As previously reported in Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc.’s (the “Company”), Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 1, 2014, the Company’s Audit Committee, on June 25, 2014, authorized management to proceed with the engagement of Grant Thornton, LLP (“Grant Thornton”), as the Company’s independent registered accountant for the year ended December 31, 2014, replacing BDO USA, LLP.
