Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

Ennis, Inc. (the “Company”) was advised by BKM Sowan Horan, LLP (“BKM”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, that on November 1, 2022, BKM completed a business combination agreement with CohnReznick, LLP (“CohnReznick”). Effective November 15, 2022, BKM ceased performing professional audit and tax services. As a result of this transaction, BKM resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective November 15, 2022. On December 9, 2022, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved the engagement of CohnReznick to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s year ended February 28, 2023.

During the interim period from March 1, 2022 through November 14, 2022, there were (a) no disagreements (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and BKM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to BKM’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the Company’s financial statements; and (b) no reportable events within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company provided BKM with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that BKM furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether BKM agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of BKM’s letter dated December 14, 2022, is filed as Exhibit 16.1.

During the years ended February 28, 2021 and 2020, and the subsequent interim periods through December 9, 2022, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has consulted with CohnReznick regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements or the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, and neither a written report or oral advice was provided to the Company hat CohnReznick concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K; or (iii) any reportable event within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. The Company provided CohnReznick with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that CohnReznick furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether CohnReznick agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of CohnReznick’s letter dated December 14, 2022, is filed as Exhibit 16.2.
