Item 4.01 Changes in the Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On September 2, 2026, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors

(the “Committee”) of Katapult Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the dismissal of Grant Thornton LLP

(“Grant Thornton”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately.

The reports of Grant Thornton on the Company’s financial statements

for each of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer

of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that Grant Thornton’s

reports for each such fiscal year included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to

continue as a going concern.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31,

2024, and the subsequent interim period preceding such dismissal, there were (i) no “disagreements” (as that term is

defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) with Grant Thornton on any matter of accounting principles

or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction

of Grant Thornton, would have caused Grant Thornton to make reference to the matter of the disagreement in their reports on the financial

statements for such years and (ii) no “reportable events” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation

S-K) except for the material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual

Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, relating to personnel with appropriate U.S. GAAP knowledge

and experience and controls over journal entries and account reconciliations, which the Company concluded had been remediated as of December 31,

2024.

The Company provided Grant Thornton with a copy of the disclosures

it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that Grant Thornton furnish the Company a letter addressed to the Securities

and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of Grant Thornton’s letter, dated September 4,

2026, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

(b) Appointment of New Independent Registered Public Accounting

Firm

On September 2, 2026, the Committee approved the engagement of

Elliott Davis, PLLC (“Elliott Davis”) as its new independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately.

Prior to the Company’s business combination with CCF Holdings

LLC (“CCFI”) and Aaron’s Intermediate Holdco, Inc. (“Aaron’s”), which was completed on August 11,

2026 (the “Closing”), Elliott Davis served as the independent registered public accounting firm for both CCFI (since 2020)

and Aaron’s (since 2024). CCFI and Aaron’s are now wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31,

2025 and December 31, 2024, and for the subsequent interim period preceding such appointment, neither the Company (as it existed

prior to the Closing) nor anyone on its behalf consulted Elliott Davis regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to

a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the consolidated financial

statements of the Company, in connection with which neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Elliott

Davis concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting

issue or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or

a reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. However, during such period, Elliott Davis served as the

independent registered public accounting firm for CCFI and Aaron’s, as described above, and in such capacity rendered audit opinions

on the financial statements of CCFI and Aaron’s that are incorporated into the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange

Commission.
