Item 4.01Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On April 1, 2026, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. (the “Company”) dismissed KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately, and approved the engagement of Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2026, effective immediately. KPMG was notified of the dismissal on April 1, 2026.
KPMG’s reports on the Company’s consolidated and combined financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and during the subsequent interim period through April 1, 2026, (i) there were no disagreements (within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto) between the Company and KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to KPMG’s satisfaction, would have caused KPMG to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report on the Company’s consolidated and combined financial statements for the relevant year, and (ii) there were no reportable events (as defined by Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and during the subsequent interim period through April 1, 2026, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with Grant Thornton 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 Company’s consolidated and combined financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Grant Thornton 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 either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto), or (iii) any reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
In accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, the Company provided KPMG with a copy of the disclosure set forth above and requested that KPMG furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether KPMG agrees with the statements made by the Company in the disclosure, and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of KPMG’s letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We were previously principal accountants for Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. (the Company) and, under the

of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025.
On April 1, 2026, we were dismissed.
We have read the Company’s statements included under Item 4.01 of its Form 8-K dated April 1, 2026, and we
