Item 4.01 Changes in Registrants Certifying Accountant
(a1 and 3) Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
On June 24, 2005, PlanetOut Inc. (PlanetOut or the Company) dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP effective as its independent auditor. PlanetOuts decision to change accounting firms was approved by the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLPs reports on PlanetOuts financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During PlanetOuts two most recent fiscal years and through June 24, 2005: (i) there were no disagreements between PlanetOut and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, would have caused PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports; and (ii) there were no reportable events, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
PlanetOut has provided PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K, and has requested that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP agrees with the above statements. A copy of this letter, dated June 29, 2005, is filed as Exhibit 16 hereto.
