**Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant**'**s Certifying Accountant.** 

On February 16, 2023, Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. ("MHM"), the independent registered public accounting firm to Dyadic International, Inc. (the "registrant"), informed the registrant of its decision to resign from this role effective upon the filing of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the "2022 Form 10-K"). MHM stated that it is resigning due to its own resource constraints. Neither the registrant's audit committee nor its board of directors took part in MHM's decision to resign.

MHM's reports on the registrant's financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or auditing principles.

During the registrant's fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and subsequent interim period through February 16, 2023, there were (i) no disagreements with MHM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of MHM, would have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report, and (ii) no reportable events, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The registrant is currently in the process of identifying a successor independent registered public accounting firm and will disclose its engagement of a new independent registered public accounting firm once the selection process has been completed, as required by the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission").

MHM has provided the registrant with a letter addressed to the Commission stating that it agrees with the statements contained above insofar as they relate to MHM. A copy of such letter is filed as an exhibit hereto.
