Item 4.01.

Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On November 1, 2024, CBIZ CPAs P.C. (“CBIZ CPAs”) acquired the attest business of Marcum LLP (“Marcum”). On April 22, 2025, Marcum informed Investcorp AI Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) that Marcum resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. On April 23, 2025, the Company, with the approval of the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, engaged CBIZ CPAs as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Neither of Marcum’s reports on the financial statements of the Company for either of the past two fiscal years ended, December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except for the addition of a paragraph expressing substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and through April 22, 2025, the date of Marcum’s resignation, there were (a) no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) with Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report, and (b) no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions).

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and through April 22, 2025, the date Marcum informed the Company of their resignation, neither the Company nor anyone on the Company’s behalf consulted with CBIZ CPAs regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction or regarding the type of audit opinions that might be rendered by CBIZ CPAs on the Company’s financial statements, and CBIZ CPAs did not provide any written or oral advice that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any such 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 and the related instructions), as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company has provided Marcum with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and requested that Marcum furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Commission, pursuant to Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, stating whether it agrees with the above statements made by us in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K and, if it does not agree, the respects in which it does not agree, as required under Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K. A letter to the Commission, dated April 24, 2025, from Marcum regarding its concurrence or disagreement with the statements made by the Company in this Current Report concerning the resignation of Marcum as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is attached as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.
