("Network-1") that as a result of the acquisition of Marcum by CBIZ , Inc.("CBIZ") that Marcum had to resign as Network-1's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2024 due to a conflict of interest related to services performed by CBIZ.

The Company provided Marcum with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested from Marcum a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission indicating whether it agrees with such disclosures.
