Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a) Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
(i) On July 26, 2005, the CTS Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”) dismissed
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Plan’s independent registered public accounting firm. The
decision was recommended and approved by the CTS Corporation Benefit Plan Administration Committee
(the “Committee”).
(ii) The reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on the Plan’s financial statements for the years
ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 contained no adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were
not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.
(iii) During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and through July 26, 2005, there have been
no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP 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 PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP would have caused
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to make reference thereto in its reports on the Plan’s financial
statements for such years.
(iv) During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and through July 26, 2005, there have been
no reportable events (as defined in Item 304 (a) (1) (v) of Regulation S-K).
(v) The Plan requested that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP furnish it with a letter addressed to the
Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A
copy of that letter, which was received by the Plan on August 23, 2005, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to
this Form 8-K/A.
(b) New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Committee appointed McGladrey & Pullen LLP as its new independent registered public accounting
firm as of August 9, 2005. During the two most recent fiscal years and through August 9, 2005 the
Plan has not consulted with McGladrey & Pullen LLP regarding either (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 Plan’s financial statements, and McGladrey & Pullen LLP
did not provide a written report or oral advice to the Plan which McGladrey & Pullen LLP concluded
was an important factor considered by the Plan in reaching a decision as to the accounting,
auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a
disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related
instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item
304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation
S-K.
