Amendment Description On July 25, 2016, the Audit Committee of Cellectar Biosciences, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Board of Directors engaged Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP (“Baker Tilly”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2016. The Company’s prior auditors were discharged on July 11, 2016, as reported in the Company’s Form 8-K dated July 14, 2016. On September 20, 2016, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors engaged Baker Tilly to re-audit the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 in order to replace the report issued by the predecessor auditors. The audit of our consolidated financial statements by Baker Tilly for these two years did not find any material misstatements so as to warrant any restatements of the previously issued financial statements audited by the predecessor auditors for the same periods. We are filing this Amendment No. 2 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 11, 2016 (the “Original Report”) and as amended by Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on July 18, 2016, to include the new audit report of Baker Tilly on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, to update Note 17 to the financial statements to reflect certain events occurring subsequent to the filing of our Original Report, and to file certain exhibits in Item 15. Other than the changes outlined above, there are no changes to the Original Report as amended, and this Amendment No. 2 does not change the other disclosures contained in the Original Report as heretofore amended. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 2 should be read in conjunction with the Original Report as heretofore amended and our other filings with the SEC. In addition, except as specifically described above, this Amendment No. 2 does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Report, nor does it modify or update disclosures therein in any way other than as required to reflect the revisions described above. Among other things, forward-looking statements made in the Original Report have not been revised to reflect events that occurred or facts that became known to the Company after the filing of the Original Report, and such forward looking statements should be read in their historical context.
