Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

Resignation of Current Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On November 9, 2022, BDO USA, LLP ("BDO") notified RealNetworks, Inc. (the "Company") that it resigned as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

BDO's report on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the subsequent interim periods through the date of BDO's resignation, there were (i) no disagreements with BDO on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, any of which, if not resolved to BDO's satisfaction, would have caused BDO to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such fiscal years, and (ii) no "reportable events" within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company provided BDO with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Form 8-K and requested that BDO furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of such letter, dated November 15, 2022, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.

Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

As of the date of this Form 8-K, our Audit Committee has not retained a new independent registered public accounting firm.
