Explanatory Note

The Registrant filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on April 24, 2026 (the “First Form 8-K”) to disclose, among other things, that on Aprill 22, 2026 it had: (i) dismissed BDO USA, P.C. as its independent registered public accounting firm, and engaged Baker Tilly US, LLP (“Baker Tilly”) as its new independent registered public accounting firm. Subsequently, it was determined that Baker Tilly’s engagement did not begin until May 7, 2026. This Current Report on Form 8-K reports such engagement pursuant to paragraph (b) of Item 4.01 and the Instruction thereto. Accordingly, the information relating to Baker Tilly in the First Form 8-K should be disregarded owing to the subsequent change in the date of engagement.

Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On May 7, 2026, Redwood Mortgage Investors IX, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), engaged Baker Tilly as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to appoint Baker Tilly was approved by the Company’s manager, Redwood Mortgage Corp.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and during the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2026 through May 7, 2026, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with Baker Tilly regarding (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 Company’s financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company that Baker Tilly concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an 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 related instructions), or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
