Auddia Inc. (NASDAQ: AUUD) announced today that it has filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with its previously announced definitive merger agreement with Thramann Holdings, LLC. Upon closing, the combined company will be renamed McCarthy Finney and will trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol MCFN. The filing represents a significant milestone in the Company's transition into an AI-native platform organization designed to build, operate, and scale multiple AI-enabled businesses on a shared technical foundation.
McCarthy Finney will operate four AI-enabled businesses: LT350, a distributed AI infrastructure company deploying a proprietary solar parking lot canopy that integrates modular battery storage and GPU cartridges into the ceiling of the canopy to turn the airspace of any parking lot into an AI datacenter; Influence Healthcare, an AI-enabled value-based care platform designed to empower surgeon autonomy and reduce administrative burden in high-cost surgical episodes; Voyex, an agentic AI travel platform focused on automated disruption recovery, rebooking, and multimodal itinerary management; and Auddia, an AI-driven audio platform enabling advanced content recognition, artist discovery, and ad-free AM/FM listening.
Each subsidiary will leverage MF-OS, McCarthy Finney's shared AI operating system that provides centralized AI engineering, workflow automation tools, cross-vertical data and model learning infrastructure, and identity, permissions, and audit frameworks. The Company believes that legacy enterprises face structural challenges in adopting AI due to entrenched hierarchies, legacy systems, and cultural resistance to automation. McCarthy Finney is designed as a clean slate alternative, enabling AI-first organizational design, new role definitions aligned with agentic workflows, unified governance and capital allocation, and cross-subsidiary technical leverage.
Jeff Thramann, CEO of Auddia and Founder of Thramann Holdings, stated, 'The S-4 filing is a major step toward creating McCarthy Finney, a purpose-built AI holding company designed from the ground up to accelerate the development of agentic AI applications across multiple industries. Our goal is to build a unified platform where AI workflows, engineering resources, and shared infrastructure compound across subsidiaries to create a long-term strategic advantage.'
The S-4 will undergo SEC review, after which Auddia will schedule a shareholder vote to approve the merger. The Company expects the transaction to close following completion of the SEC review process and satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Company previously completed a $12 million financing that is expected to satisfy the cash at closing requirement under the definitive merger agreement.
