Auddia Inc. (NASDAQ: AUUD) announced the filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with its definitive merger agreement with Thramann Holdings, LLC. Upon closing, the combined company will be renamed McCarthy Finney and trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol MCFN. The filing marks a significant milestone in Auddia’s transition into an AI-native platform organization designed to build, operate, and scale multiple AI-enabled businesses on a shared technical foundation.
“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,” said Jeff Thramann, CEO of Auddia and Founder of Thramann Holdings. “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.”
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; Influence Healthcare, an AI-enabled value-based care platform for surgeon autonomy; Voyex, an agentic AI travel platform for automated disruption recovery; and Auddia, an AI-driven audio platform for content recognition and ad-free listening. Each subsidiary will leverage MF-OS, McCarthy Finney’s shared AI operating system providing centralized AI engineering, workflow automation, cross-vertical data and model learning, and identity and audit frameworks.
The Company believes that legacy enterprises face structural challenges in adopting AI, and McCarthy Finney is designed as a clean slate alternative with AI-first organizational design, new role definitions aligned with agentic workflows, unified governance, and cross-subsidiary technical leverage. “We are building a platform where advances in one subsidiary accelerate progress in others,” Thramann said. “This is the compounding effect we believe will differentiate McCarthy Finney over time.”
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.

The merger agreement, entered on February 17, 2026, contemplates a business combination between Auddia and Thramann Holdings, which fully owns LT350, Influence Healthcare, and Voyex. Upon completion, Auddia will change its name to McCarthy Finney and trade under MCFN. The combined company aims to deliver AI and Web3 services to its four portfolio companies, leveraging a shared platform to achieve strategic advantages through compounding effects across subsidiaries.
