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 definitive merger agreement with Thramann Holdings, LLC. The filing marks a significant step toward creating McCarthy Finney, a combined company designed as an AI-native platform to build, operate, and scale multiple AI-enabled businesses on a shared technical foundation.
Upon closing, the combined company will be renamed McCarthy Finney and will trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol MCFN. The merger agreement was previously announced on February 17, 2026, and the S-4 filing includes a third-party fairness opinion and financial projections for McCarthy Finney.
“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 proprietary solar parking lot canopies that integrate modular battery storage and GPU cartridges to turn parking lot airspace into AI datacenters; Influence Healthcare, an AI-enabled value-based care platform aimed at reducing administrative burden in surgical episodes; Voyex, an agentic AI travel platform focused on automated disruption recovery and itinerary management; and Auddia, an AI-driven audio platform for advanced content recognition and ad-free listening.
Each subsidiary will leverage MF-OS, McCarthy Finney’s shared AI operating system, which provides centralized AI engineering, workflow automation tools, cross-vertical data and model learning infrastructure, and identity and audit frameworks. The company believes this clean-slate approach avoids the structural challenges legacy enterprises face in adopting AI, such as entrenched hierarchies and cultural resistance to automation.
The company previously completed a $12 million financing that is expected to satisfy the cash at closing requirement under the merger agreement. 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.
