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 marks 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. Auddia CEO Jeff Thramann stated that the 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 focused on surgeon autonomy; Voyex, an agentic AI travel platform for automated disruption recovery; 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 that provides centralized AI engineering, workflow automation tools, cross-vertical data and model learning infrastructure, and identity, permissions, and audit frameworks.
The company believes legacy enterprises face structural challenges in adopting AI due to entrenched hierarchies and legacy systems. McCarthy Finney is designed as a clean slate alternative, enabling AI-first organizational design and cross-subsidiary technical leverage. The S-4 includes a third-party fairness opinion and financial projections for McCarthy Finney. The company previously completed a $12 million financing 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 transaction is expected to close following completion of the SEC review process and satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
