Auddia Files S-4 for Merger with Thramann Holdings, Paving Way for McCarthy Finney AI Platform

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 (SEC) in connection with its previously announced definitive merger agreement with Thramann Holdings, LLC. The filing marks a significant step toward creating McCarthy Finney, a combined company designed to operate multiple AI-enabled businesses on a shared agentic AI platform. Upon closing, McCarthy Finney will trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol MCFN.

The merger brings together four AI-native businesses: LT350, a distributed AI infrastructure company deploying solar parking lot canopies with integrated GPU cartridges; Influence Healthcare, an AI-enabled value-based care platform for surgeons; Voyex, an agentic AI travel platform for automated disruption recovery; and Auddia, an AI-driven audio platform for ad-free AM/FM listening. Each will leverage the McCarthy Finney Operating System (MF-OS), a shared AI platform providing centralized engineering, workflow automation, and cross-vertical data learning.

Jeff Thramann, CEO of Auddia and founder of Thramann Holdings, emphasized the strategic advantage of a unified platform: “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 company believes legacy enterprises face structural challenges in adopting AI, while McCarthy Finney is designed as a clean slate alternative with AI-first organizational design and unified governance.

The S-4 filing includes a third-party fairness opinion and financial projections for McCarthy Finney. A previously completed $12 million financing 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 transaction is expected to close following SEC review and satisfaction of customary conditions.
