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. 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.
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 to turn parking lot airspace into AI datacenters; Influence Healthcare, an AI-enabled value-based care platform focused on reducing administrative burden in high-cost surgical episodes; Voyex, an agentic AI travel platform for 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 the McCarthy Finney Operating System (MF-OS), a 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.
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 company believes that legacy enterprises face structural challenges in adopting AI due to entrenched hierarchies and legacy systems, and McCarthy Finney is designed as a clean slate alternative, enabling AI-first organizational design and unified governance.
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. Auddia previously completed a $12 million financing that is expected to satisfy the cash at closing requirement under the definitive merger agreement.

The merger contemplates a business combination between Auddia Inc. and Thramann Holdings, LLC, a single member Colorado LLC that fully owns LT350, Influence Healthcare, and Voyex. Upon merger completion, Auddia will change its name to McCarthy Finney and trade under the ticker MCFN. McCarthy Finney is an AI holding company that will deliver AI and Web3 services to its four portfolio companies. LT350 is a distributed AI data center company with 13 issued, 1 allowed, and 3 pending patents on its proprietary solar parking lot canopy infrastructure. Influence Healthcare leverages AI, blockchain, and vertical integration to empower surgeons in value-based care. Voyex uses agentic AI and integrated fintech to improve travel experiences.
