Auddia Inc. develops a proprietary AI platform for audio identification and classification used in consumer audio products and music-promotion tools. Its recurring company updates center on the faidr audio superapp, AM/FM radio and podcast engagement features, and Discovr Radio, a platform for artist discovery and radio-listener exposure.
Auddia news also covers capital-structure actions, public offerings, warrants, preferred-stock exchanges, reverse stock splits, shareholder voting matters, Nasdaq listing compliance, material agreements, and operating and financial results. The company’s common stock and warrants trade under AUUD and AUUDW.
Auddia (AUUD) published a CEO shareholder letter updating its proposed merger with Thramann Holdings and LT350’s AI datacenter development plans. A definitive merger agreement was signed on February 17, 2026. If completed, the transaction would combine Auddia with LT350, Influence Healthcare and Voyex under the name McCarthy Finney.
LT350 is advancing its first pilot canopy at a hospital in the Dallas metropolitan area and discussing partnerships with fiber providers, real estate owners and infrastructure organizations. Its strategy is to form a national consortium of real estate and fiber partners for potential datacenter sites. Auddia expects LT350’s parking-lot canopy infrastructure to cost approximately $3 million per MW, with shorter deployment timelines. The proposed combined company’s expected MCFN ticker remains subject to applicable approvals and listing requirements.
Auddia (AUUD) canceled its October 7, 2026 special shareholder meeting to vote on the proposed merger with Thramann Holdings.
Approximately 89% of votes cast favored the merger, but favorable votes fell short of the required majority of outstanding common shares entitled to vote. Proxy solicitation advisors indicated that insufficient additional shareholders could be located from the August 3 record date and that this was unlikely to change.
The proposed combination would form McCarthy Finney, bringing together Auddia and LT350, Influence Healthcare and Voyex. Auddia says LT350's distributed AI datacenter opportunity has expanded, with discussions initiated with potential partners. A CEO letter is planned later this week; following that update and additional expected announcements, Auddia expects to set a new record date and reschedule the vote. The proposed MCFN ticker remains subject to approvals and listing requirements.
Auddia (AUUD) adjourned its special stockholder meeting on the proposed Thramann Holdings merger to October 7, 2026. The meeting was convened on September 23 and immediately adjourned; it will resume virtually at 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time. Approximately 88% of shares that have cast votes on the merger proposal to date voted in favor. Approval requires votes in favor from a majority of all outstanding Auddia shares, a threshold not yet reached. The company said the adjournment gives more stockholders time to vote.
Auddia entered into a definitive merger agreement with Thramann Holdings on February 17, 2026. If completed, the transaction would combine Auddia with LT350, Influence Healthcare and Voyex, three early-stage companies owned by Thramann Holdings. The combined company would be renamed McCarthy Finney and is expected to trade as MCFN, subject to approvals and listing requirements. Proxies already submitted remain valid.
Auddia (AUUD) announced that former U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark T. Esper has been appointed to the Board of Directors of LT350, one of three AI-native operating companies that would combine with Auddia to form McCarthy Finney if Auddia’s pending merger with Thramann Holdings is completed.
LT350 develops secure, distributed, edge-based AI datacenter infrastructure using solar parking lot canopies integrating battery storage and GPU cartridges to create resilient, low-latency compute networks for critical government and civil infrastructure. Esper’s experience leading the Department of Defense is expected by the company to enhance LT350’s strategic positioning in defense modernization, critical infrastructure resilience, and energy grid reinforcement as it advances pilot deployments and prepares to seek initial commercial and defense partnerships following the merger closing. After completion, LT350 would operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of McCarthy Finney.
Auddia (AUUD) announced a strategic partnership between its Discovr Radio artist-promotion platform and UK-based Music Video Marketplace (MVM) on September 10, 2026.
The collaboration links Discovr Radio’s guaranteed AM/FM radio placements with MVM’s curated library of professionally produced, human-made 4K music videos. MVM users gain a direct path to Discovr Radio campaigns, while Discovr Radio artists and labels can match, customize, and license cinematic videos for release-ready visual content. Both companies will cross-promote services in their portals and dashboards, and plan co-marketed campaigns, educational content, and future product integrations.
Auddia also highlights a previously signed definitive merger agreement with Thramann Holdings, after which the combined company is expected to be renamed McCarthy Finney and trade under the ticker MCFN, subject to completion of the proposed transaction.
Auddia (NASDAQ: AUUD)/b) announced that portfolio company signed a Letter of Intent to sublease, and later assume the master lease of, a 24,000-square-foot specialty hospital in the Dallas–Fort Worth MSA, featuring four operating rooms focused on spine and orthopedic surgery.
According to Auddia, each OR is expected to support $5M–$10M in annual revenue, aligning with Influence Healthcare’s AI-enabled, value-based care model. The LOI targets hospital delivery and operational occupancy by June 1, 2027, and outlines a transition from sublease to full master lease assignment running through January 24, 2036, contingent on operational, financial, and regulatory performance criteria. This is positioned as Influence Healthcare’s first operational hospital and an early milestone for the businesses expected to form McCarthy Finney under Auddia’s proposed merger with Thramann Holdings.
Auddia (NASDAQ: AUUD) announced that CEO Jeff Thramann is scheduled to appear on Fox Business’ Varney & Co. on August 26, 2026 at approximately 9:45 am ET to discuss LT350’s distributed parking-lot-canopy micro–data center strategy as an alternative to AI mega centers.
Auddia previously entered a definitive merger agreement with Thramann Holdings, which fully owns LT350, Influence Healthcare, and Voyex. Following completion, Auddia plans to be renamed McCarthy Finney and trade under ticker MCFN, operating as an AI holding company serving four portfolio businesses, including Auddia’s existing AI audio platform.
Auddia (NASDAQ: AUUD) announced company-wide adoption of an AI-first development model that embeds AI into design, coding, and testing to increase development speed and reduce engineering needs. The model was validated on the upcoming release of Auddia’s flagship audio superapp, faidr, which adds a faster listening experience and new genre-based playlisting.
According to Auddia, initial rollout delivered approximately 4.8x faster feature delivery per engineer, about 79% fewer engineering resources for comparable work, and a release-cycle reduction from roughly 7 weeks to 2.5 weeks. The company expects a 40%–50% decrease in engineering costs versus its current outsourced solution as it applies the model across faidr, Discovr Radio, and its broader product portfolio. Subject to completion of Auddia’s proposed merger with Thramann Holdings to form McCarthy Finney (ticker: MCFN), the AI-first model is also expected to support software development across the combined portfolio.
Auddia (NASDAQ: AUUD) announced an exclusive partnership with AMG Corp that makes Auddia’s Discovr Radio the label’s sole digital radio release channel for every active artist campaign. This is Discovr Radio’s first label deal and embeds the platform directly into AMG’s release workflow.
Each AMG campaign features a 7-release cadence—six songs and one EP—dropping every 6–8 weeks, which AMG will mirror on Discovr Radio. According to Auddia, every AMG release will be delivered to AM/FM streaming listeners in the U.S. and Canada through Discovr Radio’s AI Placement Engine, with artists gaining access to detailed campaign analytics via the Artist Portal. The release also reiterates Auddia’s previously announced definitive merger agreement with Thramann Holdings, under which the combined company will be renamed McCarthy Finney and is expected to trade under ticker MCFN after completion.
Auddia (NASDAQ: AUUD) announced it has filed its definitive proxy statement with the SEC and set a special shareholder meeting for September 23, 2026 to vote on its proposed merger with Thramann Holdings. This follows the SEC’s declaration of effectiveness for Auddia’s Form S-4 registration statement, moving the transaction into its final procedural phase. Shareholders of record as of August 3, 2026 will receive the proxy materials.
The merger, first agreed on February 17, 2026, would combine Auddia with Thramann Holdings, which fully owns three AI-focused companies: LT350, Influence Healthcare, and Voyex. Upon completion, Auddia will be renamed McCarthy Finney and trade under the ticker MCFN, operating as an AI holding company serving four portfolio companies: LT350, Influence Healthcare, Voyex, and Auddia.
Remaining steps include distribution of the definitive proxy, the shareholder vote, satisfaction of closing conditions in the merger agreement, and completion of the merger with transition to McCarthy Finney.
