Audidia, which operates the radio and podcast listening app Faidr, has filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as it moves forward with its planned merger with Thramann Holdings. This will transform the audio technology company into a holding company focused on broader artificial intelligence.
The company said the filing of a Form S-4 registration statement, a document that public companies must file to register new securities in connection with transactions such as mergers, acquisitions and debt exchanges, is a key step in completing the merger. First announced in February. Subject to shareholder and regulatory approval, the combined company will be renamed McCarthy Finney and trade on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol MCFN.
The proposed company would oversee four AI-focused businesses with operations in healthcare, travel, data infrastructure and audio technology.
“The S-4 filing is a major step toward creating McCarthy Finney, an AI-only holding company designed from the ground up to accelerate the development of agent AI applications across multiple industries,” Jeff Thramann, CEO of Audidia and founder of Thramann Holdings, said in a news release.
“Our goal is to build an integrated platform where AI workflows, engineering resources, and shared infrastructure combine across our subsidiaries to create long-term strategic advantages,” Sulaman adds.
McCarthy Finney plans to operate through a shared internal system called MF-OS, which will provide centralized AI engineering, workflow automation and data sharing tools across the business, according to the filing.
The four operating companies include LT350, which is developing a solar-powered parking canopy designed to house a modular AI data center; Influence Healthcare is a healthcare technology company focused on reducing administrative tasks for surgeons. Voyex is an AI-based travel platform aimed at responding to flight disruptions and rebookings. and Audidia’s existing audio business.
