**Auddia Announces New Corporate Overview on Company Website**

Webcast Scheduled at LD Micro Conference on Tuesday October 21, 2025 at 2:00 PM PT

 

*Overview reflects previously announced proposals to restructure Auddia as a holding company delivering AI and web3 capabilities to portfolio companies as well as details of the B2B business model pivot for faidr*

 

***McCarthy Finney*** *(NASDAQ: MCFN) identified as the name of the surviving public company assuming closing of the proposed business combination*

*Company name honors John McCarthy, the father of AI, and Hal Finney, the father of digital currency* 

BOULDER, CO / October 16, 2025 / **Auddia Inc.** (NASDAQ:AUUD) (NASDAQ:AUUDW) ("Auddia" or the "Company"), a technology company that has built a proprietary AI platform for audio identification and classification to reinvent how consumers engage with audio, today announced it has updated its corporate overview on the Company website.

The Company recently announced the signing of a non-binding LOI for a proposed business combination and restructuring which remains in progress as the parties continue to work towards executing definitive documents. The proposed business combination is aimed at restructuring Auddia as a holding company that will deliver AI and web3 (blockchain & crypto) capabilities to its portfolio companies.

In support of this mission, Auddia secured the URL for www.mccarthyfinney.com and reserved the NASDAQ ticker MCFN. To reflect the holding company's AI focus, the name references John McCarthy who is a computer scientist widely considered to be the father of artificial intelligence and credited with the first use of the phrase. To reflect the holding company's web3 focus, the name references Hal Finney who was instrumental in creating the concept of digital currency and was famously the counterparty to the first Bitcoin transaction initiated by Satoshi Nakomoto.

Auddia followed the LOI announcement with an announcement that the Company was shifting from a subscription based direct to consumer business model to a B2B business model focused on AI driven music discovery.

With the new corporate overview deck the Company is incorporating the business combination and restructuring activities while focusing the presentation of the Auddia business on the new B2B business model. The new deck can be viewed on the Company website at this link; Events & Presentations \| Auddia \| Investor Relations.

The Company will be presenting at the 19th Annual Main Event on Tuesday, October 21, 2025 at 2:00 PM PT at the Hotel del Coronado in San Diego, CA. Jeff Thramann, CEO and Chairman will be giving the presentation.
