Auddia Warrants Expire as Company Prepares for Transformational Merger

Auddia Inc. announced that its publicly traded warrants expired on February 19, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time in accordance with their original terms. Trading in the warrants, which traded on Nasdaq under the symbol AUUDW, ceased at market close on February 18, 2026, after which they were removed from listing. Any warrants that remained unexercised at expiration were voided and hold no further value.

This expiration occurs automatically under the warrant agreement and required no action from warrant holders. The company confirmed the event has no impact on its common stock, which continues to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol AUUD. The warrant expiration represents a routine corporate milestone as Auddia progresses toward significant structural changes.

The company is currently executing a transformational business combination that, upon closing, will result in the formation of McCarthy Finney, Inc. This new entity will operate as a holding company delivering AI and web3 shared services to its subsidiaries. Upon completion of the merger transaction, McCarthy Finney is expected to trade under the ticker symbol MCFN.

Auddia operates through its proprietary AI platform for audio, which aims to transform how consumers engage with AM/FM radio, podcasts, and other audio content. The company’s Discovr Radio platform provides artists guaranteed exposure to radio listeners, while its flagship audio superapp, faidr, offers free listening with multiple industry-first experiences including AI-enabled ad-free listening on any AM/FM music station, content skipping across music stations, one-touch skipping of podcast ad breaks, and integrated artist discovery features. More information about the company is available at www.auddia.com.

The warrant expiration and pending merger highlight Auddia’s transition from its current corporate structure to a broader holding company model focused on artificial intelligence and decentralized web technologies. This corporate evolution reflects the company’s strategic shift toward providing shared technological services across multiple subsidiaries rather than operating solely as an audio technology provider.
