Material Changes

- Initial Agreement: On August 5, 2025, the Company entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) for a business combination where Auddia would become a public holding company.
- First Extension: On September 3, 2025, the exclusivity period was extended by 45 days, originally set to expire on October 18, 2025.
- Current Extension: On October 17, 2025, the parties agreed to extend the exclusivity period until 30 days after the SEC resumes normal operations following a government shutdown that commenced on October 1, 2025.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Transaction Structure: The proposed combination involves Auddia and Holdings merging, with portfolio companies of both entities becoming subsidiaries of the new public holding company. The combined entity will trade under a new name and ticker symbol.
Closing Conditions: The definitive agreement is subject to customary conditions, including board and stockholder approvals, regulatory approvals, effectiveness of a registration statement, and continued listing on Nasdaq.
Risks and Contingencies: The timeline for the transaction is contingent upon the duration of the government shutdown affecting SEC operations. The LOI remains non-binding until a definitive agreement is executed.
