The adjournment is a procedural step intended to provide additional time\nfor stockholders who have not yet voted to submit their proxies.

The adjourned meeting will continue to be held virtually\nvia a live audio webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/AUUD2026SM.\n\nThe Company issued the following statement:\n\nApproximately 88% of Auddia shares casting votes to date on the merger\nproposal have been in favor of the merger with Thramann Holdings, a level of\nsupport that demonstrates strong momentum behind the transaction. The\ntransaction, however, can only be completed once a majority of all outstanding\nAuddia shares have been voted for the merger proposal. The Company currently\nremains short of this threshold because not enough stockholders have voted\nyet, not because stockholders are voting against the proposed merger. Voting\nactivity has increased recently, reinforcing the Company’s expectation that\ncontinued outreach and additional stockholder participation will drive further\nprogress toward reaching the required threshold before the adjourned meeting.\n\nThe Board of Directors remains firmly confident that the merger with Thramann\nHoldings represents the best path to long term shareholder value and believes\nthe strong preliminary support from voters validates the strategic rationale\nfor the combination. While the solicitation continues during this procedural\nadjournment, Auddia continues to execute operationally across both Auddia and\nthe Thramann Holdings entities, particularly with respect to LT350, which is\ngaining increasing recognition as a compelling solution to the community\nresistance being faced by large datacenter deployments.\n\n“We are encouraged that approximately 88% of the shares voted to date on the\nmerger are in support of the transaction, demonstrating overwhelming support\nfor the proposal,” said Jeff Thramann, Chief Executive Officer of Auddia.\n“With voting activity ongoing, we are confident that continued stockholder\nparticipation can move us closer to the required threshold. We continue to\nbelieve the combination with Thramann Holdings offers the most compelling path\nto building long term value for Auddia stockholders.”\n\nWe urge stockholders to submit their votes as soon as possible in order to\nrealize the benefits of the transaction and protect the value of their\ninvestment.\n\nVOTE TODAY\n\nStockholders of record as of the close of business on August 3, 2026, are\nentitled to vote at the Special Meeting.
