On November 11, 2023, Auddia Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Jeffrey Thramann, the Company’s Executive Chairman (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to which it issued and sold one (1) share (the “Share”) of the Company’s newly designated Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), to such Purchaser for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and agreements and obligations of the parties.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
The Share of Series A Preferred Stock have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration under the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(a)(2) thereof.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On November 13, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to create a new class of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Certificate of Designation designates one (1) share of authorized preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock.
The Certificate of Designation provides that the Share of Series A Preferred Stock will have 30,000,000 votes and will vote together with the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as a single class exclusively with respect to any proposal to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock.
The Share of Series A Preferred Stock will be voted, without action by the holder, on any such reverse stock split proposal in the same proportion as shares of common stock are voted on such proposal (excluding any common shares that are not voted). The Series A Preferred Stock otherwise has no voting rights, except as may otherwise be required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
The Share of Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or series of stock or other securities of the Company. The Share of Series A Preferred Stock has no rights with respect to any distribution of assets of the Company, including upon a liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, merger, acquisition, sale, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntarily or involuntarily. The holder of the Share of Series A Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive dividends of any kind.
The outstanding share of Preferred Stock shall be redeemed in whole, but not in part, at any time (i) if such redemption is ordered by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion or (ii) automatically upon the effectiveness of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation implementing a reverse stock split. Upon such redemption, the holder of the Preferred Stock will receive consideration of $1,000.00 in cash.
The foregoing description of the Certificate of Designation does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Designation, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
