Up to 5,000,000 Shares of Common Stock

This prospectus relates to the offering and resale by White Lion Capital LLC (“White Lion” or the “Selling Securityholder”) of up to 5,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share.

The shares of common stock being offered by the Selling Securityholder have been or may be issued and sold to the Selling Securityholder pursuant to the purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) effective as of November 6, 2023, that we entered into with White Lion. See “The White Lion Transaction” for a description of the Purchase Agreement and “Selling Securityholder” for additional information regarding White Lion. The prices at which White Lion may resell the shares offered hereby will be determined by the prevailing market price for the shares or in negotiated transactions. We are not selling any securities under this prospectus and will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by the Selling Securityholder. However, we may receive proceeds of up to $5.9 million from the sale of our common stock to the Selling Securityholder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and registered hereby, once the registration statement that includes this prospectus is declared effective. There can be no assurances that White Lion will sell any or all of the securities offered under this prospectus.

We have already issued 1,540,000 shares of common stock to White Lion under the Purchase Agreement for proceeds of $4,136,508 and have an effective registration statement (No. 333-275441) (the “Initial Registration Statement”) that registers the resale by White Lion of these shares. We are filing this registration statement to register for resale additional shares of our common stock not covered by the Initial Registration Statement.

The Selling Securityholder may sell or otherwise dispose of the shares of common stock described in this prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices. See “Plan of Distribution” for more information about how the Selling Securityholder may sell or otherwise dispose of the shares of common stock being registered pursuant to this prospectus. The Selling Securityholder is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Selling Securityholder will pay all brokerage fees and commissions and similar expenses. We will pay the expenses (except brokerage fees and commissions and similar expenses) incurred in registering the shares of common stock offered hereby, including legal and accounting fees. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “AUUD.” On April 10, 2024, the closing price for our common stock, as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market, was $2.60 per share. Our warrants offered in connection with our initial public offering (the “Series A Warrants”) are quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “AUUDW.” The last reported sale price of our Series A Warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market on April 9, 2024 was $0.11 per Series A Warrant.

We have received deficiency letters from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that we are not in compliance with Nasdaq’s (i) minimum bid price requirement of at least $1.00 per share (the “Bid Price Requirement”) and (ii) the requirement to have at least $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity. On October 24, 2023, the Nasdaq staff notified us that we had not met the terms required to be granted an additional 180-day period to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. Accordingly, the Nasdaq staff had determined to delist the Company’s common stock from Nasdaq. The Company requested a hearing before a hearings panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the delisting notice from the staff. The Company’s hearing with the Panel occurred on January 18, 2024. On January 30, 2024, the Panel granted the Company’s request for an exception to the Exchange’s listing rules until April 22, 2024, to demonstrate with all applicable continued listing requirements for the Nasdaq Capital Market. On March 20, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq stating it had regained compliance with the minimum bid requirement. The Panel reminded the Company that although it regained compliance with the minimum bid requirement, it is also required to regain compliance with the equity requirement. See “Risk Factors — “We may not be able to continue our current listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. A delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq could limit the liquidity of our stock, increase its volatility and hinder our ability to raise capital.”
