REPLOID Group AG (ISIN: AT0000A3HRX5) announced plans to execute a stock split at a ratio of 1:15, a strategic move designed to enhance the tradability of its shares. The company will submit a corresponding resolution to the Annual General Meeting scheduled for September 14, 2026. If approved, the split will increase the number of shares from 110,881 to 1,663,215, with each no-par value share continuing to represent a proportionate amount of share capital of EUR 1.00.
Philip Pauer, CEO and founder of REPLOID, commented: "REPLOID shares most recently traded at 1,700 euros. If we split today, the price would come in at roughly 113 euros. That's exactly our goal: to make REPLOID stock easier to trade and more attractive, particularly for retail investors." This move underscores the company's commitment to broadening its investor base and increasing liquidity in the market.
As a precondition for the stock split, the Annual General Meeting is expected to resolve on an increase in share capital from company funds—without the issuance of new shares. Share capital is to be increased from the current EUR 110,881 to EUR 1,663,215. This capital increase will be carried out by converting a portion of the unrestricted capital reserves, which were built up from the increase in equity achieved during the 2025 fiscal year.
REPLOID operates within the circular economy, offering an innovative system for the industrial utilization of regional organic residues from the food industry. The company builds and services modular and scalable insect-rearing plants, known as REPLOID ReFarmUnits. In these plants, young Black Soldier Fly larvae supplied by the company receive a site-specific feed mix, developed through REPLOID’s own research and development using residual materials from the regional food value chain. After rearing, customers either use the larvae and/or their by-products themselves, or REPLOID takes them back for centralized marketing or further processing.
REPLOID sells the reared larvae either directly or, after further processing into proteins and fats, to customers in the animal feed industry. From the by-products of insect rearing (insect frass), the company produces premium organic fertilizer. With decentralized upcycling on an industrial scale, REPLOID provides an economically attractive solution within the circular economy, efficiently utilizing food residues and unused food to help conserve key resources over the long term.
Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Wels, Austria, REPLOID Group AG has a global focus and has been listed since July 2025 on the Vienna Stock Exchange’s direct market plus segment (ticker symbol: HRX5). The Group employs more than 190 people. The proposed stock split is a significant step in making the company's shares more accessible, particularly for retail investors, which could lead to increased trading activity and broader market participation.
