REPLOID Group AG (ISIN: AT0000A3HRX5) has announced plans to execute a stock split at a ratio of 1:15, a move designed to make its shares more accessible to a broader range of investors. The company will submit a corresponding resolution to its Annual General Meeting on September 14, 2026. Upon completion of the split, the number of shares will increase 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, highlighted the rationale behind the decision: "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." The split is expected to lower the nominal trading price, potentially increasing liquidity and broadening the shareholder base.
As a precondition for the stock split, the Annual General Meeting is expected to approve an increase in share capital from company funds, which will not involve the issuance of new shares. The share capital is set to rise from the current EUR 110,881 to EUR 1,663,215. This capital increase will be achieved by converting a portion of the unrestricted capital reserves, which were accumulated from the increase in equity 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, scalable insect-rearing plants known as REPLOID ReFarmUnits. In these plants, young Black Soldier Fly larvae, supplied by REPLOID, receive a site-specific feed mix developed through the company's own research and development using residual materials from the regional food value chain. After rearing, customers can either use the larvae and their by-products themselves, or REPLOID takes them back for centralized marketing or further processing.
The company sells the reared larvae directly or, after further processing into proteins and fats, to customers in the animal feed industry. From the by-products of insect rearing, known as insect frass, REPLOID produces premium organic fertilizer. By providing decentralized upcycling on an industrial scale, REPLOID offers 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 on the Vienna Stock Exchange's direct market plus segment (ticker symbol: HRX5) since July 2025. The Group employs more than 190 people. The proposed stock split is a strategic step to enhance the tradability of its shares, aligning with the company's growth trajectory and commitment to making sustainable investment opportunities more accessible.
