REPLOID Group AG (ISIN: AT0000A3HRX5) has announced plans to split its shares at a ratio of 1:15, a move designed to enhance the tradability of its stock. The proposal will be submitted to the Annual General Meeting scheduled for September 14, 2026. If approved, 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.
The decision comes as REPLOID shares have recently traded at around 1,700 euros. CEO and founder Philip Pauer explained, "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 strategic move aims to lower the entry barrier for individual investors, potentially broadening the shareholder base and increasing market liquidity.
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. The share capital is to be increased from the current EUR 110,881 to EUR 1,663,215. This capital increase will be executed 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 Group AG operates in the circular economy sector, offering innovative solutions 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, where young Black Soldier Fly larvae are fed a site-specific feed mix developed from residual materials of the regional food value chain. Customers can either use the larvae and by-products themselves or have REPLOID take them back for centralized marketing or further processing.
The company sells the reared larvae directly or after processing into proteins and fats, primarily to the animal feed industry. From the by-products of insect rearing, REPLOID produces premium organic fertilizer. This decentralized upcycling approach 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 has a global focus and has been listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange's direct market plus segment since July 2025 under the ticker symbol HRX5. The group employs more than 190 people. The proposed stock split is seen as a milestone in the company's growth strategy, aiming to make its shares more accessible to a wider range of investors.
