REPLOID Group AG (ISIN: AT0000A3HRX5) has announced plans to execute a stock split at a ratio of 1:15, a move designed to increase the liquidity and accessibility of its shares. The company will submit a corresponding resolution to its Annual General Meeting on September 14, 2026. If approved, the number of shares will surge 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, emphasized 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 high nominal price of the shares has been a barrier for many individual investors, and the split aims to lower the entry point, making the stock more accessible to a broader investor base.
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 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.
This strategic move is part of REPLOID's broader efforts to enhance shareholder value and market participation. By making its shares more affordable, the company aims to attract a wider range of investors, potentially increasing trading volume and market depth. The split also reflects management's confidence in the company's financial stability and growth prospects, as it leverages its capital reserves to facilitate the restructuring.
REPLOID Group AG offers 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 for its customers – the REPLOID ReFarmUnits. In these plants, young Black Soldier Fly larvae supplied by the company receive a site-specific feed mix, developed on the basis of 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, for example, 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, helping to 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. This stock split initiative underscores REPLOID's commitment to broadening its investor base and fostering a more liquid trading environment, which could be pivotal for its future growth trajectory.
