REPLOID Group AG (ISIN: AT0000A3HRX5) announced plans to split its shares at a ratio of 1:15, a move designed to make the stock more accessible to a broader range of investors. The company will submit a corresponding resolution to the Annual General Meeting on 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, a price point that may deter smaller retail investors. By splitting the stock, the price per share would drop to approximately 113 euros, making it easier for individual investors to purchase and trade the stock. Philip Pauer, CEO and founder of REPLOID, emphasized the strategic importance of this move: "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."
As a precondition for the stock split, the Annual General Meeting is expected to approve an increase in share capital from company funds, without issuing new shares. The share capital is to be increased from the current EUR 110,881 to EUR 1,663,215. This will be achieved by converting a portion of the unrestricted capital reserves, which were built up from the equity increase during the 2025 fiscal year.
The stock split reflects REPLOID's commitment to enhancing shareholder value and broadening its investor base. The company, which specializes in the industrial utilization of organic residues from the food industry, has seen significant growth since its listing on the Vienna Stock Exchange's direct market plus segment in July 2025. The company builds and services modular, scalable insect-rearing plants, known as REPLOID ReFarmUnits, where Black Soldier Fly larvae are fed a site-specific mix developed from regional food residues. Customers can use the larvae and by-products themselves, or REPLOID takes them back for centralized marketing or further processing.
REPLOID's innovative approach to circular economy solutions has positioned it as a key player in sustainable resource management. The company's decentralized upcycling model provides an economically attractive solution for food waste, helping to conserve resources. With a global focus and a team of over 190 employees, REPLOID continues to expand its operations and market presence.
The proposed stock split is a clear signal of the company's confidence in its future growth prospects and its desire to make its shares more accessible to a wider audience. By lowering the entry price for investors, REPLOID aims to increase liquidity and trading activity in its stock, potentially attracting more institutional and retail interest. The resolution will be put to shareholders at the upcoming Annual General Meeting, and if approved, the stock split will take effect, marking a significant milestone in the company's corporate development.
