AD HOC ANNOUNCEMENT
REPLOID Group AG plans to increase free float and prepares transition to
the prime market segment of the Vienna Stock Exchange
• Change of listing and trading on the Vienna Stock Exchange
• Fall 2026: Continuous trading on the Vienna MTF, direct market
plus segment
• Summer 2027: Transition to the regulated market, prime market
• Increase in free float through planned capital increase in kind and/or
convertible bond
Wels, August 28, 2026
The shares of REPLOID Group AG (ISIN: AT0000A3HRX5) are listed on the
Vienna MTF in the direct market plus segment and are traded in a
once-daily auction. To improve the tradability of the shares, the Annual
General Meeting on September 14, 2026 is to resolve a stock split, under
which one share will be split into 15 shares.
Change of listing and trading on the Vienna Stock Exchange
The Executive Board of REPLOID Group AG („REPLOID“) also resolved today to
prepare a transition of the share to official trading, prime market
segment, of the Vienna Stock Exchange in summer 2027. This technical
up-listing requires the introduction of group reporting under IFRS. The
first IFRS consolidated financial statements will be prepared for fiscal
year 2026. This increases the Group’s transparency, particularly as
individual business segments were organized into separate subsidiaries
during the current year (for example, the fertilizer business in REPLOID
REGREEN GmbH).
As a short-term measure, the company expects to move the share from
auction trading to continuous trading on the direct market plus as early
as October 2026.
Increase in free float through planned capital increase in kind and/or
convertible bond
To boost the liquidity of the share even before a transition to the prime
market segment of the Vienna Stock Exchange, REPLOID plans to increase
free float in the medium term through capital increases. This is intended
to go hand in hand with financing further growth steps through convertible
bonds and/or capital increases in kind. The latter, in particular, will
allow REPLOID to issue shares as transaction currency for corporate
acquisitions. In recent months, management has held discussions with
numerous potential acquisition targets. The most likely candidates are
acquisitions of competitors and of stakes in companies along the value
chain, particularly in the pet food industry. For the issuance of
convertible bonds, REPLOID plans to make use of the authorization proposed
under Agenda Items 9 and 10 of the upcoming Annual General Meeting.
An initial public offering of REPLOID shares, i.e., an IPO, is planned for
the coming years.
