   Salzburg-based Alimentastic brings international brands into European
   retail. The company acts as a bridge between product manufacturers on the
   one hand and food retailers, specialty retailers, and wholesalers on the
   other. Alimentastic covers the entire value chain: from product
   development and market launch to distribution and logistics, as well as
   marketing and sales strategies. In this way, the company ensures that
   products are placed in retail and successfully established in the market.

   REPLOID offers a solution for processing organic residues from the food
   industry into valuable new raw materials. The company pursues a strategy
   of vertical integration. The goal is to build a resilient value chain and
   deepen its market expertise – on both the processing and the sales side.
   With the brands "Schnauze & Co" (dog food) and Vitus Vitality (organic
   gourmet mushrooms such as king oyster and shiitake), REPLOID already has
   established consumer product brands. In addition, Alimentastic will drive
   the development and distribution of further REPLOID brands and white-label
   products based on REPLOID raw materials.

   Laurenz Hoffmann remains Managing Director and 23% owner of Alimentastic.
   He is also responsible for global marketing across the REPLOID Group and
   the worldwide distribution of REPLOID's consumer products. Laurenz
   Hoffmann brings extensive retail and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG)
   experience: After seven years in purchasing at Hofer KG, the business
   administration graduate moved to ALDI SÜD, where he also headed global
   purchasing. Following a managing director position at Kaufland Stiftung &
   Co. KG, Laurenz Hoffmann took on the role of CEO at dean&david smart food
   GmbH. He has been Managing Director of Alimentastic since 2023.

    

   Philip Pauer, CEO and founder of REPLOID: "Our stake in Alimentastic gives
   us both stronger access to the retail market and valuable market
   expertise. With Laurenz Hoffmann, an experienced manager in the FMCG
   sector is now responsible for group-wide marketing and the sales
   activities for our consumer products."

   Laurenz Hoffmann, Managing Director of Alimentastic: "REPLOID is on an
   impressive growth trajectory. I look forward to supporting this
   development on the marketing side and positioning REPLOID's innovative
   products for success in retail."

    

   About REPLOID Group AG

   REPLOID offers an innovative system for the industrial utilization of
   regional organic residues from the food industry.

   The company builds and services modular, scalable insect rearing
   facilities for its customers – the REPLOID ReFarmUnits. Young Black
   Soldier Fly larvae supplied by REPLOID receive a feed mix tailored to each
   site, formulated on the basis of the company’s own research and
   development using residues from the regional food value chain. After
   rearing, customers either use the larvae and/or their by-products
   themselves, or REPLOID takes them over for centralized marketing or
   further processing.

   REPLOID sells the reared larvae either directly or processed into proteins
   and fats, for example to buyers in the animal feed industry. From the
   by-products of insect rearing (insect frass), the company produces premium
   organic fertilizer.

   Through decentralized upcycling at industrial scale, REPLOID also delivers
   an economically attractive solution for the circular economy. Food
   residues and unused foodstuffs are efficiently utilized, conserving key
   resources in a sustainable way.

   REPLOID Group AG was founded in 2020 and is headquartered in Wels,
   Austria. The company operates globally and has been listed on the Vienna
   Stock Exchange in the direct market plus segment since July 2025 (ticker:
   HRX5). The Group employs more than 190 people.
