   REPLOID plans acquisition of fertilizer plant in Bavaria

     • Advanced negotiations with two established fertilizer producers in
       Bavaria
     • First own industrial-scale production of organic and hybrid
       fertilizers
     • Supplying customers in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Czech Republic,
       and Italy
     • Continued expansion of the southern Germany cluster

    

   Wels, Austria – July 27, 2026 – REPLOID REGREEN GmbH (“REPLOID REGREEN”),
   a subsidiary of REPLOID Group AG (“REPLOID”), is in advanced negotiations
   with two established industry players to acquire a fertilizer plant in
   Bavaria, Germany. A decision in favor of one of the two producers is
   expected within the coming weeks. The acquisition would give REPLOID its
   first industrial-scale fertilizer production capacity, marking a key step
   in the company’s vertical integration – from organic residues from the
   food industry to marketable fertilizer products.

   Southern Germany as a core market

   Since the opening of the ReFarmUnit in Burghausen in March 2026, REPLOID
   has been steadily expanding its presence in southern Germany, particularly
   Bavaria. Together with regional partners, the company is actively driving
   the development of additional nearby sites. In REPLOID’s modular,
   decentralized, and highly automated insect-rearing plants (ReFarmUnits),
   Black Soldier Fly larvae convert residues from the regional food industry
   into insect protein, fat, and insect frass – the raw material for organic
   fertilizer production.

   The planned plant puts this location strategy into practice at industrial
   scale: insect frass will be processed right where it is generated. What
   the fertilizer industry typically organizes via supply chains stretching
   thousands of kilometers will be brought together into a regional,
   closed-loop system in southern Bavaria – without intermediaries and
   without long transport routes.

   A dedicated entity for the fertilizer business

   REPLOID has already established the organizational foundation for its
   fertilizer operations. Through REPLOID REGREEN GmbH, the Group bundles
   production, development, and sales of its fertilizer activities within a
   dedicated company. The Managing Director is Andreas Steinbüchler, formerly
   Chief Commercial Officer of LAT Nitrogen GmbH and President of the
   Fertilizers Europe Association.

   Andreas Steinbüchler, Director of Fertilizers at REPLOID Group AG and
   Managing Director of REPLOID REGREEN: “Europe’s nutrient supply is heavily
   dependent on imports whose prices no one here can influence. We are
   changing that with regional production – not as a niche, but at industrial
   scale. In Bavaria, we already have the feedstock and a ReFarmUnit in
   place, and the customers are right next door. A dedicated fertilizer plant
   is therefore the next logical step and we are moving on it quickly.”

   Two product lines, five markets

   REPLOID REGREEN plans to produce both organic fertilizers and hybrid
   fertilizers that combine organic nutrient carriers with mineral
   components. In addition to agriculture and (hobby) gardening, the company
   also targets professional green-space management: since July 2026, REPLOID
   REGREEN has been a partner of the Bavarian Football Association for
   organic fertilizers. From its Bavarian site, the company is ideally
   positioned to supply and serve customers in Austria, Germany, Switzerland,
   the Czech Republic, and Italy.

    

   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 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. This mix is 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. Food
   residues and unused food are utilized efficiently, helping to conserve key
   resources over the long term.

   REPLOID Group AG was founded in 2020 and is headquartered in Wels,
   Austria. The company 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.
