   HEROSAN is one of the leading providers of animal welfare-friendly pet
   nutrition in the DACH region, offering a meat-free alternative to
   conventional pet food through insect protein and mushrooms. The recipes
   were developed in close collaboration with veterinarians specifically for
   pets with allergies and intolerances.

   Cornelia Pint, Co-Founder of HEROSAN: "Too many dogs and cats suffer
   silently from allergies and intolerances. We saw it firsthand in every
   conversation with vets and pet owners. So we built something fundamentally
   different: nutrition based on insects and mushrooms instead of
   conventional meat. A 4.8-star rating and our strong footing in the
   veterinary networks tell us one thing clearly – pet owners are ready for
   this shift, and HEROSAN is leading it."

   Since REPLOID's initial investment in fall 2025, revenue grew 64% to €2.3
   million in the first half of 2026. Backed by REPLOID's infrastructure,
   HEROSAN also significantly expanded its sales activities in Switzerland
   and Italy.

   Philip Pauer, CEO and founder of REPLOID: "By raising our stake from 34%
   to over 50%, we're sending a clear signal: HEROSAN proves that our insect
   protein and the mushroom mycelium from our subsidiary Vitus pay off –
   industrially and commercially."

   The bond carries a fixed annual interest rate of 9.0% with a five-year
   duration, with interest and principal repaid in semi-annual installments.
   Proceeds will fund the company's continued growth – specifically product
   development, marketing, and e-commerce.

   Daniel Taurer, Co-Founder of HEROSAN: "With the capital raised through
   this campaign, we're accelerating our internationalization and
   specifically expanding our web shop and ERP system."

   After the campaign closes, investors will receive tiered discounts at the
   HEROSAN online shop, valid through March 31, 2027:

     • 15% for bondholders starting at one bond
     • 20% starting at ten bonds
     • 30% starting at 28 bonds

   Full investment details and risk disclosures are available on the campaign
   page.

   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.
