CORPORATE NEWS
REPLOID Group AG pursues entry in the US market and secures exclusivity to
conduct due diligence for the potential acquisition of Chapul, LLC.
Wels, Austria – November 10, 2026 – REPLOID Group AG („REPLOID“) today
entered into a non-binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) regarding the
potential acquisition of 100% of Chapul, LLC (“CHAPUL”), a US-based insect
farming company. CHAPUL is one of the two leading companies in the United
States that design, build and operate insect farms and convert organic
waste into animal feed and fertilizer.
The Term Sheet provides for a 90-day exclusivity period to complete due
diligence. The potential consideration for the acquisition is
approximately $12 million, expected to be paid through a combination of
newly issued REPLOID shares, cash and warrants.
Philip Pauer, CEO and Founder of REPLOID, commented: “North America is
strategic growth market for REPLOID. The acquisition would therefore
represent a milestone in the Company’s growth trajectory.”
Closing of the transaction is subject to, among other things, satisfactory
completion of due diligence and various board approvals.
About REPLOID Group AG
REPLOID offers an innovative system for recovering locally sourced organic
byproducts from the food industry on an industrial scale.
The Group deploys and services modular, scalable plants (ReFarmUnits) for
its customers, particularly in the industrial and agricultural sectors. In
these plants, Black Soldier Fly larvae process organic residual materials
(bioconversion). The larvae are fed a feed mix tailored to the specific
site. Based on the Group’s own research and development, this feed mix is
formulated from residual materials from the regional food value chain.
After one week, the larvae have completed their work and increased to
approximately 25 times their original weight. Customers either use the
larvae and/or their by-products themselves, or REPLOID takes them over for
central marketing or further processing.
REPLOID markets the larvae either directly or after further processing,
for example to customers in the animal-feed industry. The Company is
driving the vertical integration of its value chain and also markets its
own animal feed. REPLOID produces premium organic fertilizer from the
by-products of the recovery process (insect frass).
With decentralized upcycling on an industrial scale, REPLOID also offers
an economically attractive solution for the circular economy. Food
residues and unused food are utilized efficiently, sustainably conserving
key resources.
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 200 people.
