Reliance Global Group Announces 1-for-15 Reverse Stock Split

LAKEWOOD, N.J., Feb. 22, 2023 — Reliance Global Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: RELI; RELIW) (“Reliance”, “we” or the “Company”), which combines artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud-based technologies with the personalized experience of a traditional insurance agency, today announced that on February 7, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 1-for-15 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) in order to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (Rule 5550(a)(2)). The Company was not required to obtain shareholder approval to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split. On February 22, 2023, the Company filed articles of amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida to effect the Reverse Stock Split as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that date. On February 23, 2023, the Common Stock will begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) on a split-adjusted basis at the start of trading on February 23, 2023, under the symbol “RELI” and under a new CUSIP number, 75946W306.

Ezra Beyman, CEO of Reliance Global Group, commented, “Maintaining our Nasdaq listing is of utmost importance, as it offers credibility, visibility and a platform to support our growth objectives. We believe having a higher price will also help make our stock more attractive to institutional investors and brokers, who may previously have been restricted in their ability to invest or recommend our stock due to the share price. In addition, by reducing the number of shares available in the public float, we aim to combat unethical and illegal trades, such as naked short selling.”

“Despite the tough overall market conditions, especially in the small-cap sector, we remain fully committed to maximizing shareholder value and are extremely optimistic about the future of our business. We are highly encouraged by the rapid growth of the number of independent agents joining our business-to-business InsurTech platform, RELI Exchange, from 65 to 176 independent agents, representing a growth rate of 170%, since May 2022. Our commitment to executing on our business plan has not wavered, and we believe the outlook for the business is extremely bright.”

Upon implementation of the Reverse Stock Split, every 15 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock will automatically convert into one share of Common Stock without any change to the par value of $0.086 per share and the amount of Common Stock outstanding will be reduced from approximately 20 million shares to approximately 1.3 million shares. Following the Reverse Stock Split, the ownership percentage of each shareholder will remain unchanged. Proportional adjustments will be made to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants, and other incentive awards, as well as the applicable exercise price.
