Reliance Global Group Announces Reverse Stock Split

LAKEWOOD, N.J., June 26, 2024 — Reliance Global Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: RELI; RELIW) (“Reliance”, “we” or the “Company”) today announced that the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 1-for-17 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. 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 effectuate the Reverse Stock Split as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on June 28, 2024. The Common Stock will begin trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on a reverse split-adjusted basis at the start of trading on July 1, 2024, under the symbol “RELI” and under a new CUSIP number, 75946W 405.

Ezra Beyman, CEO of Reliance, remarked, “Reliance is proud to be a Nasdaq listed company and we know the actions being taken are important to our investors as they will help ensure continued compliance with Nasdaq listing rules. This is a pivotal time for Reliance as we complete the final steps to close what we anticipate will be a groundbreaking acquisition for our Company-the proposed acquisition of Spetner Associates in the second half of 2024. This acquisition, poised to be the largest in our history, is expected to double our annual revenues to approximately $28 million and significantly advance our goal of creating a highly profitable enterprise that provides substantial returns to our shareholders. We are highly optimistic about our future, remain steadfast in our commitment to our business strategy, and believe that the prospects for our Company are exceptionally promising.”

Upon implementation of the Reverse Stock Split, every 17 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 15.7 million shares to approximately 921,000 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.

Reliance Global Group Announces Major Enhancement of Capital Structure Following Cashless Exercise of Warrants

LAKEWOOD, N.J, June 20, 2024 — Reliance Global Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: RELI; RELIW) (“Reliance”, “we” or the “Company”) today announced that its final large institutional investor has redeemed all of its outstanding Series B and Series G warrants. The Company now effectively has a much more simplified capital structure with no known significant institutional warrant holders and no significant warrant overhang.

Ezra Beyman, CEO of Reliance, remarked, “We are pleased to report the elimination of all remaining Series B and Series G warrants, which converted into a reduced number of shares of Reliance common stock as a result of cashless exercises. No transaction incentives, such as additional shares or warrants, were required to effectuate the exercises. These transactions successfully complete the removal of the fairly significant warrant overhang, which we believe was negatively impacting our share price. As a result, the Company has only a nominal number of warrants outstanding, and all are plain vanilla (basic) warrant instruments. Importantly, we are confident that we now have a much more attractive, simpler, and significantly improved capital structure, which we believe will help us unlock tremendous value for our shareholders as we execute key upcoming initiatives in 2024 and beyond.”

Mr. Beyman concluded, “Most notably, we are making continued progress on our planned acquisition of Spetner Associates, which is projected to double our annualized revenues to an estimated $28 million and contribute very meaningful cash flow.”
