Reliance Global Group Completes Strategic Sale of its EBS / USBA Business Unit

Proceeds allocated to debt rationalization program and reinvestment – improvement in financial flexibility intended to accelerate new programs

LAKEWOOD, NJ, Dec. 29, 2025 — Reliance Global Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: RELI) (the “Company”) today announced that it has finalized the sale of two of its subsidiaries, Employee Benefits Solutions, LLC and U.S and Benefits Alliance, LLC (together, “EBS”), two non-core agencies located in Cadillac, Michigan. The successful transaction is part of a comprehensive balance sheet rationalization program, intended to enhance the Company’s ability to execute on new initiatives.

Overall, the Company has been engaged in a strategy to focus efforts on areas that the Company believes will produce better outcomes. Since acquiring U.S. Benefits Alliance, LLC and Employee Benefits Solutions, LLC in 2019, Reliance has selectively integrated portions of the businesses that aligned with its long-term, technology-forward strategy into its core RELI Exchange platform. The transaction reflects the sale of only the remaining non-core components of those businesses, while the strategic elements previously integrated into Reliance’s core operations remain part of the Company’s ongoing growth initiatives. The Company will use 50% of the net proceeds to reduce debt and the balance will be reinvested in strategic business initiatives.

“Successfully completing this transaction is an important step in our overall strategy to focus capital and efforts toward the areas that the Company has identified to potentially produce the best return on investment,” stated Ezra Beyman, CEO of Reliance Global Group. “While EBS has been a reliable asset, the Company has identified opportunities in areas that it believes to potentially hold greater returns for shareholders. The result, which is a strengthening of our balance sheet, increases our investment capacity and ability to act on higher return opportunities that present themselves to the Company.”

Joel Markovits, the Company’s CFO added, “Combined with the debt reduction from this transaction, during 2025, we’ve been able to reduce our long-term debt by approximately $6 million, or more than 50%, and with the balance of the proceeds after debt reduction going toward reinvestment in our core platforms, RELI Exchange and 5minuteinsure.com, the Company anticipates greater scaling and an enhancement in our competitive position.”

LAKEWOOD, NJ, Dec. 11, 2025 — Reliance Global Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: RELI) (“Reliance,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) today announced that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent to sell its two subsidiaries, U.S. Benefits Alliance, LLC and Employee Benefits Solutions, LLC (together, “EBS”), two non-core agencies located in Cadillac, Michigan.

“The agreement to sell our EBS/USBA business unit marks a key step forward in our ongoing transformation into a technology-first wholesale insurance organization,” commented Ezra Beyman, Chairman and CEO of Reliance Global Group. “This transaction will allow us to monetize a non-core asset while sharpening our focus on the segments that offer what we believe are the greatest long-term opportunities for scale, profitability, and differentiation.

Reliance Global Group (RELI) Adds to Zcash (ZEC) Position, and Continues Implementing Its Institutional ZEC Adoption Strategy

Additional Cash Deployment Demonstrates Confidence in Zcash’s Privacy-Enabled Architecture, Which the Company Believes Is Well-Suited for Institutional Use

LAKEWOOD, NJ, Dec. 08, 2025 — Reliance Global Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: RELI) (“Reliance”, “we” or the “Company”) today announced that it has deployed additional cash to increase its Zcash (ZEC) position. This additional allocation to the Company’s Digital Asset Treasury (“DAT”) reflects the Company’s internal view that ZEC may be an institutionally adaptable and technologically resilient privacy-enabled digital asset and may play a meaningful role in its long-term treasury strategy.

Zcash’s dual architecture which combines transparent auditability with optional privacy in the Company’s view supports its appeal to organizations seeking digital assets that can be implemented for regulated environments. Reliance’s decision to add to its position reflects the Company’s view that ZEC is supported by technology and a use-case-driven foundation that it believes aligns with long-term treasury and risk management objectives.

“Our increased allocation to Zcash stems from our continued analysis of how privacy-enabled digital assets fit within a modern treasury framework,” said Moshe Fishman, Director of Insurtech at Reliance and a member of the Company’s Crypto Advisory Board. “In our analysis, ZEC stands out to us because it combines optional transparency with a privacy model that is both deliberate and operationally practical. We believe it can provide institutions with flexibility while remaining compatible with robust governance and compliance requirements, and that balance is a key reason we chose to build on our existing position.”

“As digital assets mature, we expect the market to place greater emphasis on tools that balance confidentiality with compliance, we believe Zcash is positioned at that intersection,” said Ezra Beyman, Chairman and CEO of Reliance Global Group. “Adding to our position is a measured, strategic decision that demonstrates our belief in ZEC’s long-term relevance. We see privacy as an essential component of modern financial infrastructure, not an optional enhancement, and ZEC is one of the networks we have evaluated that we believe approaches this challenge with real technical depth.”

Forward-looking statements are often identified by words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” “potential,” and similar expressions and include, without limitation, statements regarding: (i) our expectation that deploying additional cash to increase our Zcash (ZEC) position and actively managing that position may support our long-term Digital Asset Treasury strategy and, over time, shareholder value; (ii) our belief that Zcash’s technology, including its privacy-preserving features and selective disclosure capabilities, may provide resilience and growth potential for our treasury portfolio; (iii) our expectation that our governance, custody, risk management and compliance processes will enable responsible management of ZEC and other digital assets, if any, within a public-company framework; (iv) our belief that our participation in the Zcash ecosystem, and in blockchain initiatives more broadly, may position Reliance to benefit as institutional and commercial adoption evolves; and (v) other statements regarding our future financial and operating performance, business strategy, digital asset and blockchain initiatives, capital allocation priorities and execution.

Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated due to risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation: volatility, illiquidity or declines in cryptocurrency markets generally and in the market for ZEC in particular; the concentration of our Digital Asset Treasury in a single digital asset; operational, custody, cybersecurity and other technological risks associated with acquiring, holding and transferring digital assets; changes in laws, regulations, accounting standards or enforcement priorities (including with respect to privacy-preserving cryptocurrencies, anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance) that adversely affect digital asset holdings, Zcash or blockchain initiatives; challenges integrating blockchain technologies, including Zcash, with our businesses; competitive pressures from Insurtech, blockchain or digital-asset market participants; risks associated with our Digital Asset Treasury strategy, including the risk that our increased ZEC allocation does not achieve its intended objectives; and other risks described under “Risk Factors” in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (as amended), our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.
