LAKEWOOD, NJ, May 18, 2020 — via NEWMEDIAWIRE Reliance Global Group, Inc. (OTCQB: RELI) (“RELI” or the “Company”) today announced the appointment of David Lazar as an independent member of the Company’s Board of Directors. As a result, the Board of Directors has increased to 5 members, including 3 independent directors, thereby meeting the independence requirements for a national exchange.
Mr. Lazar brings domestic and international experience in operations, accounting, audit preparation, due diligence, capital restructuring, debt financing, and mergers and acquisitions. Mr. Lazar is currently the CEO of both Custodian Ventures LLC & Activist Investing LLC, which specialize in reverse merger and other event-driven opportunities.
Ezra Beyman, CEO of Reliance Global Group, stated, “We are delighted to welcome David to the Board. He brings broad experience in public company management, having served as CEO of several OTC companies, providing them successful exit strategies. David’s skills in corporate finance and capital markets will be valuable as we enter the next phase of growth, including our acquisition strategy focused on undervalued insurance agencies that we can streamline and accelerate through our digital insurance platform powered by Nsure.com. We also continue to opportunistically pursue acquisitions in the multi-family real estate market where we see increased opportunities due to the current market. Importantly, as we continue to identify and evaluate distressed or undervalued acquisition opportunities his background working with such companies will be valuable. Additionally, we believe having an independent director of David’s caliber will assist us in achieving a listing on a senior national exchange, and help us to maintain the highest levels of corporate governance.”
Mr. Lazar commented, “I am excited to join Reliance at this exciting time in the Company’s evolution. The insurance agency market has historically been resilient and less prone to volatility, while the current market uncertainty also presents attractive acquisition opportunities within both the insurance and real estate sectors. As a result of Reliance’s unique position in the market, I have been involved in a variety of strategic discussions with Nasdaq and NYSE companies that could potentially help accelerate the Company’s path to listing on a national exchange; however, we can provide no assurance such a transaction will occur. I look forward to working closely with management to support the Company’s capital markets plan and strategic direction going forward.”

LAKEWOOD, NJ, April 27, 2020 — via NEWMEDIAWIRE Reliance Global Group, Inc. (OTCQB: RELI) (“Reliance” or the “Company”), today announced that its strategic partner Nsure.com, America’s first licensed digital insurance agency®, has received a license to operate and sell insurance in the state of Texas. As previously announced in February, Reliance invested $1 million into Nsure.com, representing the first in a series of planned investments, expected to total $20 million, at which time, Reliance Global Group would own 35% of Nsure.com with an option to acquire an additional 5%, bringing the total to 40% of Nsure.com.
Nsure.com is a licensed online insurance agency that utilizes state of the art digital technology and represents over 40 top-rated insurance companies. Nsure.com’s mission is to empower insurance consumers by helping them choose the best carriers and policies. Nsure.com has a recurring revenue model that includes annual commissions on all policies and renewals. Nsure.com currently operates within the state of Florida with plans to expand nationwide.
Ezra Beyman, CEO of Reliance Global Group, stated, “I’d like to congratulate Nsure.com on receiving their insurance license in Texas, which allows them to operate and sell insurance across the state. As more commerce moves online, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, Nsure.com is ideally positioned within the insurance market. Nsure.com helps consumers see, from the comfort of their home or office, exact comparisons among multiple insurers, calculate their average savings for their policy needs, and help them feel confident they are getting the correct level of insurance for their home or auto. By utilizing Nsure.com’s proprietary backend processing technology to support our traditional agency business, we also believe we can dramatically reduce costs among our bricks and mortar agencies, and allow our agents to focus on selling new policies, creating a digitally empowered and scalable insurance agency model.”
Mr. Beyman continued, “Clearly, these activities do not detract from our focus on the real estate front, as evidenced by our recent appointment of key personnel, or our strategy to acquire independent insurance agencies. In fact, we believe these strategies are highly synergistic and are ideally suited for growth in any market environment. Towards that end, we are seeing particularly attractive opportunities in the real estate market that have not been available in past years, which we look to capitalize on in the near future.”
Wojtek Gudaszewski, CEO of Nsure.com, commented, “Thanks to the investment and partnership with Reliance, we are rapidly entering new markets, expanding our participating insurance carriers, and adding personnel to support our growth. Currently, the US personal home and auto insurance market is valued at approximately $340 billion in annual premiums and more than $34 billion in recurring annual insurance agency commissions. We estimate that a mere 10% of the market is now online. Now that we are licensed in Texas, we look forward to establishing our presence within the state, with near-term plans to enter additional markets. Our goal remains to rapidly establish a nationwide footprint, in order to position Nsure.com as the premier nationwide provider of online insurance.”
RELI also reported that it is very close to completing its audit, at which time it plans to file the form 10-K with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission.

LAKEWOOD, NJ, March 19, 2020 — via NEWMEDIAWIRE — Reliance Global Group, Inc. (OTCQB: RELI) (“RELI” or the “Company”)today reported that in light of the current situation, the Company’s CEO, Mr. Ezra Beyman, has announced plans to personally fund employees to purchase the Company’s common shares in the open market through a cash gift. The program will allow for up to a maximum of 1,000,000 shares to be purchased by employees under the guidelines of the Program.
Ezra Beyman, CEO of Reliance Global Group, stated, “The global health concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic are real and we urge all Americans to follow necessary precautions. As previously announced, we are taking our own steps to protect employees and ensure business continuity. Nevertheless, business goes on and I am more encouraged than ever by the outlook for Reliance. I am especially grateful for the hard work and dedication of our employees during these challenging times. For this reason, I’m pleased to personally fund our employees to purchase up to 1 million of the Company’s shares.
“Overall, we are extremely well positioned given the diversification of our business model. The current market may present unique real estate opportunities within a more favorable interest rate environment. Given this landscape, we are well positioned to take advantage of opportunities in the marketplace as they arise. At the same time, we have our focus as well within the insurance sector, and given the fact we own agencies versus carriers, these businesses tend to be well insulated during periods of market volatility. Moreover, through our partnership with Nsure.com, we can significantly enhance the efficiency of our bricks-and-mortar agencies, as well as benefit from more favorable multiples as we evaluate future acquisition opportunities. Our alignment with Nsure.com will also allow us to participate in the tremendous inherent upside as more of the insurance industry moves online. I strongly believe this is an industry ripe for disruption, just like hundreds of industries before, such as online shopping. I encourage everyone to exercise prudence and caution during these difficult times, but don’t lose sight of the ingenuity and resilience of the American people.”
