Reliance Global Group Reports 72% Increase in Health Insurance Policies Written Through RELI Exchange During 2025 Open Enrollment

Policy growth reflects strong execution and expanding distribution across RELI Exchange platform

Broker network expanded from approximately 65 to approximately 300 since acquisition in 2022

LAKEWOOD, NJ, Jan. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reliance Global Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:EZRA) (the "Company") today announced strong operating momentum across its insurance operations, highlighted by a significant year-over-year increase in health insurance policies written through its RELI Exchange, LLC subsidiary during the 2025 open enrollment period.

During the 2025 open enrollment period, health insurance policies written through RELI Exchange's Altruis Health office increased to approximately 3,873 policies, compared to approximately 2,258 policies during the 2024 open enrollment period, representing an increase of approximately 72% year over year. The Company believes this growth reflects improved execution, deeper carrier relationships, and the continued scaling of its insurance distribution platform.

The increase in policy production further demonstrates the scalability of RELI Exchange as the business continues to expand its distribution footprint. Since acquiring RELI Exchange in 2022, Reliance has grown its broker network from approximately 65 agency partners to approximately 300 agency partners, with growth driven organically, significantly increasing reach while supporting higher volumes of policy production across its platform.

The strength and cash-generating nature of RELI Exchange also supports the Company's broader strategic initiatives through EZRA International Group ("EZRA"), which was established to pursue controlling investments in high-growth, technology-driven businesses. Since launching EZRA, the Company has announced its first planned acquisition of a controlling interest in a company developing non-invasive, breath-based diagnostic technologies, as well as a subsequent term sheet to acquire a controlling interest in a post-quantum cybersecurity technology company. These initiatives reflect a disciplined approach to building a portfolio of transformative technology assets supported by the Company's insurance operations.

"Insurance is the foundation of this Company, and the results we are seeing at RELI Exchange demonstrate the scalability of our platform," said Ezra Beyman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Reliance Global Group. "A 72% increase in health insurance policies written during the most recent open enrollment period reflects our ability to expand distribution, deepen carrier relationships, and execute effectively, driven by organic growth at RELI Exchange. This operating momentum strengthens the foundation of our insurance business and supports our continued efforts to build EZRA as a long-term growth engine."
