The approval of Proposal 3, which adds 14 million shares to the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan, represents a potential dilution of approximately 66% relative to the current outstanding shares. This substantial increase in available shares for compensation or future grants could significantly impact per-share value. Furthermore, Proposal 4's approval to issue shares beyond the Nasdaq Exchange Cap under an existing purchase agreement removes a key hurdle for the company to raise additional capital, likely through further dilutive offerings. For a micro-cap company like Reliance Global Group, these approvals signal a high likelihood of substantial future dilution, which could pressure the stock price.
