SEC.gov | Request Rate Threshold Exceeded

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

You’ve Exceeded the SEC’s Traffic Limit

Your request rate has exceeded the SEC’s maximum allowable requests per second. Your access to SEC.gov will be limited for 10 minutes.

Current guidelines limit each user to a total of no more than 10 requests per second, regardless of the number of machines used to submit requests. To ensure that SEC.gov remains available to all users, we reserve the right to block IP addresses that submit excessive requests.

The block will be lifted automatically by waiting 10 minutes. Continuing to exceed the SEC’s maximum allowable request rate during the time-out period will extend the duration of the time-out period. To ensure fair access for all users, please reduce the rate of your requests and visit SEC.gov again after the 10 minute time-out period has passed.

Internet Security Policy

By using this site, you are agreeing to security monitoring and auditing. For security purposes, and to ensure that the public service remains available to users, this government computer system employs programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information or to otherwise cause damage, including attempts to deny service to users.

Unauthorized attempts to upload information and/or change information on any portion of this site are strictly prohibited and are subject to prosecution under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 and the National Information Infrastructure Protection Act of 1996 (see Title 18 U.S.C. §§ 1001 and 1030).

To ensure our website performs well for all users, the SEC monitors the frequency of requests for SEC.gov content to ensure automated searches do not impact the ability of others to access SEC.gov content. We reserve the right to block IP addresses that submit excessive requests. Current guidelines limit users to a total of no more than 10 requests per second, regardless of the number of machines used to submit requests.

If a user or application submits more than 10 requests per second, further requests from the IP address(es) may be limited for a brief period. Once the rate of requests has dropped below the threshold for 10 minutes, the user may resume accessing content on SEC.gov. This SEC practice is designed to limit excessive automated searches on SEC.gov and is not intended or expected to impact individuals browsing the SEC.gov website.

Note that this policy may change as the SEC manages SEC.gov to ensure that the website performs efficiently and remains available to all users.

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On October 22, 2025, Reliance, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.  Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of the Company’s press release dated October 22, 2025 announcing the Company’s financial results for this period.

The information contained in this report and the exhibit hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On October 21, 2025, the independent directors of the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company adopted and approved an Executive Severance Policy (the “Policy”) for employees of the Company who are appointed as officers by the Board and certain key employees of the Company’s subsidiaries (collectively, the “Covered Employees”).

The Policy provides for the payment of severance and other benefits to Covered Employees in the event of a termination of employment by the Company without cause, as defined in the Policy (a “Qualifying Termination”). The Policy is not intended to amend or modify any other benefit contained in any individual agreements between the Company and any Covered Employee, including the terms of any equity awards.

In the event of a Qualifying Termination, and subject to the Covered Employee’s execution of a general release and waiver of claims against the Company, the Policy provides for the following payments to Covered Employees:

• A lump sum cash payment equal to the product of the Covered Employee’s monthly base salary in effect as of date of termination multiplied by 12 (or, if the Covered Employee has been employed for fewer than 12 months, an amount equal to the monthly base salary multiplied by the number of months employed);

• A lump sum cash payment equal to: (i) a pro-rata portion of the Covered Employee’s annual bonus for the year in which the Qualifying Termination occurs, based on the Company’s year-to-date performance through the full month prior to the date of termination, plus (ii) an amount equal to 50% of the Covered Employee’s target annual bonus (unless the Covered Employee has been employed for less than 12 months, in which case they are not eligible for such payment); and

• A lump sum payment equal to the cost of up to 12 months of COBRA premiums for the Covered Employee and his
