This final step in ONAR's reverse merger journey sets the stage for ambitious growth, strategic acquisitions, and market expansion.
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Reliant Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: ONAR), a leading marketing technology company and network of marketing agencies, today announced that it has received approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to formally adopt its new corporate name and change its ticker symbol from RELT to ONAR. Effective immediately, these updates underscore the company's reverse merger completion, forward-looking vision, and commitment to accelerated growth in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
"This transformation marks a significant milestone for our organization," said Claude Zdanow, CEO of ONAR. "By unifying our identity under a single, modernized brand, we're better positioned to pursue our ambitious goals, drive innovation, and deliver exceptional results for our clients, partners, and investors."
A Unified Brand with a Bold Vision
The new corporate name and ticker symbol reflect ONAR's evolution following its reverse merger with Reliant Holdings, Inc. in 2024. This streamlined identity removes confusion and clarifies that ONAR's market presence aligns with its strategic mission: to offer state-of-the-art marketing solutions, blending AI-driven technology with human expertise to help businesses thrive in today's digital landscape.
Key Advantages of the Name Change & Finalization of the Rebrand

- Improved Brand Perception: By aligning the company's identity with its current strategy and market positioning, ONAR is confident this will enhance market visibility, improve brand perception, and signal its commitment to growth and innovation.
