Genelux Corporation Set to Join the Russell 3000® and Russell 2000® Indexes Effective June 26, 2023

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., June 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Genelux Corporation (NASDAQ: GNLX), a late clinical-stage immuno-oncology company, today announced that it will be added to the broad-market Russell 3000® Index and small-cap Russell 2000® at the conclusion of the 2023 Russell indexes annual reconstitution, effective after the U.S. equity markets open on June 26, 2023 according to a preliminary list of additions.

Every year FTSE Russell conducts updates to its various indexes based on total market capitalization and style attributes. Membership in the U.S. all-cap Russell 3000 Index remains in place for one year and means automatic inclusion in the appropriate growth and value style indexes, which is the small-cap Russell 2000 Index for Genelux. The 2023 index showed noteworthy growth in the health care industry, with a majority of the companies moving from small-cap to large-cap coming from the health care space.

“Our inclusion in these Russell indexes is a reflection of not just the market's recognition of our recent clinical successes, but also the potential that lies within Olvi-Vec” said Thomas Zindrick, President, CEO and Chairman of Genelux. “Our inclusion among larger market cap companies should help to increase investor awareness, expand institutional ownership, and provide additional liquidity in our stock.”

For further information on the Russell 2000® Index and the Russell indexes reconstitution, please find the “Russell Reconstitution” section on the FTSE Russell website.
