Arrowhead to Rejoin the Russell Microcap Index

Pasadena, CA | Posted on June 14th, 2010

"Being included in the Russell Index's reconstitution is a validation of the progress we have made over the last year. As we continue to execute on our growth strategy, we believe our membership will be a valuable tool to help raise our investment profile in the financial community," said Dr. Christopher Anzalone, Chief Executive Officer.

Russell Indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for both index funds and as benchmarks for passive and active investment strategies. The Russell Microcap Index comprises the smallest 1,000 securities in the Russell 2000® Index, plus the next 1,000 companies, based on a ranking of all U.S. equities by market capitalization. The Microcap Index was designed to offer managers and other investors a comprehensive, unbiased barometer to compare their performance against the genuine microcap marketplace of stocks.

The list of preliminary additions and deletions to the Russell Indexes can be found at: www.russell.com/indexes/membership/Reconstitution/Reconstitution_changes.aspx.
