Finjan Holdings Set to Join Russell Microcap Index
EAST PALO ALTO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/16/16 -- Finjan Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: FNJN), a cybersecurity company, today announced that, according to a preliminary list of additions posted on June 10, 2016, Finjan is set to join the Russell Microcap® Index at the conclusion of the Russell U.S. Indexes annual reconstitution on June 24, 2016 and effective after the U.S. market opens on June 27, 2016.
Membership in the Russell Microcap® Index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the appropriate growth and value style indexes. Russell determines membership for its equity indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.
"The heightened public awareness and visibility that the Russell Microcap Index offers compliments Finjan's recent accomplishments and near term catalysts," said Michael Noonan, Finjan's CFO. "Having recently settled with Proofpoint, successfully navigated through a number of IPRs and looking ahead to the upcoming Sophos trial in September, it has been an exciting few months at Finjan. We continue to focus on transparency and licensing best practices in order to deliver the greatest return to our shareholders."
Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. Approximately $6 trillion in assets are benchmarked against the Russell U.S. Indexes.
