MaxCyte Set to Join Russell 2000® Index
GAITHERSBURG, MD, September 16, 2021 - MaxCyte, Inc., (NASDAQ: MXCT; LSE: MXCT, MXCN), a leading commercial cell-engineering company focused on providing enabling platform technologies to advance innovative cell-based research as well as next-generation cell therapeutic discovery, development and commercialization, today announced that it is set to join the Russell 3000® and Russell 2000® indices, effective after the U.S. market opens on September 20, 2021, according to a preliminary list of quarterly IPO additions posted earlier this month by FTSE Russell.
Membership in the US all-cap Russell 3000® Index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the large-cap Russell 1000® Index or small-cap Russell 2000® Index as well as the appropriate growth and value style indexes. FTSE Russell determines membership for its Russell indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings, and style attributes.
"The addition of MaxCyte to the Russell indices highlights our strong financial profile and marks a milestone in our progress towards being the premier cell engineering platform technology," said Doug Doerfler, President and Chief Executive Officer of MaxCyte. "Our inclusion follows the successful closing of our Nasdaq IPO in August and elevates the overall awareness of our stock amongst the investment community."
