NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE MKT:NNVC) (the "Company"), reports that NanoViricides, Inc. is in the preliminary list for addition to the Russell Global, Russell 3000, Russell 2000, and Russell Microcap Indexes when Russell Investments (“Russell”) reconstitutes its U.S. and global equity indexes on June 27, 2014. The preliminary additions and deletions for the Russell Global, Russell 3000® and Russell Microcap® Indexes were listed on the Russell website on Friday, June 13, 2014, after the U.S. stock market closed (http://www.russell.com/indexes/americas/tools-resources/reconstitution/additions-deletions.page). Russell will provide further updates on Friday, June 20 and 27. The newly reconstituted Russell indexes will take effect after the US stock market close on Friday, June 27.

The most popular of these indexes is called the Russell 2000, a small-cap index, in existence for over 30 years. According to the Russell website, it “has been widely adopted by both institutional and retail investors for measuring performance of the small cap U.S. equity market, due to its accurate, comprehensive methodology”. The Russell 2000 is a part of the Russell 3000 that additionally includes the Russell 1000 companies. The latter is an index of the 1000 largest publicly-traded companies. More information about the Russell family of indexes can be found at http://www.russell.com.

The Company believes that this addition to Russell indexes is very significant in that it will give NanoViricides much greater visibility in the financial community. The Company has been informed that JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank investment banks have recently published reports that state an estimated total of 3,378,000 shares of NNVC could be purchased in the near term by various index-based funds, if the Company is added to the Russell indexes in their final June 2014 annual reconstitution.
