American CareSource Holdings Set to Join Russell Microcap(R) Index

DALLAS, TX announced today that it is set to join the Russell Microcap� Index when Russell Investments reconstitutes its family of U.S. indexes on June 27, 2008, according to a preliminary list of additions posted on June 13, 2008 on www.russell.com.

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.

David S. Boone, Chief Executive Officer of American CareSource, commented, "We are delighted that American CareSource will join the Russell Microcap Index. Our inclusion is a testament to the progress we have made both financially, with a trend of very strong quarterly results, as well as operationally, in positioning the Company as a premier ancillary care services provider. As part of the Russell Microcap Index, American CareSource should benefit from enhanced visibility among the investment community and, ultimately, a broader shareholder base."

Annual reconstitution of Russell's U.S. indexes captures the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks as of the end of May, ranking them by total market capitalization to create the Russell 3000� Index and the Russell Microcap Index. Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active investment strategies. An industry-leading $4.4 trillion in assets currently are benchmarked to them. These investment tools originated from Russell's multi-manager investment business in the early 1980s when the company saw the need for a more objective, market-driven set of benchmarks in order to evaluate outside investment strategies.
