5E Advanced Materials Announces Inclusion in the Russell 2000®, Russell 3000®, and Russell Microcap® Indexes
June 13 2022 - 08:30AM
GlobeNewswire Inc.
5E Advanced Materials, Inc. (Nasdaq: FEAM) (ASX: 5EA) (“5E,” “We,”
“Our,” or the “Company”) today announced that the Company’s FEAM
stock has been selected for inclusion in the Russell 2000® Index,
Russell 3000® Index, and Russell Microcap® Index effective after
the U.S. market opens on June 27, 2022.
Annual reconstitution of Russell U.S. indexes
captures the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks as of May 6, 2022, ranking
them by total market capitalization. Membership in the U.S. 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, a leading global index provider,
determines membership for its Russell indexes primarily by
objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.
Russell indexes are widely used by investment
managers and institutional investors for index funds and as
benchmarks for active investment strategies. Approximately US $12
trillion in assets are benchmarked against Russell U.S.
indexes.
Commenting on Inclusion in Russell
Indexes, President and CEO, Mr Henri Tausch noted:
“We are pleased that
5E has been selected for inclusion in the Russell indexes as they
represent some of the most widely cited indexes for U.S. companies.
This inclusion is an important milestone for the Company as it
increases our exposure to the broader investment community after a
successful listing on the Nasdaq in March 2022 while maintaining a
secondary listing on the ASX.
We look forward to
working with Russell benchmarked investment managers, that comprise
approximately US $12 trillion in assets, and hope to achieve other
index inclusions as we progress our vision to become a global
leader in critical materials – boron and lithium.”
About 5E Advanced Materials,
Inc.
5E Advanced Materials, Inc. (Nasdaq: FEAM) (ASX:
5EA) is an exploration stage company focused on becoming a
vertically integrated global leader and supplier of boron specialty
and advanced materials, complemented by lithium production
capabilities. Our mission is to become a supplier of these critical
materials to industries addressing global decarbonization, food
production, and domestic security. We anticipate boron and lithium
products will target applications in the fields of electric
transportation, clean energy infrastructure such as solar and wind
power, fertilizers, and domestic security. Our business strategy
and objectives are to develop capabilities ranging from upstream
extraction and product sales of boric acid, lithium carbonate and
potentially other co-products, to downstream boron advanced
material processing and development. Our business is based on our
large domestic boron and lithium resource, which is located in
Southern California and designated as Critical Infrastructure by
the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and
Infrastructure Security Agency, and we intend to leverage this
asset once commercially operational to internally supply our
proposed downstream advanced material development activities over
time.
