Quipt Home Medical Corp. (the “
Company”)
(NASDAQ:QIPT; TSXV:QIPT), a U.S. based home medical equipment
provider, focused on end-to-end respiratory care, is very pleased
to announce it is on a preliminary list dated May 19, 2023 issued
by FTSE Russell to join the Russell 2000
® and
3000
® Indexes at the conclusion of the 2023
Russell indexes annual reconstitution, effective after the U.S.
market opens on June 26, 2023. Updates are provided by the Russell
Microcap Index on May 26, June 2, June 9, June 16 and June 23.
Annual Russell indexes reconstitution captures
the 4,000 largest US stocks as of April 28, 2023, ranking them by
total market capitalization. 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.
“Being included in the Russell
2000® and 3000® Indexes would be
an affirmation of our strategic journey and a testament to the
relentless efforts of our team. We remain committed to delivering
sustained value to our shareholders and are thrilled by the idea of
being included with some of the most forward-thinking companies in
the United States, which we believe would considerably increase our
visibility and access to the worldwide investment community,”
commented Greg Crawford, CEO and Chairman of Quipt. “This inclusion
would truly reflect the substantial growth experienced by our
company and our evolution as a publicly traded company over the
last several years. We are extremely well positioned to continue
executing on our growth strategy, which has yielded robust and
consistent financial performance, and we look forward to providing
our shareholders with updates as we progress on our future
vision."

2000® and 3000® Indexes and the
