Satcon Added to Russell 3000 Index
BOSTON - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Satcon (NASDAQ CM: SATC), a leading provider of utility scale
distributed power solutions for the renewable energy market, announced
today that it has been added to the Russell 3000 Index following the
Russell Investment Group's reconstitution of its family of U.S. indices
on June 26, 2009.
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. Membership in the Russell 3000, 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. Russell determines membership for its equity
indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style
attributes. The Russell 3000 also serves as the U.S. component to the
Russell Global Index, which Russell launched in 2007.
"We are very pleased to have been included in this year's reconstitution
of Russell Indexes as it will generate greater interest in our stock
among institutional investors," said Steve Rhoades, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Satcon. "The company has been very focused on
building shareholder value and driving performance of our renewable
energy solutions business, and inclusion in this credible global equity
index is a clear indication of our progress."
Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional
investors for index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active
investment strategies. Russell estimates that $4.4 trillion in assets
currently are benchmarked to their indexes. More information on the
Russell 3000 and other Russell Indexes is available at http://www.russell.com.
