AudioEye Joins Russell Microcap® Index

TUCSON, Ariz. – July 2, 2019— AudioEye, Inc. (NASDAQ: AEYE), a leading provider of digital accessibility solutions that provide barrier-free website access for individuals with disabilities, has joined the Russell Microcap® Index at the conclusion of the indexes’ annual reconstitution, effective after the U.S. market opened on July 1, according to the FTSE Russell website(opens in a new tab).

Membership in the Russell Microcap® Index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the appropriate growth and value style indexes. FTSE Russell determines membership for its Russell US Indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.

“Being added to the Russell Microcap® Index represents another milestone achievement for AudioEye,” said company Chief Executive Officer Todd Bankofier. “Most notably, we expect our inclusion in the index to bring added visibility for our company within the greater investment community, which will benefit new and existing shareholders, alike. As we continue to improve our profile as a public company, it is our belief, and goal, to generate greater awareness for the digital accessibility community as well.”

The Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. Approximately $9 trillion in assets are benchmarked against the Russell U.S. indexes. Russell indexes are part of FTSE Russell, a leading global index provider.
