INmune Bio Inc. to Join Russell 3000® Index

Boca Raton, Florida, May 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — INmune Bio Inc. (NASDAQ: INMB) (the “Company”), a clinical-stage inflammation and immunology company, is set to join the broad-market Russell 3000^® Index at the conclusion of the 2024 Russell US Indexes annual reconstitution, effective at the open of US equity markets on Monday, July 1^st, according to a preliminary list of additions posted Friday, May 24^th.

The annual Russell US Indexes reconstitution captures the 4,000 largest US stocks as of Tuesday, April 30^th, 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.

“We are thrilled to be included in the Russell 3000 Index,” said Dr. Raymond J. Tesi, CEO of INmune Bio. “This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team and underscores our commitment to advancing our innovative immunology and inflammation platforms in Early Alzheimer’s, treatment resistant depression and metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer. We believe that inclusion in the Russell 3000 Index will increase our visibility within the investment community and broaden our shareholder base.”

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. According to the data as of the end of December 2023, about $10.5 trillion in assets are benchmarked against the Russell US indexes, which belong to FTSE Russell, a prominent global index provider.

Fiona Bassett, CEO of FTSE Russell, An LSEG Business, comments, “Russell indexes–now in their 40th year–continue to evolve to reflect the dynamic US economy. Annual rebalancing plays a vital role in establishing accurate benchmarks, ensuring they correctly mirror their designated market segments and remain unbiased in terms of size and style.”
