Membership in the Russell 3000, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the 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.

"Lionbridge's return to the prestigious Russell 3000 Index is yet another example of the continued momentum of the Company," said Rory Cowan, CEO, Lionbridge. "Our revenue seems to be strengthening after a challenging start to the year. We are reducing our overhead costs to enhance profitability. And our technology platform is leading to new market opportunities across our businesses. As a result, we are well positioned to deliver solid financial performance while maximizing value for customers, shareholders and employees."

The Russell 3000 also serves as the U.S. component to the Russell Global Index, which Russell launched in 2007. Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for investment strategies. An industry- leading $4 trillion in assets currently are benchmarked to them.
