Pioneer Power Set to Join Russell Microcap® Index

Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: PPSI) ("Pioneer Power" or the "Company"), a company engaged in the manufacture, sale and service of electrical transmission, distribution and on-site power generation equipment, is set to join the Russell Microcap® Index at the conclusion of the 2021 Russell indexes annual reconstitution effective after the US market opens on June 28, according to a preliminary list of additions posted June 4.

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 indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.

Nathan Mazurek, Pioneer Power’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Inclusion in the broadly referenced Russell index will bring us increased exposure to a larger audience of potential new investors. We look forward to communicating with them about our new strategic direction. Specifically, we are focusing our product and services towards speeding installation of EV charging facilities. Most sites for charging are existing structures that may not have the specialized power infrastructure for easy installation of vehicle charging stations. This is a rapidly evolving industry, and we believe our PowerBloc product and other power equipment solutions can ease the move to EV. We are eager to do our part in the move towards a zero-carbon future.”

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. Approximately $10.6 trillion in assets are benchmarked against Russell’s US indexes. Russell indexes are part of FTSE Russell, a leading global index provider.
