OMAHA, NE - Jun 29, 2009 - Green Plains Renewable Energy, Inc (NGM:GPRE) joined the broad-market Russell 3000(R) Index upon Russell Investments reconstituting its comprehensive set of U.S. and global equity indexes 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 small-cap Russell 2000(R) Index. 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. Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active investment strategies.
