CPI Card Group Inc. (Nasdaq: PMTS) (“CPI” or the “Company”), a payment technology company providing a range of credit, debit, and prepaid solutions, complementary digital solutions, and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) instant issuance, is set to join the broad-market Russell 3000^® Index at the conclusion of the 2023 Russell indexes annual reconstitution, effective after the U.S. market opens on June 26, according to a preliminary list of additions posted May 19.

“As a top payment solutions provider in the U.S. serving thousands of banks, credit unions and fintechs, we are pleased to join the Russell 3000 Index,” said Jeff Hochstadt, Chief Financial Officer of CPI. “Inclusion in the Russell 3000 Index is an important milestone for CPI and further demonstrates our focus on growing market share by providing innovative products, end-to-end solutions, and market-leading quality and customer service.”

Annual Russell indexes reconstitution captures the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks as of April 28, ranking them by total market capitalization. Membership in the U.S. 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.

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. Approximately $12.1 trillion in assets are benchmarked against Russell’s U.S. Indexes. Russell indexes are part of FTSE Russell, a leading global index provider.
