LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / June 25, 2021 / Cinedigm Corp. (NASDAQ: CIDM) 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 4th.

"Cinedigm's addition to the index validates our streaming business growth over the last year and has the potential to enhance awareness with a broader set of institutional investors and further increase our stock's liquidity," said Chris McGurk Chairman and CEO of Cinedigm.
Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies.
