LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In a release issued earlier today by Creative Realities (NASDAQ:CREX), please note that the company will be added to the Russell Microcap® Index, not the Russell 3000® Index. The corrected release follows:

Creative Realities added to membership of Russell Microcap® Index

Creative Realities, Inc. ("Creative Realities," "CRI," or the "Company") (NASDAQ:CREX), a leading provider of digital signage, media and AdTech solutions, today announced that it will be added to the Russell Microcap® Index effective when the US market opens on June 29, 2026, as part of the Russell indexes reconstitution.

The June reconstitution captures up to the 4,000 largest US stocks as of April 30, ranked by total market capitalization. FTSE Russell determines membership for its Russell indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.

"We're very pleased to announce that, concurrent with the integration of CDM, a strong growth outlook, and our improving market cap, we've been selected to be included in the Russell Microcap® Index," said Rick Mills, Chief Executive Officer. "This designation should broaden our base of institutional investors during an exciting and transformative year. We look forward to demonstrating value creation through our unique technology platforms to reward our existing shareholders and entice new investors to share our passion about the business and interest in our future."

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. According to data as of the end of June 2025, about $12.2 trillion in assets are benchmarked against the Russell US indexes, which belong to FTSE Russell, the global index provider.
