8x8, Inc., provider of innovative business communications and cloud computing solutions, is set to join the U.S. broad-market Russell 3000® Index when Russell Investments reconstitutes its comprehensive set of U.S. and global equity indexes on June 24, according to a preliminary list of additions posted June 10 on www.russell.com/indexes .

"The inclusion of 8x8 in the Russell 3000 Index will expose our company's stock and our innovative innovation to a wider audience of investors, ultimately benefiting our shareholders," commented 8x8 Chairman & CEO Bryan Martin.

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active investment strategies. An industry-leading $3.9 trillion in institutional assets currently are benchmarked to them. These investment tools originated from Russell's multi-manager investment business in the early 1980s when the company saw the need for a more objective, market-driven set of benchmarks in order to evaluate outside investment managers.
