Quantum Computing Inc. Set to Join Russell 2000® and Russell 3000® Indexes

HOBOKEN, N.J., May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Computing Inc. ("QCi" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: QUBT), an innovative, integrated photonics and quantum optics technology company, today announced that it is set to join the broad-market Russell 3000^® Index and the small-cap Russell 2000^® Index at the conclusion of the Russell indexes annual reconstitution, effective after the US market opens on June 30, 2025, according to a preliminary list of additions posted Friday, May 23, 2025.

The broad-market Russell 3000 Index includes the largest 3,000 U.S. public companies by market capitalization. The Russell 2000 Index is a subset of the broader Russell 3000 Index limited to small-cap companies. The indexes are reconstituted annually by re-ranking companies based on total market capitalization as of the reconstitution rank date, which was April 30, 2025 this year. Index membership remains in place for one year and results in automatic inclusion in the relevant growth and value style indexes.  FTSE Russell determines membership for its Russell indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.

Chris Boehmler, Chief Financial Officer of QCi, commented, "We're pleased to announce the inclusion of QCi in the Russell 3000® and Russell 2000® Indexes, marking a meaningful milestone in our growth. This inclusion expands our visibility among a broader pool of institutional investors and index funds and reflects the progress we've made in strengthening our financial foundation while advancing quantum technologies with real-world applications."

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 2024, about $10.6 trillion in assets are benchmarked against the Russell US indexes, which belong to FTSE Russell, the global index provider.
