Jun 25, 2007 8:00:00 AM

TARRYTOWN, N.Y., June 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On2 Technologies, Inc., (Amex: ONT), a leader in video-compression software and solutions, announced today that it joined the Russell 3000(TM) Index on June 22, when Russell Investment Group reconstituted its family of U.S. indexes.

Membership in the broad-market Russell 3000, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in additional Russell Indexes. Russell determines membership for its equity indexes primarily by objective, market capitalization rankings and style attributes.

"We are pleased to join the Russell Indexes, which reflects in part our stock appreciation resulting from initiatives over the past year," said Bill Joll, president and CEO of On2. "Our inclusion in the Russell 3000 should increase On2's visibility with investors and institutions that rely on the Russell indexes as part of their investment strategy."

Annual reconstitution of the Russell indexes captures the 3,000 largest U.S. stocks as of the end of May, ranking them by total market capitalization to create the Russell 3000. The Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active investment strategies. Investment managers who oversee these funds purchase shares of member stocks according to that company's weighting in the particular index. An industry-leading $4 trillion in assets currently are benchmarked to them.
