GlobalSCAPE, Inc. (NYSE Amex: GSB), a leading developer of secure information exchange solutions, announced today that it has joined the Russell Microcap® Index. The company became a member of the Russell Investments family of U.S. indexes upon their official reconstitution, made effective as of the market open today.

Membership in the Russell Microcap Index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the appropriate growth and value style indexes. Russell determines membership for its equity indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.

“Inclusion in the Russell Index could benefit our shareholders by increasing the visibility and awareness of GlobalSCAPE with institutional investors and the broader investment community,” said Jim Morris, GlobalSCAPE president and CEO. “We also may see a longer-term increase in typical trading volume when investment funds that track the index add GlobalSCAPE shares to their portfolios.”

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 assets currently are benchmarked to them.

Annual reconstitution of Russell Indexes captures the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks as of the end of May, ranking them by total market capitalization to create the Russell 3000 Index and Russell Microcap. 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.

GlobalSCAPE develops and distributes software and hosted solutions, including services, for business customers to securely exchange information over the Internet and within their networks. The company's products are used worldwide across a wide range of industries, including government organizations, and in some of the largest corporations in the world, including 95 of the Fortune 100. GlobalSCAPE solutions facilitate delivery of critical information such as financial data, medical records, customer files and similar data documents while supporting information protection approaches to meet privacy, security, and compliance requirements.
