Microbot Medical® Added to the Russell Microcap® Index
Automatic inclusion in the appropriate growth and value style indexes
HINGHAM, Mass., June 30, 2025 — Microbot Medical Inc. (Nasdaq: MBOT), developer of the innovative LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic System, announced that it was added as a member of the Russell Microcap® Index. Microbot Medical’s addition will be effective today when the U.S. equity markets open.
“Inclusion in the Russell Microcap® Index marks another important milestone for Microbot Medical. It reflects the strong execution of our team and the momentum we have built, including our ongoing interaction with the FDA on our 510(k) submission for LIBERTY,” commented Harel Gadot, Chairman, CEO and President. “As we continue to prepare for our anticipated Q3 launch, we are focused on strengthening our operational and commercial infrastructure to ensure success. Being in the index, and the appropriate growth and value style indexes, enhances our visibility at a pivotal time, and we look forward to continued progress in the months ahead.”
The annual Russell US Indexes reconstitution captures the 4,000 largest US stocks as of Wednesday, April 30th, ranking them by total market capitalization. Membership in the Russell Microcap® Index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the appropriate growth and value style indexes. FTSE Russell determines membership for its Russell indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.
Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. Russell’s US indexes serve as the benchmark for about $10.6 trillion in assets as of the close of June 2024. Russell indexes are part of FTSE Russell, the global index provider.
LIBERTY is an investigational device pending FDA 510(k) clearance, and is currently not available for sale in the U.S.
