Uproar Inc. Announces Inclusion in Russell 2000 Index8 August 2000NEW YORK--(Press Release)--Aug. 8, 2000--Uproar Inc. (Nasdaq/EASDAQ: UPRO), producer of uproar.com, a leading online entertainment destination, today announced that Uproar has been added to the Russell 2000® Index, a leading investment ranking of small-cap stocks compiled by the Frank Russell Company. Uproar was added in the annual reconstitution of the Russell indexes. Membership in Russell's 21 US equity indexes, which are widely used as benchmarks for investment strategies, is determined by market capitalization and style attributes rather than by subjective opinion or committee. ``We are honored to be listed in the Russell 2000 Index,'' said Kenneth Cron, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. ``Uproar is a company to watch, and I believe membership in the Russell 2000 Index will heighten our visibility in the market. Our inclusion in the Index also represents a validation of online entertainment as an increasingly important investment category.'' The Russell 2000 Index measures the performance of the smaller two-thirds of the companies included in the Russell 3000 Index, which captures the 3,000 largest US stocks and ranks them by market capitalization. |
