Taminco Corporation to Join Russell 3000® and Russell Global Indexes

ALLENTOWN, Pa., July 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Taminco Corporation (NYSE: TAM) today announced that it joined the broad-market Russell 3000® and Russell Global Indexes following the Russell Investments reconstitution of its comprehensive set of U.S. and global equity indexes after the U.S. markets closed on June 28, according to a list of additions posted on www.russell.com/indexes.  

Annual reconstitution of Russell's U.S. indexes captures the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks as of the end of May, ranking them by total market capitalization. Membership in the Russell 3000® means automatic inclusion in the large-cap Russell 1000® Index or small-cap Russell 2000® Index as well as the appropriate growth and value style indexes.  The Russell 3000® also serves as the U.S. component to the Russell Global Index, which Russell launched in 2007.

"We are pleased with Taminco's addition to the Russell Indexes," CEO, Laurent Lenoir commented.  "We look forward to the opportunity to increase awareness about Taminco and to continue to expand our shareholder base following our IPO in April on the New York Stock Exchange."

Membership in the Russell Indexes remains in place for one year.   Russell determines membership for its equity 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 both passive and active investment strategies. Approximately $4.1 trillion in assets are benchmarked to the Russell Indexes.
