SurgePays Selected to Join Russell Microcap Index

BARTLETT, Tenn., June 15, 2022 – SurgePays, Inc. (Nasdaq: SURG) (“SurgePays” or the “Company”), a technology and telecommunications company focused on the underbanked and underserved, was selected to join the Russell Microcap® Index at the conclusion of the 2022 Russell indexes annual reconstitution. The selection will become effective after the U.S. market closes on June 24, 2022, according to a preliminary list of additions posted June 6, 2022.

Membership in the Russell Microcap® Index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the appropriate growth and value style indexes. It includes companies that are considered more growth oriented relative to the overall market as defined by Russell's leading style methodology.

“Our inclusion in the Russell Microcap® Index reflects a lot of hard work and determination on the part of the SurgePays team, combined with our substantial growth expectations in both the near and long term,” stated Brian Cox, CEO of SurgePays, Inc. “Joining the Nasdaq exchange in the fourth quarter of 2021 brought our Company visibility on Wall Street. I think being on a short list of companies added to the Russell Microcap index is clear evidence of successful execution in a booming market segment while hitting significant growth milestones. Joining the Russell Microcap® Index will hopefully contribute to our momentum in the market.”
