Puma Biotechnology to Join Russell 3000 Index

Puma Biotechnology, Inc. (NASDAQ: PBYI), a biopharmaceutical company, is set to join the broad-market Russell 3000® Index at the conclusion of Russell Investments’ annual reconstitution of its comprehensive set of U.S. and global equity indexes on June 28 and effective after U.S. markets open on July 1, according to a preliminary list of additions posted on May 24.

“We are very pleased to be included in the widely referenced Russell Indexes,” said Alan H. Auerbach, Chief Executive Officer and President of Puma Biotechnology. “We believe that inclusion in the Russell 3000 will benefit our stockholders by increasing liquidity and providing exposure to a broader base of institutional investors.”

Reconstitution of Russell’s U.S. Indexes captures the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks as of the end of April, ranking them by total market capitalization. Membership in the Russell 3000, which remains in place for one year, 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.

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. Over $10 trillion in assets are benchmarked against Russell’s U.S. Indexes. Russell indexes are part of FTSE Russell, a leading global index provider.

About Puma Biotechnology

Puma Biotechnology, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company with a focus on the development and commercialization of innovative products to enhance cancer care. Puma in-licensed the global development and commercialization rights to PB272 (neratinib, oral) in 2011. Neratinib, oral was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2017 for the extended adjuvant treatment of adult patients with early stage HER2-overexpressed/amplified breast cancer, following adjuvant trastuzumab-based therapy, and is marketed in the United States as NERLYNX® (neratinib) tablets. In February 2020, NERLYNX was also approved by the FDA in combination with capecitabine for the treatment of adult patients with advanced or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who have received two or more prior anti-HER2-based regimens in the metastatic setting. NERLYNX was granted marketing authorization by the European Commission in 2018 for the extended adjuvant treatment of adult patients with early stage hormone receptor-positive HER2-overexpressed/amplified breast cancer and who are less than one year from completion of prior adjuvant trastuzumab-based therapy. NERLYNX® is a registered trademark of Puma Biotechnology, Inc.

In September 2022, Puma entered into an exclusive license agreement for the development and commercialization of the anti-cancer drug alisertib, a selective, small molecule, orally administered inhibitor of aurora kinase A. Initially, Puma intends to focus the development of alisertib on the treatment of small cell lung cancer and breast cancer. In February 2024, Puma initiated ALISCA-Lung 1, a Phase II clinical trial of alisertib monotherapy for the treatment of patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.
