Chyron Added to the Russell Microcap Index

  
    
  
  
    
      Chyron (AMEX: CGS), a leading provider of digital video graphics 
      solutions for On Air, Online, Out of Home and Mobile applications, today 
      announced that it has been selected for inclusion in the Russell 
      Microcap Index, according to the preliminary list of additions issued by 
      the Russell Investment Group on June 13, 2008. The Company will 
      officially be a member of the index when it is reconstituted on June 30, 
      2008.
    
    
      Annual reconstitution of Russell’s U.S. 
      indices captures the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks as of the end of May, 
      ranking them by total market capitalization. Russell determines 
      membership for its equity indices primarily by objective 
      market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.
    
    
      Michael Wellesley-Wesley, Chyron President and CEO commented, “The 
      addition to the Russell Microcap Index is a significant achievement for 
      Chyron, and is representative of the growth we have experienced over the 
      past several years. We believe that the exposure gained from our listing 
      will boost our ongoing efforts to bring the Chyron story to a wider 
      audience of institutional investors.”
    
    
      Russell indices are widely used by investment managers and institutional 
      investors for index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active 
      investment strategies. An industry-leading $4.4 trillion in assets 
      currently are benchmarked to them. These investment tools originated 
      from Russell’s multi-manager investment 
      business in the early 1980s when the company saw the need for a more 
      objective, market-driven set of benchmarks in order to evaluate outside 
      investment managers.
    
    
      In addition, Chyron was included in Fortune Small Business’ 
      (‘FSB’) list of the 
      100 fastest growing companies in the United States. Chyron ranked number 
      58 overall and number 3 in New York. The editors of FSB analyze 
      companies with annual revenues of less than $200 million and share price 
      of greater than $1, on a yearly basis, and rank them based on earnings 
      per share, revenues and stock performance over the past three years.
    
    
      "To be recognized by Fortune as one of the fastest growing small 
      companies in America is an honor," Wellesley-Wesley stated. “We 
      have worked diligently in recent years to establish Chyron as the 
      leading brand in digital graphics solutions both On Air and Online, and 
      this recognition exemplifies the progress we have made to date in 
      expanding our brand across these content creation industries.”
