(NASDAQ: IEA) (IEA or the Company), a leading infrastructure construction company with renewable energy and specialty civil expertise, today announced that the Company is set to join the broad-market Russell 3000 Index as part of this years rebalance according to a preliminary list of additions posted on June 4, 2021. The change will become effective one week from today after the market opens on Monday, June 28, 2021.

IEA will be added to the Russell 2000 Index as well.

We are very pleased that IEA has been added to the Russell 3000 Index, said JP Roehm, IEAs President and Chief Executive Officer. We anticipate our addition to the index will create increased awareness of the Company and our stock across the investment community.
