QUINCY, Calif., June 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plumas Bancorp (Nasdaq: PLBC), the parent company of Plumas Bank, announced today that Plumas Bancorp (“Company”) has been included in the Russell 2000 Index by FTSE Russell. The announcement was made after the U.S. stock market closed on June 26, 2020.
Director, President, and Chief Executive Officer, Andrew J. Ryback, commented, “Inclusion in the Russell 2000 Index is further recognition of the performance and growth of our Company. We have worked diligently to create value for our shareholders, and we believe our inclusion in the index represents a great opportunity to continue to do so by increasing our visibility and exposure to the investment community.”
