Corp., (NASDAQ: DTI) ("DTI" or the "Company"), a global oilfield
services company that designs, engineers, manufactures and provides
a differentiated, rental-focused offering of tools for use in
onshore and offshore horizontal and directional drilling

Indexes' 2024 Annual Reconstitution later this month. DTI is
expected to be added to these indexes after equity markets close on
June 28, 2024 and is expected to
begin trading as a component of these indexes when equity markets

Wayne Prejean, CEO of DTI,

widely tracked Russell indexes. This is an important milestone for
the Company and a testament to our strong foundation, resilient
business model and overall performance. As we approach our one-year
anniversary as a public company, this will provide DTI with
increased visibility and the opportunity to reach a broader set of
investment managers and institutional investors."
Each June, the Russell US index family is recalibrated to
accurately reflect the current state of the US equity market.
During this highly anticipated market event, breakpoints between
large, mid, small, and micro-cap are redefined to ensure market
changes over the last year are captured. Companies are also
re-evaluated to determine where they rank along the investment
styles spectrum.
Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and
institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for
active investment strategies. The Russell 2000 Index measures the
performance of the small-cap segment of U.S. equity markets and is
a subset of the Russell 2500 and 3000 indexes.
