Hawthorn Bancshares joins Russell 3000® and Russell 2000® Indexes in FTSE Russell’s 2025 Reconstitution

Jefferson City, Mo., June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: HWBK), (the “Company”), the bank holding company for Hawthorn Bank, is pleased to announce they met the criteria for inclusion in the broad-market Russell 3000® Index (the “Russell 3000”) and the small-cap Russell 2000® Index (the “Russell 2000”) at the conclusion of the Russell indexes’ reconstitution. The inclusion is effective today with the opening of the U.S. market.

Inclusion in the Russell 2000, which is maintained for one year, is based on inclusion in the broader Russell 3000. The Company’s common stock will be automatically added to the appropriate growth and value indexes.

The Russell 3000 is comprised of the largest 3,000 U.S. public companies by market capitalization. The Russell 2000 is a subset of the Russell 3000 that is limited to small-cap companies. The indexes are reconstituted by ranking companies based on total market capitalization as of the reconstitution rank date. Index membership results in automatic inclusion in the relevant growth and value style indexes.

“We are pleased to join these key market indexes,” said Brent M. Giles, Director and CEO of Hawthorn Bancshares, Inc. “Our inclusion in the Russell 3000 and the Russell 2000 is representative of our growth and progress over the past few years. We believe the recognition enhances our visibility in the broader investment community and serves as validation of our ability to drive value to our shareholders.”

The Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. According to the data as of the end of June 2024, about $10.6 trillion in assets are benchmarked against the Russell US indexes, which belong to FTSE Russell, the global index provider.
