MORRISVILLE, N.C., June 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Liquidia Corporation (NASDAQ: LQDA) announced today that the company was added as a member of the US small-cap Russell 2000® Index, effective after the US market opens on June 27, as part of the 2022 Russell indexes reconstitution. Membership in the Russell 2000® Index, which remains in place for one year, is based on membership in the broad-market Russell 3000® Index. The stock also was automatically added to the appropriate growth and value indexes.

“Inclusion in the Russell indexes signals the positive momentum we have built over the last few years,” said Roger Jeffs, Chief Executive Officer of Liquidia. “We are pleased to increase our visibility within the institutional investment community as we prepare for the potential launch of our first product, YUTREPIA® (treprostinil) inhalation powder, upon final approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.”

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. Approximately $12 trillion in assets are benchmarked against Russell’s US indexes. Russell indexes are part of FTSE Russell, a leading global index provider.

About YUTREPIA™ (treprostinil) inhalation powder
YUTREPIA is an investigational, inhaled dry powder formulation of treprostinil delivered through a proven, convenient, palm-sized device.

YUTREPIA was designed using Liquidia’s PRINT® technology, which enables the development of drug particles that are precise and uniform in size, shape, and composition, and that are engineered for optimal deposition in the lung following oral inhalation. Liquidia has completed INSPIRE, or Investigation of the Safety and Pharmacology of Dry Powder Inhalation of Treprostinil, an open-label, multi-center phase 3 clinical study of YUTREPIA in patients diagnosed with PAH who are naïve to inhaled treprostinil or who are transitioning from Tyvaso (nebulized treprostinil).
