FriendFinder Networks Inc. Added to Russell 2000 Index

SUNNYVALE, Calif. July 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — FriendFinder Networks Inc. (FFN)(NasdaqGM: FFN), a leading internet and technology company providing services in the rapidly expanding markets of social networking and web-based video sharing, today announced it has been added to the Russell 2000(R) Index and Russell 3000(R)( )Index when Russell Investments reconstituted its comprehensive set of U.S. and global equity indexes on June 24, 2011.

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for both index funds and as benchmarks for passive and active investment strategies. FriendFinder Networks Inc. will hold its membership at least until Russell reconstitutes its indexes in June 2012.

After successfully completing our Initial Public Offering in May, we are excited about our inclusion in the Russell 2000 and Russell 3000, noted Marc H. Bell, President and CEO of FriendFinder Networks Inc. In addition to our own efforts to raise our profile with the investment community, we believe that being added to this well-regarded index will expand our appeal to a broader institutional audience.

The Russell 3000 also serves as the U.S. component to the Russell Global Index, which Russell launched in 2007.

The annual reconstitution of the Russell 3000 captures the 3,000 largest U.S. stocks as of the end of May, ranking them by total market capitalization. The largest 1,000 companies in this ranking comprise the Russell 1000 and the next 2,000 companies become the Russell 2000.
