Press Release

LOS ANGELES, June 23, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aadi Bioscience, Inc. (NASDAQ: AADI), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing precision therapies for genetically defined cancers with alterations in mTOR pathway genes, today announced it will join both the U.S. small cap Russell 2000® Index and broad-market Russell 3000^® Index at the conclusion of the 2022 Russell indexes annual reconstitution, effective immediately after the U.S. market opens on June 24, 2022 according to a preliminary list of additions posted by FTSE Russell on June 3, 2022.

“We are pleased to be included in the Russell U.S. Indexes as it reflects the progress we have made within our first year as a public company and elevates our visibility within the global investment community, benefiting both our Company and our shareholders,” said Neil Desai, PhD, Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of Aadi Bioscience. “We look forward to continuing to build on what we have achieved so far, including the approval and successful launch of FYARRO^™ as well as our kickoff of the tumor agnostic PRECISION 1 trial in patients with TSC1 or TSC2 alterations. We look forward to helping to meet the needs of patients as well as creating value for all stakeholders.”

The annual reconstitution of the Russell indexes captures the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks as of May 6, 2022, ranking them by total market capitalization. Membership in the U.S. all-cap Russell 3000^® Index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the small-cap Russell 2000^® Index, as well as the appropriate growth and value style indexes. FTSE Russell determines membership for its Russell indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.

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 Aadi Bioscience 

Aadi is a biopharmaceutical company focused on precision therapies for genetically defined cancers. Aadi’s primary goal is to bring transformational therapies to cancer patients with mTOR pathway driver alterations where other mTOR inhibitors have not or cannot be effectively exploited due to problems of pharmacology, effective drug delivery, safety, or effective targeting to the disease site. In November 2021, Aadi received FDA approval for FYARRO for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic malignant perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa), and in February 2022 Aadi announced the commercial launch of FYARRO in this indication.

Based on data from Aadi’s Phase 2 registrational study, AMPECT, with FYARRO, and, following discussions with the FDA about other emerging data with FYARRO, Aadi has initiated PRECISION 1, a Phase 2 tumor-agnostic registration-directed trial in mTOR inhibitor-naïve solid tumors harboring TSC1 or TSC2 inactivating alterations. More information on Aadi’s development pipeline is available on the Aadi website at www.aadibio.com and connect with us on Twitter and LinkedIn.
