TOKYO, June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TOYO Co., Ltd (Nasdaq: TOYO) (OTC: TOYWF), ("TOYO" or the "Company"), a solar manufacturing company, today announced that it has been added to the broad-market Russell 3000^® Index and the Russell Microcap^® Index at the conclusion of the 2026 Russell US Indexes Reconstitution, effective at the US market close on June 26, 2026.

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies.

"As we execute on our phased U.S. solar manufacturing strategy — including our Houston module facility, targeted to reach 2GW of annual capacity in 2026, and our planned 1.5 GW HJT solar cell facility underway— we believe this expanded institutional profile will support our ability to access capital markets and build long-term shareholder value. We thank our investors for their continued confidence in TOYO's mission."
