BOSTON, MA – July 1, 2014 — InspireMD Inc.(NYSE MKT: NSPR) ("InspireMD" or the "Company"), a leader in embolic protection systems, today announced that it has been selected to join the Russell MicrocapIndex, as of June 27, 2014.

Membership in the Russell Microcap Index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the appropriate growth and value style indexes. Russell determines membership for its equity indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.

"We hope that our presence in the Russell Microcap index will increase awareness of our company within the investor community," said Alan Milinazzo, InspireMD CEO. "We intend to accomplish a number of important milestones over the coming months. These include ramping MGuard Prime selling activities, completing enrollment in our CGuard CARENET trial and finalizing our approval to restart MASTER II clinical activities. We welcome the increased investor attention at such an important and exciting time for the Company."

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. Russell calculates more than 700,000 benchmarks daily covering approximately 98 percent of the investable market globally, 80 countries and more than 10,000 securities. Approximately $5.2 trillion in assets are benchmarked to the Russell Indexes.

Annual reconstitution of Russell Indexes captures the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks as of the end of May, ranking them by total market capitalization to create the Russell 3000Ò Index and Russell Microcap Index. These investment tools originated from Russell's multi-manager investment business in the early 1980s when the company saw the need for a more objective, market-driven set of benchmarks in order to evaluate outside investment managers.
