ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct 4, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Domino's Pizza, Inc. (NYSE: DPZ), the recognized world leader in pizza delivery, acknowledged its inclusion into the Russell 2000 and 3000 Indexes, effective September 30, 2004.

Russell, one of the world's leading investment services firms, announced that they will now add initial public offerings on a quarterly basis in order to enhance how well each index reflects its segment of the U.S. equity market. Previously, IPOs were added only as part of Russell's annual index reconstitution process each May. Domino's Pizza completed its initial public offering on July 13, 2004, and was the largest IPO in restaurant history.

Membership in Russell's 21 U.S. equity indexes is determined primarily by market capitalization ranking and style attributes. Russell indexes are widely used by managers of index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active investment strategies. Annual reconstitution of these indexes captures the 3,000 largest U.S. stocks, with the largest 1,000 companies compromising the Russell 1000 and the remaining 2,000 companies becoming a part of the widely-used Russell 2000. More than $360 billion is invested in index funds based on Russell's indexes and an additional $1.8 trillion is benchmarked to them. Investment managers who oversee these funds purchase shares of member stocks according to that company's weighing in the particular index.

David A. Brandon, Chairman and CEO of Domino's Pizza, said, "We're pleased about the added investment community awareness our inclusion in these indexes will bring, as well as the associated benefits of an expanded shareholder base."
