Lionbridge is Added to the Russell 3000(R) Index

WALTHAM, Mass., June 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Lionbridge Technologies,
Inc. (Nasdaq: LIOX), today announced that its stock has been added to the
Russell 3000(R) Index effective following Russell Investments' annual
reconstitution of its comprehensive set of U.S. and global equity indexes on
Friday, June 26th.

Membership in the Russell 3000, 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. Russell determines membership for
its equity indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and
style attributes.

"Lionbridge's return to the prestigious Russell 3000 Index is yet another
example of the continued momentum of the Company," said Rory Cowan, CEO,
Lionbridge. "Our revenue seems to be strengthening after a challenging start
to the year. We are reducing our overhead costs to enhance profitability.
And our technology platform is leading to new market opportunities across our
businesses. As a result, we are well positioned to deliver solid financial
performance while maximizing value for customers, shareholders and employees."

The Russell 3000 also serves as the U.S. component to the Russell Global
Index, which Russell launched in 2007. Russell indexes are widely used by
investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as
benchmarks for investment strategies. An industry-leading $4 trillion in
assets currently are benchmarked to them. Total returns data for the Russell
3000 and other Russell Indexes is available at
