X-Rite Added to Russell 2000 and 3000 Indices

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.--(Business Wire)--
X-Rite, Incorporated (NASDAQ: XRIT) today announced that it has been added to
the Russell 2000® and Russell 3000® Indices effective after the market close on
June 26, 2009.

Annual reconstitution of Russell`s U.S. indexes captures the 4,000 largest U.S.
stocks as of the end of May, ranking them by total market capitalization.
Membership in the Russell 3000, which remains in place for one year, means
automatic inclusion in the large-cap Russell 1000® Index or 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.

Bradley J. Freiburger, Interim Chief Financial Officer for X-Rite, said, "We are
very pleased with the Company's inclusion in these widely-recognized indices.
This should provide greater stock visibility among the investment community and
create new opportunities to promote our Company, its products, and future growth
opportunities."

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional
investors for index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active
investment strategies. Total returns data for the Russell 3000 and other Russell
Indexes is available at http://www.russell.com/Indexes/performance/default.asp.
