Wins Finance Holdings Inc., the Chinese loan guarantor that rode a mysterious 4,500 percent surge in its stock, is poised to be ousted from the Russell 2000 Index for failing to meet new requirements for inclusion.

“The impact within the Russell U.S. Index is currently isolated to the projected removal of Wins Finance Holdings,” FTSE Russell said in an April 3 statement, after Bloomberg News reported on the mysterious gain in Wins shares. The company may be moved to the Russell Global Index, with FTSE Russell making the final decision ahead of its annual June index reshuffling.
