STROUDSBURG, Pa. -- ESSA Bancorp, Inc. [NASDAQ Global Market(SM): ESSA] today announced it has been added to the Russell Microcap([R]) Index after the Russell Investment Group reconstituted its comprehensive set of U.S. and global equity indexes on June 22.

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active investment strategies. The Company will hold its membership until Russell reconstitutes its indexes in June 2008.

"We are pleased with our inclusion in this index, which reflects our continued positive momentum," said ESSA President & CEO Gary S. Olson.

The 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. The Russell Microcap comprises the lower half of these 4,000 stocks.

ESSA Bank & Trust, a subsidiary of ESSA Bancorp, Inc., has total assets of over $800 million and is the leading service-oriented financial institution in the greater Pocono region. The bank maintains corporate headquarters in downtown Stroudsburg and 13 community offices throughout the Pocono area. In addition to being one of the region's largest mortgage lenders, ESSA offers a full range of retail and commercial financial services. ESSA Bancorp stock trades on The NASDAQ Global Market(SM) under the symbol ESSA.
