Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On January 7, 2026, Co-Diagnostics, Inc. (the “Company”) received written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) informing the Company that the Staff had determined to delist the Company’s common stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market due to the Company’s continued non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”). The Company plans to timely request a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel to address the bid price deficiency; however, the Company’s securities will be suspended from trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market effective at the open of trading on January 14, 2026, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a)(1)(B)(ii)(d), notwithstanding the hearing request. It is expected that the Company’s securities will trade on the Pink Limited Information tier of the OTC Market under its current trading symbol: “CODX.”
Importantly, the bid price for the Company’s common stock has closed at or above $1.00 per share since January 2, 2026, following its 1 for 30 reverse stock split, which was effective on January 2, 2026. In the event the Company evidences a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for the minimum 10-consecutive business day period ending January 15, 2026, the Company will seek a compliance determination from the Staff and cancelation of the hearing. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will regain compliance or that any such determination would affect the timing or implementation of the trading suspension described in the Notice.
By way of background, and as previously disclosed, on January 10, 2025, the Company was notified by Nasdaq that it did not satisfy the Rule because the bid price of the Company’s common stock had closed below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. The Company was provided with an initial 180-calendar-day compliance period, which expired on July 9, 2025, and was granted a second 180-calendar-day compliance period, which expired on January 5, 2026. Because the Company’s shares of common stock did not trade above $1.00 per share for 10 consecutive trading shares prior to January 5, 2026, the Company did not evidence compliance with the Rule, which in turn resulted in the Staff’s issuance of the Notice.
