New York, New York – Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP (www.kaplanfox.com) has filed a class action suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Co-Diagnostics, Inc. (“Co-Dx” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CODX); Dwight H. Egan, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board; and Brian L. Brown, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Secretary (“Defendants”).

The Complaint alleges that Defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the SEC, and is brought by plaintiff on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased the publicly traded securities of Co-Dx during the period May 12, 2022 through the close of the market on August 11, 2022 (4:00 p.m. ET), inclusive (the “Class Period”).

The Complaint alleges that on April 6, 2020, Co-Dx announced that it had received an Emergency Use Authorization for its Logix Smart™ COVID-19 detection test from the Food and Drug Administration, allowing it to commence sales of the test to laboratories certified by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services under the Clinical Laboratories Improvements Act (“CLIA”) to accept human samples for diagnostics testing throughout the United States.

The Complaint further alleges that during the Class Period, Defendants repeatedly touted its Logix Smart™ COVID-19 Test, reassuring investors about the demand for the product.  At the same time, Defendants failed to disclose that: (1) demand for its Logix Smart™ COVID-19 Test had plummeted throughout the quarter ended June 30, 2022, and (2) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the demand for its Logix Smart™ COVID-19 Test lacked a reasonable basis.

On August 11, 2022, Co-Dx shocked investors when, after the market closed, the Company issued a press release and filed a report with the SEC on Form 8-K that disclosed its financial results for the quarter and June 30, 2022, in which the Company disclosed revenue of $5.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, down from $27.4 million during the prior year period, a decline of almost 82%.  The Company primarily attributed the decrease to lower demand of the Logix Smart™ COVID-19 Test.

On this news, the price of Co-Dx’s common stock declined $1.98, or 30.65%, from a closing price of $6.46 per share on August 11, 2022, to close at $4.48 per share on August 12, 2022. 

Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of the proposed Class and is represented by Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP (www.kaplanfox.com).  Our firm, with offices in New York, Oakland, California, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New Jersey, has decades of experience in prosecuting investor class actions and actions involving violations of the Federal securities laws.

Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the court will generally appoint the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the proposed class who is also a typical and adequate representative of the proposed class.  Any investor who purchased or acquired Co-Dx securities during the Class Period may seek appointment as lead plaintiff.  The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the lawsuit.
