Item
1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On
February 10, 2020, Co-Diagnostics, Inc. (the “ Company” ) entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (the “ Purchase
Agreement ”) with certain institutional investors (the “ Investors ”) for the sale by the Company of
3,324,676 shares (the “ Common Shares ”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the
“ Common Stock ”), at a purchase price of $3.08 per share in a registered direct offering. The aggregate gross
proceeds for the sale of the Common Shares is expected to be approximately $10.24 million. The closing of the offering is expected
to occur on or about February 13, 2020, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

H.C.
Wainwright & Co. LLC, is acting as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the offering. The Company has agreed
to pay the placement agent an aggregate fee equal to 5.6% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale
of the securities in the offering. The Company also agreed to pay the placement agent $17,100 for non-accountable
expenses and $12,900 for clearing expenses.

The
net proceeds to the Company from the offering, after deducting the placement agent’s fees and offering expenses,
are expected to be approximately $9,493,201. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for acquisition of
PCR (polymerase chain reaction) equipment to be used in connection with sales of reagents used for tests to diagnose infectious
disease, including strains and mutations of coronavirus, as well as research and development costs associated with test development
for additional pathogens and test menu expansion, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The
Common Shares sold in the offering were offered and sold by the Company pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement
on Form S-3, that was originally filed on August 14, 2018 and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“ SEC ”)
on September 7, 2018, and the base prospectus contained therein (File No. 333-226835) (the “ Registration Statement ”).
The Company will file a final prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus with the SEC in connection with the sale of
the securities.

The
representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties
to the Purchase Agreement. In addition, such representations, warranties and covenants (i) are intended as a way of allocating
the risk between the parties to the Purchase Agreement and not as statements of fact, and (ii) may apply standards of materiality
in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by stockholders of, or other investors in, the Company. Accordingly,
the Purchase Agreement is included with this filing only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of transaction,
and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the Company. Moreover, information concerning the subject
matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information
may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures. The form of the Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current

by, such agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference.
