Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Co-Diagnostics, Inc. entered into an amendment to its Equity Distribution Agreement with Maxim Group LLC on July 27, 2026. The amendment removes the fixed aggregate dollar cap on sales, so future offers and sales of common stock under this arrangement are limited only by the amount of stock currently registered and available under the effective Shelf Registration Statement No. 333-295803 and the related prospectus supplement dated July 27, 2026.

In connection with this amendment, the company agreed with investors under a Securities Purchase Agreement dated May 19, 2026 to extend the period during which it will not issue or agree to issue common stock or equity-linked securities, or file related registration statements, until 5:00 pm Eastern Time on August 14, 2026. The company also clarified that this report does not itself constitute an offer to sell or solicitation to buy any shares.

Filing Explained

The effective shelf covers up to 4,942,341 resale shares; resales provide no company proceeds, while cash warrant exercise could provide about $5.18 million.

The referenced effective shelf covers up to $4.94 million of resale shares for selling stockholders; the company receives no proceeds from those resales, while cash warrant exercise could provide up to approximately $5.18 million.

Although the filing refers to offers and sales under the shelf, the supplied S-3 definition makes clear that registration creates future-sale capacity and does not itself establish that shares were sold.

The shelf record is marked effective through May 28, 2029, and records a 424(b)(5) prospectus-supplement usage on July 27, 2026.

Equity Distribution Agreement financial
"entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “Original Equity Distribution Agreement”)"
An equity distribution agreement is a formal plan between a company and financial institutions to sell newly issued shares of the company's stock to investors over a period of time. It helps the company raise money gradually, similar to filling a container with water in stages, rather than all at once. For investors, it provides an organized way to buy shares and can influence the stock's supply and price.
Shelf Registration Statement regulatory
"The offer and sale of the shares is being made pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement"
A shelf registration statement is a document a company files with regulators that allows it to sell shares or bonds quickly when it’s a good time to raise money. It’s like having a pre-approved plan ready so the company can act fast without going through lengthy paperwork each time they want to sell, making fundraising more flexible.
Prospectus Supplement regulatory
"and the related prospectus supplement dated July 27, 2026 (the “Prospectus Supplement”)"
A prospectus supplement is an additional document provided alongside a company's main offering details, offering updated or extra information about a specific financial product being sold. It helps investors understand the latest terms, risks, and details of the investment, similar to how an update or revision clarifies or expands on original instructions, ensuring they have current and complete information before making a decision.
Securities Purchase Agreement financial
"with the investors under the Securities Purchase Agreement dated May 19, 2026"
A securities purchase agreement is a written contract between a buyer and a seller outlining the terms for buying or selling financial assets such as stocks or bonds. It specifies details like the price, quantity, and conditions of the transaction, similar to a shopping list with agreed-upon terms. For investors, it provides clarity and legal protection when transferring ownership of these financial instruments.
Emerging growth company regulatory
"Emerging growth company"
An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.
