QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT

THE PROXY MATERIALS AND THE ANNUAL MEETING

What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting?

The Annual Meeting is being held for the purposes of obtaining stockholder approval for the following proposals (the “Proposals”):

1.	To elect the two (2) Class II director nominees, each of whom are currently serving on our board of directors, each to serve until the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, or removal;
2.	To approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers;
3.	To ratify the appointment of Tanner LLC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023; and
4.	To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Who is entitled to vote?

Only our shareholders of record at the close of business on the record date for the meeting, July 3, 2023, are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the close of business on July 3, 2022, we had 30,788,871 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

1

How many votes do I have?

Each share of our common stock that the stockholder owns as of July 3, 2023 entitles the stockholder to one vote on each director nominee listed in Proposal 1, Proposal 2, Proposal 3, and any other matter that might properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Can I access the proxy materials electronically?

Yes. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying Annual Report are available online at www.proxyvote.com, the Company’s website https://codiagnostics.com/investors and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

How can I attend the Annual Meeting?

We will be hosting the Annual Meeting live via the internet. There will not be a physical location for the Annual Meeting.

Any stockholder can listen to and participate in the Annual Meeting live via the internet at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CODX2023. on August 30, 2023, and the webcast of the Annual Meeting will begin at 10:00 A.M. (Mountain Time) that day.

Shareholders may also vote while connected to the Annual Meeting on the internet. You will need the 16-digit control number included on your voting instruction form or your proxy card (if you received a printed copy of the proxy materials) in order to be able to vote your shares or submit questions.

Instructions on how to connect and participate via the internet, including how to demonstrate proof of stock ownership, are posted at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CODX2023.

We will have technicians ready to assist you with any technical difficulties you may have accessing the virtual meeting. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting during the check-in or meeting time, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the virtual stockholder meeting login page.

If you do not have your control number, you will be able to listen to the meeting only — you will not be able to vote.

What is the difference between a stockholder of record and a beneficial owner of shares held in street name?

Stockholder of Record. If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, VStock Transfer, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and we sent a Notice of Annual Meeting and a printed set of the proxy materials, together with a proxy card, directly to you.

Beneficial Owner of Shares Held in Street Name. If your shares are held in an account at a broker, bank or other nominee, then you are the beneficial owner of those shares held in “street name,” and a Notice of Annual Meeting and a set of the proxy materials, together with a voting instruction form, was forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other nominee who is considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote the shares held in your account by following the instructions in the Notice of Annual Meeting and the voting instruction form you received.

2

How can I vote my shares?

The process for voting your shares depends on how your shares are held. Generally, as discussed above, you may hold shares as a “record holder” (that is, in your own name) or in “street name” (that is, through a nominee, such as a broker or bank). As explained above, if you hold shares in “street name,” you are considered to be the “beneficial owner” of those shares.

Voting by Record Holders. If you are a record holder, you may vote by proxy prior to the Annual Meeting or you may vote during the Annual Meeting in person. If you are a record holder and would like to vote your shares by proxy prior to the Annual Meeting, you have four ways to vote:

1.	By phone: 1-800-690-6903;
2.	Website: www.proxyvote.com;
3.	Vote by Mail: Mark, sign and date your proxy card and return it in the postage-paid envelope we have provided or return it to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717; or
4.	Virtual Meeting: During The Annual Meeting: Go to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CODX2023.

Please note that Internet proxy voting will close at 11:59 P.M. (Eastern Standard Time) on August 29, 2023. If you received a proxy card in the mail and wish to vote by completing and returning the proxy card via mail, please note that your completed proxy card must be received before the polls close for voting at the Annual Meeting.

Voting by beneficial owners of shares held in “street name.” If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record (also known as “street name”), you have the right to direct your bank, broker or other nominee on how to vote your shares by using the voting instruction form provided to you by them, or by following their instructions for voting through the internet or by telephone. In order for your shares to be voted on all matters presented at the meeting, we urge all shareholders whose shares are held in street name by a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee to provide voting instructions to such record holder.

How are proxies voted?

All shares represented by valid proxies received prior to the Annual Meeting will be voted, and where a stockholder specifies by means of the proxy a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted in accordance with the stockholder’s instructions.

What happens if I do not give specific voting instructions?

Shareholders of Record. If you are a stockholder of record and you sign and return a proxy card without giving specific voting instructions or you indicate when voting in person, on the Internet, by fax or by e-mail that you wish to vote as recommended by the Board, then the proxy holders will vote your shares in the manner recommended by the Board on all matters presented in this Proxy Statement and as the proxy holders may determine in their discretion with respect to any other matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting.

3

Beneficial Owners of Shares Held in Street Name. If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and do not join and vote at the Annual Meeting or provide the broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares with specific voting instructions, then the broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares may generally vote on routine matters but cannot vote on non-routine matters. If the broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a non-routine matter, the broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares will inform the inspector of election that it does not have the authority to vote on this matter with respect to your shares. This is generally referred to as a “broker non-vote.”

Is my vote confidential?

Proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual shareholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either within Co-Diagnostics or to third parties, except: (1) as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements; (2) to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote; and (3) to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation. Occasionally, shareholders provide written comments on their proxy card, which are then forwarded to our management.

Which ballot measures are considered ‘‘routine’’ or ‘‘non-routine’’?

The ratification of the appointment of Tanner LLC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 (Proposal No. 3) is considered a “routine” matter. Your broker, therefore, may vote your shares in its discretion if you do not provide instructions on how to vote on this routine matter, and no broker non-votes are expected in connection with this proposal.

Proposal No. 1 and Proposal No. 2 are considered “non-routine” matters. Accordingly, a broker may not vote on these proposals without instructions from its customer and broker non-votes may occur with respect to these proposals.

Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy after I return my proxy card or vote online?

Any proxy may be revoked at any time before it is exercised by filing an instrument revoking it with the Company’s Secretary or by submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date prior to the time of the Annual Meeting. Shareholders who have voted by proxy over the Internet, by fax or by e-mail or have executed and returned a proxy and who then attend the Annual Meeting and desire to vote in person are requested to notify the Secretary in writing prior to the time of the Annual Meeting. We request that all such written notices of revocation to the Company be addressed to the Secretary of the Company prior to the Annual Meeting at 2401 S. Foothill Drive, Suite D, Salt Lake City, Utah 84109. Shareholders may also revoke their proxy by entering a new vote over the Internet, by fax, or by e-mail.

What constitutes a quorum?

The presence at the Annual Meeting, virtually or by proxy, of the holders of thirty-three and one-third percent (33 and 1/3%) of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting for the transaction of any business. If a quorum is established, each stockholder entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be entitled to one vote, virtually or by proxy, for each share of stock entitled to vote held by such stockholder as of the close of business on the Record Date.

Broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker for a beneficial owner are not voted either because (i) the broker did not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner or (ii) the broker lacked discretionary authority to vote the shares. Abstentions occur when shares present at the Annual Meeting are marked “abstain.” A broker is entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on “routine” matters, such as the ratification of Tanner LLC as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2023, without instructions from the beneficial owner of those shares. On the other hand, absent instructions from the beneficial owner of such shares, a broker is not entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on “non-routine” matters. All the other proposals presented at the Annual Meeting are non-routine matters. Broker non-votes and abstentions are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present but have no effect on the outcome of the matters voted upon except where brokers can exercise discretion on “routine” matters. Accordingly, we encourage you to provide voting instructions to your broker, whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting.

What are the Board of Directors’ recommendations?

The recommendations of the Board of Directors are set forth under the description of each proposal in this Proxy Statement. In summary, the Board of Directors recommends that you vote:

● “FOR” election of the directors named in this Proxy Statement as described in Proposal No. 1;

● “FOR” approval of the resolution regarding compensation of our named executive officers in Proposal No. 2;

4

● “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Tanner LLC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 as described in Proposal No. 3; and

● “FOR” transacting such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

What vote is required to approve each proposal?

Other than Proposal 1, all proposals require the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast. Proposal No. 1 requires a plurality of votes present.

Will abstentions and broker non-votes have an impact on the proposals contained in this Proxy Statement?

Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted to determine whether there is a quorum present at the Annual Meeting but will not be considered votes cast for voting purposes and thus will have no effect on any of the proposals to be presented at the Annual Meeting.

Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

We intend to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and disclose final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or the “Commission”) within four business days after the Annual Meeting.

Who pays the cost for soliciting proxies by the Board of Directors?

We will bear the cost of soliciting proxies, including the cost of preparing, printing and mailing the materials in connection with the solicitation of proxies. We will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred by them in sending the proxy materials to the beneficial owners of our common stock. In addition to solicitations by mail, our officers and regular employees may, without being additionally compensated, solicit proxies personally and by mail, telephone, facsimile or electronic communication.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 – ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

We have a classified Board currently consisting of five members, all but one of whom are non-employee directors, divided into three classes (Class I, Class II and Class II). Directors in each class are elected to serve for three-year staggered terms that expire in successive years. Our Class II directors are up for election this year. Accordingly, we are holding an election for our Class II directors at the Annual Meeting, with each Class II director elected to serve a three-year term.

The Board has nominated Dwight Egan and Eugene Durenard, for election as a Class II directors, for a three-year term expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2026 or until their successors are elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal. If a nominee declines to serve or becomes unavailable for any reason, or if any additional vacancy occurs before the election (although we know of no reason to anticipate that this will occur), the proxies may be voted for such substitute nominee as the Board may designate. Each nominee has consented to being named in the Proxy Statement and has agreed to serve if elected.

If a quorum is present, the nominees for Class II directors receiving the highest number of votes will be elected as Class II directors. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as shares present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum but will have no effect on the results of the vote. Biographical information, including the principal occupation of and other directorships held by each of the nominees for at least the past five years as well as the specific experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that led to the conclusion that they should serve as a member of the Board is provided elsewhere in this proxy statement in the section entitled “DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS” with respect to Class I nominees, as well as the Class I and Class III directors whose terms of office will continue after the Annual Meeting.

Vote Required

Pursuant to our bylaws, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes present at a meeting at which a quorum is present. The two nominees receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected.

Unless contrary instructions are given, shares represented by proxies solicited by the Board of Directors will be voted for the election of each of the nominees to the Board of Directors. If the person named as nominee should be unable or unwilling to stand for election at the time of the Annual Meeting, proxies will be voted for a replacement nominee designated by the Board of Directors or, in the event no such designation is made, proxies will be voted for a lesser number of nominees. At this time, the Board knows of no reason why the nominees listed above may not be able to serve as a director if elected. Ages of the nominees are reflected as of the mailing date of this proxy statement. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the nominees named herein.

BOARD RECOMMENDATION

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE FOREGOING NOMINEES.

PROXIES SOLICITED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL BE VOTED “FOR” EACH OF THE FOREGOING NOMINEES UNLESS STOCKHOLDERS SPECIFY A CONTRARY VOTE.

To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has been involved in any bankruptcy or criminal proceedings (other than traffic and other minor offenses) or been subject to any of the items set forth under Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K, nor have there been any judgments or injunctions brought against any of our directors or executive officers during the last ten years that we consider material to the evaluation of the ability and integrity of any director or executive officer.

Board and Committee Matters

Our board of directors has five members. The Chairman of the Board and our Chief Executive Officer, Dwight Egan, is a member of the board and is a full-time employee of the Company. Eugene Durenard, Edward Murphy, James Nelson and Richard Serbin are non-employee directors, and the board has determined that these persons (who constitute a majority of the board) are “independent directors” under the criteria set forth in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The board met eleven times during the year ended December 31, 2022. All directors attended more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the meetings of the board and committee meetings of which such director was a member held during 2022.

We maintain an audit committee of the board, a compensation committee of the board and a corporate governance/nominating committee of the board, each of which is discussed below. Our board has determined that Messrs. Durenard, Nelson, Murphy and Serbin are “independent” under the definition of independence in the Marketplace Rules of the NASDAQ listing requirements. Our board of directors may from time to time establish other standing committees. In addition, from time to time, special committees may be established under the direction of our board of directors when necessary to address specific issues.

Audit Committee and Financial Expert

Our audit committee currently is comprised of Messrs. Durenard, Nelson, Murphy and Serbin with Mr. Durenard serving as chairperson of the audit committee. The functions of the audit committee include engaging an independent registered public accounting firm to audit our annual financial statements, reviewing the independence of our auditors, the financial statements and the auditors’ report, and reviewing management’s administration of our system of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. The board of directors has adopted a written audit committee charter. A current copy of the audit committee charter is available to security holders on our website at www.codiagnostics.com. Our board has determined that all our directors that are serving on the audit committee are “independent” under the definition of independence in the Marketplace Rules of the NASDAQ listing standards. The Audit Committee met five times during the year ended December 31, 2022. All committee members attended more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the meetings of the Audit Committee held during 2022.

Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Durenard meets the requirements of an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC regulations.

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee currently includes Messrs. Serbin, Nelson, Murphy and Durenard with Mr. Serbin serving as chairperson of the compensation committee. The functions of the compensation committee include reviewing and approving corporate goals relevant to compensation for executive officers, evaluating the effectiveness of our compensation practices, evaluating and approving the compensation of our chief executive officer and other executives, recommending compensation for board members, and reviewing and making recommendations regarding incentive compensation and other employee benefit plans. The board of directors has adopted a written compensation committee charter. A current copy of the compensation committee charter is available to shareholders on our website at www.codiagnostics.com. Our board has determined that all of our directors serving on the compensation committee are “independent” under the definition of independence in the Marketplace Rules of the NASDAQ listing standards. The Compensation Committee did not meet as a separate committee in 2022, but rather, because the committee is comprised of all four independent directors, committee matters were addressed as necessary in meetings of the board. during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Corporate Governance Committee

Our Corporate Governance Committee currently includes Messrs. Nelson, Murphy, Durenard and Serbin with Mr. Nelson serving as chairperson of the Corporate Governance Committee. Among other items, the committee is tasked by the board of directors to: develop and recommend to the board the Corporate Governance Guidelines of the Company and oversee compliance therewith and evaluate and provide successor planning for the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers. A current copy of the Corporate Governance committee charter is available to shareholders on our website at www.codiagnostics.com. Our board has determined all directors serving on the Corporate Governance committee are “independent” under the definition of independence in the Marketplace Rules of the NASDAQ listing standards. The Corporate Governance Committee did not meet as a separate committee in 2022, but rather, because the committee is comprised of all four independent directors, committee matters were addressed as necessary in meetings of the board the year ended December 31, 2022.

9

Nominating Committee

Our Nominating Committee was split from the Corporate Governance Committee in 2022 and currently includes Messrs. Nelson, Murphy, Durenard and Serbin with Mr. Murphy serving as chairperson of the Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee has been established by the board, among other things to: assist the board in effecting board organization, membership and function including identifying qualified board nominees; assist the board in effecting the organization, membership and function of board committees including the composition of board committees and recommending qualified candidates therefor; evaluate and provide successor planning for the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers; and develop criteria for board membership, such as independence, term limits, age limits and ability of former employees to serve on the board and the evaluation of candidates’ qualifications for nominations to the board and its committees as well as removal therefrom. The Nominating Committee did not meet as a separate committee in 2022, but rather, because the committee is comprised of all four independent directors, committee matters were addressed as necessary in meetings of the board for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board does not have a policy regarding the separation of the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board as the Board believes it is in the best interests of the Company to make that determination based upon the position and direction of the Company and the membership of the Board. At present, the Chief Executive Officer also serves as Chairperson. The Board believes that the unified position of Chairperson and CEO currently serves the Company well because the CEO’s expertise and proximity to the daily affairs of the Company enhances the Board’s oversight function and facilitates open and timely communication between the Board and management; however, the Board recognizes that there may be circumstances that would lead it to conclude that these positions should be separated and believes that it is in the best interests of the Company for the Board to, from time to time, examine whether these positions should be separated.

No single leadership model is right for all companies at all times. The Board recognizes that depending on the circumstances, other leadership models, such as a separate independent chairman of the Board, might be appropriate. Accordingly, the Board periodically reviews its leadership structure.

Board Nominations

In considering board candidates, the board seeks individuals of proven judgment and competence who have strong reputations in their respective fields. Although we do not have a formal diversity policy, the board considers such factors as experience, education, employment history, special talents or personal attributes, anticipated participation in board activities, and geographic and diversity factors. The process for identifying and evaluating nominees would include detailed consideration of the recommendations and opinions of members of our board, our executive officers, and our stockholders. There would be no difference in the process of evaluation of candidates recommended by a stockholder and those recommended by other sources.

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) set forth procedures for shareholders to recommend nominees to the Company’s board. Nominations of persons for election to the board of directors to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders (i) pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting, (ii) by or at the direction of the board of directors, or (iii) by any stockholder of the Company who (A) was a stockholder of record at the time of giving of the notice, (B) is entitled to vote with respect to such matter at the meeting, and (C) complies with the notice procedures set forth in the Bylaws.

10

The following is a summary of key provisions from our Bylaws. For nominations to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder making such nominations must have given timely notice in writing to the secretary of the Company. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company not later than the close of business on the 75th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 125th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not later than the close of business on the later of (x) the 75th day prior to the scheduled date of such annual meeting or (y) the 15th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Company. To be in proper form, a stockholder’s notice to the secretary must: set forth, as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (A) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Company’s books, and of such beneficial owner, if any, (B) the class or series and number of shares of the Company that are, directly or indirectly, owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner, if any, as of the date of such notice, and (C) any other information relating to such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for, as applicable, the proposal and/or for the election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”). In addition, shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the company’s nominees must also comply with the additional requirements of Rule 14a-19(b).

The notice shall set forth, as to each person, if any, whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director (A) all information relating to such person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected) and (B) a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other monetary agreements, arrangements and understandings during the past three years, and any other relationships, between or among such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, and their respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the one hand, and each proposed nominee, and his or her respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the other hand, including, without limitation all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Rule 404 promulgated under Regulation S-K if the stockholder making the nomination and any beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination is made, if any, or any affiliate or associate thereof or person acting in concert therewith, were the “registrant” for purposes of such rule and the nominee were a director or executive officer of such registrant; and with respect to each nominee for election or reelection to the board of directors, include the completed and signed questionnaire, representation, and agreement required by the Bylaws. The Company may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Company to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the Company or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee.

Communication with the Board

We have not, to date, developed a formal process for shareholder communications with the board of directors. We believe our current informal process, in which any communication sent to the board of directors, either generally or in care of the chief executive officer, secretary or other corporate officer or director, is forwarded to all members of the board of directors, has served the board’s and the shareholders’ needs.

Conflicts of Interests

On an annual basis, each director and executive officer is obligated to complete a director and officer questionnaire that requires disclosure of any transactions with our company, including related person transactions reportable under SEC rules, in which the director or executive officer, or any member of his or her immediate family, have a direct or indirect material interest. Under our company’s standards of conduct for employees, all employees, including the executive officers, are expected to avoid conflicts of interest. Pursuant to our code of ethics for the chief executive officer and senior finance officers (as discussed below), such officers are prohibited from engaging in any conflict of interest unless a specific exception has been granted by the board. All of our directors are subject to general fiduciary standards to act in the best interests of our company and our shareholders. Conflicts of interest involving an executive officer or a director are generally resolved by the board.

11

Policy for Review of Related Party Transactions

The review of transactions with related persons policy is set forth in our Corporate Governance Committee Charter. The Corporate Governance Committee is to oversee the administration of any related party transactions policy in effect with respect to transactions in which the Company is a participant and involving directors, nominees for director, executive officers of the Company or holders of more than 5% of the Company’s common stock or immediate family members of any such person.

Board Diversity Matrix

The Company is committed to diversity and inclusion, and believes it is important that the Board is composed of individuals representing the diversity of our communities. The Company seeks nominees with a broad diversity of experience, professions, skills and backgrounds. The Board Diversity Matrix set forth below reports self-identified diversity statistics for the Board, as constituted prior to the Annual Meeting, in the format required by Nasdaq’s rules.

Role of the Board in Risk Oversight

Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of the risks that we face, while our board of directors, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, our board of directors is responsible for satisfying itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed.

Our board of directors does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through our board of directors as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of the board of directors that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, our board of directors is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure, including a determination of the nature and level of risk appropriate for us. Our Audit Committee has the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The Audit Committee also monitors oversight of the performance of our internal audit function. Our Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee monitors the effectiveness of our corporate governance guidelines, including whether they are successful in preventing illegal or improper liability-creating conduct. Our Compensation Committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs have the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking or promote behaviors contra to our Code of Business Conduct.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and other equity securities. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

The Company prepares these reports for its directors and executive officers who request it on the basis on information obtained from them and the Company’s records. The Company believes that applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements were met during 2022 by its directors and executive officers.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics for our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, controller, or persons performing similar functions. A copy of the code of ethics is included on our website at www.codiagnostics.com.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among our directors and executive officers.

EXECUTIVE AND BOARD COMPENSATION

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC. As a smaller reporting company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable, in general, to public companies that are not smaller reporting companies. Accordingly, this Report includes reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements.

Summary Compensation Table

The table below summarizes the total compensation paid or earned by each of the named executive officers in their respective capacities for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table: We do not have written employment agreements with any of our executive officers. All of our executive officers serve on an at-will basis. The base salaries for our named executive officers were determined by our compensation committee after reviewing a number of factors, including: the responsibilities associated with the position, the seniority of the executive’s position, the base salary level in prior years, and our financial position; and for executive officers other than our Chief Executive Officer, recommendations made by our Chief Executive Officer. By utilizing a combination of objective and subjective performance factors critical to our success, the board will award cash bonuses intended to incentivize our executive officers to achieve results that benefit them and the Company. Performance factors include the achievement of predetermined financial performance objectives, adherence to financial discipline measures and achievement of business development, product development and long-term business stability. The board may modify or re-weight the objectives during the course of the fiscal year, if necessary, to reflect changes in our business plan.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control

At the recommendation of the compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the board of directors (the “Board”) of Co-Diagnostics, Inc. (the “Company”), the Board approved the Co-Diagnostics, Inc. Change in Control Severance Plan (the “Plan”) and identified the initial participants eligible to receive benefits under the Plan.

The Plan provides severance benefits to a select group of designated management or highly compensated participants in the event their employment or affiliation with the Company or an affiliate is terminated due to a change in control (as defined in the Plan). Participants entitled to benefits under the Plan are designated from time-to-time by the Compensation Committee pursuant to the terms of an “Award Notice,” the form of which is appended to the Plan. The Award Notice identifies the eligible participant and the Severance Multiplier (as defined in the Plan) to which the participant is entitled. The Compensation Committee approved participation in the Plan for certain executives of the Company, including the Company’s CEO, Dwight Egan, with a Severance Multiplier of three times his severance benefit and the Company’s CFO, Brian Brown, with a Severance Multiplier of two times his severance benefit.

15

Under the Plan, if a participant’s employment or affiliation is terminated without “cause” or by the participant for “good reason” (each, as defined in the Plan) during the two-year period following a change in control, a participant will be entitled to a severance benefit equal to the participant’s Severance Multiplier as set forth in the participant’s Award Notice, times the sum of: (i) the participant’s annual base salary; and (ii) the greater of the participant’s target bonus or the average of the three highest actual annual cash bonuses paid to participant over the five preceding completed years.

The participant’s receipt of any of the payments or benefits is subject to the participant’s delivery to the Company of a separation agreement of the type that are ordinarily entered into in similar situations, in a form acceptable to the Company, in its sole discretion, which separation agreement may include a requirement for the participant to remain in the employ or service of the Company for a reasonable period of time after completion of the Change in Control transaction to assist in any transition activities for which participant’s services would be required.

The following table summarizes amounts that would have been payable to our named executive officers upon a termination of their employment qualifying for benefits under the Change in Control Severance Plan, assuming that such termination had occurred on December 31, 2022:

Name	Total
Dwight Egan, CEO	$	2,259,704
Brian Brown, CFO	$	1,181,661

Director Compensation

We use a combination of cash and stock-based incentive compensation to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on its board of directors.

Equity Incentive Plans

Under our Amended and Restated 2015 Long-term Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), the board of directors may issue incentive stock-based awards to employees, directors and consultants of the company. Options awarded generally expire ten years after being granted. Any stock-based awards granted vest in accordance with the vesting schedule determined by the board of directors. Should an employee’s director’s or consultant’s relationship with the company terminate before the vesting period is completed, the unvested portion of each grant is forfeited. We continue to maintain and grant awards under the 2015 Plan which will remain in effect its expiration by its terms.

The purpose of our incentive plan is to advance the interests of our shareholders by enhancing our ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who are expected to make important contributions to the company by providing them with both equity ownership opportunities and performance-based incentives intended to align their interests with those of our shareholders. These plans are designed to provide us with flexibility to select from among various equity-based compensation methods, and to be able to address changing accounting and tax rules and corporate governance practices by optimally utilizing stock-based awards.

PROPOSAL NO. 2 – ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION (“SAY-ON-PAY”)

Background

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”) requires that shareholders have the opportunity to cast an advisory (non-binding) vote on executive compensation (a so-called “say-on-pay” vote), as well as an advisory vote with respect to whether future “say-on-pay” votes will be held every one, two or three years (a so-called “say-on-frequency” vote).

Our executive compensation programs are designed to attract, motivate and retain our named executive officers (“NEOs”), who are critical to our success. Under these programs, our NEOs are rewarded for the achievement of both specific financial and strategic goals, which are expected to result in increased stockholder value. Please read the tables and narrative disclosure that follow for additional details about our executive compensation programs, including information about the year ended December 31, 2022 compensation of our NEOs.

The Compensation Committee regularly reviews the compensation programs for our NEOs to ensure that they achieve the desired goals of aligning our executive compensation structure with our shareholders’ interests and with current market practices. This includes establishing corporate target goals and objectives based on our strategic and operating plans. We closely monitor the compensation programs and pay levels of executives at other similarly situated companies, so that we may ensure that our compensation programs are within the norm of market practices. This enables us to retain our executive officers in a competitive market for executive talent.

We believe that our executive compensation programs have been effective at motivating the achievement of positive results, appropriately aligning pay and performance, and enabling us to attract and retain talented executives within our industry.

Recommendation

We request stockholder approval of our compensation of our NEOs for the year ended December 31, 2022 as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the SEC’s compensation disclosure rules (which disclosure includes the compensation tables, and the narrative disclosures that accompany the compensation tables within the Executive Compensation section of this Proxy Statement). This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our NEOs and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement.

Accordingly, we ask that you vote “FOR” the following resolution at our Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the shareholders of Co-Diagnostics, Inc., (the “Company”) approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosure within the Executive Compensation section of this Proxy Statement.”

The vote solicited for Proposal No.2 is advisory, and therefore is not binding on the Company, our Board of Directors or our Compensation Committee, nor will its outcome require the Company, our Board of Directors or our Compensation Committee to take any action. Moreover, the outcome of the vote will not be construed as overruling any decision by the Company, the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee. However, our Compensation Committee, which is responsible for designing and administering our executive compensation programs, values the opinions expressed by our shareholders in their vote on this Proposal and will consider the outcome of this vote when making future compensation decisions for our NEOs.

We currently intend to include a stockholder advisory resolution on our executive compensation program at our annual meeting of shareholders each year.

PROXIES SOLICITED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL BE VOTED “FOR” PROPOSAL NO. 2 UNLESS STOCKHOLDERS SPECIFY A CONTRARY VOTE.

PROPOSAL NO. 3 – RATIFICATION OF TANNER LLC AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2023

The Audit Committee appointed Tanner LLC (“Tanner”) to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, and further directed that the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm be submitted for ratification by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting. Shareholders are asked to ratify the appointment of Tanner at the Annual Meeting. Representatives of Tanner are not expected to be available during the Annual Meeting,

Dismissal of Haynie & Company

On March 31, 2023, we informed Haynie & Company (“Haynie”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm prior to the appointment of Tanner, of their dismissal effective upon the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023. The dismissal was authorized by the Audit Committee. On the same date, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of Tanner LLC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements effective upon the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Haynie’s report on the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements (collectively, the “financial statements”), did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

21

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and the subsequent interim period through March 31, 2023, there were no: (i) disagreements with Haynie on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures or audit scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to Haynie’s satisfaction would have caused Haynie to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report or (ii) reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company previously provided Haynie with a copy of the above disclosures in accordance with Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K prior to its filing of its Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 5, 2023 and requested that Haynie furnish a letter addressed to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements and, if it does not agree, the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter of Haynie, dated April 5, 2023 was filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and the subsequent interim period through March 31, 2023, the Company did not consult Tanner with respect to either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by Tanner that Tanner concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Accounting Fees and Services

Tanner did not provide any professional services during the calendar years 2022 and 2021, respectively. Prior to the appointment of Tanner, Haynie & Company served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The following table presents aggregate fees for professional services rendered by Haynie & Company for the respective periods.

	Years Ended December 31,

Audit related fees		-		-
Other consulting fees		-		-
Tax fees		-		-
Total fees	$	136,600	$	113,100

Audit fees consist of fees for professional services provided in connection with the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements, review of our quarterly consolidated financial statements and our offerings.

Tax fees included fees associated with tax compliance and tax consultations.

The audit committee has adopted a policy that requires advance approval of all services performed by the independent auditor when fees are expected to exceed $15,000. The audit committee has delegated to the audit committee chairperson, Mr. Durenard, the authority to approve services, subject to ratification by the audit committee at its next committee meeting. All fees incurred were pre-approved by the audit committee.

Vote Required

Approval of the ratification of the appointment of Tanner LLC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. If the appointment of Tanner LLC is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its sole discretion, may change the appointment at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Conversely, if shareholders fail to ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee will reconsider the appointment.

STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Shareholders and other interested parties may make their concerns known confidentially to the Board of Directors or the independent directors by sending an email to the Company’s Secretary. Each communication should specify the applicable addressee or addressees to be contacted as well as the general topic of the communication. We will initially receive and process communications before forwarding them to the addressee. We generally will not forward to the directors a communication that we determine is primarily commercial in nature or related to an improper or irrelevant topic, or that requests general information about the Company.

ANNUAL REPORTS

A copy of the Company’s Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2022 accompanies this Proxy Statement and is also posted on www.proxyvote.com and on the SEC’s website www.sec.gov.

Upon receipt of a written request, the Company will furnish to any stockholder without charge a copy of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 without exhibits required to be filed under the Exchange Act.

DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO STOCKHOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS

Under rules adopted by the SEC, we are permitted to deliver a single copy of the notice of Internet availability of the proxy materials or proxy materials to any household at which two or more shareholders reside if we believe the shareholders are members of the same family, unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of the security holders. This process, called “householding,” allows us to reduce the number of copies of these materials we must print and mail. Even if householding is used, each stockholder will continue to be entitled to submit a separate proxy or voting instructions.

Certain banks, brokers, broker-dealers and other similar organizations acting as nominee record holders may be participating in the practice of “householding” proxy materials. If you are a beneficial owner of our shares and would prefer to receive separate copies of a proxy statement or annual report for other shareholders in your household, either now or in the future, please contact your bank, broker, broker-dealer or other similar organization serving as your nominee. Beneficial owners of our shares sharing an address who are receiving multiple copies of the proxy materials and who wish to receive a single copy of these materials in the future will need to contact their bank, broker, broker-dealer or other similar organization serving as their nominee to request that only a single copy of each document be mailed to all shareholders at the shared address in the future.

If you are eligible for householding, but you and other shareholders of record with whom you share an address currently receive multiple copies of our annual report and/or proxy statement, or if you hold stock in more than one account, and in either case you wish to receive only a single copy of each of these documents for your household, please contact Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., Householding Department, in writing at 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717; or by telephone: (866) 540-7095. If you participate in householding and wish to receive a separate copy of this proxy statement, or if you do not wish to participate in householding and prefer to receive separate copies of our annual report and/or proxy statement in the future, please contact Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., Householding Department as indicated above.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR

OUR 2024 ANNUAL MEETING

Shareholders interested in submitting a proposal for inclusion in our proxy statement for next year’s annual meeting must do so in compliance with our Bylaws and applicable SEC rules and regulations.

If the date of our 2024 annual meeting is moved more than 30 days before or after the anniversary date of this year’s meeting, the deadline for inclusion of proposals in our proxy statement will instead be a reasonable time before we begin to print and mail our proxy materials next year. Any such proposals will also need to comply with the various provisions of Rule 14a-8, which governs the basis on which such stockholder proposals can be included or excluded from Company-sponsored proxy materials.

If a stockholder desires to submit a proposal, including nominations for directors, for consideration at the 2024 annual meeting, but not have the proposal included with our proxy solicitation materials relating to the 2023 annual meeting, the stockholder must comply with the procedures set forth in our governing documents. Our Bylaws require that, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof, along with other specified material, in proper written form to the Company. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice pertaining to an annual meeting shall be delivered to the Corporate Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company not less than seventy-five (75) or more than one-hundred and twenty-five (125) days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or more than sixty (60) days after the previous year’s annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the later of the 75th day prior to the scheduled date of such annual meeting or the 15th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Company.

Any stockholder who wishes to make such a proposal should obtain a copy of the Bylaws, which contain these and other requirements with respect to stockholder proposals and director nominations, including certain information that must be included concerning the stockholder and each proposal and nominee. Our Bylaws were filed with the SEC as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on February 1, 2022. You may also obtain a copy by writing to our Corporate Secretary, at Co-Diagnostics, Inc., 2401 S. Foothill Drive, Suite D, Salt Lake City, Utah 84109.
