Co-Diagnostics has entered into a private placement to raise $3.0 million in gross proceeds, a critical move given its recent 'going concern' warning and significant cash burn. The offering is highly dilutive, involving the issuance of 54,915 shares of common stock, 1,592,532 pre-funded warrants, and 3,294,894 common warrants. The combined effective offering price of $1.821 per unit (share/pre-funded warrant plus common warrant) is a deep discount compared to the current stock price of $2.83, with common warrants exercisable at $1.571. While necessary to extend the company's financial runway, the terms are significantly unfavorable to existing shareholders due to the substantial dilution and discounted pricing. Officers and directors have agreed to a 60-day lock-up, and the company has placed restrictions on future equity issuances for 60-90 days, with an exception for existing ATM programs.
