Co-Diagnostics, Inc. to Join Russell 2000® and Russell 3000® Indexes

SALT LAKE CITY, June 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Co-Diagnostics, Inc. (Nasdaq: CODX), a molecular diagnostics company with a unique, patented platform for the development of diagnostic tests, announced today that it is expected to join the Russell 2000^® Index at the conclusion of the annual Russell US Indexes reconstitution after the close of equity markets on June 26, 2020.

Annual Russell indexes reconstitution captures the 4,000 largest US stocks as of May 8, 2020 ranking them by total market capitalization. Membership in the US all-cap Russell 3000^® Index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the large-cap Russell 1000^® Index or small-cap Russell 2000^® Index as well as the appropriate growth and value style indexes. FTSE Russell, a leading global index provider, determines membership for its Russell indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.

Dwight Egan, Co-Diagnostics CEO, remarked "We are pleased by our inclusion in the Russell 2000^® Index and the validation it brings to our Company as a provider of molecular diagnostics solutions. We believe this will further enhance our visibility in the investment community, especially among institutions."

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. Approximately $9 trillion in assets are benchmarked against Russell's US indexes, and the Russell 2000^® Index is comprised of the smaller-cap stocks of the Russell 3000^® Index, a market cap weighted index of the 3,000 largest US stocks.
