EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This proxy statement supplement, dated May 31, 2016, supplements the definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) of Rockwell Medical, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 18, 2016, relating to the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on June 2, 2016. The Company is providing this disclosure to supplement the information provided in the Proxy Statement regarding solicitation of proxies.

 

This supplement updates the third paragraph under “Introduction — General” on page 1 of the Proxy Statement. The updated paragraph is set forth below:

 

We will bear the cost of soliciting proxies. We have retained the firm of D.F. King & Co., Inc. specialists in proxy solicitation, to solicit proxies on its behalf from brokers, bank nominees, and other holders of its stock at an anticipated cost of $20,000 plus certain out-of-pocket expenses. Proxies may also be solicited by our directors and employees personally, and by telephone, facsimile, or other means. No additional compensation will be paid to these individuals for proxy solicitation nor is it expected to result in more than a minimal cost to us. This proxy statement, the form of proxy and the 2015 Annual Report are being furnished to banks, brokers and other nominees who hold our common stock on behalf of beneficial owners and if asked, we will reimburse banks, brokers and other nominees for their out-of-pocket expenses in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

 

This supplement should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement. From and after the date of this supplement, any references to the “Proxy Statement” are to the Proxy Statement as supplemented hereby.
