Description of Business	Description of Business Rockwell Medical, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, “we”, “our”, “us”, or the “Company”), is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to improving outcomes for patients with iron-deficiency anemia, with an initial focus on patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and on dialysis. The Company is focused on developing its proprietary ferric pyrophosphate (“FPC”) therapeutic platform, and the first product developed from this platform is Triferic, the first-FDA approved product for the replacement of iron and maintenance of hemoglobin in adult hemodialysis patients. We initiated commercial sales of Triferic Dialysate, during the second quarter of 2019 and received approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for the intravenous formulation of Triferic, Triferic AVNU, on March 27, 2020. We plan to leverage our experience with Triferic to develop our FPC platform for iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia in other disease states. We are also a manufacturer of hemodialysis concentrates for dialysis providers and distributors in the United States and abroad. We supply the domestic market with dialysis concentrates and we also supply dialysis concentrates to distributors serving a number of foreign countries, primarily in the Americas and the Pacific Rim. Our mission is to transform anemia management in a wide variety of disease states across the globe while improving patients’ lives. Accordingly, we are building the foundation to become a leading medical and commercial organization in the field of dialysis. Triferic® is a registered trademark of Rockwell Medical, Inc.
