Stockholders' Equity | Stockholders’ Equity The Company held its annual meeting of stockholders on May 23, 2023 (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of the Rockwell Medical, Inc. 2018 Long Term Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock issuable thereunder by 1,600,000 shares (the “Amended 2018 Plan”). Preferred Stock On April 6, 2022, the Company and DaVita entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement (the "SPA"), which provided for the issuance by the Company of up to $15 million of preferred stock to DaVita. On April 6, 2022, the Company issued 7,500 shares of Series X Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of $7.5 million. On June 16, 2022 the Company issued an additional 7,500 shares of the Series X Preferred Stock to DaVita for gross proceeds of $7.5 million. The Series X Preferred Stock was issued for a price of $1,000 per share (the "Face Amount"), subject to accretion at a rate of 1% per annum, compounded annually. If the Company’s common stock trades above $22.00 for a period of 30 calendar days, the accretion will thereafter cease. As of September 30, 2023, the Series X Preferred Stock accreted a total $150,000. The Series X Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible to common stock at a rate equal to the Face Amount, divided by a conversion price of $11.00 per share (subject to adjustment for future stock splits, reverse stock splits and similar recapitalization events). As a result, each share of Series X Preferred Stock will initially convert into approximately 91 shares of common stock. DaVita’s right to convert to common stock is subject to a beneficial ownership limitation, which is initially set at 9.9% of the outstanding common stock, which limitation may be reset (not to exceed 19.9%) at DaVita’s option and upon providing prior written notice to the Company. In addition, any debt financing is limited by the terms of our Securities Purchase Agreement with DaVita. Specifically, until DaVita owns less than 50% of its investment, the Company may only incur additional debt in the form of a purchase money loan, a working capital line of up to $5 million or to refinance existing debt, unless DaVita consents. Additionally, the Series X Preferred Stock has a deemed liquidation event and redemption clause which could be triggered if the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets relating to the Company's dialysis concentrates business line. Since the Series X Preferred Stock may be redeemed if certain assets are sold at the option of the holder, but is not mandatorily redeemable and the sale of the assets that would allow for redemption is within the control of the Company, the preferred stock has been classified as permanent equity and initially recognized at fair value of $15 million (the proceeds on the date of issuance) less issuance costs of $0.1 million, resulting in an initial value of $14.9 million. The Company will assess at each reporting period whether conditions have changed to now meet the mandatory redemption definition which could trigger liability classification. As of both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share, authorized and 15,000 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

The offering and sale of such shares has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, no sales were made pursuant to the Sales Agreement. Approximately $12.2 million remains available for sale under the ATM facility. Registered Direct Offering On May 30, 2022, the Company entered into the Registered Direct Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold, in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”), 844,613 shares of its common stock at price of $1.39 per share, and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 7,788,480 shares of common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants” and the shares of common stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Warrant Shares”). The purchase price of each Pre-Funded Warrant is equal to the price at which a share of common stock was sold to the public in the Offering, minus $0.0001, and the exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrant is $0.0001 per share. A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Pre-Funded Warrants to the extent the holder would own more than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock immediately after exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrant. The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and agreements of the Company and the Purchaser and customary indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. On July 5, 2023, all of the remaining Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 1,793,000 shares of common stock were exercised. The exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrant was $0.0001 per share and resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of $179. Private Placement Also on May 30, 2022, concurrent with the Offering, the Company entered into the private investment in public equity "PIPE" Purchase Agreement relating to the offering and sale (the “Private Placement”) of warrants to purchase up to a total of 9,900,990 shares of common stock (the "PIPE Warrants") and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to a total of 1,267,897 shares of common stock (the “Pre-Funded PIPE Warrants”). Each warrant was sold at a price of $0.125 per underlying warrant share and is exercisable at an exercise price of $1.39 per share. The purchase price of each Pre-Funded Warrant was equal to the price at which a share of common stock was sold to the public in the Offering, minus $0.0001, and the exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrant is $0.0001 per share. As of December 2022, all Pre-Funded PIPE Warrants have been exercised. On July 10, 2023, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. (“Armistice”), which held a warrant (the “Prior Warrant”) to purchase 9,900,990 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) with an exercise price of $1.39 per share, offering Armistice the opportunity to exercise the Prior Warrant for cash, provided the Prior Warrant was exercised for cash on or prior to 5:00 P.M.

In addition, Armistice would receive a “reload” warrant (the “Reload Warrant”) to purchase 3,750,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $5.13 per share, the closing price as reported by the Nasdaq Capital Market on July 7, 2023.

The Prior Warrant and the Reload Warrant both provide that a holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Prior Warrant or the Reload Warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock immediately after exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of such warrant. To the extent the exercise of the Prior Warrant would result in Armistice holding more than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, such shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.99% will be held in abeyance. The Letter Agreement amended the Prior Warrant to extend the expiration date thereof to one year following the original expiration date set forth therein. |
