Rockwell Medical, Inc. Offered $15 Million by Medical Resource Acquisition Group, LLC

NEW YORK, March 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Medical Resource Acquisition Group, LLC, (MRAG), an investment firm focused on disruptive technologies in the healthcare space, offered Rockwell Medical, Inc. RMTI, on February 25, 2020, equity funding of $15 million for the board seats of current Directors John Cooper, Mark Ravich and Lisa Colleran, who may (or may not) be put up for reelection at the Company's upcoming annual shareholder meeting (see attached letter here).

MRAG believes the Rockwell Medical management team and Board of Directors' failure to provide appropriate governance has led to reckless spending, a cash deficiency and a lack of operational controls resulting in poor stock performance. Part of the group who has overseen the destruction in value of the RMTI share price includes, John Cooper, Mark Ravich and Lisa Colleran, who have been a distraction for the Board and have hindered the conception, adoption and execution of a much needed dynamic and innovative strategy for Rockwell Medical. Director Ben Wolin resigned from his position on
February 28, 2020, three days after the Company received the $15 million offer and notice of a possible proxy battle from MRAG.

Mr. Khurram Shroff, General Partner of MRAG, stated, "Along with our generous offer to fund Rockwell with $15 million, we filed our slate of three high-quality directors with Rockwell and met the requirement of demonstrating the share ownership to do so. We have been taking a significant ownership position in Rockwell and we plan to acquire approximately an additional five million shares. We prefer to acquire those shares direct from Rockwell for $15 million for the three board seats. We believe the $15 million will provide a substantial and timely equity infusion for the Company and that the three board seats will be lost in a contested election anyway. We expect the Rockwell Board of Directors will exercise their fiduciary duty, do what is best for shareholders and accept our offer, avoiding an expensive proxy fight the Company cannot afford for three director seats they will lose anyway". Mr. Shroff also stated, "We believe a $15 million cash infusion and a well-respected, truly independent Board will put Rockwell on the pathway to tremendous success and remove the overhang on the share price."

As of today, the Rockwell Medical Board of Directors has not accepted or declined MRAG's $15 million dollar offer.

The Directors that MRAG will nominate for election at the Rockwell Medical annual shareholder meeting are as follows:
