AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) 1. Description of Business Rockwell Medical, Inc. (the "Company", "Rockwell", "we", or "us") is a healthcare company that develops, manufactures, commercializes, and distributes a portfolio of hemodialysis products for dialysis providers worldwide. Rockwell is a revenue-generating business and the second largest supplier of liquid and powder acid and bicarbonate concentrates for dialysis patients in the United States. Hemodialysis is the most common form of end-stage kidney disease treatment and is typically performed at freestanding outpatient dialysis centers, hospital-based outpatient centers, skilled nursing facilities, or in a patient’s home. Rockwell provides the hemodialysis community with products controlled by a Quality Management System regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). Rockwell is ISO 13485 Certified and adheres to current Good Manufacturing Practices ("cGMP") and Association for Advancement of Medical Instrumentation ("AAMI") standards. Rockwell manufactures hemodialysis concentrates at its facilities in Michigan, South Carolina, and Texas totaling approximately 175,000 square feet, and manufactures its dry acid concentrate mixers at its facility in Iowa. Rockwell delivers the majority of its hemodialysis concentrates products and mixers to dialysis clinics throughout the United States and internationally utilizing its own delivery trucks and third-party carriers. On July 10, 2023, Rockwell acquired the hemodialysis concentrates business from Evoqua Water Technologies LLC ("Evoqua"). This acquisition expands the Company's geographic footprint, customer base, and product offerings. In addition, this acquisition provides fully automated processing that potentially results in a lower cost to manufacture. As part of this acquisition, the Company now manufactures hemodialysis concentrates in Minnesota under a contract manufacturing agreement with a contract manufacturing organization. (See Note 16 for further detail). In addition to its primary focus on hemodialysis concentrates, Rockwell also has a proprietary parenteral iron product, Triferic ® (ferric pyrophosphate citrate ("FPC")), which is indicated to maintain hemoglobin in adult patients with hemodialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease. While Rockwell has discontinued commercialization of Triferic in the United States, the Company has established several international partnerships with companies seeking to develop and commercialize Triferic outside the United States and is working closely with these international partners to develop and commercialize Triferic in their respective regions. Additionally, Rockwell continues to evaluate the viability of its FPC platform and FPC's potential to treat iron deficiency, iron deficiency anemia, and acute heart failure. Rockwell was incorporated in the state of Michigan in 1996 and re-domiciled to the state of Delaware in 2019. Rockwell's headquarters is located at 30142 Wixom Road, Wixom, Michigan 48393. 9 ROCKWELL MEDICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) 2. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of June 30, 2023, Rockwell had approximately $ 14.9 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments available-for-sale, and working capital of $ 10.1 million. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $ 5.6 million. Based on the currently available working capital, management believes the Company currently has sufficient funds to meet its operating requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date of the filing of this report. On July 10, 2023, Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. (“Armistice”), which held a warrant to purchase 9,900,990 shares of common stock of the Company with an exercise price of $ 1.39 per share, exercised the warrant and the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $ 13.8 million (See Note 16 for further detail). Also on July 10, 2023, Rockwell acquired the hemodialysis concentrates business from Evoqua Water Technologies LLC ("Evoqua") for an aggregate purchase price, subject to certain adjustments pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, of $ 11.0 million in cash paid at closing and equal annual installments of $ 2.5 million payable on each of the first and second anniversaries of the closing. In addition, the Company purchased approximately $ 1.2 million of inventory. This acquisition expands the Company's geographic footprint, customer base, and product offerings. In addition, this acquisition provides fully automated processing that potentially results in a lower cost to manufacture. As part of this acquisition, the Company manufactures hemodialysis concentrates under a contract manufacturing agreement with a contract manufacturing organization. (See Note 16 for further detail). The Company continues to review its operational plans and execute on the acquisition of new customers, and has implemented cost containment activities. The Company may require additional capital to sustain its operations and make the investments it needs to execute its strategic plan. Additionally, the Company's operational plans include raising capital, if needed, by using its at-the-market ("ATM") facility or other methods or forms of financings, subject to existing limitations. If the Company attempts to obtain additional debt or equity financing, the Company cannot assume such financing will be available on favorable terms, if at all. As of June 30, 2023, the Company is no longer subject to the baby shelf limitations under Form S-3, which limit the amount the Company may offer pursuant to its registration statement on Form S-3. The Company is subject to certain covenants and cure provisions under its Loan Agreement with Innovatus. As of the date of this report, the Company is in compliance with all covenants (See Note 14 for further detail). In addition, the global macroeconomic environment is uncertain, and could be negatively affected by, among other things, increased U.S. trade tariffs and trade disputes with other countries, instability in the global capital and credit markets, recent bank failures in the United States, supply chain weaknesses, and instability in the geopolitical environment, including as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and other political tensions, and lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Such challenges have caused, and may continue to cause, recession fears, rising interest rates, foreign exchange volatility and inflationary pressures. At this time, the Company is unable to quantify the potential effects of this economic instability on our future operations. Rockwell has utilized a range of financing methods to fund its operations in the past; however, current conditions in the financial and credit markets may limit the availability of funding, refinancing or increase the cost of funding. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of the global situation, it is not possible to predict the extent to which these conditions could adversely affect the Company's liquidity and capital resources in the future. 10 ROCKWELL MEDICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) 3. Basis of Presentation, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and on the same basis as the Company prepares its annual audited consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2023, and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, and changes in stockholders' equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022 has been derived from audited financial statements, however, it does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2023. The Company’s consolidated subsidiaries consist of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Rockwell Transportation, Inc. and Rockwell Medical India Private Limited. The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Restatement of Loss Per Share Earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 have been recalculated and restated and is presented on a comparable basis with the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company determined it should have included pre-funded warrants issued in Q2 2022 in the earnings per share calculation accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC’) 260-10-45-13, which treats shares of common stock exercisable for little to no consideration as included in the denominator of both the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations. While the Company has determined the impact of including the pre-funded warrants in the earnings per share calculations does not have a material impact on previously issued financial statements and is correct to recalculate and restate amounts presented on a comparative and consistent basis with current period results. The table below summarizes previously reported and restated amounts on a comparative basis. See the table presentation of loss per share calculations as of June 30, 2023 and 2022 in the "Loss Per Share Including Restated Amounts" section below. Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2022 As Previously Reported: Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders - basic and diluted $ ( 0.56 ) $ ( 1.40 ) Weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding - basic and diluted 8,805,190 8,675,428 As Restated: Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders - basic and diluted $ ( 0.43 ) $ ( 1.20 ) Weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding - basic and diluted 11,591,768 10,076,415 Loss Per Share Basic and diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, after giving effect to the restatement discussed above, was calculated as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (In Thousands, Except Shares and Per Share Amounts) 2023 2022 2023 2022 Numerator: Net loss $ ( 3,305 ) $ ( 4,967 ) $ ( 5,055 ) $ ( 12,128 ) Net loss attributable to common stockholders for basic and diluted loss per share $ ( 3,305 ) $ ( 4,967 ) $ ( 5,055 ) $ ( 12,128 ) Denominator: Weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding - basic and diluted 18,496,640 11,591,768 18,480,248 10,076,415 Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders - basic and diluted $ ( 0.18 ) $ ( 0.43 ) $ ( 0.27 ) $ ( 1.20 ) Included within the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, are 1,793,000 and 9,056,377 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the pre-funded warrants (See Note 10), as the warrants are exercisable at any time for nominal consideration, and as such, the shares are considered outstanding for the purpose of calculating basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders. The Company’s potentially dilutive securities include stock options, restricted stock awards and units, convertible preferred stock and warrants. These securities were excluded from the computations of diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. The following table includes the potential shares of common stock, presented based on amounts outstanding at each period end, that were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect: As of June 30, 2023 2022 Options to purchase common stock 1,570,599 423,317 Unvested restricted stock awards 891 891 Unvested restricted stock units 313,065 125,000 Convertible Preferred Stock 1,363,636 1,363,636 Warrants to purchase common stock 10,196,268 12,303,432 Total 13,444,459 14,216,276 Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company continually assesses new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a review to determine the consequences of the change to its consolidated financial statements and assures there are sufficient controls in place to ascertain the Company’s consolidated financial statements properly reflect the change. In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)," which introduced an impairment model that is based on expected credit losses, rather than incurred losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments (e.g., loan commitments). The expected credit losses should consider historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments, over the contractual term. Financial instruments with similar risk characteristics may be grouped together when estimating expected credit losses. In addition, ASC 326 requires expected credit relates losses for available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses, while non-credit related losses will continue to be recognized through other comprehensive income. The Company adopted the new guidance, as of January 1, 2023, and it did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. 11 ROCKWELL MEDICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) 4. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the new revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle: • Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer • Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract • Step 3: Determine the transaction price • Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract • Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by us from a customer, are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight related to contracts with customers are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of sales when control of the goods transfers to the customer. Nature of goods and services The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company generates its revenue. We currently operate in one market segment, the hemodialysis market, which involves the manufacture, sale and distribution of hemodialysis products to hemodialysis clinics, including pharmaceutical, dialysis concentrates, dialysis kits and other ancillary products used in the dialysis process. Our customer mix is diverse with most customer sales concentrations under 10% and one customer, DaVita, Inc., at approximately 50 % for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Our accounts receivable from this customer were approximately 33 % of the total consolidated accounts receivable balance at June 30, 2023. Product sales – The Company accounts for individual products and services separately if they are distinct (i.e., if a product or service is separately identifiable from other items and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer). The consideration, including any discounts, is allocated between separate products and services based on their stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the cost plus margin approach. Drug and dialysis concentrates products are sold directly to dialysis clinics and to wholesale distributors in both domestic and international markets. Distribution and license agreements for which upfront fees are received are evaluated upon execution or modification of the agreement to determine if the agreement creates a separate performance obligation from the underlying product sales. For all existing distribution and license agreements, the distribution and license agreement is not a distinct performance obligation from the product sales. In instances where regulatory approval of the product has not been established and the Company does not have sufficient experience with the foreign regulatory body to conclude regulatory approval is probable, the revenue for the performance obligation is recognized over the term of the license agreement (over time recognition). Conversely, when regulatory approval already exists or is probable, revenue is recognized at the point in time control of the product transfers to the customer. The Company received upfront fees under five distribution and license agreements that have been deferred as a contract liability. The amounts received from Wanbang Biopharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (“Wanbang”), Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. ("Sun Pharma"), Jeil Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. ("Jeil Pharma") and Drogsan Pharmaceuticals ("Drogsan Pharma") are recognized as revenue over the estimated term of the applicable distribution and license agreement as regulatory approval was not received and the Company did not have sufficient experience in China, India, South Korea and Turkey, respectively, to determine regulatory approval was probable as of the execution of the agreement. The amounts received from Baxter Healthcare Corporation (“Baxter”) were deferred and recognized as revenue at the point in time the estimated product sales under the agreement occurred. In November 2022, Rockwell reacquired its distribution rights to its hemodialysis concentrates products from Baxter and terminated the exclusive distribution agreement. Under the exclusive distribution agreement, Baxter distributed and commercialized Rockwell’s hemodialysis concentrates products and provided customer service and order delivery to nearly all United States customers. Following the reacquisition of these rights, Rockwell is now unrestricted in its ability to sell its hemodialysis concentrates products to dialysis clinics throughout the United States and around the world. Rockwell agreed to pay Baxter a fee for the reacquisition of its distribution rights which was reflected as an expense at that time. This fee was payable in two equal installments on January 1, 2023 and April 1, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, all payments were completed. For the majority of the Company’s U.S. and international customers, the Company recognizes revenue at the shipping point, which is generally the Company’s plant or warehouse. For other business, the Company recognizes revenue based on when the customer takes control of the product. The amount of revenue recognized is based on the purchase order less returns and adjusted for any rebates, discounts, chargebacks or other amounts paid to customers. There were no such adjustments for the periods reported.

Deferred Revenue In October 2014, the Company entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Baxter, which had a term of 10 years and received an upfront fee of $ 20 million.

Exclusivity and other provisions associated with the distribution agreement terminated November 9, 2022 and the remaining operational elements of the agreement terminated December 31, 2022. Rockwell agreed to provide certain services to a group of Baxter's customers until March 31, 2023. Under the distribution agreement, Baxter distributed and commercialized Rockwell’s hemodialysis concentrates products and provided customer service and order delivery to nearly all United States customers. Following the reacquisition of these rights, Rockwell is now unrestricted in its ability to sell its hemodialysis concentrates products to dialysis clinics throughout the United States and around the world.

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 June 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, 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 June 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. Common Stock As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 170,000,000 shares of common stock, $ 0.0001 par value per share, authorized and 16,795,673 and 12,163,673 shares issued and outstanding, respectively.

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.

A total of 1,793,000 Pre-Funded Warrants remained outstanding as of June 30, 2023. On July 5, 2023, the remaining 1,793,000 Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase common stock were exercised.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) 14. Loan and Security Agreement On March 16, 2020, the Company and Rockwell Transportation, Inc., as Borrowers, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Innovatus Life Sciences Lending Fund I, LP ("Innovatus"), as collateral agent and the lenders party thereto, pursuant to which Innovatus, as a lender, agreed to make certain term loans to the Company in the aggregate principal amount of up to $ 35.0 million (the "Term Loans"). Funding of the first $ 22.5 million tranche was completed on March 16, 2020. The Company is no longer eligible to draw on a second tranche of $ 5.0 million or a third tranche of $ 7.5 million, which were tied to the achievement of certain milestones by a specific date. Net draw down proceeds were $ 21.2 million with closing costs of $ 1.3 million. In connection with each funding of the Term Loans, the Company was required to issue to Innovatus a warrant (the “Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 3.5 % of the principal amount of the relevant Term Loan funded divided by the exercise price, which was based on the lower of (i) the volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s stock for the 5 -trading day period ending on the last trading day immediately preceding the execution of the Loan Agreement or (ii) the closing price on the last trading day immediately preceding the execution of the Loan Agreement (or for the second and third tranches only at the lower of (i) $ 18.15 per share or (ii) the volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s stock for the 5 -trading day period ending on the last trading day immediately preceding the relevant Term Loan funding). The Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and are immediately exercisable through the seventh anniversary of the applicable funding date. The number of shares of common stock for which each Warrant is exercisable and the associated exercise price are subject to certain proportional adjustments as set forth in such Warrant. In connection with the first tranche of the Term Loans, the Company issued a Warrant to Innovatus, exercisable for an aggregate of 43,388 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $ 18.15 per share. The Company evaluated the warrant under ASC 470, Debt, and recognized an additional debt discount of approximately $ 0.5 million based on the relative fair value of the base instruments and warrants. The Company calculated the fair value of the warrant using the Black-Scholes model. The Company is entitled to make interest-only payments for thirty months , or up to thirty-six months if certain conditions are met. The Term Loans will mature on March 16, 2025, and will bear interest at the greater of (i) Prime Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and (ii) 4.75 %, plus 4.00 % with an initial interest rate of 8.75 % per annum and an effective interest rate of 10.9 %. The Company has the option, under certain circumstances, to add 1.00 % of such interest rate amount to the then outstanding principal balance in lieu of paying such amount in cash. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, interest expense amounted to $ 0.3 million and $ 0.4 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, interest expense amounted to $ 0.6 million and $ 0.8 million, respectively. The Loan Agreement is secured by all assets of the Company and Rockwell Transportation, Inc. Proceeds are used for working capital purposes. The Loan Agreement contained customary representations and warranties and covenants, subject to customary carve outs, and included financial covenants related to liquidity and trailing twelve months sales of Triferic, with the latter beginning with the period ending December 31, 2020. In September 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement in which the Company, in exchange for Innovatus lowering the sales covenants, agreed to (i) prepay an aggregate principal amount of $ 7.5 million in ten installments commencing on December 1, 2021; (ii) pay an additional prepayment premium of 5 % on prepaid amounts if the Company elects to prepay all outstanding Term Loans on or before September 24, 2023 and (iii) maintain minimum liquidity of no less than $ 5.0 million if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans is greater than $ 15 million pursuant to the liquidity covenant in the Loan Agreement. On November 10, 2022, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) dated as of November 14, 2022 with Innovatus, which amended the Loan Agreement. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Company (i) prepaid an aggregate principal amount of $ 5.0 million in Term Loans in one installment on November 14, 2022; (ii) shall pay interest only payments until September 2023 at which time will resume scheduled debt payments. Additionally, the financial covenants related to the trailing twelve months sales of Triferic was replaced with a trailing 6 months revenue of our concentrates products beginning with the period ending September 30, 2022. The Company cannot assure that it can maintain compliance with the covenants under our Loan Agreement, which may result in an event of default. The Company's ability to comply with these covenants may be adversely affected by events beyond its control. If the Company is unable to comply with the covenants under the Loan Agreement, it would pursue all available cure options in order to regain compliance. However, the Company may not be able to mutually agree with Innovatus on appropriate remedies to cure a future breach of a covenant, which could give rise to an event of default. If the Company is unable to avoid an event of default, any required repayments could have an adverse effect on its liquidity. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Agreement. As of June 30, 2023, the outstanding balance of the Term Loan was $ 9.4 million, net of unamortized issuance costs and discount of $ 0.6 million. The following table reflects the schedule of principal payments on the Term Loan as of June 30, 2023 (in thousands): Principal Payments 2023 (remaining) $ 2,000 2024 6,000 2025 2,000 $ 10,000 23 ROCKWELL MEDICAL, INC.
