Triferic: A New Way to Treat Iron Deficiency and Anemia 2 ND GENERATION PARENTERAL IRON: 100% IMMEDIATELY BIOAVAILABLE
Triferic Platform 2nd generation parenteral iron*: 100% immediately bioavailable iron and avoids iron toxicity ▪ Platform technology that can potentially be applied for treatment of iron deficiency and anemia in a number of disease states Triferic Replaces Iron Losses by Directly Donating Iron to Transferrin for Red Blood Cell Production ▪ Current FDA-approved indication - maintain hemoglobin in HD-dependent CKD patients: infused with dialysis (dialysate) or over 3hrs IV (AVNU) • Maintains a stable hemoglobin with no increase in ferritin levels • Replaces recurring iron loss during dialysis • Safety profile similar to placebo • No increase in inflammation or oxidative stress ▪ Novel, physiologic mechanism of action - donates iron directly and immediately to transferrin for tissue utilization and red blood cell production • Is not taken up by reticuloendothelial cells first • Does not increase ferritin and hepcidin levels Modified from Brittenham GM, Chapter 34. Disorders of Iron Homeostasis: Iron Deficiency and Iron Overload. o In Hoffman R. and Furie B. eds. Hematology: Basic Principles and Practice. Saunders, 6th ed., 2013 High ferritin and hepcidin levels can increase iron storage and reduce iron uptake by transferrin • Safety profile similar to placebo - no observed risk of oxidative stress, iron overload, increased infection risk or hypersensitivity reactions *First generation I.V. iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) were introduced for clinical use in the 1980’s (beginning with Imferon (HMW iron dextran)) 7

Unmet Need in Iron Maintenance Therapy Treatment of iron deficiency anemia in dialysis patients presents challenges and risks Late Stage CKD Patients Initiate Hemodialysis ▪ Blood loss and iron sequestration are leading causes of anemia in and Are on Lifelong Treatment hemodialysis (HD) patients ▪ 5-7 mg iron loss during every HD treatment ▪ The current standard of care for anemia management requires high doses of I.V. iron, loading of iron stores, and use of erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESAs) that carry safety risks(1)(2)(3) ▪ Next generation HIF-PHI agents have safety advantages vs. ESAs but parenteral iron will still be required: ▪ In incident dialysis patients, total I.V. Fe use was less in the first six months but was the same after six months(4) (1) Macdougall IC, Geisser P. Use of intravenous iron supplementation in chronic kidney disease: an update.

Triferic Efficacy: Phase 3 Clinical Trials In controlled trials, Triferic maintained hemoglobin for 44 weeks without the need for supplemental I.V. iron and without increasing iron stores • CRUISE 1 & CRUISE 2 Clinical Trials1 ◦ 292 patients on Triferic ◦ 296 patients on Placebo ◦ Duration of 48 weeks • Met primary endpoint of significantly decreasing the mean change from baseline of hemoglobin concentrations without I.V. Iron supplementation • Met secondary endpoint of significantly decreasing the mean change from baseline of serum ferritin level • Triferic replaces iron losses, maintains Hgb concentrations, does not increase iron stores and exhibits a safety profile similar to placebo 1) Fishbane SN, Singh AK, Cournoyer SH, et al.

Triferic Pharmacoeconomic Benefits Triferic ESA-Sparing PRIME Study* ▪ Significant ESA reduction vs. placebo in a double-blind PRIME Study: ESA Use and Hemoglobin Levels clinical study • 35% ESA reduction in Triferic® patients compared to placebo arm at 9 months • 74% ESA reduction in ESA-hyporesponsive patients compared to placebo arm at 9 months • Hemoglobin level was maintained throughout the study ▪ Significant I.V. iron reduction • 51% less traditional I.V. Iron use than placebo in Triferic® patients • On average, only 5% of patients per month required a ‘rescue’ dose of I.V. iron ▪ No increase in ferritin levels / iron stores * “Ferric pyrophosphate citrate administered via dialysate reduces erythropoiesis-stimulating agent use and maintains hemoglobin in hemodialysis patients.” Gupta et al. - Kidney International – 2015 Triferic® is indicated for iron replacement and hemoglobin maintenance and ESA reduction is not part of the label. 12
Real World Data: Single Site Observational Clinic utilizing Triferic saw IV iron by 74%, ESA Utilization by 23% and Hgb maintained 73.7% reduction in IV iron per patient/week 23.2% reduction in ESA equivalents per patient/week compared to baseline 13
Real World Data: Overall Clinical Impact Meaningful outcomes in hospitalizations and missed treatments (USRDS database) • A reduction of 17.7% and 45.5% in missed treatments for 5th and 6th quarters following Triferic introduction • Mortality rates reduced 58% • Infectious hospital admission reduced 73%; infection-related hospital days reduced 82% Rates for all cause and infection-related hospitalization, and mortality for HHD patients, 2016-17.* # of patient- Inpatient Infectious Deaths Year years (PY) at Hospitalizations days hospitalizations Infectious inpatient per 1,000 risk PPY PPY PPY days PPY PY Facility using Triferic on 1/1/2017 2016 49 2.85 21.7 0.49 3.86 101 2017 48 1.41 9.25 0.13 0.71 42.0 All Other US Dialysis Facilities 2016 427057 2.12 16.0 0.35 3.05 164 2017 436247 2.12 16.1 0.33 2.96 165 *Abstract submitted and under consideration for inclusion in ASN 2020 annual congress. 14

New Indication Opportunities for FPC • Evaluated multiple potential new indication opportunities for FPC and treatment of iron deficiency and/or anemia • FPC as an iron therapeutic has the potential to provide benefit in multiple disease states • Based on analysis of development considerations, economics and pricing, and regimen ergonomics (continuous I.V. infusion or multiple bolus doses) – two leading opportunities have been identified: • FPC for home infusion in patients requiring parenteral nutrition • Currently iron requirements can only be met with in-office I.V. iron infusion visit (due to hypersensitivity risk), whereas FPC could be safely administered via an infusion pump at home • FPC to improve cardiac function in hospitalized acute congestive heart failure patients • Parenteral IONP studies have consistently demonstrated meaningful benefit in CHF in the outpatient setting; however release of iron from the liver is likely to be too slow to produce a benefit in hospital • Because of the immediate bioavailability of iron, FPC may lead to improved function in a hospitalized patient (average LOS ~5 days) 23
Rockwell: Positioned for Growth • Triferic is a novel iron replacement therapeutic – delivers 100% immediately bioavailable iron with a safety profile similar to placebo • Launched Dialysate Triferic and gained FDA approval for Triferic AVNU • Building on long-established existing relationships with other leaders in dialysis: Baxter, DaVita • Stepwise plan to establish Triferic as the new standard for iron replacement therapy in dialysis • Poised to leverage opportunities with new indications for FPC • Rockwell is planning Management/KOL call on new program indications for later this year NASDAQ: RMTI 24
