Rockwell Medical (RMTI; NASDAQ) receiving $15 million in funding
and having three new Directors with successful experience and
worldwide global, financial, and strategic contacts replace

ROCKWELL OFFER.
MRAG is backed by Canadian, UAE based
businessman Khurram Shroff, who is an award- winning, global
banking and finance leader, featured in the prestigious list of the
“Top 100 Most Powerful and Influential Muslims in Great Britain and
the World” by Power100. Mr. Shroff, an energetic entrepreneur with
diverse interests has turned his attention to bringing the finest
in global bio-pharma expertise to the Middle and Far East,
beginning with an initiative that seeks to address a growing
regional need for end-stage kidney disease management.
MRAG has proposed funding of USD15 million, as
well as new directors for Rockwell Medical Inc., in a bid to
restructure and reinvigorate the company. Mr. Shroff believes that
MRAG and its advisers can bring new opportunities to the company,
both in terms of an expansion of its business interests and in
terms of finance. Mr. Shroff believes that the funding offered by
MRAG will empower Rockwell to make great strides into huge, new
markets which lay beyond those currently being considered and
serviced.
Mr. Shroff is driving an initiative to introduce
much needed, state of the art, dialysis solutions and expertise in
the Middle East and Far East markets, where there is growing
demand. According to the Global Kidney Health Atlas, 14.5 million
people will require treatment for end-stage kidney disease
worldwide by 2030, with such conditions also emerging as a major
healthcare concern in the Middle and Far East. A substantive effect
of MRAG’s offer of equity funding to RMTI, made on February 25,
2020, will be the introduction of appropriate healthcare
innovations to the Middle and Far East market that target current
needs and future projections.
MRAG’s advisors include:
- Dr. Dominic Man-Kit Lam (-founder
of the Hong Kong Institute of Biotechnology, former Assistant
Professor at Harvard Medical School, former Professor of
Biotechnology, Cell Biology and Ophthalmology at Baylor College of
Medicine, Houston, Texas and currently the Chairman and Chief
Biomedical Officer of Rejuve Longevity Network;
- Dr. Reinhard R. Glück (-President
of the Swiss Biotech Association, Chief Scientific Officer of Berna
Biotech Ltd, Berne, Switzerland, President of Etna Biotech Srl,
Catania, Sicily, Executive Vice President R&D, Vaccine
Discovery, Crucell, Scientific Advisor of Redbiotech, Zurich,
Switzerland; and Chief Scientific Officer, Vaccines, Cadila
Healthcare (Zydus);
- Mr. Arthur S. Reynold (-a former
Chairman of the Board of ThermoEnergy Corporation, who has more
than 35 years’ experience raising capital and whose career included
working for W.R. Grace and Co., which sold National Medical Care,
the world's largest operator of kidney disease treatment centers in
1996, to Fresenius A.G. for $4.4 billion);
- Mr. Markus Müller (-a member of the
Board of Directors of Arundel AG, a Swiss corporation whose shares
are listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange and whose Valor Symbol is:
ARON. The Arundel Group provides specialist investment banking
services to public and private companies. It has offices in Zurich,
London, New York and Mauritius);
- Mr. Numair Ali Osman (-a
former Chief Operating Officer of BioVance, a contract
research organization for UK-based pharmaceutical companies, a
former CEO of Hye Noon Technologies which provided IT products and
solutions to the pharmaceutical sector and Head of Corporate
Affairs for Pharmatec, a contract manufacturer for multinational
pharmaceutical companies); and
- Mr. Peter Kaiser (-a Swiss
Financial Analyst & Portfolio Manager as well as Certified
International Investment Analyst who has headed up various fund
management and administration companies, including acting as head
of fund management at a major Liechtenstein bank).
MRAG has nominated Mr. Khurram Shroff, Mr.
Arthur S. Reynolds and Mr. Markus Müller for election as directors
at the Rockwell annual shareholder meeting and believes that they
have much more to offer Rockwell than the directors currently on
the Board.
Mr. Khurram Shroff, General Partner of MRAG
stated: “Along with our generous offer to fund Rockwell with $15
million, we have filed our slate of three high-quality directors
with Rockwell Medical and, as confirmed by Rockwell management via
their written correspondence, we met all the requirements of
demonstrating our share ownership in the allotted time 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,” Mr. Shroff added, “Other than
director Ravich, we do not believe that the directors of Rockwell
have used one dollar of their own to buy shares in Rockwell. Not
only is MRAG willing to invest significant sums into Rockwell to
transform our vision for the company into a reality, but advisers
of MRAG have also personally invested monies and bought shares in
the company. I believe that this demonstrates our genuine
motivation and sincere long-term intentions with regard to
Rockwell.”
