Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 18, 2023, Rockwell Medical, Inc. (the “Company”) and DaVita Inc. (“DaVita”) entered into an Amended and Restated Products Purchase Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”), which amends and restates the Products Purchase Agreement, dated July 1, 2019, as amended, under which the Company supplies DaVita with certain dialysis concentrates.

Under the Amended Agreement, the Company and DaVita agreed to an increase in product pricing, effective September 1, 2023 and a one-time payment to Rockwell on or after December 1, 2023. The term of the Amended Agreement will expire on December 31, 2024. DaVita will have the right, in its sole discretion upon written notice to the Company given no later than September 30, 2024, to further extend the term through December 31, 2025. In the event of such an extension, product pricing will be increased for the extended term.

In addition, DaVita is required to provide the Company with nine-month purchasing forecasts and a commitment to purchase at least the forecasted amounts. In the event that DaVita does not meet its forecasts, it is required to pay the Company for the amount forecasted, purchase additional product, or the Company may terminate the Amended Agreement.

Upon expiration or termination of the Amended Agreement, and upon request by DaVita, the Company has agreed to provide transition services to DaVita during a transition period.

The foregoing summary of the Amended Agreement is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Amended Agreement, which the Company intends to file with its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.
