10 11 TRIFERIC® FOR HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS

A PHYSIOLOGIC APPROACH TO Iron Maintenance for hemodialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease patients

Most patients on hemodialysis have sufficient iron stores • Anemia of CKD pathophysiology restricts iron bioavailability • Increased hepcidin levels prevent delivery of stored iron for erythropoiesis Triferic delivers 100% bioavailable iron, resulting in hemoglobin stabilty1-3* • Achieves iron maintenance by restoring the ~5-7mg of iron lost at every dialysis session.3 • Immediately binds to transferrin and is transported to erythroid precursor cells • Bypasses iron sequestration caused by hepcidin3 • Raises TSAT following dialysis without elevating serum ferritin levels and iron stores1-3

Triferic can be conveniently delivered via the dialysate2 Triferic is cost-effective4 Full Prescribing Information available at www.Triferic.com

Institutional Usage of Ferric Pyrophosphate Citrate in Reducing Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agents Dellafera L, Wang S, Dhanani L, Dutka P., Malone B, Masani N. Critical Care Medicine: January 2020 – Vol 49 – Issue 1 – p.551 Retrospective chart review of 100 hemodialysis Research Snapshot: Quality and Patient Safety patients in an outpatient center METHODS Before FPC After FPC  • An outpatient dialysis clinic affiliated with an academic institution performed an IRB exempt retrospective chart review study Average weekly ESA ~53 mcg ~39 mcg -26.4% (P<0.0001) • ~100 patient charts reviewed before and after they received FPC and compared the doses of ESA and IV dose iron products RESULTS Before FPC After FPC  • The same 100 pts were followed before and after implementation of FPC provided via the central loop Total IV iron replacement 30,337 mg 10,400 mg -65.7% dialysate (iron ) • In the 100 pts, there was a relative reduction in average weekly ESA dose of 26.4% Total IV iron • Total use of IV iron replacement therapy decreased replacement 303,680 mg 5,100 mg -98.2% (SFGC) • Relative reduction in IV iron was 95.4% CONCLUSIONS • FPC in an outpatient dialysis center was associated with the reduction of ESA’s and IV iron product usages. A net savings, inclusive of cost of Triferic, of >$296,000 in one fiscal year was associated with the decreased use of these agents.

Jan 2020:49(1).551. 17 ROXADUSTAT PRESENTS A NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR TRIFERIC New anemia drug expected to transform treatment & change iron requirements for dialysis patients

Roxadustat is a new approach to treatment of the anemia of CKD • A physiologic approach to anemia mgmt. with improved safety vs. ESA’s* • Expected approval in Q1 2021

Roxadustat patients will require less iron • Reduces hepcidin & increases iron binding capacity (circulating transferrin), improving bioavailability of body iron stores & reducing requirement for IV iron supplementation • Evidence presented at ASN 2020 shows a monthly iron requirement of ~52mg

Triferic may be uniquely suited to meet iron requirements of HIF-PHI patients • Triferic provides 100% bioavailable iron, bypassing hepcidin block and donating directly to transferrin • Triferic in the dialysate alone (84mg per month) may be sufficient to meet iron needs of most roxadustat treated patients eliminating the need for I.V. iron supplementation Rockwell planning on conducting Triferic Phase 4 study for adjunctive use with roxadustat • To be initiated after FDA approval of roxadustat

21 IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA IN THE HOME INFUSION SETTING A large and growing unmet medical need

❖ Why FPC in home infusion therapy? • Explosive growth – 3.2 million pts treated (+400% from 2010 to 2019)1 • Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a common co-morbidity • Management of IDA in home infusion patients is a ‘broken’ process • FPC may be uniquely suited; 100% bioavailable iron with excellent safety • Reimbursement landscape favorable (Medicare Part B) • FPC a good fit for home infusion therapy services model ❖ Total U.S. market opportunity estimated at ~$600M ❖ Clinical development is estimated to be a 27 – 40-month process

22 1. NHIA Infusion Industry Trends Report 2020. HOME INFUSION CLINICAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN Minimal safety and efficacy risk; low cost

1 Pre-IND Meeting with FDA Program allows for • Anticipated in Q3 2021 multiple data readouts 2 Phase II Observational Study over the next 3 years. • Confirm iron deficiency anemia rates and practice treatment patterns • 4-6 months

3 Phase II Dose Scheduling Study Phase II 13-18 mos. • Validate endpoints and confirm dose response • 9-12 months End of Ph II Meeting with FDA

4 Phase III Program • 200-300 patients, 1-2 pivotal trials Phase III 24 mos. • 24 months 5 PDUFA • 12 months

23 FPC FOR ACUTE HEART FAILURE

Rockwell is investigating the potential for FPC as a treatment for hospitalized acute heart failure patients. ❖ Why acute heart failure? • Over a million patients are hospitalized each year with acute decompensated heart failure • Iron deficiency a common co-morbidity in all forms of HF (50-70%) representing a significant unmet need • A significant body of evidence exists to support the use of IV iron therapy for improvement of cardiac energetics (not improvement of Hgb) • Iron uptake and clinical benefit limited by bioavailability for current IV iron products • FPC uniquely suited for hospitalized acute heart failure – 200mg of bioavailable iron can be delivered during an average 5-day hospital stay (therapeutically equivalent to over 1 gram of currently available IV iron products)

❖ A mechanistic proof of concept study would determine if 200mg of FPC over 5 days provides a sufficient influx of iron to the cardiac tissue to improve myocardial energetics and associated outcomes ❖ Company expects to hold an FDA Type C meeting in 2H 2021 to review a proposed clinical development program
