(RMTI) and September 25 Lead Plaintiff Deadline
Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP (“Scott+Scott”), a national securities and consumer rights litigation firm, is notifying

Rockwell is a biopharmaceutical company targeting end-stage renal and chronic kidney diseases. The company’s lead drug is
Triferic, an iron maintenance therapy that replaces the iron lost by patients during hemodialysis treatment.
The lawsuit alleges that defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Rockwell was
aware that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will not pursue Rockwell's proposal for separate reimbursement for
Triferic; (ii) the estimated reserves in Rockwell's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 are misstated; (iii) there was a
material weakness in Rockwell's internal control over financial reporting; (iv) consequently, Rockwell's internal control over
financial reporting was ineffective during the Class Period; (v) Robert L. Chioini, former Chief Executive Officer of Rockwell,
withheld material information regarding Triferic from Rockwell's auditor, corporate counsel and five independent directors of
Rockwell's Board; and (vi) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ statements about Rockwell’s business, operations, and
prospects were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
On May 22, 2018, Rockwell announced that Robert Chioini, Rockwell’s President and Chief Executive Officer, had been terminated
effective immediately. On this news, NASDAQ halted trading in Company stock. Upon resumption of trading on May 25, 2018, shares of
Rockwell fell $0.37 per share, or over 6%, over two consecutive trading days to close at $5.57 per share.
On June 27, 2018, Rockwell announced the resignation of its auditor, Plante & Moran, PLLC, effective immediately. The
announcement included a letter from the auditor stating that Rockwell had provided inconsistent representations to the auditor. On
this news, the price of Rockwell shares fell $0.85, over 16%, over two trading days, to close at $4.41 per share on June 28,
2018.
