Explanatory Note:

 

This Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Rockwell Medical, Inc. (the “Company”) on June 7, 2017 (the “Original Filing”). The Original Filing reported the final voting results of the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on June 1, 2017 (the “2017 Annual Meeting”). The purpose of this amendment is solely to disclose the Company’s decision regarding how frequently it will conduct future shareholder advisory votes on the compensation of its named executive officers. There are no other changes to the Original Filing.

 

Item 5.07                                           Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

As previously reported in the Original Filing, at the 2017 Annual Meeting, the shareholders recommended, by non-binding vote, that the frequency of shareholder advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers be every year as follows:

 

1 Year		2 Year		3 Year		Abstain
28,873,168		650,393		9,558,159		964,394

 

In light of these results and such other factors as the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) deemed relevant, the Board determined that the Company will hold an advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers on an annual basis until the next shareholder vote on the frequency of such advisory vote is conducted or until the Board determines that a different frequency for such advisory vote would be in the best interest of the Company’s shareholders.
