     This Amendment No. 5 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2003 with respect to the common stock, no par value (the “Common Shares”), of Rockwell Medical Technologies, Inc. (“Rockwell”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on August 12, 2003, Amendment No. 2 filed on January 23, 2004, Amendment No. 3 filed on April 22, 2005, and Amendment No. 4 filed on December 27, 2005 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”). The Schedule 13D is further amended as set forth below. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
     Item 3 is hereby amended by adding the following information:
     The Reporting Person received as compensation grants of stock options and restricted stock as described in Item 5, for which no cash consideration was paid by him. The Reporting Person paid $270,000.00 to acquire 90,000 Common Shares upon the exercise of stock options on July 13, 2007, $150,000.00 to acquire 100,000 Common Shares upon the exercise of stock options on December 2, 2008. The Reporting Person paid the exercise price from his personal funds. The exercise price due upon the exercise of stock options to acquire 160,000 Common Shares on December 10, 2009 was paid through the withholding by Rockwell of 55,468 Common Shares from the Common Shares that would have otherwise been issued upon the exercise, as provided in the 1997 Stock Option Plan and the corresponding grant agreement.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
     Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following information:
     Grants of options and restricted stock to the Reporting Person beginning in 2007 were made by the Compensation Committee of Rockwell’s board of directors under Rockwell’s 2007 Long Term Incentive Plan.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
     Item 5 is hereby amended by adding the following information:
     (a) As of the date hereof, the Reporting Person beneficially owned 2,554,716 Common Shares (including 1,733,000 Common Shares issuable upon exercise of stock options held by the Reporting Person that are exercisable currently or within 60 days), constituting approximately 13.5% of the Common Shares outstanding, based on 17,202,108 Common Shares outstanding as of February 28, 2010 (as disclosed in the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by Rockwell).
     The Reporting Person holds options to purchase 2,333,000 Common Shares as of the date hereof, 1,733,000 of which are exercisable currently or within the next 60 days, as set forth in the following table:
