Sarissa Capital’s board candidates will
represent shareholders and help create value at Amarin during this
critical period
Sarissa Capital believes removing Chairman
Per Wold-Olsen from the Amarin board is in shareholders’ best
interest
Sarissa Capital Management LP (“Sarissa”) today issued the
following statement regarding Amarin Corporation plc (NASDAQ:
AMRN):
Sarissa urges Amarin shareholders to vote “FOR” change TODAY to
remake the Amarin board for shareholders at our upcoming meeting.
Given the voting logistics for the meeting, votes must be submitted
TODAY in order to be received
in time to be counted for tomorrow’s formal deadline.
IF YOU ALREADY VOTED “FOR” ALL PROPOSALS AND SUBMITTED
YOUR PROXY CARD, THERE IS NOTHING ELSE YOU NEED TO DO TO
SUPPORT SARISSA’S NOMINEES. YOU DO NOT NEED TO VOTE
AGAIN.
Shareholders have seen tremendous value destruction at the hands
of current Amarin leadership with its operational blunders and poor
capital allocation decisions. The board, led by Chairman Per
Wold-Olsen, takes no accountability and pays only lip service to
its shareholders. Instead, in its attempt to further entrench
itself, Amarin’s board has wasted significant amounts of precious
shareholders capital to keep shareholder representatives off the
board.
Sarissa is Amarin’s largest shareholder. Unlike the current
board, we have meaningful “skin in the game” and are fully aligned
with shareholders and incentivized to create value at Amarin. In
addition, our slate includes Sarissa candidates that helped turn
around The Medicines Company until its ultimate sale for nearly $10
billion. We have the qualifications and the experience to help
guide Amarin through this critical period.
We urge all shareholders to vote “FOR” the Sarissa
Nominees and “FOR” the removal of Chairman Per Wold-Olsen by
midnight (New York Time) tonight.
You can vote on the blue proxy card or the white proxy card but
if you want to fully support Sarissa, you must make sure that all
“FOR” boxes are marked on your proxy card (blue or white)
before you submit it.
If you have any questions on how to vote, we recommend that you
contact Sarissa’s proxy solicitor, D.F. King, by calling (800)
331-7024 or emailing AMRN@dfking.com.

The General Meeting of Amarin shareholders is scheduled for
February 28, 2023, BUT TO MAKE SURE YOUR VOTE COUNTS, SUBMIT
YOUR VOTE BY MIDNIGHT (NEW YORK TIME) TONIGHT.
