MrFred, Interesting observation. My first thought is obviously. If your company controls the BOD how are you not an insider.

An insider of a company, as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), is an officer, director, or 10% shareholder of a company that has inside information into the company because of their relationship to the company or with an officer, director, or principal shareholder of the company. Me thinks that if the BOD are sitting as directors because you nominated them and a number of them are officers of your company, you are by definition an insider.

LB, my "agenda" is to maximize my return. I have a lot of shares riding on this. I don't short stocks (ever), and have no interest in this board, other than gathering as much info and data on AMRN as possible (especially since it is so thinly covered by analysts). 

I spend way more time here than I would like, but I never imagined 4 years ago that we would be here today (the SP), so here I am.

Side note, I was one of the biggest LB fans back in the 80's. I grew up outside of Boston, and spent many a night watching the Big 4 spank the Lakers and Sixers. Not many teams compare to the 80's Celtics.

1. Denner is not an insider yet. He has not reached that threshold, and is not on the board. Thus he is not prohibited from shorting the stock.
2. Sarissa stated in their proxy filing with the SEC that they could employ shorting as a strategy with Amarin. It is stated in black and white.
3. I believe they (or their proxy, such as Morgan Stanley) have been shorting in order to use it as a springboard for the stock price when the time is right. Why else would there be 18M shares short almost this entire year? On 4/15/24 there were 18,190K shares short. On 12/13/24 there were 18,190K shares short. The short interest has oscillated around that number all year. Who would logically still have that exact many shares short when the stock is at 40 cents? I don't think there is malicious intent. In fact, the exact opposite - I think it is a strategic move by them. 
4. Back to Morgan Stanley - follow their pattern of AMRN holdings over the past 12 quarters, in relationship to Sarissa's AMRN holdings. It's eye-opening. 

Finally, does everyone think that driving the stock price down to 40 cents just occurred organically? I mean do people REALLY believe that? 

I'm not saying I am 100% correct. I may certainly be wrong. But for the love of god, open your eyes. Sarissa got involved in this stock when it had climbed back to nearly $9 in early 2021. No, they hadn't made a purchase yet. But they were certainly analyzing it at that point.
Do you know that a current Amarin board member was HEAVILY trading AMRN options beginning in January of 2021, WELL before Sarissa ever made a single purchase?

You all can continue to see what you want to see, but there's a whole shit-ton of activity going on behind the scenes that we are not privy to.

For significant increases in stock price, Amarin needs significant increases in earnings from the U.S...

Patented Lr Et EPA could be a way to produce those earnings.

With the previous success of the Reduce-It study, i.e.as to the safety and efficacy of the EPA drug, Vascepa, the FDA might now require only a short patient study of this new EPA drug of Amarin's...Lr Et EPA

Sarissa isn't shorting unless Denner enjoys fines and jail time. Denner's an insider with his own BOD so his hands are tied like a CEO. And it's why I like Sarissa here. Denner bought to win, and he will win in 2025, and so will the rest of us who buy and hold. Big wins! Really big wins! I'd much prefer one of you write about all the countries we're now approved in... Other than France (maybe Germany) AMRN is up for sale.

LBL, It's Good to hear from you. I totally agree with you. Please see the link below re the new rules for HF short sales. There's no way Sarissa would mess around with the stock price. They have too much on their plate, and that's not even doable with the $.50 cent stock. It would be a violation and lack of prudence on the part of the entire management team from Denner down to the last elected BOD. You know what they say about assumptions. Take care.

So for someone to "sell short" would they have to "sell shares"?

In this letter Sarissa says this:

We remain long-term shareholders and have been purchasing shares at these depressed prices, as will be detailed in tomorrow’s 13D filing. We have never sold any shares of Amarin and have only increased our position since we made the investment.

In all his accounts I believe he has 3 or 4 I could be wrong but I remember his cost was lower than 3.45 IMO I should say it was posted that his average PPS was lower and in his filing not sure what form is were he stated he using the short/long strategy I will try to find it

False positive on the stress test. There are zero issues.

We shoot, grow and fish for most of our food. That was part of the discussion with the doc. Doc said she could start eating French fries and ice cream every day and wouldn’t live long enough to block up her heart. She’s 60 years old.

I asked for evidence, not proof. You don't seem to understand the difference. Good evidence doesn't always lead to the correct conclusion, but that evidence should be the first step towards reaching a conclusion. The search for evidence is research. That takes effort.

Sleven, would you mind posting proof that Sarissa is not shorting?

Considering their statement that this is one strategy that they could employ (in their proxy statement, filed with the SEC), it is not a stretch.

Simply because you can't prove something, does not make it false.

You believe Amarin is going to prevail in their lawsuit, but have no proof of that, other than your own belief.

You thought BRAVE was going to show a positive outcome, without any proof of that, other than your own belief. 

I believe Sarissa (or their proxies) are responsible for some or all of the short interest in AMRN. They have stated they may do that. I believe them.

RMB, SLEVEN. IMO this statement that Denner has been shorting the stock does not make sensedue to the following facts:
The total number of shares traded since Jan 8, 2024 to DEC 31, 2024 was 390.960 million shares, that’s an average of 1.570 million shares traded daily. (785 thousand shares bought and sold daily).
The high of the year was $1.37 per share and the low was $0.43 with a total monthly shorted shares of 4.87% throughout the year (per Nasdaq short interest list throughout the year). So let us say Denner shorted 100 thousand shares daily(which is roughly 12 % of the average traded shares daily, not counting other institutions or retail holders shorting) and he realized a net gain of $0.94 that would give him a profit of approximately $23 million and bring his average to $3.06 from his original purchase price of $4.60.
I just don’t think that is possible and wouldn’t that expose him to numerous lawsuits?
Can you explain to me how you can state that is was shorting the stock during this all time?

John, thank you for sharing this study. From a preventive cardiology perspective, the findings reinforce EPA’s role in modulating inflammation and oxidative stress, key drivers of atherosclerosis. The downregulation of immune-related genes and upregulation of Nrf2-regulated antioxidant pathways like NQO1 align with the cardiovascular benefits seen in studies like REDUCE-IT highlighting EPA’s potential beyond lipid lowering, emphasizing its impact on plaque stabilization and immune modulation, which are critical in preventing cardiovascular events!

All excellent points.Prescription EPA is one of the most under-utilized CVOT proven,guideline recommended drugs.This is the first lipid lowering drug that the proven CVOT CV risk reduction was NOT primarily related to lipid effects(ie LDL-C/HDL-C/apo B/non HDL-c/RLP-c) but to the serum level of EPA and its myriad of pleiotropic effects which we are only just starting to understand.Its array of anti-inflammatory,anti-thrombotic,anti-oxidant and pro-resolving effects are amazing.

Last year, Amarin made a preliminary announcement of Q4 results on January 10th. It was a good quarter, and the SP jumped 32% in one day.

It will be interesting to see if this will be again be the "launching pad" for a price recovery. Announce good Q4 results. Announce commencement of share BB. Sarissa buys more (and they close their short position at the same time). Some sort of announcement related to an AG or something operational.

The next few months are going to be wild.

It's also based on lost profits, not lost revenue.

They would have to apply cost of goods sold and a factor for salesforce and marketing costs.

Hayward, The assessment of damages is not based on sales by Hikma. It's based on the revenue lost by Amarin.
True, but would be an interesting question of how that is determined. Just taking the pre generic to post generic revenue reduction is not valid as certainly the generic competition even in the non-infringing indication is real.

I imagine Amarin would argue the loss should be their hit prorated to relative size of the indications. This would be very substantial.

I imagine Hickma would argue it should Hickma's sales quantity of the infinging sales valued per AMRN's sales metrics. That would be fairly modest (though nothing to sneeze at).

Does the treble damage rule apply in a case such as this where the argument is not over the technical details of the infringement? I have no clue on that one.

rosemountbomber rosemountbomber 2 days ago
Our best and quickest route was the Marjac/North legal action but for some reason Amarin decided not to join thus giving the other side the standing get out of jail card.  These current cases, for tge time being are noise.

Regardless....... Hikma will have this potential HUGE liability as discovery starts to uncover the details of the infringement. This will not go unnoticed by a potential BP buyer of AMRN. The longer it goes and if in our favor, the liability increases..... who blinks first. Of course we won't be counting on this lawsuit as current investors to drive the share price but it is something an acquirer will be interested in.

I am with you on that one JR… the lawsuits for me are not a part of the base case. I personally think getting a new formulation in market that is patent protected has a higher likelihood of happening sooner that a final resolution of these lawsuits.

JRoon71 JRoon71 2 days ago
Sure, but what does that tell you about their confidence in this lawsuit?

This is not Hikma's first rodeo. They get sued all the time. It is literally part of their business model. They have over 800 products they sell, do nearly $3B in revenue, have a market cap of $5.5B, and I doubt they are that worried about Amarin. If they were, they would have withdrawn from selling IPE.

And even if Amarin is somehow still around in 4 or 5 years, and happens to win the appeal of the appeal, they then have a protracted fight about the damages. And there will be extensive analysis of how to arrive at "lost profits" for Amarin. And this process will drag on for years.

Look at GSK vs. Teva. Very similar case. Filed in 2014, still ongoing to this day. They're actually talking about a potential new trial. https://casetext.com/case/glaxosmithkline-llc-v-teva-pharm-us-3 . Amarin's case was only filed in 2020. How much money do you think GSK has spent on this trial? And Teva? And do you think Hikma can outlast Amarin?

The company is going to be sold long before this lawsuit ever has any impact on Amarin. A final, post-appeal decision is at least 4 years away. The only thing happening right now is lawyers getting rich.

I know others see it differently, and that is fine. I'm more concerned with Amarin's actual operations, not in a lawsuit that will likely never amount to anything meaningful for Amarin.
