Dear Shareholder,
At the upcoming General Meeting on February 28, 2023, Sarissa
Capital Management is attempting to remove our newly appointed
Board Chair, Per Wold-Olsen, and nearly double the size of the
Amarin Board with an underqualified slate of seven nominees. This
change would dramatically impede momentum that is underway and
significantly risk the short- and long-term value of your
investment.
Your Board and management team are actively executing a
thoughtful and practical strategic plan designed to create value
now. This is a NEW Amarin with a NEW Board, a NEW leadership team
and a NEW strategy.
We urge you to vote “AGAINST” Sarissa’s harmful proposals on
the WHITE proxy card.
Please follow the instructions on the enclosed
WHITE proxy card and vote by telephone,
internet or mail. For ADS holders, the deadline to submit your vote
is 3 PM GMT (10 AM ET) February 22, 2023, and for holders of
ordinary shares, the deadline is 3 PM GMT (10 AM ET)
February 24, 2023.
Scan this QR code to hear directly from our Board of Directors
about the opportunity we see for Amarin and why you should vote
AGAINST Sarissa’s proposals. We also encourage you to submit your
questions and we will answer the most frequently asked questions in
the coming weeks.
