          AMARIN ANNOUNCES SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL OF REVERSE STOCK SPLIT



LONDON, United Kingdom, January 17, 2008 - Amarin Corporation plc ("Amarin" or
the "Company") announces that, at a General Meeting today, its shareholders
approved a 1 for 10 reverse split of each of its Ordinary Shares.



The reverse split, comprising the consolidation of every 10 existing Ordinary

5.00pm GMT today, January 17, 2008.  The consolidated Ordinary Shares of �0.50
each will be admitted to trading on AIM and IEX at 8.00am GMT, January 18, 2008,
under the new ISIN GB00B29VL935.  Following the reverse split, there will be
14,003,237 Ordinary Shares of �0.50 each in issue.



Each American Depositary Share ("ADS") will continue to represent one Ordinary
Share following the reverse split.  Accordingly, the proposed 1 for 10 reverse
split of Ordinary Shares will have a corresponding effect on all outstanding
ADSs and the corresponding effective date for ADSs will be January 18, 2008.



Under customary Nasdaq practice, with effect from January 18, 2008, and for a
period of 20 trading days thereafter, a "D" will be appended to Amarin's Nasdaq
