Sarissa: Add Directors and Remove Chairman of Amarin

 Sarissa Capital Management LP ("Sarissa") today made the following statement on Amarin Corporation plc (NASDAQ: AMRN):

At the last shareholder meeting, the shareholders, the owners of the company, loudly expressed their lack of faith in the board and management. Sarissa sought to place shareholder representatives on the board and engaged with the company in what turned out to be months of simply lip service by the board, led by its Chairman Per Wold-Olsen. Despite Sarissa having a track record of creating significant shareholder value in healthcare companies, including those with cardiovascular drugs such as The Medicines Company, Amarin’s board rejected adding any shareholder representatives to the board in favor of their own candidates, including today’s addition of a board candidate without any input from Sarissa, Amarin’s largest shareholder.
