Remarks
Remarks to Table II: This amendment to the Form 4 filed by the reporting person on January 3, 2017, as amended on January 13, 2017, is being filed to report the acquisition by the reporting person of the warrants to purchase 30,000 Avadel ADSs described in footnote 7 (i.e., the final transaction listed in Table II). Such warrants were acquired by the reporting person as a result of the Merger, in exchange for warrants to purchase the same number of Flamel ADSs which were originally granted to the reporting person on August 10, 2016. Due to an administrative oversight, the reporting person did not report the acquisition of such Flamel warrants on August 10, 2016 and omitted the acquisition of these Avadel warrants from the January 3, 2017 Form 4.
