Remarks
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 (i) report the disposition by the reporting person of the 15,000 Flamel ADS beneficially owned (i.e., the final transaction listed in Table I) on September 22, 2016 for $13.34 per ADS, and (ii) report the acquisition by the reporting person of the warrants to purchase 35,468 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 previously report (i) the disposition of the 15,000 Flamel ADSs on September 22, 2016, (ii) the acquisition of the 35,468 Flamel warrants on August 10, 2016, and (iii) the acquisition of the 35,468 Avadel warrants as a result of the Merger. As a result of this amendment, the remarks to Table I will state as follows: No non-derivative securities are beneficially owned.
