Explanation of responses
- F1The Ordinary Shares may be represented by American Depositary Shares, each of which currently represents one Ordinary Share.
- F2On January 8, 2014, the Reporting Person was granted 19,500 restricted stock units ("RSUs") under the Amarin Corporation plc 2011 Stock Incentive Plan. These RSUs vest in three equal annual installments on each of January 31, 2015, January 31, 2016 and January 31, 2017. The first vesting event occured on January 31, 2015. Upon vesting of the RSUs, the Reporting Person had the option to have the Issuer withhold shares from the total number of shares delivered in respect of withholding taxes due upon such vesting. Instead, the Reporting Person elected to pay withholding taxes to the Issuer in cash and receive the full number of shares vested.
