EXPLANATORY NOTE

Amarin Corporation plc (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A (the “Amendment”) to amend its Current Report on Form 8-K, originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2025 (the “Original 8-K”) for the sole purpose of supplementing Item 5.02 of the Original 8-K to include additional disclosure regarding Board of Directors (the “Board”) committee assignments. No other revisions have been made to the Original 8-K, and other than as mentioned in the foregoing sentence, this Amendment does not amend, update, or change any other items or disclosures contained in the Original 8-K.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

As previously reported in the Original 8-K, the Board appointed Michael Torok (“Mr. Torok”) as a new non-employee director of the Company, effective on April 4, 2025. The Board appointed Mr. Torok to serve as a member of the Remuneration Committee effective July 1, 2025.

As a result of shareholders’ failure to renew the pre-emption disapplication that would have allowed the board of directors to allot approximately 10% of the existing issued share capital of the Company without such allotment being subject to statutory pre-emption rights and the resulting inability to make equity grants to non-employee directors under the Company’s existing non-employee director compensation policy, in addition to the customary cash retainer, Mr. Torok will receive a restricted cash award of $175,000 in lieu of the annual equity award he would otherwise have received in 2025 as a new director, which award will vest and be payable on the date of the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders subject to his continued board service through such date. In addition, assuming a waiver of the pre-emptive rights is approved at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Mr. Torok will also receive an initial equity award with a grant date fair value of $262,500, split 75% options and 25% restricted stock units, vesting over three years measured from his original board start date. In the event Mr. Torok’s board service terminates for any reason prior to the grant of the initial equity award (other than on account of an involuntary termination for “cause”), any portion of the award that would have been vested based on his board service through the date of termination will be settled in cash.
