I hope Denner holds a Press Conference. He needs to solidify his position and provide some direction. Make his COB selection, announce any changes in management.
This would provide some impetus to our floundering stock price.
Karim has to go as well. He’s been a willing party to all of this. He could have stopped all of these shenanigans.
He’s the CEO for goodness sakes!!!
Thanks BRB; impressive Delta. A landslide victory.
Someone else mentioned Puerto Rico. KM said Puerto Rico was another International Market? Is he kidding or what? Puerto Rico might as well be the 51st state.
Heck Malta would've been a better choice of words. What about Egypt his home country? Are they not deserving of Vascepa?
We kindly refer to Adam Feuerstein, as Adam Fartstain.
Hope they put him in handcuffs and send him to prison where he can entertain his friends.
He deserves punishment for every dirt article he's ever written about good company's.
Love it Ramfan. I kind of wish the State Department would revoke his work Visa or Passport or whatever it is that allows him work in the United States.
I'm sure Denner is doing triage right now. Don't know if he can but perhaps revoking all these payouts.
I just sent this to Amarin Investor Relations and Media Contact; We'll see if they respond.
So, when is Amarin going to remove the negative PRs about Sarissa since Sarissa has now won the Proxy Vote?
Also, has Per Wold Olsen left the premises?
No way Jose'.... :D) I'd never hear the end of it.
next time when I pop a Blue Pill and start feeling like crap, I'll pull out my BP cuff and see what it reads. I'll bet it'll read high. My normal BP is between 130 - 150/70 or thereabouts.
As John Wayne would say; "I don't trust him as far as I could throw him."
Get rid of the Bozo. We were successful in removing Per Wold Olsen (the money grubbing leech), now it's Karim's turn to sing.
I don't know how often you use Viagra, but the side effects in my case are quite profound.
I wouldn't recommend it unless someone is in good cardiac health. Just about every time I've taken it (generic version), I get a headache and my BP is pounding.
I can't speak for everyone, I just know I don't like it for that reason. It works, but you pay for it sooner than later.
Viagra is made by Pfizer (apologies), I thought it was a Eli Lily med.?
My money is still on Novartis. Unless of course there's a bidding war?
I also like the idea of a cash/stock transaction. What are your thoughts?
RobinF; cheers to you and all the shareholders who voted “Blue.”
We deserve this win.
Be careful when you say “Most People?”
If you bought at 1.12 then what?
Understand, some folks are underwater, not all.
All I’m saying is, once the market digests this Proxy Win, then things will settle down a bit.
If you don’t have the Huevos to sell into strength then I don’t know what to tell you?
That’s the crux of it…do I sell and wait for a retracement? Or do I hold and wait for the Buyout? Which will happen when?
Yes, I was underwater on a lot of my shares. I sold and bought back cheaper and pocketed some money. I still have as many shares as I had before?
LBL; agreed, I’d vote for Diane Sullivan for COB…??
Not a bad move to take some profits. A little bit early however. Give it a couple days more perhaps then sell? Of course in this soft market, take the money and wait it out.
Thanks Lizzy; I’m curious as to actual vote tally?
YAHOO!!! We win!
Lizzy; agree, I think Denner does exactly that. Think about this, if you'd never met Karim Mikhail before and he was trying to sell you something, would you buy whatever he was selling?
I think Karim should stick to what he is good at, building more "Shawarma Shops."
Mooken-Tooken. Get a free Filafel with every Gyro sandwich.
A new twist on RMDs (Required Minimum Distribution). A new law going into effect Secure Act 2.0
https://www.lordabbett.com/en-us/financial-advisor/insights/retirement-planning/secure-act-2-0--rmd-changes-for-2023-and-beyond.html#:~:text=Required%20minimum%20distributions%20pushed%20to,or%20after%20January%201%2C%202023.
How I plan on getting around this is quite simple; especially if one controls their own stock trading. Buy low, sell high (take profits), then buy low again and maintain the same number of shares as previous. Example; Say my IRA Rollover account is worth $500k. I have to withdraw 4% annually (RMD) beginning at age 73. 4% of $500k = $20K. No problemo... I sell 10k shares of stock in company ABC for $5 a share ($50k), buy back company ABC at $3 a share, I pocket the $20K and take my annual distribution satisfying my RMD requirements.
Of course, if I'm in Punta Cunta getting a sunburn and voting my Amarin shares against removing Per Wold Olsen then what can I say? The stock market is like fishing, one has to be patient and be smarter than the fish.

Thanks RAF;
TTE; at times I can be skeptical… it’s okay really. Perhaps, perhaps not. Your right, my timing wasn’t very good.
With the remaining cash $300M, and the stock price at such a pitiful valuation, an equity offering would crater shares.
Hopefully, this will be an easy “flip” for Denner.
I’m so totally ready to move on.
Homebrew; I would say not this year. Denner has to see the book’s first, then make some major changes. I wouldn’t put it past him to do a stock offering to right the ship. Advertising? File lawsuits against Generics? It’s quite obvious Amarin’s settlement against HealthNet was a waste of time. What really needed to happen was for Amarin to continue to trial against HealthNet. Too little traction, too late I’m afraid. I thought we’d see a buyout in 6 to 12 months, now I’m not so sure. With all the shenanigans going on, I wouldn’t be surprised if Amarin management files a lawsuit against Sarissa. Using our money?
Rose; There wasn't a remove button for this Private message. It was either Archive or File and the checkbox. Thanks
To any Board Moderators; I was sent a private message, I'm not able to delete it from my Mailbox? How do I go about deleting a nonsense message. It's just a phishing message. I have no idea what they were referring to?

DAR; I’m on the Humana Medicare Advantage Plan and 90 day supply of V is $90. Nice thing about Medicare Advantage is that now my dental and vision is covered. Humana throws in Gym membership as an additional option.
Rose; be careful of the Catamaran excursions and the Rum punch they serve with the Lobster tail. I got so drunk in St Johns Virgin Islands, my wife had to physically carry me back to the ship.
Zip; hindsight is a great thing…ain’t it? I think it would have required a Genius to hit all the points you made. Not in JT’s wheelhouse I’m afraid.
Duke; I agree with your assessment of Vascepa being tasteless. I happened to have bit into one, I didn’t taste anything funky or fishy. I’ve never even seen GV.
I highly doubt dmiller, I’ve never experienced a broken capsule of Vascepa ever! Unless it was in an yet unopened bottle (sealed)? And sat on the shelf for months?
north; thanks for the articles; Found this on IHUB Amylin Board, from July 2012.

Appears they liked their glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) franchise (Diabetes) medication.
Wait until the market gets it's hands on Vascepa. There really hasn't been much of any flag waving or Marching Bands playing Vascepa's tune.
Would be great to get $31 a share. I figure now I can trade my AMRN shares now that the voting is done. Not today however, one more week and we should know the results.
Lizzy, ever watch a Championship football or basketball game. The winner always has the baseball caps with their team names on them already.
I’ll bet Sarissa already has a PR prepared or even Amarin (heaven forbid)..:D(
All they’ll need is to plug in the numbers, add a few names….
Sorry Izzy and Bird; We'll know by how the stock price reacts on the morning of the 28th. Institutional investors will know for sure. You can bet if Sarissa is successful then they'll put out a PR. Then it's either a pump and dump or "to the moon Alice."
February 28th is a Tuesday. Mark your calendars.
Apologies; BRAVE STUDY: The goal of the BRAVE study is to find out if a prescription strength dose of fish oil (Vascepa) can stop or delay early brain changes associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
Great story Rose; Like the Movie "How It Ends." the gas station scene with Forest Whitaker.
There's all kinds of scams out there too. Offerup, Craigslist,
Random thoughts today; trying to stay focused on why we are here and why we're invested in Amarin. What a wonderful drug we have, yet Amarin Management has relatively given up on the US market. They refuse to do anything constructive. I really think they don't know what to do quite frankly. Vascepa needs to be in the hands of someone who can and will exploit the uses for this wonderful drug.
Mitigate Clinical Trial: Brief Summary:
MITIGATE is a prospective, open-label, parallel-group, randomized, pragmatic clinical trial. The MITIGATE Study has been designed to evaluate the real-world clinical effectiveness of pre-treatment with icosapent ethyl (IPE), also known as Vascepa®, compared to usual standard of care to prevent and reduce the sequelae of laboratory-confirmed viral upper respiratory infection (URI)-related (i.e., COVID-19, influenza, and other known viral respiratory pathogens) morbidity and mortality in a high-risk cohort of adults with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Status?
Effects COVID-19 had on world population; Around 7.46 million excess deaths occurred on average in both 2020 and 2021, leading to nearly 15 million excess deaths over the two-year period. Excess deaths measure the difference between the number of actual deaths and the number of deaths that would have been expected had the pandemic not occurred.
Brave Clinical Trial:Brief Summary:
This is an open-label, placebo run-in study to investigate the genetic and biomedical predictors of blood pressure response to bisoprolol. After informed consent is obtained, subjects will be withdrawn from previous antihypertensive therapy and given placebo for at least 2 weeks. Compliance will be assessed using pill counting, and any subject will a compliance less than 80% during the placebo run-in period will be excluded from the study. Bisoprolol 2.5 mg will be given once daily for 6 weeks. At baseline and after 6 weeks on bisoprolol 2.5 mg the clinic sitting blood pressure, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (if the patient is willing to do this), clinical characteristics and biochemical profile will be measured. Central aortic blood pressure will be measured with the A-PULSE device at baseline and after 6 weeks treatment.
After completing 6 weeks treatment with bisoprolol 2.5 mg daily, the patient will continue treatment with bisoprolol for a total of 24 weeks unless there is any adverse event that requires discontinuation of bisoprolol.Status?
Alzheimer's impact on the world. Worldwide, at least 50 million people are believed to be living with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias. According to the United Nations, that is more than the population of Colombia. If breakthroughs are not discovered, rates could exceed 152 million by 2050.
WHAT IS FIBROMYALGIA?
Fibromyalgia is a condition that causes ongoing pain throughout the body. It's characterized by numerous tender points all over the body. Symptoms of Fibro include muscle and joint stiffness, depression, anxiety, sleep problems, fatigue, brain fog, memory issues, headaches, numbness/tingling in extremities and digestive issues. Central sensitization is thought to be the primary mechanism involved. This is where the central nervous system gets regulated into a persistent state of high reactivity which can create extreme pain even with minimal stimulus.
Abstract: Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic musculoskeletal disorder of unknown etiology that affects up to 5.0% of the world population (8 Billion or approx. 400 Million people are afflicted with Fibromyalgia). It has a high female predominance, between 80 and 96%. Due to the low number of diagnosed men, research work has focused mainly on women. So, these figures did not include all men.
Top four treatments for Fibromyalgia; Painkillers, Muscle relaxants, Anti-depressants (cannabis), Sleeping pills.....

Excessive confidence yes. But don’t forget this is Amarin Management we’re facing.
They just can’t get out of their own way fast enough.
Think of it this way, we’re all Firefighters and there’s a child on the 5th floor and the building is on fire. Who’s going to beat me up the LADDER?
What’s the Point Spread? Vegas odds say Sarissa by 120M votes. Anything less and I lose…my personal bet.
Last vote was about 180 - 190M range.
This time… much bigger turnout. I would venture to guess about the turnout this time between 250M - 300M.
Final tally, no missing ballots or hanging chads….
Sarissa Wins..Topples the Regime;
210M FOR
40M AGAINST
81% of the votes
Raf; I especially like it when Authors of such articles anonymously post such garbage. It's like there's no credibility to what they wrote at all. Unlike our brainwashed media, who really believe what they write is the "truth and nothing but the truth so help me GOD!"
Incredible,
Setup my mail order account with CenterWell, associated with Humana. Getting Vascepa $90 for 90 days. That’s $360 per year, less money than previously under regular Medicare Part D and BCBS supplemental plans.
Plus no more additional premiums (Supplemental Plans) with Medicare Advantage.
Look dudettes; You vote your shares your way, in the reality of it, your position doesn’t mean squat anyway. What’s incredible is people don’t understand the workings of a well run company and the BODs role. Starting with the Chairman.
The Better quality Chairman listen to their shareholders. In PWO case, he’s a cowboy doing what he wants and ignoring the shareholders.
Case in point; Go research Disney and Bob Iger’s return.
Nuff said,
