Riddle me this Batman....so, some of the people buying shares the last 2 weeks sold on Monday & Tuesday?
I'm assuming they don't give a rat about the Proxy vote? Or they voted then sold their shares? Or the shares were never voted? How are these shares accounted for in the final tally? Probably they will be uncounted shares is my guess.

Unbelievable, I’m so glad I’m not a Twitterholic. These people need a life and a job.
sts; so how did you find out you had COVID? Doctor? If so, they should have prescribed you PAXLOVID. You would have started feeling better in a day or so.
Also Albuterol inhaler worked wonders.
Sounds like it’s all over now. I used to get my Vascepa through CVS, because originally I got it filled at Walgreens. They miraculously didn’t have V in stock anywhere, so I switched.
Did you try and request a 100 day script from your doctor. Problem there is some insurance companies won’t cover 100 day scripts.
Another trick I did was made sure I got my 4th script filled before December 31st. So, I have enough V until April.
Sorry to hear about your troubles with CVS.
Did you vote yet?
Actually Swing, it was early 2023. They were still in their pajamas in December 2022.
Who? What? This is the Olsen residence, who's calling me at this hour? :D) Oh hello Karim? Merry Christmas, what? You just got a call from Sarissa Capital? Something about a Proxy vote? Call me later when I'm up and about.
Friggin' shareholders
So they say, talk is cheap. It's too little too late for them. They should have listened a couple years ago.
Denner on the other hand will probably be more communicative with shareholders I would imagine.
$24.50, He sells to Novartis for $10B. Unless there's a bidding war?
Birdbrain; Since you mentioned it, did your professor ever present to you what the Stockholm Syndrome is or was?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome
Sounds like you missed class that day. Or it was so long ago you don't remember? Like any investor would Denner wants to gain control for sure, but he also wants to improve the company's Balance sheet. Wouldn't you if you were him. He's got a lot of skin in the game.
He's not a Warren Buffett, but he definitely has had a winning strategy for companies he's been involved with in the past. For those of us who've been here way too long, Denner is a welcome sign of relief for the poor management of this great product. If you haven't taken the time to read his strategy (makes sense) then you should. His strategy is basically make Vascepa more affordable for your customers "bottom-line." The cats out of the bag.
Sleven, I disagree with your statement that Denner wanted to lose those seats. Recall that Amarin drug it's feet and at the last moment voted against Denners 2 candidates. Denner at the time was Amrains largest shareholder and Amarin couldn't "throw him a bone?", In May 2022 Denner made his choice to abstain in protest. Still nothing forthcoming from Amarin management? Really?
Are you voting against all of Denners nominees? Any proposals you're For besides removal of PWO? You vote your conscientious....I guess?
I thought you said you were voting to toss out Per Wold Olsen? Are you not?
Monk; Raf is right, I just learned that emails can be compromised unless you setup a 2 step authentication. I know we live in uncertain times. Best to be safe.
DAR; don’t assume anything, make sure you receive a confirmation of your vote from your brokerage. Usually through an email. If you don’t see one you should call and ask.
GLTY
Ammar; Most likely, but after the vote maybe? "Watcha gonna do when they come for you...Bad Boys, bad boys...."
Ammarmalhas; Spot-On, the DF King rep told me the same thing. Do not Vote the White Card, regardless of how the proposals match. This is a dirty trick by Amarin's legal team, a play on words.
I got mine from E*trade;
https://east.proxyvote.com/pv/agnfwd/en_us;jsessionid=0000WTR0FS5gS6SpKqFvX5qSUg-:-1.
first of three confirmations.
Great! did you make sure it said Sarissa and Blue Card on the top page? No need to respond. This board is on auto-pilot
Mainstreet; I just got off the phone with DF KING. The person I talked to said that if you voted the White Card regardless of how you voted (FOR, AGAINST, ABSTAIN) you voted for Amarin. This is the God's honest truth. So, vote the BLUE CARD only. She said that even though the proposals look the same, they're not the same....Wow! Amarin's hired some sneaky attorneys.
I also told her that ProxyVote.com didn't count my Blue Card Control number votes from last week. No comment.
GLTY,
Nuke
Well, if it isn't Tweedle Dee YOU! and Tweedle Dumber, "THE CANES" the Numbskull brothers. Do you share the same brain cell? WOKE Jokes
Morning Main: say listen, I would re-verify the status of your voting? I was just emailed the Blue Proxy by E*Trade and guess what? ProxyVote.com didn't count my voting for two of my accounts (Control numbers). These accounts held most of my shares too.
I'm glad I verified and re-voted again through the E*Trade website. E*Trade sent me six (6) Proxy's three (3) accounts (White/Blue). I made sure I voted the Blue Card. Maybe ProxyVote.com isn't our friend after all. I'm going to call DF King and let them know as well.
Good luck to everyone,
Nuke
Hello? Has anyone gone to Sarissa's 14A? There's a Blue Proxy Card (Official) attached at the end of the 14A. You figure out what you need to do?
Hello: Has anyone gone to Sarissa's 14A? There's a Blue Proxy Card (Official) attached at the end of the 14A. You figure out what you need to do?
I voted my shares last week and received an "Unsolicited Proxy" (Sarissa's Proxy) from my brokerage.
What I find amazing is people are relying on someone else (Sarissa & DF King) to take care of business. If I was running a business and I needed something to run my business don't you think I'd make every effort to get what I needed? Particularly if another party was delaying me from getting what I need?
For those who didn't see it, there's a Blue Proxy card attached to Sarissa's 14A (very end of the attached document). Who's to say, you couldn't print off these pages and mail the proxy in yourselves? It's title is the Blue Proxy card. It looks pretty official to me. Print it off, get your signature notarized and send it. They even provide you an address where to send the proxy. Let them find out who you are, send DF King a signed original with your number of shares held, brokerage name account numbers xxxxxx1234. Let those being paid verify your accounts.
Address for lodgment of Proxies:

Canes;
1) The Sarrisa proxy is being mailed out tomorrow. Check is in the Mail
2) Shareholders who are set up to receive proxy mailings electronically will receive email notification which will include their control number and a link to the voting platform (e.g. www.proxyvote.com). And the date this will happen is....????
What happened to making people accountable, including your Broker where the your shares are?
Zip; that’s 2 weeks from tomorrow, Midnight on February 21st
I already ordered my Mercedes. Minimum of $16. That’s actually the starting bid price. Now, go vote them Char’s
Yeahaaa!
Well Darwin, why not take your head out of you know where and get to voting. "Get er dun", Now where did I put my teeth.....?
mrmainstreet; No need to respond. What I'm witnessing is incredible, the level of stupidity sometimes on this board baffles the mind. Sometimes the board can be an incredible resource, but sometimes, like now with this White Card/ Blue Card BS it's amazing, just amazing...... :D(
I side with you MRM, human beings can take something relatively simple and make it into Mt. Everest.
Really folks, please sit back read every post and you should get an understanding. If you don't Get it by now you never will. You're like a bunch of teenagers on a bus.
Some are going to just sit there and wait for the proxy in the mail? You're kidding right? Some are going to wait on their brokers to send them the proxy online. Some are not going to take the initiative to insist that their brokers provide them the control numbers, really? Some are afraid to vote because of a simple Proxy card? DJ King said use the Blue Card? Did you ever ask them why? Does anyone have a clue? I had no problems voting, yet all I hear is whining, really? Wow
Pep; Please Read My Post; Check your broker again, the Sarissa Proxy is out. If that is your absolute drop dead opinion that it's not is a false assumption.
Voting the White card and doing what Mainstreet did is really okay. You can vote the White Card just mark all of your Proposals as FOR opposite of what Amarin wants.
The ProxyVote.com website is an unbiased representative for the voting. Don't think for a minute that DJ King & Co (Sarissa's watchdog) won't be all over this voting thing.
I would say, if your broker doesn't know or can't get you the Unsolicited Control Number for Sarissa's Proxy then I suggest you talk to a supervisor or better yet fire your broker at your first opportunity. Half the time when you call and talk to someone, they're inexperienced or don't know, so you need to take charge and take it higher.
I'm so glad I'm with E*Trade, maybe because they hire better more knowledgeable people. I'm really surprised that most comments I've heard today are complaining about their brokerages not having the Blue Proxy or Control numbers, UNREAL. I got my control numbers just fine.
I also wouldn't wait around complaining about not having the control numbers for the Sarissa Proxy. Time is of the essence if you want to vote your shares. Lots of posters are saying to wait a week or two so things get ironed out, that's total nonsense. If you have access to the White Card by all means use it, just vote FOR all Proposals. Don't wait for the mail to cast your votes.
Wow! That's cold... My dogs are wussies compared to yours. It gets into the mid teens here and my dogs can't wait for me to let them inside. I let them out so they can do their duty then they come running back inside. One's a malamute too.... :D)
I'm short on Posts (one left for the day), so....
Ramfan: You should move to AZ and get closer to your Rams (LA). You might not be able to afford a house in LA, but Phoenix is still reasonable. Hot as hell summers, but no shoveling snow. If you want to see snow you drive 145 miles north to Flagstaff. easy-peazy, you just need to put up with I-17 two lane freeway through the mountains.
vas2; yes voting FOR gets the same result and yes the wording on Amarin BOD supported proxy was confusing. I made sure I used the Unsolicited Amarin BOD proxy, which my broker didn't have until I called them today. There is no White/Blue color designation anywhere. You just have to realize the differences between the recommendation verbiage. Sarissa's is simpler; Recommendation; For, you vote For easy-peazy
I'd take Lizzy's advice however and vote only using the "Unsolicited" Proxy card, this is what everyone is calling the BLUE CARD. You should have gotten an Unsolicited Control number from your broker. I don't think Proxies are coming by mail? There may not be enough time for that since Amarin BOD moved up the deadline to February 21st.
Thank god there's an unbiased Proxy Voting website ie. ProxyVote.com. I can't imagine voting by any other means. If there's any impropriety going on it would be caught by the legal teams.
Good luck to you.
Lizzy; I voted my shares already, done deal, I used the Blue card. All FOR Sarissa Proposals. Got a new set of Control numbers from my Broker.E*Trade this morning. I had to solicit (ask) them for them. They didn't have the "Non-Amarin Supported" Proxies (BLUE) until the voting was Open today. Imagine that? don't quite understand that angle but there it is.
Got to hand it Amarin, they're pulling out all the stops for this Vote. I feel for UK investors. Their banks have no clue what a Proxy card is? Ahhh, the times of free speech and freedom of the press. How do investors in Europe stay informed and have any power over Board Rooms?
I just got a Potential Spam phone call from an unknown 1 (800) 662-5200 number, I blocked it initially then called it back, it was one of Amarin Solicitors (Morrison & Valley?) IDK, I told them I already voted for Sarissa. Ok thanks have a nice weekend.
time to celebrate and smoke a Doober..... :D) like the one in Cheech & Chong. Using a gym sock as a wrapper. Too many people have me on ignore I think?

Rose; Yes, the questions (Proposals) are identical. It's the interpretation of the Recommendations that's the confusing part. It was for me until I read and verified the Blue Proxy card. recommendations. MRM and I had this discussion this morning. You'll just have to go read both Proxies to get my point. There's two sets of Proxies White and Blue, identical proposals, with different recommendation wording. Stick with the Blue card. Good luck.
PS I wouldn't wait on casting my vote, the sooner the better. It's all up to you folks however.
Rose; Let's give it a week, I'm curious as to whether the brokerages have been given instructions to not communicate proxy materials to their clients or not. The conversation I had with my E*Trade representative was that they were not going to provide proxy materials to their clients. That it had to be pro-active on the clients part to get their own Control numbers. Of which there are two different sets of numbers; White card (Amarin BOD) and Blue card (Non-Amarin). I was somewhat confused this morning and got the Blue card Control number this morning by talking directly to my brokerage.

Thanks Lizzy; I've copied and pasted the BLUE CARD Proxy summary; A little more clearly worded than the "AMARIN BOD WHITE CARD" verbiage. I believe in the KISS principal, keep it simple stupid. Sarissa recommends FOR, therefore I vote FOR. Not Amarin recommends AGAINST, therefore I vote FOR? Confusing to say the least.

Sorry, I could not respond to you yesterday, I used up my 15 Posts for the day.
MRM, I get it, really I do. I'm not knocking you for it. You made your decision, it's probably okay. Me? I need to be sure, especially with this vote, my future financial horizon depends upon the right decision. It's those times when things seem so simple that we get ourselves into trouble. It's called double check and verify.
Chernobyl happened because the operator didn't verify his equipment status. He had assumed everything was okay. Had he looked at his Reactor Coolant temperatures then he could have figured out he had disabled a vital reactor coolant pump. Then sh*t hit the fan.
Three Mile Island, almost the same scenario. "A combination of equipment failure and operator error led to the partial meltdown of the power plant’s Unit 2 reactor that resulted in the release of a small amount of radioactive material." It's all about verify, verify, verify. I can't stress it enough.
This vote is so vital to my financial future I had to be sure. Thanks again for your objectiveness.
Nuke
seve; that is correct. Call your broker and request the "Unsolicited by AMARIN BOD" Control numbers. You'll need a different set of numbers for each type of account where AMRN shares are held.
Once you have these Control numbers then go to ProxyVote.com. There they have you type in each control number which takes you to the electronic Proxy statement.
Good luck to you.
Nuke
rose; did you speak to a "live" person? Fidelity? That's not like them?
Thanks Capt;
I just talked to E*Trade and got a new set of control #s for the "Unsolicited by AMARIN BOD." I'm assuming these are the BLUE CARD numbers.
Apparently, yesterday when I called, E*Trade couldn't provide me these new numbers because the voting was not open. What a crock huh?
Good luck to us all,
Nuke
Understand MRM, I just talked to E*Trade, they have a different set of control #s for the "Unsolicited by Amarin BOD." They didn't or couldn't provide them yesterday because the voting was not "OPEN." Now that the voting is open, they could provide the additional set from Sarissa.
I do understand the simplicity, in my line of work we couldn't afford to take things at face value. We had to be absolutely sure of what actions we took or the consequences could be dire indeed. I'm going back to ProxyVote and using the new Control #'s for the Blue card.
Thanks again for your advice, it's appreciated. Good luck to all of us.
Nuke
Sorry MRM, I understand your point, simple or no, I'm not going to cast my 250k shares on something sponsored by Amarin. The wording is confusing, it's like they turned the sentence around to confuse people.
These shysters have been nothing short of despicable. Until I hear something definitive from DJ King then I'll wait for their direction.
I got this from another post; "But the broker has to be instructed to provide the BLUE card control #" WTF does this mean? Did my E*Trade broker give me the White card control # or the Blue card? I'm calling E*Trade back to verify. If Broadbridge is not associated with Amarin then fine. If it is only a venue for voting shares then I want something with less confusing verbiage.
I just talked to E*Trade, the numbers from the "Not solicited by the Amarin BOD" are different than the numbers I was given yesterday. Thank god I verified.
Thanks,
Nuke
