Amarin Corp Plc (AMRN)

How in the world could anyne have voted to keep this utters scumbags around. Another new low for them.

Sarissa is appalled at this latest act of betrayal of the shareholders by the Amarin board. Sarissa has been urging the Amarin board to release the results of the proxy contest for several days. The board, however, has steadfastly refused, leaving Amarin shareholders to twist in the wind. Now we know why the board has opted to sit on this powder keg of information. Late last week in the stealth of night and right before the General Meeting, the Amarin board disclosed egregious equity grants to executives representing more than 3.6 million shares. CEO Karim Mikhail was given 70% more in equity grants than last year despite the horrendous performance of the company under his leadership. If that is not enough, apparently these grants vest solely based on the passage of time with absolutely no performance criteria.
