Fully agree. This line of thinking relate to amrn current inactive promotion. How long are they planing to do this? Until appeal, that is initial thought I guess. What if the outcome is unclear because of remanding to dc or anything else, are they going to defer promotion forever? In that case, they may as well just say bye to us market.

BO is ultimate solution. I just don’t see any benefits waiting it longer, except mgmt can’t milk any longer.

Even more important than winning the appeal is selling the company, and not risking the outcome of the Appeal. Singer could write the best briefs, and orally argue with perfection, but still lose, or win a remand where this case and the accompanying FUD continues indefinitely.

People need to understand that even winning the appeal, while real nice, is not a magic entry into the promised land of Amarin prosperity, while a loss is catastrophic. The only surefire exit strategy that benefits the shareholders at this point, is the sale of the company, sooner, rather than later.

All sound statements but the exit door for settlement I fear has closed. There is no pathway to settlement by vacatur that can seal the entry of other generic challengers with certainty. Hikma/Reddys have hit a lucky break with a potty Judge Du-zy, and they will ride the play for all they can. no amount of logic about wasted building of market by Amrn for them etc will hold water. It is in their nature and they will follow suit. Of course if Amrn could find a buyer BP we know that under current uncertainties the shareholders would be cheated in acquisition price.
The more I see of our lot as shareholders, the more I feel Singer is now at the lead of our Charge of the Light Brigade: "Ours not to reason why.."

Marjac..I think AMRN is in better hands with BP ( I don't own AMRN for a buyout ) or with competent management...a buyout would depend on a BP risk appetite for buying AMRN at a price that values the USA assets discounted in all likelihood more than JT/AMRN are welling to accommodate...if AMRN and BP could not agree on a price when there was less uncertainty and the litigation could have been in BP's hands I think it unlikely now.
At this point I would love to move on..I agree with you it is far from certainty we will be guided by current management in a responsible and profitable manner after we win appeal...the tragedy here is the wasting of such a fine product to the consumer and potential for shareholders...EU is a whole new subject...AMRN should seriously consider selling EU and rest of world and keeping US
untill after win.
JT comments on EU gia are paramount to him being to greedy. We are going 3 steps back and 1 step forward and the cliff behind us in in clear view.

Totally agree and was hoping for this to occur until yesterday’s bomb blew up the odds of that happening anytime soon.

Because this case is being taken de novo, doesn’t a remand possibility disappear?

Marjac - Yes!!! I don’t think JT gets it though
