hdg... Ekman and PWO had a relationship through Merck and was instrumental in bringing PWO to Amarin....If not for Ekman, PWO would not be chairman of BOD of Amarin...It would be hard for PWO to dismiss his friend Ekman (his predecessor as COB) from the board.

"Lars Ekman was formerly with Nova Cardia acquired by Merck"
