rosemount,
here you go re Sarissa's announcement. Key word is "holders" of the majority of outstanding shares. NOT the total outstanding shares!!
In addition, we intend to vote "ABSTAIN" at the annual meeting because even though such a vote will not impact the outcome of the upcoming election of directors, the United Kingdom, the jurisdiction in which Amarin is domiciled, contains laws and rights that protect the shareholder franchise even after the annual meeting. For example, under UK law and Amarin’s articles, shareholders, like Sarissa, who own at least 5% of the outstanding shares can call a special meeting of shareholders to remove and replace directors AT ANY TIME. Therefore, immediately after the annual meeting, we could call a special meeting and seek to remove and replace some or all of the Amarin directors with the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares.
