These andother factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by the independent parties and by us.Item 1.BusinessReferences in this report to “Amarin,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Amarin Corporation plc and its subsidiaries, on aconsolidated basis, unless otherwise indicated.This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes the registered and unregistered trademarks and service marks of other parties.Amarin Corporation plc is a public limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales. Amarin Corporation plc was originallyincorporated in England as a private limited company on March 1, 1989 under the Companies Act 1985, and re-registered in England as a public limitedcompany on March 19, 1993.Our principal offices are located at 2 Pembroke House, Upper Pembroke Street 28-32, Dublin 2 Ireland. Our registered office is located at One NewChange, London EC4M 9AF, England. Our primary office in the United States is located at 1430 Route 206, Bedminster, NJ 07921, USA. Our telephonenumber at that location is (908) 719-1315.1 For purposes of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our ordinary shares may also be referred to as “common shares” or “common stock.”OverviewWe are a biopharmaceutical company with expertise in lipid science focused on the commercialization and development of therapeutics to improvecardiovascular health.Our lead product, Vascepa® (icosapent ethyl) capsules, is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for use as an adjunct to diet toreduce triglyceride levels in adult patients with severe (TG ≥500 mg/dL) hypertriglyceridemia. This FDA-approved indication for Vascepa, known as theMARINE indication, is based primarily on the successful results from the MARINE study of Vascepa in this approved patient population. In considering thisapproval, FDA also reviewed the successful results from our study of Vascepa in patients with high triglyceride levels (TG ≥200 mg/dL and <500 mg/dL) whoare also on statin therapy for elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or LDL-C, levels which condition we refer to as mixed dyslipidemia or persistentlyhigh triglycerides. This study is known as the ANCHOR study. Safety data from both the MARINE and ANCHOR studies are reflected in FDA-approvedlabeling for Vascepa. In January 2013, we began selling and marketing Vascepa in the United States based on the FDA-approved MARINE indication. InAugust 2015, we began communicating promotional information beyond the MARINE indication to healthcare professionals in the United States based onthe federal court declaration described below. In March 2016, we reached agreement with the FDA and U.S. government under which they agreed to be boundby the terms of the August 2015 judicial declaration. Vascepa is available in the United States by prescription only.We sell Vascepa principally to a limited number of major wholesalers, as well as selected regional wholesalers and specialty pharmacy providers, orcollectively, our Distributors or our customers, that in turn resell Vascepa to retail pharmacies for subsequent resale to patients and healthcare providers. Wemarket Vascepa in the United States through our direct sales force. In March 2014, we entered into a co-promotion agreement in the United States with KowaPharmaceuticals America, Inc. under which Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. began to co-promote Vascepa in conjunction with its promotion of itsprimary product, a branded statin for patients with high cholesterol, which commenced in May 2014 and is scheduled to end at the end of 2018. Our directsales force has, for the past few years through late 2017, consisted of approximately 150 sales professionals, including sales representatives and theirmanagers. During the fourth quarter of 2017, we added approximately 15 sales representatives, bringing our direct sales force in the United States toapproximately 165 sales professionals. We anticipate increasing our direct sales force to approximately 400 to 500 sales professionals after REDUCE-ITresults, assuming success. We also intend to expand medical education and market awareness initiatives, including, in advance of REDUCE-IT results beingknown, pilot testing of new promotional initiatives for potential broader applications following REDUCE-IT results.In February 2015, we entered into an exclusive agreement with Eddingpharm (Asia) Macao Commercial Offshore Limited, or Eddingpharm, todevelop and commercialize Vascepa capsules in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, or the China Territory. In March 2016, we entered into anagreement with Biologix FZCo, or Biologix, to register and commercialize Vascepa in countries within the Middle East and North Africa. In September 2017,we entered into an agreement with HLS Therapeutics Inc., or HLS, to register, commercialize and distribute Vascepa in Canada. We continue to assess otherpartnership opportunities for licensing Vascepa to partners outside of the United States.Triglycerides are the main constituent of body fat in humans. Hypertriglyceridemia refers to a condition in which patients have high levels oftriglycerides in the bloodstream. It is estimated that approximately 70 million adults in the United States have elevated triglyceride levels (TG ≥150 mg/dL),approximately 40 million adults in the United States have high triglyceride levels (TG ≥200 mg/dL), and approximately 3 to 4 million adults in the UnitedStates have severely high triglyceride levels (TG ≥500 mg/dL), commonly known as very high triglyceride levels. Many patients with high triglyceride levelsalso have diabetes and other lipid level abnormalities such as high cholesterol. The patient condition of having more than one lipid level abnormality isreferred to as mixed dyslipidemia. According to The American Heart Association Scientific Statement on Triglycerides and Cardiovascular Disease (2011),triglycerides provide important information as a marker associated with the risk for heart disease and stroke, especially when an individual also has low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or HDL-C (often referred to as “good” cholesterol), and elevated levels of LDL-C (often referred to as “bad” cholesterol).Guidelines for the management of very high triglyceride levels suggest that reducing triglyceride levels is the primary goal in patients to reduce the risk ofacute pancreatitis. The effect of Vascepa on cardiovascular mortality and morbidity, or the risk for pancreatitis, in patients with hypertriglyceridemia has notbeen determined.We are currently focused on completing the ongoing REDUCE-IT (Reduction of Cardiovascular Events with EPA—Intervention Trial) cardiovascularoutcomes study of Vascepa, which we started in December 2011. REDUCE-IT, a multinational, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlledstudy, is the first prospective cardiovascular outcomes study of any drug in a population of patients who, despite stable statin therapy, have elevatedtriglyceride levels. Based on the results of REDUCE-IT, we plan to seek additional indicated uses for Vascepa. In REDUCE-IT, cardiovascular event rates forpatients on stable statin therapy plus 4 grams per day of Vascepa will be compared to cardiovascular event rates for patients on stable statin therapy plusplacebo.2 In 2016, we completed patient enrollment and randomization of 8,175 individual patients into the REDUCE-IT study, exceeding the 8,000 patientstargeted for the trial. The REDUCE-IT study is designed to be completed after reaching 1,612 aggregate primary cardiovascular events. Based on projectedevent rates, we estimate the onset of the target aggregate number of primary cardiovascular events to be reached near the end of the first quarter of 2018 withstudy results then expected to be available and made public before the end of the third quarter of 2018, followed by publication of the results. Betweenreaching the estimated onset of the target 1,612 aggregate primary cardiovascular events and study data being unblinded and disclosed, vital data will becollected from all remaining living patients in the study and data in the study will be rolled-up for evaluation by the independent data monitoringcommittee, or DMC, and creation of a final study report. We have instructed clinical sites to schedule patients enrolled in the study for their final site visitscommencing March 1, 2018.The REDUCE-IT study, since its inception in 2011, has been conducted under a special protocol assessment, or SPA, agreement with the FDA. ThisSPA, as amended, provides for periodic safety reviews by the study’s DMC. In addition, the SPA, as amended, provided for interim efficacy and safetyanalyses by the study’s DMC at approximately 60% and at approximately 80% of the target aggregate number of primary cardiovascular events. The periodicsafety reviews and interim efficacy and safety analyses were conducted confidentially by the study’s DMC. We remain blinded to all data from the study.Until the study is completed or the study is halted due to a patient safety concern (not expected), Amarin personnel will remain blinded to the efficacy andsafety data from the REDUCE-IT study. Since patient enrollment commenced in 2011, over 33,000 patient years of study experience have been accumulatedin the REDUCE-IT study. Following each periodic review of safety data to date, which have occurred quarterly since 2013, and following each of two interimefficacy and safety analyses, the DMC has communicated to us that we should continue the study as planned. The p-value used to assess the primaryendpoint in REDUCE-IT at completion, assuming 1,612 aggregate primary cardiovascular events, is p<0.0436. In January 2018, we announced that morethan 90% of the 1,612 targeted aggregate number of primary cardiovascular events have been reported and documented.In the successful Phase 3 MARINE and ANCHOR clinical trials, Vascepa was studied at a daily dose of 2 grams and 4 grams. We sought approval ofVascepa at the more efficacious 4-gram dose for use in each patient population. These trials demonstrated favorable results in their respective patientpopulations, particularly with the 4-gram dose of Vascepa, in reducing triglyceride levels without increasing LDL-C levels in the MARINE trial and with astatistically significant decrease in LDL-C levels in the ANCHOR trial, in each case, relative to placebo. These trials also showed favorable results,particularly with the 4-gram dose of Vascepa, in other important lipid and inflammation biomarkers, including apolipoprotein B (apo B), non-high-densitylipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), total-cholesterol (TC), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2), and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). In these trials, the most commonly reported adverse reaction (incidence >2% and greater thanplacebo) in Vascepa-treated patients was arthralgia (joint pain) (2.3% for Vascepa vs. 1.0% for placebo).In April 2015, we received a Complete Response Letter, or CRL, from the FDA in response to our supplemental new drug application, or sNDA, thatsought approval of Vascepa for use in patients with mixed dyslipidemia, based on the successful ANCHOR study. The CRL followed an October 2013rescission by the FDA of a special protocol assessment, or SPA, agreement and three failed attempts by us to appeal that rescission at FDA. The FDA hasacknowledged the success of the ANCHOR study, which met all primary and secondary endpoints. However, FDA determined that there were insufficient datato conclude that drug-induced changes in serum triglycerides could be recognized by the FDA as a valid surrogate for reducing cardiovascular risk in theANCHOR population for the purpose of regulatory approval of a drug targeted at a triglyceride-lowering indication in this population. The FDA hasacknowledged that the standard of proof required by the FDA for approval of a new drug indication is higher than that generally used to inform patienttreatment guidelines and that used by physicians in clinical practice. The FDA did not determine that the drug-induced effects of Vascepa, which go beyondtriglyceride-lowering, would not actually reduce cardiovascular risk in this population and the FDA has encouraged us to complete the REDUCE-IToutcomes study. Based on our communications with the FDA, we expect that final positive results from the REDUCE-IT outcomes study will be required forlabel expansion for Vascepa.In May 2015, we and a group of independent physicians filed a lawsuit in federal court to permit us to promote to healthcare professionals the use ofVascepa in patients with mixed dyslipidemia so long as the promotion is truthful and non-misleading. This use reflects recognized medical practice but is notcovered by current FDA-approved labeling for the drug. Historically, FDA has considered promotion of drug uses not covered by FDA-approved labeling tobe illegal off-label promotion, even if such promotion is truthful and non-misleading. In August 2015, we were granted preliminary relief in the form of adeclaratory judgment in this lawsuit. The court declaration permits us to promote to healthcare professionals the FDA-reviewed and agreed effects of Vascepademonstrated in the ANCHOR clinical trial and presentation of the current state of scientific research related to the potential of Vascepa to reduce the risk ofcardiovascular disease including through use of peer-reviewed scientific publications of available data. In August 2015, we began to communicatepromotional information beyond the MARINE indication to healthcare professionals in the United States as permitted by this court declaration and in March2016, the parties obtained court approval of negotiated settlement terms under which the FDA and the U.S. government agreed to be bound by the court’sconclusions from the August 2015 declaration that we may engage in truthful and non-misleading speech promoting the off-label use of Vascepa and thatcertain statements and disclosures that we proposed to make to healthcare professionals were truthful and non-misleading. While we believe we are nowpermitted under applicable law to more broadly promote Vascepa, the FDA-approved labeling for Vascepa did not change as a result of this litigation andsettlement, and neither government nor other third-party coverage or reimbursement to pay for the off-label use of Vascepa promoted under the courtdeclaration was required.3 Commercialization—United StatesWe commenced the commercial launch of 1-gram size Vascepa capsules in the United States in January 2013. We commenced sales and shipments ofVascepa at that time to our network of U.S.-based wholesalers. We currently market Vascepa in the United States through our direct sales force ofapproximately 165 sales professionals, including sales representatives and their managers. We anticipate increasing our sales force to a total of approximately400 to 500 sales professionals after REDUCE-IT results, assuming success. Commencing in May 2014, in addition to Vascepa promotion by our salesrepresentatives, Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. began co-promoting Vascepa in conjunction with its promotion of its primary product, a branded statinfor patients with high cholesterol. We also employ various medical affairs and marketing personnel to support our commercialization of Vascepa. We intendto expand medical education and market awareness initiatives, including, in advance of REDUCE-IT results being known, pilot testing of new promotionalinitiatives for potential broader applications following REDUCE-IT results.In October 2016, in addition to the original 1-gram capsule size for Vascepa, we introduced a smaller 0.5-gram capsule size, the first and only 0.5-gramprescription omega-3 alternative available on the market, for the subset of patients who prefer a smaller capsule. The FDA-approved dosing for Vascepacontinues to be 4 grams per day and, as expected, the majority of new and existing patients taking Vascepa continue to be prescribed the 1-gram size Vascepacapsule.Under our co-promotion agreement with Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc., both parties have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts topromote, detail and optimize sales of Vascepa in the United States and have agreed to specific performance requirements detailed in the related agreement.The performance requirements include a negotiated minimum number of sales details to be delivered by each party in the first and second position, the use ofa negotiated number of minimum sales representatives from each party, and the achievement of minimum levels of Vascepa revenue in 2015 and beyond.First position refers to when a sales representative’s primary purpose in detailing is related to Vascepa, while second position refers to when a salesrepresentative’s primary purpose in detailing is to promote another product, but they also devote time in the same sales call to promote Vascepa. KowaPharmaceuticals America, Inc. has also agreed to bear the costs incurred for its sales force associated with the commercialization of Vascepa and to pay forcertain incremental costs associated with the use of its sales force, such as sample costs and costs for promotional and marketing materials. We will continueto recognize all revenue from sales of Vascepa. In exchange for Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc.’s co-promotional services, Kowa PharmaceuticalsAmerica, Inc. is entitled to a quarterly co-promotion fee based on a percentage of aggregate Vascepa gross margin that varies during the term. The percentageof aggregate Vascepa gross margin earned by Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. was, as amended, approximately eighteen percent (18%) in 2017, partiallyoffset by certain other refinements. During 2018, which is the last year of the agreement, as amended, we anticipate incurring expense for both the annual co-promotion fee, which in 2018 will again be calculated as a percentage of Vascepa gross margin at a modestly higher rate than in 2017, plus accrual for co-promotion tail payments. Assuming Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. fulfills its obligations in accordance with the terms of the agreement, as amended,after expiration of the agreement, Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. is eligible to receive up to three years of co-promotion tail payments equal todeclining percentages of the co-promotion fee amount earned in the final year of the agreement with the sum of the three years of co-promotion tail paymentstotaling less than the co-promotion fee amount earned in the final year of the agreement.Based on monthly compilations of data provided by a third party, Symphony Health, the estimated number of normalized total Vascepa prescriptionsfor the three months ended December 31, 2017 was approximately 394,000 compared to 374,000, 344,000, 305,000, and 286,000 in the three months endedSeptember 30, 2017, June 30, 2017, March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, respectively. According to data from another third party, IQVIA (formerlyQuintilesIMS), the estimated number of normalized total Vascepa prescriptions for the three months ended December 31, 2017 was approximately 406,000compared to 372,000, 344,000, 307,000, and 289,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2017, June 30, 2017, March 31, 2017, and December 31,2016, respectively. Normalized total prescriptions represent the estimated total number of Vascepa prescriptions dispensed to patients, calculated on anormalized basis (i.e., one month’s supply, or total capsules dispensed multiplied by the number of grams per capsule divided by 120 grams). Inventorylevels at wholesalers tend to fluctuate based on seasonal factors, prescription trends and other factors.The data reported above is based on information made available to us from third-party resources and may be subject to adjustment and may overstateor understate actual prescriptions. Timing of shipments to wholesalers, as used for revenue recognition purposes, and timing of prescriptions as estimated bythese third parties may differ from period to period. Although we believe these data are prepared on a period-to-period basis in a manner that is generallyconsistent and that such results can be generally indicative of current prescription trends, these data are based on estimates and should not be relied upon asdefinitive. While we expect to be able to grow Vascepa revenues over time, no guidance should be inferred from the operating metrics described above. Wealso anticipate that such sales growth will be inconsistent from period to period. We believe that investors should view the above-referenced operatingmetrics with caution, as data for this limited period may not be representative of a trend consistent with the results presented or otherwise predictive of futureresults. Seasonal fluctuations in pharmaceutical sales, for example, may affect future prescription trends of Vascepa, as could changes in prescriber sentiment,quarterly changes in Distributor purchases, and other factors. We believe investors should consider our results over several quarters, or longer, before makingan assessment about potential future performance.4 The commercialization of pharmaceutical products is a complex undertaking, and our ability to effectively and profitably commercialize Vascepa willdepend in part on our ability to generate market demand for Vascepa through education, marketing and sales activities, our ability to achieve marketacceptance of Vascepa, our ability to generate product revenue and our ability to receive adequate levels of reimbursement from third-party payers. See “RiskFactors—Risks Related to the Commercialization and Development of Vascepa.”In August 2015, we and our co-promotion partner began communicating promotional information beyond MARINE clinical trial data to targetedhealthcare professionals. Such qualified communications are being made pursuant to the August 2015 federal district court declaration and related March2016 settlement allowing truthful and non-misleading promotion of the FDA-reviewed and agreed effects of Vascepa demonstrated in the ANCHOR clinicaltrial and presentation of the current state of scientific research related to the potential of Vascepa to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease includingthrough use of peer-reviewed scientific publications of available data.Commercialization—Outside the United StatesIn February 2015, we announced an exclusive agreement with Eddingpharm to develop and commercialize Vascepa capsules in what we refer to as theChina Territory, consisting of the territories of Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, for uses that are currently commercialized and underdevelopment by us in the United States based on the MARINE, ANCHOR and ongoing REDUCE-IT clinical trials of Vascepa.Under the agreement, Eddingpharm is responsible for development and commercialization activities in the China Territory and associated expenses.We will provide development assistance and be responsible for supplying the product. Terms of the agreement include up-front and milestone payments to usof up to $169.0 million, including a non-refundable $15.0 million up-front payment received at closing, a non-refundable milestone payment of $1.0 millionreceived upon successful submission of a clinical trial application, or CTA, with respect to the MARINE indication for Vascepa to the Chinese regulatoryauthority in March 2016. In March 2017, the CTA was approved by the Chinese regulatory authority and, in December 2017, Eddingpharm commenced apivotal clinical trial aimed to support the regulatory approval of the first indication of Vascepa in a patient population with severe hypertriglyceridemia inMainland China. We are also entitled to receive future regulatory and sales-based milestone payments of up to an additional $153.0 million. The regulatorymilestone events relate to the submission and approval of certain applications to the applicable regulatory authority, such as a clinical trial application,clinical trial exemption, or import drug license application. The amounts to be received upon achievement of the regulatory milestone events relate to thesubmission and approval for three indications, and range from $1.0 million to $15.0 million for a total of $33.0 million. The sales-based milestone eventsoccur when annual aggregate net sales of Vascepa in the territory equals or exceeds certain specified thresholds, and range from $5.0 million to $50.0 millionfor a total of $120.0 million. Eddingpharm will also pay us tiered double-digit percentage royalties on net sales of Vascepa in the China Territory escalatingto the high teens. We will supply finished product to Eddingpharm under negotiated terms.In March 2016, we entered into an agreement with Biologix FZCo, or Biologix, to register and commercialize Vascepa in several Middle Eastern andNorth African countries. Under the terms of the distribution agreement, we granted to Biologix a non-exclusive license to use our trademarks in connectionwith the importation, distribution, promotion, marketing and sale of Vascepa in the Middle East and North Africa territory. Upon closing of the agreement, wereceived a non-refundable up-front payment, which will be recognized as revenue over 10 years commencing upon first marketing approval of Vascepa in theterritory. We receive all payments based on total product sales and pay Biologix a service fee in exchange for its services, whereby the service fee represents apercentage of gross selling price which is subject to a minimum floor price.In September 2017, we entered into an agreement with HLS to register, commercialize and distribute Vascepa in Canada. Under the agreement, HLSwill be responsible for regulatory and commercialization activities and associated costs. We will be responsible for providing assistance towards local filings,supplying finished product under negotiated supply terms, maintaining intellectual property, and continuing the development and funding of REDUCE-IT.Terms of the agreement include up-front and milestone payments to us of up to $65.0 million. These payments include a non-refundable $5.0 million up-front payment to be received in two equal installments, the first of which was received at closing with the second to be received upon the six-monthanniversary of the closing. In addition to the non-refundable, up-front payment, we are entitled to receive certain regulatory and sales-based milestonepayments of up to an additional $60.0 million, the timing and achievability of which cannot be determined at least until discussions with Canadianregulatory authorities have commenced, as well as tiered double-digit royalties on net sales of Vascepa in Canada. We continue to assess other partnership opportunities for licensing Vascepa to partners outside of the United States.Research and DevelopmentREDUCE-IT is the first prospective cardiovascular outcomes study of any drug in a population of patients who, despite stable statin therapy, haveelevated triglyceride levels. REDUCE-IT is a multinational, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to assess thecumulative effect on the rate of cardiovascular events for patients treated with Vascepa as an5 add-on to statin therapy compared to the corresponding rate of cardiovascular events for patients treated with placebo on top of statin therapy. REDUCE-IT isnot designed to demonstrate that lowering triglycerides alone in the study population is sufficient to lower the rate of major adverse cardiovascular eventscompared to placebo. Rather, it is designed to test the hypothesis that the clinical effects of Vascepa, including its impact on triglyceride lowering, areeffective in lowering the rate of major adverse cardiovascular events compared to placebo in patients who despite statin therapy have risk factors forcardiovascular disease, including elevated triglyceride levels. Based on the results of REDUCE-IT, we may seek additional indications for Vascepa beyondthe indications studied in the ANCHOR or MARINE trials.In 2016, we completed patient enrollment and randomization of 8,175 individual patients into the REDUCE-IT study, exceeding the 8,000 patientstargeted for the trial. The REDUCE-IT study is designed to be completed after reaching 1,612 aggregate primary cardiovascular events. Based on projectedevent rates, we estimate the onset of the target aggregate number of primary cardiovascular events to be reached near the end of the first quarter of 2018 withstudy results then expected to be available and made public before the end of the third quarter of 2018, followed by publication of the results. Betweenreaching the estimated onset of the target 1,612 aggregate primary cardiovascular events and study data being unblinded and disclosed, vital data will becollected from all remaining living patients in the study and data in the study will be rolled-up for evaluation by the DMC and creation of a final studyreport. We have instructed clinical sites to schedule patients enrolled in the study for their final site visits commencing March 1, 2018.The REDUCE-IT study, since its inception in 2011, has been conducted under a SPA agreement with the FDA. This SPA, as amended, provides forperiodic safety reviews by the study’s DMC. In addition, the SPA, as amended, provided for interim efficacy and safety analyses by the study’s DMC atapproximately 60% and at approximately 80% of the target aggregate number of primary cardiovascular events. The periodic safety reviews and interimefficacy and safety analyses were conducted confidentially by the study’s DMC. We remain blinded to all data from the study. Until the study is completed orthe study is halted due to a patient safety concern (not expected), Amarin personnel will remain blinded to the efficacy and safety data from the REDUCE-ITstudy. Since patient enrollment commenced in 2011, over 33,000 patient years of study experience have been accumulated in the REDUCE-IT study.Following each periodic review of safety data to date, which have occurred quarterly since 2013, and following each of two interim efficacy and safetyanalyses, the DMC has communicated to us that we should continue the study as planned. The p-value used to assess the primary endpoint in REDUCE-IT atcompletion, assuming 1,612 aggregate primary cardiovascular events, is p< 0.0436. In January 2018, we announced that more than 90% of the 1,612 targetedaggregate number of primary cardiovascular events have been reported and documented.Our scientific rationale for the REDUCE-IT study is supported by (i) epidemiological data that suggests elevated triglyceride levels correlate withincreased cardiovascular disease risk, (ii) genetic data that suggests triglyceride and/or triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (as well as low-density lipoproteincholesterol (LDL cholesterol), known as bad cholesterol) are independently in the causal pathway for cardiovascular disease and (iii) clinical data thatsuggest substantial triglyceride reduction in patients with elevated baseline triglyceride levels correlates with reduced cardiovascular risk. Our scientificrationale for the REDUCE-IT study is also supported by research on the putative cardioprotective effects of EPA as presented in scientific literature. It ispossible that the effects of EPA may be due not to a single mode of action, such as triglyceride lowering, but rather to multiple mechanisms working together.Studies in the scientific literature explore potentially beneficial effects of EPA on multiple atherosclerosis processes, including endothelial function,oxidative stress, foam cell formation, inflammation/cytokines, plaque formation/progression, platelet aggregation, thrombus formation, and plaque rupture.The REDUCE-IT study is needed to determine the clinical benefit, if any, of EPA therapy in statin-treated patients with elevated triglyceride levels.Commercial SupplyPrior to 2015, all of our active pharmaceutical ingredient, or API, that has been utilized in product sold was manufactured by two suppliers: NisshinPharma, Inc., or Nisshin, and Chemport, Inc., or Chemport. During 2015, we began purchasing API from a third supplier, Finorga SAS, or Novasep. Theamount of supply we seek to purchase in future periods will depend on the level of growth of Vascepa revenues and minimum purchase commitments withcertain suppliers. While our current supply chain is scalable, we continue efforts to expand, diversify and further enhance it.Financial PositionIn February 2018, we received approximately $65.0 million of net proceeds from a registered offering of our American Depositary Shares (ADSs). Webelieve that our cash and cash equivalents of $73.6 million as of December 31, 2017, together with the approximately $65.0 million received in February2018, will be sufficient to fund our projected operations through results of the REDUCE-IT study, which we anticipate will be available before the end of thethird quarter of 2018 and, assuming positive results of the REDUCE-IT study, through subsequent public presentation of such results at a medical congressbefore the end of 2018. Depending on the level of cash generated from operations, additional capital may be required to expand promotion of Vascepa ascontemplated following anticipated successful results of the REDUCE-IT study. If additional capital is required and we are unable to obtain additionalcapital, we may be forced to delay, limit or eliminate all or a portion of the expanded promotional activities planned following successful results of theREDUCE-IT study. We anticipate that quarterly net cash outflows in future periods will be variable.6 Lipid Disorders and Cardiovascular DiseaseHeart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular events represent the leading cause of death and disability among men and women in western societies.According to the Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics—2018 Update from the American Heart Association, more than 1 out of every 3 adults in the UnitedStates (approximately 92 million) currently lives with one or more types of cardiovascular disease; an estimated 1 million new or recurrent coronary eventsand 795,000 new or recurrent strokes occur each year; an estimated 29 million adults ≥20 years of age have high total serum cholesterol levels (≥240 mg/dL),and an estimated 71 million adults ≥20 years of age have borderline high or high low-density lipoprotein (“bad”) cholesterol, or LDL-C, levels (≥130 mg/dL).In addition to cholesterol, lipoproteins such as LDL also carry fats in the form of triglycerides. Hypertriglyceridemia refers to a condition in whichpatients have high levels of triglycerides in the bloodstream and has been reported to be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Triglyceridelevels provide important information as a marker associated with the risk for heart disease and stroke, especially when an individual also has low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C; often called “good” cholesterol) and elevated levels of LDL-C. The effect of Vascepa on cardiovascular mortalityand morbidity in patients with hypertriglyceridemia has not been determined.Guidelines for the management of very high triglyceride levels (≥500 mg/dL) suggest that reducing triglyceride levels is the primary treatment goal inthese patients to reduce the risk of acute pancreatitis. Treating LDL-C remains an important secondary goal. Other important parameters to consider inpatients with very high triglycerides include levels of apolipoprotein B (apo B), non-HDL-C, and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C). Theeffect of Vascepa on the risk for pancreatitis in patients with hypertriglyceridemia has not been determined.It is estimated that over 40 million adults in the United States have elevated triglyceride levels ≥200 mg/dL and that approximately 70 million adultsin the United States have elevated triglyceride levels ≥150 mg/dL. Additionally, approximately 3 to 4 million adults in the United States have very hightriglyceride levels (≥500 mg/dL). Since 1976, mean triglyceride levels have increased, in concert with the growing epidemic of obesity, insulin resistance,and type 2 diabetes mellitus. In contrast, mean LDL-C levels have decreased.Mixed dyslipidemia refers to a condition in which patients have a combination of two or more lipid abnormalities including elevated triglycerides,low HDL-C, and/or elevated LDL-C. Both hypertriglyceridemia and mixed dyslipidemia are components of a range of lipid disorders collectively referred toas dyslipidemia. Dyslipidemia has been linked to atherosclerosis, commonly referred to as hardening of the arteries.Limitations of Current TherapiesIt is estimated that approximately 4% or less of U.S. adults with triglyceride levels ≥200 mg/dL are currently receiving prescription medication forlowering triglycerides. Many of these patients are taking statin therapy directed primarily at lowering their LDL-C levels.The leading prescription treatments to lower triglyceride levels are fibrates (fenofibrate and gemfibrozil), statins and generic forms of an omega-3 fattyacid mixture known as Lovaza® in the United States and as Omacor® in Europe. The use of fenofibrates can lead to abnormal liver function tests (an increasein ALT (alanine transaminase) or AST (aspartate transaminase), which are liver enzymes, and are commonly measured clinically as a part of a diagnostic liverfunction test to determine liver health), especially when used with statins. The use of gemfibrozil can lead to rhabdomyolysis (severe breakdown of muscles),especially when used with a statin. Lovaza is comprised of omega-3 ethyl esters, which the FDA has described as a complex mixture of eicosapentaenoic acid,or EPA, docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA, and other fatty acids. We believe that DHA may increase LDL-C levels and thereby partially offset one of thetypically desired benefits of lipid-lowering therapies, which is lowering LDL-C. Also, in 2012, the FDA required an update to Lovaza product labeling toreflect the risk that Lovaza may increase the frequency of a heart rhythm problem known as atrial fibrillation, or heart flutter. Also, in 2015, the FDA updatedthe Trilipix® (a fenofibrate) product labeling and removed combination use with statin therapy in mixed dyslipidemia patients as an indication due to afailed outcomes trial.Potential Benefits and Market Opportunity for VascepaVascepa is comprised of not less than 96% pure icosapent ethyl, or ethyl-EPA, and contains no DHA. We believe that the removal of DHA mitigatesagainst the LDL-C raising effect observed in omega-3 compositions that include DHA. Based on the results of the MARINE trial, Vascepa was the firstomega-3 based product to demonstrate statistically significant triglyceride reduction without a statistically significant increase in LDL-C in this very hightriglyceride population.7 We believe that the results of the MARINE trial and Vascepa’s EPA only/DHA-free composition suggest that Vascepa has the potential to become a“best-in-class” triglyceride-lowering agent in the United States and the European Union. If the REDUCE-IT cardiovascular outcomes study is successful,Vascepa could be the first omega-3 based therapy approved for prevention of cardiovascular events as an add-on to statin therapy in this population.We believe the potential market for Vascepa is large and growing globally. According to Symphony Health data, we estimate that drug treatment forhypercholesterolemia patients exceeds $69 billion per year in the United States, with sales dominated by statin therapies. U.S. sales of fibrates as a class ofproducts were approximately $2.8 billion in 2017 with generic fenofibrate and gemfibrozil leading the class. U.S. gross sales of prescription omega-3therapies in 2017 were over $1.2 billion with generic Lovaza leading the class.Clinical TrialsThe MARINE Trial (basis for currently FDA-approved label for Vascepa)The MARINE trial, the largest study ever conducted with the omega-3 fatty acid ethyl EPA in treating patients with very high triglycerides (≥500mg/dL), was a Phase 3, multi-center, placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind, 12-week study. Patients were randomized into three treatment arms fortreatment with Vascepa 4 gram/day, 2 gram/day or placebo. Patient enrollment in this trial began in December 2009, and enrollment and randomization wascompleted in August 2010 at 229 patients. The primary endpoint in the trial was the percentage change in triglyceride level from baseline compared toplacebo after 12 weeks of treatment. The MARINE study primary endpoint was required to meet a stringent level of statistical significance of 1% (p < 0.01) inour special protocol assessment, or SPA, agreement with the FDA.In November 2010, we reported top-line data for the MARINE trial. In the trial, Vascepa met its primary endpoint at doses of 4 grams and 2 grams perday with median placebo-adjusted reductions in triglyceride levels of 33% (p < 0.0001) compared to placebo for 4 grams and 20% (p = 0.0051) compared toplacebo for 2 grams. The median baseline triglyceride levels were 703 mg/dL, 680 mg/dL and 657 mg/dL for the patient groups treated with placebo, 4 gramsof Vascepa and 2 grams of Vascepa, respectively.In a pre-specified secondary analysis in the subgroup of patients with baseline triglyceride > 750 mg/dL, representing 39% of all patients, the effect ofVascepa in reducing triglyceride levels compared to placebo was 45% for 4 grams and 33% for 2 grams, both statistically significant (p = 0.0001 for 4 gramsand p= 0.0016 for 2 grams, respectively). The median baseline triglyceride levels in this subgroup were 1052 mg/dL, 902 mg/dL and 948 mg/dL for placebo,4-gram and 2-gram groups, respectively. Twenty-five percent of patients in this trial were also on background statin therapy. These patients had greatermedian reduction in triglyceride levels, which was also statistically significant.Importantly, the significant reduction in triglycerides was not associated with a statistically significant increase in median LDL-C compared toplacebo at either dose (-2.3% for the 4-gram group and +5.2% for the 2-gram group [both p=NS]). In addition, there was a statistically significant decrease inmedian non-HDL-C (total cholesterol less so-called “good cholesterol”) compared to placebo with both of the Vascepa-treated groups (-18% for the 4-gramgroup [p < 0.001] and -8% for the 2-gram group [p < 0.05]).The MARINE trial results also included statistically significant reductions compared to placebo in several important lipid and inflammatorybiomarkers, including apo B (apolipoprotein B) (8.5%), Lp-PLA2 (lipoprotein-phospholipase A2) (13.6%), VLDL-C (very low-density lipoproteincholesterol) (28.6%), Total Cholesterol (16.3%), and hsCRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein) (36.0%) at the 4-gram dose. For these achieved endpoints, p-values were <0.01 for most and <0.05 for all. Apo B (apolipoprotein B) is believed to be a sensitive biomarker of cardiovascular risk and may be a betterpredictor of cardiovascular risk than LDL-C. Lp-PLA2 is an enzyme found in blood and atherosclerotic plaque; high levels have been implicated in thedevelopment and progression of atherosclerosis. In a post-hoc analysis of MARINE study data, Vascepa 4 g/day and 2 g/day statistically significantlyreduced ApoC-III levels by 25.1% (p < 0.0001) and 14.3% (p=0.0154) versus placebo, respectively. In the MARINE trial, patients treated with 4 grams perday of Vascepa experienced a significant reduction in median placebo-adjusted lipoprotein particle concentrations of total LDL and small LDL. Whenlooking at lipoprotein particle concentrations and sizes as measured with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Vascepa 4 grams per day, compared withplacebo, significantly reduced median total LDL particle count by 16.3% (p=0.0006), which is an important factor in atherogenesis. LDL particle count andapo B are important risk markers for the prediction of cardiovascular events. Small LDL particle count, which is a common risk factor for cardiovascularevents in patients with diabetes, was reduced by 25.6% (p<0.0001) compared with placebo. Vascepa 2 grams per day, compared with placebo, significantlyreduced median small LDL particle count by 12.8% (p <0.05) and reduced median total LDL particle count by 1.1% (NS). LDL particle size did not changesignificantly for the 2 or 4 gram per day doses.Vascepa was well tolerated in the MARINE trial, with a safety profile comparable to placebo and there were no treatment-related serious adverseevents observed. No patient discontinued treatment of Vascepa during this study due to Vascepa-related adverse events. No significant changes in fastingblood glucose, hemoglobin A1C, vital signs, electrocardiograms, or liver or kidney function were observed with either Vascepa dose.8 Patients enrolled in the MARINE trial were given the option to be treated with Vascepa for a period of up to 40 weeks after their last dose in thedouble-blind portion of the trial. Once participants completed the randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled 12-week MARINE registration trial, patientsin all three randomized groups (4 grams, 2 grams and placebo) were offered the opportunity to participate in the open label extension, or OLE, phase. Patientsin the OLE phase received 4 grams per day of Vascepa for a period of up to an additional 40 weeks. As is typical of such extension phases, the OLE phase wasnot a controlled trial, as differentiated from the randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled 12-week MARINE registration trial. In the OLE phase,participants were not randomized at entry, Vascepa administration was open-label (and thus not blinded), and no placebo group was maintained. Also, oncepatients entered in the OLE phase, investigators were free to add or modify other lipid-altering nutritional, lifestyle and drug treatment regimens. Given thelack of randomization, the open-label design, the addition of various other lipid-altering drugs and changes to doses of existing lipid-altering drugs, as wellas the lack of placebo control, neither we nor our independent advisors were able to draw efficacy conclusions from the data. However, we have concludedthat the MARINE OLE phase revealed no new safety signals after an additional 40 weeks of exposure to Vascepa, whether used alone or in combination withother lipid-altering regimens. The ANCHOR Trial (promoted in the United States under court declaration)The ANCHOR trial was a multi-center, placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind, 12-week pivotal study in patients with high triglycerides (≥200and <500 mg/dL) who were also receiving optimized statin therapy. Patients were randomized into three arms for treatment with Vascepa 4 gram/day, 2gram/day or placebo. Patient enrollment in this trial began in January 2010, and enrollment and randomization was completed in February 2011 at 702patients. The primary endpoint in the trial was the percentage change in triglyceride level from baseline compared to placebo after 12 weeks of treatment.In April 2011, we reported top-line results from the ANCHOR trial. The ANCHOR trial met its primary endpoint at doses of 4 grams and 2 grams perday with median placebo-adjusted reductions in triglyceride levels of 21.5% (p<0.0001 value) for 4 grams and 10.1% (p=0.0005) for 2 grams. The medianbaseline triglyceride levels were 259 mg/dL, 265 mg/dL and 254 mg/dL for the patient groups treated with placebo, 4 grams and 2 grams of Vascepa per day,respectively. The analysis of subgroups by baseline triglyceride tertiles showed that higher baseline triglycerides resulted in greater triglyceride reductions.One of the trial’s secondary endpoints was to demonstrate a lack of elevation in LDL-C, the primary target of cholesterol lowering therapy. The trial’snon-inferiority criterion for LDL-C was met at both Vascepa doses. The upper confidence boundaries for both doses were below the pre-specified +6% LDL-Cthreshold limit. At the 4-gram dose the upper confidence boundary was below zero (-1.7%) and at the 2-gram dose the upper confidence boundary was closeto zero (0.5%). For the 4 grams per day group, LDL-C decreased significantly by 6.2% from baseline versus placebo, demonstrating superiority over placebo(p=0.0067). For the 2-gram group, LDL-C decreased by 3.6% from baseline versus placebo (p=0.0867), which is not a statistically significant decrease.Other secondary efficacy endpoints included the median placebo-adjusted percent change in non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C),apolipoprotein B (apo B), and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2). The 4-gram dose was associated with statistically significant reductionsin non-HDL-C (13.6%, p<0.0001), apo B (9.3%, p<0.0001), Lp-PLA2 (19%, p<0.0001) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) (22%, p<0.001), atweek 12 compared to placebo. One published analysis showed that the Vascepa 4-gram daily dose in the ANCHOR study also significantly decreased levelsof the inflammatory marker oxidized low-density lipoprotein relative to placebo by 13% (p < 0.0001). In a separate, post-hoc analysis of study data, Vascepa4 g/day statistically significantly reduced ApoC-III levels by 25.1% in MARINE (p < 0.0001) and by 19.2% in ANCHOR (p < 0.0001) versus placebo.Vascepa was well tolerated in the ANCHOR trial with a safety profile comparable to placebo and there were no treatment-related serious adverseevents observed. No significant changes in fasting blood glucose, hemoglobin A1C, vital signs, electrocardiograms, or liver or kidney function wereobserved with either Vascepa dose. The safety results from the ANCHOR trial are included in the current FDA-approved label for Vascepa.In April 2015, we received a Complete Response Letter, or CRL, from the FDA in response to our supplemental new drug application, or sNDA, thatsought approval of Vascepa for use in patients with mixed dyslipidemia, based on the successful ANCHOR study. The CRL followed an October 2013rescission by the FDA of a special protocol assessment, or SPA, agreement and three failed attempts by us to appeal that rescission at FDA. The FDA hasacknowledged the success of the ANCHOR study, which met all primary and secondary endpoints. However, FDA determined that there were insufficient datato conclude that drug-induced changes in serum triglycerides could be recognized by the FDA as a valid surrogate for reducing cardiovascular risk in theANCHOR population for the purpose of regulatory approval of a drug targeted at a triglyceride-lowering indication in this population. The FDA hasacknowledged that the standard of proof required by the FDA for approval of a new drug indication is higher than that generally used to inform patienttreatment guidelines and that used by physicians in clinical practice. The FDA did not determine that the drug-induced effects of Vascepa, which go beyondtriglyceride-lowering, would not actually reduce cardiovascular risk in this population and the FDA has encouraged us to complete the REDUCE-IToutcomes study. Based on our communications with the FDA, we expect that final positive results from the REDUCE-IT outcomes study will be required forlabel expansion for Vascepa.9 In May 2015, we and a group of independent physicians filed a lawsuit in federal court to permit us to promote to healthcare professionals the use ofVascepa in patients with mixed dyslipidemia so long as the promotion is truthful and non-misleading. This use reflects recognized medical practice but is notcovered by current FDA-approved labeling for the drug. Historically, FDA has considered promotion of drug uses not covered by FDA-approved labeling tobe illegal off-label promotion, even if such promotion is truthful and non-misleading. In August 2015, we were granted preliminary relief in the form of adeclaratory judgment in this lawsuit. The court declaration permits us to promote to healthcare professionals the FDA-reviewed and agreed effects of Vascepademonstrated in the ANCHOR clinical trial and presentation of the current state of scientific research related to the potential of Vascepa to reduce the risk ofcardiovascular disease including through use of peer-reviewed scientific publications of available data. In August 2015, we began to communicatepromotional information beyond the MARINE indication to healthcare professionals in the United States as permitted by this court declaration and in March2016, the parties obtained court approval of negotiated settlement terms under which the FDA and the U.S. government agreed to be bound by the court’sconclusions from the August 2015 declaration that we may engage in truthful and non-misleading speech promoting the off-label use of Vascepa and thatcertain statements and disclosures that we proposed to make to healthcare professionals were truthful and non-misleading. While we believe we are nowpermitted under applicable law to more broadly promote Vascepa, the FDA-approved labeling for Vascepa did not change as a result of this litigation andsettlement, and neither government nor other third-party coverage or reimbursement to pay for the off-label use of Vascepa promoted under the courtdeclaration was required.Observed Efficacy of Ethyl-EPAIn Japan, ethyl-EPA is marketed under the product name of Epadel by Mochida Pharmaceutical Co. and is indicated for hyperlipidemia and peripheralvascular disease. In an outcomes study called the Japan EPA Lipid Intervention Study, or JELIS study, which consisted of more than 18,000 patients followedover multiple years, Epadel, when used in conjunction with statins, was shown to reduce cardiovascular events by 19% compared to the use of statins alone.In this study, cardiovascular events decreased by approximately 53% compared to statins alone in the subset of primary prevention patients with triglyceridelevels of ≥150 mg/dL (median of 272 mg/dL at entry) and HDL-C <40 mg/dL. Epadel has been approved and available by prescription in Japan for over adecade. In 2013, the Japan Ministry of Health approved Epadel for over-the-counter sales. JELIS provides supportive but not conclusive data that EPA drugtherapy may reduce major coronary events. JELIS results cannot be generalized to populations outside of Japan due to limitations in the study’s design.Further study is needed, such as the REDUCE-IT study, to determine the clinical benefit, if any, of EPA therapy in statin-treated patients with elevatedtriglyceride levels.Observed Clinical Safety of VascepaPrior to commencing the MARINE and ANCHOR trials, we conducted a pre-clinical program for Vascepa, including toxicology and pharmacologystudies. In addition, we previously investigated Vascepa in central nervous system disorders in several double-blind, placebo-controlled studies, includingPhase 3 trials in Huntington’s disease. Over 1,000 patients have been dosed with Vascepa in these studies, with over 100 receiving continuous treatment for ayear or more. In all studies performed to date, Vascepa has shown a favorable safety and tolerability profile. In both the MARINE and ANCHOR trials,patients dosed with Vascepa demonstrated a safety profile similar to placebo. There were no treatment-related serious adverse events in the MARINE study orin the ANCHOR study. In the MARINE and ANCHOR trials, the most commonly reported adverse reaction (incidence >2% and greater than placebo) inVascepa treated patients was arthralgia (joint pain) (2.3% for Vascepa vs. 1.0% for placebo). There was no reported adverse reaction > 3% and greater thanplacebo.In addition to the MARINE and ANCHOR trials, we completed a 28-day pharmacokinetic study in healthy volunteers, a 26-week study to evaluate thetoxicity of Vascepa in transgenic mice and multiple pharmacokinetic drug-drug interaction studies in healthy subjects in which we evaluated the effect ofVascepa on certain common prescription drugs. All findings from these studies were consistent with our expectations and confirmed the overall safety profileof Vascepa.The REDUCE-IT Study (currently ongoing cardiovascular outcomes study)In August 2011, we reached agreement with the FDA on a SPA for the design of the REDUCE-IT (Reduction of Cardiovascular Events with EPA—Intervention Trial) cardiovascular outcomes study. A SPA is an evaluation by the FDA of a protocol with the goal of reaching an agreement that the Phase 3trial protocol design, clinical endpoints, and statistical analyses are acceptable to support regulatory approval. The FDA agreed that, based on theinformation we submitted to the agency, the design and planned analysis of the REDUCE-IT study adequately addressed the objectives necessary to supporta regulatory submission. A SPA is generally binding upon the FDA unless a substantial scientific issue essential to determining safety or efficacy of the drugis identified after the testing begins. Moreover, any change to a study protocol can invalidate a SPA.In September 2011, we engaged a clinical research organization, or CRO, and began initial trial and clinical site preparation for REDUCE-IT. InDecember 2011, we announced that the first patient was dosed in the study.10 The REDUCE-IT study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of Vascepa in reducing major cardiovascular events in an at-risk patient population alsoreceiving statin therapy. REDUCE-IT is a multinational, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate theeffectiveness of Vascepa, as an add-on to statin therapy, in reducing first major cardiovascular events in an at-risk patient population compared to statintherapy alone. The control arm of the study is comprised of patients on optimized statin therapy plus placebo. The active arm of the study is comprised ofpatients on optimized statin therapy plus Vascepa. All subjects enrolled in the study will have elevated triglyceride levels and either coronary heart diseaseor risk factors for coronary heart disease. This study is being conducted internationally.In 2016, we completed patient enrollment and randomization of 8,175 individual patients into the REDUCE-IT study, exceeding the 8,000 patientstargeted for the trial. The REDUCE-IT study is designed to be completed after reaching 1,612 aggregate primary cardiovascular events. Based on projectedevent rates, we estimate the onset of the target aggregate number of primary cardiovascular events to be reached near the end of the first quarter of 2018 withstudy results then expected to be available and made public before the end of the third quarter of 2018, followed by publication of the results. Betweenreaching the estimated onset of the target 1,612 aggregate primary cardiovascular events and study data being unblinded and disclosed, vital data will becollected from all remaining living patients in the study and data in the study will be rolled-up for evaluation by the DMC and creation of a final studyreport. We have instructed clinical sites to schedule patients enrolled in the study for their final site visits commencing March 1, 2018.The REDUCE-IT study, since its inception in 2011, has been conducted under a SPA agreement with the FDA. This SPA, as amended, provides forperiodic safety reviews by the study’s DMC. In addition, the SPA, as amended, provided for interim efficacy and safety analyses by the study’s DMC atapproximately 60% and at approximately 80% of the target aggregate number of primary cardiovascular events. The periodic safety reviews and interimefficacy and safety analyses were conducted confidentially by the study’s DMC. We remain blinded to all data from the study. Until the study is completed orthe study is halted due to a patient safety concern (not expected), Amarin personnel will remain blinded to the efficacy and safety data from the REDUCE-ITstudy. Since patient enrollment commenced in 2011, over 33,000 patient years of study experience have been accumulated in the REDUCE-IT study.Following each periodic review of safety data to date, which have occurred quarterly since 2013, and following each of two interim efficacy and safetyanalyses, the DMC has communicated to us that we should continue the study as planned. The p-value used to assess the primary endpoint in REDUCE-IT atcompletion, assuming 1,612 aggregate primary cardiovascular events, is p< 0.0436. In January 2018, we announced that more than 90% of the 1,612 targetedaggregate number of primary cardiovascular events have been reported and documented.Our scientific rationale for the REDUCE-IT study is supported by (i) epidemiological data that suggests elevated triglyceride levels correlate withincreased cardiovascular disease risk, (ii) genetic data that suggests triglyceride and/or triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (as well as low-density lipoproteincholesterol (LDL cholesterol), known as bad cholesterol) are independently in the causal pathway for cardiovascular disease and (iii) clinical data thatsuggest substantial triglyceride reduction in patients with elevated baseline triglyceride levels correlates with reduced cardiovascular risk. Our scientificrationale for the REDUCE-IT study is also supported by research on the putative cardioprotective effects of EPA as presented in scientific literature. It ispossible that the effects of EPA may be due not to a single mode of action, such as triglyceride lowering, but rather to multiple mechanisms working together.Studies in the scientific literature explore potentially beneficial effects of EPA on multiple atherosclerosis processes, including endothelial function,oxidative stress, foam cell formation, inflammation/cytokines, plaque formation/progression, platelet aggregation, thrombus formation, and plaque rupture.The REDUCE-IT study is needed to determine the clinical benefit, if any, of EPA therapy in statin-treated patients with elevated triglyceride levels.We currently expect that final positive results of the REDUCE-IT study will be required for FDA label expansion of Vascepa. Based on the results ofREDUCE-IT, we may seek additional indications for Vascepa beyond the indications studied in the ANCHOR and MARINE trials such as potential indicateduses for prevention of cardiovascular events, although there can be no assurance as to whether the results of the study will support any such indication.New Lipid Compounds and other Preclinical ProgramsWe are also considering development of other next generation compounds based on our internal lipid science expertise, including potentialcombination and derivative therapies.In August 2013, we completed dosing of AMR102, a fixed dose combination of Vascepa and a leading statin product. The study is a randomized,open-label, single-dose, 4-way cross-over study to continue testing of the relative bioavailability of AMR102 capsules, Vascepa capsules with the selectedstatin taken concomitantly, Vascepa taken alone and the selected statin taken alone. The results of this study support the feasibility of AMR102. We havesuspended additional development of AMR102 pending FDA approval of label expansion of Vascepa, anticipated to occur no sooner than after FDA reviewof the results from the REDUCE-IT study. 11 We believe that Vascepa and other lipid-based compositions may have an impact on a number of biological factors in the body such as anti-inflammatory mechanisms, cell membrane composition and plasticity, triglyceride levels and regulation of glucose metabolism. Currently all otherdevelopment activities are at formulation or pre-clinical stages.Manufacturing and Supply for VascepaWe currently use third-party manufacturers to manufacture the clinical and commercial active pharmaceutical ingredient, or API, within Vascepa, andto encapsulate and package Vascepa. The FDA approval of Vascepa in July 2012 included the approval of one API manufacturer, Nisshin Pharma, Inc., orNisshin, and one API encapsulator, Patheon, Inc., or Patheon (formerly Banner Pharmacaps, now part of Thermo Fisher Scientific). Nisshin and Patheon are theAPI manufacturer and API encapsulator, respectively, with which we have had the longest working relationships. Their facilities were approved by the FDAfollowing successful preapproval inspections and they remain active manufacturers of Vascepa.We currently rely on Patheon and Capsugel Plöermel SAS (now a Lonza company) for the encapsulation of Vascepa and we have an encapsulationagreement with one other qualified commercial API encapsulator, Catalent Pharma Solutions.In addition to purchasing API from Nisshin, we have also purchased API from Chemport, Inc., or Chemport. In December 2012, we announced oursubmissions of two sNDAs to the FDA seeking approval for Chemport and BASF (formerly Equateq Limited) as additional Vascepa API manufacturers. InApril 2013, the FDA approved our sNDAs encompassing Chemport and BASF as additional Vascepa API suppliers. On December 30, 2013, we issued a noticeof termination of our API agreement to BASF as a result of BASF’s non-compliance with the terms of such agreement and the agreement subsequentlyterminated in the first quarter of 2014. BASF remains an approved API supplier. In December 2012, we announced an agreement with an exclusiveconsortium of companies led by Slanmhor Pharmaceutical, Inc., or Slanmhor. We submitted a sNDA in August 2013 seeking FDA approval for this supplier tomanufacture Vascepa API and in July 2014 the FDA approved our sNDA for Slanmhor as an API supplier. In July 2014, we terminated the supply agreementwith Slanmhor and subsequently, in June 2015, entered into a new supply agreement with Finorga SAS, or Novasep. API manufactured by Novasep waspreviously approved by the FDA in July 2014.The API material that constitutes ethyl-EPA is a modified, naturally occurring substance which is sourced from qualified producers of specific fish oils.A limited number of other manufacturers have the ability, scale, know-how and suitable facilities to produce ethyl-EPA to the required level of purity. Amongthe conditions for FDA approval of a pharmaceutical product is the requirement that the manufacturer’s quality control and manufacturing proceduresconform to pharmaceutical current Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, which must be followed at all times. The FDA typically inspects manufacturingfacilities before regulatory approval of a product candidate, such as Vascepa, and on a periodic basis after the initial approval. Consistent with cGMPregulations, pharmaceutical manufacturers must expend resources and time to ensure compliance with product specifications as well as production, recordkeeping, quality control, reporting, and other regulatory requirements.Some of our agreements with our API suppliers are exclusive and may include minimum purchase commitments. During 2017 and 2016, we fully metthe aggregate minimum purchase requirements in our supply agreements. Under the supply agreements, we can purchase more than the minimumrequirements. Certain of these agreements contemplate phased capacity expansion aimed at creating sufficient volumes to meet anticipated demand forVascepa. Certain of these agreements contain provisions for reduced payments (fractional API cost) for unmet annual volume requirements.Our Commercialization PlansWe currently market Vascepa in the United States through our direct sales force of approximately 165 sales professionals, including salesrepresentatives and their managers. We currently target clinicians who are top prescribers of lipid-regulating therapies. During the period from January 2013,when Vascepa was commercially launched in the United States, until October 2013, when the FDA notified us that it rescinded the ANCHOR study SPAagreement, our direct sales force was larger, consisting of approximately 275 sales representatives. Since then, through late 2017, the size of our direct salesforce has included approximately 130 to 150 sales representatives with focus on select sales territories that we believe have demonstrated the greatestpotential for Vascepa sales growth. We anticipate increasing our direct sales force to approximately 400 to 500 sales professionals after REDUCE-IT results,assuming success. Commencing in May 2014, in addition to Vascepa promotion by our sales representatives, Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. began co-promoting Vascepa in the United States. We also employ various medical affairs and marketing personnel to support our commercialization of Vascepa. Weintend to expand medical education and market awareness initiatives, including, in advance of REDUCE-IT results being known, pilot testing of newpromotional initiatives for potential broader applications following REDUCE-IT results.Since commercial launch of Vascepa in January 2013, we have promoted Vascepa based on the MARINE clinical trial data as reflected in the FDA-approved label for Vascepa. In August 2015, we and our co-promotion partner began communicating promotional information beyond MARINE clinical trialdata to targeted healthcare professionals. Such qualified communications are being made pursuant to the August 7, 2015 federal district court declaration andrelated March 2016 settlement allowing truthful and12 non-misleading promotion of the FDA-reviewed and agreed effects of Vascepa demonstrated in the ANCHOR clinical trial and presentation of the currentstate of scientific research related to the potential of Vascepa to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease including through use of peer-reviewed scientificpublications of available data.Until results of our cardiovascular outcomes trial, REDUCE-IT, show otherwise, we plan to continue to promote Vascepa based on the effects ofVascepa on surrogate biomarkers as studied in MARINE and ANCHOR and supportive but not conclusive data on the potential of Vascepa to reducecardiovascular risk in the relevant patient population. After results of REDUCE-IT are available, on the assumption that the study demonstrates that Vascepais effective in lowering the rate of major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with risk factors similar to those studied in REDUCE-IT, we intend toexpand the size of our U.S. direct sales force and seek to expand promotion of Vascepa based on the results of the REDUCE-IT trial.Outside of the United States, we have expanded our commercialization activities through partnering arrangements in certain territories. In February2015, we entered into a Development, Commercialization and Supply Agreement, or the DCS Agreement, with Eddingpharm (Asia) Macao CommercialOffshore Limited, or Eddingpharm, related to the development and commercialization of Vascepa in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, or theChina Territory. Under the DCS Agreement, Eddingpharm will be solely responsible for development and commercialization activities in the China Territoryand associated expenses. Additionally, Eddingpharm is required to conduct clinical trials in the China Territory to secure regulatory approval in certainterritories. For example, in December 2017, Eddingpharm commenced a pivotal clinical trial aimed to support the regulatory approval of the first indicationof Vascepa in a patient population with severe hypertriglyceridemia in Mainland China. Additional clinical development efforts may be necessary in thismarket. Significant commercialization of Vascepa in the China Territory is several years away, if at all. If Eddingpharm is not able to effectively develop andcommercialize Vascepa in the China Territory, we may not be able to generate revenue from the DCS Agreement resulting from the sale of Vascepa in theChina Territory.In March 2016, we entered into an agreement with Biologix FZCo, or Biologix, to register and commercialize Vascepa in several Middle Eastern andNorth African countries. Under the terms of the distribution agreement, we granted to Biologix a non-exclusive license to use our trademarks in connectionwith the importation, distribution, promotion, marketing and sale of Vascepa in the Middle East and North Africa territory. Commercialization across theMiddle East and North Africa is several years away, if at all, in the most commercially significant territories and subject to similar risks as in the ChinaTerritory.In September 2017, we entered into an agreement with HLS Therapeutics Inc., or HLS, to register, commercialize and distribute Vascepa in Canada.Under the agreement, HLS will be responsible for regulatory and commercialization activities and associated costs. We will be responsible for providingassistance towards local filings, supplying finished product under negotiated supply terms, maintaining intellectual property, and continuing thedevelopment and funding of REDUCE-IT. Significant commercialization of Vascepa in Canada is several years away, if at all. If HLS Therapeutics is not ableto effectively register and commercialize Vascepa in Canada, we may not be able to generate revenue from the agreement as a result of the sale of Vascepa inCanada.We continue to assess other partnership opportunities for licensing Vascepa to partners outside of the United States.CompetitionThe biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are highly competitive. There are many pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies,public and private universities and research organizations actively engaged in the research and development of products that may be similar to our products.It is probable that the number of companies seeking to develop products and therapies similar to our products will increase. Many of these and other existingor potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and human resources than we do and may be better equipped to develop, manufactureand market products. These companies may develop and introduce products and processes competitive with or superior to ours. In addition, othertechnologies or products may be developed that have an entirely different approach or means of accomplishing the intended purposes of our products, whichmight render our technology and products noncompetitive or obsolete.Our competitors both in the United States and abroad include large, well-established pharmaceutical and generic companies, specialty and genericpharmaceutical sales and marketing companies, and specialized cardiovascular treatment companies. GlaxoSmithKline plc currently sells Lovaza®, aprescription-only omega-3 fatty acid indicated for patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia, which was approved by FDA in 2004 and has been on themarket in the United States since 2005. Multiple generic versions of Lovaza are available in the United States. Other large companies with competitiveproducts include AbbVie, Inc., which currently sells Tricor® and Trilipix® for the treatment of severe hypertriglyceridemia, and Niaspan®, which is primarilyused to raise high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or HDL-C, but is also used to lower triglycerides. Multiple generic versions of Tricor, Trilipix, and Niaspanare also available in the United States. We compete with these drugs, and in particular, multiple low-cost generic versions of these drugs, in our FDA-approved indicated use and in off-label uses, such as to beneficially affect lipid levels in patients with persistent high triglyceride levels after statin therapywith the aim of potentially lowering cardiovascular risk beyond statin therapy.13 In addition, in May 2014, Epanova® (omega-3-carboxylic acids) capsules, a free fatty acid form of omega-3 (comprised of 55% EPA and 20% DHA),was approved by the FDA for patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia. Epanova was developed by Omthera Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and is now owned byAstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP (AstraZeneca). Also, in April 2014, Omtryg, another omega-3-acid fatty acid composition developed by Trygg Pharma AS,received FDA approval for severe hypertriglyceridemia. Neither Epanova nor Omtryg have been commercially launched, but could launch at any time. Eachof these competitors, other than potentially Trygg, has greater resources than we do, including financial, product development, marketing, personnel andother resources.Results of pending low dose omega-3 and other cardiovascular outcomes studies may negatively affect sales of Vascepa. For example, in 2018, resultsof both VITamin D and OmegA-3 TriaL (VITAL) and A Study of Cardiovascular Events iN Diabetes (ASCEND) trials are expected to be released. VITAL is anNIH funded randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2x2 factorial trial of 2000 IU per day of vitamin D3 and 1 gram per day of omega-3 fatty acidsupplementation (Lovaza) for the primary prevention of cancer and cardiovascular disease in a nationwide USA cohort of 25,874 adults not selected forelevated cardiovascular or cancer risk. ASCEND is a British Heart Foundation funded 2x2 factorial design, randomized study to assess whether aspirin 100mg daily versus placebo and separately, omega-3 fatty acids 1 gram daily versus placebo, reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in a nationwide UK cohortof over 15,000 individuals with diabetes who do not have atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Positive results due to the omega-3 component from one orboth trials may influence greater utilization of 1 gram daily of dietary supplements or Lovaza in a broad low cardiovascular risk population and in patientswith diabetes and may potentially cause an update of AHA recommendation for 1 gram per day of EPA and DHA based on trial results. Negative results fromsuch studies could create misleading impressions about the use of omega-3s generally, including Vascepa, despite the highly-pure EPA active ingredient inVascepa and its higher dose regimine. Also, AstraZeneca is currently conducting a long-term outcomes study to assess Statin Residual Risk Reduction WithEpaNova in HiGh Cardiovascular Risk PatienTs With Hypertriglyceridemia (STRENGTH). The study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled(corn oil), parallel group design that is believed to have enrolled approximately 13,000 patients with hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL and high risk forcardiovascular disease randomized 1:1 to either corn oil plus statin or Epanova plus statin, once daily, for approximately 3-5 years as determined when thenumber of major adverse cardiovascular event outcomes is reached. The STRENGTH study estimated completion date is in November 2019, but it could bestopped earlier if, for example, it generates an overwhelming efficacy result. In addition, Kowa Research Institute (a subsidiary of the Japanese companyKowa Co., Ltd) announced in March 2017 that it is initiating a phase III cardiovascular outcomes trial titled PROMINENT examining the effect ofpemafibrate (experimental name K-877) in reducing cardiovascular events in Type II diabetic patients with hypertriglyceridemia. Kowa Research Institutehas publicly estimated study completion in May 2022, and if successful, U.S. regulatory approval is estimated in mid-2023.We are also aware of other pharmaceutical companies that are developing products that, if successfully developed, approved and marketed, wouldcompete with Vascepa. Acasti Pharma, or Acasti, a subsidiary of Neptune Technologies & Bioresources Inc., announced in December 2015 that it intends topursue a regulatory pathway under section 505(b)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, for its omega-3 prescription drug candidate,CaPre®, derived from krill oil, for the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia. In September 2016, Acasti announced positive results from its pivotal bioavailabilitybridging study comparing CaPre to Lovaza, establishing a scientific bridge between the two that is expected to support the feasibility of a 505(b)(2)regulatory pathway. Acasti initiated a Phase 3 clinical program to assess the safety and efficacy of CaPre in patients with very high (≥500 mg/dL)triglycerides in the fourth quarter of 2017 and expects to begin dosing patients in the first quarter of 2018. Study completion is expected in 2019. We believeSancilio & Company, or Sancilio, is also developing potential treatments for hypertriglyceridemia based on omega-3 fatty acids. To our knowledge, Sanciliois pursuing a regulatory pathway under section 505(b)(2) of the FDCA for its product and submitted an Investigational New Drug Application, or IND, in July2015. Sancilio completed two pharmacokinetic studies and Phase 2 bioavailability studies (FASTR I&II), with one comparing SC401 to Lovaza. We expectthe company or a potential partner to initiate a pivotal clinical Phase 3 study as the next step in development. Matinas BioPharma, Inc. is developing anomega-3-based therapeutic (MAT9001) for the treatment of severe hypertriglyceridemia and mixed dyslipidemia. In the fourth quarter of 2014, MatinasBioPharma, Inc. filed an IND with the FDA to conduct a human study in the treatment of severe hypertriglyceridemia and, in June 2015, the companyannounced topline results for its head-to-head comparative pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study of MAT9001 versus Vascepa. In September 2017,Matinas announced that it will be seeking a partner company to develop and commercialize MAT9001. Akcea Therapeutics/Ionis Pharmaceuticals (formerlyIsis Pharmaceuticals), or Akcea/Ionis, in August 2017 announced the submission of an NDA to the FDA for volanesorsen (formerly ISIS-APOCIIIRx), a drugcandidate administered through weekly subcutaneous injections, for the treatment of familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS). The NDA submission wasbased on positive Phase 3 results from the APPROACH trial in patients with FCS and from the COMPASS trial in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia. APhase 3 trial is currently ongoing studying volanesorsen in patients with familial partial lipodystrophy (FPL) (BROADEN trial). Akcea/Ionis expects to filean NDA for FPL in 2019. In January 2017, Akcea/Ionis announced a strategic collaboration and option agreement with Novartis whereby Novartis will helpdevelop (including funding cardiovascular outcomes studies) and commercialize products emerging from this collaboration, including volanesorsen.Gemphire Therapeutics has announced plans to advance gemcabene into Phase 3 trials in 2018. Gemcabene is an oral, once-daily pill, for a number ofhypercholesterolemic populations and severe hypertriglyceridemia. Gemphire announced a Phase 2b trial (INDIGO-1) in patients with severehypertriglyceridemia is ongoing with top-line data expected in the second quarter of 2018. Zydus Cadila is conducting a Phase 2 trial of its lead program,Saroglitazar, in severe hypertriglyceridemia in the United States. The product is approved in India under the name Lipaglyn® for the treatment ofhypertriglyceridemia and diabetic dyslipidemia.14 Vascepa also faces competition from dietary supplement companies marketing omega-3 products as nutritional supplements. Such products areclassified as food, not as prescription drugs or as over-the-counter drugs, by the FDA. Many of the promoters of such products have greater resources thanAmarin and they are not restricted to the same standards as are prescription drugs with respect to promotional claims or manufacturing quality, consistencyand subsequent product stability. We cannot be sure physicians and pharmacists will view the FDA-approved prescription-only status, EPA-only purity ofVascepa and stringent regulatory oversight as significant advantages versus omega-3 dietary supplements regardless of clinical study results and otherscientific data.In addition, several generic drug companies have sought to challenge the validity and enforceability of our patents and have submitted to FDAapplications for approval of generic versions of Vascepa.Regulatory MattersGovernment Regulation and Regulatory MattersAny product development activities related to Vascepa or products that we may develop or acquire in the future will be subject to extensive regulationby various government authorities, including the FDA and comparable regulatory authorities in other countries, which regulate the design, research, clinicaland non-clinical development, testing, manufacturing, storage, distribution, import, export, labeling, advertising and marketing of pharmaceutical productsand devices. Generally, before a new drug can be sold, considerable data demonstrating its quality, safety and efficacy must be obtained, organized into aformat specific to each regulatory authority, submitted for review and approved by the regulatory authority. The data is generated in two distinctdevelopment stages: pre-clinical and clinical. Drugs must be approved by the FDA through the NDA process before they are first marketed in the UnitedStates. For new chemical entities, the pre-clinical development stage generally involves synthesizing the active component, developing the formulation,determining the manufacturing process and controls, as well as carrying out non-human toxicology, pharmacology and drug metabolism studies whichsupport subsequent clinical testing.The clinical stage of development can generally be divided into Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials. In Phase 1, generally, a small number ofhealthy volunteers are initially exposed to a single dose and then multiple doses of the product candidate. The primary purpose of these studies is to assessthe metabolism, pharmacologic action, side effect tolerability and safety of the drug. Phase 2 trials typically involve studies in disease-affected patients todetermine the dose required to produce the desired benefits. At the same time, safety and further pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic information iscollected. Phase 3 trials generally involve large numbers of patients at multiple sites, in multiple countries and are designed to provide the pivotal datanecessary to demonstrate the effectiveness of the product for its intended use, its safety in use, and may include comparisons with placebo and/or othercomparator treatments. The duration of treatment is often extended to mimic the actual use of a product during marketing.United States Drug DevelopmentIn the United States, the process of obtaining regulatory approvals and the subsequent compliance with appropriate federal, state, local, and foreignstatutes and regulations require the expenditure of substantial time and financial resources. Failure to comply with the applicable United States requirementsat any time during the product development process, approval process or after approval, may subject an applicant to administrative or judicial sanctions.These sanctions could include the FDA’s refusal to approve pending applications, withdrawal of an approval, a clinical hold, warning letters, product recalls,product seizures, total or partial suspension of production or distribution injunctions, fines, refusals of government contracts, restitution, disgorgement, orcivil or criminal penalties. Any agency or judicial enforcement action could have a material adverse effect on us.Prior to the start of human clinical studies for a new drug in the United States, preclinical laboratory and animal tests are often performed under theFDA’s Good Laboratory Practices regulations, or GLP, and an investigational new drug application, or IND, is filed with the FDA. Similar filings are requiredin other countries; however, data requirements and other information needed for a complete submission may differ in other countries. The amount of data thatmust be supplied in the IND depends on the phase of the study. Phase 1 studies typically require less data than larger Phase 3 studies. A clinical plan must besubmitted to the FDA prior to commencement of a clinical trial. If the FDA has concerns about the clinical plan or the safety of the proposed studies, it maysuspend or terminate the study at any time. Studies must be conducted in accordance with Good Clinical Practice, or GCP, and regular reporting of studyprogress and any adverse experiences is required. Studies are also subject to review by independent institutional review boards, or IRBs, responsible foroverseeing studies at particular sites and protecting human research study subjects. An independent IRB may also suspend or terminate a study onceinitiated.NDA and FDA Review ProcessFollowing trial completion, trial data is analyzed to determine safety and efficacy. Data is then filed with the FDA in an NDA along with proposedlabeling for the product and information about the manufacturing and testing processes and facilities that will be used to ensure product quality. The NDAmust contain proof of safety, purity, potency and efficacy, which entails extensive pre-clinical and clinical testing. FDA approval of an NDA must beobtained before first marketing of a drug in the United States.15 The FDA will likely re-analyze the clinical trial data, which could result in iterative discussions between the FDA and us during the review process.The review and evaluation of applications by the FDA is extensive and time consuming and may take longer than originally planned to complete. The FDAmay conduct a pre-approval inspection of the manufacturing facilities for the new product to determine whether they comply with current GoodManufacturing Practice, or cGMP, requirements and may also audit data from clinical and pre-clinical trials.There is no assurance that the FDA will ultimately approve a drug product for marketing in the United States. Even if future indications for Vascepaare approved, the FDA’s review will be lengthy, and we may encounter significant difficulties or costs during the review process. After approving any drugproduct, the FDA may require post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the effects of approved products or it may place conditions on approvalsincluding potential requirements or risk management plans that could restrict the commercial promotion, distribution, prescription or dispensing of products.Product approvals may be withdrawn for non-compliance with regulatory standards or if problems occur following initial marketing. Off-label Promotion in the United StatesThe FDCA has been interpreted by the FDA to make it illegal for pharmaceutical companies to promote their FDA-approved products for uses thathave not been approved by the FDA. Companies that market drugs for off-label uses or indications have been subject to related costly litigation, criminalpenalties and civil liability under the FDCA and the False Claims Act.In May 2015, we and a group of independent physicians filed a lawsuit against the FDA seeking a federal court declaration that would permit us andour agents to promote to healthcare professionals the use of Vascepa in patients with mixed dyslipidemia and promote on the potential of Vascepa to reducethe risk of cardiovascular disease so long as the promotion is truthful and non-misleading. This use of Vascepa at issue reflects recognized medical practicebut was not approved by the FDA and is thus not covered by current FDA-approved labeling for the drug. Promotion of an off-label use is considered by theFDA to be illegal under the FDCA. The lawsuit, captioned Amarin Pharma, Inc., et al. v. Food & Drug Administration, et al., 119 F. Supp. 3d 196 (S.D.N.Y.2015), was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In the lawsuit, we contended principally that FDA regulationslimiting off-label promotion of truthful and non-misleading information are unconstitutional under the freedom of speech clause of the First Amendment tothe U.S. Constitution as applied in the case of our proposed promotion of Vascepa. The physicians in the suit regularly treated patients at risk ofcardiovascular disease and, as the complaint contended, have First Amendment rights to receive truthful and non-misleading information from Amarin. Thesuit was based on the principle that better informed physicians make better treatment decisions for their patients. The FDA opposed this lawsuit but did notdispute the veracity of the subject ANCHOR clinical trial data (the safety data from which is already in FDA-approved labeling of Vascepa) or the peer-reviewed research related to Vascepa and the potential for cardiovascular risk reduction.In connection with this litigation, the FDA sent a detailed letter to us on June 5, 2015 that confirmed the validity of the ANCHOR trial results. Theletter also sought to clarify how, in the FDA’s view, applicable law and FDA policies apply to the communications proposed in our complaint. The FDAstated in this letter that it did not have concerns with much of the information we proposed to communicate and provided us with guidance on the FDA’sview of lawful, but limited paths for the dissemination and communication to healthcare professionals of the effects of Vascepa demonstrated in theANCHOR clinical trial and use of peer-reviewed scientific publications in the context of appropriate disclaimers.In August 2015, we were granted preliminary relief in this lawsuit through the court’s declaratory judgment that confirmed we may engage in truthfuland non-misleading speech promoting the off-label use of Vascepa to healthcare professionals, i.e., to treat patients with persistently high triglycerides, andthat such speech may not form the basis of a misbranding action under the FDCA. In August 2015, we began to communicate promotional informationbeyond the MARINE indication to healthcare professionals in the United States as permitted by this court declaration. The FDA did not appeal the court’sruling. In March 2016, we settled this litigation under terms by which the FDA and the U.S. government agreed to be bound by the conclusions from thefederal court order that we may engage in truthful and non-misleading speech promoting the off-label use of Vascepa and that certain statements anddisclosures that we proposed to make to healthcare professionals were truthful and non-misleading.While we believe we are now permitted under applicable law to more broadly promote Vascepa, the FDA-approved labeling for Vascepa did notchange as a result of this litigation and settlement, and neither government nor other third-party coverage or reimbursement to pay for the off-label use ofVascepa promoted under the court declaration was required. Based on our communications with the FDA, we expect that final positive results from theREDUCE-IT outcomes study will be required for label expansion for Vascepa.Even though we have the benefit of a final settlement in this litigation, our promotion is still subject to a high, perhaps abnormally high, degree ofscrutiny to ensure that our promotion remains within the scope covered by the settlement. For example, under the settlement, we remain responsible forensuring our speech is truthful and non-misleading. Federal and state governments or agencies may also seek to find other means to prevent our promotion ofunapproved truthful and non-misleading information about16 Vascepa. If our promotional activities or other operations are found to be in violation of any of law or governmental regulation through existing or newinterpretations, we may be subject to prolonged litigation, penalties, including civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines and the curtailment orrestructuring of our operations. Also, if governmental parties or our competitors view our claims as misleading or false, we could also be subject to liabilitybased on fair competition-based statutes, such as the Lanham Act. Any of such negative circumstances could adversely affect our ability to operate ourbusiness and our results of operations.Foreign Regulation of New Drug CompoundsIn addition to regulations in the United States, we may be subject to a variety of regulations in other jurisdictions governing, among other things,clinical trials and any commercial sales and distribution of our products.Whether or not we obtain FDA approval for a product, we must obtain the requisite approvals from regulatory authorities in all or most foreigncountries prior to the commencement of clinical trials or marketing of the product in those countries. Certain countries outside of the United States have asimilar process that requires the submission of a clinical trial application, or CTA, much like the IND prior to the commencement of human clinical trials. InEurope, for example, a CTA must be submitted to each country’s national health authority and an independent ethics committee, much like the FDA and IRB,respectively. Once the CTA is approved in accordance with a country’s requirements, clinical trial development may proceed. Similarly, clinical trialsconducted in countries such as Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, require review and approval of clinical trial proposals by an ethics committee, whichprovides a combined ethical and scientific review process. Most countries in which clinical studies are conducted require the approval of the clinical trialproposals by both the regulatory body and ethics committee.The requirements and process governing the conduct of clinical trials, product licensing, pricing and reimbursement vary from country to country. Inall cases, the clinical trials must be conducted in accordance with GCP, which have their origin in the World Medical Association’s Declaration of Helsinki,the applicable regulatory requirements, and guidelines developed by the International Conference on Harmonization, or ICH, for GCP practices in clinicaltrials.Post-Marketing RequirementsFollowing approval of a new product, a pharmaceutical company generally must engage in numerous specific monitoring and recordkeepingactivities, such as routine safety surveillance, and must continue to submit periodic and other reports to the applicable regulatory agencies, including anycases of adverse events and appropriate quality control records. Such reports submitted to the FDA may result in changes to the label and/or other post-marketing requirements or actions, including product withdrawal. These are viable risks once a product is on the market. Additionally, modifications orenhancements to the products or labeling or changes of site of manufacture are often subject to the approval of the FDA and other regulators, which may ormay not be received or may result in a lengthy review process.Prescription drug advertising is subject to federal, state and foreign regulations. In the United States, the FDA regulates prescription drug promotion,including direct-to-consumer advertising. Prescription drug promotional materials must be submitted to the FDA in conjunction with their first use. Anydistribution of prescription drug products and pharmaceutical samples must comply with the U.S. Prescription Drug Marketing Act, or the PDMA, a part ofthe FDCA.In the United States, once a product is approved, its manufacture is subject to comprehensive and continuing regulation by the FDA. The FDAregulations require that products be manufactured in specific approved facilities and in accordance with pharmaceutical cGMPs, and NDA holders must listtheir products and register their manufacturing establishments with the FDA. These regulations also impose certain organizational, procedural anddocumentation requirements with respect to manufacturing and quality assurance activities. NDA holders using contract manufacturers, laboratories orpackagers are responsible for the selection and monitoring of qualified firms, and, in certain circumstances, qualified suppliers to these firms. These firms and,where applicable, their suppliers are subject to inspections by the FDA at any time, and the discovery of violative conditions, including failure to conform tocGMPs, could result in enforcement actions that interrupt the operation of any such facilities or the ability to distribute products manufactured, processed ortested by them.Federal and State Fraud and Abuse LawsIn addition to FDA restrictions on marketing of pharmaceutical products, several other types of state and federal laws restrict certain marketingpractices in the biopharmaceutical industry. These laws include anti-kickback statutes and false claims statutes.The federal anti-kickback statute prohibits, among other things, knowingly and willfully offering, paying, soliciting, or receiving remuneration toinduce or in return for a referral or the purchasing, leasing, ordering, or arranging for or recommending the purchase, lease, or order of any healthcare facility,item or service reimbursable under Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal healthcare programs. This statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangementsbetween pharmaceutical manufacturers on one hand and prescribers, purchasers, and formulary managers on the other. Liability may be established without aperson or entity having actual knowledge of17 the federal anti-kickback statute or specific intent to violate it. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting froma violation of the federal anti-kickback statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the federal civil False Claims Act. Although there are anumber of statutory exemptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting certain activities from prosecution, the exemptions and safe harbors are drawnnarrowly, and practices that involve remuneration intended to induce prescribing, purchases, or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do notqualify for an exemption or safe harbor. Moreover, there are no safe harbors for many common practices, such as educational and research grants or patientassistance programs. Our practices may not in all cases meet all of the criteria for safe harbor protection from anti-kickback liability. The federal civil FalseClaims Act prohibits, among other things, any person from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, a false or fraudulent claim for payment ofgovernment funds, or knowingly making or using, or causing to be made or used, a false record or statement material to an obligation to pay money to thegovernment or knowingly concealing, or knowingly and improperly avoiding, decreasing, or concealing an obligation to pay money to the federalgovernment. The False Claims Act also permits a private individual acting as a “whistleblower” to bring actions on behalf of the federal government allegingviolations of the statute and to share in any monetary recovery. Recently, several pharmaceutical and other healthcare companies have been investigated orfaced enforcement actions under the federal civil False Claims Act for a variety of alleged improper marketing activities, including providing free product tocustomers with the expectation that the customers would bill federal programs for the product; providing consulting fees, grants, free travel, and otherbenefits to physicians to induce them to prescribe the company’s products; or causing false claims to be submitted because of the company’s marketing of theproduct for unapproved, and thus non-reimbursable, uses. Pharmaceutical and other healthcare companies also are subject to other federal false claims laws,including, among others, federal criminal healthcare fraud and false statement statutes that extend to non-government health benefit programs.The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic andClinical Health Act (HITECH), among other things, imposes criminal and civil liability for knowingly and willfully executing a scheme to defraud anyhealthcare benefit program, including private third-party payor and knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or makingany materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services. In addition,HITECH imposes certain requirements relating to the privacy, security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. As of August 1, 2013, the federal Physician Payment Sunshine Act, being implemented as the Open Payments Program, requires certain manufacturersof drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies to engage in extensive tracking of payments and other transfers of value to physicians and teachinghospitals, including physician ownership and investment interests, and public reporting of such data. Pharmaceutical and biological manufacturers withproducts for which payment is available under Medicare, Medicaid or the State Children’s Health Insurance Program are required to have started trackingsuch payments on August 1, 2013, and must submit a report on or before the 90th day of each calendar year disclosing reportable payments made in theprevious calendar year.The majority of states also have statutes or regulations similar to the federal anti-kickback law and false claims laws, which apply to items and servicesreimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs, or, in several states, apply regardless of the payer. Sanctions under these federal and state laws mayinclude civil monetary penalties, exclusion of a manufacturer’s products from reimbursement under government programs, criminal fines, and imprisonment.There are also state laws requiring pharmaceutical companies to report gifts and other expenses relating to the marketing and promotion of pharmaceuticalproducts; prohibiting certain marketing-related activities including the provision of gifts, meals, or other items to certain healthcare providers; and/orrequiring pharmaceutical companies to implement compliance programs or marketing codes. Because of the breadth of these laws and the narrowness of theexceptions or safe harbors, it is possible that some of our business activities could be subject to challenge under one or more of such laws. Such a challengecould have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. As a company marketing an FDA-approved product in theUnited States, our operations may be directly, or indirectly through our customers, subject to various federal and state fraud and abuse laws, including,without limitation, the federal anti-kickback statute. These laws may impact, among other things, our proposed sales, marketing and education programs. Inaddition, we may be subject to patient privacy regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business.If our promotional activities or other operations are found to be in violation of any of the laws described above or any other governmental regulationsthat apply to us through existing or new interpretations, we may be subject to prolonged litigation, penalties, including civil and criminal penalties,damages, fines and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations. Also, if governmental parties or our competitors view our claims as misleading or false,we could also be subject to liability based on fair competition-based statutes, such as the Lanham Act. Any of such negative circumstances could adverselyaffect our ability to operate our business and our results of operations.In the United States and foreign jurisdictions, there have been a number of legislative and regulatory changes to the healthcare system that couldaffect our future results of operations. In particular, there have been and continue to be a number of initiatives at the United States federal and state levels thatseek to reduce healthcare costs. The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003, or the MMA, imposed new requirements forthe distribution and pricing of prescription drugs for Medicare beneficiaries. Under Part D, Medicare beneficiaries may enroll in prescription drug plansoffered by private entities which18 will provide coverage of outpatient prescription drugs. Part D plans include both stand-alone prescription drug benefit plans and prescription drug coverageas a supplement to Medicare Advantage plans. Unlike Medicare Part A and B, Part D coverage is not standardized. Part D prescription drug plan sponsors arenot required to pay for all covered Part D drugs, and each drug plan can develop its own drug formulary that identifies which drugs it will cover and at whattier or level. However, Part D prescription drug formularies must include drugs within each therapeutic category and class of covered Part D drugs, though notnecessarily all the drugs in each category or class. Any formulary used by a Part D prescription drug plan must be developed and reviewed by a pharmacy andtherapeutic committee. Government payment for some of the costs of prescription drugs may increase demand for our products for which we receivemarketing approval. However, any negotiated prices for our products covered by a Part D prescription drug plan will likely be lower than the prices we mightotherwise obtain. Moreover, while the MMA applies only to drug benefits for Medicare beneficiaries, private payers often follow Medicare coverage policyand payment limitations in setting their own payment rates. Any reduction in payment that results from the MMA may result in a similar reduction inpayments from non-governmental payers. In addition, there has been renewed interest in amending the Social Security Act to allow Medicare to negotiateprices for prescription drugs covered under Medicare Part B. If this were to be enacted by Congress and signed by the President, the prices we obtain for ourproducts covered under Part B could be lower than the prices we might otherwise obtain, and it could exert a similar lowering pressure on payments from non-governmental payers.The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), established by the MMA and provided additional funding by The American Recovery andReinvestment Act of 2009, conducts comparative effectiveness research on different treatments for the same illness. Although the results of the comparativeeffectiveness studies are not intended to mandate coverage policies for public or private payers, is it possible that comparative effectiveness researchdemonstrating benefits in a competitor’s product could adversely affect the sales of our product candidates. If third-party payers do not consider our productsto be cost-effective compared to other available therapies, they may not cover our products as a benefit under their plans or, if they do, the level of paymentmay not be sufficient to allow us to sell our products on a profitable basis.In March 2010 the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively thePPACA, was enacted, which includes measures to significantly change the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. Among theprovisions of the PPACA of greatest importance to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry are the following: •an annual, nondeductible fee on any entity that manufactures or imports certain branded prescription drugs and biologic products, apportionedamong these entities according to their market share in certain government healthcare programs, that began in 2011; •a licensure framework for follow-on biologic products; •a new Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee, identify priorities in, and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research,along with funding for such research; •creation of the Independent Payment Advisory Board which, beginning in 2014, will have authority to recommend certain changes to theMedicare program that could result in reduced payments for prescription drugs and those recommendations could have the effect of law even ifCongress does not act on the recommendations; and •establishment of a Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to test innovative paymentand service delivery models to lower Medicare and Medicaid spending, potentially including prescription drug spending that began onJanuary 1, 2011.It appears likely that the PPACA will continue to exert pressure on pharmaceutical pricing, especially under the Medicare and Medicaid programs, andmay also increase our regulatory burdens and operating costs. Legislative changes to the PPACA remain possible under the Trump Administration.Other Regulatory MattersManufacturing, sales, promotion, importation, and other activities related to approved products are also subject to regulation by numerous regulatoryauthorities, including, in the United States, the FDA, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, other divisions of the Department of Health and HumanServices, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, the Occupational Safety & HealthAdministration, the Environmental Protection Agency, and state and local governments. Sales, marketing and scientific/educational programs must complywith the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the Anti-Kickback Statute, and the False Claims Act and similar state laws. Pricing and rebate programs must complywith the Medicaid rebate requirements of the U.S. Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990. If products are made available to authorized users of theFederal Supply Schedule of the General Services Administration, additional laws and requirements apply. Products must meet applicable child-resistantpackaging requirements under the U.S. Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The19 distribution of pharmaceutical products is subject to additional requirements and regulations, including extensive record-keeping, licensing, storage andsecurity requirements intended to prevent the unauthorized sale of pharmaceutical products.The failure to comply with regulatory requirements subjects firms to possible legal or regulatory action. Depending on the circumstances, failure tomeet applicable regulatory requirements can result in criminal prosecution, fines or other penalties, injunctions, recall or seizure of products, total or partialsuspension of production, denial or withdrawal of product approvals, or refusal to allow a firm to enter into supply contracts, including government contracts.In addition, even if a firm complies with FDA and other requirements, new information regarding the safety or effectiveness of a product could lead the FDAto modify or withdraw a product approval. Prohibitions or restrictions on sales or withdrawal of future products marketed by us could materially affect ourbusiness in an adverse way.Changes in regulations or statutes or the interpretation of existing regulations could impact our business in the future by requiring, for example:(i) changes to our manufacturing arrangements; (ii) additions or modifications to product labeling; (iii) the recall or discontinuation of our products; or(iv) additional record-keeping requirements. If any such changes were to be imposed, they could adversely affect the operation of our business.FDA Marketing Exclusivity and Generic CompetitionThe FDCA, as amended by the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, as amended, or the Hatch-Waxman Amendments,provides for market exclusivity provisions that can help protect the exclusivity of new drugs by delaying the acceptance and final approval of certaincompetitive drug applications. NCE marketing exclusivity precludes approval during the five-year exclusivity period of certain 505(b)(2) applications andabbreviated new drug applications, or ANDAs, submitted by another company for another version of the drug. However, an application may be submittedafter four years if it contains a certification of patent invalidity or non-infringement. In this case, Amarin, as a pioneer drug company, is afforded the benefit ofa 30-month stay against the launch of such a competitive product that extends from the end of the five-year exclusivity period. A pioneer company couldalso be afforded extensions to the stay under applicable regulations, including a six-month pediatric exclusivity extension or a judicial extension ifapplicable requirements are met. A drug sponsor could also gain a form of marketing exclusivity under the Hatch-Waxman Amendments if such companycan, under certain circumstances, complete a human clinical trial process and obtain regulatory approval of its product. Additional three-year periods ofexclusivity can be obtained for studies resulting in approval for new uses of existing drugs that protect the pioneer drug company from approval of ANDAapplications made with reference to the new use during the three years from approval.The FDA typically makes a determination on marketing exclusivity in connection with an NDA approval of a drug for a new indication. FDAmarketing exclusivity is separate from, and in addition to, patent protection, trade secrets and manufacturing barriers to entry, which also help protectVascepa against generic competition.We applied to the FDA for five-year, NCE marketing exclusivity for Vascepa in connection with the NDA for our MARINE indication, which NDA wasapproved by the FDA on July 26, 2012. On February 21, 2014, in connection with the July 26, 2012 approval of the MARINE indication, the FDA denied agrant of five-year NCE marketing exclusivity to Vascepa and granted three-year marketing exclusivity. Under applicable regulations, such three-yearexclusivity would have extended through July 25, 2015 and would have been supplemented by a 30-month stay triggered by patent litigation that wouldhave extended into September 2016, unless such patent litigation was resolved against us sooner.On February 27, 2014, we sued the FDA in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to challenge the agency’s denial of five-year NCEexclusivity for Vascepa, based on our reading of the relevant statute, our view of FDA’s inconsistency with its past actions in this area and the retroactiveeffect of what we believe is a new policy at FDA as it relates to our situation. On May 28, 2015, the court granted our motion for summary judgment. Thedecision vacated the FDA’s denial of our claim for such exclusivity and remanded to the FDA for proceedings consistent with the decision. On July 22, 2015,Watson Laboratories Inc., the purported first Vascepa ANDA filer, sought to intervene and appeal the court’s decision. We and FDA opposed this interventioneffort. The applicable courts denied Watson the relief sought and appeal periods have expired.Based on the May 28, 2015 District of Columbia court order granting our motion for summary judgment in the NCE litigation, on June 26, 2015, theparties to the related Vascepa patent litigation that followed acceptance by FDA of ANDAs to Vascepa, based on a three-year regulatory exclusivitydetermination, agreed to a full stay of proceeding in that patent litigation.Following the May 28, 2015 District of Columbia court order setting aside FDA’s denial of NCE exclusivity for Vascepa, FDA notified the ANDAfilers that FDA had changed the status of their ANDAs to submitted, but no longer accepted, and notified ANDA filers that FDA had ceased review of thepending ANDAs. In rescinding acceptance of the ANDAs, the statutory basis for the patent litigation (accepted ANDAs) no longer existed. Thus, on July 24,2015, we moved to dismiss the pending patent infringement lawsuits against each of the Vascepa ANDA applicants in the U.S. District Court for the Districtof New Jersey.20 On January 22, 2016, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey granted our motion to dismiss all patent infringement litigation related tothe 2014 acceptance by the FDA of ANDAs to Vascepa. An appeal of the court’s dismissal was filed by one ANDA filer and, after FDA’s May 2016 grant ofVascepa NCE exclusivity, that appeal was withdrawn by the ANDA filer. This dismissal and terminated appeal ended this patent litigation related to Vascepa.On May 31, 2016, in a reversal that FDA and we view as consistent with the court’s May 28, 2015 summary judgment motion, FDA determined thatVascepa is eligible for five-year, NCE marketing exclusivity. This determination provides Vascepa with the benefits of NCE exclusivity afforded by statute.NCE exclusivity for Vascepa ran from its date of FDA approval on July 26, 2012 and extended until July 26, 2017. The statutory 30-month stay triggered bypatent litigation following generic application submissions permitted on July 26, 2016 would continue until January 26, 2020, seven-and-a-half yearsfrom FDA approval, unless such patent litigation was resolved against us sooner.It is possible that FDA’s NCE determination could be challenged by interested parties. If challenged, we plan to vigorously support FDA’sdetermination. Any such challenge could have a negative impact on our company and create uncertainty around the continued benefits associated with afive-year exclusivity status.In September and October 2016, we received paragraph IV certification notices from four companies contending to varying degrees that certain of ourpatents are invalid, unenforceable and/or will not be infringed by the manufacture, use, sale or offer for sale of a generic form of Vascepa as described in thosecompanies’ ANDAs. These certifications were expected given the eligibility for submission of ANDAs under the NCE regulatory structure, after theexpiration of four years from the July 2012 approval of Vascepa.We are now in the process of defending the exclusivity of Vascepa through patent litigation against the ANDA filers. In the related lawsuits, we areseeking, among other remedies, an order enjoining filers from marketing generic versions of Vascepa before the last to expire of the asserted patents in 2030.We intend to vigorously enforce our intellectual property rights relating to Vascepa, but we cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits or any subsequentlyfiled lawsuits.If an ANDA filer is ultimately successful in patent litigation against us, it meets the requirements for a generic version of Vascepa to the satisfaction ofthe FDA under its ANDA (after the applicable regulatory exclusivity period and the litigation-related 30-month stay period ends), and is able to supply theproduct in significant commercial quantities, the generic company could introduce a generic version of Vascepa. Such a market entry would likely limit ourU.S. sales substantially, which would have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations. In addition, even if a competitor’s effort to introduce ageneric product is ultimately unsuccessful, the perception that such development is in progress and/or news related to such progress could materially affectthe perceived value of our company and our stock price.Patents, Proprietary Technology, Trade SecretsOur success depends in part on our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our drug candidates, technology and know-how,and to operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others. Our ability to successfully implement our business plan and to protect our products with ourintellectual property will depend in large part on our ability to: •obtain, defend and maintain patent protection and market exclusivity for our current and future products; •preserve any trade secrets relating to our current and future products; •acquire patented or patentable products and technologies; and •operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties.We have prosecuted, and are currently prosecuting, multiple patent applications to protect the intellectual property developed during the Vascepadevelopment program. As of the date of this report, we had 62 patent applications in the United States that have been either issued or allowed and more than30 additional patent applications are pending in the United States. Such 62 allowed and issued applications include the following: •2 issued U.S. patents directed to a pharmaceutical composition of Vascepa in a capsule that have terms that expire in 2020 and 2030,respectively; •1 issued U.S. patent covering a composition containing highly pure EPA that expires in 2021; •45 U.S. patents covering or related to the use of Vascepa in either the MARINE or ANCHOR populations that have terms that expire in 2030 orlater; •4 additional patents related to the use of a pharmaceutical composition comprised of free fatty acids to treat the ANCHOR patient populationwith a term that expires in 2030 or later; •2 additional patents related to the use of a pharmaceutical composition comprised of free fatty acids to treat the MARINE patient populationwith a term that expires in 2030;21 •1 additional patent related to a pharmaceutical composition comprised of free fatty acids and uses thereof to treat both the MARINE andANCHOR patient populations with a term that expires in 2030; •1 additional patent related to a formulation of EPA/DHA and uses thereof with a term that expires in 2030; •1 additional patent related to the use of Vascepa to treat obesity with a term that expires in 2030; •2 additional patents covering a pharmaceutical composition comprised of EPA and a hydroxyl compound with a term that expires in 2034; and •3 additional patents covering a new combination therapy comprised of EPA and another drug.A Notice of Allowance is issued after the USPTO makes a determination that a patent can be granted from an application. A Notice of Allowance doesnot afford patent protection until the underlying patent is issued by the USPTO. No assurance can be given that applications with issued notices of allowancewill be issued as patents or that any of our pending patent applications will issue as patents. No assurance can be given that, if and when issued, our patentswill prevent competitors from competing with Vascepa. For example, we may choose to not assert all issued patents in patent litigation and patents or claimswithin patents may be determined to be invalid.We are also pursuing patent applications related to Vascepa in multiple jurisdictions outside the United States. We may be dependent in some casesupon third-party licensors to pursue filing, prosecution and maintenance of patent rights or applications owned or controlled by those parties. It is possiblethat third parties will obtain patents or other proprietary rights that might be necessary or useful to us. In cases where third parties are first to invent aparticular product or technology, or first to file after various provisions of the America Invents Act of 2011 went into effect on March 16, 2013, it is possiblethat those parties will obtain patents that will be sufficiently broad so as to prevent us from utilizing such technology or commercializing our current andfuture products.Although we intend to make reasonable efforts to protect our current and future intellectual property rights and to ensure that any proprietarytechnology we acquire or develop does not infringe the rights of other parties, we may not be able to ascertain the existence of all potentially conflictingclaims. Therefore, there is a risk that third parties may make claims of infringement against our current or future products or technologies. In addition, thirdparties may be able to obtain patents that prevent the sale of our current or future products or require us to obtain a license and pay significant fees orroyalties in order to continue selling such products.We may in the future discover the existence of products that infringe patents that we own or that have been licensed to us. If we were to initiate legalproceedings against a third party to stop such an infringement, such proceedings could be costly and time consuming, regardless of the outcome. Noassurances can be given that we would prevail, and it is possible that, during such a proceeding, our patent rights could be held to be invalid, unenforceableor both. Although we intend to protect our trade secrets and proprietary know-how through confidentiality agreements with our manufacturers, employeesand consultants, we may not be able to prevent parties subject to such confidentiality agreements from breaching these agreements or third parties fromindependently developing or learning of our trade secrets.We anticipate that competitors may from time to time oppose our efforts to obtain patent protection for new technologies or to submit patentedtechnologies for regulatory approvals. Competitors may seek to oppose our patent applications to delay the approval process or to challenge our grantedpatents, for example, by requesting a reexamination of our patent at the USPTO, or by filing an opposition in a foreign patent office, even if the opposition orchallenge has little or no merit. For example, one of our patents was revoked in an opposition proceeding in Europe due to a determination of improper claimamendments under a provision of law not applicable in the United States. Such proceedings are generally highly technical, expensive, and time consuming,and there can be no assurance that such a challenge would not result in the narrowing or complete revocation of any patent of ours that was so challenged.EmployeesAt February 23, 2018, we had 241 full-time employees employed in sales, marketing, general and administrative and research and developmentfunctions. We believe our relations with our employees are good.22 Organizational StructureAt February 23, 2018, we had the following subsidiaries: Subsidiary Name Country ofIncorporationor Registration Proportion ofOwnership Interest andVoting Power Held Amarin Pharmaceuticals Ireland Limited Ireland 100% Amarin Pharma Inc. United States 100% Amarin Neuroscience Limited Scotland 100% Corsicanto DAC (in liquidation) (formerly Corsicanto Limited) Ireland 100% Corsicanto II DAC Ireland 100% Ester Neurosciences Limited Israel 100% As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our principal operating activities were being conducted by Amarin Corporation plc, together withAmarin Pharmaceuticals Ireland Limited and Amarin Pharma, Inc., with little to no operating activity being conducted by Amarin Neuroscience Limited,Corsicanto DAC (in liquidation) (formerly Corsicanto Limited), Corsicanto II DAC, or Ester Neurosciences Limited.In January 2012, Amarin, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Corsicanto DAC (in liquidation) (formerly Corsicanto Limited), or Corsicanto, aprivate designated activity company incorporated under the laws of Ireland, completed a private placement of $150.0 million in aggregate principal amountof its 3.5% exchangeable senior notes due 2032 (the 2012 Notes), a portion of which were exchanged in May 2014 (the 2014 Notes) and a portion of whichwere extinguished in 2015 and replaced with new 3.5% exchangeable senior notes due 2032 (the 2015 Notes). In September 2016, the entirety of the 2014Notes and 2015 Notes were mandatorily exchanged in accordance with their respective terms. In January 2017, approximately $15.0 million of the 2012Notes were put to the Company, and, in March 2017, the Company redeemed the entirety of the remaining $0.1 million in aggregate principal amount of2012 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, such that no 2012 Notes remained outstanding as of December 31, 2017. Refer to Note 8—Debt for furtherdiscussion. Corsicanto was formed in November 2011 and was subsequently acquired by Amarin in January 2012 for the sole purpose of facilitating thisfinancing transaction. A liquidator was appointed to Corsicanto on September 7, 2017 pursuant to a resolution of Amarin Corporation plc as sole shareholder.In January 2017, the Company and Corsicanto II DAC, or Corsicanto II, a designated activity company formed under the laws of Ireland and a whollyowned subsidiary of the Company, entered into separate, privately negotiated purchase agreements with certain investors pursuant to which Corsicanto IIissued and sold $30.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.5% exchangeable senior notes due 2047 (the “2017 Notes”) at an issue price of 100%. Thenet proceeds from the offering were $28.8 million after deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses payable by the Company. The offering of the2017 Notes closed on January 25, 2017. Refer to Note 8—Debt for further discussion. Corsicanto II has no assets, operations, revenues or cash flows otherthan those related to the issuance, administration and repayment of the 2017 Notes.Available InformationOur Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to reports filed pursuant toSections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are made available free of charge on or through our website atwww.amarincorp.com as soon as reasonably practicable after such reports are filed with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC.The SEC also maintains a website, www.sec.gov, that contains reports and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.

Since we currently operate in one business segment, which is the development and commercialization of Vascepa, all required financialsegment information can be found in the consolidated financial statements.Item 1A.Risk FactorsThis Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking information based on our current expectations. Because our actual results may differmaterially from any forward-looking statements that we make or that are made on our behalf, this section includes a discussion of important factors thatcould affect our actual future results, including, but not limited to, our ability to successfully commercialize Vascepa, our capital resources, the progressand timing of our clinical programs, the safety and efficacy of our product candidates, risks associated with regulatory filings, the potential clinicalbenefits and market potential of our product candidates, commercial market estimates, future development efforts, patent protection, effects of healthcarereform, reliance on third parties, effects of tax reform, and other risks set forth below.Risks Related to the Commercialization and Development of VascepaWe are substantially dependent upon sales of Vascepa in the United States.As a result of our reliance on a single product, Vascepa® (icosapent ethyl) capsules, and our primary focus on the U.S. market in the near-term, much ofour near-term results and value as a company depends on our ability to execute our commercial strategy for Vascepa in the United States. Ifcommercialization efforts for Vascepa are not successful, our business will be materially and adversely affected.Even if we are able to successfully develop Vascepa outside the United States or develop additional products from our research and developmentefforts, the development time cycle for products typically takes several years. This restricts our ability to respond to adverse business conditions for Vascepa.If we are not successful with development, or if there is not adequate demand for Vascepa or the market for such product develops less rapidly than weanticipate, we may not have the ability to effectively shift our resources to the development of alternative products or do so in a timely manner withoutsuffering material adverse effects on our business. As a result, the lack of alternative markets and products we develop could constrain our ability to generaterevenues and achieve profitability.The uncertain effect of Vascepa on its ultimate targeted clinical benefits makes it more difficult to achieve a level of market acceptance by physicians,patients, healthcare payors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success.In January 2013, we launched Vascepa based on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, approval of our MARINE indication, for use as anadjunct to diet to reduce triglyceride levels in adult patients with severe (TG ≥500 mg/dL) hypertriglyceridemia. Approximately 3 to 4 million adults in theUnited States have severely high triglyceride levels (TG ≥500 mg/dL), commonly known as very high triglyceride levels. Guidelines for the management ofvery high triglyceride levels suggest that the primary goal of reducing triglyceride levels in this patient population is reduction in the risk of acutepancreatitis. A secondary goal for this patient population is to reduce cardiovascular risk. The effect of Vascepa on cardiovascular mortality and morbidity, orthe risk for pancreatitis, in patients with hypertriglyceridemia has not been determined and our FDA-approved labeling and promotional efforts state thesefacts.In August 2015, based on a federal court order, we began communicating promotional information beyond the MARINE indication to healthcareprofessionals in the United States for the treatment of patients with high (TG ≥200 mg/dL and <500 mg/dL) triglyceride levels who are also on statin therapyfor elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or LDL-C, levels, based on results from the ANCHOR study of Vascepa. It is estimated that approximately40 million adults in the United States have high triglyceride levels (TG ≥200 mg/dL), and many patients with high triglycerides also have other lipid levelabnormalities such as high cholesterol and are on statin therapy. FDA did not approve Vascepa for use in this population due to the uncertain effect ofpharmaceutically induced triglyceride reduction in this patient population on cardiovascular risk reduction, the ultimate targeted clinical benefits. Ourpromotional efforts disclose this fact and what we view as truthful and non-misleading information on the current state of research on both triglyceridereduction and the active pharmaceutical ingredient, or API, in Vascepa, EPA, as each relate to the potential of Vascepa to reduce cardiovascular risk. The uncertainties around the ultimate targeted clinical benefits of Vascepa make it more difficult for Vascepa to gain market acceptance byphysicians, patients, healthcare payors and others in the medical community. If Vascepa does not achieve an adequate level of acceptance, we may notgenerate product revenues sufficient to become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of24 Vascepa for the MARINE indication and in ANCHOR patients and in any future approved indications and uses will depend on a number of factors,including: •the perceived efficacy, safety and potential advantages of Vascepa, as compared to alternative treatments; •our ability to offer Vascepa for sale at competitive prices; •convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments; •the willingness of the target patient population to try new therapies and of physicians to prescribe these therapies; •the scope, effectiveness and strength of product education, marketing and distribution support, including our sales and marketing team; •publicity concerning Vascepa or competing products; •our ability to continually promote Vascepa in the United States outside of FDA-approved labeling and the related perception thereof; •sufficient third-party coverage or reimbursement for on-label use, and for permitted off-label use, the third-party coverage or reimbursement forwhich was not addressed in the scope of the August 2015 court declaration or related settlement; •natural disasters that can inhibit our ability to promote Vascepa regionally and can negatively affect product demand by creating obstacles forpatients to seek treatment and fill prescriptions; •new policies or laws affecting Vascepa sales, such as state and federal efforts to affect drug pricing and provide or remove healthcare coveragethat includes reimbursement for prescription drugs; and •the actual efficacy of the product and the prevalence and severity of any side effects, including any limitations or warnings contained inVascepa’s approved labeling.Our current and planned commercialization efforts in the United States may not be successful in increasing sales of Vascepa.Our sales team consists of approximately 165 sales professionals, including sales representatives and their managers. This sales team promotesVascepa to a limited group of physicians and other healthcare professionals in select geographies in the United States. This sales team is not large enough tocall upon all physicians. In January 2013, when we initially began selling Vascepa in the United States through our own then newly established sales andmarketing teams and through a newly established third-party commercial distribution infrastructure, our sales team was larger.In May 2014 we began co-promoting Vascepa in the United States with Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. under a co-promotion agreement weentered into in March 2014, which we amended in July 2017. Under the agreement Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. co-promotes Vascepa in conjunctionwith its promotion of its primary product, a branded statin for patients with high cholesterol, along with our sales professionals based on a plan designed tofocus on select sales territories that we believe have demonstrated the greatest potential for Vascepa sales growth, increasing both the number of sales targetsreached and the frequency of sales calls on existing sales targets. However, the commercialization of pharmaceutical products is a complex undertaking, andwe have very limited experience as a company operating in this area and co-promoting a pharmaceutical product with a partner.If the results of the REDUCE-IT outcomes study are successful, we plan to expand our promotion of Vascepa, including increasing the size of ourteam. We anticipate increasing our sales force to a total of approximately 400 to 500 sales professionals after REDUCE-IT results, assuming success. IfREDUCE-IT is successful, we will again need to overcome challenges associated with rapidly hiring and training personnel and managing larger teams ofpeople. Furthermore, our agreement with Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. is designed such that its co-promotion of Vascepa ceases at the end of 2018. Ifwe do not extend this co-promotion agreement, enter into a co-promotion agreement with an equally capable company or hire equally capable salesrepresentatives, our sales may be negatively impacted.Factors related to building and managing a sales and marketing organization that can inhibit our efforts to successfully commercialize Vascepainclude: •our inability to attract and retain adequate numbers of effective sales and marketing personnel; •our inability to adequately train our sales and marketing personnel, in particular as it relates to various healthcare regulatory requirementsapplicable to the marketing and sale of pharmaceutical products and the court declaration that we believe enables us to expand marketingefforts for Vascepa, and our inability to adequately monitor compliance with these requirements; •the inability of our new sales personnel, working for us as a new market entrant, to obtain access to or persuade adequate numbers of physiciansto prescribe Vascepa;25 •the lack of complementary products to be offered by sales personnel, which may put us at a competitive disadvantage relative to companieswith more extensive product lines; •an inability by us or our partners to obtain regulatory and marketing approval or establish marketing channels in foreign jurisdictions; and •unforeseen costs and expenses associated with operating a new independent sales and marketing organization.If we are not successful in our efforts to market and sell Vascepa, our anticipated revenues will be materially and negatively affected, and we may notobtain profitability, may need to cut back on research and development activities or need to raise additional funding that could result in substantial dilution.We expect final positive results from the REDUCE-IT outcomes study will be required for FDA-approved label expansion for Vascepa.Since January 2013, we have marketed Vascepa for use in the FDA-approved MARINE indication in the United States.In April 2015, we received a Complete Response Letter, or CRL, from the FDA on our supplemental new drug application, or sNDA, that soughtapproval for the use of Vascepa in patients with high triglyceride levels (TG ≥200 mg/dL and <500 mg/dL) who are also on statin therapy, which we refer toas the ANCHOR indication. In regulatory communications, the FDA acknowledged that the results of the ANCHOR trial as we presented them to FDA werevalid and truthful in that, for example, Vascepa reduced triglyceride levels compared to placebo in patients treated in the ANCHOR study. The clinicalrationale for reducing serum triglycerides with Vascepa and modifying other lipid/lipoprotein parameters shown in ANCHOR among statin-treated patientswith triglycerides 200-499 mg/dL is to reduce cardiovascular risk. In not approving our ANCHOR sNDA, the FDA concluded that, for regulatory approvalpurposes, there were insufficient data to support a drug-induced change in serum triglycerides as a surrogate for reducing cardiovascular risk in the ANCHORpopulation. The FDA did not determine that the drug-induced effects of Vascepa, which go beyond triglyceride-lowering, would not actually reducecardiovascular risk in this population.In August 2015, based on a federal court order, we began communicating promotional information beyond the MARINE indication to healthcareprofessionals in the United States through use of a set of qualified statements that we believe reflect the state of research related to the use of Vascepa in theANCHOR population and the supportive but not conclusive research on the use of Vascepa to reduce cardiovascular risk in this population. In March 2016,we settled the litigation related to this court order under terms by which the FDA and the U.S. government agreed to be bound by the conclusions from thefederal court order that we may engage in truthful and non-misleading speech promoting the off-label use of Vascepa and that certain statements anddisclosures that we proposed to make to healthcare professionals were truthful and non-misleading. An FDA-approved indication for this patient populationhas not been granted. If new clinical information is demonstrated that changes what we understand to be truthful and non-misleading, our promotion ofVascepa will need to be modified to ensure that our promotion remains truthful and non-misleading. Our ability to reach full potential in thecommercialization of Vascepa in the United States is dependent upon marketing claims associated with Vascepa that are granted with the approval of anindication statement by the FDA.Based on our communications with the FDA, we expect that final positive results from the REDUCE-IT outcomes study will be required for FDAapproval of a new indication or other label expansion for Vascepa. Any delay in obtaining, or an inability to obtain, further expansion of our marketingapproval rights with an FDA approval could prevent us from growing revenue at all or greater than our current pace and could therefore have a materialadverse effect on our operations and financial condition, including our ability to reach profitability. Even if we obtain additional regulatory approvals forVascepa, the timing or scope of any approvals may prohibit or reduce our ability to commercialize the product successfully. For example, if the approvalprocess for any expanded indication takes too long, we may miss market opportunities and give other companies the ability to develop competing productsor establish market dominance. If the FDA does not approve any expanded indication at all, it could have a material impact on our future results of operationsand financial condition. Additionally, the terms of any approvals beyond the approval received from the FDA in July 2012 for the MARINE indication mayprove to not have the scope or breadth needed for us to successfully commercialize Vascepa or become profitable.Our off-label promotion of Vascepa could subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny and present unforeseen risks.The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, has been interpreted by the FDA to make it illegal for pharmaceutical companies to promotetheir FDA approved products for uses that have not been approved by the FDA. Companies that market drugs for off-label uses or indications have beensubject to related costly litigation, criminal penalties and civil liability under the FDCA and the False Claims Act. In May 2015, we and a group of independent physicians filed a lawsuit against the FDA seeking a federal court declaration that would permit us andour agents to promote to healthcare professionals the use of Vascepa in the ANCHOR population and promote on the potential of Vascepa to reduce the riskof cardiovascular disease so long as the promotion is truthful and non-misleading. This use26 of Vascepa at issue reflects recognized medical practice but was not approved by the FDA and is thus not covered by current FDA-approved labeling for thedrug. Promotion of an off-label use is considered by the FDA to be illegal under the FDCA. The lawsuit, captioned Amarin Pharma, Inc., et al. v. Food &Drug Administration, et al., 119 F. Supp. 3d 196 (S.D.N.Y. 2015), was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In thelawsuit, we contended principally that FDA regulations limiting off-label promotion of truthful and non-misleading information are unconstitutional underthe freedom of speech clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution as applied in the case of our proposed promotion of Vascepa. The physicians inthe suit regularly treated patients at risk of cardiovascular disease and, as the complaint contended, have First Amendment rights to receive truthful and non-misleading information from Amarin. The suit was based on the principle that better informed physicians make better treatment decisions for their patients.The FDA opposed this lawsuit but did not dispute the veracity of the subject ANCHOR clinical trial data (the safety data from which is already in FDA-approved labeling of Vascepa) or the peer-reviewed research related to Vascepa and the potential for cardiovascular risk reduction.In connection with this litigation, the FDA sent a detailed letter to us on June 5, 2015 that confirmed the validity of the ANCHOR trial results. Theletter also sought to clarify how, in the FDA’s view, applicable law and FDA policies apply to the communications proposed in our complaint. The FDAstated in this letter that it did not have concerns with much of the information we proposed to communicate and provided us with guidance on the FDA’sview of lawful, but limited paths for the dissemination and communication to healthcare professionals of the effects of Vascepa demonstrated in theANCHOR clinical trial and use of peer-reviewed scientific publications in the context of appropriate disclaimers.In August 2015, we were granted preliminary relief in this lawsuit through the court’s declaratory judgment that confirmed we may engage in truthfuland non-misleading speech promoting the off-label use of Vascepa to healthcare professionals, i.e., to treat patients with persistently high triglycerides, andthat such speech may not form the basis of a misbranding action under the FDCA. In August 2015, we began to communicate promotional informationbeyond the MARINE indication to healthcare professionals in the United States as permitted by this court declaration. The FDA did not appeal the court’sruling. In March 2016, we settled this litigation under terms by which the FDA and the U.S. government agreed to be bound by the conclusions from thefederal court order that we may engage in truthful and non-misleading speech promoting the off-label use of Vascepa and that certain statements anddisclosures that we proposed to make to healthcare professionals were truthful and non-misleading.While we believe we are now permitted under applicable law to more broadly promote Vascepa, the FDA-approved labeling for Vascepa did notchange as a result of this litigation and settlement, and neither government nor other third-party coverage or reimbursement to pay for the off-label use ofVascepa promoted under the court declaration was required. Based on our communications with the FDA, we expect that final positive results from theREDUCE-IT outcomes study will be required for label expansion for Vascepa.Even though we have the benefit of a final settlement in this litigation, our promotion is still subject to a high, perhaps abnormally high, degree ofscrutiny to ensure that our promotion remains within the scope covered by the settlement. For example, under the settlement, we remain responsible forensuring our speech is truthful and non-misleading. Data arising from studies of drug products are complex, such as the many studies that we believe showsupportive but not conclusive research on the potential connection between the effects of EPA, the active ingredient in Vascepa, and cardiovascular riskreduction (e.g., the JELIS trial of a highly-pure EPA product in Japan and the ongoing REDUCE-IT study of Vascepa). We, the FDA, our competitors andother interested parties may not agree on the truthfulness and non-misleading nature of our promotional materials with respect to the outcome of these trialsor other direct or indirect claims we make about Vascepa. Federal and state governments or agencies may also seek to find other means to prevent ourpromotion of unapproved truthful and non-misleading information about Vascepa. If our promotional activities or other operations are found to be inviolation of any law or governmental regulation through existing or new interpretations, we may be subject to prolonged litigation, penalties, including civiland criminal penalties, damages, fines and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations. Also, if governmental parties or our competitors view our claimsas misleading or false, we could also be subject to liability based on fair competition-based statutes, such as the Lanham Act. Any of such negativecircumstances could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our results of operations.We may not be able to compete effectively against our competitors’ pharmaceutical products.The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are highly competitive. There are many pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies,public and private universities and research organizations actively engaged in the research and development of products that may be similar to our products.It is probable that the number of companies seeking to develop products and therapies similar to our products will increase. Many of these and other existingor potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and human resources than we do and may be better equipped to develop, manufactureand market products. These companies may develop and introduce products and processes competitive with or superior to ours. In addition, othertechnologies or products may be developed that have an entirely different approach or means of accomplishing the intended purposes of our products, whichmight render our technology and products noncompetitive or obsolete.Our competitors both in the United States and abroad include large, well-established pharmaceutical and generic companies, specialty and genericpharmaceutical sales and marketing companies, and specialized cardiovascular treatment companies.27 GlaxoSmithKline plc currently sells Lovaza®, a prescription-only omega-3 fatty acid indicated for patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia, which wasapproved by FDA in 2004 and has been on the market in the United States since 2005. Multiple generic versions of Lovaza are available in the United States.Other large companies with competitive products include AbbVie, Inc., which currently sells Tricor® and Trilipix® for the treatment of severehypertriglyceridemia, and Niaspan®, which is primarily used to raise high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or HDL-C, but is also used to lower triglycerides.Multiple generic versions of Tricor, Trilipix, and Niaspan are also available in the United States. We compete with these drugs, and in particular, multiplelow-cost generic versions of these drugs, in our FDA-approved indicated use and in off-label uses, such as to beneficially affect lipid levels in patients withpersistent high triglyceride levels after statin therapy with the aim of potentially lowering cardiovascular risk beyond statin therapy.In addition, in May 2014, Epanova® (omega-3-carboxylic acids) capsules, a free fatty acid form of omega-3 (comprised of 55% EPA and 20% DHA),was approved by the FDA for patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia. Epanova was developed by Omthera Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and is now owned byAstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP (AstraZeneca). Also, in April 2014, Omtryg, another omega-3-acid fatty acid composition developed by Trygg Pharma AS,received FDA approval for severe hypertriglyceridemia. Neither Epanova nor Omtryg have been commercially launched, but could launch at any time. Eachof these competitors, other than potentially Trygg, has greater resources than we do, including financial, product development, marketing, personnel andother resources.Results of pending low dose omega-3 and other cardiovascular outcomes studies may negatively affect sales of Vascepa. For example, in 2018, resultsof both VITamin D and OmegA-3 TriaL (VITAL) and A Study of Cardiovascular Events iN Diabetes (ASCEND) trials are expected to be released. VITAL is anNIH funded randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2x2 factorial trial of 2000 IU per day of vitamin D3 and 1 gram per day of omega-3 fatty acidsupplementation (Lovaza) for the primary prevention of cancer and cardiovascular disease in a nationwide USA cohort of 25,874 adults not selected forelevated cardiovascular or cancer risk. ASCEND is a British Heart Foundation funded 2x2 factorial design, randomized study to assess whether aspirin 100mg daily versus placebo and separately, omega-3 fatty acids 1 gram daily versus placebo, reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in a nationwide UK cohortof over 15,000 individuals with diabetes who do not have atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Positive results due to the omega-3 component from one orboth trials may influence greater utilization of 1 gram daily of dietary supplements or Lovaza in a broad low cardiovascular risk population and in patientswith diabetes and may potentially cause an update of AHA recommendation for 1 gram per day of EPA and DHA based on trial results. Negative results fromsuch studies could create misleading impressions about the use of omega-3s generally, including Vascepa, despite the highly-pure EPA active ingredient inVascepa and its higher dose regimine. Also, AstraZeneca is currently conducting a long-term outcomes study to assess Statin Residual Risk Reduction WithEpaNova in HiGh Cardiovascular Risk PatienTs With Hypertriglyceridemia (STRENGTH). The study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled(corn oil), parallel group design that is believed to have enrolled approximately 13,000 patients with hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL and high risk forcardiovascular disease randomized 1:1 to either corn oil plus statin or Epanova plus statin, once daily, for approximately 3-5 years as determined when thenumber of major adverse cardiovascular event outcomes is reached. The STRENGTH study estimated completion date is in November 2019, but it could bestopped earlier if, for example, it generates an overwhelming efficacy result. In addition, Kowa Research Institute (a subsidiary of the Japanese companyKowa Co., Ltd) announced in March 2017 that it is initiating a phase III cardiovascular outcomes trial titled PROMINENT examining the effect ofpemafibrate (experimental name K-877) in reducing cardiovascular events in Type II diabetic patients with hypertriglyceridemia. Kowa Research Institutehas publicly estimated study completion in May 2022, and if successful, U.S. regulatory approval is estimated in mid-2023.We are also aware of other pharmaceutical companies that are developing products that, if successfully developed, approved and marketed, wouldcompete with Vascepa. Acasti Pharma, or Acasti, a subsidiary of Neptune Technologies & Bioresources Inc., announced in December 2015 that it intends topursue a regulatory pathway under section 505(b)(2) of the FDCA for its omega-3 prescription drug candidate, CaPre®, derived from krill oil, for the treatmentof hypertriglyceridemia. In September 2016, Acasti announced positive results from its pivotal bioavailability bridging study comparing CaPre to Lovaza,establishing a scientific bridge between the two that is expected to support the feasibility of a 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway. Acasti initiated a Phase 3clinical program to assess the safety and efficacy of CaPre in patients with very high (≥500 mg/dL) triglycerides in the fourth quarter of 2017 and expects tobegin dosing patients in the first quarter of 2018. Study completion is expected in 2019. We believe Sancilio & Company, or Sancilio, is also developingpotential treatments for hypertriglyceridemia based on omega-3 fatty acids. To our knowledge, Sancilio is pursuing a regulatory pathway under section505(b)(2) of the FDCA for its product and submitted an Investigational New Drug Application, or IND, in July 2015. Sancilio completed twopharmacokinetic studies and Phase 2 bioavailability studies (FASTR I&II), with one comparing SC401 to Lovaza. We expect the company or a potentialpartner to initiate a pivotal clinical Phase 3 study as the next step in development. Matinas BioPharma, Inc. is developing an omega-3-based therapeutic(MAT9001) for the treatment of severe hypertriglyceridemia and mixed dyslipidemia. In the fourth quarter of 2014, Matinas BioPharma, Inc. filed an INDwith the FDA to conduct a human study in the treatment of severe hypertriglyceridemia and, in June 2015, the company announced top-line results for itshead-to-head comparative pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study of MAT9001 versus Vascepa. In September 2017, Matinas announced that it will beseeking a partner company to develop and28 commercialize MAT9001. Akcea Therapeutics/Ionis Pharmaceuticals (formerly Isis Pharmaceuticals), or Akcea/Ionis, in August 2017 announced thesubmission of an NDA to the FDA for volanesorsen (formerly ISIS-APOCIIIRx), a drug candidate administered through weekly subcutaneous injections, forthe treatment of familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS). The NDA submission was based on positive Phase 3 results from the APPROACH trial in patientswith FCS and from the COMPASS trial in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia. A Phase 3 trial is currently ongoing studying volanesorsen in patientswith familial partial lipodystrophy (FPL) (BROADEN trial). Akcea/Ionis expects to file an NDA for FPL in 2019. In January 2017, Akcea/Ionis announced astrategic collaboration and option agreement with Novartis whereby Novartis will help develop (including funding cardiovascular outcomes studies) andcommercialize products emerging from this collaboration, including volanesorsen. Gemphire Therapeutics has announced plans to advance gemcabene intoPhase 3 trials in 2018. Gemcabene is an oral, once-daily pill, for a number of hypercholesterolemic populations and severe hypertriglyceridemia. Gemphireannounced a Phase 2b trial (INDIGO-1) in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia is ongoing with top-line data expected in the second quarter of 2018.Zydus Cadila is conducting a Phase 2 trial of its lead program, Saroglitazar, in severe hypertriglyceridemia in the United States. The product is approved inIndia under the name Lipaglyn® for the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia and diabetic dyslipidemia. Generic company competitors are seeking FDA approval of generic versions of Vascepa. We are now engaged in related patent litigation and couldface other challenges to our exclusivity.The FDCA, as amended by the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, as amended, or the Hatch-Waxman Amendments,permits the FDA to approve ANDAs for generic versions of brand name drugs like Vascepa. We refer to the process of generic drug applications as the “ANDAprocess.” The ANDA process permits competitor companies to obtain marketing approval for a drug product with the same active ingredient, dosage form,strength, route of administration, and labeling as the approved brand name drug, but without having to conduct and submit clinical studies to establish thesafety and efficacy of the proposed generic product. In place of such clinical studies, an ANDA applicant needs to submit data demonstrating that its productis bioequivalent to the brand name product, usually based on pharmacokinetic studies.As an alternate path to FDA approval for modifications of products previously approved by the FDA, an applicant may submit a new drug application,or NDA, under Section 505(b)(2) of the FDCA (enacted as part of the Hatch-Waxman Amendments). This statutory provision permits the filing of an NDAwhere at least some of the information required for approval comes from studies not conducted by or for the applicant and for which the applicant has notobtained a right of reference from the owner of the data. The Hatch-Waxman Amendments permit the applicant to rely upon the FDA findings of safety andeffectiveness of a drug that has obtained FDA approval based on preclinical or clinical studies conducted by others. In addition to relying on FDA priorfindings of safety and effectiveness for a referenced drug product, the FDA may require companies to perform additional preclinical or clinical studies tosupport approval of the modification to the referenced product.If an application for a generic version of a branded product or a Section 505(b)(2) application relies on a prior FDA finding of safety and effectivenessof a previously-approved product including an alternative strength thereof, the applicant is required to certify to the FDA concerning any patents listed forthe referenced product in the FDA publication called “Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations,” otherwise known as the “OrangeBook.” Specifically, the applicant must certify in the application that: (I)there is no patent information listed for the reference drug; (II)the listed patent has expired for the reference drug; (III)the listed patent for the reference drug has not expired, but will expire on a particular date and approval is sought after patent expiration; or (IV)the listed patent for the reference drug is invalid, unenforceable, or will not be infringed by the manufacture, use or sale of the product forwhich the ANDA or 505(b)(2) NDA is submitted.The Hatch-Waxman Amendments require an applicant for a drug product that relies, in whole or in part, on the FDA’s prior approval of Vascepa, tonotify us of its application, a “paragraph IV” notice, if the applicant is seeking to market its product prior to the expiration of the patents that both claimVascepa and are listed in the Orange Book. A bona fide paragraph IV notice may not be given under the Hatch-Waxman Amendments until after the genericcompany receives from the FDA an acknowledgement letter stating that its ANDA is sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review.The paragraph IV notice is required to contain a detailed factual and legal statement explaining the basis for the applicant’s opinion that the proposedproduct does not infringe our patents, that the relevant patents are invalid, or both. After receipt of a valid notice, the branded product manufacturer has theoption of bringing a patent infringement suit in federal district court against any generic company seeking approval for its product within 45 days from thedate of receipt of each notice. If such a suit is commenced within this 45-day period, the Hatch-Waxman Amendments provide for a 30-month stay on FDA’sability to give final approval to the proposed generic product, which period begins on the date the paragraph IV notice is received. Generally, during a periodof time in29 which generic applications may be submitted for a branded product based on a product’s regulatory exclusivity status, if no patents are listed in the OrangeBook before the date on which a complete ANDA application for a product (excluding an amendment or supplement to the application) is submitted, anANDA application could be approved by FDA without regard to a stay. For products entitled to five-year exclusivity status, the Hatch-Waxman Amendmentsprovide that an ANDA application may be submitted after four years following FDA approval of the branded product if it contains a certification of patentinvalidity or non-infringement to a patent listed in the Orange Book. In such a case, the 30-month stay runs from the end of the five-year exclusivity period.Statutory stays may be shortened or lengthened if either party fails to cooperate in the litigation and it may be terminated if the court decides the case in lessthan 30 months. If the litigation is resolved in favor of the ANDA applicant before the expiration of the 30-month period, the stay will be immediately liftedand the FDA’s review of the application may be completed. Such litigation is often time-consuming and costly, and may result in generic competition if suchpatents are not upheld or if the generic competitor is found not to infringe such patents.In the first half of 2014, we received six paragraph IV notices notifying us of accepted ANDAs to the Vascepa 1-gram dose strength under the Hatch-Waxman Amendments. These ANDAs were submitted and accepted by FDA under the regulatory scheme adopted under the Hatch-Waxman Amendmentsbased on the FDA’s determination that we were entitled to three, and not five-year exclusivity. As a result, from the first half of 2014 until June 2015, we wereengaged in costly litigation with the ANDA applicants to protect our patent rights.Based on the May 28, 2015, District of Columbia court order granting our motion for summary judgment in the new chemical entity, or NCE,litigation, on June 26, 2015, the parties to the related Vascepa patent litigation that followed acceptance by FDA of ANDAs to Vascepa based on a three-yearregulatory exclusivity determination, agreed to a full stay of proceeding in that patent litigation.Following the May 28, 2015 District of Columbia court order setting aside FDA’s denial of NCE exclusivity for Vascepa, FDA notified the ANDAfilers that FDA had changed the status of their ANDAs to submitted, but no longer accepted, and notified ANDA filers that FDA had ceased review of thepending ANDAs. In rescinding acceptance of the ANDAs, the statutory basis for the patent litigation (accepted ANDAs) no longer existed. Thus, in July 2015,we moved to dismiss the pending patent infringement lawsuits against each of the Vascepa ANDA applicants in the U.S. District Court for the District of NewJersey.On January 22, 2016, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey granted our motion to dismiss all patent infringement litigation related tothe 2014 acceptance by the FDA of ANDAs to Vascepa. An appeal of the court’s dismissal was filed by one ANDA filer and, after FDA’s May 2016 grant ofVascepa NCE exclusivity, that appeal was withdrawn by the ANDA filer. This dismissal and terminated appeal ended this patent litigation related to Vascepa.On May 31, 2016, in a reversal that FDA and we view as consistent with the court’s May 28, 2015 summary judgment motion, FDA determined thatVascepa is eligible for five-year, NCE marketing exclusivity. This determination provides Vascepa with the benefits of NCE exclusivity afforded by statute.NCE exclusivity for Vascepa ran from its date of FDA approval on July 26, 2012 and extended until July 26, 2017. We believe the statutory NCE-related 30-month stay triggered by the 1-gram dose patent litigation following generic application submissions permitted on July 26, 2016 is scheduled to continueuntil January 26, 2020, seven-and-a-half years from FDA approval, unless such patent litigation is resolved against us sooner.In September and October 2016, we received paragraph IV certification notices from four companies contending to varying degrees that certain of ourpatents are invalid, unenforceable and/or will not be infringed by the manufacture, use, sale or offer for sale of a generic form of the 1-gram dose strength ofVascepa as described in those companies’ ANDAs. These certifications were expected given the eligibility for submission of ANDAs under the NCEregulatory structure, after the expiration of four years from the July 2012 approval of Vascepa.We filed patent infringement lawsuits against three of these four ANDA applicants. In October 2016, Amarin filed a lawsuit against RoxaneLaboratories, Inc. and related parties, collectively, Roxane, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada. The case against Roxane is captioned AmarinPharma, Inc. et al. v. Roxane Laboratories, Inc. et al., Civ. A. No. 2:16-cv-02525 (D. Nev.). According to a stipulation filed with the Nevada court, inDecember 2016, Roxane transferred its ANDA to West-Ward Pharmaceuticals International Limited, which then designated West-Ward Pharmaceuticals Corp.(or together with West-Ward Pharmaceuticals International Limited, West-Ward) as its agent for FDA communications. In view of the ANDA transfer, inFebruary 2017, West-Ward replaced Roxane and related parties as Defendants in the above-referenced case. The case against West-Ward is now captionedAmarin Pharma, Inc. et al. v. West-Ward Pharmaceuticals Corp. et al., Civ. A. No. 2:16-cv-02525 (D. Nev.). In November 2016, Amarin filed a lawsuitagainst Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Ltd., collectively, DRL, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada. The caseagainst DRL is captioned Amarin Pharma, Inc. et al. v. Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. et al., Civ. A. No. 2:16-cv-02562 (D. Nev.). In November 2016, Amarinfiled a lawsuit against Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. and Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Limited, or collectively, Teva, in the U.S. District Court for theDistrict of Nevada. The case against Teva is captioned Amarin Pharma, Inc. et al. v. Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. et al., Civ. A. No. 2:16-cv-02658. In allthree lawsuits, we are seeking, among other remedies, an order enjoining each defendant from marketing30 generic versions of the 1-gram dose strength of Vascepa before the last to expire of the asserted patents in 2030. The three lawsuits have been consolidated forpretrial proceedings.The fourth ANDA applicant referenced above is Apotex Inc., or Apotex, which sent us a paragraph IV certification notice in September 2016. Thenotice reflected that Apotex made a paragraph IV notice as to some, but not all, of the patents listed in the Orange Book for Vascepa. Because Apotex did notmake a paragraph IV certification as to all listed patents, Apotex cannot market a generic version of Vascepa before the last to expire of the patents for whichApotex did not make a paragraph IV certification, which is in 2030. At a later date, Apotex may elect to amend its ANDA in order to make a paragraph IVcertification as to additional listed patents. If and when Apotex does make such an amendment, it would be required to send Amarin an additional paragraphIV certification notice, and Amarin would then have the ability to file a lawsuit against Apotex pursuant to the Hatch-Waxman Amendments.In October 2016, we introduced to the market a 0.5-gram dose strength of Vascepa. In August 2017, as anticipated, we received a paragraph IVcertification notice from Teva contending that certain of our patents are invalid, unenforceable and/or will not be infringed by the manufacture, use, sale oroffer for sale of a generic form of the 0.5-gram dose strength of Vascepa, as described in the Teva ANDA. This Teva ANDA was filed as an amendment to the1-gram Teva ANDA and is related to patents already at issue in the 1-gram Vascepa patent litigation. This certification followed the related listing in theOrange Book of patents associated with the 0.5-gram product in June 2017. This June 2017 listing was within the five-year, post NDA-approval period duringwhich the Hatch-Waxman Amendments require a paragraph IV certification of patent invalidity or non-infringement under the Hatch-Waxman, five-year,NCE regulatory scheme. Accordingly, in October 2017, we filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Teva in the U.S. District Court for the District ofNevada. The case is captioned Amarin Pharma, Inc. et al. v. Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. et al., Civ. A. No. 2:17-cv-2641 (D. Nev.). In this lawsuit, we areseeking, among other remedies, an order enjoining Teva from marketing generic versions of the 0.5-gram dose strength of Vascepa before the last to expire ofthe asserted patents in 2030. This new lawsuit against Teva has been consolidated with the pending lawsuits against Teva, West-Ward, and DRL referencedabove based on the 1-gram dose strength, and all four lawsuits will proceed on the same schedule.We may also face challenges to the validity of our patents through a procedure known as inter partes review. Inter partes review is a trial proceedingconducted through the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, or PTAB, of the US Patent and Trademark Office. Such a proceeding could be introduced against uswithin the statutory one-year window triggered by service of a complaint for infringement or at any time by an entity not served with a complaint. Suchproceedings may review the patentability of one or more claims in a patent on specified substantive grounds such as allegations that a claim is obvious onthe basis of certain prior art.We intend to vigorously enforce our intellectual property rights relating to Vascepa, but we cannot predict the outcome of the pending lawsuits or anysubsequently filed lawsuits or inter partes review.If an ANDA filer meets the approval requirements for a generic version of Vascepa to the satisfaction of the FDA under its ANDA, FDA may granttentative approval to the ANDA during a Hatch-Waxman 30-month stay period. A tentative approval is issued to an ANDA applicant when its application isapprovable prior to the expiration of any exclusivities applicable to the branded, reference listed drug product. A tentative approval does not allow theapplicant to market the generic drug product and postpones the final ANDA approval until any exclusivity protections, such as a 30-month stay, haveexpired. As a result of the statutory stays associated with the filing of these lawsuits under the Hatch-Waxman Amendments, we believe the FDA cannot grantfinal approval to West-Ward, DRL, or Teva’s respective ANDAs for the 1-gram strength of Vascepa before January 26, 2020, unless there is an earlier courtdecision holding that the subject patents are not infringed and/or are invalid.In addition, we believe the FDA cannot grant final approval to Teva’s ANDA for the 0.5-gram strength Vascepa before the beginning of March 2020,unless there is an earlier court decision holding that the subject patents are not infringed and/or are invalid. If final approval is granted and an ANDA filer isable to supply the product in significant commercial quantities, the generic company could introduce a generic version of Vascepa. Any such introduction ofa generic version of Vascepa would also be subject to current patent infringement claims including those being litigated in the above-detailed patentlitigations, and any court order we may seek and be granted to prevent any such launch based on our patent claims prior to any adverse court judgment orPTAB finding against us.Any generic market entry would limit our U.S. sales, which would have a significant adverse impact on our business and results of operations. Inaddition, even if a competitor’s effort to introduce a generic product is ultimately unsuccessful, the perception that such development is in progress and/ornews related to such progress could materially affect the perceived value of our company and our stock price.Vascepa’s five-year, NCE and related exclusivity benefits could be challenged by companies seeking to introduce generic versions of Vascepa.The timelines and conditions under the ANDA process that permit the start of patent litigation and allow the FDA to approve generic versions of brandname drugs like Vascepa differ based on whether a drug receives three-year, or five-year, NCE marketing31 exclusivity. In May 2016, after significant litigation, FDA determined that Vascepa is eligible for NCE marketing exclusivity. Accordingly, we believe arelated 30-month stay is currently in place with respect to our 1-gram dose strength of Vascepa that is scheduled to continue until January 26, 2020, seven-and-a-half years from FDA approval of Vascepa, unless related patent litigation is resolved against us sooner. We believe we are entitled to a separate 30-month stay with respect to our 0.5-gram dose product and the related Teva paragraph IV certification that would expire at the beginning of March 2020, 30months after the related August 29, 2017 paragraph IV notice was received by us.The FDA typically makes a determination on marketing exclusivity in connection with an NDA approval of a drug for a new indication. FDAmarketing exclusivity is separate from, and in addition to, patent protection, trade secrets and manufacturing barriers to entry which could also help protectVascepa against generic competition.We applied to the FDA for five-year, NCE marketing exclusivity for Vascepa in connection with the NDA for our MARINE indication, which NDA wasapproved by the FDA on July 26, 2012. On February 21, 2014, in connection with the July 26, 2012 approval of the MARINE indication, the FDA denied agrant of five-year NCE marketing exclusivity to Vascepa and granted three-year marketing exclusivity. Under applicable regulations, such three-yearexclusivity would have extended through July 25, 2015 and would have been supplemented by a 30-month stay triggered by patent litigation that wouldhave extended into September 2016, unless such patent litigation was resolved against us sooner.NCE marketing exclusivity precludes approval during the five-year exclusivity period of certain 505(b)(2) applications and ANDAs submitted byanother company for another version of the drug. However, an application may be submitted after four years if it contains a certification of patent invalidityor non-infringement. In such case, the pioneer drug company is afforded the benefit of a 30-month stay against the launch of such a competitive product thatextends from the end of the five-year exclusivity period. A pioneer company could also be afforded extensions to the stay under applicable regulations,including a six-month pediatric exclusivity extension or a judicial extension if applicable requirements are met. A drug sponsor could also gain a form ofmarketing exclusivity under the Hatch-Waxman Amendments if such company can, under certain circumstances, complete a human clinical trial process andobtain regulatory approval of its product.In contrast, a three-year period of exclusivity under the Hatch-Waxman Amendments is generally granted for a drug product that contains an activemoiety that has been previously approved, such as when the application contains reports of new clinical investigations (other than bioavailability studies)conducted by the sponsor that were essential to approval of the application. Accordingly, we expect to receive three-year exclusivity in connection with anyfuture regulatory approvals of Vascepa, such as an approval sought based on positive REDUCE-IT outcomes study results. Such three-year exclusivityprotection precludes the FDA from approving a marketing application for an ANDA, a product candidate that the FDA views as having the same conditions ofapproval as Vascepa (for example, the same indication and/or other conditions of use), or a 505(b)(2) NDA submitted to the FDA with Vascepa as thereference product, for a period of three years from the date of FDA approval. The FDA may accept and commence review of such applications during thethree-year exclusivity period. Such three-year exclusivity grant does not prevent a company from challenging the validity of patents at any time, subject toany prior four-year period pending from a grant of five-year exclusivity. This three-year form of exclusivity may also not prevent the FDA from approving anNDA that relies only on its own data to support the change or innovation.On February 27, 2014, we sued the FDA in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to challenge the agency’s denial of five-year NCEexclusivity for Vascepa, based on our reading of the relevant statute, our view of FDA’s inconsistency with its past actions in this area and the retroactiveeffect of what we believe is a new policy at FDA as it relates to our situation. On May 28, 2015, the court granted our motion for summary judgment. Thedecision vacated the FDA’s denial of our claim for such exclusivity and remanded to the FDA for proceedings consistent with the decision. On July 22, 2015,Watson Laboratories Inc., the purported first Vascepa ANDA filer, sought to intervene and appeal the court’s decision. We and FDA opposed this interventioneffort. The applicable courts denied Watson the relief sought and appeal periods have expired.On May 31, 2016, in a reversal that FDA and we view as consistent with the court’s May 28, 2015 summary judgment motion, FDA determined thatVascepa is eligible for five-year, NCE marketing exclusivity. We believe this determination provides Vascepa with the benefits of NCE exclusivity affordedby statute. NCE exclusivity for Vascepa ran from its date of FDA approval on July 26, 2012 and extended until July 26, 2017. We believe the statutory NCE-related 30-month stay triggered by the 1-gram dose patent litigation following generic application submissions permitted on July 26, 2016 is scheduled tocontinue until January 26, 2020, seven-and-a-half years from FDA approval, unless such patent litigation is resolved against us sooner. We also believe weare entitled to a separate 30-month stay with respect to our 0.5-gram dose product and the related Teva paragraph IV certification that would expire at thebeginning of March 2020, 30 months after the related August 29, 2017 paragraph IV notice was received by us.It is possible that FDA’s NCE determination and related 30-month stays could be challenged by interested parties. If challenged, we plan to vigorouslydefend exclusivity for Vascepa. Any such challenge could have a negative impact on our company and create32 uncertainty around the continued benefits associated with exclusivity that we believe are applicable to us under the Hatch-Waxman Amendments.Regulatory exclusivity is in addition to exclusivity afforded by issued patents related to Vascepa.Vascepa is a prescription-only omega-3 fatty acid product. Omega-3 fatty acids are also marketed by other companies as non-prescription dietarysupplements. As a result, Vascepa is subject to non-prescription competition and consumer substitution.Our only product, Vascepa, is a prescription-only form of EPA, an omega-3 fatty acid, in ethyl ester form. Mixtures of omega-3 fatty acids intriglyceride form are naturally occurring substances contained in various foods, including fatty fish. Omega-3 fatty acids are marketed by others in a numberof chemical forms as non-prescription dietary supplements. We cannot be sure physicians will view the pharmaceutical grade purity and tested efficacy andsafety of Vascepa as having a superior therapeutic profile to unproven and loosely regulated omega-3 fatty acid dietary supplements. In addition, the FDAhas not yet enforced to the full extent of its regulatory authority what we view as illegal claims made by certain omega-3 fatty acid product manufacturers tothe extent we believe appropriate under applicable law and regulations, for example, claims that certain of such chemically altered products are dietarysupplements and that certain of such products reduce triglyceride levels.Also, for more than a decade now, subject to certain limitations, the FDA has expressly permitted dietary supplement manufacturers that sellsupplements containing the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and/or DHA to make the following qualified health claim directly to consumers: Supportive but notconclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. As a result of our FirstAmendment litigation and settlement, we may now make this claim to healthcare professionals subject to certain qualifications.These factors enable dietary supplements to effectively compete with Vascepa. Although we have taken steps to address these competitive issues, andplan to continue to do so vigorously, we may not be successful in such efforts. For example, on August 30, 2017, Amarin Pharma, Inc. and AmarinPharmaceuticals Ireland Limited, each wholly-owned subsidiaries of Amarin Corporation plc, filed a lawsuit with the United States International TradeCommission, or the ITC, against manufacturers, importers, and distributors of products containing synthetically produced omega-3 products in ethyl ester orre-esterified triglyceride form that contain more EPA than DHA or any other single component for use in or as dietary supplements. The lawsuit sought aninvestigation by the ITC regarding potentially unfair methods of competition and unfair acts involving the importation and sale of articles in the UnitedStates that injure or threaten injury to a domestic industry. On October 27, 2017, the ITC determined to not institute our requested investigation. We arecurrently appealing this determination in federal court and plan to pursue it vigorously. In addition, to the extent the net price of Vascepa after insurance andoffered discounts is significantly higher than the prices of commercially available omega-3 fatty acids marketed by other companies as dietary supplements(through that lack of coverage by insurers or otherwise), physicians and pharmacists may recommend these commercial alternatives instead of writing orfilling prescriptions for Vascepa or patients may elect on their own to take commercially available omega-3 fatty acids. Also, insurance plans mayincreasingly impose policies that favor supplement use over Vascepa. While Vascepa is highly price-competitive for patients generally, and in particularwhen covered by insurance—cheaper in many cases—any of these outcomes may adversely impact our results of operations by limiting how we price ourproduct and limiting the revenue we receive from the sale of Vascepa due to reduced market acceptance.We may not be successful in our Vascepa co-promotion effort with Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. or in replacing this co-promotion effort after itexpires at the end of 2018.In March 2014, we entered into a co-promotion agreement with Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. to co-promote Vascepa in the United States underwhich Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. co-promotes Vascepa in conjunction with its promotion of its primary product, a branded statin for patients withhigh cholesterol. Co-promotion under the agreement commenced in May 2014 based on a plan designed to substantially increase both the number of salestargets reached and the frequency of sales calls on existing sales targets. While our agreement provides for minimum performance criteria, we have littlecontrol over Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc., and it may fail to devote the necessary resources and attention to promote Vascepa effectively. If that wereto occur for an extended period of time, depending on Vascepa revenues, we may have to increase our planned expenditures and undertake additionaldevelopment or commercialization activities at our own expense. Or, we may seek to terminate the agreement and search for another commercializationpartner. If we elect to increase our expenditures to fund development or commercialization activities on our own, depending on Vascepa’s revenues, we mayneed to obtain additional capital, which may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all, or which may not be possible due to our other financingarrangements. If we do not generate sufficient funds from the sale of Vascepa or, to the extent needed to supplement funds generated from product revenue,cannot raise sufficient funds, we may not be able to devote resources sufficient to market and sell Vascepa on our own in a manner required to realize the fullmarket potential of Vascepa.Furthermore, our agreement with Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. is designed such that its co-promotion of Vascepa ceases at the end of 2018. Ifwe do not extend this co-promotion agreement, enter into a co-promotion agreement with an equally capable company or hire equally capable salesrepresentatives, our sales may be negatively impacted.33 The commercial value to us of current and sought marketing rights may be smaller than we anticipate.There can be no assurance as to the adequacy for commercial success of the scope and breadth of the marketing rights we currently have or, ifapproved, an indication based on a successful outcome of the REDUCE-IT study. Even if we obtain marketing approval for additional indications, the FDAmay impose restrictions on the product’s conditions for use, distribution or marketing and in some cases may impose ongoing requirements for post-marketsurveillance, post-approval studies or clinical trials. Also, the number of actual patients with conditions within the scope of our marketing efforts may besmaller than we anticipate. If any such marketing right or approved indication is narrower than we anticipate, the market potential for our product wouldsuffer.Our special protocol assessment, or SPA, agreement for ANCHOR was rescinded and our SPA agreement for REDUCE-IT is not a guarantee of FDAapproval of Vascepa for the proposed REDUCE-IT indication.A SPA is an evaluation by the FDA of a protocol with the goal of reaching an agreement that the Phase 3 trial protocol design, clinical endpoints, andstatistical analyses are acceptable to support regulatory approval of the drug product candidate with respect to effectiveness for the indication studied. TheMARINE and ANCHOR trials were, and the REDUCE-IT trial is, being conducted under a SPA agreement with the FDA. In each case, the FDA agreed that,based on the information we submitted to the agency, the design and planned analysis of the trial is adequate to support use of the conducted study as theprimary basis for approval with respect to effectiveness. A SPA agreement is not a guarantee of approval. A SPA agreement is generally binding upon the FDAexcept in limited circumstances, such as if the FDA identifies a substantial scientific issue essential to determining safety or efficacy after the study begins, orif the study sponsor fails to follow the protocol that was agreed upon with the FDA. The FDA reserves the right of final determinations for approval based onits review of the entire data presented in a marketing application.In October 2013, the FDA notified us that it rescinded the ANCHOR study SPA agreement because the FDA determined that a substantial scientificissue essential to determining the effectiveness of Vascepa in the studied population was identified after testing began. In April 2015, we received a CRLfrom the FDA stating that the FDA determined not to approve label expansion reflecting the ANCHOR clinical trial efficacy data at this time.Thus, even though we have received regulatory approval of Vascepa for the MARINE indication under a SPA agreement, our ANCHOR SPAagreement was rescinded. There is no assurance that the FDA will not rescind our REDUCE-IT SPA agreement.In August 2016, we announced an amendment to our REDUCE-IT SPA agreement with FDA that reaffirmed FDA concurrence on key elements of thestudy, defined details of the statistical analysis plan for the study, expanded to greater than 30 the pre-specified secondary and tertiary endpoints in the study,and added a second interim efficacy and safety analysis by the independent data monitoring committee (DMC) at approximately 80% of the target aggregatenumber of primary cardiovascular events. In this amended REDUCE-IT SPA agreement, FDA agreed that, based on the information submitted to the agency,the critical elements of the revised REDUCE-IT protocol and analysis plans adequately address the objectives necessary to support a regulatory submission.However, secondary and/or tertiary endpoints, their ordering in the statistical hierarchy, their clinical significance, or whether any would yield resultsappropriate for labeling are considered review issues and are not intended to be a binding component of the REDUCE-IT SPA agreement. Further, matterssuch as endpoint adjudication procedures (including potential endpoint ascertainment, adjudication process, and detailed definitions) were specified by FDAas issues to be reviewed by the agency as part of a drug approval application. Consistent with the May 2016 FDA SPA draft guidance, FDA stated that theSPA agreement does not necessarily indicate the agency’s agreement with every detail of a protocol; instead, such an agreement indicates FDA’s concurrencewith the elements critical to ensuring that the trial conducted under the protocol would have the potential to form the primary basis of an efficacy claim in amarketing application.The inability to obtain marketing approval in the ANCHOR or REDUCE-IT indications has prevented, and would continue to prevent, us fromgrowing revenue more significantly, and it has had, and could continue to have, a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition,including our ability to reach profitability. The REDUCE-IT cardiovascular outcomes trial may fail to show that Vascepa can reduce major cardiovascular events in an at-risk patient populationon statin therapy, and the long-term clinical results of Vascepa may not be consistent with the clinical results we observed in our Phase 3 clinical trials,in which case our sales of Vascepa may then suffer.In accordance with the SPA agreements for our MARINE and ANCHOR trials, efficacy was evaluated in these trials compared to placebo at twelveweeks. No placebo-controlled studies have been conducted regarding the long-term effect of Vascepa on lipids, and no outcomes study has been conductedevaluating Vascepa. The REDUCE-IT study, which commenced in 2011 and completed patient enrollment and randomization of 8,175 individual patients in2016, is designed to evaluate the efficacy of Vascepa in reducing major cardiovascular events in an at-risk patient population with high triglyceride levelsdespite being on statin therapy. Based on projected event rates, we estimate the onset of the target aggregate number of primary cardiovascular events to bereached near the end of the first quarter of 2018 with study results then expected to be available and made public before the end of the third quarter of 2018,followed by publication of the results. We have instructed clinical sites to schedule patients enrolled in the study for their final site34 visits commencing March 1, 2018. In January 2018, we announced that more than 90% of the targeted events have been reported and documented.Outcomes studies of certain other lipid-modifying therapies have failed to achieve the endpoints of such studies, even though they reducedtriglyceride levels and showed other favorable effects on parameters relevant to cardiovascular health in studied patients, such as inflammation. For example,in 2010, the results of the ACCORD-Lipid trial were published. This trial studied the effect of adding fenofibrate onto open-label simvastatin therapy oncardiovascular outcomes. The addition of fenofibrate did not show any treatment benefit on cardiovascular outcomes over simvastatin monotherapy in thisstudy. In 2011, the results of the AIM-HIGH trial were published. This trial studied the effect of adding a second lipid-altering agent, extended-release niacin,to simvastatin therapy on cardiovascular outcomes in people at high risk for cardiovascular events. Niacin, for example, has also been shown to havefavorable effects on inflammation parameters. No significant incremental treatment benefit with extended-release niacin was observed.Outcomes studies of certain other lipid-modifying therapies included results which, after review of information not fully available to the sponsorsduring the conduct of the trials, modified initial reports of the trial results. Two examples are the AIM-HIGH trial and the IMPROVE-IT trial. When the AIM-HIGH trial was stopped, there were initial reports of certain safety concerns which, upon further and more detailed subsequent review, were concluded to notbe associated with the study therapy. After the IMPROVE-IT trial was completed, initial reports on the effect of adding ezetimibe to statin therapy in subjectswith acute coronary syndrome suggested greater benefit on cardiovascular outcomes than was considered to be the case after later reassessment and furtherevaluation of study data. In 2015, the results of the IMPROVE-IT trial were published. Based on the published results, the addition of ezetimibe showedincremental lowering of LDL-C levels and improved cardiovascular outcomes. This result was statistically significant but less than ten percent. Furtherevaluation of the IMPROVE-IT results suggested that the outcomes benefit may have been lower after factoring in and making certain assumptions regardingcomplicating factors such as a high number of patients who discontinued the study drug, withdrew consent, or were lost to follow-up. FDA approval of a newindication for ezetimibe based on the IMPROVE-IT results was denied after a negative FDA advisory committee recommendation that followed examinationof the study results.In addition, in September 2012, researchers published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, or JAMA, the results of a retrospectivemeta-analysis of twenty previously conducted studies regarding the use of omega-3 supplements across various patient populations. This meta-analysissuggested that the use of such supplements was not associated with a lower risk of all-cause death, cardiac death, sudden death, heart attack, or stroke. InJanuary 2018, JAMA Cardiology published an update to prior meta-analyses and again concluded no benefit for low dose omega-3 supplements (all but onetrial included both EPA and DHA) to prevent fatal coronary heart disease or any cardiovascular disease in people who have or are at high risk of developingcardiovascular disease. Previous meta-analyses of trials of omega-3 supplementation appeared to suggest a significant beneficial association of omega-3swith fatal coronary heart disease but not nonfatal coronary heart disease. However, the previous meta-analyses were limited as they included trials of dietaryadvice to eat fish or excluded trials that did not include a placebo-controlled arm. The JAMA Cardiology analysis does not support the recent AHArecommendation that 1 gram of an omega-3 dietary supplementation may be useful in patients with a history of coronary heart disease. These facts illustratecategories of challenges faced in demonstrating favorable results in complex clinical studies like REDUCE-IT and, assuming positive results of theREDUCE-IT study, in seeking to apply those results in support of regulatory approvals.Data from clinical trials are invariably complex. It is also not typically possible to reliably extrapolate results from one trial to predict results fromanother as many factors differ between trials. For instance, unlike REDUCE-IT, the outcomes studies for fenofibrates and niacin were conducted in patientpopulations in which the majority of patients studied had triglycerides below 200 mg/dL and fenofibrates and niacin are believed to work differently thanVascepa in the body and do not have as favorable a side-effect profile. Of all the studies included in both the JAMA and JAMA Cardiology meta-analyses, allbut one trial involved the use of omega-3 supplements containing a mixture of EPA and DHA or EPA and another omega fatty acid, and most were evaluatedat relatively lower doses. Vascepa is comprised of highly-pure ethyl-EPA, and has been approved by the FDA for use in adult patients with severehypertriglyceridemia at a higher dose of 4 grams per day and is being studied in REDUCE-IT at that 4 grams per day dose.The only other outcomes study involving the use of a highly-pure formulation of ethyl-EPA, called the Japan EPA Lipid Intervention Study (JELIS),suggested that use of a highly-pure formulation of ethyl-EPA in Japan, when used in conjunction with statins, reduced cardiovascular events by 19%compared to the use of statins alone. However, there are several limitations to comparing the JELIS study to REDUCE-IT. First, the patient population wasexclusively Japanese, the majority of the participants were women, and at baseline patients had much higher LDL-C levels, limiting its generalizability to theintended target population. Also, a low dose of statins was used. It is unknown whether the positive treatment effects would have persisted if these patientshad been optimally treated with statins using contemporary LDL-C targets in the United States. In addition, JELIS was an open-label trial, which couldinfluence patient and physician behavior and reporting of symptoms, decisions regarding hospitalization, and referral of events for adjudication. This may beparticularly relevant since hospitalization for unstable angina was a primary contributor of the overall positive result, and is considered a softer endpoint thanfatal cardiovascular events.35 Further, FDA determined that JELIS results could not be used as support for or against the use of triglyceride levels as a surrogate for cardiovascularrisk reduction. Patients treated with EPA and statin in JELIS achieved triglyceride levels that were only 5% lower, on average, than those achieved amongpatients treated with statin alone; however, the reduction in cardiovascular risk in the primary endpoint analysis was 19%. Likewise, within the primary andsecondary prevention sub-analyses, triglyceride levels were lowered only 5% on average in the EPA plus statin group compared with the statin alone group;however, the relative risk reduction was 53% in the primary prevention population with elevated triglyceride (≥150 mg/dL) and low HDL-C (≤40 mg/dL)levels and 23% in the secondary prevention population with established coronary artery disease. These large differences in magnitude between triglyceridereduction and risk reduction in JELIS suggest that the effects of EPA on triglyceride levels alone may not be responsible for, or predict, the observeddifferences in cardiovascular events between treatment groups in JELIS. JELIS was not designed to evaluate primary and secondary prevention populations.It is possible that the putative cardioprotective effects of EPA observed in JELIS are due not to a single mode of action, such as triglyceride lowering, butrather to multiple mechanisms working together, such as purported beneficial effects on multiple atherosclerosis processes, including endothelial function,oxidative stress, foam cell formation, inflammation/cytokines, plaque formation/progression, platelet aggregation, thrombus formation, and plaque rupture.The REDUCE-IT study is needed to determine the clinical benefit, if any, of EPA therapy in statin-treated patients with elevated triglyceride levels.In addition, the independent data monitoring committee for REDUCE-IT, or the DMC, has multiple times per year assessed safety data generated inthe ongoing study and has thus far recommended to continue the study as planned. Thus, multiple safety reviews to date have not warranted study stoppage.Nevertheless, the study may be stopped at any time based on recommendations of the DMC due to safety concerns identified by the DMC during its ongoingand regularly scheduled safety data assessments.There can be no assurance that the REDUCE-IT study will be completed successfully, that the endpoints of the REDUCE-IT cardiovascular outcomesstudy will be achieved, that, like the IMPROVE-IT trial, patients who discontinue the study drug, withdrew consent, or were lost to follow-up will notnegatively affect REDUCE-IT results, that the results will support regulatory approvals, or that the lipid-modifying effects of Vascepa in REDUCE-IT or anyother study of Vascepa will not be subject to variation beyond twelve weeks. If the REDUCE-IT trial is not successful or if the results of this long-term studyare not consistent with the 12-week clinical results, it could prevent us from expanding the labeled approval of Vascepa or even call into question thecurrently understood efficacy and safety profile of Vascepa. In any such case, the market potential for Vascepa would suffer and our business would bematerially affected.Our commercialization of Vascepa outside the United States is substantially dependent on third parties.We have expanded our Vascepa commercialization activities outside of the United States through several contractual arrangements in territoriesincluding China, the Middle East, North Africa and Canada. We continue to assess other opportunities to develop Vascepa commercialization outside of theUnited States through similar arrangements.In February 2015, we entered into a Development, Commercialization and Supply Agreement, or the DCS Agreement, with Eddingpharm (Asia)Macao Commercial Offshore Limited, or Eddingpharm, related to the development and commercialization of Vascepa in Mainland China, Hong Kong,Macau and Taiwan, or the China Territory. Under the DCS Agreement, Eddingpharm is responsible for development and commercialization activities in theChina Territory and associated expenses. Additionally, Eddingpharm is required to conduct clinical trials in the China Territory to secure regulatoryapproval in certain territories. For example, in December 2017, Eddingpharm commenced a pivotal clinical trial aimed to support the regulatory approval ofthe first indication of Vascepa in a patient population with severe hypertriglyceridemia in Mainland China. Additional clinical development efforts may benecessary in this market. Significant commercialization of Vascepa in the China Territory is several years away, if at all. If Eddingpharm is not able toeffectively develop and commercialize Vascepa in the China Territory, we may not be able to generate revenue from the DCS Agreement resulting from thesale of Vascepa in the China Territory.In March 2016, we entered into an agreement with Biologix FZCo, or Biologix, to register and commercialize Vascepa in several Middle Eastern andNorth African countries. Under the terms of the distribution agreement, we granted to Biologix a non-exclusive license to use our trademarks in connectionwith the importation, distribution, promotion, marketing and sale of Vascepa in the Middle East and North Africa territory. Commercialization across theMiddle East and North Africa is several years away, if at all, in the most commercially significant territories and subject to similar risks as in the ChinaTerritory.In September 2017, we entered into an agreement with HLS Therapeutics Inc., or HLS, to register, commercialize and distribute Vascepa in Canada.Under the agreement, HLS is responsible for regulatory and commercialization activities and associated costs. Amarin is responsible for providing assistancetowards local filings, supplying finished product under negotiated supply terms, maintaining intellectual property, and continuing the development andfunding of REDUCE-IT. Significant commercialization of Vascepa in Canada is several years away, if at all. If HLS Therapeutics is not able to effectivelyregister and commercialize Vascepa in Canada, we may not be able to generate revenue from the agreement as a result of the sale of Vascepa in Canada.We have limited experience working with partners outside the United States to develop and market our products in non-U.S. jurisdictions. In order forour partners to market and sell Vascepa in any country outside of the United States for any indication, it will be necessary to obtain regulatory approval fromthe appropriate regulatory authorities. The requirements and timing for regulatory approval, which may include conducting clinical trials, vary widely fromcountry to country and may in some cases be different than36 or more rigorous than requirements in the United States. Any failure by us or our partners to obtain approval for Vascepa in non-U.S. jurisdictions in a timelymanner may limit the commercial success of Vascepa and our ability to grow our revenues.The commercial value to us of sales of Vascepa outside the United States may be smaller than we anticipate.There can be no assurance as to the adequacy for commercial success of Vascepa outside the United States. For example, even if we and Eddingpharmobtain marketing approval in countries within the China Territory, applicable regulatory agencies may impose restrictions on the product’s conditions foruse, distribution or marketing and in some cases may impose ongoing requirements for post-market surveillance, post-approval studies or clinical trials. Also,there is a degree of unpredictability with regard to the eventual pricing and reimbursement levels of medications in markets outside the United States. If thepricing and reimbursement levels of Vascepa are lower than we anticipate, then affordability of, and market access to, Vascepa may be adversely affected andthus market potential in these territories would suffer. Furthermore, with regard to any indications for which we may gain approval in territories outside theUnited States, the number of actual patients with the condition included in such approved indication may be smaller than we anticipate. If any such approvedindication is narrower than we anticipate, the market potential in these countries for our product would suffer.Our products and marketing efforts are subject to extensive post-approval government regulation.Once a product candidate receives FDA marketing approval, numerous post-approval requirements apply. Among other things, the holder of anapproved NDA is subject to periodic and other monitoring and reporting obligations enforced by the FDA and other regulatory bodies, including obligationsto monitor and report adverse events and instances of the failure of a product to meet the specifications in the approved application. Application holders mustalso submit advertising and other promotional material to regulatory authorities and report on ongoing clinical trials.With respect to sales and marketing activities including direct-to-healthcare provider and direct-to-consumer advertising and promotional activitiesinvolving the internet, advertising and promotional materials must comply with FDA rules in addition to other applicable federal and local laws in the UnitedStates and in other countries. The result of our First Amendment litigation and settlement may cause the government to scrutinize our promotional efforts orotherwise monitor our business more closely. Industry-sponsored scientific and educational activities also must comply with FDA and other requirements. Inthe United States, the distribution of product samples to physicians must comply with the requirements of the U.S. Prescription Drug Marketing Act.Manufacturing facilities remain subject to FDA inspection and must continue to adhere to the FDA’s pharmaceutical current good manufacturing practicerequirements, or cGMPs. Application holders must obtain FDA approval for product and manufacturing changes, depending on the nature of the change.We also are subject to the new federal transparency requirements under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Careand Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively the PPACA, enacted in March 2010, which require manufacturers of certain drugs, devices, biologics, andmedical supplies to report to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS, information related to payments and other transfers of value tophysicians and teaching hospitals and physician ownership and investment interests. We may also be subject, directly or indirectly through our customersand partners, to various fraud and abuse laws, including, without limitation, the U.S. Anti-Kickback Statute, U.S. False Claims Act, and similar state laws,which impact, among other things, our proposed sales, marketing, and scientific/educational grant programs. If we participate in the U.S. Medicaid DrugRebate Program, the Federal Supply Schedule of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, or other government drug programs, we will be subject to complexlaws and regulations regarding reporting and payment obligations. We must also comply with requirements to collect and report adverse events and productcomplaints associated with our products. For example, in September 2014, we participated in a routine inspection from the FDA in which the FDA madeobservations on perceived deficiencies related to our processes for collection and processing of adverse events. We have responded to FDA with respect tothese observations and continue to work with FDA to show that we have improved related systems and, given we received communication from the FDA thatit considers this matter to be closed, we believe that we have demonstrated to FDA that we have adequately responded to these observations. Our activitiesare also subject to U.S. federal and state consumer protection and unfair competition laws, non-compliance with which could subject us to significantliability. Similar requirements exist in many of these areas in other countries.Depending on the circumstances, failure to meet these post-approval requirements can result in criminal prosecution, fines or other penalties,injunctions, recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension of production, denial or withdrawal of pre-marketing product approvals, or refusal toallow us to enter into supply contracts, including government contracts. We may also be held responsible for the non-compliance of our partners, such asKowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. In addition, even if we comply with FDA and other requirements, new information regarding the safety or effectivenessof a product could lead the FDA to modify or withdraw a product approval. Adverse regulatory action, whether pre- or post-approval, can potentially lead toproduct liability claims and increase our product liability exposure. We must also compete against other products in qualifying for coverage andreimbursement under applicable third-party payment and insurance programs. In addition, all of the above factors may also apply to any regulatory approvalfor Vascepa obtained in territories outside the United States. Given our inexperience with marketing and37 commercializing products outside the United States, we will need to rely on third parties, such as Eddingpharm in China, to assist us in dealing with any suchissues.Legislative or regulatory reform of the healthcare system in the United States and foreign jurisdictions may affect our ability to profitably sell Vascepa.Our ability to commercialize our future products successfully, alone or with collaborators, will depend in part on the extent to which coverage andreimbursement for the products will be available from government and health administration authorities, private health insurers and other third-party payors.The continuing efforts of the U.S. and foreign governments, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of healthcare services tocontain or reduce healthcare costs may adversely affect our ability to set prices for our products which we believe are fair, and our ability to generate revenuesand achieve and maintain profitability.Specifically, in both the United States and some foreign jurisdictions, there have been a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell our products profitably. For example, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, asamended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively the PPACA, enacted in March 2010, substantially changes the way healthcareis financed by both governmental and private insurers. Among other cost-containment measures, PPACA establishes: •an annual, nondeductible fee on any entity that manufactures or imports certain branded prescription drugs and biologic agents; •a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program, in which pharmaceutical manufacturers who wish to have their drugs covered under PartD must offer discounts to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period; •a new formula that increases the rebates a manufacturer must pay under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program; and •new policies or laws affecting Vascepa sales, such as state and federal efforts to affect drug pricing and provide healthcare coverage thatincludes reimbursement for prescription drugs.We expect further federal and state proposals and healthcare reforms to continue to be proposed by legislators, which could limit the prices that can becharged for the products we develop and may limit our commercial opportunity. It appears likely that the Affordable Care Act will continue the pressure onpharmaceutical pricing, especially under the Medicare and Medicaid programs, and may also increase our regulatory burdens and operating costs. Legislativechanges to the Affordable Care Act remain possible under the Trump Administration.The continuing efforts of government and other third-party payors to further contain or reduce the costs of healthcare through various means may limitour commercial opportunity. For example, the State of California recently enacted legislation that requires notice for exceeding specified limits on annualdrug price increases and other legislation that seeks to limit the use of co-pay cards in certain situations. These and other measures at the federal and statelevels, to the extent applicable to us, could negatively affect our revenue and results from operations.In addition, it is time-consuming and expensive for us to go through the process of seeking coverage and reimbursement from Medicare and privatepayors. Our products may not be considered cost effective, and government and third-party private health insurance coverage and reimbursement may not beavailable to patients for any of our future products or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on a competitive and profitable basis. Our results of operationscould be adversely affected by PPACA and by other healthcare reforms that may be enacted or adopted in the future. In addition, increasing emphasis onmanaged care in the United States will continue to put pressure on the pricing of pharmaceutical products. For example, proposals are being considered toexpand the use of dietary supplements in addition to or in place of drugs in government and private payor plans. In addition, cost control initiatives coulddecrease the price that we or any potential collaborators could receive for any of our future products and could adversely affect our profitability.In some foreign countries, including major markets in the European Union and Japan, the pricing of prescription pharmaceuticals is subject togovernmental control. In these countries, pricing negotiations with governmental authorities can take 6 to 12 months or longer after the receipt of regulatorymarketing approval for a product. To obtain reimbursement or pricing approval in some countries, we may be required to conduct a pharmacoeconomic studythat compares the cost-effectiveness of Vascepa to other available therapies. Such pharmacoeconomic studies can be costly and the results uncertain. Ourbusiness could be harmed if reimbursement of our products is unavailable or limited in scope or amount or if pricing is set at unsatisfactory levels.38 The FDA and other regulatory agencies strictly regulate the promotional claims that may be made about prescription products. If we or our partnersare found to have improperly promoted uses, efficacy or safety of Vascepa, we may become subject to significant fines and other liability. Thegovernment may seek to find means to prevent our promotion of truthful and non-misleading information beyond the current court ruling and litigationsettlement.The FDA and other regulatory agencies strictly regulate the promotional claims that may be made about prescription products. In particular, ingeneral, the U.S. government’s position has been that a product may not be promoted for uses that are not approved by the FDA as reflected in the product’sapproved labeling. Even though we received FDA marketing approval for Vascepa for the MARINE indication and we believe the First Amendment courtruling and litigation settlement affords us a degree of protection for other promotional efforts, physicians may still prescribe Vascepa to their patients for usein the treatment of conditions that are not included as part of the indication statement in our FDA-approved Vascepa label or our settlement. If we are foundto have promoted Vascepa outside the terms of the litigation settlement or in violation of what federal or state government may determine to be acceptable,we may become subject to significant government fines and other related liability, such as under the FDCA, the False Claims Act, or other theories ofliability. Government may also seek to hold us responsible for the non-compliance of our co-promotion partner, Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc., or ourcommercialization partners outside the United States. For example, the Federal government has levied large civil and criminal fines against companies foralleged improper promotion and has enjoined several companies from engaging in off-label promotion. The FDA has also requested that companies enter intoconsent decrees or permanent injunctions under which specified promotional conduct is changed or curtailed.In addition, incentives exist under applicable laws that encourage competitors, employees and physicians to report violations of rules governingpromotional activities for pharmaceutical products. These incentives could lead to so-called “whistleblower lawsuits” as part of which such persons seek tocollect a portion of moneys allegedly overbilled to government agencies due to, for example, promotion of pharmaceutical products beyond labeled claims.These incentives could also lead to suits that we have mischaracterized a competitor’s product in the marketplace and we may, as a result, be sued for allegeddamages to our competitors. Such lawsuits, whether with or without merit, are typically time-consuming and costly to defend. Such suits may also result inrelated shareholder lawsuits, which are also costly to defend.Even though we have a final settlement in our litigation related to promotion beyond FDA-approved labeling, our promotion would still be subject toa high, perhaps abnormally high, degree of scrutiny to ensure that our promotion remains within the permitted scope. Likewise, federal or state governmentmay seek to find other means to prevent our promotion of truthful and non-misleading information.We may not be successful in developing or marketing future products if we cannot meet the extensive regulatory requirements of the FDA and otherregulatory agencies for quality, safety and efficacy.The success of our research and development efforts is dependent in part upon our ability, and the ability of our partners or potential partners, to meetregulatory requirements in the jurisdictions where we or our partners or potential partners ultimately intend to sell such products once approved. Thedevelopment, manufacture and marketing of pharmaceutical products are subject to extensive regulation by governmental authorities in the United Statesand elsewhere. In the United States, the FDA generally requires preclinical testing and clinical trials of each drug to establish its safety and efficacy andextensive pharmaceutical development to ensure its quality before its introduction into the market. Regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions imposesimilar requirements. The process of obtaining regulatory approvals is lengthy and expensive and the issuance of such approvals is uncertain. Thecommencement and rate of completion of clinical trials and the timing of obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities may be delayed by manyfactors, including but not limited to: •the lack of efficacy during clinical trials; •the inability to manufacture sufficient quantities of qualified materials under cGMPs for use in clinical trials; •slower than expected rates of patient recruitment; •the inability to observe patients adequately after treatment; •changes in regulatory requirements for clinical trials or preclinical studies; •the emergence of unforeseen safety issues in clinical trials or preclinical studies; •delay, suspension, or termination of a trial by the institutional review board responsible for overseeing the study at a particular study site; •unanticipated changes to the requirements imposed by regulatory authorities on the extent, nature or timing of studies to be conducted onquality, safety and efficacy; •government or regulatory delays or “clinical holds” requiring suspension or termination of a trial; and39 •political instability affecting our clinical trial sites, such as the potential for political unrest affecting our REDUCE-IT clinical trial sites in theUkraine and Russia.Even if we obtain positive results from early stage preclinical studies or clinical trials, we may not achieve the same success in future trials. Clinicaltrials that we or potential partners conduct may not provide sufficient safety and efficacy data to obtain the requisite regulatory approvals for productcandidates. The failure of clinical trials to demonstrate safety and efficacy for our desired indications could harm the development of that product candidateas well as other product candidates, and our business and results of operations would suffer. For example, the efficacy results of our Vascepa Phase 3 clinicaltrials for the treatment of Huntington’s disease were negative. As a result, we stopped development of that product candidate, revised our clinical strategy andshifted our focus to develop Vascepa for use in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Questions can also arise on the quality of study data or its reliability.For example, during the public advisory committee meeting held by FDA as part of its review of our ANCHOR sNDA, a discussion regarding observed,nominally statistically significant changes from baseline in an adverse direction, while on background statin therapy, in certain lipid parameters, includingtriglycerides, in the placebo group, raised questions about the possibility that the mineral oil placebo used in the ANCHOR trial (and in the REDUCE-ITtrial) might not be biologically inert and might be viewed as artificially exaggerating the clinical effect of Vascepa when measured against placebo in theANCHOR trial. Ultimately, no strong evidence for biological activity of mineral oil was identified by the FDA before its approval of Vascepa after review ofthe MARINE and ANCHOR trials and consideration of other data regarding mineral oil. It was ultimately concluded that the between-group differences likelyprovided the most appropriate descriptions of the treatment effect of Vascepa and that whatever factor(s) led to the within-group changes over time in theplacebo group were likely randomly distributed to all treatment groups. Thus, the FDA approved Vascepa for use in the MARINE indication in July 2012,FDA did not dispute the veracity of the ANCHOR trial data and, in connection with the March 2016 agreement we reached with the FDA allowing us topromote the results of the ANCHOR study, the FDA did not seek to require that we include any qualification related to this earlier question regarding themineral oil placebo. The FDA, early on in the course of the REDUCE-IT trial, directed the DMC for REDUCE-IT to periodically review unblinded lipid datato monitor for signals that the placebo might not be inert. After each such quarterly unblinded safety analysis and review meeting to date, the DMC hasrecommended to continue the REDUCE-IT study as planned. Each of these ongoing DMC recommendations has been shared with FDA. Amarin and FDAremain blinded to such study data. Despite the currently positive disposition of this matter, it illustrates that concerns such as this may arise in the future thatcould affect our product development, regulatory review or the public perception of our products and our future prospects.Any approvals that are obtained may be limited in scope, may require additional post-approval studies or may require the addition of labelingstatements focusing on product safety that could affect the commercial potential for our product candidates. Any of these or similar circumstances couldadversely affect our ability to gain approval for new indications and affect revenues from the sale of our products. Even in circumstances where products areapproved by a regulatory body for sale, the regulatory or legal requirements may change over time, or new safety or efficacy information may be identifiedconcerning a product, which may lead to the withdrawal of a product from the market or similar use restrictions. The discovery of previously unknownproblems with a clinical trial or product, or in connection with the manufacturer of products, may result in regulatory issues that prevent past or proposedfuture approvals of a product and/or restrictions on that product or manufacturer, including withdrawal of an indication or the product from the market, whichwould have a negative impact on our potential revenue stream.As we continue to evolve from a company primarily involved in research and development to a company also focused on establishing an infrastructurefor commercializing Vascepa, we may encounter difficulties in managing our growth and expanding our operations successfully.The process of establishing a commercial infrastructure is difficult, expensive and time-consuming. We have a relatively small sales organizationconsisting of approximately 165 sales professionals, including sales representatives and their managers. We anticipate increasing our sales force to a total ofapproximately 400 to 500 sales professionals after REDUCE-IT results, assuming success. As our operations expand with the anticipated growth of ourproduct sales, we expect that we will need to manage additional relationships with various collaborative partners, suppliers and other third parties. Futuregrowth will impose significant added responsibilities on members of management, including the need to identify, recruit, maintain and integrate additionalemployees. Our future financial performance and our ability to commercialize Vascepa and to compete effectively will depend, in part, on our ability tomanage our future growth effectively. To that end, we must be able to manage our development efforts effectively, and hire, train, integrate and retainadditional management, administrative and sales and marketing personnel. We may not be able to accomplish these tasks, and our failure to accomplish anyof them could prevent us from successfully growing our company.Risks Related to our Reliance on Third PartiesOur supply of product for the commercial market and clinical trials is dependent upon relationships with third-party manufacturers and key suppliers.We have no in-house manufacturing capacity and rely on contract manufacturers for our clinical and commercial product supply. We cannot ensurethat we will successfully manufacture any product we may develop, either independently or under40 manufacturing arrangements, if any, with our third-party manufacturers. Moreover, if any manufacturer should cease doing business with us or experiencedelays, shortages of supply or excessive demands on their capacity, we may not be able to obtain adequate quantities of product in a timely manner, or at all.Any manufacturing problem, natural disaster affecting manufacturing facilities, or the loss of a contract manufacturer could be disruptive to ouroperations and result in lost sales. Any reliance on suppliers may involve several risks, including a potential inability to obtain critical materials and reducedcontrol over production costs, delivery schedules, reliability and quality. Any unanticipated disruption to future contract manufacture caused by problems atsuppliers could delay shipment of products, increase our cost of goods sold and/or result in lost sales. If our suppliers were unable to supply us with adequatevolumes of active pharmaceutical ingredient (drug substance) or encapsulated bulk product (drug product), it would have a material adverse effect on ourability to continue to commercialize Vascepa. We initially purchased all of our supply of the bulk compound (ethyl-EPA), or Vascepa API, from a single supplier, Nisshin Pharma, Inc., or Nisshin,located in Japan. Nisshin was approved by the FDA as a Vascepa API supplier as part of our FDA NDA for the MARINE indication in July 2012. In April2013, we announced the approval by the FDA of an NDA supplement for Chemport, Inc. and BASF (formerly Equateq Limited) as additional Vascepa APIsuppliers. We terminated our agreement with BASF due to its inability to meet the agreement requirements, may enter into a new development and supplyagreement with BASF, and may purchase API from BASF as it remains an NDA-approved supplier. In 2014, we obtained sNDA approval for a fourth supplierof API, which includes the manufacturing facility of Finorga SAS (Novasep). We currently purchase and use commercial supply from Novasep, Chemport, andNisshin. Each of the API manufacturers obtains supply of the key raw material to manufacture API from other qualified third-parties.While we have contractual freedom to source the API for Vascepa and have entered into supply agreements with multiple suppliers who also rely onother third-party suppliers to manufacture the API for Vascepa, Novasep, Nisshin and Chemport currently supply all of our API for Vascepa. Our strategy inadding API suppliers has been to expand manufacturing capacity, maintain competitive advantages, and mitigate the risk of reliance on any single supplier.Expanding manufacturing capacity and qualifying such capacity is complex and subject to numerous regulations and other operational challenges.The resources of our suppliers vary and are limited; costs associated with projected expansion and qualification can be significant. For example, Chemport,which was approved as one of our API suppliers in April 2013, is a privately-held company and their commitment to Vascepa supply has required them toseek additional resources. There can be no assurance that the expansion plans of any of our suppliers will be successful. Our aggregate capacity to produceAPI is dependent upon the qualification of our API suppliers. Each of our API suppliers has outlined plans for potential further capacity expansion. If noadditional API supplier is approved by the FDA as part of an sNDA, our API supply will be limited to the API we purchase from previously approvedsuppliers. If our third-party manufacturing capacity is not expanded and/or compliant with applicable regulatory requirements, we may not be able to supplysufficient quantities of Vascepa to meet anticipated demand. We cannot guarantee that we can contract with any future manufacturer on acceptable terms orthat any such alternative supplier will not require capital investment from us in order for them to meet our requirements. Alternatively, our purchase of supplymay exceed actual demand for Vascepa.We currently have encapsulation agreements with three commercial API encapsulators for the encapsulation of Vascepa: Patheon, Inc. (formerlyBanner Pharmacaps, now part of Thermo Fisher Scientific), Catalent Pharma Solutions, and Capsugel Plöermel SAS (now a Lonza company). Thesecompanies have qualified and validated their manufacturing processes and are capable of manufacturing Vascepa. There can be no guarantee that additionalother suppliers with which we have contracted to encapsulate API will be qualified to manufacture the product to our specifications or that these and anyfuture suppliers will have the manufacturing capacity to meeting anticipated demand for Vascepa.We may purchase too much or not enough supply to satisfy actual demand, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial results andfinancial condition.Certain of our agreements with our suppliers include minimum purchase obligations and limited exclusivity provisions. These purchases are generallymade on the basis of rolling twelve-month forecasts which in part are binding on us and the balance of which are subject to adjustment by us subject tocertain limitations. Certain of our agreements also include contractual minimum purchase commitments regardless of the rolling twelve-month forecasts. Wemay not purchase sufficient quantities of Vascepa to meet actual demand or our purchase of supply may exceed actual demand. In either case, such eventcould have a material adverse effect on our financial results and financial condition. 41 The manufacture, packaging and distribution of pharmaceutical products such as Vascepa are subject to FDA regulations and those of similar foreignregulatory bodies. If we or our third-party manufacturers fail to satisfy these requirements, our product development and commercialization efforts maybe materially harmed.The manufacture, packaging and distribution of pharmaceutical products, such as Vascepa, are regulated by the FDA and similar foreign regulatorybodies and must be conducted in accordance with the FDA’s pharmaceutical current good manufacturing practices, or cGMPs, and comparable requirementsof foreign regulatory bodies. There are a limited number of manufacturers that operate under these cGMPs and International Council for Harmonisation ofTechnical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use, or ICH, regulations who are both capable of manufacturing Vascepa and willingto do so. Failure by us or our third-party manufacturers to comply with applicable regulations, requirements, or guidelines could result in sanctions beingimposed on us, including fines, injunctions, civil penalties, failure of regulatory authorities to grant marketing approval of our products, delays, suspensionor withdrawal of approvals, license revocation, seizures or voluntary recalls of product, operating restrictions and criminal prosecutions, any of which couldsignificantly and adversely affect our business. If we are not able to manufacture Vascepa to required specifications through our current and potential APIsuppliers, we may be delayed in successfully supplying the product to meet anticipated demand and our anticipated future revenues and financial results maybe materially adversely affected.Changes in the manufacturing process or procedure, including a change in the location where the product is manufactured or a change of a third-partymanufacturer, may require prior FDA review and pre-approval of the manufacturing process and procedures in accordance with the FDA’s cGMPs. Any newfacility may be subject to a pre-approval inspection by the FDA and would again require us to demonstrate product comparability to the FDA. There arecomparable foreign requirements under ICH guidelines. This review may be costly and time consuming and could delay or prevent the launch of a product.Furthermore, the FDA and foreign regulatory agencies require that we be able to consistently produce the API and the finished product in commercialquantities and of specified quality on a repeated basis, including demonstrated product stability, and document our ability to do so. This requirement isreferred to as process validation. This includes stability testing, measurement of impurities and testing of other product specifications by validated testmethods. If the FDA does not consider the result of the process validation or required testing to be satisfactory, the commercial supply of Vascepa may bedelayed, or we may not be able to supply sufficient quantities of Vascepa to meet anticipated demand.The FDA and similar foreign regulatory bodies may also implement new requirements, or change their interpretation and enforcement of existingrequirements, for manufacture, packaging or testing of products at any time. If we or our approved suppliers are unable to comply, we may be subject toregulatory, civil actions or penalties which could significantly and adversely affect our business.We rely on third parties to conduct our clinical trials, and those third parties may not perform satisfactorily, including failing to meet establisheddeadlines for the completion of such clinical trials.Our reliance on third parties for clinical development activities reduces our control over these activities. However, if we sponsor clinical trials, we areresponsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance with the general investigational plan and protocols for the trials. Moreover,the FDA requires us to comply with requirements, commonly referred to as good clinical practices, for conducting, recording, and reporting the results ofclinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights, integrity and confidentiality of trial participants areprotected. Our reliance on third parties does not relieve us of these responsibilities and requirements. Furthermore, these third parties may also haverelationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or meetexpected deadlines, we may be delayed in obtaining regulatory approvals for our product candidates and may be delayed in our efforts to successfullycommercialize our product candidates for targeted diseases.Risks Related to our Intellectual PropertyWe are dependent on patents, proprietary rights and confidentiality to protect the commercial potential of Vascepa.Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our drug candidates, technology and know-how,and to operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others. Our ability to successfully implement our business plan and to protect our products with ourintellectual property will depend in large part on our ability to: •obtain, defend and maintain patent protection and market exclusivity for our current and future products; •preserve any trade secrets relating to our current and future products; •acquire patented or patentable products and technologies; and •operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties.42 We have prosecuted, and are currently prosecuting, multiple patent applications to protect the intellectual property developed during the Vascepadevelopment program. As of the date of this report, we had 62 patent applications in the United States that have been either issued or allowed and more than30 additional patent applications are pending in the United States. Such 62 allowed and issued applications include the following: •2 issued U.S. patents directed to a pharmaceutical composition of Vascepa in a capsule that have terms that expire in 2020 and 2030,respectively; •1 issued U.S. patent covering a composition containing highly pure EPA that expires in 2021; •45 U.S. patents covering or related to the use of Vascepa in either the MARINE or ANCHOR populations that have terms that expire in 2030 orlater; •4 additional patents related to the use of a pharmaceutical composition comprised of free fatty acids to treat the ANCHOR patient populationwith a term that expires in 2030 or later; •2 additional patents related to the use of a pharmaceutical composition comprised of free fatty acids to treat the MARINE patient populationwith a term that expires in 2030; •1 additional patent related to a pharmaceutical composition comprised of free fatty acids and uses thereof to treat both the MARINE andANCHOR patient populations with a term that expires in 2030; •1 additional patent related to a formulation of EPA/DHA and uses thereof with a term that expires in 2030; •1 additional patent related to the use of Vascepa to treat obesity with a term that expires in 2030; •2 additional patents covering a pharmaceutical composition comprised of EPA and a hydroxyl compound with a term that expires in 2034; and •3 additional patents covering a new combination therapy comprised of EPA and another drug.A Notice of Allowance is issued after the USPTO makes a determination that a patent can be granted from an application. A Notice of Allowance doesnot afford patent protection until the underlying patent is issued by the USPTO. No assurance can be given that applications with issued notices of allowancewill be issued as patents or that any of our pending patent applications will issue as patents. No assurance can be given that, if and when issued, our patentswill prevent competitors from competing with Vascepa. For example, we may choose to not assert all issued patents in patent litigation and patents or claimswithin patents may be determined to be invalid.We are also pursuing patent applications related to Vascepa in multiple jurisdictions outside the United States. We may be dependent in some casesupon third-party licensors to pursue filing, prosecution and maintenance of patent rights or applications owned or controlled by those parties. It is possiblethat third parties will obtain patents or other proprietary rights that might be necessary or useful to us. In cases where third parties are first to invent aparticular product or technology, or first to file after various provisions of the America Invents Act of 2011 went into effect on March 16, 2013, it is possiblethat those parties will obtain patents that will be sufficiently broad so as to prevent us from utilizing such technology or commercializing our current andfuture products.Although we intend to make reasonable efforts to protect our current and future intellectual property rights and to ensure that any proprietarytechnology we acquire or develop does not infringe the rights of other parties, we may not be able to ascertain the existence of all potentially conflictingclaims. Therefore, there is a risk that third parties may make claims of infringement against our current or future products or technologies. In addition, thirdparties may be able to obtain patents that prevent the sale of our current or future products or require us to obtain a license and pay significant fees orroyalties in order to continue selling such products.We may in the future discover the existence of products that infringe patents that we own or that have been licensed to us. If we were to initiate legalproceedings against a third party to stop such an infringement, such proceedings could be costly and time consuming, regardless of the outcome. Noassurances can be given that we would prevail, and it is possible that, during such a proceeding, our patent rights could be held to be invalid, unenforceableor both. Although we intend to protect our trade secrets and proprietary know-how through confidentiality agreements with our manufacturers, employeesand consultants, we may not be able to prevent parties subject to such confidentiality agreements from breaching these agreements or third parties fromindependently developing or learning of our trade secrets.We anticipate that competitors may from time to time oppose our efforts to obtain patent protection for new technologies or to submit patentedtechnologies for regulatory approvals. Competitors may seek to oppose our patent applications to delay the approval process or to challenge our grantedpatents, for example, by requesting a reexamination of our patent at the USPTO, or by filing an opposition in a foreign patent office, even if the opposition orchallenge has little or no merit. For example, one of our patents was revoked in an opposition proceeding in Europe due to a determination of improper claimamendments under a provision of law not applicable in the United States. Such proceedings are generally highly technical, expensive, and time consuming,and there can be no assurance that such a challenge would not result in the narrowing or complete revocation of any patent of ours that was so challenged.43 Our issued patents may not prevent competitors from competing with Vascepa, even if we seek to enforce our patent rights.We plan to vigorously defend our rights under issued patents. For example, in March 2014, we filed a patent infringement suit against OmtheraPharmaceuticals, Inc., and its parent company, AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP. The suit sought injunctive relief and monetary damages for infringement ofour U.S. Patent No. 8,663,662. The complaint alleged infringement of the patent arising from the expected launch of Epanova, a product that is expected tocompete with Vascepa in the United States. The patent covers methods of lowering triglycerides by administering a pharmaceutical composition thatincludes amounts of EPA as free acid, and no more than about 30% DHA. In November 2014, based on a representation from AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LPthat the commercial launch of Epanova was not imminent, the court dismissed our complaint, without prejudice (i.e., preserving our ability to later re-file thesuit). The court required the defendant to notify us before any product launch. We intend to pursue this litigation vigorously and aggressively protect itsintellectual property rights. However, patent litigation is a time-consuming and costly process. There can be no assurance that we will be successful inenforcing this patent or that it will not be successfully challenged and invalidated. Even if we are successful in enforcing this patent, the process could takeyears to reach conclusion.Other drug companies may challenge the validity, enforceability, or both of our patents and seek to design its products around our issued patentclaims and gain marketing approval for generic versions of Vascepa or branded competitive products based on new clinical studies. The pharmaceuticalindustry is highly competitive and many of our competitors have greater experience and resources than we have. Any such competition could underminesales, marketing and collaboration efforts for Vascepa, and thus reduce, perhaps materially, the revenue potential for Vascepa.Even if we are successful in enforcing our issued patents, we may incur substantial costs and divert management’s time and attention in pursuing theseproceedings, which could have a material adverse effect on us. Patent litigation is costly and time consuming, and we may not have sufficient resources tobring these actions to a successful conclusion.There can be no assurance that any of our pending patent applications relating to Vascepa or its use will issue as patents.We have filed and are prosecuting numerous families of patent applications in the United States and internationally with claims designed to protectthe proprietary position of Vascepa. For certain of these patent families, we have filed multiple patent applications. Collectively the patent applicationsinclude numerous independent claims and dependent claims. Several of our patent applications contain claims that are based upon what we believe areunexpected and favorable findings from the MARINE and ANCHOR trials. If granted, many of the resulting granted patents would expire in 2030 or beyond.However, no assurance can be given that these additional MARINE and ANCHOR patents or any of our pending patent applications intended to cover anindication based on future results from the REDUCE-IT clinical trial will be granted or, if they grant, that they will prevent competitors from competing withVascepa.Securing patent protection for a product is a complex process involving many legal and factual questions. The patent applications we have filed in theUnited States and internationally are at varying stages of examination, the timing of which is outside our control. The process to getting a patent granted canbe lengthy and claims initially submitted are often modified in order to satisfy the requirements of the patent office. This process includes written and publiccommunication with the patent office. The process can also include direct discussions with the patent examiner. There can be no assurance that the patentoffice will accept our arguments with respect to any patent application or with respect to any claim therein. The timing of the patent review process isindependent of and has no effect on the timing of the FDA’s review of our NDA or sNDA submissions. We cannot predict the timing or results of any patentapplication. In addition, we may elect to submit, or the patent office may require, additional evidence to support certain of the claims we are pursuing.Furthermore, third parties may attempt to submit publications for consideration by the patent office during examination of our patent applications. Providingsuch additional evidence and publications could prolong the patent office’s review of our applications and result in us incurring additional costs. We cannotbe certain what commercial value any granted patent in our patent estate will provide to us.Despite the use of confidentiality agreements and/or proprietary rights agreements, which themselves may be of limited effectiveness, it may be difficultfor us to protect our trade secrets.In addition to our patent portfolio and strategy, we will also rely upon trade secrets and know-how to help protect our competitive position. We relyon trade secrets to protect technology in cases when we believe patent protection is not appropriate or obtainable. However, trade secrets are difficult toprotect. While we require certain of our academic collaborators, contractors and consultants to enter into confidentiality agreements, we may not be able toadequately protect our trade secrets or other proprietary information.Risks Related to our BusinessIf the estimates we make, or the assumptions on which we rely, in preparing our projected guidance prove inaccurate, our actual results may vary fromthose reflected in our projections and accruals.In January 2018, we issued financial and business guidance, including expected fiscal year 2018 total net revenue and expectations regardingimproved cash flow from commercial operations and timing of the REDUCE-IT outcomes trial. All such44 guidance is based on estimates and the judgment of management. Because of the inherent nature of estimates, there could be significant differences betweenour estimates and the actual amount of product demand. If, for any reason, we are unable to realize our currently projected 2018 revenue, we may not realizeour publicly announced financial guidance. If we fail to realize or if we change or update any element of our publicly disclosed financial guidance or otherexpectations about our business, our stock price could decline in value.Potential technological changes in our field of business create considerable uncertainty.We are engaged in the biopharmaceutical field, which is characterized by extensive research efforts and rapid technological progress. Newdevelopments in research are expected to continue at a rapid pace in both industry and academia. We cannot assure you that research and discoveries byothers will not render some or all of our programs or product candidates uncompetitive or obsolete. Our business strategy is based in part upon new andunproven technologies to the development of therapeutics to improve cardiovascular health. We cannot assure you that unforeseen problems will notdevelop with these technologies or applications or that any commercially feasible products will ultimately be developed by us.We are subject to potential product liability.Following the commercial launch of Vascepa, we will be subject to the potential risk of product liability claims relating to the manufacturing andmarketing of Vascepa. Any person who is injured as a result of using Vascepa may have a product liability claim against us without having to prove that wewere at fault.In addition, we could be subject to product liability claims by persons who took part in clinical trials involving our current or former developmentstage products. A successful claim brought against us could have a material adverse effect on our business. We cannot guarantee that a product liability claimwill not be asserted against us in the future.We may become subject to liability in connection with the wind-down of our EN101 program.In 2007, we purchased Ester Neurosciences Limited, or Ester, an Israeli pharmaceutical company, and its lead product candidate, EN101, an AChE-RmRNA inhibitor for the treatment of myasthenia gravis, or MG, a debilitating neuromuscular disease. In connection with the acquisition, we assumed alicense to certain intellectual property assets related to EN101 from the Yissum Research Development Company of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, orYissum. In keeping with our 2009 decision to re-focus our efforts on developing improved treatments for cardiovascular disease and cease development of allproduct candidates outside of our cardiovascular disease focus, we amended the terms of our acquisition agreement with the original shareholders of Ester.Following our decision to cease development of EN101, Yissum terminated its license agreement with us. In June 2011, Yissum announced that it hadentered into a license agreement with BiolineRX Ltd for the development of EN101 in a different indication, inflammatory bowel disease.In 2011 and early 2012, but not after, we received several communications on behalf of the former shareholders of Ester asserting that we are in breachof our agreement with them as it relates to alleged rights to share in the value of EN101 due to the fact that Yissum terminated its license. We do not believethe circumstances presented constitute a breach of the agreement. If the dispute arises again, we plan to defend our position vigorously, but there can be noassurance as to the outcome of this dispute. A change in our tax residence could have a negative effect on our future profitability.Under current UK legislation, a company incorporated in England and Wales, or which is centrally managed and controlled in the UK, is regarded asresident in the UK for taxation purposes. Under current Irish legislation, a company is regarded as resident for tax purposes in Ireland if it is centrallymanaged and controlled in Ireland, or, in certain circumstances, if it is incorporated in Ireland. Where a company is treated as tax resident under the domesticlaws of both the UK and Ireland then the provisions of article 4(3) of the Double Tax Convention between the UK and Ireland provides that such enterpriseshall be treated as resident only in the jurisdiction in which its place of effective management is situated. We have sought to conduct our affairs in such a wayso as to be resident only in Ireland for tax purposes by virtue of having our place of effective management situated in Ireland. Trading income of an Irishcompany is generally taxable at the Irish corporation tax rate of 12.5%. Non-trading income of an Irish company (e.g., interest income, rental income or otherpassive income) is taxable at a rate of 25%.However, we cannot assure you that we are or will continue to be resident only in Ireland for tax purposes. It is possible that in the future, whether as aresult of a change in law or the practice of any relevant tax authority or as a result of any change in the conduct of our affairs, we could become, or beregarded as having become resident in a jurisdiction other than Ireland. Our and our subsidiaries’ income tax returns are periodically examined by various taxauthorities. We are currently undergoing federal and state tax audits, including audit by the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the years 2013to 2014. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain and could result in significant cash tax payments, we do not believe the outcome of theseaudits will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. The ultimate resolution may result in a payment thatis materially different from our current estimate of the tax liabilities. Should we cease to be an Irish tax resident, we may be subject to a charge to Irish capitalgains tax on our assets. Similarly, if the tax residency of any of our subsidiaries were to change45 from their current jurisdiction for any of the reasons listed above, we may be subject to a charge to local capital gains tax charge on the assets.The loss of key personnel could have an adverse effect on our business.We are highly dependent upon the efforts of our senior management. The loss of the services of one or more members of senior management couldhave a material adverse effect on us. As a small company with a streamlined management structure, the departure of any key person could have a significantimpact and would be potentially disruptive to our business until such time as a suitable replacement is hired. Furthermore, because of the specialized natureof our business, as our business plan progresses we will be highly dependent upon our ability to attract and retain qualified scientific, technical and keymanagement personnel. As we evolve from a development stage company to a commercial stage company we may experience turnover among members ofour senior management team. We may have difficulty identifying and integrating new executives to replace any such losses. There is intense competition forqualified personnel in the areas of our activities. In this environment, we may not be able to attract and retain the personnel necessary for the development ofour business, particularly if we do not achieve profitability. The failure to recruit key scientific, technical and management personnel would be detrimental toour ability to implement our business plan.We could be adversely affected by our exposure to customer concentration risk.A significant portion of our sales are to wholesalers in the pharmaceutical industry. Three customers individually accounted for 10% or more of ourgross product sales. Customers A, B, and C accounted for 33%, 28%, and 27%, respectively, of gross product sales for the year ended December 31, 2017 andrepresented 21%, 41%, and 27%, respectively, of the gross accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2017. Customers A, B, and C accounted for 37%,30%, and 28%, respectively, of gross product sales for the year ended December 31, 2016 and represented 33%, 16%, and 47%, respectively, of the grossaccounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2016. There can be no guarantee that we will be able to sustain our accounts receivable or gross sales levelsfrom our key customers. If, for any reason, we were to lose, or experience a decrease in the amount of business with our largest customers, whether directly orthrough our distributor relationships, our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively affected.Risks Related to our Financial Position and Capital RequirementsWe have a history of operating losses and anticipate that we will incur continued losses for an indefinite period of time.We have not yet reached profitability. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, we reported losses of approximately$67.9 million, $86.4 million, and $149.1 million, respectively, and we had an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2017 of $1.3 billion. Substantially allof our operating losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with our research and development programs, from general and administrative costsassociated with our operations, and costs related to the commercialization of Vascepa. Additionally, as a result of our significant expenses relating to researchand development and to commercialization, we expect to continue to incur significant operating losses for an indefinite period. Because of the numerousrisks and uncertainties associated with developing and commercializing pharmaceutical products, we are unable to predict the magnitude of these futurelosses. Our historic losses, combined with expected future losses, have had and will continue to have an adverse effect on our cash resources, shareholders’deficit and working capital.Although we began generating revenue from Vascepa in January 2013, we may never be profitable.Our ability to become profitable depends upon our ability to generate revenue. We have been generating product revenue from sales of Vascepa sinceJanuary 2013, but we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to attain profitability. Our ability to generate profits on sales of Vascepa is subject to themarket acceptance and commercial success of Vascepa and our ability to manufacture commercial quantities of Vascepa through third parties at acceptablecost levels, and may also depend upon our ability to effectively market and sell Vascepa through our strategic collaborations.Even though Vascepa has been approved by the FDA for marketing in the United States in the MARINE indication, it may not gain market acceptanceor achieve commercial success and it may never be approved for the ANCHOR indication or any other indication. In addition, we anticipate continuing toincur significant costs associated with commercializing Vascepa. We may not achieve profitability in the near term due to high costs associated with ourREDUCE-IT study and commercialization efforts, for example. If we are unable to continue to generate robust product revenues, we will not becomeprofitable in the near term, if ever, and may be unable to continue operations without continued funding.Our historical financial results do not form an accurate basis for assessing our current business.As a consequence of the many years developing Vascepa for commercialization and the commercial launch of Vascepa in 2013 in the United States,our historical financial results do not form an accurate basis upon which investors should base their assessment of our business and prospects. In addition, weexpect that our costs will increase substantially as we continue to commercialize Vascepa in the MARINE indication and with ANCHOR data and seek toobtain additional regulatory approval of Vascepa from continuation of46 the REDUCE-IT cardiovascular outcomes study. Accordingly, our historical financial results reflect a substantially different business from that currentlybeing conducted and from that expected in the future. In addition, we have a limited history of obtaining regulatory approval for, and no demonstratedability to successfully commercialize, a product candidate. Consequently, any predictions about our future performance may not be as accurate as they couldbe if we had a history of successfully developing and commercializing pharmaceutical products.Our operating results are unpredictable and may fluctuate. If our operating results are below the expectations of securities analysts or investors, thetrading price of our stock could decline.Our operating results are difficult to predict and will likely fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year, and Vascepa prescription figures willlikely fluctuate from month to month. Vascepa sales are difficult to predict from period to period and as a result, you should not rely on Vascepa sales resultsin any period as being indicative of future performance, and sales of Vascepa may be below the expectation of securities analysts or investors in the future.We believe that our quarterly and annual results of operations may be affected by a variety of factors, including: •the level of demand for Vascepa, due to changes in prescriber sentiment, quarterly changes in Distributor purchases, and other factors; •the extent to which coverage and reimbursement for Vascepa is available from government and health administration authorities, private healthinsurers, managed care programs and other third-party payers; •the timing, cost and level of investment in our sales and marketing efforts to support Vascepa sales and the resulting effectiveness of thoseefforts with our co-promotion partner, Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc.; •the timing and ability of commercialization partners outside the United States, to develop, register and commercialize Vascepa in the ChinaTerritory, several Middle Eastern and North African countries, and Canada, for example, including obtaining necessary regulatory approvalsand establishing marketing channels; •additional developments regarding our intellectual property portfolio and regulatory exclusivity protections, if any; •the timing and nature of results of the REDUCE-IT study or post-approval studies for Vascepa; •outcomes of litigation and other legal proceedings; and •our regulatory dialogue on the REDUCE-IT study.We may require substantial additional resources to fund our operations. If we cannot find additional capital resources, we will have difficulty inoperating as a going concern and growing our business.We currently operate with limited resources. In February 2018, we received approximately $65.0 million of net proceeds from a registered offering ofour ADSs. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents balance of $73.6 million as of December 31, 2017, together with the approximately $65.0 millionreceived in February 2018, will be sufficient to fund our projected operations through the results of the REDUCE-IT study, which we anticipate will beavailable before the end of the third quarter of 2018 and, assuming positive results of the REDUCE-IT study, through subsequent public presentation of suchresults at a medical congress before the end of 2018. Depending on the level of cash generated from operations, additional capital may be required to expandpromotion of Vascepa as contemplated following anticipated successful results of the REDUCE-IT study. If additional capital is required and we are unableto obtain additional capital, we may be forced to delay, limit or eliminate all or a portion of the expanded promotional activities planned followingsuccessful results of the REDUCE-IT study. We anticipate that quarterly net cash outflows in future periods will be variable.In order to fully realize the market potential of Vascepa, we may need to enter into a new strategic collaboration or raise additional capital. We mayalso need additional capital to fully complete our REDUCE-IT cardiovascular outcomes trial.Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including: •the timing, amount and consistency of revenue generated from the commercial sale of Vascepa; •the costs associated with commercializing Vascepa in the United States, including expenditures such as potential direct-to-consumeradvertising and increased sales force sizing, and for additional indications in the United States and in jurisdictions in which we receiveregulatory approval, if any, including the cost of sales and marketing capabilities with our co-promotion partner, Kowa PharmaceuticalsAmerica, Inc., and the cost and timing of securing commercial supply of Vascepa and the timing of entering into any new strategiccollaboration with others relating to the commercialization of Vascepa, if at all, and the terms of any such collaboration; •the continued cost associated with our REDUCE-IT cardiovascular outcomes study and subsequent publication of REDUCE-IT results;47 •continued costs associated with litigation and other legal proceedings; •the time and costs involved in obtaining additional regulatory approvals for Vascepa after REDUCE-IT results; •the extent to which we continue to develop internally, acquire or in-license new products, technologies or businesses; and •the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights.If we require additional funds and adequate funds are not available to us in amounts or on terms acceptable to us or on a timely basis, or at all, ourcommercialization efforts for Vascepa may suffer materially, and we may need to delay the advancement of the REDUCE-IT cardiovascular outcomes trial.The potential future benefit of our substantial net operating loss carryforwards could be lost and our prospects for profitability could be materiallydiminished if tax regulations or rates change or if we are deemed to not have active operations in Ireland.Tax law and policies in the United States and Ireland are subject to change based on adjustments in political perspectives. In the United States andinternationally, how to tax entities with international operations, like Amarin, has been subject to significant re-evaluation. We developed Vascepa in andfrom Ireland. In recent years, particularly since 2013 when commercial sale of Vascepa commenced in the United States, the majority of our consolidatedoperations have been in the United States. Ownership to Vascepa continues to reside with our wholly-owned Ireland-based subsidiary, AmarinPharmaceuticals Ireland Ltd., and oversight and operations of that entity are structured to be maintained in Ireland. In order to effectively utilize ouraccumulated net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes in Ireland, our operations, particularly for this subsidiary, need to be active in Ireland. Inaddition, utilization of these accumulated net operating loss carryforwards assumes that tax treaties between Ireland and other countries, particularly theUnited States, do not change in a manner which limit our future ability to offset earnings with these operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes.Similarly, a change in our Irish tax residence could materially affect our ability to obtain profitability, if at all. Changes in tax law and tax rates,particularly in the United States and Ireland, could also impact our assessment of deferred taxes. Any change in our assessment of the realizability or thetiming for realizing deferred taxes could have a negative impact our future profitability.Continued negative economic conditions would likely have a negative effect on our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms.While we may seek additional funding through public or private financings, we may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all.There can be no assurance that we will be able to access equity or credit markets in order to finance our current operations or expand development programsfor Vascepa, or that there will not be a further deterioration in financial markets and confidence in economies. We may also have to scale back or furtherrestructure our operations. If we are unable to obtain additional funding on a timely basis, we may be required to curtail or terminate some or all of ourresearch or development programs or our commercialization strategies.Raising additional capital may cause dilution to our existing shareholders, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish rights.To the extent we are permitted under our December 2012 Purchase and Sale Agreement with CPPIB Credit Europe S.à r.l., or CPPIB, as successor ininterest to BioPharma Secured Debt Fund II Holdings Cayman LP, we may seek additional capital through a combination of private and public equityofferings, debt financings and collaboration, strategic and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity orconvertible debt securities, your ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect yourrights as a shareholder.In January 2012, Corsicanto DAC (in liquidation) (formerly Corsicanto Limited), or Corsicanto, issued $150.0 million in aggregate principal amountof 3.5% exchangeable senior notes due 2032, or the 2012 Notes. In May 2014, we entered into separate, privately negotiated exchange agreements withcertain holders of the 2012 Notes pursuant to which Corsicanto exchanged $118.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the existing 2012 Notes for$118.7 million in aggregate principal amount of new 3.5% May 2014 exchangeable senior notes due 2032, or the 2014 Notes. In November 2015, we issued$31.3 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.5% exchangeable senior notes due 2032, or the 2015 Notes, and used $16.2 million of the proceeds to repaya portion of the 2012 Notes, such that $15.1 million of 2012 Notes remained outstanding. In September 2016, we mandatorily exchanged the entirety of the2014 Notes and 2015 Notes, in accordance with their respective terms, into 60,311,188 ADSs. In January 2017, approximately $15.0 million of the 2012Notes were put to us and, in March 2017, we redeemed the entirety of the remaining $0.1 million of outstanding principal amount of 2012 Notes plus accruedbut unpaid interest, such that no 2012 Notes remain outstanding. A liquidator was appointed to Corsicanto on September 7, 2017 pursuant to a resolution ofAmarin Corporation plc as sole shareholder.48 In January 2017, Corsicanto II DAC, or Corsicanto II, issued $30.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.5% exchangeable senior notes due2047, or the 2017 Notes. In the event of physical settlement, the 2017 Notes would be exchangeable into a total of 7,716,048 ADSs.Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions such asincurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through collaboration, strategic alliance andlicensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, Vascepa or product candidates beyond the rights wehave already relinquished, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.Potential business combinations or other strategic transactions may disrupt our business or divert management’s attention.On a regular basis, we explore potential business combination transactions, including an acquisition of us by a third party, exclusive licenses ofVascepa or other strategic transactions or collaborations with third parties. For example, in March 2014, we entered into a co-promotion agreement withKowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. related to the commercialization of Vascepa in the United States. The consummation and performance of any such futuretransactions or collaborations will involve risks, such as: •diversion of managerial resources from day-to-day operations; •exposure to litigation from the counterparties to any such transaction, other third parties or our shareholders; •misjudgment with respect to the value; •higher than expected transaction costs; or •an inability to successfully consummate any such transaction or collaboration.As a result of these risks, we may not be able to achieve the expected benefits of any such transaction or collaboration or deliver the value thereof toour shareholders. If we are unsuccessful in consummating any such transaction or collaboration, we may be required to reevaluate our business only after wehave incurred substantial expenses and devoted significant management time and resources.Risks Related to Ownership of our ADSs and Common SharesThe price of our ADSs and common shares may be volatile.The stock market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated to the operating performance ofparticular companies. In addition, the market prices of the securities of many pharmaceutical and medical technology companies have been especiallyvolatile in the past, and this trend is expected to continue in the future.As of February 23, 2018, we had 292,318,731 common shares outstanding including 291,318,286 shares held as ADSs and 1,000,445 held as ordinaryshares (which are not held in the form of ADSs). There is a risk that there may not be sufficient liquidity in the market to accommodate significant increases inselling activity or the sale of a large block of our securities. Our ADSs have historically had limited trading volume, which may also result in volatility. If anyof our large investors seek to sell substantial amounts of our ADSs, particularly if these sales are in a rapid or disorderly manner, or other investors perceivethat these sales could occur, the market price of our ADSs could decrease significantly.The market price of our ADSs and common shares may also be affected by factors such as: •developments or disputes concerning ongoing patent prosecution efforts and any future patent or proprietary rights; •litigation and regulatory developments in the United States affecting our Vascepa promotional rights, and regulatory developments in othercountries; •actual or potential medical results relating to our products or our competitors’ products; •interim failures or setbacks in product development; •innovation by us or our competitors; •currency exchange rate fluctuations; and •period-to-period variations in our results of operations.The number of our ordinary shares, or ADSs representing such ordinary shares, outstanding may increase substantially as a result of our March 2015private placement and the later consolidation and redesignation of the Series A Preference Shares represented by Preference ADSs issued thereunder,and some of the investors may then beneficially own significant blocks of49 our ordinary shares; the ordinary shares and Series A Preference Shares resulting from the private placement will be generally available for resale inthe public market upon registration under the Securities Act.In March and July 2015, we completed a private placement of American Depositary Shares in two tranches representing 352,150,790 and 38,867,180Series A Preference Shares, respectively, each ten (10) of which may be consolidated and redesignated into one (1) ordinary share in our capital. During thethree months ended June 30, 2015, 62,833,330 preferred shares were converted, resulting in the issuance of 6,283,333 ordinary shares. The consolidation andredesignation of the Series A Preference Shares currently outstanding would result in an additional 32,818,464 ordinary shares outstanding, resulting insubstantial dilution to shareholders who held our ordinary shares or ADSs representing such ordinary shares prior to the private placement. Although theSeries A Preference Shares do not have voting rights, in general, upon consolidation and redesignation into ordinary shares some of the investors in theprivate placement could then have significant influence over the outcome of any shareholder vote, including the election of directors and the approval ofmergers or other business combination transactions.Pursuant to the securities subscription agreements that we entered into with the investors in the private placement, we agreed to file with the SEC aregistration statement to register the resale of the Series A Preference Shares represented by American Depositary Shares issued in the private placement andthe ordinary shares issuable upon the consolidation and consolidation and redesignation of such Series A Preference Shares. Upon such registration andsubsequent consolidation and redesignation, these securities will become generally available for immediate resale in the public market. The market price ofour ordinary shares could fall as a result of an increase in the number of shares available for sale in the public market. Failure to comply with our obligations under the March 2015 securities subscription agreements could result in our becoming liable for damages tocertain investors under these agreements, including specified liquidated damages, which could be material in amount.Under the terms of the March 2015 securities subscription agreements, we are subject to various obligations, failure to comply with which could resultin our becoming liable to certain investors under these agreement for damages, which could be material in amount.For example, under each of these agreements we have agreed to file and maintain the effectiveness of certain resale registration statements for ADSsrepresenting the ordinary shares underlying the Series A Preference shares we issued and sold under these agreements. Specifically, we have agreed to payliquidated damages to the investors in the respective private placements if (a) the applicable resale registration statements we are required to file are notdeclared effective within 120 days after the closing of the applicable private placement, or (b) after effectiveness and subject to certain specified exceptions,we suspend the use of the applicable registration statement or the registration statement ceases to remain continuously effective as to all the securities forwhich it is required to be effective. We refer to each of these events as a registration default. Subject to the specified exceptions, for each 30-day period orportion thereof during which a registration default remains uncured, we are obligated to pay liquidated damages to each investor in cash in an amount equalto 1% of the aggregate subscription price paid by each such investor in the private placement, up to a maximum of 8% of such aggregate subscription price.These amounts could be material, and any liquidated damages we are required to pay could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.In addition, under the securities subscription agreement dated as of March 5, 2015, we are required to offer to certain investors party to that agreementan opportunity to participate in future equity and debt financings we may conduct from time to time, and to not publicly disclose the identity of the investorsparty to that agreement, subject to certain exceptions for disclosures required in securities filings and under applicable law. If we fail to comply with theseobligations we could become liable to these investors for damages, including specified liquidated damages. For example, following certain public statementsmade by us on a quarterly conference call concerning the 2015 private placement, we agreed to specified liquidated damages in the event we are found tohave violated the confidentiality provisions of the subscription agreement in the future.A share price of less than $1.00 may impact our NASDAQ listing.If our closing bid price is less than $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days, we would receive a NASDAQ staff deficiency letter indicating that we arenot in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing. Such a letter would trigger an automatic 180 calendar day period withinwhich the company could regain compliance. Compliance is regained at any time during this period if the Amarin closing bid price is $1.00 per share or morefor a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days. If we do not regain compliance during this period, our ADSs could be delisted from The NASDAQ GlobalMarket, transferred to a listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market, or delisted from the NASDAQ markets altogether. The failure to maintain our listing on TheNASDAQ Global Market could harm the liquidity of our ADSs and could have an adverse effect on the market price of our ADSs.50 Actual or potential sales of our common shares by our employees, including members of our senior management team, pursuant to pre-arranged stocktrading plans could cause our stock price to fall or prevent it from increasing for numerous reasons, and actual or potential sales by such persons couldbe viewed negatively by other investors.In accordance with the guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and our policies regarding stock transactions, anumber of our directors and employees, including members of our senior management team, have adopted and may continue to adopt pre-arranged stocktrading plans to sell a portion of our common stock. Generally, sales under such plans by members of our senior management team and directors requirepublic filings. Actual or potential sales of our ADSs by such persons could cause the price of our ADSs to fall or prevent it from increasing for numerousreasons. For example, a substantial amount of our ADSs becoming available (or being perceived to become available) for sale in the public market couldcause the market price of our ADSs to fall or prevent it from increasing. Also, actual or potential sales by such persons could be viewed negatively by otherinvestors.We may be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, which would result in adverse U.S. federal tax consequences to U.S. investors.Amarin Corporation plc and certain of our subsidiaries may be classified as “passive foreign investment companies,” or PFICs, for U.S. federal incometax purposes. The tests for determining PFIC status for a taxable year depend upon the relative values of certain categories of assets and the relative amountsof certain kinds of income. The application of these factors depends upon our financial results, which are beyond our ability to predict or control, and whichmay be subject to legal and factual uncertainties.We believe it is prudent to assume that we were classified as a PFIC in 2012. We do not believe that we were classified as a PFIC in 2013 through2017. Our status as a PFIC is subject to change in 2018 and future years.If we are a PFIC, U.S. holders of notes, ordinary shares or ADSs would be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences, such as ineligibilityfor any preferred tax rates on capital gains or on actual or deemed dividends, interest charges on certain taxes treated as deferred, and additional reportingrequirements under U.S. federal income tax laws and regulations. Whether or not U.S. holders of our ADSs make a timely “QEF election” or “mark-to-marketelection” may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. holders with respect to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Amarin ADSs andany distributions such U.S. holders may receive. A QEF election and other elections that may mitigate the effect of our being classified as a PFIC areunavailable with respect to the notes. Investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding all aspects of the application of the PFIC rules to the notes,ordinary shares and ADSs.Failure to meet our obligations under our December 2012 Purchase and Sale Agreement could adversely affect our financial results and liquidity.Pursuant to our December 2012 Purchase and Sale Agreement with CPPIB, which was assigned to CPPIB by BioPharma Secured Debt Fund IIHoldings Cayman LP in December 2017, we are obligated to make payments based on the amount of our net product sales of Vascepa and any futureproducts based on ethyl-EPA, or covered products, subject to certain quarterly caps.Pursuant to this agreement, we may not, among other things: (i) incur indebtedness greater than a specified amount, which we refer to as theIndebtedness Covenant; (ii) pay a dividend or other cash distribution, unless we have cash and cash equivalents in excess of a specified amount after suchpayment; (iii) amend or restate our memorandum and articles of association unless such amendments or restatements do not affect CPPIB’s interests under thetransaction; (iv) encumber any of the collateral securing our performance under the agreement; and (v) abandon certain patent rights, in each case without theconsent of CPPIB.Upon a transaction resulting in a change of control of Amarin, as defined in the agreement, CPPIB will be automatically entitled to receive anyamounts not previously paid, up to our maximum repayment obligation. As defined in the agreement, “change of control” includes, among other things, (i) agreater than 50 percent change in the ownership of Amarin, (ii) a sale or disposition of any collateral securing our debt with CPPIB and (iii), unless CPPIB hasbeen paid a certain amount under the indebtedness, certain licensings of Vascepa to a third party for sale in the United States. The acceleration of thepayment obligation in the event of a change of control transaction may make us less attractive to potential acquirers, and the payment of such funds out ofour available cash or acquisition proceeds would reduce acquisition proceeds for our shareholders. To secure our obligations under the agreement, we granted CPPIB a security interest in our rights in patents, trademarks, trade names, domain names,copyrights, know-how and regulatory approvals related to the covered products, all books and records relating to the foregoing and all proceeds of theforegoing, which we refer to as the collateral. If we (i) fail to deliver a payment when due and do not remedy that failure within specific notice period, (ii) failto maintain a first-priority perfected security interest in the collateral in the United States and do not remedy that failure after receiving notice of such failureor (iii) become subject to an event of bankruptcy, then CPPIB may attempt to collect the maximum amount payable by us under this agreement (afterdeducting any payments we have already made).51 There can be no assurance that we will not breach the covenants or other terms of, or that an event of default will not occur under, this agreement and,if a breach or event of default occurs, there can be no assurance that we will be able to cure the breach within the time permitted. Any failure to pay ourobligations when due, any breach or default of our covenants or other obligations, or any other event that causes an acceleration of payment at a time whenwe do not have sufficient resources to meet these obligations, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial conditionand future viability.Our existing indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition.Our existing indebtedness consists of $30.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.5% exchangeable senior notes due 2047, or the 2017 Notes.The 2017 Notes contain a provision for such notes to be put to us by the holders for repayment in cash on January 19, 2022.Our indebtedness and the related annual debt service requirements may adversely impact our business, operations and financial condition in thefuture. For example, they could: •increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; •limit our ability to raise additional funds by borrowing or engaging in equity sales in order to fund future working capital, capital expenditures,research and development and other general corporate requirements; •require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash to service payments on our debt or to restructure our debt; or •limit our flexibility to react to changes in our business and the industry in which we operate or to pursue certain strategic opportunities thatmay present themselves.The accounting for convertible debt securities that may be settled in cash, such as our 2017 Notes, could have a material effect on our reportedfinancial results.Under the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, we are required to separately account for the liability and equity components of theconvertible debt instruments that may be settled entirely or partially in cash upon conversion in a manner that reflects the issuer’s economic interest cost. Theeffect of ASC on the accounting for our outstanding convertible notes may be that the equity component is required to be included in the additional paid-incapital section of stockholders’ equity on our consolidated balance sheets and the value of the equity component would be treated as original issue discountfor purposes of accounting for the debt component of the notes. As a result, we are required to record non-cash interest expense as a result of the amortizationof the discounted carrying value of the notes to their face amount over the term of the notes. We may be required to report higher interest expense in ourfinancial results because ASC may require interest to include both the current period’s amortization of the debt discount and the instrument’s coupon interest,which could adversely affect our reported or future financial results and the trading price of our ADSs.Servicing our debt may require a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to provide the fundssufficient to pay our substantial debt.Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal, to pay interest on or to refinance our indebtedness, including the notes, depends on ourfuture performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. Our business may not continue to generatecash flow from operations in the future sufficient to service our debt and make necessary capital expenditures. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, wemay be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may beonerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may notbe able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations, includingthe notes, and have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our ADSs.We may be able to incur substantial additional debt in the future, subject to the restrictions contained in our future debt instruments, if any, whichwould intensify the risks discussed above.We do not intend to pay cash dividends on the ordinary shares in the foreseeable future.We have never paid dividends on ordinary shares and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on the ordinary shares in the foreseeable future.Under English law, any payment of dividends would be subject to relevant legislation and our Articles of Association, which requires that all dividends mustbe approved by our Board of Directors and, in some cases, our shareholders, and may only be paid from our distributable profits available for the purpose,determined on an unconsolidated basis.52 The rights of our shareholders may differ from the rights typically offered to shareholders of a U.S. corporation.We are incorporated under English law. The rights of holders of ordinary shares and, therefore, certain of the rights of holders of ADSs, are governed byEnglish law, including the provisions of the Companies Act 2006, and by our Articles of Association. These rights differ in certain respects from the rights ofshareholders in typical U.S. corporations. The principal differences include the following: •Under English law and our Articles of Association, each shareholder present at a meeting has only one vote unless demand is made for a voteon a poll, in which case each holder gets one vote per share owned. Under U.S. law, each shareholder typically is entitled to one vote per shareat all meetings. •Under English law, it is only on a poll that the number of shares determines the number of votes a holder may cast. You should be aware,however, that the voting rights of ADSs are also governed by the provisions of a deposit agreement with our depositary bank. •Under English law, subject to certain exceptions and disapplications, each shareholder generally has preemptive rights to subscribe on aproportionate basis to any issuance of ordinary shares or rights to subscribe for, or to convert securities into, ordinary shares for cash. Under U.S.law, shareholders generally do not have preemptive rights unless specifically granted in the certificate of incorporation or otherwise. •Under English law and our Articles of Association, certain matters require the approval of 75% of the shareholders who vote (in person or byproxy) on the relevant resolution (or on a poll of shareholders representing 75% of the ordinary shares voting (in person or by proxy)),including amendments to the Articles of Association. This may make it more difficult for us to complete corporate transactions deemedadvisable by our board of directors. Under U.S. law, generally only majority shareholder approval is required to amend the certificate ofincorporation or to approve other significant transactions. •In the United Kingdom, takeovers may be structured as takeover offers or as schemes of arrangement. Under English law, a bidder seeking toacquire us by means of a takeover offer would need to make an offer for all of our outstanding ordinary shares/ADSs. If acceptances are notreceived for 90% or more of the ordinary shares/ADSs under the offer, under English law, the bidder cannot complete a “squeeze out” to obtain100% control of us. Accordingly, acceptances of 90% of our outstanding ordinary shares/ADSs will likely be a condition in any takeover offerto acquire us, not 50% as is more common in tender offers for corporations organized under Delaware law. By contrast, a scheme ofarrangement, the successful completion of which would result in a bidder obtaining 100% control of us, requires the approval of a majority ofshareholders voting at the meeting and representing 75% of the ordinary shares voting for approval. •Under English law and our Articles of Association, shareholders and other persons whom we know or have reasonable cause to believe are, orhave been, interested in our shares may be required to disclose information regarding their interests in our shares upon our request, and thefailure to provide the required information could result in the loss or restriction of rights attaching to the shares, including prohibitions oncertain transfers of the shares, withholding of dividends and loss of voting rights. Comparable provisions generally do not exist under U.S. law. •The quorum requirement for a shareholders’ meeting is a minimum of two shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting and present in person orby proxy or, in the case of a shareholder which is a corporation, represented by a duly authorized officer. Under U.S. law, a majority of theshares eligible to vote must generally be present (in person or by proxy) at a shareholders’ meeting in order to constitute a quorum. Theminimum number of shares required for a quorum can be reduced pursuant to a provision in a company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws,but typically not below one-third of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting.U.S. shareholders may not be able to enforce civil liabilities against us.We are incorporated under the laws of England and Wales, and our subsidiaries are incorporated in various jurisdictions, including foreignjurisdictions. A number of the officers and directors of each of our subsidiaries are non-residents of the United States, and all or a substantial portion of theassets of such persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to affect service of process within the UnitedStates upon such persons or to enforce against them judgments obtained in U.S. courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securitieslaws of the United States. We have been advised by our English solicitors that there is doubt as to the enforceability in England in original actions, or inactions for enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts, of civil liabilities to the extent predicated upon the federal securities laws of the United States.U.S. holders of the ADSs or ordinary shares may be subject to U.S. federal income taxation at ordinary income tax rates on undistributed earnings andprofits.There is a risk that we will be classified as a controlled foreign corporation, or CFC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If we are classified as a CFC,any ADS holder or shareholder that is a U.S. person that owns directly, indirectly or by attribution, 10% or53 more of the voting power of our outstanding shares may be subject to U.S. income taxation at ordinary income tax rates on all or a portion of ourundistributed earnings and profits attributable to “subpart F income.” Such 10% holder may also be taxable at ordinary income tax rates on any gain realizedon a sale of ordinary shares or ADS, to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits attributable to such shares. The CFC rules are complexand U.S. holders of the ordinary shares or ADSs are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of the CFC rules to them intheir particular circumstances.The effect of comprehensive U.S. tax reform legislation on Amarin is uncertain.On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted H.R. 1, “An Act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to titles II and V of the concurrentresolution on the budget for fiscal year 2018” (informally titled the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”). Among a number of significant changes to the U.S. federalincome tax rules, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act reduces the marginal U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, limits the deduction for net interestexpense, shifts the United States toward a more territorial tax system, and imposes new taxes to combat erosion of the U.S. federal income tax base, such as aone-time tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred and a new minimum tax on foreign earnings. While we recognized aprovisional expense during the year ended December 31, 2017 based on what we believe is a reasonable estimate of the income tax effects of the Act, thisexpense could change materially as we refine our analysis. Other effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on our company, whether adverse or favorable, are alsouncertain, and may not become evident for some period of time, but could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position or results fromoperations.Item 1B.Unresolved Staff CommentsNone.Item 2.PropertiesThe following table lists the location, use and ownership interest of our principal properties as of February 23, 2018: Location Use Ownership Size (sq. ft.) Dublin, Ireland Offices Leased 270 Bedminster, New Jersey, USA Offices Leased 21,963 Effective November 1, 2011, we leased 320 square feet of office space in Dublin, Ireland. The office space was subsequently reduced to 270 squarefeet, effective November 1, 2013. The lease terminates on October 31, 2018 and may be renewed annually.Effective July 1, 2011, we leased 9,747 square feet of office space in Bedminster, New Jersey. The lease, as amended, terminates on April 30, 2019, andmay also be terminated with six months prior notice. On December 6, 2011 we leased an additional 2,142 square feet of space in the same location. OnDecember 15, 2012 and May 8, 2013, we leased an additional 2,601 and 10,883 square feet of space, respectively, in the same location. In January 2014 andApril 2014, we entered into separate transactions with the landlord of this property to vacate approximately 2,142 and 2,000 square feet of space in exchangefor discounts on contractual future rent payments. In January 2015, we signed an agreement to sublease approximately 4,700 square feet of this property to athird party, effective April 1, 2015. This sublease agreement has been terminated as of September 30, 2017. Additionally, in June 2015, we executed anagreement to sublease approximately 2,500 square feet of this property to a separate third party, effective June 16, 2015. On December 15, 2016, we leased anadditional 732 square feet of space in the same location, effective January 1, 2017.We believe our existing facilities are adequate for our current needs and that additional space will be available in the future on commerciallyreasonable terms as needed.Item 3.Legal ProceedingsOn August 30, 2017, Amarin Pharma, Inc. and Amarin Pharmaceuticals Ireland Limited, each wholly-owned subsidiaries of Amarin Corporation plc,filed a lawsuit with the United States International Trade Commission, or the ITC, captioned In the Matter of Certain Synthetically Produced, PredominantlyEPA Omega-3 Products in Ethyl Ester or Re-esterified Triglyceride Form, USITC Docket 337-3247, against manufacturers, importers, and distributors ofproducts containing synthetically produced omega-3 products in ethyl ester or re-esterified triglyceride form that contain more EPA than DHA or any othersingle component for use in or as dietary supplements. The lawsuit sought an investigation by the ITC under Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C.§1337), which makes unlawful unfair methods of competition and unfair acts involving the importation and sale of articles in the United States that injure orthreaten injury to a domestic industry. On October 27, 2017, the ITC determined to not institute our requested investigation. On December 1, 2017, weappealed the ITC’s non-institution decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (Case Nos. 18-1247, 18-114). That appeal isongoing. We intend to pursue this matter vigorously.54 In September and October 2016, we received paragraph IV certification notices from four companies contending to varying degrees that certain of ourpatents are invalid, unenforceable and/or will not be infringed by the manufacture, use, sale or offer for sale of a generic form of Vascepa as described in thosecompanies’ abbreviated new drug applications, or ANDAs. We filed patent infringement lawsuits against three of these four ANDA applicants. In October2016, Amarin filed a lawsuit against Roxane Laboratories, Inc. and related parties (collectively, “Roxane”) in the U.S. District Court for the District ofNevada. The case against Roxane is captioned Amarin Pharma, Inc. et al. v. Roxane Laboratories, Inc. et al., Civ. A. No. 2:16-cv-02525 (D. Nev.). Accordingto a stipulation filed with the Nevada court, in December 2016, Roxane transferred its ANDA to West-Ward Pharmaceuticals International Limited, whichthen designated West-Ward Pharmaceuticals Corp. (or together with West-Ward Pharmaceuticals International Limited, West-Ward) as its agent for FDAcommunications. In view of the ANDA transfer, in February 2017, West-Ward replaced Roxane and related parties as Defendants in the above-referenced case.The case against West-Ward is now captioned Amarin Pharma, Inc. et al. v. West-Ward Pharmaceuticals Corp. et al., Civ. A. No. 2:16-cv-02525 (D. Nev.). InNovember 2016, Amarin filed a lawsuit against Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Ltd. (collectively, “DRL”) in the U.S. DistrictCourt for the District of Nevada. The case against DRL is captioned Amarin Pharma, Inc. et al. v. Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. et al., Civ. A. No. 2:16-cv-02562 (D. Nev.). In November 2016, Amarin filed a lawsuit against Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. and Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Limited(collectively, “Teva”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada. The case against Teva is captioned Amarin Pharma, Inc. et al. v. TevaPharmaceuticals USA, Inc. et al., Civ. A. No. 2:16-cv-02658. In all three lawsuits, Amarin is seeking, among other remedies, an order enjoining eachdefendant from marketing generic versions of Vascepa before the last to expire of the asserted patents in 2030. The three lawsuits have been consolidated forpretrial proceedings. As a result of the statutory stay associated with the filing of these lawsuits under the Hatch-Waxman Act, the FDA cannot grant finalapproval to West-Ward, DRL, or Teva’s respective ANDA before January 2020, unless there is an earlier court decision holding that the subject patents arenot infringed and/or are invalid.The fourth ANDA applicant referenced above is Apotex Inc. (“Apotex”), which sent Amarin a paragraph IV certification notice in September 2016.The notice reflected that Apotex made a paragraph IV notice as to some, but not all, of the patents listed in the Orange Book for Vascepa. Because Apotex didnot make a paragraph IV certification as to all listed patents, Apotex cannot market a generic version of Vascepa before the last to expire of the patents forwhich Apotex did not make a paragraph IV certification, which is in 2030. At a later date, Apotex may elect to amend its ANDA in order to make a paragraphIV certification as to additional listed patents. If and when Apotex does make such an amendment, it would be required to send Amarin an additionalparagraph IV certification notice, and Amarin would then have the ability to file a lawsuit against Apotex pursuant to the Hatch-Waxman Act.We introduced to the market our 0.5-gram dose strength of Vascepa in October 2016. In August 2017, as anticipated, we received a paragraph IVcertification notice from Teva contending that certain of our patents are invalid, unenforceable and/or will not be infringed by the manufacture, use, sale oroffer for sale of a generic form of the 0.5-gram dose strength of Vascepa, as described in the Teva abbreviated new drug application, or ANDA. This TevaANDA was filed as an amendment to the 1-gram Teva ANDA and is related to patents already at issue in the 1-gram Vascepa patent litigation. Accordingly, inOctober 2017, we filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Teva in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada. The case is captioned Amarin Pharma,Inc. et al. v. Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. et al., Civ. A. No. 2:17-cv-2641 (D. Nev.). In this lawsuit, we are seeking, among other remedies, an orderenjoining Teva from marketing generic versions of the 0.5-gram dose strength of Vascepa before the last to expire of the asserted patents in 2030. This newlawsuit against Teva has been consolidated with the pending lawsuits against Teva, West-Ward, and DRL referenced above based on the 1-gram dosestrength of Vascepa, and all four lawsuits will proceed on the same schedule.On April 26, 2016, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey granted our motion to dismiss the putative consolidated class action lawsuitcaptioned In re Amarin Corporation plc, Securities Litigation, No. 3:13-cv-06663 (D.N.J. Nov. 1, 2013). The class action was dismissed without prejudicewith leave for plaintiffs to file an amended complaint. The lawsuit sought unspecified monetary damages and attorneys’ fees and costs alleging that we andcertain of our current and former officers and directors made misstatements and omissions regarding the FDA’s willingness to approve Vascepa’s ANCHORindication and related contributing factors and the potential relevance of data from the ongoing REDUCE-IT trial to that potential approval. The April 2016dismissal was the second motion to dismiss granted in favor of Amarin and related defendants in this litigation. The first motion to dismiss in this litigationwas granted in June 2015 in response to the original complaint and related amendment. On May 26, 2016, plaintiffs appealed the most recent dismissal to theThird Circuit Court of Appeals. On May 23, 2017, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment of the U.S. District Court for the District of NewJersey that granted our motion to dismiss the putative consolidated class action lawsuit (Case No. 16-2640). Plaintiffs sought a rehearing and en banc reviewof such affirmation, each of which were denied. The appeal period for this matter has expired. We consider this matter closed.We intend to vigorously enforce our intellectual property rights relating to Vascepa, but we cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits or anysubsequently filed lawsuits.In addition to the above, in the ordinary course of business, we are from time to time involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations, proceedings, andthreats of litigation relating to intellectual property, commercial arrangements and other matters.55 Item 4.Mine Safety DisclosuresNot applicable.56 PART IIItem 5.Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity SecuritiesMarket InformationThe following table sets forth the high and low prices for our ADSs in each of the quarters over the past two fiscal years, as quoted on The NASDAQGlobal Market. Common Stock Price Fiscal 2017 Fiscal 2016 High Low High Low First Quarter $3.58 $2.81 $1.88 $1.24 Second Quarter $4.10 $2.85 $2.35 $1.45 Third Quarter $4.47 $2.97 $3.46 $2.11 Fourth Quarter $4.24 $3.04 $3.65 $2.75ShareholdersAs of January 31, 2018, there were approximately 375 holders of record of our ordinary shares. Because many ordinary shares are held by brokernominees, we are unable to estimate the total number of shareholders represented by these record holders. Our depositary, Citibank, N.A., constitutes a singlerecord holder of our ordinary shares.DividendsWe have never paid dividends on common shares and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on the common shares in the foreseeable future.Under English law, any payment of dividends would be subject to relevant legislation and our Articles of Association, which requires that all dividends mustbe approved by our Board of Directors and, in some cases, our stockholders, and may only be paid from our distributable profits available for the purpose,determined on an unconsolidated basis.Under our Purchase and Sale Agreement with CPPIB Credit Europe S.à r.l., or CPPIB, as successor in interest to BioPharma Secured Debt Fund IIHoldings Cayman LP, we are restricted from paying a dividend on our common shares, unless we have cash and cash equivalents in excess of a specifiedamount after such payment.Performance Graph—5 YearThe following performance graph and related information shall not be deemed “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the Securities andExchange Commission, nor shall such information be incorporated by reference into any future filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or SecuritiesExchange Act of 1934, each as amended, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate it by reference into such filing.The following graph compares the cumulative 5-year return provided to stockholders of Amarin’s ADSs relative to the cumulative total returns of theNASDAQ Composite Index and the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index. We believe these indices are the most appropriate indices against which the totalshareholder return of Amarin should be measured. The NASDAQ Biotechnology Index has been selected because it is an index of U.S. quoted biotechnologyand pharmaceutical companies. An investment of $100 (with reinvestment of all dividends) is assumed to have been made in our ADSs and in each of theindices on January 1, 2013 and its relative performance is tracked through December 31, 2017.57 Included in this 5-year time period is the substantial negative impact on the price of Amarin’s ADSs in 2013 when the FDA notified us that itrescinded the ANCHOR study SPA agreement because the FDA determined that a substantial scientific issue essential to determining the effectiveness ofVascepa in the studied population was identified after testing began in the ANCHOR trial. The FDA expressed that this scientific issue arose based on datafrom the study of other drugs by other companies related to lipid modification. This FDA notification was followed in 2013 by a reduction in force by Amarinand retargeting of the commercial targets for promotion of Vascepa. More recently, over the 3-year time period through December 31, 2017, cumulative totalreturn for Amarin’s ADSs exceeded both the NASDAQ Composite Index and NASDAQ Biotechnology Index. In particular, the total return for Amarin’s ADSswell exceeded the cumulative returns for the NASDAQ Composite Index and NASDAQ Biotechnology Index in each of the past two calendar years.

Where these conditions are not met, the transfer of, or agreement totransfer, an ADS could, depending on the circumstances, attract a charge to ad valorem stamp duty at the rate of 0.5% of the value of the consideration.No stamp duty reserve tax will be payable in respect of an agreement to transfer an ADS, whether made in or outside the UK.Issuance and Transfer of Common SharesThe issuance of common shares by Amarin will not give rise to a charge to UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax under current UK and EuropeanUnion law; it is not currently known whether this position will continue for UK stamp duty reserve tax in relation to the issuance of common shares in returnfor an issuance of ADSs after the United Kingdom leaves the European Union. In the event of a change in this position resulting in the issuance of commonshares by Amarin giving rise to a charge to UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax, Amarin would be responsible for any such UK stamp duty reserve taxpayable on the issuance of common shares in return for the issuance of ADSs.Transfers of common shares, as opposed to ADSs, will attract ad valorem stamp duty at the rate of 0.5% of the amount or value of the consideration. Acharge to stamp duty reserve tax, at the rate of 0.5% of the amount or value of the consideration, will arise on an agreement to transfer common shares. Thestamp duty reserve tax is payable on the seventh day of the month following the month in which the charge arises. Where an instrument of transfer isexecuted and duly stamped before the expiry of a period of six years beginning with the date of that agreement, any stamp duty reserve tax that has not beenpaid ceases to be payable.Taxation of DividendsUnder UK law, there is no withholding tax on dividends paid on the common shares or ADSs.60 Item 6.Selected Financial DataThe selected financial data set forth below as of and for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, and 2013 have been derived from theaudited consolidated financial statements of Amarin.

These forward-looking statements are based onour current expectations and assumptions and many factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements. You should review carefully the factors identified in this report in Item 1A, “Risk Factors”. We disclaim any intent to update orannounce revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect actual events or developments, except as required by law. Except as otherwise indicatedherein, all dates referred to in this report represent periods or dates fixed with reference to our fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.OverviewWe are a biopharmaceutical company with expertise in lipid science focused on the commercialization and development of therapeutics to improvecardiovascular health. Our lead product, Vascepa® (icosapent ethyl) capsules, is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for use as an adjunct to diet toreduce triglyceride levels in adult patients with severe (TG ≥500 mg/dL) hypertriglyceridemia. This FDA-approved indication for Vascepa, known as theMARINE indication, is based primarily on the successful results from the MARINE study of Vascepa in this approved patient population. In considering thisapproval, FDA also reviewed the successful results from our study of Vascepa in patients with high triglyceride levels (TG ≥200 mg/dL and <500 mg/dL) whoare also on statin therapy for elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or LDL-C, levels which condition we refer to as mixed dyslipidemia or persistentlyhigh triglycerides. This study is known as the ANCHOR study. Safety data from both the MARINE and ANCHOR studies are reflected in FDA-approvedlabeling for Vascepa. In January 2013, we began selling and marketing Vascepa in the United States based on the FDA-approved MARINE indication. InAugust 2015, we began communicating promotional information beyond the MARINE indication to healthcare professionals in the United States based onthe federal court declaration described below. In March 2016, we reached agreement with the FDA and U.S. government under which they agreed to be boundby the terms of the August 2015 judicial declaration. Vascepa is available in the United States by prescription only.We sell Vascepa principally to a limited number of major wholesalers, as well as selected regional wholesalers and specialty pharmacy providers, orcollectively, our Distributors or our customers, that in turn resell Vascepa to retail pharmacies for subsequent resale to patients and healthcare providers. Wemarket Vascepa in the United States through our direct sales force. In March 2014, we entered into a co-promotion agreement in the United States with KowaPharmaceuticals America, Inc. under which Kowa62 Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. began to co-promote Vascepa in conjunction with its promotion of its primary product, a branded statin for patients with highcholesterol, which commenced in May 2014 and is scheduled to end at the end of 2018. Our direct sales force has, for the past few years through late 2017,consisted of approximately 150 sales professionals, including sales representatives and their managers. During the fourth quarter of 2017, we addedapproximately 15 sales representatives, bringing our direct sales force in the United States to approximately 165 sales professionals. We anticipate increasingour direct sales force to approximately 400 to 500 sales professionals after REDUCE-IT results, assuming success. We also intend to expand medicaleducation and market awareness initiatives, including, in advance of REDUCE-IT results being known, pilot testing of new promotional initiatives forpotential broader applications following REDUCE-IT results.In February 2015, we entered into an exclusive agreement with Eddingpharm (Asia) Macao Commercial Offshore Limited, or Eddingpharm, todevelop and commercialize Vascepa capsules in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, or the China Territory. In March 2016, we entered into anagreement with Biologix FZCo, or Biologix, to register and commercialize Vascepa in countries within the Middle East and North Africa. In September 2017,we entered into an agreement with HLS Therapeutics Inc., or HLS, to register, commercialize and distribute Vascepa in Canada. We continue to assess otherpartnership opportunities for licensing Vascepa to partners outside of the United States.Triglycerides are the main constituent of body fat in humans. Hypertriglyceridemia refers to a condition in which patients have high levels oftriglycerides in the bloodstream. It is estimated that over 70 million adults in the United States have elevated triglyceride levels (TG ≥150 mg/dL),approximately 40 million adults in the United States have high triglyceride levels (TG ≥200 mg/dL), and approximately 3 to 4 million adults in the UnitedStates have severely high triglyceride levels (TG ≥500 mg/dL), commonly known as very high triglyceride levels. Many patients with high triglyceride levelsalso have diabetes and other lipid level abnormalities such as high cholesterol. The patient condition of having more than one lipid level abnormality isreferred to as mixed dyslipidemia. According to The American Heart Association Scientific Statement on Triglycerides and Cardiovascular Disease (2011),triglycerides provide important information as a marker associated with the risk for heart disease and stroke, especially when an individual also has low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or HDL-C (often referred to as “good” cholesterol), and elevated levels of LDL-C (often referred to as “bad” cholesterol).Guidelines for the management of very high triglyceride levels suggest that reducing triglyceride levels is the primary goal in patients to reduce the risk ofacute pancreatitis. The effect of Vascepa on cardiovascular mortality and morbidity, or the risk for pancreatitis, in patients with hypertriglyceridemia has notbeen determined.We are currently focused on completing the ongoing REDUCE-IT (Reduction of Cardiovascular Events with EPA—Intervention Trial) cardiovascularoutcomes study of Vascepa, which we started in December 2011. REDUCE-IT, a multinational, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlledstudy, is the first prospective cardiovascular outcomes study of any drug in a population of patients who, despite stable statin therapy, have elevatedtriglyceride levels. Based on the results of REDUCE-IT, we plan to seek additional indicated uses for Vascepa. In REDUCE-IT, cardiovascular event rates forpatients on stable statin therapy plus 4 grams per day of Vascepa will be compared to cardiovascular event rates for patients on stable statin therapy plusplacebo.In 2016, we completed patient enrollment and randomization of 8,175 individual patients into the REDUCE-IT study, exceeding the 8,000 patientstargeted for the trial. The REDUCE-IT study is designed to be completed after reaching 1,612 aggregate primary cardiovascular events. Based on projectedevent rates, we estimate the onset of the target aggregate number of primary cardiovascular events to be reached near the end of the first quarter of 2018 withstudy results then expected to be available and made public before the end of the third quarter of 2018, followed by publication of the results. Betweenreaching the estimated onset of the target 1,612 aggregate primary cardiovascular events and study data being unblinded and disclosed, vital data will becollected from all remaining living patients in the study and data in the study will be rolled-up for evaluation by the independent data monitoringcommittee, or DMC, and creation of a final study report. We have instructed clinical sites to schedule patients enrolled in the study for their final site visitscommencing March 1, 2018.The REDUCE-IT study, since its inception in 2011, has been conducted under a special protocol assessment, or SPA, agreement with the FDA. ThisSPA, as amended, provides for periodic safety reviews by the study’s DMC. In addition, the SPA, as amended, provided for interim efficacy and safetyanalyses by the study’s DMC at approximately 60% and at approximately 80% of the target aggregate number of primary cardiovascular events. The periodicsafety reviews and interim efficacy and safety analyses were conducted confidentially by the study’s DMC. We remain blinded to all data from the study.Until the study is completed or the study is halted due to a patient safety concern (not expected), Amarin personnel will remain blinded to the efficacy andsafety data from the REDUCE-IT study. Since patient enrollment commenced in 2011, over 33,000 patient years of study experience have been accumulatedin the REDUCE-IT study. Following each periodic review of safety data to date, which have occurred quarterly since 2013, and following each of two interimefficacy and safety analyses, the DMC has communicated to us that we should continue the study as planned. The p-value used to assess the primaryendpoint in REDUCE-IT at completion, assuming 1,612 aggregate primary cardiovascular events, is p<0.0436. In January 2018, we announced that morethan 90% of the 1,612 targeted aggregate number of primary cardiovascular events have been reported and documented.63 Our scientific rationale for the REDUCE-IT study is supported by (i) epidemiological data that suggests elevated triglyceride levels correlate withincreased cardiovascular disease risk, (ii) genetic data that suggests triglyceride and/or triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (as well as low-density lipoproteincholesterol (LDL cholesterol), known as bad cholesterol) are independently in the causal pathway for cardiovascular disease and (iii) clinical data thatsuggest substantial triglyceride reduction in patients with elevated baseline triglyceride levels correlates with reduced cardiovascular risk. Our scientificrationale for the REDUCE-IT study is also supported by research on the putative cardioprotective effects of EPA as presented in scientific literature. It ispossible that the effects of EPA may be due not to a single mode of action, such as triglyceride lowering, but rather to multiple mechanisms working together.Studies in the scientific literature explore potentially beneficial effects of EPA on multiple atherosclerosis processes, including endothelial function,oxidative stress, foam cell formation, inflammation/cytokines, plaque formation/progression, platelet aggregation, thrombus formation, and plaque rupture.The REDUCE-IT study is needed to determine the clinical benefit, if any, of EPA therapy in statin-treated patients with elevated triglyceride levels.In the successful Phase 3 MARINE and ANCHOR clinical trials, Vascepa was studied at a daily dose of 2 grams and 4 grams. We sought approval ofVascepa at the more efficacious 4-gram dose for use in each patient population. These trials demonstrated favorable results in their respective patientpopulations, particularly with the 4-gram dose of Vascepa, in reducing triglyceride levels without increasing LDL-C levels in the MARINE trial and with astatistically significant decrease in LDL-C levels in the ANCHOR trial, in each case, relative to placebo. These trials also showed favorable results,particularly with the 4-gram dose of Vascepa, in other important lipid and inflammation biomarkers, including apolipoprotein B (apo B), non-high-densitylipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), total-cholesterol (TC), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2), and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). In these trials, the most commonly reported adverse reaction (incidence >2% and greater thanplacebo) in Vascepa-treated patients was arthralgia (joint pain) (2.3% for Vascepa vs. 1.0% for placebo). In April 2015, we received a Complete Response Letter, or CRL, from the FDA in response to our supplemental new drug application, or sNDA, thatsought approval of Vascepa for use in patients with mixed dyslipidemia, based on the successful ANCHOR study. The CRL followed an October 2013rescission by the FDA of a special protocol assessment, or SPA, agreement and three failed attempts by us to appeal that rescission at FDA. The FDA hasacknowledged the success of the ANCHOR study, which met all primary and secondary endpoints. However, FDA determined that there were insufficient datato conclude that drug-induced changes in serum triglycerides could be recognized by the FDA as a valid surrogate for reducing cardiovascular risk in theANCHOR population for the purpose of regulatory approval of a drug targeted at a triglyceride-lowering indication in this population. The FDA hasacknowledged that the standard of proof required by the FDA for approval of a new drug indication is higher than that generally used to inform patienttreatment guidelines and that used by physicians in clinical practice. The FDA did not determine that the drug-induced effects of Vascepa, which go beyondtriglyceride-lowering, would not actually reduce cardiovascular risk in this population and the FDA has encouraged us to complete the REDUCE-IToutcomes study. Based on our communications with the FDA, we expect that final positive results from the REDUCE-IT outcomes study will be required forlabel expansion for Vascepa.In May 2015, we and a group of independent physicians filed a lawsuit in federal court to permit us to promote to healthcare professionals the use ofVascepa in patients with mixed dyslipidemia so long as the promotion is truthful and non-misleading. This use reflects recognized medical practice but is notcovered by current FDA-approved labeling for the drug. Historically, FDA has considered promotion of drug uses not covered by FDA-approved labeling tobe illegal off-label promotion, even if such promotion is truthful and non-misleading. In August 2015, we were granted preliminary relief in the form of adeclaratory judgment in this lawsuit. The court declaration permits us to promote to healthcare professionals the FDA-reviewed and agreed effects of Vascepademonstrated in the ANCHOR clinical trial and presentation of the current state of scientific research related to the potential of Vascepa to reduce the risk ofcardiovascular disease including through use of peer-reviewed scientific publications of available data. In August 2015, we began to communicatepromotional information beyond the MARINE indication to healthcare professionals in the United States as permitted by this court declaration and in March2016, the parties obtained court approval of negotiated settlement terms under which the FDA and the U.S. government agreed to be bound by the court’sconclusions from the August 2015 declaration that we may engage in truthful and non-misleading speech promoting the off-label use of Vascepa and thatcertain statements and disclosures that we proposed to make to healthcare professionals were truthful and non-misleading. While we believe we are nowpermitted under applicable law to more broadly promote Vascepa, the FDA-approved labeling for Vascepa did not change as a result of this litigation andsettlement, and neither government nor other third-party coverage or reimbursement to pay for the off-label use of Vascepa promoted under the courtdeclaration was required.Commercialization—United StatesWe commenced the commercial launch of 1-gram size Vascepa capsules in the United States in January 2013. We commenced sales and shipments ofVascepa at that time to our network of U.S.-based wholesalers. We currently market Vascepa in the United States through our direct sales force ofapproximately 165 sales professionals, including sales representatives and their managers. We anticipate increasing our sales force to a total of approximately400 to 500 sales professionals after REDUCE-IT results, assuming success. Commencing in May 2014, in addition to Vascepa promotion by our salesrepresentatives, Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. began co-promoting Vascepa in conjunction with its promotion of its primary product, a branded statinfor patients with high64 cholesterol. We also employ various medical affairs and marketing personnel to support our commercialization of Vascepa. We intend to expand medicaleducation and market awareness initiatives, including, in advance of REDUCE-IT results being known, pilot testing of new promotional initiatives forpotential broader applications following REDUCE-IT results.In October 2016, in addition to the original 1-gram capsule size for Vascepa, we introduced a smaller 0.5-gram capsule size, the first and only 0.5-gramprescription omega-3 alternative available on the market, for the subset of patients who prefer a smaller capsule. The FDA-approved dosing for Vascepacontinues to be 4 grams per day and, as expected, the majority of new and existing patients taking Vascepa continue to be prescribed the 1-gram size Vascepacapsule.Under our co-promotion agreement with Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc., both parties have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts topromote, detail and optimize sales of Vascepa in the United States and have agreed to specific performance requirements detailed in the related agreement.The performance requirements include a negotiated minimum number of sales details to be delivered by each party in the first and second position, the use ofa negotiated number of minimum sales representatives from each party, and the achievement of minimum levels of Vascepa revenue in 2015 and beyond.First position refers to when a sales representative’s primary purpose in detailing is related to Vascepa, while second position refers to when a salesrepresentative’s primary purpose in detailing is to promote another product, but they also devote time in the same sales call to promote Vascepa. KowaPharmaceuticals America, Inc. has also agreed to bear the costs incurred for its sales force associated with the commercialization of Vascepa and to pay forcertain incremental costs associated with the use of its sales force, such as sample costs and costs for promotional and marketing materials. We will continueto recognize all revenue from sales of Vascepa. In exchange for Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc.’s co-promotional services, Kowa PharmaceuticalsAmerica, Inc. is entitled to a quarterly co-promotion fee based on a percentage of aggregate Vascepa gross margin that varies during the term. The percentageof aggregate Vascepa gross margin earned by Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. was, as amended, approximately eighteen percent (18%) in 2017, partiallyoffset by certain other refinements. During 2018, which is the last year of the agreement, as amended, we anticipate incurring expense for both the annual co-promotion fee, which in 2018 will again be calculated as a percentage of Vascepa gross margin at a modestly higher rate than in 2017, plus accrual for co-promotion tail payments. Assuming Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. fulfills its obligations in accordance with the terms of the agreement, as amended,after expiration of the agreement, Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. is eligible to receive up to three years of co-promotion tail payments equal todeclining percentages of the co-promotion fee amount earned in the final year of the agreement with the sum of the three years of co-promotion tail paymentstotaling less than the co-promotion fee amount earned in the final year of the agreement.Based on monthly compilations of data provided by a third party, Symphony Health, the estimated number of normalized total Vascepa prescriptionsfor the three months ended December 31, 2017 was approximately 394,000 compared to 374,000, 344,000, 305,000, and 286,000 in the three months endedSeptember 30, 2017, June 30, 2017, March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, respectively. According to data from another third party, IQVIA (formerlyQuintilesIMS), the estimated number of normalized total Vascepa prescriptions for the three months ended December 31, 2017 was approximately 406,000compared to 372,000, 344,000, 307,000, and 289,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2017, June 30, 2017, March 31, 2017, and December 31,2016, respectively. Normalized total prescriptions represent the estimated total number of Vascepa prescriptions dispensed to patients, calculated on anormalized basis (i.e., one month’s supply, or total capsules dispensed multiplied by the number of grams per capsule divided by 120 grams). Inventorylevels at wholesalers tend to fluctuate based on seasonal factors, prescription trends and other factors.The data reported above is based on information made available to us from third-party resources and may be subject to adjustment and may overstateor understate actual prescriptions. Timing of shipments to wholesalers, as used for revenue recognition purposes, and timing of prescriptions as estimated bythese third parties may differ from period to period. Although we believe these data are prepared on a period-to-period basis in a manner that is generallyconsistent and that such results can be generally indicative of current prescription trends, these data are based on estimates and should not be relied upon asdefinitive. While we expect to be able to grow Vascepa revenues over time, no guidance should be inferred from the operating metrics described above. Wealso anticipate that such sales growth will be inconsistent from period to period. We believe that investors should view the above-referenced operatingmetrics with caution, as data for this limited period may not be representative of a trend consistent with the results presented or otherwise predictive of futureresults. Seasonal fluctuations in pharmaceutical sales, for example, may affect future prescription trends of Vascepa, as could changes in prescriber sentiment,quarterly changes in Distributor purchases, and other factors. We believe investors should consider our results over several quarters, or longer, before makingan assessment about potential future performance.The commercialization of pharmaceutical products is a complex undertaking, and our ability to effectively and profitably commercialize Vascepa willdepend in part on our ability to generate market demand for Vascepa through education, marketing and sales activities, our ability to achieve marketacceptance of Vascepa, our ability to generate product revenue and our ability to receive adequate levels of reimbursement from third-party payers. See “RiskFactors—Risks Related to the Commercialization and Development of Vascepa.”65 In August 2015, we and our co-promotion partner began communicating promotional information beyond MARINE clinical trial data to targetedhealthcare professionals. Such qualified communications are being made pursuant to the August 2015 federal district court declaration and related March2016 settlement allowing truthful and non-misleading promotion of the FDA-reviewed and agreed effects of Vascepa demonstrated in the ANCHOR clinicaltrial and presentation of the current state of scientific research related to the potential of Vascepa to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease includingthrough use of peer-reviewed scientific publications of available data.Commercialization—Outside the United StatesIn February 2015, we announced an exclusive agreement with Eddingpharm to develop and commercialize Vascepa capsules in what we refer to as theChina Territory, consisting of the territories of Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, for uses that are currently commercialized and underdevelopment by us in the United States based on the MARINE, ANCHOR and ongoing REDUCE-IT clinical trials of Vascepa.Under the agreement, Eddingpharm is responsible for development and commercialization activities in the China Territory and associated expenses.We will provide development assistance and be responsible for supplying the product. Terms of the agreement include up-front and milestone payments to usof up to $169.0 million, including a non-refundable $15.0 million up-front payment received at closing, a non-refundable milestone payment of $1.0 millionreceived upon successful submission of a clinical trial application, or CTA, with respect to the MARINE indication for Vascepa to the Chinese regulatoryauthority in March 2016. In March 2017, the CTA was approved by the Chinese regulatory authority and, in December 2017, Eddingpharm commenced apivotal clinical trial aimed to support the regulatory approval of the first indication of Vascepa in a patient population with severe hypertriglyceridemia inMainland China. We are also entitled to receive future regulatory and sales-based milestone payments of up to an additional $153.0 million. The regulatorymilestone events relate to the submission and approval of certain applications to the applicable regulatory authority, such as a clinical trial application,clinical trial exemption, or import drug license application. The amounts to be received upon achievement of the regulatory milestone events relate to thesubmission and approval for three indications, and range from $1.0 million to $15.0 million for a total of $33.0 million. The sales-based milestone eventsoccur when annual aggregate net sales of Vascepa in the territory equals or exceeds certain specified thresholds, and range from $5.0 million to $50.0 millionfor a total of $120.0 million. Eddingpharm will also pay us tiered double-digit percentage royalties on net sales of Vascepa in the China Territory escalatingto the high teens. We will supply finished product to Eddingpharm under negotiated terms.In March 2016, we entered into an agreement with Biologix FZCo, or Biologix, to register and commercialize Vascepa in several Middle Eastern andNorth African countries. Under the terms of the distribution agreement, we granted to Biologix a non-exclusive license to use our trademarks in connectionwith the importation, distribution, promotion, marketing and sale of Vascepa in the Middle East and North Africa territory. Upon closing of the agreement, wereceived a non-refundable up-front payment, which will be recognized as revenue over 10 years commencing upon first marketing approval of Vascepa in theterritory. We receive all payments based on total product sales and pay Biologix a service fee in exchange for its services, whereby the service fee represents apercentage of gross selling price which is subject to a minimum floor price.In September 2017, we entered into an agreement with HLS to register, commercialize and distribute Vascepa in Canada. Under the agreement, HLSwill be responsible for regulatory and commercialization activities and associated costs. We will be responsible for providing assistance towards local filings,supplying finished product under negotiated supply terms, maintaining intellectual property, and continuing the development and funding of REDUCE-IT.Terms of the agreement include up-front and milestone payments to us of up to $65.0 million. These payments include a non-refundable $5.0 million up-front payment to be received in two equal installments, the first of which was received at closing with the second to be received upon the six-monthanniversary of the closing. In addition to the non-refundable, up-front payment, we are entitled to receive certain regulatory and sales-based milestonepayments of up to an additional $60.0 million, the timing and achievability of which cannot be determined at least until discussions with Canadianregulatory authorities have commenced, as well as tiered double-digit royalties on net sales of Vascepa in Canada.We continue to assess other partnership opportunities for licensing Vascepa to partners outside of the United States.Research and DevelopmentREDUCE-IT is the first prospective cardiovascular outcomes study of any drug in a population of patients who, despite stable statin therapy, haveelevated triglyceride levels. REDUCE-IT is a multinational, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to assess thecumulative effect on the rate of cardiovascular events for patients treated with Vascepa as an add-on to statin therapy compared to the corresponding rate ofcardiovascular events for patients treated with placebo on top of statin therapy. REDUCE-IT is not designed to demonstrate that lowering triglycerides alonein the study population is sufficient to lower the rate of major adverse cardiovascular events compared to placebo. Rather, it is designed to test the hypothesisthat the clinical effects of Vascepa, including its impact on triglyceride lowering, are effective in lowering the rate of major adverse cardiovascular eventscompared to placebo in patients who despite statin therapy have risk factors for cardiovascular disease, including elevated triglyceride levels. Based on theresults of REDUCE-IT, we may seek additional indications for Vascepa beyond the indications studied in the ANCHOR or MARINE trials.66 In 2016, we completed patient enrollment and randomization of 8,175 individual patients into the REDUCE-IT study, exceeding the 8,000 patientstargeted for the trial. The REDUCE-IT study is designed to be completed after reaching 1,612 aggregate primary cardiovascular events. Based on projectedevent rates, we estimate the onset of the target aggregate number of primary cardiovascular events to be reached near the end of the first quarter of 2018 withstudy results then expected to be available and made public before the end of the third quarter of 2018, followed by publication of the results. Betweenreaching the estimated onset of the target 1,612 aggregate primary cardiovascular events and study data being unblinded and disclosed, vital data will becollected from all remaining living patients in the study and data in the study will be rolled-up for evaluation by the DMC and creation of a final studyreport. We have instructed clinical sites to schedule patients enrolled in the study for their final site visits commencing March 1, 2018.The REDUCE-IT study, since its inception in 2011, has been conducted under a SPA agreement with the FDA. This SPA, as amended, provides forperiodic safety reviews by the study’s DMC. In addition, the SPA, as amended, provided for interim efficacy and safety analyses by the study’s DMC atapproximately 60% and at approximately 80% of the target aggregate number of primary cardiovascular events. The periodic safety reviews and interimefficacy and safety analyses were conducted confidentially by the study’s DMC. We remain blinded to all data from the study. Until the study is completed orthe study is halted due to a patient safety concern (not expected), Amarin personnel will remain blinded to the efficacy and safety data from the REDUCE-ITstudy. Since patient enrollment commenced in 2011, over 33,000 patient years of study experience have been accumulated in the REDUCE-IT study.Following each periodic review of safety data to date, which have occurred quarterly since 2013, and following each of two interim efficacy and safetyanalyses, the DMC has communicated to us that we should continue the study as planned. The p-value used to assess the primary endpoint in REDUCE-IT atcompletion, assuming 1,612 aggregate primary cardiovascular events, is p< 0.0436. In January 2018, we announced that more than 90% of the 1,612 targetedaggregate number of primary cardiovascular events have been reported and documented.Our scientific rationale for the REDUCE-IT study is supported by (i) epidemiological data that suggests elevated triglyceride levels correlate withincreased cardiovascular disease risk, (ii) genetic data that suggests triglyceride and/or triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (as well as low-density lipoproteincholesterol (LDL cholesterol), known as bad cholesterol) are independently in the causal pathway for cardiovascular disease and (iii) clinical data thatsuggest substantial triglyceride reduction in patients with elevated baseline triglyceride levels correlates with reduced cardiovascular risk. Our scientificrationale for the REDUCE-IT study is also supported by research on the putative cardioprotective effects of EPA as presented in scientific literature. It ispossible that the effects of EPA may be due not to a single mode of action, such as triglyceride lowering, but rather to multiple mechanisms working together.Studies in the scientific literature explore potentially beneficial effects of EPA on multiple atherosclerosis processes, including endothelial function,oxidative stress, foam cell formation, inflammation/cytokines, plaque formation/progression, platelet aggregation, thrombus formation, and plaque rupture.The REDUCE-IT study is needed to determine the clinical benefit, if any, of EPA therapy in statin-treated patients with elevated triglyceride levels.Commercial SupplyPrior to 2015, all of our active pharmaceutical ingredient, or API, that has been utilized in product sold was manufactured by two suppliers: NisshinPharma, Inc., or Nisshin, and Chemport, Inc., or Chemport. During 2015, we began purchasing API from a third supplier, Finorga SAS, or Novasep. Theamount of supply we seek to purchase in future periods will depend on the level of growth of Vascepa revenues and minimum purchase commitments withcertain suppliers. While our current supply chain is scalable, we continue efforts to expand, diversify and further enhance it.Financial PositionIn February 2018, we received approximately $65.0 million of net proceeds from a registered offering of our American Depositary Shares (ADSs). Webelieve that our cash and cash equivalents of $73.6 million as of December 31, 2017, together with the approximately $65.0 million received in February2018, will be sufficient to fund our projected operations through results of the REDUCE-IT study, which we anticipate will be available before the end of thethird quarter of 2018 and, assuming positive results of the REDUCE-IT study, through subsequent public presentation of such results at a medical congressbefore the end of 2018. Depending on the level of cash generated from operations, additional capital may be required to expand promotion of Vascepa ascontemplated following anticipated successful results of the REDUCE-IT study. If additional capital is required and we are unable to obtain additionalcapital, we may be forced to delay, limit or eliminate all or a portion of the expanded promotional activities planned following successful results of theREDUCE-IT study. We anticipate that quarterly net cash outflows in future periods will be variable.Financial Operations OverviewProduct Revenue, net. All of our product revenue is derived from product sales of 1-gram and 0.5-gram size capsules of Vascepa, net of allowances,discounts, incentives, rebates, chargebacks and returns. We sell product to a limited number of major wholesalers, as well as selected regional wholesalers andspecialty pharmacy providers, or collectively, our Distributors or our customers, who resell the product to retail pharmacies for purposes of their reselling theproduct to fill patient prescriptions. We67 commenced our commercial launch of 1-gram size Vascepa capsules in the United States in January 2013, and introduced a smaller 0.5-gram capsule size inOctober 2016. In accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP, during 2013, before we had the ability to reliably estimatereturns of Vascepa from our Distributors, revenue was recognized based on the resale of Vascepa for the purposes of filling patient prescriptions, and notbased on our sales to such Distributors. In 2014, we concluded that we had developed sufficient history such that we can reliably estimate returns and as aresult, began to recognize revenue based on sales to our Distributors.Licensing revenue. Licensing revenue currently consists of revenue attributable to receipt of up-front, non-refundable payments and milestonepayments related to license and distribution agreements for Vascepa outside the United States. Up-front and milestone payments under such agreements aretypically recognized as licensing revenue over the estimated period in which we are required to provide regulatory and development support and clinical andcommercial supply pursuant to the agreements.Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold includes the cost of API for Vascepa on which revenue was recognized during the period, as well as theassociated costs for encapsulation, packaging, shipment, supply management, quality assurance, insurance, and other indirect manufacturing, logistics andproduct support costs. The cost of the API included in cost of goods sold reflects the average cost method of inventory valuation and relief. This average costreflects the actual purchase price of Vascepa API.Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries and other related costs,including stock-based compensation expense, for personnel in our sales, marketing, executive, business development, finance and information technologyfunctions, as well as co-promotion fees payable to Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. Other costs primarily include facility costs and professional fees foraccounting, consulting and legal services.Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense consists primarily of fees paid to professional service providers inconjunction with independent monitoring of our clinical trials and acquiring and evaluating data in conjunction with our clinical trials, fees paid toindependent researchers, costs of qualifying contract manufacturers, services expenses incurred in developing and testing products and product candidates,salaries and related expenses for personnel, including stock-based compensation expense, costs of materials, depreciation, rent, utilities and other facilitiescosts. In addition, research and development expenses include the cost to support current development efforts as well as costs of product supply receivedfrom suppliers when such receipt by us is prior to regulatory approval of the supplier. We expense research and development costs as incurred.Gain (Loss) on Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities. Gain (loss) on change in fair value of derivative liabilities is comprised of: (i) thechange in fair value of the derivative liability related to the change in control provision associated with the December 2012 royalty-bearing instrument,(ii) the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities related to the change in control provisions associated with the May 2014 and November 2015exchangeable senior notes, and in 2015 included (iii) the change in fair value of the warrant derivative liability, and (iv) the change in fair value of thederivative liability related to the preferred stock purchase option.Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net. Interest expense consists of interest incurred under lease obligations, interest incurred under our December2012 royalty-bearing instrument financing arrangement, and interest incurred under our 3.5% exchangeable notes. Interest expense under our royalty-bearinginstrument financing arrangement is calculated based on an estimated repayment schedule. Interest expense under our exchangeable notes includes theamortization of the conversion option related to our exchangeable debt, the amortization of the related debt discounts and debt obligation coupon interest.Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents. Other income (expense), net, consists primarily of foreign exchange losses andgains.(Provision for) Benefit from Income Taxes. (Provision for) benefit from income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and reserves for unrecognizedtax benefits reflect management’s best assessment of estimated future taxes to be paid. We are subject to income taxes in both the United States and foreignjurisdictions. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by our evaluation of available evidence which resulted in the recording of non-cashprovisions for income taxes against certain of the deferred tax assets of our U.S. subsidiary for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and EstimatesOur discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements and notes, whichhave been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requiresus to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate ourestimates and judgments, including those related to derivative financial liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various market-specific and other relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgmentsabout the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates underdifferent assumptions or conditions. Estimates are assessed each period and updated to reflect current information. A summary of our significant accountingpolicies is contained in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. A summary of our criticalaccounting policies, significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.68 Revenue Recognition—We sell Vascepa principally to a limited number of Distributors, that in turn resell Vascepa to retail pharmacies thatsubsequently resell it to patients and healthcare providers. In accordance with GAAP, our revenue recognition policy requires that: (i) there is persuasiveevidence that an arrangement exists between us and the Distributor, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) collectability is reasonably assured and (iv) the price isfixed or determinable.We began recognizing revenue from the sale of Vascepa following our commercial launch in the United States in January 2013. Prior to 2013, werecognized no revenue from Vascepa sales. We sell Vascepa to Distributors. In accordance with GAAP, during 2013, before we had the ability to reliablyestimate returns of Vascepa from our Distributors, revenue was recognized based on the resale of Vascepa for the purposes of filling patient prescriptions, andnot based on our sales to such Distributors. In 2014, we concluded that we had developed sufficient history such that we can reliably estimate returns and as aresult, began to recognize revenue based on sales to our Distributors. Consequently, we recognized net product revenues of $179.8 million and$129.0 million based on sales to Distributors during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.We have written contracts with our Distributors, and delivery occurs when a Distributor receives Vascepa. We evaluate the creditworthiness of each ofour Distributors to determine whether revenues can be recognized upon delivery, subject to satisfaction of the other requirements, or whether recognition isrequired to be delayed until receipt of payment. In order to conclude that the price is fixed or determinable, we must be able to (i) calculate our gross productrevenues from the sales to Distributors and (ii) reasonably estimate our net product revenues. We calculate gross product revenues based on the wholesaleacquisition cost that we charge our Distributors for Vascepa. We estimate our net product revenues by deducting from our gross product revenues (a) tradeallowances, such as invoice discounts for prompt payment and distributor fees, (b) estimated government and private payor rebates, chargebacks anddiscounts, such as Medicaid reimbursements, (c) reserves for expected product returns and (d) estimated costs of incentives offered to certain indirectcustomers, including patients. The gross to net deductions are estimated based on available actual information, historical data, known trends, and levels ofinventory in the distribution channel. We rely on resale data provided by our Distributors as well as prescription data provided by Symphony Health andIQVIA (formerly QuintilesIMS) in estimating the level of inventory held in the distribution channel. A hypothetical 5% change in estimated aggregatebottles of channel inventory would result in a change of less than 1% in net product revenues reported during each of the three and twelve months endedDecember 31, 2017 and 2016.When evaluating multiple-element arrangements, we identify the deliverables included within the agreement and evaluate which deliverablesrepresent separate units of accounting based on whether the delivered element has stand-alone value to the collaborator or if the arrangement includes ageneral right of return for delivered items. We may receive up-front, non-refundable payments when licensing our intellectual property in conjunction withresearch and development agreements. In determining the units of accounting, we evaluate whether the license has stand-alone value from the undeliveredelements to the collaborative partner based on the consideration of the relevant facts and circumstances for each arrangement. Factors considered in thisdetermination include the stage of development of the license delivered, research and development capabilities of the partner and the ability of partners todevelop and commercialize Vascepa independently.When we believe a license to our intellectual property does not have stand-alone value from the other deliverables to be provided in the arrangement,we generally recognize revenue attributable to the license over the contractual or estimated performance period. Any unrecognized portion of license revenueis classified within deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. When we believe a license to our intellectual property has stand-alonevalue, we recognize revenue attributed to the license upon delivery. The periods over which revenue is recognized is subject to estimates and may changeover the course of the agreement. Such a change could have a material impact on the amount of revenue we record in future periods.Derivative Financial Liabilities—Derivative financial liabilities are initially recorded at fair value. They are subsequently held at fair value, withgains and losses arising for changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations. The fair value of derivative financial liabilities is determinedusing various valuation techniques. We use our judgment to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditionsexisting at each balance sheet date, which include our projections for future estimated revenues, management estimates of the probability of a change incontrol occurring, and the terms of debt issues of similar companies. Fluctuations in the assumptions used in the valuation model would result in adjustmentsto the fair value of the derivative liabilities reflected on our balance sheet and, therefore, our statement of operations. If we issue shares to discharge theliability, the derivative financial liability is derecognized and common stock and additional paid-in capital are recognized on the issuance of those shares.For options and warrants treated as derivative financial liabilities, at settlement date the carrying value of the options and warrants are transferred to equity.The cash proceeds received from shareholders for additional shares are recorded in common stock and additional paid-in capital. We have recorded financialderivatives related to certain outstanding warrants (extinguished during the first quarter of 2015), the change in control provision associated with ourDecember 2012 royalty-bearing instrument, the change in control provisions associated with our May 2014 and November 2015 exchangeable senior notes(both derecognized upon exchange of the debt hosts into equity during the third quarter of 2016), and a preferred stock purchase option (subsequentlyreclassified to permanent equity).69 Inventory—We capitalize purchases of saleable inventory of Vascepa from suppliers that have been qualified by the FDA. The API purchased forVascepa was sourced from three API suppliers in 2017, 2016, and 2015. If we add a new API supplier, all Vascepa API purchased from such supplier isincluded as a component of research and development expense until the new API supplier is approved. Upon sNDA approval of each additional supplier, wecapitalize subsequent Vascepa API purchases from such supplier as inventory. In April 2016, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330)—Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, and as such, began to state inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable marketvalue (previously, we stated inventories at the lower of cost or market value). Cost is determined based on actual cost using the average cost method. Anallowance is established when management determines that certain inventories may not be saleable. If inventory cost exceeds expected net realizable valuedue to obsolescence, damage, quantities in excess of expected demand, changes in price levels or other causes, then we will reduce the carrying value of suchinventory to net realizable value and recognize the difference as a component of cost of goods sold in the period in which it occurs. We expense inventoryidentified for use as marketing samples when they are packaged. The average cost reflects the actual purchase price of Vascepa API. Additionally, thedetermination of the classification of our inventory requires the use of estimates in order to determine the portion of inventories anticipated to be utilizedwithin twelve months of the balance sheet date.Income Taxes—Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amounts and taxbases of assets and liabilities and operating loss carryforwards and other attributes using enacted rates expected to be in effect when those differences reverse.Valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets that are not more likely than not to be realized.We provide reserves for potential payments of tax to various tax authorities or do not recognize tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions andother issues. Tax benefits for uncertain tax positions are based on a determination of whether a tax benefit taken by us in our tax filings or positions is morelikely than not to be realized, assuming that the matter in question will be decided based on its technical merits. Our policy is to record interest and penaltiesin the provision for income taxes.We assess our ability to realize deferred tax assets at each reporting period. The realization of deferred tax assets depends on generating future taxableincome during the periods in which the tax benefits are deductible or creditable. When making our assessment about the realization of our deferred tax assetsas of December 31, 2017, we considered all available evidence, placing particular weight on evidence that could be objectively verified. The evidenceconsidered included the (i) historical taxable profitability of our U.S. operations, (ii) historical and current year pre-tax book loss position, (iii) sources offuture taxable income, giving weight to sources according to the extent to which they can be objectively verified, (iv) the provisions of the Tax Cuts andJobs Act enacted in 2017 and their impact on our future taxable income, and (v) the risks to our business related to the commercialization and developmentof Vascepa. Based on our assessment, we concluded that recorded U.S. net deferred tax assets of $8.7 million are not more likely than not to be realizable as ofDecember 31, 2017. Any changes in the available evidence used to assess realizability of our U.S. deferred tax assets could result in a material change to thecarrying value of such deferred tax assets in future periods. The majority of our deferred tax assets are held outside of the United States, for which a fullvaluation allowance has been previously recorded. Changes in historical earnings performance, future earnings projections, and changes in tax laws and taxrates, among other factors, may cause us to adjust our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in the future, which would impact our income tax expense inthe period in which we determine that these factors have changed. We intend to maintain the valuation allowance until sufficient positive evidence exists toconclude that it is more likely than not that our deferred tax benefits will be realized. We will continue to monitor the need for valuation allowances in eachjurisdiction and may adjust our positions in the future.Excess tax benefits and deficiencies that arise upon vesting or exercise of share-based payments are recognized as an income tax benefit and expense,respectively, in the consolidated statement of operations.Recent Accounting PronouncementsFor a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying Notes to ConsolidatedFinancial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Effects of InflationWe believe the impact of inflation on operations has been minimal during the past three years.Results of OperationsComparison of Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016Product Revenue, net. We recorded net product revenue of $179.8 million and $129.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016,respectively, an increase of $50.9 million, or 39%. This increase in revenue was driven primarily by an increase in estimated normalized total Vascepaprescriptions. Based on data provided by Symphony Health and IQVIA (formerly QuintilesIMS), estimated normalized total Vascepa prescriptions increasedby approximately 441,000 and 425,000, respectively, over70 the year ended December 31, 2016, representing growth of 45% and 42%, respectively. During 2017, overall wholesaler inventory levels decreased fromyear-end 2016 levels calculated based on estimated days of Vascepa sales on hand. We believe that changes in channel inventory at these independentwholesalers and retail pharmacies are common and are impacted by numerous factors, including holiday timing and recent order trends. We also believe,based on information available to us, that channel inventory levels at the end of both 2017 and 2016 were within ordinary ranges. All of our product revenue in the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was derived from product sales of 1-gram and 0.5-gram size capsules ofVascepa, net of allowances, discounts, incentives, rebates, chargebacks and returns. The FDA-approved dosing for Vascepa continues to be 4 grams per dayand, as expected, the majority of new and existing patients taking Vascepa continue to be prescribed the 1-gram size Vascepa capsules. Timing of shipmentsto wholesalers, as used for revenue recognition, and timing of prescriptions as estimated by third-party sources such as Symphony Health and IQVIA(formerly QuintilesIMS) may differ from period to period.During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, our net product revenue included an adjustment for co-pay mitigation rebates provided by us tocommercially insured patients. Such rebates are intended to offset the differential for patients of Vascepa not covered by commercial insurers at the time oflaunch on Tier 2 for formulary purposes, resulting in higher co-pay amounts for such patients. Our cost for these co-payment mitigation rebates during theyears ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was up to $70 per 30-day prescription filled and, beginning in March 2017, included up to $140 per 90-dayprescription filled. Since launch, certain third-party payors have added Vascepa to their Tier 2 coverage, which results in lower co-payments for patientscovered by these third-party payors. In connection with such Tier 2 coverage, we have agreed to pay customary rebates to these third-party payors on theresale of Vascepa to patients covered by these third-party payors.As is typical for the pharmaceutical industry, the majority of Vascepa sales are to major commercial wholesalers which then resell Vascepa to retailpharmacies.Licensing Revenue. Licensing revenue during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $1.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, anincrease of $0.2 million, or 14%. Licensing revenue relates to the amortization of a $15.0 million up-front payment received in February 2015 and a$1.0 million milestone payment achieved in March 2016, both associated with a Vascepa licensing agreement for the China Territory. Licensing revenue alsoincludes amortization of a $5.0 million up-front amount associated with a Vascepa licensing agreement for Canada, which was reached in September 2017.The up-front and milestone payments are being recognized over the estimated period in which we are required to provide regulatory and developmentsupport and clinical and commercial supply under the agreements. The amount of licensing revenue recorded may be variable from period to period based ontiming of milestones achieved and changes in estimates of the timing and level of support required. We do not anticipate significant revenues frominternational sources in 2018.Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $45.0 million and $34.4 million, respectively, anincrease of $10.6 million, or 31%. Cost of goods sold includes the cost of API for Vascepa on which revenue was recognized during the period, as well as theassociated costs for encapsulation, packaging, shipment, supply management, insurance and quality assurance. The cost of the API included in cost of goodssold reflects the average cost of API included in inventory. This average cost reflects the actual purchase price of Vascepa API.The API included in the calculation of the average cost of goods sold during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was sourced from three APIsuppliers. These suppliers compete with each other based on cost, consistent quality, capacity, timely delivery and other factors. In the future, we may see theaverage cost of supply change based on numerous potential factors including increased volume purchases, continued improvement in manufacturingefficiency, the mix of purchases made among suppliers, currency exchange rates and other factors. We currently anticipate API average cost in 2018 to besimilar to 2017. The average cost may be variable from period to period depending upon the timing and quantity of API purchased from each supplier.Our gross margin on product sales for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was 75% and 73%, respectively. This improvement was primarilydriven by lower unit cost API purchases. 71 Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was$134.5 million and $111.4 million, respectively, an increase of $23.2 million, or 21%. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the years endedDecember 31, 2017 and 2016 are summarized in the table below: Year Ended December 31, In thousands 2017 2016 Selling, general and administrative expense (1) $100,204 $82,042 Co-promotion fees (2) 22,507 17,969 Non-cash stock-based compensation expense (3) 11,838 11,361 Total selling, general and administrative expense $134,549 $111,372 (1)Selling, general and administrative expense, excluding co-promotion fees and non-cash compensation charges for stock compensation, for the yearsended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $100.2 million and $82.0 million, respectively, an increase of $18.2 million, or 22%. This increase is dueprimarily to increased promotional activities, including commercial spend for anticipated expansion following successful REDUCE-IT results, andincreased legal costs, which are subject to quarterly variability.(2)Co-promotion fees payable to Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. were $22.5 million and $18.0 million in the years ended December 31, 2017 and2016, respectively, an increase of $4.5 million, or 25%. The increase is due primarily to an increase in gross margin on product sales for the year endedDecember 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, offset as a result of amended contract terms in 2017 related to the percentage of aggregateVascepa gross margin earned by Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. and certain other refinements.(3)Non-cash stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $11.8 million and $11.4 million, respectively, anincrease of $0.5 million, or 4%.We anticipate increasing our direct sales force to approximately 400 to 500 sales professionals after REDUCE-IT results, assuming success. We alsointend to expand medical education and market awareness initiatives, including, in advance of REDUCE-IT results being known, pilot testing of newpromotional initiatives for potential broader applications following REDUCE-IT results. During 2018, which is the last year of the agreement, as amended,with Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc., we anticipate incurring expense for both the annual co-promotion fee, which in 2018 will again be calculated as apercentage of Vascepa gross margin at a modestly higher rate than in 2017, plus accrual for co-promotion tail payments. Assuming Kowa PharmaceuticalsAmerica, Inc. fulfills its obligations in accordance with the terms of the agreement, as amended, after expiration of the agreement, Kowa PharmaceuticalsAmerica, Inc. is eligible to receive up to three years of co-promotion tail payments equal to declining percentages of the co-promotion fee amount earned inthe final year of the agreement with the sum of the three years of co-promotion tail payments totaling less than the co-promotion fee amount earned in thefinal year of the agreement. Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $47.2 million and$50.0 million, respectively, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 6%. Research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 aresummarized in the table below: Year Ended December 31, In thousands 2017 2016 REDUCE-IT study (1) $34,886 $36,989 Regulatory filing fees and expenses (2) 1,011 1,735 Internal staffing, overhead and other (3) 9,139 8,999 Research and development expense, excluding non-cash expense 45,036 47,723 Non-cash stock-based compensation expense (4) 2,122 2,252 Total research and development expense $47,158 $49,975The decrease in research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017, as compared to the prior year period, is primarily due totiming of REDUCE-IT and related costs. (1)In December 2011, we announced commencement of patient dosing in our cardiovascular outcomes study of Vascepa, titled REDUCE-IT, which isdesigned to evaluate the efficacy of Vascepa, including its impact on triglyceride lowering and its other clinical effects, in reducing major adversecardiovascular events compared to placebo in patients who despite statin therapy have risk factors for cardiovascular disease, including elevatedtriglyceride levels. In 2016, we completed patient enrollment and randomization of 8,175 individual patients into the REDUCE-IT study, exceedingthe 8,000 patients targeted for the trial. We manage the study through a contract research organization (CRO) through which all costs for thisoutcomes study are incurred with the exception of costs for clinical trial material (CTM) and costs for internal management. Our internal personnel areresponsible for managing multiple projects and their costs are not specifically allocated to REDUCE-IT or any other individual project. For the yearsended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we incurred expenses through our CRO in connection with this trial72 of approximately $29.9 million and $28.8 million, respectively. Inclusive of CTM costs, the combined CRO and CTM costs during the years endedDecember 31, 2017 and 2016 for REDUCE-IT were approximately $34.9 million and $37.0 million, respectively. The decrease in expenses in 2017 ascompared to 2016 is primarily the result of timing variability for REDUCE-IT costs. We expense costs for CTM when allocated to clinical research.We currently estimate that we will incur $10 million to $15 million in quarterly costs through study completion and initial publication of the trialresults. We anticipate that the rate at which we incur such costs will vary from quarter to quarter. We estimate that the study will be completed withtop-line study results becoming available and made public before the end of the third quarter of 2018, followed by publication of the results. Weanticipate that our costs for this outcomes study will continue to represent the most significant component of our research and developmentexpenditures until the results of this study are published.(2)The regulatory filing fees in each of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 included annual FDA fees for maintaining manufacturing sites.Such fees primarily represent fees for qualification of new suppliers, including increasing capacity capabilities, and fees for sites used for themanufacture of product used in the REDUCE-IT clinical outcomes study.(3)Internal staffing, overhead and other research and development expenses primarily relate to the costs of our personnel employed to manage research,development and regulatory affairs activities and related overhead costs including consulting and other professional fees that are not allocated tospecific projects. Also included are costs related to qualifying suppliers. We anticipate these costs to increase in 2018 compared to 2017 in support ofpublishing results of the REDUCE-IT study and preparing potential regulatory filings based on the results of the study. The amount and timing ofsuch increases will depend on the results of the currently ongoing REDUCE-IT trial.(4)Non-cash stock-based compensation expense represents the costs associated with equity awards issued to internal staff supporting our research anddevelopment and regulatory functions.Gain (Loss) on Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities. Gain (loss) on change in fair value of derivative liabilities for the year endedDecember 31, 2017 was nil versus a gain of $8.2 million in the prior year period. Gain (loss) on change in fair value of derivative liabilities for the yearsended December 31, 2017 and 2016 is comprised of (i) the change in fair value of the derivative liability related to the change in control provision associatedwith the December 2012 royalty-bearing instrument, and (ii) the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities related to the change in control provisionsassociated with the May 2014 and November 2015 exchangeable senior notes.Our December 2012 royalty-bearing instrument financing arrangement with CPPIB Credit Europe S.à r.l., or CPPIB, as successor in interest toBioPharma Secured Debt Fund II Holdings Cayman LP, contains a redemption feature whereby, upon a change of control, we would be required to repay$150.0 million, less any previously repaid amount, which net remaining unpaid amount as of December 31, 2017 was $109.1 million. Unless this earlyredemption feature is triggered, the remaining amount, without additional interest accumulation, is anticipated to be paid based on the royalty provisions ofthe agreement. The fair value of the derivative liability is recalculated at each reporting period using a probability-weighted model incorporatingmanagement estimates for potential change in control, and by determining the fair value of the debt with and without the change in control provisionincluded. The difference between the two fair values of the debt was determined to be the fair value of the embedded derivative. No gain or loss on change infair value of derivative liability was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2017 as the fair value of the derivative was determined to be nil based onunderlying assumptions as of both December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2015, the fair value of the derivative was determined tobe $5.5 million, and as of December 31, 2016, the fair value of the derivative was determined to be nil. As such, we recognized a $5.5 million gain on changein fair value of derivative liability for the year ended December 31, 2016.Our 3.5% May 2014 exchangeable senior notes due 2032, or 2014 Notes, contained a redemption feature whereby, upon occurrence of a change incontrol, we would have been required to repurchase the notes. The fair value of the embedded derivative was calculated using a probability-weighted modelincorporating management estimates of the probability of a change in control occurring, and by determining the fair value of the debt with and without thechange in control provision included. The difference between the two was determined to be the fair value of the embedded derivative. In September 2016, weexercised our optional exchange rights upon satisfaction of specified equity conditions set forth in the 2014 Notes indenture to mandatorily exchange the2014 Notes into ADSs (see Note 8—Debt). As such, the related derivative liability was derecognized at that time and we recognized a $2.1 million gain onchange in fair value of derivative liability for the year ended December 31, 2016. There was no such change in fair value of derivative liability for the yearended December 31, 2017.Our 3.5% November 2015 exchangeable senior notes due 2032, or 2015 Notes, contained the same redemption feature as the 2014 Notes and therelated derivative liability was calculated utilizing the same methodology. In September 2016, we exercised our optional exchange rights upon satisfactionof specified equity conditions consistent with the terms of the 2015 Notes to mandatorily exchange the 2015 Notes into ADSs (see Note 8—Debt). As such,the related derivative liability was derecognized at that time and we recognized a $0.6 million gain on change in fair value of derivative liability for the yearended December 31, 2016. There was no such change in fair value of derivative liability for the year ended December 31, 2017.73 The change in fair value of the derivative liability related to the royalty-bearing instrument is largely related to our projections for future estimatedrevenues, management estimates of the probability of a change in control occurring, and the terms of debt issues of similar companies. The change in fairvalue of the derivative liabilities related to the 2014 Notes and 2015 Notes was a result of the exchange of the related debt hosts for the year endedDecember 31, 2016. Any changes in the assumptions used to value the derivative liabilities could result in a material change to the carrying value of suchliabilities.Interest Expense, net. Net interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $9.3 million and $18.4 million, respectively, adecrease of $9.1 million, or 48%. Net interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 is summarized in the table below: Year ended December 31, In thousands 2017 2016 Exchangeable senior notes (1): Amortization of debt discounts $200 $5,703 Contractual coupon interest 1,004 4,151 Total exchangeable senior notes interest expense 1,204 9,854 Long-term debt from royalty-bearing instrument (2): Cash interest 6,425 6,727 Non-cash interest 2,132 2,081 Total long-term debt from royalty-bearing instrument interest expense 8,557 8,808 Other interest expense 5 15 Total interest expense 9,766 18,677 Interest income (3) (429) (234)Total interest expense, net $9,337 $18,443 (1)Cash and non-cash interest expense related to the exchangeable senior notes for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $1.2 million and$9.9 million, respectively. The decrease in cash and non-cash interest expense is the result of the decrease in principal amount of exchangeable seniornotes from $165.1 million outstanding during the majority of 2016 to $30.0 million outstanding during 2017.(2)Cash and non-cash interest expense related to the December 2012 royalty-bearing instrument for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was$8.6 million and $8.8 million, respectively. These amounts reflect the assumption that our Vascepa net revenue levels will not be high enough tosupport repayment in accordance with the contractual repayment schedule without the optional reduction which is allowed to be elected by us if thethreshold revenue levels are not achieved. To date, our revenues have been below the contractual threshold amount each quarter such that eachpayment reflects the calculated optional reduction amount as opposed to the contractual threshold payments for each quarterly period.(3)Interest income for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Interest income represents incomeearned on cash balances.Other Income (Expense), net. Other income (expense), net, for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was income of $0.1 million and expense of$0.5 million, respectively. Other income (expense), net, in the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 primarily consists of gains and losses on foreignexchange transactions.(Provision for) Benefit from Income Taxes. (Provision for) benefit from income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was a provisionof $13.0 million and a provision of $10.0 million, respectively. The provisions recorded relate entirely to the U.S. subsidiary operations. At the date ofenactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, we had net deferred tax assets for the excess of the net tax value over the book basis of our U.S. assets and liabilitieswhich will generate future tax deductions in excess of book expense. As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, future tax deductions will result in a decreasedreduction in tax expense. Consequently, we reduced the amount of the U.S. subsidiary’s net deferred tax assets as of the date of enactment and recorded anon-cash charge of $2.4 million in the provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2017 due to the decrease in the U.S. corporate tax ratefrom 34% to 21%. In addition, based on our evaluation of the available evidence, we recognized non-cash tax expense during the year ended December 31,2017 of $8.7 million related to the recording of additional valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets on the balance sheet to zero as we concludedthat it is not more likely than not that certain of the deferred tax benefits resulting from the deferred tax assets generated from the U.S. subsidiary operationswill be realized. The provisions for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 include $1.3 million of excess tax benefits and$0.4 million of excess tax deficiencies, respectively, arising from share-based payments as a result of adopting ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation—StockCompensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which requires that excess tax benefits and deficiencies that ariseupon vesting or exercise of share-based payments be recognized as an income tax benefit and expense in the income statement.74 Comparison of Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015Product Revenue, net. We recorded product revenue of $129.0 million and $81.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015,respectively, an increase of $48.0 million, or 59%. This increase in revenue was driven primarily by an increase in estimated normalized total Vascepaprescriptions. Based on data provided by Symphony Health and IQVIA (formerly QuintilesIMS), estimated normalized total Vascepa prescriptions increasedby approximately 339,000 and 378,000, respectively, over the year ended December 31, 2015, representing growth of 53% and 56%, respectively. During2016, predominantly in the second quarter, wholesaler inventory levels increased based on estimated days of inventory on hand. In addition, regionalstocking of Vascepa expanded at certain retail pharmacies, likely due to higher volume sales of Vascepa. We estimate that these changes in channelinventory increased net product revenue by approximately $3.0 million to $6.0 million during 2016, compared to a $0.4 million to $0.7 million decrease innet product revenue due to net inventory level changes during 2015. We believe that changes in channel inventory at these independent wholesalers andretail pharmacies are common and impacted by numerous factors, including holiday timing and recent order trends. We also believe, based on informationavailable to us, that channel inventory levels at the end of both 2015 and 2016 are within ordinary ranges.All of our product revenue in the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was derived from product sales of Vascepa, net of allowances, discounts,incentives, rebates, chargebacks and returns. Included in 2016 net product revenue are sales of 0.5-gram size Vascepa capsules, which were introduced inOctober 2016, for the subset of patients who prefer a smaller capsule. Sales of Vascepa 0.5-gram size capsules have not been significant to date. The FDA-approved dosing for Vascepa continues to be 4 grams per day and we expect that the majority of patients taking Vascepa will continue to be prescribed the 1-gram size Vascepa capsules. We also expect that the majority of new patients will be prescribed the 1-gram size Vascepa capsule. Timing of shipments towholesalers, as used for revenue recognition, and timing of prescriptions as estimated by third-party sources such as Symphony Health Solutions andQuintilesIMS may differ from period to period.During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, our net product revenue included an adjustment for co-pay mitigation rebates provided by us tocommercially insured patients. Such rebates are intended to offset the differential for patients of Vascepa not covered by commercial insurers at the time oflaunch on Tier 2 for formulary purposes, resulting in higher co-pay amounts for such patients. Our cost for these co-payment mitigation rebates during theyears ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was up to $70 per prescription filled. Since launch, certain third-party payors have added Vascepa to their Tier 2coverage, which results in lower co-payments for patients covered by these third-party payors. In connection with such Tier 2 coverage, we have agreed topay customary rebates to these third-party payors on the resale of Vascepa to patients covered by these third-party payors.As is typical for the pharmaceutical industry, the majority of Vascepa sales are to major commercial wholesalers which then resell Vascepa to retailpharmacies.Licensing Revenue. Licensing revenue during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $1.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, anincrease of $0.4 million, or 46%. Licensing revenue relates to the amortization of a $15.0 million up-front payment received in February 2015 and a $1.0million milestone payment achieved in March 2016, both associated with a Vascepa licensing agreement for the China Territory. The up-front and milestonepayments are being recognized over the estimated period in which we are required to provide regulatory and development support and clinical andcommercial supply under the agreement. The amount of licensing revenue recorded may be variable from period to period based on changes in estimates ofthe timing and level of support required. We do not anticipate significant revenues related to the Biologix agreement in 2017.Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $34.4 million and $27.9 million, respectively, anincrease of $6.5 million, or 23%. Cost of goods sold includes the cost of API for Vascepa on which revenue was recognized during the period, as well as theassociated costs for encapsulation, packaging, shipment, supply management, insurance and quality assurance. The cost of the API included in cost of goodssold reflects the average cost of API included in inventory. This average cost reflects the actual purchase price of Vascepa API.The API included in the calculation of the average cost of goods sold during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was sourced from three APIsuppliers. The contracted cost of supply from our initial API supplier was higher than the contracted cost from our other API suppliers. In the future, weanticipate making continued purchases from this initial supplier and to make additional lower unit cost purchases of Vascepa API from other API suppliers,with the amount of such purchases dependent on the rate of our revenue growth. The average cost may be variable from period to period depending upon thetiming and quantity of API purchased from each supplier.Our gross margin on product sales for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was 73% and 66%, respectively. This improvement was primarilydriven by lower unit cost API purchases.75 Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was$111.4 million and $101.0 million, respectively, an increase of $10.4 million, or 10%. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the years endedDecember 31, 2016 and 2015 are summarized in the table below: Year Ended December 31, In thousands2016 2015 Selling, general and administrative expense (1)$82,042 $82,474 Co-promotion fees (2) 17,969 7,967 Non-cash stock-based compensation expense (3) 11,361 10,609 Non-cash warrant related compensation income — (9)Total selling, general and administrative expense$111,372 $101,041 (1)Selling, general and administrative expense, excluding co-promotion fees and non-cash compensation charges for stock compensation and warrants,for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $82.0 million and $82.5 million, respectively, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 1%. This slightdecrease is due primarily to an increase in prior-year sales and marketing costs in support of expanded Vascepa promotion following the favorablefederal court declaration on August 7, 2015 and related settlement on March 8, 2016 allowing communication of truthful and non-misleadingANCHOR clinical trial and related data to be communicated to healthcare professionals, more than offset by lower legal costs resulting from the same.(2)Co-promotion fees payable to Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. were $18.0 million and $8.0 million in the years ended December 31, 2016 and2015, respectively, an increase of $10.0 million, or 126%. The increase is due primarily to an increase in gross margin on product sales for the yearended December 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, coupled with an increase in the percentage of aggregate Vascepa gross margin earnedby Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. from 15% in 2015 to 19% in 2016.(3)Stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $11.4 million and $10.6 million, respectively, an increase of$0.8 million, or 7%, primarily due to an increase in new stock option and restricted stock awards granted to attract and retain qualified employees.We anticipate that selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding non-cash costs, will increase by less than 10% in 2017 compared with2016, with the exception of commercial spending for anticipated expansion following successful REDUCE-IT results and increased co-promotion feesanticipated to be paid to Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. associated primarily with anticipated increased revenue growth.Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $50.0 million and$51.1 million, respectively, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 2%. Research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 aresummarized in the table below: Year Ended December 31, In thousands2016 2015 REDUCE-IT study (1)$36,989 $34,706 Regulatory filing fees and expenses (2) 1,735 2,162 Internal staffing, overhead and other (3) 8,999 10,914 Research and development expense, excluding non-cash expense 47,723 47,782 Non-cash stock-based compensation expense (4) 2,252 3,280 Total research and development expense$49,975 $51,062The decrease in research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016, as compared to the prior year period, is primarily due to adecrease in overhead costs and non-cash stock-based compensation partially offset by quarterly variability in costs related to the REDUCE-IT study.(1)In December 2011, we announced commencement of patient dosing in our cardiovascular outcomes study of Vascepa, titled REDUCE-IT, which isdesigned to evaluate the efficacy of Vascepa, including its impact on triglyceride lowering and its other clinical effects, in reducing major adversecardiovascular events compared to placebo in patients who despite statin therapy have risk factors for cardiovascular disease, including elevatedtriglyceride levels. In 2016, we completed patient enrollment and randomization of 8,175 individual patients into the REDUCE-IT study, exceedingthe 8,000 patients targeted for the trial. The study duration is dependent on the rate of clinical events in the study, which rate may be affected by theepidemiology of the patients enrolled in the study and the length of time that the enrolled patients are followed. We manage the study through acontract research organization (CRO) through which all costs for this outcomes study are incurred with the exception of costs for clinical trial material(CTM) and costs for internal management. Our internal personnel are responsible for managing multiple projects and their costs are not specificallyallocated to REDUCE-IT or any other individual project. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, we incurred expenses through our CRO inconnection with this trial of approximately76 $28.8 million and $28.5 million, respectively. Inclusive of CTM costs, the combined CRO and CTM costs during the years ended December 31, 2016and 2015 for REDUCE-IT were approximately $37.0 million and $34.7 million, respectively. The increase in expenses in 2016 as compared to 2015 isprimarily the result of timing variability for REDUCE-IT costs. We expense costs for CTM when allocated to clinical research. The aggregate cost ofthis outcomes study will depend on the rate of clinical events in the study. We currently estimate that we will incur $30 million to $40 million inannual costs through study completion and the rate at which we incur such costs will vary from quarter to quarter. The study is designed to becompleted after reaching 1,612 aggregate primary cardiovascular events. Based on projected event rates, we estimate the onset of the target aggregatenumber of primary cardiovascular events to be reached near the end of 2017 with study results then expected to be available and published in 2018.We anticipate that our costs for this outcomes study will continue to represent the most significant component of our research and developmentexpenditures.(2)The regulatory filing fees in each of the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 included annual FDA fees for maintaining manufacturing sites.Such fees primarily represent fees for qualification of new suppliers, including increasing capacity capabilities, and fees for sites used for themanufacture of product used in the REDUCE-IT clinical outcomes study.(3)Internal staffing, overhead and other research and development expenses primarily relate to the costs of our personnel employed to manage research,development and regulatory affairs activities and related overhead costs including consulting and other professional fees that are not allocated tospecific projects. Also included are costs related to qualifying suppliers.(4)Non-cash stock-based compensation expense represents the costs associated with equity awards issued to internal staff supporting our research anddevelopment and regulatory functions.We anticipate that research and development expenses in 2017, excluding non-cash costs, will remain relatively consistent with 2016 levels, with themajority of such spending devoted to the ongoing REDUCE-IT trial.Gain (Loss) on Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities. Gain (loss) on change in fair value of derivative liabilities for the year ended December31, 2016 was a gain of $8.2 million versus a loss of $1.1 million in the prior year period. Gain (loss) on change in fair value of derivative liabilities for theyears ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 is comprised of (i) the change in fair value of the warrant derivative liability, (ii) the change in fair value of thederivative liability related to the change in control provision associated with the December 2012 BioPharma financing, (iii) the change in fair value of thederivative liabilities related to the change in control provisions associated with the May 2014 and November 2015 exchangeable senior notes, and (iv) thechange in fair value of the derivative liability related to the preferred stock purchase option.The warrant derivative liability was related to the change in fair value of warrants issued in conjunction with the October 2009 private placement. InOctober 2009, we issued 36.1 million warrants at an exercise price of $1.50 per warrant and recorded a $48.3 million warrant derivative liability, representingthe fair value of the warrants issued. As these warrants were classified as a derivative liability, they were revalued at each reporting period, with changes infair value recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. Of the 8,087,388 warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2014, 1,844,585 warrants wereexercised and the remaining 6,242,803 warrants expired on February 27, 2015. As such, no warrants were outstanding as of December 31, 2015 and thederivative liability was extinguished. The fair value of the warrant derivative liability as of December 31, 2014 was $0.1 million and we recognized a $0.1million gain on change in fair value of derivative liability for the year ended December 31, 2015. There was no such change in fair value of warrantderivative liability for the year ended December 31, 2016.Our December 2012 financing agreement with BioPharma contains a redemption feature whereby, upon a change of control, we would be required torepay $150.0 million, less any previously repaid amount, which net remaining unpaid amount as of December 31, 2016 was $125.6 million. Unless this earlyredemption feature is triggered, the remaining amount, without additional interest accumulation, is anticipated to be paid based on the royalty provisions ofthe agreement. The fair value of the derivative liability is recalculated at each reporting period using a probability-weighted model incorporatingmanagement estimates for potential change in control, and by determining the fair value of the debt with and without the change in control provisionincluded. The difference between the two fair values of the debt was determined to be the fair value of the embedded derivative. As of December 31, 2015, thefair value of the derivative was determined to be $5.5 million, and as of December 31, 2016, the fair value of the derivative was determined to be nil based oncurrent assumptions. As such, we recognized a $5.5 million gain on change in fair value of derivative liability for the year ended December 31, 2016. As ofDecember 31, 2014, the fair value of the derivative was determined to be $4.8 million, and as of December 31, 2015, the fair value of the derivative wasdetermined to be $5.5 million. As such, we recognized a $0.7 million loss on change in fair value of derivative liability for the year ended December 31,2015.Our 2014 Notes, issued in May 2014, contained a redemption feature whereby, upon occurrence of a change in control, we would have been requiredto repurchase the notes. The fair value of the embedded derivative was calculated using a probability-weighted model incorporating management estimatesof the probability of a change in control occurring, and by determining the fair value of the debt with and without the change in control provision included.The difference between the two was determined to be the fair value of the embedded derivative. In September 2016, we exercised our optional exchangerights upon satisfaction of specified equity conditions set forth in the 2014 Notes indenture to mandatorily exchange the 2014 Notes into ADSs (see Note 8—Debt). As such, the related derivative liability was derecognized and we recognized a $2.1 million gain on change in fair value of derivative77 liability for the year ended December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2014, the fair value of the derivative was determined to be $2.6 million, and as ofDecember 31, 2015, the fair value of the derivative was determined to be $2.1 million. As such, we recognized a $0.5 million gain on change in fair value ofderivative liability for the year ended December 31, 2015.Our 2015 Notes, issued in November 2015, contained the same redemption feature as the 2014 Notes and the related derivative liability wascalculated utilizing the same methodology. In September 2016, we exercised our optional exchange rights upon satisfaction of specified equity conditionsconsistent with the terms of the 2015 Notes to mandatorily exchange the 2015 Notes into ADSs (see Note 8—Debt). As such, the related derivative liabilitywas derecognized and we recognized a $0.6 million gain on change in fair value of derivative liability for the year ended December 31, 2016. Upon issuancein November 2015, the fair value of the derivative was determined to be $0.5 million, and as of December 31, 2015, the fair value of the derivative wasdetermined to be $0.6 million. As such, we recognized a $0.1 million loss on change in fair value of derivative liability for the year ended December 31,2015.In connection with the closing of a private placement transaction in early March 2015, we recorded a derivative liability pursuant to a pre-existingcontractual right. This preferred stock purchase option was determined to be a derivative liability effective March 5, 2015, the date in which the privateplacement was initially subscribed. The fair value of this liability was calculated using a Black-Scholes model and was determined to be $0.9 million atinception. The liability was charged to accumulated deficit as a deemed non-cash dividend and was therefore reflected as an adjustment to net loss applicableto common shareholders for earnings per common share purposes in accordance with GAAP for the year ended December 31, 2015. The liability was thenmarked to fair value through March 30, 2015, the date on which we executed a separate subscription agreement with the investor, resulting in a charge of$0.9 million through gain (loss) on change in fair value of derivatives in the year ended December 31, 2015. The liability of $1.8 million was thenreclassified to permanent equity on March 30, 2015. There was no such change in fair value of derivative liability for the year ended December 31, 2016.The change in fair value of the derivative liability related to the BioPharma financing agreement is largely related to our projections for futureestimated revenues, management estimates of the probability of a change in control occurring, and the terms of debt issues of similar companies. The changein fair value of the derivative liabilities related to the 2014 Notes and 2015 Notes is a result of the exchange of the related debt hosts for the year endedDecember 31, 2016 and was largely related to changes in quoted bond prices for the year ended December 31, 2015. Any changes in the assumptions used tovalue the derivative liabilities could result in a material change to the carrying value of such liabilities.Gain on Extinguishment of Debt. In November 2015, we entered into a privately negotiated subscription agreement with one of our existing investors(the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Investor agreed to purchase approximately $31.3 million in aggregate principal amount of new 3.5% November 2015Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2015 Notes”) for approximately $27.5 million. Concurrent with the issuance of the 2015 Notes, we entered intoseparate, privately negotiated purchase agreements with certain holders of the 3.5% January 2012 Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2012 Notes”)pursuant to which we purchased approximately $16.2 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2012 Notes for $15.9 million (the “2012 NotesPurchase”), which includes accrued but unpaid interest on such 2012 Notes. The 2012 Notes Purchase was funded by the issuance of the 2015 Notes.Following the closing of the 2012 Notes Purchase, we had approximately $15.1 million in aggregate principal amount of 2012 Notes outstanding. The 2012Notes Purchase was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt and we recorded a gain of $1.3 million upon extinguishment for the year ended December 31,2015, which represents the reacquisition of the conversion option at fair value and a negotiated discount on the purchase of the notes partially offset by legaland transaction advisory costs incurred. There was no such gain on extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2016.78 Interest Expense, net. Net interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $18.4 million and $20.0 million, respectively, adecrease of $1.6 million, or 8%. Net interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 is summarized in the table below: Year ended December 31, In thousands2016 2015 Exchangeable senior notes (1): Amortization of debt discounts$5,703 $6,362 Contractual coupon interest 4,151 5,313 Total exchangeable senior notes interest expense 9,854 11,675 Long-term debt from royalty-bearing instrument (2): Cash interest—current 6,727 6,483 Cash interest—deferred — 112 Non-cash interest 2,081 1,895 Total long-term debt from royalty-bearing instrument interest expense 8,808 8,490 Other interest expense 15 15 Total interest expense 18,677 20,180 Interest income (3) (234) (132)Total interest expense, net$18,443 $20,048 (1)Cash and non-cash interest expense related to the exchangeable senior notes for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $9.9 million and$11.7 million, respectively.(2)Cash and non-cash interest expense related to the December 2012 royalty-bearing instrument for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, heldby BioPharma during such years, was $8.8 million and $8.5 million, respectively. These amounts reflect the assumption that our Vascepa net revenuelevels will not be high enough to support repayment to BioPharma in accordance with the contractual repayment schedule without the optionalreduction which is allowed to be elected by us if the threshold revenue levels are not achieved. To date, our revenues have been below the contractualthreshold amount each quarter such that each payment reflects the calculated optional reduction amount as opposed to the contractual thresholdpayments for each quarterly period.(3)Interest income for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Interest income represents incomeearned on cash balances.Other Income (Expense), net. Other income (expense), net, for the year ended December 31, 2016 was expense of $0.5 million versus expense of $0.2million in the prior year period. Other income (expense), net, in the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 primarily consists of gains and losses onforeign exchange transactions.(Provision for) Benefit from Income Taxes. (Provision for) benefit from income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was a provisionof $10.0 million and a benefit of $3.1 million, respectively. The current provision relates entirely to the U.S. subsidiary operations. We are profitable in theUnited States as a result of intercompany transactions between our U.S. subsidiary and our other companies. In April 2016, we adopted ASU No. 2016-09,Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which requires that excess tax benefits anddeficiencies that arise upon vesting or exercise of share-based payments be recognized as an income tax benefit and expense in the income statement.Previously, such amounts were recognized as an increase and decrease in additional paid-in capital. This aspect of the standard was adopted prospectivelyand, accordingly, the provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2016 includes $0.4 million of excess tax deficiencies arising from share-based payments.Preferred Stock Purchase Option. In connection with the closing of a private placement transaction in early March 2015, we recorded a derivativeliability pursuant to a pre-existing contractual right. This preferred stock purchase option was determined to be a derivative liability effective March 5, 2015,the date in which the private placement was initially subscribed. The fair value of this liability was calculated using a Black-Scholes model and wasdetermined to be $0.9 million at inception. The liability was charged to accumulated deficit as a deemed non-cash dividend and was therefore reflected as anadjustment to net loss applicable to common shareholders for earnings per common share purposes in accordance with GAAP for the year ended December31, 2015. There was no such adjustment to net loss for the year ended December 31, 2016.Preferred Stock Beneficial Conversion Features. In 2015, we issued Series A preference shares in a private placement transaction executed in twotranches that each contain a conversion feature whereby such shares are convertible into ordinary shares at a fixed rate (see Note 10—Equity). The conversionprice on the date of issuance was less than the market price of our ordinary shares on such date. We determined that these discounts represent contingentbeneficial conversion features, which were valued based on the difference between the conversion price and the market price of the ordinary shares on thedate of issuance. These features are79 analogous to preference dividends and were recorded as non-cash returns to preferred shareholders through accumulated deficit, and are therefore reflected asadjustments to net loss applicable to common shareholders for earnings per common share purposes in accordance with GAAP. During the year endedDecember 31, 2015, we recorded an adjustment to net loss applicable to common shareholders of $31.3 million upon effectiveness of the related resaleRegistration Statement on Form S-3 and $1.6 million upon shareholder approval received at the Company’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. Therewas no such adjustment to net loss in the year ended December 31, 2016Liquidity and Capital ResourcesOur sources of liquidity as of December 31, 2017 include cash and cash equivalents of $73.6 million. In February 2018, we completed a publicoffering of 19,178,082 ADSs. The underwriters purchased the ADSs from us at a price of $3.41 per ADS after commission, resulting in net proceeds to us ofapproximately $65.0 million, after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us. Our projected uses of cash include expansion of medical educationand market awareness initiatives, including, in advance of REDUCE-IT results being known, pilot testing of new promotional initiatives for potential broaderapplication following REDUCE-IT results, increasing inventory balances for incremental inventory build prior to REDUCE-IT results, and general corporateand working capital purposes. Our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows, aresummarized in the following table: Year Ended December 31, In millions 2017 2016 2015 Cash (used in) provided by: Operating activities (1) $(32.8) $(71.8) $(84.0)Investing activities — — — Financing activities (1) 8.2 63.1 71.4 Decrease in cash and cash equivalents $(24.6) $(8.7) $(12.6) (1)Due to the adoption of ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based PaymentAccounting, and retrospective application of the aspects of the standard that affect cash flow presentation, $0.7 million of excess tax benefit has beenreclassified from cash flows provided by financing activities to cash flows used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2015.Net cash used in operating activities during 2017 compared to 2016 decreased primarily as a result of increased collections due to higher revenues,which resulted in decreased net loss. Increased sales and marketing spending in 2017 in support of expanded Vascepa promotion was more than offset byhigher collections from product sales.In December 2012, we entered into a financing agreement with BioPharma. Under this agreement, we granted to BioPharma a security interest in futurereceivables and all related rights to Vascepa, in exchange for $100.0 million received at the closing of the agreement which closing occurred in December2012. In December 2017, BioPharma assigned all rights under this agreement to CPPIB. We have agreed to repay up to $150.0 million of future revenue andreceivables. As of December 31, 2017, the net remaining amount to be repaid to CPPIB is $109.1 million. To date, our net revenues have been below thecontractual threshold amount such that each payment made has reflected the calculated optional reduction amount as opposed to the contractual thresholdpayments for each quarterly period. As of December 31, 2017, there are no quarterly contractual threshold payments remaining, such that the maximumamount payable is subject only to the calculated threshold limitation based on quarterly Vascepa net revenues. In accordance with the agreement, quarterlydifferences between the calculated optional reduction amounts and the contractual threshold amounts were rescheduled for payment beginning in the secondquarter of 2017 and any such deferred payments will remain subject to continued application of the quarterly ceiling in amounts due established by thecalculated threshold for royalty based on quarterly Vascepa net revenues. No additional interest expense or liability is incurred as a result of such deferredrepayments. The agreement does not expire until $150.0 million in aggregate has been repaid. We can prepay an amount equal to $150.0 million less anypreviously repaid amount.In January 2017, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Corsicanto II DAC, or Corsicanto II, a private designated activity company incorporatedunder the laws of Ireland, entered into separate, privately negotiated purchase agreements with certain investors pursuant to which we issued and sold$30.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.5% exchangeable senior notes due 2047, or the 2017 Notes. The net proceeds we received from the January2017 offering were approximately $28.8 million, after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses.The 2017 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of January 25, 2017, by and among Corsicanto II, us as guarantor, and WilmingtonTrust, National Association, as trustee. The 2017 Notes are the senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer and are guaranteed by us. The 2017 Notes bearinterest at a rate of 3.5% per annum from, and including, January 25, 2017, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year,beginning on July 15, 2017. The 2017 Notes will mature on January 15,80 2047, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or exchanged. On or after January 19, 2021, we may redeem for cash all or a portion of the 2017 Notes at aredemption price of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest. On January 19, 2022,holders of the 2017 Notes may require that we repurchase in cash all or any portion of the 2017 Notes at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principalamount of the 2017 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest. At any time prior to January 15, 2047, the holders may exchange their 2017Notes for ADSs at their option, and we may mandatorily exchange the 2017 Notes if the price of our shares trades above 130% of the exchange price then ineffect for 20 VWAP trading days in any 30 consecutive VWAP trading day period (as defined in the indenture). The initial exchange rate for such conversionis 257.2016 ADSs per $1,000 principal amount of the 2017 Notes (equivalent to an initial exchange price of approximately $3.89 per ADS), subject toadjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, including the payment of cash dividends. Upon exchange, the 2017 Notes are to be settled in ADSs.During 2018, we anticipate that inventory balances will grow in proportion to anticipated revenue growth. Additionally, we anticipate incrementalinventory increases prior to REDUCE-IT results of up to approximately $10 million.As of December 31, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $73.6 million, a decrease of $24.6 million from December 31, 2016. The decrease isprimarily due to net cash used in operating activities in support of the commercialization of Vascepa and funding of REDUCE-IT, substantially offset byaccounts receivable collections and the net effect of financing activities related to the repayment of the 2012 Notes and issuance of the 2017 Notes. We haveincurred annual operating losses since our inception and, as a result, we had an accumulated deficit of $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2017. We anticipatethat quarterly net cash outflows in future periods will continue to be variable as a result of the timing of certain items, including our purchases of API,payments to our Vascepa co-promotion partner, and anticipated expanded Vascepa promotional activities before REDUCE-IT results which, assumingREDUCE-IT success, will increase more pronouncedly after REDUCE-IT results. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents of $73.6 as of December 31,2017, together with the approximately $65.0 million received in February 2018 from the registered offering, will be sufficient to fund our projectedoperations through the results of the REDUCE-IT study, which we anticipate will be available before the end of the third quarter of 2018 and, assumingpositive results of the REDUCE-IT study, through subsequent public presentation of such results at a medical congress before the end of 2018. Depending onthe level of cash generated from operations, additional capital may be required to expand promotion of Vascepa as contemplated based on anticipatedsuccessful results of the REDUCE-IT study. If additional capital is required and we are unable to obtain additional capital, we may be forced to delay, limit oreliminate all or a portion of the expanded promotional activities planned following successful results of the REDUCE-IT study. We anticipate that quarterlynet cash outflows in future periods will be variable.Contractual ObligationsThe following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2017 and the effects such obligations are expected to have on ourliquidity and cash flows in future periods:Payments Due by Period In millions Total 2018 2019 to2020 2021 to2022 After 2022 Contractual obligations: Purchase obligations (1)$40.1 $11.4 $18.0 $10.7 $— Operating lease obligations (2) 0.8 0.6 0.2 — — Interest payment obligations—exchangeable debt (3) 4.7 1.0 2.1 1.6 — Total contractual cash obligations$45.6 $13.0 $20.3 $12.3 $— (1)We have Vascepa API supply agreements with three independent companies from which we purchase qualified API supply: Nisshin, Chemport andFinorga SAS, or Novasep. We also have encapsulation agreements with three FDA-approved commercial API encapsulators for Vascepamanufacturing: Patheon, Inc. (formerly Banner Pharmacaps, now part of Thermo Fisher Scientific), Catalent Pharma Solutions, and Capsugel PlöermelSAS (now a Lonza company), or Capsugel. Our agreements with Chemport, Novasep, and Capsugel contain minimum annual purchase levels to enableus to maintain certain supply exclusivity and also contain a provision that any shortfall in the minimum purchase commitments is payable in cash.Each supplier is required to meet certain performance obligations and the agreements may be terminated by us in the event of non-performance.(2)Represents operating lease costs, primarily consisting of leases for facilities in Dublin, Ireland and Bedminster, NJ, net of sublease rental income.(3)Represents scheduled interest payments due under the terms of the 2017 Notes, assuming that they have not been exchanged for ADSs prior toJanuary 19, 2022, the put date in the 2017 Notes. The above table does not reflect the repayment of the notes, unless otherwise described, as they maybe exchanged for ADSs prior to maturity.81 Under the terms of the agreement with CPPIB, as successor in interest to BioPharma, we agreed to repay up to $150.0 million of future revenue andreceivables. As of December 31, 2017, the net remaining amount to be repaid is $109.1 million. To date, our revenues have been below the contractualthreshold amount such that each payment made has reflected the calculated optional reduction amount as opposed to the contractual threshold payments foreach quarterly period. As of December 31, 2017, there are no quarterly contractual threshold payments remaining, such that the maximum amount payable issubject only to the calculated threshold limitation based on quarterly Vascepa net revenues. In accordance with the agreement, quarterly differences betweenthe calculated optional reduction amounts and the contractual threshold amounts were rescheduled for payment beginning in the second quarter of 2017 andany such deferred payments will remain subject to continued application of the quarterly ceiling in amounts due established by the calculated thresholdbased on quarterly Vascepa net revenues. No additional interest expense or liability is incurred as a result of such deferred repayments and no cliff payment ofthe remaining balance is due except in the event of Company default or Company change of control. The agreement does not expire until $150.0 million inaggregate has been repaid. We can prepay an amount equal to $150.0 million less any previously repaid amount.We have scheduled interest payments due under the terms of the 2017 Notes, assuming that they remain outstanding through January 19, 2022 andhave not been exchanged for ADSs.Under the 2004 share repurchase agreement with Laxdale Limited, or Laxdale, upon approval of Vascepa by the FDA on July 26, 2012, we wererequired to make a milestone payment to Laxdale of £7.5 million. We made this payment in 2012 and capitalized this Laxdale milestone payment of$11.6 million as a component of other long-term assets. This long-term asset is being amortized over the estimated useful life of the intellectual property weacquired from Laxdale and we recognized amortization expense of $0.6 million in each of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. Also under theLaxdale agreement, upon receipt of marketing approval in Europe for the first indication for Vascepa (or first indication of any product containing AmarinNeuroscience Limited intellectual property acquired from Laxdale in 2004), we must make an aggregate stock or cash payment to the former shareholders ofLaxdale (at the sole option of each of the sellers) of £7.5 million (approximately $10.1 million as of December 31, 2017). Additionally, upon receipt of amarketing approval in the United States or Europe for a further indication of Vascepa (or further indication of any other product using Amarin NeuroscienceLimited intellectual property), we must make an aggregate stock or cash payment (at the sole option of each of the sellers) of £5 million (approximately$6.7 million as of December 31, 2017) for each of the two potential market approvals (i.e. £10 million maximum, or approximately $13.5 million as ofDecember 31, 2017).We do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, we had no outstanding forwardexchange contracts.Off-Balance Sheet ArrangementsWe do not have any special purpose entities or other off-balance sheet arrangements.Shelf Registration StatementOn August 22, 2017, the universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-197936) that we had filed with the SEC on August 7,2014 expired. On March 1, 2017, we filed with the SEC a new universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR (Registration No. 333-216385), whichprovides for the offer, from time to time, of: ordinary shares, which may be represented by American Depositary Shares; preference shares, which may berepresented by American Depositary Shares; senior or subordinated debt securities; warrants to purchase any of these securities; and any combination of thesesecurities, individually or as units. The addition of any newly issued equity securities into the market may be dilutive to existing stockholders and newissuances by us or sales by our selling security holders could have an adverse effect on the price of our securities.Item 7A.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market RiskWe are exposed to market risks, which include changes in interest rates. We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio,and other than in 2013, we enter into no foreign exchange contracts. Our investments meet high credit quality and diversification standards, as specified inour investment policy.Foreign Currency Exchange Risk. Our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in the Euro, Sterling and Yen.The majority of cash and cash equivalents and the majority of our vendor relationships are denominated in U.S. dollars. We therefore believe that the risk of asignificant impact on our operating income from foreign currency fluctuations is not substantial. From time to time, we maintain a small amount of our cashand cash equivalents in Euro and Pound Sterling. We purchase a portion of our supply from Novasep based on a U.S. dollar to Euro exchange rate and assuch, remain subject to currency fluctuation risk for such purchases.Interest Rate Risk. We believe that we are not exposed to significant interest rate risk through market value fluctuations of balance sheet items (i.e.,price risk) or through changes in interest income or expenses (i.e., re-financing or re-investment risk).82 Interest rate risk mainly arises through interest bearing liabilities and assets. We invest funds not needed for near-term operating expenses in diversified short-term investments, consisting primarily of investment grade securities. As of December 31, 2017, the fair value of our cash and cash equivalents maturing inone year or less was $73.6 million and represented 100% of our cash, cash equivalents and investment portfolio. A hypothetical 50 basis point change ininterest rates would not result in a material decrease or increase in the fair value of our securities due to the general short-term nature of our investmentportfolio.Item 8.Financial Statements and Supplementary DataOur consolidated financial statements are annexed to this report beginning on page F-1.Item 9.Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial DisclosureNone.Item 9A.Controls and ProceduresEvaluation of Disclosure Controls and ProceduresWe maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file orsubmit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the timeperiods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer andPrincipal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.As of December 31, 2017 (the “Evaluation Date”), our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal FinancialOfficer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Ourmanagement recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achievingtheir objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. OurPrincipal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded based upon the evaluation described above that, as of the Evaluation Date, ourdisclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial ReportingOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for our company. Internal controlover financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervisionof, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer and effected by our board of directors, management, and other personnel to providereasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance withgenerally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: •pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of our assets; •provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance withgenerally accepted accounting principles; •provide reasonable assurance that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of our management anddirectors; and •provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that couldhave a material effect on the financial statements.Because of inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation ofeffectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliancewith the policies or procedures may deteriorate.Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of ourinternal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017. In conducting this evaluation, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee ofSponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).Based upon this evaluation and those criteria, management believes that, as of December 31, 2017, our internal controls over financial reporting wereeffective.83 Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has audited our consolidated financial statements and the effectiveness of ourinternal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017. This report appears below.Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingThere were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonablylikely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 84 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Amarin Corporation plc Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited Amarin Corporation plc’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In ouropinion, Amarin Corporation plc (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,2017, based on the COSO criteria. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidatedbalance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows foreach of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017 and the related notes and our report dated February 27, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinionthereon. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness ofinternal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Ourresponsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firmregistered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and theapplicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonableassurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing andevaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considerednecessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reportingand the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal controlover financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairlyreflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permitpreparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are beingmade only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention ortimely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation ofeffectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliancewith the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ Ernst & Young LLPIselin, New JerseyFebruary 27, 2018 85 Item 9B.Other InformationEntry into Rule 10b5-1 Trading PlansOur policy governing transactions in our securities by our directors, officers and employees permits our officers, directors and certain other persons toenter into trading plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(“Amarin” or the “Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company with expertise in lipid science focused on the commercialization anddevelopment of therapeutics to improve cardiovascular health.The Company’s lead product, Vascepa® (icosapent ethyl) capsules, is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for use as an adjunct todiet to reduce triglyceride levels in adult patients with severe (TG ≥500 mg/dL) hypertriglyceridemia. Vascepa is available in the United States byprescription only. In January 2013, the Company began selling and marketing 1-gram size Vascepa capsules in the United States, and in October 2016,introduced a smaller 0.5-gram capsule size. In August 2015, in addition to marketing Vascepa for severe hypertriglyceridemia, the Company commencedmarketing Vascepa for use in adult patients with mixed dyslipidemia, as an adjunct to diet and an add-on to statin therapy in patients who despite statintherapy have high triglycerides (TGs ≥200 mg/dL and ≤500 mg/dL), which the Company also refers to as persistently high triglycerides. This expandedpromotion of Vascepa commenced pursuant to a federal court order and is continuing pursuant to an agreement among the Company, the FDA and the U.S.government.The Company is also developing Vascepa for FDA approval of potential additional indications for use. In particular, the Company is conducting acardiovascular outcomes study of Vascepa, titled REDUCE-IT (Reduction of Cardiovascular Events with EPA—Intervention Trial). The REDUCE-IT study,which commenced in 2011 and completed patient enrollment and randomization of 8,175 individual patients in 2016, is designed to evaluate the efficacy ofVascepa in reducing major cardiovascular events in a high-risk patient population on statin therapy. The Company anticipates that results of the REDUCE-ITstudy will be available and made public before the end of the third quarter of 2018.The Company sells Vascepa principally to a limited number of major wholesalers, as well as selected regional wholesalers and specialty pharmacy providers,or collectively, its Distributors or its customers, that in turn resell Vascepa to retail pharmacies for subsequent resale to patients and healthcare providers. TheCompany markets Vascepa through its direct sales force of approximately 165 sales professionals, including sales representatives and their managers, andthrough a co-promotion agreement with Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. Under this co-promotion agreement, which commenced in May 2014 and isscheduled to end at the end of 2018, Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. co-promotes Vascepa in conjunction with its promotion of its primary product, abranded statin for patients with high cholesterol. The Company operates in one business segment.Basis of PresentationThe consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States of America (the “U.S.” or the “United States”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or theSEC.The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to presentfairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. The preparation of the Company’s consolidatedfinancial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptionsthat affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reportedamounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 are notnecessarily indicative of the results for any future period. Certain numbers presented throughout this document may not add precisely to the totals provideddue to rounding. Absolute and percentage changes are calculated using the underlying amounts in thousands. Certain prior year balances related to deferredtax assets and liabilities and the provision for income taxes have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications do nothave a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and subsidiaries have been prepared on a basis which assumes that the Company willcontinue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.At December 31, 2017, the Company had current assets of $153.3 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $73.6 million. The Company’sconsolidated balance sheets also include long-term debt from a royalty-bearing instrument and exchangeable senior notes. In January 2017, the Companyissued $30.0 million in aggregate principal amount of January 2017 3.5% exchangeable senior notes due 2047, or the 2017 Notes. The terms of the 2017Notes are such that they may be redeemed by the Company for cash on or after January 19, 2021 and may be put back to the Company by the holders onJanuary 19, 2022 for cash equal to 100% of the principalF-7 amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The 2017 Notes are exchangeable into American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) at the option of holders at anytime after issuance and prior to maturity and are exchangeable into ADSs at the option of the Company upon satisfaction of certain equity conditions.Accordingly, the exchangeable senior notes do not represent a short-term claim on the liquid assets of the Company as of December 31, 2017. The terms ofthe Company’s January 2012 3.5% exchangeable senior notes due 2032, or the 2012 Notes, which were repaid in full during the first quarter of 2017, allowedfor repurchase in cash by the Company at the option of the holders on January 19, 2017, as well as redemption by the Company for cash of all or part of the2012 Notes on or after January 19, 2017, both at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2012 Notes to be repurchased or redeemed, plusaccrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase or redemption date. Accordingly, $15.1 million in principal amount of 2012 Notes representeda short-term claim on the liquid assets of the Company as of December 31, 2016. Refer to Note 8—Debt for further discussion.In February 2018, the Company received approximately $65.0 million of net proceeds from a registered offering of its ADSs (refer to Note 18—SubsequentEvents for further discussion). The Company believes its cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its projected operations through the results ofthe REDUCE-IT study, which we anticipate will be available before the end of the third quarter of 2018 and, assuming positive results of the REDUCE-ITstudy, through subsequent public presentation of such results at a medical congress before the end of 2018. Depending on the level of cash generated fromoperations, additional capital may be required to expand promotion of Vascepa as contemplated following anticipated successful results of the REDUCE-ITstudy. If additional capital is required and the Company is unable to obtain additional capital, the Company may be forced to delay, limit or eliminate all or aportion of the expanded promotional activities planned following successful results of the REDUCE-IT study. The Company anticipates that annual net cashoutflows in future periods will be variable.(2) Significant Accounting PoliciesPrinciples of ConsolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactionshave been eliminated in consolidation.Use of EstimatesAccounting estimates are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates are used indetermining such items as provisions for sales returns, rebates and incentives, chargebacks, and other sales allowances; depreciable/amortizable lives; assetimpairments; valuation allowance on deferred taxes; probabilities of achievement of performance conditions for certain equity awards; amounts recorded forlicensing revenue; contingencies and accruals; and valuations of derivative and long-term debt instruments. Because of the uncertainties inherent in suchestimates, actual results may differ from these estimates. Management periodically evaluates estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financialstatements for continued reasonableness.Use of Forecasted Financial Information in Accounting EstimatesThe use of forecasted financial information is inherent in many of the Company’s accounting estimates including, but not limited to, determining theestimated fair values of derivatives, debt instruments and intangible assets, evaluating the need for valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, and assessingthe Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Such forecasted financial information is comprised of numerous assumptions regarding the Company’sfuture revenues, cash flows, and operational results. Management believes that its financial forecasts are reasonable and appropriate based upon current factsand circumstances. Because of the inherent nature of forecasts, however, actual results may differ from these forecasts. Management regularly reviews theinformation related to these forecasts and adjusts the carrying amounts of the applicable assets prospectively, if and when actual results differ from previousestimates.Revenue RecognitionThe Company sells Vascepa principally to a limited number of major wholesalers, as well as selected regional wholesalers and specialty pharmacy providers,or collectively, its Distributors or its customers, that in turn resell Vascepa to retail pharmacies for subsequent resale to patients and healthcare providers.Patients are required to have a prescription in order to purchase Vascepa. In accordance with GAAP, the Company’s revenue recognition policy requires that:(i) there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists between the Company and the Distributor, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) collectability isreasonably assured and (iv) the price is fixed or determinable.The Company has contracts with its primary Distributors and delivery generally occurs when a Distributor receives Vascepa. The Company evaluates thecreditworthiness of each of its Distributors to determine whether revenues can be recognized upon delivery, subject to satisfaction of the other requirements,or whether recognition is required to be delayed until receipt of payment. In order to conclude that the price is fixed or determinable, the Company must beable to (i) calculate its gross product revenues from the sales toF-8 Distributors and (ii) reasonably estimate its net product revenues. The Company calculates gross product revenues generally based on the wholesaleacquisition cost that the Company charges its Distributors for Vascepa. The Company estimates its net product revenues by deducting from its gross productrevenues (a) trade allowances, such as invoice discounts for prompt payment and distributor fees, (b) estimated government and private payor rebates,chargebacks and discounts, such as Medicaid reimbursements, (c) reserves for expected product returns and (d) estimated costs of incentives offered to certainindirect customers, including patients.Trade Allowances: The Company generally provides invoice discounts on Vascepa sales to its Distributors for prompt payment and pays feesfor distribution services, such as fees for certain data that Distributors provide to the Company. The payment terms for sales to Distributors generallyinclude a 2% discount for prompt payment while the fees for distribution services are based on contractual rates agreed with the respectiveDistributors. Based on judgment and experience, the Company expects its Distributors to earn these discounts and fees, and deducts the full amount ofthese discounts and fees from its gross product revenues and accounts receivable at the time such revenues are recognized.Rebates, Chargebacks and Discounts: The Company contracts with Medicaid, other government agencies and various private organizations, orcollectively, Third-party Payors, so that Vascepa will be eligible for purchase by, or partial or full reimbursement from, such Third-party Payors. TheCompany estimates the rebates, chargebacks and discounts it will provide to Third-party Payors and deducts these estimated amounts from its grossproduct revenues at the time the revenues are recognized. The Company estimates the rebates, chargebacks and discounts that it will provide to Third-party Payors based upon (i) the Company’s contracts with these Third-party Payors, (ii) the government-mandated discounts applicable togovernment-funded programs, (iii) information obtained from the Company’s Distributors and (iv) information obtained from other third partiesregarding the payor mix for Vascepa.Product Returns: The Company’s Distributors have the right to return unopened unprescribed Vascepa during the 18-month period beginningsix months prior to the labeled expiration date and ending twelve months after the labeled expiration date. The expiration date for Vascepa is threeyears after it has been converted into capsule form, which is the last step in the manufacturing process for Vascepa and generally occurs within a fewmonths before Vascepa is delivered to Distributors. The Company estimates future product returns on sales of Vascepa based on: (i) data provided tothe Company by its Distributors (including weekly reporting of Distributors’ sales and inventory held by Distributors that provided the Company withvisibility into the distribution channel in order to determine what quantities were sold to retail pharmacies and other providers), (ii) informationprovided to the Company from retail pharmacies, (iii) data provided to the Company by a third-party data provider which collects and publishesprescription data, and other third parties, (iv) historical industry information regarding return rates for similar pharmaceutical products, (v) theestimated remaining shelf life of Vascepa previously shipped and currently being shipped to Distributors and (vi) contractual agreements intended tolimit the amount of inventory maintained by the Company’s Distributors.Other Incentives: Other incentives that the Company offers to indirect customers include co-pay mitigation rebates provided by the Companyto commercially insured patients who have coverage for Vascepa and who reside in states that permit co-pay mitigation programs. The Company’s co-pay mitigation program is intended to reduce each participating patient’s portion of the financial responsibility for Vascepa’s purchase price to aspecified dollar amount. Based upon the terms of the program and information regarding programs provided for similar specialty pharmaceuticalproducts, the Company estimates the average co-pay mitigation amounts and the percentage of patients that it expects to participate in the program inorder to establish its accruals for co-pay mitigation rebates and deducts these estimated amounts from its gross product revenues at the time therevenues are recognized. The Company adjusts its accruals for co-pay mitigation rebates based on actual redemption activity and estimates regardingthe portion of issued co-pay mitigation rebates that it estimates will be redeemed.F-9 The following table summarizes activity in each of the net product revenue allowance and reserve categories described above for the years endedDecember 31, 2017 and 2016: In thousands TradeAllowances Rebates,Chargebacksand Discounts ProductReturns OtherIncentives Total Balance as of January 1, 2016 $4,296 $9,881 $535 $1,084 $15,796 Provision related to current period sales 22,952 69,370 583 11,696 104,601 Provision related to prior period sales (87) (450) — — (537)Credits/payments made for current period sales (19,213) (48,719) — (9,815) (77,747)Credits/payments made for prior period sales (4,205) (9,167) (259) (1,284) (14,915)Balance as of December 31, 2016 3,743 20,915 859 1,681 27,198 Provision related to current period sales 35,067 126,903 1,480 15,081 178,531 Provision related to prior period sales (323) (682) — (70) (1,075)Credits/payments made for current period sales (23,087) (96,181) (344) (12,773) (132,385)Credits/payments made for prior period sales (3,365) (18,891) (108) (1,812) (24,176)Balance as of December 31, 2017 $12,035 $32,064 $1,887 $2,107 $48,093 Such net product revenue allowances and reserves are included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets,with the exception of trade allowances and chargebacks, which are included within accounts receivable, net as discussed below. Multiple-Element Arrangements and Licensing RevenueWhen evaluating multiple-element arrangements, the Company identifies the deliverables included within the agreement and evaluates which deliverablesrepresent separate units of accounting based on whether the delivered element has stand-alone value to the customer or if the arrangement includes a generalright of return for delivered items.The consideration received is allocated between each of the separable elements in the arrangement using the relative selling price method. The selling priceused for each separable element will be based on vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) if available, third-party evidence if VSOE is not available, orestimated selling price if neither VSOE nor third-party evidence is available. Revenue is then recognized as each of the separable elements to which therevenue has been allocated is delivered.The Company may receive up-front, non-refundable payments when licensing its intellectual property in conjunction with research, development andcommercialization agreements. In determining the units of accounting, management evaluates whether the license has stand-alone value from theundelivered elements to the collaborative partner based on the consideration of the relevant facts and circumstances for each arrangement. Factors consideredin this determination include the stage of development of the license delivered, research and development capabilities of the partner and the ability ofpartners to develop and commercialize Vascepa independent of the Company.When management believes the license to its intellectual property does not have stand-alone value from the other deliverables to be provided in thearrangement, the Company generally recognizes revenue attributable to the license over the Company’s contractual or estimated performance period. Anyunrecognized portion of license revenue is classified within deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. When management believesthe license to its intellectual property has stand-alone value, the Company recognizes revenue attributed to the license upon delivery. The periods overwhich revenue is recognized is subject to estimates by management and may change over the course of the agreement. Such a change could have a materialimpact on the amount of revenue the Company records in future periods.MilestonesContingent consideration from activities that is earned upon the achievement of a substantive milestone is recognized in its entirety in the period in whichthe milestone is achieved. At the inception of each arrangement that includes milestone payments, the Company evaluates whether each milestone issubstantive. This evaluation includes an assessment of whether: (a) the consideration is commensurate with either (1) the entity’s performance to achieve themilestone, or (2) the enhancement of the value of the delivered item(s) as a result of a specific outcome resulting from the entity’s performance to achieve themilestone, (b) the consideration relates solely to past performance and (c) the consideration is reasonable relative to all of the deliverables and payment termswithin the arrangement. The Company evaluates factors such as the scientific, clinical, regulatory, commercial and other risks that must be overcome toachieve the respective milestone, the level of effort and investment required and whether the milestone consideration is reasonable relative to all deliverablesand payment terms in the arrangement in making this assessment.F-10 See Note 17—Development, Commercialization and Supply Agreements for further information regarding licensing revenue and milestones.Distribution CostsThe Company records distribution costs related to shipping product to its customers, primarily through the use of common carriers or external distributionservices, in cost of goods sold. Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted CashCash and cash equivalents consist of cash, deposits with banks and short-term highly liquid money market instruments with remaining maturities at the dateof purchase of 90 days or less. Restricted cash represents cash and cash equivalents pledged to guarantee repayment of certain expenses which may beincurred for business travel under corporate credit cards held by employees.Accounts Receivable, netAccounts receivable, net, comprised of trade receivables, are generally due within 30 days and are stated at amounts due from customers. The Companyrecognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of any recoveries. The allowance is basedprimarily on assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible, as well as an analysis of current receivables aging andexpected future write-offs. The expense associated with the allowance for doubtful accounts is recognized as selling, general, and administrative expense.The Company has not historically experienced any significant credit losses.The following table summarizes the impact of accounts receivable reserves on the gross trade accounts receivable balances as of December 31, 2017 and2016: In thousands December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Gross trade accounts receivable $57,802 $24,127 Trade allowances (12,035) (3,743)Chargebacks (449) (387)Allowance for doubtful accounts — (12)Accounts receivable, net $45,318 $19,985InventoryThe Company states inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined based on actual cost using the average cost method. Netrealizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation.An allowance is established when management determines that certain inventories may not be saleable. If inventory cost exceeds expected net realizablevalue due to obsolescence, damage or quantities in excess of expected demand, changes in price levels or other causes, the Company will reduce the carryingvalue of such inventory to net realizable value and recognize the difference as a component of cost of goods sold in the period in which it occurs. TheCompany capitalizes inventory purchases of saleable product from approved suppliers while inventory purchases from suppliers prior to regulatory approvalare included as a component of research and development expense. The Company expenses inventory identified for use as marketing samples when they arepackaged. The average cost reflects the actual purchase price of Vascepa active pharmaceutical ingredient, or API.Property, Plant and EquipmentThe Company provides for depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method by charges to operations in amounts that depreciate the cost of thefixed asset over its estimated useful life. The estimated useful lives, by asset classification, are as follows: Asset Classification Useful LivesComputer equipment and software 3 - 5 yearsFurniture and fixtures 5 yearsLeasehold improvements Lesser of useful life or lease term Upon retirement or sale of assets, the cost of the assets disposed and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated balance sheetand any resulting gain or loss is credited or expensed to operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.F-11 Long-Lived Asset ImpairmentThe Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets maynot be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operation to which the assetsrelate to their carrying amount. If impairment is indicated, the assets are written down to fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted forecastedcash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets.Intangible Asset, netIntangible asset, net consists of a milestone payment paid to the former shareholders of Laxdale Limited related to the 2004 acquisition of the rights toVascepa, which is the result of Vascepa receiving marketing approval for the first indication and is amortized over its estimated useful life on a straight-linebasis. See Note 9—Commitments and Contingencies for further information regarding other obligations related to the acquisition of Laxdale Limited.Beneficial Conversion FeaturesThe Company issued Series A preference shares in a private placement transaction executed in two tranches that each contain a conversion feature wherebysuch shares are convertible into ordinary shares at a fixed rate. The conversion price on the date of issuance was less than the market price of the Company’sordinary shares. It was determined that these discounts represent contingent beneficial conversion features, which were valued based on the differencebetween the conversion price and the market price of the ordinary shares on the date of issuance, which is the commitment date. These features are analogousto preference dividends and were each recorded as a non-cash return to preferred shareholders through accumulated deficit upon the earliest possible date ofconversion, which occurred in the second quarter of 2015 upon effectiveness of the related resale Registration Statement on Form S-3 and in the third quarterof 2015 upon shareholder approval received at the Company’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. See Note 10—Equity for further discussion.Costs for Patent Litigation and Legal ProceedingsCosts for patent litigation or other legal proceedings are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses.Research and Development CostsThe Company charges research and development costs to operations as incurred. Research and development expenses are comprised of costs incurred by theCompany in performing research and development activities, including: salary and benefits; stock-based compensation expense; laboratory supplies andother direct expenses; contractual services, including clinical trial and pharmaceutical development costs; commercial supply investment in its drugcandidates; and infrastructure costs, including facilities costs and depreciation expense. In addition, research and development costs include the costs ofproduct supply received from suppliers when such receipt by the Company is prior to regulatory approval of the supplier.Selling, General and Administrative CostsThe Company charges selling, general and administrative costs to operations as incurred. Selling, general and administrative costs include salaries andbenefits, stock-based compensation expense, and costs of programs and infrastructure necessary for the general conduct of the Company’s business, includingthose incurred as a result of the commercialization of Vascepa in the United States as well as co-promotion fees payable to Kowa Pharmaceuticals America,Inc.Income TaxesDeferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets andliabilities and operating loss carryforwards and other attributes using enacted rates expected to be in effect when those differences reverse. Valuationallowances are provided against deferred tax assets that are not more likely than not to be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current in the consolidated balance sheet.The Company provides reserves for potential payments of tax to various tax authorities or does not recognize tax benefits related to uncertain tax positionsand other issues. Tax benefits for uncertain tax positions are based on a determination of whether a tax benefit taken by the Company in its tax filings orpositions is more likely than not to be realized, assuming that the matter in question will be decided based on its technical merits. The Company’s policy isto record interest and penalties in the provision for income taxes.The Company regularly assesses its ability to realize deferred tax assets. Changes in historical earnings performance, future earnings projections, and changesin tax laws and tax rates, among other factors, may cause the Company to adjust its valuation allowance onF-12 deferred tax assets, which would impact the Company’s income tax expense in the period in which it is determined that these factors have changed.In April 2016, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvementsto Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which changes the accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. One aspect of thestandard requires that excess tax benefits and deficiencies that arise upon vesting or exercise of share-based payments be recognized as an income tax benefitand expense in the income statement. Previously, such amounts were recognized as an increase and decrease in additional paid-in capital. This aspect of thestandard was adopted prospectively and, accordingly, the provisions for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 include $1.3 millionof excess tax benefits and $0.4 million of excess tax deficiencies, respectively, arising from share-based payments. Additionally, the new standard requiresthat historical excess tax benefits that were not previously recognized because the related tax deduction had not reduced current taxes payable should berecognized on a modified retrospective basis as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the annual period of adoption.Consequently, the Company recognized deferred tax assets of approximately $1.6 million relating to excess tax benefits on stock-based compensationoutstanding as of December 31, 2015, with a corresponding cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit. The standard also amended the presentationof employee share-based payment-related items in the statement of cash flows by requiring that: (i) excess income tax benefits and deficiencies be classifiedin cash flows from operating activities, and (ii) cash paid to taxing authorities arising from the withholding of shares from employees be classified as cashflows from financing activities. The Company adopted the aspects of the standard affecting cash flow presentation retrospectively and, accordingly,reclassified $0.7 million of excess tax benefit from cash flows provided by financing activities to cash flows used in operating activities in the consolidatedstatement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2015. The presentation requirement for cash flows related to taxes paid for withheld shares had noimpact on the consolidated statements of cash flows since such payments have historically been presented as a financing activity.The Company’s and its subsidiaries’ income tax returns are periodically examined by various tax authorities. The Company is currently undergoing federaland state audits, including audit by the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the years 2013 to 2014. Although the outcome of tax audits isalways uncertain and could result in significant cash tax payments, the Company does not believe the outcome of these audits will have a material adverseeffect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.Loss per ShareBasic net loss per share is determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net lossper share is determined by dividing net loss by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted weighted average shares reflects the dilutive effect, ifany, of potentially dilutive common shares, such as common stock options and warrants calculated using the treasury stock method and convertible notesusing the “if-converted” method. In periods with reported net operating losses, all common stock options and warrants are deemed anti-dilutive such thatbasic net loss per share and diluted net loss per share are equal. However, in certain periods in which there is a gain recorded pursuant to the change in fairvalue of the warrant derivative liability, for diluted net loss per share purposes, the impact of such gains is reversed and the treasury stock method is used todetermine diluted net loss per share.The Company’s preferred stock is entitled to receive dividends on an as-if-converted basis in the same form as dividends actually paid on common shares.Accordingly, the preferred stock is considered a participating security and the Company is required to apply the two-class method to consider the impact ofthe preferred stock on the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. The Company is currently in a net loss position and is therefore not required topresent the two-class method, however, in the event the Company is in a net income position, the two-class method must be applied by allocating all earningsduring the period to common shares and preferred stock based on their contractual entitlements assuming all earnings were distributed.The calculation of net loss and the number of shares used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and2015 are as follows: In thousands 2017 2016 2015 Net loss $(67,865) $(86,350) $(115,204)Preferred stock purchase option (see Note 10—Equity) — — (868)Preferred stock beneficial conversion features (see Note 10—Equity) — — (32,987)Net loss applicable to common shareholders—basic and diluted (67,865) (86,350) (149,059)Weighted average shares outstanding—basic and diluted 270,652 211,874 180,654 Net loss per share—basic and diluted $(0.25) $(0.41) $(0.83) F-13 For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the following potentially dilutive securities were not included in the computation of net loss pershare because the effect would be anti-dilutive: In thousands 2017 2016 2015 Stock options 24,108 21,188 17,818 Restricted stock and restricted stock units 12,006 10,143 10,887 Exchangeable senior notes (if converted) 7,716 1,714 59,407 Preferred stock (if converted) 32,818 32,818 32,818 Debt InstrumentsDebt instruments are initially recorded at fair value, with coupon interest and amortization of debt issuance discounts recognized in the consolidatedstatement of operations as interest expense each period in which such instruments are outstanding. The Company records debt issuance costs related to arecognized debt liability in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability and amortized to interestexpense using the effective interest method over the expected term of the related debt. Unamortized debt issuance costs related to the extinguishment of debtare expensed at the time the debt is extinguished and recorded in other income (expense), net, in the consolidated statements of operations. If the Companyissues shares to discharge the liability, the debt obligation is derecognized and common stock and additional paid-in capital are recognized on the issuanceof those shares.The 2012 Notes could be settled in any combination of ADSs or cash, at the Company’s discretion, upon conversion and were therefore accounted for inaccordance with ASC 470-20. Under ASC 470-20, the fair value of the liability component of the 2012 Notes was determined and deducted from the initialproceeds to determine the proceeds allocated to the conversion option, which was recorded in equity. The difference between the initial fair value of theliability component and the amount repayable was fully amortized over the expected term of the instrument. The conversion feature in the 2012 Notesqualified for the exception from derivative accounting in accordance with ASC 815-40. The terms of the 2012 Notes also allowed for repurchase in cash bythe Company at the option of the holders as well as redemption by the Company for cash at specified times. Consequently, in January 2017, holders of the2012 Notes exercised their option to put approximately $15.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2012 Notes to the Company for cash and, in March2017, the Company redeemed the entirety of the remaining $0.1 million in aggregate principal amount of 2012 Notes, such that no 2012 Notes remainedoutstanding as of December 31, 2017. The carrying value of the conversion option will remain in equity hereafter as a result of the repayment in full of therelated debt instrument.The 2017 Notes can only be settled in ADSs upon conversion. The terms of the 2017 Notes also allow for repurchase in cash by the Company at the option ofthe holders as well as redemption by the Company for cash at specified times. The conversion feature in the 2017 Notes qualifies for the exception fromderivative accounting in accordance with ASC 815-40 and is therefore accounted for as part of the debt host. The conversion feature in the 2017 Notes willcontinue to be evaluated on a quarterly basis to determine if it still receives an exception from derivative accounting in accordance with ASC 815-40. The2017 Notes were recognized at par of $30.0 million. The Company also recognized a $1.2 million discount related to placement agent fees and offeringexpenses. This discount is being amortized through interest expense over the expected term of the 2017 Notes, through the first optional put date in January2022.See Note 8—Debt for further discussion.Stock-Based CompensationStock-based compensation cost is generally measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as compensation expense overthe requisite service period. For awards with performance conditions, if the achievement of the performance conditions is deemed probable, the Companyrecognizes compensation expense based on the fair value of the award over the estimated service period. The Company reassesses the probability ofachievement of the performance conditions for such awards each reporting period. The Company estimates the level of forfeitures expected to occur based onits historical data and records compensation cost only for those awards that are ultimately expected to vest. See Note 12—Stock Incentive Plans and Stock-Based Compensation for further discussion.Concentration of Credit RiskFinancial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. TheCompany maintains substantially all of its cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions believed to be of high-credit quality.A significant portion of the Company’s sales are to wholesalers in the pharmaceutical industry. The Company monitors the creditworthiness of customers towhom it grants credit terms and has not experienced any credit losses. The Company does not requireF-14 collateral or any other security to support credit sales. Three customers individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s gross product sales.Customers A, B, and C accounted for 33%, 28%, and 27%, respectively, of gross product sales for the year ended December 31, 2017 and represented 21%,41%, and 27%, respectively, of the gross accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2017. Customers A, B, and C accounted for 37%, 30%, and 28%,respectively, of gross product sales for the year ended December 31, 2016 and represented 33%, 16%, and 47%, respectively, of the gross accounts receivablebalance as of December 31, 2016. The Company has not experienced any significant write-offs of its accounts receivable. Concentration of SuppliersThe Company has contractual freedom to source the API for Vascepa and has entered into supply agreements with multiple suppliers. The Company’s supplyof product for commercial sale and clinical trials is dependent upon relationships with third-party manufacturers and key suppliers.The Company cannot provide assurance that its efforts to procure uninterrupted supply of Vascepa to meet market demand will continue to be successful orthat it will be able to renew current supply agreements on favorable terms or at all. Significant alteration to or termination of the Company’s current supplychain or its failure to enter into new and similar agreements in a timely fashion, if needed, could have a material adverse effect on its business, condition(financial and other), prospects or results of operations.The Company currently has manufacturing agreements with three FDA-approved commercial API manufacturers and encapsulators for Vascepamanufacturing. Each of these companies has qualified its manufacturing processes and is capable of manufacturing Vascepa. There can be no guarantee thatthese or other suppliers with which the Company may contract in the future to encapsulate API will remain qualified to manufacture the product to itsspecifications or that these and any future suppliers will have the manufacturing capacity to meet anticipated demand for Vascepa.Foreign CurrencyAll subsidiaries use the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are remeasured into U.S.dollars at period-end exchange rates. Gains and losses from the remeasurement are included in other income (expense), net, in the consolidated statements ofoperations. For transactions settled during the applicable period, gains and losses are included in other income (expense), net, in the consolidated statementsof operations. Certain amounts payable pursuant to supply contracts are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsThe Company provides disclosure of financial assets and financial liabilities that are carried at fair value based on the price that would be received upon saleof an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements may beclassified based on the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities using the following three levels:Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at themeasurement date.Level 2—Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in marketsthat are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.) and inputs that are derivedprincipally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).Level 3—Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 that are measured at fair value on arecurring basis and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value: December 31, 2017 In thousands Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Asset: Cash equivalents—money markets $9,317 $9,317 $— $—F-15 December 31, 2016 In thousands Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Asset: Cash equivalents—money markets $14,238 $14,238 $— $— The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. Thecarrying amounts and the estimated fair values of debt instruments as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 are as follows: December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 In thousands CarryingValue EstimatedFair Value CarryingValue EstimatedFair Value Current portion of long-term debt from royalty-bearing instrument, net of accrued interest $21,569 $8,437 Long-term debt from royalty-bearing instrument 70,834 85,155 Total long-term debt from royalty-bearing instrument $92,403 $88,000 $93,592 $90,500 2012 Notes — — 15,107 15,174 2017 Notes 28,992 38,200 — —The estimated fair value of the long-term debt from royalty-bearing instrument pursuant to the December 2012 financing is calculated utilizing the sameLevel 3 inputs utilized in valuing the related derivative liability (see Derivative Liabilities below). The estimated fair value of the 2012 Notes and 2017Notes is calculated based on Level 1 quoted bond prices or, in the absence of quoted bond prices, is calculated using a Level 3 binomial model. The carryingvalue of the 2012 Notes as of December 31, 2016 did not include a debt discount, as it had been fully amortized as non-cash interest expense over theexpected term of the 2012 Notes, which was calculated to be a period of twenty-four months. During the first quarter of 2017, the Company repurchased$15.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2012 Notes at the option of holders and redeemed the remaining $0.1 million in aggregate principal amountat the Company’s option, such that no 2012 Notes remained outstanding as of December 31, 2017. The carrying value of the 2017 Notes as of December 31,2017 includes a debt discount of $1.0 million, which is being amortized as non-cash interest expense over the expected term of the 2017 Notes, through thefirst optional put date in January 2022.Derivative LiabilitiesDerivative financial liabilities are recorded at fair value, with gains and losses arising for changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement ofoperations at each period end while such instruments are outstanding. If the Company issues shares to discharge the liability, the derivative financial liabilityis derecognized and common stock and additional paid-in capital are recognized on the issuance of those shares.Long-Term Debt Redemption FeaturesThe Company’s December 2012 royalty-bearing instrument financing arrangement (discussed in Note 8—Debt) contains a redemption feature whereby, upona change of control, the Company would be required to repay $150.0 million, less any previously repaid amount. The Company determined this redemptionfeature to be an embedded derivative, which is carried at fair value and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significantunobservable inputs. The fair value of the embedded derivative was calculated using a probability-weighted model incorporating management estimates offuture revenues and for a potential change in control, and by determining the fair value of the debt with and without the change in control provisionincluded.The difference between the two was determined to be the fair value of the embedded derivative. The fair value of this derivative liability is remeasured ateach reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2017, the fair value of thederivative was determined to be nil based on current assumptions, and the debt was valued by comparing debt issues of similar companies with (i) remainingterms of between 2.3 and 4.3 years, (ii) coupon rates of between 5.8% and 10.8% and (iii) market yields of between 10.2% and 18.4%. As of December 31,2016, the fair value of the derivative was determined to be nil, and the debt was valued by comparing debt issues of similar companies with (i) remainingterms of between 2.4 and 5.0 years, (ii) coupon rates of between 8.1% and 11.1% and (iii) market yields of between 11.9% and 18.4%. As such, the Companyrecognized no gain on change in fair value of derivative liability for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company recognized a $5.5 million gain onchange in fair value of derivative liability for the year ended December 31, 2016.F-16 The Company’s 2014 Notes and 2015 Notes each contained a redemption feature whereby, upon occurrence of a change in control, the Company would havebeen required to repurchase the notes. The Company determined these redemption features to be embedded derivatives, requiring bifurcation in accordancewith ASC 815. The derivatives were carried at fair value and were classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservableinputs. The fair value of each embedded derivative was calculated using a probability-weighted model incorporating management estimates of theprobability of a change in control occurring, and by determining the fair value of the debt with and without the change in control provision included. Thedifference between the two was determined to be the fair value of the embedded derivative. The fair value of these derivative liabilities was remeasured ateach reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. These derivative liabilities were derecognized inSeptember 2016, as the related debt hosts were exchanged into equity, and therefore no gain or loss on change in fair value of derivative liability wasrecognized for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company recognized a gain on change in fair value of derivative liability for the 2014 Notes and2015 Notes of $2.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2016.Warrant Derivative LiabilityThe Company’s warrant derivative liability (discussed in Note 7—Warrants and Warrant Derivative Liability) was carried at fair value and was classified asLevel 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. During the year ended December 31, 2015 of the 8,087,388 warrantsoutstanding as of December 31, 2014, 1,844,585 warrants were exercised while the remaining 6,242,803 warrants expired and the related derivative liabilitywas extinguished. As such, no warrants were outstanding as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.Preferred Stock Purchase Option Derivative LiabilityPursuant to a pre-existing contractual right to participate in certain private placement transactions effected by the Company in connection with thesubscription agreement executed on March 5, 2015, the Company determined that such right represented a derivative liability (see Note 10—Equity). Thispreferred stock purchase option derivative liability was carried at fair value and classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significantunobservable inputs. The fair value of this liability was calculated using a Black-Scholes model and was determined to be $0.9 million at inception. OnMarch 30, 2015, this right was exercised and the liability was marked to fair value through such date, resulting in a charge of $0.9 million through gain (loss)on change in fair value of derivatives in the year ended December 31, 2015. The liability was then reclassified to permanent equity on such date.Any changes in the assumptions used to value the derivative liabilities, including the probability of a change in control, could result in a material change tothe carrying value of such liabilities.Segment and Geographical InformationOperating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis bythe chief operating decision-maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performanceof the segment. The Company currently operates in one business segment, which is the development and commercialization of Vascepa. A singlemanagement team that reports to the Company’s chief decision-maker, who is the Chief Executive Officer, comprehensively manages the business.Accordingly, the Company does not have separately reportable segments.Recent Accounting PronouncementsFrom time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, and are early adopted by theCompany or adopted as of the specified effective date. The Company also considered the following recent accounting pronouncements which were not yetadopted as of December 31, 2017:In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation: Scope of ModificationAccounting. The amendments in ASU No. 2017-09 provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award requirean entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interimperiods within those fiscal years. The Company has evaluated the accounting, transition and disclosure requirements of these standards and does not expectthem to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,which is intended to reduce diversity in practice regarding how certain cash receipts and cash payments related to eight specific issues are presented andclassified in the statement of cash flows. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash,which requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change duringF-17 the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. For each of these ASUs, thenew guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has evaluatedthe accounting, transition and disclosure requirements of these standards and does not expect them to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidatedfinancial statements.In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (ReportingRevenue Gross versus Net), which clarifies that an entity is a principal when it controls the specified good or service before that good or service is transferredto the customer, and is an agent when it does not control the specified good or service before it is transferred to the customer. The new guidance is intended toimprove the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarifies the following twoaspects of Topic 606: (a) identifying performance obligations; and (b) the licensing implementation guidance. Further, in May 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which provides clarifyingguidance in certain narrow areas and adds some practical expedients. The amendments do not change the core principles of the guidance in Topic 606 andare effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. The Company has evaluated the accounting, transition and disclosure requirements ofthese standards in connection with its evaluation of ASU 2014-09 as discussed below and does not expect them to have a material impact on the Company’sconsolidated financial statements.In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new guidance will require lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a leaseliability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). The liability will be equal to the present value of leasepayments. The asset will be based on the liability, subject to adjustment, such as for initial direct costs. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largelyunchanged but certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new lease guidance also simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lesseesmust recognize lease assets and lease liabilities and therefore, will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. The new guidance iseffective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company iscurrently evaluating the accounting, transition and disclosure requirements of the standard and cannot currently estimate the financial statement impact ofadoption.In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assetsand Financial Liabilities. The new guidance is intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments by requiring separatepresentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables) withinthe balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements, eliminating the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s)and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost within thebalance sheet, requiring public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes,requiring equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to bemeasured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, and requiring a reporting organization to present separately in othercomprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk (alsoreferred to as “own credit”) when the organization has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financialinstruments, among others. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscalyears. The Company is currently evaluating the accounting, transition and disclosure requirements of the standard and cannot currently estimate the financialstatement impact of adoption.In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which will replace numerous requirements in U.S.GAAP, including industry-specific requirements. This guidance provides a five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers, with an underlyingprinciple that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to inexchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein.An entity can elect to apply the guidance under one of the following two methods: (i) retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, referred to asthe full retrospective method, or (ii) retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial applicationin retained earnings, referred to as the modified retrospective method. The Company will adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2018 and will apply themodified retrospective method.The Company has completed its assessment of adopting ASU No. 2014-09 for net product revenues and contract revenues generated by its licenseagreements. The assessment consisted of a review of a representative sample of contracts, discussions with key stakeholders, and a cataloging of potentialimpacts on its internal statements, accounting policies, financial control, and operations. F-18 The Company does not expect significant changes in the amounts or timing of revenue recognition for net product revenues which is its primary revenuestream. For contract revenues generated by its license agreements, the Company expects to recognize an immaterial cumulative-effect adjustment to itsaccumulated deficit. The Company is also evaluating the new disclosures required by the standard to determine what additional information will need to bedisclosed.The Company believes that the impact of other recently issued but not yet adopted accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on theCompany’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, or do not apply to the Company’s operations.(3) Intangible AssetIntangible asset consists of the historical acquisition cost of certain technology rights for Vascepa and has an estimated weighted-average remaining usefullife of 12.6 years. The carrying value as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 is as follows: In thousands December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Technology rights $11,624 $11,624 Accumulated amortization (3,498) (2,852)Intangible asset, net $8,126 $8,772 Amortization expense for each of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $0.6 million and is included in research and development expense.Estimated future amortization expense, based upon the Company’s intangible asset, as of December 31, 2017 is as follows: In thousands Year Ending December 31, Amount 2018 $646 2019 646 2020 646 2021 646 2022 646 Thereafter 4,896 Total $8,126 (4) InventoryThe Company capitalizes its purchases of saleable inventory of Vascepa from suppliers that have been qualified by the FDA. Inventories as of December 31,2017 and 2016 consist of the following: In thousands December 31,2017 December 31,2016 Raw materials $7,044 $4,430 Work in process 10,844 10,716 Finished goods 12,372 5,361 Inventory $30,260 $20,507(5) Property, Plant and EquipmentF-19 Property, plant and equipment as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 consist of the following: In thousands December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Leasehold improvements$156 $157 Computer equipment 63 63 Furniture and fixtures 66 42 Software 559 559 844 821 Accumulated depreciation and amortization (816) (755)Construction in progress — 12 Property, plant and equipment, net$28 $78Depreciation expense for each of the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015 was $0.1 million, $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.(6) Accrued Expenses and Other Current LiabilitiesAccrued expenses and other current liabilities consist of the following as of December 31, 2017 and 2016: In thousands December31, 2017 December 31,2016 Payroll and payroll-related expenses$8,298 $6,611 Research and development expenses 1,772 293 Sales and marketing accruals 9,230 2,821 Accrued revenue allowances 34,445 22,195 All other 5,157 5,800 Accrued expenses and other current liabilities$58,902 $37,720 (7) Warrants and Warrant Derivative LiabilityOn October 16, 2009, the Company completed a $70.0 million private placement with both existing and new investors resulting in $62.3 million in netproceeds and an additional $3.6 million from bridge notes converted in conjunction with the private placement. In consideration for the $62.3 million in netcash proceeds Amarin issued 66.4 million units, each unit consisting of (i) one ADS (representing one ordinary share) at a purchase price of $1.00 and (ii) awarrant with a five-year term to purchase 0.5 (one half) of an ADS at an exercise price of $1.50 per ADS. In consideration for the conversion of $3.6 million ofconvertible bridge notes, Amarin issued 4.0 million units, each unit consisting of (i) one ADS (representing one ordinary share) at a purchase price of $0.90and (ii) a warrant with a five-year term to purchase 0.5 (one half) of an ADS at an exercise price of $1.50 per ADS. The total number of warrants issued inconjunction with the financing was 35.2 million.In conjunction with the October 2009 financing, the Company issued an additional 0.9 million warrants to three former officers. The warrants issued inconnection with the October 2009 financing contained a pricing variability feature which provided for an increase to the exercise price if the exchange ratebetween the U.S. dollar and British pound adjusts such that the warrants could be exercised at a price less than the £0.5 par value of the common stock—thatis, if the exchange rate exceeded U.S. $3.00 per £1.0 sterling. Due to the potential variable nature of the exercise price, the warrants were not considered to beindexed to the Company’s common stock. Accordingly, the warrants did not qualify for the exception to classify the warrants within equity and wereclassified as a derivative liability.The fair value of this warrant derivative liability was remeasured at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statementof operations. Upon exercise, the fair value of the warrants exercised was remeasured and reclassified from warrant derivative liability to additional paid-in-capital. Although the warrants contained a pricing variability feature, the number of warrants issuable remained fixed. Therefore, the maximum number ofcommon shares issuable as a result of the October 2009 private placement was 36.1 million.In October 2014, the Company and the holders of the remaining October 2009 warrants mutually agreed to extend the expiration date of such warrants fromOctober 16, 2014 to February 27, 2015. Of the 8,087,388 warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2014, 1,844,585 warrants were exercised, resulting in netproceeds to the Company of $2.7 million, and the remaining 6,242,803 warrants expired. The related derivative liability was extinguished and we recognizeda $0.1 million gain on change in fair value of derivative liability for the year ended December 31, 2015. No warrants were outstanding as of December 31,2017 and 2016.F-20 (8) DebtLong-Term Debt from Royalty-Bearing Instrument—December 2012 FinancingOn December 6, 2012, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with BioPharma Secured Debt Fund II Holdings Cayman LP, or BioPharma.Under this agreement, the Company granted to BioPharma a security interest in future receivables associated with the Vascepa patent rights, in exchange for$100.0 million received at the closing of the agreement which occurred in December 2012. Under these terms, the Company continues to own all Vascepaintellectual property rights, however, such rights, as described below, could be used as collateral for repayment of the remaining unpaid balance under thisagreement if the Company defaults on making required payments. In the agreement, the Company agreed to repay BioPharma up to $150.0 million with suchrepayment based on a portion of net revenues and receivables generated from Vascepa. On December 20, 2017, BioPharma assigned all rights under thisagreement to CPPIB Credit Europe S.à r.l., or CPPIB.As of December 31, 2017, the remaining amount to be repaid to CPPIB is $109.1 million. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company maderepayments under the agreement of $16.5 million and an additional $5.3 million is scheduled to be paid in February 2018 for the fourth quarter of 2017.These payments were calculated based on the threshold limitation, as described below, as opposed to the scheduled quarterly repayments. Additionalquarterly repayments, subject to the threshold limitation, are scheduled to be paid. All such payments reduce the remainder of the $150.0 million inaggregate payments to CPPIB.These quarterly payments are subject to a quarterly threshold amount whereby, if a calculated threshold, based on quarterly Vascepa net revenues, is notachieved, the quarterly payment payable in that quarter can at the Company’s election be reduced, with the reduction carried forward without interest forpayment in a future period. The payment of any carried forward amount is subject to similarly calculated threshold repayment amounts based on Vascepa netrevenue levels. Except upon a change of control in Amarin, the agreement does not expire until $150.0 million in aggregate has been repaid. Except in theevent of the Company’s default, there is no compounding of interest and no scheduled cliff payment due under this agreement. Rather, payment will be made,subject to the threshold limitation, until $150.0 million in aggregate has been repaid, including payments made previously. The Company can prepay anamount equal to $150.0 million less any previously repaid amount.For each quarterly period since the inception of the debt, net revenues were below the contractual threshold amount such that cash payments were calculatedfor each period reflecting the optional reduction amount as opposed to the contractual threshold payment due for each quarterly period. In accordance withthe agreement, quarterly differences between the calculated optional reduction amounts and the repayment schedule amounts were rescheduled for paymentbeginning in the second quarter of 2017. Any such deferred repayments will remain subject to continued application of the quarterly ceiling in amounts dueestablished by the calculated threshold limitation based on quarterly Vascepa net revenues. No additional interest expense or liability is incurred as a resultof such deferred repayments. These estimates are reevaluated each reporting period by the Company and adjusted if necessary, prospectively.The Company determined the redemption feature upon a change of control to be an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. The fair value of theembedded derivative was calculated by determining the fair value of the debt with the change in control provision included and also without the change incontrol provision. The difference between the two fair values of the debt was determined to be the fair value of the embedded derivative, and upon closingthe Company recorded a derivative liability of $14.6 million as a reduction to the note payable. The fair value of this derivative liability is remeasured ateach reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and any changes in the assumptions used inmeasuring the fair value of the derivative liability could result in a material increase or decrease in its carrying value. Based on current assumptionsunderlying the valuation, the Company recognized no gain or loss on change in fair value of derivative liability during the year ended December 31, 2017,as compared to a $5.5 million gain on change in fair value of derivative liability during the year ended December 31, 2016.As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the carrying value of the royalty-bearing instrument, net of the unamortized debt discount and issuance costs, was$92.4 million and $93.6 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded cash and non-cash interest expense of$6.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively, in connection with the royalty-bearing instrument. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Companyrecorded $6.7 million and $2.1 million of cash and non-cash interest expense, respectively, in connection with the royalty-bearing instrument. The Companywill periodically evaluate the remaining term of the agreement and the effective interest rate is recalculated each period based on the Company’s most currentestimate of repayment.To secure the obligations under the agreement, the Company granted BioPharma, which it subsequently assigned to CPPIB, a security interest in theCompany’s patents, trademarks, trade names, domain names, copyrights, know-how and regulatory approvals related to the covered products, all books andrecords relating to the foregoing and all proceeds of the foregoing, referred to collectively as the collateral. If the Company (i) fails to deliver a payment whendue and does not remedy that failure within a specific notice period, (ii) fails to maintain a first-priority perfected security interest in the collateral in theUnited States and does not remedy that failure after receiving notice of such failure or (iii) becomes subject to an event of bankruptcy, then CPPIB mayattempt to collect the maximum amount payable by the Company under this agreement (after deducting any payments the Company has already made).F-21 Under the agreement, the Company is restricted from paying dividends on its common shares, unless it has cash and cash equivalents in excess of a specifiedamount after such payment.January 2012, May 2014, and November 2015 Exchangeable Senior NotesIn 2012, 2014 and 2015, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a series of transactions pertaining to exchangeable notes. As of December 31, 2017,all debt issued in these transactions was exchanged or redeemed such that none remained outstanding.In January 2012, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Corsicanto DAC (in liquidation) (formerly Corsicanto Limited) (“Corsicanto”), issued$150.0 million in principal amount of 3.5% exchangeable senior notes due 2032 (the “2012 Notes”), resulting in net proceeds of $144.3 million. In May2014, the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated exchange agreements with certain holders of the 2012 Notes pursuant to which Corsicantoexchanged $118.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the existing 2012 Notes for $118.7 million in aggregate principal amount of new 3.5% May2014 exchangeable senior notes due 2032 (the “2014 Notes”), following which $31.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2012 Notes remainedoutstanding with terms unchanged. In November 2015, the Company entered into a privately negotiated subscription agreement with one of its existinginvestors, pursuant to which the investor agreed to purchase approximately $31.3 million in aggregate principal amount of new 3.5% November 2015exchangeable senior notes due 2032 (the “2015 Notes”) for approximately $27.5 million. Approximately $15.9 million of such proceeds were used to financethe repayment of $16.2 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2012 Notes, following which $15.1 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2012Notes remained outstanding with terms unchanged through December 31, 2016. The 2012 Notes, 2014 Notes, and 2015 Notes are referred to collectively asthe “Notes.”In August 2016, Corsicanto gave notice to the holders of the 2014 Notes and 2015 Notes that certain equity conditions contained within the notes had beensatisfied and exercised its option to mandatorily exchange $118.7 million of aggregate principal amount of 2014 Notes and $31.3 million of aggregateprincipal amount of 2015 Notes for equity with settlement in September 2016, such that all of the outstanding 2014 Notes and 2015 Notes were retired at thattime. Consistent with the terms of the 2014 Notes and 2015 Notes, the final as-adjusted exchange rate was 402.0746 ADSs per $1,000 of principal amount,resulting in 47,739,925 ADSs and 12,571,263 ADSs being issued in exchange for the 2014 Notes and 2015 Notes, respectively. In total, the Companymandatorily exchanged $150.0 million in aggregate principal amount ($127.3 million in carrying value, net of unamortized debt discount and issuancecosts) of outstanding 2014 Notes and 2015 Notes, resulting in the issuance of 60,311,188 ADSs and recognition of $40.1 million in common stock and $87.4million in additional paid-in capital during the year ended December 31, 2016. Included within this $87.4 million is $0.8 million of accrued but unpaidinterest as of the exchange date deemed satisfied and discharged in full upon delivery of the ADSs consistent with the terms of the notes and ASC 470-20,less $0.7 million of transaction costs.F-22 The terms of the 2012 Notes allowed for repurchase in cash by the Company at the option of the holders on each of January 19, 2017, January 19, 2022, andJanuary 19, 2027, as well as redemption by the Company for cash of all or part of the 2012 Notes on or after January 19, 2017, both at a price equal to 100%of the principal amount of the 2012 Notes to be repurchased or redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase or redemptiondate. Consequently, in January 2017, holders of the 2012 Notes exercised their option to put approximately $15.0 million in aggregate principal amount of2012 Notes to the Company for cash and, in March 2017, the Company redeemed the entirety of the remaining $0.1 million in aggregate principal amount of2012 Notes, such that no 2012 Notes remained outstanding as of December 31, 2017.The 2012 Notes were exchangeable under certain circumstances into cash, ADSs, or a combination of cash and ADSs, at the Company’s election. At the timeof issuance, the Company calculated the fair value of the liability component of the 2012 Notes to be $126.2 million and the excess of the principal amountof the debt over the liability component of $23.8 million was allocated to the conversion option, resulting in a discount on the debt and correspondingincrease in equity as a result of the cash settlement feature. The Company also recorded a debt discount to reflect the value of the underwriter’s discounts andoffering costs. The debt discount from underwriter’s discounts and offering costs was allocated to the equity and liability components of the 2012 Notes inproportion to the proceeds allocated to each component. The $23.8 million equity component allocated to the conversion option was reduced by the portionof offering costs allocated to the equity component, $10.1 million upon extinguishment of the 2012 Notes as part of the 2014 Notes exchange and $1.3million upon extinguishment of the 2012 Notes as part of the 2015 Notes issuance, such that $11.5 million remained in equity as of both December 31, 2017and 2016. The conversion option was not remeasured each reporting period as it continued to meet the criteria for equity classification, and will remain inequity hereafter as a result of the repayment in full of the related debt instrument during the first quarter of 2017.The portion of the debt discount from underwriter’s discounts and offering costs allocated to the liability component as well as the discount created fromallocating proceeds to the conversion option were amortized as interest expense over the estimated life of the 2012 Notes of twenty-four months. Suchdiscounts were fully amortized prior to 2016. The carrying value of the 2012 Notes was nil and $15.1 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016,respectively, included within current portion of exchangeable senior notes, net of discount, due to the holders’ January 19, 2017 optional put date.The 2014 Notes were recorded at fair value of $90.8 million representing a $27.9 million discount to par. In addition, the Company recognized a discount of$2.5 million in underwriter’s fees and offering costs. The 2015 Notes were recorded at fair value of $27.5 million representing a $3.8 million discount to par.In addition, the Company recognized a discount of $0.1 million in offering costs. These discounts were amortized as interest expense over the expected termsof the 2014 Notes and 2015 Notes, which was expected to be through the first optional put date in January 2019 for each. The carrying value of the 2014Notes and 2015 Notes was nil as of both December 31, 2017 and 2016.The 2014 Notes and 2015 Notes contained a provision that if a fundamental change (as defined in the 2014 Notes and 2015 Notes) had occurred prior to thenotes being exchanged, holders may have required the Company to repurchase all or part of their notes for cash at a fundamental change repurchase priceequal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2014 Notes and 2015 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including,the fundamental change repurchase date. The Company determined that these fundamental change redemption features represented embedded derivativesrequiring bifurcation from the respective debt liabilities and allocated $3.5 million of the $90.8 million fair value of the 2014 Notes and $0.5 million of the$27.5 million fair value of the 2015 Notes to derivative liabilities. The fair value of these derivative liabilities was remeasured at each reporting period, withchanges in fair value recognized in the statement of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recognized a $2.1 million gain anda $0.6 million gain on the change in fair value of the redemption features of the 2014 Notes and 2015 Notes, respectively.The Notes had a stated interest rate of 3.5% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year. During the year endedDecember 31, 2017, the Company recognized cash interest expense of less than $0.1 million related to the Notes. During the year ended December 31, 2016,the Company recognized aggregate interest expense of $9.9 million related to the Notes, of which $5.7 million represents non-cash interest and $4.2 millionrepresents contractual coupon interest. As of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had total accrued interest on the Notes of nil and $0.2million, respectively, which is included in current portion of exchangeable senior notes, net of discount. The Company made the contractual interestpayments due on the Notes during the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 of $0.3 million and $5.4 million, respectively.January 2017 Exchangeable Senior NotesOn January 20, 2017, the Company and Corsicanto II DAC (“Corsicanto II”), a designated activity company formed under the laws of Ireland and a whollyowned subsidiary of the Company, entered into separate, privately negotiated purchase agreements with certain investors pursuant to which Corsicanto IIissued and sold $30.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.5% exchangeable senior notes due 2047 (the “2017 Notes”) at an issue price of 100%. Thenet proceeds from the offering were $28.8 million after deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses payable by the Company. The offering of the2017 Notes closed on January 25, 2017.F-23 Corsicanto II has no assets, operations, revenues or cash flows other than those related to the issuance, administration and repayment of the 2017 Notes.The 2017 Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture (the “Indenture”) entered into by the Company, Corsicanto II and Wilmington Trust, NationalAssociation, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The 2017 Notes are the senior unsecured obligations of Corsicanto II and are guaranteed by the Company. The 2017Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.5% per annum from, and including, January 25, 2017, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of eachyear, beginning on July 15, 2017 and ending upon the 2017 Notes’ maturity date of January 15, 2047, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or exchanged.At any time after the issuance of the 2017 Notes and prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding January 15, 2047,holders may exchange their 2017 Notes for ADSs at their option and at the exchange rate described below. If prior to January 19, 2021, a make-wholefundamental change (as defined in the Indenture) occurs and a holder elects to exchange its 2017 Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamentalchange, such holder may be entitled to an increase in the exchange rate as described in the Indenture.The initial exchange rate is 257.2016 ADSs per $1,000 principal amount of the 2017 Notes (equivalent to an initial exchange price of approximately $3.89per ADS (the “Exchange Price”)), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The initial exchange price for the 2017 Notes represents a premium ofapproximately 35% over the last reported sale price of $2.88 per share of the Company’s ADSs on The NASDAQ Global Market on January 19, 2017. Uponexchange, the 2017 Notes are to be settled in ADSs. The exchange rate is subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events,including, but not limited to, the payment of cash dividends. In the event of physical settlement, the 2017 Notes would be exchangeable into a total of7,716,048 ADSs. Based on the closing price of the Company’s stock as of December 31, 2017, the value of the shares if converted on that date would exceedthe principal value of the 2017 Notes by $0.9 million.Prior to January 19, 2021, Corsicanto II may not redeem the 2017 Notes at its option other than in connection with certain changes in the tax law of a relevanttaxing jurisdiction that results in additional amounts (as defined in the Indenture) becoming due with respect to payments and/or deliveries on the 2017Notes. On or after January 19, 2021, Corsicanto II may redeem for cash all or a portion of the 2017 Notes at a redemption price of 100% of the aggregateprincipal amount of the 2017 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. If a Fundamental Change (asdefined in the Indenture) occurs, holders may require Corsicanto II to repurchase all or part of their 2017 Notes for cash at a Fundamental Change repurchaseprice equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, theFundamental Change repurchase date. In addition, holders of the 2017 Notes may require Corsicanto II to repurchase all or any portion of the 2017 Notes onJanuary 19, 2022 for cash at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interestto, but not including, the repurchase date.Corsicanto II may elect at its option to cause all or any portion of the 2017 Notes to be mandatorily exchanged in whole or in part at any time prior to theclose of business on the business day preceding January 15, 2047 if the Daily VWAP (as defined in the Indenture) equals or exceeds 130% of the ExchangePrice then in effect (which quotient equals approximately $5.05 on the date hereof) for at least 20 VWAP Trading Days (as defined in the Indenture) in any 30consecutive VWAP Trading Day period. Corsicanto II may only exercise its optional exchange rights upon satisfaction of specified equity conditions,including that the ADSs issuable upon exchange of the 2017 Notes be eligible for resale without registration by non-affiliates and listed on The NASDAQGlobal Market, its related exchanges or the New York Stock Exchange. If Corsicanto II elects to exercise its optional exchange rights on or prior to January19, 2021, each holder whose 2017 Notes are exchanged may upon exchange receive a specified number of additional ADSs as set forth in the Indenture.The Indenture contains customary terms and covenants and events of default. If an event of default (other than certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency orreorganization involving Corsicanto II) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to Corsicanto II, or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount ofthe outstanding 2017 Notes by notice to Corsicanto II and the Trustee, may declare 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all ofthe 2017 Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration of acceleration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be due andpayable immediately. Upon the occurrence of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization involving Corsicanto II, 100% of the principal ofand accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the 2017 Notes will become due and payable automatically. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenturewill provide that, to the extent Corsicanto II elects and for up to 360 days, the sole remedy for an event of default relating to certain failures by Corsicanto IIor the Company, as the case may be, to comply with certain reporting covenants in the Indenture consists exclusively of the right to receive additionalinterest on the 2017 Notes.Corsicanto II agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to procure the listing of the 2017 Notes on the Global Exchange Market operated under thesupervision of the Irish Stock Exchange (or on another recognized stock exchange for the purposes of Section 64 of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 ofIreland and within the meaning of Section 1005 ITA 2007 of the United Kingdom) prior to July 15, 2017, which was the first interest payment date for the2017 Notes.The 2017 Notes were recorded at par of $30.0 million. In addition, the Company recorded a discount of $1.2 million in placement agent fees and offeringexpenses. Such costs are presented as a direct deduction from the debt liability on the consolidated balanceF-24 sheet. This discount is being amortized as interest expense over the estimated life of the 2017 Notes, through the first optional put date in January 2022. As ofDecember 31, 2017, the carrying value of the 2017 Notes, net of unamortized discount, was $29.0 million. Because the conversion option in the 2017 Notes receives an exception from derivative accounting and only requires gross physical settlement in shares, theembedded option does not require separate accounting and is therefore accounted for as part of the debt host at amortized cost. In addition, the Companydetermined that the fundamental change redemption feature is clearly and closely related to the debt host in accordance with ASC 815-15 and therefore doesnot require bifurcation.During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recognized interest expense of $1.2 million related to the 2017 Notes, of which $0.2 millionrepresents non-cash interest and $1.0 million represents contractual coupon interest. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had accrued interest of $0.5million related to the 2017 Notes, which is presented as current portion of exchangeable senior notes, net of discount, on the consolidated balance sheet. TheCompany made the contractual interest payment due on the 2017 Notes during the year ended December 31, 2017 of $0.5 million.(9) Commitments and ContingenciesLitigationOn August 30, 2017, Amarin Pharma, Inc. and Amarin Pharmaceuticals Ireland Limited, each wholly-owned subsidiaries of Amarin Corporation plc, filed alawsuit with the United States International Trade Commission, or the ITC, captioned In the Matter of Certain Synthetically Produced, Predominantly EPAOmega-3 Products in Ethyl Ester or Re-esterified Triglyceride Form, USITC Docket 337-3247, against manufacturers, importers, and distributors of productscontaining synthetically produced omega-3 products in ethyl ester or re-esterified triglyceride form that contain more EPA than DHA or any other singlecomponent for use in or as dietary supplements. The lawsuit sought an investigation by the ITC under Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C.§1337), which makes unlawful unfair methods of competition and unfair acts involving the importation and sale of articles in the United States that injure orthreaten injury to a domestic industry. On October 27, 2017, the ITC determined to not institute our requested investigation. On December 1, 2017, theCompany appealed the ITC’s non-institution decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (Case Nos. 18-1247, 18-114). That appealis ongoing. The Company intends to pursue this matter vigorously.In September and October 2016, the Company received paragraph IV certification notices from four companies contending to varying degrees that certain ofits patents are invalid, unenforceable and/or will not be infringed by the manufacture, use, sale or offer for sale of a generic form of Vascepa as described inthose companies’ abbreviated new drug applications, or ANDAs. The Company filed patent infringement lawsuits against three of these four ANDAapplicants. In October 2016, Amarin filed a lawsuit against Roxane Laboratories, Inc. and related parties (collectively, “Roxane”) in the U.S. District Courtfor the District of Nevada. The case against Roxane is captioned Amarin Pharma, Inc. et al. v. Roxane Laboratories, Inc. et al., Civ. A. No. 2:16-cv-02525 (D.Nev.). According to a stipulation filed with the Nevada court, in December 2016, Roxane transferred its ANDA to West-Ward Pharmaceuticals InternationalLimited, which then designated West-Ward Pharmaceuticals Corp. (or together with West-Ward Pharmaceuticals International Limited, West-Ward) as itsagent for FDA communications. In view of the ANDA transfer, in February 2017, West-Ward replaced Roxane and related parties as Defendants in the above-referenced case. The case against West-Ward is now captioned Amarin Pharma, Inc. et al. v. West-Ward Pharmaceuticals Corp. et al., Civ. A. No. 2:16-cv-02525 (D. Nev.). In November 2016, Amarin filed a lawsuit against Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Ltd. (collectively, “DRL”) inthe U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada. The case against DRL is captioned Amarin Pharma, Inc. et al. v. Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. et al., Civ. A.No. 2:16-cv-02562 (D. Nev.). In November 2016, Amarin filed a lawsuit against Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. and Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Limited(collectively, “Teva”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada. The case against Teva is captioned Amarin Pharma, Inc. et al. v. TevaPharmaceuticals USA, Inc. et al., Civ. A. No. 2:16-cv-02658. In all three lawsuits, Amarin is seeking, among other remedies, an order enjoining eachdefendant from marketing generic versions of Vascepa before the last to expire of the asserted patents in 2030. The three lawsuits have been consolidated forpretrial proceedings. As a result of the statutory stay associated with the filing of these lawsuits under the Hatch-Waxman Act, the FDA cannot grant finalapproval to West-Ward, DRL, or Teva’s respective ANDA before January 2020, unless there is an earlier court decision holding that the subject patents arenot infringed and/or are invalid.The fourth ANDA applicant referenced above is Apotex Inc. (“Apotex”), which sent Amarin a paragraph IV certification notice in September 2016. The noticereflected that Apotex made a paragraph IV notice as to some, but not all, of the patents listed in the Orange Book for Vascepa. Because Apotex did not make aparagraph IV certification as to all listed patents, Apotex cannot market a generic version of Vascepa before the last to expire of the patents for which Apotexdid not make a paragraph IV certification, which is in 2030. At a later date, Apotex may elect to amend its ANDA in order to make a paragraph IV certificationas to additional listed patents. If and when Apotex does make such an amendment, it would be required to send Amarin an additional paragraph IVcertification notice, and Amarin would then have the ability to file a lawsuit against Apotex pursuant to the Hatch-Waxman Act.The Company introduced to the market its 0.5-gram dose strength of Vascepa in October 2016. In August 2017, as anticipated, the Company received aparagraph IV certification notice from Teva contending that certain of its patents are invalid, unenforceable and/or will not be infringed by the manufacture,use, sale or offer for sale of a generic form of the 0.5-gram dose strength of Vascepa,F-25 as described in the Teva abbreviated new drug application, or ANDA. This Teva ANDA was filed as an amendment to the 1-gram Teva ANDA and is related topatents already at issue in the 1-gram Vascepa patent litigation. Accordingly, in October 2017, the Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Tevain the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada. The case is captioned Amarin Pharma, Inc. et al. v. Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. et al., Civ. A. No.2:17-cv-2641 (D. Nev.). In this lawsuit, the Company is seeking, among other remedies, an order enjoining Teva from marketing generic versions of the 0.5-gram dose strength of Vascepa before the last to expire of the asserted patents in 2030. This new lawsuit against Teva has been consolidated with the pendinglawsuits against Teva, West-Ward, and DRL referenced above based on the 1-gram dose strength of Vascepa, and all four lawsuits will proceed on the sameschedule.On April 26, 2016, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the putative consolidated class actionlawsuit captioned In re Amarin Corporation plc, Securities Litigation, No. 3:13-cv-06663 (D.N.J. Nov. 1, 2013). The class action was dismissed withoutprejudice with leave for plaintiffs to file an amended complaint. The lawsuit sought unspecified monetary damages and attorneys’ fees and costs alleging thatthe Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors made misstatements and omissions regarding the FDA’s willingness to approveVascepa’s ANCHOR indication and related contributing factors and the potential relevance of data from the ongoing REDUCE-IT trial to that potentialapproval. The April 2016 dismissal was the second motion to dismiss granted in favor of Amarin and related defendants in this litigation. The first motion todismiss in this litigation was granted in June 2015 in response to the original complaint and related amendment. On May 26, 2016, plaintiffs appealed themost recent dismissal to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. On May 23, 2017, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment of the U.S. DistrictCourt for the District of New Jersey that granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the putative consolidated class action lawsuit (Case No. 16-2640).Plaintiffs sought a rehearing and en banc review of such affirmation, each of which were denied. The appeal period for this matter has expired. The Companyconsiders this matter closed.The Company intends to vigorously enforce its intellectual property rights relating to Vascepa, but cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits or anysubsequently filed lawsuits.In addition to the above, in the ordinary course of business, the Company is from time to time involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations, proceedings, andthreats of litigation relating to intellectual property, commercial arrangements and other matters.LeasesThe Company leases office space under operating leases. Future minimum lease payments under these leases, net of sublease rental income, as ofDecember 31, 2017 are as follows: In thousands Year Ending December 31, Operating Leases 2018 $642 2019 156 2020-2022 — Total $798 On September 30, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement for 320 square feet of office space at 2 Pembroke House, Upper Pembroke Street 28-32 inDublin, Ireland. The office space was subsequently reduced to 270 square feet, effective November 1, 2013. The agreement began November 1, 2011 andterminates on October 31, 2018 and can be extended automatically for successive one-year periods. Monthly rent is approximately €2,900 (approximately$3,500 at the time of filing). The agreement can be terminated by either party with three months prior written notice.On July 1, 2011, the Company leased 9,747 square feet of office space in Bedminster, New Jersey. The lease, as amended, terminates on April 30, 2019, andmay also be terminated with six months prior notice. On December 6, 2011 the Company leased an additional 2,142 square feet of space in the same location.On December 15, 2012 and May 8, 2013, the Company leased an additional 2,601 and 10,883 square feet of space, respectively, in the same location. InJanuary 2014 and April 2014, the Company entered into separate transactions with the landlord of this property to vacate approximately 2,142 and 2,000square feet of space in exchange for discounts on contractual future rent payments. In January 2015, the Company executed an agreement to subleaseapproximately 4,700 square feet of this property to a third party, effective April 1, 2015. This sublease agreement was terminated as of September 30,2017. Additionally, in June 2015, the Company executed an agreement to sublease approximately 2,500 square feet of this property to a separate third party,effective June 16, 2015. On December 15, 2016, the Company leased an additional 732 square feet of space in the same location, effective January 1, 2017.Total rent expense during the years ended 2017, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $0.6 million, $0.6 million, and $0.8 million, respectively.F-26 Milestone and Supply Purchase ObligationsThe Company entered into long-term supply agreements with multiple FDA-approved API suppliers and encapsulators. Certain supply agreements requireannual minimum volume commitments by the Company and certain volume shortfalls may require payments for such shortfalls, as detailed below.The Company entered into its initial Vascepa API supply agreement with Nisshin Pharma, Inc (“Nisshin”) in 2010. In 2011, the Company entered intoagreements with two additional suppliers, Chemport, Inc (“Chemport”) and BASF (formerly Equateq Limited), for the supply of API. In 2012, the Companyagreed to terms with a fourth API supplier, a consortium of companies led by Slanmhor Pharmaceutical, Inc. (“Slanmhor”). The API supply agreement withBASF terminated in February 2014. In July 2014, the Company terminated the supply agreement with Slanmhor and subsequently, in June 2015, entered intoa new supply agreement with Finorga SAS (“Novasep”). These agreements included requirements for the suppliers to meet certain product specifications andqualify their materials and facilities with applicable regulatory authorities including the FDA. The Company has incurred certain costs associated with thequalification of product produced by these suppliers as described below.Nisshin, Chemport and Novasep are currently the three manufacturers from which the Company purchases API. As of December 31, 2017, the Company hasno royalty, milestone or minimum purchase commitments with Nisshin.Chemport was approved by the FDA to manufacture API for commercial sale in April 2013 and the Company began purchasing commercial supply fromChemport in 2013. The agreement with Chemport contains a provision requiring the Company to pay Chemport in cash for any shortfall in the minimumpurchase obligations. The Company began purchasing commercial supply from Novasep in 2015. API manufactured by Novasep was previously approved bythe FDA in July 2014. The 2015 supply agreement with Novasep contains a provision requiring the Company to pay Novasep a cash remedy for any shortfallin the minimum purchase obligations.Pursuant to the supply agreements, there is a total of $40.1 million that is potentially payable over the term of such agreements based on minimum purchaseobligations. The Company continues to meet its contractual purchase obligations.Under the 2004 share repurchase agreement with Laxdale Limited (“Laxdale”), upon receipt of marketing approval in Europe for the first indication forVascepa (or first indication of any product containing Amarin Neuroscience Limited intellectual property acquired from Laxdale in 2004), the Companymust make an aggregate stock or cash payment to the former shareholders of Laxdale (at the sole option of each of the sellers) of £7.5 million (approximately$10.1 million as of December 31, 2017). Also under the Laxdale agreement, upon receipt of a marketing approval in the United States or Europe for a furtherindication of Vascepa (or further indication of any other product using Amarin Neuroscience Limited intellectual property), the Company must make anaggregate stock or cash payment (at the sole option of each of the sellers) of £5 million (approximately $6.7 million as of December 31, 2017) for each of thetwo potential market approvals (i.e., £10 million maximum, or approximately $13.5 million as of December 31, 2017).The Company has no provision for any of the obligations above since the amounts are either not probable or able to be estimated as of December 31, 2017.(10) EquityPreferred StockOn March 5, 2015, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with four institutional investors (the “Purchasers”), including both existing and newinvestors, for the private placement of 352,150,790 restricted American Depositary Shares, each representing one (1) share of Amarin’s Series A ConvertiblePreference Shares, par value £0.05 per share, in the capital of the Company (“Series A Preference Shares”), resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of$52.8 million. The closing of the private placement occurred on March 30, 2015.For each restricted American Depositary Share, the Purchasers paid a negotiated price of $0.15 (equating to $1.50 on an as-if-converted-to-ordinary-sharesbasis), resulting in $52.8 million in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company, before deducting estimated offering expenses of approximately $0.7 million.The net proceeds are reflected as preferred stock in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Each ten (10) Series A Preference Shares may be consolidated and redesignated as one (1) ordinary share, par value £0.50 per share, in the capital of theCompany, each ordinary share to be represented by American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), provided that consolidation will be prohibited if, as a result, theholder of such Series A Preference Shares and its affiliates would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the total number of Amarin ordinary shares or ADSsoutstanding following such redesignation (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). By written notice to the Company, a holder may from time to timeincrease or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to any other percentage not in excess of 19.9% specified in such notice; provided that any suchincrease will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company. This consolidation and redesignation may beF-27 effected by a holder of Series A Preference Shares following the first to occur of the resale of the ADSs representing the ordinary shares being registered forresale under the Securities Act pursuant to an effective registration statement, following any sale of the ADSs representing the ordinary shares pursuant toRule 144 under the Securities Act, or if such ADSs representing the ordinary shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, following the expiration of the one-year holding requirement under Rule 144. During the year ended December 31, 2015, at the request of the holders, a portion of the Series A Preference Shareswere consolidated and redesignated, resulting in the issuance of 6,283,333 ADSs such that a maximum of 32,818,464 ordinary shares remain issuable uponfuture consolidation and redesignation of the remaining Series A Preference Shares as of December 31, 2017, inclusive of the shares issued in July 2015 asdiscussed below, subject to certain adjustments for dilutive events.Except as otherwise provided in the Series A Preference Share Terms or as required by applicable law, the Series A Preference Shares have no voting rights.However, as long as any Series A Preference Shares are outstanding, the Company cannot, without the approval of the holders of seventy-five percent(75%) of the then outstanding Series A Preference Shares, alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights attaching to the Series A PreferenceShares or enter into any agreement with respect to the foregoing.Holders of the Series A Preference Shares are entitled to receive, and the Company is required to pay, dividends (other than dividends in the form of ordinaryshares) on the Series A Preference Shares equal (on an as-if-converted-to-ordinary-shares basis) to and in the same form as dividends (other than dividends inthe form of ordinary shares) actually paid on ordinary shares when, as and if such dividends (other than dividends in the form of ordinary shares) are paid onthe ordinary shares.The restricted American Depositary Shares and Series A Preference Shares were sold in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements under theSecurities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) The Company filed a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the restrictedAmerican Depositary Shares and the ADSs representing ordinary shares created by the consolidation and redesignation of the Series A Preference Shares (the“Registrable Securities”) on April 9, 2015, which was declared effective by the SEC on May 1, 2015. In addition, the Company agreed to use itscommercially reasonable best efforts to keep the registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Companydetermines to obtain, continuously effective, and to keep the Registration Statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of(a) March 11, 2017 or (b) the date on which all Registrable Securities held by Purchasers may be sold or transferred in compliance with Rule 144 under theSecurities Act, without any volume or manner of sale restrictions.The Series A Preference Shares contain a contingent beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) because they contain a conversion feature at a fixed rate that wasin-the-money when issued. The BCF was recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2015 as a result of the related Form S-3 Registration Statement beingdeclared effective, which represents the resolution of the contingency to convert the Series A Preference Shares. The BCF was recognized in stockholders’deficit and was measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital. The effectivepurchase price of the ordinary shares into which the preferred shares are convertible was $1.50, which was used to compute the intrinsic value. The intrinsicvalue was calculated as the difference between the effective purchase price of the ordinary shares and the market value ($2.39 per share) on the date thepreferred shares were issued, multiplied by the number of shares into which the preferred shares are convertible. The BCF resulting from the issuance of theSeries A Preference Shares was determined to be $31.3 million. The BCF was recorded as a non-cash dividend to preferred shareholders through accumulateddeficit, and was therefore reflected as an adjustment to net loss applicable to common shareholders for earnings per common share purposes in accordancewith GAAP for the year ended December 31, 2015.On March 30, 2015, in connection with the closing of the private placement, and pursuant to a pre-existing contractual right to participate in certain privateplacement transactions effected by the Company, the Company entered into a separate subscription agreement with an existing investor, Sofinnova VenturePartners VII L.P. (Sofinnova), for the purchase of an additional $5.8 million of restricted American Depositary Shares, each representing one (1) share of theCompany’s Series A Preference Shares, at the same price per share and otherwise on substantially the same terms as the initial private placement (the “SecondPrivate Placement”). In accordance with applicable marketplace rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market, the consummation of the Second Private Placement wasconditioned upon approval by the Company’s shareholders at a future meeting of the Company’s shareholders. Such approval was received at the Company’sAnnual General Meeting of Shareholders on July 6, 2015 and as a result, the closing of the Second Private Placement occurred on July 10, 2015. TheCompany issued 38,867,180 restricted ADSs, each representing one Series A Preference Share, which may be consolidated and redesignated from time to timeup to a maximum of 3,886,718 ordinary shares, each ordinary share to be represented by one ADS. For each restricted ADS, Sofinnova paid a negotiated priceof $0.15 (equating to $1.50 on an as-if-converted-to-ordinary-shares basis) resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $5.8 million. At the time of thetransaction, Dr. James Healy was a member of the Company’s Board and a managing general partner of Sofinnova Management VII, L.L.C., which is thegeneral partner of Sofinnova. Dr. James Healy resigned as Director of the Company’s Board effective December 20, 2016.The Company filed another registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of these restricted American Depositary Shares and the ADSs representingordinary shares created by the consolidation and redesignation of the Series A Preference Shares (theF-28 “Sofinnova Registrable Securities”) on July 24, 2015, which was declared effective by the SEC on August 7, 2015. In addition, the Company agreed to use itscommercially reasonable best efforts to keep the registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Companydetermines to obtain, continuously effective, and to keep the registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of(a) July 10, 2017 or (b) the date on which all Sofinnova Registrable Securities held by Sofinnova may be sold or transferred in compliance with Rule 144under the Securities Act, without any volume or manner of sale restrictions.The existence of this preferred stock purchase option was determined to be a derivative liability effective March 5, 2015, the date on which the privateplacement was initially subscribed. The fair value of this liability was calculated using a Black-Scholes model and was determined to be $0.9 million atinception and was charged to accumulated deficit as a deemed non-cash dividend to Sofinnova. The liability was then marked to fair value as of March 30,2015, the date on which the Company executed a subscription agreement with Sofinnova, resulting in a charge of $0.9 million through gain (loss) on changein fair value of derivatives. The liability of $1.8 million was reclassified to permanent equity (additional paid-in capital) on such date. Subsequent toapproval of the Second Private Placement at the Company’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in July 2015, the Company recorded the remainingvalue of the BCF related to this share issuance as a non-cash dividend to preferred shareholders through accumulated deficit. The value of the BCF wasdetermined on the same basis as the first private placement and amounted to $3.4 million less $1.8 million previously recorded for the preferred stockpurchase option for a net non-cash charge of $1.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2015.Common StockIn September 2016, the Company mandatorily exchanged $118.7 million and $31.3 million of aggregate principal amount of the 2014 Notes and 2015Notes, respectively, resulting in the issuance of 47,739,925 ADSs and 12,571,263 ADSs, respectively, with each ADS representing one ordinary share of theCompany (see Note 8—Debt). In August 2016, the Company completed a public offering of 21,100,000 ADSs, with each ADS representing one ordinary share of the Company. Amarin alsogranted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase an additional 3,165,000 ADSs at the same price, which was exercised in full. The underwriterspurchased the ADSs from the Company at a price of $2.679 per ADS after commission, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately$64.6 million, after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. Intended uses of the net proceeds from the offering were to advance itsREDUCE-IT cardiovascular outcomes trial and for general corporate and working capital purposes.Incentive Equity AwardsAs of December 31, 2017, there were an aggregate of 24,108,455 stock options and 12,005,553 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) outstanding, representingapproximately 7% and 4%, respectively, of outstanding shares (including common and preferred shares) on a fully diluted basis.During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company issued 356,656 and 177,146 shares, respectively, as a result of the exercise of stockoptions, resulting in gross and net proceeds of $0.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2017 and $0.3 million during the year ended December 31,2016.On May 15, 2017, the Company granted a total of 91,504 RSUs and 131,575 stock options to members of the Company’s Board of Directors under theAmarin Corporation plc Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”).

The issuance of 989,000 of these RSUs was contingent upon shareholderapproval to increase the aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2011 Plan, which was obtained at the Company’s Annual GeneralMeeting of Shareholders held on May 15, 2017.On July 11, 2016, the Company granted a total of 148,403 RSUs and 208,340 stock options to members of the Company’s Board of Directors under the 2011Plan. The RSUs vest in equal installments over a three-year period upon the earlier of the anniversary of theF-29 grant date or the Company’s annual general meeting of shareholders in such anniversary year. The stock options vest in full upon the earlier of the one-yearanniversary of the grant date or the Company’s annual general meeting of shareholders in such anniversary year. Upon termination of service to the Companyor upon a change of control, each Director shall be entitled to a payment equal to the fair market value of one share of Amarin common stock, which isrequired to be made in shares.On February 1, 2016, the Company granted a total of 1,607,500 RSUs and 2,442,000 stock options to employees under the 2011 Plan. The RSUs vestannually over a three-year period and the stock options vest monthly over a four-year period. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company issued494,885 common shares related to the vesting of these RSUs, of which 191,899 shares were retained as treasury shares as settlement of employee taxobligations. See Note 12—Stock Incentive Plans and Stock Based Compensation for further information regarding the Company’s incentive equity awards.WarrantsDuring the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company issued 1,844,585 shares upon the exercise of warrants, resulting in gross and net proceeds of$2.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively. There was no warrant activity during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and no warrants remainedoutstanding as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.(11) Income TaxesInterest and penalties related to any uncertain tax positions have historically been insignificant. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related touncertain tax positions within the provision for income taxes. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would affect the Company’s effective taxrate if recognized is nil as of December 31, 2017 and $1.5 million as of December 31, 2016.The following is a reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015: In thousands 2017 2016 2015 Beginning uncertain tax benefits $1,633 $1,550 $2,487 Prior year—increases — — 120 Prior year—decreases (20) — (762)Current year—increases 121 83 144 Current year—decreases for lapses in statutes of limitations — — (439)Ending uncertain tax benefits $1,734 $1,633 $1,550 The Company files income tax returns in the United States, Ireland and United Kingdom, or UK.

For the years ended December 31,2017, 2016, and 2015, the Company applied the statutory corporate tax rate of 25% for Amarin Corporation plc, reflecting the non-trading tax rate in Ireland.However, for Amarin Pharmaceuticals Ireland Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amarin Corporation plc, the Company applied the 12.5% Irish tradingtax rate. In the table above, the Company used Amarin Corporation plc’s 25% tax rate as the starting point for the reconciliation since it is the parent entity ofthe business.On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) that instituted fundamental changes to the taxation of multinationalcorporations. The Act includes changes to the taxation of foreign earnings by implementing a dividend exemption system, expansion of the current anti-deferral rules, a minimum tax on low-taxed foreign earnings and new measures to deter base erosion. The Act also includes a permanent reduction in thecorporate tax rate to 21%, repeal of the corporate alternative minimum tax, expensing of capital investment, and limitation of the deduction of interestexpense. Furthermore, as part of the transition to the new tax system, a one-time transition tax is imposed on a U.S. shareholder's historical undistributedearnings of foreign affiliates. Although the Act is generally effective January 1, 2018, U.S. GAAP requires recognition of the tax effects of new legislationduring the reporting period that includes the enactment date, which was December 22, 2017.As a result of the financial reporting implications of the Act, the SEC provided guidance that allows the Company to record provisional amounts for thoseimpacts, with the requirement that the accounting be completed in a period not to exceed one year from the date of enactment. As of December 31, 2017, theCompany has recorded a provisional amount to account for the impact of tax effects of the Act related to the change in corporate tax rate from 34% to 21%and the changes to executive compensation deductibility. Given the complexity of the Act and anticipated guidance from the U.S. Treasury aboutimplementing the Act, the Company’s analysis and accounting for the tax effects of the Act is preliminary. The amounts are provisional estimates, as theCompany has not fully completed its analysis of certain other aspects of the Act that could result in adjustments. Upon completion ofF-31 the analysis in 2018, these estimates may be adjusted through income tax expense in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company will disclosethe impact to the provisional amounts in the reporting period in which the accounting period is completed, which will not exceed one year from the date ofenactment. Any change is not expected to have an impact to the tax provision or consolidated financial statements.The primary impact of the Act on the Company relates to the re-measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from the change in the corporatetax rate from 34% to 21%. At the date of enactment, the Company had net deferred tax assets for the excess of the net tax value over the book basis of its U.S.assets and liabilities which will generate future tax deductions in excess of book expense. As a result of the Act, future tax deductions will result in adecreased reduction in tax expense. Consequently, the Company reduced the amount of the U.S. subsidiary’s net deferred tax assets as of the date ofenactment and recorded a non-cash charge of $2.4 million in the provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2017 due to the decrease in thecorporate tax rate. In addition, based on the Company’s evaluation of available evidence, the Company recognized non-cash tax expense during the yearended December 31, 2017 of $8.7 million related to the recording of additional valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets on the balance sheet tozero as the Company concluded that it is not more likely than not that certain of the deferred tax benefits resulting from deferred tax assets generated from theU.S. subsidiary operations will be realized. In April 2016, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Share-Based Payment Accountingwhich changes the accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. One aspect of the standard requires that excess tax benefits anddeficiencies that arise upon vesting or exercise of share-based payments be recognized as an income tax benefit and expense in the income statement.Previously, such amounts were recognized as an increase and decrease in additional paid-in capital. This aspect of the standard was adopted prospectively,and accordingly the provisions for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 includes $1.3 million of excess tax benefits and$0.4 million of excess tax deficiencies, respectively, arising from share-based payments during the period of adoption. Additionally, the new standardrequires that historical excess tax benefits that were not previously recognized because the related tax deduction had not reduced current taxes should berecognized on a modified retrospective basis as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the annual period of adoption.Consequently, the Company recognized deferred tax assets of approximately $1.6 million relating to excess tax benefits on stock-based compensationoutstanding as of December 31, 2015, with a corresponding cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit.The income tax effect of each type of temporary difference comprising the net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 is as follows: In thousands December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Deferred tax assets: Net operating losses $110,715 $95,181 Stock-based compensation 12,446 16,894 Tax credits 6,378 6,893 Other reserves and accrued liabilities 3,587 3,193 Gross deferred tax assets 133,126 122,161 Less: valuation allowance (131,389) (109,274)Total deferred tax assets 1,737 12,887 Deferred tax liabilities: Depreciation and amortization (1,145) (1,050)Other liabilities (592) (755)Total deferred tax liabilities (1,737) (1,805)Net deferred tax assets $— $11,082 The Company assesses whether it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will realize its deferred tax assets. The Company determined that it was more-likely-than-not that the Irish, UK, and Israeli net operating losses and the related U.S. deferred tax assets, consisting primarily of stock-based compensationand R&D tax credits, would not be realized in future periods and a full valuation allowance has been recorded as of the current period.F-32 The following table reflects the activity in the valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016: In thousands 2017 2016 Beginning valuation allowance$109,274 $95,999 Increase as reflected in income tax expense 11,466 17,951 Cumulative translation adjustment 10,649 (4,676)Ending valuation allowance$131,389 $109,274During 2017, the Company recorded adjustments to its deferred tax accounts related to the impact of foreign exchange rate changes and to reconcile thefinancial statement accounts to the amounts expected to result in future income and deductions under local law, primarily as it relates to Irish net operatinglosses and deferred taxes for stock compensation. These adjustments were fully offset with valuation allowances based on the Company’s position withrespect to the realizability of its recorded deferred tax assets in non-U.S. entities.The Company has combined Irish, UK, and Israeli net operating loss carryforwards of $710.4 million, which do not expire. The total net operating losscarryforwards increased by approximately $109.2 million from the prior year primarily as a result of current year losses generated by the Company’s Irishsubsidiaries. In addition, the Company has U.S. Federal tax credit carryforwards of $6.0 million and state tax credit carryforwards of $1.9 million. Theseamounts exclude the impact of any unrecognized tax benefits and valuation allowances. These carryforwards, which will expire between 2024 and 2036, maybe used to offset future taxable income.As of December 31, 2017, earnings of $8.0 million have been retained indefinitely for reinvestment by foreign subsidiary or there is an expectation that anyreinvestment can be recovered tax-free without significant cost, and the entity expects to ultimately use that means of recovery for domestic subsidiarycompanies; therefore, no provision has been made for income taxes that would be payable upon the distribution of such earnings and it would not bepracticable to determine the amount of the related unrecognized deferred income tax liability.The Company's and its subsidiaries' income tax returns are periodically examined by various taxing authorities. The Company is currently under audit by theUnited States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the years 2013 to 2014. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain and could result insignificant cash tax payments, the Company does not believe the outcome of these audits will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidatedfinancial position or results of operations.(12) Stock Incentive Plans and Stock-Based CompensationOn April 29, 2011 the Board, upon the recommendation of the Remuneration Committee, adopted the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (“2011 Plan”), which wasapproved by the Company’s shareholders on July 12, 2011. The 2011 Plan replaced the Company’s 2002 Stock Option Plan (“2002 Plan”), which expired onJanuary 1, 2012. The maximum number of the Company’s Ordinary Shares of £0.50 each or any ADS’s, as to be issued under the 2011 Plan, as amended, shallnot exceed the sum of (i) 51.5 million newly authorized Shares available for award and (ii) the number of Shares that remained available for grants under theCompany’s 2002 Plan and (iii) the number of Shares underlying then outstanding awards under the 2002 Plan that could be subsequently forfeited,cancelled, expire or are otherwise terminated. The award of stock options (both incentive and non-qualified options) and restricted stock units, and awards ofunrestricted Shares to Directors are permitted. The 2011 Plan is administered by the Remuneration Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors andexpires on July 12, 2021.In addition to the grants under the 2011 Plan, the Company grants non-qualified stock options to employees to purchase the Company’s ordinary shares.These grants are made pursuant to employment agreements on terms consistent with the 2011 Plan.Under the terms of the 2011 Plan, and grants made pursuant to employment agreements, options typically vest over a four-year period, expire after a ten-yearterm and are granted at an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s American Depositary Shares on the grant date. The following tablesummarizes all stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2017:F-33 In thousands (except per share amounts and years)Number ofShares WeightedAverageExercisePrice WeightedAverageRemainingContractualTerm AggregateIntrinsicValue Outstanding as of January 1, 2017 21,188 $3.37 Granted 3,827 3.09 Forfeited (219) 2.52 Expired (331) 10.17 Exercised (357) 1.79 Outstanding as of December 31, 2017 24,108 3.26 6.8 years $34,659 Exercisable as of December 31, 2017 16,115 3.68 6.0 years 21,976 Vested and expected to vest as of December 31, 2017 23,709 $3.27 6.7 years $34,025 Available for future grant as of December 31, 2017 16,994 The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $3.09, $1.62, and $2.16,respectively. The total grant date fair value of options vested during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $7.1 million, $6.5 million, and$9.1 million, respectively.During the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and2015, the Company received proceeds from the exercise of options of $0.6 million, $0.3 million, and$31 thousand, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $0.5 million,$0.2 million, and $6 thousand, respectively, calculated as the difference between the quoted stock price of the Company’s common stock as of the reportingdate and the exercise prices of the underlying awards.As of December 31, 2017, there was $12.7 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock option share-basedcompensation arrangements granted under the Company’s stock award plans. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period ofapproximately 2.3 years. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the fair values of those awards which have graded vesting on a straight-linebasis.The fair value of stock options on the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Use of a valuation model requiresmanagement to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs. Expected stock price volatility was calculated based on the historicalvolatility of the Company’s common stock over the expected life of the option. The expected life was determined using the simplified method based on theterm and vesting period. The risk-free interest rate is based on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity term approximating the expected life ofthe option at the date of grant. No dividend yield has been assumed as the Company does not currently pay dividends on its common stock and does notanticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. Estimated forfeitures are based on the Company’s historical forfeiture activity.Employee stock options generally vest over a four-year service period and all stock options are settled by the issuance of new shares. Compensation expenserecognized for all option grants is net of estimated forfeitures and is recognized over the awards’ respective requisite service periods. The vesting of certainstock options is contingent upon the attainment of performance criteria. The probability that such criteria will be achieved is assessed by management andcompensation expense for such awards is only recorded to the extent that the attainment of the performance criteria is deemed to be probable. The Companyrecorded compensation expense in relation to stock options of $7.0 million, $6.6 million and $7.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and2015, respectively.For 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company used the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards: 2017 2016 2015 Risk-free interest rate1.77% - 2.01% 1.07% - 1.70% 1.37% - 1.68% Expected dividend yield0.00% 0.00% 0.00% Expected option life (years)6.25 6.25 6.25 Expected volatility73% - 82% 83% - 86% 86% - 97%F-34 Restricted Stock UnitsThe 2011 Plan also allows for granting of restricted stock unit awards under the terms of the Plan. The restricted stock units vest based upon a time-basedservice condition, a performance condition, or both. The probability that any performance criteria will be achieved is assessed by management andcompensation expense for such awards is only recorded to the extent that the attainment of the performance criteria is deemed to be probable. Restrictedstock units are recorded as compensation expense based on fair value, representing the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.The fair value of restricted stock units is amortized on a straight-line basis through the statement of operations over the service period until the shares havevested.

The ESPP is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” within themeaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The maximum fair market value of stock which can be purchased by a participant in a calendar year is$25,000. Under the ESPP, an aggregate of 3,000,000 ordinary shares (each ordinary share to be represented by one ADS) are reserved and available forissuance, which were registered with the SEC on August 2, 2017, for sale to eligible employees. Subject to certain exclusions, any employee of theCompany’s U.S. subsidiary, Amarin Pharma, Inc., who works at least 20 hours per week and has been employed for at least six months as of the first day of theapplicable offering period is eligible to participate in the ESPP. Eligible employees may authorize payroll deductions of up to 15 percent of their base pay tobe withheld to purchase ordinary shares, subject to terms and limitations of the plan, at a price equal to 85 percent of the lower of the fair market values of theCompany’s ordinary shares as of the beginning or the end of six-month offering periods. The initial enrollment and offering periods commence in 2018,therefore, no compensation expense was recognized and no shares were purchased for the year ended December 31, 2017.(13) Defined Contribution PlanThe Company makes available a 401(k) plan for its U.S. employees. Under the 401(k) plan, employees may make contributions which are eligible for adiscretionary percentage match, in cash, as defined in the 401(k) plan and determined by the Board of Directors. The Company recognized 0.4 million and$0.5 million of related compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 respectively. The Company did not make any contributions in2015.F-35 (14) Related Party TransactionsOctober 2009 Private PlacementSeveral of Amarin’s former directors and funds connected with them purchased approximately 36.0 million of its ADSs (in the form of common stock) in theOctober 2009 private placement, including: (i) 17 million ADSs purchased by funds managed by Abingworth LLP, where Dr. Joseph Anderson, a formerDirector of Amarin, is a partner; (ii) 7 million ADSs purchased by Orbimed Advisors LLC, where Dr. Carl L. Gordon, a former Director of Amarin, is a GeneralPartner; (iii) 7 million ADSs purchased by Sofinnova Venture Partners VII, L.P. (Sofinnova), where Dr. James I. Healy (“Dr. Healy”), a former Director ofAmarin, is a Managing General Partner; and (iv) 5 million ADSs purchased by Fountain Healthcare Partners Fund 1, L.P. Fountain Healthcare Partners Ltd. isthe sole General Partner of Fountain Healthcare Partners Fund 1, L.P. Dr. Manus Rogan is a Managing Partner of Fountain Healthcare Partners Ltd. and untilDecember 2011 was a non-executive director of Amarin. In addition, for every ADS purchased, the investor received warrants to purchase 0.5 (one half) of anADS. No warrants remained outstanding as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. Therefore, the fair value of the warrants held by the current and former directorsof the Company and their related investment funds amounted to zero.March 2015 Private PlacementOn March 30, 2015, in connection with the closing of the initial private placement described in Note 10—Equity, and pursuant to a pre-existing contractualright to participate in certain private placement transactions effected by the Company, the Company entered into a separate subscription agreement with anexisting investor, Sofinnova. The Company issued 38,867,180 restricted ADSs, each representing one Series A Preference Share, which may be consolidatedand redesignated from time to time up to a maximum of 3,886,718 ordinary shares, each ordinary share to be represented by one ADS. For each restrictedADS, Sofinnova paid a negotiated price of $0.15 (equating to $1.50 on an as-if-converted-to-ordinary-shares basis) resulting in gross proceeds to theCompany of $5.8 million. The shares are owned directly by Sofinnova. At the time of the transaction, Dr. Healy was a member of the Company’s Board and amanaging general partner of Sofinnova Management VII, L.L.C., which is the general partner of Sofinnova. Dr. Healy may have been deemed to have sharedvoting and dispositive power over the shares owned by Sofinnova, but disclaimed beneficial ownership over the shares owned by Sofinnova except to theextent of any pecuniary interest therein. Dr. Healy resigned as Director of the Company’s Board effective December 20, 2016.(15) Quarterly Summarized Financial Information (Unaudited) Fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 1stQuarter 2ndQuarter 3rdQuarter 4thQuarter 2017 2016 2017 2016 2017 2016 2017 2016 (In thousands, except per share amounts) Total revenue, net$34,637 $25,543 $45,241 $33,111 $47,360 $32,734 $53,866 $38,696 Net loss applicable to common shareholders (20,941) (29,771) (13,634) (13,354) (10,825) (15,772) (22,465) (27,453)Loss per share: Basic$(0.08) $(0.16) $(0.05) $(0.07) $(0.04) $(0.08) (0.08) $(0.10)Diluted$(0.08) $(0.16) $(0.05) $(0.07) $(0.04) $(0.08) (0.08) $(0.10) (16) Co-Promotion AgreementOn March 31, 2014, the Company entered into a Co-Promotion Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. related to thecommercialization of Vascepa® (icosapent ethyl) capsules in the United States. Under the terms of the Agreement, Amarin granted to Kowa PharmaceuticalsAmerica, Inc. the right to be the sole co-promoter, together with the Company, of Vascepa in the United States during the term. The initial term of theAgreement extends until the end of 2018. The Agreement was amended on July 25, 2017 to reflect evolving promotional needs, including refinement oftarget lists.During the term, Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. and Amarin have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to promote, detail and optimize sales ofVascepa in the United States. The performance requirements include a negotiated minimum number of details to be delivered by each party in the first andsecond position, and the use of a negotiated number of minimum sales representatives from each party. Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. has agreed tobear the costs incurred for its sales force associated with the commercialization of Vascepa and to pay for certain incremental costs associated with the use ofits sales force, such as sample costs and costs for promotional and marketing materials.
