        <footnote id="F1">The Ordinary Shares may be represented by American Depositary Shares, each of which currently represents one Ordinary Share.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">On February 1, 2012, the Reporting Person was granted 41,700 restricted stock units (the &quot;RSUs&quot;) under the Amarin Corporation plc 2011 Stock Incentive Plan. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one Ordinary Share or cash in lieu thereof at the Issuer's discretion. The RSUs vest in six equal installments based on the Issuer's satisfaction of certain performance criteria and continued employment of the Reporting Person as provided in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement between the Issuer and the Reporting Person. The vesting criteria for the second installment was met, resulting in vesting of 6,950 RSUs.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one Ordinary Share or cash in lieu thereof at the Issuer's discretion.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">These RSUs vested on July 26, 2013. Ordinary Shares will be delivered to the Reporting Person as soon as practicable after the vesting date.</footnote>
    </footnotes>

    <remarks>As of the date of this Form 4, the Reporting Person owns or holds the right to acquire, subject to vesting conditions, an aggregate of 759,500 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer in the form of (i) stock options and Restricted Stock Units granted under the Amarin Corporation plc 2011 Stock Option Plan and (ii) 6,950 Ordinary Shares.</remarks>
