        <footnote id="F3">On March 11, 2014, the Reporting Person was granted 24,000 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, with settlement to be made on a deferred basis, specifically upon the non-employee director's separation of service with the Company. The RSUs vest in equal annual installments over a three-year period, with each installment vesting each year upon the earlier of (i) the anniversary of the grant date of March 11, 2014 or (ii) the Issuer's annual meeting of stockholders in such year.</footnote>
