 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Amarin Corporation plc (the &#147;Company&#148;) has established a
website,<U>&nbsp;https://www.voteamarin.com/</U>, to communicate with the Company&#146;s shareholders regarding its solicitation of proxies from shareholders at the Company&#146;s Special General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on
February&nbsp;28, 2023. Below is an email to employees issued by the Company on February&nbsp;21, 2023. The Company has filed a definitive proxy statement (DEFC14A) and WHITE proxy card with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection
with its solicitation of proxies from shareholders. Shareholders are strongly encouraged to read such proxy statement and accompanying WHITE proxy card as they contain important information. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>The following is an employee email issued by the Company: </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Subject: Important Message from Karim Mikhail </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Dear
Colleagues, </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">I know there have been a lot of communications about the proxy contest over the past few weeks both from me personally and in the public
domain. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As I said from the outset, this aggressive public back and forth is typical in a contested election. However, you may have seen that Sarissa has
continued to print factually inaccurate information at the expense of our Company. I can&#146;t speak for why Sarissa is making these false statements, but I can speak to the facts about Amarin and what steps we are taking to hold Sarissa
accountable. We have publicly corrected every misstatement in the strongest terms possible and have alerted the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) about Sarissa&#146;s falsehoods and wrongdoings. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When this proxy contest ends, regardless of the outcome, we all must continue to stay focused on our important work of getting VASCEPA/VAZKEPA into the hands
of our patients who need it &#151; I know you all are up to the task! The last 18 months at Amarin have been transformative and exceeded my expectations for where we would be. A significant transformation like this is not easy and it doesn&#146;t
happen overnight. We have reimagined the Company from our people to our strategy to our investments, and I could not be prouder of what we have achieved together. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It&#146;s not just me who recognizes our hard work and what we have achieved. Our Board of Directors stands firmly behind our team and has the utmost
confidence in Amarin&#146;s future. Our success in stabilizing our U.S. business, the positive pricing and reimbursement discussions we are having every day in Europe, and our regulatory efforts across International reaffirm our unique product and
the importance of Amarin&#146;s mission. We must not let up on our critical work and continue driving forward toward successful outcomes, because this will make a difference for patients. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On behalf of the entire Board, thank you for all of your hard work and your continued commitment to Amarin. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Regards, </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Karim Mikhail </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">President&nbsp;&amp; Chief Executive Officer </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Consistent with
company policy, if you receive any inquiries from members of the media, analysts, or investors, please direct them to Lisa DeFrancesco or Mark Marmur. </I></P>
