Explanation of Responses:

1. The Ordinary Shares may be represented by American Depositary Shares, each of which currently represents one Ordinary Share.

2. As previously reported on July 8, 2015, the Reporting Person was granted 600,000 Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") under the Amarin Corporation plc 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). These RSUs vest in 16 equal quarterly installments. The sixteenth and final vesting event occurred on June 30, 2019.

3. Not applicable.

4. Please see the section titled "Remarks" below for additional information.

5. Represents withholding by the Issuer of shares in respect of tax liability incident to the vesting of a security issued in accordance with Rule 16b-3, and not a market sale of securities.

6. Each Restricted Stock Unit ("RSU") represents a contingent right to receive one Ordinary Share or cash in lieu thereof at the Issuer's discretion.

Remarks:

As of the date of this Form 4, the Reporting Person owns or holds the right to acquire an aggregate of 10,204,993 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer in the form of Ordinary Shares, stock options and RSUs granted under the Amarin Corporation plc 2002 Stock Option Plan and the Plan, including but not limited to, certain performance-based Restricted Stock Units that are earned only if product revenues reach pre-defined annual milestone levels, then vest only if the recipient remains with the company for multiple years following the reporting of REDUCE-IT results.
