Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On April 29, 2025, Amarin Corporation plc (the “Company”) received written confirmation from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) informing the Company that it has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Bid Price Requirement”). Consequently, the Company is now in compliance with all applicable listing standards and will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
As previously disclosed, the Company was previously notified by the Staff that the Company was not in compliance with the Bid Price Requirement because the closing bid price for the Company’s American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) had been below the minimum $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. On April 11, 2025, the Company effected an adjustment in the ratio of its ADSs to its ordinary shares, £0.50 par value per share (“Ordinary Shares”) from one (1) ADS representing one (1) Ordinary Share to one (1) ADS representing twenty (20) Ordinary Shares, in an effort to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD
On April 29, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing that it regained compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. A copy of this press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information in this Item 7.01 and the attached Exhibit 99.1 are being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Exhibit 99.1
Amarin Regains Compliance with Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement
-- Nasdaq Compliance Follows ADS Ratio Change to Secure Company’s Public Listing --
-- Amarin Remains Focused on Maximizing the Global Value of VASCEPA/VAZKEPA –
DUBLIN, Ireland and BRIDGEWATER, N.J., April 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amarin Corporation plc (NASDAQ: AMRN) today announced it has regained compliance with the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) continued listing standard for minimum share price under Rule 5550(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications.
On April 29, 2025, the Company received confirmation from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq that as of April 28, 2025 the Company’s common stock had maintained an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the last 10 consecutive business days ending on that date. Accordingly, the Company’s shares are no longer considered to be below the minimum bid price requirement of Rule 5550(a)(2) and, as a result, the Company has regained compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing standards. Nasdaq now considers this matter closed.
Amarin is now in full compliance with all Nasdaq listing requirements and will continue to be listed and traded on Nasdaq.
“Today’s announcement is an important step for the Company by maintaining our public listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market,” said Aaron Berg, President & CEO, Amarin. “With this matter now behind us, we will continue our focus on maximizing the value of VASCEPA/VAZKEPA globally for the millions of patients who can benefit from it.”
