Amarin Announces Plan to Initiate a Ratio Change Under Its American Depository Receipt (ADR) Program
March 12 2025 - 7:01AM
Amarin Corporation plc (NASDAQ: AMRN), today announced its intent
to effect a ratio change on its American Depositary Shares (“ADS”)
from one (1) ADS representing one (1) ordinary share, to the new
ratio of one (1) ADS representing twenty (20) ordinary shares (the
"Ratio Change"). The effective date of the Ratio Change is expected
to be on or about April 11, 2025 (the “Effective Date”).
The ordinary shares of Amarin Corporation (the
“Company”) will not be affected by this adjustment. The ADSs will
continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol
“AMRN”.
The objective of the Ratio Change is to increase
the per share market price of the Company’s ADSs to comply with
Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid price per share requirement and maintain
the Company’s listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. On the
Effective Date, holders of uncertificated ADSs in the Direct
Registration System (“DRS”) and in the Depository Trust
Company (“DTC”) do not need to take any action, as the
exchange of every twenty (20) then-held (existing) ADSs for one (1)
new ADS will occur automatically. Registered holders of
certificated ADSs will be required to surrender their certificated
ADSs to the depositary bank for cancellation and will receive one
(1) new ADS for every twenty (20) existing ADS surrendered.
No fractional new ADSs will be issued in
connection with the Ratio Change. Rather, fractional entitlements
to new ADSs will be aggregated and sold by the depositary bank, and
the net cash proceeds from the sale of the fractional ADS
entitlements (after deduction of taxes) will be distributed to the
applicable ADS holders by the depositary bank.
As a result of the Ratio Change, the trading
price of the Company’s ADSs is expected to increase proportionally,
but the Company can give no assurance that the trading price per
ADS after the Ratio Change will be equal to or greater than twenty
(20) times the trading price per ADS before the adjustment.

Ratio Change can be found under the Investor Relations section of
