Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On October 1, 2024, Tom Reilly notified Amarin Corporation plc (the “Company”) of his decision to voluntarily resign as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Head of Global HR & Finance, effective October 23, 2024, to pursue another opportunity. Mr. Reilly’s decision to voluntarily resign was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s financial statements, operations, policies or practices, including accounting principles and practices.

In the interim, the Company’s Vice President, Global Controller, Peter Fishman, will assume the duties as principal financial officer and principal accounting officer of the Company, reporting to the CEO, Aaron Berg, until the Company appoints a permanent replacement. Mr. Fishman has served as the Company’s Global Controller since October 2022 and held roles of increasing responsibility within Amarin’s Finance team since 2019. Overall, Mr. Fishman has nearly 20 years’ experience in various roles including accounting, financial reporting, tax and audit. The Company is assessing next steps to identify a successor for the CFO role.
