Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
|
On November 26, 2018, Amarin Corporation plc (the Company, we, us and our) entered into an
underwriting agreement (the Underwriting Agreement) with Jefferies LLC and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (the Underwriters), pursuant to which the Company (i) agreed to issue and sell 11,111,112 American Depositary
Shares (ADSs) to the Underwriters at a price of $17.575 per share, which price includes what might be deemed an underwriting fee, and (ii) granted the Underwriters an option for 30 days to purchase up to an additional 1,666,666 ADSs
that may be sold upon the exercise of such option by the Underwriters at the same share price, with each ADS representing one of the Companys ordinary shares, par value £0.50 per share, in an underwritten public offering pursuant to
a Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-216385) and a related prospectus and prospectus supplement, in each case filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Offering).
The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the sale of the 11,111,112 ADSs in the Offering will be approximately $194.9 million, or
approximately $224.2 million if the Underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase 1,666,666 additional ASDs, after deducting the estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Offering closed on November 29, 2018. The Company
currently intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering (1) to support the ongoing commercialization of Vascepa following REDUCE-IT results, including (i) seeking regulatory approval to expand the approved label for Vascepa based on
the cardioprotective effect of Vascepa demonstrated in the REDUCE-IT study, beginning with submission of an sNDA to the FDA in early 2019, (ii) expansion of its sales force, and (iii) support of expanded commercial operations; (2) to
increase commercial supply of Vascepa from third-party drug product suppliers; and (3) for general corporate purposes.
In the
Underwriting Agreement, the Company makes customary representations, warranties and covenants and also agrees to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to
contribute to payments that the Underwriters may be required to make because of such liabilities. The Underwriting Agreement has been filed with this report to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not
intended to provide any other factual information about the Company. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the
benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. The foregoing is only a brief description of the material terms of the Underwriting Agreement and does not purport to be a complete
description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder. The Underwriting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this report, and the description of the terms of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such
exhibit. A copy of the opinion of K&L Gates LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the ADSs in the Offering is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.
