NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Nov 15, 2013) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, reminds investors in Amarin Corporation PLC ("Amarin" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: AMRN) of the January 3, 2014 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action lawsuit filed against Amarin and certain executives.

A complaint has been filed on behalf of all persons who purchased Amarin common stock between July 9, 2009 and October 15, 2013 (the "Class Period") in the District of New Jersey.

The complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws with respect to its disclosures concerning its business, operations, and prospects.

Specifically, the action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Amarin issued false and/or misleading statements regarding the prospects of the FDA approving Vascepa, the Company's lead product.

On October 16, 2013, Amarin announced that the FDA's Endrocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee had voted 9 to 2 against approval of Vascepa.

Following this news, the Company's stock declined $3.16 per share, or over 61%, to close at $2.01 per share on October 17, 2013.
