According to the lawsuit, defendants issued materially false and misleading statements about Amarin's true business and financial condition in violation of the federal securities laws. Specifically, the complaint alleges that: (i) defendants misrepresented the prospects for U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approval of Amarin's lead product Vascepa, which supposedly reduces triglycerides levels in adult patients; and (ii) defendants failed to disclose that the FDA had informed Amarin that there was a lack of prospective, controlled clinical trial data indicating that pharmaceutical reduction of triglycerides significantly reduces residual cardiovascular risk. The complaint alleges that when this adverse information was disclosed, it caused the price of Amarin stock to drop, damaging investors.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed on behalf of Amarin investors. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 3, 2014.
