Amarin Corporation plc announced that Colin W. Stewart has been appointed President, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors effective August 16, 2010. Mr. Stewart will be responsible for driving forward the Company’s strategy to maximize the value of its lead product, AMR101, a new drug being studied in Phase 3 clinical trials for the treatment of high triglycerides.

He began his career in sales and marketing for Winthrop Laboratories, Ltd. in the United Kingdom, and subsequently held a number of positions of increasing responsibility within the Sterling-Winthrop Group.

Dr. Declan Doogan, who has been serving as the Company’s Interim CEO, will continue to support the Company as Chief Medical Officer providing Amarin access to the majority of his time.
