Statement on Schedule 13D
 
Due to the Issuer’s multiple Central Index Keys (“CIK”), this Amendment No. 3 was originally filed under the Issuer’s CIK 0001120246 on August 30, 2010, and this duplicate copy of such Amendment No. 3 is now being filed under the Issuer’s CIK 0000897448 at the request of the Issuer.
 
This Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D initially filed on July 8, 2009, as amended July 27, 2009 and October 27, 2009 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”) on behalf of Sofinnova Venture Partners VII, L.P., Sofinnova Management VII, L.L.C., Dr. Michael F. Powell, Dr. James I. Healy, and Eric P. Buatois (collectively, the “Sofinnova Reporting Persons”) and certain other reporting persons (collectively, the “Other Group Reporting Persons”) relating to the beneficial ownership of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) of ordinary shares, 50 pence par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) of Amarin Corporation plc (the “Issuer”).  This Amendment No. 3 is being filed to update the information relating to the Sofinnova Reporting Persons contained in the Schedule 13D as a result of the acquisition of 1% or more of Issuer’s ADSs by the Sofinnova Reporting Persons, and is being filed solely by the Sofinnova Reporting Persons.  This Amendment No. 3 does not update any information relating to the Other Group Reporting Persons or the Other 2009 Investors (as defined in the Schedule 13D) except to the extent that the Sofinnova Reporting Persons are aware of changes in ownership by such other persons as the result of Section 13 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as set forth below, this Amendment No. 3 does not supplement, restate or amend any of the other information disclosed in the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms not defined in this Amendment No. 3 have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.
 
ITEM 3.                 Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
 
 
Item 3 of Schedule 13D is amended to add the following information with respect to the Sofinnova Reporting Persons:   SVP VII purchased 3,426,430 ADSs at an average price of $2.8447 per share in a series of block trades and in the open market from 8/18/2010 to 8/25/2010.  The source of the funds for the shares was working capital.
 
ITEM 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
 
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended to add the following information with respect to the Sofinnova Reporting Persons:

The Sofinnova Reporting Persons purchased the securities of the Issuer reported in Amendment No. 3 for investment purposes.  Depending on the factors discussed herein, the Sofinnova Reporting Persons may, from time to time, acquire additional ADSs and/or retain and/or sell all or a portion of the ADSs held by the Sofinnova Reporting Persons in the open market, in block trades or in privately negotiated transactions, and/or may distribute the ADSs held by the Sofinnova Reporting Persons to their respective partners. Any actions the Sofinnova Reporting Persons might undertake will be dependent upon the Sofinnova Reporting Persons' review of numerous factors, including, among other things, the price levels of the ADSs, general market and economic conditions, ongoing evaluation of the Company's business, financial condition, operations and prospects; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities, and other future developments. Except as set forth above, the Sofinnova Reporting Persons have no present plans or intentions which would result in or relate to any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.


 
ITEM 5.                 Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
Item 5(a) of the Schedule 13D is amended to amend and restate the references to Rows 7-11 and 13 of the cover page for the Sofinnova Reporting Persons as follows:
 
See Rows 7-11 and 13 of the cover page filed with this Amendment No. 3 for each Sofinnova Reporting Person. The percentage listed in Row 13 for each Sofinnova Reporting Person was calculated based upon 102,301,982 Ordinary Shares outstanding (includes 98,801,982 Ordinary Shares as of June 25, 2010, as reported by the Issuer and 3,500,000 Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs subject to currently exercisable warrants held by Sofinnova Reporting Persons).
 
Item 5(a) of the Schedule 13D is further amended to add the following information:
 
The Sofinnova Reporting Persons are not aware of any changes in ownership by Other Group Reporting Persons except that OrbiMed Capital GP III LLC, OrbiMed Associates III, LP and OrbiMed Advisors LLC filed a Schedule 13D including amendments thereto (as amended, the “OrbiMed Schedule 13D”) reporting the  acquisition of certain   additional ADSs by OrbiMed Capital GP III LLC, OrbiMed Associates III, L.P. and OrbiMed Advisors, with a resulting ownership of 652,900 ADSs (0.52%), 129,811 ADSs (0.10%) and 135,621 ADSs (0.11%) respectively.   Based on the OrbiMed Section 13D and as a result of the acquisition of the ADSs by the Sofinnova Reporting Persons reported in this Amendment No. 3, the Sofinnova Reporting Persons believe that the group formed by the Sofinnova Reporting Persons and the Other Group Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own in the aggregate 45,987,309 ADSs (which includes 11,250,000 Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs issuable pursuant to currently exercisable  warrants held by the Sofinnova Reporting Group and the Other Group Reporting Person), which represents 41.79% of Ordinary Shares outstanding of the Issuer (based on 110,051,982 Ordinary Shares outstanding, which  includes 98,801,982 Ordinary Shares as of June 25, 2010, as reported by the Issuer and 11,250,000 Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs issuable pursuant to currently exerciseable warrants held by the Sofinnova Reporting Persons and the Other Group Reporting Persons). 
 
The Sofinnova Reporting Persons are not aware of any changes in ownership by the Other 2009 Investors except that Boxer Capital LLC has filed amendments to its Schedule 13D (as amended, the “Boxer Schedule 13D”) reporting the disposition of certain ADSs, with a remaining ownership of 1,625,00 ADSs (1.30%).  Based the Boxer Schedule 13D, the OrbiMed Schedule 13D and the acquisition ADSs by the Sofinnova Reporting Persons reported by this Amendment No. 3, the Sofinnova Reporting Persons believe that the group formed by the Sofinnova Reporting Persons, the Other Group Reporting Persons and the Other 2009 Investors who together entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated October 12, 2009, and are parties to that certain Management Rights Deed of Agreement entered into in connection therewith, may be deemed to beneficially own in the aggregate 88,163,786 ADSs (which includes 25,895,878 Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs issuable pursuant to currently exerciseable warrants held by Investors), which represents 70.70% of Ordinary Shares outstanding of the Issuer (based on 124,697,860 Ordinary Shares outstanding, which  includes 98,801,982 Ordinary Shares as of June 25, 2010, as reported by the Issuer and 25,895,878 Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs issuable pursuant to  currently exerciseable warrants held by Sofinnova Reporting Persons, the Other Group Reporting Persons and the Other 2009 Investors). 

  
Item 5(b) of the Schedule 13D is amended to add the following information regarding the Sofinnova Reporting Persons:  Other than the following block trade and open market purchases of ADSs, the Sofinnova Reporting Persons have not engaged in any transactions in ADSs or Ordinary Shares in the past 60 days.
