On 12/31/16, Flamel Technologies S.A. ("Flamel") merged with and into Avadel Pharmaceuticals plc ("Avadel"). As a result of the Merger, Flamel's outstanding ordinary shares were cancelled and exchanged on a 1-for-1 basis for newly issued ordinary shares of Avadel, and all outstanding American Depositary Shares (ADSs) representing Flamel ordinary shares were cancelled and exchanged on a 1-for-1 basis for ADSs representing Avadel ordinary shares. The reporting person filed a Form 4 solely to report dispositions of Flamel securities as a result of the Merger, and filed a Form 3 to reflect the reporting person's new status as a director and/or executive officer of Avadel. This Form 4 reports the reporting person's acquisition of the same number and type of securities of Avadel in the Merger. The reporting person made no market sales or purchases in connection with the dispositions reported in the Form 4 referenced above or the acquisitions reported in this Form 4. Flamel Ordinary Shares and Flamel ADSs were exchanged in the Merger for an equal number of Avadel Ordinary Shares and Avadel ADSs (as applicable), respectively. See the explanation in the "Remarks" section below. Warrants were granted 06/24/2014 but were not exercisable until the first anniversary of the date of grant; on such first anniversary the warrants became exercisable for a 3-year period as to all 46,000 ADSs. The warrant exercise price per ADS may be paid in U.S. Dollars as shown in Item 4 of Table II or in Euros based on the exchange rate prevailing on the date of grant, or (euro)10.94 per ADS. Warrants were granted 06/26/2015 but are not exercisable until the first anniversary of the date of grant; on such first anniversary the warrants will become exercisable for a 3-year period as to all 54,026 ADSs. The warrant exercise price per ADS may be paid in U.S. Dollars as shown in Item 4 of Table II or in Euros based on the exchange rate prevailing on the date of grant, or (euro)19.34 per ADS.

The warrant exercise price per ADS may be paid in U.S. Dollars as shown in Item 4 of Table II or in Euros based on the exchange rate prevailing on the date of grant, or (euro) 12.16 per ADS. Warrants as to all 35,468 ADSs vest on 08/10/2017. This amendment to the Form 4 filed by the reporting person on January 3, 2017, as amended on January 13, 2017, is being filed to (i) report the disposition by the reporting person of the 15,000 Flamel ADS beneficially owned (i.e., the final transaction listed in Table I) on September 22, 2016 for $13.34 per ADS, and (ii) report the acquisition by the reporting person of the warrants to purchase 35,468 Avadel ADSs described in footnote 7 (i.e., the final transaction listed in Table II). Such warrants were acquired by the reporting person as a result of the Merger, in exchange for warrants to purchase the same number of Flamel ADSs which were originally granted to the reporting person on August 10, 2016. Due to an administrative oversight, the reporting person did not previously report (i) the disposition of the 15,000 Flamel ADSs on September 22, 2016, (ii) the acquisition of the 35,468 Flamel warrants on August 10, 2016, and (iii) the acquisition of the 35,468 Avadel warrants as a result of the Merger. As a result of this amendment, the remarks to Table I will state as follows: No non-derivative securities are beneficially owned. /s/ Phillandas T.
