EXPLANATORY NOTE
TransMontaigne Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Registrant"), filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities
Act the Registration Statement on Form S-8, File No. 333-34579 (the "Prior
Registration Statement"), covering the registration on August 29, 1997 of
1,800,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the
TransMontaigne Oil Company Equity Incentive Plan as then in effect (the
"Original Plan").
Effective as of March 17, 1999, the Registrant's Board of Directors
approved two amendments to the Original Plan (as so amended, the "Plan"). The
first amendment, ratified by the stockholders of the Registrant on November 18,
1999, (1) increased the number of shares of common stock available for issuance
thereunder by 1,700,000 shares to a total of 3,500,000, (2) added an "evergreen"
feature pursuant to which the number of shares available for issuance under the
Plan increases annually, beginning on June 30, 2000, by a number of shares of
common stock of the Registrant equal to one percent of the total number of
issued and outstanding shares of common stock on the last day of immediately
preceding fiscal year (June 30), and (3) changed the name of the Plan to
"TransMontaigne Inc. Equity Incentive Plan." The second amendment changed the
definition of "change in control" under the Plan. Accordingly, after giving
effect to the one percent increases on June 30, 2000 and 2001, the total number
of shares of common stock issued or available for issuance under the Plan as of
October 17, 2001 is 4,112,095.

the meaning of Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act),
other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under
an employee benefit plan of the Company, is or becomes the

during any period of three consecutive years (not including any
period prior to the Effective Date), individuals who at the

election by the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of
at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who

election or nomination for election was previously so approved)
cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof; or (c) the

the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company
or such surviving entity
outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or
the stockholders approve a plan of complete liquidation of the

force and effect.
