EXPLANATORY NOTE

        On August 29, 1997, 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 "Original Registration Statement"), covering the registration 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.

        On October 17, 2001, the Registrant filed with the Commission another Registration Statement on Form S-8, File No. 333-71724 (the "Prior Registration Statement"), covering the registration of 2,312,095 shares of common stock, representing the aggregate of the one percent increases under the evergreen feature for June 30, 2000 and 2001. The Registrant is filing this Registration Statement on Form S-8 covering the registration of 1,124,628 shares of common stock, representing the aggregate of the one percent increases under the evergreen feature for June 30, 2002, 2003 and 2004. After giving effect to the foregoing increases, the total number of shares of common stock issued or available for issuance under the Plan as of February 23, 2005 is 5,236,723.
