Item 8.01.—Other Events.

        On March 27, 2006, TransMontaigne Inc. announced that it had entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger with SemGroup, L.P. ("SemGroup"), SemGroup Holding, L.L.C., of which SemGroup is the sole member ("Parent"), and TMG Acquisition Company, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Co"). The merger agreement has been approved by our Board of Directors. On the closing date of the merger, all issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, including our outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, on an as-converted basis, will be exchanged for $9.75 per share in cash. Upon completion of the merger, TransMontaigne will become a privately-held company and its common stock will no longer be traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

        Additional information describing the terms of the merger agreement is included in TransMontaigne's press release dated March 27, 2006, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

        We will solicit the required stockholder approval of the merger agreement by means of a proxy statement, which will be mailed to our stockholders upon the completion of the required Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filing and review process. The proxy statement we plan to file with the SEC and mail to our stockholders will contain information about us, the proposed merger and related matters. Stockholders are urged to read the proxy statement carefully when it is available, as it will contain important information that stockholders should consider before making a decision about the merger agreement. In addition to receiving the proxy statement from us by mail, stockholders also will be able to obtain the proxy statement, as well as other filings containing information about TransMontaigne, without charge, from the Securities and Exchange Commission's website (http://www.sec.gov) or, without charge, from us at http://www.transmontaigne.com. This announcement is neither a solicitation of proxy, an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell shares of TransMontaigne. We and our executive officers and directors may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from our stockholders with respect to the proposed merger. Information regarding any interests that our executive officers and directors may have in the transaction will be set forth in the proxy statement.
