At the 2001 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Triton Energy Limited, to be

Please note that certain information contained in the presentation, as well
as written and oral statements made or incorporated by reference from time to
time by Triton and our representatives in our reports and filings with the

"intends," "plans," "budgets," "may," "will," "should" and similar expressions
are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements are based on then current expectations and
involve a number of risks and uncertainties, which are discussed in detail in
our Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, and our quarterly report on Form
10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2001, as well as in the context of such

materially from those expressed in or implied by such statements due to these

We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statements or to disclose the fact that our internal forecasts may have changed,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
