706 Mission Street                   Chief Executive Officer
San Francisco, California 94103      Fritz Companies, Inc.
(business)                           706 Mission Street
                                     San Francisco, California 94103
                                     (provider or integrated transportation
                                     logistics)

         During the last five years, Mr. Fritz has not been (a) convicted in a
     criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors)
     or (b) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body
     of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is
     subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations
     of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state
     securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

         Mr. Fritz believes that the price of Fritz common stock in the public
     market is under valued and intends to purchase additional shares from time
     to time. Mr. Fritz believes that the grants of restricted stock and stock

     and Compensation Committee's determination that such grants would be in the
     best interest of the Company.

         (b)   An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
               reorganization or liquidation, involving the issuer or any of its
               subsidiaries;

         (c)   A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the issuer
               or of any of its subsidiaries;

         (d)   Any change in the present board of directors or management of the

               structure;

         (g)   Changes in the issuer's charter, bylaws or instruments
               corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the
               acquisition of control of the issuer by any person;

         (h)   Causing a class of securities of the issuer to be delisted from a
               national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be
