FORM 4

Name of Reporting Person:   Peter C. Georgiopoulos

Issuer Name and Ticker
or Trading Symbol:

 

General Maritime Corporation ("GMR")

Statement for Month/Day/Year:

 

November 26, 2002

Notes

        (1)  The 500,000 shares of common stock of the issuer received in the transaction reported on this form are a grant of restricted stock which will vest, if at all, in seven years from the date of grant (or earlier upon the death, disability, dismissal without cause or resignation for good reason of the recipient or upon a change of control of the issuer) and are owned directly by the reporting person. The reporting person, directly or through controlled entities, received the other 2,192,793 shares of common stock of the issuer which he owns in a recapitalization of the issuer on June 12, 2001 which initially closed following effectiveness of the issuer's initial public offering.

        (2)  The reporting person surrendered options to purchase 350,000 shares of the issuer's common stock for cancellation. Of these, options to purchase 87,500 shares of common stock of the issuer became exercisable on June 15, 2002. The remaining options would have become exercisable in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of such date.
