AMENDED DISSIDENT PROXY CIRCULAR REMAINS DEFICIENT


INTERTAPE BOARD RECOMMENDS SHAREHOLDERS REJECT DISSIDENT PROPOSALS AND RECONFIRMS SUPPORT FOR PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED LITTLEJOHN TRANSACTION



Montreal, Quebec and Bradenton, Florida – June 22, 2007 – Intertape Polymer Group Inc. (TSX: ITP; NYSE: ITP) (“Intertape” or the “Company”) announced today that 6789536 Canada Inc. (the “Dissident”) has filed an amendment dated June 21, 2007 to its dissident proxy circular dated June 18, 2007 (the “Dissident Proxy Circular”).


The amendment to the Dissident Proxy Circular changes the Dissident’s proposal in respect of its nominees to the board of directors by reducing the number thereof from six to three. The Dissident Proxy Circular, as now amended, remains deficient in many respects, including as to the Dissident’s proposals as to the composition of the Board beyond the three nominees it is putting forward and the other deficiencies and flaws previously identified.


The Board of Intertape met today to consider the Dissident Proxy Circular, as amended, and determined that the Dissident’s proposals are not in the best interests of Intertape shareholders and involve significant risks. The Board confirmed its support for the announced proposed plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) involving the Company and an entity formed by Littlejohn Fund III, L.P., pursuant to which all of the outstanding common shares of the Company are to be acquired at a price of US$4.76 per share in cash as fully detailed in Intertape’s management information circular dated May 25, 2007. The Board continues to recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement.


Intertape is continuing to review the Dissident Proxy Circular, as amended, and the impacts and consequences of the deficiency and flaws identified and communicated so far as well as assessing its position and considering related matters.

Intertape's annual and special meeting of shareholders will be held at 4:00 PM (Montreal time) on June 26, 2007 at the Hotel Omni Mount Royal, Montreal, Quebec.
