JURY RETURNS REDUCED AWARD AGAINST INTERTAPE POLYMER GROUP INC.



Bradenton, Florida – February 14, 2011 – Intertape Polymer Group Inc. (TSX: ITP) (the “Company”) announced today that damages awarded to Inspired Technologies, Inc. (“ITI”) have again been significantly reduced, this time to $700,000.  The initial jury award in September 2010 against the Company’s subsidiary, Intertape Polymer Corp. (“Intertape”), was for $13,150,000. In December 2010, the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida granted Intertape’s post trial motion to reduce the amount, and it was lowered from the previous $13,150,000 to $3,000,000. ITI then requested a new trial and in a verdict rendered last Friday, the jury award was further decreased to $700,000.
