REACQUIRES COMMON SHARES NYSE SYMBOL: ITP TSX SYMBOL: ITP Montreal, Quebec and Bradenton, Florida--November 15, 2005 - Intertape Polymer Group Inc. (NYSE, TSX: ITP) today announced that it has reacquired and will cancel 250,587 of its common shares which had been held in escrow in connection with the acquisition of Olympian Tape Sales Inc. d/b/a United Tape Company in 2000. The shares had been held in escrow pending the resolution of certain third party legal claims arising from the acquisition. As a result of the resolution of such claims and the related expense incurred in connection therewith, Intertape became entitled to reacquire the escrowed shares. Andrew Archibald, C.A., Chief Financial Officer, stated that "When, as a result of the amicable resolution of certain post closing matters these shares became available, IPG elected to cancel them rather than have them sold into the market. These shares were acquired outside of the scope of our normal course issuer bid pursuant to the terms of the agreements entered into at the time of the acquisition."
