Intertape Polymer Group® Updates Situation on Extreme Weather at

South Carolina Facilities

MONTREAL, QUEBEC and SARASOTA, FLORIDA – October 6, 2015 – Intertape Polymer Group Inc. (TSX: ITP) (“IPG®” or the “Company”) today announced that the significant rainfall and subsequent severe flooding in South Carolina has forced the temporary shutdown of its manufacturing facility in Columbia, South Carolina.

“At this time it is premature to determine the extent of damage nor the period of time that the facility will be down,” stated Greg Yull, IPG’s President and CEO. “We are just now beginning an assessment of the situation, a process that is being complicated by the damage to and accessibility of the area’s road infrastructure. We believe that any damages incurred will be covered by insurance.”

The new Blythewood, South Carolina facility has not been damaged, however the Company has temporarily shut down production in the facility in order to ensure the safety of its employees in commuting to work and dealing with any personal damages they may have suffered. The Company expects the Blythewood facility to resume production before the end of this week.
