LLC and an investment adviser registered under Section 203 of the

Pyramis Global Advisors Trust Company ("PGATC"), 900 Salem

subsidiary of FMR LLC and a bank as defined in Section 3(a)(6) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is the beneficial owner of 407,700 shares
or 0.671 % of the outstanding Common Stock of the INTERTAPE POLYMER GROUP

44,200 shares and sole power to vote or to direct the voting of 83,300
shares of Common Stock owned by the institutional accounts managed by PGATC

Members of the family of Edward C. Johnson 3d, Chairman of
FMR LLC, are the predominant owners, directly or through trusts, of Series
B voting common shares of FMR LLC, representing 49% of the voting power of
FMR LLC. The Johnson family group and all other Series B shareholders have
entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under which all Series B
voting common shares will be voted in accordance with the majority vote of
Series B voting common shares. Accordingly, through their ownership of
voting common shares and the execution of the shareholders' voting
agreement, members of the Johnson family may be deemed, under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, to form a controlling group with respect to
FMR LLC.
FIL Limited ("FIL"), Pembroke Hall, 42 Crow Lane, Hamilton,
Bermuda, and various foreign-based subsidiaries provide investment advisory
and management services to a number of non-U.S. investment companies and
certain institutional investors. FIL, which is a qualified institution
under section 240.13d-1(b)(1)(ii), is the beneficial owner of 14,400 shares

Partnerships controlled predominantly by members of the
family of Edward C. Johnson 3d, Chairman of FMR LLC and FIL, or trusts for
their benefit, own shares of FIL voting stock. While the percentage of
total voting power represented by these shares may fluctuate as a result of
changes in the total number of shares of FIL voting stock outstanding from
time to time, it normally represents more than 25% and less than 50% of the
total votes which may be cast by all holders of FIL voting stock. FMR LLC
and FIL are separate and independent corporate entities, and their Boards
of Directors are generally composed of different individuals.
FMR LLC and FIL are of the view that they are not acting as
a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (the "1934" Act) and that they are not otherwise required to
attribute to each other the "beneficial ownership" of securities
"beneficially owned" by the other corporation within the meaning of Rule
13d-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act. Therefore, they are of the view that
the shares held by the other corporation need not be aggregated for
purposes of Section 13(d). However, FMR LLC is making this filing on a
voluntary basis as if all of the shares are beneficially owned by FMR LLC
and FIL on a joint basis.
FIL has sole dispositive power over 0 shares owned by the
International Funds. FIL has sole power to vote or direct the voting of 0
shares and no power to vote or direct the voting of 14,400 shares of Common
Stock held by the International Funds as reported above.
