- Directorate Changes and Proposed Delisting following

Terra Firma Offer Being Declared Unconditional in All Respects

Directorate Changes

EMI Group plc ("EMI" or the "Company") announces that, following the announcement earlier today by Maltby Limited ("Maltby") that its recommended cash offer to acquire the whole of the issued and to be issued share capital of EMI (the "Offer") has been declared unconditional in all respects (the "Wholly Unconditional Announcement"), Sly Bailey, Kevin Carton, Peter Georgescu and David Londoner resigned as Non-executive Directors of the Company with effect from the time of Wholly Unconditional Announcement.   John Gildersleeve, Non-executive Chairman, will remain with the Company until it delists, at which point he will also resign.

Delisting of ordinary shares of 14 pence each in the capital of the Company (ISIN:GB0000444736) ("EMI Shares")

EMI also announces that, following the Wholly Unconditional Announcement and the applications earlier today by the Company to the Financial Services Authority for the cancellation of the listing of EMI Shares on the Official List and to the London Stock Exchange for the cancellation of the admission of EMI Shares to trading on the London Stock Exchange’s market for listed securities (the "Cancellations"), EMI expects that the Cancellations will take effect at 8.00am on Tuesday, 18th September 2007.

In accordance with the Listing Rules of the Financial Services Authority and as envisaged by Maltby’s offer document dated 30th May 2007 in respect of the Offer, Maltby now has, by virtue of acceptances of the Offer, agreed to acquire issued ordinary share capital carrying over 75% of the voting rights attaching to the EMI Shares and the Cancellations will take effect no earlier than on the expiry of the 20 business day period for delisting referred to in the Offer Document which has commenced today.

Delisting will significantly reduce the liquidity and marketability of any EMI Shares not acquired under the Offer at that time.
