NOTICE OF REDEMPTION

EMI Group plc (the "Company") hereby announces that it intends to redeem all of its outstanding 8.25% Bonds due 2008 on 11 September 2007 (the "Redemption Date") pursuant to Condition 6(d) of the terms and conditions of the Bonds as set out in Part II of the Second Schedule to the Trust Deed dated 20 May 2002, as supplemented and amended, between the Company and The Law Debenture Trust Corporation p.l.c. (the "Trustee").

The Bonds are listed on the London Stock Exchange.

Unless otherwise defined in this notice, terms defined herein have the same meaning as in the terms and conditions of the Bonds.

The entire £325,000,000 aggregate outstanding principal amount of Bonds shall be redeemed at a price equal to the higher of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such Bonds and (ii) the price (as reported in writing to the Company and the Trustee by a financial adviser approved by the Trustee) at which the Gross Redemption Yield on the Calculation Date (2 London Business Days prior to the Redemption Date) is equal to the Gross Redemption Yield at 3.00pm London time on that date of an appropriate reference stock, determined in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Bonds, plus any additional amounts in respect of withholding taxes, to the extent applicable, and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to (but excluding) the Redemption Date (the "Redemption Price") in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Bonds.

The Bonds are represented by Global Bonds, and such Global Bond(s) is/are held on behalf of Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg. This notice has been delivered to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg.

On the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each Bond redeemed.  Unless the Company defaults in paying the Redemption Price to holders of Bonds called for redemption, interest on such Bonds shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date.  Thereupon, the only remaining right of holders of Bonds called for redemption shall be the receipt of the Redemption Price.

Upon the redemption, HSBC Bank Plc as Principal Paying Agent, shall endorse Part I of the Schedule to the original permanent global bond and Part I of the Schedule to the new permanent global bond to reflect the decrease in principal amount, as the case may be, resulting from such redemption.  If any Bond contains an ISIN or Common Code, no representation is made herein as to the correctness of the ISIN or Common Code as printed on the Bonds.  Holders of the Bonds called for redemption may only rely upon the other identification numbers printed on the Bonds for verification of the correctness of such ISIN or Common Code.
