Los Angeles, California, July 20, 2007 - The EMI\'s spokesperson declared that they
offer no comments regarding the announcements of Warner Music. It was in May when
the EMI\'s board of directors recommended for its shareholders to accept a $4.88
billion take-over being offered by the Terra Firma.

Since the board recommendation, Terra Firma gave an extension deadline for EMI to
decide on accepting their offer. The most recent deadline set was for July 19,
Friday. Still, many of EMI\'s stockholders have waited to see if Warner Music would
present an offer that would be more lucrative than that of Terra Firma\'s.

The Warner Music, which is home to popular recording artists like Madonna and the
Red Hot Chili Peppers had been known to be pondering over putting forward an offer
to obtain EMI, which is also a home for equally popular artists namely Joss Stone
and Coldplay. Edgar M. Bronfman Jr. is the Warner\'s chief executive and chairperson
is the heir to the liquor fortune, Seagram.

During the past seven years, these two companies leading in the music and recording
industry have discussed about creating a merger in an on-and-off basis. The repeated
discussions were usually hindered during several instances due to regulatory
indecision and failure to agree on the price.

During the most recent round of discussions last March, Warner put in an offer for
$4.2 billion. This bid was rejected by EMI. Consequently, two months later, they
accepted the offer made by Terra Firma, which was put forward by the firm\'s
financier, Guy Hands.

The Terra Firma\'s take-over medium, Maltby Ltd. announced during the past week that
they have received acceptances for about 3.82% of the share capital issued by EMI
under their take-over offer.

EMI considered the offer made by Terra Firma as the best among the other proposals
they have received.
