Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 5, 2010, AEP Industries Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Purchase Agreement and Amendment to Letter Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with KSA Capital Management, LLC (“KSA”), KSA Capital, LLC (“KSA Capital”), certain of KSA’s affiliates (the “Sellers”) and Mr. Daniel D. Khoshaba (KSA, KSA Capital, the Sellers and Mr. Khoshaba, collectively, the “KSA Investors”).

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on August 9, 2010 (the “Closing Date”), the Company purchased 400,476 shares of the Company’s common stock from Sellers for approximately $10.9 million, averaging $27.26 per share, plus brokerage commissions of approximately $8,000.

The Purchase Agreement also provided for Mr. Khoshaba’s resignation from the Company’s Board of Directors, effective as of the Closing Date.

Further, the Purchase Agreement amended that Letter Agreement, dated February 12, 2010, by and among the Company and the KSA Investors; see Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 16, 2010. In particular, the KSA Investors agreed to continue the specified customary standstill provisions and voting agreement through the Company’s 2011 annual meeting of stockholders. The standstill provisions provide, among other things, that the KSA Investors will not (a) engage in or in any way participate in a solicitation of proxies or consents with respect to the Company, (b) initiate any shareholder proposals, (c) control or seek to control, or influence or seek to influence, the management, the Board or the policies of the Company, and (d) have any discussions or communications, or enter into any arrangements, understanding or agreements (whether written or oral), with, or advise, finance, assist or encourage, any other person in connection with any of the foregoing. Additionally, the KSA Investors and their affiliates agreed not to purchase any additional shares of the Company’s common stock through the Company’s 2011 annual meeting of stockholders.

The foregoing summary of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

The information contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding Mr. Khoshaba’s resignation is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02. Effective upon such resignation, the Board voted to decrease the size of the Board from 10 directors to nine directors.

 

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

On August 5, 2010, the Company issued a press release announcing the Company’s agreement to repurchase shares from the Sellers, the resignation of Mr. Khoshaba from the Board, and a $6.5 million increase to the Company’s June 2010 stock repurchase program to allow for the repurchase of the shares from the Sellers. After giving effect to the repurchase of shares from the Sellers and previous repurchases made under the June 2010 stock repurchase program, the Company will have repurchased approximately $15.7 million of its common stock under the program.
