Item 2.01.                      Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On July 22, 2010, Appleton Papers Inc. (the “Company”) completed its previously announced sale (the “Sale”) of the outstanding capital stock of American Plastics Company, Inc. (“American Plastics”) and New England Extrusion Inc. (“New England Extrusion”) to NEX Performance Films Inc. (“Buyer”), an entity affiliated with Mason Wells Buyout Fund II, Limited Partnership. The Sale was effected pursuant to the terms of a stock purchase agreement, dated as of July 2, 2010, by and between the Company and Buyer (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”).

American Plastics and New England Extrusion engage in the manufacture, marketing and sale of high-quality single and multilayer polyethylene films for packaging applications.

The Company received gross proceeds of $58,000,000, of which $56,000,000 was paid to the Company at closing and $2,000,000 is scheduled to be held in escrow on behalf of the Company for 12 months to satisfy potential claims under the Stock Purchase Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Sale is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Stock Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto, and incorporated by reference herein. There are representations and warranties contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement that were made by the parties to each other as of specific dates. The assertions embodied in these representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the Stock Purchase Agreement and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating its terms. Moreover, certain representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date because they are subject to a contractual standard of materiality that is different from certain standards generally applicable to shareholders or were used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Based upon the foregoing reasons, no person should rely on the representations and warranties as statements of factual information.

The required pro forma condensed consolidated financial information giving effect to the Sale is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
