AEP INDUSTRIES INC. (NASDAQ:AEPI) Files An 8-K Other Events

Item8.01.

On December15, 2016, AEP Industries Inc., a Delaware corporation
(AEP), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC) a proxy statement/prospectus (the Proxy
Statement/Prospectus) with respect to a special meeting of AEPs
stockholders scheduled to be held on January18, 2017 to, among
other things, vote on the approval of the mergers (the mergers)
with Berry Plastics Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Berry)
and related entities.

Important information concerning the proposed mergers is set
forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. The Proxy
Statement/Prospectus is amended and supplemented by the
information set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and
this Current Report on Form 8-K should be read as part of, and in
conjunction with, Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Capitalized terms
used in this Current Report on Form 8-K but not otherwise defined
herein have the meanings ascribed to those terms in the Proxy
Statement/Prospectus.

As previously disclosed in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, AEPs
executive officers may have interests in the mergers that are in
addition to or different from those of AEP stockholders
generally, including certain rights with respect to unvested
equity awards.

Since the filing of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, AEP
discovered it had made an inadvertent error on the grant date,
January7, 2016, in calculating and reporting the number of
performance units granted to its executive officers by its
Compensation Committee on January7, 2016. The Proxy
Statement/Prospectus and prior AEP periodic reports filed with
the SEC in fiscal 2016 disclosed 40,257 performance units were
granted in the aggregate as of such date when in fact the correct
number is 43,571 performance units granted in aggregate. The
supplemental information set forth below, including the updated
charts to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, reflects the 43,571
performance units granted in aggregate, as well as updated grants
for each applicable AEP executive officer, on January7, 2016 and
a general update to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

AEP believes the additional information provided below is not
material to AEP stockholders but is providing the supplemental
disclosures to correct the error. Nothing in this Current Report
on Form 8-K shall be deemed an admission of the legal necessity
or materiality under applicable laws of any of the supplemental
disclosures set forth herein.

If you have any questions about any of the matters to be voted on
at AEPs special meeting, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or this
Current Report on Form 8-K, would like additional copies of the
Proxy Statement/Prospectus or need to obtain proxy cards or other
