Item 1.

Security and Issuer.

	No material change from the Schedule 13D filed on April 6, 2010.

Item 2.

Identity and Background.

	No material change from the Schedule 13D filed on April 6, 2010.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

	As of the date hereof KSA Capital Management may be deemed to beneficially own 955,267 Shares. As of the date hereof Daniel Khoshaba may be deemed to beneficially own 955,267 Shares. No borrowed funds were used to purchase the Shares, other than any borrowed funds used for working capital purposes in the ordinary course of business.

Item 4.	Purpose of Transaction.

	On August 5, 2010, AEP Industries Inc. (the "Issuer") and KSA Capital Management, LLC ("KSA Capital") entered into an agreement whereby the Issuer will repurchase 400,476 shares of its common stock (or approximately 6.0% of the outstanding) from investment funds affiliated with KSA Capital in a privately negotiated transaction at an aggregate purchase price of $10.92 million, or an average share price of $27.26 per share, plus brokerage commissions (the "Purchase Agreement"). The purchase price per share represents a discount of 4.8% to August 4th's closing price of the Issuer's common stock. The closing of the repurchase of such shares took place on August 9, 2010 and reduced KSA Capital's beneficial ownership of the Issuer's common stock from approximately 20.3% to approximately 15.2% (after giving effect to the share repurchase). KSA Capital and its affiliates have agreed to continue their existing standstill restrictions, to vote in favor of the Board's nominees at the Issuer's 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and to not purchase additional shares of the Issuer, through the Issuer's 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (each as described in Item 6 below). On August 9, 2010, concurrent with the aforementioned closing of the repurchase of shares, Mr. Daniel Khoshaba, the managing member of KSA Capital, resigned from the Board of Directors of the Issuer because he determined that his responsibilities to the investors in KSA Capital may create a potential conflict with his responsibilities as a director of the Issuer. The Reporting Persons continue to believe in the long term value of AEP Industries and we are excited about its future prospects. Except as set forth above, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals as of the date of this filing which relate to, or would result in, any of the actions enumerated in Item 4 of the instructions to Schedule 13D.

Item 5.	Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
	(a, b) As of the date hereof, KSA Capital Management may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 955,267 Shares, constituting 15.2% of the Shares of the Issuer, based upon the 6,285,651 Shares outstanding based on information provided to the Reporting Persons by the Issuer. KSA Capital Management has the sole power to vote or direct the vote of 0 Shares; has the shared power to vote or direct the vote of 955,267 Shares; has sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of 0 Shares; and has shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of 955,267 Shares. KSA Capital Management specifically disclaims beneficial ownership in the Shares reported herein except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein. As of the date hereof, Daniel Khoshaba may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 955,267 Shares, constituting 15.2% of the Shares of the Issuer, based upon the 6,285,651 Shares outstanding based on information provided to the Reporting Persons by the Issuer. Daniel Khoshaba has the sole power to vote or direct the vote of 0 Shares; has the shared power to vote or direct the vote of 955,267 Shares; has sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of 0 Shares; and has shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of 955,267 Shares. Daniel Khoshaba specifically disclaims beneficial ownership in the Shares reported herein except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein. (c) The number of shares purchased and sold and price per share for all transactions in the Shares on August 5, 2010 by the Reporting Persons are set forth in Schedule A to Exhibit B. As described in Item 4 above, all the transactions were privately negotiated with the Issuer.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

	Under the Purchase Agreement entered into by the Issuer and KSA Capital on August 5, 2010, KSA Capital has agreed that during the period beginning on August 5, 2010 and ending on the date of the Issuer's 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or any adjournment or postponement thereof (the "2011 Annual Meeting"), none of the Reporting Persons, KSA Capital Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, KSA Capital Fund, Ltd. an exempted company incorporated and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands or any of their Affiliates (as defined in Section 5.3 of the Purchase Agreement) shall acquire, offer or propose to acquire, or agree to acquire, directly or indirectly, by purchase or otherwise, (i) any shares of the Issuer and any other securities of the Issuer entitled to vote in the election of directors, or securities convertible in to, or exercisable or exchangeable for, securities of the Issuer entitled to vote in the election of directors, whether or not subject to the passage of time or other contingencies (collectively, the "Voting Securities"), or (ii) direct or indirect rights or options to acquire (through purchase, exchange, conversion or otherwise) additional Voting Securities. The Purchase Agreement also amends the Letter Agreement (the "Letter Agreement"), dated February 12, 2010, between KSA Capital, Mr. Khoshaba, KSA Capital, LLC, KSA Capital Partners, LP, KSA Capital Fund, Ltd. and their Affiliates (collectively, the "KSA Investors") and the Issuer to provide that the standstill restrictions and voting agreement will continue to apply to the KSA Investors through the date of the Issuer's 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2011 Annual Meeting"), as if Mr. Khoshaba were one of the Issuer's nominees for director at the 2011 Annual Meeting and continued to serve on the Board through the date that is one day after the date of the 2011 Annual Meeting. The standstill provisions provide, among other things, that in connection with the 2011 Annual Meeting, the KSA Investors will not (a) engage i n or in any way participate in a solicitation of proxies or consents with respect to the Issuer, (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 Issuer, 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. The voting agreement provides that the KSA Investors will vote for and publicly support and recommend the board of directors of the issuer's slate of nominees for director at the 2011 Annual Meeting.

Section 5.4 Specific Performance. The Company, on the one hand, and Sellers, KSA Capital, KSA Capital, LLC and Mr. Khoshaba, on the other hand, acknowledge and agree that the other would be irreparably injured by a breach of this Agreement and that money damages are an inadequate remedy for an actual or threatened breach of this Agreement.

The parties hereto further agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the purposes of such invalid or unenforceable provision..

Section 5.8 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, that, this Agreement (and any of the rights, interests or obligations of any party hereunder) may not be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Any purported assignment of a party's rights under this Agreement in violation of the preceding sentence shall be null and void.

Section 5.9 Entire Agreement; Amendments.

This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument duly executed by the parties hereto or their res pective permitted successors or assigns.
