Item 8.01

Other Events.

On July 16, 2010, Boise Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Boise Paper Holdings, L.L.C. and Boise Co-Issuer Company (together, the “8% Note Issuers”), along with certain of its other wholly-owned subsidiaries as guarantors, completed their offer to exchange up to $300 million of their outstanding 8% Senior Notes due 2020 issued on March 19, 2010 (the “Original 8% Notes”) for 8% Senior Notes due 2020 that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “New 8% Notes”). The exchange offers were made in order to satisfy certain obligations of the 8% Note Issuers contained in a Registration Rights Agreement, dated March 19, 2010.

The exchange offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 14, 2010. All $300 million in aggregate principal amount of the Original 8% Notes were exchanged. The New 8% Notes are substantially identical to the Original 8% Notes, except that the New 8% Notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, as a result, the transfer restrictions, registration rights and additional interest provisions applicable to the Original 8% Notes do not apply to the New 8% Notes.
