Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 3 / 4, 2005, Plastipak Luxembourg, S.a.r.l. (“Plastipak Luxembourg”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Plastipak Packaging, Inc. (“Plastipak Packaging”) in formation, entered into a definitive agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the shareholders of LuxPET A.G./S.A. (“LuxPET”) for the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of LuxPET. The closing of the acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions. Plastipak Packaging joined the agreement solely for the purpose of guaranteeing the payment of the purchase price at closing.

The purchase price to be paid at closing will be calculated upon an EBITDA-based formula and is projected to be approximately 46,500,000 Euros, most of which will be paid in cash at closing, plus the assumption of approximately 6.1 Million Euros of debt.

The two existing management shareholders of LuxPET collectively own approximately 16% of LuxPET’s issued and outstanding capital stock. At the closing, the management shareholders will receive 20% percent of their share of the purchase price in cash, and the remaining 80% will be paid via the delivery of Plastipak Luxembourg’s five year subordinated promissory notes. Plastipak Packaging will guarantee these notes and the obligations under the notes, and the guaranty will be subordinated to senior debt. In addition, the management shareholders will be eligible to receive additional consideration for their shares pursuant to an Earn Out Agreement (the “Earn Out Agreement”). The Earn Out Agreement provides that the management shareholders will be entitled to receive additional purchase price in an aggregate amount of up to 10% percent of LuxPET’s actual EBITDA for each of the three years following closing. The additional purchase price would be paid only if annual minimum target EBITDA is achieved.

The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is anticipated by October 31, 2005, although if the closing conditions are not satisfied by such date, the party responsible for such unsatisfied closing conditions may postpone the closing until November 18, 2005 upon the payment of a non-refundable 500,000 Euro extension fee.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

William J. Schlageter, a director, passed away on October 4, 2005.
