Item 8.01

Other Events.

This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed solely to reflect the retroactive adjustments resulting from the adoption, effective January 1, 2009, of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (“SFAS No. 160”) to the financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 (the “2008 10-K”). For the avoidance of doubt, NewPage Corporation is not filing this Form 8-K to correct any error or omission in financial or other information previously filed in the 2008 10-K. The changes to the financial statements reflect the retroactive adjustments to equity of amounts related to the minority interests in the consolidated balance sheets and the removal from other (income) expense of the amounts of minority interest in the statements of operations.

Except for reflecting the adoption of SFAS No. 160 as described above, the information contained in the 2008 10-K has not been modified or updated and does not reflect any events or developments since December 31, 2008.

Item 9.01
