AUSTIN, Texas--(Business Wire)--
AIC Ventures announced today that it has completed two sale
leaseback transactions with FlexSol Packaging Corporation. The company
is a leading designer and manufacturer of flexible packaging and
value-added plastic films for use in a wide range of applications
within the food and beverage, medical and industrial markets. The
transactions included assets in Nashville, Tennessee and Statesville,
NC, with facilities encompassing 182,600 square feet of manufacturing
and office space. AIC Ventures' real estate fund, NL Ventures VI,
through an affiliate, acquired the properties and simultaneously
entered into long term absolute net leases with FlexSol.

of FlexSol Packaging. "We closed two separate, complex and
time-sensitive transactions within 30 days. They have an extremely
professional and efficient team which completes every phase of the
closing process with absolutely no surprises. AIC met our value
expectations with regard to the real estate and did everything they
committed to, and for those reasons, I would highly recommend them to
anyone looking for a unique and feasible financing option."

noted that "FlexSol is a strong company which brings additional
diversity to our portfolio. This opportunity allowed us to demonstrate

complete discretion over our acquisition capital so we can confidently
commit to closing deals without the need for appraisals or financing
contingencies. We are pleased to have met the tenant company's need
for capital."
