Item 3.01   Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
     On October 1, 2009, Quiksilver, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) a written affirmation notifying the NYSE that, due to the appointment of two additional directors to the Company’s board of directors in connection with the previously announced financing provided to the Company by the Rhône Group, only four of the Company’s eight directors have been identified as independent. Accordingly, the Company’s board of directors does not satisfy Section 303A.01 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, which requires that the board of directors of a listed company be comprised of a majority of independent directors, each of whom satisfies the independence requirements set forth in Section 303A.02.
     In order to cure the deficiency described in the previous paragraph, the Company intends to appoint a new independent director to the Board. The Company is in the process of evaluating potential candidates and expects to appoint a new independent director within the next 30 to 60 days.
