Item 1.01.   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On July 31, 2008, Quiksilver, Inc. (“Quiksilver”) and two of its foreign subsidiaries, Skis Rossignol Finance Luxembourg S.A. (the “Borrower”) and Skis Rossignol S.A. (the “Original Guarantor”), and Societe Generale Bank & Trust (the “Lender”) entered into Supplementary Agreement No. 1 (the “Amendment”) amending the Subscription Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated July 11, 2005 among the Borrower, the Original Guarantor and the Lender. Under the Agreement, the Borrower issued bonds to the Lender in the principal amount of 50,000,000 euros (the “Principal Amount”) at an interest rate of 3.231% per annum, maturing on July 13, 2010. The obligations of the Borrower under the Agreement were guaranteed by the Original Guarantor.
     In connection with Quiksilver’s restructuring of certain of its foreign subsidiaries, the Original Guarantor transferred its ownership in the Borrower to another foreign subsidiary of Quiksilver. Pursuant to the Amendment, Quiksilver became the guarantor of the Borrower’s obligations under the Agreement in replacement of the Original Guarantor, and the financial covenants required of the Original Guarantor under the Agreement were not required of Quiksilver. Since Quiksilver had expected the Original Guarantor to cease to be in compliance with these financial covenants during the next year, it classified the Principal Amount as short-term indebtedness on its consolidated balance sheet included in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 30, 2008. As a result of the elimination of these financial covenants, Quiksilver expects to reclassify the Principal Amount as long-term indebtedness. In addition, as a result of the change in ownership of the Borrower, the Principal Amount, which was classified as “liabilities related to assets held for sale” in Quiksilver’s consolidated balance sheet contained in the April 30, 2008 Form 10-Q, is now expected to be classified as long-term debt, net of current portion.
