Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
     On September 19, 2008, a French subsidiary of Quiksilver, Inc. (the “Company”), Na Pali S.A.S. (“Na Pali”), entered into a Bank Account Pledge Agreement with J.P. Morgan Europe Limited (“Morgan Europe”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London branch (“JP Morgan”) and Societe Generale, as account bank, pursuant to which Na Pali agreed to pledge €35.6 million of cash collateral in favor of Morgan Europe and JP Morgan. This pledge, as previously described in the Company’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, secures Na Pali’s reimbursement obligations with respect to a bank guarantee issued by JP Morgan in September 2007 in favor of the Boix-Vives family. The JP Morgan bank guarantee secures the payment by Quiksilver of 100% of the exercise price of Quiksilver’s call and the Boix-Vives family’s put options under that certain Shareholders Agreement of Ski Expansion SCA (now Pilot S.A.S.) dated April 12, 2005 by and among the Boix-Vives family and Quiksilver with respect to 2,119 non-voting restricted shares of Pilot S.A.S.
     The foregoing description of the Bank Account Pledge Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Bank Account Pledge Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
