HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Quiksilver, Inc. and its wholly-owned European subsidiary, Boardriders
S.A. (“Boardriders”), today announced the final results of their
Exchange Offer to exchange the €200,000,000 of Boardriders’ outstanding
8.875% Senior Notes due 2017 for a combination of new Boardriders 9.500%
Senior Notes due 2020 and cash.

The Exchange Offer expired at midnight CET on March 9, 2016. At
expiration, based on the final count by the exchange agent, Deutsche
Bank, €182,204,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes (or

pursuant to the Exchange Offer. Based on the results of the Exchange
Offer, Boardriders will issue €136,484,000 in aggregate principal amount

“The final results of this Exchange Offer were in line with our
expectations and represent the final step of a successful
restructuring,” said Pierre Agnes, Chief Executive Officer of
Quiksilver. “We are pleased to have completed this final piece of
financing which has positioned Quiksilver on the right path with a
strong balance sheet as we look to the future. Through the restructuring
process and the Exchange Offer we have reduced the Company’s debt
balance from over $800 million to less than $250 million, a reduction of
over $550 million. We have also bolstered the Company’s liquidity
position, extended the maturity of the majority of our debt to 2020, and
exited many onerous contracts that had historically burdened the
business.”
