This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed on August 10, 2009 (the “Original Schedule 13D” and, together with this Amendment No. 1, the “Schedule 13D”), by (i) Romolo Holdings C.V., a Dutch commanditaire vennootschap; Triton SPV L.P., a Delaware limited partnership; Triton Onshore SPV L.P., a Delaware limited partnership; Triton Offshore SPV L.P., a Delaware limited partnership; and Triton Coinvestment SPV L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (together, the “Lenders”), (ii) Rea Silvia GP C.V., a Dutch commanditaire vennootschap, (iii) Triton GP SPV LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (iv) Numitor Governance S.a r.l., a Luxembourg sociéte à responsabilité limitée, (v) Rhône Capital III L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, (vi) Rhône Holdings III L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, (vii) Rhône Capital L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, and (vii) Rhône Group L.L.C. (“Rhône Group”), a Delaware limited liability company (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have such defined meanings as previously used in the Original Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph after the third paragraph thereof:

“The response to Item 4 is hereby incorporated by reference. As set forth in Item 4, pursuant to the Exchange Letter Agreement (as defined in Item 4) and subject to the execution of definitive documentation and the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, Rhône Group and the Lenders have agreed to exchange a portion of the principal amount outstanding under the Rhône Term Facilities (as defined in Item 4) for shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Quiksilver, Inc. (the “Company”).”

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following paragraphs:

“On June 14, 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries Quiksilver Americas, Inc. (“Quiksilver Americas”) and Mountain & Wave S.À R.L. (“Quiksilver Europe” and, together with Quiksilver Americas, the “Borrowers”), entered into a binding letter agreement (the “Exchange Letter Agreement”) with Rhône Group and the Lenders. Rhône Group is the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement, dated July 31, 2009, among the Company, Quiksilver Americas, Rhône Group, and the Lenders (the “U.S. Term Facility”), and the Credit Agreement, dated July 31, 2009, among the Company, Quiksilver Europe, Rhône Group and the Lenders (the “European Term Facility” and, together with the U.S. Term Facility, the “Rhône Term Facilities”).

Pursuant to the Exchange Letter Agreement, the Company, the Borrowers, Rhône Group and the Lenders have agreed to exchange $75 million of the outstanding principal balance under the Rhône Term Facilities (the “First Exchange”) for an aggregate of 16,666,667 shares of the Common Stock, at a price for the purposes of the exchange of $4.50 per share. In addition, under the Exchange Letter Agreement, the Borrowers have an option, exercisable for a period of 60 days from the date of the definitive agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) regarding the Exchanges (as defined below), to require the Lenders to exchange all or a portion of the remaining balance under the Rhône Term Facilities for additional Common Stock at the same price per share (the “Standby Exchange”, and, together with the First Exchange, the “Exchanges”), provided that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Standby Exchange will not equal or exceed the number of shares of Common Stock that would result in a change of control under the Company’s debt agreements. As set forth in the press release issued by the Company on June 14, 2010 announcing the Company’s entry into the Exchange Letter Agreement, and assuming the accuracy of the statements made therein, the abovementioned limitations on the Standby Exchange would allow the Company to exchange approximately up to an additional $65 million of the remaining principal amount of the Rhône Term Facilities. In the event the Borrowers elect to exchange $65 million of the outstanding principal amount of the Rhône Term Facilities pursuant to the Standby Exchange, then this would result in the issuance by the Company to the Lenders of an additional 14,444,444 additional shares of Common Stock in the aggregate. Upon the closing of each of the First Exchange and the Standby Exchange, the Company will pay to Rhône Group, as agent of the Lenders, an exchange fee equal to 4.75% of the principal amount subject to such Exchange.

 

14


In addition, the Exchange Letter Agreement provides that the Company, Rhône Group and the Lenders will enter into a stockholders agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”) at the closing of the First Exchange, pursuant to which, among other things, Rhône Group and its affiliates would be subject to certain transfer and standstill restrictions, including a restriction on their ability to effect or seek to effect, or announce any intention to effect, any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are used in the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) or written consents with respect to any voting securities of the Company, in each case, in order to elect directors to the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) (other than any solicitation of proxies to elect any director that Rhône Group, the Lenders or their affiliates are entitled to designate, but who have not been nominated by the Board and/or elected by the stockholders of the Company).

Upon execution of the Stockholders Agreement, Rhône Group and the Lenders will be entitled to certain customary information rights, preemptive rights and registration rights similar to those set forth in the Warrant and Registration Rights Agreement, dated July 31, 2009, by and among the Company, Rhône Capital III L.P. and the Lenders (the “Warrant Agreement”), provided that Rhône Group and the Lenders will receive at least two and up to four “Demand Registrations” (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) in addition to those already provided for in the Warrant Agreement.

Under the Stockholders Agreement, the Lenders will be entitled to designate two directors to the Board; provided, however, that if the Lenders sell one-third or more of the Common Stock they received in the Exchanges to any persons other than affiliates, then they will only be entitled to designate one director pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, and if the Lenders sell two-thirds or more of the Common Stock they received in the Exchanges to any persons other than affiliates, then their right to designate directors pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement shall terminate; provided further, however, that for so long as any directors designated pursuant to the existing Warrant Agreement serve on the Board, then such directors shall be counted as directors designated by the Lenders for purposes of the Stockholders Agreement.

The Exchanges are subject to customary closing conditions, including (i) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and (ii) the approval of the Company’s stockholders required by Section 312.03 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual. If these conditions are not satisfied, then the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Letter Agreement will not occur. In the event the Exchanges do not occur as a result of (i) the failure to obtain any required stockholder approval, (ii) the Board’s having changed its recommendation to the stockholders with respect to the Exchanges, or (iii) a material breach by the Company of its obligations under the Exchange Agreement, Rhône Group, as agent for the Lenders, would be entitled to receive a termination fee of $10 million, provided, however, that in the case of (i), such fee would only be payable if the Company prepays any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Rhône Term Facilities within six months from the date of such failure to obtain stockholder approval.

The foregoing summary of the Exchange Letter Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the agreement attached as an Exhibit in Item 7 hereto, and such agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.”

 

Item 5. Interest in securities of the issuer

Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by:

 

  i. adding the following paragraph after the second paragraph thereof:

“On March 26, 2010, pursuant to the Company’s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, each Rhône Director was granted both an option to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock, and restricted stock award of 15,000 shares of Common Stock. Each Rhône Director’s respective stock award vests in three equal annual installments. Each Rhône Director’s respective stock option is immediately exercisable with an exercise price of $4.58. Each Rhône Director is a managing director of Rhône Group and has an understanding with Rhône Group and Triton GP SPV LLC pursuant to which he holds his respective reported securities for the benefit of the Lenders.”, and

 

15


  ii. deleting the last paragraph and replacing it in its entirety as follows:

“Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, as amended by Amendment No. 1, no transactions in the Shares were effected by the Reporting Persons during the past sixty days.”

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings, or Relationships with Respect to the Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following paragraph:

“(d) On June 14, 2010, Rhône Group, the Lenders, the Borrowers and the Company entered into the Exchange Letter Agreement, which is summarized in Item 4 above, is filed as Exhibit E hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.”

 

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits

Item 7 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following exhibit at the end thereof:

 

“Exhibit E    Exchange Letter Agreement, dated June 14, 2010, by and among Quiksilver, Inc., Quiksilver Americas, Inc., Mountain & Wave S.À R.L., Rhône Group LLC, Romolo Holdings C.V., Triton SPV L.P., Triton Onshore SPV L.P., Triton Offshore SPV L.P., and Triton Coinvestment SPV L.P. (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 10.1 of Quiksilver, Inc.’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 15, 2010).”
