The Australian operations of global surfwear group Quiksilver will not be affected by a move to place its US division into Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. US-based Oaktree Capital will refinance the US division and will become Quiksilver’s largest shareholder. Oaktree also holds an 18.7 per cent stake in Australian-listed Billabong International, but Quiksilver president Greg Healy has ruled out a merger between the two companies.
