Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On March 24, 2005, the stockholders of Quiksilver, Inc. (the “Company”), upon the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors, approved (i) the Company’s Annual Incentive Plan (the “AIP”) and (ii) the amendment of the Company’s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the “SIP”) to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the SIP by 750,000 shares. The AIP, as approved by the Company's stockholders, is substantially the same as the Company's previously existing Annual Incentive Plan, except that the maximum bonus payable to any officer in any fiscal year was increased from $2,400,000 to $3,000,000. Stockholder approval of the AIP was sought in order to enable the Company to continue to qualify payments made to executives pursuant to the AIP as deductible for federal income tax purposes in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Copies of the Company’s AIP and SIP, as amended, are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2.
