Huntington Beach-based Quiksilver Inc. said Friday it has acquired nearly all of the remaining shares in France’s Skis Rossignol SA.
Quiksilver said it has bought some 6 million shares for about $23 apiece. By next week, Quiksilver said it expects to own 94% of Rossignol’s shares and hold 95% of the company’s voting rights.
On Monday Quiksilver said it plans to reopen bidding for the rest of Rossignol’s shares.
In April, Quiksilver Inc. acquired nearly half of Rossignol’s shares from the company’s controlling Boix-Vives family.
Quiksilver detailed plans to buy Skis Rossignol SA for about $312 million in March after first expressing interest in the company late last year.
Separately, Quiksilver said it expects to wrap up a debt offering Friday that’s expected to raise $400 million for the Rossignol buy and other uses.
