Quiksilver to go private ...?

Article in today's AFR about Quiksilver (that also mentions Billabong)

Briefly it talks about ...
- Quiksilver following bankruptcy may emerge under almost full control of Oaktree after a debt / equity swap and go private.

- Mentions again the initial speculation (and continuing rumour?) of a possible merger at some date between Quiksilver and Billabong (Oaktree also own a chunk of Billabong shares and debt).

- Discusses briefly Billabongs recent share price decline after the share consolidation and AGM trading update
