In a story we posted last month regarding Billabong’s offer deadline we suggested that the deadline would pass and Billabong would be forced to consider even lower offers. That’s exactly what has happened, according to a story in the Wall Street Journal.
People familiar with the talks said both consortia [VF Corp and Naude] had cut their respective proposals below A$1.10 a share, declining to be more specific. Shares in Billabong, which is being advised by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. GS +0.02% last traded at A$0.73, having touched a record low of A$0.63 last month.
In our opinion, the longer Billabong stalls, the worse things are going to be for the beleaguered surf fashion giant.

It has to be one of the downsides of having a popular brand, but two men wanted in sexual assault cases (one in LA, the other in Hawaii) were both described as “wearing a black RVCA baseball cap.” In LA:
Jason Maynard Kies, 37, is being held in lieu of $4 million bail in the Van Nuys jail after detectives arrested him while he allegedly stalked his next potential victim. . . He was described as wearing sunglasses, a black RVCA baseball cap, black shoes, gray shorts and a gray shirt during the attacks.
Meanwhile in Hawaii:
Authorities say that on Jan. 28 at around 3:25 p.m., an unidentified man touched a female minor while engaging in an indecent act on a Hele-On bus in Waimea. . .The suspect was reportedly wearing a RVCA hat and white Beats headphones with a red cord at the time.
So, the next time you see someone in a black RVCA hat, you know, keep an eye on the guy. Especially if you’re on the Big Island, because they’re still looking for that guy.
