17 October 2016

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

I am pleased to extend to you an invitation to participate in the 2016 Annual General Meeting of Billabong International Limited ("Billabong" or the "Company").

The meeting will commence at 10.00am (Queensland time) on Tuesday, 22 November 2016 at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre, Level 1, Meeting Room 5, 2684-2690 Gold Coast Highway, Broadbeach, Queensland.

In the 2015-16 financial year the team remained focused on the global implementation of our seven-part strategy. We continued to prioritise our four key projects - Omni Channel, Sourcing & Supply Chain, Distribution & Logistics and Concept to Customer. These, when fully implemented, will provide the platforms to underpin the continued growth of our brands.

Despite operational progress and significant reductions in our costs of doing business, the financial results of the group were behind those of the prior year, principally impacted by reduced gross margins and higher tax expense.

This booklet includes the Notice for the 2016 Annual General Meeting and the Explanatory Memorandum. A Proxy Form accompanies this booklet. I encourage you to read this booklet carefully as it contains important information and will assist you in making informed decisions.

This booklet and Billabong's Annual Report are available on the website www.billabongbiz.com. Only shareholders who have elected to receive either an Annual Report or an Annual Review will receive a copy of Billabong's Annual Report by post.

If you are attending the meeting, please bring your Proxy Form with you to assist us in the efficient processing of your registration. Registration will commence at 9.00am. If you are unable to attend, you may appoint a proxy to vote for you at the meeting by completing the Proxy Form that

accompanies this booklet. If you intend to appoint a proxy, please return the completed Proxy Form in accordance with the directions on the form by 10.00am (Queensland time) on Sunday, 20 November 2016.

Your Directors look forward to seeing you at this meeting. Yours sincerely

Ian Pollard Chair
