Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
On November 17, 2009, Hanesbrands Inc. (“Hanesbrands”) issued a press release announcing that it intends to refinance a portion of its existing debt to increase its financial and operating flexibility. Hanesbrands may elect to use the net proceeds from these financing transactions, which may include a registered debt offering, to repay all or a portion of its outstanding debt under its existing senior secured credit facility and its senior secured second lien credit facility, as well as to pay fees and expenses related to these transactions.
A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall it constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.
