Re: Application for Withdrawal of Registration Statement on Form S-3
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Hanesbrands Export Canada LLC and each of the co-registrants listed on Exhibit A (together, the “Registrants”) respectfully request withdrawal, effective immediately, of the Registration Statement on Form S-3 having the file numbers listed on Exhibit A, together with all exhibits thereto (the “Registration Statement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 8, 2016.
The Registrants are requesting withdrawal of the Registration Statement because it was filed using an inaccurate submission header, which (1) incorrectly identified the filing type as “S-3ASR” rather than “POSASR” and (2) omitted Hanesbrands Inc. (“HBI”) as a registrant and instead incorrectly listed Hanesbrands Export Canada LLC as the main registrant. HBI and the Registrants intend to make a corrected filing promptly following the submission of this request for withdrawal.
The Registrants confirm that no securities have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please contact Elizabeth Southern at (336) 519-6661 or by email at Beth.Southern@hanes.com.
