Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
     On January 31, 2011, Hanesbrands Inc. (the “Company”), HBI Receivables LLC (“Receivables LLC”), a wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of the Company, HSBC Bank PLC and PNC Bank, N.A., as committed purchasers, Bryant Park Funding LLC and Market Street Funding LLC, as conduit purchasers, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. (“HSBC”) and PNC Bank, N.A., as managing agents (the “Managing Agents”), and HSBC, as assignee of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent, entered into Amendment No. 7 (the “Amendment”) to the Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of November 27, 2007 (the “Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility”). The Amendment provides for two recently-acquired subsidiaries of the Company, in addition to the Company, to sell, on a revolving basis, certain domestic trade receivables to HBI Receivables. Prior to the execution of the Amendment, the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility contained the same leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio provisions as those contained in the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated December 10, 2009 (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”). Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company is required to maintain the leverage ratio, interest coverage ratio and any other financial covenants contained from time to time in the Senior Secured Credit Facility, provided that any changes to such covenants after the date of the Amendment will only be applicable for purposes of the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility if approved by the Managing Agents or their affiliates. The Amendment also provides for certain other amendments to the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility, including changing the termination date for the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility from February 1, 2011 to March 31, 2011. In connection with the Amendment, certain fees were due to the managing agents and certain fees payable to the committed purchasers and the conduit purchasers were decreased.
     From time to time, the financial institutions party to the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility or their affiliates have performed, and may in the future perform, various commercial banking, investment banking and other financial advisory services for the Company and its affiliates for which they have received, and will receive, customary fees and expenses. In particular, HSBC acted as co-syndication agent and as a joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, and the Managing Agents and/or their respective affiliates may act as lenders or in other capacities under the Senior Secured Credit Facility or under other financing arrangements to which the Company or its affiliates are party.
Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
     On February 2, 2011, the Company held a conference call to discuss financial results for its quarter and fiscal year ended January 1, 2011 and guidance for its 2011 fiscal year. A copy of the conference call transcript is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
     Statements in the transcript that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including those regarding the Company’s long-term goals and trends associated with the Company’s business.
