Hanesbrands reports director share conversion in Gildan merger

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Hanesbrands Inc. reported that a director disposed of common stock in connection with the closing of its merger with Gildan Activewear Inc. Under the merger agreement, each share of Hanesbrands common stock held by the reporting person was converted into the right to receive 0.102 Gildan common shares plus $0.80 in cash, without interest.

The filing also explains that each outstanding Hanesbrands restricted stock unit was converted into a Gildan restricted stock unit. The number of Gildan shares underlying each new award is based on an equity award exchange ratio that uses the 0.102 share component plus a value derived from the $0.80 cash portion and Gildan’s volume-weighted average trading price over a 20-day period.
