Hanesbrands (HBI) details director share and RSU conversion in Gildan deal

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.

Explanation of Responses:

1. Disposed of pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 13, 2025 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Issuer, Gildan Activewear Inc. ("Gildan"), Galaxy Merger Sub 2, Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Gildan ("Second Gildan Merger Sub"), Galaxy Merger Sub 1, Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Second Gildan Merger Sub ("First Gildan Merger Sub"), Helios Holdco, Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer ("Hanesbrands Holdco"), and Helios Merger Sub, Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Hanesbrands Holdco. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of the Issuer's common stock ("Hanesbrands Common Stock") reported on this Form 4 was ultimately converted into the right to receive (a) 0.102 common shares of Gildan ("Gildan Common Shares") and (b) $0.80 in cash, without interest.

2. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding restricted stock unit of the Issuer (each, a "Hanesbrands RSU"), whether vested or unvested, was ultimately converted into a Gildan restricted stock unit (each, a "Gildan RSU"). The number of Gildan Common Shares subject to each such Gildan RSU was determined by multiplying the number of shares of Hanesbrands Common Stock subject to such Hanesbrands RSU immediately prior to the First Gildan Merger Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) by the Equity Award Exchange Ratio, rounding down to the nearest whole number of Gildan Common Shares.

3. (Continued from Footnote 2) The "Equity Award Exchange Ratio" means the sum of (a) 0.102 and (b) the quotient, rounded to two decimal places, obtained by dividing (i) $0.80 by (ii) the average of the volume weighted averages of the trading prices of Gildan Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange on each of the 20 consecutive trading days ending on (and including) the trading day that is two trading days prior to the date on which the closing of the transactions pursuant to the Merger Agreement occurs.
