Form 8-K filings detail material events throughout this process. On August 13, 2025, HanesBrands filed an 8-K describing the Agreement and Plan of Merger with Gildan and the multi-step structure under which Gildan would indirectly acquire all outstanding shares of HanesBrands common stock in exchange for a mix of Gildan common shares and cash.

Trading and registration changes are reflected in a Form 25 filed by the New York Stock Exchange on December 1, 2025, which relates to the removal of HanesBrands common stock from listing and registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. A subsequent Form 15 filed on December 11, 2025, by Hanesbrands LLC certifies the termination of registration under Section 12(g) and the suspension of reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d), noting that Hanesbrands LLC had one holder of record following the transaction.
