Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

     On December 3, 2009, Hanesbrands Inc. (the “Company”) and certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., as representative of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”) with respect to the offering of the Company’s 8.000% senior notes due 2016 (the “Notes”). The Notes were offered pursuant to a prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. 333-152733). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters agreed to purchase the Notes, subject to certain conditions, including, among other matters, the Company’s entry into its proposed $1.15 billion new senior secured credit facilities (the “New Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). The Company, among other things, agreed not to, without the prior written consent of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., issue or sell certain debt securities for 90 days after the date of the Agreement. The Underwriting Agreement also contains customary indemnification rights and obligations of the Company and the Underwriters.

     The Underwriters and certain of their affiliates have provided from time to time, and may provide in the future, investment and commercial banking and financial advisory services to the Company and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business, for which they have received and may continue to receive customary fees and commissions. In particular, affiliates of some of the Underwriters act as lenders under the Company’s first lien credit agreement dated September 5, 2006 and its second lien credit agreement dated September 5, 2006, and are expected to act as lenders under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., an affiliate of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., will act as administrative agent, collateral agent and lender under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities and certain of the other Underwriters and/or their affiliates will act as agents and/or lenders under the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities. In addition, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. and PNC Capital Markets LLC and/or certain of their affiliates act as agents and purchasers under the Company’s Receivables Purchase Agreement dated November 27, 2007.
