WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (April 9, 2020) – Hanesbrands Inc. (NYSE: HBI) today announced that it will host its 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders via the Internet in virtual format only due to the public health and safety concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As previously announced, the annual meeting will be held at 8 a.m. EDT Tuesday, April 28, 2020. The meeting will be held solely by means of remote communication in a virtual meeting format. Stockholders will not be able to attend the annual meeting in person.
Stockholders as of the close of business on Feb. 18, 2020, will be able to access the annual meeting webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HBI2020. To gain access to the meeting, stockholders will have to use the 16-digit control number provided on their proxy card, voting instruction form or notice of internet availability of proxy materials previously received. During the virtual meeting, stockholders will be able to listen to the proceedings of the meeting, ask questions, and vote their shares if they have not submitted proxies in advance.
