This excerpt taken from the HBI 8-K filed Sep 5, 2006. DESCRIPTION OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK The following description is a summary of the material terms of our capital stock and reflects our charter and bylaws that will be in effect at the time of the spin off. For a complete description, we refer you to the Maryland General Corporate Law and our charter and bylaws. We will file our charter and bylaws as exhibits to our registration statement on Form 10. General Our charter provides that we may issue up to 500 million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and up to 50 million shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, and permits our board of directors, without stockholder approval, to amend the charter to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that we have authority to issue. Upon completion of the distribution, approximately 95.1 million shares of common stock will be issued and outstanding (the exact number of shares will be determined by the number of Sara Lee shares outstanding on the record date) and no shares of preferred stock will be issued and outstanding. 500,000 shares of Preferred Stock will be designated Junior Participating Preferred Stock, Series A and reserved for issuance upon the exercise of rights under our rights agreement. See Preferred Stock and Rights Agreement. The Maryland General Corporation Law, or MGCL, provides that our stockholders are not obligated to us or our creditors with respect to our stock, except to the extent that the subscription price or other agreed upon consideration has not been paid. |
