Director Compensation

Cash and Equity-Based Compensation

We intend to compensate each non-employee director for service on our board of directors as follows:

 

    an annual cash retainer of $70,000, which will be paid in quarterly installments;

 

    an additional annual cash retainer of $10,000 for the chair of the Audit Committee, $5,000 for the chair of the Compensation and Benefits Committee and $5,000 for the chair of the Governance and Nominating Committee;

 

    an additional annual cash retainer of $5,000 for each member of the Audit Committee other than the chair;

 

    an annual grant of $70,000 in restricted stock units, with a one-year vesting schedule; these units will be converted at vesting into deferred stock units payable in stock six months after termination of service on our board of directors; and

 

    reimbursement of customary expenses for attending board, committee and shareholder meetings.

Directors who are also our employees will receive no additional compensation for serving as a director.

Deferred Compensation Plan for Outside Directors

We expect to adopt a deferred compensation plan for our non-employee directors. Under the plan, all non-employee directors will be permitted to defer the receipt of all or a portion (not less than 25 percent) of their annual retainer into a nonqualified, unfunded deferred compensation plan. At the election of the director, amounts deferred under the plan will earn a return equivalent to the return on an investment in an interest-bearing account earning interest based on the Federal Reserve’s published rate for 5 year constant maturity Treasury notes at the beginning of the calendar year, or be invested in a stock equivalent account and earn a return based on our stock price. Amounts deferred, plus any dividend equivalents or interest, will be paid in cash or in shares of our common stock as applicable. Any awards of restricted stock or RSUs to non-employee directors that are automatically deferred pursuant to the terms of the award are deferred under this plan. Any payment of shares of our common stock under this plan will come from the Hanesbrands Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan of 2006.

Director Share Retention Guidelines

We believe that our directors should have a significant equity interest in Hanesbrands. In order to promote such equity ownership and further align the interests of our directors with our stockholders, we plan to adopt share retention and ownership guidelines for directors.
