Our New Retirement Plans

Hanesbrands Inc. Retirement Savings Plan

In addition to the Hanesbrands Inc. Pension and Retirement Plan which provides frozen pension benefits, we are providing a defined contribution retirement plan, the Hanesbrands Inc. Retirement Savings Plan which is intended to qualify under section 401(a) of the Code. All of our employees who were participants in the Sara Lee Corporation 401(k) Plan, or the “Sara Lee 401(k) Plan,” including our executive officers, will generally be eligible to participate in the Hanesbrands Inc. Retirement Savings Plan. Under the Hanesbrands Inc. Retirement Savings Plan, employees will be eligible to contribute a portion of their compensation to the plan on a pre-tax basis and receive a matching employer contribution of up to a possible maximum of 4% of their eligible compensation. In addition, exempt and non-exempt salaried employees will be eligible to receive a non-matching employer contribution of up to an additional 4% of their eligible compensation. Hourly, non-union employees and New-York sample based sample department union employees will be eligible to receive an amount determined by us in our discretion but not more than 2% of their eligible compensation. Finally, employees who are exempt or non-exempt salaried employees and who, on January 1, 2006, had attained age 50 and completed 10 years of service with Sara Lee are eligible to receive a non-matching employer contribution of 10% of their eligible compensation if they are not eligible for the transitional credits provided in the Hanesbrands Inc. Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan and if they are employed by us on December 31, 2006 or if their employment ended prior to that date due to retirement, death or total disability. Sara Lee has transferred, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the employee matters agreement, assets and liabilities representing the account balances of our employees under the Sara Lee 401(k) Plan as of the date of transfer from the trust for the Sara Lee 401(k) Plan to the trust established for the Hanesbrands Inc. Retirement Savings Plan. Such transfer was made in accordance with certain provisions of the Code and regulations issued thereunder.

Hanesbrands Inc. Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan

We plan to provide a nonqualified supplemental retirement plan—the Hanesbrands SERP. The purpose of the Hanesbrands SERP is to provide to a select group of management or highly compensated employees supplemental deferred compensation benefits primarily consisting of (i) benefits that would be earned under the Hanesbrands Inc. Retirement Savings Plan but for certain compensation and benefit limitations imposed on the Hanesbrands Inc. Retirement Savings Plan by the Code, (ii) those supplemental retirement benefits that had been accrued under the Sara Lee Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan as of December 31, 2005 and (iii) transitional defined contribution credits for one to five years and ranging from 4% to 15% of eligible compensation for certain executives based on their combined age and years of service as of January 1, 2006. The transitional credits for our executive officers are as follows: Messrs. Chaden and Flatow (15%), Messrs. Noll and Evans (12%), Ms. McReynolds (8%), Mr. Oliver (4%) and Messrs. Hall and Wyatt (0%). The transfer of the existing liabilities relating to the Sara Lee Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan to the Hanesbrands SERP is expected to be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the employee matters agreement.
