These excerpts taken from the HBI 10-K filed Feb 19, 2008.
We are in the process of relocating a significant portion of our manufacturing operations and this process involves significant costs and the risk of operational interruption.
 
In furtherance of our efforts to execute our consolidation and globalization strategy, we are relocating portions of our manufacturing operations to lower-cost locations such as Central America, the Caribbean Basin and Asia. The process of relocating significant portions of our manufacturing and production operations has resulted in and will continue to result in significant costs and savings. As further plans are developed and approved by management and in some cases our board of directors, we expect to recognize additional restructuring costs to eliminate duplicative functions within the organization and transition a significant portion of our manufacturing capacity to lower-cost locations. As a result of these efforts, we expect to incur approximately $250 million in restructuring and related charges over the three year period following the spin off from Sara Lee, approximately half of which is expected to be noncash. This process also may result in operational interruptions, which may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
