Item 5.02		Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

     On July 27, 2009, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Hanesbrands Inc. (“Hanesbrands”) amended the terms of all outstanding stock options granted under the Hanesbrands Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan of 2006 that had an original term of five or seven years and exercise prices ranging from $22.37 to $29.35 (the “Subject Options”). As a result of the amendments, all of the Subject Options, including any Subject Options held by Hanesbrands’ executive officers or members of the Board of Directors, were extended to the tenth anniversary of the original grant date. The exercise price of each of the Subject Options was greater than the fair market value of Hanesbrands’ common stock as of the date of the amendment. The Committee did not adjust the exercise price, vesting schedule or any other features of the Subject Options. Each of the Subject Options remained “underwater” as of the date of the amendment.
