The total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), that may be issued pursuant to the 2020 Plan includes, in addition to 11,000,000 new shares of Common Stock (included by the Company on a new Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed on May 8, 2020), (i) the number of shares that remained available for issuance under the Hanesbrands Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated) (the “Prior Plan”) as of the Effective Date and (ii) any shares subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plan that, on or after the Effective Date, are forfeited, cancelled, expired, settled in cash or, except in certain circumstances set forth in the 2020 Plan, otherwise terminated without the issuance of shares of Common Stock (the shares described in (i) and (ii), the “Prior Plan Shares”). Outstanding awards granted under the Prior Plan will continue to be governed by the terms of the Prior Plan, but no new awards will be granted under the Prior Plan.

Immediately prior to the Effective Date, 6,311,068 shares of Common Stock remained available for issuance under the Prior Plan, and up to 4,214,494 shares of Common stock were subject to outstanding awards.

Item 6.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Company is a Maryland corporation. Section 2-405.2 of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”) permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision expanding or limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages, except for liability resulting from (1) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (2) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a judgment or other final adjudication and that is material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding. The Company’s charter contains a provision that eliminates directors’ and officers’ liability to the maximum extent permitted by the MGCL.

Section 2-418(d) of the MGCL requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which the Company’s charter does not) to indemnify a director of the corporation who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which such director was made a party by reason of the director’s service in that capacity. Section 2-418(b) permits a corporation to indemnify its present or former directors against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the director in connection with any proceeding to which the director is made a party by reason of the director’s service as a director, unless it is established that (1) the act or omission of the director was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (2) the director actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. If, however, the proceeding was one by or in the right of the corporation and the director was adjudged liable to the corporation, the corporation may not indemnify the director, unless ordered by a court and then only for expenses. The MGCL also permits a Maryland corporation to pay a director’s reasonable expenses in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding to which the director is a party upon receipt by the corporation of (1) a written affirmation by the director of the director’s good faith belief that the director has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification and (2) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the director to repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that the director did not meet the necessary standard of conduct. Section 2-418 of the MGCL defines a director as any person who is or was a director of a corporation and any person who, while a director of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, limited liability company or other enterprise or employee benefit plan. Section 2-418(j)(2) of the MGCL also permits a Maryland corporation to indemnify and advance expenses to its officers, employees and agents to the same extent that it may indemnify and advance expenses to its directors.

The Company’s charter authorizes it, and the Company’s bylaws obligate it, to the maximum extent permitted by the MGCL, to indemnify any of the Company’s present or former directors or officers or those of the Company’s subsidiaries who (1) is made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of such person’s service in that capacity or (2) while a director or officer and at the Company’s request, serves or served another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise as a director, officer, partner or trustee and who is made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of such person’s service in that capacity and to pay or reimburse that person’s reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding. This indemnity could apply to liabilities under the Securities Act in certain circumstances.

The Company’s bylaws also permit the Company, with the approval of its board of directors, to indemnify and advance expenses to (1) a person who served a predecessor in any of the capacities described above or (2) any of the Company’s employees or agents, or any employee or agent of a predecessor.

The Company also maintains indemnity insurance as permitted by Section 2-418 of the MGCL, pursuant to which its officers and directors are indemnified or insured against liability or loss under certain circumstances, which may include liability or related losses under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

Item 9.

Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of such annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by such registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
