•	Sales Growth in Each Business Segment. In 2014, our net sales growth was at least high single digits in each business segment. Our Innovate-to-Elevate product platforms continue to perform well, including Hanes ComfortBlend underwear, Hanes X-Temp and Champion Vapor fabrics, and ComfortFlex Fit bras.

•

Supply Chain Performance, Acquisitions and Innovation Drove Adjusted Operating Profit and Margin Growth. Our adjusted operating profit margin for 2014 increased 140 basis points to 14.3 percent of sales (10.6% on a GAAP basis). Strong performance from our global supply chain, including continued efficiency initiatives and internalization of production into our self-owned facilities, contributed significantly to our operating profit and margin performance.

•

Strong Balance Sheet and Cash from Operations. We generated $508 million in net cash from operating activities in 2014. This strong cash flow allowed us to pay $120 million in cash dividends to our stockholders in 2014 and to raise our quarterly cash dividend by 33% ($0.40 per share on a pre-split basis, up from $0.30 per share) in January 2015. Our strong balance sheet also allowed us to make our second sizeable acquisition in two years.

Successful Acquisitions and Integrations. In 2014, we successfully completed the integration of Maidenform Brands, Inc. (“Maidenform”), which we acquired in fall 2013. The first Maidenform products developed wholly within the Hanesbrands product development process are scheduled to debut in 2015. In addition, in August 2014 we acquired DBA Lux Holding S.A. (“DBApparel”), a leading marketer of intimate apparel and underwear in Europe.

•	To motivate our executive officers and align their interests with those of our stockholders, we provide annual incentives designed to reward our executive officers for the attainment of short-term goals and long-term incentives designed to reward them for increasing stockholder value over time.

•	Performance-based compensation generally represents approximately half of our named executive officers’ total target direct compensation.

•

Our compensation program is designed to reward exceptional performance for sustained periods of time. By combining a three-year vesting period for equity awards with a mandatory one-year holding period following vesting (and policies prohibiting hedging or pledging of such shares), a substantial portion of the value of our executives’ compensation package is tied to changes in our stock price, and therefore at-risk, for a significant period of time. The Compensation Committee believes this design provides an effective way to link executive compensation to long-term stockholder returns.

Withheld votes and broker non-votes, if any, are not treated as votes cast, and therefore will have no effect on the proposal to elect directors.

(1)	Amounts shown include deferrals to the Hanesbrands Inc. Non-Employee Director Deferred Compensation Plan, or the “Director Deferred Compensation Plan.”

(2)

The dollar values shown reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of awards during 2014, computed in accordance with Topic 718 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The assumptions we used in valuing these awards are described in Note 5, “Stock-Based Compensation,” to our consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2015. Information about outstanding equity awards in the footnotes below reflects the four-for-one stock split effected on March 3, 2015.

(3)

Amounts shown represent the grant date fair value of the annual grant of restricted stock units which was made on December 9, 2014 to each non-employee director serving on that date in consideration of his or her service on the Board of Directors in 2015. Equity awards are approved as a dollar amount, which on the grant date is converted into a specific whole number of restricted stock units. These restricted stock units vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant date and are payable immediately upon vesting in shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. The number of restricted stock units held by each then-current non-employee director as of January 3, 2015 was 4,564 (on a post-split adjusted basis). Mr. Chaden and Mr. Moison held no restricted stock units as of January 3, 2015.

(4)	As of January 3, 2015:

•	Mr. Chaden held stock options to purchase 42,760 shares of common stock (on a post-split adjusted basis); and

•	Ms. Ziegler held stock options to purchase 22,572 shares of common stock (on a post-split adjusted basis).

First, the SERP provides for employer contributions to employees whose compensation exceeds a threshold set by the Internal Revenue Code. Although, as described above, the 401(k) Plan provides for employer contributions to our named executive officers at the same percentage of their eligible compensation as provided for all employees who participate in the 401(k) Plan, compensation and benefit limitations imposed on the 401(k) Plan by the Internal Revenue Code generally prevent us from making the entire amount of the employer contributions contemplated by the 401(k) Plan with respect to any employee whose compensation exceeds a threshold set by Internal Revenue Code provisions, which threshold was $260,000 for 2014. The SERP provides to those employees whose compensation exceeds this threshold, including our named executive officers, benefits that would be earned under the 401(k) Plan but for these limitations.

•

Second, the SERP provides benefits consisting of transitional defined contribution credits for one to five years and ranging from 4% to 15% of eligible compensation to a broad group of executives in connection with our transition from providing both a defined benefit plan (as discussed above, the Pension Plan is frozen) and a defined contribution plan to providing only defined contribution plans, to mitigate the negative impact of that transition. The determination of the credits provided to an executive was based on the extent to which such executive was negatively impacted by the transition, including the executive’s age and years of service as an executive as of January 1, 2006. All transitional defined contribution credits ceased in 2010.

Present values for the Pension Plan are computed as of January 3, 2015, using a discount rate of 4.2% and healthy mortality table (the RP-2014 Employee and Healthy Annuitant Table Projected Generationally with Scale MP). For the pension benefit, we assume 40% of males elect a single life annuity and 60% select a 50% joint and survivor annuity, and that 65% of females elect a single life annuity and 35% select a 50% joint and survivor annuity. For the retirement benefit, we assume that 70% of males elect a six-year certain only annuity, 12% select a single life annuity and 18% select a 50% joint and survivor annuity, and that 70% of females elect a six-year certain only annuity, 19.5% select a single life annuity and 10.5% select a 50% joint and survivor annuity. When calculating the six-year certain only annuity, a 3% interest rate and the mortality prescribed under Revenue Ruling 2001-62 is assumed for converting the single life annuity benefit to an actuarial equivalent six-year certain only annuity. If a participant has both a pension benefit and a retirement benefit, the payment form assumption is applied to each benefit amount separately, in all cases assuming the participant commences each portion of the benefit at the earliest unreduced age. Benefits under the Defined Benefit Component of the SERP are payable as a lump sum, which lump sum has been computed using the SERP’s interest rate of 3.75% (120% of the November 30-year Treasury rate for each year, rounded to the nearest 1/4%) and the mortality prescribed under Revenue Ruling 2001-62. Present values as of January 3, 2015 of the SERP lump sum are determined using a discount rate of 3.8%. For both the Pension Plan and the SERP, we also used the following assumptions: (i) the portion of the benefit that is payable as an unreduced benefit at age 62, the earliest unreduced commencement age under the Pension Plan for the pension benefit and the SERP, was valued at age 62 assuming the officer continues to work until that age in order to become eligible for unreduced benefits, (ii) the portion of the benefit that is payable as an unreduced benefit at age 65, the earliest unreduced commencement age under the Pension Plan for the retirement benefit, was valued at age 65 assuming the officer survives until that age in order to become eligible to receive the retirement benefit unreduced and (iii) the values of the benefits have been discounted assuming the officer continues to live until the assumed benefit commencement age (no mortality discount has been applied). All of the foregoing assumptions, except for the assumption that the officer lives and works until retirement, which we have used in light of SEC rules, are the same as those we use for financial reporting purposes under generally accepted accounting principles.

(2)	Mr. Moss and Ms. Johnson do not have any pension benefits because they were not eligible to accrue benefits prior to December 31, 2005.

(1)	Represents shares of common stock that vested during 2014 and were deferred into the HBI Stock Fund under the plan.

(2)	No portion of these earnings were included in the Summary of Compensation table because the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan does not provide for “above-market” or preferential earnings as defined in applicable SEC rules.

(1)	A named executive officer who is terminated by us for cause, or who voluntarily resigns (other than at our request) or retires, will receive no severance benefit.

(2)

If the employment of a named executive officer is terminated by us for any reason other than for cause, or if such an officer terminates his or her employment at our request, we will pay that officer benefits for a period of 12 to 24 months depending on his or her position and combined continuous length of service with us and with our former parent company. The monthly severance benefit that we would pay to each such officer is based on the officer’s base salary (and, in limited cases, AIP amounts), divided by 12. To receive these payments, the named executive officer must sign an agreement that prohibits, among other things, the officer from working for our competitors, soliciting business from our customers, attempting to hire our employees and disclosing our confidential information. The named executive officer also must agree to release any claims against us. Payments terminate if the terminated named executive officer becomes employed by one of our competitors. The terminated named executive officer also would receive a pro-rated payment

Includes both involuntary Company-initiated terminations of employment and terminations by the named executive officer due to “good reason” as defined in the officer’s Severance Agreement. No severance payments would be made upon a change in control if the named executive officer continues to be employed by us. The named executive officer receives a lump sum payment equal to two times (or three times in the case of Mr. Noll) his or her cash compensation, consisting of base salary, the greater of his or her current target or their average actual AIP amounts over the prior three years and the matching contribution to the defined contribution plan in which the named executive officer is participating (the amount of the contribution to the defined contribution plan is reflected in “Benefits and perquisites”). To receive these payments, the named executive officer must sign an agreement that prohibits, among other things, the officer from working for our competitors, soliciting business from our customers, attempting to hire our employees and disclosing our confidential information. The named executive officer also must agree to release any claims against us. Payments terminate if the terminated named executive officer becomes employed by one of our competitors.

(4)

Upon a change in control, as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the treatment of outstanding awards upon the occurrence of a change in control will be determined by the Compensation Committee at the time such awards are granted and set forth in the applicable award agreement. To date, all outstanding stock awards granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, including those to our named executive officers, fully vest upon a change in control regardless of whether a termination of employment occurs. RSUs and PSAs are valued based upon the number of unvested units multiplied by the closing price of our common stock on January 2, 2015.

Reflects executive life insurance continuation ($31,278 for Mr. Noll, $25,563 for Mr. Moss, $18,588 for Mr. Evans, $12,407 for Ms. Johnson and $8,413 for Mr. Upchurch) and outplacement services ($7,650 for each of the officers). The terminated named executive officer’s eligibility to participate in our medical and dental plans would continue for the same number of months for which he or she is receiving severance payments. However, these continued welfare benefits are available to all salaried employees and do not discriminate in scope, terms or operation in favor of our named executive officers compared to the involuntary termination benefits offered to all salaried employees. The terminated named executive officer’s participation in all other benefit plans would cease as of the date of termination of employment.

(6)

Reflects health and welfare benefits continuation ($185,267 for Mr. Noll, $96,004 for Mr. Moss, $75,071 for Mr. Evans, $43,552 for Ms. Johnson and $34,271 for Mr. Upchurch) for three years, with respect to Mr. Noll, and two years, with respect to Mr. Moss, Mr. Evans, Ms. Johnson and Mr. Upchurch, of scheduled company matching contributions to our defined contribution plans calculated based on current base salary and target AIP amounts ($491,490 for Mr. Noll, $126,730 for Mr. Moss, $163,253 for Mr. Evans, $102,274 for Ms. Johnson and $90,691 for Mr. Upchurch) and outplacement services ($7,650 for each of the named executive officers). In computing the value of continued participation in our medical, dental and executive insurance plans, we have assumed that the current cost to us of providing these plans will increase annually at a rate of 6%.

(7)

In the event that any payments made in connection with a change in control would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, we will make tax equalization payments for all named executive officers except Mr. Moss with respect to the officer’s compensation for all federal, state and local income and excise taxes, and any penalties and interest, but only if the total payments made in connection with a change in control exceed 330% of such officer’s “base amount” (as determined under Section 280G(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and which consists of the average total taxable compensation we paid to the named executive officer for the five calendar years ending prior to the change in control). Otherwise, the payments made to such officer in connection with a change in control that are classified as parachute payments will be reduced so that the value of the total payments to such officer is one dollar ($1) less than the maximum amount such officer may receive without becoming subject to the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. Beginning in 2011, we eliminated excise tax gross-ups with respect to severance or change in control agreements for new executive officers, and as a result no such provision is contained in the Severance Agreement for Mr. Moss.

The value of the restricted stock units fluctuates based on changes in Hanesbrands’ stock price. Similarly, the value of stock equivalent units held in the SERP, the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan and the Director Deferred Compensation Plan fluctuates based on changes in Hanesbrands’ stock price.
