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

On October 17, 2014, the Board of Directors of Hanesbrands Inc. (the “Company”) increased the number of members of the Board of Directors from nine to ten and elected David V. Singer to serve as a director of the Company. The election of Mr. Singer is effective immediately, and he will serve until the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders and until his successor is elected and qualified, or until his resignation or removal. Mr. Singer will serve as a member of the Audit Committee.

Mr. Singer’s compensation will be consistent with the Company’s previously disclosed standard compensatory arrangements for non-employee directors, which are described in the Company’s most recent proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2014, under the heading “Director Compensation.” Mr. Singer will receive cash compensation for 2014, prorated to reflect the commencement date of his Board service.

Other than the standard compensation arrangements described above, there are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Singer and any other person pursuant to which he was elected as a director. The Company is not aware of any transaction with Mr. Singer that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

The press release issued by the Company announcing Mr. Singer’s election is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
