As previously disclosed, on June 15, 2007, Maidenform Brands, Inc. (“Maidenform”) entered into a Credit Agreement (which was subsequently amended, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Maidenform, Maidenform, Inc., as borrower, the financial institutes listed as lenders on the signature pages thereto, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing lender, and Caisse de Dépôt et Placement du Québec, as sole lead arranger, regarding a $100.0 million amortizing first lien term loan and a $50.0 million revolving loan facility

On October 7, 2013, in connection with the Merger, as defined in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, Hanesbrands Inc., on behalf of Maidenform, paid all fees and other amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement, and Maidenform terminated the Credit Agreement.  No early termination penalties were incurred by Maidenform.

 
Item 2.01
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
 
On October 7, 2013, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger ( the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of July 23, 2013, among Maidenform, Hanesbrands Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Hanesbrands”), and General Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Hanesbrands (“Merger Subsidiary”), Maidenform was acquired by Hanesbrands through a merger of Merger Subsidiary with and into Maidenform (the “Merger”), with Maidenform surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Hanesbrands (the “Surviving Corporation”).
 
At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding share of Maidenform common stock (other than shares held by Maidenform, Hanesbrands, any of their respective subsidiaries or held by any holder who has properly perfected its rights of appraisal in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) was converted into the right to receive $23.50 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”).   Further, in connection with the Merger, at the Effective Time, each outstanding employee stock option, stock appreciation right, share of restricted stock and restricted stock unit of Maidenform vested (and in the case of performance awards, in an amount equivalent to the number of shares that would have vested at the target level under the terms of the award agreement related thereto), and each restricted share and restricted stock unit was cancelled in exchange for payment to the holder of the Merger Consideration and each stock option and stock appreciation right award was cancelled in exchange for payment to the holder of an amount, equal to the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price of such award times the number of shares covered by such award.  The aggregate value of consideration paid in connection with the Merger was approximately $583.0 million.
 
The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to Maidenform’s Current Report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 24, 2013, and which is incorporated herein by reference.
