HanesBrands Completes Acquisition Of Maidenform Brands

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — October 7, 2013 — HanesBrands, a leading marketer of everyday basic apparel
under world-class brands, today announced that it has closed the acquisition of Maidenform Brands,
Inc., for approximately $583 million.

Maidenform is a leading seller of bras, shapewear and panties under brands such as
Maidenform, Flexees, Lilyette, Self Expressions and Sweet Nothings, as well as Donna Karan and DKNY
intimate apparel under license.

Hanes will discuss expected acquisition-related sales and profit contributions and expenses
on its third-quarter 2013 investor conference call anticipated to be held in late October or early
November.

“Maidenform is a great company with strong brands and a rich tradition of innovation in
intimate apparel,” Hanes Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Richard A. Noll said. “The Maidenform
business and brands are a perfect addition and complement to our core business and brands. This is
an excellent use of our strong free cash flow to create value.”

The acquisition is expected to create growth and cost savings opportunities and increased
scale to serve retailers. The acquisition will complement Hanes’ Innovate-to-Elevate strategy,
which integrates the company’s world-class brands, low-cost supply chain and product innovation.

Hanes funded the acquisition with cash on hand and short-term borrowings on its revolving
credit facility, which will be retired through free cash flow.

Goldman, Sachs & Co. served as exclusive financial advisor and King & Spalding LLP
served as legal counsel to Hanes.
