Hanesbrands is utilizing the Direct Registration System ("DRS") which creates a much safer “certificateless” environment for stockholders. Through DRS, your shares are registered electronically on the records of the corporation in an account maintained by Computershare Investor Services, Hanesbrands' transfer agent. These shares can be sold, transferred to another individual, or transferred to your broker in this form.

No. Hanesbrands will NOT issue paper certificates, even if requested. You will receive periodic DRS statements from Computershare Investor Services reflecting the number of shares that you own and any activity in your account.

The Direct Registration System, or DRS, is a system that allows your shares in Hanesbrands Inc. to be held in your name in a "book-entry" account and tracked electronically, without having a physical certificate issued. You retain full ownership of your shares, and you have all the traditional rights and privileges as holders of shares held in certificate form have. You have been assigned an account number and will continue to receive statements that detail your account activity and your share balance. Computershare Investor Services is the transfer agent responsible for maintaining your shares on Hanesbrands' books.

Book-entry is the security industry's preferred method of security ownership and is used for all U.S. Treasury bills, bonds, notes, U.S. Government Agency securities, and mutual funds. DRS allows you to provide trading instructions in a quick and efficient manner, and lets you avoid the risk of holding a stock certificate that might be lost, stolen, or destroyed. The process to replace a lost stock certificate may require you to purchase a surety bond and complete an affidavit, which can be costly and time-consuming.
