In other recent news, Hanesbrands Inc. has announced the completion of conditions necessary for the redemption of its 4.875% Senior Notes due in 2026. The company plans to redeem these notes on March 17, 2025, at a price slightly above their principal amount, utilizing proceeds from recent debt financings. Meanwhile, S&P Global Ratings has downgraded Hanesbrands’ senior secured credit facilities to ’BB-’ due to the increased amount of secured debt in its capital structure.
