Gildan Activewear Inc. says it has completed its acquisition of HanesBrands Inc.
Gildan CEO Glenn Chamandy says in a press release that the acquisition will double the company’s scale.
He added that the priority now is to integrate HanesBrands and deliver on promises of at least US$200 million in cost savings through efficiencies.
Montreal-based Gildan announced the deal to snap up HanesBrands for US$2.2 billion in August.
Last week, shareholders of both companies agreed to the terms of the planned combination.
A press release from S&P Dow Jones Indices indicates shares of HanesBrands will be exchanged for 80 cents US in cash and 0.102 shares of Gildan Activewear per each share held of HanesBrands.
