By Paul A. Harris

St. Louis, Dec. 11 - Hanesbrands Inc. priced a restructured $500 million issue of eight-year senior floating-rate notes (B2/B-) at par to yield six-month Libor plus 337.5 basis points on Monday, according to an informed source.

The yield came tight to the Libor plus 337.5 to 362.5 bps price talk.

Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch & Co. were joint bookrunners for the notes, which were issued via Rule 144A with registration rights and via Regulation S. ABN Amro, Barclays Capital, Citigroup and HSBC were the co-managers.

Proceeds will be used to refinance the company's bridge loan.
