Hanesbrands Inc (NYSE:HBI) announced on Wednesday that it plans to sell its European Imagewear business, and plans to close its private label business and sell Outer Banks brand in the US.


Imagewear constitutes 8% of Hanesbrands's revenue.

The company is expected to take into account the restructuring expenses related to the sale of the Imagewear sector in the second quarter, which is between us $85 million and US $95 million, and expects that the sale will lead to a reduction of US $60 million in the second half of this year.

The company plans to sell the Imagewear department at a price of about 15 million euros (US $18 million 800 thousand) to a subsidiary company of Smartwares BV, Holland.
