Russell Corporation (“Russell,” “we,” “our,” or the “Company”) is a leading authentic athletic and sporting goods company with over a century of success. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, we sell athletic uniforms, apparel, athletic footwear, sporting goods, athletic equipment, and accessories for a wide variety of sports, outdoor and fitness activities under well-known brands such asRussell Athletic® . Since incorporating in 1902, the “Russell” name has been associated with quality apparel. Over the past decade, competition in the apparel industry has grown increasingly intense due to globalization of supply, reduced trade restrictions and low barriers to entry. We have responded to these circumstances in several ways. In 1998, we initiated a restructuring and reorganization program with the objectives of (i) transitioning the Company from a manufacturing-driven business to a consumer-focused organization that markets branded apparel products and (ii) creating an efficient, low-cost operating structure with the flexibility to take advantage of future opportunities to further reduce costs, such as strategic outsourcing arrangements, transferring our sewing and assembly operations to offshore facilities, and utilizing increasingly efficient domestic facilities.
