Item 1.01. Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 22, 2005, The William Carter Company (“TWCC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Carter’s, Inc. (“Carter’s”) entered into the First Supplemental Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of June 22, 2005, among TWCC, the guarantors party thereto, and U.S. Bank National Association (as successor to State Street Bank and Trust Company) (“U.S. Bank”), as trustee. The Supplemental Indenture amends the indenture (the “Indenture”) dated August 15, 2001 by and among TWCC, the guarantors party thereto, and U.S. Bank by eliminating substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default contained in the Indenture.
The foregoing summary of the Supplemental Indenture is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Supplemental Indenture attached as Exhibit 2.1, and incorporated herein by reference.

As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 22, 2005, which was the deadline for holders to tender their Notes in order to receive the consent payment in connection with the offer, tenders and consents had been received from holders of $113,425,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, representing approximately 99.7% of the outstanding Notes. The tender offer remains open until 9:00 a.m., New York City time on July 14, 2005, which is extended from 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on July 8, 2005.
