ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
Incorporated by reference herein and attached as an exhibit hereto is the press
release of Galey & Lord, Inc. (the "Company") dated July 13, 1999 announcing
that the Company's expected earnings for the June quarter 1999 will likely fall
short of the average estimates that stock analysts have projected.
On July 13, 1999, the Company amended its credit agreement, dated as of January
29, 1998, as amended, with First Union National Bank, as agent and lender and
its syndicate of lenders. The amendment which became effective as of July 3,
1999 (the "Amendment") replaced the Adjusted Leverage Ratio covenant (as defined
in the Amendment) with a minimum EBITDA covenant (as defined in the Amendment)
until the Company's December quarter 2000, replaced the Consolidated Net Worth
covenant with a Consolidated Retained Earnings covenant (as defined in the
Amendment), waived compliance by the Company with the Adjusted Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio until the Company's December quarter 2000 and modified the
Company's covenant related to capital expenditures.
Under the Amendment, the interest rate spread on all borrowings under the
Company's revolving line of credit and term loans will increase by 50 basis
points for the period beginning July 4, 1999 through February 15, 2001. In
addition, the Company repaid $25 million principal amount of its term loan
balance using available borrowings under its revolving line of credit and
reduced the maximum amount of borrowings under the revolving line of credit by
$25 million to $200 million. In addition, the Company and each of its domestic
subsidiaries granted the lenders, as additional collateral, a lien on all real
property owned in the United States.

GALEY & LORD ANNOUNCES EARNINGS EXPECTATIONS FOR JUNE QUARTER
Greensboro, nc, JULY 13, 1999/PRNewswire - Galey & Lord, Inc. (NYSE: GNL) today
announced that although its operating income is positive for the quarter ending
July 3, 1999 (the third quarter of fiscal 1999), it expects to incur a loss
before extraordinary items in the range of $5.5 to $6.0 million, which is
substantially below previous analysts' estimates. The loss before extraordinary
items will be primarily attributable to reduced margins in the Company's Swift
Denim business, reduced sales volume resulting in lower margin contributions
from the Galey & Lord "khaki" business, severance charges of $1.8 million ($1.3
million after-tax) incurred during June quarter for personnel reductions and
increased operating costs incurred in its G&L Service Company garment
manufacturing business. The increased operating costs in G&L Service Company is
due to a change in product mix which will be completed during the September
Quarter 1999. Also, the Company currently anticipates that it will incur a net
loss in the September Quarter 1999.
The Company has amended its senior credit facility with its syndicate of
lenders. The amendment, which became effective as of July 3, 1999, substantially
reduces certain financial covenants. The Company has met all of its interest and
principal payment obligations and continues to reduce its debt by more than the
required principal amortizations. The Company is currently evaluating whether it
will have any extraordinary write-off of fees related to this amendment.
Galey & Lord is a leading global manufacturer of textiles for sportswear,
including cotton casuals, denim and corduroy, as well as a major international
manufacturer of workwear fabrics. In order to offer sportswear customers a
complete package of fabrics and garments from one source, the Company provides
garment manufacturing from its owned and operated garment facilities. The
Company also is a manufacturer of dyed and printed fabrics for use in home
fashions.
This press release contains statements which constitute forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief of current
expectations of the Company and its management team. Prospective investors are
cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may
differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Such
risks and uncertainties include, among other things, competitive and economic
factors in the textile, apparel and home furnishings markets, raw materials and
other costs, weather-related delays, general economic conditions and other risks
and uncertainties that may be detailed, from time-to time, in Galey & Lord's
reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
