OF $125 MILLION OF SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2007
Dyersburg Corporation (NUSE: DBG) today announced that it plans to
issue up to $125 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Subordinated

offering memorandum to institutional investors pursuant to Rule 144A and other
exemptions under the Securities Act of 1933.
The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent
registration or an applicable exemption from registration under federal and
state securities laws.
