     About Broder Bros., Co.
     Broder Bros., Co. owns and operates three leading brands in the
 imprintable sportswear industry: "Broder," "Alpha," and "NES." Through these
 three longstanding and well-recognized industry leaders, the Company operates
 17 distribution centers, strategically located throughout the United States,
 with the capability to ship to over 80% of the U.S. population in one day and
 98% of the U.S. population in two days. The imprintable sportswear industry is
 characterized by a highly fragmented customer base comprised primarily of
 regional and local decorators who, primarily because of their size, do not
 generally purchase directly from manufacturers. The Company provides the
 resources to handle small orders, while offering broad selection, depth of
 inventory and rapid delivery. The Company's customers are decorators who
 decorate the blank products it supplies and then in turn sell to a wide
 variety of end-use consumers.
     The Broder, Alpha, and NES brands offer unparalleled customer service,
 product selection, industry-leading catalogs and marketing materials that have
 been central to the success of each brand. The Company offers virtually all of
 the leading industry product styles including those manufactured by Gildan,
 Hanes, Jerzees, Fruit of the Loom, and Anvil, as well as many exclusive brands
 including Nike Golf, Champion, Columbia Sportswear, Perry Ellis, Weatherproof
 and Adidas Golf. The Company has also developed proprietary brands including
 Devon & Jones, Chestnut Hill, Authentic Pigment, Harriton, Luna Pier, HYP,
 Desert Wash, Great Republic, Apples & Oranges and Harvard Square.
     Broder Bros., Co. was purchased in May 2000 by Bain Capital, one of the
 leading private equity investment firms in the world. Subsequent to Bain's
 purchase of Broder Bros., Co., the Company expanded its geographic reach and
 market share through the acquisitions of St. Louis T's in 2000, Full Line
 Distributors and Gulf Coast Sportswear in 2001, T-Shirts & More and Alpha
 Shirt Company in 2003, and NES Clothing Company in 2004.
     Broder Bros., Co. headquarters are located at Six Neshaminy Interplex,
 Trevose, PA 19053. Further information can be found on the Company's web-
