Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard;
Transfer of Listing.
On December 13, 2006, VF Corporation announced plans to voluntarily withdraw the listing of its
common stock from NYSE Arca, Inc., formerly the Pacific Exchange. VF’s common stock will continue
to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
VF has decided to withdraw its listing from NYSE Arca, Inc. to reduce fees and duplicative
administrative requirements associated with dual listings resulting from the NYSE Group’s recent
merger with Archipelago Holdings, the parent company of NYSE Arca.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of
Principal Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On December 12, 2006, Mackey McDonald, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of VF Corporation,
requested that the Board of Directors modify his change-in-control agreement, dated December 17,
2004, to delete Section 4(iii)(D)(1) of the agreement that provides for an additional payment to
him (the “Excise Tax Gross-Up Payment”) such that he would retain an amount, after payment of all
taxes, equal to all excise taxes imposed upon payments received in the event of a
change-in-control. In response to Mr. McDonald’s request, the Board of Directors modified his
change-in-control agreement to delete the Excise Tax Gross-Up Payment.
