The Notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-146594) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Act.

     The net proceeds received by the Company, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, was approximately $592 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of debt under its existing bridge loan facility. The Notes are the unsecured obligations of V.F. Corporation and rank equally with all of its other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

The 2017 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 5.950% per year and the 2037 Notes will bear interest at the rate of 6.450% per year. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing on May 1, 2008. The 2017 Notes will mature on November 1, 2017, and the 2037 Notes will mature on November 1, 2037.
