On December 12, 2007, VF Corporation (“VF”) announced that George N. Derhofer, Senior Vice President—Global Operations of VF, has decided to retire at the end of the year after 13 years of service with VF. In connection with Mr. Derhofer’s retirement, the Board of Directors of VF approved an arrangement with him that prohibits him from working for certain specified competitors and from hiring VF employees for one year following his retirement from VF. Subject to Mr. Derhofer’s compliance with his obligations, benefits under the arrangement include one year’s salary continuation following his retirement. Mr. Derhofer’s retirement will be effective January 1, 2008.

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On December 11, 2007, the Board of Directors of VF adopted amendments to the By-Laws. As previously announced, Mackey J. McDonald will serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Eric C. Wiseman will serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of VF, effective January 1, 2008. The changes effected by the amendments give the Board of Directors the flexibility to combine or divide the titles and responsibilities of Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer and President as they deem appropriate. The changed provisions read as follows, with additional language underlined.

The first sentence of Article V, Section 7, regarding the office of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, was modified to read:

Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors , the Chairman of the Board of Directors shall be the chief executive officer of the Corporation and shall have general supervision over the business and operations of the Corporation, subject, however, to the control of the Board of Directors.

The following changes were made to Article V, Section 8, regarding the office of the President:

Unless the Board of Directors has determined that the President shall serve as the chief executive officer of the Corporation with general supervision over the business and operations of the Corporation (subject, however, to the control of the Board of Directors) , the President shall be the chief operating officer of the Corporation and shall be authorized to sign, execute, and acknowledge, in the name of the Corporation, deeds, mortgages, bonds, contracts, and other instruments authorized by the Board of Directors, except in cases where the signing and execution thereof shall be expressly delegated by the Board of Directors to some other officer or agent of the Corporation; and in general, he shall perform

duties incident to the office of President, and such other duties as from time to time may be assigned to him by the Board of Directors or by the Chairman. If the President is serving as a director, then during the absence or disability of the Chairman of the Board, he shall preside at all meetings of the shareholders or the Board of Directors.
