or the &ldquo;<B>Company</B>&rdquo;) is submitting this special disclosure report on Form SD as required pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the &ldquo;<B>SEC</B>&rdquo;) and known as
the &ldquo;conflict minerals rule&rdquo; (the &ldquo;<B>Conflict Minerals Rule</B>&rdquo;). The Conflict Minerals Rule implements Section
1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the &ldquo;<B>Dodd-Frank Act</B>&rdquo;) which requires issuers
of securities that are required to file annual and quarterly reports with the SEC to publicly disclose certain information regarding
tantalite (coltan; i.e. tantalum), cassiterite (i.e. tin), wolframite (i.e. tungsten) and gold (the &ldquo;<B>3TGs</B>&rdquo;) necessary
to the production or functionality of products that they manufacture or contract to manufacture.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">This disclosure describes (a) the Company&rsquo;s
reasonable country of origin inquiry (the &ldquo;<B>RCOI</B>&rdquo;) for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the &ldquo;<B>2021 Reporting
Period</B>&rdquo;) conducted to determine whether 3TGs in products that the Company manufactures or contracts to manufacture originated
in the Democratic Republic of Congo or adjoining countries (collectively the &ldquo;<B>Covered Countries</B>&rdquo;), and (b) based on
the results of the RCOI, the Company&rsquo;s determination as to the origin of the 3TGs in products that the Company manufactures or contracts
to manufacture.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Gildan is a leading manufacturer of everyday basic
apparel which markets its products in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America, under a diversified portfolio of Company-owned
brands, including Gildan&reg;, American Apparel&reg;, Comfort Colors&reg;, Gildan&reg; Hammer&reg;, GoldToe&reg;, Alstyle&reg;, Secret&reg;,
Silks&reg;, Secret Silky&reg;, Therapy Plus&reg;, Peds&reg; and MediPeds&reg;, and under the Under Armour&reg; brand through a sock licensing
agreement providing exclusive distribution rights in the United States and Canada. Our product offering includes activewear, underwear,
socks, hosiery, and legwear products sold to a broad range of customers, including wholesale distributors, screenprinters or embellishers,
as well as to retailers that sell to consumers through their physical stores and/or e-commerce platforms, and to global lifestyle brand
companies.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Gildan owns and operates vertically integrated, large-scale
manufacturing facilities which are primarily located in Central America, the Caribbean, North America, and Bangladesh. With approximately
48,000 employees worldwide, Gildan operates with a strong commitment to industry-leading labour, environmental and governance practices
throughout its supply chain in accordance with its comprehensive ESG program embedded in the Company's long-term business strategy. More
information about the Company and its ESG practices and initiatives can be found at www.gildancorp.com.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Due to its position as a downstream manufacturer and
distributor of finished products, Gildan does not directly source any minerals from mines, smelters or refiners. 3TGs included in Gildan&rsquo;s
products are in components acquired from suppliers, and Gildan is typically several steps removed from the origin of the ores.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0pt"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0pt; text-align: justify"><I><U>Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry</U></I></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Gildan reviewed its entire range of products manufactured
and sourced during the 2021 Reporting Period in order to identify all metallic components contained therein and necessary for the production
or functionality of such products. Certain zippers (including pulls, sliders, and zipper rings), hooks, metal rings, strap adjusters,
grommets, snaps, and flatcord with metal molded tips, all necessary for the functionality of their respective products (the &ldquo;<B>Metallic
Components</B>&rdquo;) revealed small amounts (in all cases less than six thousand (6,000) parts per million) of tin. The Metallic Components
were supplied by seven (7) different suppliers (each a &ldquo;<B>Supplier</B>&rdquo; and collectively the &ldquo;<B>Suppliers</B>&rdquo;),
and three (3) of the Suppliers confirmed that the tin and/or gold found in their Metallic Components were purposefully added during production
to render the applicable components more flexible or for the purpose of creating a decorative (plated) finish.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">As a result, Gildan&rsquo;s products subject to the
Conflict Minerals Rule analysis and containing the purposefully added tin and/or gold are: (a) knit tops with zippers and draw cords made
with metal molded tips, (b) sweatshirts with &frac14; zippers, (c) bra straps with metal coated sliders and adjusters, (d) infant one
pieces, and (e) sweatpants with flatcord with metal tip (the &ldquo;<B>Products</B>&rdquo;). Gildan manufactures the knit tops in its
own vertically integrated facilities but sources all other Products from third party suppliers. Gildan does not require from its suppliers
that any Metallic Component used in its products contains 3TGs.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The RCOI was conducted by sending questionnaires to
all seven (7) Suppliers procuring the Metallic Components for the Products or contracted to manufacture some of the Products containing
the Metallic Components. These Suppliers account for less than 1% of Gildan&rsquo;s total annual cost of materials used in products that
the Company manufactured or that the Company contracted to manufacture in 2021. Gildan requested that each Supplier complete the Conflict
Free Sourcing&rsquo;s Initiative&rsquo;s (CFSI) Conflict Minerals Reporting Template, which was created by the Electronic Industry Citizenship
Coalition and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative as a common means for the collection of sourcing information related to conflict
minerals. This reporting template is a common data collection tool used across industries by companies with and without direct smelter
relationships, and its questions are designed to generate necessary representations required to make determinations about the origin of
the 3TGs.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">All seven (7) Suppliers, even those whose products
did not contain any purposefully added 3TGs, responded to the Company&rsquo;s inquiry by completing the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template
and provided the Company with written assurances that none of the Products sold to Gildan during the 2021 Reporting Period contain 3TGs
that have originated from the Covered Countries. Three (3) of the Suppliers who purposefully add 3TGs to the Metallic Components represented
to conduct their own RCOI with their respective direct suppliers using the Conflict Free Sourcing&rsquo;s Initiative&rsquo;s (CFSI) Conflict
Minerals Reporting Template or a substantially similar questionnaire. In addition, all three (3) of the Suppliers who purposefully add
3TGs to the Metallic Components represented to have in place a conflict minerals sourcing policy. Finally, all three (3) Suppliers who
purposefully add 3TGs to the Metallic Components identified the smelters believed to be involved in the smelting of such 3TGs. Such smelters
are either listed as Conflict-Free Tin Smelters under the Conflict-Free Smelter Program list provided by the Conflict-Free Smelter Initiative,
or located outside the Covered Countries.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Company determined that it had no reason to believe
that the Suppliers&rsquo; representations generated in the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template and in the written certification provided
to the Company were false or inaccurate, and based on such representations determined in good faith that it had no reason to believe that
the 3TG contained in the Metallic Components used in the Products may have originated from the Covered Countries.</P>
