Operating lease payments presented in the table above exclude $5 million of minimum lease payments for a real-estate lease signed but not yet commenced as of December 28, 2024. The lease is expected to commence in 2025. During the year ended December 28, 2024, the Company entered into lease agreements with unrelated third parties for distribution centers previously leased by Kellanova. The leases were either transferred to the Company or subleased directly from Kellanova as outlined in the Separation and Distribution Agreement. Payments for these leases are made on a monthly basis. Prior to the execution of these leases, use of the distribution centers was managed under the Transition Services Agreement. The new sublease agreements executed during 2024 resulted in an increase to operating lease assets and liabilities of $99 million. In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company executed an agreement with Kellanova, in which Kellanova leases a portion of the Company's headquarters office building in Battle Creek, Michigan. The lease is scheduled to expire in 2035, with two optional extensions of five years each. A base rent amount, plus additional general operating expenses are to be paid to the Company on a monthly basis. The income received during 2024 related to this agreement was immaterial to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
