As previously disclosed, in conjunction with the continued rationalization of its real estate portfolio, the Company entered into subleases with commencement dates in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 (Predecessor). The Company recorded sublease income for the period from March 30, 2025 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) and the three months ended June 29, 2024 (Predecessor) of $1,086 and $916, respectively, as an offset to selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company recorded sublease income for the period from December 29, 2024 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor) and the six months ended June 29, 2024 (Predecessor) of $2,205 and $1,827, respectively, as an offset to selling, general and administrative expenses.

In connection with the Chapter 11 bankruptcy, on June 3, 2025 the Company filed a motion with the Court to reject the lease of our nonresidential real property located at our New York City, New York location (“Corporate Headquarters Lease”). By order dated June 12, 2025 (Docket No. 161), the Court approved such rejection, effective June 30, 2025. The rejected lease was abandoned and the Company derecognized the operating lease right-of-use assets of $32,660 and the related leasehold improvements of $10,371, which are included in the caption “Reorganization items, net” in the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statement of operations for the period from March 30, 2025 through June 24, 2025 (Predecessor). As part of the fresh start accounting adjustments, the Company adjusted the operating lease liabilities to the estimated allowable claim of $8,100, which resulted in a net reduction in the operating lease liabilities of $34,796, consisting of a decrease of $38,545 in long-term operating lease liabilities partially offset by an increase of $3,749 in portion of operating lease liabilities due within one year, as of June 24, 2025 (Predecessor). Any unrejected lease obligations that were incurred prior to the Petition Date and remained unpaid as of the balance sheet date are summarized below.

The Company’s weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rates were as follows:
