10. Commitments and Contingencies

 

We are involved in various legal and environmental matters which arise in the normal course of business. Although the final outcome of these matters cannot be determined, based on the facts presently known, we believe that the final resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or future results of operations.

 

Lease Guarantees

 

We were contingently liable under licensee lease obligation guarantees in the amounts of $3,656 and $4,148 at May 30, 2026 and November 29, 2025, respectively. The remaining term under these lease guarantees extends for approximately five years.

 

In the event of default by the licensee, we believe that the risk of loss is mitigated through a combination of options that include, but are not limited to, arranging for a replacement licensee or liquidating the collateral (primarily inventory). The proceeds of the above options are expected to cover the estimated amount of our future payments under the guarantee obligation, net of recorded reserves. The fair value of these lease guarantees (an estimate of the cost to the Company to perform on the guarantee) at May 30, 2026 and November 29, 2025 was not material.

 

 

Lease Commitments

 

At May 30, 2026, we had a commitment for one lease of real property which is expected to commence during fiscal 2026. This lease calls for total annual rents averaging approximately $403 per year for an initial term of ten years. The lease has two five-year renewal options.
