VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Variable Interest Entities Not Consolidated
We have variable interests in certain entities that we have determined to be variable interest entities, but for which we are not the primary beneficiary. We do not consolidate the financial statements of these entities.
We lease certain office buildings from entities that we have determined to be variable interest entities. The lease agreements with these entities include fixed-price purchase options for the assets being leased. The lease agreements also contain contingent put options (the "lease put options") that allow the lessors to require us to purchase the buildings at the greater of original construction cost, or fair market value, without a lease agreement in place (the "put price") in certain limited circumstances. As a result of substantial impairment charges related to our divested Private Brands operations, these lease put options are exercisable now and remain exercisable until generally 30 days after the end of the respective lease agreements. We are amortizing the difference between the put price and the estimated fair value (without a lease agreement in place) of each respective property over the remaining respective lease term within selling, general and administrative expenses. As of November 26, 2017 and May 28, 2017, the estimated amount by which the put prices exceeded the fair values of the related properties was $50.7 million, of which we had accrued $10.2 million and $8.4 million, respectively. In December 2017, subsequent to the second quarter of fiscal 2018, we purchased a building that had been subject to a put option. We will recognize a net loss of approximately $13 million for the early termination of the associated lease in our third quarter of fiscal 2018. Also in December 2017, we made an offer to purchase another property subject to a put option. We have not entered into a binding legal contract in connection with this offer. However, if our offer is accepted, we may recognize an estimated loss of $30 million to $40 million, upon closing of the transaction, for the early exit of an unfavorable lease contract. If this transaction is completed, we would have one remaining leased building subject to a put option for which the put option price exceeds the estimated fair value by $8.2 million, of which we had accrued $1.0 million, as of November 26, 2017. These leases, with the exception of one, are accounted for as operating leases. A capital lease asset and related lease obligation of $25.3 million and $28.9 million, respectively, were included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of November 26, 2017. We have determined that we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these entities. In making this determination, we have considered, among other items, the terms of the lease agreements, the expected remaining useful lives of the assets leased, and the capital structure of the lessor entities.
