Lease Guarantees

Wendy’s has guaranteed the performance of certain leases and other obligations, primarily from former Company-operated restaurant locations now operated by franchisees, amounting to $74,538 as of June 28, 2020. These leases extend through 2045. We have not received any notice of default related to these leases as of June 28, 2020. In the event of default by a franchise owner, Wendy’s generally retains the right to acquire possession of the related restaurant locations.

As of June 28, 2020, the Company had outstanding letters of credit with various parties totaling $26,374. Substantially all of the outstanding letters of credit include amounts outstanding against the 2019-1 Class A-1 Notes. We do not expect any material loss to result from these letters of credit.
