In connection with the restructuring activity of our upholstery fabrics cut and sew operation located in Ouanaminthe, Haiti, effective January 24, 2023, Culp Upholstery Fabrics Haiti, Ltd. (“CUF Haiti”) entered into an agreement to terminate a lease of a facility (“Termination Agreement”). See Note 9 of the consolidated financial statements for further details regarding this restructuring activity.

Pursuant to the terms of the original lease agreement (the “Original Lease”), CUF Haiti was required to pay in advance $2.8 million for the full amount of rent due prior to the commencement of the Original Lease, and the initial lease term was set to expire on December 31, 2029. Pursuant to the terms of the Termination Agreement, the Original Lease was formally terminated when CUF Haiti vacated and returned possession of the leased facility to the lessor. After CUF Haiti vacated and returned possession of the leased facility, a third party (the “Lessee”) took possession of this facility, and the Lessee agreed to pay CUF Haiti $2.4 million in the form of a note receivable over a period commencing on April 1, 2023, and ending on December 31, 2029, based on the terms stated in the Termination Agreement. In connection with Termination Agreement, an affiliate of the Lessee has guaranteed payment in full of all amounts due and payable to CUF Haiti by the Lessee, and CUF Haiti has been fully and unconditionally discharged from all of its remaining obligations under the Original Lease.

As of the end of our third quarter of fiscal 2023, the carrying amount of the note receivable totaling $2.4 million was recorded at its fair value of $2.0 million, which represented the present value of future discounted cash flows based on the payment amounts and timing of such payments due from the Lessee as stated in the Termination Agreement. Consequently, since the fair value of the note receivable was less than its carrying amount, we recorded a restructuring charge of $434,000 during the third quarter of fiscal 2023 to reduce the note receivable’s carrying amount to its reported fair value.

The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future discounted cash flows was based on significant unobservable inputs and assumptions determined by management such as (i) the credit characteristics of the Lessee and guarantor of the

Termination Agreement; (ii) the length of the payment terms as defined in the Termination Agreement; (iii) the payment terms as defined in the Termination Agreement being denominated in USD; and (iv) the fact that the facility is located in, and the Lessee and guarantor conduct business in, Haiti, a foreign country. Since management used significant unobservable inputs and assumptions to determine the fair value of this note receivable, this note receivable was classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy (see Note 11 for further explanation of the fair value hierarchy).

The following table represents the remaining future principal payments as of July 30, 2023:


(dollars in thousands)
2024	$	270
2025		360
2026		360
2027		360
2028		360
Thereafter		600
Undiscounted value of note receivable	$	2,310
Less: unearned interest income		(397	)
Present value of note receivable	$	1,913

As of July 30, 2023, we believe there is no expected credit loss related to the collectibility of our note receivable, as the Lessee has made all of the required principal payments stated in the Termination Agreement. We will continue to evaluate the facts and circumstances at the end of each reporting period to determine if an expected credit loss is deemed necessary.
