Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

As of January 30, 2021, we are a party to certain apparel license and design agreements, primarily within our Lanier Apparel operating group, which contemplate minimum royalty and advertising payments of $4 million in respect of Fiscal 2021.

In connection with our Fiscal 2017 acquisition of TBBC, we entered into a contingent consideration agreement which requires us to make cash payments to the sellers of up to $4 million in the aggregate subject to TBBC’s achievement of certain earnings targets over a four year period subsequent to the acquisition. Pursuant to this contingent consideration agreement, as of January 30, 2021, $1 million, in the aggregate, was earned related to Fiscal 2018 and Fiscal 2019 and has been paid to the sellers, and $1 million was earned related to Fiscal 2020 and is payable in Fiscal 2021. One of the sellers of TBBC is an employee and continues to manage the operations of TBBC.

During the 1990s, we discovered the presence of hazardous waste on one of our properties. We believe that remedial or other activities may be required, including continued investigation and monitoring of groundwater and soil, although the timing and extent of such activities is uncertain. As of both January 30, 2021 and February 1, 2020, the reserve for the remediation of this site was less than $1 million, which is included in other non-current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The amount recorded represents our estimate of the costs, on an undiscounted basis, to clean up and monitor the site as well as any associated legal and consulting fees, based on currently available information. This estimate may change in future periods as more information on the activities required and timing of those activities become known.
