MEMPHIS-BASED DISTRIBUTION FACILITY

NOTE E. MEMPHIS-BASED DISTRIBUTION FACILITY

Our Memphis-based distribution facility includes an operating lease entered into in August 1990 for a distribution facility in Memphis, Tennessee. The lessor is a general partnership comprised of the estate of W. Howard Lester, our former Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and the estate of James A. McMahan, a former Director Emeritus and significant stockholder, and two unrelated parties. The partnership does not have operations separate from the leasing of this distribution facility and does not have lease agreements with any unrelated third parties. The terms of the lease automatically renewed until the bonds that financed the construction of the facility were fully repaid during the second quarter of 2015. Simultaneously, we entered into an agreement with the partnership to lease the facility through July 2017.

Prior to August 2, 2015, the partnership described above qualified as a variable interest entity and was consolidated by us due to its related party relationship and our obligation to renew the lease until the bonds were fully repaid. Accordingly, as of August 2, 2015, this facility is no longer consolidated by us.
