The Company enters into license agreements with strategic partners, inventors, designers and others for the use of intellectual properties in its products. Certain of these agreements contain provisions for the payment of guaranteed or minimum royalty amounts. In addition, the Company enters into contractual commitments to obtain film and television content distribution rights and minimum guarantee commitments related to the purchase of film and television rights for content to be delivered in the future. Under terms of existing agreements as of December 27, 2020, Hasbro may, provided the other party meets their contractual commitment, be required to pay amounts as follows: 2021: $380,507; 2022: $121,399; 2023: $52,653; 2024: $32,653; 2025: $32,653; and thereafter: $32,806.
