| (1) |  | Operating lease obligations have been reduced by approximately $3.3 million to reflect expected sub-lease income. Certain obligations under leasing arrangements are collateralized by the underlying asset being leased.
| (2) |  | Future minimum lease payments include $2.4 million of lease payment obligations for the prior leased Miami distribution center. For the purposes of calculating the minimum lease payments, a reduction is reflected for the actual sub-lease income the Company expects to receive during the remaining lease term. This sub-lease income was also considered, for the purposes of calculating the exit obligation, which was immaterial as of August 31, 2018.
| (3) |  | In March 2018, the Company acquired Aeropost, Inc., which provides logistics, payment and e-commerce services in Latin America and the Caribbean. Aeropost currently serves customers in 38 countries with Costa Rica, Trinidad and Jamaica as its largest markets. Aeropost leases and operates small retail stores that enable customers to pick up and pay for merchandise. Future minimum lease payments includes amounts related to these small retail locations, Aeropost Corporate Headquarters, central offices and distribution facilities.
