As of September 26, 2021, outstanding leases have remaining lease terms ranging from 1 year to 18 years. The Company has additional operating leases that have not yet commenced as of September 26, 2021 and, therefore, were not included as operating lease right-of-use assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities on our balance sheet at September 26, 2021. These operating leases will commence between the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 and the second quarter of fiscal 2022 with lease terms of 5 years to 10 years. The estimated fair value of these operating lease right-of-use assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities to be recorded on our balance sheet upon lease commencement is approximately $5.8 million.
