Commitments and Contingencies
As of September 26, 2015, the Company's equity method investment related to an equity interest in an entity formed during fiscal 2013 for the purpose of developing a new office tower in Manhattan, the Hudson Yards joint venture, with the Company owning less than 43% of the joint venture. This investment is included in the Company’s long-term investments.
The formation of the Hudson Yards joint venture serves as a financing vehicle for the project. Construction of the new building has commenced and upon expected completion of the office tower in fiscal 2016, the Company will retain a condominium interest serving as its new corporate headquarters. During the quarter ended September 26, 2015, the Company invested $51.4 million in the joint venture. Since the formation of the Hudson Yards joint venture, the Company has invested $371.6 million. The Company expects to invest approximately $158 million over the remainder of fiscal 2016, depending on construction progress. Outside of the joint venture, the Company is directly investing in a portion of the design and build-out of the new corporate headquarters. During the first three months of fiscal 2016, $11.3 million was included in capital expenditures and we expect approximately another $175 million over the remaining period of construction.
The Hudson Yards joint venture is determined to be a VIE primarily due to the fact that it has insufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from its two joint venture partners. The Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of the entity primarily because the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance. The Company's maximum loss exposure is limited to the committed capital.
The Company had standby letters of credit totaling $6.8 million outstanding at both September 26, 2015 and June 27, 2015. The letters of credit, which expire at various dates through 2016, primarily collateralize the Company's obligation to third parties for insurance claims, leases and materials used in product manufacturing. The Company pays certain fees with respect to letters of credit that are issued.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to several pending legal proceedings and claims. Although the outcome of such items cannot be determined with certainty, the Company's general counsel and management are of the opinion that the final outcome will not have a material effect on the Company’s cash flow, results of operations or financial position.
