Due to continuing higher interest rates for the policy year commencing December 30, 2023, we will pay the premiums for property, general liability, excess liability, crime and terrorism policies in full ($3.932 million), which includes coverage for our franchises (approximately $786,000), at the beginning of the second quarter of our fiscal year 2024.
