On February 9, 2017, the Compensation Committee (the Committee)
of the Board of Directors of McDonald’s Corporation (the
Company) approved the payout structure for the 2017 TIP awards
for executives.
The target 2017 TIP awards for the Companys named executive

50%

TIP payouts will be determined primarily by growth in the
Companys operating income in 2017 over its 2016 operating income.
The officers listed above are not eligible to receive a TIP
payout if the Company (and/or an applicable business segment)
does not achieve growth in operating income in 2017. Operating
income is measured on a consolidated or business segment level
basis, as applicable to each individuals award. For Messrs.
Easterbrook and Ozan the payout will be based on consolidated
performance. For Mr. Goare, the payout will be based on a
combination of the performance of the International Lead Markets
segment and consolidated performance; and for Mr. Kempczinski,
the payout will be based upon a combination of the performance of
McDonalds USA and consolidated performance.
In addition to operating income performance, 2017 TIP payouts to
the officers listed above may also be impacted, positively or
negatively, by the Companys performance against certain
pre-established modifiers that are closely linked to the Companys
business initiatives.
The maximum TIP award that any of the above individuals can earn
in 2017 is 200% of the target award.
For compensation purposes, operating income may be adjusted from
that reported in our financial statements. Specifically, operating
income is expressed in constant currencies to more accurately
reflect underlying business trends. In addition, certain income
and/or expense items that are not indicative of ongoing results may
be excluded at the discretion of the Committee.
