TIP payouts will be
TIP payouts will be primarily determined by the Company's 2022 performance on
two key financial performance metrics: operating income and Systemwide sales
(which include sales at all restaurants, whether operated by the Company or by
franchisees). Each of these metrics is viewed as a critical driver of the
Company's success. Operating income is a key component of the Company's strategy
because it requires the Company to balance increases in revenue with financial
discipline to produce strong margins and Systemwide sales is important in our
franchise model because income generation is closely correlated to sales growth.
We believe that Systemwide sales is also a good measure of franchisee health
given our large percentage of franchised restaurants.

Each of these metrics is measured on a consolidated or business segment level
basis, as applicable to each individual. For Messrs. Kempczinski and Ozan and
Ms. Capozzi, the payout will be based on consolidated performance. For Mr.
Erlinger, the payout will be based on a combination of the performance of
McDonald's USA and consolidated performance, and for Mr. Borden, the payout will
be based on a combination of the performance of McDonald's international markets
and consolidated performance.

In addition to the above financial metrics, 2022 TIP payouts to the named
executive officers listed above will also include metrics that measure the
Company's success in certain aspects with respect to human capital. In addition
to strong financial performance, the Company believes it is important to hold
executives accountable for making progress in diversity, equity and inclusion.

Therefore, for 2022 TIP, executives will be measured on four quantitative
metrics related to championing the Company's core values, improving diversity
representation for women and underrepresented groups, and creating a strong
culture of inclusion among employees. Further, in order to accelerate diversity
across our global franchisee base, Messrs. Erlinger and Borden have the
opportunity to receive an increased 2022 TIP payout if they increase the
diversity in the franchisee pipeline to a specified level.

The primary 2022 TIP metrics will be operating income growth (42.5%), Systemwide
sales growth (42.5%) and human capital metrics (15%). In addition, Messrs.
Erlinger and Borden have a franchisee diversity modifier that could increase the
payout of their 2022 TIP award by 15 TIP points. The maximum 2022 TIP award that
any of the above individuals can earn is 200% of the target award.

For compensation purposes, performance results may be adjusted from those
reported in our financial statements in order to focus our executives on the
fundamentals of the Company's underlying business performance. For example,
results are expressed in constant currencies to neutralize the impact of foreign
currency translation.
