(Fixed Rate Notes)

Due From One Year to 60 Years From Date of Issue

 

The following description of the terms of the Notes offered hereby supplements, and, to the extent inconsistent therewith, replaces, the descriptions included in the Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement referred to above, to which descriptions reference is hereby made.

1

It is expected that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about May 17, 2024, which will be the third business day following the date of pricing of the Notes, or “T+3.” Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the United States secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes on the date of pricing will be required, by virtue of the fact the Notes initially will settle in T+3, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Each purchaser should consult their own advisor.

 

 

Method of Payment of Principal:

[Applicable only if other than immediately available funds]

 

Optional Redemption:	¨	The Notes cannot be redeemed prior to Stated Maturity.
	x	The Notes can be redeemed in whole or in part at any time prior to Stated Maturity at the option of McDonald’s Corporation (the “Company”) as set forth below.
Optional Redemption Dates:		At any time prior to Stated Maturity at the option of the Company as set forth below.

 

Redemption Prices:

 

	¨	The Redemption Price shall initially be         % of the principal amount of the Note to be redeemed and shall decline at each anniversary of the initial Optional Redemption Date by % of the principal amount to be redeemed until the Redemption Price is 100% of such principal amount; provided, however, that if this Note is an Original Issue Discount Note, the Redemption Price shall be the Amortized Face Amount of the principal amount to be redeemed.
	x	Other: Prior to February 17, 2034 (the “Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

 

(1)

(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points, less (b) interest accrued to the redemption date, and

 

(2)

100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,

 

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

 

On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

 

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company as of 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or as of such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear as of such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) - H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the

 

 

redemption date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than the Remaining Life and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

 

If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding the redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date – one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date – the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time on the second business day preceding the redemption date. For purposes of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury security (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding the redemption date.

 

The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the trustee shall have no duty to confirm or verify any such determination.

 

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

Modification of Prospectus Supplement, dated July 29, 2021

 

The Prospectus Supplement, dated July 29, 2021, is modified as follows:

 

(1)

Marketing Legends: The text appearing on pages S-ii and S-iii shall be replaced in its entirety with the following six paragraphs:

 

None of this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any related pricing supplement is a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Regulation (as defined below). This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any related pricing supplement have been prepared on the basis that any offer of notes in any Member State of the European Economic Area (the “EEA”) will only be made to a legal entity which is a qualified investor under the Prospectus Regulation (“EEA Qualified Investors”). Accordingly any person making or intending to make an offer in any Member State of notes that are the subject of the offering contemplated in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and

 

 

any related pricing supplement may only do so with respect to EEA Qualified Investors. Neither we nor the agents have authorized, nor do we or they authorize, the making of any offer of notes in the EEA other than to EEA Qualified Investors. The expression “Prospectus Regulation” means Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, as amended.

 

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS — The notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available, and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available, to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a “retail investor” means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended (“MiFID II”); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, as amended (the “Insurance Distribution Directive”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014, as amended (the “PRIIPs Regulation”), for offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

 

None of this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any related pricing supplement is a prospectus for the purposes of the UK Prospectus Regulation (as defined below). This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any related pricing supplement have been prepared on the basis that any offer of notes in the United Kingdom will only be made to a legal entity which is a qualified investor under the UK Prospectus Regulation (“UK Qualified Investors”). Accordingly any person making or intending to make an offer in the United Kingdom of notes that are the subject of the offering contemplated in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any related pricing supplement may only do so with respect to UK Qualified Investors. Neither we nor the agents have authorized, nor do we or they authorize, the making of any offer of notes in the UK other than to UK Qualified Investors. The expression “UK Prospectus Regulation” means Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law of the United Kingdom by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended by the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020 (the “EUWA”).

 

The communication of this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, any related pricing supplement and any other document or materials relating to the notes is not being made, and such documents and/or materials have not been approved, by an authorized person for the purposes of section 21 of the United Kingdom’s Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended (the “FSMA”). Accordingly, such documents and/or materials are not being distributed to, and must not be passed on to, the general public in the United Kingdom. This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, any related pricing supplement and such other documents and/or materials are for distribution only to persons who (i) have professional experience in matters relating to investments and who fall within the definition of investment professionals (as defined in Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005, as amended (the "Financial Promotion Order")), (ii) fall within Article 49(2)(a) to (d) of the Financial Promotion Order, (iii) are outside the United Kingdom, or (iv) are other persons to whom it may otherwise lawfully be made under the Financial Promotion Order (all such persons together being referred to as "relevant persons"). This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, any related pricing supplement and

 

 

any other document or materials relating to the notes are directed only at relevant persons and must not be acted on or relied on by persons who are not relevant persons. Any investment or investment activity to which prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, any related pricing supplement and any other document or materials relates will be engaged in only with relevant persons. Any person in the United Kingdom that is not a relevant person should not act or rely on this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, any related pricing supplement and any other document or materials relating to the notes or any of their contents.

 

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UK RETAIL INVESTORS — The notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available, and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available, to any retail investor in the United Kingdom. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law of the United Kingdom by virtue of the EUWA; (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the FSMA, and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement the Insurance Distribution Directive, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law of the United Kingdom by virtue of the EUWA (“UK MiFIR”); or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law of the United Kingdom by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law of the United Kingdom by virtue of the EUWA (the “UK PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the United Kingdom has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.

 

MIFID II/ UK MIFIR PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / TARGET MARKET — The pricing supplement in respect of any notes may include a legend entitled “MiFID II Product Governance” and/or “UK MiFIR Product Governance”, as applicable, which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the notes and which channels for distribution of the notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the notes (a “distributor”) should take into consideration the target market assessment. However, a distributor subject to MiFID II and/or the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the “UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules”), as applicable, is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the notes (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels. A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the MiFID Product Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593, as amended (the “MiFID Product Governance Rules”), and/or the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules, as applicable, any agent subscribing for any notes is a manufacturer in respect of such notes, but otherwise neither the agents nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the MiFID Product Governance Rules and/or the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules, as applicable. We make no representation or warranty as to any manufacturer’s or distributor’s compliance with the MiFID Product Governance Rules and/or the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules, as applicable. We make no representation or warranty as to any manufacturer’s or distributor’s compliance with the MiFID Product Governance Rules or the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules, as applicable.
