Explanation of Responses:

1. Options become exercisable in 25% increments on the first, second, third and fourth anniversary dates of the grant.

2. Each restricted stock unit ("RSU") represents a right to acquire one share of McDonald's Corporation (the "Company") common stock.

3. As a result of the Company's performance against the pre-approved financial targets as certified on February 12, 2024 for the period of January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023, the reporting person will vest in 187.5% of the original target amount of 10,365 performance-based RSUs, plus shares acquired through dividend reinvestment, subject to completion of the service period on February 16, 2024. Accordingly, the reported transaction reflects the acquisition of an additional 10,410 RSUs earned above the target grant.
