Item 5.02.  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensation Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(b)          On July 28, 2016, Peter J. Bensen, Chief Administrative Officer, notified McDonald's Corporation (the “Company”) that he will retire from the Company, effective September 2, 2016. 
(e)          In connection with Mr. Bensen’s retirement, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company agreed to waive certain notice and service requirements pursuant to the terms of his 2016 restricted stock unit (“RSU”) and stock option awards.  These waivers will permit Mr. Bensen, upon retirement, to vest in all outstanding RSU awards, subject to the original performance-based vesting conditions, and to continue to vest in his outstanding stock options pursuant to the original vesting schedule, which shall remain outstanding until the original expiration date.  In addition, the Committee provided Mr. Bensen service credit through March 1, 2017 in order to enable him to vest in full in his 2016 stock option award (as opposed to 75%).  In exchange, Mr. Bensen has agreed to an extension of his non-compete period following his retirement, from the Company’s customary eighteen month period to twenty-four months.
