Election of New Director

On September 30, 2022, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of McDonald's Corporation (the "Company") increased the size of the Board to a total of 15 Directors and elected Kareem Daniel as a Director, both effective October 1, 2022. The Board has not elected Mr. Daniel to any Board Committee at this time.

The Board determined that Mr. Daniel is independent as defined by the New York Stock Exchange listing standards. Mr. Daniel does not have any material relationships with the Company, and there are no transactions between him and the Company that would be required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. There is also no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Daniel and the Company pursuant to which he was selected as a Director. Mr. Daniel will receive compensation generally consistent with that received by non-employee Directors, as described in the Company's most recent Proxy Statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, as may be modified by the Board for all non-executive Directors, from time to time.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company on October 3, 2022 announcing the above actions is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
