Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e) Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
Awards to Certain Executive Officers under the Target Incentive Plan (“TIP”) for 2017
On February 9, 2017, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of McDonald's Corporation (the “Company”) approved the payout structure for the 2017 TIP awards for executives.

The target 2017 TIP awards for the Company’s “named executive officers” for whom disclosure was required in the Company’s most recent proxy statement (and who remain employed with the Company) are as shown in the table below.

Name
Position
Target TIP Award as a Percentage of Base Salary
Stephen Easterbrook
President and Chief Executive Officer
175%
Kevin Ozan
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
100%
Douglas Goare
President, International Lead Markets and Chief Restaurant Officer
90%
Christopher Kempczinski
President, McDonald's USA
90%

TIP payouts will be determined primarily by growth in the Company’s operating income in 2017 over its 2016 operating income.  The officers listed above are not eligible to receive a TIP payout if the Company (and/or an applicable business segment) does not achieve growth in operating income in 2017.  Operating income is measured on a consolidated or business segment level basis, as applicable to each individual’s award. For Messrs. Easterbrook and Ozan the payout will be based on consolidated performance.  For Mr. Goare, the payout will be based on a combination of the performance of the International Lead Markets segment and consolidated performance; and for Mr. Kempczinski, the payout will be based upon a combination of the performance of McDonald’s USA and consolidated performance.

In addition to operating income performance, 2017 TIP payouts to the officers listed above may also be impacted, positively or negatively, by the Company’s performance against certain pre-established modifiers that are closely linked to the Company’s business initiatives.

The maximum TIP award that any of the above individuals can earn in 2017 is 200% of the target award.

For compensation purposes, operating income may be adjusted from that reported in our financial statements. Specifically, operating income is expressed in constant currencies to more accurately reflect underlying business trends. In addition, certain income and/or expense items that are not indicative of ongoing results may be excluded at the discretion of the Committee.
