Offering Circular dated March 29, 2017

McDonald's Corporation
Incorporated in the State of Delaware, United States of America
EUR500,000,000
Floating Rate Notes due 2019

McDonald's Corporation (the "Issuer") is offering EUR500,000,000 Floating Rate Notes (the "Notes") under its
U.S.$10,000,000,000 Program for the Issuance of Global Medium-Term Notes (the "Program"). Interest on the Notes will be
determined as set forth below under the section titled "The Offering". The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes on April 5, July 5,
October 5 and January 5 of each year, beginning July 5, 2017. The Notes will mature on April 5, 2019.

This offering circular (the "Offering Circular") is supplemental to, forms part of, supersedes and must be read and
construed in conjunction with, the base prospectus dated April 8, 2016 (attached as Appendix A), as supplemented by the first
supplement dated April 26, 2016 (attached as Appendix B) and the second supplement dated June 7, 2016 (attached as Appendix
C) (the "Base Prospectus"), and relates to the Notes offered hereby. The Base Prospectus has been issued by the Issuer in respect
of its Program. Terms given a defined meaning in the Base Prospectus shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the same
meaning when used in this Offering Circular. To the extent that there is any inconsistency between (a) any statement in this
Offering Circular or any statement incorporated by reference into this Offering Circular and (b) any other statement in or
incorporated by reference into the Base Prospectus, the statements in this Offering Circular will prevail. This Offering Circular is
not a prospectus for the purposes of the European Union's Directive 2003/71/EC (and any amendments thereto) as implemented
in member states of the European Economic Area (the "EU Prospectus Directive"). This Offering Circular constitutes a
prospectus for purposes of Part IV of the Luxembourg law on prospectus for securities dated July 10, 2005, as amended (the
"Luxembourg Prospectus Act").

The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Issuer, ranking equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated
indebtedness for borrowed money of the Issuer, as further described in Condition 3 in the section titled "Terms and Conditions of
the Notes" set out in the Base Prospectus.

There is currently no public market for the Notes. The Issuer has applied to have the Notes admitted to listing on the
Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to be admitted to trading on the Euro MTF market of the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange (the "Euro MTF Market"), which is not a regulated market within the meaning of Article 1(13) of Directive
2004/39/EC.

The Notes will be issued only in denominations of EUR100,000.

Investing in the Notes involves risks. See the sections titled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 5 of the Base
Prospectus and page 3 of the Issuer's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for a discussion of certain of the risks you should consider before
investing in the Notes.

The Notes will be represented upon issue by a global Note in registered form (a "Global Registered Note"). The
Global Registered Note will be registered in the name of a nominee for a common depositary (a "Common Depositary") for
Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. ("Euroclear") and/or Clearstream Banking S.A. ("Clearstream, Luxembourg") on or around April
5, 2017. Under certain limited circumstances, interests in a Global Registered Note may be exchanged for definitive Notes in
registered form, which will be serially numbered ("Definitive Notes").

The Issuer currently has a credit rating for senior unsecured notes and debentures of Baa1 from Moody's Investors
Service, Inc. and BBB+ from Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

Goldman Sachs International (the "Manager") has entered into a Terms Agreement, dated March 29, 2017 (the
"Terms Agreement") relating to the purchase of the Notes from the Issuer.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Terms Agreement, the Manager has agreed to purchase the Notes from
the Issuer and the Issuer has agreed to sell the Notes to the Manager.

The Terms Agreement provides that the obligation of the Manager to purchase the Notes is subject to certain
conditions. The Manager must purchase all of the Notes if it purchases any of the Notes.

The Issuer has agreed to pay the Manager, as compensation for its services in connection with the purchase of the
Notes and the managing of the offering thereof, a combined management and underwriting commission equal to 0.150%
of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes.

Subject to the restrictions on offers and sales of the Notes set forth in the Base Prospectus, the Manager proposes
to offer the Notes at the issue price set forth in this Offering Circular. After the Notes are released for sale, the offering
price and other selling terms may from time to time be varied by the Manager.

The Manager has acknowledged that no representation is made by the Issuer or the Manager that any action has
been or will be taken in any jurisdiction by the Issuer or the Manager that would permit a public offering of the Notes, or
possession or distribution of this Offering Circular in any country or jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required.
The Manager has agreed to comply to the best of its knowledge and belief in all material respects with all applicable
securities laws and regulations in each jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers, sells or delivers Notes or has in its
possession or distributes this Offering Circular, in all cases at its own expense unless agreed otherwise.

The Notes are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. Application has been made to have
the Notes admitted to trading on the Euro MTF Market and listed on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
The Manager may make a market in the Notes after completion of the offering, but will not be obligated to do so and may
discontinue any market-making activities at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the
trading market for the Notes or that an active trading market for the Notes will develop. If an active trading market for the
Notes does not develop, the market price and liquidity of the Notes may be adversely affected.
