(c) On April 16, 2012, McDonald's Corporation (the “Company”) announced that Timothy J. Fenton was elected Chief Operating Officer of the Company, effective July 1, 2012. Previously, Mr. Fenton, 54, served as President of McDonald’s Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa, since January 2005. The press release announcing Mr. Fenton’s election is furnished as Exhibit 99 to this Form 8-K.
In connection with Mr. Fenton’s promotion, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved certain changes to his compensation, each effective July 1, 2012. Mr. Fenton’s base salary will be increased to $750,000, an increase of 20%. In addition, his new target award under our annual bonus program, the 2012 Target Incentive Plan or “TIP,” will be increased to 125% of his base salary. The performance measures used to calculate 2012 TIP awards are described on the Company’s Form 8-K filed on January 31, 2012. Finally, Mr. Fenton’s target award under the Company’s
Cash Performance Unit Plan, or “CPUP,” will be increased to $3,800,000. CPUP operates on a three-year cycle with a cumulative payout at the end of the cycle. The performance measures used to calculate 2010-2012 CPUP payouts are described on the Company’s Form 8-K filed on February 16, 2010. Mr. Fenton’s 2012 TIP and 2010-2012 CPUP awards will both be prorated based upon the number of days he will have held his current and new positions, respectively, during the applicable performance cycles.
