Modification of Prospectus Supplement, dated July 27, 2018

 

The Prospectus Supplement, dated July 27, 2018, is modified as follows:

 

(1)                              U.S. Tax Considerations:  The text under “U.S. Tax Considerations” summarizes certain U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to a beneficial owner of a note.  On December 13, 2018, the IRS issued proposed regulations that would eliminate the obligation to satisfy the requirements described in clause (iii) of paragraph (b) under “Non-U.S. Holders.” The proposed regulations are not yet final, but the preamble specifies that taxpayers are permitted to rely on them pending finalization.

 

(2)                              Marketing Legends:

 

(a)                               The text beginning with the third paragraph after the Table Of Contents on page S-2 through (and including) the paragraph entitled “PRIIPS / IMPORTANT – EEA INVESTORS” shall be replaced by the following two paragraphs:

 

None of this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any related pricing supplement is a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Regulation (as defined below). This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any related pricing supplement have been prepared on the basis that any offer of notes in any Member State of the European Economic Area (the “EEA”) or in the United Kingdom (each, a “Relevant State”) will only be made to a legal entity which is a qualified investor under the Prospectus Regulation (“Qualified Investors”). Accordingly any person making or intending to make an offer in that Relevant State of notes that are the subject of the offering contemplated in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any related pricing supplement may only do so with respect to Qualified Investors. Neither McDonald’s Corporation nor the agents have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of notes other than to Qualified Investors. The expression “Prospectus Regulation” means Regulation (EU) 2017/1129.

 

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA AND UNITED KINGDOM RETAIL INVESTORS — The notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA or in the United Kingdom. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended (“MiFID II”); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, as amended (the “Insurance Distribution Directive”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014, as amended (the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA or in the United Kingdom has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or in the United Kingdom may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

 

(b)                              Insert the following sentence at the end of the paragraph entitled “MiFID II product governance / target market”:

 

McDonald’s Corporation makes no representation or warranty as to any manufacturer’s or distributor’s compliance with the MiFID Product Governance Rules.

 

6


 

(3)                              Plan of Distribution:  The text under “Plan of Distribution” is amended as follows:

 

(a)                               Under the subheading “Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors” – Replace the existing text in its entirety with the following:

 

Prohibition of Sales to EEA and United Kingdom Retail Investors

 

Each agent has represented and agreed, and each further agent appointed under the Distribution Agreement will be required to represent and agree, that it has not offered, sold or otherwise made available and will not offer, sell or otherwise make available, any notes to any retail investor in the EEA or in the United Kingdom. For the purposes of this provision:

 

(a)                               the expression “retail investor” means a person who is one (or more) of the following:

 

(i)                                  a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or

 

(ii)                              a customer within the meaning of the Insurance Distribution Directive, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or

 

(iii)                          not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation; and

 

(b)                              the expression an “offer” includes the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the notes.

 

(b)                              Under the subheading “The United Kingdom” – Replace the lead-in sentence through the colon with the following:

 

In addition to the provisions identified in the foregoing section “Prohibition of Sales to EEA and United Kingdom Retail Investors,” the following provisions shall apply in respect of the United Kingdom:

 

(c)                               Under the subheading “Singapore” – Replace the existing text in its entirety with the following:

 

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus have not been, and will not be, registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore, and the Notes will be offered pursuant to exemptions under the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289) of Singapore, as modified or amended from time to time (the “SFA”). Accordingly, the notes may not be offered or sold, or made the subject of an invitation for subscription or purchase, nor may this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or any other document or material in connection with the offer or sale, or invitation for subscription or purchase of the notes be circulated or distributed, whether directly or indirectly, to any person in Singapore other than (i) to an institutional investor (as defined in Section 4A of the SFA)  pursuant to Section 274 of the SFA, (ii) to a relevant person (as defined in Section 275(2) of the SFA) pursuant to Section 275(1) of the SFA, or any person pursuant to Section 275(1A) of the SFA, and in accordance with the conditions specified in Section 275 of the SFA, or (iii) otherwise pursuant to, and in accordance with the conditions of, any other applicable provision of the SFA.

 

7


 

Where the notes are subscribed or purchased under Section 275 of the SFA by a relevant person that is:

 

(a)                              a corporation (that is not an accredited investor (as defined in Section 4A of the SFA)) the sole business of which is to hold investments and the entire share capital of which is owned by one or more individuals, each of whom is an accredited investor; or

 

(b)                              a trust (where the trustee is not an accredited investor) whose sole purpose is to hold investments and each beneficiary of the trust is an individual who is an accredited investor,

 

securities or securities-based derivatives contracts (each term as defined in Section 2(1) of the SFA) of that corporation or the beneficiaries’ rights and interest (howsoever described) in that trust shall not be transferred within six months after that corporation or that trust has acquired the notes pursuant to an offer made under Section 275 of the SFA except:

 

(1)                              to an institutional investor or to a relevant person, or to any person arising from an offer referred to in Section 275(1A) or Section 276(4)(i)(B) of the SFA;

 

(2)                              where no consideration is or will be given for the transfer;

 

(3)                              where the transfer is by operation of law;

 

(4)                              as specified in Section 276(7) of the SFA; or

 

(5)                              as specified in Regulation 37A of the Securities and Futures (Offers of Investments) (Securities and Securities-based Derivatives Contracts) Regulations 2018 of Singapore.

 

The notes shall be prescribed capital markets products (as defined in the Securities and Futures (Capital Markets Products) Regulations 2018 of Singapore) and Excluded Investment Products (as defined in MAS Notice SFA 04-N12: Notice on the Sale of Investment Products and MAS Notice FAA-N16: Notice on Recommendations on Investment Products).
