DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
 
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 33-09267) filed by McDonald’s Corporation (the “Registrant”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 23, 1986 (the “Registration Statement”) to register 4,500,000 shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock for issuance under the McDonald’s Corporation 1975 Stock Ownership Option Plan (the “Plan”).

On February 1, 1988, the Registrant filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement indicating that Common Stock registered under the Plan could be used for the McDonald’s Hamburgers Limited Employee Share Option Scheme.

On February 13, 1989, the Registrant filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement indicating that Common Stock registered under the Plan could be used for the McDonald’s Restaurants of Canada Limited Employee Stock Option Plan.

As of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment, no additional shares of Common Stock registered will be issued under the Plan. In accordance with the Registrant’s undertaking in Part II, Item 21(a)(3) of the Registration Statement, the Registrant hereby amends the Registration Statement to remove from registration all securities registered but remaining unsold, if any, under the Registration Statement and to terminate the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
