DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
 
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 33-24958) filed by McDonald’s Corporation (the “Registrant”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 13, 1988 (the “Registration Statement”) to register (i) an indeterminate amount of shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock, and (ii) an indeterminate amount of participants’ interests in the McDonald’s Corporation Profit Sharing Program (the “Profit Sharing Program”); the McDonald’s Profit Sharing Program Equalization Plan (“McEqual”); the McDonald’s 1989 Executive Equalization Plan (“McCAP I”); and the McDonald’s Supplemental Employee Benefit Equalization Plan (“McCAP II”).

       The Profit Sharing Program was subsequently amended and restated, effective January 1, 2002, and renamed the McDonald’s Corporation Profit Sharing and Savings Plan.  As of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment, no securities registered under this Registration Statement are being utilized for issuance under the Profit Sharing Program.

       Effective January 1, 2002, McEqual, McCAP I and McCAP II, each a nonqualified deferred compensation plan, was merged with and into the McDonald’s Corporation Deferred Incentive Plan (amended and restated at the same time to become the McDonald’s Corporation Supplemental Profit Sharing and Savings Plan (the “Supplemental Plan”)), itself a nonqualified deferred compensation plan.  Effective January 1, 2005, the Registrant amended the Supplemental Plan to prohibit any deferral elections with respect to compensation that would be paid to participants (absent such deferral) on or after January 1, 2005.  Accordingly, commencing on January 1, 2005, the Registrant’s securities could not be issued under the Supplemental 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 under the Registration Statement and to terminate the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
