SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. On January 30, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of an additional 28% ownership stake in the strategic partnership that operates and manages McDonald’s business in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau. After acquiring the additional ownership from the global investment firm Carlyle for $1.8 billion, McDonald’s will remain a minority partner while increasing its ownership stake from 20% to 48%. The CITIC Consortium, mainly through its equity affiliate CITIC Capital, will maintain its controlling ownership stake of 52%. McDonald’s will continue to account for its investment under the equity method and will not consolidate the financial statements of the strategic partnership into its results. There were no other subsequent events that required recognition or disclosure.
