Addressing Potential Franchisee Questions
Question: Would a publicly traded McOpCo be an aggressive competitor to franchisees,
given its need to grow its business for the benefit of its new shareholders?
Answer: No, quite the opposite. We believe a more likely scenario is the following:
McOpCo, no longer supported by corporate subsidies, will price more optimally
Refranchising program will remove McOpCo as a competitor in many key markets
McOpCo's most attractive growth plan is to focus on emerging markets where the franchise
base is still in its infancy, such as China and Russia
Question: Under your Revised Proposal, is there any risk that McDonald's real estate will
be sold or that franchisees will experience unexpected rent hikes?
Answer: No. We have never endorsed the sale of real estate or the creation of a REIT.
We don't believe it's the right operational move
We are confident management is not inclined to sell the real estate
