Jeanne P. Jackson Named to McDonald's Board of Directors

Oak Brook, IL -- Jack M. Greenberg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
McDonald's Corporation, today announced that McDonald's Board of Directors
has elected Jeanne P. Jackson, President and CEO of Banana Republic, a Gap,
Inc. brand, to McDonald's Board. Ms. Jackson is also CEO of Gap, Inc.
Direct, managing E-Commerce businesses for all three Gap brands, as well as
the Banana Republic Catalog.

Commenting on Ms. Jackson's election, Greenberg said, "Jeanne Jackson has a
distinguished, dynamic career in retailing and has been responsible for
positioning Banana Republic as a leading lifestyle brand. As we continue
our quest to make McDonald's the world's best quick service restaurant
experience, I believe she will bring valuable insights and analysis to
McDonald's Board. Her addition enriches the diversity of talent and
expertise on the Board."

Jackson has built an organization at Banana Republic that creates, produces
and distributes product across three channels of distribution... retail
stores, catalog, and in mid-October on the Internet. Her influence on
Banana Republic has solidified its identity as a relevant brand that offers
clothing and accessories for the modern versatile lifestyle.
