Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(e) Grant of awards to certain named executive officers under the Target Incentive Plan for 2014.
On January 28, 2014, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of McDonald’s Corporation (the “Company”) approved the payout structure for the 2014 Target Incentive Plan (“TIP”) awards for executives.
The target 2014 TIP awards for the Company’s “named executive officers” for whom disclosure was required in the Company’s most recent proxy statement are as shown in the table below.
Name | Position | Target TIP Award as a Percentage of Base Salary | |||||
Donald Thompson | President and Chief Executive Officer | 160 | % | ||||
Timothy J. Fenton | Chief Operating Officer | 125 | % | ||||
Peter J. Bensen | Chief Financial Officer | 100 | % | ||||
Douglas Goare | President of McDonald's Europe | 85 | % | ||||
Gloria Santona | Corporate Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary | 85 | % | ||||
TIP payouts are determined by a combination of a team performance factor and an individual performance factor.
The team performance factor will be determined primarily by growth in operating income over the Company’s 2013 operating income, measured in constant currencies (i.e., excluding the effects of foreign currency translation). The named executive officers listed above are generally not eligible to receive a TIP payout if the Company does not achieve growth in operating income in 2014. Operating income is measured on a consolidated or geographic business unit level, as applicable to each named executive officer’s award. For Messrs. Thompson, Fenton and Bensen and Ms. Santona the team performance factor measures corporate performance. For Mr. Goare, the team performance factor will be based on a combination of the performance of Europe and corporate performance.
Individual performance will be measured against various qualitative performance factors, including setting and achieving goals that are in line with the Company’s strategic focus.
The maximum TIP award that any of the named executive officers can earn in 2014 is 250% of the target award.
