McDonald's Corp. Renminbi 200 Million Senior Unsecured Notes Rated 'A'; 'A' Corporate Credit Rating Affirmed Oct 10

Standard & Poors, October 2010

Abstract
Global quick-service restaurant McDonald's issued Chinese renminbi (RMB) 200 million of senior unsecured notes due 2013. The size of the note issuance does not have a material affect on the company's credit protection measures. The issuance, in our view, demonstrates the company's strong access to the global debt capital markets. We are assigning an 'A' issue-level rating to the senior unsecured notes. We are also affirming all ratings, including our 'A' corporate credit rating, as performance and credit metrics remain in line with our expectations. The outlook is stable reflects our expectation that McDonald's will continue to generate solid earnings growth and that credit metrics will largely be unchanged from current and recent levels.
