MCDMcDonald's
Deals between MCD and its directors, executives, owners of more than 5% or their families: a relative on the payroll, a plane the company charters from its CEO, a director's company that buys from it. SEC rules (Item 404) make the company list every such deal over $120,000 in its proxy statement. Only one proxy is stored, so there is nothing to compare yet; the section is below.

Paragraphs are compared by their words, not read by AI: one counts as new when no paragraph last year shares half of its words, or when it names a person or company last year's section did not. A deal reported again with a new amount is not new. Always check the filing. Open the proxy ↗
