McDonald’s Japan

What you get

The perk is a booklet of paper meal vouchers, with separate coupons for burgers, sides and drinks. The first booklet takes at least a year to qualify for, and you use it at restaurants in Japan.

Each booklet contains six burger vouchers, six side vouchers and six drink vouchers. Use one of each together for a meal, or tear them out and use them separately. A qualifying holding of 100–299 shares receives one booklet twice a year.

What it takes

You need at least 100 McDonald’s Holdings Company (Japan) shares listed in Tokyo (2702) on 30 June and 31 December each year, after meeting the one-year holding condition.

Minimum holding period: At least one year: 100 or more shares must appear under the same shareholder number on three consecutive June and December registers.

Meal voucher booklets

Holding through a broker

Shares must be registered in your own name.

The company checks its shareholder register and the continuity of the shareholder number. Its public terms do not confirm an overseas pooled-nominee route. Ask your broker whether you appear on that register and receive the vouchers; we have not tested its service.

McDonald’s Japan does not say whether overseas shareholders can claim.
