McDonald’s has examined options for its real estate before. The current review began before Steve Easterbrook became chief executive in March and involved an evaluation by outside consultants and financial advisers, Mr. White said. Mr. Easterbrook is also on the board.
McDonald’s executives in recent months have said they are studying all financial options to boost shareholder value. Finance Chief Kevin Ozan in July said the company will update investors on its plans in November.
