“The agreement remains subject to certain conditions. Including regulatory approval, with closing expected to occur in the coming weeks,” McDonald’s said in a statement. “The sale and purchase agreement provides for employees to be retained for at least two years, on equivalent terms. The buyer has also agreed to fund the salaries of corporate employees who work in 45 regions of the country until closing. As well as fund existing liabilities to suppliers, landlords and utilities.”
The new logo for the unnamed chain features a green background with a red circle and two yellow slashes. The images references a burger and fries.
