"Over the next 20 years, we will work even harder to consolidate our market leadership in all aspects of our business for the benefit of all our stakeholders," he concluded.

    Arcos Dorados will provide additional disclosure regarding the new MFA in line with the requirements of the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
