This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 4”) amends or amends and restates, where indicated, the statement on Schedule 13D relating to the Common Stock (“Common Stock”) of Del Taco Restaurants, Inc. (the “Issuer”) filed by the Reporting Persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on November 22, 2013, as amended by the Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the Commission on November 25, 2013 and the Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the Commission on March 18, 2015 and Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D on July 10, 2015. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 4 but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the initial Schedule 13D.

 

This Amendment No. 4 is being made to reflect the distribution of Common Stock known as “Founder Shares” and warrants to purchase Common Stock (the "Warrants") to the members of Levy Acquisition Sponsor, LLC for no consideration. Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Amendment No. 4 does not modify any of the information previously reported by the Reporting Person in the Schedule 13D, as amended to date. 

 

Item 4. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION

 

On June 30, 2016, 1,783,781 shares of Common Stock known as Founder Shares and Warrants to purchase 5,049,623 shares of Common Stock were released from an escrow account in accordance with the Escrow Agreement among Continental Bank Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Issuer, Levy Acquisition Sponsor, LLC and certain other holders of Founder Shares. Following the release of the Founder Shares and Warrants held in the escrow account, on July 6, 2016, Levy Acquisition Sponsor, LLC distributed to its members all of the Common Stock and Warrants held by Levy Acquisition Sponsor, LLC, pro rata, in accordance with the membership interests of the members for no consideration. In the pro rata distribution, Levy Family Partners, LLC, the manager and a member of Levy Acquisition Sponsor, LLC, received 692,459 shares of Common Stock and 1,769,652 Warrants.
