This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 5”) amends the Items set forth below of the statement on Schedule 13D relating to the Common Stock (“Common Stock”) and warrants to purchase Common Stock (“Warrants”) 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, Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the Commission on July 10, 2015 and Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the Commission on July 7, 2016. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 5 but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the initial Schedule 13D.

 

This Amendment No. 5 is being made to describe a Tender Support Agreement entered into by the Reporting Persons. Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Amendment No. 5 does not modify any of the information previously reported by the Reporting Persons in the Schedule 13D, as amended to date. 

 
Item 5.

INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

 

(a) and (b)

The information set forth above on the cover pages of the Amendment No. 5 is incorporated herein by reference.

The amount reported as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons consists of 2,316,459 shares of Common Stock and 1,769,652 Warrants that are immediately exercisable and that are held of record by Levy Family Partners, LLC. LFP Management, LLC is the manager of Levy Family Partners, LLC and Ari Levy and Lawrence Levy are two of four managers of LFP Management, LLC. The beneficial ownership of each of Ari Levy and Lawrence Levy consists of Common Stock and Warrants owned of record by Levy Family Partners, LLC.

The percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 37,976,206 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 8, 2016, as reported in the Issuer’s Schedule TO filed with the Commission on July 11, 2016, as adjusted to reflect the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Warrants held by the Reporting Persons (assuming that the tender of Warrants pursuant to the Offer described in Item 6 below is not accepted). The amount reported as beneficially owned by each of Ari Levy and Lawrence Levy does not include 10,616 shares of Restricted Common Stock that vest on May 26, 2017 that each of them received as director compensation on May 26, 2016.

 

If the tender of Warrants by the Reporting Persons pursuant to the Offer described in Item 6 is accepted, then Levy Family Partners, LLC, and as a result indirectly Ari Levy and Lawrence Levy, will beneficially own 2,501,329 shares of Common Stock and 1,104,652 Warrants, representing 9.2% of the beneficial ownership of outstanding Common Stock (assuming no other Warrants are tendered in the Offer).

 

The percentage holdings shown do not reflect the shares of Common Stock that would be issued upon exercise of Warrants of the Issuer held by stockholders other than the Reporting Persons.

 

(c) Not applicable.

 
(d) Not applicable.
 
(e) Not applicable.

 

Item 6.

 

CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

   

On July 11, 2016, the Issuer commenced an offer (the “Offer”) to all holders of the Company’s outstanding Warrants to receive 0.2780 shares of Common Stock in exchange for every Warrant tendered by the holders thereof (approximately one share of Common Stock for every 3.6 Warrants tendered), up to a maximum of 6,750,000 Warrants, subject to proration, as described in the Company’s Schedule TO. The Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on Friday, August 5, 2016, or such later date to which the Company may extend the Offer. The terms and conditions of the Offer are described in the Offer to Exchange Letter and the related Letter of Transmittal, each of which were filed as exhibits to the Schedule TO.

 

In connection with the Offer, on July 11, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Tender Support Agreement”) with Levy Family Partners, LLC and certain other Warrant holders pursuant to which Levy Family Partners, LLC agreed to tender pursuant to the Offer not less than 665,000 Warrants owned by Levy Family Partners, LLC in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offer. The Tender Support Agreement terminates on the earliest to occur of: (i) the termination of the Offer, without any Warrants being accepted for exchange thereunder, (ii) the date of any modification, waiver, change or amendment of the Offer after the date of the Offer Letter that results in a (A) decrease in the number of Shares issuable upon exchange of each Warrant, or (B) change in the form of consideration to be paid in the Offer, or (iii) October 31, 2016 if, on or prior to such date, the Offer has not been consummated. The foregoing description of the Tender Support Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Tender Support Agreement which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to this Amendment No. 5.
