DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File Number 333-205467) filed by Del Taco Restaurants, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 2, 2015, as amended (the “Registration Statement”), which registered for resale up to 36,443,163 shares (the “Securities”) of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), and removes from registration all Securities previously registered under the Registration Statement that have not been sold or otherwise issued as of the date of this Amendment.

On December 5, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger among Jack in the Box Inc. (“Parent”), pursuant to which Epic Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), which is a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, would merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. The Merger became effective on March 8, 2022, upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated any and all offerings of the Company’s securities pursuant to its existing registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in Item 17(a)(3) of the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the Securities registered under the Registration Statement for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby amends the Registration Statement to remove from registration any and all of the Securities of the Company registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the date of this Amendment, and hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

In addition, on March 8, 2022, the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) filed with the SEC a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration on Form 25 to delist the Common Stock from Nasdaq and to deregister the Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. The Company intends to file with the SEC a Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration on Form 15 requesting the termination of registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
