On March 7, 2022, Del Taco Restaurants, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Del Taco” or the “Company”) held a special meeting of its stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to vote on the proposals described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 28, 2022. As disclosed in the Proxy Statement, as of the close of business on January 27, 2022, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were 36,442,232 shares of Del Taco common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. A total of 28,568,100 shares of Del Taco common stock, representing approximately 78.39% of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote and constituting a quorum, were represented in person or by valid proxies at the Special Meeting. The final voting results for each of the proposals submitted to a vote of stockholders at the Special Meeting are as follows:
Proposal 1: Del Taco’s stockholders approved the proposal to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 5, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), between the Company and 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. Proposal 1 was approved by the votes set forth in the table below:

| | | | | | |
| For | | Against | | Abstained | | Broker Non-Votes |

Each proposal is described in detail in the definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on January 28, 2022. The merger contemplated by the merger agreement is expected to close on March 8, 2022, subject to customary closing conditions.
