Additional Information About the Transaction and Where to Find It

 

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a preliminary proxy statement of the Company in connection with the Merger and will mail a definitive proxy statement and other relevant documents to its stockholders. The Company’s stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read the preliminary proxy statement, and amendments thereto, and definitive proxy statement in connection with the Company’s solicitation of proxies for its stockholders’ meeting to be held to approve the Merger because the proxy statement contains important information about Del Taco, the Company and the Merger. The definitive proxy statement will be mailed to stockholders of the Company as of a record date to be established for voting on the Merger. Stockholders will also be able to obtain copies of the proxy statement, without charge, at the SEC’s internet site at http://www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: Levy Acquisition Corp., 444 North Michigan Avenue, Suite 3500, Chicago IL 60611, Attn: Sophia Stratton.

 

Participants in Solicitation

 

The Company and its directors and officers may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies to the Company’s stockholders with respect to the transaction. A list of the names of those directors and officers and a description of their interests in the Company is contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, which was filed with the SEC, and is also contained in the proxy statement for the Merger.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K may include “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “estimate”, “plan”, “outlook”, and “project” and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. Such forward looking statements with respect to the timing of the proposed Merger, as well as the expected performance, strategies, prospects and other aspects of the businesses of the parties to the Merger Agreement and the combined company after completion of the proposed Merger, are based on current expectations that are subject to risks and uncertainties.

 

 
 

 

A number of factors could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those indicated by such forward looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company, Merger Sub, Del Taco or others following announcement of the Merger Agreement and transactions contemplated therein; (3) the inability to complete the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of the Company or other conditions to closing in the Merger Agreement; (4) the risk that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the transactions described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 12, 2015; (5) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Merger, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with suppliers and obtain adequate supply of products and retain its key employees; (6) costs related to the proposed Merger; (7) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (8) the possibility that Del Taco, Merger Sub and the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and (9) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the proxy statement filed by the Company with the SEC, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and other filings with the SEC by the Company.

 

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and the Company, Merger Sub and Del Taco undertake no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
