Questions & Answers Regarding the Proxy Statement and Proposal

to Sell the Properties Owned by Del Taco Income Properties IV

 

1. Why have you sent me the Proxy Statement and Proxy Form?

You have been sent the Proxy Statement and Proxy Form because you own units of Del Taco Income Properties IV (“Del Taco IV”) and are entitled to vote for or against or abstain from voting on selling the Properties at a Special Meeting to be held on November 23, 2015, at 3:45 pm Pacific Time, at the offices of Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP, located at 11355 W. Olympic Blvd., Los Angeles, California.

 

2. What am I voting on?

You are voting on a proposal to sell all of the properties of Del Taco IV. Please refer to “Sale of All Properties of Del Taco Income Properties IV – The Properties” in the Proxy Statement.

 

3. How does the vote pass?

The vote will pass if owners of a majority in interest of the units vote to approve the proposal.

 

4. What is the recommendation of the General Partner?

The General Partner is neutral on the proposed Property Sale and is not making a voting recommendation.

 

5. What does it mean if I get more than one Proxy Statement and Proxy Form?

It means that you own units of a Partnership under different registrations, or you may own more than one Partnership. You may own units:

 

    in a retirement account, such as an IRA,
    in your name only, or jointly with another person, such as your spouse,
    in a Living Trust or a Family Trust, or
    in more than one Partnership.

Please be sure to sign and return all Proxy Forms you receive to make sure that all your units are voted.

You can vote by signing and dating your Proxy Form, selecting your choice (FOR, AGAINST, or ABSTAIN) and mailing the Proxy Form to Preferred Partnership Services, Inc. (the company that is counting the votes) in the enclosed Business Reply envelope.

If you vote to ABSTAIN, it will have the same effect as a vote AGAINST the proposal.

You can also fax, or scan and e-mail your Proxy Form to them. The fax number and e-mail address are all at the bottom of this page.

If you wish, you can vote by attending the Special Meeting in person.

If you return a signed Proxy Form and do not select a choice, it will have the same effect as a vote AGAINST the proposal.

If you do not return a signed Proxy Form, you are choosing to not vote. Not voting is not the same as voting FOR the proposal. Not voting will have the same effect as a vote AGAINST the proposal.

Please refer to “The Special Meeting – Quorum; Vote Required for Approval” in the Proxy Statement.

 

7. How long do I have to send in my vote?
