Item 5.07

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On November 23, 2015, Del Taco Restaurant Properties III (the “Partnership”) held a Special Meeting of Limited Partners (the “Meeting”). At the close of business on October 6, 2015, the record date for the Meeting, there were a total of 47,323 units stock of the Partnership outstanding. At the Meeting, 31,952 units, or 67.5% of the outstanding units, were present in person or by proxy and, therefore, a quorum was present at the Meeting. The results of the matter submitted to a vote at the Meeting were as follows:

Proposal 1: Proposed sale of all the Properties owned by the Partnership pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of July 24, 2015 with Orion Buying Corp.


For	Against	Abstain
25,900	5,563	489

The General Partner expects that the sale of the Properties will be consummated pursuant to the terms of the Sale Agreement as soon as practicable during the fourth quarter. Following the closing of the sale, the limited partners and the General Partner will receive a final operating distribution through the closing date and the General Partner will then proceed to dissolve and wind-up the Partnership’s affairs and distribute its net assets (net of costs and dissolution expenses) to the Limited Partners and General Partner in accordance with applicable law and the Partnership Agreement, which will result in a separate final liquidating distribution to the limited partners and the General Partner. Promptly after that is completed, as required by the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner will file a certificate of cancellation with the California Secretary of State. The General Partner will also terminate the Partnership’s registration under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a result of terminating registration under the Exchange Act, the Partnership will no longer file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. After the Limited Partners receive their final liquidating distributions, they will no longer have any continuing interest in the Partnership.
