CANTON, Mass., June 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Destination XL Group, Inc. (“DXL”) (NASDAQ: DXLG), the leading integrated commerce retailer of Big + Tall men’s clothing and shoes, today issued the following statement with respect to the revised, unsolicited tender offer to acquire all outstanding shares of DXL for $0.84 per share in cash (the “Revised Offer”) announced by Zodiac Partners II, LLC ("Zodiac") on June 23, 2026:

DXL’s Board remains committed to maximizing value and will continue taking actions that are in the best interest of all DXL stockholders. The DXL Board of Directors is carefully evaluating the Revised Offer with its independent financial and legal advisors in accordance with its fiduciary duties and will make a recommendation to stockholders in due course.

DXL stockholders are advised to take no action at this time pending the Board's review of the Revised Offer.

As previously announced on May 26, 2026, DXL’s Board thoroughly reviewed and unanimously rejected a prior tender offer from Zodiac at $0.82 per share. With the assistance of external financial and legal advisors, the Board determined the highly conditional and opportunistic proposal did not reflect the Company’s underlying value, was seemingly timed to deliberately exploit a period of market dislocation and was not in the best interest of DXL stockholders.

DXL will advise stockholders of the Board's position regarding the Revised Offer in due course by filing an amendment to its previously filed Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), which will also be published on DXL's investor relations website at investor.dxl.com.

Guggenheim Securities, LLC is acting as financial advisor to DXL, Greenberg Traurig, LLP is acting as its legal advisor and Joele Frank, Wilkinson Brimmer Katcher is serving as its strategic communications advisor.
