This Amendment No. 8 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 25, 2013, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, filed with the SEC on October 10, 2013, Amendment No. 2 thereto, filed with the SEC on December 16, 2013, Amendment No. 3 thereto, filed with the SEC on January 31, 2014, Amendment No. 4 thereto, filed with the SEC on March 24, 2014, Amendment No. 5 thereto, filed with the SEC on April 2, 2014, Amendment No. 6 thereto, filed with the SEC on June 13, 2017, and Amendment No. 7 thereto, filed with the SEC on April 4, 2018, in each case by (i) Red Mountain Capital Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“RMCP LLC”), (ii) Red Mountain Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“RMP”), (iii) RMCP GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“RMCP GP”), (iv) Red Mountain Capital Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“RMCM”), and (v) Willem Mesdag, a natural person and citizen of the United States of America, with respect to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Destination XL Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Destination XL”). The filing of any amendment to this Schedule 13D (including the filing of this Amendment No. 8) shall not be construed to be an admission by the Reporting Persons (as defined below) that a material change has occurred in the facts set forth in this Schedule 13D or that such amendment is required under Rule 13d-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

RMCP LLC, RMP, and RMCP GP are sometimes collectively referred to herein as “Red Mountain.” Red Mountain, RMCM and Mr. Mesdag are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons.”

 

ITEM 3.

SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

Item 3 of this Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the following information:

On August 2, 2021, the Reporting Persons acquired 6,237 shares of Common Stock issued in connection with Mr. Mesdag’s service on the board of directors of Destination XL (the “Board”).

 

ITEM 4.

PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the following information:

On September 9, 2021, RMP entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with D.A. Davidson & Co. (the “Underwriter Representative”) and Destination XL. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, RMP agreed to sell 5,733,076 shares of Common Stock to the Underwriter at a price of $5.83465 per share (inclusive of the underwriting discount). Accordingly, the aggregate purchase price for the shares of Common Stock being sold by RMP pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement is approximately $33,450,492 (inclusive of the underwriting discount).

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of Destination XL and also provides for customary indemnification by Destination XL and RMP against certain liabilities and customary contribution provisions in respect of those liabilities.

The sale of Common Stock by RMP is being made pursuant to a preliminary prospectus supplement and final prospectus supplement related to Destination XL’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-256990) that became effective on June 21, 2021, each of which has been filed with the SEC. The offering is being made only by means of the prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

The sale of the Common Stock pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement closed on September 14, 2021.

In connection with the offering, on September 9, 2021, RMP, RMCP LLC and Mr. Mesdag, in his capacity as a director of Destination XL, entered into lock-up agreements (the “Lock-Up Agreements”) with the Underwriter Representative that, subject to certain exceptions, restricts the sale of the shares of Common Stock and certain other securities by RMP and RMCP LLC for a 90 day period following the date of the prospectus supplement.

On September 15, 2021, RMP made a distribution in-kind for no consideration of its remaining shares of Common Stock to its equity holders, including RMCP, RMCM and entities beneficially owned by Mr. Mesdag.

The foregoing references to and description of the Underwriting Agreement and Lock-Up Agreements do not purport to be complete and are subject, and are qualified in their entirety by reference, to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement and form of Lock-Up Agreement, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 4.

 

ITEM 5.

INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

Items 5(a), 5(b) 5(c) and 5(e) of this Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

  (a)-(b)

As a result of transactions described in Item 4 above, neither RMP nor RMCP GP beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock.

 

(1)

All calculations of percentage ownership in this Schedule 13D are based on 63,549,426 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 31, 2021 as reported on Form 10-Q which was filed by Destination XL Group, Inc. with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 31, 2021; provided that, in the case of Mr. Mesdag, such percentage ownership also includes shares of Common Stock receivable upon exercise of the Director Options and shares of Common Stock receivable upon settlement of the Deferred Stock.


SCHEDULE 13D/A

 

CUSIP No. 25065K104    PAGE 8 OF 11 PAGES

 

RMCP LLC beneficially owns directly 1,763,373 shares of Common Stock, which represent approximately 2.8% of the outstanding Common Stock. RMCP LLC has the sole power to vote or direct the vote, and the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition, of all such 1,763,373 shares of Common Stock.

RMCM beneficially owns directly 204,618 shares of Common Stock, which represent approximately 0.3% of the outstanding Common Stock. RMCM has the sole power to vote or direct the vote, and the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition, of all such 204,618 shares of Common Stock. Because RMCM may be deemed to control RMCP LLC, RMCM may be deemed to beneficially own, and to have the power to vote or direct the vote of, or dispose or direct the disposition of, all of the Common Stock beneficially owned by RMCP LLC. Therefore, RMCM may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 1,967,991 shares of Common Stock, which represent approximately 3.1% of the outstanding Common Stock.

Mr. Mesdag beneficially owns directly 562,561 shares of Common Stock, which represent approximately 0.9% of the outstanding Common Stock. Mr. Mesdag has the sole power to vote or direct the vote, and the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition, of all such 204,618 shares of Common Stock. Because Mr. Mesdag may be deemed to control RMCP LLC, and RMCM, Mr. Mesdag may be deemed to beneficially own, and to have the power to vote or direct the vote of, or dispose or direct the disposition of, all of the Common Stock beneficially owned by RMCP LLC, and RMCM. In addition, Mr. Mesdag may be deemed to own the 15,000 shares of Common Stock receivable upon exercise of the Director Options, all of which are currently exercisable, as well as the 435,568 shares of Common Stock receivable upon settlement of the Deferred Stock as a result of a separation of service from the Board. As a result, Mr. Mesdag may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 2,981,120 shares of Common Stock, which represent approximately 4.7% of the outstanding Common Stock.

Each of RMCP LLC, RMP and RMCP GP affirms membership in a group with each other but disclaims membership in a group with RMCM or Mr. Mesdag. Each of RMCM and Mr. Mesdag disclaims membership in a group with any person.

The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of any of the shares of Common Stock that such Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own. Without limiting the foregoing sentence, each of RMCM and Mr. Mesdag disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by RMP or RMCP LLC in this Schedule 13D, and RMCM disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock reported in this Schedule 13D. In addition, the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any partner, member, director, officer or affiliate of any Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of any of the shares of Common Stock that such partner, member, director, officer or affiliate may be deemed to beneficially own. Without limiting the foregoing sentence, Mr. Teets disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock reported in this Schedule 13D.

(c) The information set forth in Item 4 above is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5(c).

(e) As of September 15, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Common Stock.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned refers to the proposed Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among Destination XL Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Red Mountain Partners, L.P., (the “Selling Stockholder”), and the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”). As an inducement to the Underwriters to execute the Underwriting Agreement in connection with the proposed public offering of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), the undersigned hereby agrees that from the date hereof and until 90 days after the date of the final prospectus used to sell the Common Stock (the “Public Offering Date”) pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (such 90-day period being referred to herein as the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not (and will cause any spouse or immediate family member of the spouse or the undersigned living in the undersigned’s household, any partnership, corporation or other entity within the undersigned’s control, and any trustee of any trust that holds Common Stock or other securities of the Company for the benefit of the undersigned or such spouse or family member not to) offer, sell, contract to sell (including any short sale), pledge, hypothecate, establish an open “put equivalent position” within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(h) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, purchase any option or contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, or otherwise encumber, dispose of or transfer, or grant any rights with respect to, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of Common Stock, enter into a transaction which would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such aforementioned transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, without, in each case, the prior written consent of D.A. Davidson & Co. (“D.A. Davidson”), which consent may be withheld in D.A. Davidson’s sole discretion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of Common Stock without the prior written consent of D.A. Davidson:

 

  (i)

provided that (a) such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (b) except with the prior written consent of D.A. Davidson, each resulting transferee of the Company’s securities executes and delivers to D.A. Davidson an agreement satisfactory to D.A. Davidson certifying that such transferee is bound by the terms of this Agreement, and (c) in the case of clause (a) below, no filing by any party under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be made voluntarily in connection with such transfer during the Lock-Up Period:

 

  a.

as a bona fide gift or gifts;

 

  b.

to any trust or other entity for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned;

 

  c.

if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity and (1) transfers to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity that is a direct or indirect affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the undersigned or (2) distributes shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock to limited partners, limited liability company members or stockholders of the undersigned, or to any investment fund or other entity that controls or manages the undersigned; or

 

  d.

by operation of law (including pursuant to an order of a court or regulatory agency) or as required pursuant to a divorce settlement;


  (ii)

via transfer by testate succession or intestate succession;

 

  (iii)

if the undersigned is an employee of the Company and transfers to the Company upon death, disability or termination of employment of such employee;

 

  (iv)

the transfer or withholding of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into shares of Common Stock to the Company upon a vesting event of the Company’s securities or upon the exercise of options to purchase the Company’s securities, in each case on a “cashless” or “net exercise” basis or to cover tax obligations of the undersigned in connection with such vesting or exercise; or

 

  (v)

the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, provided that such plan (a) does not provide for the transfer of Common Stock during the Lock-Up Period and (b) no filing or public announcement under the Exchange Act or otherwise is required or voluntarily made during the Lock-Up Period by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company in connection with the establishment of such plan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the written consent of D.A. Davidson shall not be required for a transfer or distribution of shares of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholder to its limited partners (other than Red Mountain Capital Partners LLC and its affiliates) and such limited partners shall not be required to be bound by the terms of this Lock-up Agreement.
