Distribution Solutions Group Announces Timing for First Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Results

Key Terms

take-private proposal financial

A take-private proposal is an offer by an investor or group to buy all outstanding shares of a publicly traded company and remove it from the stock market, converting it into a privately held business. For investors this matters because it usually includes a cash or share offer for their holdings and can abruptly end public trading, often causing a sudden change in share value, liquidity, and control — like an owner offering to buy out all tenants and close the building to the public.

non-binding proposal financial

A non-binding proposal is an offer or plan presented by one party that outlines terms they would like to pursue but does not create a legally enforceable obligation. Think of it like a detailed handshake or a draft invitation to negotiate: it signals intent and frames possible outcomes, but either side can walk away or change terms without legal penalty. Investors watch these because they can move a stock’s price by suggesting a possible deal, yet they carry higher uncertainty than formal agreements.

maintenance, repair & operations technical

Maintenance, repair & operations (MRO) are the routine supplies, parts and services companies use to keep facilities, equipment and machinery running—think filters, tools, cleaning products, spare parts and contractor services. Investors care because MRO is a recurring cost that affects operating expenses, productivity and downtime risk; efficient MRO management can reduce unexpected outages and stabilize margins, while poor MRO control can lead to higher costs and lost revenue.

original equipment manufacturer technical

An original equipment manufacturer (OEM) is a company that designs and builds parts or complete products that other firms sell under their own brand name, like a bakery making cakes that coffee shops rebrand and sell. Investors care because OEMs often win steady, long-term contracts, predictable production volumes and thin but scalable profit margins, so changes in their order book or supply chain can signal future revenue and risk for both the OEM and the brands that rely on it.

FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Distribution Solutions Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: DSGR) (“DSG” or the “Company"), a premier, multi-platform distribution company, today announced that it will release its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, on Thursday, April 30, 2026, pre-market.

On March 14, 2026, the Company received an unsolicited preliminary, non-binding proposal from LKCM Headwater Investments, LLC, together with its affiliates and related parties which includes LKCM (the “LKCM Group”), to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock not currently owned by LKCM Group for $29.50 per share in cash (the “Take-Private Proposal”). As of the date of such filing, LKCM Group, together with its affiliates, beneficially owned approximately 78.7% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock.

Consistent with its practice, the Company does not comment on market rumors or speculation, including those regarding potential strategic alternatives.
