Rule 14a-8 regulatory

"proposal submitted for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials"

Rule 14a-8 is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regulation that lets eligible shareholders put proposals on a public company’s proxy ballot for an annual meeting, provided they meet basic ownership and filing requirements. It matters to investors because it creates a formal way to raise governance or strategic issues and force a company-wide vote—like getting an item onto the agenda of a neighborhood association meeting once you’ve lived there long enough—so shareholders can push for change or influence management decisions.

Rule 14a-19 regulatory

"information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act"

Rule 14a-19 is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rule that governs how independent proxy advisory firms produce and distribute voting recommendations for shareholders. It requires these advisers to provide companies with notice of their recommendations and a chance to respond, and to disclose certain conflicts; think of it as a referee ensuring both sides see a game plan before fans cast votes. Investors care because proxy advisers influence voting outcomes and corporate governance, so the rule affects transparency, potential bias, and the reliability of guidance that many investors rely on when voting shares.

record date regulatory

"record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice"

The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.

proxy materials regulatory

"inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials"

Proxy materials are the packet of documents sent to shareholders that explain items to be voted on at a company meeting and include the actual ballot or instructions for casting a vote. Think of them as a voting packet that lays out who’s running the company, major proposals (like pay, mergers, or board changes), and arguments for and against each item. Investors care because those votes shape corporate direction, affect risk and future profits, and can influence share value.

Destination XL Group, Inc. Announces Date for 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

CANTON, Mass., November 2, 2026 – Destination XL Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: DXLG) (the “Company”), the leading integrated-commerce specialty retailer of Big + Tall men’s clothing and footwear, announced today that its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2026 Annual Meeting”) will be held on Thursday, December 17, 2026.

The formal portion of the 2026 Annual Meeting will commence at 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and will be held in person only, with no remote participation or streaming.

The record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the 2026 Annual Meeting is the close of business on November 13, 2026.

Because the date of the 2026 Annual Meeting is more than 30 days after the anniversary of the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the deadlines for stockholder proposals and director nominations set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for its 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 30, 2025, no longer apply. The Company has set the following new deadlines for the 2026 Annual Meeting:

Any stockholder proposal submitted for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2026 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), must be received by the Corporate Secretary at the Company’s principal executive offices at 555 Turnpike Street, Canton, Massachusetts 02021 no later than the close of business on November 12, 2026, which the Company has determined is a reasonable time before it begins to print and send its proxy materials. Any such proposal must also comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8.

Under the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated By-Laws (the “By-Laws”), any stockholder who intends to bring business before the 2026 Annual Meeting outside of Rule 14a-8, or to nominate a person for election as a director, must deliver written notice to the Corporate Secretary at the address above no later than the close of business on November 12, 2026, which is the 10th day following the date of this press release. Any such notice must comply with the requirements of the By-Laws. Stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must also provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than the close of business on November 12, 2026.

Additional information regarding the 2026 Annual Meeting and the matters to be considered by stockholders will be included in the Company’s definitive proxy statement when filed with the SEC.
