 of the proposal or nomination to our Corporate Secretary, at our principal executive offices, between February 13, 2026 and March 15, 2026, which is 90 to 120 days prior to the one year anniversary of the upcoming Annual Meeting. If you wish to submit a solicitation of proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees pursuant to Rule 14a-19 for the Company’s next annual meeting, notice to us must be made no later than April 14, 2026. Any dissenting shareholder should comply with the additional requirements of a proper notice under Rule 14a-19, which includes the statement that a dissident using the universal proxy rule intends to solicit 67% of the outstanding voting shares entitled to vote on the election of directors. In addition, our shareholders must comply with the requirements of the SEC related to nominations and shareholder proposals and the procedural requirements in our bylaws, which shareholders can obtain from us upon request and which are also on file with the SEC. These requirements are separate and apart from and in addition to the requirements of federal securities laws with which a shareholder must comply to have a shareholder proposal included in DXP’s proxy statement under Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Our bylaws provide that if a shareholder wishes to nominate a person for election as director (which is separate from simply recommending someone to be considered by our Nominating and Governance Committee for inclusion on the Company’s slate of directors) or to propose other business to be considered at one of our annual meetings of shareholders, that shareholder must follow the procedures contained in our bylaws and satisfy the requirements of Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The shareholder proposing such business or making such nomination must be a shareholder of record of our Company on the date the nomination is delivered to our Corporate Secretary and at the time of our annual meeting and be entitled to vote at the annual meeting. The proposal or nomination must be received by our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices not less than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, except that if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the shareholder must be delivered not earlier than the close of business 120 days prior to the annual meeting and no later than the close of business on the later of 90 days prior to such annual meeting
