## Exhibit 99.1

Exhibit 99.1

**Destination XL Group, Inc. Recommends DXL Shareholders Reject Zodiac Partners II's Tender Offer**

**<u>And NOT</u> Tender Their Shares** 

*Reschedules Earnings Call for June 3, 2026*

**CANTON, Mass., May 26, 2026 --** Destination XL Group, Inc. ("DXL") (NASDAQ: DXLG), the leading integrated commerce retailer of Big + Tall men's clothing and shoes, today announced that its Board of Directors, following a review with external legal and financial advisors, unanimously recommends that shareholders reject the tender offer (the "Offer") launched by Zodiac Partners II, LLC ("Zodiac") on May 12, 2026 for $0.82 per share and not tender any shares.

"The DXL Board of Directors is committed to maximizing shareholder value and taking actions that are in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders," said Lionel Conacher, Chairman of the Board of DXL. "In that light, the Board conducted a thorough review of Zodiac's tender offer and determined that it does not reflect the Company's underlying value. The Offer is also highly conditional and opportunistic, seemingly timed to deliberately exploit a period of market dislocation. We therefore recommend shareholders reject the Offer and not tender their shares."

The DXL Board issued its formal recommendation with respect to Zodiac's Offer in a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 filed today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

***Rescheduling Earnings for June 3***<sup>rd</sup>

In light of the time and resources required for management and the Board to review the tender offer, the Company needs more time to complete its fiscal first quarter earnings results. As a result, the Company is rescheduling its previously announced first quarter of fiscal 2026 financial results and will now release results before the market opens on **Wednesday, June 3, 2026.** 

President and Chief Executive Officer Harvey Kanter and Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer Peter Stratton will host a conference call the same morning at 9:00 a.m. ET to discuss the results. Participants can join by conference call or webcast.
