("DXL" or the "Company"), the largest omni-channel specialty retailer of big and tall men's apparel.

I'd like to thank the team at Pathlight for their support of our vision."
"For the past decade, I've had the pleasure of watching DXL reinvent the shopping experience for their customers in a dramatic way," said Mark Twomey, Managing Director of Pathlight Capital.
