# DSG-linked escrow issuer upsizes senior notes to $800M at 10.000%, due 2032, ahead of $35/share buyout

## Summary
- $800M of 10.000% senior notes due 2032 priced by Eclipse Acquisitions Merger Sub; offering upsized from $700M previously announced.
- Offering expected to close Oct. 15, 2026, subject to customary conditions; gross proceeds held in escrow until the merger closes.
- Merger pays $35.00 per share in cash to DSG holders not owned by LKCM Headwater affiliates; DSG would survive as a subsidiary of Intermediate HoldCo.
- Proceeds plus an LKCM Headwater equity contribution fund the buyout, repay part of DSG's existing credit agreement debt, pay deal fees and fund future acquisitions.
- Deal still requires DSG stockholder approval; definitive proxy statement and Schedule 13E-3 (filed Sept. 1, 2026) are pending.
