Genco Shipping & Trading (NYSE:GNK) reported on its Board’s review of Diana Shipping’s revised, non-binding proposal to acquire all Genco shares not already owned by Diana for $24.80 in cash per share (less dividends declared) plus one Diana share.
The Board, with external financial and legal advisors, is assessing whether the proposal fully reflects Genco’s NAV, includes an appropriate control premium, and the value and risks of the Diana share component, including potential dilution and a proposed sale of 16 Genco vessels to Star Bulk. Genco also urged shareholders to reject Diana’s separate $24.80 all-cash tender offer, which lacks the stock component, and highlighted progress under its Comprehensive Value Strategy, including lower debt, reduced breakevens, and increased earnings and dividend capacity.

Genco Shipping & Trading (NYSE:GNK) commented on Diana Shipping’s extension of its cash tender offer to acquire all Genco shares it does not already own at $24.80 per share. Genco’s Board has unanimously rejected this offer, stating it meaningfully undervalues the company, is below Genco’s net asset value and includes no control premium.
According to Genco, the tender price is also lower than the terms of a separate indicative, non-binding proposal Diana sent to the Board, and Diana has not aligned its tender documents with that proposal. Genco urges shareholders not to tender, highlighting its Comprehensive Value Strategy and a dividend formula that, assuming the forward freight rate curve, would produce an estimated $2.50 per share total dividend in 2026. Shareholders who already tendered may withdraw their shares any time before the offer expires, while the Board continues to review Diana’s indicative proposal.
