The Board says Diana's offer is well below Genco's intrinsic value and NAV, fails to provide a control premium, and the Board is open to engage if an offer appropriately reflects intrinsic value. Jefferies is financial advisor; Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer and Sidley Austin are legal counsel; Morgan Stanley is special advisor.
Genco Shipping & Trading (NYSE:GNK) on March 19, 2026 rejected Diana Shipping’s revised non-binding indicative proposal to acquire all outstanding Genco shares for $23.50 per share.
