Diana Shipping signals intent to fully acquire Genco’s remaining shares.

Diana Shipping Inc. discloses that it has announced a proposal to acquire the remaining shares of Genco Shipping & Trading Limited. Moving toward full ownership could consolidate control over Genco’s fleet, commercial operations, and cash flows, potentially reshaping Diana Shipping’s scale and market positioning in dry bulk shipping.

The filing also incorporates the press release, excluding commentary from Ms. Semiramis Paliou, into existing Form F-3 shelf registration statements.
