Diana Shipping Inc. has raised its all-cash bid to acquire all Genco Shipping & Trading shares it does not already own to $23.50 per share, described as a 31% premium to Genco’s undisturbed closing price before Diana’s initial offer.
The proposal is backed by fully underwritten $1.433 billion in financing arranged by DNB Carnegie and Nordea, with participation from several major international banks, and by a definitive agreement for Star Bulk to buy 16 Genco vessels for $470.5 million in cash after completion of the acquisition. Diana, which owns about 14.8% of Genco’s common stock, is seeking board engagement and has nominated its own director slate for Genco’s 2026 annual meeting to push for consideration of this fully financed offer.

Diana Shipping Inc. reported net income of $3.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, down from $9.7 million a year earlier, with time charter revenues slipping to $52.1 million from $57.1 million as vessel sales and more drydocking reduced operating days.

Diana Shipping Inc. filed a Form 6-K furnishing a press release about its bid for Genco Shipping & Trading. Diana, which owns approximately 14.8% of Genco’s common stock, states that Genco’s board has rejected and declined to engage on Diana’s non-binding proposal to acquire all remaining Genco shares for $20.60 per share in cash.
Diana emphasizes that the all-cash offer is supported by a highly confident letter from DNB Bank and Nordea Bank for up to $1,102,000,000 in new debt financing to fund the purchase price, refinance Genco’s debt and cover transaction costs. Diana criticizes an alternative idea from Genco that Genco acquire Diana, noting that it lacked basic financial terms. The company reiterates its view that its proposal offers immediate liquidity at a premium for Genco shareholders and says its board is considering all options to advance the offer.
