Diana Shipping Inc., which owns approximately 14.8% of Genco Shipping & Trading, is launching a proxy contest by nominating six independent director candidates for election to Genco’s board at the 2026 annual meeting. Diana’s move follows Genco’s rejection of its non-binding proposal to acquire all Genco shares it does not own for $20.60 per share in cash, which Diana characterizes as an attractive premium offer backed by a highly confident financing letter from two shipping banks. Diana argues that the current Genco board failed to engage constructively on the proposal and is seeking a refreshed board that will consider strategic alternatives, including its acquisition offer, to maximize shareholder value. Diana also plans to solicit support for proposals to repeal certain undisclosed Genco by-laws and to require a formal process to explore strategic alternatives.
Diana Shipping Inc. has updated its ownership filing for Genco Shipping & Trading Ltd., reporting beneficial ownership of 6,413,151 common shares, or about 14.8% of Genco’s outstanding stock based on 43,243,165 shares as of November 5, 2025. Diana Shipping holds sole voting and dispositive power over these shares and reports no share transactions in the past 60 days.
The filing notes that Diana previously submitted a non-binding proposal to acquire all Genco shares it does not already own for $20.60 per share in cash. Genco’s board rejected this proposal in a January 8, 2026 response letter. Diana Shipping subsequently issued a January 13, 2026 press release responding to the board’s rejection and indicates it may consider other plans or proposals regarding Genco and its shares.
Genco Shipping & Trading Limited reported an updated estimate for its operating performance in the fourth quarter of 2025. The company expects a fleet-wide time charter equivalent (TCE) rate of approximately $20,000 per day for about 95% of its owned available days in the quarter, based on both period and spot fixtures and including scrubber premium. Genco also estimates roughly 3,830 owned fleet-wide available days in the quarter, which together with TCE is used to calculate net revenue.
The Capesize fleet is trading entirely in the spot market or on index-linked time charters, with eight Capesize vessels expected to complete voyages in December and be available to fix in what the company describes as a strong freight rate environment. Some revenue from fixtures entered into in the fourth quarter, including certain Brazil-to-China voyages with long ballast legs, is expected to be recognized in the first quarter of 2026 under GAAP voyage accounting. The company emphasizes that TCE is a non-GAAP measure used to compare vessel earnings and that actual results may differ from these estimates.
Genco Shipping & Trading Ltd. director Basil G. Mavroleon reported insider transactions dated November 24, 2025 on a Form 4. The filing shows a disposition of common stock and multiple acquisitions of derivative securities in the form of restricted stock units (RSUs) credited for no cash consideration.
Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of Genco common stock, or at the Compensation Committee’s discretion, the cash value of a share on the vesting date. The RSUs referenced in the footnotes include grants that vested on various dates from May 18, 2016 through May 20, 2025, plus an award that generally vests on the earlier of the next annual shareholders meeting after May 20, 2025 or fourteen months after that grant date.
Additional RSUs were granted in lieu of cash dividends on the underlying common stock, with the number of RSUs calculated by dividing the dividend amount by the common stock closing price on each dividend payment date.
Genco Shipping & Trading Ltd. reported insider equity compensation activity for a director. On November 24, 2025, the director received multiple grants of restricted stock units (RSUs) tied to the company’s common stock, all recorded at a price of $0 because they are equity awards rather than open‑market purchases.
The RSUs include small fractional amounts such as 102.72, 58.16, 120.58, and other similar quantities, each representing the right to receive one share of common stock per unit. Many of these RSUs relate to earlier grants that vested on dates between May 15, 2018 and May 20, 2025, with additional units credited in lieu of cash dividends. Some newer RSUs vest on the earlier of the next annual shareholders meeting or specific dates in 2026, reflecting ongoing board compensation.
Genco Shipping & Trading Ltd. director Karin Y. Orsel reported multiple small acquisitions of restricted stock units (RSUs) tied to existing equity awards. On November 24, 2025, she was granted additional RSUs with no cash exercise price, in amounts of 61.4, 48, 66.46, 49.13, and 71.46 units, each corresponding to the company’s common stock.
The filing explains that each RSU represents the right to receive one GNK common share or its value when the unit vests. These incremental RSUs were granted in lieu of cash dividends on previously outstanding RSUs, with each grant size calculated by dividing the cash dividend by GNK’s closing share price on the dividend payment date. The underlying RSU blocks referenced have vesting dates ranging from May 16, 2022, through May 20, 2025, with one grant vesting at the earlier of the next annual shareholder meeting after May 20, 2025 or fourteen months after that grant date.
Genco Shipping & Trading Ltd. director Arthur L. Regan reported updated equity holdings in the company. The filing shows he directly beneficially owns 104,414 shares of Genco common stock. In addition, he holds multiple awards of restricted stock units (RSUs), each representing the right to receive one share of common stock or its cash value when the unit vests.
The RSU positions include 16,666 RSUs tied to common stock and smaller RSU amounts linked to prior dividend payments, with underlying share amounts such as 61.4, 48, 66.46, 49.13 and 71.46 shares. The footnotes explain that several RSU grants vested on May 17, 2017, May 16, 2022, May 16, 2023, May 23, 2024 and May 20, 2025, while one award generally vests at the earlier of the next annual shareholders meeting after the May 20, 2025 grant date or fourteen months after that grant date. Additional RSUs were granted in lieu of cash dividends, at a price of $0 per unit.
Genco Shipping & Trading Ltd. director reports additional RSUs tied to dividends. On 11/24/2025, a director of GENCO SHIPPING & TRADING LTD (GNK) received small additional restricted stock units (RSUs) that track cash dividends on previously granted RSUs. One RSU award added 49.13 units linked to RSUs that vested on May 20, 2025, bringing that award to 6,334.15 RSUs held directly. A second award added 71.46 RSUs on the same date, bringing that award to 9,213.35 RSUs held directly.
Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of Genco common stock, or at the issuer’s Compensation Committee’s discretion, the cash value of a share when the unit vests. The second RSU grant generally vests at the earlier of the next annual shareholders meeting after the May 20, 2025 grant date or fourteen months after that grant date. The additional RSUs were calculated by dividing the cash dividend by the closing share price on the dividend payment date.
Diana Shipping Inc. filed Amendment No. 3 to its Schedule 13D on Genco Shipping & Trading Limited (GNK), updating its stake and disclosing a non-binding takeover proposal. Diana reports beneficial ownership of 6,413,151 shares of Genco common stock, or 14.8% of outstanding shares, based on 43,243,165 shares outstanding as of November 5, 2025.
On November 24, 2025, Diana submitted a proposal to acquire all Genco shares it does not already own for US$20.60 per share in cash.

Diana has engaged DNB Bank and Nordea to lead financing and states confidence in securing about $1,102,000,000 of debt to fund the purchase of the remaining shares, refinance Genco’s existing debt, and pay transaction costs. The proposal is non-binding, is not subject to a financing condition or Diana shareholder approval, and would, if completed, take Genco private and delist its shares.
