Genco Urges Shareholders to Vote for Board, Reject Diana's Undervalued Offer
Genco Shipping & Trading Limited urged shareholders to vote the WHITE proxy card for its current board and against Diana Shipping Inc.'s nominees and proposals ahead of the June 18, 2026 Annual Meeting. Leading proxy advisory firms ISS, Glass Lewis, and Egan-Jones support Genco's board reelection and recommend against Diana's nominees, stating that Diana's $24.80 per share offer significantly undervalues Genco. Genco highlights its Comprehensive Value Strategy, which has delivered $7.16 per share in dividends and 210% shareholder returns, and warns against Diana's "value-destructive actions."
