Genco Urges Shareholders to Vote FOR its Directors by Tonight's Deadline

AI Summary

Genco Shipping & Trading Limited is urging shareholders to vote on the WHITE proxy card by tonight's 11:59 PM ET deadline, supporting Genco's highly qualified director nominees and rejecting Diana Shipping Inc.'s nominees and inadequate $24.80 tender offer. The company highlights its superior value creation, strong corporate governance, and the recommendations of all three leading proxy advisory firms (ISS, Glass Lewis, Egan-Jones) to vote for Genco's board. Genco asserts that Diana's offer significantly undervalues the company and its assets, and its nominees pose significant risks to shareholder investment.
