This is Diana's fourth proposal and the first to include stock consideration, increasing pressure on Genco's board. Watch for Genco's response (delay/engagement/rejection), the Form F-4 registration effectiveness, and any competing bid. If the deal closes, DSX shareholders face dilution from the share consideration (~$2.54/share value at current VWAP). The $24.80 cash floor provides downside protection for GNK holders.
