Executive Summary
Genco Shipping & Trading issued a press release urging shareholders to reject Diana Shipping's inadequate $24.80/share tender offer and vote for Genco's board nominees. Genco argues the offer is below third-party NAV estimates ($26.66 mean, $27.10 median) and below 1.0x liquidation value, while highlighting a strengthening drybulk market. The release is part of an active proxy fight and tender offer defense, escalating the contest for control.
