The 28.4% tender rate signals strong shareholder support, increasing the likelihood that Diana will secure a majority tender. Genco's board faces mounting pressure to negotiate or respond. Traders should watch for Genco's formal response, potential competing bids, or a sweetened offer from Diana before the July 10 deadline.
