With all three proxy advisors backing Genco's slate and Diana having withdrawn four nominees, the probability of Genco's board retaining control is high. The vote outcome will determine whether Diana can force a sale process. If Genco's slate wins, the stock may re-rate toward NAV as the takeover overhang diminishes. Monitor the June 17 vote deadline and any further tender offer escalation from Diana.

Executive Summary
Genco Shipping & Trading Limited filed a DEFA14A on June 10, 2026, urging shareholders to vote for all six of its director nominees on the WHITE proxy card and to withhold on Diana Shipping Inc.'s two remaining nominees. The filing highlights that all three leading proxy advisory firms (ISS, Glass Lewis, and Egan-Jones) recommend voting for Genco's slate, and that Diana withdrew four of its six nominees after these recommendations. Genco continues to reject Diana's $24.80/share tender offer as inadequate and below NAV.
