Diana's $24.80 Tender Offer Continues to Undervalue Genco and its Assets and Fails to Provide a Control Premium NEW YORK, June 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Genco Shipping & Trading Limited (NYSE:GNK) (“Genco” or the “Company”), the largest U.S. headquartered drybulk shipowner focused on the global transportation of commodities, today issued the following statement regarding Diana Shipping Inc.'s (“Diana”) extension of its inadequate tender offer to acquire all outstanding common shares of Genco not already owned by Diana for $24.80 per share in cash: Diana's press release this morning represents yet more gamesmanship and an attempt to confuse Genco shareholders.

Genco Shipping presents a rare, asymmetric opportunity as activist Diana Shipping escalates pressure for control following a failed but consequential June 18 board vote. GNK trades at a steep forward EV/EBITDA discount of 6.4x, 47% below sector median, with ultra-low debt providing a robust safety floor for patient investors. Diana lost the June 18 vote but raised its offer to $27.34 per share beforehand and kept pressuring the board afterward, signaling urgency rather than retreat.
