Diana Shipping Inc. Sends Letter to Genco Shipping & Trading Shareholders Making the Case for Electing Six Independent Nominees With Proven Track Records of Creating Shareholder Value
Diana Shipping (DSX) has escalated its hostile takeover bid for Genco Shipping (GNK) to $24.80 per share, a 39% premium to the undisturbed share price, while simultaneously launching a proxy contest to replace the Genco board. As Genco’s largest shareholder with a 14.4% stake, Diana argues the current board is entrenched and self-serving, citing over $13 million in defense costs and excessive CEO compensation despite a recent net loss.
