Analysis · DSX · Energy & Transportation
In a high-stakes M&A battle, Diana Shipping has extended its hostile tender offer for Genco Shipping & Trading by two weeks, now expiring July 24, 2026. The company also disclosed that 29.7% of Genco shares not already owned by Diana have been tendered as of July 10, up from 28.4% at the prior deadline. The $27.34 per share offer—a mix of cash and stock—remains on the table, backed by $1.412 billion in committed financing. While the incremental increase signals some shareholder support, the extension underscores Diana's determination to gain control despite Genco's board rejection. However, the deal cannot close without board cooperation, making this a critical update in an ongoing contest for control.
