Genco Board Reaffirms Rejection of Diana's 'Inadequate' $23.50 Tender Offer
GNK sits 86% above its 52-week low of $12.66.
Summary
Genco Shipping & Trading's Board of Directors is again urging shareholders to reject Diana Shipping's $23.50 per share tender offer, calling it 'wholly inadequate.' This reiterates the board's consistent defense against Diana's hostile takeover attempt, which began with an increased offer in March and escalated into a proxy fight for board seats. The board's firm stance signals their belief that the company is undervalued at the current offer price. The outcome of the tender offer and the ongoing proxy battle will determine the company's future.
