Diana Shipping Inc. withdrew its offer to acquire Genco Shipping & Trading Limited on August 14, 2026, following demands from Genco's board that Diana considers unreasonable. The original proposal consisted of $24.80 in cash and one Diana share valued at $2.54 per Genco share. Genco countered with a demand for $27.50 in cash, $2.00 in dividends, and three Diana shares per Genco share, implying total consideration of approximately $36.91 per share. This counter-demand represents a 57% premium to Genco’s undisturbed share price at the time of Diana's last offer.

The company remains Genco's largest shareholder and intends to continue holding the board accountable for its commitments regarding standalone value and dividend growth.
