Genco rejects the withdrawn takeover offer from Diana Shipping and discloses the terms it requires for a transaction: 27.50 USD net asset value in cash plus three Diana shares per Genco share. The company accuses Diana of inflating the offer’s value to 36.91 USD per share and stresses that the proposed package, after accounting for the announced dividend of 0.80 USD per share, falls below the net asset value. Genco points to ongoing dividend forecasts of over 2.00 USD for H2 2026, based on concluded fixtures and forward curves, and names Jefferies and Morgan Stanley as advisors. » Plus sur de.investing.com
