Diana\u2019s indicative proposal does not meet this standard and is not in the best interests of Genco shareholders. The proposal is well below Genco\u2019s intrinsic value and NAV and fails to provide a premium for control of Genco.<\/p>\n<p>Genco\u2019s Board remains open to engaging with Diana upon receipt of an offer that appropriately reflects Genco\u2019s intrinsic value and upside potential of the Genco business.<\/p>\n<p>Jefferies LLC is acting as financial advisor to Genco and Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer (US) LLP and Sidley Austin LLP are serving as legal counsel to Genco. Morgan Stanley &amp; Co. LLC is acting as special advisor to the Board of Directors.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Genco Shipping &amp; Trading Limited<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Genco Shipping &amp; Trading Limited is a U.S. based drybulk ship owning company focused on the seaborne transportation of commodities globally. We transport key cargoes such as iron ore, coal, grain, steel products, bauxite, cement, nickel ore among other commodities along worldwide shipping routes. Our wholly owned high quality, modern fleet of dry cargo vessels consists of the larger Newcastlemax and Capesize vessels (major bulk) and the medium-sized Ultramax and Supramax vessels (minor bulk), enabling us to carry a wide range of cargoes. Following the expected delivery of one Newcastlemax vessel that we have agreed to acquire, Genco\u2019s fleet will consist of 45 vessels with an average age of 12.8 years and an aggregate capacity of approximately 5,044,000 dwt.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>&#8220;Safe Harbor&#8221; Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>This release contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
