It will help ensure that Genco\u2019s highly qualified, independent Board can continue implementing our strategy that has driven outperformance, meaningful returns and positioned the Company for continued shareholder value creation.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Genco Is Driving Results Across the Business with Continued Momentum<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Genco is operating from a position of strength. Over the past five years, we have executed our Comprehensive Value Strategy, which continues to deliver tangible results for Genco shareholders.<\/p>\n<p>Our Board and management team developed this strategy with a central idea: strong governance and disciplined capital allocation are critical for generating returns and value for shareholders. Our thesis has been proven, and, as a result, Genco has significantly increased its earnings power and dividend capacity.<\/p>\n<p>Since we began implementing our Comprehensive Value Strategy in April 2021, we have:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type:none\">\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>\n              <strong>Paid $310 million and $7.16 per share in dividends<\/strong>. We have delivered 27 consecutive quarterly dividends \u2014 the longest uninterrupted streak in our industry. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n              <strong>Grown our fleet of premium earning vessels. <\/strong>We have invested $557 million in our fleet, enabling us to take advantage of a strengthening drybulk market and enhance shareholders\u2019 upside potential. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n              <strong>Reduced our cash flow breakeven rate. <\/strong>We have strengthened our balance sheet by paying down $119 million in debt, supporting Genco\u2019s industry-low leverage and breakeven levels and increasing our ability to generate cash flow. As a result, we have a foundation to return capital to shareholders and take advantage of growth opportunities in various rate environments.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n        <strong>Our Recent Financial Performance Demonstrates that Our Strategy is Creating Value for Shareholders<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>We are generating solid earnings and delivering significantly higher dividends:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type:none\">\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Genco generated net income of $9.3 million and adjusted EBITDA of $36.2 million in Q1 2026, 358% higher year-over-year<sup>1<\/sup>\n<\/li>\n<li>We increased our first quarter dividend to $0.35 per share, up 133% year-over-year\n<\/li>\n<li>Full year 2026 operating cash flow is projected to be nearly $200 million, which would be an increase of more than 2x versus the 2025 level and the highest mark since 2022<sup>2<\/sup>\n<\/li>\n<li>We project a second quarter dividend of $0.70 per share, a 367% increase year-over-year<sup>2<\/sup>\n<\/li>\n<li>Our dividend formula would produce a total dividend of $2.50 per share in 2026, assuming the forward freight curve for the balance of the year<sup>2<\/sup>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We have momentum and believe Genco is well positioned <strong>to continue delivering compelling returns and dividend growth<\/strong> in a strengthening drybulk market.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Our Highly Qualified Board is Committed to Strong Governance and Creating Shareholder Value<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Underlying everything we do at Genco are our industry-leading corporate governance practices. We are the only U.S.-listed drybulk company with no related-party transactions benefiting insiders and have been consistently ranked in the industry\u2019s top quartile for governance practices.<sup>3<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Our<\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong>Board of Directors brings the right mix of experience, independence and expertise to guide the Company forward.<\/strong> Over time, we have thoughtfully and deliberately added highly qualified directors with deep shipping, drybulk commodities, capital markets and other relevant business expertise.<\/p>\n<p>Importantly, as I noted, our Board has been the architect of Genco\u2019s Comprehensive Value Strategy, which continues to drive our strong performance and returns today. While we are pleased with the progress we have made, our Board remains open-minded in evaluating all opportunities to create additional value for shareholders.<\/p>\n<p>To that end, we regularly review our performance and evaluate strategic opportunities. Consistent with this approach, we proactively reached out to Diana Shipping in June 2024 to explore a potential business combination.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond our prior engagements with Diana, we have also reviewed and considered a number of strategic opportunities \u2014 all through the prism of maximizing shareholder value. For example, our Board reviewed and rejected a proposal by Star Bulk Carriers Corp. to acquire Genco in July 2025 at a discounted price of $16 per share in cash and stock.<\/p>\n<p>Let me be clear: we would support a strategic transaction, but we will not settle for one that undervalues Genco at the expense of our shareholders. <strong>Any transaction must appropriately compensate our shareholders by reflecting the full underlying value of our assets and providing a meaningful control premium.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have been transparent about this standard and remain willing to engage with any party that meets it. Our strong and growing earnings and dividends only serve to further validate our rejection of these fundamentally inadequate proposals. Our shareholders today are benefiting from our Board\u2019s decisions.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>The Situation with Diana<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>This brings me to the current situation with Diana. Simply put, Diana is attempting to take control of Genco at a discount. They have rapidly accumulated Genco shares, made a series of inadequate proposals, launched a conditional tender offer and are now seeking to replace your Board through a proxy contest.<\/p>\n<p>We strongly believe the value and upside of your Genco investment far exceeds what Diana is offering and that our Board is the right group to continue leading Genco.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type:none\">\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>\n              <strong>Diana\u2019s tender offer is inadequate and highly conditional. <\/strong>Genco\u2019s Board reviewed the offer and recommends shareholders not tender their shares. The $23.50 per share price is unchanged from Diana\u2019s prior inadequate proposal, is well below the value of our assets, does not provide a control premium and is below Genco\u2019s current trading price. In addition, the numerous conditions attached to the offer make it highly unlikely to be completed, rendering it illusory.<\/p>\n<p>We note that independent sell-side analysts who follow our industry continue raising their estimates of Genco\u2019s net asset value (\u201cNAV\u201d), making Diana\u2019s offer look even more inadequate. Today, the mean sell-side analyst NAV estimate is $26.54, and the current median analyst estimate is $26.80 in a period of rising asset values across the industry.<sup>4<\/sup><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type:none\">\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>\n              <strong>Diana\u2019s handpicked nominees would jeopardize our progress. <\/strong>Allowing Diana\u2019s handpicked nominees to take control of our Board would remove our highly qualified directors and introduce significant risks to Genco\u2019s strategy, governance and future value creation. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Diana has made a number of false and misleading statements as part of its takeover campaign.

amortization. EBITDA is included because it is used by management and certain investors as a measure of operating performance. EBITDA is used by analysts in the shipping industry as a common performance measure to compare results across peers. Our management uses EBITDA as a performance measure in consolidating internal financial statements and it is presented for review at our board meetings. We believe that EBITDA is useful to investors as the shipping industry is capital intensive which often results in significant depreciation and cost of financing. EBITDA presents investors with a measure in addition to net income to evaluate our performance prior to these costs. EBITDA is not an item recognized by U.S. GAAP (i.e. non-GAAP measure) and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other indicator of a company\u2019s operating performance required by U.S. GAAP. EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity or cash flows as shown in our consolidated statement of cash flows. The definition of EBITDA used here may not be comparable to that used by other companies.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding-right: 0;text-align: right;vertical-align: middle;vertical-align: top\">2<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding-left: 0;text-align: left;vertical-align: middle;vertical-align: top\">)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: justify;vertical-align: middle;vertical-align: top\">Average number of vessels is the number of vessels that constituted our fleet for the relevant period, as measured by the sum of the number of days each vessel was part of our fleet during the period divided by the number of calendar days in that period.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding-right: 0;text-align: right;vertical-align: middle;vertical-align: top\">3<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding-left: 0;text-align: left;vertical-align: middle;vertical-align: top\">)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: justify;vertical-align: middle;vertical-align: top\">We define ownership days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet has been owned by us.

TCE rate is not an item recognized by U.S. GAAP (i.e., it is a non-GAAP measure). However it is a common shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare daily earnings generated by vessels on time charters with daily earnings generated by vessels on voyage charters, because charterhire rates for vessels on voyage charters are generally not expressed in per-day amounts while charterhire rates for vessels on time charters generally are expressed in such amounts. Our estimated TCE for the second quarter of 2026 is based on fixtures booked to date. Actual results may vary based on the actual duration of voyages and other factors. Accordingly, we are unable to provide, without unreasonable efforts, a reconciliation of estimated TCE for the second quarter to the most comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        \n      <\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse:
