Genco Softens Poison Pill Stance Ahead of Diana Shipping Proxy Fight
Genco Shipping & Trading has pledged to limit its shareholder rights plan ('poison pill') and seek investor approval for future extensions, responding to Diana Shipping's renewed proxy campaign. The move comes days before the June 18 annual meeting, where shareholders will vote on board nominees and the rights plan. Diana has raised its unsolicited offer to $24.80 per share but failed to gain support from major proxy advisors.
