may constitute forward-looking statements. These statements include, but are not limited to: statements related to Genco’s views and expectations regarding Diana’s unsolicited tender offer; any statements relating to the plans, strategies
and objectives of management or the Genco Board for future operations and activities; any statements concerning the expected development, performance, market share or competitive performance relating to products or services; any
statements regarding current or future macroeconomic trends or events and the impact of those trends and events on Genco and its financial performance; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Forward-looking
statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historic or current facts and often use words such as “anticipate,” “budget,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and
terms of similar meaning in connection with a discussion of potential future events, circumstances or future operating or financial performance. These forward-looking statements are based on our management’s current expectations and
observations. Included among the factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward looking statements contained in this release are the following: (i) Genco’s plans and objectives for future
operations; (ii) that any transaction based on Diana’s non-binding indicative proposal or otherwise may not be consummated at all; (iii) the ability of Genco and its shareholders to recognize the anticipated benefits of any such
transaction; (iv) the exercise of the discretion of the Genco Board regarding the declaration of dividends, including without limitation the amount that the Genco Board determines to set aside for reserves under our dividend policy; and
(v) other factors listed from time to time in our filings with the SEC, including, without limitation, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and subsequent reports on Form 8-K and Form 10-Q. Our ability to
pay dividends in any period will depend upon various factors, including the limitations under any credit agreements to which we may be a party, applicable provisions of Marshall Islands law and the final determination by the Genco Board
each quarter after its review of our financial performance, market developments, and the best interests of Genco and its shareholders. The timing and amount of dividends, if any, could also be affected by factors affecting cash flows,
results of operations, required capital expenditures, or reserves. As a result, the amount of dividends actually paid may vary. In addition, the forward-looking statements included in this communication represent Genco’s views as of the
date of this communication and these views could change. However, while Genco may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point, Genco specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, other than as required by federal
securities laws. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Genco’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of this communication. Important Information for Investors and Shareholders This
