Context

• Diana Shipping Inc. is a 10% owner (an institutional/large shareholder), not necessarily an officer or director of GENCO. Sales by large shareholders can reflect portfolio management or liquidity needs rather than a change in view on the company. Purchases tend to be more informative about insider confidence; this filing documents routine open‑market sales.
