GNK Director Das Paramita Receives RSU Award

What Happened

• Das Paramita, a director of GENCO SHIPPING & TRADING LTD (GNK), received two grants of restricted stock units (RSUs) on August 24, 2026 totaling 376.78 RSUs (204.31 + 172.47). Each grant is reported as a derivative award with an acquisition price of $0, so no cash changed hands on the reported grant date.

Key Details

• Transaction date: August 24, 2026; Report filed Aug 26, 2026 (Period of Report: Aug 24, 2026).
• Grants: 204.31 RSUs and 172.47 RSUs; price per unit reported $0; total reported value $0 (derivative awards).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
• Footnotes from the filing: F1 = each RSU represents the right to receive one share (or cash in the Compensation Committee's discretion); F2 = some RSUs had vested on May 20, 2025; F3 = other RSUs vest on the earlier of the next annual meeting following a June 18, 2026 grant or 14 months after the grant; F4 = additional RSUs may be granted as dividend equivalents.
• No indication in the provided data that this was part of a 10b5-1 plan, a sale, or a late filing.

Context

• RSU grants are compensation/award events (not open-market purchases or sales). They represent a future right to receive shares (or cash) when they vest, so they are not an immediate cash investment by the insider.
• Dividend-equivalent RSUs (if applicable per F4) are routinely issued to mirror dividends on underlying shares and are common in RSU programs.
• For retail investors, awards are informative about compensation but do not by themselves signal insider buying or selling intent until/if the RSUs convert to shares and are sold.
