Fee computed on table in exhibit required by Item 25(b) per Exchange Act Rules 14a-6(i)(1) and 0-11 On April 18, 2024, Genco Shipping & Trading Limited issued the following statement and may in the future use the same or substantially similar materials from time to time: George Economou's letter is nothing more than name calling. Genco's Board conducted extensive analysis with our financial advisors and shared our conclusions with him, at which point Economou agreed that his initial suggestions of selling ships to fund a buyback were not advisable. Hours later he came back with an idea of $100 million tender at a premium, which the Board also duly considered and rejected for a number of reasons, including the levels of debt it would require the Company to take on and the ways in which it would limit our future flexibility including our ability to pay dividends. We encourage Genco shareholders to vote for our Board's nominees and discard any proxy materials they receive from Economou.
