1502 ET - Diana Shipping has said its revised offer to buy Genco Shipping & Trading for $23.50 a share is equal to Genco's net asset value, based on an estimate by Clarksons Securities. But Genco says Diana's offer is still a lowball based on one cherry-picked analyst estimate. "Diana's letter selectively referenced the lowest published NAV estimate from one analyst rather than Genco's mean analyst NAV estimate of $25," Genco says in a letter rejecting the revised offer, citing estimates from Clarksons, SEB, Fearnley Securities, Pareto, and Deutsche Bank. "This mean analyst NAV estimate is well above Diana's offer of $23.50 during a period of rising asset values." Genco also says the offer lacks a control premium in addition to undervaluing the business. (elias.schisgall@wsj.com)
