Genco Shipping amends shareholder rights plan, eliminates 'Acting in Concert' definition
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- On June 2, 2026, Genco entered a Third Amendment to its Shareholder Rights Agreement (poison pill) removing the 'Acting in Concert' definition.
- Elimination based on shareholder feedback; other concerted-activity protections (e.g., 13d-5(b)(1) group formation) remain unchanged.
- Rights Agreement still aims to prevent open-market accumulation or control without paying all shareholders a control premium.
- Board states amendment does not deter consideration of fair offers and does not prevent fulfilling fiduciary duties.
- Amendment effective June 2, 2026; full text filed as Exhibit 4.1.
