Rhea-AI Filing Summary

HAINES KATHLEEN C reported acquisition or exercise transactions in this Form 4 filing.

GENCO Shipping & Trading director Kathleen C. Haines reported multiple awards of restricted stock units (RSUs) on March 18, 2026. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of common stock, or the cash value of a share, when it vests.

The RSUs were granted at a price of $0.00 per unit as part of director compensation, including additional RSUs issued instead of cash dividends on previously granted RSUs. Some of these RSUs have already vested on dates from May 15, 2018 through May 20, 2025, while newer RSUs generally vest on the earlier of the next annual shareholders meeting following their grant dates or July 20, 2026.

After these awards, the filing shows separate RSU grant buckets with post‑transaction balances such as 20,943.41 RSUs and 3,017.99 RSUs, indicating continuing equity-based compensation rather than any open‑market share purchases or sales.

How do the GENCO Shipping (GNK) restricted stock units reported here work?

Each restricted stock unit represents the right to receive one share of GENCO Shipping common stock, or its cash value, when it vests. Vesting depends on grant terms, such as scheduled vesting dates or the timing of the next annual shareholders meeting.

What vesting schedule applies to the newer GENCO Shipping (GNK) RSU grants?

Some RSUs were granted in lieu of cash dividends on previously outstanding RSUs. The number of these additional units is calculated by dividing the cash dividend amount by the closing price of GENCO Shipping common stock on the relevant dividend payment date.
