Seanergy issued the following statement:
We greatly appreciate
our shareholders’ support for our Board. This outcome reflects
confidence in our Board and Seanergy’s strategic direction and our
commitment to value creation both now and into the future. It is
clear that our shareholders recognize that our Board and governance
are driving meaningful, sustained growth. Today’s vote also
underscores that Seanergy shareholders have firmly rejected G.
Economou’s self-serving attempt to seize control, standing
decisively against his proposals.
In recent years,
Seanergy’s Board and management team have transformed the Company
into a leading public, growth-oriented Capesize pure-play. Our
investments in the Capesize fleet have enabled us to operate
efficiently, outperform the market, and generate strong free cash
flow to support disciplined growth while increasing capital returns
to shareholders. With this focused strategy, we believe Seanergy is
well-positioned to continue delivering strong performance through
the cycle and attractive shareholder returns.
We thank our
shareholders for the trust they have placed in our Board, and we
look forward to continue engaging with them and taking actions that
are in the best interest of all Seanergy shareholders.
