"Our advisors have engaged with Diana's advisors on multiple occasions to discuss their proposal, including its price, structure and terms," Genco said Monday in a statement.
"Genco will continue to engage in good faith discussions with Diana with the goal of determining whether a transaction that fully and fairly compensates Genco shareholders is achievable" according to the statement.
Earlier Monday, Diana said it terminated its tender offer, removing what Genco had cited as a barrier to substantive negotiations.
Genco shares fell 5.6% in Monday trading, and Diana dropped 3.1%.
