UNDER SECTION 90 OF THE BUSINESS CORPORATIONS ACT
The undersigned, the President of Genco Shipping & Trading Limited, a corporation incorporated under the laws of
the Republic of the Marshall Islands (the “Corporation”), for the purpose of amending the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, hereby certifies:

|
| 3. |
A new Article S is hereby added to the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation as follows:
|
“S. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shall be the federal district courts of the United States of America. If any provision or provisions of this Article S shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or
entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article S (including,
without limitation, each portion of any sentence of this Article S containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to
other persons or entities and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and
consented to the provisions of this Article S.”

The amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation was authorized by the unanimous vote of the Corporation’s board of directors and the vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all
