ITEM 6.            Ownership of More Than Five Percent on Behalf of
                   Another Person: The Plan is a voluntary savings
                   plan for eligible employees of GenCorp Inc. and
                   certain of its subsidiaries.  Employees who elect
                   to participate in the Plan may select one or more
                   of three investment options for their
                   contributions, one such option being a fund
                   investing solely in GenCorp shares.  All matching
                   company contributions are invested in the GenCorp
                   stock fund as well.  Under the terms of the Plan,
                   the Trustee receives dividends on shares held in
                   the fund and is required to invest and reinvest
                   the principal and income of the fund in GenCorp
                   shares.  Participating employees ultimately
                   receive such benefits as result from the
                   performance of the fund upon their election to
                   take a distribution of their allocated shares
                   from the fund.
