                              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 five 
                              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

                              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.
