	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 twenty investment options for the contributions. Prior to April 15, 2009, one such option was a fund (the “GenCorp Stock Fund”) investing solely in GenCorp common stock. Effective March 16, 2009, participant-directed exchanges into the GenCorp Stock Fund from other investment funds in the Plan were no longer permitted. Effective April 15, 2009, all future contribution investment elections directed into the GenCorp Stock Fund were redirected to other investment options. Effective January 15, 2009, GenCorp discontinued matching contributions in the Plan for non-union employees. Prior to April 15, 2009, all matching company contributions were initially allocated to the GenCorp Stock Fund. Effective April 15, 2009, all matching contributions to a participant’s account, if any, are allocated in accordance with the participant’s investment elections for his own contributions. Under the terms of the Plan, Fidelity


				Management Trust Company (the “Trustee”) is required to primarily invest the principal and income of the GenCorp Stock Fund in GenCorp shares. Participating employees ultimately receive such benefits as result from the performance of the GenCorp Stock Fund upon their election to take a distribution of their allocated shares from the GenCorp Stock Fund.
