The Plan is a joint plan due to the spin-off of OMNOVA Solutions Inc. (as a separate public company) from GenCorp Inc. effective October 1, 1999. The spin-off was accomplished by a distribution of one share of OMNOVA common stock for each share of GenCorp common stock held on the September 27, 1999 record date. Employees who elect to participate in the Plan may select one or more of seven investment options for their contributions, one such option being a fund investing solely in OMNOVA Solutions shares. All matching company contributions are invested in the OMNOVA Solutions stock fund. 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 OMNOVA Solutions 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. Item 7.
