Item 8.01. Other Events
     We are filing this Amendment 1 to our Form 8-K which was originally furnished under Item 7.01 on May 15, 2006. The Company’s financial printer filed the incorrect version of our Form 8-K and incorrectly characterized the filing as an Item 7.01.
     On May 12, 2006, after over two months of trial, GenCorp’s subsidiary, Aerojet-General Corporation reached an agreement to settle a group of environmental tort cases (Allen, et al v. Aerojet-General Corporation, et al and the Smith v. Aerojet-General Corporation, et al.), that had been pending in Sacramento Superior Court since 1997. The plaintiffs were seeking damages for illness (in some cases death) and economic injury allegedly caused by their ingestion of groundwater contaminated by Aerojet and others. The settlement agreement provides for payment of $25 million by Aerojet with the first payment of $14 million due in June 2006, the second payment of $7.5 million due in January 2007 and the final payment of $3.5 million due in January 2008. The settlement also provides for the dismissal of all claims and full releases. The Company will record a charge in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 related to this settlement. Management is evaluating any potential recovery of the settlement under the terms of Aerojet’s Global Settlement with the US Government.
