Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

     On October 29, 2004, GenCorp Inc. (the “Company”) and The Bank of New York, as Trustee, entered into a supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to amend the Indenture dated August 11, 2003 (the “Indenture”) governing the Company’s 9½% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013. The Supplemental Indenture amended the Indenture to (i) permit the Company to refinance its outstanding 5¾% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the “5¾% Notes”) with new subordinated debt having a final maturity or redemption date later than the final maturity or redemption date of the 5¾% Notes being refinanced and (ii) provide that the Company shall have up to ten business days to apply the proceeds of refinancing indebtedness toward the redemption or repurchase of outstanding indebtedness. The Supplemental Indenture also amended the definition of refinancing indebtedness in the Indenture to include indebtedness, the proceeds of which are used to pay a premium necessary to accomplish a refinancing.
