Explanation of Responses: |
1. Grant to Reporting Person of restricted stock under the 1999 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan. Shares of restricted stock will vest over a 29 month period based on the achievement of certain performance targets through November 30, 2011. |
2. Shares held in the GenCorp Retirement Savings Plan Trust (Plan Trust) are 635 as of August 24, 2009 which reflects the value in the participant's account as per the Plan Administrator's records. The number of shares reported is calculated by dividing the dollar value of the participant's account by the closing market price of the stock on the day reported above. This calculation yields only the approximate number of shares in the participant's account because the cash component in the Plan Trust (target 2%) is allocated to each participant's account on a pro rata basis, and the cash component varies based on overall activity of all participants in the Plan Trust. |
3. Grant to reporting person of stock options under the 1999 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan. Stock options will vest over a 29 month period based on the achievement of certain performance targets through November 30, 2011. |
