Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On April 7, 2014, the Organization & Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of GenCorp Inc. (the “Company”) approved grants to eligible employees of the Company including the named executive officers under the Company’s 2014 Long-Term Incentive Program (the “2014 LTIP”) and pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2009 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan.

The Company uses long-term incentive compensation to focus on the importance of returns to shareholders, promote the achievement of long-term performance goals, encourage executive retention, and promote higher levels of Company stock ownership by executives.

The table shows the restricted stock awards granted under the 2014 LTIP to the named executive officers of the Company:

Kathleen E. Redd    Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Assistant Secretary      41,927         6,988   
Warren M. Boley, Jr.    President, Aerojet Rocketdyne      42,373         7,062

John D. Schumacher    Vice President, Business Relations      26,057         4,343   

The vesting of the performance shares granted under the 2014 LTIP is based on meeting a cumulative three year cash flow metric for fiscal 2014 through fiscal 2016. The number of the performance shares granted under the 2014 LTIP represents the maximum number of shares that may vest. A lesser number of performance shares will vest if achievement is equal to or greater than 50% but less than 200% of the cumulative cash flow performance target. None of the performance shares will vest if achievement is at a level below 50% of the cumulative cash flow performance target. The vesting of the restricted stock granted under the 2014 LTIP is time-based and has a three year vesting period.
