Explanation of Responses:
1. Performance based restricted stock forfeited due to failure to achieve threshold FY2002 growth target.
2. Due to the nature of this transaction, the Price of the Non-Derivative Security is not relevant to transaction.
3. For any exempt transactions, the software requires that a balance footnote be attached to the reportable transaction on the form, even if it does not relate to the reportable transaction. The balance footnote will explain any exempt transaction which is not reportable, yet the addition of those shares must be recognized in the computer computation of total shares. In this case the common stock balance has been updated with 4795.3098 shares acquired on 2-28-02, 5-31-02, 8-30-02, 11-29-02, 2-28-03, 5-30-03, 8-29-03 and 11-28-03 under the GenCorp Dividend Reinvestment Program.
4. Shares held in the GenCorp Retirement Savings Plan Trust ("Plan Trust") as of November 28, 2003 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 stock price printed in the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions in the Wall Street Journal 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.
5. Due to the nature of this transaction, the Conversion or Exercise Price of Derivative Security is not relevant to this transaction.
6. Due to the nature of this transaction, the Execution Date is not relevant to this transaction.
7. Phantom stock units acquired under the Deferred Bonus Plan. Includes phantom stock units acquired through reinvestment of dividends on 2-28-02, 5-31-02, 8-30-02 and 11-29-02, 2-28-03, 5-30-03, 8-29-03, and 11-28-03.
8. Due to the nature of this transaction, the Date Exercisable is not relevant to this transaction.
9. Due to the nature of this transaction, the Expiration Date is not relevant to this transaction.
10. Due to the nature of this transaction, the Price of the Derivative Security is not relevant to this transaction.
