On July 9, 2013, GenCorp Inc. (“GenCorp” or the “Company”) entered into a stock option cancellation agreement with Kathleen E. Redd, the Company’s Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Assistant Secretary (the “Redd Option Cancellation Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay to Ms. Redd, the excess, if any, of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on July 9, 2013 over $9.29, the per share exercise price of certain options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock granted pursuant to the Company’s 1999 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan, as amended (the “1999 Plan”), in exchange for the cancellation and termination of such stock options.  As of such date, the insider trading window pursuant to the Company’s Insider Trading Policy had been closed for an extended period of time and the Redd Option Cancellation Agreement was entered into in order to address the expiration of such stock options during such time as the insider trading window was closed.  Pursuant to the terms of the Redd Option Cancellation Agreement, the Company agreed to pay $19,995 to Ms. Redd in exchange for the cancellation of 2,666 stock options granted to her under the 1999 Plan.
