DEFINED TERMS
In
this Proxy Statement, Teledyne Technologies Incorporated is
sometimes referred to as the Company or
Teledyne. References to ATI mean
Allegheny Technologies Incorporated, formerly known as Allegheny
Teledyne Incorporated, the company from which we were spun off
on November 29, 1999.
PROXY STATEMENT
FOR 2005 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
VOTING PROCEDURES
Who May Vote
If you were a stockholder on the books of the Company at the
close of business on March 7, 2005 you may vote at the
Annual Meeting. On that day, there were 33,433,734 shares
of our Common Stock outstanding.
Each share is entitled to one vote. In order to vote, you must
either designate a proxy to vote on your behalf or attend the
meeting and vote your shares in person. The Board of Directors
requests your proxy so that your shares will count toward
determination of the presence of a quorum and your shares can be
voted at the meeting.
Methods of Voting
All stockholders of record may vote by transmitting their proxy
cards by mail. Stockholders of record can also vote by telephone
or Internet. Stockholders who hold their shares through a bank
or broker can vote by telephone or Internet if their bank or
broker offers those options.
|
|
|
|
|
By Mail. Stockholders of record may complete, sign, date
and return their proxy cards in the postage-paid envelope
provided. If you sign, date and return your proxy card without
indicating how you want to vote, your proxy will be voted as
recommended by the Board of Directors. |
|
|
|
By Telephone or Internet. Stockholders of record may vote
by using the toll-free number or Internet website address listed
on the proxy card. Please see your proxy card for specific
instructions. |
Revoking Your Proxy
You may change your mind and revoke your proxy at any time
before it is voted at the meeting by:
|
|
|
|
|
sending a written notice to the Secretary of the Company for
receipt prior to the meeting that you revoke your proxy; |
|
|
|
transmitting a proxy dated later than your prior proxy either by
mail, telephone or Internet; or |
|
|
|
attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person or by proxy
(except for shares held in the employee plan). |
Voting By Employee Benefit Plan Participants
Participants who hold Common Stock in the Teledyne Technologies
Incorporated 401(k) Plan may tell the plan trustee how to vote
the shares of Common Stock allocated to their accounts. You may
either (1) sign and return the voting instruction card
provided by the plan or (2) transmit your instructions by
telephone or Internet. If you do not
1
transmit instructions by 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time), on
April 22, 2005, your shares will not be voted by the plan
trustee, except as otherwise required by law.
Voting Shares Held By Brokers, Banks and Other Nominees
If you hold your shares in a broker, bank or other nominee
account, you are a beneficial owner of Teledyne
Common Stock. In order to vote your shares, you must give voting
instructions to your bank, broker or other intermediary who is
the nominee holder of your shares. The Company asks
brokers, banks and other nominee holders to obtain voting
instructions from the beneficial owners of shares that are
registered in the nominees name. Proxies that are
transmitted by nominee holders on behalf of beneficial owners
will count toward a quorum and, except as otherwise provided
below, will be voted as instructed by the nominee holder.
Confidential Voting Policy
The Company maintains a policy of keeping stockholder votes
confidential.
BOARD COMPOSITION AND PRACTICES
Information and Meetings
The Board of Directors directs the management of the business
and affairs of the Company as provided in the Amended and
Restated Bylaws of the Company and pursuant to the laws of the
State of Delaware. Except for Dr. Robert Mehrabian, our
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, the Board is
not involved in day-to-day operations. Members of the Board keep
informed about the Companys business through discussions
with the senior management and other officers and managers of
the Company and its subsidiaries, by reviewing analyses and
reports sent to them, and by participating in Board and
committee meetings.
The Company encourages, but does not require, that all its
directors attend all meetings of the Board of Directors, all
committee meetings on which the directors serve and the annual
stockholders meeting. In 2004, the Board of Directors held seven
meetings and acted five times by unanimous written consent.
During 2004, all directors attended at least 75% of the
aggregate number of meetings of the Board and the Board
committees of which they were members. All of the then serving
current directors attended the 2004 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders.
Number of Directors
The Board of Directors determines the number of directors, which
under our Amended and Restated By-laws must consist of not less
than four members and not more than 10 members. The Board
has currently fixed the number at nine members, which number was
so fixed in connection with the appointment of Simon M. Lorne to
the Board on July 27, 2004.
2
Director Terms
The directors are divided into three classes and the directors
in each class serve for a three-year term. The term of one class
of directors expires each year at the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders. The Board may fill a vacancy by electing a new
director to the same class as the director being replaced. The
Board may also create a new director position in any class and
elect a director to hold the newly created position until the
term of the class expires.
Directors Retirement Policy
On June 1, 2000, the Company adopted a retirement policy
for directors. This policy, as amended, generally requires
directors to retire at the Annual Meeting following their 75th
birthday. This policy also requires a director to offer to
tender his or her resignation if such director has a change in
professional status.
Executive Sessions
The non-management directors of the Company meet in executive
session without management on a regularly scheduled basis. The
Board has not formally designated a lead director. Committee
chairs rotate as presiding director in such sessions.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Director Independence
In April 2004, our Nominating and Governance Committee assessed,
and our Board of Directors determined, the independence of each
director in accordance with the then existing rules of the New
York Stock Exchange. After considering such items, including
various relationship categories and individual circumstances,
the Nominating and Governance Committee, followed by the Board,
determined that each member of our Board of Directors did not
have any material relationships with the Company and was thus
independent, with the exception of Dr. Mehrabian, our
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. The
relationships considered included: whether the director is a
Teledyne employee, amount of Teledyne stock ownership and
commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting
or auditing, charitable and familial relationships. The
Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board also
considered the Companys relationship and the relationship
of the director to ATI, from which we were spun-off in November
1999. See Certain Transactions at page 41. Our
Nominating and Governance Committee and our Board also
considered the same items when it appointed Simon M. Lorne to
the Board in July 2004. In January 2005, the Company circulated
questionnaires to confirm the independence of its non-management
directors. In conclusion, after due consideration, our Board has
determined that eight of our nine current directors are
independent directors. The independent directors by name are:
Robert P. Bozzone, Frank V. Cahouet, Diane C. Creel, Charles
Crocker, Simon M. Lorne, Paul D. Miller, Charles J.
Queenan, Jr., and Michael T. Smith.
The Nominating and Governance Committee, followed by the Board,
also determined that each member of our Personnel and
Compensation Committee is an outside director within
the meaning of Rule 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
All of the Boards standing committees consist only of
independent directors.
3
Corporate Governance and Ethics Guidelines
At the time we first became a public company in 1999, the
Companys Board of Directors adopted many best
practices in the area of corporate governance, including
separate standing committees of the Board for each of audit,
nominating and governance and executive compensation matters,
charters for each of the committees, and corporate ethics and
compliance guidelines. Our ethics and compliance guidelines are
published as the Corporate Objectives and Guidelines for
Employee Conduct (the Employee Guidelines). This
code of ethics applies to all our employees, including our
principal executive, financial and accounting officers. Our
employees receive periodic ethics training and follow-up
questionnaires are distributed annually to various personnel in
an effort to ensure compliance with these guidelines. It is the
Companys policy not to waive compliance with these
guidelines. The Company also has a specialized code of ethics
for financial executives that supplements the Employee
Guidelines (the Financial Executives Code). In
addition, we have ethics and compliance guidelines for our
service providers.
Our Board of Directors has adopted the Corporate Governance
Guidelines (the Governance Guidelines). These
Governance Guidelines were initially developed by our Nominating
and Governance Committee and are reviewed at least annually by
such Committee. These Governance Guidelines incorporate
practices and policies under which our Board has operated since
its inception, in addition to many of the concepts required by
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the New York Stock Exchange.
Some of the principal subjects covered by the Governance
Guidelines include:
|
|
|
|
|
Director qualification standards. |
|
|
|
Director responsibilities. |
|
|
|
Director access to management and independent advisors. |
|
|
|
Director compensation. |
|
|
|
Director orientation and continuing education. |
|
|
|
Management succession. |
|
|
|
Annual performance evaluation of the Board and Committees. |
Copies of our Governance Guidelines, our Corporate Objectives
and Guidelines for Employee Conduct and our committee charters
are available on our website at www.teledyne.com. If at
any time you would like to receive a paper copy, free-of-charge,
please write to John T. Kuelbs, Senior Vice President, General
Counsel and Secretary, Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, 12333
West Olympic Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90064-1021.
Sarbanes-Oxley Disclosure Committee
In September 2002, the Company formally constituted the
Sarbanes-Oxley Disclosure Committee. Current members include:
John T. Kuelbs, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and
Secretary; Dale A. Schnittjer, Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer; Susan L. Main, Vice President and Controller;
Ivars R. Blukis, Chief Business Risk Assurance Officer; Robyn E.
McGowan, Vice President, Administration and Human Resources and
Assistant Secretary; Melanie S. Cibik, Vice President, Associate
General Counsel and Assistant Secretary; Shelley D. Green,
Treasurer; Brian A. Levan, Director of
4
External Financial Reporting and Assistant Controller; and Jason
VanWees, Director of Corporate Development and Investor
Relations. Among its tasks, the Disclosure Committee will
discuss and review disclosure issues to help the Company fulfill
its disclosure obligations on a timely basis in accordance with
SEC rules and regulations and is intended to be used as an
additional resource for employees to raise questions regarding
accounting, auditing, internal controls and disclosure matters.
Since we became a public company in 1999, the Company has had a
confidential Corporate Ethics/ Help Line, where questions or
concerns about the Company can be raised confidentially and
anonymously. The Ethics/ Help line is available to all of our
employees, as well as concerned individuals outside the company.
The toll-free help line number is 1-877-666-6968.
The receipt of concerns about the Companys accounting,
internal controls and auditing matters will be reported to the
Audit Committee.
Communications with the Board
Our Governance Guidelines provide that any interested parties
desiring to communicate with our non-management directors may
contact such directors through the Companys Secretary,
John T. Kuelbs, whose address is: Teledyne Technologies
Incorporated, 12333 West Olympic Boulevard, Los Angeles,
California 90064-1021.
ITEM 1 ON PROXY CARD ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors has nominated for election this year the
class of three incumbent directors whose terms expire at the
2005 Annual Meeting.
The three-year term of the class of directors nominated and
elected this year will expire at the 2008 Annual Meeting.
However, as a result of our retirement policy for directors, if
Mr. Queenan is re-elected, he will step down at the 2006
Annual Meeting. The Board may grant a waiver to the retirement
policy.
The three individuals who receive the highest number of votes
cast will be elected. Broker non-votes are not counted as votes
cast.
If you sign and return your proxy card, the individuals named as
proxies in the card will vote your shares for the election of
the three named nominees, unless you provide other instructions.
You may withhold authority for the proxies to vote your shares
on any or all of the nominees by following the instructions on
your proxy card. If a nominee becomes unable to serve, the
proxies will vote for a Board-designated substitute or the Board
may reduce the number of directors. The Board has no reason to
believe that any nominee will be unable to serve.
Background information about the nominees and continuing
directors follows.

Review with the Companys General Counsel legal matters
that may have a material impact on the financial statements, the
Companys compliance policies and any material reports or
inquiries received from regulators or governmental agencies. |
The Audit Committee charter provides that the Companys
senior internal auditing executive reports directly and
separately to the Chair of the Audit Committee and the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company. As required by the charter,
our Audit Committee also has established procedures for the
receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding
accounting, internal controls and auditing matters. See
Corporate Governance Sarbanes-Oxley Disclosure
Committee at page 4. A copy of the amended and restated
Audit Committee Charter is attached to this Proxy Statement as
Annex A.
The Audit Committee meets the size, independence and experience
requirements of the New York Stock Exchange, including the
enhanced independence requirements for Audit Committee members
under Exchange Act Rule 10A-3. The Board of Directors has
determined that Frank V. Cahouet is an audit committee
financial expert within the meaning of the SEC regulations
and is independent under the New York Stock Exchange
listing standards. Our Governance Guidelines provides that no
director may serve as a member of the Audit Committee if such
director serves on the audit committees of more than two other
public companies unless the Board determines that such
simultaneous service would not impair the ability of such
director to effectively serve on the Audit Committee. Any such
determination must be disclosed in the annual proxy statement.
Besides our Audit Committee, each of Admiral Miller and
Mr. Queenan simultaneously serves on the audit committee of
two other public companies and each of Mr. Lorne,
Mr. Cahouet and Mr. Smith simultaneously serves on the
audit committee of one other public company.
The report of the Audit Committee is included under
Item 2 on Proxy Card Ratification of

2006 Annual Meeting and Stockholder Proposals at

methods for identifying and evaluating all nominees for

size of the Board and whether vacancies on the Board are
expected due to retirement, change in professional status or
otherwise. Candidates may come to the attention of the Committee
through current Board members, members of Teledyne management,
stockholders and other persons. The Committee to date has not
engaged a professional search firm. These candidates are
evaluated at meetings of the Committee and may be considered at
any point during the year. As stated in the Governance
Guidelines, nominees for director are to be selected on the
basis of, among other criteria, experience, knowledge, skills,
expertise, integrity, diversity, ability to make analytical
inquiries, understanding of or familiarity with the
Companys business products or markets or similar business
products or markets, and willingness to devote adequate time and
effort to Board responsibilities. The Committee may establish
additional criteria and is responsible for assessing the
appropriate balance of criteria required of Board members.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Directors who are not our employees are paid an annual retainer
fee of $24,000. Directors are also paid $1,200 for each Board
meeting, Audit Committee meeting, and Personnel and Compensation
Committee meeting and $1,000 for each Nominating and Governance
Committee meeting attended. Each non-employee chair of the Audit
Committee and the Personnel and Compensation Committee is paid
an annual fee of $3,500. The non-employee chair of the
Nominating and Governance Committee is paid an annual fee of
$2,500. Directors who are our employees do not receive any
compensation for their services on our Board or its committees.
The non-employee directors also participate in the Teledyne
Technologies Incorporated 1999 Non-Employee Director Stock
Compensation Plan, as amended. In lieu of cash annual retainer
fees, cash Committee chair fees and cash meeting fees, this plan
permits non-employee directors to elect to receive shares of our
Common Stock and/or stock options or to defer compensation under
the Teledyne Technologies Incorporated Executive Deferred
Compensation Plan (including a phantom share fund); provided,
however, that at least 25% of the annual retainer fee must be
paid in the form of our Common Stock and/or options to acquire
our Common Stock. It also provides for certain automatic stock
option grants for 4,000 shares of our Common Stock at the end of
each Annual Meeting of Stockholders. If a non-employee director
is first elected other than at an annual meeting, such
non-employee director would receive an automatic option grant
for 2,000 shares of our Common Stock.

ITEM 2 ON PROXY CARD
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR
The Audit Committee has appointed Ernst & Young LLP
(Ernst & Young) as the Companys
independent auditor, also referred to as the independent
registered public accounting firm, for fiscal 2005.
Ernst & Young has served as independent auditor for the
Company since the November 29, 1999 spin-off. The firm had
also served as independent auditors for ATI and its predecessors
since 1980. The Audit Committee believes that Ernst &
Young is knowledgeable about the Companys operations and
accounting practices and is well qualified to act in the
capacity of independent auditor.
Although the appointment of independent auditor is not required
to be approved by the stockholders, the Audit Committee and the
Board of Directors believe that stockholders should participate
in such selection through ratification. The proposal to ratify
the Audit Committees appointment of Ernst & Young
will be approved by the stockholders if it receives the
affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person
or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on
the proposal. If you sign and return your proxy card, your
shares will be voted (unless you indicate to the contrary) to
ratify the selection of Ernst & Young as independent
auditors for 2005. If you specifically abstain from voting on
the proposal, your shares will, in effect, be voted against the
proposal. Broker non-votes will not be counted as being entitled
to vote on the proposal and will not affect the outcome of the
vote. If the stockholders do not ratify the selection of
Ernst & Young, the Audit Committee will reconsider the
appointment of independent auditor. It is expected that
representatives of Ernst & Young will be present at the
meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement and
respond to appropriate questions.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS
A VOTE FOR RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT
OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies
In October 2002, the Companys Audit Committee adopted
guidelines relating to the rendering of services by external
auditors. The guidelines require the approval of the Audit
Committee prior to retaining any firm to perform any Audit
Services. Audit Services include the services
necessary to audit the consolidated financial statements of the
Corporation and its subsidiaries for a specified fiscal year and
the following audit and audit-related services:
(a) Statement on Auditing Standards No. 71 quarterly
review services; (b) regulatory and employee benefit plan
financial statement audits; and (c) compliance and
statutory attestation services for the Corporations
subsidiaries. Subject to limited exceptions, the guidelines
further provide that the Audit Committee must pre-approve the
engagement of Ernst & Young to provide any services
other than Audit Services. The Chair of the Audit Committee may,
however, pre-approve the engagement of Ernst & Young
for such non-audit services to the extent the fee is reasonably
expected to be less than $150,000. If the fee for any non-audit
services is reasonably expected to be $250,000 or more, the
Company must seek at least one competing bid from another firm
prior to engaging Ernst & Young, unless there are
exceptional circumstances or if it relates to the public
offering of the Companys securities. The guidelines
prohibit the Company from engaging Ernst & Young to
perform any of the following non-audit services or other
services that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
determines by regulation to be prohibited: bookkeeping or other
services related to accounting records or financial statements
of the Company; financial information systems design and
implementation; appraisal or valuation services, fairness
opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports; actuarial services;
internal auditing outsourcing services; management functions or
human resources; broker or dealer, investment advisor, or
investment banking services; or legal services and expert
services unrelated to the audit.
For 2004, all audit and non-audit services rendered by
Ernst & Young were pre-approved in accordance with the
Companys guidelines.
In making its recommendation to ratify the appointment of
Ernst & Young as the Companys independent
accountants for the fiscal year ending January 1, 2006, the
Audit Committee considered whether the provision of non-audit
services by Ernst & Young is compatible with
maintaining Ernst & Youngs independence.
Audit Committee Report
The following report of the Audit Committee is included in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. It is not incorporated by
15
reference into any of the Companys registration statements
under the Securities Act of 1933.
Report of Audit Committee
The following is the report of the Audit Committee with respect
to the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended
January 2, 2005 (the Financial Statements) of
Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (the Company).
The responsibilities of the Audit Committee are set forth in the
Audit Committee Charter, as amended and restated as of
January 25, 2005, which has been adopted by the Board of
Directors. A copy of the charter is attached to the Proxy
Statement as Annex A. The Audit Committee is comprised of
five directors. The Companys Board of Directors has
determined that each of the members of the Audit Committee is
independent in accordance with the applicable rules of the New
York Stock Exchange. The Board of Directors has also determined
that at least one director has financial management
expertise under New York Stock Exchange listing standards
and that Frank V. Cahouet is an audit committee financial
expert within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange
Commission regulations.
Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and
integrity of the Companys financial statements, the
Companys internal controls and financial reporting process
and the procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting
standards and applicable laws and regulations. Ernst &
Young LLP (Ernst & Young), the
Companys independent accountants, are responsible for
performing an independent audit of the Companys Financial
Statements and expressing an opinion as to their conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee
reviewed and discussed the Companys Financial Statements
with management and Ernst & Young, and discussed with
Ernst & Young the matters required to be discussed by
Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61 (Codification of
Statements on Auditing Standards, AU Section 380), as
amended. The Audit Committee has received written disclosures
and the letter from Ernst & Young required by
Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence
Discussions with Audit Committees) and has discussed with
Ernst & Young the independent accountants
independence.
The members of the Audit Committee are not professionally
engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting and are not,
and do not represent themselves to be, performing the functions
of auditors or accountants. Members of the Audit Committee may
rely without independent verification on the information
provided to them and on the representations made by management
and Ernst & Young. Accordingly, the Audit Committees
oversight does not provide an independent basis to determine
that management has maintained appropriate accounting and
financial reporting principles or appropriate internal control
and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting
standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the
Audit Committees considerations and discussions referred
to above do not assure that the audit of the Companys
financial statements has been carried out in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, that the financial
statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles or that the Companys auditors are in
fact independent.
16
Based on these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee
recommended to the Board of Directors that the Financial
Statements be included in the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2005 for
filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Submitted by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors:

will have an opportunity to ask questions about the Company and
its business.

Incorporated Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the
Deferred Compensation Plan). Under the Deferred
Compensation Plan, non-employee directors may elect to have
their deferred monies treated as though they are invested in
Teledyne Common Stock (called the Teledyne Common Stock
Phantom Fund). Deferrals to the Teledyne Common Stock
Phantom Fund mirror actual purchases of stock, but no actual
stock is issued. There are no voting or other stockholder rights
associated with the Fund. As of February 28, 2005, the
following director had the following number of phantom shares of
Teledyne Technologies Common Stock under the Deferred
Compensation Plan: Paul D. Miller 1,001.9126 phantom
shares.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
2004 Report on Executive Compensation
The following report of the Personnel and Compensation Committee
is included in accordance with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. It is not incorporated by
reference into any of the Companys registration statements
under the Securities Act of 1933.
2004 Report on Executive Compensation
This report on executive compensation is furnished by the
Personnel and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (Teledyne or
the Company). This report is not incorporated by
reference into any of Teledynes registration statements
filed under the Securities Act of 1933.
Effective November 29, 1999, the Company was spun-off from
Allegheny Teledyne Incorporated, now known as Allegheny
Technologies Incorporated (ATI). In connection with
the spin-off, Teledynes executive compensation program was
established, which had its genesis in the program established by
ATI. Pursuant to the Employee Benefits Agreement dated
November 29, 1999, between Teledyne and ATI executed in
connection with the spin-off (the Employee Benefits
Agreement), the Company was contractually required to take
various actions with respect to certain executive benefit plans
and programs. Since the spin-off, the Committee has approved
various modifications to the Companys executive
compensation program to enable the Company to be more
20
competitive and aligned with high technology businesses and,
thus, better assure attraction and retention of quality
management. The Committee did not engage any outside executive
compensation consultant with respect to Teledynes original
adoption of its executive compensation program, although Hewitt
Associates LLC had provided advice and data to ATI about
executive compensation in connection with the spin-off.
Subsequently, Hewitt Associates LLC has reviewed Teledynes
current executive compensation program from a competitive
marketplace perspective. In addition, Hewitt Associates LLC and
Watson Wyatt & Company each have from time to time provided
Teledyne with compensation and benefits advice and data. The
Committee also has considered publicly available market and
other data on executive compensation matters.
The companies used by Hewitt Associates LLC and Watson
Wyatt & Company for comparative purposes are based for
the most part on size and industries in which the Company
operates. Such peer group is not used for the purposes of the
Companys performance graph included in this Proxy
Statement under the caption Cumulative Total Stockholder
Return. The Companys performance graph does compare
the Companys performance to the Russell 2000 Index, which
is a performance measure under the Companys long-term
incentive compensation programs described below.
Personnel and Compensation Committee Charter
The Committee has a written charter that delineates its
responsibilities relating to Teledynes compensation and
benefits programs. The Committees principal
responsibilities are summarized elsewhere in this Proxy
Statement under the caption Committees of the Board of
Directors Personnel and Compensation
Committee. A full copy of the charter is also posted on
the Companys website at www.teledyne.com. The
charter was last reviewed, amended and restated on
December 15, 2004.
Executive Compensation Policy
The Committee has determined that total compensation for
Teledyne executives would be comprised of three general
characteristics:
|
|
|
|
|
It will be competitive in the aggregate, using a set of business
and labor market competitors (by industry segment, as
appropriate) to gauge the competitive marketplace. |
|
|
|
It will be performance oriented, with a substantial portion of
the total compensation tied to internal and external measures of
Company performance. |
|
|
|
It will promote long-term careers at Teledyne. |
Consistent with these characteristics, the Committee adopted the
following policies for base salaries, short-term incentives and
long-term incentives.
Base Salary. Base salary for all management
positions will be at the business units industry/market
median for comparable positions unless there are sound reasons,
such as competitive factors, for varying significantly from
industry medians. The Committees judgment will always be
the guiding factor in base salary determinations, as well as any
other compensation issue. The Committee believes that no system
should be so rigid that it prevents the use of judgment.
21
Short-Term Incentives. Annual Incentive Plan
(AIP) awards will allow for competitive cash
compensation, based on the achievement of pre-defined
performance measures, with up to 200% of the target award paid
in the case of significant over-achievement. The majority of the
award will be based on Teledynes achievement of certain
financial performance goals, with a smaller portion tied to the
achievement of pre-established individual goals. Generally, 40%
of the awards were tied to the achievement of predetermined
levels of operating profit, 25% to the achievement of
predetermined levels of revenue, 15% to the achievement of
predetermined levels of accounts receivable and inventory as a
percentage of revenue and 20% to the achievement of specified
individual performance objectives. These predetermined levels
may vary by business unit. In addition, a discretionary
adjustment of plus or minus 20% is allowed, although aggregate
upward adjustments will not exceed 5%. AIP awards are to be paid
from a pool equal to 11% of operating profit, subject to
modification by the Committee. No AIP bonus will be earned in
any year unless operating profit is positive, after accruing for
bonus payments, and operating profit is at least 75% of the
operating plan, subject in each case to modification by the
Committee.
Long-Term Incentives. Teledyne has two long-term
incentive plans that have been approved by its stockholders:
(1) the Teledyne Technologies Incorporated 1999 Incentive
Plan, as amended (the 1999 Incentive Plan), and
(2) the Teledyne Technologies Incorporated 2002 Stock
Incentive Plan (2002 Stock Incentive Plan).
Long-term incentives consist of three components:
Stock options are to be awarded annually to a broader group of
key employees who are nominated by management to receive awards
and whose awards the Committee approves. In practice, the amount
of the award generally depends on the employees salary
grade and position. In 2004, as in 2003, stock options awards
were reduced from prior year levels because of the potential of
having to expense stock options. Another reduction has already
been made for 2005 awards.
A three-year Performance Share Program (PSP)
opportunity, with a new cycle beginning every three
years, is available to selected officers and key executives. The
PSP provides grants of performance share units, which key
Company officers and executives may earn if Teledyne meets
specified performance objectives over a three-year period. Forty
percent of the PSP award is based on the achievement of
specified levels of operating profit, 30% on the achievement of
specified levels of revenue and 30% on the achievement of
specified levels of return to shareholders. No awards are made
if the three-year aggregate operating profit is less than 75% of
target, unless the Committee determines otherwise. A maximum of
200% for each component can be earned if 120% of the target is
achieved. Under the 2000 through 2002 cycle, for the three-year
aggregate return to shareholders performance measure, the
S&P SmallCap 600 Index (in which Teledyne is included) had
been the benchmark. For the 2003-2005 cycle, the Russell 2000
Index is the benchmark. Awards are generally paid to the
participants in three annual installments after the end of the
performance cycle so long as they remain employed by Teledyne
(with exceptions for retirement, disability and death). As to
the 2000-2002 cycle, two-thirds of the award was paid in
Teledyne Common Stock and one-third was paid in cash. For
2003-2005 and future cycles, one-half will be paid in Teledyne
Common Stock and one-half will be paid in cash.
A Restricted Stock Award Program (RSAP) opportunity
has also been established for selected officers and key
executives, which was first approved and adopted by the
22
Committee in 2000. The RSAP provides grants of restricted
stock, generally each calendar year, to selected officers
and key executives at an aggregate fair market value equal to
30% of each recipients annual base salary as of the date
of the grant, unless otherwise determined by the Committee. The
restrictions are subject to both a time-based and
performance-based component. In general, the restricted
period for each grant of restricted stock extends from the
date of the grant to the third anniversary of such date, with
the restrictions lapsing on the third anniversary. However,
unless the Committee determines otherwise, if Teledyne fails to
meet certain minimum performance goals for a multi-year
performance cycle (typically three years) established by the
Committee as applicable to a restricted stock award, then all of
the restricted stock is forfeited. If Teledyne achieves the
minimum established performance goals, but fails to attain an
aggregate level of 100% of the targeted performance goals, then
a portion of the restricted stock would be forfeited. The
performance goal for 2004 was the stock price as compared to the
Russell 2000 index.
A participant cannot transfer the restricted stock during the
restricted period. In addition, during the restricted period,
restricted stock will be forfeited upon a participants
termination of employment for any reason. However, if the
participant dies, becomes disabled or retires prior to the
expiration of the applicable performance cycle, the amount of
the participants restricted stock that is not subject to
forfeiture at the end of the performance cycle will be pro-rated
for the portion of the performance cycle completed by the
participant prior to his death, disability or retirement and
that amount will become vested at the end of the performance
cycle. Upon expiration of the restricted period, absent any
forfeiture, the Company will deliver to the recipient of
restricted stock one or more stock certificates for the
appropriate number of shares of Teledyne Common Stock, as
determined by the Committee based on achievement of the
specified performance objectives. The RSAP replaces, and is the
successor to, the Stock Acquisition and Retention Program
established by ATI (the ATI SARP), which the Company
assumed in part as described below in connection with the
spin-off.
2004 Compensation
Annual Incentive Plan. For 2004, AIP awards ranged
from 27% to 178% of the target incentives because the targets
and levels of achievement varied by business unit. For 2004, AIP
awards were determined as follows: 40% of the award was tied to
the achievement of predetermined levels of operating profit, 25%
to the achievement of predetermined levels of revenue, 15% to
the achievement of predetermined levels of accounts receivable
and inventory as a percentage of revenue and 20% to the
achievement of specific individual performance objectives. For
2004, AIP awards were paid from a pool equal to 10.7% of
operating profit. The bonus column of the Summary Compensation
Table contains any AIP award for 2004 to the named executives.
Stock Options. At the beginning of 2004, under the
2002 Stock Incentive Plan, Teledyne made one annual award of
stock options for an aggregate of 458,359 shares of Common
Stock to a total of 219 employees.
Performance Share Program. Teledynes first
three-year cycle under the PSP commenced
January 1, 2000 and ended December 31, 2002. As
described above, the PSP
23
award is based on achievement of specified levels of operating
profit, revenue and return to shareholders during the three-year
period. With respect to the 2000-2002 cycle, the Committee
waived the requirement that Teledyne meet 75% of operating
profit target, and determined that 80% of target performance was
met. In making this determination, the Committee recognized
managements hard work and perseverance in adverse market
conditions as well as a change in Teledynes strategic
direction. All of the named executives in the Summary
Compensation Table (with the exception of Mr. Pichelli)
participated in the 2000-2002 PSP, although the PSP award to
Mr. Link had been proportionately reduced since he joined
Teledyne after the cycle commenced. The second installment
payment of awards was paid in 2004. An aggregate of 43,621
shares was issued in 2004 under 2000-2002 PSP to 23
participants. The aggregate cash award was $702,541. Of the
named executives in the Summary Compensation Table,
Dr. Mehrabian received 5,086 shares and $236,823;
Mr. Kuelbs 6,327 shares and $30,556; Mr. Schnittjer
2,434 shares and $26,438; and Mr. Link 1,502 shares and
$20,789.
In December 2002, under the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, the
Committee established a performance cycle for the three-year
period ending December 31, 2005, with the same performance
goals as for the prior cycle (but using the Russell 2000 Index
as the performance index for the return to shareholders goal).
All of the named executives in the Summary Compensation Table
participate in the 2003-2005 PSP, with payments, if any, to be
made in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
Restricted Stock Award Program. On
January 27, 2004, Teledyne granted restricted stock under
the RSAP to selected officers and key executives. Each
participant received a grant of restricted stock equal to 30% of
his or her annual base salary as of the date of grant. The
performance period for such restricted stock grant ends
December 31, 2006, and restrictions on any shares not
otherwise forfeited lapse on January 27, 2007. In order for
the recipients of grants to retain all the restricted stock
granted, the Company three-year aggregate return to shareholders
(as measured by its stock price) must equal or exceed the
Russell 2000 Index. If Teledynes aggregate return to
shareholders (as measured by its stock price) does not equal at
least 35% of the performance of the Russell 2000 Index for the
cycle, the award will be forfeited in full, unless the Committee
determines otherwise. If the Companys return is between
35% and 100% of the Russell 2000 Index for the cycle, a portion
of the shares will be forfeited. An aggregate of 52,368 shares
of restricted stock are currently issued and outstanding. Of the
named executives in the Summary Compensation Table,
Dr. Mehrabian (9,541 shares), Mr. Kuelbs (5,350
shares), Mr. Schnittjer (4,692 shares), Mr. Link
(4,067 shares), and Mr. Pichelli (3,363 shares) were
granted restricted stock.
The terms of the January 27, 2004 award were identical to a
grant of restricted stock made on January 22, 2002 and
February 25, 2003 under the RSAP to selected officers and
key executives. The performance period for the 2002 restricted
stock grant ended on December 31, 2004, and restrictions on
any shares not otherwise forfeited lapsed on January 22,
2005. Restrictions were removed from an aggregate of 51,290
shares held by 13 participants since the three-year aggregate
return to shareholders was 134.8% of the performance of the
Russell 2000 Index for the three-year performance period. Of the
named executives in the Summary Compensation Table, restrictions
were removed from shares issued to Dr. Mehrabian (10,330
shares), Mr. Kuelbs (5,866 shares), Mr. Schnittjer
(3,518 shares), Mr. Link (4,205 shares) and
Mr. Pichelli (2,832 shares). The performance period for the
2003 restricted stock award ends on December 31, 2005, and
restrictions on any shares not otherwise forfeited lapse on
February 25, 2006. With
24
respect to the 2003 award, an aggregate of 65,526 shares of
restricted stock are currently issued and outstanding and held
by 12 participants.
ATI SARP. As a result of the spin-off, under the
Employee Benefits Agreement, seven Teledyne executives
(including three now retired executives) who had purchased or
designated shares of ATI stock under the ATI SARP received
distributions of common stock of Teledyne and Water Pik
Technologies, Inc. (Water Pik) on the purchased or
designated ATI shares. The shares that they received in the
spin-off as well as the original shares were held as collateral
for loans for purchased shares, all of which had been retained
by ATI, until the loans were fully paid. Restricted shares
issued under the ATI SARP were converted into shares of Teledyne
Common Stock and were subject to the restrictions set forth in
the original ATI SARP. In 2000, the Committee took action to
permit Teledyne executives who participated in the ATI SARP to
use ATI and Water Pik shares that they had purchased under the
ATI SARP to pay down loans for purchased shares, whether or not
such shares had been held for five years as otherwise required
by the ATI SARP. The Committee also released the transfer
restrictions on ATI and Water Pik shares that Teledyne
participants held as designated stock under the ATI SARP. At the
beginning of 2004, only two Teledyne executives remained as
participants in the ATI SARP. In February 2004, in accordance
with the terms of the ATI SARP, the two executives paid off
their ATI loans and restrictions lapsed on an aggregate of
20,246 shares of Teledyne Common Stock held by the two
executives, including Dr. Mehrabian (14,384 shares).
References to the ATI SARP will be removed from future reports
of this Committee.
Change in Control Severance Agreements
After the spin-off, the Committee recommended and the Board of
Directors approved Change in Control Severance Agreements for
the named executives (other than Messrs. Link and Pichelli)
and selected other key executives. The Agreement for
Mr. Link was approved when he joined the Company and the
Agreement for Mr. Pichelli was approved in 2002. In
entering into the Agreements, the Committee desired to assure
that Teledyne would have the continued dedication of certain
executives and the availability of their advice and counsel,
notwithstanding the possibility of a change in control, and to
induce such executives to remain in the employ of the Company.
The Committee believes that, should the possibility of a change
in control arise, it is imperative that Teledyne be able to
receive and rely upon its executives advice, if requested,
as to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders
without the concern that he or she might be distracted by the
personal uncertainties and risks created by the possibility of a
change in control. The Committee also considered arrangements
offered to similarly situated executives of comparable
companies. The Agreements have a three-year, automatically
renewing term. The executive is entitled to severance benefits
if (1) there is a change in control of the Company and
(2) within three months before or 24 months after the
change in control, either the Company terminates the
executives employment for reasons other than cause or the
executive terminates the employment for good reason.
Severance benefits consist of:
|
|
|
|
|
A cash payment equal to three times (in the case of
Dr. Mehrabian, Messrs. Kuelbs, Schnittjer and Link and one
other executive) or two times (in the case of Mr. Pichelli
and nine other executives) the sum of (i) the
executives highest annual base salary within the year
preceding the change in control and (ii) the AIP bonus
target for the year in which the change in control occurs or the
year immediately preceding the change in control, whichever is
higher. |
25
|
|
|
|
|
A cash payment for the current AIP bonus based on the fraction
of the year worked times the AIP target objectives at 120% (with
payment of the prior year bonus if not yet paid). |
|
|
|
Payment in cash for unpaid PSP awards, assuming applicable goals
are met at 120% of performance. |
|
|
|
Continued equivalent health and welfare (e.g., medical, dental,
vision, life insurance and disability) benefits at
Teledynes expense for a period of up to 36 months
(24 months in some agreements) after termination (with the
executive bearing any portion of the cost the executive bore
prior to the change in control); provided, however, such
benefits would be discontinued to the extent the executive
receives similar benefits from a subsequent employer. |
|
|
|
Immediate vesting of all stock options, with options being
exercisable for the full remaining term. |
|
|
|
Removal of restrictions on restricted stock issued by the
Company under our Restricted Stock Award Programs. |
|
|
|
Full vesting under the Companys pension plans (within
legal parameters). |
|
|
|
Up to $25,000 ($15,000 in some agreements) reimbursement for
actual professional outplacement services. |
|
|
|
A gross-up-payment to cover any excise and federal
income taxes imposed on the executive as a result of the
payments constituting a golden parachute as defined
in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. |
During 2004, as a matter of good practice and not because of any
particular transaction, the Committee reviewed the potential
aggregate costs to a potential acquirer associated with the
Change in Control Severance Agreements, including excise taxes
and gross-up payments associated with such agreements. The
Committee considered it unlikely that the employment of all 15
applicable employees would be terminated following a change in
control.
Compensation of Chief Executive Officer
Employment Agreement. The Company and
Dr. Robert Mehrabian, Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer, are parties to an Amended and Restated
Employment Agreement dated as of April 25, 2001 (the
Employment Agreement), which amended and restated
the Employment Agreement dated as of December 21, 1999 that
had been recommended and approved by the Committee. The
Employment Agreement provides that the Company shall employ him
as the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and
supplements his Change in Control Severance Agreement dated as
of December 21, 1999. It provides that Dr. Mehrabian
is entitled to participate in Teledynes AIP and other
executive compensation programs and provides him a nonqualified
pension arrangement as described below. The employment agreement
terminated on December 31, 2003, but was and will
automatically be extended annually unless either party gives the
other written notice prior to October 31 that it will not be
extended for the next year.
Base Salary and Bonus. The Committee determined
Dr. Mehrabians 2003 compensation in accordance with
the general compensation philosophy described above.
26
Effective September 1, 2004, Dr. Mehrabians
annual base salary was increased to $631,350 from $610,000. In
making such increase, the Committee reviewed information
provided by Hewitt Associates, which indicated
Dr. Mehrabians then base salary approximated the
median survey data. The Committee also considered
Dr. Mehrabians perseverance and successful efforts
with respect to Teledynes operational excellence program,
the strategic acquisitions that closed during 2004,
Teledynes succession planning and leadership development
and Teledynes stock performance. The Committee also
considered Dr. Mehrabians salary history since the
1999 spin-off from ATI. The Committee noted that this 3.5%
increase was commensurate with the recommended average to the
general employee base and senior management and consistent with
benchmark surveys.
Dr. Mehrabian received an award of $1,000,000 under the
Annual Incentive Plan for 2004, which was principally tied to
achievement of the target levels described above. In determining
Dr. Mehrabians award, the Committee reviewed
Dr. Mehrabians performance against his personal
objectives for 2004. The Committee considered Teledynes
2004 revenue and EPS growth, the five strategic acquisitions
made during 2004 and the Companys on-going cost reductions
and margin expansion efforts led by Dr, Mehrabian. The Committee
also considered the AIP awards paid to Dr. Mehrabian for
prior years.
Stock Options. On January 27, 2004, the
Committee awarded Dr. Mehrabian options to purchase 40,000
shares of the Companys common stock, a reduction of 16.67%
from 2003 because of the potential of having to expense stock
options. The Committee determined that this reduced amount,
which had been initially recommended by Dr. Mehrabian,
appropriately rewarded his leadership, perseverance and
strategic vision. As with other grants made under the 2002 Stock
Incentive Plan on that date, Dr. Mehrabians options
have a per share exercise price of $19.27, are exercisable in
one-third annual increments commencing on January 27, 2005,
and have a 10-year term.
Performance Share Program. As described above,
Dr. Mehrabian participates in the PSP. A three-year
performance cycle under the PSP ended on December 31, 2002,
and payments are to be made in three annual installments, with
the first installment having been made in 2003 and the second
installment having been made in 2004. As with other
participants, Dr. Mehrabians award for this cycle is
based on 80% of target performance. In 2004, 5,086 shares were
issued to Dr. Mehrabian as part of his second installment
payment. Dr. Mehrabian was entitled to 13,803 shares,
however chose to pay taxes due related to the issuance by
reducing the number of shares to which he was entitled by 8,717
shares, resulting in an increased cash portion of his award of
$170,156. Thus the cash portion of this installment totaled
$236,823. Dr. Mehrabian participates in the PSP for the
three-year performance cycle ending on December 31, 2005,
with payments, if any, to be made in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
Restricted Stock Award Program. On
January 27, 2004, under the RSAP, Dr. Mehrabian
received a restricted stock award of 9,541 shares of Teledyne
Common Stock, which was equivalent to 30% of his annual base
salary as of the date of grant. The number of shares of Teledyne
Common Stock that he will ultimately receive under this 2004
grant will be, as described above, based on Teledynes
return to shareholders as compared to the Russell 2000 Index
through December 31, 2006.
On February 25, 2003, under the RSAP, Dr. Mehrabian
received a restricted stock award of 13,298 shares of Teledyne
Common Stock under similar terms as the January 27, 2004
grant, but with the three-year performance period ending on
December 31, 2005.
27
On January 22, 2002, under the RSAP, Dr. Mehrabian had
also received a restricted stock award of 10,330 shares of
Teledyne Common Stock, under similar terms as the
February 25, 2003 and January 27, 2004 grants, but
with the three-year performance period having ended on
December 31, 2004. The restrictions on these shares were
removed on January 22, 2005, since the Companys
return to shareholders was 134.8% of the performance of the
Russell 2000 Index for the three-year performance period.
Pension Arrangements. Under
Dr. Mehrabians employment agreement, Teledyne has
agreed to pay following his retirement, as payments supplemental
to any accrued pension under the Companys qualified
pension plan, an annual amount equal to 50% of his base
compensation as in effect at retirement. The number of years for
which such annual amount shall be paid will be equal to the
number of years of his service to Teledyne (including service to
ATI), but not more than 10 years.
Deductibility of Executive Compensation
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally
disallows a tax deduction for annual compensation paid to a
chief executive officer and certain other highly compensated
officers in excess of $1 million unless the compensation
qualifies as performance-based or is otherwise
exempt under the law. Both the 1999 Incentive Plan and the 2002
Stock Incentive Plan are intended to meet the deductibility
requirements of the regulations promulgated under
Section 162(m). However, the Committee may determine in any
year that it would be in the best interest of the Company for
awards to be paid under the 1999 Incentive Plan or the 2002
Stock Incentive Plan, or for other compensation to be paid, that
would not satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m). In
making such determination, the Committee would consider the net
cost to the Company and its ability to effectively administer
executive compensation in the long-term interests of
shareholders.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider
Participation
No member of the Personnel and Compensation Committee of our
Board of Directors is an officer or employee of the Company.
Mr. Queenan is often referred to honorifically as
senior counsel to a law firm that provided services
to the Company during 2004 and currently provides services to
the Company. Mr. Queenan retired as a partner of such firm
on December 31, 1995. The Company has been advised that the
law firm does not compensate him, nor does he participate in the
firms earnings or profits. Our Board has determined he is
independent. See Certain Transactions at
page 41. No other member of the Committee has a current or
prior relationship and no officer who is a statutory insider of
the Company has a relationship to any other company, in each
case that must be described under the Securities and Exchange
Commission rules relating to disclosure of executive
compensation.

The amount of the award was based on base salary at the
beginning of the award period. Two-thirds of the award is
payable in Teledyne Common Stock, with the number of shares
based on a price of $9.66. One-third of the award is payable in
cash. Each payout is subject to payment of applicable taxes. |
|
|
1. |
Participants may elect to pay taxes due with respect to an
installment payment with awarded shares, awarded cash or a
combination thereof. Dr. Mehrabian chose to pay taxes by
reducing the number of shares to which he was entitled.
Mr. Schnittjer and Mr. Link chose to pay taxes not
covered by the cash portion of their awards by reducing the
number of shares to which they he was entitled.
Dr. Mehrabian, Mr. Schnittjer and Mr. Link were
entitled to 13,803 shares, 3,037 shares and 2,058, respectively.
As a result of their elections, shares issuable to
Dr. Mehrabian, Mr. Schnittjer and Mr. Link were
reduced by 8,717, 603 and 556 shares, respectively, and the cash
portion of their awards increased by $170,156, $11,771 and
$10,853 to pay applicable taxes. The Company used $19.52, the
average of the high and low sale prices of a share of Common
Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on February 2, 2004
(the payment date), to determine the taxes due and the value of
the shares for reduction purposes. |

2003-2005 Performance Cycle. The following table
sets forth estimated future payments in the 2006 to 2008 payout
period of Teledyne Common Stock and cash to the named executives
under the Performance Share Plan under the 2002 Stock Incentive
Plan. The amounts included in Estimated Future Payout columns
represent the potential payments of Common Stock and cash
depending on the level of achievement (i.e. threshold, target or
maximum) of the performance goals for the three-year (2003-2005)
award period. The participants will not receive any payment of
Common Stock or cash if Teledyne and/or the designated business
unit do not achieve the threshold level of performance
objectives during the award period.

(RSAP)
January 27, 2004 Award. The following table
sets forth information about awards of restricted shares under
the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan RSAP made to the named
executives on January 27, 2004. Each named executive
received a grant of restricted stock equal to 30% of the
executives annual base salary as of the date of grant. The
issuance price was $19.18. The restrictions lapse on
January 27, 2007, subject to achievement of performance
objectives for the three-year period ending December 31,

35% of the performance of the Russell 2000 Index for the
three-year period. If the Teledyne stock performance is less

portion of the restricted shares will be forfeited. If it is

Pension Plan
In connection with the spin-off, we adopted the Teledyne
Technologies Incorporated Pension Plan on terms substantially
similar to the parts of the ATI Pension Plan applicable to all
of our employees, both active and inactive at our operations
that perform government contract work and for our active
employees at our commercial operations. The annual benefits
payable under these parts of the pension plan to participating
salaried employees retiring at or after age 65 is calculated
under a formula which takes into account the participants
compensation and years of service. The Internal Revenue Code
limits the amounts payable to participants under a qualified
pension plan. We have also adopted a Benefit Restoration/
Pension Equalization Plan, which is designed to restore benefits
which would be payable under the pension plan provisions but for
the limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, to the levels
calculated pursuant to the formulas contained in the pension
plan provisions or for any monies deferred under the Teledyne
Technologies Incorporated Executive Deferred Compensation Plan.
Effective January 1, 2004, new non-union employee hires do
not participate in the Pension Plan, but participate in our
Teledyne Technologies Incorporated 401(k) Plan.
The following table illustrates the approximate annual pension
that may become payable to a participating Teledyne employee in
the higher salary classifications under our regular and
supplemental pension plans.

|
2. |
For the period through December 31, 1994, for Teledyne
employees who are in the higher salary classifications,
compensation for the purposes of the plan was limited to an
individuals base salary. Thereafter, plan compensation for
those employees includes base salary and up to five paid annual
incentive payments. |
|
3. |
The maximum amount of service credited under the pension
provisions applicable to our employees is 30 years of
credited service, with some exceptions. |
39
At December 31, 2004, the named executives had the
following full years of credited service for determining
benefits: Dr. Mehrabian, 5 years; Mr. Kuelbs,
5 years; Mr. Schnittjer, 32 years; Mr. Link,
3 years; and Mr. Pichelli, 24 years.
Employment/Change in Control Agreements
The Company has entered into an Amended and Restated Employment
Agreement with Dr. Mehrabian, which provides that Teledyne
shall employ him as the Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer. The agreement will terminate on December 31 of each
year, but will be extended annually unless either party gives
the other written notice prior to October 31 that it will not be
extended. Effective September 1, 2004, Dr. Mehrabian
has an annual base salary of $631,350. The agreement provides
that Dr. Mehrabian is entitled to participate in
Teledynes annual incentive bonus plan and other executive
compensation and benefit programs. The agreement provides
Dr. Mehrabian with a non-qualified pension arrangement,
under which the Company will pay Dr. Mehrabian following
his retirement, as payments supplemental to any accrued pension
under our qualified pension plan, an amount equal to
50 percent of his base compensation as in effect at
retirement. The number of years for which such annual amount
shall be paid will be equal to the number of years of his
service to Teledyne (including service to ATI), but not more
than 10 years.
The Company has Change in Control Severance Agreements with
Dr. Mehrabian, Messrs. Kuelbs, Schnittjer, Link, and
Pichelli, and 10 other current key employees. The agreements
have a three-year, automatically renewing term. Under the
agreements, the executive is entitled to severance benefits if
(1) there is a change in control of the Company and
(2) within three months before or 24 months after the
change in control, either the Company terminates the
executives employment for reasons other than for cause or
the executive terminates the employment for good reason.
Severance benefits consist of:
|
|
|
|
|
A cash payment equal to three times (in the case of
Dr. Mehrabian, Messrs. Kuelbs, Schnittjer and Link and one
other executive) or two times (in the case of Mr. Pichelli
and nine other executives) the sum of (i) the
executives highest annual base salary within the year
preceding the change in control and (ii) the Annual
Incentive Plan (AIP) bonus target for the year in
which the change in control occurs or the year immediately
preceding the change in control, whichever is higher. |
|
|
|
A cash payment for the current AIP bonus based on the fraction
of the year worked times the AIP target objectives at
120 percent (with payment of the prior year bonus if not
yet paid). |
|
|
|
Payment in cash for unpaid Performance Share Plan awards,
assuming applicable goals are met at 120 percent of
performance. |
|
|
|
Continued equivalent health and welfare (e.g., medical, dental,
vision, life insurance and disability) benefits at
Teledynes expense for a period of up to 36 months
(24 months under some agreements) after termination (with
the executive bearing any portion of the cost the executive bore
prior to the change in control); provided, however, such
benefits would be discontinued to the extent the executive
receives similar benefits from a subsequent employer. |
40
|
|
|
|
|
Immediate vesting of all stock options, with options being
exercisable for the full remaining term. |
|
|
|
|
|
Removal of restrictions on restricted stock issued by the
Company under Restricted Stock Award Programs. |
|
|
|

|
|
|

income taxes imposed on the executive as a result of the
payments constituting a golden parachute as defined
in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. |
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
Spin-Off Agreements
We entered into several agreements with ATI governing the
separation of our businesses and various employee benefits,
compensation, tax, indemnification and transition arrangements.
The Companys principal spin-off requirements, including
the arrangement to ensure a favorable tax treatment, have been
satisfied. Three of our nine directors continue to serve on
ATIs board. In addition, under one of our spin-off
agreements, since November 29, 2004, the Company is now
able to charge pension costs to the U.S. Government under
certain government contracts. In 2004, we also purchased the
Teledyne name and related logos, symbols and marks
from an affiliate of ATI for $412,000. In February 2004, in
accordance with the terms of the ATI SARP described on
page 25, Dr. Mehrabian paid off his outstanding loan
to ATI in the amount of $185,194.
Other Relationships
Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Nicholson Graham LLP.
We retained the law firm of Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Nicholson
and Graham LLP (formerly known as Kirkpatrick & Lockhart
LLP) to perform services for the Company during 2004, and expect
additional services to continue in 2005. While Charles J.
Queenan, Jr., a member of our Board of Directors, is often
referred to honorifically as senior counsel to this
law firm, he retired as a partner on December 31, 1995. The
Company has been advised that the law firm does not compensate
him, nor does he share in the firms earnings or profits.
Nothing withstanding this relationship, our Board of Directors
has determined that Mr. Queenan is independent,
within the meaning of the rules of the New York Stock Exchange,
and able to serve on the Audit Committee and the Personnel and
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. See
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider
Participation.
Mellon Bank. Dr. Mehrabian is a director of
Mellon Financial Corporation. Mr. Cahouet had served as
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mellon
Financial Corporation and Mellon Bank, N.A., having retired on
December 31, 1998. Mr. Cahouet ceased being a director
of Mellon Financial Corporation on April 18, 2000. We
maintain various arms-length banking relationships with Mellon
Bank, N.A. Mellon Bank, N.A. is one of ten lenders under our
$280,000,000 credit facility, having committed to lend up to
$25,000,000 under the facility. It also provides cash management
services and
41
an uncommitted $5,000,000 line of credit. Mellon Bank, N.A. also
serves as trustee for the Teledyne Technologies Incorporated
Pension Plan and provides asset management services for the
Pension Plan. Mellon Investor Services LLC serves as our
transfer agent and registrar, as well as the agent under
Teledynes stockholders rights plan. Notwithstanding these
relationships, our Board of Directors has determined that
Mr. Cahouet is independent, within the meaning
of the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, and able to serve
on the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
Korn/ Ferry International. Korn/ Ferry
International provided recruiting services for Teledyne and its
subsidiaries in 2004 and will continue to provide recruiting
services to Teledyne in 2005. Mr. Cahouet, a director of
the Company, is also a director of Korn/ Ferry International,
and his son is a member of its management, but not an executive
officer.

Prepare the required written confirmation to the New York Stock
Exchange at least once a year or upon any changes to the
composition of the Audit Committee. |
|
|
24. |

submit any recommended changes to the Board for approval. |
|
|
25. |
Perform an annual evaluation of the Audit Committees
performance in the manner recommended by the Nominating and
Governance Committee and review such evaluation with the Board. |
The Audit Committee shall meet as often as it deems necessary to
carry out its duties, but not less than quarterly, and shall
make a report to the Board following each meeting. The Audit
Committee should meet separately periodically with management,
the internal auditors and the independent auditor to discuss any
matters that the Audit Committee or any of these persons or
firms believe should be discussed privately.
The Audit Committee shall have the authority to retain advice
and assistance from outside legal, accounting or other advisors
as it deems necessary to carry out it duties and
responsibilities. The Audit Committee shall determinate what
appropriate funding shall be provided by the Corporation for
payment of compensation to the outside legal, accounting other
advisors employed by the Audit Committee, as well as for the
payment of ordinary administrative expenses of the Audit
Committee that are necessary or appropriate to carry out its
duties. The Audit Committee may request such advisors and any
officer or employee of the Corporation, as well as the
independent auditor, to attend a meeting of the Audit Committee
or to meet with any members of, or advisors to, the Audit
Committee.
While the Audit Committee has the responsibility and authority
set forth in this Charter, it is not the duty of the Audit
Committee or its members to plan or conduct field
work or other types of auditing or accounting reviews or
procedures or to determine that the Corporations financial
statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. This is the
responsibility of management and the independent auditor.
Management and the internal audit department are also
responsible for maintaining appropriate accounting and financial
reporting principles and policies and internal controls and
procedures that provide for compliance with accounting standards
and applicable laws and regulations. In fulfilling their
responsibilities hereunder, it is recognized that members of the
Audit Committee are not full-time employees of the Corporation
and are not, and do not represent themselves to be, performing
the function of auditors or accountants.
