(e) Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On February 28, 2020, the independent directors of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of L3Harris Technologies, Inc. (“L3Harris”) approved certain compensation actions with respect to William M. Brown, L3Harris’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Christopher E. Kubasik, L3Harris’ Vice Chairman, President and Chief Operating Officer. On February 27, 2020, the Compensation Committee of the Board of L3Harris approved certain compensation actions with respect to L3Harris’ other “named executive officers” (pursuant to Instruction 4 to Item 5.02 of Form 8-K, those executive officers included in the Summary Compensation Table in the Preliminary Proxy Statement for L3Harris’ 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders). The compensation actions that were approved included payouts for L3Harris’ fiscal transition period as described below under the Annual Incentive Plan, the terms of which have been previously disclosed.
Cash payouts under the Annual Incentive Plan in respect of L3Harris’ fiscal transition period (which commenced on June 29, 2019 and ended on January 3, 2020) were approved based on the extent of achievement of fiscal transition period performance measures and of other individual performance objectives established early in the fiscal transition period. The pre-established financial performance measures were L3Harris consolidated earnings before interest and taxes, free cash flow (defined as cash flow from operations less net capital expenditures) and revenue, weighted 40%, 40% and 20%, respectively, with the same performance measures and weightings also used for the Aviation Systems segment (relevant to Todd W. Gautier) and the Space and Airborne Systems segment (relevant to Edward J. Zoiss). Approved payouts were as follows: William M. Brown - $1,467,500; Christopher E. Kubasik - $1,467,500; Jesus Malave, Jr. - $367,000; Todd W. Gautier - $283,000; and Edward J. Zoiss - $388,000.
