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

(e)     On January 23, 2018, the Personnel and Compensation Committee of Teledyne’s Board of Directors took the following actions:

(1)     The Committee authorized payment of Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”) cash bonus awards under the Teledyne Technologies Incorporated 2014 Incentive Award Plan to each of the Named Executive Officers identified in Teledyne’s 2017 Proxy Statement with respect to the 2017 fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. AIP award opportunities are expressed as a percentage of a participant’s base salary and are based on the achievement of pre-defined performance measures, with up to 200% of the target award eligible to be paid in the case of significant over-achievement. The majority of the award is based on Teledyne’s achievement of certain financial performance goals, with a smaller portion tied to the achievement of pre-established individual goals. For 2017, 40% of the award is 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 managed working capital 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, downward (but not upward) discretionary adjustments are allowed with respect to awards to Named Executive Officers. AIP awards are generally paid from a pool not to exceed 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.


The following table sets forth the AIP cash bonus payments for the 2017 fiscal year to the Named Executive Officers identified in Teledyne’s 2017 Proxy Statement:

(2)    The Committee approved the 2018 goals for the AIP cash bonus awards to each of Teledyne’s Named Executive Officers under the Amended and Restated Teledyne Technologies Incorporated 2014 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”). AIP award opportunities are expressed as a percentage of a participant’s base salary and are based on the achievement of pre-defined performance measures, with up to 200% of the target award eligible to be paid in the case of significant over-achievement. The majority of the award is based on Teledyne’s achievement of certain financial performance goals, with a smaller portion tied to the achievement of pre-established individual goals. Generally, 40% of the awards are 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 managed working capital as a percentage of revenue and 20% to the achievem





ent of specified individual performance objectives. In addition, downward (but not upward) discretionary adjustments are allowed with respect to awards to Named Executive Officers. AIP awards are generally paid from a pool not to exceed 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.

For 2018, subject to the performance measures and discretion of the Committee, as noted above, the following Named Executive Officers identified in Teledyne’s 2017 Proxy Statement are eligible for a target AIP cash bonus based on the following percentage of their annual base salary:

(3)     The Committee established a Restricted Stock Award Program under the Plan for key employees, including the Named Executive Officers currently employed by the company. This program provides grants of restricted stock, generally each calendar year, to key employees at an aggregate fair market value equal to a specified percentage of each recipient’s annual base salary as of the date of the grant, unless otherwise determined by the Committee. The percentage of base salary used to determine the amount of the grant is 100% for Dr. Mehrabian, 60% for Mr. Pichelli, 45% for Ms. Main, 30% for Miss Cibik and 30% for Mr. Vanwees. 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 2018 is the price of Teledyne’s common stock as compared to the Russell 1000 Index. The performance goal for Restricted Stock awards in previous years was the Russell 2000 Index; however, as a result of Teledyne graduating to the Russell 1000 Index in June 2017 the Committee replaced the Russell 2000 Index with the Russell 1000 Index. In order for a participant to retain the restricted shares, Teledyne’s three-year aggregate return to shareholders (as measured by Teledyne’s stock price) must be at least 35% of the performance of the Russell 1000 Index for the three-year period. If Teledyne’s stock performance is less than 35% of the Russell 1000 Index performance, all restricted shares would be forfeited. If it ranges from 35% to less than 100%, a portion of the restricted shares will be forfeited. If it is 100% or more than 100%, no shares are forfeited and the participant does not receive additional shares.

(4) The Committee established under the Plan a new three-year cycle of Teledyne’s Performance Share Program for key employees, including the Named Executive Officers. Performance Share Program awards are intended to reward executives to the extent Teledyne achieves specific pre-established financial performance goals and provides a greater long-term return to shareholders relative to a broader market index. The Performance Share Program provides grants of performance share units, which key officers





and executives may earn if Teledyne meets specified performance objectives over a three-year period (2018-2020). Forty percent of the 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. For the 2018-2020 performance cycle, established by the Committee at its January 23, 2018 meeting, the Russell 1000 Index is the benchmark for the specified return to shareholders component. Awards are generally paid to the participants in three annual installments after the end of the performance cycle so long as they remain employed. For the 2018-2020 performance cycle, one-half of the award would be paid in cash and one-half would be paid in shares of Teledyne common stock, except that the award may be paid 100% in shares of Teledyne Common Stock to participants that are residents of certain foreign jurisdictions. A description of the terms of the Performance Share Program is attached as exhibits to this filing.

For the 2018-2020 Performance Share Program performance cycle, the following Named Executive Officers are eligible for a target award based on the following percentage of their annual base salary:

Article III. Administration



2




The Program shall be administered by the Committee, which shall have exclusive and final authority and discretion in each determination, interpretation or other action affecting the Program and its Participants. The Committee shall have the sole and absolute authority and discretion to interpret the Program, to modify these administrative rules for the Program, to approve, in accordance with Article V of these rules, the selection by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer of the persons who will be Participants hereunder, to impose such conditions and restrictions as it determines appropriate and to take such other actions and make such other determinations in connection with the Program as it may deem necessary or advisable.

Article IV. Common Stock Issuable under the Program

4.01 Number of Shares of Common Stock Issuable. Subject to adjustments as provided in Section 11.07 of the Plan, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Program (including shares underlying an RSU) shall be such number as the Committee grants. The Common Stock to be offered under the Program shall be authorized and unissued Common Stock, or Common Stock which shall have been reacquired by the Company and held in its treasury.

4.02 Shares Subject to Terminated Awards. Shares of Common Stock forfeited as provided in Section 6.02 of these rules may again be issued under the Program.

Article V. Participation

    Participants in the Program shall be those officers and key employees of the Company selected by the Chief Executive Officer and approved by the Committee, each in its sole discretion, as eligible to participate in the Program. The designation of a Participant with respect to any year shall not entitle that person to be designated as a Participant with respect to any other year. The Chief Executive Officer and the Committee shall consider such factors as each deems pertinent in selecting and approving Participants. The Committee shall promptly provide to each person designated as a Participant written notice of his or her designation.

Article VI. Restricted Stock and RSU

6.01     Restricted Stock Awards. Each calendar year, each Participant designated for that year shall receive a grant of Restricted Stock, or, if applicable a grant of RSUs, with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to a percentage of the Participant’s annual base salary in effect on the Date of Grant. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the applicable percentage shall be thirty percent. The terms of all such Restricted Stock or RSU grants shall be set forth in an Award Agreement between the Company and the Participant which shall contain such forfeiture periods and conditions, restrictions and other provisions, not inconsistent with these rules, as shall be determined by the Committee.

(a)     Issuance of Restricted Stock. As soon as practicable after the Date of Grant of Restricted Stock, the Company shall cause to be transferred on the books of the Company shares of Common Stock, registered on behalf of the Participant,


3




evidencing such Restricted Stock, but subject to forfeiture to the Company retroactive to the Date of Grant if an Award Agreement delivered to the Participant by the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock is not duly executed by the Participant and timely returned to the Company. Until the lapse or release of all restrictions applicable to an award of Restricted Stock, the stock certificates representing such Restricted Stock shall be held in custody by the Company or its designee. Common Stock underlying an RSU shall be issued upon the vesting of such RSU as provided herein and/or in the Award Agreement.

(b)     Common Stockholder Rights. Beginning on the Date of Grant of the Restricted Stock and subject to execution of the Award Agreement as provided in Section 6.01(a) of these rules, the Participant shall become a stockholder of the Company with respect to all Common Stock subject to the Award Agreement and shall have all of the rights of a stockholder, including, but not limited to, the right to vote such Common Stock and the right to receive dividends or distributions, if any, paid with respect to such Common Stock; provided, however, that any Common Stock or cash distributed as a dividend or otherwise with respect to any Restricted Stock as to which the restrictions have not yet lapsed shall be subject to the same restrictions as such Restricted Stock and shall be held as prescribed in Section 6.01(a) of these rules. This provision shall not apply to RSUs.

(c)     Restriction on Transferability. None of the Restricted Stock nor any RSU may be assigned, transferred (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution), pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of prior to lapse or release of the restrictions applicable thereto.

(d)     Delivery of Common Stock Upon Release of Restrictions. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, upon expiration or earlier termination of the Restricted Period without a forfeiture and the satisfaction of or release from any other conditions prescribed by the Committee, the restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock or to the RSU shall lapse or vest, as the case may be. As promptly as administratively feasible thereafter, subject to the requirements of Section 7.02 of these rules, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or, in the case of the Participant’s death, to the Participant’s legal representatives, one or more stock certificates for the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock, free of all such restrictions, except for any restrictions that may be imposed by law.
    
6.02 Terms of Restricted Stock and RSU.

(a)     Forfeiture of Restricted Stock. Subject to Section 6.02(e) of these rules, all Restricted Stock shall be forfeited and returned to the Company, and all RSU shall be deemed unvested and forfeited, and all rights of the Participant with respect to such Restricted Stock or RSU shall cease and terminate in their entirety if during the Restricted Period (i) the Participant transfers, sells or otherwise disposes of the Restricted Stock, (ii) as of the end of the applicable Performance Cycle, the


4




Committee determines that the Company failed to achieve certain minimum Performance Goals during the Performance Cycle, or (iii) except as otherwise provided in Section 6.02(d) or upon a Change in Control, the employment of the Participant with the Company and its affiliates terminates for any reason.

(b)     Restricted Period . Unless the Committee, in its discretion, provides otherwise in the applicable Award Agreement, the Restricted Period for any grant of Restricted Stock or RSUs shall extend from the Date of Grant to the third anniversary of the Date of Grant; provided, however, that, subject to the Committee’s discretion under Section 6.02(e), in no event shall the Restricted Period expire prior to the date that the Committee makes its determinations with respect to the Company’s attainment of the applicable Performance Goals as described in Section 6.02(c).

(c)     Forfeiture Upon Failure to Attain Certain Performance Goals . If, as of the end of the Performance Cycle during the applicable Restricted Period, the Committee determines that the Company has achieved certain minimum Performance Goals for the Performance Cycle, a portion of the Restricted Stock (up to 100%) shall be forfeited (or, in the case of an RSU, a portion of the RSU award shall vest (up to 100%)) if the Committee determines that the Company’s overall percentage attainment of the Performance Goals established for the Performance Cycle is less than 100%. In that event, a portion of the Restricted Stock shall be forfeited (or, in the case of RSU awards, a portion of the RSU award shall be deemed unvested) that is equal to (i) the aggregate number of shares of Restricted Stock or RSUs reduced by (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Restricted Stock or RSUs multiplied by the Company’s percentage attainment (but not more than 100%) of the Performance Goals established for the Performance Cycle, as determined by the Committee (any fractional share resulting from this calculation shall be rounded up to the next whole share). Except as provided in Section 6.02(d), any Restricted Shares or RSUs which are not forfeited or which have vested under this Section 6.02(c) shall continue to be subject to the applicable restrictions for the remainder of the Restricted Period.

(d)     Death, Disability or Retirement Prior to Expiration of the Performance Cycle . Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, in the event of the termination of a Participant’s employment due to death, disability (as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee) or retirement pursuant to the retirement policy of the Company or its applicable subsidiaries prior to the expiration of the applicable Performance Cycle, the Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiaries) shall continue to hold the Restricted Stock through the expiration of the applicable Performance Cycle. At that time, the restrictions shall lapse (or such RSU award shall vest) with respect to a portion of the Restricted Stock or RSUs equal to (i) the number of shares of Restricted Stock or number of RSUs that would not be subject to forfeiture or, in the case of RSUs, have vested under Section 6.02(a) or (c) had the Participant remained employed by the Company through the end of


5




the Performance Cycle multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months during which the Participant was employed by the Company from the beginning of the applicable Performance Cycle through the date of the Participant’s termination of employment and the denominator of which is the total number of months in the Performance Cycle (any fractional share resulting from this calculation shall be rounded up to the next whole share). Any remaining shares of Restricted Stock (or unvested RSUs) shall be forfeited as of the end of the applicable Performance Cycle. If all of the Participant’s Restricted Stock would be forfeited (or RSUs would be unvested) under Section 6.02(a) or (c), then all of the Participant’s Restricted Stock or RSUs shall be forfeited as of the end of the applicable Performance Cycle.

(e)     Adjustment of Performance Cycle; Waiver of Restricted Period; Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VI to the contrary, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, the Committee shall have discretion to adjust the applicable Performance Cycle or waive the Restricted Period or any other restrictions or conditions with respect to all or a portion of the Restricted Stock or RSUs as provided under Sections 7.02(b) and 8.02(e) of the Plan; provided, further, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company, restrictions on all Restricted Stock granted under the Program shall lapse and all unvested RSUs shall vest in their entirety immediately in accordance with Section 7.03 of the Plan.

Article VII. Miscellaneous

7.01 Limitations on Transfer. The rights and interest of a Participant under the Program may not be assigned or transferred other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. During the lifetime of a Participant, only the Participant personally may exercise rights under the Program.

7.02 Taxes. The Company shall be entitled to withhold (or secure payment from the Participant in lieu of withholding) the amount of any withholding or other tax required by law to be withheld or paid by the Company with respect to any Common Stock or RSUs issuable under the Program, or with respect to any income recognized upon the lapse of restrictions or vesting applicable to Restricted Stock or RSUs, and the Company may defer issuance of Common Stock hereunder until and unless indemnified to its satisfaction against any liability for any such tax. The amount of any withholding or tax payment shall be determined by the Committee or its delegate and shall be payable by the Participant at such time as the Committee determines. The Committee shall prescribe in each Award Agreement one or more methods by which the Participant will be permitted to satisfy his or her tax withholding obligation, which methods may include, without limitation, the payment of cash by the Participant to the Company and the withholding, at the appropriate time, of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant in a number sufficient, based upon the Fair Market Value (as such term is defined in the Plan) of such Common Stock, to satisfy such tax withholding requirements.


6





7.03 Legends. All certificates for Common Stock delivered under the Program shall be subject to such transfer restrictions set forth in these rules and such other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Common Stock is then listed and any applicable federal or state securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be endorsed on any such certificates making appropriate references to those restrictions.

7.04 Amendment and Termination. The Committee shall have complete power and authority to amend or terminate these rules at any time it is deemed necessary or appropriate. No termination or amendment of the Program may, without the consent of the Participant to whom any award shall previously have been granted under the Program, adversely affect the right of that individual under such award; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, make such provision in the Award Agreement for amendments which, in its sole discretion, it deems appropriate.

In addition, the Restricted Shares shall be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Company may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Common Stock is then listed, and any applicable federal or state securities law, and the Company may cause a legend or legends to be placed on such Restricted Shares to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

(d)    As soon as administratively practicable following the expiration of the Restricted Period without a forfeiture of the Restricted Shares, and upon the satisfaction of all other applicable conditions as to the Restricted Shares, including, but not limited to, the payment by the Executive of all applicable withholding taxes, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Executive in book entry form the Restricted Shares or, at the request of the Executive, a certificate or certificates for the applicable Restricted Shares, in either case which shall not bear the Program Legend.

(iv) all of the Restricted Shares (and cash dividends) shall be forfeited and returned to the Company and all rights of the Executive with respect to the Restricted Shares shall terminate in their entirety on the terms and conditions set forth in Paragraph 1.4.

(b)    Any attempt to dispose of Restricted Shares or any interest in the Restricted Shares in a manner contrary to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement shall be null, void and ineffective.

1.3     Restricted Period and Lapse of Restrictions . Subject to the provisions contained in Paragraphs 1.4, 1.6 and 1.7, the restrictions set forth in Paragraph 1.2 shall apply for a period (the “Restricted Period”) beginning on the Date of Grant and ending on the third anniversary of the Date of Grant; provided, however, that, subject to the Committee’s discretion under Paragraph 1.7, in no event shall the Restricted Period expire prior to the date that the Committee makes its determinations with respect to the Company’s attainment of the applicable Performance Goals as described in Paragraph 1.4(a).

1.4     Forfeiture .

(a)    If, during the Restricted Period, the Restricted Shares have not been forfeited under Paragraph 1.4(b) as of the end of the Performance Cycle (as defined in Paragraph 1.8(b)), Restricted Shares shall be forfeited, on a proportionate basis as determined by the Committee and as provided below, to extent the Company’s aggregate return to shareholders for the Performance Cycle, as measured by the Company’s Common Stock price, is less than 100% of the performance of the Russell 1000 Index for the Performance Cycle; provided, however, that all of the Restricted Shares shall be forfeited if the Committee determines that the Company’s aggregate return to shareholders for the Performance Cycle, as measured by the Company’s Common Stock price, is not at least 35% of the performance of the Russell 1000 Index for the Performance Cycle. If the Committee determines that the Company’s aggregate return to shareholders for the Performance Cycle is at least 35% of the performance of the Russell 1000 Index for the Performance Cycle, a portion of the Restricted Shares shall be forfeited that is equal to (i) the aggregate number of Restricted Shares reduced by (ii) the quotient of the aggregate number of Restricted Shares multiplied by the TDY Stock Price-Russell 1000 Percentage (as defined in Paragraph 1.8(c)) (but not more than 100%) (any fractional share resulting from this clause (ii) calculation shall be rounded up to the next whole share). Except as provided in Paragraph 1.4(c), any Restricted Shares which are not forfeited under this Paragraph

- 3 -


1.4(a) shall continue to be subject to the restrictions set forth in Paragraph 1.2 for the remainder of the Restricted Period.

(c)    If, during the Restricted Period, the Executive’s employment terminates due to his or her death, disability (as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee) or retirement pursuant to the retirement policy of the Company or its applicable subsidiaries prior to the expiration of the Performance Cycle, the Executive (or the Executive’s beneficiaries) shall continue to hold the Restricted Shares through the expiration of the Performance Cycle. At that time, the restrictions shall lapse with respect to a portion of the Restricted Shares equal to (i) the number of Restricted Shares that would not be subject to forfeiture under Paragraph 1.4(a) had the Executive remained employed by the Company through the end of the Performance Cycle multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months during which the Executive was employed by the Company from the beginning of the Performance Cycle until the date of the Executive’s termination of employment and the denominator of which is the total number of months in the Performance Cycle (any fractional share resulting from this calculation shall be rounded up to the next whole share). Any remaining Restricted Shares shall be forfeited as of the end of the Performance Cycle. If all of the Restricted Shares would have been forfeited under Paragraph 1.4(a), then all of the Restricted Shares shall be forfeited under this Paragraph 1.4(c) as of the end of the Performance Cycle.

(d)    In the event of any forfeiture under this Paragraph 1.4, the forfeited Restricted Shares shall be cancelled to the extent of any Restricted Shares that were forfeited.

1.5     Withholding .

(a)    The Committee shall determine the amount of any withholding or other tax required by law to be withheld or paid by the Company with respect to any income recognized by the Executive with respect to the Restricted Shares.

If the Executive fails to meet this tax withholding obligation to the satisfaction of the Company on or before the date the Executive files his or her election under Section 83(b), all rights of the Executive to the Restricted Shares shall forthwith terminate and be forfeited in their entirety.

(c)    If the Executive does not file an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to the Restricted Shares, the Executive shall meet the

- 4 -


applicable tax withholding obligation by paying the appropriate amount in cash to the Company or, with the approval of the Committee, by either (i) having the Company retain a number of Restricted Shares having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) as of the date of such retention, or (ii) delivering to the Company a number of previously acquired shares of Common Stock (other than shares of Common Stock credited to the Executive’s account under a Company sponsored defined contribution plan or shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding, but unexercised stock options) having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) determined as of the business day preceding the date of delivery to the Company, equal to the amount of such withholding obligation. If the Executive fails to meet this tax withholding obligation to the satisfaction of the Company, the withholding obligation shall be met as described in clause (i) above.

(d)    The Committee shall be authorized, in its sole discretion, to establish such rules and procedures relating to the use of shares of Common Stock to satisfy tax withholding obligations as it deems necessary or appropriate to facilitate and promote the conformity of the Executive’s transactions under the Program with Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, if such Rule is applicable to transactions by the Executive.

1.6     Change in Control .

SECTION 2: Vesting    
    
2.1    The Stock Options shall become exercisable cumulatively in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Stock Option Agreement (rounded down to the nearest whole share). On the death of the Optionee, all Stock Options shall become immediately and fully exercisable. Vesting of the Stock Options will be accelerated in
full on a Change of Control in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and Section 5 hereof.

2.2    The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the right (but shall not in any case be obligated), exercisable at any time after the date of grant, to vest the Stock Options, in whole or in part, prior to the time the Stock Options would otherwise vest under the terms of the Stock Option Agreement. The Committee is not obligated to exercise its discretion in any particular circumstance and is not obligated to make the same or similar determinations with respect to similarly situated participants in the Plan.



SECTION 3: Exercise and Withholding    


3.1     The Optionee shall exercise the Stock Options through Computershare either by contacting a customer service representative via telephone at (866) 867-6515, or via the internet, located on the Web at https://www.computershare.com/employee/
u s. The Company reserves the right to change the means of exercising options or the option administration at any time. The Optionee shall pay the full exercise price by: (a) delivering funds to Computershare in the form of cash or a check payable to the “Teledyne ESOP”; (b) delivering to Computershare one or more certificates for shares of Common Stock, together with a stock power executed in blank, having a Fair Market Value equal to the exercise price for the Stock Options being exercised; (c) delivering a combination of cash and Common Stock; or (d) at the Company’s discretion and subject to certain conditions, delivering payment to Computershare in accordance with a “cashless exercise” or “same-day sale” exercise program. Shares of Common Stock delivered or withheld in payment of the exercise price of the Stock


Options shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise.
    
3.2     Computershare, on behalf of the Company, shall be entitled to withhold (or secure payment from the Optionee in lieu of withholding) the amount of any withholding or other tax required by law to be withheld or paid by the Company with respect to any Option Shares under rules prescribed by the Committee. The Company may defer issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise unless indemnified to its satisfaction with respect to any such tax. The amount of such withholding or tax payment shall be determined by the Committee or its designee. At the Company’s discretion, the Optionee shall have the right to elect to meet the Optionee’s withholding requirement (a) by having withheld from the shares issuable upon the exercise of the Stock Options at the appropriate time that number of shares of Common Stock, rounded up to the next whole share, whose Fair Market Value is equal to the minimum amount of withholding taxes due, (b) by direct payment to Computershare of the amount of any taxes required to be withheld with respect to such exercise, or (c) by a combination of shares and cash. Regardless of any action the Company or Optionee’s employer (“Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Optionee’s participation in the Plan and leally applicable to Optionee (“Tax-Related Items”), Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by Optionee is and remains Optionee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Optionee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (a) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Option, including the grant, vesting, or exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired under the Plan and the receipt of dividends, if any; and (b) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the Option or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate Optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items, or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Optionee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the date of grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, Optionee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
No payment will be made to Optionee (or his or her estate or beneficiary) for an Option unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Company) have been made by Optionee with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items obligations of the Company and/or the Employer with respect to the Option. In this regard, Optionee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:
(i) withholding from Optionee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Optionee by the Company or the Employer; or (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Optionee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization); or (iii) withholding in Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Option; or (iv) surrendering already-owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the Tax-Related Items that have been held for such period of time to avoid adverse accounting consequences.
If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding Shares, the Optionee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares purchased for tax purposes, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan. Optionee shall pay to the Company or Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold as a result of Optionee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by one or more of the means previously described in this section. Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if Optionee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
If the Optionee is a statutory insider of the Company for the purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Committee may impose such limitations and restrictions as it deems necessary or appropriate with respect to the delivery or withholding of shares of Common Stock to meet tax withholding obligations.    

3.3     As soon as practicable after each exercise of Stock Options and compliance by the Optionee with all applicable conditions, including, but not limited to, the satisfaction of all withholding obligations, the Company will mail or cause to be delivered or electronically transmitted to the Optionee, at the address specified by the Optionee in writing, the number of shares of Common Stock which the Optionee shall be entitled to receive (subject to reduction for withholding, if any, as provided in Section 3.2) upon such exercise under the provisions of the Stock Option Agreement. Such shares, and any certificates issued to evidence such shares, shall be registered in the name of the Optionee or such other person or entity as the Optionee shall specify at the time such Stock Options are exercised.

3.4    The exercise of Stock Options is subject to the Company’s Insider Trading Policy.





SECTION 4: Termination of Employment    


4.1    In the event of Termination of Employment of the Optionee other than by reason of death, Disability, or Retirement, the right of the Optionee to exercise the Stock Options that the Optionee was entitled to exercise upon Termination of Employment shall terminate on the 30th day (or, if such day is not a business day, the next business day) after the date of such Termination of Employment, but in no event may such Stock Options be exercised after the expiration of the Option Period. To the extent the right to exercise all or any of the Stock Options has not vested as of the date of Termination of Employment, such right shall expire on the date of Termination of Employment.

4.2     In the event of an Optionee's Termination of Employment by reason of Disability, the Stock Options shall continue to vest in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Stock Option Agreement and the right of the Optionee to exercise the Stock Options shall continue, but in no event may such Stock Options be exercised after the expiration of the Option Period.
4.3    In the event of an Optionee’s Termination of Employment by reason of Retirement, the right of the Optionee to exercise the vested Stock Options shall continue, but in no event may such vested Stock Options be exercised after the expiration of the Option Period. Any unvested Stock Options are forfeited upon Retirement.

4.4     In the event of the death of the Optionee, all outstanding Stock Options shall vest in full and the right of the Optionee’s beneficiary (as defined in the Plan) to exercise the Stock Options shall terminate upon the expiration of twelve months from the date of the Optionee’s death, but in no event may such Stock Options be exercised after the expiration of the Option Period.

4.5     In the event of Termination of Employment, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the right (but shall not in any case be obligated), exercisable on or any time after the date of grant of the Stock Options, to permit the Stock Options to be exercised, in whole or in part, after the expiration date described in Section 4.1 or Section 4.4, but not after the expiration of the Option Period.



SECTION 5: Miscellaneous    

5.1     The number and kind of Option Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Stock Options and the exercise price for such shares shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other change in capitalization with a similar substantive effect upon the shares issuable upon the exercise of the Stock Options as set forth in the Plan. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), each outstanding Option shall be assumed or an equivalent Option substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Option, the Committee may cause any or all of such Options to become fully exercisable immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction and all forfeiture restrictions on any or all of such Options to lapse. If an Option is exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a Change in Control, the Committee shall notify the Optionee that the Option shall be fully exercisable beginning prior to the Change in Control contingent on the occurrence of the Change in Control, and the Option shall terminate on the Change in Control. An Option shall be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Option confers the right to purchase or receive, for each share of Common Stock subject to the Option immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares); provided , however , that if such consideration received in the Change in Control was not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent, the Committee may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option, for each share of Common Stock subject to an Option, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change in Control.

5.2     Whenever the word "Optionee" is used in any provision of the Stock Option Agreement under circumstances where the provision should logically be construed to apply to the executors, the administrators, or the person or persons to whom the Stock Options may be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof, the word "Optionee" shall be deemed to include such person or persons.

5.3     The Stock Options granted hereunder are not transferable by the Optionee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and are exercisable during the Optionee's lifetime only by the Optionee. Except as provided in this paragraph, no assignment or transfer of the Stock Options granted hereunder, or of the rights represented thereby, whether voluntary or involuntary, by the operation of law or otherwise (except by will or the laws of descent and distribution) shall vest in the assignee or transferee any interest or right herein whatsoever, but immediately upon any such assignment or transfer the Stock Options shall terminate and become of no further effect.

5.4     The Optionee shall not be deemed for any purpose to be a stockholder of the Company in respect of any shares as to which the Stock Options evidenced hereby shall not have been exercised, as herein provided, until such shares have been issued to Optionee by the Company hereunder.

5.5     The existence of the Stock Options shall not affect in any way the right or the power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company's capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks ahead of or affecting the Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

5.6     Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Optionee hereby agrees that the Optionee will not exercise the Stock Options, and that the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to the Optionee hereunder, if the exercise thereof or the issuance of such shares shall constitute a violation by the Optionee or the Company of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority. Any determination in this connection by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive. The Company shall in no event be obligated to register any securities pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (as in the same shall be in effect from time to time) or to take any other affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of the Stock Options or the issuance of shares pursuant thereto to comply with any law or regulation of any governmental authority.

5.7    The Optionee shall deliver to the Committee, upon demand by the Committee, at the time of delivery of Option Shares acquired pursuant to Stock Options evidenced hereby, a written representation that the shares to be acquired are to be acquired for investment and not for resale or with a view to the distribution thereof. Upon such demand, delivery of such representation prior to delivery of any such shares shall be a condition precedent to the right of Optionee to receive any shares. All certificates for Option Shares delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under any applicable federal or state securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be endorsed on any such certificates making appropriate reference to such restrictions.

5.8     No amounts of income received by an Optionee pursuant to the Stock Option Agreement shall be considered compensation for purposes of any pension or retirement plan, insurance plan or any other employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its affiliates, unless otherwise expressly provided in such plan.

5.9     Nothing in the Plan or in the Stock Option Agreement shall confer upon the Optionee the right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or affect any right that the Company or a Subsidiary may have to terminate the employment of the Optionee.

5.10     The Board may at any time terminate the Plan or any part thereof and may, from time to time, amend the Plan as it may deem advisable; provided, however, the termination or amendment of the Plan shall not, without the consent of the Optionee, adversely affect the Optionee's rights under the Stock Option Agreement.

5.18    The Stock Option Agreement may be executed by the Company by facsimile signature. The Stock Options will be subject to these terms and conditions and the Plan whether or not this Stock Option Agreement is executed by you or the Company.

Exhibit 10.4
Teledyne Technologies Incorporated
Performance Share Plan
(under the Amended and Restated 2014 Incentive Award Plan)
                        
Summary Plan Description
January 23, 2018

This document constitutes part of a Prospectus covering securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Plan Concept

The Performance Share Plan (PSP) is designed to reward executives and senior managers (“Participants”) for the achievement of the following pre-specified goals, measured over a three-year period:

Three-year aggregate operating profit
Three-year aggregate revenue
Three-year aggregate return to shareholders

Awards will be based on the goals of the corporation for all Participants.

Eligibility and Participation

Eligibility for this Plan is intended to be restricted to Participants whose actions most directly affect the long-term success of the Company. For each three-year award, participation will be determined based on nomination by the Chief Executive Officer and approval by the Personnel and Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The award is based on a stated percent of a Participant’s annual base salary. Participation in one cycle does not guarantee participation in any subsequent cycle.





Calculation of Targeted Performance Share Award

Awards will be denominated in 1/2 shares and 1/2 cash during the Performance Period, with the Targeted Performance Share Award calculated according to the following formula:

The Personnel and Compensation Committee shall have full power to revise and adjust the Targeted Performance Share Award for a three-year cycle and the positions eligible to participate in the Plan at any time during the three-year performance period.

In the event there are insufficient shares available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans, payments may be made in cash in lieu of shares.




Fractional shares will be rounded to the nearest whole share.

Performance Period

Performance will be measured over three fiscal years of the Company, with a new three-year Performance Period established every three years.

Performance Measurement

Performance will be measured based on the aggregate results over the three year Performance Period at the corporate level for all participants and will be based on the following performance measures:

Three-Year Aggregate Operating Profit – 40%
Three-Year Aggregate Revenue – 30%
Three-Year Aggregate Return to Shareholders – 30%

The Russell 1000 Index, in which Teledyne Technologies is included, will be used as the benchmark for return to shareholders.

At the beginning of each Performance Period, a matrix will be established and submitted for approval by the Personnel and Compensation Committee. This matrix will be used to determine the Performance Shares Award the Participant is entitled to, subject to a maximum Award of 200 percent of the “Target Opportunity”.

Clawback Policy

This PSP Award is subject to the provisions of any claw-back policy implemented by Teledyne, as contemplated by the Amended and Restated Teledyne Technologies Incorproated 2014 Incentive Award Plan, including, without limitation, the Executive Compensation Recoupment (Clawback) Policy adopted on February 25, 2014 or any successor policy.

Non-Transferability

Performance Share Awards are non-transferable.

Form of Payment

Payments from the Performance Share Plan will be in the form of cash and shares of Teledyne common stock (to the extent available under Teledyne’s stockholder approved equity award plans), with the payout taking the same form as the denomination of the award at the beginning of the Performance Period. Payments will be made over a three-year period and as soon as



practicable following the approval of the award amounts by the Personnel and Compensation Committee.

Termination of Employment

If a Participant terminates employment because of retirement or disability, such Participant’s PSP participation will be prorated based on the number of full months of employment, divided by 36. Awards will be paid at the same time as Awards are paid to active Participants. Whether the termination was because of retirement or disability will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

If a Participant terminates employment for any other reason, the current cycle’s incentive and any prior cycle’s installment payment or payments will be forfeited unless deemed otherwise by the Personnel and Compensation Committee.

Change of Control

In the event of a change in control, a Participant’s performance share plan participation will be pro-rated based on the number of full months of employment during the cycle, divided by 36. On a change in control, awards are paid thirty days following the change in control event.

Tax Consequences

Generally and currently taxes are not payable until the Performance Cycle is completed and the applicable installment is to be paid during the three-year period following the completion of the Performance Cycle. For U.S. Federal income tax purposes, the value of a Participant’s distribution is taxable as wages at ordinary income tax rates in the year in which it is received. State and local income tax laws generally provide for the same treatment. At the time each installment payment for a completed Performance Cycle is to be paid, additional information regarding taxes due will be distributed.

The Company is required to withhold applicable taxes at the time it makes any installment payment. The Company may require that Participants pay a sufficient amount to the Company at that time to permit the Company to satisfy its tax withholding obligations or the Company may permit the Participant to elect to pay taxes due with respect to an installment payment with awarded shares, awarded cash or a combination thereof.
