Shareholders’ Meeting
|
|
|
Breakthrough technologies have been the driving force behind national security, economic strength and social cohesion. And they will continue to transform tomorrow.
At Raytheon, we’re continually pushing the boundaries of technology, working at the forefront of quantum physics, artificial intelligence and machine learning, hypersonics, cybersecurity and much more. Together, we’re advancing defense strategy, protecting people and infrastructure through proven solutions that make the world a safer place — faster than ever before.
April 16, 2019
On behalf of Raytheon’s Board of Directors and leadership team, I cordially invite you to attend the Raytheon Company Annual Meeting of Shareholders on Thursday, May 30, 2019.
Raytheon’s growth strategy continued to deliver results in 2018, as we set new company records for full-year net sales of $27.1 billion, bookings of $32.2 billion and operating cash flow of $3.4 billion. In addition, we ended 2018 with a record backlog of $42.4 billion, which positions us well for the future. Our strong balance sheet and cash flow provide us with the financial flexibility to continue our capital deployment strategy. We are focused on deploying capital in ways that create value for our shareholders and customers, including making strategic internal investments to support our growth, paying a sustainable and competitive dividend, reducing our share count and making discretionary pension contributions from time-to-time.
Our success starts at the top, with our engaged and active Board of Directors, who emphasize results and a corporate culture grounded in our company values. These values — trust, respect, collaboration, innovation and accountability — are exemplified by our Board, senior leaders and global team. They guide the way we engage with colleagues, customers, investors and other stakeholders, the manner in which we make decisions, and our unwavering focus on meeting our commitments. Additionally, our values underlie our ongoing strategic approach to corporate responsibility, which supports sustainability, promotes an inclusive workplace and inspires the next generation of engineers and technologists.
We also remain committed to sound, contemporary corporate governance, as illustrated by the significant refreshment undergone by the Board over the last five years. In pursuing director succession, the Board has identified attributes, experiences and skills best suited to supporting Raytheon’s long-term strategy. Integral to this process has been the recognition of the special value of diversity in providing a broad range of perspectives and insights. Board refreshment was notably bolstered in 2018 with the addition of three new directors — Adriane Brown (included in last year’s proxy), Ellen Pawlikowski and Marta Stewart.
I encourage you to review this proxy statement and to vote your proxy as soon as possible so that your shares will be represented at the meeting.
Thank you for your continued confidence in Raytheon and our global team.
Sincerely,
THOMAS A. KENNEDY Chairman and Chief Executive Officer |
Raytheon’s corporate culture is grounded in our company values: trust, respect, collaboration, innovation and accountability. These values drive a culture known for:

Ethics and accountability, encouraging reporting and ensuring non-retaliation |

OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM
The Management Development and Compensation Committee (MDCC) designed our executive compensation program to attract and retain highly-qualified executives, motivate our executives to achieve our overall business objectives, reward individual performance, and align our executives’ interests with those of our shareholders. The program’s primary direct compensation elements are base salary, annual cash incentives, and long-term equity incentives. The MDCC reviews the compensation program on an ongoing basis, and regularly receives input regarding the program from its independent compensation consultant and shareholders.
CEO Compensation |
Other Named Executive Officer Compensation (1) |
(1) |
Base salary includes lump-sum payments to Messrs. Wajsgras and Yuse in 2018 in lieu of base salary merit increases. These amounts appear in the “Bonus” column of the Summary Compensation Table on page 59. |
Most of our executives’ compensation is at risk and varies based on performance. Due to Raytheon’s strong financial performance, our annual cash incentive (RBI) was funded, and our long-term equity performance plan (LTPP) paid out, above predetermined targets. Our Named Executive Officers, or NEOs, also achieved strong results against their individual performance goals in 2018.
Consistent with our compensation objectives, our Named Executive Officers received the following compensation in 2018:

Mr. Lawrence stepped down as an executive officer on March 30, 2019, and will retire from Raytheon effective July 14, 2019. Mr. Yuse retired from Raytheon effective December 31, 2018. |

6 RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT | PROXY SUMMARY |
COMPENSATION HAS BEEN TIED TO STRONG LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE
Our executive compensation is tied to Raytheon’s performance via key financial metrics that have driven Raytheon’s strong results and led to increased shareholder value over the long term. Over the course of our CEO’s five-year tenure, and as evidenced by the chart below, Raytheon has delivered strong TSR performance on both an absolute basis and relative to our core peer group and the S&P 500 Index.
5 Year Cumulative Total Shareholder Return |

For a complete discussion of our executive compensation program, see the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement.
COMMITMENT TO SHAREHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
9 YEARS
36.6%
|
During 2018, the MDCC considered points raised by shareholders and consulted with its independent compensation consultant and management. After careful deliberation, the MDCC and Raytheon made the following changes:
● |
Beginning in 2019, the MDCC increased the weight of performance-based LTPP awards for a long-term incentive mix of 60% / 40% between LTPP and time-based restricted stock. This change to mix includes all NEOs and other executive officers. |
● |
We enhanced our compensation program disclosures regarding annual RBI and LTPP performance goals (see pages 36, 48 and 52–54), including additional information on year-over-year RBI targets, the threshold and maximum performance for RBI awards, and the threshold performance for LTPP awards. |

16 RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT | CORPORATE GOVERNANCE |
The Board of Directors is committed to being a leader in corporate governance. The Board believes that good governance enhances shareholder value and goes beyond simply complying with legal requirements. It means taking an integrated and collaborative approach that promotes integrity, accountability, transparency, and the highest ethical standards. To that end, the Board has adopted a number of policies and practices to ensure effective governance, including our comprehensive Governance Principles. See “Governance Documents” on page 27 below for information on obtaining copies of the Governance Principles and related materials.
The Board believes the most effective leadership structure for Raytheon at this time is one with a combined Chairman and CEO, coupled with an independent Lead Director. Having a combined Chairman and CEO promotes a cohesive vision and strategy for Raytheon and enhances our ability to execute effectively. We have found that this structure is particularly advantageous for our international business because many of our foreign government customers value unified leadership and a single ultimate executive decision-maker.
The Board created the Lead Director role as an integral part of a leadership structure that promotes strong, independent oversight of Raytheon’s management and affairs. The Lead Director, who must be independent, has the following primary responsibilities:
Working with the Chairman to develop and approve Board agendas and meeting schedules; |
Advising the Chairman as to the quality, quantity and timeliness of the information sent to the Board; |
Developing agendas for and chairing executive sessions of the Board (in which the independent directors meet without management); |
Attending, to the extent feasible, the regularly-scheduled meetings of each of the standing committees; and |
Communicating periodically on an individual basis with each of the other independent directors and acting as a liaison between them and the Chairman and CEO. |
Vernon E. Clark, who has served as the Lead Director since May 2013, will be retiring in May 2019.
The Board annually reviews the role and function of the Lead Director. Our Governance Principles provide that the Lead Director should serve an initial two-year term, and may serve up to three additional one-year terms as determined by the Board. In May 2018, the Board waived the term limit provision to reappoint Mr. Clark as Lead Director to serve one more year, until May 2019, when he will be retiring from the Board. This reflects Mr. Clark’s special value to Raytheon serving in this capacity, and also aligns with the Governance and Nominating Committee’s ongoing leadership succession planning as the Committee prepares to recommend to the independent directors the appointment of a new Lead Director to succeed Mr. Clark.
BOARD LEADERSHIP SUCCESSION PLANNING
The Governance and Nominating Committee has devoted considerable time and attention to succession planning relating to membership and leadership of Board committees and the Lead Director role. In its planning process, the Committee takes into account a number of factors, including individual director self-assessments, the nature and duration of each director’s experiences while serving on the Board, individual interests, and each director’s background outside of Raytheon. This process has resulted, in recent years, in changes in the membership of committees and the leadership of the Audit, Governance and Nominating, and Public Policy and Corporate Responsibility Committees, and a thoughtful approach to future leadership succession in anticipation of Mr. Clark’s upcoming retirement.
The Board is responsible for overseeing the management of the business and affairs of Raytheon. Among the Board’s most significant responsibilities are the oversight of Raytheon’s long-term strategy and management of risk, and the selection of the CEO and planning for the CEO’s succession.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE | RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT 17 |
THE BOARD’S ROLE IN STRATEGY
The Board recognizes the importance of ensuring that our overall business strategy is designed to create long-term value for Raytheon shareholders. As a result, the Board maintains an active oversight role in formulating, planning and implementing Raytheon’s strategy. We have a robust annual strategic planning process during which elements of our business, financial, and investor strategies and plans, as well as near- and long-term initiatives, are developed and reviewed. This annual process culminates with a full-day Board session to review Raytheon’s overall strategy with our senior leadership team and other executives. In addition to our business strategy, the Board reviews Raytheon’s five-year financial plan, the first year of which serves as the basis for the Annual Operating Plan for the upcoming year.
The Board regularly considers the progress of and challenges to Raytheon’s strategy and related risks throughout the year. At each regularly-scheduled Board meeting, the Chairman and CEO has an executive session with the Board to discuss strategic and other significant business developments since the last meeting.
THE BOARD’S ROLE IN RISK MANAGEMENT
Our risk management program covers the full range of material risks to Raytheon, including strategic, operational, financial, and compliance and reputational risks. The Board oversees Raytheon’s risk management program and allocates certain oversight responsibilities to its committees. Each committee regularly reports to the Board on risk matters under its purview. The Board periodically reviews our risk management policies, processes and controls (including enterprise risk management, or ERM), and the Audit Committee from time to time separately reviews the Board’s approach to risk oversight.
Management carries out the daily processes, controls and practices of our risk management program, many of which are embedded in our operations. In addition, as part of our ERM process, management identifies, assesses, prioritizes and develops mitigation plans for Raytheon’s top risks. The Board and the committees regularly review and discuss significant risks with management, including through annual strategic discussions and regular reviews of annual operating plans, financial performance, merger and acquisition opportunities, market environment updates, international business activities, and presentations on specific risks.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS | ||
oversees strategic and significant operational risks, such as operating and financial plan risks; legal and regulatory compliance risks, including those related to litigation, government investigations and enforcement actions, disputes, risk exposures and governance issues; and risks related to prospective mergers and acquisitions. | ||
Audit Committee oversees risks related to financial reporting, internal controls, internal audit, auditor independence, and related areas of law and regulation. |
Governance and Nominating Committee oversees risks related to governance issues. |
Management Development and Compensation Committee oversees risks related to compensation policies and practices and talent acquisition, retention and development. |
Public Policy and Corporate Responsibility Committee oversees various aspects of U.S. and international regulatory compliance, social responsibility, environmental matters, export/ import controls and crisis management. |
Special Activities Committee oversees cybersecurity risks and risks related to our classified business. |
18 RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT | CORPORATE GOVERNANCE |
CYBERSECURITY OVERSIGHT
As a leading provider of cybersecurity, defense and other products and services to government and commercial customers, Raytheon is highly focused on cybersecurity risks. Given our business, the Board has placed oversight responsibility with the Special Activities Committee for cybersecurity risks relating to Raytheon’s internal systems as well as for our products, services and programs for customers. Current members of this committee include individuals who have served as Chief of Naval Operations, National Security Adviser to the President, Director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, Commander of the Air Force Materiel Command, Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Deputy Secretary of Defense.
THE BOARD’S ROLE IN MANAGEMENT SUCCESSION PLANNING
The Board’s Management Development and Compensation Committee (MDCC) and the full Board periodically review succession planning for the Chairman and CEO and other senior leadership positions. These reviews include consideration and assessment of key leadership talent throughout Raytheon, and roles for which it may be necessary to consider external candidates. The Board also reviews Raytheon’s talent strategy for critical positions and has regular opportunities to interact with key leaders and high-potential talent through presentations, meetings and other events. The Board’s carefully considered planning is evident in the process by which Thomas Kennedy was ultimately elected as Chairman and CEO. Mr. Kennedy, who has had a 36-year career with Raytheon, previously served in a series of positions of increasing responsibility, including President of Raytheon’s Integrated Defense Systems business and Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.
DIRECTOR CANDIDATE CONSIDERATION AND BOARD REFRESHMENT
The Board and its Governance and Nominating Committee are committed to having an engaged and independent Board that upholds the strictest ethical standards. Each Raytheon director is expected to:
● | Have impeccable character and the highest integrity; |
● | Possess substantial experience and expertise of particular relevance and importance to Raytheon; |
● | Contribute to a balanced Board with the diverse set of attributes, skills and experience necessary to maximize shareholder value; |
● | Represent the interests of our shareholders as a whole, and not particular special interests; and |
● | Devote significant time to the duties of a director. |
EVALUATING BOARD CAPABILITIES AND DETERMINING NEEDS
When evaluating each director nominee and the potential needs and composition of the Board as a whole, the Governance and Nominating Committee looks for individuals with the potential to make significant contributions that will enhance the Board’s ability to continue to serve the long-term interests of Raytheon and its shareholders.
To that end, the Governance and Nominating Committee has identified critical attributes, experiences, qualifications, and skills, and uses a matrix to ensure each is adequately represented among our directors. The Committee regularly reviews the director skills matrix to confirm that it appropriately reflects the attributes most needed to support Raytheon’s long-term strategy.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE | RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT 19 |
In light of Raytheon’s current emphasis on international growth, emerging customer needs, technological innovation, and cybersecurity, as well as our complex and evolving business and operations generally, including a national security focus and classified and other regulatory requirements, the Governance and Nominating Committee believes the following attributes, experiences, qualifications and skills should be represented on the Board:
Public Company CEO | Chief executive officer of a publicly-traded company | |
International Operations and Sales | Manager of overseas business operations and sales or a large organization with significant overseas operations and sales | |
Cyber/Software | Cybersecurity or software professional or leader in a business or organization in which cybersecurity solutions or software development is a principal focus | |
Legal/Regulatory/Compliance | Attorney, regulator, compliance officer or senior leader of a large organization responsible for legal, compliance or regulatory matters | |
Financial/Accounting Expertise | Principal of an accounting, financial or investment firm, a CFO or other senior accounting or finance officer in a large organization, or a CEO to whom a CFO reports | |
Engineering/Science/Information Technology | Engineer or science, technology or IT professional, or manager of a large organization in which engineering, science, technology or IT is a principal focus | |
Risk Management | CEO, CFO or senior leader in a large organization with significant responsibility for risk management | |
M&A/Strategy Development | CEO, CFO or senior business leader that oversees M&A or strategy, or principal in an investment banking or business consulting firm | |
Corporate Governance/Public Company Board or Committee Leadership | Public company board chair, lead director, presiding director or board committee chair | |
Operating Expertise | Business leader with profit and loss responsibility for operational execution, or military leader with experience executing operations | |
Aerospace/Defense Industry Expertise | Military service, aerospace and defense business experience, or civilian government service involving significant aerospace, defense, intelligence or security matters | |
U.S. Department of Defense/Government | Military or other federal government service | |
Commercial Business | Manager of a large business primarily focused on commercial markets and customers |
BOARD REFRESHMENT — DIRECTOR SUCCESSION AND TENURE
As a key component of ensuring that the Board reflects an appropriate mix of attributes, experiences, qualifications and skills, the Governance and Nominating Committee regularly reviews director tenure and succession. The Committee believes that Raytheon benefits from the deep Company knowledge and continuity of longer-tenured directors complemented by the fresh perspectives of newer directors. Looking ahead to future retirements, the Committee engages in an ongoing succession planning process to identify the types of talent needed for the Board’s continuing optimal effectiveness. Over the last five years, the Board has undergone significant refreshment, resulting in a lower average tenure, younger average age, and broadened diversity of backgrounds.

The Board has achieved a balance of directors who have served for a number of years and have a deep knowledge of Raytheon’s business and operations and newer directors who lend fresh perspectives. |
BOARD DIVERSITY | |
Central to the Board refreshment efforts over the last five years has been a recognition of the special value of diversity in providing a broad range of perspectives and insights. The Board has demonstrated its commitment to diversity, most recently with the addition of Adriane M. Brown, Marta R. Stewart and Ellen M. Pawlikowski. Of the thirteen director nominees, five are women and seven represent ethnic or gender diversity, or both. |
COMMITTEE REFRESHMENT AND COMPOSITION
In addition to refreshing the Board’s composition generally, the Board regularly adjusts its committee chair and membership assignments. This promotes strong committee leadership and independence as well as director development and succession planning. In the last three years, Tracy A. Atkinson became the Chair of the Audit Committee, Stephen J. Hadley became the Chair of the Governance and Nominating Committee, and Letitia A. Long became the Chair of the Public Policy and Corporate Responsibility Committee.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE | RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT 21 |
The Board has adopted specific director independence criteria, consistent with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) listing standards, to assist it in making determinations regarding the independence of its members. These criteria, which are detailed in our Governance Principles, are available as described below under “Governance Documents.” A director is considered independent only if the Board determines the director does not have a material relationship, directly or indirectly, with Raytheon.
The Board considers the independence of its members at least annually, in part by reviewing Raytheon’s relationships with organizations with which our directors are affiliated. The Board has determined that no director other than Mr. Kennedy, the Chairman and CEO, has, directly or indirectly, a material relationship with Raytheon, nor does any other director have a direct or indirect material interest in any transaction involving Raytheon. Every director other than Mr. Kennedy satisfies our independence criteria.
In connection with its review and determination of director independence, the Board considered certain non-material relationships and transactions involving directors, including:
● | Johnson Controls International plc, where Mr. Oliver serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, provides products and services to Raytheon, including fire protection and security systems, industrial equipment and services; |
● |
State Street Global Markets, LLC (SSGM), a subsidiary of State Street Corporation, where Ms. Atkinson serves as Executive Vice President and Chief Compliance Officer, provides purely transactional processing services to Raytheon pension plans in the ordinary operation of the plans; and |
● | BMC Software, Inc. (BMC), where Mr. Beauchamp served as Chairman until his retirement in October 2018 and currently serves as Interim President and Chief Executive Officer after being called out of retirement, provides software licenses and related services to Raytheon. |
In all cases, the transactions occurred in the ordinary course of business; none of the directors had any direct or indirect material interest in, or received any special compensation in connection with, the transactions or relationships; and the amounts paid in the transactions were well below thresholds prescribed under the NYSE standards and our Governance Principles.
BOARD AND COMMITTEE EVALUATION PROCESS
BOARD AND COMMITTEE EVALUATIONS
The Governance and Nominating Committee leads an annual performance evaluation of the Board and each Board committee as described below.
SEPTEMBER – OCTOBER | OCTOBER – NOVEMBER | NOVEMBER | JULY | |||||||
Each director completes a Board self-evaluation questionnaire and a separate questionnaire for each committee on which the director serves. The Board-specific questionnaire requests ratings and solicits detailed suggestions for improving Board and committee governance processes and effectiveness. The committee-specific questionnaires are tailored to the respective committees’ roles and responsibilities and any applicable legal or regulatory obligations. |
Self-evaluation questionnaire results are compiled and summarized by the Office of the Corporate Secretary. The summaries include all specific director comments, without attribution. Each director receives the Board self-evaluation summary and the self-evaluation summary for each committee on which the director serves. The Lead Director and the Chairman receive all of the self-evaluation summaries. |
Committee self-evaluation results are discussed by each committee, and Board self-evaluation results are discussed by the full Board, in each case in executive session. Each committee and the Board identify areas for further consideration and opportunities for improvement, and implement plans to address those matters. |
Each committee and the full Board convene in executive session to review progress with respect to any areas identified for further consideration. | |||||||

The Board views self-evaluation of Board and committee performance as an integral part of its commitment to continuous improvement. This process has prompted a number of changes to the Governance Principles, committee charters, and Board governance practices generally. By way of example, the self-evaluation exercise led the Board to enhance processes related to identifying and recruiting director candidates, executive succession planning, and director education. The Governance and Nominating Committee periodically reviews the evaluation process and considers ways to augment it.
INDIVIDUAL DIRECTOR SELF-ASSESSMENTS
The Governance and Nominating Committee also conducts periodic individual director self-assessments to solicit director input on the following:
Current and potential future committee assignments; | Interest in future committee chair/Lead Director roles and recommendations for fellow directors to serve in those roles; | Self-assessment of current skills and experience, and proposed development goals and plans to enhance the director’s value to the Board and committees; and | Possible development activities and educational resources needed to facilitate achievement of those goals. |
Each non-employee director then serving on the Board was asked to complete an Individual Director Self-Assessment Questionnaire in 2017. The Governance and Nominating Committee is planning to conduct individual self-assessments in 2019. The self-assessment questionnaire results have informed the Governance and Nominating Committee’s efforts relating to director development and Board/committee leadership succession planning.
Under the Board’s supervision, we make a concerted effort to engage with shareholders to ensure we consider their views and address their interests. In addition to meeting with investors to discuss our performance, strategy and operations, we also regularly engage with our shareholders to solicit their views on governance and executive compensation matters. Environmental and social topics often are raised in these conversations as well.
KEY ELEMENTS OF GOVERNANCE AND COMPENSATION OUTREACH
The hallmarks of our shareholder engagement program are described below.
Two formal governance/compensation outreach efforts annually since 2010 | In addition to communicating with shareholders during our proxy season in the spring, we formally engage with our shareholders in the fall to promote a constructive dialogue and provide opportunities to discuss governance and executive compensation matters during a less hectic time of the year. | |
Engagement with significant portion of shareholder base | Historically, we have communicated each year with shareholders typically representing between 30% and 40% of Raytheon shares. | |
Board/Committee review of outreach | We review our outreach efforts and the shareholder input we receive with our Governance and Nominating Committee at least semi-annually. | |
Consideration of shareholder views | Shareholder input is a key consideration for the Board and management in reviewing the executive compensation program and governance initiatives. |
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE | RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT 23 |
GOVERNANCE INITIATIVES
Over the past several years, shareholder input solicited during our outreach efforts has contributed greatly to shaping a number of our governance initiatives. Key governance topics on which we have solicited input from our shareholders include:
● | Board composition and disclosure regarding director attributes, skills and experiences; |
● | The MDCC’s approach to long-term incentive awards; |
● | Proxy Access By-Law; |
● | Shareholder right to act by written consent; |
● | Shareholder right to call a special meeting; |
● | Enhanced proxy statement executive compensation and governance disclosures; |
● | Exclusive forum by-law; and |
● | Enhanced political contributions and lobbying expenditures disclosure. |
In response to shareholder input, in recent years, we have introduced a revamped proxy statement that makes key information more accessible and understandable. The proxy statement works in combination with our annual report and corporate responsibility report to more clearly illustrate how the Board and executive leadership set a tone at the top that promotes integrity, accountability, transparency and the highest ethical standards. Each year, we consider ways in which we can make our proxy disclosure even more informative and useful. Thus, this proxy statement builds on past improvements to expand our disclosure regarding executive compensation incentives and corporate responsibility initiatives, linking to our annual Corporate Responsibility Report.
COMPENSATION PROGRAM
In regular outreach discussions, we request shareholder input on Raytheon’s executive compensation program, including design elements and metrics, to ensure that the program reflects shareholders’ interests and objectives. Shareholder input has been an important element in the MDCC’s ongoing review of executive compensation and Raytheon’s approach to proxy disclosure.
In part due to shareholder input, beginning in 2019 the MDCC changed the mix of executive long-term incentive awards to increase the percentage that are performance-based versus time-based. We also enhanced our compensation program disclosures regarding our performance goals.
GOVERNANCE POLICIES AND PRACTICES
MAJORITY VOTING FOR DIRECTORS
Our by-laws contain a “majority of votes cast” standard for uncontested elections of directors, meaning that a nominee is elected only if the number of votes cast for the nominee exceeds the number of votes cast against the nominee. In contested elections (that is, those in which the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected), the voting standard is a plurality of votes cast.
Our Governance Principles provide that incumbent directors in an uncontested election who fail to receive the requisite majority of votes cast “for” their election must tender a resignation to the Governance and Nominating Committee. The Committee will make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject such a resignation. The Board will act on resignations and publicly disclose its decisions and the rationale behind them within 90 days from the date meeting results are certified. Any director whose resignation is under consideration will abstain from participating in both the Governance and Nominating Committee’s recommendation and the Board’s ultimate decision. If a resignation is not accepted by the Board, the director may continue to serve.
SERVICE ON OTHER BOARDS
Our Governance Principles limit the number of public company boards on which a director may serve to four (including Raytheon), or two in the case of a director who currently serves as an executive officer of a public company (including, if applicable, the board of the company where the director is employed). This latter limitation applies to our CEO. Additionally, we have established a policy requiring all officers and employees to obtain written approval before joining the board of another business entity to ensure that such service is not contrary to Raytheon’s interests.
A director who is considering joining the board of another public company must discuss the proposed board service with the Chairman of the Board and the Chair of the Governance and Nominating Committee, and may not accept the position until advised that service on the other board has been approved. A director also must notify, and obtain preapproval from,
24 RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT | CORPORATE GOVERNANCE |
the Governance and Nominating Committee before joining the board of a privately-held, for-profit company and before accepting any paid consulting or advisory engagement. In conducting its reviews, the Governance and Nominating Committee considers whether the proposed board or other engagement would conflict with a Raytheon policy or service on the Raytheon board; the time required for Raytheon board and committee attendance, preparation and participation; and other factors it deems appropriate.
CODE OF CONDUCT AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY
Raytheon’s Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest Policy cover a wide range of issues and serve as the foundation of our ethics and compliance program.
The Code of Conduct provides guidance on avoiding conflicts of interest, insider trading, discrimination and harassment, confidentiality, and compliance with laws and regulations applicable to the conduct of our business. All officers, directors, employees and representatives are required to comply with the Code of Conduct, and are subject to disciplinary action, including termination, for failure to do so. We provide ethics education for directors, officers and employees. Any amendments to the Code of Conduct, or the grant of a waiver from a provision of the Code of Conduct requiring disclosure under applicable Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules, will be disclosed on our website.
Under our Conflict of Interest Policy, directors, officers and employees are expected to bring to the attention of the Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary or the Vice President – Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer any actual or potential conflict of interest. There are four ways that anyone may report matters of concern to Raytheon’s Ethics Office:
1. |
through our anonymous, confidential toll-free EthicsLine at 1-800-423-0210; |
2. |
on-line through the anonymous, confidential Raytheon Ethics Check Line, https://raytheonethicscheckline.webline.saiglobal.com; |
3. |
by writing to the Ethics Office, Raytheon Company, 870 Winter Street, Waltham, Massachusetts 02451; or |
4. |
by submitting comments on our website at www.raytheon.com in the section entitled “Contact the Ethics Office,” under the heading “Investors/Corporate Governance/Contact the Company.” |
TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS
Our Board has adopted a written Related Party Transactions Policy. Related party transactions include all transactions and relationships involving amounts in excess of $120,000 between Raytheon (including subsidiaries) on one side, and any director, executive officer, 5% shareholder, or an immediate family member of any of the foregoing (“interested person”) and certain entities in which an interested person has a significant interest, on the other. Under the policy, the Governance and Nominating Committee reviews the material facts of all related party transactions identified by the Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary and determines whether to approve, disapprove or ratify each transaction or relationship involved. Certain transactions and relationships have been preapproved for purposes of the policy, including (a) executive officer compensation approved by the Board, (b) director compensation, (c) certain relatively small transactions between Raytheon and other companies, and (d) certain charitable contributions made by Raytheon.
Mses. Atkinson and Pawlikowski and Messrs. Hadley, Kennedy, Paliwal and Winnefeld served as members of boards of, or were otherwise affiliated with, charitable or other non-profit organizations to which Raytheon made contributions in 2018 (other than through a trade association membership or our matching gift and charitable awards program). These contributions were consistent with all company policies, and no organization received, in the aggregate, more than $275,000.
In a Schedule 13G filing made with the SEC, BlackRock, Inc., including its subsidiaries, reported beneficial ownership of 8.0% of our outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2018. Under a previously established business relationship, BlackRock has provided investment management services for the benefit of the Raytheon Master Benefit Pension Trust. For providing such investment management services, BlackRock received fees of $4.2 million in 2018. The Governance and Nominating Committee has reviewed this relationship and approved it on the basis that BlackRock’s ownership of Raytheon stock plays no role in the business relationship between the two companies and the engagement of BlackRock has been on terms no more favorable than terms that would be available to unaffiliated third parties under the same or similar circumstances.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE | RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT 25 |
POLICY ON SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLANS
We do not have a shareholder rights plan. The Board will obtain shareholder approval before adopting any shareholder rights plan unless the Board, in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, determines that, under the circumstances then existing, it would be in the best interests of Raytheon and our shareholders to adopt a rights plan without prior shareholder approval. If a rights plan is adopted by the Board without prior shareholder approval, the plan must provide that it will expire within one year of adoption unless ratified by shareholders.
RESTATEMENT CLAWBACK POLICY
Our Governance Principles contain a Restatement Clawback Policy that gives the Board the right to recover Results-Based Incentive Plan payments, Long-Term Performance Plan awards, and restricted stock awards made on or after January 1, 2009, to any elected officer, to the extent that such payments or awards were inflated due to erroneous financial statements substantially caused by the officer’s knowing or intentionally fraudulent or illegal conduct. The policy is designed to increase the likelihood that Raytheon will be successful if we seek to recover the portion of an executive’s incentive compensation attributable to inflated financial results caused by the executive’s malfeasance.
DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS BY SHAREHOLDERS
Nominations for director may be made by the Board, by a Board committee, or by a shareholder or shareholders entitled to vote who comply with the relevant provisions in Raytheon’s by-laws.
SHAREHOLDER NOMINATIONS VIA PROXY ACCESS BY-LAW (SECTION 2.11)
The proxy access by-law sets forth conditions under which shareholders may include nominees in Raytheon’s Annual Meeting proxy materials. The proxy access by-law prescribes the terms summarized below.
● |
It is available to shareholders that have beneficially owned 3% or more of Raytheon’s outstanding stock continuously for at least three years. |
– |
Loaned stock is counted as owned, subject to certain provisions related to power to recall. |
– |
The 3% ownership threshold can be satisfied by up to twenty shareholders acting in concert. |
● |
Nominating shareholders need not continue to hold their shares after the Annual Meeting for which nominees are submitted. |
● |
The permissible number of nominees is equal to the greater of 20% (rounded down) of all directors or two (“20% or 2”). |
– |
The 20% or 2 cap is not reduced by the number of previous proxy access nominees elected and re-nominated by the Board, but is reduced by the number of other nominees nominated under the standard advance notice by-law described below. |
● |
A proxy access nominee will not be disqualified because he or she receives third-party compensation, subject to disclosure requirements. |
● |
Notice of nominees who satisfy the proxy access by-law must be received by Raytheon during a prescribed time period, which, for the 2020 Annual Meeting, will be between November 18, 2019, and December 18, 2019. |
SHAREHOLDER NOMINATIONS OTHER THAN VIA PROXY ACCESS BY-LAW (SECTION 2.7)
Shareholders also may nominate people for election to the Board at an annual or special meeting of shareholders in accordance with the standard advance notice by-law provisions. For our 2020 Annual Meeting, we must receive this notice between January 31, 2020, and March 1, 2020. We are not obligated to include any such nomination in our proxy materials.
Shareholders wishing to propose a director candidate for consideration by the Governance and Nominating Committee may do so by sending the candidate’s name, biographical information, and qualifications to the Committee Chair, in care of the Corporate Secretary, Raytheon Company, 870 Winter Street, Waltham, Massachusetts 02451.
The Committee reviews each candidate’s qualifications in relation to the director qualification criteria contained in our Governance Principles, and determines whether the candidate should be nominated for election to the Board.
26 RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT | CORPORATE GOVERNANCE |
DIRECTOR ORIENTATION, DEVELOPMENT AND EDUCATION
Orientation |
Under the oversight of the Governance and Nominating Committee, Raytheon has long provided each new director with a formal orientation program. As part of their orientation, new directors visit key Raytheon sites and also become familiar with the resources available to them, such as governance materials, significant policies and procedures, overviews of Raytheon’s businesses and functions, and membership in the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD). In 2017, the Governance and Nominating Committee expanded this program to require a customized orientation plan for each new director, tailored to the director’s specific background. These customized plans address substantive areas where directors do not have significant experience and prepare directors for their initial Board committee assignments. As a result of a customized orientation plan, a new director might, for example:
●
Participate in corporate briefings on Raytheon-specific topics;
●
Visit and attend briefings at company operations sites; and
●
Participate in Director Education programs sponsored by leading organizations such as NACD, Harvard Business School, and the Stanford/University of Chicago Directors’ Consortium.
|
|
Director
Development |
Directors are encouraged (through the individual self-assessment process and otherwise) to identify development goals, activities and resources that will help them satisfy their obligations to the Board and the committees on which they serve. Individual director development is a key consideration for the Governance and Nominating Committee when it determines committee assignments and engages in Board/committee leadership succession planning. |
|
Ongoing
Director Education |
Our director education program consists of visits to Raytheon facilities and education regarding our Code of Conduct and other policies and practices relevant to our business and operations. Periodically, we provide updates on topics of interest to the Board. We also encourage directors to attend external director education programs at Raytheon’s expense. We regularly provide the Board with descriptions of a variety of upcoming director education programs that may be of interest, together with assessments from directors who participated in such programs in the past. |

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND BOARD COMMITTEES
The Board has six standing committees: Audit, Governance and Nominating, Management Development and Compensation, Public Policy and Corporate Responsibility, Special Activities, and Executive. The charter of each committee (other than the Executive Committee) is published on our website. See “Corporate Governance — Governance Documents” on page 27 for information on obtaining a copy.
During 2018, the Board met formally seven times, and engaged in other discussions and actions apart from these meetings. The non-employee directors, all of whom are independent, meet in executive session chaired by the Lead Director at the conclusion of each regularly-scheduled Board meeting. In addition, committee members generally meet in executive session, without management present, at the conclusion of regularly-scheduled committee meetings.
All incumbent directors attended at least 75% of the total of all Board and applicable committee meetings. All directors standing for election are expected to attend the 2019 Annual Meeting. In 2018, all of the directors who were nominated for election at that time attended the Annual Meeting.
The Board’s six standing committees are described below. Each committee, other than the Executive Committee, is composed entirely of independent directors. The Executive Committee, which is not required to meet, is made up of the Chairman, the Lead Director, and the chair of each of the standing committees.

PROPOSAL 2: ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION | RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT 31 |
PROPOSAL 2:
ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION
(Item No. 2 on the Proxy Card)
The Board is proposing an advisory vote for our shareholders to approve the compensation program for our Named Executive Officers (NEOs) as described on pages 33 to 72 in this proxy statement under the heading “Executive Compensation.” While this vote is non-binding, the Board and the MDCC will review and consider the results. Raytheon will also continue to regularly engage with shareholders to solicit their views on executive compensation and other matters. As in the past, the MDCC will consider this feedback for incorporation into aspects of our executive compensation program. The Board recommends you vote “yes” on the following resolution:
“Resolved, that the shareholders approve the compensation of the named executive officers described in this proxy statement under ‘Executive Compensation,’ which section includes the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables, and accompanying narrative disclosure.”
Raytheon’s compensation program rests on the key principles summarized below.
PRINCIPLE | MORE INFORMATION | |
Pay-for-performance: Executive compensation is tied to Raytheon and individual performance over both the near and long term. | Pages 4-6 and 34-54 | |
Shareholder alignment: We ensure that the interests of executives are closely aligned with those of shareholders by heavily weighting long-term, stock-based incentives and enforcing meaningful stock ownership and retention requirements. | Pages 4-6, 38-39, 52-54 and 57 | |
Substantial variable component: A substantial portion of each executive’s pay opportunity is variable, at-risk compensation based upon Raytheon’s financial performance and stock price. | Pages 4-6, 46-54 | |
Short-term versus long-term: The compensation program carefully balances short- and long-term incentives, with a heavier weighting toward long-term incentives. | Pages 5 and 46-54 | |
Use of key financial metrics: Short- and long-term incentive awards are based on pre-established goals for key financial metrics selected for their ability to drive operational and financial performance. | Pages 35-36 and 47-54 | |
Balanced incentives: Our awards have both significant upside opportunity for exceptional performance and downside risk for underperformance. | Pages 4-6 and 34-54 | |
Market focus: The MDCC considers both the practices of peer companies and broader market survey data in setting executive compensation. | Pages 43-45 | |
Competitiveness: Our executive compensation program addresses the need to attract and retain highly-qualified executives essential to Raytheon’s success in a highly competitive environment. | Pages 5, 34, 39 and 42-45 | |
Managing risk: The compensation program is designed to avoid encouraging excessive risk-taking. | Page 55 | |
Consultant independence: The MDCC adheres to a stringent Compensation Consultant Independence Policy when retaining outside advisers. | Page 55 | |
Clawback rights: Our clawback policy provides for recovery of compensation in certain circumstances where restatement of financial results is required. | Page 58 |
32 RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT | PROPOSAL 2: ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION |
Our shareholders have approved our executive compensation program through advisory say-on-pay votes and, overall, speak favorably about our program in our communications with them. The MDCC has incorporated shareholder feedback from our outreach into our executive compensation program. Following our 2018 shareholder outreach communications, and after careful consideration of relevant information and the feedback received from some shareholders, the MDCC adjusted our long-term incentive compensation mix. This change was made with input from the MDCC’s independent compensation consultant and was consistent with our executive compensation planning and benchmarking efforts, and is discussed in more detail under “Shareholder Outreach and Compensation Program Changes” on page 39. The Board believes the MDCC has established a compensation program for the NEOs that is appropriate and soundly grounded in the above principles, and that warrants shareholder support.
FOR |
The Board unanimously recommends an advisory vote FOR this proposal. Proxies solicited by the Board will be so voted unless shareholders specify otherwise in their proxies. |

In 2018, Raytheon successfully continued to execute its growth strategy to deliver results for our shareholders and customers. Our strong execution resulted in several company financial records, including net sales, operating cash flow, bookings and backlog. In particular, Raytheon achieved record classified bookings and sales, which were up 46% and 19%, respectively, for the year. Our classified work generally funds next-generation technology development that is critical to Raytheon’s long-term growth through the creation of future franchise programs (advanced solution sets for which we expect longer-term customer demand) and production awards. To enable this classified business performance, Raytheon has made strategic internal investments over the past few years to ensure our capabilities are aligned with our customer needs. We also continued to expand the international markets for Raytheon solutions, including for our Patriot air and missile defense system franchise. In 2018, Raytheon booked four major Patriot production awards totaling almost $4 billion, including bookings from three new countries: Romania, Poland and Sweden.
36 RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT | COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | EXECUTIVE SUMMARY |
Raytheon delivered better-than-expected operating cash flow performance in 2018 driven by improved working capital performance. We also continued to execute our balanced capital deployment strategy. In addition to funding strategic internal investments, we increased our dividend by 8.8%, repurchased 6.7 million shares of our common stock for $1.3 billion, and made a $1.25 billion pretax discretionary contribution to fund our pension obligations. In addition, Raytheon continued to invest in employees in 2018. These investments included adjusting our compensation plans based upon market data and to drive continuous financial performance and higher payouts for higher performance impacting almost 38,500 employees, upgrading and building new facilities, continuing to improve employee benefits and granting equity to an expanded employee population at more junior levels.
Pay for Performance. Most of our executives’ compensation is at risk and varies based on performance. Due to our strong 2018 financial performance, we exceeded our 2018 RBI targets on all metrics, resulting in a 140.7% funding level.

The 2018 RBI performance targets for all metrics were greater than the comparable 2017 RBI targets. All 2018 RBI targets also exceeded Raytheon’s actual performance for 2017, except for FCF. The 2018 RBI FCF target reflected higher planned investments on capital expenditures, including additional facilities requirements, as well as necessary investments related to recent program wins. 2018 was the fourth consecutive year of accelerated growth for Raytheon and these investments relate to this growth. Our 2018 RBI FCF target also reflected lower planned net cash inflows relating to our pension plans than we had in 2017. Unlike other companies, government contractors such as Raytheon experience not only cash outflows from pension costs, but also cash inflows from the U.S. government through the pricing of our products and services. This decrease in cash from pension from 2017 to 2018 is non-operational and driven by requirements of our pension plans. It should also be noted that our actual 2018 FCF performance exceeded our actual 2017 FCF performance by $472 million.
The Company’s strong overall performance over the three-year performance cycle resulted in a 148.0% payout factor for our 2016–2018 LTPP awards.

The results across all 2016–2018 LTPP metrics are indicative of our return to growth in 2015 ahead of schedule, our consistently strong growth rate (particularly in classified programs), and our stronger-than-expected cash flow.
We include free cash flow metrics in both the RBI and LTPP programs given the importance of both short-term and long-term cash flow performance to investors. Cash flow directly impacts the health of our balance sheet, which enables us to effectively deploy our capital to support Raytheon’s strategy and generate value to shareholders. Short-term cash flow performance impacts our capital and software expenditures, company and program investments, and discretionary pension contributions. Long-term cash flow is an important metric in determining dividend changes, acquisition capacity and other longer-term investments that span several years.
Our RBI and LTPP programs are discussed in more detail in “Annual Cash Incentives — RBI” on page 47 and “Long-Term Performance Plan” on page 52.
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT 37 |
Shareholder Value. The MDCC believes that executive compensation should be tied to Raytheon performance that drives long-term value creation for our shareholders. Accordingly, our executive compensation program provides executives with a mix of variable, at-risk, short- and long-term incentive opportunities based on a number of key financial metrics. The MDCC believes the selected metrics drive operational and financial performance consistent with our long-term growth strategy, and are strong indicators of our overall performance. In particular, the MDCC believes the RBI program metrics of bookings, net sales, FCF and operating income from continuing operations, which are balanced against the LTPP program metrics of ROIC, CFCF and TSR, have driven strong Raytheon operational results, including Company performance in 2018 and increased shareholder value over the long term.
Notwithstanding Raytheons financial performance in 2018 and future positioning (given our record backlog and classified bookings growth), Raytheons stock performance in 2018 was highly volatile. After reaching an all-time high in April, Raytheon stock, along with the stock of other leading defense companies, experienced a sharp decline in the fourth quarter of 2018. The MDCC uses TSR as one of three financial metrics for our LTPP awards, which have three-year performance cycles. With the impact of the stock performance in 2018, Raytheons three-year TSR ranking was seventh out of ten peers under the 20162018 LTPP.
Over the course of our CEOs five-year tenure, Raytheon has delivered strong TSR performance on both an absolute basis and relative to our core peer group and the S&P 500 Index. As evidenced by the chart below, Raytheons cumulative TSR since 2014 has consistently outperformed the cumulative TSRs of the core peer group median and the S&P 500 Index. Even with its stock performance in the fourth quarter of 2018, Raytheons five-year cumulative TSR of 85.3% exceeded the core peer group median of 80.2% and the S&P 500 Index of 48.1%.

2019 CEO TOTAL TARGET DIRECT COMPENSATION AND MIX
As discussed beginning on page 43, the MDCC uses information furnished by its independent compensation consultant to assess the competitive positioning of our executives’ total target direct compensation against the market. The MDCC uses the median for comparable positions as a reference, though it also uses other factors in setting individual target compensation. For our CEO, the MDCC has increased his total target direct compensation each year based on, among other factors, his strong individual performance and significant contribution to Raytheon’s financial performance. However, for 2019, the MDCC has determined that our CEO’s total target direct compensation should remain at the same level as his 2018 compensation in recognition of our 2018 TSR performance and to maintain his compensation at approximately the peer median.
CEO Total Target Direct Compensation |
* | The change to the variance from the median for our CEO’s total target direct compensation in 2019 was driven by a drop in the CEO pay peer median from $14.981 million to $14.088 million, a decrease of $893,000. |
Further, as discussed on page 52, in 2019, our CEO received a total of $10.5 million in performance-based LTPP awards (at target) and time-based restricted stock awards, the same as in 2018. However, with the MDCC’s decision to shift to a long-term incentive mix of 60% / 40% between performance-based LTPP and time-based restricted stock, our CEO’s 2019 performance-based LTPP award (at target) increased by $500,000 and his 2019 time-based restricted stock award decreased by $500,000.
2018 CEO Long-Term Equity Incentive Mix |
2019 CEO Long-Term Equity Incentive Mix |
The MDCC believes that the CEO’s 2019 total target direct compensation opportunities reflect an appropriate mix of incentives to continue to drive Raytheon’s long-term performance, and are aligned with the interests of Raytheon shareholders.
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT 39 |
SHAREHOLDER OUTREACH AND COMPENSATION PROGRAM CHANGES
Raytheon regularly engages with our shareholders to solicit their views on, among other important topics, our executive compensation program. We have conducted formal engagements annually since 2010, and the MDCC has incorporated feedback from this outreach and other communications into numerous aspects of our executive compensation program, including design elements and metrics.
Recent Shareholder Feedback. In the fall of 2018, we communicated with 30 institutional shareholders owning approximately 38% of Raytheon’s outstanding shares. Overall, institutional shareholders spoke favorably about our compensation program, and when asked to discuss areas for potential improvements, some shareholders expressed the following:
● |
The mix of our executives’ long-term incentive compensation should be more heavily weighted towards performance-based LTPP awards over time-based restricted stock awards. |
● |
Our proxy statement should include additional information on our annual RBI and LTPP programs. |
How We Responded. The MDCC considered these points and other feedback and consulted with its independent compensation consultant and management. After careful deliberation, the following changes were implemented.
2019 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM AND DISCLOSURE CHANGES |
Beginning in 2019, the MDCC increased the weight of executive performance-based LTPP awards for a long-term incentive mix of 60% LTPP / 40% time-based restricted stock. This change to mix affects all NEOs and other executive officers. |
We enhanced our compensation program disclosures regarding annual RBI and LTPP performance goals (see page 36), including additional information on period-over-period targets, the threshold and maximum performance for RBI awards, and the threshold performance for LTPP awards. |
Previous Changes. The MDCC is committed to continuous evaluation of executive compensation program to ensure it remains appropriate for Raytheon and our strategic, business and financial objectives, and is well aligned with our shareholders’ interests. In 2017 and 2018, the MDCC made the following changes after a comprehensive review by its independent compensation consultant to ensure the program remains closely aligned with market norms and consistent with best practices.
2017/2018 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM CHANGES |
Implemented “double trigger” for accelerated vesting of equity awards following a change in control (a change in control followed by an involuntary termination without cause or voluntary departure for good reason) (1) |
Added requirement of restrictive covenant (including non-competition and non-solicitation) compliance for post-employment LTPP payouts and severance pay, subject to applicable law (2) |
Eliminated car allowances (3) |
Adjusted RBI and LTPP program performance ranges and pay ranges to improve pay-for-performance alignment and market practice alignment (4) |
(1) | Beginning with the 2018–2020 LTPP and 2018 annual restricted stock awards, and other equity awards made starting in May 2017. |
(2) | Beginning with the 2018–2020 LTPP awards and effective July 2017 under the executive severance guidelines approved by the MDCC. |
(3) | Effective July 2017. |
(4) | Effective for the 2018 RBI program and the 2018–2020 LTPP awards. See “Company Performance and Compensation Outcomes” on page 35. |
In addition to shareholder feedback, the MDCC works closely with its independent compensation consultant and management to consider market trends and best practices, and makes changes to the compensation program as appropriate.

42 RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT | COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
OUR COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY AND PRINCIPLES
Our executive compensation program is designed to attract and retain highly-qualified executives, motivate our executives to achieve our overall business objectives, reward individual performance, and align our executives’ interests with those of our shareholders. Our executives must have a particular level of skill and experience to manage our complex, global businesses effectively. Given the duration of our programs, contracts and business cycles, and the competitive nature of our industry, it is especially important for us to retain our executive talent for a number of years to ensure continuity of management.
Several features of our compensation program reflect our compensation philosophy and objectives.
We use variable, at-risk, short- and long-term incentive opportunities to tie a significant portion of each executive’s compensation to Raytheon’s performance and to individual performance against pre-established financial, operational and other goals. |
Our stock-based incentives, coupled with meaningful stock ownership and retention requirements, ensure that executives’ interests are aligned closely with those of our shareholders. |
|
Our balanced incentives program provides awards with both significant upside opportunity for exceptional performance and downside risk for underperformance. |
Our clawback policy provides for recovery of cash and equity-based incentive compensation in certain circumstances following a restatement of our financial results. |
|
Our executives have the opportunity to earn compensation that is competitive with compensation earned by executives in comparable positions at companies with which we compete for talent. |
The MDCC designs and monitors the executive compensation program to ensure it does not foster risk-taking that would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Raytheon. |
|
The MDCC receives advice from a compensation consulting firm that satisfies stringent independence criteria. |
MANAGEMENT OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM
The MDCC establishes, oversees and assesses the effectiveness of our executive compensation program in relation to our compensation philosophy and the market. To do so, the MDCC considers input from its independent compensation consultant, shareholders and management, and considers factors such as market data, risk considerations, executives’ experience levels, and macroeconomic and organizational considerations. The MDCC considers internal pay equity, but does not establish a fixed relationship between the compensation of our CEO and that of any other NEO.
The MDCC retains an independent compensation consultant to help with designing and evaluating our executive compensation program. Since November 2016, the MDCC has engaged Frederic W. Cook & Co. (FW Cook) to serve as its compensation consultant. See “Independent Compensation Consultant” on page 55.

PEER GROUPS AND MARKET DATA
We use two peer groups to assist us in assessing the competitiveness of our executive compensation relative to market and weighing Raytheon’s performance. Our “core” peer group consists of nine companies that are either aerospace and defense companies or have substantial aerospace or defense businesses. These companies are the most comparable to us based on complexity, operations, revenues, net income, and market capitalization. Our “broader” peer group includes the core peer group plus seven additional companies from other industries that have similar complexity, operations, revenues, net income, and market capitalization to ours.
We use the core peer group to measure Raytheon’s total shareholder return (TSR) performance because these companies are the most similar to Raytheon in their business and operations and we compete with them for contracts and talent. The MDCC also uses the core peer group as a reference point for certain compensation practices in the aerospace and defense industry. The MDCC uses the broader peer group to determine market positioning in setting compensation for our CEO and CFO, and to evaluate the relationship between pay and performance for our NEOs. The MDCC also uses the broader peer group as a general reference point for executive compensation practices.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT 45 |
The MDCC reviews both peer groups annually. From time to time, with input from the independent compensation consultant, we adjust the composition of the peer groups to reflect changes in our strategy and markets or changes in the peer group companies themselves. We made no changes to our peer groups in 2018.
The MDCC obtains information from its independent compensation consultant on the compensation levels, programs and practices of the companies in the core and broader peer groups. The MDCC also considers market survey data published by third parties regarding companies outside of our peer groups. The MDCC uses this survey data in setting compensation of our NEOs other than the CEO and the CFO. The MDCC also uses this data as a general indicator of relevant market conditions and pay practices and as a broader reference point. In addition, the MDCC considers information on market and peer compensation trends (levels, mix, vehicles and metrics) provided by its consultant.
Market data is an important consideration when the MDCC establishes and evaluates compensation levels for our NEOs. In setting our NEOs’ total target direct compensation, the MDCC uses the market median for comparable positions as a reference to ensure our NEOs’ compensation opportunities are market-competitive and meet the other objectives of our executive compensation program. The MDCC also considers other factors in setting individual target compensation, including:
● | The executive’s compensation history and experience in the position; |
● | The executive’s performance against individual goals and contribution to Raytheon’s financial and operational performance; and |
● | The executive’s relative level of responsibility with Raytheon and the impact of the executive’s position on Raytheon. |
As a result of individual and Raytheon performance and the foregoing considerations in setting our NEOs’ total target direct compensation, the actual compensation for any individual NEO can vary from the market median.
As shown in this graphic, our NEOs’ 2018 total target direct compensation was competitively positioned in comparison to compensation for their counterparts, according to a market assessment prepared by the MDCC’s compensation consultant.
Raytheon Target Compensation Compared to Market |
To confirm that actual pay is aligned with Raytheon’s performance, the independent compensation consultant analyzes prior year pay-for-performance alignment when peer group performance data becomes available. Most recently, in mid-2018, FW Cook used 2017 peer performance data to analyze our NEOs’ 2017 compensation. The analysis assessed the correlation between our short-term pay (base salary and annual incentive awards) and short-term performance for 2017 relative to the peer group. The analysis also assessed the correlation between our long-term pay (total direct pay, consisting of base salary, annual incentive awards, and realizable value of long-term incentive awards and restricted stock over the most recent three-year period) and long-term performance relative to the peer group over the same three-year period. FW Cook made these performance comparisons by considering reported financial results in four areas: growth in revenues, growth in operating income, return on invested capital, and (for long-term performance comparisons only) total shareholder return. For 2017, FW Cook concluded that there is reasonable alignment between our NEOs’ pay and Raytheon’s short- and long-term performance relative to our core and broader peers.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION IN 2018
This section describes the three types of total direct compensation that make up our executive compensation program, as well as the decisions made and compensation awarded in 2018.
TOTAL DIRECT COMPENSATION MIX
The MDCC annually reviews the relative mix of our compensation elements. In particular, the MDCC looks at how the total direct compensation opportunity (the sum of base salary, target annual incentive, and target long-term incentives) is distributed in the following categories:
● | Fixed versus variable |
● | Short-term versus long-term |
● | Cash versus equity-based |
As shown in the charts below, our executives’ 2018 total direct compensation was heavily weighted toward variable, performance-based elements, and toward long-term and equity-based elements. In addition, as discussed in “Shareholder Outreach and Compensation Program Changes” on page 39, effective beginning in 2019, the MDCC approved changes to the mix of long-term incentive equity awards to increase the percentage of performance-based equity and reduce the percentage of time-based restricted stock.

Other NEO Compensation (1) |
(1) |
Base salary includes lump-sum payments to Messrs. Wajsgras and Yuse in lieu of base salary merit increases. These amounts appear in the “Bonus” column of the Summary Compensation Table on page 59. For more information, see the Summary Compensation Table on page 59. |
BASE SALARY
The MDCC reviews the base salaries of our executive officers annually and whenever an executive changes position. Our CEO makes salary recommendations with respect to his direct reports. To maintain competitive pay levels, we refer to the median of base salaries for comparable positions in setting our NEOs’ base salaries and considering annual salary changes. However, the MDCC also considers individual factors, as discussed above under “Peer Groups and Market Data,” including an executive’s scope of responsibilities and years of experience. As a result, individual executive salaries may vary from the market median.
In 2018, Mr.Kennedy’s base salary was increased by 7.6%, bringing his base salary to the market median for his position as CEO. Mr.O’Brien’s base salary was increased by 6.0% to reflect his continuing experience and strong individual performance as CFO in 2018. Messrs. Wajsgras and Yuse received lump sum payments in lieu of base salary increases in 2018. Mr.Wajsgras’ base salary remained consistent with the prior year, and base salaries for Messrs. Lawrence and Yuse (taking into account his lump sum payment) were increased by 3.5% and 3.0%, respectively, in each case to reflect his continuing experience and strong individual performance as president of his respective business.
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT 47 |
ANNUAL CASH INCENTIVES — RBI
The NEOs all participated in our annual Results-Based Incentive (RBI) Plan in 2018. RBI awards were determined through the process described below.
TOTAL-COMPANY PERFORMANCE GOALS
The MDCC sets Raytheon performance goals for selected financial metrics. Raytheon’s total-company results against those metrics drive the funding of the total-company RBI pool. In order to promote alignment and collaboration across the enterprise, all executive officer RBI awards (including those of individual business presidents) are based on total-company results. Our individual businesses have separate financial goals and RBI pools for their employees (other than the business presidents).
For 2018, consistent with past practice, the MDCC selected the following financial metrics for determining funding levels of the RBI pools.
BOOKINGS Forward-looking metric that measures the value of new contracts awarded to us during the year; indicator of potential future growth. |
NET SALES Growth metric that measures our revenue for the current year. |
|||
FREE CASH FLOW (FCF) (1) Measure of cash generated in a given year available for use in strategic investments to grow our businesses or otherwise generate returns for our shareholders. |
OPERATING INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
(1)
Measure of our profit from continuing operations for the year, before interest and taxes, and after certain non-operational adjustments. |
(1) |
FCF and Operating Income from Continuing Operations are non-GAAP financial measures. FCF is operating cash flow from continuing operations less capital spending and internal-use software spending, excluding the impact of changes to cash flow from pension and post-retirement benefits-related items and other similar non-operational items. Operating Income from Continuing Operations is operating income from continuing operations, excluding the FAS/CAS pension and post-retirement benefits operating adjustment and, from time to time, certain other items. |
48 RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT | COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
These metrics, considered in the aggregate, are strong indicators of our overall performance and our ability to create shareholder value. They are balanced among long- and short-term performance, growth and efficiency, and are aligned with our business strategies. For example, we continue to focus on growing our business in core defense and new markets, both domestic and international. We expect our success in this area to be reflected in our bookings in the shorter term and in net sales in the longer term. In addition to growing our business, we maintain a strong focus on program execution in order to maximize operating income and cash.
At the end of each year, Raytheon’s total-company RBI pool is funded (or not funded) based on Raytheon’s performance against targets for each of the metrics described above. In assessing performance for each financial metric, the MDCC considers both quantitative results and qualitative factors. Qualitative factors may include the impact of unanticipated events or events outside of our control, such as acquisitions and divestitures, delays in the timing of contract awards, changes in accounting standards, and certain non-operational items. An assessment of these factors may prompt the MDCC to adjust performance results to more accurately reflect Raytheon’s overall operational performance. In 2018, the MDCC adjusted performance results to exclude the impact of an unplanned discretionary pension contribution and a divestiture.
Funding for each individual metric is based on the threshold, target and maximum goals. If we do not achieve the threshold for a metric, the MDCC allocates no funds to the RBI pool for that metric. In each case, the goals are independent and additive: if we miss the threshold performance as to one measure, no credit would apply to that element, but above-target performance on another metric could make up for part or all of the shortfall. In addition, payouts are subject to a cap, even if performance exceeds our maximum goals.
Following a comprehensive review in 2017 of our executive compensation program, the MDCC’s independent compensation consultant recommended changes to the RBI program payout structure to better align our executive compensation program with market practice and to motivate continuous increased financial performance. As a result, the MDCC approved adjustments to the RBI program effective beginning in 2018. Specifically, the MDCC decreased payouts for threshold achievement from 75% to 50% of the target payout, and increased payouts for maximum achievement from 150% to 200% of target, on each metric to motivate stronger performance. The MDCC also decreased the maximum performance goals for bookings and net sales to better reward above-target performance in line with market practices, and decreased both the maximum and threshold goals for free cash flow to make the potential for payouts more appropriate and achievable in line with market practices.
The following table summarizes, for the 2018 total-company RBI pool, the pre-established performance thresholds, targets and maximums, the MDCC’s assessment of results against each target, and the resulting funding percentage for each metric.

Total-Company Funding Level | 140.7% |
The 2018 RBI performance targets for all metrics were greater than the comparable 2017 RBI targets. These target increases reflected Raytheon’s strong execution of our growth strategy.
The 2018 results across all RBI metrics, leading to our total-company RBI funding level of 140.7% of target, are indicative of our strong 2018 financial performance. See “Company Performance and Compensation Outcomes” on page 35 for more information on our company performance in relation to our RBI funding level.
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT 49 |
INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE GOALS
Each NEO has quantitative and qualitative individual performance goals that are established annually. We believe individualized goals promote personal accountability and help differentiate our executives’ compensation based on performance. Each NEO’s RBI award is therefore subject to both Raytheon performance (via total-company funding results, as described above) and individual performance. In order to motivate and reward extraordinary performance, individual RBI awards are structured so that payouts can be significantly higher than both target and funding, up to a cap of 200% of target. Conversely, an executive who underperforms in relation to individual goals would receive an RBI award that is less than the executive’s target after adjustment for total-company RBI pool funding.
RBI individual performance goals for the CEO. The MDCC recommends, and the full Board (excluding the CEO) approves, our CEO’s goals. In connection with his annual performance evaluation, our CEO prepares a written self-assessment of his performance against these goals. The MDCC discusses the CEO’s performance and develops a preliminary performance evaluation, which is then discussed by all of the independent directors in an executive session of the Board. Based on this evaluation, the MDCC recommends, and the full Board (excluding the CEO) approves, the CEO’s RBI award and other compensation.
RBI individual performance goals for the other NEOs. For our other NEOs, our CEO provides input to the MDCC with regard to appropriate performance goals and provides his assessments and recommendations regarding individual NEO performance.
Examples of individual performance goals for our NEOs for 2018 include:
● | Achieving specified milestones in the implementation of Raytheon’s strategy to drive profitable growth and create shareholder value; |
● | Achieving financial objectives within the individual’s business or functional area; |
● | Establishing and maintaining strong customer relationships by providing excellent program performance and innovative solutions; |
● | Successfully managing the individual’s business or functional organization, including implementing improvements in employee hiring, engagement, development and retention; |
● | Successfully driving exemplary regulatory compliance; |
● | Achieving sustainability and health and safety goals by increasing energy efficiency and successfully implementing workplace safety initiatives; |
● | Successfully reducing costs and improving efficiencies to provide customers with affordable solutions; and |
● | Leveraging diversity and inclusion to achieve global growth, enterprise collaboration and competitive advantage. |

LONG-TERM EQUITY INCENTIVES — LTPP AND RESTRICTED STOCK
Our NEOs receive long-term equity incentive awards in two forms: performance-based restricted stock units pursuant to our Long-Term Performance Plan (LTPP), and time-based restricted stock. In setting our NEOs’ aggregate long-term incentive award opportunities, the MDCC references the market median for total target direct compensation, and considers the NEOs’ target cash compensation (base salary and RBI) and the individual factors discussed above under “Market Data.”
Beginning in 2019, the MDCC increased the weight of executive performance-based LTPP awards for a long-term incentive mix of 60% LTPP / 40% time-based restricted stock.
Our 2018 NEO LTPP awards (at target) and restricted stock awards were as follows:

Mr. Yuse | 1,300,065 | – | 1,300,093 | 2,600,158 |
In 2018, the aggregate value of Mr. Kennedy’s long-term incentive award opportunities increased by 6.1% compared to 2017, and the aggregate value of Mr. O’Brien’s long-term incentive award opportunities increased by 21.6% compared to 2017. When combined with increases to base salary as discussed above under “Base Salary,” the total target direct compensation for Messrs. Kennedy and O’Brien approximated the 50th market percentile. The aggregate value of the long-term incentive award opportunities for Messrs. Lawrence, Wajsgras and Yuse each increased by 2.0%, in each case representing a market-competitive increase.
LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE PLAN
The LTPP awards are performance-based restricted stock units that vest at the end of a three-year performance cycle based on Raytheon performance against pre-established financial goals set by the MDCC. The MDCC has elected to make the LTPP award payouts in common stock, but it could elect to settle these awards in cash instead. LTPP awards are granted annually to provide continuity of opportunity and marketplace consistency. As a result, financial results for any single year will affect the payouts for three overlapping three-year performance periods.
Target LTPP payout opportunities. The MDCC sets, for each executive, a target LTPP payout opportunity for each performance cycle. Depending on Raytheon’s performance over the following three years, an executive can receive a payout ranging from zero to 200% of target, plus accrued dividend equivalents.
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT 53 |
Raytheon performance goals. The performance goals for the 2018–2020, 2017–2019, and 2016–2018 performance periods are based on return on invested capital (ROIC), cumulative free cash flow (CFCF), and relative total shareholder return (TSR). The table below explains these metrics and the weighting assigned to each.
RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL (1) Measure of how efficiently and effectively we use capital to generate returns, including through investments and acquisitions. Our ability to generate returns efficiently and effectively is critical to our growth and the funding of our operations. |
|
CUMULATIVE FREE CASH FLOW (1) Measure of cash generated over the three-year performance period that is available for use in strategic investments to grow our businesses or otherwise generate return to our shareholders. Our ability to generate cash is critical to our growth and the funding of our operations. |
|
RELATIVE TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN (1) Measure of our stock price appreciation, including reinvested dividends, over the three-year performance period in comparison to our core peers’ stock performance over the same period. Investors recognize TSR as an appropriate measure to motivate executives and to achieve alignment with our shareholders’ interests. |
(1) | ROIC, CFCF and TSR are non-GAAP financial measures. The calculation of CFCF is the FCF calculation described above under the RBI plan over a three-year performance cycle. TSR is calculated using 30-trading-day average stock prices at the beginning of the performance cycle and immediately following the end of the cycle. The calculation of ROIC is (a) the sum of (i) income from continuing operations, excluding the after-tax effect of the FAS/CAS pension and postretirement benefits operating adjustment and retirement benefits non-service expense and, from time to time, certain other items, (ii) after-tax net interest expense, and (iii) one-third of operating lease expense after-tax (estimate of interest portion of operating lease expense), divided by (b) the sum of (i) average invested capital after capitalizing operating leases (operating lease expense times a multiplier of 8), (ii) financial guarantees, less net investment in discontinued operations, and (iii) the liability for defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans, net of tax, less other similar non-operational items. Such calculation also includes certain variations because the metric is averaged over the three-year performance cycle. |
The MDCC believes these three metrics, considered in the aggregate, fairly represent Raytheon’s overall performance, and Raytheon performance in these areas leads to the creation of long-term value for our shareholders.
At the beginning of each performance cycle, the MDCC sets target, threshold and maximum Raytheon performance levels for the three-year period for each metric based on the first three years of our five-year financial plan. The MDCC does not change the LTPP targets during the performance cycle, even if management later revises our business projections and plans. In determining Raytheon’s performance for each financial metric, the MDCC disregards any change in applicable accounting standards or tax statutes after the awards are granted. See “Tax Considerations” on page 58. In accordance with their terms, the 2016–2018 LTPP awards exclude, and the 2017–2019 LTPP awards will exclude, the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 on our financial results.
Following a comprehensive review in 2017 of our executive compensation program, the MDCC’s independent compensation consultant recommended changes to the LTPP program payout structure to better align our executive compensation program with market practice and to motivate continuous increased performance. As a result, the MDCC approved adjustments to the LTPP program effective beginning in 2018. Specifically, the MDCC implemented linear interpolation rather than step increases for payouts within the performance goal ranges for ROIC and CFCF in order to motivate continuously improving performance and align to market practices. The MDCC also increased the CFCF threshold goal to require better performance prior to any payout.
LTPP awards are paid out at the end of their three-year cycles based on Raytheon performance against these predetermined goals. In each case, the goals are independent and additive: if we miss the threshold performance as to one measure, no credit would apply to that element, but above-target performance on another metric could make up for part or all of the shortfall. Meeting or exceeding any metric’s maximum performance goal would result in funding for that metric capped at two times the target funding level for that metric.
54 RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT | COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
Achievement of performance goals. The following table summarizes, for the 2016–2018 LTPP award cycle, the pre-established performance thresholds, targets and maximums for all three metrics, our MDCC-determined actual performance, and the corresponding funding.

TSR (25%) | Ranking 8th | Ranking 5th | Ranking 2nd | Ranking 7th | 16.7% | |||||
Overall Payout Factor % | 148.0% |
The overall payout factor of 148.0% of target reflects strong Raytheon performance during the performance cycle. The results across all 2016–2018 LTPP metrics are indicative of our return to growth in 2015 ahead of schedule, our consistently strong growth rate (particularly in classified programs), and our stronger-than-expected cash flow.
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS
In 2018, we granted time-based restricted stock awards to Messrs. O’Brien, Lawrence, Wajsgras and Kremer. These awards vest in three equal tranches on each of the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date, provided the recipient remains employed with Raytheon on the scheduled vesting dates.
Since 2014, we have granted, in lieu of restricted stock awards, restricted stock units (called “60/10 RSUs”) to certain employees who have attained the age of 60 with at least ten years of service with Raytheon. Unlike our restricted stock, 60/10 RSUs continue to vest (but do not accelerate) as scheduled, even if the recipient retires. As a condition of continued post-retirement vesting, an employee must comply with certain covenants, including non-competition, non-solicitation of employees, non-interference with contractual arrangements, confidentiality, and cooperation in certain specified instances. In 2018, we granted 60/10 RSUs to Messrs. Kennedy and Yuse.
PERQUISITES AND OTHER EXECUTIVE BENEFITS
While they are a relatively small portion of our executives’ total direct compensation opportunities, perquisites and other executive benefits are important to ensure competitiveness at the senior leadership level. Under our executive perquisite policy, we provide our executive officers financial planning services, executive physicals, and life insurance coverage. We also provide other perquisites (such as home security and use of corporate aircraft) to certain executives in limited circumstances due to our security and personal safety requirements. In 2017, for consistency with prevailing market practice, we eliminated the car allowance that was previously provided to executive officers. Individually and in the aggregate, the perquisites we provide to our NEOs are comparable in scope to those provided by the companies in our peer groups, particularly in the core peer group of aerospace and defense companies.
Since 2011, we have asked our shareholders to vote annually, on an advisory basis, on our executive compensation. In 2018, more than 89% of the votes cast by our shareholders approved our executive compensation. As discussed in “Shareholder Outreach and Compensation Program Changes” on page 39, in 2018 we continued to solicit input from many of our shareholders on various executive compensation and governance matters. As a result of further analysis and some of our shareholder discussions, the MDCC adjusted our long-term incentive compensation mix in 2019. This change, which was made with input from the MDCC’s independent compensation consultant, was consistent with our executive compensation planning and benchmarking efforts. As enhanced by this change, the MDCC believes our existing compensation approach is appropriate for Raytheon and our business in the current market environment. The MDCC will continue to monitor shareholder advisory votes and to seek shareholder input on compensation matters. Where appropriate, the MDCC, in consultation with its independent compensation consultant, will consider changes to the executive compensation program.
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT 55 |
INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT
Since November 1, 2016, the MDCC has engaged FW Cook to serve as its independent compensation consulting firm. Among other things, the MDCC’s compensation consultant provides information on compensation levels, programs and practices within certain peer groups and the broader market; reports on compensation trends among our peers and the broader market; and performs a pay-for-performance assessment. The MDCC’s compensation decision-making process relies on this work product, together with MDCC members’ judgment and experience, and information, analyses and recommendations provided by management.
The MDCC has a formal Compensation Consultant Independence Policy to ensure the committee receives independent and unbiased advice and analysis. The policy prohibits the consultant from providing services of any nature to Raytheon officers and directors personally. In addition, the consultant may not provide to Raytheon advice related to executive and director compensation, employee compensation or employee benefits, other than the advice provided to the MDCC with respect to executive compensation and other matters within the MDCC’s scope of responsibilities, and advice provided to the Governance and Nominating Committee with respect to director compensation. In addition, the policy and the MDCC’s charter require the MDCC to consider all relevant factors specified by NYSE standards when selecting a compensation committee adviser. The MDCC assessed FW Cook’s independence in light of these requirements when it retained FW Cook in 2017 and again in November 2018, and determined in both instances that FW Cook is independent and that the firm’s work does not raise any conflicts of interest.
The MDCC is required to pre-approve any non-MDCC services that its compensation consultant proposes to provide to Raytheon. As a guideline to avoid any actual or perceived conflict of interest or bias, MDCC policy limits the fees paid by Raytheon for such non-MDCC services to no more than 1% of the consulting firm’s annual gross revenues. Other than the services it provided to the MDCC and the Governance and Nominating Committee, FW Cook did not provide any services to Raytheon in 2018.
MANAGEMENT OF COMPENSATION-RELATED RISK
While risk is inherent in many aspects of our business operations, we believe the following features of our compensation program help us appropriately manage compensation-related risk.
● | We rely on an assortment of vehicles for delivering compensation, both fixed and variable, including cash and equity-based measures with different time horizons, to focus our executives on specific objectives that help us achieve our business plans and create alignment with long-term shareholder interests. |
● | Compensation is based on a combination of appropriately weighted performance measures so that executives focus on the business as a whole rather than individual metrics. |
● | Performance-based awards are capped to prevent undue efforts to surpass the target for any particular measure. |
● | Incentive compensation for the NEOs is based on individual performance and Raytheon’s overall performance, not the performance of specific business units only. |
● | The MDCC adheres to stringent guidelines when retaining a compensation consultant. |
● | Our clawback policy provides a means to recover certain cash and equity incentive compensation awarded in reliance on erroneous financial statements substantially caused by an executive’s knowing or intentionally fraudulent or illegal conduct. |
● | Our equity grant policies ensure that equity awards are granted only on the dates of regularly-scheduled Board meetings, and not on dates that are tied to the release of material information. |
● | The NEOs (as well as all of our directors and executive officers) must comply with rigorous stock ownership and retention guidelines. |
The MDCC has reviewed with management the design and operation of our incentive compensation arrangements for all employees, including executive officers, for the purpose of determining whether such programs might encourage inappropriate risk-taking that would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Raytheon. The MDCC concluded that Raytheon’s compensation plans, programs and policies, considered as a whole, including applicable risk-mitigation features, are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Raytheon.
56 RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT | COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
RETIREMENT BENEFITS AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION
RETIREMENT BENEFITS
Retirement benefits fulfill an important role within our overall executive compensation program because they provide an element of financial security that promotes retention. Our retirement program, including the amount of benefit, is comparable to those offered by the companies in our peer groups and, as a result, ensures that our executive compensation remains competitive.
We maintain three broad-based retirement plans:
● | the Raytheon Savings and Investment Plan (RAYSIP), a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan (401(k) plan) in which our executive officers are eligible to participate in the same manner as substantially all other employees; |
● | tax-qualified, defined benefit pension plans in which executive officers who joined us before December 31, 2006 are eligible to participate; and |
● | the Retirement Income Savings Program (RISP) within RAYSIP, a tax-qualified defined contribution plan for employees who joined us after December 31, 2006. |
We also sponsor certain non-qualified retirement plans, including:
● | the Raytheon Excess Pension Plan, a nonqualified excess pension plan that provides benefits that would have been provided to a participant under the tax-qualified pension plan but for compensation and benefit limits imposed under the IRC; and |
● | the Raytheon Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP), a nonqualified plan for eligible senior executives, including our NEOs, designed to replicate, but not exceed, the retirement benefit that a mid-career person joining Raytheon would have achieved under the qualified and excess pension plans had such person begun his or her career with Raytheon. |
Messrs. Kennedy and Yuse will not receive a payment under the SERP because pension benefits for each of these executives under the formula in our qualified and excess pension plans exceed the maximum 50% of final average earnings that the SERP would provide in connection with a retirement. Our other NEOs could be eligible for SERP benefits, depending on when they retire.
Each of our retirement plans is described in more detail under the heading “Pension Benefits” beginning on page 64.
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
We maintain the Raytheon Deferred Compensation Plan under which employees, including our NEOs, who are projected to reach the IRC compensation limit may elect to defer between 3% and 50% of their salary in excess of the limit and between 3% and 90% of their annual RBI plan awards, and receive tax-deferred returns on those deferrals. We make a matching contribution of up to 4% of deferrable compensation. For more information on our Deferred Compensation Plan, see “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” on page 67.
EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE GUIDELINES AND OFFER LETTERS
Our employees, including our NEOs, are employees at-will; they do not have long-term employment contracts with Raytheon. The at-will employment status of our employees affords us the necessary flexibility to separate employees when appropriate. However, in order to attract and retain highly-qualified executives who may otherwise desire the protection of long-term employment contracts, we offer specified benefits under our executive severance guidelines and under certain NEO offer letters. We changed our severance guidelines in 2010 to reduce the benefits provided under them. For our CEO and our executive officers who were first elected before January 1, 2010, these benefits provide for the continuation of base salary and health and welfare benefits for two years, and a payment equal to two times target annual incentive award. Officers first elected on or after January 1, 2010 (other than an officer in the CEO role) would receive continuation of base salary and health and welfare benefits for one year, and a payment equal to the target annual incentive award. In 2017, the MDCC amended our executive severance guidelines to require, subject to applicable law, compliance with certain post-termination restrictive covenants (including non-competition and non-solicitation) to receive severance payments. (1) In addition, certain Raytheon pension plans provide for continued pension benefits following severance. For more information, see “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” beginning on page 68.
(1) | Applicable requirements of recently enacted Massachusetts legislation and other applicable laws are under examination. |
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT 57 |
CHANGE-IN-CONTROL AGREEMENTS
Separate from our executive severance guidelines, we have change-in-control agreements with all of our executive officers. Changes in corporate control are often accompanied by changes in the corporate culture and job losses, especially at executive levels. If a transaction affecting corporate control of Raytheon were under consideration, we expect that our executives would naturally be faced with personal uncertainties and may be distracted by concerns regarding how the transaction might affect their continued employment. By entering into change-in-control agreements before any specific transaction is contemplated, we hope to focus our executives’ full attention and dedication on our shareholders’ best interests, despite any potential or pending change in control, and to encourage our executives to stay with Raytheon until any such transaction is completed.
Our change-in-control agreements provide a meaningful severance benefit if a change in control occurs and, within the following 24 months, the executive is either terminated without cause or resigns due to a material reduction in compensation or a material change in job duties without the executive’s consent. These agreements are not intended to confer a windfall on our executives occasioned by a change in control. The agreements provide for a “double trigger,” such that an executive would only receive benefits upon a qualifying termination — not simply upon a change in control. Our change-in-control agreements provide for post-termination benefits as a multiple of the executive’s most recent base salary. That multiple depends upon the executive’s position with Raytheon and date of hire. In 2013, we revised our change-in-control agreement guidelines to decrease this multiple from three to two for certain officers, including business presidents, and two to one for certain other officers, including our chief financial officer. These revised guidelines apply to officers first hired or appointed as an officer after August 1, 2013. Our executive severance guidelines and offer letters described above do not apply to a qualifying termination following a change in control, so there would be no duplication of benefits.
Our change-in-control and severance arrangements, including benefit amounts and the conditions under which they are triggered, are comparable to those provided by the companies in our peer groups. For more information on our executive severance guidelines and the terms of our change-in-control agreements, see “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” beginning on page 68.
STOCK OWNERSHIP AND RETENTION GUIDELINES
To reinforce our culture and expectation of long-term share ownership, we have implemented the stock ownership guidelines set out below for our elected officers. These guidelines are designed to ensure sustained, meaningful executive share ownership, align executives’ long-term interests with shareholder interests, and demonstrate our officers’ commitment to enhancing long-term shareholder value. The MDCC and the Governance and Nominating Committee regularly review the required ownership levels, as well as attainment of these ownership levels, by our elected officers. Executives have five years from the date on which they became subject to the guidelines to attain the requisite level of ownership, and may not dispose of Raytheon stock until the ownership guideline is satisfied. As of December 31, 2018, each of our NEOs had met or exceeded the applicable stock ownership requirements.

COO | 4X | ||||||||
Senior Vice Presidents and Business Presidents | 3X | ||||||||

58 RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT | COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
POLICY AGAINST CERTAIN RAYTHEON STOCK TRANSACTIONS
To ensure alignment with the long-term interests of our other shareholders, Raytheon’s Insider Trading Policy provides that our officers, as well as other employees and non-employee directors, may not engage in:
● | Short sales of Raytheon stock or transactions in any derivative of a Raytheon security, including puts, calls and options (other than the receipt and exercise of options that might be granted pursuant to a Raytheon compensation plan); |
● | Any type of hedging or similar monetization transaction involving Raytheon securities, including financial instruments such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds; or |
● | Other transactions that would permit the holder to own Raytheon securities without the full risks and rewards of ownership. |
In addition, Raytheon’s Insider Trading Policy provides that our officers, certain other employees, and directors are prohibited from purchasing any Raytheon securities on margin, making any investments on margin in any account in which they hold Raytheon securities, or otherwise pledging Raytheon securities as collateral for a loan.
RESTATEMENT CLAWBACK POLICY
Our executives’ compensation is subject to a Restatement Clawback Policy, which gives the Board the right to recover RBI payments, LTPP awards and restricted stock awards made on or after January 1, 2009, to any executive to the extent such payments or awards were inflated due to erroneous financial statements substantially caused by the executive’s knowing or intentionally fraudulent or illegal conduct.
Under Section 162(m) of the IRC, there is a limit of $1 million on the amount of compensation that we may deduct in any one year with respect to compensation paid to certain of our NEOs. Prior to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, the Section 162(m) limitation applied to compensation paid to our CEO and the three other highest paid executive officers (other than the chief financial officer) to the extent such compensation did not otherwise qualify as performance-based compensation. The MDCC has historically determined that compensation paid pursuant to LTPP awards should generally be structured to be tax-deductible, and has operated the LTPP intending to comply with the Section 162(m) exemption.
The performance-based compensation exemption and the exemption of the chief financial officer from Section 162(m)’s deduction limit have been repealed, among other changes, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, such that compensation paid to our covered executive officers in excess of $1 million will not be deductible unless it qualified for transition relief applicable to certain arrangements in place as of November 2, 2017. The rules and regulations promulgated under Section 162(m) are complicated and the scope of the transition relief under the legislation repealing Section 162(m)’s performance-based compensation exemption from the deduction limit is uncertain. As such, there can be no guarantee that compensation intended to satisfy the requirements for tax deductibility in fact will. While deductibility of executive compensation for federal income tax purposes is among the factors the MDCC considers when structuring our executive compensation, it is not the sole or primary factor considered. Our Board and the MDCC retain the flexibility to authorize compensation that may not be deductible if they believe it is in our best interests.
MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
The Management Development and Compensation Committee is composed entirely of independent directors. The MDCC has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K.

The grant date fair values are calculated in accordance with the accounting standard for share-based payments. Performance-based RSUs under our LTPP are subject to both internal performance metrics (CFCF and ROIC) and market-based performance conditions (TSR). Values for the CFCF and ROIC portions of the awards are adjusted for the probability of achievement and computed based on the stock price on the date of grant and the number of shares (the intrinsic value method). Values for the TSR portion of the awards are based upon the Monte Carlo simulation method. Values for time-based restricted stock awards and time-based RSUs are based on the intrinsic value method on the date of grant. For more information on the assumptions we used to calculate the grant date fair values for restricted stock, RSUs and LTPP awards, see “Note 13: Stock-based Compensation Plans” to our financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (2018 Form 10-K). |
60 RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT | EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION TABLES |
The values of the 2018–2020 LTPP awards on the grant date, assuming the highest level of performance conditions will be achieved during the three-year performance cycle, are as follows: Mr. Kennedy – $10,364,974; Mr. O’Brien – $2,859,217; Mr. Wajsgras – $2,323,269; Mr. Lawrence – $2,323,269; Mr. Kremer – $2,323,269; and Mr. Yuse – $2,323,269. |

Represents amounts earned pursuant to annual cash incentive awards under our Results-Based Incentive (RBI) plan for 2018, 2017, and 2016 but which were paid in 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. |
(3) |
Amounts represent the aggregate change in the actuarial present value of each NEO’s accumulated benefit under all defined benefit and pension plans (including supplemental plans) from the end of the preceding year to the end of the reported year. Generally, these amounts represent the change in value of the NEO’s benefit due to an additional year of service, changes in compensation, and changes in the discount rate. The amounts were computed using the same assumptions we used for financial reporting purposes under the accounting standard for employers’ accounting for pensions. Actual amounts paid under our plans are based on assumptions contained in the plans, which may be different from the assumptions used for financial statement reporting purposes. None of the NEOs received any earnings on their deferred compensation based on above-market or preferential rates. |

(a) |
Each NEO is entitled to receive certain limited perquisites. For 2018, each NEO received financial planning services, certain items related to attendance at employee events, and certain travel and incidental expenses relating to his spouse or family attending Raytheon-related events at our request. The amounts for Messrs. Kennedy, O’Brien, Wajsgras, and Kremer also include personal use of Raytheon aircraft ($222,353, $5,294, $19,332 and $66,910, respectively). The amounts for Messrs. Kennedy, Wajsgras and Kremer also include the cost of an executive physical. Mr. Kennedy’s amount also includes personal use of a company-provided car and driver and home security system expenses. |
|
We require Mr. Kennedy generally to use Raytheon aircraft for all air travel, including for personal purposes, for security and personal safety reasons. Our incremental cost for the personal use of corporate aircraft was calculated by multiplying the number of personal travel hours for an aircraft by that aircraft’s average variable hourly operating cost (including fuel, aircraft maintenance, landing, parking, catering and certain taxes and other miscellaneous fees and costs, but excluding fixed costs such as pilots’ and other employees’ salaries, aircraft purchase price and certain hangar expenses). In determining the number of personal travel hours, we did not include the flight time of any “deadhead” flight (e.g., a return flight on which no passenger was aboard). For trips that involved mixed personal and business usage, we determined the total variable cost attributable to personal use by subtracting the total variable cost of a “business-only” trip from the total variable cost of the whole trip (both personal and business). Based on our average variable operating cost per hour (as derived above), deadhead flights (not included in the foregoing amounts) would have amounted to an additional $68,589 for Mr. Kennedy, $2,786 for Mr. O’Brien, $2,786 for Mr. Wajsgras, and $2,468 for Mr. Kremer. |
||
Mr. Kennedy frequently travels in Raytheon-provided vehicles operated by Raytheon drivers for business and personal (primarily commuting) purposes for security and personal safety reasons. To determine our incremental cost for Mr. Kennedy’s personal use of a company-provided car and driver, we allocated our total annual costs for the vehicle and driver based on the total vehicle miles in the year and the miles driven for personal purposes, and the total driver hours worked and the hours of driving for personal purposes. In addition, the NEOs have access to certain Raytheon vehicles and drivers for various corporate purposes that also may be used in limited circumstances for uses that may have a personal element. |
||
(b) |
Messrs. Kennedy, O’Brien, Wajsgras, Kremer and Yuse received tax gross-up payments relating to imputed income as a result of the NEO’s spouse attending Raytheon-related events at our request. Consistent with prior years, Messrs. Kennedy, O’Brien, Wajsgras and Kremer did not receive any tax gross-ups for individual personal use of Raytheon aircraft. |
|
(c) |
Amounts represent the total amount of Raytheon contributions to qualified and nonqualified defined contribution plans. We make a 4% matching contribution to our NEOs’ compensation deferred under our qualified Raytheon Savings and Investment Plan (RAYSIP) 401(k) Plan and under our nonqualified, unfunded Deferred Compensation Plan. The Deferred Compensation Plan matching contributions include our matching contribution for deferred 2018 RBI compensation earned in 2018 but paid in March 2019. |
|
(d) |
Amounts represent the total value of Raytheon-paid insurance premiums, including for basic life, senior executive life, executive liability, and business travel and accident insurance policies. |
|
(5) |
Amounts represent lump-sum payments to Mr. Wajsgras and Mr. Yuse in lieu of base salary merit increases. |
|
(6) |
Mr. Kennedy’s change in pension value in 2016, 2017 and 2018 was primarily driven by his increased average compensation for the most recent five-year period as defined in the Raytheon Non-Bargaining Retirement Plan. The 2018 change is due to the replacement of his 2013 compensation with his CEO-level 2018 compensation. |
|
(7) |
Mr. Lawrence’s change in pension value in 2018, and Mr. Wajsgras’ change in pension value in 2016, was in each case primarily driven by his satisfaction of the age and service requirements to commence Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan benefits. |

Amounts represent the threshold, target and maximum payout opportunities under the 2018 RBI Plan, Raytheon’s annual cash incentive plan. RBI payout opportunities range from zero to 200% of an individual’s target. |
(2) |
Amounts represent the threshold, target and maximum payout opportunities pursuant to 2018–2020 LTPP performance-based RSU awards. LTPP payout opportunities range from zero to 200% of target. Amounts do not include accrued dividend equivalents. |
(3) |
Amounts represent time-based restricted stock awards and/or time-based RSU awards. |
(4) |
Amounts represent the grant date fair value of awards of restricted stock and RSUs granted in 2018 in accordance with the accounting standard for share-based payments. Values for awards of time-based restricted stock and RSUs are based on the stock price on the date of grant and the number of shares (the intrinsic value method). Performance-based RSUs under our LTPP are subject to both internal performance metrics (CFCF and ROIC) and market-based performance conditions (TSR). Values for the CFCF and ROIC portions of the awards are adjusted for the probability of achievement and computed based upon the intrinsic value method on the date of grant, while the values for the TSR portion of the awards are based upon the Monte Carlo simulation method. Values of time-based restricted stock awards and performance-based LTPP RSU awards are generally expensed over the NEO’s requisite service period — generally the vesting period of the awards. The 60/10 RSUs continue to vest into retirement, and are generally expensed in the period in which they are granted rather than over the vesting period of the awards. |
(5) |
Amounts represent awards of 60/10 RSUs to a retirement-eligible employee who has attained the age of 60 with at least ten years of service with Raytheon. These 60/10 RSUs continue to vest (but do not accelerate) on the scheduled vesting dates even after the employee retires, so long as the employee complies with certain post-employment covenants. |

Amounts represent time-based restricted stock awards and, for retirement-eligible NEOs who have attained the age of 60 with at least ten years of service with Raytheon, time-based restricted stock units (60/10 RSUs). Restricted stock awards and 60/10 RSUs vest in three equal tranches on each of the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date. Restricted stock awards vest only if the recipient remains employed with Raytheon on the scheduled vesting dates. The 60/10 RSUs continue to vest (but do not accelerate) as scheduled, even after the employee retires, so long as the employee complies with certain post-employment covenants. |
(2) |
Amounts are equal to $153.35, the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on December 31, 2018, multiplied by the number of unvested shares or units. |
(3) |
Amounts assume 2017–2019 LTPP and 2018–2020 LTPP payouts, plus dividend equivalents, at target performance paid in shares of stock. LTPP awards vest at the end of the applicable three-year performance cycle if certain performance goals are attained and the executive remains employed by Raytheon. These awards may be settled in shares of our common stock or cash, at the MDCC’s discretion. The actual number of shares issued or cash paid upon settlement will depend on the extent to which we attained or exceeded the performance goals, and include dividend equivalents accrued over the three-year performance cycle. Amounts exclude 2016–2018 LTPP awards, the cycle for which ended on December 31, 2018; these are included in the “Stock Vested” table. |

VALUATION AND MATERIAL ASSUMPTIONS — PENSION BENEFITS
Benefits are valued at the age when the NEO is first eligible for unreduced benefits, discounted to the NEO’s current age with interest, and are based upon current levels of compensation. In addition, we have assumed no pre-retirement mortality, disability or termination. All other assumptions, including the discount rates for 2018 of 4.35% for the Raytheon Company Pension Plan for Salaried Employees (Salaried Pension Plan), Raytheon Excess Pension Plan, and Raytheon Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP), and 4.30% for the Raytheon Non-Bargaining Retirement Plan, are consistent with those used to determine our pension obligations under the accounting standard for employers’ accounting for pensions in our 2018 Form 10-K. For a discussion of our discount rate assumptions, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Estimates — Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Costs—FAS Expense” in our 2018 Form 10-K. An executive’s benefit under the SERP is assumed to be zero until the executive first becomes eligible for such benefit.

DESCRIPTION AND MATERIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
EXCESS PENSION PLAN | |
All NEOs
|
The Excess Pension Plan is a separate unfunded plan that provides to participants in our qualified pension plans the benefits that would have been provided by the qualified plan but for the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (IRC) limit on the amount of annual compensation that may be taken into account by qualified plans in determining benefits ($275,000 for 2018) and the IRC limit on annual benefits from a qualified plan ($220,000 for 2018). The principal features of the Excess Pension Plan for any particular employee are generally the same as the features of the qualified plan in which that employee participates, except that the Excess Pension Plan is not subject to the IRC compensation and benefit limits, the gross Excess Pension Plan benefit is offset by the qualified plan benefit, and the forms of payment under the Excess Pension Plan are subject to certain IRC restrictions.
|
SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN | |
All NEOs
|
The SERP is a separate unfunded plan available to our NEOs and certain other senior executives. The plan provides a pension of 35% of final average compensation after ten years of service and age 55, increasing by 3% of final average compensation for every additional year of service up to a maximum of 50% of final average compensation. Amounts payable under this plan will be offset by amounts payable under our other pension plans, any prior employer plan, and Social Security.
|
YEARS OF CREDITED SERVICE
The number of years of credited service for each NEO, as reported in the above table, is less than his actual service. Mr. Kennedy (actual service of 35.67 years) did not contribute to the Non-Bargaining Retirement Plan for a period of time. Mr. Yuse (actual service of 42.50 years) did not contribute to the Salaried Pension Plan for a period of time when it was a contributory plan. Messrs. O’Brien, Lawrence, Wajsgras and Kremer (actual service of 32.50, 12.73, 12.81 and 15.91 years, respectively) were subject to a required period of employment before service credit accrual began under the Salaried Pension Plan. In addition, the years of credited service do not include any additional service credit under change-in-control agreements.

NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION
The following table provides information regarding contributions, earnings, and account balances under the Deferred Compensation Plan—a nonqualified, unfunded plan that provides for pretax deferrals. Eligible employees may elect to defer 3–50% of their salary over the IRC compensation limit applicable to qualified plans ($275,000 in 2018), and to defer 3–90% of their RBI compensation earned in the current year but paid in the following year. Raytheon makes a matching contribution of up to 4% of deferrable compensation. Each employee determines how his plan account is invested among the plan’s investment options (subject to applicable trading restrictions on investments in the plan’s Raytheon stock fund). Distribution of an employee’s plan account is made in a lump sum or annual installments following termination of employment. There were no withdrawals or distributions from the Deferred Compensation Plan to any of our NEOs in 2018.

Amounts in this column reflect actual earnings in each NEO’s Deferred Compensation Plan investment account in 2018. Accordingly, unlike the other columns in this table, amounts in this column do not reflect RBI compensation earned in 2018 but paid and deferred in March 2019. Earnings on deferred compensation are not included in the Summary Compensation Table for 2018 because such earnings are not based on above-market or preferential rates.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL
The following is a summary of the potential incremental payments and benefits that the NEOs would receive upon termination of their employment under certain circumstances pursuant to our cash severance guidelines, pension, benefit and stock plans, and certain NEO offer letters.
Cash Severance and Health and Welfare Benefits. We have Executive Severance Guidelines and certain of our NEOs have offer letters that provide for cash severance payments and health and welfare benefits continuation in the event of an involuntary termination without cause. We amended these guidelines effective January 1, 2010, to reduce such payments and benefits for new executives on a prospective basis. Messrs. Lawrence, Wajsgras and Yuse are grandfathered under our prior Executive Severance Guidelines. Mr. Kennedy receives a higher payment under the Executive Severance Guidelines because he is the CEO. In July 2017, the MDCC further amended these guidelines to require, subject to applicable law, compliance with certain post-termination restrictive covenants (including non-competition and non-solicitation) to receive severance payments. (1)
(1) |
Applicable requirements of recently enacted Massachusetts legislation and other applicable laws are under examination. |
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION TABLES | RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT 69 |
Pension Benefits. In the event of an involuntary termination without cause, NEOs participating in the Salaried Pension Plan (Messrs. O’Brien, Lawrence, Wajsgras, Kremer and Yuse) would receive continuation of service credit while collecting severance benefits, plus one year. These benefits do not apply to Mr. Kennedy, who participates in the Non-Bargaining Retirement Plan.
Long-Term Incentives. Upon a termination due to death, each NEO’s restricted stock awards would vest. Upon termination due to disability, each NEO’s restricted stock awards would continue to vest on the scheduled vesting dates. In May 2017, the MDCC approved adjustments to the terms of our NEOs’ LTPP awards effective beginning in 2018. Due to these changes, beginning with the 2018–2020 LTPP program, upon a qualifying termination within 24 months after a change in control in which the successor assumes, continues or substitutes LTPP awards, each NEO would receive an LTPP payment based on either target performance or a combination of actual completed and target performance, depending on the date of the change in control. If the successor does not assume, continue or substitute LTPP awards, then each NEO would receive immediate payment assuming target performance for the full performance period as long as the award is not deemed to constitute non-qualified deferred compensation. With respect to 2017–2019 LTPP awards, each NEO would receive a prorated LTPP payment based on service completed through the date of the change in control and assuming target performance. In the event of termination due to death, disability or retirement, an NEO would receive a prorated LTPP payment based on service completed through the termination date and based on Raytheon’s actual performance, as long as the NEO (in the event of disability or retirement) complies with certain covenants for awards beginning with the 2018–2020 LTPP program. As of December 31, 2018, Messrs. Kennedy, Lawrence, Wajsgras and Yuse were retirement-eligible and Messrs. O’Brien and Kremer were not retirement-eligible. In all other termination scenarios, the NEO would forfeit all unvested long-term equity incentive awards, except that 60/10 RSUs (which are granted to retirement-eligible employees who have attained the age of 60 with at least ten years of service with Raytheon and are held by Messrs. Kennedy and Yuse) would continue to vest on the scheduled vesting dates into retirement so long as the NEO complies with certain covenants. Amounts in the tables on pages 71 and 72 for Messrs. Kennedy and Yuse reflect this continued vesting.
Change-in-Control Agreements. We have entered into change-in-control agreements with our executive officers. Pursuant to these agreements, upon a qualifying termination after a change in control, each of our NEOs except Messrs. O’Brien and Kremer would receive a cash payment of three times the NEO’s base salary; a cash payment of three times the NEO’s target RBI cash award (or, if greater, the actual RBI cash award for the prior year); special supplemental retirement benefits determined as if the NEO had three years of additional credited service as of the date of termination; and three years of health, welfare and retirement plan benefits. We revised our change-in-control agreement guidelines in 2013. Messrs. O’Brien and Kremer were elected to their roles after this revision and would receive the same benefits in a multiple of one (for Mr. O’Brien) and two (for Mr. Kremer) instead of three. The following is a summary of the potential incremental payments and benefits that the NEOs may receive under certain circumstances in connection with a change in control pursuant to their change-in-control agreements and other plans and agreements.

CHANGE-IN-CONTROL EVENT | ||
ELEMENT | PLAN OR ARRANGEMENT | TREATMENT OR BENEFIT |
Cash |
Change-in-Control Agreement |
Upon a qualifying termination* within 24 months after a change in control, each NEO would receive a cash payment of three times base salary plus three times target RBI award (or, if greater, the actual RBI cash award for the prior year), except for Mr. O’Brien, who would receive an amount equal to one times his base salary and RBI, and Mr. Kremer, who would receive an amount equal to two times his base salary and RBI. Each executive also would receive an amount equal to the prorated unpaid target RBI award for the year in which the change in control occurs. |
Pension |
Change-in-Control Agreement |
Upon a qualifying termination within 24 months after a change in control, each NEO would receive special supplemental retirement benefits based on three more years of credited service, except for Messrs. O’Brien and Kremer, each of whose benefits would be based on one more year of service. |
Health and
|
Change-in-Control Agreement |
Upon a qualifying termination within 24 months after a change in control, each NEO would receive three years of benefits continuation, except for Messrs. O’Brien and Kremer, who would receive one year of benefits and two years of benefits, respectively. |
Unvested
|
2010 Stock Plan and applicable restricted stock and 60/10 RSU award agreements |
Upon a qualifying termination within 24 months after a change in control, each NEO’s unvested restricted stock and 60/10 RSUs would vest. |
Unvested LTPP |
LTPP award agreements |
For our 2018–2020 LTPP awards, upon a qualifying termination within 24 months after a change in control in which awards are assumed, continued or substituted, each NEO would receive an LTPP payment for the full outstanding performance period, depending on the change-in-control date. For each performance cycle, if the change in control occurs within the first year of the performance cycle, the award would be based on target performance for the three years. If the change in control occurs after the first year of the performance cycle, the award would be based on a combination of actual completed performance and target performance. If the successor does not assume, continue or substitute awards, then each NEO would receive immediate payment assuming target performance for the full performance period as long as the award is not deemed to constitute non-qualified deferred compensation. With respect to 2017–2019 LTPP awards, each NEO would receive a prorated LTPP payment based on service completed through the change-in-control date and assuming target performance. |
* |
A qualifying termination is either an involuntary termination without cause or voluntary departure for good reason (i.e., a material reduction in compensation or a material change in the executive’s job duties without his consent), in each case within 24 months after a change in control. |
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION TABLES | RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT 71 |
The tables below report compensation payable to each NEO upon a hypothetical involuntary not-for-cause termination; a qualifying termination following a change in control assuming equity awards are assumed, continued or substituted in connection with the change in control; and termination due to disability, death and retirement; in each case as if the event happened on December 31, 2018. For a qualifying termination following a change in control, no pro-rata RBI would be payable, given that the NEO would be entitled to an RBI award for the completed portion of the year. We do not describe or report amounts for plans or arrangements that do not discriminate in scope, terms or operation in favor of our executive officers and that are generally available to all salaried employees. No NEO is entitled to receive compensation reportable in these tables upon a voluntary resignation (except for good reason following a change in control) or involuntary for-cause termination.

CEO PAY RATIO | RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT 73 |
The following table shows the ratio of our CEO’s 2018 annual total compensation to the median 2018 annual total compensation of our other employees.

Annual Total Compensation |
2018 Ratio of CEO Pay
to Median Employee Pay |
||
$22,420,258 | $110,802 | 202:1 |
To identify our median employee, we reviewed the 2018 pay of all our employees other than the CEO located in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia, as of December 31, 2018. As permitted by SEC rules, we excluded from our review all other non-U.S. employees because those individuals, in the aggregate, make up less than 5% of our total employee base. (1) Independent contractors and other individuals who provide services to Raytheon but whose compensation is determined by an unaffiliated third party were excluded from our determination of the median employee. All employees from companies that Raytheon acquired as of December 31, 2018 were included in our review.
We calculated the annual total compensation of our median employee in the same way we calculate our NEOs’ annual total compensation in the Summary Compensation Table on page 59. In 2018, our median employee had a salary of $102,229, and $8,573 in other compensation elements, for annual total compensation of $110,802.
(1) | Non-U.S. employees in the following countries were excluded in determining the median employee: Algeria (4 employees); Austria (5 employees); Belgium (11 employees); Brazil (16 employees); Chile (3 employees); People’s Republic of China (285 employees); Colombia (6 employees); Czech Republic (6 employees); Denmark (2 employees); Egypt (1 employee); Finland (124 employees); France (72 employees); Germany (743 employees); Greece (2 employees); Hong Kong (8 employees); Hungary (9 employees); India (186 employees); Indonesia (3 employees); Ireland (136 employees); Israel (121 employees); Italy (30 employees); Japan (10 employees); Kenya (1 employee); Latvia (1 employee); Malaysia (5 employees); Mexico (41 employees); Netherlands (13 employees); New Zealand (2 employees); Norway (2 employees); Oman (11 employees); Panama (14 employees); Peru (2 employees); Philippines (13 employees); Poland (16 employees); Portugal (3 employees); Qatar (8 employees); Republic of Korea (19 employees); Romania (3 employees); Russia (5 employees); Saudi Arabia (159 employees); Singapore (57 employees); Slovakia (1 employee); South Africa (9 employees); Spain (77 employees); Sweden (13 employees); Switzerland (11 employees); Taiwan (27 employees); Thailand (4 employees); Turkey (26 employees); and United Arab Emirates (52 employees). Therefore, a total of 2,378 employees, all located outside the U.S., were excluded in determining the median employee. As of December 31, 2018, Raytheon had approximately 69,000 total U.S. and non-U.S. employees, including employees on approved leave of absence. |
74 RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT | PROPOSAL 3: APPROVAL OF THE RAYTHEON 2019 STOCK PLAN |
PROPOSAL 3:
APPROVAL OF THE RAYTHEON 2019 STOCK PLAN
(Item No. 3 on the Proxy Card)
On March 20, 2019, the Board, on the recommendation of the MDCC and subject to shareholder approval, unanimously approved and adopted the Raytheon 2019 Stock Plan (2019 Stock Plan). The 2019 Stock Plan is a long-term incentive plan designed to encourage our officers, employees, non-employee directors, and consultants to own Raytheon common stock and to provide additional incentives for these individuals to promote Raytheon’s success. The 2019 Stock Plan will include a replenished reserve of up to 8,673,643 shares of our common stock. The share reserve may be adjusted, and additional or fewer shares may be awarded under the 2019 Stock Plan, as described in more detail under “Summary of the Stock Plan — Shares Available” below.
The 2019 Stock Plan will serve as the successor to the Raytheon 2010 Stock Plan (2010 Plan). If approved by shareholders at the Annual Meeting, the 2019 Stock Plan will be effective upon such approval (Effective Date). No further awards will be made under the 2010 Plan on or after the Effective Date. However, each outstanding award under the 2010 Plan will remain outstanding under the 2010 Plan and will continue to be governed under its terms and any applicable award agreement.
FOR |
The Board unanimously recommends that you vote FOR approval of the 2019 Stock Plan. |
Equity compensation is a vital component of our executive compensation philosophy, and plays a pivotal role in our ability to continue to attract, retain, and motivate executives, non-employee directors, and key employees who are critical to Raytheon’s success. Upon shareholder approval, the 2019 Stock Plan will be the only discretionary plan that enables us to grant new equity awards to our employees and other service providers. The Board believes it is in the best interests of Raytheon and its shareholders to approve the 2019 Stock Plan in order to continue to motivate outstanding performance by our officers, employees, non-employee directors, and consultants. If this proposal is not approved, we believe we would be at a disadvantage against our competitors for recruiting, retaining and motivating those individuals who are critical to our success. We could be forced to increase cash compensation, reducing resources available to meet our business needs.
DETERMINATION OF SHARE RESERVE UNDER THE 2019 STOCK PLAN
We are asking shareholders to approve 2,700,000 new shares authorized for issuance under the 2019 Stock Plan, plus up to 5,973,643 shares (which is the number of shares that remained available for awards under the 2010 Plan as of December 31, 2018). In total, the 2019 Stock Plan will include a replenished reserve of up to 8,673,643 shares of our common stock, as adjusted as described below under “Summary of the Stock Plan — Shares Available.”
In determining the number of new shares authorized under the 2019 Stock Plan, the MDCC considered a number of factors, including the number of shares remaining available under the 2010 Plan, our past share usage (sometimes called our “burn rate”), our estimate of the number of shares needed for future awards, a dilution analysis, competitive data from relevant peer companies, and the current and anticipated future accounting expense associated with our equity award practices.
Based on this analysis, as well as insight and assistance from the MDCC’s independent compensation consultant, FW Cook, the Board approved the proposed increase of 2,700,000 new shares available for issuance under the 2019 Stock Plan and an aggregate share reserve of 8,673,643. Approval of the 2019 Stock Plan will ensure that we have an adequate number of shares available for future awards, enabling us to continue to align the interests of Raytheon’s officers, employees, non-employee directors, and consultants with those of Raytheon’s shareholders.
PROPOSAL 3: APPROVAL OF THE RAYTHEON 2019 STOCK PLAN | RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT 75 |
NYSE rules require Raytheon to submit the 2019 Stock Plan for shareholder approval. Additionally, we are asking shareholders to approve the material terms of the 2019 Stock Plan as a matter of good corporate governance.
CURRENT OVERVIEW OF OUTSTANDING EQUITY AWARDS
As of December 31, 2018, there were no shares subject to outstanding options, 2,477,754 shares of unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units outstanding, 583,710 shares underlying outstanding performance-based stock unit awards, and 5,973,643 shares available for future awards under the 2010 Plan, as summarized in the table below. The total number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of April 2, 2019 was 280,222,177.

Based on our shares of common stock outstanding as of April 2, 2019, the 9,035,107 shares issuable under existing grants or available for future grants under the 2010 Plan represent an “overhang” of approximately 3.22% of shares. If shareholders approve the 2019 Stock Plan, the additional 2,700,000 shares available for issuance would increase the overhang to approximately 4.19%. We calculate “overhang” as:

We recognize that equity awards dilute existing shareholders. In connection with our stock-based compensation programs, we are committed to using equity incentive awards prudently and within reasonable limits. Accordingly, we closely monitor our stock award burn rate each year. Our annual burn rate is determined by dividing the number of shares of our common stock subject to stock-based awards granted in a fiscal year by the weighted average number of shares of our common stock outstanding for that fiscal year.

2016 | 0 | 1,294,693 | 296,500,000 | 0.44% |
Based on our current equity award practices, the MDCC’s independent consultant, FW Cook, has estimated that the authorized shares under the 2019 Stock Plan should be sufficient to provide us with an opportunity to grant equity awards for approximately five to six years, in amounts determined appropriate by the MDCC. This is only an estimate, and future circumstances could cause the share reserve to be used more quickly or more slowly. These circumstances include the future price of shares of our common stock, the number of full-value awards provided as long-term incentive compensation, grant amounts used by our competitors, payout of performance-based awards in excess of target amounts in the event of superior performance, hiring activity, and promotions.
76 RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT | PROPOSAL 3: APPROVAL OF THE RAYTHEON 2019 STOCK PLAN |
The Board believes that the 2019 Stock Plan incorporates and promotes best practices by reinforcing the alignment between equity compensation arrangements for eligible participants and shareholders interests. The 2019 Stock Plan includes the following key features:
● | Administration . The 2019 Stock Plan is administered by the MDCC, which is composed entirely of independent, non-employee directors. |
● | Minimum Vesting Requirements . The 2019 Stock Plan establishes a new minimum vesting requirement any awards granted under the 2019 Stock Plan generally may not vest over a period of less than one year from the grant date. This minimum vesting schedule will not apply in the case of substitute awards, awards to non-employee directors that vest on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the grant date and the next annual meeting of shareholders that is at least 50 weeks after the immediately preceding years annual meeting, or for up to 5% of the shares authorized under the 2019 Stock Plan. |
● | Shareholder Approval is Required for Any Additional Shares . The 2019 Stock Plan does not contain an annual evergreen provision, but instead reserves a fixed maximum number of shares of Raytheon common stock. Additional shareholder approval is required to increase that number. |
● | Clarified Restrictions on Share Recycling . The 2019 Stock Plan explicitly prohibits adding back to the pool of shares available for issuance (i) any shares used in payment for or withholding taxes relating to stock options or stock appreciation rights (SARs); (ii) any shares of stock used in payment upon the exercise of stock-settled SARs; and (iii) any shares used in payment for or withholding taxes relating to full value awards in excess of the minimum statutory withholding rate. If any outstanding awards are subsequently forfeited, cancelled, cash-settled or expire, the shares underlying such awards will again become available for issuance under the 2019 Stock Plan. In addition, shares purchased on the open market with cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options will not be added back to the share pool. |
● | Clawback/Recoupment Provision . The 2019 Stock Plan includes a clawback or recoupment provision, which provides that awards will be subject to cancellation or forfeiture pursuant to any clawback, recoupment or similar policy required by law or otherwise adopted by the Board. Our Governance Principles contain a Restatement Clawback Policy that gives the Board the right to recover certain performance-based and restricted stock awards granted to officers, to the extent that such payments or awards were inflated due to restated financial statements and the impacted officer engaged in knowing or intentionally fraudulent or illegal conduct that caused or substantially caused the restatement. |
● | Adoption of Annual Limit on Non-Employee Director Awards . The 2019 Stock Plan provides that the maximum aggregate grant date fair value (measured as of the grant date in accordance with applicable financial accounting rules) of all awards made to a non-employee director in any fiscal year, together with any cash payments (including the annual retainer) paid or payable to the non-employee director for director services during such fiscal year, cannot exceed $600,000 in total value. The independent members of the Board may make exceptions to this limit for a non-executive chair of the Board, provided that the director receiving such additional compensation cannot participate in the decision to award such compensation. |
● | Overall Annual Limit on Awards . The 2019 Stock Plan also limits the maximum number of shares that may be granted during any one fiscal year to any individual participant to 800,000 shares. |
● | Explicit No Repricing Provisions . Subject to certain adjustment provisions, the 2019 Stock Plan expressly provides that the terms of stock options or SARs may not be amended or replaced, without shareholder approval, to (i) reduce the exercise or base price of outstanding options or SARs, (ii) cancel outstanding options or SARs in exchange for options or SARs with a lowered exercise or base price, or (iii) replace outstanding options or SARs in exchange for other awards or cash at a time when the exercise price of such options or SARs is higher than the fair market value of a share of common stock. |
● | No Discounted Stock Options or SARs . The 2019 Stock Plan requires that stock options and SARs must have an exercise price equal to at least the fair market value of our common stock on the date the award is granted. |
● | No Tax Gross-Ups . The 2019 Stock Plan does not provide for any tax gross-ups. |
● | No Liberal Change in Control Definition . The 2019 Stock Plan defines change in control based, in part, on the consummation of the transaction rather than the announcement or shareholder approval of the transaction. |
PROPOSAL 3: APPROVAL OF THE RAYTHEON 2019 STOCK PLAN | RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT 77 |
The following summary of the principal features of the 2019 Stock Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the 2019 Stock Plan, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.
Purpose . The purpose of the 2019 Stock Plan is to encourage ownership of Raytheon’s common stock by Raytheon’s officers, employees, non-employee directors, and consultants, and to provide additional incentives for such individuals to promote the success of Raytheon’s business. The Board believes that the 2019 Stock Plan:
● | Aligns the long-term interests of key employees (including executives), non-employee directors, and consultants with those of Raytheon’s shareholders by creating a direct link between compensation and shareholder return; |
● | Encourages participants to develop and maintain a substantial stock ownership in Raytheon; and |
● | Provides incentives for participants to contribute to Raytheon’s success. |
Administration . Generally, the MDCC has full power and authority to administer and interpret the 2019 Stock Plan. The MDCC has the authority to determine (i) who is eligible to receive awards under the 2019 Stock Plan and (ii) the terms and provisions of such awards and of the applicable award agreements. The Governance and Nominating Committee has the sole authority to administer the 2019 Stock Plan with respect to our non-employee directors. Pursuant to the terms of the 2019 Stock Plan, the MDCC may delegate to our CEO the authority to grant awards to certain participants (excluding non-employee directors and executive officers who are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act).
Eligibility . Officers, employees, non-employee directors, and consultants of Raytheon and its affiliates are eligible to participate in the 2019 Stock Plan. As of December 31, 2018, approximately 17 officers, 2,587 employees, 13 non-employee directors and no consultants were eligible to participate in the 2010 Plan and, similarly, would be eligible to participate in the 2019 Stock Plan. As of March 29, 2019, approximately 17 officers, 3,893 current and former employees, 13 current non-employee directors and no consultants hold outstanding equity awards under the 2010 Plan.
Because our executives and non-employee directors are eligible to receive awards under the 2019 Stock Plan, they may be deemed to have a personal interest in the approval of this Proposal.
Shares Available . The maximum number of shares of Raytheon common stock authorized for issuance under the 2019 Stock Plan is 8,673,643 shares of common stock, which consists of 2,700,000 new shares, plus up to 5,973,643 shares (which is the number of shares that remained available for awards under the 2010 Plan as of December 31, 2018). This aggregate amount will be reduced by any shares subject to awards granted under the 2010 Plan between January 1, 2019 and the Effective Date. The 2019 Stock Plan share reserve also will include:
● | the number of undelivered shares of common stock that were the subject of awards outstanding under the 2010 Plan as of the close of business on the Effective Date (2010 Plan Awards) and, after the Effective Date, expire or are forfeited, terminated, cancelled, settled in cash or otherwise settled without delivery to the participant of the full number of shares to which the award related; and |
● | the number of shares of common stock delivered to or withheld by Raytheon in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations on or after the Effective Date with respect to 2010 Plan Awards, other than stock options or SARs. |
Shares issued under the 2019 Stock Plan may be newly issued shares, shares of treasury stock or shares of common stock that have been reacquired by Raytheon.
Share Counting Provisions . For purposes of calculating the number of shares of common stock issued under the 2019 Stock Plan:
● | to the extent that an award expires or is cancelled, forfeited, terminated, settled in cash, or otherwise is settled without delivery of the full number of shares to which the award related, then the undelivered shares will again be available for awards to be granted; |
● | shares withheld by Raytheon or tendered by the participant in payment of the exercise price or withholding taxes relating to a stock option or SAR will not be added back to the share pool; |
● | shares withheld by Raytheon or tendered by the participant in payment of withholding taxes relating to any other kind of award (other than stock options or SARs) will again be available for awards, except that any shares withheld in excess of the minimum statutory withholding rates will not be added back to the share pool; |
78 RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT | PROPOSAL 3: APPROVAL OF THE RAYTHEON 2019 STOCK PLAN |
● | upon the exercise of any stock-settled SAR, the share reserve will be reduced by the gross number of shares as to which such right is exercised; and |
● | shares of stock purchased on the open market with cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options will not be added back to the share pool. |
LIMITATIONS ON AWARDS
General Limitations . Subject to adjustment as provided in the 2019 Stock Plan:
● | No more than 800,000 shares of common stock subject to awards may be granted during any one fiscal year to any one person; and |
● | The number of shares of stock that may be issued pursuant to incentive stock options (ISOs), in the aggregate, cannot exceed 8,673,643 shares. |
Limitation on Non-Employee Director Awards . The maximum aggregate grant date fair value (measured as of the grant date in accordance with applicable financial accounting rules) of all awards made to a non-employee director in any fiscal year, together with any cash payments (including the annual retainer and any other compensation) paid or payable to the non-employee director for director services during such fiscal year, cannot exceed $600,000 in total value. The independent members of the Board may make exceptions to this limit for a non-executive chair of the Board, provided that the director receiving such additional compensation cannot participate in the decision to award such compensation.
AWARD TYPES
The following types of awards may be granted under the 2019 Stock Plan: restricted stock awards, stock unit awards, stock grants, stock options or SARs. Any of these awards may be granted as a performance-based award, the vesting of which is subject to achievement of applicable performance goals established by the MDCC.
Restricted Stock Awards . A restricted stock award is an award of common stock subject to conditions or contingencies, which may be time- or performance-based. Until such conditions or contingencies are satisfied or lapse, the common stock is subject to forfeiture.
Stock Unit Awards . A stock unit award entitles the recipient to a payment equal to the value of the underlying common stock following vesting. Stock unit awards may be settled in cash, shares of common stock or a combination of both. Stock units generally are subject to time- or performance-based vesting restrictions.
Stock Grants . A stock grant is an award of shares of common stock that generally is not subject to restrictions or other forfeiture conditions. Stock grants may be awarded only in limited circumstances.
Stock Options . Stock options entitle a participant to purchase shares of common stock during the option term at a fixed “exercise” price. Stock options may either be ISOs, which qualify for favorable tax treatment for the option holder, or non-statutory stock options (NSOs), which do not. ISOs may be granted only to participants who meet the definition of “employees” under Section 3401 of the Code. The exercise price for all stock options (other than substitute awards) must be at least the fair market value of Raytheon’s common stock on the grant date.
The maximum term of a stock option is ten years, subject to earlier termination upon termination of service. The exercise price is payable in one or more of the following forms as determined by the MDCC: (i) cash; (ii) net exercise or broker-assisted cashless exercise; (iii) delivery of other shares of common stock having a fair market value on the exercise date equal to the exercise price of the shares to be purchased; or (iv) such other form or forms as the MDCC may approve.
Stock Appreciation Rights . SARs entitle the participant to receive, on exercise, a payment having a value equal to the excess of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the exercise date over the SAR base price. SARs may be granted either alone or in combination with a stock option. The term during which each SAR may be exercised will be determined by the MDCC, but no SAR may be exercised on or after the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. Payment may be in cash, shares of common stock or a combination of both. SARs granted in tandem with a stock option will be exercisable only to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as the related option.
Performance-Based Awards . A performance-based award may be any form of award permitted under the 2019 Stock Plan. The MDCC will determine the terms of any performance-based awards, including the applicable performance goals, achievement of the same, and the length of the applicable performance period. Performance goals may include the
PROPOSAL 3: APPROVAL OF THE RAYTHEON 2019 STOCK PLAN | RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT 79 |
following performance criteria: (i) free or operating cash flow (before or after dividends), (ii) earnings per share (including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), (iii) stock price, (iv) return on equity, (v) shareholder return or total shareholder return, (vi) return on capital (including return on total capital or return on invested capital), (vii) return on investment, (viii) return on assets or net assets, (ix) market capitalization, (x) debt leverage (debt to capital), (xi) net sales, (xii) backlog, (xiii) net income or net income attributable to Raytheon, (xiv) income or operating income from continuing operations (before or after tax), (xv) operating profit, net operating profit or economic profit, (xvi) gross margin, operating margin or profit margin, (xvii) return on operating revenue or return on operating assets, (xviii) operating ratio, (xix) market share improvement, (xx) bookings or (xxi) working capital turnover. The MDCC also may grant performance-based awards that are based on criteria other than those set forth above.
Substitute Awards . The MDCC may grant awards to employees of companies acquired by Raytheon or any affiliate of Raytheon, or with which Raytheon or any affiliate combines, in exchange for or upon assumption of outstanding equity awards issued by such companies. Shares covered by substitute awards will not reduce the number of shares otherwise available for awards under the 2019 Stock Plan.
OTHER PROVISIONS
Shareholders Rights . Unless otherwise provided by the MDCC, a recipient of a restricted stock award has the right to receive dividends and to vote the shares relating to such award during the applicable vesting period, except that dividends payable on a performance-based restricted stock award will be paid only to the extent that the underlying performance goals are achieved and the restricted stock award vests. For all other awards, a participant generally will not have any voting or dividend rights until such participant becomes the holder of record of the shares underlying such awards. However, except as otherwise provided by the MDCC or the Governance and Nominating Committee: (i) recipients of time-based stock unit awards have the right to receive amounts equal to any cash dividends paid during the vesting period and (ii) recipients of performance-based stock unit awards have the right to receive dividend equivalents with respect to the applicable vesting period only to the extent the stock unit award vests.
Adjustment Provisions . In connection with certain corporate transactions, including extraordinary dividends, stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, recapitalizations, exchange of shares, spin-offs, and other similar changes in Raytheons capital structure, the MDCC will equitably adjust the number of shares of common stock available under the 2019 Stock Plan and the shares of common stock and purchase price covered by any outstanding award to prevent any dilution or enlargement of benefits, so that the recipient of the award is treated in the same manner as holders of the underlying common stock.
Transferability of Awards . Under the 2019 Stock Plan, ISOs may be exercised during the participants lifetime only by the participant and may not be assigned or transferred, other than pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution following the participants death. All other awards generally are subject to the same limitations on transferability as ISOs. The MDCC may structure awards to allow the participant to assign the award, in whole or in part, during the participants lifetime to one or more immediate family members or to a trust established exclusively for the participant and/or such immediate family members, to the extent such assignment is in connection with the participants estate plan or pursuant to a domestic relations order.
Valuation . The fair market value per share of our common stock under the 2019 Stock Plan on any relevant date is deemed to be equal to the closing selling price per share on that date as determined by the NYSE (or if there was no sale on that date, on the last preceding date on which a sale was reported). As of March 29, 2019, the fair market value of our common stock determined on such basis was $182.08 per share.
Change in Control Provisions . In the event of a change in control (as such term is defined in the 2019 Stock Plan), one or more of the following actions may occur with respect to outstanding awards: (i) the award is assumed by the successor entity; (ii) the award is cancelled and substituted with an award granted by the successor entity; (iii) the award is continued pursuant to the terms of the change in control transaction; (iv) the vesting conditions of the award lapse, in whole or in part; (v) the award terminates; or (vi) the award is cancelled in exchange for a cash payment for each vested share of common stock (and, if so determined by the MDCC, each unvested share of stock).
Deferred Compensation . The MDCC may, in its sole discretion, structure one or more awards (other than stock options and SARs) so that the participant may be provided with an election to defer the compensation associated with those awards for federal income tax purposes. Any such award must comply with all applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
80 RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT | PROPOSAL 3: APPROVAL OF THE RAYTHEON 2019 STOCK PLAN |
The Governance and Nominating Committee also may implement a non-employee director retainer fee deferral program that allows non-employee directors the opportunity to elect to convert Board and Board committee retainer fees to be earned for a fiscal year into restricted stock units that defer the issuance of the shares of common stock that vest under those units until a permissible date or event under Code Section 409A.
To the extent we maintain one or more separate non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements that allow participants the opportunity to make notional investments of their deferred account balances in shares of common stock, the MDCC may authorize the share reserve under the 2019 Stock Plan to serve as the source of any shares of common stock that become payable under those deferred compensation arrangements.
Term, Amendment and Termination . The 2019 Stock Plan will become effective as of the Effective Date. If the shareholder vote on the 2019 Stock Plan at the Annual Meeting is postponed, the 2019 Stock Plan will be effective on such date on which a shareholders meeting to vote to approve the 2019 Stock Plan occurs. Until such time, the 2010 Plan will continue in effect, in accordance with its terms, and awards will continue to be granted under the 2010 Plan until its termination, subject to previously authorized share limits.
The MDCC may amend the 2019 Stock Plan at any time, except that no amendment may (i) increase the number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2019 Stock Plan, (ii) change the class of eligible participants, or (iii) make any other change for which shareholder approval is required by law or the rules of any relevant stock exchange without appropriate shareholder approval, including any changes to the 2019 Stock Plans prohibition on repricing.
The 2019 Stock Plan will terminate upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the close of business on the date immediately preceding the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the 2019 Stock Plan have been issued as fully vested shares, (iii) the termination of all outstanding awards in connection with a change in control (as defined in the 2019 Stock Plan), or (iv) the termination by the Board of the 2019 Stock Plan.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF AWARDS
The following is a summary of the United States federal income tax treatment applicable to Raytheon and the participants who receive awards under the 2019 Stock Plan.
Restricted Stock, Stock Unit Awards, Stock Grants and SARs . Awards in cash and common stock are generally taxable as compensation to the participant at the time of payment. Awards of restricted stock do not constitute taxable income to the participant until the restrictions lapse, unless the participant elects to realize taxable ordinary income in the year of award in an amount equal to the fair market value of the restricted stock award, determined without regard to the restrictions. Awards of SARs and stock unit awards do not constitute taxable income until such time as the participant receives cash or common stock under the terms of the awards. The amount of taxable income to the participant generally is equal to the total amount of the cash and/or fair market value of the shares of common stock received. Any interest and dividend equivalents earned on awards also will be taxed as compensation to the participant. Amounts taxable as compensation are subject to withholding and employment taxes.
Incentive Stock Options . Except with respect to participants who may have to pay alternative minimum tax in connection with the exercise of an ISO, there are no federal income tax consequences to a participant upon grant or exercise of an ISO. If the participant holds shares of common stock purchased upon exercise of an ISO for at least two years after the grant date and at least one year after the exercise date, the subsequent sale of common stock will give rise to a long-term capital gain or loss to the participant. If the participant sells the shares of common stock before the later of two years after the grant date or one year after the exercise date, the participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the difference between the (i) lower of the fair market value at the exercise or sale date and (ii) option exercise price; any additional gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss.
Nonstatutory Stock Options . Generally, there are no federal income tax consequences to the participant upon grant of an NSO. Upon the exercise of an NSO, the participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of the common stock acquired upon the exercise of the option exceeds the exercise price. A sale of common stock so acquired will give rise to a capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the fair market value of the common stock on the exercise and sale dates.
PROPOSAL 3: APPROVAL OF THE RAYTHEON 2019 STOCK PLAN | RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT 81 |
Company Deduction . Raytheon generally may deduct any compensation or ordinary income recognized by the recipient of an award under the 2019 Stock Plan when recognized, subject to the limits of Code Section 162(m). Prior to 2018, Code Section 162(m) imposed a $1 million limit on the amount a public company may deduct for compensation paid to a company’s chief executive officer or any of the company’s three other most highly compensated executive officers (other than the chief financial officer) who are employed as of the end of the year. This limitation did not apply to compensation that met Code requirements for “qualified performance-based compensation.”
The performance-based compensation exemption and the exemption of the chief financial officer from Code Section 162(m)’s deduction limit have been repealed, among other changes, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, such that awards paid under the 2019 Stock Plan to our covered executive officers (including our chief executive officer) may not be deductible in future years due to the application of the $1 million deduction limitation. As in prior years, while deductibility of executive compensation for federal income tax purposes is among the factors the MDCC considers when structuring our executive compensation, it is not the sole or primary factor considered. Our Board and the MDCC retain the flexibility to authorize compensation that may not be deductible if they believe it is in our best interests.
NEW PLAN BENEFITS
No awards have been granted under the 2019 Stock Plan. Future awards under the 2019 Stock Plan will be made at the discretion of the MDCC and Governance and Nominating Committee, as applicable. Therefore, the benefits and amounts that will be received or allocated under the 2019 Stock Plan in the future are not determinable at this time. For information regarding outstanding equity awards held by our named executive officers and non-employee directors as of December 31, 2018 under the 2010 Plan, please refer to the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End and Non-Employee Director Total Compensation tables on pages 62 and 87, respectively, of this proxy statement.
FOR |
The Board unanimously recommends that you vote FOR approval of the 2019 Stock Plan. Proxies solicited by the Board will be so voted unless shareholders specify otherwise in their proxies. |

This amount includes 771,925 shares, which is the aggregate of the actual number of shares that will be issued pursuant to the 2016 Long-term Performance Plan (LTPP) awards and the maximum number of shares that may be issued upon settlement of outstanding 2017 and 2018 LTPP awards, including estimated dividend equivalent amounts. The shares to be issued pursuant to the 2016, 2017 and 2018 LTPP awards will be issued under the Raytheon 2010 Stock Plan. The material terms of the 2016, 2017 and 2018 LTPP awards are described in more detail in “Note 13: Stock-based Compensation Plans” within Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. These awards are granted as restricted stock units (RSUs) and though generally settled in stock, may be settled in cash, stock or a combination of both cash and stock at the discretion of the MDCC. |
This amount also includes 519,128 shares that may be issued upon settlement of RSUs, generally issued to retirement-eligible and non-U.S. employees. The shares to be issued in settlement of the RSUs will be issued under the 2010 Stock Plan. The RSUs generally vest one-third per year on the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant. |

Since RSU awards do not have an exercise price, and there are no other options, warrants or rights outstanding at December 31, 2018, the weighted-average exercise price is zero. |

PROPOSAL 4:
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP
(Item No. 4 on the Proxy Card)
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has reappointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019. We are asking shareholders to ratify this appointment. Representatives of PwC are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They may make a statement, and they will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
In the event that shareholders fail to ratify the appointment of PwC, the Audit Committee may reconsider the appointment. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of Raytheon and its shareholders.
FOR |
The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote FOR ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Raytheons independent auditors. Proxies solicited by the Board will be so voted unless shareholders specify otherwise in their proxies. |
PROPOSAL 4: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP RAYTHEON | RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT 83 |
The following report of the Audit Committee does not constitute soliciting material and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any other filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including by any general statement incorporating this proxy statement, except to the extent we specifically incorporate this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such statutes.
The Audit Committee is composed entirely of independent directors who meet the independence and financial literacy requirements of the NYSE and the SEC. The Audit Committee focuses, among other things, on: (1) the integrity of Raytheons financial statements; (2) the independence, qualifications and performance of Raytheons independent audit firm; and (3) the performance of Raytheons internal auditors.
The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the independent registered public accounting firm retained to audit Raytheons financial statements. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), or one of its predecessor firms, has been retained as Raytheons independent audit firm continuously since 1961. In connection with the foregoing, the Audit Committee carefully considers PwCs independence. In 2018, we received the written disclosures and letter from PwC required by applicable Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) requirements regarding independent registered public accounting firm communications with audit committees concerning independence. These documents report that PwC is independent under applicable standards in connection with its audit opinion for Raytheons 2018 financial statements. We also periodically discuss with PwC its independence from Raytheon and work with PwC on the planning for and selection of a new lead engagement partner in conjunction with the mandatory rotation of the lead engagement partner every five years. We also have from time to time considered whether to rotate the independent audit firm.
The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and non-audit services to be provided by PwC, and the fees for those services, in order to ensure that they do not impair PwCs independence. Our Chair has the delegated authority to pre-approve services with fees up to $100,000, and these pre-approvals are later to be reviewed and ratified at our next meeting. We further require PwC and management to report on actual fees charged for each category of service periodically throughout the year. The Audit Committee reviews the scope of the annual integrated audit and the related PwC engagement letter, which our Chair signs on behalf of the Committee. We also discuss with PwC the qualifications of the independent auditors working on the Raytheon account and the planning and staffing of the audit. Based on the foregoing, we believe that the continued retention of PwC to serve as Raytheons independent audit firm in 2019 is in the best interests of Raytheon and its shareholders.
The Audit Committee meets with management periodically to consider the adequacy of Raytheons internal controls and the objectivity of its financial reporting. We discuss these matters with PwC and with appropriate Raytheon management personnel and internal auditors. We regularly meet privately with both PwC and the internal auditors, each of whom has unrestricted access to the Audit Committee. We also regularly review the performance of the internal audit function.
Management has primary responsibility for Raytheons financial statements and the overall financial reporting process, including Raytheons system of internal controls. Raytheons independent audit firm is responsible for (i) performing an audit of the annual financial statements prepared by management, (ii) expressing an opinion as to whether those financial statements fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Raytheon in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, (iii) expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Raytheons internal control over financial reporting, and (iv) discussing with us any issues they believe should be raised with us.
During fiscal year 2018, we reviewed Raytheons audited financial statements and met with both management and PwC to discuss those financial statements. Management has represented to us that the financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and PwC has issued an unqualified audit report regarding such financial statements.
Periodically throughout fiscal year 2018, we reviewed with management and PwC Raytheons progress in testing and evaluating Raytheons internal control over financial reporting. We have reviewed managements assessment and report on the effectiveness of Raytheons internal control over financial reporting. We also have reviewed PwCs audit report on the effectiveness of Raytheons internal control over financial reporting included in Raytheons Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.
84 RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT | PROPOSAL 4: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP |
We reviewed and discussed with PwC the matters required to be communicated by PwC to the Audit Committee by Auditing Standard No. 1301 (Communications with Audit Committees) adopted by the PCAOB. We also discussed with management the significant accounting estimates utilized by Raytheon, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.
Based on the reviews and discussions with management and PwC referred to above, including our determination of PwC’s independence, we recommended to the Board that Raytheon’s audited financial statements be included in Raytheon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

The amounts shown above do not include PwC fees and expenses of approximately $0.9 million in both 2018 and 2017 paid by our pension plans for audits of financial statements of such plans and certain international tax compliance services. These services were rendered by PwC to the pension plans and were billed directly to such plans.
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION | RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT 85 |
DETERMINATION AND ASSESSMENT OF NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
The Governance and Nominating Committee annually reviews non-employee director compensation and makes compensation recommendations to the Board for approval. The Committee has identified certain guiding principles relating to such compensation, including:
● | Average total director compensation should be close to, but generally slightly lagging, the median of our peers;* |
● | Annual director compensation should include a meaningful equity component to promote the alignment of director and shareholder interests from a long-term perspective; and |
● | Individual director compensation should appropriately reflect differing degrees of responsibility and different time commitments. |
INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT ASSESSMENT
In connection with its annual review, the Governance and Nominating Committee considers an assessment provided by the same independent compensation consultant retained by the MDCC for executive compensation purposes. In 2018, FW Cook served as the independent compensation consultant and provided this assessment, which found:
● | The non-employee director compensation program is competitive with the practices of Raytheon’s executive compensation peers (core and broader peer groups) in terms of magnitude; |
● | Average annual per-director compensation (cash plus equity) approximates the median for non-employee director compensation relative to our peers; and |
● | The structure of the program is generally aligned with peer policy and good governance practices.* |
2018 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
After completing its annual review of director compensation, with the benefit of FW Cook’s assessment, the Governance and Nominating Committee recommended that there be no increases to any of the elements of non-employee director compensation.
* | For more information on the core and broader peer groups, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Peer Groups and Market Data” beginning on page 43. |
86 RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT | DIRECTOR COMPENSATION |
ELEMENTS OF DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
ANNUAL EQUITY AWARDS
Each non-employee director receives an award of restricted stock unless the director elects to receive deferred RSUs. A director’s shares of restricted stock are entitled to full dividend and voting rights upon issuance. The restricted stock vests on the date of the Annual Meeting of shareholders in the calendar year following the year of grant, or upon the earlier of termination as a director after a change in control of Raytheon, or the director’s death. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, a director who terminates service on the Board for any reason, other than a change in control or death, will forfeit all unvested restricted stock awards. Prorated awards for directors elected between Annual Meetings vest on the date of the next Annual Meeting.
A director’s deferred RSUs vest in accordance with the same terms and conditions as restricted stock, but there is no payout of common stock upon vesting until the earlier of (i) five years from the grant date, (ii) separation from service as a board member, (iii) a change in control of Raytheon, or (iv) the director’s death. There are no voting rights associated with the RSUs. A dividend equivalent amount is paid on RSUs upon vesting. For RSUs that have vested, dividend-equivalent amounts are paid on the same basis as dividends paid on shares of common stock.
FORCEPOINT BOARD COMPENSATION
In May 2015, following Raytheon’s acquisition of Websense, Inc., Raytheon created Forcepoint, a cybersecurity joint venture company (with a minority owner, Vista Equity Partners). At the request of the Raytheon Board, Mr. Beauchamp serves on the Forcepoint board. In that capacity, he receives a separate annual cash retainer of $75,000 and a fee of $1,500 for each meeting he attends.

Each of our non-employee directors held 668 shares of unvested restricted stock as of December 31, 2018, other than Mr. Clark, who held 912 shares, Ms. Pawlikowski who held 492 shares, and Ms. Stewart who held 667 shares. | |

DIRECTOR STOCK OWNERSHIP AND RETENTION GUIDELINES
The Board believes that directors should be shareholders and have a financial stake in Raytheon. Accordingly, non-employee directors are paid a substantial portion of their compensation in equity awards. Further, each director is required to own Raytheon securities with a value of at least five times the annual cash retainer applicable to all non-employee directors within five years of election to the Board. A director may not dispose of Raytheon stock until attaining the requisite ownership threshold, and thereafter must maintain such equity ownership level. As of December 31, 2018, each of our non-employee directors with five or more years of service had met or exceeded this stock ownership requirement.
POLICY AGAINST CERTAIN RAYTHEON STOCK TRANSACTIONS
Our non-employee directors are subject to Raytheon’s Insider Trading Policy, which restricts them from certain short sales, derivative transactions, hedging, and other transactions involving Raytheon securities. The policy also prohibits the purchase of Raytheon securities on margin or otherwise pledging Raytheon securities as collateral for a loan.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors, executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of holdings and transactions in our common stock with the SEC and the NYSE. Based on our records and other information, we believe that, in 2018, none of our directors, executive officers or 10% shareholders failed to file a required report on time.
We have not received any shareholder proposals for consideration at the 2019 Annual Meeting that are required to be included in our proxy materials pursuant to our by-laws or Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor have we been notified that any shareholder intends to otherwise present a proposal at the meeting pursuant to our by-laws.
We continue to make corporate governance, particularly shareholder concerns, a priority. Management remains open to engaging in dialogue with respect to shareholder concerns and to sharing our views regarding our governance generally. We encourage any shareholder wishing to meet with management to contact the Office of the Corporate Secretary.
Any shareholder who intends to present a proposal at the 2020 Annual Meeting, including nominee(s) for director under our Proxy Access by-law, must deliver the proposal in the manner specified below:
● | Between November 18, 2019, and December 18, 2019, if the proposal is a nominee or nominees submitted for inclusion in our proxy materials for the 2020 Annual Meeting pursuant to our Proxy Access by-law; |
● | No later than December 18, 2019, if the proposal is submitted for inclusion in our proxy materials for the 2020 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or |
● | Between January 31, 2020, and March 1, 2020, if the proposal is submitted in accordance with Section 2.7 of our by-laws, in which case we are not required to include the proposal in our proxy materials. |
All shareholder proposals must be sent to the Corporate Secretary at Raytheon Company, 870 Winter Street, Waltham, Massachusetts 02451, either by U.S. mail or a delivery service, or by facsimile to 781-522-3332.
GENERAL INFORMATION | RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT 91 |
We are providing these proxy materials in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of Raytheon Company of proxies to be voted at our 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and at any meeting following adjournment thereof.
We are first making available this proxy statement and accompanying forms of proxy and voting instructions on or about April 16, 2019, to holders of shares of our common stock as of Tuesday, April 2, 2019, the record date for the meeting. This proxy statement and our 2018 Annual Report also are available on our website at www.raytheon.com/proxy.
If you are a shareholder of record as of the record date for the meeting and you plan to attend the meeting in person, you will need valid picture identification, such as a drivers license or passport, to enter the meeting.
If you hold your shares through a broker, bank, trust or other holder of record and you plan to attend the meeting in person, we will admit you only if we can verify that you are a Raytheon shareholder as of the record date. You should bring a letter or account statement demonstrating that you were the beneficial owner of our common stock on the record date, along with valid picture identification, to be admitted to the meeting.
Your vote is important. Many shareholders cannot attend the meeting in person, and instead will be represented by proxy. Most shareholders have a choice of voting over the Internet, by using a toll-free telephone number, or by returning a completed proxy card or voting instruction form. Please check your notice, proxy card or the information forwarded by your broker, bank, trust or other holder of record to see which options are available to you. The Internet and telephone voting procedures have been designed to authenticate shareholders, to allow you to vote your shares, and to confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded. The Internet and telephone voting facilities for shareholders of record will close at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, May 29, 2019. If your shares are held through a broker, bank, trust or other holder of record and Internet or telephone facilities are made available to you, these facilities may close sooner than those for shareholders of record.
You can revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised by delivering a properly executed, later-dated proxy (including an Internet or telephone vote) or by voting by ballot at the meeting. Executing your proxy in advance will not limit your right to vote at the meeting if you decide to attend in person. However, if your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank, trust or other holder of record, you cannot vote at the meeting unless you have a legal proxy, executed in your favor, from the holder of record.
All shares entitled to vote and represented by properly executed proxies received prior to the meeting and not revoked will be voted at the meeting in accordance with your instructions. If you sign and return your proxy but do not indicate how your shares should be voted on a matter, the shares represented by your proxy will be voted as the Board of Directors recommends.
Shareholders of our common stock at the close of business on the record date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting. On April 2, 2019, there were 280,222,177 shares of our common stock outstanding. Each share is entitled to one vote.
If you are a participant in our Dividend Reinvestment Plan, shares acquired under the plan may be voted in the same manner as the shares that generated the dividends for reinvestment. Thus, these shares may be voted by following the same procedures as those described above.
If you are a participant in the Raytheon Savings and Investment Plan, your proxy will serve as the voting instructions to the trustee for all shares you own through the plan. If you own shares through this plan and do not provide voting instructions, the trustee will vote your shares at the meeting in the same proportion as shares for which instructions were received.
92 RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT | GENERAL INFORMATION |
QUORUM
The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote for the election of directors is necessary to constitute a quorum. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum.
BROKER NON-VOTES
A broker non-vote occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner (i.e., in “street name”) does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. A broker non-vote has no impact on voting results. We believe that nominees only have discretionary voting power with respect to the ballot item on ratification of auditors described in this proxy statement.
REQUIRED VOTE
The table below shows the voting requirement for each proposal to be presented at the Annual Meeting.
OTHER MATTERS PRESENTED AT THE MEETING
If any other matters are properly presented for consideration at the meeting, including consideration of a motion to adjourn the meeting to another time or place, the persons named in the proxy card will have discretion to vote on those matters according to their best judgment to the same extent as the person signing the proxy would be entitled to vote. At the date of this proxy statement, we do not anticipate that any other matters will be raised at the meeting.
GENERAL INFORMATION | RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT 93 |
All votes will be tabulated by an independent business entity, which will not disclose your vote except as:
● | required by law; |
● | necessary in connection with a judicial or regulatory action or proceeding; |
● | necessary in connection with a contested proxy solicitation; or |
● | requested or otherwise disclosed by you. |
If a comment written on a proxy card is provided to our Corporate Secretary, it will be done so without disclosing your vote unless necessary to an understanding of the comment.
MULTIPLE COPIES OF ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
If you received more than one copy of the 2018 Annual Report, you may wish to reduce the number of reports you receive to save us mailing and production costs and reduce waste. When you vote over the Internet, you will have an opportunity to request electronic delivery of reports for some or all of your accounts. This request will not affect how you receive dividends, dividend reinvestment statements and special notices.
We have adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called “householding.” Under this procedure, we are permitted to deliver a single copy of our proxy statement and annual report to shareholders sharing the same address unless we receive contrary instructions from any such shareholder. Householding allows us to reduce our printing and postage costs and reduces the volume of duplicative information you receive. If you wish to receive an additional copy of our annual report or proxy statement this year, you may obtain one by calling Raytheon Investor Relations at 781-522-5123 or by writing to the Corporate Secretary at Raytheon Company, 870 Winter Street, Waltham, Massachusetts 02451. You also may request copies of our annual disclosure documents on our website at www.raytheon.com in the Investors section under the heading “Request Information.”
Street-name shareholders who wish to revoke consent to householding so each shareholder at their address can receive an individual copy of our proxy statement and annual report in the future may call Broadridge Investor Communications Services toll-free at 1-866-540-7095, or write to Broadridge Investor Communications Services, Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717. Shareholders of record who wish to revoke consent to householding may call Raytheon Shareholder Services toll-free at 1-800-360-4519, or write to Raytheon Shareholder Services, c/o American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11219.

You can make such a request by following the instructions contained on the notice, or in the same way you would request electronic delivery, as set forth in the following paragraph.

If you are a shareholder of record, you may choose electronic delivery by following the instructions provided when you vote over the Internet or by following the instructions published on our website at www.raytheon.com/proxy. If you hold our common stock through a broker, bank, trust or other holder of record, you will receive information from that entity regarding the availability of electronic delivery. Your choice will remain in effect until you cancel your election at www.raytheon.com/proxy. You do not have to elect Internet access each year.
We will pay the cost of soliciting proxies. Proxies may be solicited on behalf of Raytheon by directors, officers or employees of Raytheon in person or by telephone, facsimile or other electronic means. We have retained D.F. King & Co., Inc. (D.F. King) to assist in the distribution and solicitation of proxies. Based on our agreement with D.F. King, we anticipate paying fees ranging from approximately $30,000 up to approximately $100,000, plus out-of-pocket expenses, for these services, depending upon the extent of proxy solicitation efforts undertaken.
As required by the SEC and the NYSE, we also will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their expenses incurred in sending proxies and proxy materials to beneficial owners of our common stock.
SHAREHOLDER ACCOUNT MAINTENANCE
Our transfer agent is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (AST).

However, in no event shall a Change in Control be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Plan if a Participant is included in a Person that consummates the Change in Control. A Participant shall not be deemed to be included in a Person by reason of ownership of (i) less than 3% of the equity in the Person or (ii) an equity interest in the Person that is otherwise not significant as determined prior to the Change in Control by a majority of the non-employee continuing directors of the Company.

(a) Share certificates with respect to Restricted Stock Awards shall be issued (or the shares shall be held in a book entry position through the transfer agents direct registration service) at the time of grant of the Restricted Stock Award, subject to forfeiture if the applicable restrictions are not satisfied. If share certificates are issued at the time of grant of the Restricted Stock Award, the certificates shall bear an appropriate legend with respect to the restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock Award (as described in Section 11.2) or, alternatively, the Participant may be required to deposit the certificates with the Company during the period of any restriction thereon and to execute a blank stock power or other instrument of transfer. If shares are in a book entry position with the transfer agents direct registration service, the restrictions shall be appropriately noted.
(b) Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, during the Vesting Period applicable to a Restricted Stock Award, the Participant shall have all of the rights of a holder of Stock, including but not limited to the rights to receive dividends with respect to and to vote the shares subject to the Award, except that with respect to Restricted Stock Awards that vest based on achievement of pre-established performance goals, any dividends otherwise payable during the Vesting Period shall be paid only if, as, and to the extent the Restricted Stock Award vests. Upon lapse of restrictions on a Restricted Stock Award, the Committee may provide that, to the extent not already received, the Participant will be entitled to receive any amounts per share pursuant to any dividend or distribution paid by the Company on its Stock to stockholders of record after grant of the Restricted Stock Award and prior to the issuance of the share certificates (or holding in a book entry position through the transfer agent).

(iii) Any cash payments (in exchange for cancellation of an Award) subject to vesting shall become fully vested (subject to any escrow, holdback, earn-out or similar provisions applicable to holders of Stock).
ARTICLE XIV
14. Minimum Vesting Requirement . Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, Awards granted under the Plan shall not vest over a period of less than one year from the date on which the Award is granted; provided, that the following Awards shall not be subject to the foregoing minimum vesting requirement: any (i) Substitute Awards granted pursuant to Section 5.6, (ii) Awards to Directors that vest on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the date of grant and the next annual meeting of stockholders which is at least 50 weeks after the immediately preceding year’s annual meeting, and (iii) any additional Awards the Committee may grant, up to a maximum of five percent (5%) of the available share reserve authorized for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section 5.1 (subject to adjustment under Article XIII); and, provided, further, that the foregoing restriction does not apply to the Committee’s discretion to provide for accelerated exercisability or vesting of any Award, including in cases of retirement, death, Disability or a Change in Control, in the terms of the Award Agreement or otherwise.
ARTICLE XV

ARTICLE XVI
16. Amendment and Termination .
16.1 Amendment . The Committee may amend the Plan at any time and from time to time, provided that (i) no amendment shall materially adversely affect the rights and obligations with respect to Awards at the time outstanding under the Plan unless the Participant consents to such amendment (except as provided in Section 17.6), and (ii) without approval of the Company’s stockholders, no amendment may (A) increase the number of shares of Stock which may be issued under the Plan, (B) change the class of persons eligible for Awards, or (C) effect any other change for which stockholder approval is required by law or the rules of any relevant stock exchange; provided, however, that no such stockholder approval is required for any equitable adjustments made pursuant to Section 13.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may amend the Plan and/or any Award granted under the Plan at any time and from time to time, without the consent of affected Participants and their beneficiaries, to the extent necessary to cause the Plan or Award to comply with applicable law, stock exchange rules or accounting rules.
16.2 Sub-Plans . The Committee shall have the discretionary authority to adopt and implement from time to time such addenda or subplans to the Plan as it may deem necessary in order to bring the Plan into compliance with applicable laws and regulations of any foreign jurisdictions in which Awards are to be made under the Plan and/or to obtain favorable tax treatment in those foreign jurisdictions for the individuals to whom the Awards are made.
108 RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT | APPENDIX A RAYTHEON 2019 STOCK PLAN |
16.3 Excess Shares . Awards may be made under the Plan that involve shares of Stock in excess of the number of shares then available for issuance under the Plan, provided no shares shall actually be issued pursuant to those Awards until the number of shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan is sufficiently increased by stockholder approval of an amendment of the Plan authorizing such increase. If such stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months after the date the first excess Award is made, then all Awards granted on the basis of such excess shares shall terminate and cease to be outstanding.
16.4 Termination . The Board reserves the right to terminate the Plan in whole or in part at any time, without the consent of any person granted any rights under the Plan. The Plan shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the close of business on the date immediately preceding the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date, (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the Plan shall have been issued as fully vested shares, (iii) the termination of all outstanding Awards in connection with a Change in Control, or (iv) the termination of the Plan by the Board. Should the Plan terminate under clause (i) or clause (iv) above, then all Awards outstanding at that time shall continue to have force and effect in accordance with the provisions of the documents evidencing those Awards.
ARTICLE XVII
17. Other Terms and Conditions .
17.1 Deferred Compensation .
(a) The Committee may, in its sole discretion, structure one or more Awards (other than Options and SARs) so that the Participants may be provided with an election to defer the compensation associated with those Awards for federal income tax purposes. Any such Award shall comply with all applicable requirements of Code Section 409A.
(b) The Committee may implement a Director fee deferral program under the Plan so as to allow the Directors the opportunity to elect to convert Board and Board committee fees to be earned for such year into Stock Units under the Plan that will defer the issuance of the shares of Stock that vest under those Stock Units until a permissible date or event under Code Section 409A. The Committee shall have the authority to establish such rules and procedures as it deems appropriate for the filing of such deferral elections and the designation of the permissible distribution events under Code Section 409A.
(c) To the extent the Company maintains one or more separate non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements which allow Participants the opportunity to make notional investments of their deferred account balances in shares of Stock, the Committee may authorize the share reserve under the Plan to serve as the source of any shares of Stock that become payable under those deferred compensation arrangements. In such event, the share reserve under the Plan shall be reduced on a share-for-share basis for each share of Stock issued under the Plan in settlement of the deferred compensation owed under those separate arrangements.
17.2 Transferability of Awards . The transferability of Awards granted under the Plan shall be governed by the following provisions:
(a) Incentive Options . During the lifetime of the Participant, Incentive Options shall be exercisable only by the Participant and shall not be assignable or transferable other than by will or the laws of inheritance following the Participants death.
(b) Other Awards . All other Awards shall be subject to the same limitation on transfer as Incentive Options, except that the Committee (or its delegatee) may structure one or more such Awards so that the Award may be assigned in whole or in part during the Participants lifetime to one or more Immediate Family members of the Participant or to a trust established exclusively for the Participant and/or such Immediate Family members, to the extent such assignment is in connection with the Participants estate plan or pursuant to a domestic relations order. The assigned portion of an Award may only be exercised (if applicable) by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the Award pursuant to the assignment. The terms applicable to the assigned portion of the Award shall be the same as those in effect for the Award immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such documents issued to the assignee as the Committee may deem appropriate.
APPENDIX A RAYTHEON 2019 STOCK PLAN | RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT 109 |
17.3 Beneficiary Designation . Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may, to the extent permitted by the Committee, designate one or more persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of some or all of his or her outstanding Awards, and those Awards shall, in accordance with such designation, automatically be transferred to such beneficiary or beneficiaries upon the Participants death while holding those Awards. Such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred Awards subject to all the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement evidencing each such transferred Award, including (without limitation) the limited time period during which the Award may be exercised (if applicable) following the Participants death.
17.4 Stockholders Rights . A Participant shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to shares of Stock covered by a Restricted Stock Award (subject to the limitation in Section 11.3(b)). A Participant shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to shares of Stock covered by any other Award until the Participant becomes the holder of record of such shares. No Option or SAR shall include the right to receive dividends (or amounts equivalent to or in lieu of dividends) on any shares subject to such Award prior to its exercise. However, a Participant may be granted the right to receive dividends under Section 11.3(b) or dividend equivalents under Section 11.4(c) with respect to one or more Awards granted under Article XI.
17.5 Repricing Programs . The Committee shall not have the authority, except pursuant to Article XIII or in connection with a Change in Control to (i) implement cancellation/regrant programs pursuant to which outstanding Options or SARs under the Plan are cancelled and new options or SARs are granted in replacement with a lower exercise or base price per share, (ii) cancel outstanding Options or SARs under the Plan with exercise or base prices per share in excess of the then current Fair Market Value per share of Stock for consideration payable in cash, other Awards, or in equity securities of the Company or (iii) reduce the exercise or base price in effect for outstanding Options or SARs under the Plan, in any case without stockholder approval.
17.6 Clawback/Recoupment . Participants shall be subject to any clawback, recoupment or other similar policy required by law or regulations or adopted by the Board as in effect from time to time and Awards and any cash, shares of Stock or other property or amounts due, paid or issued to a Participant shall be subject to the terms of such policy, as in effect from time to time.
17.7 Compliance with Governmental Regulations . Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or the terms of any Award Agreement entered into pursuant to the Plan, the Company shall not be required to issue any shares hereunder prior to registration of the shares subject to the Plan under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, if such registration shall be necessary, or before compliance by the Company or any Participant with any other provisions of either of those acts or of regulations or rulings of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, or before compliance with other federal, state or foreign laws and regulations and rulings thereunder, including the rules of any applicable stock exchange. The Company shall use its best efforts to effect such registrations and to comply with such laws, regulations and rulings forthwith upon advice by its counsel that any such registration or compliance is necessary.
17.8 Company Charter and By-Laws; Other Company Policies . This Plan and all Awards granted hereunder are subject to the charter and By-Laws of the Company, as they may be amended from time to time, and all other Company policies duly adopted by the Board, the Committee or any other committee of the Board and as in effect from time to time regarding the acquisition, ownership or sale of Stock by employees and other service providers, including, without limitation, policies intended to limit the potential for insider trading.
17.9 No Trust or Fund Created . Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and a Participant or any other person. To the extent that any Participant or other person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.
17.10 No Guarantee of Employment . Participation in this Plan shall not be construed to confer upon any Participant the legal right to be retained in the employ of the Company or give any person any right to any payment whatsoever, except to the extent of the benefits provided for hereunder. Each Participant shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if this Plan had never been adopted. Nothing in this Plan shall prevent, interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate a Participants employment at any time, whether or not such termination would result in: (i) the failure
110 RAYTHEON 2019 PROXY STATEMENT | APPENDIX A RAYTHEON 2019 STOCK PLAN |
of any Award to vest; (ii) the forfeiture of any unvested or vested portion of any Award under the Plan; and/or (iii) any other adverse effect on the Participants interests under the Plan.
17.11 No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements . Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or its Affiliates from adopting or continuing in effect other compensation arrangements (whether such arrangements be generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases) as the Committee in its discretion determines desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options, stock awards, stock appreciation rights or phantom stock units otherwise than under the Plan.
17.12 Governing Law . The provisions of this Plan shall be governed by, construed and administered in accordance with applicable federal law; provided, however, that to the extent not in conflict with federal law, this Plan shall be governed by, construed and administered under the laws of the State of Delaware, other than its laws respecting choice of law.
17.13 Withholding . No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includable in the gross income of the Participant for federal income tax purposes with respect to any Award under the Plan, the Participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes or other amounts of any kind required by law to be withheld, collected or accounted for with respect to such amount. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, withholding obligations must be settled in shares of Stock that are part of the Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement, provided that the amount withheld does not exceed the maximum statutory tax rate for a Participant in the applicable jurisdiction or such lesser amount as (i) is necessary to avoid adverse accounting treatment and (ii) is permitted under applicable withholding rules promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service or another applicable governmental entity. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Participant. The Committee may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate, including making irrevocable elections, for the settlement of withholding obligations with shares of Stock. The Committee may also, in its sole discretion, permit a Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, the withholding obligations by the delivery of Stock owned by the Participant having a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding obligation. Any shares of Stock withheld in excess of the shares of Stock required to satisfy withholding liability at the minimum statutory withholding rates shall not be added back to the number of shares of Stock issuable under the Plan under Section 5.2(c).
17.14 Fractional Shares . No adjustment or substitution provided for in herein shall require the Company to issue or to sell a fractional share under any Award Agreement and the total adjustment or substitution with respect to each Award Agreement shall be limited accordingly.
17.15 No Guarantee of Tax Consequences . No person connected with the Plan in any capacity, including, but not limited to, the Company and any Affiliate and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees, makes any representation, commitment or guarantee that any tax treatment, including, but not limited to, federal, state, local and foreign income, estate and gift tax treatment, will be applicable with respect to amounts deferred under the Plan, or paid to or for the benefit of a Participant under the Plan, or that such tax treatment will apply to or be available to a Participant on account of participation in the Plan.
17.16 Notices . Any communication or notice required or permitted to be given under the Plan shall be in such form as the Committee may determine from time to time, and if required in writing, shall be mailed by registered or certified mail or delivered in hand, if to the Company, to 870 Winter Street, Waltham, Massachusetts 02451, Attention: Vice President, Human Resources and Global Security (or such other address or addressee as the Committee may provide) and, if to the Participant, to such address as the Participant shall last have furnished to the Company.
