The remaining 192 shares reported herein, I received as a distribution from a family member's estate. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION I received my pro rata portion of the Issuer's shares as a distribution on my Teledyne shares which I acquired in 1960 and as a distribution of a 3-for-1 stock split. (See Item 3 above.) Although I personally have no plans or proposals reportable pursuant to Item 4(a) through (j), it should be noted that I am a member of the Issuer's Board of Directors, and in that capacity, could have occasion to consider such plans or proposals in the future. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF ISSUERS I own 4,663,056 (18.7%) of the Issuer's Common Stock as to which I have sole voting and dispositive powers.
