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

(b)     Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (the “Company” or “Teledyne”) held its 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on April 26, 2017. At the Annual Meeting, the Company's stockholders approved the Amended and Restated Teledyne Technologies Incorporated 2014 Incentive Award Plan (the “Amended Plan”), which amends and restates the Company’s 2014 Incentive Award Plan (the “Original Plan”). The Amended Plan was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) on February 21, 2017, subject to receiving stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting.

The Amended Plan makes the following material changes to the Original Plan:

• Increases the number of shares available by 2,500,000 shares;

• Provides that the aggregate number of shares available for issuance will be reduced by 2.93 shares for each share subject to an award other than a stock option or stock appreciation right (a “Full Value Award”) that is granted on or after the effective date of the Amended Plan, and that the number of shares available for issuance will be increased by 2.93 shares for each share subject to a Full Value Award granted on or after the effective date of the Amended Plan that again becomes available for grant pursuant to the terms of the Amended Plan;

• Imposes a $750,000 limit on the total aggregate value of cash and equity-based awards granted under the Amended Plan to any non-employee director during any calendar year;

• Mandates a vesting period of at least one year for all equity-based awards granted under the Amended Plan, which applies to no less than 95% of the shares authorized for grant (subject to certain limited exceptions);

• Dividends and dividend equivalents payable in connection with all awards (previously only performance-based awards) granted under the Amended Plan will only be paid out to the extent that the time- and performance-based vesting conditions are satisfied and the shares underlying such awards are earned and vest; and

• Permits the Company to withhold shares in connection with a net-share settlement of an award based on the award holder’s maximum individual statutory withholding rates for the applicable jurisdiction.

The terms and conditions of the Amended Plan are described in the section entitled “Item 2 on Proxy Card - Approval of Amended and Restated Teledyne Technologies Incorporated 2014 Incentive Award Plan” (the “Stockholder Proposal”) in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2017 (the “Proxy Statement”). The terms and conditions of the Amended Plan in the Stockholder Proposal do not purport to be a complete description of the Amended Plan, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amended Plan, which was attached as Annex A to the Proxy Statement, and is incorporated herein by reference.
