Item 8.01 Other Events

Following rumors in the French media during the first quarter of 2020, Teledyne Technologies Incorporated ("Teledyne") confirms that it has been in advanced discussions to acquire Photonis International SAS and affiliates ("Photonis") for approximately $550 million.

On March 31, 2020, Teledyne was verbally notified by the Foreign Investment Office of France of a negative opinion by the France Minister of the Economy and Finance ("MoE") with respect to an application by Teledyne to obtain a foreign investment authorization. Teledyne is currently waiting for a written response from the MoE.

Photonis provides advanced photon and electron multipliers, which are the enabling technology for night vision in defense applications and low-light imaging in astronomy and laboratory science. Other related products are primarily sold to laboratory instrument original equipment manufacturers, for which Photonis detectors and ion transport products enable the science of mass spectrometry. Finally, Photonis provides specialty microwave devices and ion detectors for government and energy applications.
