Summary Plan Description
February 17, 2015

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

Plan Concept

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

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

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

Eligibility and Participation

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


Calculation of Targeted Performance Share Award

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

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

Performance Period

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

Performance Measurement

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

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

The Russell 2000 Index, in which Teledyne Technologies is included, will be used as the benchmark for return to shareholders.

At the beginning of each Performance Period, a matrix will be established and submitted for approval by the Personnel and Compensation Committee. This matrix will be used to determine the Performance





Shares Award the Participant is entitled to, subject to a maximum Award of 200 percent of the “Target Opportunity”.

Non-Transferability

Performance Share Awards are non-transferable.

Form of Payment

Payments from the Performance Share Plan will be in the form of cash, with the payout taking the same form as the denomination of the award at the beginning of the Performance Period. Payments will be made over a three-year period and as soon as practicable following the approval of the award amounts by the Personnel and Compensation Committee.

Termination of Employment

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

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

Change of Control

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

Tax Consequences

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




Rider A:

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