Item 5.02   Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On April 26, 2011, the Personnel and Compensation Committee of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (“Teledyne”) adjusted the performance targets for revenue and operating profit under the 2009-2011 cycle of the Teledyne Performance Share Program (PSP) to reflect the completion of the sale of Teledyne’s piston engines businesses, which comprised Teledyne’s former Aerospace Engines and Components segment, on April 19, 2011, and the restatement of prior year financial data to classify the Aerospace Engines and Components segment as discontinued operations. The adjusted revenue target for the 2009-2011 PSP cycle is an aggregate of $5.72 billion for the three year performance period and the adjusted operating profit target for the 2009-2011 PSP cycle is an aggregate of $551.0 million for the three year performance period. Results from the former Aerospace Engines and Components segment during the performance period, as well as any gain on the sale of the piston engines businesses, will consequently be disregarded in determining whether performance targets under the PSP are met. These performance targets are used by Teledyne solely for compensation purposes and should not be understood to be management’s expectations or guidance relating to future financial performance.
