Dear Stockholder:

We are pleased to invite you to attend the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 24, 2019, beginning at 9:00 a.m. (Pacific Time), at the Company’s offices at 1049 Camino Dos Rios, Thousand Oaks, California 91360. For your convenience, we are offering a live webcast of the Annual Meeting on our Internet website, www.teledyne.com.

This booklet includes the notice of meeting as well as the Company’s Proxy Statement.

We are following the Securities and Exchange Commission rule that permits us to furnish proxy materials to our stockholders via the Internet. We believe electronic delivery of our proxy materials will help us reduce the environmental impact and costs of printing and distributing paper copies and improve the speed and efficiency by which our stockholders can access these materials. As a result, we are mailing a short Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) to most of our stockholders instead of a paper copy of our full proxy materials. The Notice contains instructions on how to cast your vote online and how to electronically access our proxy materials, including the Notice of Annual Meeting, Proxy Statement, 2018 Annual Report and a proxy card. The Notice also contains instructions on how to request a paper copy of our proxy materials. All stockholders who do not receive the Notice will receive a paper copy of the proxy materials. If you receive a paper copy of our proxy materials, you may cast your vote by completing the enclosed proxy card and returning it in the enclosed self-addressed, postage-paid envelope, or by utilizing the telephone or Internet voting mechanisms noted on the proxy card.

We know that many of you are unable to attend the Annual Meeting in person. The proxies that we solicit give you the opportunity to vote on all matters that are scheduled to come before the Annual Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend, you can be sure that your shares are represented by promptly voting and submitting your proxy by phone or by Internet as described in the following materials, or if you request that proxy materials be mailed to you, by completing, signing, dating, and returning your proxy card enclosed with those materials in the postage-paid envelope provided to you.

If you are a stockholder of record and plan to attend the meeting, please indicate so if voting electronically when prompted or write “WILL ATTEND” in the comment box on your proxy card if voting by mail so that you will be included on our admittance list for the meeting.

Thank you for your investment in our Company. We look forward to seeing you at the 2019 Annual Meeting.

Sincerely,

Robert Mehrabian

Executive Chairman

Proxy Statement

    TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED  |  2019 Proxy Statement

Proxy Statement

for 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

Pursuant to the rules adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Company is furnishing proxy materials to its stockholders primarily via the Internet, rather than mailing paper copies of these materials to each stockholder. This is known as the “notice and access” method of delivery. The Company believes this process will help it reduce the environmental impact and costs of printing and distributing paper copies and improve the speed and efficiency by which the Company’s stockholders can access these materials. On or about March 14, 2019, the Company will mail to each stockholder (other than those stockholders who previously had requested paper delivery of proxy materials) a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials containing instructions on how to access and review the proxy materials, including this Proxy Statement and the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC, on the Internet and how to access a proxy card to vote on the Internet or by telephone. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials also contains instructions on how to request a paper copy of the proxy materials. If you received a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials by mail, you will not receive a paper copy of the proxy materials unless you request one. If you would like to receive a paper copy of the proxy materials, please follow the instructions included in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. The Company may at its discretion voluntarily choose to mail or deliver a paper copy of the proxy materials, including this Proxy Statement and the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC, to one or more stockholders.

We are offering a live webcast of the Annual Meeting on our Internet website, www.teledyne.com. The webcast of the Annual Meeting will consist of live sound and real-time access to printed material. To access the webcast of the Annual Meeting, a stockholder should log on to www.teledyne.com on Wednesday, April 24, 2019 shortly before 9:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) and follow the instructions provided under the “Investors” section of the website. Stockholders will not be permitted to vote via the Internet during the Annual Meeting nor will they be able to submit questions via the webcast during the questions and answers session.

Voting Procedures

Who May Vote

If you were a stockholder at the close of business on March 1, 2019, you may vote at the Annual Meeting. On that day, there were 36,222,020 shares of our common stock outstanding.

Each share is entitled to one vote. In order to vote, you must either designate a proxy to vote on your behalf or attend the meeting and vote your shares in person. Our Board of Directors requests your proxy so that your shares will count toward determination of the presence of a quorum and your shares can be voted at the meeting.

Methods of Voting

Stockholders of record can vote in person, by Internet, by telephone or by mail, as described below. If you are a beneficial stockholder, please refer to the information forwarded by your broker, bank or other holder of record to see what options are available to you. Stockholders of record may cast their vote by:

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED  |  2019 Proxy Statement    1

Voting Procedures (continued)

If you sign and return your proxy card, but do not make specific selections, your proxy will vote your shares as recommended by the Board.

Revoking Your Proxy

You may change your mind and stockholders of record may revoke a proxy at any time before it is voted at the meeting by:

If you are a beneficial stockholder, please refer to the information forwarded by your broker, bank or other holder of record to determine what options are available to you.

Voting By Employee Benefit Plan Participants

Participants who hold common stock in the Teledyne Technologies Incorporated 401(k) Plan may instruct the plan trustee on how to vote the shares of common stock allocated to their accounts. You may either (1) sign and return the voting instruction card provided by the plan or (2) transmit your instructions by telephone or Internet. If you do not transmit instructions by 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time), on April 19, 2019, your shares will not be voted by the plan trustee, except as otherwise required by law.

Voting Shares Held By Brokers, Banks and Other Nominees

Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the meeting, who will separately count “For” and “Withhold” and, with respect to any proposals other than the election of directors, “Against” votes, abstentions and broker non-votes. The inspector of election will also separately count the votes for the options included in the advisory vote on the frequency of say on pay. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that proposal and has not received instructions with respect to that proposal from the beneficial owner, despite voting on at least one other proposal for which it does have discretionary authority or for which it has received instructions. Pursuant to our Amended and Restated Bylaws, abstentions shall not count as votes “cast”; consequently, abstentions will have no effect on any proposal. With respect to each proposal, broker non-votes have no effect and will not be counted towards the vote total for any proposal, including the election of directors and say on pay. With respect to each proposal, abstentions and broker non-votes will be included in determining the presence of a quorum.

If your shares are held by your broker, bank or other agent as your nominee (that is, in “street name”), you will need to obtain voting instructions from the institution that holds your shares regarding how to instruct your broker, bank or other agent to vote your shares. If you do not give instructions to your broker, bank or other agent, they can vote your shares with respect to “discretionary” items, but not with respect to “non-discretionary” items. Discretionary items are proposals considered routine under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on which your broker, bank or other agent may vote shares held in street name in the absence of your voting instructions. The only item that is considered routine under the rules of the NYSE to be considered at this year’s Annual Meeting is the ratification of the selection of our independent auditors (Item 2). On non-discretionary items for which you do not give instructions to your broker, bank or other agent, the shares will be treated as broker non-votes.

Confidential Voting Policy

We maintain a policy of keeping stockholder votes confidential. Your vote will not be disclosed either within the Company or to third parties except as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements, to allow for the tabulation and calculation of votes, and to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation.

Board Composition and Practices

Information and Meetings

The Board of Directors directs the management of the business and affairs of the Company as provided in our Amended and Restated Bylaws and pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware. Except for Dr. Robert Mehrabian, our Executive Chairman, the Board is not involved in day-to-day operations. Members of the Board keep informed about our business through discussions with the senior management and other officers and managers of the Company and its subsidiaries, by reviewing information provided to them, and by participating in Board and committee meetings.

We encourage, but do not require, that all our directors attend all meetings of the Board of Directors, all committee meetings on which the directors serve and the annual stockholders meeting. In 2018, the Board of Directors held seven meetings. During 2018, all directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and Board committees of which they were members. All the current directors attended the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, except for Mr. Lorne, who experienced travel delays on his way to the meeting.

Number of Directors

The Board of Directors determines the number of directors, which under our Amended and Restated By-laws must consist of not less than four members and not more than 12 members. The Board has currently fixed the number at ten members.

Director Terms

The directors are divided into three classes and the directors in each class serve for a three-year term. The term of one class of directors expires each year at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Board may fill a vacancy by electing a new director to the same class as the director being replaced. The Board may also create a new director position in any class and elect a director to hold the newly created position until the term of the class expires.

Directors’ Retirement Policy

On June 1, 2000, we adopted a retirement policy for directors. This policy, as amended, generally requires directors to retire at the Annual Meeting following their 75th birthday. This policy also requires a director to offer to tender his or her resignation if such director has a change in professional status. Mr. Crocker, who is 80, Dr. Mehrabian, who is 77 and Mr. Smith, who is 75, subject to their election at this Annual Meeting, were granted a waiver through the 2022 Annual Meeting. Admiral Miller, who is 76, was granted a waiver through the 2021 Annual Meeting.

Board Structure

The Board of Directors currently consists of ten directors, nine of whom are considered independent under existing rules of the NYSE and the SEC. The Chairman of the Board, who is also our Executive Chairman and our former President and Chief Executive Officer, is not considered an independent director. The Executive Chairman presides at meetings of stockholders and Board meetings. The Board has formally designated Michael Smith, one of our independent directors, to serve as the lead director. The lead director presides in those executive sessions where the non-management or independent directors meet without the Executive Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer. In addition, the Board’s three standing committees consist solely of independent directors.

The Board believes that its current leadership structure effectively allocates authority, responsibility and oversight between management and the independent members of the Board, thus ensuring the Board’s ability to carry out its roles and responsibilities on behalf of the Company’s stockholders. Prior to April 24, 2018, Robert

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED  |  2019 Proxy Statement    3

Board Composition and Practices (continued)

Mehrabian was our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. On April 24, 2018, Aldo Pichelli, our then Chief Operating Officer, assumed the position of President and Chief Operating Officer, with Dr. Mehrabian continuing as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. On January 1, 2019, Mr. Pichelli assumed the position of President and Chief Executive Officer, with Dr. Mehrabian continuing as Executive Chairman. Mr. Pichelli does not serve as a director of the Corporation. The Board has taken the decision to separate the roles of the Executive Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer in 2019 to further succession planning and also to allow the Executive Chairman to focus his efforts on mergers and acquisitions and on ongoing margin enhancement initiatives.

The functions of the Board are carried out by the full Board, and when delegated, by the Board committees. Each director is a full and equal participant in the major strategic and policy decisions of our Company and the Chairman has no greater or lesser vote on matters considered by the Board. Our non-management directors meet in executive session without management (including the Executive Chairman and President and Chief Executive Officer) on a regularly scheduled basis, with the lead director presiding in such sessions.

Corporate Governance

Director Independence

In April 2018, our Nominating and Governance Committee assessed, and our Board determined, the independence of each director in accordance with applicable NYSE and SEC rules, as then in effect. To comply with such rules, our Nominating and Governance Committee considered various relationship categories including: whether the director is an employee, amount of stock ownership, and commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting or auditing, charitable and familial relationships, as well as a range of individual circumstances (including social friendships between certain members of the Board). See “Certain Transactions” at page 69. The Nominating and Governance Committee, followed by the Board, determined that each member of our Board of Directors did not have any material relationships with us and was thus independent, except for Dr. Mehrabian, our Executive Chairman. Our management, after reviewing director questionnaires, reported to our Board in February 2019 that information on which the Board based its independence assessment in 2018 has not materially changed. The independent directors by name are: Roxanne S. Austin, Charles Crocker, Kenneth C. Dahlberg, Simon M. Lorne, Robert A. Malone, Paul D. Miller, Jane C. Sherburne, Michael T. Smith and Wesley W. von Schack.

The Nominating and Governance Committee, followed by the Board, also determined that each member of our Personnel and Compensation Committee is a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

All of the Board’s standing committees consist only of independent directors.

Corporate Governance and Ethics Guidelines

Our Board of Directors has adopted many “best practices” in corporate governance, including separate standing committees of the Board for each of audit, nominating and governance and personnel and compensation matters, charters for each of the committees, and corporate ethics and compliance guidelines.

Our ethics and compliance guidelines for employees are contained in the Global Code of Ethical Business Conduct. These guidelines apply to all our employees, including our principal executive, financial and accounting officers. Our employees receive annual ethics training and questionnaires are distributed annually to various personnel to confirm compliance with these guidelines. We also have a specialized code of ethics for financial executives that supplements the employee guidelines. In addition, we have ethics and compliance guidelines for our service providers.

Our Board of Directors has adopted a code of business conduct and ethics for directors. This code is intended to provide guidance to directors to help them recognize and deal with ethical issues, including conflicts of interest, corporate opportunities, fair dealing, compliance with law and proper use of the Company’s assets. It also provides mechanisms to report possible unethical conduct.

Our Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines. These Corporate Governance Guidelines were initially developed by our Nominating and Governance Committee and are reviewed at least annually by such Committee. These Corporate Governance Guidelines incorporate practices and policies under which our Board has operated since its inception, in addition to many of the requirements of the SEC and the NYSE. Some of the principal subjects covered by the Corporate Governance Guidelines include:

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED  |  2019 Proxy Statement    5

Corporate Governance (continued)

Copies of our Corporate Governance Guidelines, Global Code of Ethical Business Conduct, Code of Ethics for Financial Professionals, Directors’ Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Ethics Code of Conduct for Service Providers, Corporate Governance Guidelines and Committee charters are available on our website at www.teledyne.com under “Board of Directors” — “Ethics and Values” and under “Board of Directors” — “Ethics and Values” — “Corporate Information”. We intend to post any amendments to these documents and any waivers of the provisions thereof related to directors or executive officers on our website. If at any time you would like to receive a paper copy of these documents free-of-charge, please write to Melanie S. Cibik, Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and Secretary, Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, 1049 Camino Dos Rios, Thousand Oaks, California 91360.

Risk Management Oversight

The risk oversight function of the Board of Directors is carried out by both the Board and the Audit Committee. As provided in its charter, the Audit Committee meets periodically with management to discuss the Company’s major financial and operating risk exposures and the steps, guidelines and policies taken or implemented relating to risk assessment and risk management. Matters of strategic risk are considered by the Board as a whole. At each regularly scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee, our Vice President, Business Risk Assurance reports directly to the Audit Committee on the activities of the Company’s internal audit function. Management also reports to the Audit Committee on legal, finance, accounting and compliance matters at least quarterly and on tax, pension and information technology and cyber security matters periodically. The Board is provided with reports on legal matters at periodically scheduled meetings and on other matters related to risk oversight on an as needed basis. In addition, the Audit Committee reviews with management the “risk factors” that appear in our Annual Report on Form 10-K prior to its filing.

We have an Enterprise Risk Management Committee, consisting of executive officers and other employees, to identify significant company risks and determine whether we have appropriate risk management policies, practices, and procedures in place. Our Senior Vice President, Strategic Sourcing, Tax and Treasurer, periodically reports to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors on the progress and results of the actions taken by this committee.

Board Evaluation Process

Every year the Board and each standing committee of the Board assesses its performance. The evaluation process is overseen by the Nominating and Governance Committee and involves separate interviews of each director by internal counsel to solicit feedback on several issues, including:

The results are summarized by the Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and Secretary and discussed by the Board and each committee in executive session. In addition to providing an opportunity for directors to discuss a wide range of governance-related topics, the evaluation process is used by the Board and each committee to identify opportunities for improvement, make changes to the committee charters, processes and policies, and is linked to our Board’s succession planning activities.

Corporate Governance (continued)

Risks Related to Compensation Policies and Practices

The Company and the Personnel and Compensation Committee have undertaken a process to determine whether the Company’s overall compensation program for employees creates incentives for employees to take excessive or unreasonable risks that could materially harm the Company. As part of this process, the Company received input and analysis from its independent compensation consultant, Exequity LLP, and management prepared a framework of potential risk and evaluated the Company’s compensation policies in the context of this framework. The results of this evaluation were reviewed by and discussed with the Personnel and Compensation Committee.

We believe that several features of our compensation policies for management employees appropriately mitigate such risks, including a balanced mix of long- and short-term compensation incentives, the use of incentive award plans with capped payouts, the use of a diverse mix of performance measures in our incentive award plans and our stock ownership requirements for key officers. In addition, we use our annual business plan as a baseline for our Annual Incentive Plan targets, which the Personnel and Compensation Committee regards as setting an appropriate level of risk taking for the Company. We also believe the Company’s internal legal and financial controls appropriately mitigate the probability and potential impact of an individual employee committing the Company to a harmful long-term business transaction in exchange for short-term compensation benefits. In light of these features of our compensation program and these additional controls, our management and our Personnel and Compensation Committee have concluded that the risks arising from our employee compensation policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Sarbanes-Oxley Disclosure Committee

We have a Sarbanes-Oxley Disclosure Committee. Current members include: Carl Adams, Vice President, Business Risk Assurance; Cynthia Belak, Vice President and Controller; Stephen F. Blackwood, Senior Vice President, Strategic Sourcing, Tax and Treasurer; Melanie S. Cibik, Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and Secretary; Michael C. Lee, Director, Global Income Tax Reporting; Brian A. Levan, Senior Director of Financial Reporting and Assistant Controller; Susan L. Main, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; S. Paul Sassalos, Associate General Counsel and Assistant Secretary; Duncan Forsythe, Senior Director, Taxation and Associate Treasurer; Jason VanWees, Executive Vice President, and Tyler Vernon, Senior Director SEC/US GAAP Compliance and External Reporting. Among its tasks, the Sarbanes-Oxley Disclosure Committee discusses and reviews disclosure issues to help us fulfill our disclosure obligations on a timely basis in accordance with SEC rules and regulations and is intended to be used as an additional resource for employees to raise questions regarding accounting, auditing, internal controls and disclosure matters.

We have a confidential Ethics/Help Line, where questions or concerns about us can be raised confidentially and anonymously. The Ethics/Help line is available to all our employees, as well as concerned individuals outside the Company. The toll-free help line number is 1-877-666-6968. International dialing instructions are available at www.teledyne.ethicspoint.com. Issues can also be reported via that website.

The receipt of concerns about our accounting, internal controls and auditing matters will be reported to the Audit Committee.

Communications with the Board

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that any interested parties desiring to communicate with our non-management directors, including our lead director, may contact them through our Secretary, Melanie S. Cibik, whose address is: Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, 1049 Camino Dos Rios, Thousand Oaks, California 91360. The Secretary will review each communication received and decide as to whether the communication, or a summary thereof, will be forwarded to the Nominating and Governance Committee or other appropriate Board committee or member.

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED  |  2019 Proxy Statement    7

Corporate Governance (continued)

Stockholder Engagement

We regularly engage with our stockholders to understand their perspectives on Teledyne, including our strategies, financial performance, management and executive compensation. As part of this program, senior management regularly meets with institutional investors. During fiscal year 2018, senior management met with many institutional investors, including the majority of our top 25 investors with actively managed funds, through investor conferences, in-person meetings and telephone conferences.

Item 1 on Proxy Card — Election of Directors

The Board of Directors has nominated for election this year the class of four incumbent directors whose terms expire at the 2019 Annual Meeting. The three-year term of the class of directors nominated and elected this year will expire at the 2022 Annual Meeting. So long as the number of nominees does not exceed the number of nominees to be elected (which is four nominees in the case of the 2019 Annual Meeting), each nominee will be elected if the nominee receives the vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to such director. A majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted “for” a nominee must exceed the number of votes withheld from that nominee. The Board has adopted a policy whereby all director nominees must submit a contingent resignation in writing to the Chairman of the Nominating and Governance Committee. The resignation becomes effective only if the director is not elected by a majority of votes cast and the Board accepts the resignation. The Nominating and Governance Committee or another committee appointed by the Board will recommend to the Board whether to accept or reject the resignation or whether other action should be taken. The Board will act on such committee’s recommendation and publicly disclose its decision and the rationale behind it within 90 days following the date of the certification of the election results. The director who was not elected by a majority of votes cast will not participate in the Board’s decision with respect to such resignation. If the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the nominees who receive the highest number of votes cast will be elected.

Unless otherwise instructed, the individuals named as proxies in the proxy card will vote each proxy received by them for the election of the four named nominees. You may withhold authority for the proxies to vote your shares on any or all of the nominees by following the instructions on your proxy card. If a nominee becomes unable to serve, the proxies will vote for a Board-designated substitute or the Board may reduce the number of directors. The Board has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve.

Background information about the nominees and continuing directors follows, including the specific experiences, qualifications, attributes and skills that the Board believes qualifies each of the below named individuals to serve as a director of the Company, considering the Company’s business and structure.

Committees of Our Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee, a Nominating and Governance Committee and a Personnel and Compensation Committee. From time to time, our Board of Directors may establish other committees. Each of the Audit Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee and Personnel and Compensation Committee has a written charter that can be accessed on our website at www.teledyne.com under “Corporate Information — Governance”.

Audit Committee

The members of the Audit Committee are:

      Simon M. Lorne, Chair

      Kenneth C. Dahlberg

      Robert A. Malone

      Paul D. Miller

      Jane C. Sherburne

      Michael T. Smith

The Audit Committee held six meetings in 2018.

The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board’s oversight of the integrity of our financial statements, our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the qualification and the independence of our independent auditor, and the performance of our internal audit function and independent auditor. As provided in its charter, the Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, retention, compensation, oversight, evaluation and termination of our independent auditor (including resolving disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting). The Audit Committee has been designated as the “qualified legal compliance committee.” In carrying out its responsibilities, the Audit Committee undertakes to do many things, including:

16    TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED  |  2019 Proxy Statement

Committees of Our Board of Directors (continued)

The charter of the Audit Committee was last amended and restated on December 18, 2018. (The charter is available on the Corporate Governance Web Page: http://www.teledyne.com/about-us/corporate-information). The Audit Committee charter provides that our senior internal auditing executive reports directly and separately to the Chair of the Audit Committee and the Executive Chairman. As required by the charter, our Audit Committee also has established procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal controls and auditing matters. See “Corporate Governance — Sarbanes-Oxley Disclosure Committee” at page 7.

The Audit Committee meets the size, independence and financial sophistication and expertise requirements of the NYSE, including the enhanced independence requirements for Audit Committee members under Exchange Act Rule 10A-3. The Board of Directors has determined that Simon M. Lorne is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of the SEC regulations and all of the members are “independent” and “financially literate” under the NYSE listing standards. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that no director may serve as a member of the Audit Committee if such director serves on the audit committees of more than two other public companies unless the Board determines that such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of such director to effectively serve on the Audit Committee. Any such determination must be disclosed in the annual Proxy Statement. None of our Audit Committee members serve on more than two other audit committees of public companies. Besides our Audit Committee, Mr. Smith simultaneously serves on the audit committee of two other public companies and Mr. Malone simultaneously serves on the audit committee of one other public company.

The report of the Audit Committee is included under “Item 2 on Proxy Card — Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” at page 21.

Nominating and Governance Committee

The members of the Nominating and Governance Committee are:

      Michael T. Smith, Chair

      Roxanne S. Austin

      Charles Crocker

      Simon M. Lorne

      Paul D. Miller

      Wesley W. von Schack

The Nominating and Governance Committee held three meetings in 2018.

The Nominating and Governance Committee undertakes to:

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED  |  2019 Proxy Statement    17

Committees of Our Board of Directors (continued)

The charter of the Nominating and Governance Committee was last amended and restated on December 18, 2018. The members of the Nominating and Governance Committee are “independent” under the NYSE listing standards. (The charter is available on the Corporate Governance Web Page: http://www.teledyne.com/about-us/corporate-information).

The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider stockholder recommendations for nominees for director. Any stockholders interested in suggesting a nominee should follow the procedures outlined in “Other Information — 2020 Annual Meeting and Stockholder Proposals” at page 70. Stockholder recommendations for nominees will be given the same consideration as nominees for director from other sources.

The Nominating and Governance Committee utilizes a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating all nominees for directors. The Committee periodically assesses the appropriate size of the Board and whether vacancies on the Board are expected due to retirement, change in professional status or otherwise. Candidates may come to the attention of the Committee through current Board members, members of our management, stockholders and other persons. The Committee to date has not engaged a professional search firm. Candidates are evaluated at meetings of the Committee and may be considered at any point during the year.

As stated in the Corporate Governance Guidelines, nominees for director are to be selected based on, among other criteria, experience, knowledge, skills, expertise, integrity, diversity, ability to make analytical inquiries, understanding of or familiarity with our business, products or markets or similar business, products or markets, and willingness to devote adequate time and effort to Board responsibilities. The Committee may establish additional criteria and is responsible for assessing the appropriate balance of criteria required of Board members. Although we do not have a written policy with respect to Board diversity, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board believe that a diverse board leads to improved Company performance by encouraging new ideas, expanding the knowledge base available to management and fostering a boardroom culture that promotes innovation and vigorous deliberation. Consequently, when evaluating potential nominees, the Committee considers individual characteristics that may bring diversity to the Board, including gender, race, national origin, age, professional background, unique skill sets and areas of expertise. As part of its charter mandate, the Nominating and Governance Committee monitors our efforts in areas of diversity and keeps abreast of current and emerging trends with respect to diversity issues that may affect our business operations, performance or public image.

Item 2 on Proxy Card — Ratification of Appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2019. Deloitte & Touche LLP has served as our independent registered public accounting firm effective May 1, 2015. The Audit Committee believes that Deloitte & Touche LLP is knowledgeable about our operations and accounting practices and is well qualified to act in the capacity of independent registered public accounting firm. The appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2019 is subject to the continued approval of the Audit Committee.

Although the appointment of an independent registered public accounting firm is not required to be approved by the stockholders, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors believe that stockholders should participate in such selection through ratification. The proposal to ratify the Audit Committee’s appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP will be approved by the stockholders if it receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares cast on the proposal by holders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting. Unless otherwise instructed, the individuals named as proxies in the proxy card will vote each proxy received by them in favor of ratifying the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2019. If you specifically abstain from voting on the proposal, your shares will not affect the outcome of the vote. Broker non-votes, if any, are included in determining the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting but will not be counted as being entitled to vote on the proposal and will not affect the outcome of the vote. If the stockholders do not ratify the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Audit Committee will reconsider the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as an independent registered public accounting firm. Notwithstanding the ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent auditors, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of new independent auditors at any time during the year if the Audit Committee believes that such a change would be in the best interests of Teledyne and its stockholders. It is expected that representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP will be present at the meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement and respond to appropriate questions.

Item 2 on Proxy Card — Ratification of Appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (continued)

Guidelines Regarding External Auditing Firms

Our Audit Committee has adopted guidelines relating to the rendering of services by external auditors. The principal terms are as follows:

Pre-Approval of Audit Services.    The guidelines require the approval of the Audit Committee prior to retaining any firm to perform any Audit Services. “Audit Services” include the services necessary to audit our consolidated financial statements for a specified fiscal year and the following audit and audit-related services: (a) Statement on Auditing Standards No. 71 quarterly review services; (b) regulatory and employee benefit plan financial statement audits; and (c) compliance and statutory attestation services for our subsidiaries. Subject to limited exceptions, the policies further provide that the Audit Committee must pre-approve the engagement of our independent registered public accounting firm to provide any services other than Audit Services. The Chair of the Audit Committee may, however, pre-approve the engagement of our independent registered public accounting firm for such non-audit services to the extent the fee is reasonably expected to be less than $150,000. Pre-approval will not be required for de minimis services if (i) the costs of such services in the aggregate are less than $150,000 or 5% of the total fees of our independent registered public accounting firm, whichever is lesser during such fiscal year, (ii) such services were not recognized by us at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly and subsequently approved by the Audit Committee or the Chair of the Audit Committee (if reasonably expected to be less than $150,000 or 5% of the total fees of our independent registered public accounting firm, whichever is lesser) prior to completion of the audit.

Executive Relationship Limitation.    The guidelines provide that no firm shall perform for us any Audit Service if the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Controller, or Chief Accounting Officer, or any person serving in an equivalent position for the Company, was employed by that firm and participated in any capacity in the Company’s audit during the one-year period preceding the date of the initiation of the audit.

Non-Audit Services Limitations.    If the fee for any non-audit services is reasonably expected to be $350,000 or more, we must seek at least one competing bid from another firm prior to engaging our independent registered public accounting firm, unless there are exceptional circumstances or if it relates to the public offering of our securities. Management will determine whether awarding the assignment to our independent registered public accounting firm would be advantageous to us because our independent registered public accounting firm could utilize its deeper knowledge of the Company to do a more efficient and effective job than another provider of services or could perform the services for a lower fee. While price will be a factor in evaluating competing proposals, professional competence, client service and experience in handling similar matters are also key factors. Prior to retaining our independent registered public accounting firm to perform services other than Audit Services, management will consider whether such retention could impair our independent registered public accounting firm’s independence.

The guidelines prohibit us from engaging our independent registered public accounting firm to perform any of the following non-audit services or other services that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines by regulation to be prohibited: bookkeeping or other services related to accounting records or financial statements; financial information systems design and implementation; appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports; actuarial services; internal auditing outsourcing services; management functions or human resources; broker or dealer, investment advisor, or investment banking services; individual tax services to executives roles that involve financial reporting responsibility; or legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit.

Hiring Limitation.    To avoid appearances of conflicts of interest, we will not hire before a one-year cooling-off period into either a finance function or an audit function personnel of our independent registered public accounting firm who are at the level of partner, principal or manager if such person worked on the audit of our consolidated financial statements during the fiscal year just ended or if such person is working on the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the current fiscal year.

22    TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED  |  2019 Proxy Statement

Item 2 on Proxy Card — Ratification of Appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (continued)

Audit Partner Rotation.    The guidelines provide that neither the lead or coordinating partner of our independent registered public accounting firm having primary responsibility for our audit, nor the partner responsible for reviewing our audit, shall perform Audit Services for the Company for more than five consecutive fiscal years. An audit director can perform Audit Services for up to seven consecutive fiscal years.

On a quarterly basis in executive session, our independent registered public accounting firm reviews with the Audit Committee all audit, non-audit and tax services it provides to us. For 2018, all audit and non-audit services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm were pre-approved in accordance with our policies.

In making its recommendation to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2019 fiscal year, the Audit Committee considered whether the provision of non-audit services by Deloitte & Touche LLP is compatible with maintaining Deloitte & Touche LLP’s independence.

Audit Committee Report

The following report of the Audit Committee is included in accordance with SEC rules and regulations. It does not constitute “soliciting material,” is not deemed “filed” with the SEC and is not incorporated by reference into any of our filings under the Exchange Act.

Report of the Audit Committee

The following is the report of the Audit Committee with respect to the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2018 (the “Financial Statements”) of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”).

The responsibilities of the Audit Committee are set forth in the Audit Committee Charter, as amended and restated as of December 18, 2018, which has been adopted by the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee is comprised of six directors. The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that each of the members of the Audit Committee is independent in accordance with the applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange. The Board of Directors has also determined that at least one director has “financial management expertise” under New York Stock Exchange listing standards and that Simon M. Lorne is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations.

Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Company’s financial statements, the Company’s internal controls and financial reporting process and the procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte & Touche”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s Financial Statements and expressing an opinion as to their conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the Company’s Financial Statements with management and Deloitte & Touche and discussed with Deloitte & Touche the matters required to be discussed by AS No. 1301, “Communications with Audit Committees,” as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The Audit Committee has received written disclosures and the letter from Deloitte & Touche required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding Deloitte & Touche’s communication with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with Deloitte & Touche its independence.

The members of the Audit Committee are not professionally engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting and are not, and do not represent themselves to be, performing the functions of auditors or accountants. Members of the Audit Committee may rely without independent verification on the information provided to them and on the representations made by management and Deloitte & Touche. Accordingly, the Audit Committee’s oversight does not provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles, or appropriate internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee’s considerations and discussions referred to above do not assure that the audit of the Company’s financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, that the financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or that the Company’s auditors are in fact “independent”.

Based on these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Financial Statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2018, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Submitted by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors:

Item 3 on Proxy Card — Advisory Resolution on Executive Compensation

In accordance with Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which was added under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, we are asking stockholders to approve on an advisory basis a resolution on the Company’s executive compensation as reported in this Proxy Statement. As described below in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this Proxy Statement, our executive compensation program is designed to attract and retain high quality executives and to align the interest of management with the interests of stockholders by rewarding both short- and long-term performance.

2018 was another record year for Teledyne. Highlights included:

We urge stockholders to read the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” below, which describes in more detail how our executive compensation policies and procedures operate and are designed to achieve our compensation objectives, as well as the Summary Compensation Table and related compensation tables and narratives which provide detailed information on the compensation of our named executives. The Personnel and Compensation Committee believes that the policies and procedures articulated in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” are effective in achieving our goals and that the compensation of our named executives reported in this Proxy Statement has supported and contributed to the Company’s success.

We are asking stockholders to approve the following advisory resolution at the 2019 Annual Meeting:

RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executives during 2018, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Summary Compensation Table and the related compensation tables and narrative in the Proxy Statement for the Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, is hereby APPROVED, on an advisory basis.

This advisory resolution, commonly referred to as a “say on pay” resolution, is not binding on the Board of Directors or the Company. Although non-binding, the Board and the Personnel and Compensation Committee will carefully review and consider the voting results when evaluating our executive compensation program.

The proposal to adopt the advisory resolution set forth above will be approved by the stockholders if it receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares cast by those holders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting. If you sign and return your proxy card, your shares will be voted (unless you indicate to the contrary) to approve the advisory resolution. If you specifically abstain from voting on the proposal, your shares will not affect the outcome of the vote.

Following the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our Board of Directors voted to hold a vote on this advisory “say on pay” resolution on an annual basis. Therefore, we currently expect our next say on pay proposal (after the vote on this Item 3) will be held at our next annual meeting in 2020, although the Board of Directors may decide to modify this practice.

The Board of Directors Recommends

a Vote FOR Approval of the Advisory Resolution

on Executive Compensation.

If other matters are properly presented at the meeting, including a proposal to adjourn or postpone the meeting, the persons designated as proxies in your proxy card may vote at their discretion.

Following adjournment of the formal business meeting, Dr. Robert Mehrabian, Executive Chairman, and Aldo Pichelli, President and Chief Executive Officer, will address the meeting and will hold a general discussion period during which the stockholders will have an opportunity to ask questions about our Company and businesses.

Stock Ownership Information

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

The rules of the SEC require that we disclose late filings of reports of stock ownership (and changes in stock ownership) by our directors and statutory insiders. To the best of our knowledge, all the filings for our directors and statutory insiders were made on a timely basis in 2018.

Five Percent Owners of Common Stock

The following table sets forth the number of shares of our common stock owned beneficially by each person known to us to own beneficially more than five percent of our outstanding common stock. As of February 15, 2019, we had received notice that the individuals and entities listed in the following table are beneficial owners of five percent or more of our common stock. In general, “beneficial ownership” includes those shares that a person or entity has the power to vote or transfer, and options to acquire common stock that are exercisable currently or within 60 days. As of, February 15, 2019, we had 36,191,967 shares outstanding.

Phantom Shares.    Prior to January 1, 2015, non-employee directors could elect to defer payment of up to 75% of their annual retainer fees and committee chair fees and 100% of their meeting fees under the Teledyne Technologies Incorporated Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (Deferred Compensation Plan). Non-employee directors could elect to have their deferred monies treated as though they are invested in our common stock (Teledyne Common Stock Phantom Fund). Deferrals to the Teledyne Common Stock Phantom Fund mirrored actual purchases of stock, but no actual stock is issued, and the award is settled in cash. There are no voting or other stockholder rights associated with the Teledyne Common Stock Phantom Fund. As of February 15, 2019, the following directors had the following number of phantom shares of common stock under the Deferred Compensation Plan: Charles Crocker — 451 phantom shares; Simon M. Lorne — 1,049 phantom shares; Paul D. Miller — 3,607 phantom shares; and Michael T. Smith — 781 phantom shares.

Executive and Director Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Executive Summary and 2018 Overview

Our Compensation Objectives and Programs:

Our objective with respect to executive compensation is to attract and retain executives of the highest quality and to align the interests of management with the interests of stockholders by rewarding both short- and long-term performance. The key components of our executive compensation program are reviewed annually for appropriateness and include a balanced mix of short- and long-term compensation and cash and equity compensation.

Our executive compensation program is performance-oriented and based on a mix of multiple metrics, financial targets and performance periods. Short-term cash compensation consists of competitive base salaries and short-term bonuses under the Annual Incentive Plan (AIP). The AIP is our annual performance-based cash bonus program that is designed to principally reward year-over-year profitable growth. Long-term compensation consists of stock options, performance-based restricted stock awards and a performance share program (PSP). Stock options vest over a three-year period and are intended to align executive compensation with absolute stock price appreciation. Performance-based restricted stock awards are intended to align executive compensation with total shareholder return relative to the Russell 1000 Index over a three-year performance period. The PSP is designed to reward executives for achieving profitable long-term growth and total shareholder return relative to the Russell 1000 Index over a three-year performance period. In addition, the PSP serves to reinforce long-term executive retention since payments under the PSP are subject to further service-based vesting requirements and made in three annual installments following the completion of the three-year performance cycle.

Compensation for senior executives at Teledyne is determined by the Personnel and Compensation Committee. The Personnel and Compensation Committee sets target amounts for overall compensation and specific compensation components and determines the mix of short- and long-term compensation in part by benchmarking Teledyne’s pay against compensation at peer group companies. The Personnel and Compensation Committee also receives advice and assistance in setting compensation from an independent compensation consultant.

At the Company’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on April 25, 2018, the non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation passed with an approval rate of over 98% of the votes cast. The Personnel and Compensation Committee believes this level of stockholder support reflects a strong endorsement of our executive compensation policies and philosophy and as a result did not change its approach to executive compensation in 2018. The Personnel and Compensation Committee will continue to consider the outcome of the Company’s “say on pay” votes when making future compensation decisions for the named executives.

Highlights of 2018 Performance:

2018 was another record year for Teledyne. Highlights included:

Teledyne’s stock price increased 11.9% in fiscal 2018, compared to a total shareholder return of -11.7% for the Russell 2000 Index and -5.6% for the Russell 1000 Index. The graph below shows Teledyne’s cumulative total stockholder return (i.e. price change plus reinvestment of dividends) on our common stock for the five fiscal years ending December 30, 2018, as compared to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Index, the Russell 2000 Index, the Standard & Poor’s 1500 Industrials and the Russell 1000 Index. In June 2017

30    TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED  |  2019 Proxy Statement

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

Teledyne graduated from the Russell 2000 Index to the Russell 1000 Index. Beginning with our 2018 awards, the Russell 1000 Index replaced the Russell 2000 Index as a performance measure in our long-term compensation programs. The graph assumes $100 was invested on December 27, 2013. In accordance with the rules of the SEC, this presentation is not incorporated by reference into any of our registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933.

Summary of 2018 Executive Compensation:

Teledyne’s named executives for 2018 are:

On April 24, 2018, Mr. Pichelli became President, with Dr. Mehrabian continuing as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. On January 1, 2019, Mr. Pichelli became President and Chief Executive Officer, with Dr. Mehrabian continuing as Executive Chairman.

Base Salaries:

Base salaries are generally reviewed and set by the Personnel and Compensation Committee in October of each year. At its meeting in October 2017 to review salaries to take effect in 2018, the Personnel and Compensation Committee, based on the recommendation of Dr. Mehrabian and other factors, approved an average increase of 2% to the base salaries for the named executives, other than Mr. Roks. Mr. Roks’ base salary increased by 4.7% in 2018 in recognition of his increased responsibilities as President of Teledyne Digital Imaging — Teledyne DALSA and Teledyne e2v.

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED  |  2019 Proxy Statement    31

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

Annual Incentives:

On average, actual payouts of the 2018 AIP awards for the named executives were 3.46% lower than 2017 payout amounts, and the corporate performance component of the plan was earned at 139.4% of the 2018 target. Dr. Mehrabian’s payout of his 2018 AIP award was 6% lower than the payout for his 2017 AIP Award. These lower payouts, despite the record results for 2018, reflected the challenges in outperforming the higher AIP targets set by the Personnel and Compensation Committee for 2018.

Long-Term Incentives:

Awards Issued

In January 2018, the Personnel and Compensation Committee approved the grant of performance-based restricted stock at levels consistent with prior award levels. In January 2018, the Personnel and Compensation Committee also established a new cycle of our long-term incentive program, the PSP, which has a three-year performance cycle that runs from 2018 through 2020.

The Personnel and Compensation Committee also approved the grant of stock options in January 2018. Beginning with our 2018 grants, the Personnel and Compensation Committee modified its methodology for granting stock options. In lieu of issuing fixed option grants, the Personnel and Compensation Committee fixes a value target for each recipient, and then grants an option to purchase shares derived from the economic value of the option on the date of grant. The Personnel and Compensation Committee believes this new methodology allows the Company to more closely track option grants with desired market positioning and manage value and expenses.

Awards Earned

During the three-year period ended December 31, 2018, Teledyne’s stock price growth was 175.8% of the growth in the Russell 2000 Index for the same period. As a result, on the third anniversary of the date of grant, January 26, 2019, participants in Teledyne’s performance-based restricted stock program vested in 100% of their 2016 restricted stock awards, as the stock price growth target over the three-year performance period ended December 31, 2018 was satisfied.

Commitment to Best Practices:

The Personnel and Compensation Committee periodically reviews its compensation policies and practices considering best practices and makes appropriate adjustments when necessary.

Teledyne seeks to develop pay programs that are reflective of good corporate governance. Among other things:

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

Personnel and Compensation Committee

The Personnel and Compensation Committee reviews and administers the compensation for the Chief Executive Officer (and beginning in 2019, the Executive Chairman) and other members of senior management, including the named executives. In the case of the Chief Executive Officer (and beginning in 2019, the Executive Chairman), the compensation determination made by the Personnel and Compensation Committee is reviewed by the entire Board. The Personnel and Compensation Committee is composed exclusively of non-employee, independent directors that meet the approval requirements of 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Personnel and Compensation Committee retained the compensation consultant Exequity LLP to assist the Personnel and Compensation Committee in fulfilling its responsibilities in 2018. The services that Exequity LLP performed for Teledyne were related to executive and director compensation and were primarily in support of decision-making by the Personnel and Compensation Committee and, in the case of director compensation, the Nominating and Governance Committee. No other services were provided by Exequity LLP for the Company. In January 2018 and again in January 2019, the Personnel and Compensation Committee conducted a conflict of interest assessment of Exequity LLP, and no conflicts of interest were identified resulting from retaining Exequity LLP. In reaching these conclusions the Personnel and Compensation Committee considered factors set forth in applicable rules promulgated by the SEC.

The Personnel and Compensation Committee has a written charter that delineates its responsibilities, a full copy of which is posted on our website at www.teledyne.com under “Corporate Information — Governance”. Among other duties, the charter states that the Personnel and Compensation Committee shall review and approve the corporate goals and objectives relevant to the Chief Executive Officer (and beginning in 2019, the Executive Chairman) and other executive officer compensation, evaluate the Chief Executive Officer’s (and beginning in 2019, the Executive Chairman’s) and other executive officers’ performance in light of those goals and objectives, and determine and approve all compensation of the Chief Executive Officer (and beginning in 2019, the Executive Chairman) and other executive officers based on this evaluation. In determining the long-term incentive component of the Chief Executive Officer’s (and beginning in 2019, the Executive Chairman’s) compensation, the Personnel and Compensation Committee considers corporate performance and shareholder return relative to the Russell 2000 Index (and beginning in 2018, the Russell 1000 Index), the value of similar incentive awards to Chief Executive Officers at comparable companies and the awards granted to the Chief Executive Officer (and beginning in 2019, the Executive Chairman) in past years. The charter also states that the Personnel and Compensation Committee will review and approve any employment agreements and severance arrangements, any change-in-control agreements and change-in-control provisions affecting any elements of compensation and benefits, and any special or supplemental compensation and benefits for the Chief Executive Officer (and beginning in 2019, the Executive Chairman) and executive officers, including supplemental retirement benefits and the perquisites provided to them during and after employment.

Our Chief Executive Officer (and beginning in 2019, the Executive Chairman) works with the Personnel and Compensation Committee Chair, our Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and Secretary and the Vice President of Human Resources in establishing the agenda for the Personnel and Compensation Committee and makes compensation recommendations for the named executives (other than himself).

Peer Group Comparisons

Our peer group that we use for comparative purposes is intended to be representative of companies of similar size to us in the industries in which we compete, specifically instrumentation, digital imaging, aerospace and defense electronics and systems engineering. Such peer group is not used for the purposes of the performance graph included in the “Executive Summary and 2018 Overview” section above and in our Annual

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED  |  2019 Proxy Statement    33

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

Report. To provide benchmark data for those jobs not matched to positions in the peer group, data from other published survey sources was used as additional reference, including the Aon Hewitt Total Compensation Survey.

Our peer group is currently comprised of the following companies:

The Personnel and Compensation Committee reviews the peer group on an annual basis, with assistance from its independent compensation consultant. No changes to the peer group were made in 2017 or in 2018, other than the removal of Orbital ATK, Inc. from our peer group in 2018 due to its acquisition by a third party. On October 9, 2018, Esterline Technologies Corporation agreed to be acquired by a third party, and if that acquisition is completed Esterline is not expected to remain part of our peer group.

At the time our peer group was reviewed by the Personnel and Compensation Committee, our peer group contained companies having median annual revenues and market capitalizations of $2.4 billion and $5.6 billion, respectively. In 2018, Teledyne’s annual revenues were approximately $2.9 billion and its market capitalization as of end of 2018 was approximately $7.4 billion. In assessing executive compensation, the Personnel and Compensation Committee also reviews data collected from a broader industry group consisting of 122 companies to understand what an executive with comparable responsibility to a Teledyne executive would earn in the broader industry. The companies in the general industry group have annual revenues of between $1.0 billion and $5.0 billion and the general industry group excludes financial organizations.

Determining the Amount and Mix of Compensation

Our compensation program is designed to balance our need to provide our executives with incentives to achieve our short-term and long-term performance goals with the need to pay competitive base salaries. In October of each year the Personnel and Compensation Committee, with assistance from Exequity LLP, reviews and compares each named executive’s pay to various market data points for that named executive’s position. The Personnel and Compensation Committee is guided by market benchmark information in setting compensation levels and determining the mix of cash and non-cash compensation. It typically aims to set fixed pay at the 50th percentile. Performance-based and long-term compensation is typically set at an amount between the 50th percentile and the 75th percentile in recognition that we compete with much larger companies for executive-level talent and to further incentivize executives to achieve long-term performance goals. The Personnel and Compensation Committee will consider the amount of prior salary increases, stock option grants and performance-based restricted stock grants as a factor in determining compensation for the current period.

The table below shows the competitive position of compensation in 2018 for each of our named executives. It reflects base salary, targeted components of pay and total compensation in terms of percentage deviation from the peer group and general industry median for each of our named executives as presented to the Personnel and Compensation Committee in October 2018. For purposes of this review, the Personnel and Compensation Committee considers an executive’s total targeted annual compensation to be the sum of current year base salary, target bonus levels, the aggregate fair value of stock options granted during the fiscal year, the grant date fair value of performance-based restricted stock granted during the fiscal year and the target value of triennial PSP awards, annualized over three years. The analysis seeks to identify market levels of typical annual

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

The following table shows the allocation of 2018 compensation between base salary, estimated target bonus and estimated long-term compensation for Dr. Mehrabian, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in 2018, and all other named executives as a group. It emphasizes our focus on variable, rather than fixed pay.

Base Salary

Base salary for all management positions generally will be targeted at the industry/market median for comparable positions unless there are sound reasons, such as competitive factors for a particular executive’s skill set, for varying significantly from industry medians. The Personnel and Compensation Committee’s judgment will always be the guiding factor in base salary determinations, as well as any other compensation issue. The principal factors considered in decisions to adjust base salary are changes in compensation in our general industry and at our peer companies, our recent and projected financial performance, individual performance measured against pre-established goals and objectives, criticality of the executive’s role, level of experience and market demand.

Base salaries are reviewed by the Personnel and Compensation Committee in October of each year and general merit increases, if any, take effect in the first pay cycle of the following year. Base salaries are also reviewed at the time of a promotion or other changes in responsibilities. For 2018, base salaries for named executives, other than Mr. Roks, increased by an average of 2% over 2017 base salaries. Mr. Roks’ base salary increased by 4.7% in recognition of his increased responsibilities as Group President — Teledyne Digital Imaging — Teledyne DALSA and Teledyne e2v

Short-Term Incentives

AIP awards are cash bonuses based on the achievement of pre-defined performance measures, with up to 200% of the target award paid in the case of significant over-achievement and no bonus paid if operating performance is below 75% of target. The majority of the awards are based on our achievement of financial performance goals, with a smaller portion tied to the achievement of pre-established individual goals.

The AIP award is expressed as a percentage of the participant’s base salary as of the end of the plan year. The following schedule shows the award guidelines for the 2018 awards for named executives as a percentage of 2018 base salary:

The target and maximum percentages were the same as in 2017.

The AIP award is tied to the achievement of predetermined levels of income before taxes, revenue, managed working capital as a percentage of sales (MWC) and the achievement of specific individual performance goals. We chose income before taxes, revenue and MWC as the components of the award because we believe these measures are key objective indicators of our year-over-year financial performance. The use of revenue and

36    TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED  |  2019 Proxy Statement

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

income before taxes is designed to encourage profitable growth, while the use of MWC is designed to promote operational efficiency. (A lower MWC percentage represents greater operational efficiency than a higher one.) For segment executives, earnings before interest and taxes is used in place of income before taxes. Mr. Roks is our only named executive who is a segment executive.

The AIP components are weighted as follows for corporate executives:

AIP awards for corporate executives are based on overall corporate results. For segment executives, such as Mr. Roks, the award is based on a combination of corporate and segment results (which in the case of Mr. Roks’ award is based on combined results for the Teledyne DALSA and Teledyne e2v groups). Each of the performance measures allows for participants to earn between zero and 200% of the target at threshold and maximum performance levels, with the overall weighting emphasizing profitable growth that exceeds our business plan. Income before taxes serves as an absolute threshold for the entire AIP: if income before taxes is below 75% of target, no AIP award will be earned. Both the income before taxes and revenue components are further weighted so that performance above the target is rewarded proportionally better than performance below the target, as more fully described below:

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED  |  2019 Proxy Statement    37

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

The sum of the components, after being weighted for performance, is then multiplied by the executive’s target AIP award as a percent of base annual salary to arrive at the executive’s performance adjusted AIP percentage. The Personnel and Compensation Committee may make downward (but not upward) discretionary adjustments to this amount for awards granted to individuals who were named executives as of the grant date of such award.

The tables below show income before taxes, revenue and MWC for 2018 as compared to target amounts.

Income before taxes (in millions):

Revenue (in millions):

MWC:

For purposes of determining actual income before taxes and revenue for the AIP, we adjust the amounts for inter- company sales and certain one-time events and tax items. Income before taxes excludes interest. Target amounts are derived from our business plan, which is presented to and approved by our Board in January of each year.

The following is an illustration of the AIP award calculation using the example of a hypothetical corporate executive with a salary of $300,000 and a target AIP award of 60%, using actual corporate performance results for 2018:

38    TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED  |  2019 Proxy Statement

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

Assuming no discretionary adjustment by the Personnel and Compensation Committee, the hypothetical executive’s performance adjusted AIP award would be 83.6% of salary (60% * 139.4%), or $251,000.

For 2018, aggregate individual performance objectives typically consist of between five and eight goals for each named executive that are weighted in terms of importance. Some of the goals are corporate-level goals shared by all named executives and some goals are specific to individual executives. The goals are qualitative and quantitative in nature. Corporate-level goals included continued implementation of our three-year strategic plan and the achievement of specific revenue and earnings per share targets set forth in our business plan. Individual-specific goals for 2018 included continuing the implementation of an enterprise wide operational effectiveness program to improve operating margins, achieving specified targets for cost reductions, warranty and rework costs and working capital, continued debt reduction, reviewing compliance functions to ensure adequate staffing, training, policies and processes are in place to comply with laws, ensuring effective internal control procedures, managing outside legal expenses, improving data security, successfully implementing and consolidating financial planning systems and succession planning. In 2018, achievement of no specific individual performance goal for named executives accounted for more than 10% of a named executive’s actual bonus.

The Personnel and Compensation Committee determined that Dr. Mehrabian achieved 150% of his individual performance objectives, based on his superior performance relating to the integration of Teledyne e2v, the operational excellence of the Company as a whole, his efforts to maintain the Company’s reduced cost structure and his continued implementation of succession planning, among other factors. Based on recommendations by the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, the Committee determined that: Ms. Main achieved 150% of her individual performance objectives, due to her implementation of a new and effective financial system and her efforts to reduce and streamline reporting entities, among other factors; Mr. Pichelli achieved 200% of his individual performance objectives, due to his assumption of direct management of the Teledyne Defense Electronics group, his successful efforts to implement cost reductions in the Teledyne Marine group, his effective management of all operations and integration of Teledyne e2v and his assumption of duties as President of the Corporation in April 2018, among other factors; Miss Cibik achieved 150% of her individual performance objectives, due to her effective management of the compliance and legal functions of Teledyne, her successful effort to reorganize and implement improved processes in the human resources function and her management of outside legal costs, among other factors; and Mr. Roks achieved 178.5% of his individual performance objectives, due to his successful leadership of Teledyne Digital Imaging. In addition, Mr. Roks received a 15% discretionary upward adjustment to his AIP award for successfully integrating the acquisition of Teledyne e2v and developing and implementing a successful growth strategy for Teledyne Digital Imaging.

It is the policy of the Personnel and Compensation Committee not to make discretionary upward adjustments in determining AIP awards for named executives and no such adjustments were made in determining actual 2018 AIP awards. Note that Mr. Roks was not a named executive as of the grant date of this AIP award and therefore was eligible for an upward adjustment to his AIP award.

For 2018, aggregate awards for all employees (including the named executives) were paid from a pool equal to 5.1% of income before taxes before payment of AIP awards, which is less than the 11% limit initially established by the Personnel and Compensation Committee when it approved the 2018 AIP goals. The 11% limit is a cap for the aggregate bonus amounts. It is not a pre-determined amount from which bonuses are to be distributed; instead it serves as a control to ensure that the actual aggregate AIP award is not unreasonable.

Long-Term Incentives

Long-term incentives consist of three components: stock options, a three-year PSP and a performance-based restricted stock award program. We believe that the incentives provided by our stock options, PSP award and performance-based restricted stock award programs are consistent with our compensation goals of employee retention, rewarding executives for long-term performance and rewarding executives for long-term increases in

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED  |  2019 Proxy Statement    39

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

our stock price, both in absolute terms and as compared to the broader market. We believe the three-year vesting or performance period of our long-term incentives is consistent with market practice and our overall compensation objectives.

Stock Options.    Stock options generally are awarded annually to a broad group of key employees who are nominated by management to receive awards and whose awards the Personnel and Compensation Committee approves. In practice, the amount of the award generally depends on the employee’s position. Stock options provide our employees with the opportunity to participate in shareholder value created as a result of stock price appreciation, which furthers our objective of aligning the interests of management with the interests of our stockholders.

All stock options granted are non-qualified stock options, vest at a rate of one-third per year, with full vesting at the end of three years and have a term of ten years. A description of the terms under our incentive plans related to the treatment of stock options upon termination of employment can be found under the heading “Potential Payments Upon Termination or a Change in Control” on page 63 of this Proxy Statement.

In 2018, the Personnel and Compensation Committee awarded stock options covering an aggregate of 376,065 shares of common stock to Teledyne employees, of which options to purchase 75,689 shares of common stock were awarded to named executives. For purposes of the Summary Compensation Table, stock options are valued at grant date fair value calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and the grant date fair value associated with an executive’s stock options as of the end of our 2018 fiscal year is reported in the Option Awards column.

Beginning in 2018, the Personnel and Compensation Committee modified its methodology for granting stock options. In lieu of issuing fixed option grants, the Personnel and Compensation Committee fixes a value target for each recipient, and then grants an option to purchase shares derived from the economic value of the option on the date of grant. The Personnel and Compensation Committee believes this new methodology allows the Company to more closely track option grants with desired market positioning and manage value and expenses.

The table below represents the number of shares subject to stock options granted to named executives in 2018 as well as the fair value target used to determine the number of awards for each named executive in 2018. For reference, 2017 option grants are also provided.

The Personnel and Compensation Committee determines the size of awards for named executive officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer and beginning in 2019 the Executive Chairman) taking into account recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer (and beginning in 2019, the Executive Chairman). For 2018, the size of the award for the Chief Executive Officer was determined at the sole discretion of the Personnel and Compensation Committee. For 2019, the Personnel and Compensation Committee will use the employment agreements for the Executive Chairman and the President and Chief Executive Officer (described below) as a guideline in determining the size of their respective stock option awards. In determining the fair value target for the options awarded to the named executives in 2018, the Personnel and Compensation Committee used historical grants as a guideline and considered the market data provided by its independent consultant.

40    TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED  |  2019 Proxy Statement

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

Performance Share Program.    PSP awards are intended to reward executives to the extent we achieve specific pre-established financial performance goals and provide a greater long-term return to shareholders relative to a broader market index. The PSP provides grants of performance share units, which key officers and executives may earn if we meet specified performance objectives over a three-year period. Forty percent of the award is based on the achievement of specified levels of income before taxes, 30% on the achievement of specified levels of revenue and 30% on the achievement of specified levels of return to shareholders relative to an index. For the 2018-2020 cycle, the Russell 1000 Index is the benchmark for the specified return to shareholders component; for the 2015-2017 cycle, the Russell 2000 Index was the benchmark for the specified return to shareholders component. No awards are earned if the three-year aggregate income before taxes is less than 75% of target, unless the Personnel and Compensation Committee determines otherwise. The percentages referred to above are then adjusted to reflect the extent to which actual performance is greater or less than the target. Performance above the target is rewarded proportionally better than performance below the target, as more fully described below:

The sum of the components, after being weighted for performance, is then multiplied by the executive’s target PSP opportunity percentage to arrive at the executive’s performance adjusted PSP award, which is expressed as a percentage of base salary. The maximum award is 200% of the executive’s target PSP opportunity percentage. Income before taxes and revenue includes contributions from acquisitions during the performance cycle and may be adjusted to reflect the impact of significant changes in accounting principles, discontinued operations, unusual or extraordinary corporate transactions, events or developments, and unusual tax benefits.

Performance-vested units are then generally subject to an additional service-based vesting condition whereby such units become fully vested in three substantially equal annual installments after the end of the performance cycle, subject to the holder’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date. A description of the treatment of PSP awards upon termination of employment can be found under the heading “Potential Payments Upon Termination or a Change in Control” beginning on page 63 of this Proxy Statement. Awards are generally paid 50% in cash and 50% in stock, subject to availability of shares.

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED  |  2019 Proxy Statement    41

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

In January 2018, the Personnel and Compensation Committee established a performance cycle for the three-year period ending on the last day of the 2020 fiscal year. The 2018-2020 performance cycle has the following target performance goals:

These aforementioned performance targets are used solely for compensation purposes and should not be understood to be management’s expectations or guidance relating to future financial performance.

As of the end of the 2018 fiscal year, there were 35 participants in the 2018-2020 PSP performance cycle. All the named executives participate in the 2018-2020 PSP.

The PSP award is expressed as a percentage of the participant’s base salary as of the date that the award is granted. The percentage may be increased on a prorated basis during the award cycle in the case of promotions. The following schedule shows the awards under the 2018-2020 PSP cycle for named executives expressed as a percentage of 2018 base salary (the year in which the PSP cycle was established):

Per SEC disclosure rules that require performance-based awards payable in stock to be recognized in the year in which the award is granted, the entire amount of the stock-based portion of the 2018-2020 PSP award is included in the Summary Compensation Table as 2018 compensation under the column headed “Stock Awards,” even though no shares would be issued under this award until after 2020. This is explained in more detail in footnotes 1 and 3 to the Summary Compensation Table on page 51. Pursuant to SEC guidance, the cash portion of the performance share award for the 2018-2020 performance cycle, if earned, will be included in the Summary Compensation Table under the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column in the year in which the performance criteria are met (i.e., 2020 — the last year of the performance cycle).

With respect to the PSP award for the 2015-2017 cycle, in January 2018, the Personnel and Compensation Committee determined that the applicable performance goals were achieved at 101.2% of target performance. The amount of cash that the named executives received under the 2015-2017 PSP performance cycle in 2018 can be found in footnote 3 to the Summary Compensation Table. The total number of shares each named

42    TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED  |  2019 Proxy Statement

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

executive received under the 2015-2017 performance share program in 2018 can be found in the Option Exercises and Stock Vested table. The maximum total number of shares each named executive is entitled to receive under the 2015-2017 performance share program in 2019 and 2020 can be found in the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End table under the column headed “Number of Shares or Units of Stock That Have Not Vested.”

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award Program.    The performance-based restricted stock award program provides for awards of performance-based restricted stock, generally each calendar year, to key employees at an aggregate fair market value equal to a percentage of each recipient’s annual base salary as of the date of the grant, unless otherwise determined by the Personnel and Compensation Committee. The shares of restricted stock are subject to both time-based and performance-based restrictions. In general, the restricted period for each award of performance-based restricted stock extends from the date of the grant to the third anniversary of such date, with the restrictions lapsing in full on the third anniversary. However, unless the Personnel and Compensation Committee determines otherwise, if we fail to meet certain minimum performance goals for a multi-year performance cycle (typically three years) established by the Personnel and Compensation Committee then all of the restricted stock would be forfeited. If we achieve the minimum performance goals but fail to attain an aggregate level of 100% of the targeted performance goals, then a portion of the restricted stock would be forfeited.

The following schedule shows the percent of base salary used to determine the restricted stock awards granted in 2018 to named executives, which percentages were the same as in 2017. The percentages are determined by historical grant practices, a review of long-term compensation against benchmark peers and the general industry group and internal pay equity consideration.

The targeted performance goal for 2018 is the price of our common stock as compared to the Russell 1000 Index. For a participant to retain any of the restricted shares, our three-year aggregate return to shareholders (as measured by our stock price) must be more than 35% of the performance of the Russell 1000 Index for the three-year period. If our stock performance is less than 35% of the Russell 1000 Index performance, all restricted shares would be forfeited. If it ranges from 35% to less than 100%, a portion of the restricted shares will be forfeited. If it is 100% or greater, no shares are forfeited and the participant does not receive additional shares.

We believe that benchmarking the performance-based restricted stock performance goals to a broader market index like the Russell 1000 Index aligns the interest of management and stockholders because executives are rewarded only to the extent that our stock price performs relative to the stock prices of companies with similar market capitalizations.

A participant cannot transfer the restricted stock during the restricted period. In addition, during the restricted period, restricted stock generally will be forfeited upon a participant’s termination of employment. A description of the treatment of performance-based restricted stock awards upon termination of employment in cases of death, disability or retirement can be found under the heading “Potential Payments Upon Termination or a Change in Control” beginning on page 63 of this Proxy Statement. Upon expiration of the restricted period, absent any forfeiture, we will deliver to the recipient certificates for the appropriate number of shares of common stock, as determined by the Personnel and Compensation Committee based on achievement of the specified performance objectives, free of the restrictive legend.

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED  |  2019 Proxy Statement    43

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

We granted performance-based restricted stock to key employees on January 23, 2018, January 24, 2017, January 26, 2016 and February 17, 2015. Restrictions on 100% of the January 26, 2016 award lapsed on January 26, 2019, since the performance of our stock price was 175.8% of that of the Russell 2000 for the three-year period ended December 31, 2018, and on January 22, 2019 the Personnel and Compensation Committee confirmed release of all restrictions as of January 26, 2019. Restrictions on 100% of the February 17, 2015 award lapsed on February 17, 2018, since the performance of our stock price was 138% of that of the Russell 2000 for the three-year period ended December 31, 2017.

For purposes of the Summary Compensation Table, performance-based restricted stock awards are valued at fair value on the date of grant as calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and this value is reported in the Stock Awards column.

The potential payouts under January 23, 2018 restricted stock can be found in the table headed “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” on page 53 of this Proxy Statement. The maximum number of shares that the named executive could retain under the performance-based restricted stock awards granted on January 26, 2016, January 24, 2017 and January 22, 2018, can be found in the table headed “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End” beginning on page 55 of this Proxy Statement.

Stock Ownership Policies

Our Personnel and Compensation Committee believes stock-based compensation is an important element of compensation and, as discussed above, stock-based compensation figures prominently in our mix of compensation. In 2008, our Board adopted stock ownership guidelines that require key executives and non-employee directors to maintain ownership of a specified amount of Teledyne common stock. Key executives are required to own shares of Teledyne common stock equal in market value to the amount set forth below:

A key executive, who is defined as a recipient of a performance-based restricted stock or RSU award, is expected to attain the minimum level of target ownership within a period of five years from the date of hire or promotion and is expected to own continuously sufficient shares to meet the guideline once attained.

In determining the value of common stock, the Nominating and Governance Committee uses the average price of Teledyne common stock during the most recent calendar year. Performance-based restricted stock and RSUs and vested in-the-money options are included in the definition of common stock.

Our Nominating and Governance Committee reviews compliance with the stock ownership guidelines annually at its January meeting. As of the end of 2018, all our key executives (including the named executives) and non-employee directors owned sufficient shares to comply with the guidelines. The full text of our stock ownership guidelines is available on our website at www.teledyne.com under “Corporate Information — Governance”.

Change in Control Severance Agreements

Each of our named executives is a party to a change in control severance agreement with us. A description of the terms of the agreements can be found under the heading “Potential Payments upon Termination or a Change in Control” beginning on page 63 of this Proxy Statement. In entering into these agreements, the Personnel and Compensation Committee desired to assure that we would have the continued dedication of

44    TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED  |  2019 Proxy Statement

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

certain executives and the availability of their advice and counsel, notwithstanding the possibility of a change in control, and to induce such executives to remain in our employ. The Personnel and Compensation Committee believes that, should the possibility of a change in control arise, it is imperative that we be able to receive and rely upon our executives’ advice, if requested, as to the best interests of our Company and stockholders without the concern that he or she might be distracted by the personal uncertainties and risks created by the possibility of a change in control. The Personnel and Compensation Committee also considered arrangements offered to similarly situated executives of comparable companies.

We chose the specific amounts and triggers contained in the change in control severance agreements because we believe such terms provide reasonable assurances that our executive officers will remain employed with us through an acquisition or change of control event, should one occur, and assist in the assessment of a possible acquisition or change in control event and advise management and the Board as to whether such acquisition or change in control event would be in the best interests of our Company and stockholders. With input from its independent compensation consultant, the Personnel and Compensation Committee last reviewed the terms of the change in control severance agreements against market practices in July 2018.

Employment Agreements with Dr. Mehrabian and Mr. Pichelli.    On October 23, 2018, the Board of Directors of Teledyne named Dr. Mehrabian, the then-current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Teledyne, as Executive Chairman, and Mr. Pichelli, the then-current President and Chief Operating Officer of Teledyne, as President and Chief Executive Officer, in each case effective January 1, 2019. Dr. Mehrabian’s employment contract (the “Mehrabian Employment Agreement”) was amended and restated and, in connection with this amendment and restatement, his term was extended through December 31, 2023. The Company and Mr. Pichelli entered into an employment agreement (the “Pichelli Employment Agreement”) that provides for a three-year term which began on January 1, 2019 and ends on December 31, 2021.

With input from its independent compensation consultant, the Personnel and Compensation Committee set target total compensation for each of Dr. Mehrabian and Mr. Pichelli below the market median for total compensation for chief executive officers. The Personnel and Compensation Committee further set long term incentives to provide an equal value mix among the three components of Teledyne’s long-term compensation programs (PSP, Restricted Stock and Stock Options), with each component providing target compensation (on an annualized basis) equal to each executive’s annual base salary (beginning in 2019 for Mr. Pichelli and 2020 for Dr. Mehrabian).

Dr. Mehrabian’s previous employment agreement would have expired on December 31, 2019. The amended employment agreement with Dr. Mehrabian contemplates lower overall total compensation for Dr. Mehrabian beginning in 2020.

The terms of the two employment agreements are set forth below.

The Mehrabian Employment Agreement provides that through December 31, 2018, Teledyne will employ Dr. Mehrabian as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and that effective January 1, 2019, Teledyne will employ Dr. Mehrabian as Executive Chairman. The Executive Chairman shall have primary responsibility to manage the affairs of the Board and to manage and direct mergers and acquisition activities and strategic planning and margin expansion initiatives of Teledyne. The term of the Mehrabian Employment Agreement continues through December 31, 2023.

The Mehrabian Employment Agreement provides that Dr. Mehrabian’s current annual base salary of $995,000 will continue through December 31, 2019, after which date his base salary will be reduced to $900,000. Such base salary may be increased annually at the discretion of the Personnel and Compensation Committee.

The Mehrabian Employment Agreement further provides for the following, among other things:

The Pichelli Employment Agreement provides that Teledyne will employ Mr. Pichelli as President and Chief Executive Officer effective January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2021. The Pichelli Employment Agreement also provides that effective January 1, 2019, Mr. Pichelli’s annual base salary shall be $800,000. Such base salary may be increased annually at the discretion of the Personnel and Compensation Committee.

The Pichelli Employment Agreement further provides, among other things, that effective January 1, 2019:

Perquisites and Other Benefits

All our named executives receive car allowances. We provide car allowances in cases where the named executive typically travels for business and for retention of senior executives. The amount of the car allowance is included in the column head “All Other Compensation” in the Summary Compensation Table.

Deferred Compensation

Our named executives are eligible to participate in our executive deferred compensation plan. The deferred compensation plan is a voluntary, non-tax qualified, unfunded deferred compensation plan available to all members of management and certain other highly-compensated employees for providing deferred compensation, and thus potential tax benefits, to these employees. A description of the terms of the deferred compensation plan can be found under the heading “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” beginning on page 60 of this Proxy Statement. In addition, the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table on page 60 of this Proxy Statement sets forth information about the account balances, contributions and withdrawals of each named executive that participates in the deferred compensation plan.

Pension Plans

Our pension plan was initially established at the time of our spin-off as an independent company. Our domestic defined benefit pension plan covers substantially all U.S. employees hired before January 1, 2004. Effective January 1, 2004, to limit our future obligations under our pension plan, we eliminated the participation of new employees in the pension plan. Of our named executives, Dr. Mehrabian, Mr. Pichelli and Miss Cibik participate in our pension plan. The annual benefits payable under the pension plan to participating salaried employees retiring at or after age 65 is calculated under a formula which considers the participant’s compensation and years of service. The Internal Revenue Code limits the amounts payable to participants under a qualified pension plan. We have also adopted a pension equalization/benefit restoration plan, which is designed to restore benefits that would be payable under the pension plan provisions but for the limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, to the levels calculated pursuant to the formulas contained in the pension plan provisions or for any monies deferred under our deferred compensation plan. The pension equalization/benefit restoration plan was amended to freeze accruals under that plan effective February 28, 2015. The amounts which may be received by the named executives that participate in the pension plans can be found in the Pension Benefits Table beginning on page 58 of this Proxy Statement.

A description of the terms of our pension plans can be found under the heading “Pension Benefits” beginning on page 58 of this Proxy Statement. In addition, the Pension Benefits Table sets forth information about each named executive’s years of credited service and the actuarial present value of each named executive’s accumulated benefit under our pension plan.

Clawback Policy

In February 2014, our Board approved a “clawback” policy that gives the Board the ability to seek reimbursement from executive officers of bonus, incentive and equity-based awards under the following circumstances:

This clawback policy applies to awards paid or vesting after January 1, 2014. The policy further provides that the Board will not seek to recover awards that are paid or that have vested more than three years prior to the date the applicable restatement is disclosed.

In addition, individual performance objectives for executive officers under our AIP program include compliance with laws and Company policies and procedures. As a result, an executive’s bonus may be adversely affected to the extent a financial restatement or similar event involved a violation of law or Company policy.

Stock Options.    Stock options may be granted under our stockholder approved incentive award plans by the Personnel and Compensation Committee, which is the administrator of these plans. The Personnel and Compensation Committee has delegated authority to our Executive Chairman to grant a specified number of options to employees under the Amended and Restated 2014 Incentive Award Plan. This authority is used to make grants to new hires, upon promotion of certain employees, to retain certain employees, and in connection with acquisitions. Of these shares, 40,084 remained available for grant by our Executive Chairman under this delegated authority as of February 15, 2019.

Stock options are granted to employees by the Personnel and Compensation Committee in January of each year at its regularly scheduled committee meeting. We typically issue our press release containing financial results for the prior fiscal year shortly following this meeting date. Grants by our Executive Chairman under his delegated authority may be made at any time, but primarily have been made to new hires (including new hires resulting from acquisitions) or following the successful completion of special projects. In 2018, 6,521 options were granted to employees by our now Executive Chairman under his delegated authority.

Pursuant to the terms of the 2014 Incentive Award Plan and its successor, the Amended and Restated 2014 Incentive Award Plan, the exercise price for stock option grants must equal the fair market value of our common stock, which for purposes of these Plans is defined as the closing sales price of a share of our common stock on the NYSE on the date of grant. New grants made by our Personnel and Compensation Committee have exercise prices equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the effective date of the award, which is the date of the meeting at which the grant was approved by the Personnel and Compensation Committee. Grants made by the Chief Executive Officer have exercise prices equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.

Stock Awards.    Performance-based restricted stock awards and the stock portion of PSP awards may be granted under our stockholder-approved incentive award plans by the Personnel and Compensation Committee, which is the administrator of these plans.

Performance-based restricted stock awards are generally granted each year by the Personnel and Compensation Committee at its regularly scheduled meeting in January. For 2018, the number of shares was determined by dividing an amount generally equal in value to a specified percentage of a participating executive’s base salary by the average of the high and low stock prices for 20 trading days preceding the date of grant.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

Performance cycles under the PSP are generally established once every three years, at one of the Personnel and Compensation Committee’s regularly scheduled meetings in the first quarter. Under our incentive award plans, the number of shares for the stock portion of the award is determined by dividing one half of the value of the award by an amount equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the NYSE on the date that the performance cycle is established by the Personnel and Compensation Committee.

Non-employee directors are automatically granted an award of restricted stock units in an amount equal to $110,000 divided by the fair market value of our common stock on the NYSE on the date of the respective annual meeting.

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (Section 162(m)) generally disallows a tax deduction for annual compensation paid to a chief executive officer and “covered employees” in excess of $1 million.

For tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the deduction limit has an exception for “qualified performance-based compensation.” However, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) includes changes to Section 162(m), including eliminating the exemption for “qualified performance-based compensation,” effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017.

The Tax Act provides for a grandfather provision, pursuant to which remuneration that is provided pursuant to a written binding contract in effect on November 2, 2017, and which has not been modified in any material respect on or after that date, will not be subject to the amendments made to Section 162(m) by the Tax Act. To the extent available, we intend to continue to treat “qualified performance-based compensation” that is grandfathered under the Tax Act as deductible compensation. However, our Personnel and Compensation Committee may determine in any year that it would be in our best interest for awards to be paid under stock incentive plans, or for other compensation to be paid, that would not satisfy the requirements for deductibility under Section 162(m).
