Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On October 24, 2013, Teledyne issued a press release with respect to its third quarter 2013 financial results. That press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated herein by reference. The information furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02 shall in no way be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

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

(e)    On October 22, 2013, Teledyne Technologies Incorporated and Dr. Robert Mehrabian, the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Teledyne, entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) to implement actions of the Personnel and Compensation Committee taken at its meeting on October 22, 2013. The terms of the Employment Agreement are essentially the same as the previously filed Fourth Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, except that: (1) Dr. Mehrabian’s base salary was increased to $930,000, effective January 1, 2014, (2) Dr. Mehrabian would be eligible to receive a target cash bonus based on 120% of his annual base salary under the Annual Incentive Plan (AIP), (3) the percentage of annual base salary used to determine the number of shares awarded to Dr. Mehrabian under the Restricted Stock Award Program was increased to 100% (beginning in 2014), and (4) the term of the Employment Agreement continues through December 31, 2017.

A copy of the Employment Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

On October 22, 2013, the Personnel and Compensation Committee also took the following actions:

The Committee granted a Restricted Stock Award consisting of 5,854 shares of Teledyne common stock to Dr. Mehrabian. The terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Award are the same as are applicable to the awards granted to participants in the Restricted Stock Award Program on January 22, 2013, except that the performance cycle begins on the date of grant and ends on December 31, 2015. The performance goal, as with prior Restricted Stock Awards, is the price of Teledyne's common stock as compared to the Russell 2000 Index over the performance period. In order for Dr. Mehrabian to retain the restricted shares, Teledyne's aggregate return to shareholders (as measured by Teledyne's stock price) must be at least 35% of the performance of the Russell 2000 Index for the performance cycle period. If Teledyne's stock performance is less than 35% of the Russell 2000 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 more than 100%, no shares are forfeited and the participant does not receive additional shares. A copy of the Restricted Stock Award Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this filing.

The Committee approved new annual base salaries for the following Teledyne’s named executive officers set forth below, effective January 1, 2014.

With regard to Ms. Main, the Committee further indicated that (i) she would be eligible to receive a target cash bonus based on 75% of her annual base salary if and when the Committee established the Annual Incentive Plan (AIP) for 2014, and (ii) she would be eligible to receive a Restricted Stock Award equal in value equal to 45% of her annual base salary if and when the Committee established a Restricted Stock Award Program for the 2014-2016 performance cycle. With regard to Mr. Geveden, the Committee indicated that he would be eligible to receive a Restricted Stock Award equal to 45% of his annual base salary if and when the Committee established a Restricted Stock Award Program for the 2014-2016 performance cycle.






In setting such base salaries and other elements of compensation described above, the Committee considered general industry and industry peer compensation information provided by independent compensation consultants, executive performance, recent promotions, added responsibilities and other factors.
