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, 2016 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 mark the “WILL ATTEND” 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 2017 Annual Meeting.

Sincerely,

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED ^| 2017 Proxy Statement

Proxy Statement

for 2017 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 16, 2017, 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 2016 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 2016 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 26, 2017 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, 2017, you may vote at the Annual Meeting. On that day, there were 35,223,043 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:

(1)	Attending and voting in person at the Annual Meeting;

(2)	Accessing the Internet website specified in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and following the instructions provided on the website (or if printed copies of the proxy materials were requested, as specified in the printed proxy card);

(3)	Calling the telephone number specified in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and voting by following the instructions provided on the phone line (or if copies of the proxy materials were requested, as specified in the printed proxy card); or

(4)	Requesting a printed proxy card and completing, signing, dating and promptly mailing the proxy card in the envelope provided.

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.

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED ^| 2017 Proxy Statement 1

Voting Procedures (continued)

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:

•

sending a written notice to the Secretary for receipt prior to the meeting that you revoke your proxy;

•

transmitting a proxy dated later than your prior proxy either by mail, telephone or Internet; or

•

attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person or by proxy (except for shares held in the employee benefit plan).

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 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 21, 2017, 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, say on pay and frequency of 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 3). 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.

2 TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED ^| 2017 Proxy Statement

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 Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, 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 2016, the Board of Directors held eight meetings and acted by written consent two times. During 2016, all directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and Board committees of which they were members. All of the current directors attended the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

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. Admiral Miller, who is 75, was granted a waiver through the 2018 Annual Meeting and each of Mr. Crocker, who is 78, and Dr. Mehrabian, who is 75, were granted waivers of the retirement policy through the 2019 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 President and Chief Executive Officer and is not considered an independent director, presides at meetings of stockholders and Board meetings. The Board has formally designated Charles Crocker, 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 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. The Board does not have a policy regarding the separation of the roles of the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer because it believes the Board should be able to freely select the Chairman of the Board based on criteria that it deems to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Board does not believe its independence is compromised by having a single person serve as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. 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 Chief Executive Officer) on a regularly scheduled basis, with the lead director presiding in such sessions.

The Board believes that currently it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to have a single person serve as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer to provide unified leadership and direction and an independent lead director to preside over executive sessions and to serve when the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is unable to perform the duties of that office. However, consistent with good corporate governance principles, the Nominating and Governance Committee will continue to review periodically this issue to determine whether, based on the relevant facts and circumstances at such future times, separation of the offices of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer would better serve the interests of the Company and its stockholders.

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED ^| 2017 Proxy Statement 3

Corporate Governance

Director Independence

In April 2016, 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. In order 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 64. 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, with the exception of Dr. Mehrabian, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. Our management, after reviewing director questionnaires, reported to our Board in February 2017 that information on which the Board based its independence assessment in 2016 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. Frank V. Cahouet was an independent director prior to his retirement at the 2016 Annual Meeting on April 27, 2016.

The Nominating and Governance Committee, followed by the Board, also determined that each member of our Personnel and Compensation Committee is an “outside director” within the meaning of Rule 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and 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 the area of 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 in an effort 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:

•

Director qualification standards.

•

Director responsibilities.

•

Director access to management and independent advisors.

•

Director compensation.

•

Director orientation and continuing education.

•

Management succession.

•

Annual performance evaluation of the Board and its Committees.

•

Director retirement and resignations.

•

Role of the lead director.

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 “Corporate Information — Governance”. 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, tax, finance, accounting and pension matters at least quarterly. 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 Vice President and Treasurer periodically reports to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors on the progress and results of this program.

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, Vice President 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; Caleb Standafer, Senior Director, Taxation and Associate Treasurer; Jason VanWees, Senior Vice President, Strategy and Mergers and Acquisitions; and Tyler Vernon, Senior Manager SEC/GAAP Compliance & 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 of 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.

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED ^| 2017 Proxy Statement 5

Corporate Governance (continued)

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 make a determination 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.

Item 1 on Proxy Card — Election of Directors

The Board of Directors has nominated for election this year the class of three incumbent directors whose terms expire at the 2017 Annual Meeting. The three-year term of the class of directors nominated and elected this year will expire at the 2020 Annual Meeting. So long as the number of nominees does not exceed the number of nominees to be elected (which is three nominees in the case of the 2017 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 three 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, in light of 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 2016. Frank V. Cahouet was a member of the Audit Committee prior to his retirement at the 2016 Annual Meeting on April 27, 2016.

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:

•

Retain and approve the terms of the engagement and fees to be paid to the independent auditor.

•

Evaluate the performance of the independent auditor.

•

Receive written periodic reports from the independent auditor delineating all relationships between the independent auditor and us.

•

Review with the independent auditor any problems or difficulties the independent auditor may have encountered and any management letter provided by the independent auditor and our response to that letter.

•

Review our annual audited financial statements and the report thereon and quarterly unaudited financial statements with the independent auditor and management prior to publication of such statements.

•

Discuss with management the earnings press releases (including the type of information and presentation of information).

•

Review major issues regarding accounting principles and financial statement presentations and judgments made in connection with the preparation of our financial statements.

•

Meet at least quarterly with the senior internal auditing executive to discuss internal audits and findings and management’s response.

•

Meet periodically with management to review our financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures.

•

Meet periodically or on an as need basis with management to review financings, stock repurchases, significant tax matters, investment strategies, hedging strategies and certain information technology-related matters.

•

Review with our General Counsel legal matters that may have a material impact on the financial statements, our compliance policies and any material reports or inquiries received from regulators or governmental agencies.

The charter of the Audit Committee was last amended and restated on April 27, 2016. The Audit Committee charter provides that our senior internal auditing executive reports directly and separately to the Chair of the Audit Committee and the Chief Executive Officer. 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 5.

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

Committees of Our Board of Directors (continued)

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. Dahlberg and Mr. Smith each simultaneously serves on the audit committee of one other public company.

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.

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED ^| 2017 Proxy Statement 13

Committees of Our Board of Directors (continued)

As stated in the Corporate Governance Guidelines, nominees for director are to be selected on the basis of, 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.

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED ^| 2017 Proxy Statement 15

Item 2 on Proxy Card — Approval of Amended and Restated Teledyne Technologies Incorporated 2014 Incentive Award Plan

We are asking our stockholders to approve the proposed Amended and Restated Teledyne Technologies Incorporated 2014 Incentive Award Plan (the “Amended Plan”) which amends and restates the Company’s 2014 Incentive Award Plan (the “Original Plan”). On February 21, 2017, the Board adopted the Amended Plan, subject to stockholder approval, which makes the following material changes to the Original Plan:

•

Increases the number of shares available by 2,500,000 shares;

•

Provides that the aggregate number of shares available for issuance will be reduced by 2.93 shares for each share subject to an award other than a stock option or stock appreciation right (a “Full Value Award”) that is granted on or after the effective date of the Amended Plan, and that the number of shares available for issuance will be increased by 2.93 shares for each share subject to a Full Value Award granted on or after the effective date of the Amended Plan that again becomes available for grant pursuant to the terms of the Amended Plan;

•

Imposes a $750,000 limit on the total aggregate value of cash and equity-based awards granted under the Amended Plan to any non-employee director during any calendar year;

•

Mandates a vesting period of at least one year for all equity-based awards granted under the Amended Plan, which applies to no less than 95% of the shares authorized for grant (subject to certain limited exceptions);

•

Dividends and dividend equivalents payable in connection with all awards (previously only performance-based awards) granted under the Amended Plan will only be paid out to the extent that the time- and performance-based vesting conditions are satisfied and the shares underlying such awards are earned and vest; and

•

Permits the Company to withhold shares in connection with a net-share settlement of an award based on the award holder’s maximum individual statutory withholding rates for the applicable jurisdiction

The Board recommends a vote for the approval of the Amended Plan because it believes the Amended Plan is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and contains material changes to the Original Plan that are consistent with current sound corporate governance practices.

Background for our Request to Increase the Share Reserve

The Board believes that equity incentive awards are critical to attracting and retaining the most talented employees in our industry. The table below shows the number of options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards and performance share plan awards granted in each of the past three fiscal years.


Grants	2014			2015			2016
Options		612,018			—			520,310
Restricted Stock Awards		37,688			34,054			35,364
Restricted Stock Units		3,011			12,911			28,090
Performance Share Plan Awards Issued at Vesting		19,742	⁽¹⁾		1,944	⁽²⁾		864	⁽²⁾
Performance Share Plan Awards Granted		—			46,821	⁽³⁾		—

(1)	Represents shares issued in the third and final installment of the 2009-2011 cycle of the Performance Share Plan (PSP).

(2)	Represents shares issued in the first and second installments of the 2012-2014 cycle of the PSP.

(3)	In 2015, we established a 2015-2017 cycle of our Performance Share Plan (PSP), which is payable to participants 50% in cash and 50% in shares of common

stock in three annual installments following the last year of the performance cycle so long as the participant remains employed. Under this cycle of the PSP, the target number of shares that could be issued in three equal installments in 2018, 2019 and 2020 is 46,821. The maximum number of shares that could be issued in three equal installments in 2018, 2019 and 2020 is 93,642.

Based on historical equity award information, we estimate that the number of shares available for issuance under the Original Plan may not be sufficient to cover potential award grants through 2018. In its determination to approve the Amended Plan, our Board considered our historical award usage, modeling from proxy advisory services and advice from Exequity LLP, compensation consultant to the Personnel and Compensation Committee. Our Board also considered the dilution represented by the proposed number of available authorized shares under the Amended Plan plus the number of awards outstanding. On a fully diluted basis, this amount was approximately 15.59% as of February 21, 2017, the date the Board approved the Amended Plan, which we believe is reasonable potential equity dilution. Based on our historical grant practices as well as advice from Exequity LLP, we estimate that the shares reserved for issuance under the Amended Plan would be sufficient to cover equity awards at least through 2019. We believe that the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Amended Plan and a fungible

Item 2 on Proxy Card — Approval of Amended and Restated 2014 Incentive Award Plan (continued)

share ratio of 2.93 with respect to Full Value Awards granted on or after the effective date of the Amended Plan will provide us with the ability to attract and retain talent beyond 2017 as well as flexibility in determining the number and kinds of awards to issue.

General

The Board has adopted, subject to stockholder approval, the Amended Plan for employees, consultants, and members of the boards of directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Amended Plan amends and restates the Original Plan, which as of February 21, 2017, the date on which our Board approved the Amended Plan, had approximately 1.196 million shares available for issuance. The Amended Plan will become effective upon its approval by Company stockholders pursuant to the proposal in this Item 2.

The Amended Plan provides for the grant of stock options (both incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options), restricted stock, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), performance awards, dividend equivalents, stock payments, deferred stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based awards to eligible participants.

A summary of the principal provisions of the Amended Plan is set forth below, and the summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Plan, which is attached as Annex A to this Proxy Statement.

Total shares outstanding as of February 21, 2017 was 35,205,619. As of February 21, 2017, 2,641,472 options were outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $81.71 and weighted average remaining term of 6.89 years. In addition, as of February 21, 2017, there were 87,095 restricted stock awards outstanding and 30,936 restricted stock units outstanding. In 2015, we established a 2015-2017 cycle of our Performance Share Plan (PSP), which is payable to participants 50% in cash and 50% in shares of common stock in three annual installments following the last year of the performance cycle so long as the participant remains employed. Under this cycle of the PSP, the target number of shares that could be issued in three equal installments in 2018, 2019 and 2020 is 46,821. The 2015-2017 cycle of the PSP is the only PSP award outstanding as of February 21, 2017.

Section 162(m)

In addition to the above, we are asking stockholders to approve the Amended Plan to satisfy the stockholder approval requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 162(m)”).

In general, Section 162(m) places a limit on the deductibility for federal income tax purposes of the compensation paid to our Chief Executive Officer or any of our three other most highly compensated executive officers (other than our Chief Financial Officer). Under Section 162(m), compensation paid to such persons in excess of $1 million in a taxable year generally is not deductible. However, compensation that qualifies as “performance-based” under Section 162(m) does not count against the $1 million deduction limitation. One of the requirements of “performance-based” compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) is that the material terms of the plan under which compensation may be paid be disclosed to and approved by our public stockholders. For purposes of Section 162(m), the material terms include (i) the employees eligible to receive compensation, (ii) a description of the business criteria on which the performance goals may be based and (iii) the maximum amount of compensation that can be paid to an employee under the performance goals. Each of these aspects of the Amended Plan is discussed below, and stockholder approval of this Item 2 will be deemed to constitute approval of the material terms of the Amended Plan for purposes of the stockholder approval requirements of Section 162(m).

Stockholder approval of the material terms of the performance goals of the Amended Plan is only one of several requirements under Section 162(m) that must be satisfied for amounts realized under the Amended Plan to qualify for the “performance-based” compensation exemption under Section 162(m), and submission for stockholder approval of the material terms of the performance goals of the Amended Plan should not be viewed as a guarantee that we will be able to deduct all compensation under the Amended Plan. Nothing in this proposal precludes us or the Personnel and Compensation Committee from making any payment or granting awards that do not qualify for tax deductibility under Section 162(m).

Stockholder Approval

If stockholders do not approve the proposal in this Item 2, the proposed additional shares will not become available for issuance, the Amended Plan will not become effective and the Original Plan will continue in full force and effect and we may continue to grant performance-vesting and other equity awards under the Original Plan, whether or not such awards are subject to Section 162(m)’s compensation deduction limit.

Material Terms of the Amended Plan

Administration

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Amended Plan will be administered by the Personnel and Compensation Committee (the “Administrator”), which will consist solely of two or more directors who are “outside directors” for purposes of Section 162(m) and non-employee directors (as defined in Rule 16b-3(b)(3) of the Exchange Act), except that with respect to awards granted to non-employee directors, the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board will administer the Amended Plan. The Administrator may delegate to a

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED ^| 2017 Proxy Statement 17

Item 2 on Proxy Card — Approval of Amended and Restated 2014 Incentive Award Plan (continued)

committee of one or more directors or one or more Company officers the authority to grant or amend awards under the Amended Plan to participants other than (i) senior Company executives who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, (ii) employees who are “covered employees” within the meaning of Section 162(m), and (iii) Company officers or directors to whom the authority to grant or amend awards under the Amended Plan has been delegated.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Administrator will have the authority to administer the Amended Plan, including the power to (i) designate participants under the Amended Plan, (ii) determine the types of awards granted to participants under the Amended Plan, the number of such awards, and the number of shares of common stock subject to such awards, (iii) determine and interpret the terms and conditions of any awards under the Amended Plan, including the vesting schedule, exercise price, whether to settle, or accept the payment of any exercise price, in cash, common stock, other awards or other property, and whether an award may be cancelled, forfeited or surrendered, (iv) prescribe the form of each award agreement, and (v) adopt rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Amended Plan.

Eligibility

Persons eligible to participate in the Amended Plan include all employees (including officers of the Company), consultants and members of the boards of directors of the Company and its subsidiaries, as determined by the Administrator. As of January 1, 2017 approximately 8,970 employees, 43 consultants and nine non-employee directors were eligible to participate in the Amended Plan.

Limitation on Awards and Shares Available

As of the effective date of the Original Plan, an aggregate of 3,236,278 shares of our common stock was initially available for issuance under awards granted pursuant to the Original Plan. As of January 1, 2017 and February 21, 2017, respectively, there were approximately 1.740 million and 1.196 million shares available for issuance under the Original Plan. If the proposal in this Item 2 is approved, then the aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued or transferred under the Amended Plan will be the sum of (i) 2,500,000 shares, (ii) the number of shares which, as of the effective date of the Amended Plan, are available for issuance under the Original Plan and (iii) any shares subject to awards outstanding under the Amended 2008 Incentive Award Plan, as amended (the “Prior Plan”) which, on or after the effective date of the Amended Plan, are forfeited or lapse unexercised and which following such date are not issued under the Prior Plan.

Under the Original Plan, the aggregate number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Original Plan was reduced by 2.22 shares for each share of common stock delivered in settlement of a Full Value Award. If the proposal in this Item 2 is approved, then the aggregate number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Amended Plan will be reduced by (i) 2.22 shares for each share of common stock subject to a Full Value Award that is granted prior to the effective date of the Amended Plan and (ii) 2.93 shares for each share of common stock subject to a Full Value Award that is granted on or after the effective date of the Amended Plan. The shares of common stock covered by the Amended Plan may be authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares or shares purchased in the open market.

Generally, shares of common stock subject to an award that terminates, expires or lapses for any reason are made available for issuance again under the Amended Plan. However, under the Original Plan, each share subject to a Full Value Award that terminated, expired, or lapsed for any reason increased the number of shares that could be issued under the Original Plan by 2.22 shares. If the proposal in this Item 2 is approved, then each share subject to a Full Value Award granted prior to the effective date of the Amended Plan that terminates, expires, or lapses for any reason will increase the number of shares that can be issued under the Amended Plan by 2.22 shares, and each share subject to a Full Value Award granted on or after the effective date of the Amended Plan that terminates, expires, or lapses for any reason will increase the number of shares that can be issued under the Amended Plan by 2.93 shares. Shares of common stock tendered or withheld to satisfy the grant or exercise price pursuant to any stock option, shares of common stock tendered or withheld to satisfy the tax withholding obligation pursuant to any stock option or SAR, shares of common stock that were subject to a stock-settled SAR that are not issued upon exercise of the SAR and shares of common stock purchased on the open market with the cash proceeds from the exercise of options will not be available for issuance again under the Amended Plan. The payment of dividend equivalents in cash in conjunction with outstanding awards will not be counted against the shares available for issuance under the Amended Plan. Furthermore, shares of common stock may not be optioned, granted or awarded again if it would prevent any stock option that is intended to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code from so qualifying. In addition, shares issued in assumption of, or in substitution for, any outstanding awards previously granted by an entity in connection with a corporate transaction will not be counted against the shares available for issuance under the Amended Plan.

The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be subject to one or more awards granted to any person pursuant to the Amended Plan during any calendar year is 750,000 and the maximum amount that may be paid in cash during any calendar year with respect to any award to any individual person pursuant to the Amended Plan during any calendar year is $5,000,000. In addition, under the Original Plan, the maximum aggregate value of awards that could be granted to any non-employee director pursuant to the Original Plan during any calendar year could not exceed $750,000. If proposal in this Item 2 is approved, then the sum of any cash compensation and the grant date fair value of all awards granted to any non-employee director pursuant to the Amended Plan during any calendar year cannot exceed $750,000.

18 TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED ^| 2017 Proxy Statement

Item 2 on Proxy Card — Approval of Amended and Restated 2014 Incentive Award Plan (continued)

Subject to certain adjustment provisions in the Amended Plan, awards granted under the Amended Plan after its effective date may not vest earlier than the first anniversary of the grant date of the award; provided, however, that such minimum vesting provision will not apply to awards that result in the issuance of an aggregate of up to 5% of the shares available under the Amended Plan as of its effective date. Additionally, the Administrator may choose to accelerate the vesting of any award in connection with or following a holder’s death, disability, termination of service or the consummation of a change in control.

Awards

The Amended Plan provides for grants of stock options (both incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options), restricted stock, SARs, performance awards, dividend equivalents, stock payments, deferred stock, RSUs and performance-based awards. Each award must be evidenced by a written award agreement with terms and conditions consistent with the Amended Plan. Upon the exercise or vesting of an award, the exercise or purchase price must be paid in full by: cash or check; tendering shares of common stock with a fair market value at the time of exercise or vesting equal to the aggregate exercise or purchase price of the award or the exercised portion thereof, if applicable; delivery of a written or electronic notice that the holder has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to shares then issuable upon exercise or vesting of an award, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the aggregate payments required, provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale; or by tendering other property acceptable to the Administrator. Any withholding obligations may be satisfied in the Administrator’s sole discretion by causing the Company to, or allowing a holder to elect to have the Company, withhold shares otherwise issuable under an award which are equal to the fair market value on the date of withholding or repurchase no greater than the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the maximum individual statutory withholding rates for the applicable jurisdiction.

Stock Options. Stock options, including incentive stock options (as defined under Section 422 of the Code) and nonqualified stock options may be granted pursuant to the Amended Plan. The exercise price of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options granted pursuant to the Amended Plan will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, unless incentive stock options are granted to any individual who owns, as of the date of grant, stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Company stock (a “Ten Percent Owner”), in which case the exercise price of such incentive stock options will not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options may be exercised as determined by the Administrator, but in no event after (i) the fifth anniversary of the date of grant with respect to incentive stock options granted to a Ten Percent Owner, or (ii) the tenth anniversary of the date of grant with respect to incentive stock options granted to other employees and nonqualified stock options.

Restricted Stock. Restricted stock awards may be granted pursuant to the Amended Plan. A restricted stock award is the grant of shares of common stock at a price determined by the Administrator (including zero), that is subject to transfer restrictions and may be subject to substantial risk of forfeiture until specific conditions are met. Conditions may be based on continuing employment or achieving performance goals. During the period of restriction, participants holding shares of restricted stock may have full voting rights with respect to such shares. In addition, except in the event of certain transactions such as a spin-off, with respect to a share of restricted stock, dividends which are paid prior to vesting shall only be paid out to the holder to the extent that the applicable vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied and the share of restricted stock vests. The restrictions will lapse in accordance with a schedule or other conditions determined by the Administrator.

Stock Appreciation Rights. A SAR is the right to receive payment of an amount equal to (i) the excess of (A) the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of exercise of the SAR over (B) the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant of the SAR, multiplied by (ii) the aggregate number of shares of common stock subject to the SAR. Such payment will be in the form of cash, common stock or a combination of cash and common stock, as determined by the Administrator. The Administrator will determine the time or times at which a SAR may be exercised in whole or in part, provided that the term of any SAR will not exceed ten years. SARs granted under the Amended Plan may be coupled stock appreciation rights, which are related to a particular option and are exercisable only when and to the extent the related option is exercisable, or independent stock appreciation rights, which are unrelated to any option.

Restricted Stock Units. RSUs may be granted pursuant to the Amended Plan, typically without consideration from the participant. RSUs may be subject to vesting conditions including continued employment or achievement of performance criteria established by the Administrator. Like restricted stock, RSUs may not be sold or otherwise transferred or hypothecated until vesting conditions are removed or expire. Unlike restricted stock, the common stock underlying RSUs will not be issued until the RSUs have vested, and recipients of RSUs generally will have no voting rights prior to the time when vesting conditions are satisfied.

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED ^| 2017 Proxy Statement 19

Item 2 on Proxy Card — Approval of Amended and Restated 2014 Incentive Award Plan (continued)

Performance Awards. Awards of performance awards which may be a cash bonus award, stock bonus award, performance award, performance share, performance stock unit, performance bonus award or incentive award that is paid in cash, shares or a combination of both, may be linked to any one or more performance criteria determined appropriate by the Administrator, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the Administrator. Any participant selected by the Administrator may be granted a cash bonus payable upon the attainment of performance goals that are established by the administrator and relate to any one or more performance criteria determined appropriate by the Administrator on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the Administrator. Any performance award in the form of a cash bonus paid to a “covered employee” within the meaning of Section 162(m) may be a performance-based award as described below.

Dividend Equivalents. Dividend equivalents are rights to receive the equivalent value (in cash or common stock) of dividends paid on common stock. Dividend equivalents represent the value of the dividends per share of common stock paid by the Company, calculated with reference to the number of shares that are subject to any award held by the participant. Dividend equivalents are converted to cash or additional shares of common stock by such formula and at such time subject to such limitations as may be determined by the Administrator. In addition, with respect to an award, dividend equivalents which are paid prior to vesting shall only be paid out to the holder to the extent that the applicable vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied and the award vests. Dividend equivalents cannot be granted with respect to options or SARs.

Stock Payments. Stock payments include payments in the form of common stock, options or other rights to purchase common stock which may be made in lieu of all or any portion of the compensation that would otherwise be paid to the participant. The number of shares will be determined by the Administrator and may be based upon performance criteria determined appropriate by the Administrator, determined on the date such stock payment is made or on any date thereafter. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, a holder of a stock payment shall have no rights as a Company shareholder with respect to such stock payment until such time as the stock payment has vested and the shares underlying the Award have been issued to the Holder.

Deferred Stock. Deferred stock may be awarded to participants and may be linked to any performance criteria determined to be appropriate by the Administrator. Common stock underlying a deferred stock award will not be issued until the deferred stock award has vested, pursuant to a vesting schedule or performance criteria set by the Administrator, and unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, recipients of deferred stock generally will have no rights as a shareholder with respect to such deferred stock until the time the vesting conditions are satisfied and the stock underlying the deferred stock award has been issued.

Performance-based Awards. The Administrator may grant awards to employees who are or may be “covered employees,” as defined in Section 162(m), that are intended to be qualified performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) in order to preserve the deductibility of these awards for federal income tax purposes. Participants are only entitled to receive payment for a performance-based award for any given performance period to the extent that pre-established performance goals set by the Administrator for the period are satisfied. With regard to a particular performance period, the Administrator will have the discretion to select the length of the performance period, the type of performance-based awards to be granted, and the goals that will be used to measure the performance for the period. In determining the actual size of an individual performance-based award for a performance period, the Administrator may reduce or eliminate (but not increase) the award. Generally, a participant will have to be employed by the Company or a subsidiary throughout the applicable performance period to be eligible for a performance-based award.

Under the Amended Plan, pre-established performance goals for awards intended to be qualified performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) must be based on one or more of the following performance criteria: net earnings (either before or after interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization); gross or net sales or revenue; net income (either before or after taxes); operating income or profit (earnings from continuing operations before interest and taxes); cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow and free cash flow); return on assets; return on investment or working capital; return on stockholders’ equity; return on sales; gross or net profit or operating margin; costs; funds from operations; expense; working capital (including as a percentage of revenue); earnings per share; price per share of common stock; regulatory body approval for commercialization of a product; implementation or completion of critical projects; market share; reductions in inventory; inventory turns and on-time delivery performance; levels of accounts receivable and inventory; and economic value added (the amount, if any, by which net operating profit after tax exceeds a reference cost of capital), any of which may be measured either in absolute terms or as compared to any incremental increase or decrease or as compared to results of a peer group or a business plan.

Transferability of Awards. Awards cannot be assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of by a participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, pursuant to a domestic relations order subject to the consent of the Administrator, to certain intervivos trusts, or pursuant to beneficiary designation procedures approved from time to time by the Administrator, in each case as permitted by the applicable award agreement. The Administrator may provide in any award agreement that an award (other than an incentive stock option) may be

20 TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED ^| 2017 Proxy Statement

Item 2 on Proxy Card — Approval of Amended and Restated 2014 Incentive Award Plan (continued)

transferred to certain persons or entities related to a participant in the Amended Plan, including but not limited to members of the participant’s family. Such permitted assignees will be bound by and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator.

Repricing. The Administrator cannot, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, authorize the amendment of any outstanding option or SAR to reduce its price per share, or cancel any option or SAR in exchange for cash or another award when the option or SAR price per share exceeds the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock. Subject to adjustment of awards as described below, the Administrator does have the authority, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, to amend any outstanding award to increase the price per share or to cancel and replace an award with the grant of an award having a price per share that is greater than or equal to the price per share of the original award.

Data Privacy. As a condition to receipt of any award under the Amended Plan, each holder consents to the collection, use and transfer of personal data by and among the Company and its subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the holder’s participation in the Amended Plan. The Company and its subsidiaries may transfer data among themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the holder’s participation in the Amended Plan, and the Company and its subsidiaries may each transfer the data to any third parties assisting the Company and its subsidiaries in the implementation, administration and management of the Amended Plan. The Company may cancel the holder’s ability to participate in the Amended Plan and the holder may forfeit any outstanding awards if the holder refuses or withdraws his or her consents.

Adjustments to Awards

If there is a stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends), that affects the shares of common stock (or other securities of the Company) or the stock price of common stock (or other securities), then the Administrator will make equitable adjustments to the aggregate number and kind of shares that may be issued under the Amended Plan, (including adjustments to award limits and adjustment of the manner in which Full Value Awards will be counted), the number and kind of shares subject to each outstanding award under the Amended Plan, the exercise price or grant price of such outstanding award (if applicable), the number and kind of shares for which automatic grants are made to new and continuing non-employee directors, and the terms and conditions of any outstanding awards (including any applicable performance targets or criteria). The Company may refuse to permit the exercise of any award during a period of 30 days prior to the consummation of any such transaction.

If there is any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Company assets to stockholders, or other unusual or nonrecurring transactions or events, the Administrator may, in its discretion:

•

provide for the termination of any award in exchange for an amount of cash (if any) and/or other property equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such award or realization of the participant’s rights;

•

provide for the replacement of any award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator in its sole discretion having an aggregate value not exceeding the amount that could have been attained upon exercise of such award or realization or the participant’s rights;

•

provide that any outstanding award cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after such event;

•

provide that awards may be exercisable, payable or fully vested as to shares of common stock covered thereby;

•

provide that any surviving corporation (or its parent or subsidiary) will assume awards outstanding under the Amended Plan or will substitute similar awards for those outstanding under the Amended Plan, with appropriate adjustment of the number and kind of shares and the prices of such awards; or

•

make adjustments (i) in the number and type of shares of common stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding awards or (ii) to the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price) and the criteria included in, outstanding awards or future awards.

If there is a nonreciprocal transaction between the Company and its stockholders, such as a stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, rights offering or recapitalization through a large, nonrecurring cash dividend, that affects the shares of common stock (or other securities of the Company) or the stock price of common stock (or other securities) and causes a change in the per share value of the common stock underlying outstanding awards, then the Administrator will make equitable adjustments to the number and type of securities subject to each outstanding award under the Amended Plan, and the exercise price or grant price of such outstanding award (if applicable). The Administrator will make other equitable adjustments it determines are appropriate to reflect such an event with respect to the aggregate number and kind of shares that may be issued under the Amended Plan and to the manner in which shares subject to Full Value Awards will be counted to the aggregate number of shares under the Amended Plan. The Company may refuse to permit the exercise of any award during a period of 30 days prior to the consummation of any such transaction.

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED ^| 2017 Proxy Statement 21

Item 2 on Proxy Card — Approval of Amended and Restated 2014 Incentive Award Plan (continued)

Effect of a Change in Control

In the event of a change in control of the Company, each outstanding award will continue in effect or be assumed or substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation. If the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute outstanding awards, the Administrator may cause any or all of such awards to become fully vested immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction. If an award is exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a change in control, the Administrator shall notify the holder that the award will be fully exercisable for a period of 15 days from the date of such notice (or such other period of time as determined by the Administrator) and the award shall terminate on the change in control.

Amendment and Termination

The Administrator or the Board, may terminate, amend or modify the Amended Plan at any time; provided, however, that shareholder approval will be obtained (i) to increase the number of shares of common stock available under the Amended Plan or increase the previously described limitations on awards granted during any calendar year, (ii) to reduce the per share exercise price of any outstanding option or SAR, and (iii) cancel any option or SAR in exchange for cash or another award when the option or SAR price per share exceeds the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock. Generally, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Amended Plan shall, without the consent of the holder, impair any rights or obligations under any awards unless the award itself expressly provides.

In no event may any award be granted pursuant to the Amended Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Amended Plan.

Non-Employee Director Stock Compensation

Our Board previously adopted administrative rules under the Original Plan related to non-employee director stock compensation, and has adopted similar rules which shall apply under the Amended Plan. The rules reserve up to 200,000 shares of common stock for issuance to our non-employee directors in connection with our annual RSU grants as described below. Following each Annual Meeting of Stockholders, non-employee directors will receive RSUs valued at $110,000. The RSUs will generally vest one year following the date of grant and will be settled in shares of common stock on the date of vesting unless a director has elected to defer settlement of the award until his or her separation from Board service. If an individual becomes a non-employee director on a date after an Annual Meeting of Stockholders, such non-employee director would receive an automatic RSU grant valued at $55,000 on the date of grant.

Delegation of Authority

The Amended Plan provides that the Board or the Personnel and Compensation Committee may from time to time delegate to a committee of one or more members of the board or one or more officers of the Company the authority to grant or amend awards, subject to certain conditions and restrictions. In connection with the adoption of the Amended Plan, the Personnel and Compensation Committee delegated to our Chief Executive Officer the authority to grant options to purchase up to 50,000 shares of common stock under the Original Plan, subject to stockholder approval of the Amended Plan and certain other limitations. This delegated authority is intended to be used to issue stock options to facilitate acquisitions, to recognize promotions and achievements and to further employee retention in other circumstances. Awards may not be made to officers who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, who are “covered employees” under Section 162(m) or to whom authority to grant or amend awards has been granted pursuant to the Amended Plan. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has been delegated authority to administer the administrative rules for non-employee director stock compensation under the Amended Plan.

Share Price

On March 1, 2017, the Record Date, the closing price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange was $135.24 per share.

New Plan Benefits

Other than as described above with respect to awards of RSUs to our non-employee directors, the number of awards that our named executive officers, directors, other executive officers and other employees may receive under the Amended Plan in the future will be determined in the discretion of the Board or Personnel and Compensation Committee or our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, as applicable, and none of the Board or the Personnel and Compensation Committee or our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer has made any determination to make future grants to any persons under the Amended Plan as of the date of this Proxy Statement. Therefore, it is not possible to determine the future benefits that will be received by these participants under the Amended Plan, or the benefits that would have been received by such participants if the Plan, as proposed to be amended and restated, had been in effect in the year ended December 31, 2016.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a general summary under current law of the principal United States federal income tax consequences related to awards under the Amended Plan. This summary deals with the general federal income tax principles that apply and is provided only for general information. Some kinds of taxes, such as state, local and foreign income taxes and federal employment taxes, are not discussed. This summary is not intended as tax advice to participants, who should consult their own tax advisors.

Non-Qualified Stock Options.

If an optionee is granted a nonqualified stock option under the Amended Plan, the optionee should not have taxable income on the grant of the option. Generally, the optionee should recognize ordinary income at the time of exercise in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares acquired on the date of exercise, less the exercise price paid for the shares. The optionee’s basis in the common stock for purposes of determining gain or loss on a subsequent sale or disposition of such shares generally will be the fair market value of our common stock on the date the optionee exercises such option. Any subsequent gain or loss will be taxable as a long-term or short-term capital gain or loss. We or our subsidiaries or affiliates generally should be entitled to a federal income tax deduction at the time and for the same amount as the optionee recognizes ordinary income.

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED ^| 2017 Proxy Statement 23

Item 2 on Proxy Card — Approval of Amended and Restated 2014 Incentive Award Plan (continued)

Incentive Stock Options.

A participant receiving incentive stock options (“ISOs”) should not recognize taxable income upon grant. Additionally, if applicable holding period requirements are met, the participant should not recognize taxable income at the time of exercise. However, the excess of the fair market value of the shares of our common stock received over the option exercise price is an item of tax preference income potentially subject to the alternative minimum tax. If stock acquired upon exercise of an ISO is held for a minimum of two years from the date of grant and one year from the date of exercise and otherwise satisfies the ISO requirements, the gain or loss (in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value on the date of disposition and the exercise price) upon disposition of the stock will be treated as a long-term capital gain or loss, and we will not be entitled to any deduction. If the holding period requirements are not met, the ISO will be treated as one that does not meet the requirements of the Code for ISOs and the participant will recognize ordinary income at the time of the disposition equal to the excess of the amount realized over the exercise price, but not more than the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date the ISO is exercised over the exercise price, with any remaining gain or loss being treated as capital gain or capital loss. We are not entitled to a tax deduction upon either the exercise of an ISO or upon disposition of the shares acquired pursuant to such exercise, except to the extent that the participant recognizes ordinary income on disposition of the shares.

Other Awards.

The current federal income tax consequences of other awards authorized under the Amended Plan generally follow certain basic patterns: SARs are taxed and deductible in substantially the same manner as NSOs; restricted stock subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture results in income recognition equal to the excess of the fair market value over the price paid, if any, only at the time the restrictions lapse (unless the recipient elects to accelerate recognition as of the date of grant through a Section 83(b) election); RSUs, performance share awards, performance awards (including cash bonuses), stock payments, dividend equivalents, and other incentive awards are generally subject to tax at the time of payment.

Section 162(m) of the Code

Section 162(m) denies a deduction to any publicly-held corporation for compensation paid to “covered employees” in a taxable year to the extent that compensation paid to such covered employee exceeds $1 million. It is possible that compensation attributable to awards under the Amended Plan, when combined with all other types of compensation received by a covered employee from us, may cause this limitation to be exceeded in any particular year.

The Section 162(m) deduction limitation does not apply to “qualified performance-based compensation.” In order to qualify for the exemption for qualified performance-based compensation, Section 162(m) requires, among other things, that: (i) the compensation be paid solely upon account of the attainment of one or more pre-established objective performance goals, (ii) the performance goals must be established by a compensation committee comprised of two or more “outside directors,” (iii) the material terms of the performance goals under which the compensation is to be paid must be disclosed to and approved by the shareholders and (iv) the compensation committee of “outside directors” must certify that the performance goals have indeed been met prior to payment.

Section 162(m) contains a special rule for stock options and SARs which provides that stock options and SARs will satisfy the “qualified performance-based compensation” exemption if (i) the awards are made by a compensation committee comprised of “outside directors”, (ii) the plan sets the maximum number of shares that can be granted to any person within a specified period, and (iii) the compensation is based solely on an increase in the stock price after the grant date.

The Amended Plan has been designed to permit our Personnel and Compensation Committee to grant stock options, SARs and other awards which will qualify as “qualified performance-based compensation.”

If the Amended Plan is approved by our stockholders, our Personnel and Compensation Committee may, but is not obligated to, grant awards under the Amended Plan that constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m).

Section 409A of the Code

Certain types of awards under the Amended Plan may constitute, or provide for, a deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code. Unless certain requirements set forth in Section 409A of the Code are complied with, holders of such awards may be taxed earlier than would otherwise be the case (e.g., at the time of vesting instead of the time of payment) and may be subject to an additional 20% penalty tax (and, potentially, certain interest penalties and additional state taxes). To the extent applicable, the Amended Plan and awards granted under the Amended Plan are intended to be structured and interpreted in a manner intended to either comply with or be exempt from Section 409A

Item 2 on Proxy Card — Approval of Amended and Restated 2014 Incentive Award Plan (continued)

of the Code and the Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance that may be issued under Section 409A of the Code. To the extent determined necessary or appropriate by the plan administrator, the Amended Plan and applicable award agreements may be amended to further comply with Section 409A of the Code or to exempt the applicable awards from Section 409A of the Code.

Vote Required

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

No additional awards may be granted under the Amended and Restated 2008 Incentive Award Plan (2008 Plan). Any shares available under the 2008 Plan on the effective date of the 2014 Plan or that were subject to awards under the 2008 Plan that were forfeited or lapsed following the effective date of the 2014 Plan are automatically transferred to the 2014 Plan.

We maintain an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (commonly known as The Stock Advantage Plan) for eligible employees. It enables employees to invest in our common stock through automatic, after-tax payroll deductions, within specified limits. We add a 25% matching Company contribution up to $1,200 annually. Our contribution is currently paid in cash and the plan administrator purchases shares of our common stock in the open market. Historically, all shares used to fund the Employee Stock Purchase Plan have been purchased on the open market and no new shares have been issued.

Item 3 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 2017. 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 2017 is subject to the continued approval of the Audit Committee.

Ernst & Young LLP served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm until May 1, 2015.

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 2017. 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 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 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 3 on Proxy Card — Ratification of Appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (continued)

Change of Independent Public Accountants

As previously reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K, dated April 14, 2015, as amended on May 1, 2015, the Audit Committee conducted a competitive process to determine the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2015 fiscal year. The Audit Committee invited several independent registered public accounting firms, including Ernst & Young LLP, our then current independent registered public accounting firm, to participate in this process.

Following a competitive review and receipt of proposals from the independent registered public accounting firms that participated in the process, the Audit Committee recommended and authorized the dismissal of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, and authorized the engagement of Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2015 fiscal year, effective as of the date of Ernst & Young LLP’s completion of the audit services for the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2015, and the filing of our related Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. On May 1, 2015, we filed our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2015.

No audit report of Ernst & Young LLP on our consolidated financial statements for either of the past two fiscal years contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During our two most recent fiscal years and subsequent interim period preceding Ernst & Young LLP’s dismissal, there was no disagreement (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) with Ernst & Young LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Ernst & Young LLP, would have caused Ernst & Young LLP to make reference to the matter in their report.

We provided Ernst & Young LLP with a copy of the disclosures in our Current Report on Form 8-K and the amendment thereto, prior to filing with the SEC and requested Ernst & Young LLP to furnish us with letters addressed to the SEC stating whether Ernst & Young LLP agrees with the statements made by us in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of Ernst & Young LLP’s letters, dated April 14, 2015 and May 1, 2015, are attached as Exhibit 16.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K and the amendment thereto.

During our two most recent fiscal years and subsequent interim period preceding Deloitte & Touche LLP’s engagement, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted Deloitte & Touche LLP regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our consolidated financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided by Deloitte & Touche LLP to us that Deloitte & Touche LLP concluded was an important factor considered by our in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

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.

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED ^| 2017 Proxy Statement 27

Item 3 on Proxy Card — Ratification of Appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (continued)

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.

Audit Partner Rotation. The guidelines provide that neither the lead or coordinating partner of our independent registered public accounting firm having primary responsibility for the 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, our independent registered public accounting firm reviews with the Audit Committee all audit, non-audit and tax services it provides to us. For 2016, 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 2017 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 January 1, 2017 (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 April 27, 2016, which has been adopted by the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee is comprised of seven 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 January 1, 2017, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED ^| 2017 Proxy Statement 29

Item 4 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.

Teledyne achieved growth in the majority of its commercial businesses in 2016. However, this growth was offset by a severe contraction in marine instrumentation for offshore energy exploration and production. We believe that our performance-oriented executive compensation program incentivized management to respond aggressively to a challenging energy market while rewarding growth in other commercial businesses in 2016. Highlights include:

•

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) earnings per diluted share in 2016 decreased 1.3%, despite a 6.4% decline in sales.

•

Our management team successfully implemented steps to reduce our cost structure, including consolidating businesses and our manufacturing footprint and eliminating many leased facilities, and making difficult workforce reductions.

•

Record operating margin was achieved in the third quarter of 2016.

•

Orders increased from last year and year-end backlog increased over $110 million.

•

We closed five bolt-on acquisitions and divested Teledyne Printed Circuit Technology.

•

We announced the pending acquisition of e2v technologies plc, our largest transaction to date.

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 2017 Annual Meeting:

RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executives during 2016, 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 2017 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 2011 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 4) will be held at our next annual meeting in 2018, although the Board of Directors may decide to modify this practice, particularly in light of the result of Item 5, the advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation.

The Board of Directors Recommends

a Vote FOR Approval of the Advisory Resolution

on Executive Compensation.

30 TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED ^| 2017 Proxy Statement

Item 5 on Proxy Card — Advisory Vote on the Frequency of Future Advisory Votes on Executive Compensation

Pursuant Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are asking stockholders to vote on whether future advisory votes on executive compensation should occur every year, every two years or every three years. We are required to ask stockholders to vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation at least once every six years. In 2011, stockholders voted to hold advisory votes on executive compensation on an annual basis.

After careful consideration, the Board of Directors recommends that future advisory votes on executive compensation continue to occur every year (annually). We believe that an annual vote allows our stockholders to provide us with regular and comprehensive input on important issues such as our executive compensation programs and practices as disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement each year. The Company values and considers shareholder input on corporate governance matters and on our executive compensation program and practices and we look forward to hearing from our stockholders on this proposal.

Stockholders will be able to specify one of four choices for this proposal on the proxy card: three years, two years, one year or abstain. Stockholders are not voting to approve or disapprove the Board’s recommendation. This advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation is non-binding on the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the Board’s recommendation and the outcome of the stockholder vote, the Board may in the future decide to conduct advisory votes on a more or less frequent basis and may vary its practice based on factors such as discussions with stockholders and the adoption of material changes to compensation programs.

The option of one year, two years or three years that receives the highest number of votes cast will be the frequency of the advisory vote on executive compensation that has been approved by stockholders on an advisory basis. If you sign and return your proxy card, your shares will be voted (unless you indicate to the contrary) to vote in favor of the one year option. If you specifically abstain from voting on the proposal, the abstention will not have an effect on the outcome of the vote.

The Board of Directors Recommends

You Vote to Conduct Future Advisory

Votes on Executive Compensation

Every Year.

Other Business

We know of no business that may be presented for consideration at the meeting other than the three action items indicated in the Notice of Annual Meeting. 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, Chairman, 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.

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, 2017, 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.

Executive and Director Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Executive Summary and 2016 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 2000 Index over a three-year performance period. The PSP is designed to reward executives for achieving a mix of both profitable long-term growth and total shareholder return relative to the Russell 2000 Index over a three-year performance period. In addition, the PSP also serves to reinforce long-term executive retention since payments under the PSP are subject to further 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 receives advice and assistance in setting compensation from an independent compensation consultant.

At the Company’s 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on April 27, 2016, the non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation passed with an approval rate of over 99% 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 2016. 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 2016 Performance:

•

GAAP earnings per diluted share in 2016 decreased 1.3%, despite a 6.4% decline in sales.

•

Record operating margin was achieved in the third quarter of 2016.

•

Orders increased from last year and year-end backlog increased over $110 million.

•

We closed five bolt-on acquisitions and divested Teledyne Printed Circuit Technology.

•

We announced the pending acquisition of e2v technologies plc, our largest transaction to date.

Summary of 2016 Executive Compensation

Teledyne’s named executives for 2016 are:

•

Robert Mehrabian, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer;

•

Susan L. Main, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer;

•

Aldo Pichelli, Chief Operating Officer;

•

Melanie S. Cibik, Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and Secretary; and

•

Jason VanWees, Senior Vice President, Strategy and Mergers & Acquisitions.

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 2015 to review salaries to take effect in 2016, the Personnel and Compensation Committee, based on the recommendation of Dr. Mehrabian and other factors, approved no increases to base salaries for the named executives other than for Mr. Pichelli. who was promoted to Chief Operating Officer in October 2015.

Annual Incentives:

On average, AIP awards for named executives were 4.3% higher than 2015 amounts and the corporate performance component of the plan was earned at 91.2% of target. Payouts reflect performance relative to key operational metrics, including revenue, profit, receivables, and inventory objectives that were approved by our independent compensation committee and are described in greater detail beginning on page 40.

36 TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED ^| 2017 Proxy Statement

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

Long-Term Incentives:

Awards Issued

In January 2016, the Personnel and Compensation Committee issued three-year performance-based restricted stock and stock option awards, at levels consistent with prior award levels. The other component of our long-term incentive program, the Performance Share Plan, is issued on a triennial basis and no new awards were made pursuant to that program in 2016.

On December 20, 2016, the Personnel and Compensation Committee made a special grant of a Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) Award consisting of 16,045 RSUs to Dr. Mehrabian. The RSUs vest in three equal annual installments beginning December 20, 2017, so long as Dr. Mehrabian remains employed with Teledyne on the applicable installment vesting date. In deciding to grant the RSU award, the Committee considered general industry and industry peer compensation information provided by its independent compensation consultants, retention strategy, executive performance, including Dr. Mehrabian’s role in identifying, implementing and integrating transformative acquisitions and other factors.

Awards Earned

During the three-year period ended December 31, 2016, Teledyne’s stock price growth was 116.7% of the growth in the Russell 2000 Index for the same period. As a result, in January 2017, participants in Teledyne’s performance-based restricted stock program received 100% of the 2014 restricted stock award, which had a three-year performance period ended December 31, 2016.

Commitment to Best Practices:

The Personnel and Compensation Committee periodically reviews its compensation policies and practices in light of best practices and makes appropriate adjustments when necessary. For example, in 2010, all of our currently employed named executives agreed to amend their change in control severance agreements to eliminate automatic single trigger vesting of stock options, excise tax gross-ups for “excess parachute” payments and to change the formula used to calculate severance payments.

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

•

we do not guarantee bonuses, or equity awards, outside of certain negotiated, one-time new hire situations;

•

we do not exercise discretionary upward adjustment to incentive awards for named executives;

•

base salaries and other components of compensation are informed by external market conditions including peer group data provided by independent compensation consultants and approved by the Personnel and Compensation Committee, which consists entirely of independent directors;

•

performance incentive awards are capped and there will be no payout if minimum performance goals are not achieved;

•

executive perquisites that are generally not available to other employees are minimal — and in the case of our Chief Executive Officer limited to a car allowance;

•

we have never re-priced stock options;

•

our insider trading policy prohibits the pledging or hedging of company stock by directors and executive officers;

•

we implemented stock ownership guidelines for key executive officers and directors in 2008 (which levels were increased for many participants in 2015 to be effective in 2016); and

•

in February 2014 we adopted a formal policy related to the “clawback” of incentive compensation in the event of a material financial misstatement or in the event of fraud or criminal misconduct.

Personnel and Compensation Committee

The Personnel and Compensation Committee reviews and administers the compensation for the Chief Executive Officer and other members of senior management, including the named executives listed on the Summary Compensation Table beginning on page 51 of this Proxy Statement. In the case of the Chief Executive Officer, 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 Section 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 2016. 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 2016 and again in January 2017, 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.

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED ^| 2017 Proxy Statement 37

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

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 other executive officer compensation, evaluate Chief Executive Officer and other executive officer performance in light of those goals and objectives, and determine and approve all compensation of the chief executive officer and other executive officers based on this evaluation. In determining the long-term incentive component of Chief Executive Officer compensation, the Personnel and Compensation Committee considers corporate performance and shareholder return relative to the Russell 2000 Index, the value of similar incentive awards to chief executive officers at comparable companies and the awards given to the Chief Executive Officer 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 executive officers, including supplemental retirement benefits and the perquisites provided to them during and after employment.

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 2016 Overview” section above and in our Annual Report. In order 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:

Actuant Corporation

Ametek Inc.

Bruker Corporation

CACI International, Inc.

Crane Co.

Curtiss-Wright Corporation

Esterline Technologies Corporation

Flir Systems, Inc.

IDEX Corporation

ITT Corporation

MOOG, Inc.

Orbital ATK, Inc.

PerkinElmer, Inc.

Teradyne Inc.

Woodward, Inc.

Xylem, Inc.

The Personnel and Compensation Committee reviews the peer group on an annual basis. No changes to the peer group were made in 2016 or in 2017.

Our peer group contains companies having median annual revenues and market capitalizations of $2.2 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively. In 2016, Teledyne’s annual revenues were approximately $2.1 billion and its market capitalization as of end of 2016 was approximately $4.3 billion. The Personnel and Compensation Committee also reviews data collected from a broader industry group consisting of 96 companies in order 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 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. For purposes of this review, the Personnel and Compensation Committee considers an executive’s total annual compensation to be the sum of current year base salary, actual cash bonus earned in the prior fiscal year and paid in the current fiscal year, target bonus levels, the aggregate fair value of stock options granted during the fiscal year, the face value of performance-based restricted stock granted during the fiscal year and the target value of PSP awards, annualized over three years.

38 TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED ^| 2017 Proxy Statement

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

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 and performance-based and long term compensation 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 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 2016.

Robert Mehrabian:


	Peer Group Median			General Industry Median
Base salary		+11	%		+2	%
Target bonus		+20	%		+12	%

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

The following table shows the allocation of compensation between base salary, 2016 estimated target bonus and estimated long-term compensation for our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and all other named executives as a group. It emphasizes our focus on variable, rather than fixed pay.


	Robert Mehrabian			Other Named Executives
Base salary		19	%		28	%
Estimated target bonus		22	%		19	%
Estimated long-term compensation		59	%		53	%

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. No increases to base salary for named executives were effective in 2016 (save for 2017 increases to base salary which took effect in the payroll period beginning the last week of December 2016).

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 2016 awards for named executives as a percentage of 2016 base salary:


	AIP Award as a Percent of Salary
Participants	Target		Maximum		Actual
Robert Mehrabian		120%		240%		105%
Susan L. Main		75%		150%		78%
Aldo Pichelli		80%		160%		70%
Melanie S. Cibik		60%		120%		63%
Jason VanWees		60%		120%		63%

The target and maximum percentages were the same as in 2015.

The AIP award is tied to the achievement of predetermined levels of operating profit, revenue, accounts receivable and inventory as a percentage of sales (ARIS) and the achievement of specific individual performance goals. We chose operating profit, revenue and ARIS 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 operating profit is designed to encourage profitable growth, while the use of ARIS is designed to promote operational efficiency. The AIP components are weighted as follows for corporate executives:


Corporate Officers Award Component	Weighting
Operating Profit		40	%
Revenue		25	%
ARIS		15	%
Individual Performance Objectives		20	%
Total		100	%

40 TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED ^| 2017 Proxy Statement

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

For purposes of the 2016 AIP, all the named executives are Corporate Officers (business unit and segment managers have slightly different formulas). 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. Corporate operating profit serves as an absolute threshold for the entire AIP: if operating profit is below 75% of target, no AIP award will be earned. Both the operating profit 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:


Operating Profit		If actual performance equals or exceeds 120% of target, the component is weighted by multiplying the percentage by 2 (200%). If actual performance is less than 75% of target, the component is given a weighting of 0%. To the extent actual performance falls between 75% and 120% of target, the multiplying factor is adjusted proportionally (a reduction of three percent for each percentage point that actual performance falls below 100% and an increase of five percent for each percentage point that actual performance is above 100%).
Revenue		If actual performance equals or exceeds 120% of target, the component is weighted by multiplying the percentage by 2 (200%). If actual performance is less than 67% of target, the component is given a weighting of 0%. To the extent actual performance falls between 67% and 120% of target, the multiplying factor is adjusted proportionally (a reduction of three percent for each percentage point that actual performance falls below 100% and an increase of five percent for each percentage point that actual performance is above 100%).
ARIS		If actual performance is equal to or greater than 105% of target the component is weighted by multiplying the percentage by 2 (200%). If actual performance is equal to or less than 95% of target, the component is given a weighting of 0%. To the extent actual performance falls between 95% and 105% of target, the multiplying factor is adjusted proportionally.
Individual Performance Objectives		Weighted proportionally on a scale of 0% to 200%.

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. To this amount the Personnel and Compensation Committee may make downward (but not upward) discretionary adjustments for named executives.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

For purposes of determining operating profit and revenue for the AIP, we adjust the amounts for inter- company sales and certain one-time events and tax items. For purposes of the calculation of 2016 AIP Awards, the disposition of the Teledyne Printed Circuit Technologies business in July 2016 was treated as a discontinued operation. Operating profit 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 2016:


Performance Goal	Performance Goal as % of AIP Award	Actual Performance as a % of Target	Unweighted Performance Outcome (multiplier)	Adjusted Performance Goal as a % of AIP Award
Operating Profit	40%	99.1%	97.3%	38.9% [40%*0.973]
Revenue	25%	93.1%	79.3%	19.8% [25%*0.793]
ARIS	15%	99.1%	82.7%	12.4% [15%*0.827]
Individual Objectives	20%	100%	100%	20% [20%*1.0]
Performance Weighing of AIP Award				91.2%

Assuming no discretionary adjustment by the Personnel and Compensation Committee, the hypothetical executive’s performance adjusted AIP award would be 54.7% of salary (60% *91.2%), or $164,200.

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 operating plan. Individual-specific goals included achieving specified targets for cost reductions, free cash flow, warranty and rework costs and working capital, improving linear shipments, reviewing compliance functions to ensure adequate staffing, training, policies and processes are in place to comply with laws, ensuring effective internal control procedures, successfully implementing and consolidating financial planning systems, succession planning, and successfully implementing the Company’s acquisition strategy and integrating acquired businesses. In 2016, 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 102% of his individual performance objectives, based on his successful implementation of Teledyne’s acquisition and divestiture strategy, successful implementation of Teledyne’s strategy to reduce its cost structure and 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 exceptional management of the finance function during an especially challenging year for certain of our markets, among other factors; Mr. Pichelli achieved 150% of his individual performance objectives, due to superior performance of his new responsibilities as Chief Operating Officer among other factors; Miss Cibik achieved 160% of her individual performance objectives, due to her assumption of additional responsibilities as chief compliance officer and overseeing aspects of the human resources function, among other factors; and Mr. VanWees achieved 175% of his individual performance objectives, due to superior performance and his role in the pending acquisition of e2v, among other factors.

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 2016 AIP awards.

For 2016, aggregate awards for all employees (including the named executives) were paid from a pool equal to 5.3% of operating profit before payment of AIP awards, which is less than the 11% limit initially established by the Personnel and Compensation Committee when it approved the 2016 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 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.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

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 59 of this Proxy Statement.

In 2016, the Personnel and Compensation Committee awarded stock options for an aggregate of 520,310 shares of common stock to Teledyne employees, of which options to purchase 111,000 shares of common stock were awarded to named executives. For purposes of the Summary Compensation Table, stock options are valued at fair value calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and the compensation expense associated with an executive’s stock options as of the end of our 2016 fiscal year is reported in the Option Awards column.

The following table represents actual stock option grants awarded to named executives in 2016 and 2014 (the last year stock option awards were granted):


Participants	2016		2014
Robert Mehrabian		50,000	50,000
Susan L. Main		12,000	12,000
Aldo Pichelli		25,000	20,000
Melanie S. Cibik		12,000	12,000
Jason VanWees		12,000	12,000

The Personnel and Compensation Committee determines the size of awards for named executive officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer) taking into account recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer. The size of the award for the Chief Executive Officer is made at the sole discretion of the Personnel and Compensation Committee. In determining the amount of options awarded to named executives in 2016, the Personnel and Compensation Committee used historical grants as a guideline and considered the market data provided by its independent consultant in making awards.

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED ^| 2017 Proxy Statement 43

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 operating profit, 30% on the achievement of specified levels of revenue and 30% on the achievement of specified levels of return to shareholders. For the 2012-2014 and 2015-2017 cycles, the Russell 2000 Index is the benchmark for the specified return to shareholders component. No awards are earned if the three-year aggregate operating profit 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:


Operating Profit		If actual performance equals or exceeds 120% of the target, the component is weighted by multiplying the percentage by 2 (200%). If actual performance is less than 75% of target, the component is given a weighting of 0%. To the extent actual performance falls between 75% and 120% of target, the multiplying factor is adjusted proportionally (a reduction of three percent for each percentage point that actual performance falls below 100% and an increase of five percent for each percentage point that actual performance is above 100%).
Revenue		If actual performance equals or exceeds 120% of the target, the component is weighted by multiplying the percentage by 2 (200%). If actual performance is less than 67% of target, the component is given a weighting of 0%. To the extent actual performance falls between 67% and 120% of target, the multiplying factor is adjusted proportionally (a reduction of three percent for each percentage point that actual performance falls below 100% and an increase of five percent for each percentage point that actual performance is above 100%).
Return to Shareholders		If actual performance equals or exceeds 120% of the target, the component is weighted by multiplying the percentage by 2 (200%). If actual performance is less than 67% of target, the component is given a weighting of 0%. To the extent actual performance falls between 67% and 120% of target, the multiplying factor is adjusted proportionally.

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. Operating profit 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.

Awards are generally paid to the participants in three annual installments after the end of the performance cycle so long as they remain employed. 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 59 of this Proxy Statement. Awards are generally paid 50% in cash and 50% in stock, subject to availability of shares. The award for the 2012-2014 performance cycle for named executives will be paid 100% in cash, due to the unavailability of shares under the Company’s incentive award plan at the time that award was established.

In February 2015, the Personnel and Compensation Committee established a performance cycle for the three-year period ending on the last day of the 2017 fiscal year. The 2015-2017 performance cycle has the following target performance goals:


Performance Goal		Target
Operating Profit		Aggregate of $981.0 million for three years
Revenue		Aggregate revenue of $7,878.3 million for three years
Return to Shareholders		Return on Teledyne stock equal to the return of the Russell 2000 Index over three years

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

As of the end of the 2016 fiscal year, there were 33 participants in the 2015-2017 performance cycle. All of the named executives in the Summary Compensation Table participate in the 2015-2017 PSP.

44 TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED ^| 2017 Proxy Statement

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

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 2015-2017 cycle of the PSP for named executives expressed as a percentage of 2015 base salary (the year in which the PSP cycle was established):


	PSP Award as a Percent of 2015 Base Salary
Participants	Target	Maximum
Robert Mehrabian	150%	300%
Susan L. Main	125%	250%
Aldo Pichelli	125%	250%
Melanie S. Cibik	125%	250%
Jason VanWees	100%*	200%*

*	In December 2016, the Personnel and Compensation Committee increased the target percentage for Mr. VanWees for the final year (2017) of the 2015-2017 PSP cycle from 100% to 125% with the maximum increasing to 250%.

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 2015-2017 PSP award is included in the Summary Compensation Table as 2015 compensation under the column headed “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation,” even though no shares would be issued under this award until after 2017. Pursuant to SEC guidance, the cash portion of the performance share award for the 2015-2017 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 were met (i.e., 2017—the last year of the performance cycle).

The potential cash and stock payouts under the 2015-2017 performance cycle to the named executive officers are set forth in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table. Actual cash and stock payments under the 2015-2017 performance share program will occur in three equal annual installments, with the first installment being paid in February 2018, provided the named executive officer remains an employee at the time of the applicable payout.

In January 2012, the Personnel and Compensation Committee established a performance cycle for the three-year period ended December 28, 2014. With respect to this 2012-2014 cycle, in January 2015 the Personnel and Compensation Committee determined that 134.6% of the target performance was met. The amount of cash that the named executives received under the 2012-2014 performance cycle in 2016 can be found in footnote 4 to the Summary Compensation Table.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award Program. This program provides grants 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 restrictions are subject to both a time-based and performance-based component. In general, the restricted period for each grant of performance-based restricted stock extends from the date of the grant to the third anniversary of such date, with the restrictions lapsing 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 as applicable to a performance-based restricted stock award, 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 2016 to named executives, which percentages were the same as in 2015: 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.


Participants		Restricted Stock Award as a Percent of Base Salary
Robert Mehrabian		100%
Susan L. Main		45%
Aldo Pichelli		60%
Melanie S. Cibik		30%
Jason VanWees		30%

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED ^| 2017 Proxy Statement 45

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

The targeted performance goal for 2016, as in previous years, is the price of our common stock as compared to the Russell 2000 Index. In order 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 2000 Index for the three-year period. If our 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 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 2000 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 59 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.

We granted performance-based restricted stock to key employees on January 26, 2016, February 17, 2015, January 21, 2014 and January 22, 2013. Restrictions on 100% of the January 21, 2014 award lapsed on January 21, 2017, since the performance of our stock price was 116.7% of that of the Russell 2000 for the three-year period ended December 31, 2016, and the Personnel and Compensation Committee confirmed release of all restrictions on January 24, 2017. Restrictions on 100% of the January 22, 2013 award lapsed on January 26, 2016, since the performance of our stock price was 102.4% of that of the Russell 2000 for the three-year period ended December 31, 2015, and the Personnel and Compensation Committee confirmed release of all restrictions on January 26, 2016. In October 2013, Dr. Mehrabian was issued a one-time additional restricted stock award. During the period from the grant date of this restricted stock award through December 31, 2015, Teledyne’s stock price growth was 97.4% of the growth in the Russell 2000 Index for the same period. As a result, in January 2016, Dr. Mehrabian received 97.4% of this performance-based restricted stock program and forfeited 2.6%.

For purposes of the Summary Compensation Table, performance-based restricted stock awards and RSU 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 26, 2016 restricted stock can be found in the table headed “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” on page 52 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 21, 2014, January 20, 2015 and January 26, 2016, can be found in the table headed “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End” beginning on page 53 of this Proxy Statement.

One-Time CEO RSU Award. On December 20, 2016, the Personnel and Compensation Committee made a special grant of a Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) Award consisting of 16,045 RSUs to Dr. Mehrabian. The RSUs vest in three equal annual installments beginning December 20, 2017, so long as Dr. Mehrabian remains employed with Teledyne on the applicable installment vesting date. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Teledyne Common Stock upon vesting. In deciding to grant the RSU award, the Committee considered general industry and industry peer compensation information provided by its independent compensation consultants, retention strategy, executive performance, including Dr. Mehrabian’s role in identifying, implementing and integrating transformative acquisitions, and other factors. Among the other factors, the Personnel and Compensation Committee considered that Dr. Mehrabian’s target long term compensation trailed industry and peer group medians, and that the Committee aims to set target long term compensation at an amount between the 50th percentile and the 75th percentile.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

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:


Position		Value of Shares Owned
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer		5 x base salary
Corporate Chief Operating Officer, Senior Vice Presidents or Higher		3 x base salary
Segment Presidents or Presidents of Consolidated Business Units (annual revenue > $100 m)		2 x base salary
Corporate Vice Presidents (Corporate and General Managers) and other Executives		1 x base salary

A key executive, who is defined as a recipient of a performance-based restricted stock or restricted stock unit 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.

Each non-employee director is required to own shares of Teledyne common stock equal in market value to three times the amount of the annual retainer. A new director is expected to attain the minimum level of target ownership within a period of five years from the date he or she first becomes a director of the Company. Once achieved, the guideline amount must be maintained for so long as the non-employee director retains his or her seat on the Board.

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 stock units 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 2016, all of our key executives and non-employee directors owned sufficient shares to comply with the guidelines with the exception of two executives and two non-employee directors, all of whom have additional time to achieve compliance pursuant to the terms of the guidelines. All of our named executives owned sufficient shares as of the end of 2016 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 59 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 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 with us during 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.

The Personnel and Compensation Committee has reviewed the potential aggregate costs to a potential acquirer associated with the change in control severance agreements. The Personnel and Compensation Committee considers it unlikely that the employment of all employees that have change in control severance agreements would be terminated following a change in control. The Personnel and Compensation Committee did not adjust the compensation of the employees as a result of the employees entering into or agreeing to modify these change of control severance agreements.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

Employment Agreement

Agreement with Dr. Mehrabian. In 1999, we entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Mehrabian in order to memorialize compensation-related agreements made by Dr. Mehrabian and Allegheny Technologies Incorporated prior to our spin-off from that company. That agreement was amended and restated on April 25, 2001, to update Dr. Mehrabian’s titles and the types and rates of compensation to which he was entitled, on January 24, 2006, primarily to assure compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, on September 1, 2007, to reflect an increase in Dr. Mehrabian’s base salary and, per Dr. Mehrabian’s request, to reflect that his eligibility to receive country club and city club membership and related tax gross-ups was discontinued, and on January 22, 2009, principally to amend the termination and renewal provisions. On October 22, 2013, the employment agreement was further amended and restated principally to update Dr. Mehrabian’s base salary, AIP and restricted stock award targets. Effective September 28, 2015, the employment agreement was amended again to extend the term of the employment agreement through December 31, 2019. The amended and restated employment agreement provides that we shall employ Dr. Mehrabian as our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Under the current agreement, Dr. Mehrabian has an annual base salary of $975,000 for 2017. The agreement provides that Dr. Mehrabian is entitled to participate in our annual incentive bonus plan at a target percentage of 120% of base salary, the restricted stock award program at a percentage of base salary equal to 100% and other executive compensation and benefit programs. The agreement provides Dr. Mehrabian with a supplemental non-qualified pension arrangement, which we will pay to Dr. Mehrabian starting six months following his retirement for a period of ten years. Effective July 31, 2007, the number of years of credited service under this supplemental pension equalization plan reached the maximum number of ten years; as a result, no additional years of service will be credited under this plan.

Perquisites and Other Benefits

All of our named executives receive car allowances. We provide car allowances in cases where the named executive typically travels for business and also for retention of senior executives

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 the purpose of 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 57 of this Proxy Statement. In addition, the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table on page 57 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, in order 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, Miss Cibik and Mr. VanWees 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 takes into account 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 benefit restoration/pension equalization 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 benefit restoration/pension equalization plan was amended to freeze accruals under that plan effective February 28, 2015. The amounts received by the named executives that participate in the pension plans can be found in the Pension Benefits Table beginning on page 55 of this Proxy Statement.

A description of the terms of our pension plans can be found under the heading “Pension Benefits” beginning on page 55 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.

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows a tax deduction for annual compensation paid to a chief executive officer and certain other highly compensated officers in excess of $1 million unless the compensation qualifies as “performance-based” or is otherwise exempt under the law. Our stock incentive plans are devised to permit us to grant equity awards that meet the deductibility requirements of the regulations promulgated under Section 162(m). However, the Personnel and Compensation Committee may determine in any year that it would

48 TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED ^| 2017 Proxy Statement

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

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). In making such determination, the Personnel and Compensation Committee would consider the net cost to us and our ability to effectively administer executive compensation in the long-term interests of shareholders.

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:

•

the executive’s award was predicated upon the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a material financial restatement and a lower payment, award, or vesting would have occurred based upon the restated financial results; or

•

in the Board’s view, the executive officer engaged in fraud or criminal misconduct related to the company or its business.

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 Annual Incentive Plan 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.

Policies Relating to the Timing and Pricing of Stock Option Awards and Stock Awards

Stock Options. Stock options may be granted under our 2014 Incentive Award Plan by the Personnel and Compensation Committee, which is the administrator of the plan. The Personnel and Compensation Committee has delegated authority to our Chief Executive Officer to grant a specified number of options to employees under the 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, 41,500 remained available for grant by our Chief Executive Officer under this delegated authority as of February 15, 2017.

Since April 2012, stock options are granted to employees by the Personnel and Compensation Committee in April of each year at its regularly scheduled committee meeting prior to the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. We typically issue our press release containing financial results for the first quarter shortly following this meeting date. In 2015, no stock options were granted. As a result, in 2016 annual stock option grants were made in January. Grants by our Chief Executive Officer 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 2016, 2,000 options were granted to employees by our Chief Executive Officer under his delegated authority.

Pursuant to the terms of the 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 the Plan 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 the Plan.

Performance-based restricted stock awards are generally granted each year by the Personnel and Compensation Committee at its regularly scheduled meeting in January. For 2016, 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. For Dr. Mehrabian’s special RSU grant made on December 20, 2016, the Committee determined the number of RSUs by dividing the value of the award ($2.0 million) by the closing share price on the date of grant.

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 our common stock on the NYSE on the date of the respective annual meeting.

Teledyne Technologies Incorporated Pension Plan

In connection with the spin-off of Teledyne as an independent company, we adopted the Teledyne Technologies Incorporated Pension Plan which covers substantially all U.S. employees hired prior to January 1, 2004. Effective January 1, 2004, new employee hires do not participate in the Pension Plan. As of the date of this proxy statement, approximately 16% of our active employees participate in the 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 takes into account the participant’s compensation and years of service. The Internal Revenue Code limits the amounts payable to participants under a qualified pension plan.

The normal retirement age under the Pension Plan is generally age 65. Participants that have satisfied the Pension Plan’s eligibility requirements and terminate employment on or after their normal retirement date will be eligible to receive a lifetime monthly income following termination of employment. Generally, the basic retirement benefit is equal to one percent of a participant’s average monthly compensation up to monthly Social Security covered compensation, plus 1.65% of average monthly salary in excess of monthly Social Security covered compensation. This amount is then multiplied by the years of credited service completed by the participant, up to 30 years. In general, a participant that has achieved the age of 55 and has completed five years of service or has a vested accrued benefit is eligible for early retirement benefits under the Pension Plan. Early retirement benefits are reduced by an amount equal to 3 percent for each year that a participant’s early retirement date precedes his or her normal retirement date. Participants in the Pension Plan have the choice of different annuity types. Participants are prohibited from changing the annuity type elected once monthly benefit payments begin. In 2011, we approved a plan amendment to change the rate at which pension benefits will accrue on after March 1, 2012, in order to reduce our pension benefit obligations. The pension benefit formula was changed from a “final average pay” calculation to a “career average pay” approach.

Dr. Mehrabian, Mr. Pichelli, and Miss Cibik are currently eligible for either normal retirement or early retirement. For named executives, a year of credited service is any year in which the named executive has performed 1,000 or more service hours. None of the named executives have been granted extra years of credited service and it is our policy not to grant participants, including named executives, with extra years of credited service.

Pension Benefits (continued)

Pension Equalization/Benefit Restoration Plan

We have also adopted a Pension Equalization/Benefit Restoration Plan, which is designed to restore benefits which 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 the Teledyne Technologies Incorporated Executive Deferred Compensation Plan. The Pension Equalization/Benefit Restoration Plan provides that Teledyne will pay to the participant, without requirement for participant contribution upon his retirement, a retirement benefit equal to the difference between the maximum life annuity to which the participant would be entitled under the qualified Pension Plan upon his or her retirement, ignoring any limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code and including any compensation deferred under the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, and the life annuity which is actually paid to the participant under the qualified Pension Plan after giving effect to the limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code and excluding any compensation deferred under the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan. On December 31, 2014, the Pension Equalization/Benefit Restoration Plan was amended to freeze accruals under the plan effective February 28, 2015.

Employment Agreement with Dr. Mehrabian

The employment agreement with Dr. Mehrabian provides him with a non-qualified supplemental pension arrangement under which we will pay monthly to Dr. Mehrabian starting six months following his retirement and for a period of ten years, as payments supplemental to any accrued pension under our qualified Pension Plan and our Pension Equalization Plan, an amount equal to 50 percent of his base compensation as in effect at retirement. Effective July 31, 2007, the number of years of credited service under this supplemental pension equalization plan reached the maximum number of ten years; as a result, no additional years of service will be credited under this plan.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

The following table sets forth information about the participation of named executives in the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan in 2016. Dr. Mehrabian, Miss Cibik and Mr. VanWees do not participate in the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan.


Name	Executive Contributions in 2016 ($)			Registrant Contributions in 2016 ($)		Aggregate Earnings (Losses) in 2016 ($)		Aggregate Withdrawals/ Distributions ($)		Aggregate Balance at 12/31/16 ($)⁽²⁾
Susan L. Main		$85,865	⁽¹⁾		—		$73,138		—		$	898,970
Aldo Pichelli		—			—		$68,816		—		$	1,450,700

(1)	The entire amount of this contribution is reported as compensation in the Summary Compensation Table above.

(2)	The amounts in this column were reported as compensation to the named executive in the Summary Compensation Table for 2016 or in prior years, except for the amounts that represent earnings or losses under Executive Deferred Compensation Plan.

The Teledyne Executive Deferred Compensation plan is a voluntary, non-tax qualified, unfunded deferred compensation plan available to all employees earning $100,000 or more per year for the purpose of providing deferred compensation, and thus potential tax benefits, to these employees.

A participant in the Deferred Compensation Plan may elect to defer up to 100% of his or her salary and up to 100% of his or her AIP bonus for a calendar year. As participants defer funds into the Deferred Compensation Plan, premiums in the amount of the deferrals are deposited in life insurance contracts. Participants make deemed investment choices in funds underlying life insurance contracts. Upon retirement or termination, a participant receives his or her account balance. A participant can also receive his or her benefits prior to retirement or termination by pre-selecting a distribution date that is no less than three calendar years after the end of the year for which the election is made. A participant may elect to receive an amount equal to 90% of his or her account balance prior to his or her payment eligibility date. A participant may change daily his or her investment designations. Deferral elections with respect to annual salaries are irrevocable, except that a participant may elect to increase, decrease or terminate his or her salary deferral earned during a calendar year by filing a new election on or before December 31 of the preceding calendar year. Deferral elections with respect to AIP bonuses are irrevocable and must be made each calendar year.

Director Compensation

Directors who are our employees do not receive any compensation for their services on our Board or its committees. In 2016, Directors who are not our employees were paid an annual retainer of $110,000 made in cash in two equal installments in January and July. In addition, following each Annual Meeting of Stockholders beginning with the 2016 Annual Meeting, non-employee directors each receive restricted stock units valued at $110,000 (or valued at $55,000 for a person who becomes a director for the first time after the date of the Annual Meeting). The restricted stock units generally vest one year following the date of grant and are settled in shares of common stock on the date of vesting unless a director has elected to defer settlement of the award until his or her separation from Board service. In 2016 the chair of the Audit Committee is paid an annual fee of $15,000 (increasing to $20,000 beginning in 2017), each chair of the Personnel and Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee is paid an annual fee of $10,000 (increasing to $12,500 beginning in 2017) and our lead director is paid an annual fee of $15,000 (increasing to $25,000 beginning in 2017). Our Nominating and Governance Committee reviews director compensation on an annual basis, which review includes benchmarking data provided by the Committee’s independent compensation consultant.

In addition, in 2016, annual equity compensation for non-employee directors was limited to awards having an aggregate grant date value not to exceed $750,000. If our stockholders approve the Amended and Restated 2014 Incentive Award Plan, then our non-employee directors aggregate annual cash and equity compensation will be limited to $750,000 for 2017 and future years.

The following table sets forth a summary of the compensation we paid to our non-employee directors in 2016.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or a Change in Control

Change in Control Severance Agreements

Each of the named executives, as well as six other executives, is a party to a Change in Control Severance Agreement with the Company. The Agreements have a three-year, automatically renewing term. The executive is entitled to severance benefits if (1) there is a change in control of the Company and (2) within three months before or 24 months after the change in control, either we terminate the executive’s employment for reasons other than cause or the executive terminates the employment for good reason. “Severance benefits” for the named executives currently consist of:

•

A cash payment equal to three times (in the case of Dr. Mehrabian) or two times (in the case of the other named executives) the sum of (i) the executive’s highest annual base salary within the year preceding the change in control and (ii) the Annual Incentive Plan bonus target for the year in which the change in control occurs or the average actual bonus payout for the three years immediately preceding the change in control, whichever is higher.

•

A cash payment for the current Annual Incentive Plan bonus cycle based on the fraction of the year worked times the Annual Incentive Plan target objectives at 100% (with payment of the prior year bonus if not yet paid).

•

Payment in cash for unpaid PSP awards, assuming applicable goals are met at 120% of performance targets.

•

Continued equivalent health and welfare (e.g., medical, dental, vision, life insurance and disability) benefits at our expense for a period of up to 36 months (24 months in some agreements) after termination (with the executive bearing any portion of the cost the executive bore prior to the change in control); provided, however, such benefits would be discontinued to the extent the executive receives similar benefits from a subsequent employer.

•

Removal of restrictions on performance-based restricted stock issued under our restricted stock award programs.

•

Full vesting under the Company’s pension plans (within legal parameters) such that the executive shall be entitled to receive the full accrued benefit under all such plans in effect as of the date of the change in control, without any actuarial reduction for early payment.

•

Up to $25,000 ($15,000 in some agreements) reimbursement for actual professional outplacement services.

•

Immediate vesting of all stock options, with options being exercisable for the full remainder of the term.

•

In the event amounts under the agreements constitute an “excess parachute” payment as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, the executive will receive the better of, on an after-tax basis, (a) the unreduced excess parachute payment with no tax gross up payment, or (b) a parachute payment reduced to a level below which an excise tax is imposed.

For the purposes of the Change in Control Severance Agreement, a “change in control” will generally be deemed to occur if (1) the Company acquires actual knowledge that any person or group of persons acting together has acquired the beneficial ownership of securities of the Company entitling such person to 20% or more of the voting power of the Company, (2) a tender offer to acquire 20% or more of the voting power of the Company is completed, (3) a successful third party proxy solicitation is made relating to the election or removal of 50% or more of the members of the Board or any class of the Board, or (4) a merger, consolidation, share exchange, division or sale or other disposition of assets of the Company occurs as a result of which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction do not hold, immediately following such transaction, a majority of the voting power of the surviving, acquiring or resulting corporation.

The paragraphs below explain the impact on our executive compensation programs for named executives of various change in control and termination scenarios other than a termination that would trigger the benefits under the Change in Control Severance Agreements.

Annual Incentive Plan

The following is a summary of the terms of awards under our Annual Incentive Plan related to the treatment of awards upon termination of employment:

If a participant’s employment is terminated before the end of a plan year for reason of death, disability, or normal or early retirement, the award will be calculated at the end of the plan year, based on their actual salary earned during the plan year, provided they were with the Company for at least six months during the plan year.

TELEDYNE TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED ^| 2017 Proxy Statement 59

Potential Payments Upon Termination or a Change in Control (continued)

If a participant’s employment is terminated during the plan year for any other reason, no award will be paid for the plan year.

Stock Options

The following table summarizes the terms of awards under our incentive plans related to the treatment of stock options upon termination of employment or upon a change in control:


Change in Control or Termination Event	Treatment of Unvested Awards	Time to Exercise Vested Awards
Change in Control	Awards Fully Vest*	Remainder of Term
Death	Awards Fully Vest	12 Months
Disability	Continued Vesting	Remainder of Term
Retirement	Forfeiture	Remainder of Term
Other	Forfeiture	30 Days

*	Unless options are assumed or replaced by the successor company.

Performance Share Program

In the event of a change in control not followed by termination, or a participant terminates employment because of retirement, his or her performance share plan participation will be pro-rated based on the number of full months of employment during the cycle, divided by 36. Awards for retired participants are paid at the same time as awards are paid to active participants. On a change in control not followed by termination, awards are paid thirty days following the change in control event. If a participant terminates employment for any other reason, the current cycle’s incentive and any prior cycle’s incentive will be forfeited unless deemed otherwise by the Personnel and Compensation Committee.

Restricted Stock Award Program

During the restricted period, performance-based restricted stock will be forfeited upon a participant’s termination of employment. However, if the participant dies, becomes disabled or retires prior to the expiration of the applicable performance cycle, the amount of the participant’s restricted stock that is not subject to forfeiture at the end of the performance cycle will be pro-rated for the portion of the performance cycle completed by the participant prior to his death, disability or retirement and that amount will become vested at the end of the performance cycle. In the event of a change in control, all restrictions applicable to the restricted stock award will terminate fully.

For the restricted stock unit award granted to Dr. Mehrabian on December 20, 2016, the amount of the restricted stock unit award subject to forfeiture will become vested in full upon a change in control or upon the executive’s death or disability.

Potential Termination Payments

The following table sets forth the potential payments upon a change in control and termination following a change of control, retirement, resignation or termination of the named executives as of January 1, 2017, the last business day of our 2016 fiscal year, assuming the change in control or termination event had taken place on January 1, 2017. The amounts shown include amounts earned through January 1, 2017, other than pension benefits, and are estimates of the amounts which would be paid out to the executives upon their termination following a termination event. The actual amounts to be paid out can only be determined at the time of such executive’s separation from the Company, and such amounts may be subject to re-negotiation at the time of actual termination. Estimated monthly pension benefits for named executives upon retirement or termination following a change in control are described at the end of this section. Any amounts paid following termination or a change in control may be delayed for up to six months to comply with provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
