If you do not transmit instructions, 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 If you hold your shares in a broker, bank or other nominee account, you are a "beneficial owner" of TDY Common Stock. In order to vote your shares, you must give voting instructions to your bank, broker or other intermediary who is the "nominee holder" of your shares. The Company asks brokers, banks and other nominee holders to obtain voting instructions from the beneficial owners of shares that are registered in the nominee's name. Proxies that are transmitted by nominee holders on behalf of beneficial owners will count toward a quorum and, except as otherwise provided below, will be voted as instructed by the nominee holder. CONFIDENTIAL VOTING POLICY The Company maintains a policy of keeping stockholder votes confidential. 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 the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company and by the laws of the State of Delaware. Except for 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 the Company's business through discussions with the senior management and other officers and managers of the Company and its subsidiaries, by reviewing analyses and reports sent to them, and by participating in Board and committee meetings. In 2000, the Board of Directors held eight meetings and acted by unanimous written consent on three occasions. During 2000, all directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of Board and Board committee meetings for which they were responsible, except Diane C. Creel who attended 73% of the aggregate number of such meetings. NUMBER OF DIRECTORS The Board of Directors determines the number of directors. The Board currently consists of eight 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 3 7 position in any class and elect a director to hold the newly created position until the term of the class expires. SPIN-OFF REQUIREMENTS In connection with our spin-off from ATI, we agreed (and our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide) that until our Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2002, at least a majority of our Board of Directors must also be directors of ATI. Six of our eight directors are directors of ATI. Of our three nominees, only Paul S. Brentlinger is on ATI's board. Robert Mehrabian and Michael T. Smith are not on ATI's board. 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 2001 Annual Meeting. This nomination is in accordance with our Amended and Restated Bylaws and the Separation and Distribution Agreement that we entered into with ATI in connection with the spin-off. The three-year term of the class of directors nominated this year will expire at the 2004 Annual Meeting. On June 1, 2000, however, the Company adopted a retirement policy for directors. This policy generally requires directors to retire at the Annual Meeting following their 72nd birthday, with certain directors being subject to a "grandfather" provision. As a result of this policy, Mr. Brentlinger, who is currently up for re-election for a term expiring at the 2004 Annual Meeting, if elected, will step down at the 2002 Annual Meeting. The three individuals who receive the highest number of votes cast will be elected. Broker non-votes are not counted as votes cast. If you sign and return your proxy card, or vote by telephone or Internet, the individuals named as proxies will vote your shares for the election of the three named nominees, unless you provide other instructions. 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 or the instructions provided during your telephone or Internet voting. 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 of Directors has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve. 4 8 Background information about the nominees and continuing directors follows.

Queenan, Jr., Chair Diane C. Creel C. Fred Fetterolf Michael T. Smith The Personnel and Compensation Committee held five meetings in 2000 and acted by unanimous written consent on one occasion. The Personnel and Compensation Committee's principal responsibilities include: - Making recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning general executive management organizational matters. - Making recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning compensation and benefits for employees who are also our directors, consult with our Chief Executive Officer on compensation and benefit matters relating to other executive officers who are required to file reports under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and make recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning compensation policies and procedures relating to our executive officers. - Making recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning policy matters relating to employee benefits and employee benefit plans. - Administering our formal incentive compensation plans. DIRECTOR COMPENSATION Directors who are not our employees are paid an annual retainer fee of $24,000. Directors are also paid $1,200 for each Board meeting and $1,000 for each committee meeting attended. Each non-employee chair of a committee is paid an annual fee of $2,500. Directors who are our employees do not receive any compensation for their services on our Board or its committees. The non-employee directors also participate in the Teledyne Technologies Incorporated 1999 Non-Employee Director Stock Compensation Plan, as amended (the "Director Stock Plan"). The purpose of the Director Stock Plan is to provide non-employee directors with an increased personal interest in our performance. Under the Director Stock Plan, options to purchase 2,000 shares of our Common Stock were granted to then non-employee directors on the date of our spin-off from ATI and at the conclusion of our 2000 Annual Meeting. Under the Director Stock Plan, from and after the 2001 Annual Meeting, options to purchase 4,000 shares of our Common Stock will be granted at the conclusion of each Annual Meeting of Stockholders. If a non-employee director first becomes a director on a date other than an Annual Meeting date, an option covering 2,000 shares of our Common Stock will be granted to such non-employee director on his or her first date of Board service. The purchase price of our Common Stock covered by these options is the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date the option is granted. 9 13 The Director Stock Plan provides that each non-employee director will receive at least 25% of the annual retainer fee in the form of our Common Stock and/or options to acquire our Common Stock. Each director may elect a greater percentage (in 25% increments). A director may also elect to defer 25%, 50% or 75% of the annual retainer under our Executive Deferred Compensation Plan. Options granted under this part of the Director Stock Plan are intended to provide each electing director with options having an exercise value on the date of grant equal to the foregone fees; that is, the difference between the exercise price and the market price of the underlying shares of Common Stock on the date of grant is intended to be equal to the foregone fees. Effective in 2001, under the Director Stock Plan, directors may elect to have all of their meeting fees paid in all cash, all stock or all options. ITEM 2 ON PROXY CARD -- RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS Ernst & Young LLP ("Ernst & Young") has served as independent auditors for the Company since the November 29, 1999 spin-off. Ernst & Young had served as independent auditors for ATI since August 15, 1996, when Allegheny Ludlum Corporation combined with Teledyne, Inc. Prior to the combination, it had served as independent auditors of Allegheny Ludlum Corporation since 1980. The Board of Directors believes that Ernst & Young is knowledgeable about the Company's operations and accounting practices and is well qualified to act in the capacity of independent auditors. The proposal to ratify the selection of Ernst & Young 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 ratify the selection of Ernst & Young as independent auditors for 2001. If you specifically abstain from voting on the proposal, your shares will, in effect, be voted against the proposal. Broker non-votes 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 Ernst & Young, the Board will reconsider the appointment of independent auditors. It is expected that representatives of Ernst & Young will be present at the meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement and respond to appropriate questions. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS. AUDIT AND ALL OTHER FEES Ernst & Young's fees for preparing our 2000 annual audit (including quarterly reviews) were $416,000. In 2000, Ernst & Young did not render services to the Company with respect to financial information systems design and implementation. Fees for audited-related services that Ernst & Young provided for us during 2000, which included services in respect of our underwritten public offering, totaled $357,000. Fees for all other nonaudit services totaled $402,000. Our Audit Committee has considered 10 14 whether such services that Ernst & Young provides are compatible with maintaining Ernst & Young's independence as auditors.

It is not incorporated by reference into any of the Company's registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933.

Excludes Mr. Blauwiekel who is included as a named executive officer, but whose employment terminated on February 6, 2001. 13 17 2000 REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION This report on executive compensation is furnished by the Personnel and Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated ("TDY" or the "Company"). This report acknowledges the resignation of Nickolas L. Blauwiekel as Vice President, Human Resources of TDY, effective February 6, 2001. This report is not incorporated by reference into any of the Company's registration statements filed under the Securities Act of 1933. Effective November 29, 1999, the Company was spun-off from Allegheny Teledyne Incorporated, now known as Allegheny Technologies Incorporated ("ATI"). In connection with the spin-off, TDY's executive compensation program was established, having its genesis in the program established by ATI. Pursuant to the Employee Benefits Agreement dated November 29, 1999, between the Company and ATI executed in connection with the spin-off (the "Employee Benefits Agreement"), the Company was contractually required to take various actions with respect to certain executive benefit plans and programs. Since the spin-off, the Committee has approved various modifications to the Company's executive compensation program to enable the Company to be more competitive and aligned with high technology businesses and, thus, better assure attraction and retention of quality management. The Committee did not engage any outside executive compensation consultant with respect to TDY's current executive compensation program. In 2000, however, Watson Wyatt & Company and Hewitt Associates LLC each provided TDY with market executive pay and other data. The Committee also considered publicly available market and other data on executive compensation matters. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY The Committee has determined that total compensation for TDY executives would be comprised of three general characteristics: - It will be competitive in the aggregate, using a set of business and labor market competitors (by industry segment, as appropriate) to gauge the competitive market place. - It will be performance oriented, with a substantial portion of the total compensation tied to internal and external measures of Company performance. - It will promote long-term careers at TDY. Consistent with these characteristics, the Committee adopted the following policy for base salaries, short-term incentives and long-term incentives. BASE SALARY. Base salary for all management positions will be at the unit's industry/ market median for comparable positions unless there are sound reasons, such as competitive factors, for varying significantly from industry medians. "Judgment" will always be the guiding factor in base salary determinations, as well as any other compensation issue. No system should be so rigid that it prevents the use of judgment. SHORT-TERM INCENTIVES. Annual Incentive Plan ("AIP") awards will allow for competitive cash compensation, based on the achievement of predefined performance measures, with up to 200 percent of the target award paid in the case of significant over-achievement. The majority of the award will be based on financial performance achievement, with a smaller portion tied to the achievement of pre-established individual goals. For 2000, 40 percent of the AIP award was tied to the achievement of 14 18 predetermined levels of operating profit, 25 percent to the achievement of predetermined levels of revenue, 15 percent to the achievement of predetermined levels of managed working capital and 20 percent to the achievement of specific individual performance objectives. A discretionary adjustment of plus or minus 20 percent is allowed, though aggregate upward adjustments will not exceed 5 percent. All awards are paid from a pool equal to 7.5 percent of operating profit, subject to modification by the Committee. No AIP bonus will be earned unless operating profit is positive, after accruing for bonus payments, and operating profit is at least 75 percent of the operating plan, subject in each case to modification by the Committee. LONG-TERM INCENTIVES. Long-term incentives consist of three components: Stock options are to be awarded annually to all key employees who are nominated by management to receive an award and whose award is approved by the Committee. In practice, the amount of the award generally depends on the executive's salary grade and position. A three-year Performance Share Program ("PSP") opportunity, with a new "cycle" beginning every three years, is available to selected officers and key executives. The PSP provides grants of performance share units, which key Company officers and executives may earn if specified performance objectives are met over a three-year period. Forty percent of the PSP award is based on the achievement of specified levels of operating profit, 30 percent on the achievement of specified levels of revenue and 30 percent on the achievement of specified levels of return to shareholders. For the three-year aggregate return to shareholders performance measure, the S&P SmallCap 600 Index (in which TDY is included) is the benchmark. No awards are made if the three-year aggregate operating profit is less than 75 percent of target. A maximum of 200 percent for each component can be earned if 120 percent of the target is achieved. Awards are generally paid to the participants in three annual installments after the conclusion of the performance cycle so long as they remain employed by TDY (with exceptions for retirement, disability and death). If the units are earned, two-thirds will be paid in TDY Common Stock and one-third will be paid in cash. A Restricted Stock Award Program ("RSAP") opportunity has also been established for selected officers and key executives, which was approved and adopted by the Committee in 2000. The RSAP provides grants of "restricted stock" each calendar year to selected officers and key executives at an aggregate fair market value equal to 30 percent of each recipient's annual base salary as of the date of the grant, unless otherwise determined by the Committee. The restrictions are subject to both a time-based and performance-based component. In general, the "restricted period" for each grant of 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, if the Company fails to meet certain minimum performance goals for a multi-year performance cycle (typically three years) established by the Committee as applicable to a restricted stock award, then all of the restricted stock is forfeited. If the Company achieves the minimum established performance goals, but fails to attain an aggregate level of 100 percent of the targeted performance goals, then a portion of the restricted stock would be forfeited. A participant cannot transfer the restricted stock during the restricted period. In addition, during the restricted period, restricted stock will be forfeited upon a participant's termination of employment for any reason. However, if the participant dies, becomes disabled or retires prior to the expiration of the applicable performance cycle, the amount 15 19 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. Upon expiration of the restricted period without a forfeiture, the Company will deliver to the recipient of restricted stock one or more stock certificates for the appropriate number of shares of Company common stock, as determined by the Committee based on achievement of the specified performance objectives. The RSAP replaces, and is the successor to, the Stock Acquisition and Retention Program established by ATI (the "ATI SARP"), which the Company assumed in part in connection with the spin-off. 2000 COMPENSATION SHORT-TERM INCENTIVES ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN. In 2000, awards under the AIP ranged from zero to 140 percent of the target incentives because the targets and levels of achievement varied by business unit. For 2000, 40 percent of the award was tied to the achievement of predetermined levels of operating profit, 25 percent to the achievement of predetermined levels of revenue, 15 percent to the achievement of predetermined levels of managed working capital and 20 percent to the achievement of specific individual performance objectives. The bonus column of the Summary Compensation Table contains the award for 2000 for each of the named executive officers. LONG-TERM INCENTIVES STOCK OPTIONS. The Company made one annual award of stock options at the beginning of 2000 under the Teledyne Technologies Incorporated 1999 Incentive Plan, as amended (the "1999 Incentive Plan"). In addition, during 2000, stock options were granted to Nickolas L. Blauwiekel (20,000 shares) and Robert J. Naglieri (20,000 shares) when they first joined TDY and were granted to selected other key employees, primarily as part of recruitment and retention initiatives. PERFORMANCE SHARE PROGRAM. The Company's first three-year "cycle" under the PSP commenced January 1, 2000. As described above, the PSP award is based on achievement of specified levels of operating profit, revenue, and return to shareholders during the three-year period. Of the named executive officers in the Summary Compensation Table, only Dr. Mehrabian, Mr. Naglieri, Mr. Kuelbs, and Mr. Schnittjer are participating in the PSP. In 2000, the Company made the first installment payment of awards under the shortened ATI Performance Share Program assumed in the spin-off by the Company under the Employee Benefits Agreement. An aggregate of 41,711 shares was issued to 19 participants. Of the named executive officers in the Summary Compensation Table, only Dr. Mehrabian (7,646 shares) and Mr. Schnittjer (1,807 shares) participated in this program. RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD PROGRAM. The Company granted restricted stock pursuant to the RSAP to selected officers and key executives. Each selected officer and key executive received a grant of restricted stock with an aggregate fair market value equal to 30 percent of his or her annual base salary as of the date of the grant. The performance period for such restricted stock grants ends December 31, 2002. In order for the recipients of grants to retain the restricted stock, the Company must achieve specified levels of operating 16 20 profit, revenue, and return to shareholders. Under this program, an aggregate of 50,741 shares of restricted stock is currently issued and outstanding (excluding 3,576 shares forfeited by Mr. Blauwiekel as a result of the termination of his employment). Of the named executive officers in the Summary Compensation Table, only Dr. Mehrabian (9,619 restricted shares), Mr. Kuelbs (5,306 restricted shares), and Mr. Schnittjer (2,980 restricted shares) are participating in the RSAP with respect to the 2000 grant. ATI SARP. As a result of the spin-off, under the Employee Benefits Agreement, seven TDY executives who had purchased or designated shares of ATI stock under the ATI SARP received distributions of common stock of TDY and Water Pik Technologies, Inc. ("Water Pik") on the purchased or designated ATI shares. The shares that they received in the spin-off as well as the original shares continue to be held as collateral for loans for purchased shares, all of which were retained by ATI, until the loans are fully paid. Restricted shares issued under the ATI SARP were converted into shares of TDY Common Stock and continue to bear the restrictions set forth in the original ATI SARP. In 2000, the Committee took action to permit TDY executives who participated in the ATI SARP to use ATI and Water Pik shares that they had purchased under the ATI SARP to pay down loans for purchased shares, whether or not such shares had been held for five years as otherwise required by the ATI SARP. The Committee also released the transfer restrictions on ATI and Water Pik shares that TDY participants held as designated stock under the ATI SARP. Shares of TDY Common Stock that were purchased or designated under the ATI SARP continue to be held in accordance with the ATI SARP. CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENTS After the spin-off, the Committee recommended and the Board of Directors approved Change in Control Severance Agreements for the named executive officers (other than Mr. Naglieri) and selected other key executives. Mr. Naglieri's Agreement was approved when he joined the Company in October 2000. In entering into the Agreements, the Committee desired to assure that TDY will 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 the employ of the Company. The Committee believes that, should the possibility of a change in control arise, it imperative that TDY be able to receive and rely upon its executives' advice, if requested, as to the best interests of the Company and its 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 Committee also considered arrangements offered to similarly situated executives of comparable companies. 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 the Company terminates the executive's employment for reasons other than cause or the executive terminates the employment for good reason. "Severance benefits" consist of: - A cash payment equal to three times (in the case of Dr. Mehrabian and Messrs. Kuelbs and Naglieri and three other executives) or two times (in the case of Mr. Schnittjer and seven other executives) the sum of (i) the executive's highest annual base salary within the year preceding the change in control and (ii) the AIP bonus target for the year in which the change in control occurs or the year immediately preceding the change in control, whichever is higher. 17 21 - A cash payment for the current AIP bonus based on the fraction of the year worked times the AIP target objectives at 120 percent (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 percent of performance. - Continued equivalent health and welfare (e.g., medical, dental, vision, life insurance and disability) benefits at TDY's expense for a period of 36 months 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. - Immediate vesting of all stock options, with options being exercisable for the full remaining term. - Removal of restrictions on restricted stock issued by the Company under any Stock Acquisition and Retention Program or any replacement plans (i.e. the Restricted Stock Award Program). - Full vesting under the Company's pension plans (within legal parameters). - Up to $25,000 reimbursement for actual professional outplacement services. COMPENSATION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT. The Company and Robert Mehrabian, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, are parties to an Employment Agreement dated as of December 21, 1999 (the "Employment Agreement"), which was recommended and approved by the Committee. The Employment Agreement provides that the Company shall employ him as the President and Chief Executive Officer and supplements his Change in Control Severance Agreement of the same date. The Employment Agreement terminates on December 31, 2001, but will automatically be extended annually unless either party gives the other written notice prior to October 31 of such term that it will not be extended. BASE SALARY AND BONUS. The Committee determined the 2000 compensation of Dr. Mehrabian in accordance with the general compensation philosophy described above. In setting Dr. Mehrabian's base salary at $565,000 for fiscal year 2000, the Committee considered base salaries of comparably situated executives, finding that Dr. Mehrabian's base salary was within the median range. Dr. Mehrabian received an award of $465,127 under the Annual Incentive Plan for 2000. In determining the AIP award to Dr. Mehrabian, the Committee acknowledged and commended the efforts and leadership of Dr. Mehrabian. The Committee recognized Dr. Mehrabian's leadership and perseverance in the timely and successful completion of the Company's spin-off required public offering. The Committee recognized Dr. Mehrabian's initiative and drive in developing the Company's vision and strategic growth plan, including the actions undertaken in the optoelectronics area to meet that plan, as well as the divestiture of the Cast Parts business. The Committee also reviewed the AIP award paid to Dr. Mehrabian by ATI and TDY in 1999 and 2000, respectively. In arriving at the award amount, the Committee considered Dr. Mehrabian's performance in 18 22 light of the Company's performance against targeted levels of operating profit, revenue and management working capital. The Committee noted that: - the Company's operating profit was 76.98 percent of plan. - the Company's revenue was 96.61 percent of plan; - the Company's managed working capital was 94.56 percent of plan; and - Dr. Mehrabian had achieved 120 percent of his individual goals. STOCK OPTIONS. On January 25, 2000, the Committee awarded Dr. Mehrabian options to purchase 60,000 shares of the Company's common stock. As with other grants under the 1999 Incentive Plan on that date, Dr. Mehrabian's options have a per share exercise price of $9.67, are exercisable in one-third increments commencing on January 25, 2001, and have a 10-year term. The Committee authorized this grant to Dr. Mehrabian as a means of appropriately rewarding him in light of the Company's performance and his efforts and leadership of the Company. PERFORMANCE SHARE PROGRAM. As described above, Dr. Mehrabian participated in the PSP during fiscal year 2000. Compensation to be awarded under this plan will be determined based on Company performance through December 31, 2002, which is the end of the three-year performance period established under the PSP. RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD PROGRAM. As described above, Dr. Mehrabian participated in the RSAP during fiscal year 2000. The Company granted Dr. Mehrabian 9,619 shares of restricted common stock, which was equivalent to 30 percent of his annual base salary as of the date of the grant. The number of shares of common stock that Dr. Mehrabian will ultimately receive under this plan will be determined based on Company performance through December 31, 2002, which is the end of the three-year performance period for his restricted stock award established by the Committee. PENSION ARRANGEMENTS. The Employment Agreement provides Dr. Mehrabian with a non-qualified pension arrangement, continuing his agreement with ATI. The Company has agreed to pay Dr. Mehrabian following his retirement, as payments supplemental to any accrued pension under the Company's qualified pension plan, an annual amount equal to 50 percent of his base compensation as in effect at retirement. The number of years for which such annual amount shall be paid will be equal to the number of years of his service to TDY (including service to ATI), but not more than 10 years. 19 23 DEDUCTIBILITY OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code imposes limits on tax deductions for annual compensation paid to a chief executive officer and other highly compensated officers unless the compensation qualifies as "performance-based" or is otherwise exempt under the law. The 1999 Incentive Plan is intended to meet the deductibility requirements of the regulations promulgated under Section 162(m). However, the Committee may determine in any year that it would be in the best interests of the Company for awards to be paid under the 1999 Incentive Plan that would not satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m).

The assumed "potential realizable values" are mathematically derived from certain prescribed rates of stock price appreciation. The actual value of these option grants depends on the future performance of TDY Common Stock and overall stock market condition. There is no assurance that the values reflected in this table will be realized. 2. Due to Mr. Blauwiekel's resignation in February 2001, 6,667 of the shares underlying his options could be exercised though March 8, 2001. The remainder of his options expired on February 6, 2001. Mr. Blauwiekel exercised his options with respect to all 6,667 shares on February 20, 2001. 23 27 AGGREGATE OPTION EXERCISES IN LAST FISCAL YEAR AND FISCAL YEAR END OPTION VALUES As shown in the table below, no options were exercised by the named executive officers during 2000.

------------------------- 1. Includes options to purchase shares of TDY Common Stock converted from options to purchase ATI common stock in connection with the spin-off under the Employee Benefits Agreement, which included options granted to Dr. Mehrabian under ATI's Non-Employee Director Stock Compensation Plan with respect to his service as a non-employee director of ATI. 2. The "value of unexercised in-the-money options" is calculated by subtracting the exercise price per share from $22 15/32, which was the average of the high and low sale prices of a share of TDY Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on December 29, 2000. The "*" denotes that the relevant options were "out-of-the-money" at December 29, 2000, meaning the exercise price per share was greater than $22 15/32. ATI PERFORMANCE SHARE PROGRAM AWARDS The following table sets forth information about awards for the three-year award period made in 1998 under the ATI Performance Share Program, which, as a result of the spin-off, and in accordance with the Employee Benefits Agreement, was terminated and the award period shortened to cover the two-year period of January 1, 1998 through December 31, 1999. The amounts included in the Estimated Future Payouts columns represent the potential payment of TDY Common Stock and cash to the named executive officers depending on whether they remain employed by TDY (with exceptions for retirement, death and disability). The 2000 and 2001 payouts have been made.

Two-thirds of the award is to be paid in TDY Common Stock, with the number of shares based on a price of $9.67. One-third of the award is to be paid in cash. 24 28 TDY PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN AWARDS The following table sets forth estimated future payouts in the 2003 to 2005 payout period of TDY Common Stock and cash to the named executive officers (other than Mr. Blauwiekel) under the Performance Share Plan. The amounts included in the Estimated Future Payout columns represent the potential payments of Common Stock and cash depending on the level of achievement (i.e., threshold, target or maximum) of the performance goals for the three-year (2000 - 2002) award period. The named executive officers will not receive any payment of Common Stock or cash if TDY and/or the designated business unit do not achieve the threshold level of performance objectives during the award period. Due to Mr. Blauwiekel's resignation, Mr. Blauwiekel will not receive any payments under this plan.

------------------------- * The amount of the award is based on the base salary at the beginning of the award period. Two-thirds award is to be paid in TDY Common Stock, with the number of shares based on the average of the high and low sale prices of a share of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date the award was approved (July 25, 2000). One-third of the award is paid in cash. Mr. Naglieri's amounts have been adjusted to reflect his joining the Company in October 2000, partway into the award period. PENSION PLAN In connection with the spin-off, we adopted the Teledyne Technologies Incorporated Pension Plan on terms substantially similar to the parts of the ATI Pension Plan applicable to all of our employees, both active and inactive at our operations which perform government contract work and for our active employees at our operations which do not perform government contract work. The annual benefits payable under these parts of the pension plans 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 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. 25 29 The following table illustrates the approximate annual pension that may become payable to a Teledyne Technologies employee in the higher salary classifications under our regular and supplemental pension plans. ESTIMATED ANNUAL PENSIONS(1)
AVERAGE ANNUAL PAY IN HIGHEST YEARS OF SERVICE(3) 60 MONTHS OF LAST 120 -------------------------------- MONTHS OF EMPLOYMENT(2) 15 20 30 -------------------------------------- -------- -------- -------- $ 200,000................... $ 46,078 $ 61,437 $ 92,156 300,000................... 70,828 94,437 141,656 400,000................... 95,578 127,437 191,156 500,000................... 120,328 160,437 240,656 600,000................... 145,078 193,437 290,156 700,000................... 169,828 226,437 339,656 800,000................... 194,578 259,437 389,156 1,000,000................... 244,078 325,437 488,156 1,200,000................... 293,578 391,437 587,156 1,400,000................... 343,078 457,437 686,156 1,600,000................... 392,578 523,437 785,156 1,800,000................... 442,078 589,437 884,156
------------------------- 1. The estimated amounts assume retirement at age 65 (normal retirement age) with a straight-life annuity without reduction for a survivor annuity or for optional benefits. They are not subject to reduction for Social Security benefits. 2. For the period through December 31, 1994, for TDY employees who are in the higher salary classifications, compensation for the purposes of the plan was limited to an individual's base salary. Thereafter, plan compensation for those employees includes base salary and up to five annual incentive payments received on and after January 1, 1995. 3. The maximum amount of service credited under the pension provisions applicable to our employees is 30 years of credited service, with some exceptions. EMPLOYMENT/CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENTS The Company has an Employment Agreement with Dr. Mehrabian, which provides that the Company shall employ him as the President and Chief Executive Officer. The agreement terminates on December 31, 2001, but will be extended annually unless either party gives the other written notice prior to October 31 of each year of such term that it will not be extended. Dr. Mehrabian has a base salary of $565,000 for 2001. The agreement provides that Dr. Mehrabian is entitled to participate in Teledyne Technologies' annual incentive bonus plan and other executive compensation and benefit programs. The agreement provides Dr. Mehrabian with a non-qualified pension arrangement, under which the Company will pay Dr. Mehrabian following his retirement, as payments supplemental to any accrued pension under our qualified pension plan, an amount equal to 50 percent of his base compensation as in effect at retirement. The number of years for which such annual amount shall be paid will be equal to the number of years of his service to TDY (including service to ATI), but not more than 10 years. 26 30 The Company has Change in Control Severance Agreements with Dr. Mehrabian, Messrs. Naglieri, Kuelbs and Schnittjer and ten other current key employees. The agreements have a three-year, automatically renewing term. Under the agreements, 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 the Company terminates the executive's employment for reasons other than for cause or the executive terminates the employment for good reason. "Severance benefits" consist of: - A cash payment equal to three times (in the case of Dr. Mehrabian, Messrs. Naglieri and Kuelbs and three other executives) or two times (in the case of Mr. Schnittjer and seven other 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 ("AIP") bonus target for the year in which the change in control occurs or the year immediately preceding the change in control, whichever is higher. - A cash payment for the current AIP bonus based on the fraction of the year worked times the AIP target objectives at 120 percent (with payment of the prior year bonus if not yet paid). - Payment in cash for unpaid Performance Share Plan awards, assuming applicable goals are met at 120 percent of performance. - Continued equivalent health and welfare (e.g., medical, dental, vision, life insurance and disability) benefits at TDY's expense for a period of 36 months 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. - Immediate vesting of all stock options, with options being exercisable for the full remaining term. - Removal of restrictions on restricted stock issued by the Company under any Stock Acquisition and Retention Program or any replacement plans (i.e. the Restricted Stock Award Program). - Full vesting under the Company's pension plans (within legal parameters). - Up to $25,000 reimbursement for actual professional outplacement services. In connection with Mr. Blauwiekel's resignation in February 2001, the Company agreed to pay him a cash severance equal to five months of Mr. Blauwiekel's salary, an amount representing his annual incentive payment for 2000, and an additional lump sum cash payment of $25,000 and to accelerate the vesting of a portion of his stock options along with granting him other customary severance benefits. In exchange, Mr. Blauwiekel agreed to waive and release the Company from any and all claims against TDY including any claims under the Federal Age Discrimination and Employment Act of 1967. 27 31 CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS SPIN-OFF AGREEMENTS We entered into several agreements with ATI in connection with the spin-off under which we have continuing obligations, some of which are described below and elsewhere in this Proxy Statement. These agreements are being described because six of our eight directors are also directors of ATI. SEPARATION AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT. The Separation and Distribution Agreement provided for the principal corporate transactions required to effect the separation of our businesses from ATI, the spin-off and certain other matters governing the relationship among us following the spin-off. The agreement required that we initiate a public offering of our Common Stock within eight months following the spin-off and complete the public offering within one year following the spin-off. While we successfully and timely completed our required public offering in the third quarter of 2000, we must continue to satisfy the requirements, including using the approximately $84.0 million in net proceeds in the manner contemplated by the tax-ruling issued by the Internal Revenue Service. In addition, the Separation and Distribution Agreement provides that until the third Annual Meeting of our stockholders held following the spin-off, at least a majority of our directors will also be members of the Board of Directors of ATI. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS AGREEMENT. The Employee Benefit Agreement contains various agreements between ATI and us concerning employees, pension and employee benefit plans and other compensation arrangements for current and former employees of our businesses. Under the terms of the ATI Stock Acquisition and Retention Program, Dr. Robert Mehrabian had delivered promissory notes, payable to ATI, as payment for the purchase price of ATI common stock purchased under the program. Under the Employee Benefits Agreement, notwithstanding the conversion of the restricted ATI shares into restricted TDY Common Stock, the loans evidenced by the promissory notes remain payable to ATI. As of December 31, 2000, Dr. Mehrabian was indebted to ATI under this program in the amount of $412,200.29. TAX SHARING AND INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT. The Tax Sharing and Indemnification Agreement allocates certain federal, state, local and foreign tax responsibilities and liabilities between ATI and us. This agreement provides that we will indemnify ATI and its directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives for any taxes imposed on, or other amounts paid by, them, or ATI's stockholders, if we take actions or fail to take actions that result in the spin-off not qualifying as a tax-free distribution. INTERIM SERVICES AGREEMENT. Under the Interim Services Agreement, ATI provided us with transitional administration and support services during 2000. The Interim Services Agreement provides that we pay ATI a fee approximating ATI's cost for such services plus 10 percent. Except for some minor assistance, the provision of services by ATI under this agreement is essentially done. TRADEMARK LICENSE AGREEMENT. Pursuant to the Trademark License Agreement, an affiliate of ATI granted us an exclusive license to use the "Teledyne" name and related logos, symbols and marks in connection with our operations. The annual fee is $100,000 28 32 for this license and on November 24, 2004, we have an option to purchase all rights and interests in the Teledyne marks for $412,000. OTHER RELATIONSHIPS KIRKPATRICK & LOCKHART LLP. We retained the law firm of Kirkpatrick & Lockhart LLP to perform services for the Company during 2000, and expect additional services to continue in 2001. Charles J. Queenan, Jr., a member of the Company's Board of Directors, is Senior Counsel to that law firm. See "2000 Report on Executive Compensation - Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation." MELLON BANK. Dr. Mehrabian is a director of Mellon Financial Corporation. Mr. Cahouet had served as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mellon Financial Corporation and Mellon Bank, N.A., having retired on December 31, 1998. Mr. Cahouet ceased being a director of Mellon Financial Corporation on April 18, 2000. We maintain various arms-length banking relationships with Mellon Bank, N.A. Mellon Bank, N.A. is one of nine lenders under our $200 million credit facility, having committed to lend up to $33,750,000 under the facility. Mellon Bank, N.A. also serves as trustee under the Teledyne Technologies Incorporated Pension Plan. Mellon Investor Services LLC serves as our transfer agent and registrar. Notwithstanding these relationships, our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Cahouet is "independent," within the meaning of the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, to serve on the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. 29 33 CUMULATIVE TOTAL STOCKHOLDER RETURN The graph set forth below shows the cumulative total stockholder return (i.e., price change plus reinvestment of dividends) on the Common Stock from November 30, 1999, the first day of "regular way" trading in the Common Stock following the spin-off through December 31, 2000, as compared to the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Index, the Standard & Poor's SmallCap 600 Index and the Dow Jones Aerospace & Defense Index. The graph assumes that $100 was invested on November 30, 1999. In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, this presentation is not incorporated by reference into any of the Company's registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933.

Our employees may also solicit proxies for no additional compensation. By Order of the Board of Directors, /s/ JOHN T. KUELBS John T. Kuelbs Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary March 15, 2001 32 36 ANNEX A AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER (AS AMENDED AND RESTATED ON JANUARY 23, 2001) The Board of Directors (the "Board") of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (the "Corporation") shall appoint the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") which should be constituted and have the responsibility and authority as described herein. Composition The Audit Committee shall meet the size, independence and experience requirements of the New York Stock Exchange, as may be in effect from time to time. Responsibility The Audit Committee's primary responsibility shall be to assist the Board in monitoring the integrity of the financial statements of the Corporation and the independence of the Corporation's external auditors. In carrying out its responsibility, the Audit Committee shall undertake the following activities: 1. Recommend to the Board, in advance of the annual meeting of the stockholders, the appointment of the independent auditor to audit the books, records and accounts of the Corporation. Such independent auditor is ultimately accountable to the Board and the Audit Committee, as representatives of the stockholders. 2. Evaluate the performance of the independent auditor and, if so determined by the Audit Committee, recommend that the Board replace the independent auditor. 3. Approve the fees to be paid to the independent auditor. 4. Receive written periodic reports from the independent auditor delineating all relationships between the independent auditor and the Corporation. This report shall be consistent with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 regarding the auditor's independence. The Audit Committee shall actively engage in dialogue with the independent auditor with respect to any disclosed relationships or services that may impact the objectivity and independence of the auditor, and if determined by the Audit Committee, recommend that the Board take appropriate action to insure the independence of the auditor. 5. Meet with the independent auditor prior to the audit to review the planning of the audit. 6. Review with the independent auditor any problems or difficulties the auditor may have encountered and any management letter provided by the auditor and the Corporation's response to that letter. Such review should include: (a) Any difficulties encountered in the course of the audit work, including any restrictions on the scope of activities or access to required information. (b) Any changes required in the planned scope of the internal audit. A-1 37 (c) The internal audit department responsibilities, budget and staffing related to the preparation of the financial statements. 7. Discuss with the independent auditor the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 relating to the conduct of the audit. 8. Obtain from the independent auditor assurance that Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 has been adhered to. 9. Review the Corporation's annual audited financial statements and the report thereon with the independent auditor and management prior to the publication of such statements. 10. Review with management and the independent auditor the Corporation's quarterly financial statements prior to the release of quarterly earnings. 11. Review an analysis prepared by management and the independent auditor of significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of the Corporation's financial statements. 12. Review major changes to the Corporation's auditing and accounting principles and practices as suggested by the independent auditor, internal auditors or management. 13. Meet periodically with management to review the Corporation's major financial risk exposures and the steps that management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. 14. Review the significant reports to management prepared by the internal auditing department and management's responses. 15. Meet at least annually with the Chief Financial Officer, the senior internal auditing executive and the independent auditor in separate executive sessions. 16. Meet at least quarterly with the senior internal auditing executive to discuss internal audits and findings. The senior internal auditing executive shall directly (and separately) report to each of the Chair of the Committee and the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation. The primary purpose of this dual reporting structure is to assure that Chair of the Audit Committee has direct access to internal audit-related information concerning the Corporation. It reflects the directive that the Corporation's internal auditing department, through the senior internal auditing executive, has responsibility to assure that important audit-related issues are brought to the attention of the Chair of the Audit Committee and ultimately the Audit Committee. 17. Review with the Corporation's General Counsel legal matters that may have a material impact on the financial statements, the Corporation's compliance policies and any material reports or inquiries received from regulators or governmental agencies. 18. Prepare the report required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission to be included in the Corporation's annual proxy statement. 19. Prepare the required written confirmation to the New York Stock Exchange at least once a year or upon any changes to the composition of the Audit Committee. A-2 38 20. Review and reassess the adequacy of this Charter annually and submit it to the Board for approval. The Audit Committee shall meet at least four times a year and make a report to the Board following each meeting. The Audit Committee shall have the authority to retain special legal, accounting or other advisors as it deems necessary. While the Audit Committee has the responsibility and authority set forth in this Charter, it is not the duty of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Corporation's financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This is the responsibility of management and the independent auditor. Nor is it the duty of the Audit Committee to conduct investigations, to resolve disagreements, if any, between management and the independent auditor or to assure compliance with laws and regulations.
