Cautionary Statements

Disclosures in this Proxy Statement may contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Statements that do not relate strictly to historical or current facts are forward-looking and usually identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “approximate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe” and other words of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial matters. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained in this Proxy Statement include the matters discussed regarding the expectation of performance under compensation plans, and anticipated financial and operational performance of the Company. The forward-looking statements contained in this Proxy Statement involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. The Company has based these forward-looking statements on current expectations and assumptions about future events, taking into account all information currently known to the Company. Although the Company considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are beyond the Company’s control. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance and results of the Company’s business and forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those set forth in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the 2023 Annual Report, and in the other documents the Company files from time to time with the SEC.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and the Company does not intend to correct or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Incorporation by Reference

Neither the Personnel and Compensation Committee Report nor the Audit Committee Report shall be deemed soliciting material or filed with the SEC and neither of them shall be deemed incorporated by reference into any prior or future filings made by us under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate such information by reference.

Voting Matters and Board Recommendations

In addition, stockholders will transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting and at any adjournments or postponements of the meeting.

Snapshot of 2024 Director Nominees

We believe that all of our Class I directors, who are being nominated for re-election at the Annual Meeting, are highly-qualified and vital members of a well-rounded, experienced Board. All director nominees possess high integrity, innovative thinking, a proven record of success, knowledge of corporate governance requirements and practices, and commitment to sustainability and social issues.

2024 Proxy Statement Summary (continued)

The following table provides summary information about each director nominee standing for election to the Board for a three-year term expiring at the 2027 Annual Meeting. As further described below, our director nominees represent a diverse range of backgrounds and overall experience.

Diversity

The Board regularly assesses the diversity of its members and nominees as part of its annual evaluation process. We believe that our 11 directors represent a diverse and broad range of attributes, qualifications, experiences, and skills to provide an effective mix of viewpoints and knowledge.

2024 Proxy Statement Summary (continued)

Director nominees are selected on the basis of, among other criteria, experience, knowledge, skills, expertise, integrity, diversity, ability to make independent analytical inquiries, understanding of, or familiarity with, the Company’s business products or markets or similar business products or markets and willingness to devote adequate time and effort to Board responsibilities. 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 Nominating and Governance Committee considers individual characteristics that may bring diversity to the Board, including gender, race, national origin, age, professional background, unique skill sets and areas of expertise. As part of its charter mandate, the Nominating and Governance Committee monitors our efforts in areas of diversity and keeps abreast of current and emerging trends with respect to diversity issues that may affect our business operations, performance or public image.

Governance Highlights

We are committed to good corporate governance, which promotes the long-term interests of stockholders, strengthens Board and management accountability and helps build public trust in the Company. Our corporate governance practices, highlighted below, are described in greater detail in the “Corporate Governance” section of this Proxy Statement.

2024 Proxy Statement Summary (continued)

2024 Proxy Statement Summary (continued)

Core Values

Corporate responsibility is part of our overall culture. Our four Core Values – Integrity, Respect, Responsibility, and Citizenship – guide the decisions we make as an organization. Any employee or third party doing business for or with Teledyne may report any ethical concern or suspected misconduct online at www.teledyne.ethicspoint.com or call the Ethics Hotline at (877) 666-6968.

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 Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”) and pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”). Members of the Board stay 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 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 for all committees on which the directors serve and the annual stockholders meeting. In fiscal year 2023, the Board held seven meetings and acted by written consent once. During 2023, all directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and Board committees of which they were members. Nine of our eleven directors attended the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders virtually.

Number of Directors

The Board of Directors determines the number of directors, which under our Bylaws must consist of not less than four members and not more than 12 members. The Board has currently fixed the number at 11 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. In the event Item 4 is approved at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our Board would become fully declassified by 2027.

Directors’ Change in Status and Resignation Policy

Our Change in Status and Resignation Policy requires a director to offer to tender their resignation if such director has a change in professional status, subject to the Board accepting the resignation. It also requires a director nominee standing for election at a meeting of stockholders to submit a contingent resignation in writing to the Chairman of the Nominating and Governance Committee prior to the meeting, which resignation becomes effective only if the director is not elected by a majority of votes cast and the Board accepts the resignation, as more fully described under “Majority Voting for Directors” on page 12.

Board Structure

The Board of Directors currently consists of 11 directors, ten of whom are considered independent under existing rules of the NYSE and the SEC. The Chairman of the Board, Dr. Mehrabian, is also our Executive Chairman and our former Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and therefore is not considered an independent director. The Executive Chairman presides at meetings of stockholders and Board meetings. The Board has formally designated Michael T. Smith, one of our independent directors, to serve as the lead director. Our non-management directors meet in executive session without management (including the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer) on a regularly scheduled basis, with the lead director presiding in such sessions. In addition, the Board’s three standing committees consist solely of independent directors.

The Board made the decision to separate the roles of the Executive Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer in 2024 to further succession planning and also to allow the Executive Chairman to focus his efforts on strategy, technology, mergers and acquisitions and margin expansion programs. 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.

Board Composition and Practices (continued)

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.

Executive Officers

The following table sets forth information regarding our current executive officers who are required to file reports under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Biographical information for Robert Mehrabian, our Executive Chairman, is included with the director biographies. The biographies for our other executive officers who are required to file reports under Section 16 of the Exchange Act are below.

Executive Officers (continued)

Item 1 on Proxy Card — Election of Directors

The Board, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, has nominated the following Class I directors for election at this year’s Annual Meeting, to hold office for three-year terms until the 2027 Annual Meeting: Denise R. Singleton, Simon M. Lorne, Vincent J. Morales and Wesley W. von Schack. All of the nominees currently serve as directors on the Board. Ms. Singleton, Mr. Lorne, and Dr. von Schack were last elected to the Board by the Company’s stockholders at the 2021 Annual Meeting, and Mr. Morales was appointed in November 2021. Each director nominee has agreed to be named in this Proxy Statement.

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.

Majority Voting for Directors

Our Bylaws and Change in Status and Resignation Policy for Directors provide a majority voting standard for election of directors in uncontested elections. Each director will be elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, meaning that the number of votes cast “FOR” a director nominee exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the number of votes cast with respect to that director’s election. The Board has adopted a policy whereby all director nominees must submit a contingent resignation in writing to the Chairman of the Nominating and Governance Committee. The resignation becomes effective only if the director is not elected by a majority of votes cast and the Board accepts the resignation. The Nominating and Governance Committee or another committee appointed by the Board will recommend to the Board whether to accept or reject the resignation or whether other action should be taken. The Board will act on such committee’s recommendation and publicly disclose its decision and the rationale behind it within 90 days following the date of the certification of the election results. The director who was not elected by a majority of votes cast will not participate in the Board’s decision with respect to such resignation. If the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the nominees who receive the highest number of votes cast will be elected.

Unless otherwise instructed, the individuals named as proxies in the proxy card will vote each proxy received by them for the election of the four named nominees. You may withhold authority for the proxies to vote your shares on, or vote against, any or all of the nominees by following the instructions on your proxy card.

Director Nominees

The Board has affirmatively determined that each of the nominees qualifies for election under the Company’s criteria for evaluation of directors (see “Director Qualifications, Skills and Attributes”). The following pages include biographical information about each of our directors (including the director nominees) and their specific experiences, qualifications, skills, and attributes that have led the Board and the Nominating and Governance Committee to conclude that they should serve as directors on the Board. In addition, the Board has determined that each non-employee director nominee qualifies as an independent director under the applicable NYSE listing standards.

Item 1 on Proxy Card — Election of Directors (continued)

Director Qualification, Skills, and Attributes

Our directors have substantial leadership, management, and industry experience and expertise in various fields. Four of our 11 directors self-identify as having diverse characteristics (race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation or cultural background). This diversity of experience and background of our directors, illustrated in the skills matrix and director nominees’ biographies that follow, is brought to bear in Board deliberations, during which multiple perspectives are considered in developing dynamic solutions to achieve our strategic priorities to reduce complexity, drive returns, and advance sustainably.

Because the skills matrix below is a summary, it does not include all of the qualifications, skills, attributes, experiences, and diversity that each director offers.

Corporate Governance

Director Independence

In April 2023, our Nominating and Governance Committee assessed, and our Board determined, the independence of each director in accordance with applicable NYSE and SEC rules, as then in effect. To comply with such rules, our Nominating and Governance Committee considered various relationship categories including: whether the director is an employee, amount of stock ownership, and commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting or auditing, charitable and familial relationships, as well as a range of individual circumstances (including social friendships between certain members of the Board). See “Certain Transactions” at page 96. The Nominating and Governance Committee, followed by the Board, determined that each member of our Board of Directors did not have any material relationships with us and was thus independent, except for Dr. Mehrabian, our Executive Chairman. Our management, after reviewing director questionnaires, reported to our Board in February 2024 that information on which the Board based its independence assessment in 2023 had not materially changed. The independent directors are: Charles Crocker, Kenneth C. Dahlberg, Michelle A. Kumbier, Simon M. Lorne, Robert A. Malone, Vincent J. Morales, Jane C. Sherburne, Denise R. Singleton, Michael T. Smith and Wesley W. von Schack.

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

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

Corporate Governance and Ethics Guidelines

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

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

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, Code of Conduct for Service Providers, Corporate Governance Guidelines and Committee charters are available on our website at www.teledyne.com under “Who We Are” — “Corporate 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, Executive 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, Chief Audit Executive reports directly to the Audit Committee on the activities of the Company’s internal audit function. Management also reports to the Audit Committee on legal, finance, accounting, cybersecurity and compliance matters at least quarterly and on tax and information technology matters periodically. Our Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary is also our Chief Compliance Officer, and she reports to our Executive Chairman and our Chief Executive Officer. 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 to identify significant company risks and determine whether we have appropriate risk management policies, practices and procedures in place. The committee consists of our Vice President, Chief Audit Executive (Chair); Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; Executive Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and Secretary; Associate General Counsel, Human Resources; Vice President and Chief Information Officer; and individuals representing various business units. The Chair of the Enterprise Risk Management Committee periodically reports to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors on the progress and results of the actions taken by the committee.

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 Committee 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

Corporate Governance (continued)

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.

Hedging Policy

Our Insider Trading Policy prohibits short sales of our stock, buying or selling put or call options on our stock, holding our stock in a margin account, pledging our stock as collateral for a loan, or entering into hedging or monetization transactions with respect to our stock, in each case without prior advance approval from our Executive Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and Secretary (no such advance approvals were granted to directors or named executives in 2023). The foregoing prohibitions apply to our directors, executive officers and any employee who participates in our stock option and restricted stock unit programs.

Board Evaluation Process

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

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

Communications with the Board

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

Stockholder Engagement

We regularly engage with our stockholders to understand their perspectives on Teledyne, including our strategies, financial performance, management and executive compensation. As part of this program, senior management regularly meets with institutional investors. During fiscal year 2023, senior management met with many institutional investors, including the majority of our top 25 investors with actively managed funds, through virtual and in-person investor conferences, virtual and in-person meetings and telephone conferences.

Corporate Responsibility

Teledyne continuously operates within our Global Code of Ethical Business Conduct. We firmly believe that improvement is possible only if we measure our performance and constantly raise our standards through

Corporate Governance (continued)

ethically oriented practices, including our contributions and commitment to having a positive measurable impact on humanity. Our Global Code of Ethical Business Conduct and other policies and information related to corporate social responsibility can be found at www.teledyne.com under “Who We Are” — “Corporate Governance.”

Environment and Sustainability

Recently, the prominence and importance of sustainability and Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) initiatives have dramatically increased. In November 2022, we published our second Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) report, in which we disclose and highlight some of Teledyne’s most recent efforts focused and sustainability and ESG. We published a supplement to the CSR report in November 2023 to include updated financial information and other information in the report. The CSR report together with its supplement is available under “Who We Are” – “Corporate Social Responsibility” on our website at www.teledyne.com. The CSR report includes data on Teledyne’s combined direct emissions (“Scope 1”) and indirect emissions from purchased energy (“Scope 2”), workplace safety, water usage, waste generation and recycling and workplace demographics.

In 2021, we compiled the first annual global inventory of our greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions (starting with fiscal year 2020) and have developed a GHG monitoring and management plan. We have set a goal to reduce our combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions in company operations, normalized for revenue, by 40% from 2020 levels by the end of 2040. Going forward, we will continue to evaluate our emission reduction goals, while at the same time providing the tools and technologies enabling environmental science and climatology across the globe. More information about our carbon footprint and GHG emission reduction efforts and goals, and the contributions that Teledyne products make to carbon monitoring and environmental and climate science, can be found in our CSR report.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

We endeavor to build a more diverse and inclusive workplace. In 2020, we formed a committee to oversee our diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. We support programs increasing the inclusion of underrepresented and minority groups, including the enablement of persons with disabilities and the advancement of women in professional fields, particularly in science, technology, engineering, and math (“STEM”). We have broadened our recruitment pools by attending a broader range of job fairs. We also regularly review our policies, processes, and practices in an effort to promote inclusivity for all applicants and employees.

Ethics Help Line

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

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 “Who We Are” — “Corporate Governance.”

Audit Committee

The members of the Audit Committee are:

  Simon M. Lorne, Chair

  Kenneth C. Dahlberg

  Michelle A. Kumbier

  Robert A. Malone

  Vincent J. Morales

  Jane C. Sherburne

  Denise R. Singleton

  Michael T. Smith

The Audit Committee held six meetings in 2023.

The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors’ 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:

The charter of the Audit Committee was last amended and restated on December 21, 2021. (The charter is available on the Corporate Governance Web Page: https://www.teledyne.com/who-we-are/corporate-governance). 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.

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 and Audit Committee Charter provide that no director may serve as a member of the Audit Committee if such director serves on the audit committees of more than two other public companies unless the Board determines that such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of such director to effectively serve on the Audit Committee. Any such determination must be disclosed in the annual Proxy Statement. None of our Audit Committee members serve on more than two other audit committees of public companies. Besides our Audit Committee, each of Ms. Singleton, Ms. Kumbier and Ms. Sherburne simultaneously serves on the audit committee of one other public company.

The report of the Audit Committee is included under “Item 2 on Proxy Card — Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” at page 32.

Nominating and Governance Committee

The Nominating and Governance Committee undertakes to:

Committees of Our Board of Directors (continued)

The charter of the Nominating and Governance Committee was last amended and restated effective January 1, 2019. The members of the Nominating and Governance Committee are “independent” under the NYSE listing standards. (The charter is available on the Corporate Governance Web Page: https://www.teledyne.com/who-we-are/corporate-governance).

The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider stockholder recommendations for nominees for director. Any stockholders interested in recommending a nominee should follow the procedures outlined in “Other Information — 2024 Annual Meeting and Stockholder Proposals” at page 102. 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 the Board and may be considered at any point during the year.

As stated in the Corporate Governance Guidelines, nominees for director are to be selected based on, among other criteria, experience, knowledge, skills, expertise, integrity, diversity, ability to make analytical inquiries, understanding of or familiarity with our business, products or markets or similar business, products or markets, and willingness to devote adequate time and effort to Board responsibilities. The Committee may establish additional criteria and is responsible for assessing the appropriate balance of criteria required of Board members.

(The charter is available on the Corporate Governance Web Page: https://www.teledyne.com/who-we-are/corporate-governance). The members of the Personnel and Compensation Committee are “independent” under the NYSE listing standards.

The Committee is composed exclusively of independent directors that are deemed “non-employee directors” under Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

Committees of Our Board of Directors (continued)

Our Chief Executive Officer works with the Personnel and Compensation Committee Chair, our Executive Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and Secretary and our Vice President of Human Resources in establishing the agenda for the Committee. Our Chief Executive Officer makes compensation recommendations to the Committee for the named executives (other than himself and the Executive Chairman). The Personnel and Compensation Committee’s Chair reports the committee’s recommendations on executive compensation to the Board. The Personnel and Compensation Committee has the authority, under its charter, to obtain advice and assistance from internal or external legal, accounting or other advisors. The Personnel and Compensation Committee has the sole authority and resources to retain and terminate any compensation consultant to be used to assist in the evaluation of the Executive Chairman’s, Chief Executive Officer’s or other executive officers’ compensation and has sole authority to approve the consultant’s fees and other retention terms. As discussed below under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Committee retained Exequity LLP to assist the Committee in fulfilling its responsibilities in 2023. The Personnel and Compensation Committee may delegate its responsibility to control and manage the plan assets of our employee benefit plans. In addition, under the terms of our stock incentive plans, the Personnel and Compensation Committee may delegate certain powers and authority under the stock incentive plan as it deems appropriate to a subcommittee and/or designated officers and, as discussed below under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Personnel and Compensation Committee has made a limited delegation of authority to both our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer to grant stock options and restricted stock units pursuant to this authority.

The report of the Personnel and Compensation Committee is included under “Executive and Director Compensation” at page 49.

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

The Audit Committee has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2024. 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 year 2024 is subject to the continued approval of the Audit Committee.

Although the appointment of an independent registered public accounting firm is not required to be approved by the stockholders, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors believe that stockholders should participate in such selection through ratification. The proposal to ratify the Audit Committee’s appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP will be approved by the stockholders if it receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares cast on the proposal by holders present virtually 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 2024. If you specifically abstain from voting on the proposal, your shares will not affect the outcome of the vote. If the stockholders do not ratify the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Audit Committee will reconsider the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as an independent registered public accounting firm. Notwithstanding the ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent auditors, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of new independent auditors at any time during the year if the Audit Committee believes that such a change would be in the best interests of Teledyne and its stockholders. It is expected that representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP will be present at the meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement and respond to appropriate questions.

The Board of Directors Recommends

a Vote FOR Ratification of the Appointment

of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the

Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

Fees Billed by Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The following table sets forth fees billed by Deloitte & Touche LLP for professional services rendered for the 2023 fiscal year and for the 2022 fiscal year (in thousands).

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

Guidelines Regarding External Auditing Firms

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

On a quarterly basis in executive session, management and our independent registered public accounting firm review with the Audit Committee all audit, non-audit and tax services that the firm provides to us. For 2023, 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 2024 fiscal year, the Audit Committee considered whether the provision of non-audit services by Deloitte & Touche LLP is compatible with maintaining Deloitte & Touche LLP’s independence.

Audit Committee Report

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

Report of the Audit Committee

The following is the report of the Audit Committee with respect to the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Financial Statements”) of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”).

The responsibilities of the Audit Committee are set forth in the Audit Committee Charter, as amended and restated as of December 21, 2021, which has been adopted by the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee is comprised of eight 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 the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee has received written disclosures and the letter from Deloitte & Touche required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding Deloitte & Touche’s communication with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with Deloitte & Touche its independence.

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

Based on these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Financial Statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Submitted by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors:

February 20, 2024

Item 3 on Proxy Card — Advisory Resolution on Executive Compensation

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange 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.

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 2024 Annual Meeting:

RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers during 2023, 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 2024 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 virtually 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 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders voted in a non-binding advisor vote in favor of holding an advisory “say on pay” vote on an annual basis, which our Board of Directors approved. Therefore, we currently expect our next say on pay proposal (after the vote on this Item 3) will be held at our next annual meeting in 2025, particularly in light of the result of the advisory vote approving the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The Board of Directors Recommends

a Vote FOR Approval of the Advisory Resolution

on Executive Compensation.

Item 4 on Proxy Card — Board Declassification Charter Amendment to Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation

Background

Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) currently provides that the Board shall be divided into three classes as nearly equal in number as possible with members of each class serving for three-year terms. Teledyne’s Board of Directors has unanimously approved and is recommending that stockholders approve an amendment to Article TEN of our Certificate of Incorporation to provide for the phased-in elimination of the classified Board of Directors structure and the annual election of directors. We refer to this proposed amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation as the “Board Declassification Charter Amendment” in this Proxy Statement.

In its review of our classified board structure, the Board has carefully weighed the advantages and disadvantages of maintaining a classified board structure. The Board considered that many U.S. public companies have eliminated their classified board structures in recent years in favor of annual elections and that many investors now consider the election of directors to be the primary means for stockholders to influence corporate governance policies and to increase a board’s accountability.

The Nominating and Governance Committee regularly considers and evaluates a broad range of corporate governance issues affecting Teledyne and takes into consideration feedback we receive from our stockholders. After carefully weighing these considerations and stockholder opinion on this topic, the Board concluded that the annual election of all directors will both enhance our corporate governance practices and be an effective way to maintain and enhance the accountability of the Board. Accordingly, the Board, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, has unanimously determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to eliminate the classified board structure.

Text of the Proposed Charter Amendment

Our Certificate of Incorporation currently provides that the Board shall be divided into three classes as nearly equal in number as possible with members of each class serving for three-year terms. If this proposal is approved, all directors will be elected annually beginning at the 2027 Annual Meeting. The directors to be elected at the 2024 Annual Meeting will be elected to serve a full three-year term. The directors to be elected at the 2025 Annual Meeting will be elected to serve a two-year term. The directors to be elected at the 2026 Annual Meeting will be elected to serve a one-year term. At the 2027 Annual Meeting and at each meeting of stockholders thereafter, all directors will be elected annually. Because the declassification process discussed in this proposal would not be complete until the 2027 Annual Meeting, it would not operate to shorten the upcoming term of any of our directors nominated for election at the 2024 Annual Meeting, ensuring a smooth transition to annual elections of all of our directors. All directors elected to fill vacancies will hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting at which the term of the class to which they have been elected expires. We propose to amend Article TEN of our Certification of Incorporation so that it would state in its entirety as follows:

“TEN: (A) Except as otherwise fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article FOUR hereof relating to the rights of the holders of any class or series of stock having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the number of directors of the Corporation shall be fixed from time to time by the affirmative vote of a majority of the whole Board of Directors. Each director serving as a director immediately following the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, unless he or she may be elected by the holders of any class or series of stock having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, shall hold office until the expiration of the term for which he or she has been elected, and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, or removal from office. At the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the

Item 4 on Proxy Card — Board Declassification Charter Amendment to Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation (continued)

successors to the class of directors whose terms expire at that meeting shall be elected for a three-year term expiring at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. At the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the successors to the class of directors whose terms expire at that meeting shall be elected for a two-year term expiring at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. At the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the successors to the class of directors whose terms expire at that meeting shall be elected for a one-year term expiring at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. At the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and at each meeting of stockholders thereafter, each director shall be elected for a one-year term expiring at the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Each director shall hold office until the expiration of the term for which he or she is elected, and until his or her successor shall have been elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, or removal from office.

(B) Except as otherwise fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article FOUR hereof relating to the rights of the holders of any class or series of stock having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation to elect directors:

(a) In case of any increase in the number of directors, the additional director or directors, and in case of any vacancy in the Board of Directors due to death, resignation, removal, disqualification or any other reason, the successors to fill the vacancies, shall be elected only by a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director and not by the stockholders, unless otherwise provided by law or by resolution adopted by a majority of the whole Board of Directors.

(b) Directors appointed in the manner provided in paragraph (a) to newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, removal, disqualification or any other cause shall hold office for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders at which their term expires.

(c) No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

(C) Except as otherwise fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article FOUR hereof relating to the rights of the holders of any class or series of stock having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation to elect directors, any director or directors may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of 75% of the Voting Power, voting together as a single class.”

The general description of the proposed amendment to Teledyne’s Certificate of Incorporation set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the proposed amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation, which are attached as Annex A to this Proxy Statement.

Vote Required; Board Recommendation

The Board has unanimously adopted and is submitting for stockholder approval two amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation, this Item 4, which institutes the phased-in elimination of the classified Board of Directors structure and the annual election of directors and Item 5, which provides for officer exculpation. Each of the two proposed amendments will be voted on separately and the effectiveness of any proposed amendment is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposed amendment.

The affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be required for approval of this proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of a vote against this proposal. If approved, the Certificate of Incorporation will be amended to incorporate each amendment that receives the requisite stockholder approval and such

Item 4 on Proxy Card — Board Declassification Charter Amendment to Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation (continued)

amendments will become effective upon its filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which we intend to do following the Annual Meeting. If the proposal is approved, the Board will make conforming amendments to our Bylaws.

The Board of Directors Recommends a Vote FOR

the Amendment of Teledyne’s Certificate of Incorporation

to Declassify the Board of Directors.

Item 5 on Proxy Card — Officer Exculpation Charter Amendment to Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation

Background

Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) limits the monetary liability of our directors in certain circumstances pursuant to, and consistent with, the DGCL. Effective August 1, 2022, Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL was amended to permit a corporation to include within its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting monetary liability for certain senior corporate officers for a breach of the duty of care in certain circumstances. Teledyne’s Board of Directors has unanimously approved and declared advisable that it is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to add Article FOURTEEN, to adopt amended DGCL Section 102(b)(7) and extend exculpation protection to our officers in addition to our directors. We refer to this proposed amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation as the “Officer Exculpation Charter Amendment” in this proxy statement.

Teledyne’s Board believes that amending our Certificate of Incorporation to add the authorized liability protection for certain officers, consistent with the protection in our Certificate of Incorporation currently afforded our directors in Article SEVEN of our Certificate of Incorporation, is necessary in order to continue to attract and retain experienced and qualified officers. The proposed Officer Exculpation Charter Amendment would allow for the exculpation of certain officers only in connection with direct claims brought by stockholders, including class actions, but would not eliminate officers’ monetary liability for breach of fiduciary duty claims brought by the Company itself or for derivative claims brought by stockholders in the name of the Company. As is currently the case with directors under Article SEVEN of our Certificate of Incorporation, the Officer Exculpation Charter Amendment would not limit the liability of officers for any breach of the duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, any acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, and any transaction from which the officer derived an improper personal benefit.

Text of Proposed Charter Amendment

Our Certificate of Incorporation currently provides for the exculpation of directors, but does not include a provision that allows for the exculpation of officers. To ensure the Company is able to attract and retain key officers and in an effort to reduce litigation costs associated with frivolous lawsuits, we propose to add Article FOURTEEN to our Certification of Incorporation so that it would state in its entirety as follows:

“FOURTEEN: No officer of the Company shall have any personal liability to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as an officer except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), as the same exists or hereafter may be amended. Any amendment, repeal or modification of this Article, or the adoption of any provision of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article, shall not adversely affect any right or protection of an officer of the Corporation with respect to act of omission occurring prior to such amendment, repeal, modification or adoption. If the DGCL is amended after the approval of this Article by the stockholders to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of officers, then the liability of an officer of the corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as so amended.”

The general description of the proposed amendment to Teledyne’s Certificate of Incorporation set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the proposed amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation, which are attached as Annex A to this Proxy Statement.

Item 5 on Proxy Card — Officer Exculpation Charter Amendment to Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation (continued)

Vote Required; Board Recommendation

The Board has unanimously adopted and is submitting for stockholder approval two amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation, this Item 5, provides for officer exculpation and Item 4, which institutes the phased-in elimination of the classified Board of Directors structure and the annual election of directors. Each of the two proposed amendments will be voted on separately and the effectiveness of any proposed amendment is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposed amendment.

The approval of the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation requires the affirmative vote of a majority of shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of a vote against this proposal. If approved, the Certificate of Incorporation will be amended to incorporate each amendment that receives the requisite stockholder approval and such amendments will become effective upon its filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which we intend to do following the Annual Meeting.

The Board of Directors Recommends a Vote FOR

the Amendment of Teledyne’s Certificate of Incorporation

to Provide for Officer Exculpation.

Item 6 on Proxy Card — Stockholder Proposal to Adopt Simple Majority Voting

A stockholder has informed the Company that he intends to present the proposal set forth below at our Annual Meeting. The name and address of the stockholder and the number of the Company’s securities that the stockholder owns will be provided to stockholders promptly upon request. If the stockholder or his qualified representative is present at the Annual Meeting and properly submits the proposal for a vote, then the stockholder proposal will be voted upon at the Annual Meeting. In accordance with federal securities laws, the stockholder proposal is presented below as submitted by the stockholder and is quoted verbatim. The Company disclaims all responsibility for the content of the proposal and the supporting statement, including other sources referenced in the supporting statement.

For the reasons stated in the Board’s Statement in Opposition,

which follows the stockholder proposal,

the Board unanimously recommends that

you vote “AGAINST” the stockholder proposal.

Stockholder Proposal

Proposal 6 — Simple Majority Vote

Shareholders request that our board take each step necessary so that each voting requirement in our charter and bylaws (that is explicit or implicit due to default to state law) that calls for a greater than simple majority vote be replaced by a requirement for a majority of the votes cast for and against applicable proposals, or a simple majority in compliance with applicable laws. If necessary this means the closest standard to a majority of the votes cast for and against such proposals consistent with applicable laws. This includes making the necessary changes in plain English.

Shareholders are willing to pay a premium for shares of companies that have excellent corporate governance. Supermajority voting requirements have been found to be one of 6 entrenching mechanisms that are negatively related to company performance according to “What Matters in Corporate Governance” by Lucien Bebchuk, Alma Cohen and Allen Ferrell of the Harvard Law School. Supermajority requirements are used to block initiatives supported by most shareowners but opposed by a status quo management.

This proposal topic won from 74% to 88% support at Weyerhaeuser, Alcoa, Waste Management, Goldman Sachs, FirstEnergy, McGraw-Hill and Macy’s. These votes would have been higher than 74% to 88% if more shareholders had access to independent proxy voting advice. This proposal topic also received overwhelming 98%-support each at the 2023 annual meetings of American Airlines (AAL) and The Carlyle Group (CG).

The overwhelming shareholder support for this proposal topic at hundreds of major companies raises the question of why Teledyne Technologies had not initiated this proposal topic earlier.

Please vote yes:

Simple Majority Vote — Proposal 6

Item 6 on Proxy Card — Stockholder Proposal to Adopt Simple Majority Voting (continued)

Vote Required

Proposal 6 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 virtually or represented by proxy at the meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will each be counted as present for purposes of determining a quorum but will not have any effect on the outcome of the proposal.

The Board’s Statement in Opposition

The Board has considered this proposal and concluded that its adoption is not in the best interests of our stockholders. Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal for the following reasons.

We Have an Excellent Corporate Governance Structure

Our Board is firmly committed to excellence in corporate governance and has adopted a wide range of practices and procedures that promote effective Board oversight. Our Board believes that the corporate governance concerns raised by the proponent are misplaced. Some of the Company’s progressive governance practices include the following:

Existing Supermajority Voting Thresholds Apply in Limited Circumstances

A majority of the total number of votes present at a meeting is required for passage of all matters voted upon by stockholders, other than select proposals to amend the Certificate of Incorporation. An affirmative vote of 75% of the outstanding shares is required to amend the sections of the Certificate of Incorporation relating to procedures for amending the Bylaws, director indemnification, procedures related to the election of directors and matters brought before regular and special meetings of stockholders, the election of directors and Board structure, committees of the Board of directors and to adopt a fundamental change.

Supermajority voting provisions such as these are prevalent among S&P 500 companies, with many companies within the index maintaining some form of a supermajority voting threshold. These voting standards comply with applicable law, have been in place since we became a public company over twenty years ago and are in place to maximize long-term value for our stockholders and provide protection for all stockholders against self-interested actions of one or a few large stockholders.

Our Board believes that in the limited circumstances as provided in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, the higher voting requirements are appropriate because those fundamental matters should require the support of a broad consensus of the Company’s stockholders, rather than a simple majority of the votes present at a meeting.

Item 6 on Proxy Card — Stockholder Proposal to Adopt Simple Majority Voting (continued)

Benefits to Stockholders from Supermajority Provisions

Under a simple majority vote standard, where only a “majority of the votes cast for and against” is required, a few large stockholders would have the power to approve actions that would significantly alter the governance of the Company, including fundamental changes to the Company’s corporate governance structure or operations that could negatively impact the interests of all stockholders. This means a very small group of stockholders could act in their own self-interests and possibly to the detriment of the Company’s other stockholders. Our Board believes that the few heightened voting standards currently existing in the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws protect our stockholders against such actions and should not be eliminated.

For these reasons, the Board unanimously urges

stockholders to vote “AGAINST” the proposal to

provide for simple majority vote.

Other Business

We know of no business that may be presented for consideration at the meeting other than the six 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, stockholders will have an opportunity to submit questions about our Company and businesses. Questions will be answered after the meeting by following up directly with the stockholder of record or the registered beneficial owner. Please include your email address with your question so that we may follow up with you.
