Our diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) and free cash flow (“FCF”) achievements significantly exceeded the corporate goals in our annual incentive plan. Our 2018 EPS
from continuing operations increased by 6% to $10.05, compared with $9.46 for 2017, and our net cash from operating activities from continuing operations increased by 6% to $1,042 million for 2018, as compared to $985 million from 2017. Our 2018 EPS from
continuing operations included certain debt retirement charges, merger and acquisition-related expenses and divestiture gains that are described more fully in “– Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to GAAP Measures” on page 34.
Excluding these items, our EPS from continuing operations grew by 14% to $10.75 for 2018, as compared to $9.46 for 2017. Our 2017 EPS from continuing operations also included an estimated tax benefit of $0.99 per diluted share
related to the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017 (the “2017 Tax Reform Law”). Our FCF from continuing operations increased 8% to $935 million in 2018, as compared to $862 million for 2017. The FCF
results discussed in this paragraph are subject to the adjustments set forth in “– Reconciliation
of Non-GAAP Measures to GAAP Measures” on page 34.
|
• |
Our consolidated organic sales growth (that is, the growth in our net sales excluding the sales impact of business acquisitions and divestitures) (“OSG”) also
significantly exceeded our annual incentive plan goal. Our consolidated net sales grew by 7% to $10,244 million for 2018, as compared to $9,573 million for 2017. Our consolidated OSG was 7% for 2018 (with organic sales increasing
by $635 million, to $10,138 million for 2018), led by organic growth of 6% for our USG business (including the DoD). Consolidated organic sales exclude $106 million of sales increases related to business acquisitions and $70
million of sales declines related to business divestitures.
|
• |
Our segment operating margin was 10.8% for 2018 and was unchanged from 2017.
|
• |
Our segment operating income increased by $75 million, or 7%, to $1,106 million for 2018, as compared to $1,031 million for 2017. Favorable contract performance at
Electronic Systems was offset by lower manufacturing yields, inventory provisions and unfavorable contract performance for the Traveling Wave Tube business in our Communications & Networked Systems segment and higher research
and development costs, primarily at our Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Systems segment, as described below.
|
• |
We undertook significant strategic actions to reshape and strengthen our business portfolio for continued future success. As discussed above, on June 29, 2018, we
completed the sale of our Vertex Aerospace business, representing a strategic shift in the scope of our business. We also invested $386 million to acquire five businesses in 2018. Our acquisitions build and strengthen select L3
business areas, including with respect to information security; unmanned surface vessel (USV) and autonomous vessel control systems; aerospace engineering, software development and space situational awareness; robotic solutions for
automotive manufacturing; and unmanned aerial systems. We also increased our research and development (R&D) investment by 14%, or $39 million, to $326 million for 2018, as compared to $287 million for 2017.
|
• |
As discussed above, on October 14, 2018, we entered into an agreement to combine L3 and Harris in an all stock merger of equals in which L3 shareholders will receive a
fixed exchange ratio of 1.30 shares of Harris common stock for each share of L3 common stock they hold and will collectively own approximately 46% of the combined company.
|
• |
We returned $576 million of cash to our shareholders in 2018, by repurchasing $322 million of our Common Stock and paying dividends of $254 million following our 14th consecutive annual dividend increase.
|
• |
Credit rating agencies S&P, Moody’s and Fitch reaffirmed their stable outlooks and investment-grade credit ratings for L3. We also maintained an efficient capital
structure with ample liquidity. We ended 2018 with $3.3 billion of debt, unchanged from 2017 and representing approximately 35% of invested capital, $1,066 million of cash on hand (an increase of approximately 60% as compared to
the end of 2017) and an available revolver of $1 billion.

Other than with respect to Messrs. Kubasik and Miller, amounts disclosed in the Salary column represent the annualized base salary established for each named executive
officer by the Committee effective February 24, 2018. Mr. Kubasik’s annualized base salary became effective on January 1, 2018 in connection with his promotion to Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Miller’s annualized base salary was
initially set at $488,800 effective February 24, 2018 in connection with his then existing role as president of our Sensor Systems segment, and was increased to $565,000 in connection with his promotion to president of our ISR
Systems segment effective August 2, 2018. The amounts disclosed in the Salary and Target Pay columns for Mr. Miller reflect his prorated annualized based salary for his service during 2018 in these roles.
|

The amounts disclosed in this column exclude the value of long-term incentives granted to Messrs. Kubasik
and Miller in December 2018, in lieu of being granted in February 2019 as part of their respective 2019 target pay, to mitigate potential excise taxes that may be applicable under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code in
connection with the L3 Harris Merger. For a further discussion, see “– Summary of 2019
Target Pay” beginning on page 29.

Executive Compensation Program Features
|
|
Executive Compensation
Program Includes
|
• Emphasis on long-term, performance-based compensation and meaningful stock ownership guidelines to align executive and shareholder interests
• Transparent, formulaic incentive plans designed to promote short- and long-term business success
• Performance conditions on the Chief Executive Officer’s stock options
• Clawback policy that applies to all incentive compensation, including equity-based awards
• Modest perquisites consistent with competitive practices
• Double trigger provisions for severance payable in the event of a change in control
• Annual compensation risk assessment to ensure program does not encourage excessive risk-taking
• Tally sheet
analysis to better understand current and accumulated compensation and benefits
|
Executive Compensation
Program Does Not
Include or Prohibits
|
• Excise
tax gross-ups on severance/change in control payments
• Repricing
of stock options or other equity-based awards without shareholder approval
• Pension
plan/SERP credit for years not worked with L3 or its predecessor companies
• Excessive
severance or change in control provisions
• Payment
of dividends on stock options, or on other equity-based awards prior to vesting
• Hedging
or pledging of L3 stock by executives, employees and non-employee directors

▪ |
Operational Fit: companies in the same or similar industries with a comparable business mix and client base, and diversified global operations. Due to the limited number of “pure defense” companies of comparable
size, the Committee believes that it is appropriate to include other companies in L3’s compensation peer group that are similar in size and compete with L3 for executive talent or investor capital.
|
▪ |
Financial Scope: companies of similar size as measured by annual corporate revenues. At the time this peer group was approved, most of the peers fell within a range of one-third to three times the size of L3. In
limited circumstances, the Committee has found it appropriate to include companies with revenues that fall both above and below this range when they are proven competitors for business, executive talent or investor capital.

Award Determination under Annual Incentive Plan
|
• Performance criteria defined at the beginning of the performance period
|
• Performance compared to pre-established goals
|
• For corporate named executive officers, financial performance is based on consolidated EPS, FCF and OSG results
|
• For segment presidents, financial performance is primarily based on the operating income
(“OI”) and FCF results for their respective segments, with additional consideration given to consolidated EPS, FCF and OSG results
|
• Functional and individual performance measured based on pre-established goals and assigned specific weightings
|
• Payouts can range from 0% to 200% of target bonus based on performance
|
Changes to Annual Incentive Plan Design for 2018
|
• Consolidated OSG was added as a performance measure for all participants
|
• For all corporate participants other than the CEO and CFO, functional performance was added as a performance measure
|
• The weighting of financial performance in determining overall plan payouts was increased
|
• The maximum payout for segment presidents was reduced to 200%, by eliminating a separate
opportunity for an additional 25% payout based solely on segment organic income growth

Ms. Davidson and Mr. Gautier achieved stock ownership in excess of their respective guidelines in February 2019.
|
• |
The award was predicated upon the achievement of financial results that were subsequently the subject of a material restatement of L3’s financial statements;
|
• |
The executive’s fraud or willful misconduct was a significant contributing cause to the need for the restatement; and
|
• |
A smaller award would have been earned under the restated financial results.
|
• |
no business unit carries a significant portion of the Company’s risk profile;
|
• |
the Company’s compensation policies and practices are not structured differently from one business unit to another in any material respect;
|
• |
incentive compensation expense is not a significant percentage of the Company’s sales;
|
• |
the Company’s compensation programs do not vary significantly from the overall risk and reward structure of the Company;
|
• |
the Company’s long-term incentive awards are intended to align the interests of the Company’s executives and key employees with those of shareholders by linking a
meaningful portion of their compensation to value creation over a multi-year period (and, with respect to senior executives, by utilizing overlapping performance periods and multiple performance measures such as relative TSR and
cumulative EPS) to promote sustainable, long-term performance;
|
• |
the Company’s annual incentive awards, capped at 200% of target for executive officers, are based upon a variety of financial and nonfinancial performance measures,
which, in the Company’s view, reward performance without incentivizing inappropriate risk-taking; and
|
• |
the Company has policies and procedures that require material compensation programs adopted at the subsidiary and business unit level to be reviewed and approved by
senior corporate management to, among other things, ensure that none of the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ compensation programs encourage inappropriate risk-taking.

For Messrs. Kubasik and Miller, the amounts reported in the Stock Awards column for 2018 include the grant date fair values of RSAs granted to them in December 2018, in the
amounts of $10,000,067 and $1,300,007, respectively, as part of their target pay for 2019. These RSAs were granted in December 2018 (in lieu of being granted in February 2019), and Messrs. Kubasik and Miller were required to make
elections under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code to be taxed on the value of such grants in 2018 to mitigate potential excise taxes that may be applicable under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code in connection with the
L3 Harris Merger. For a further discussion, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Summary of 2019 Target Pay” beginning on page 29. If these RSAs had been granted in February 2019, the amounts reported for Messrs. Kubasik and
Miller in the Stock Awards column for 2018 would have been $4,800,006 and $500,023, respectively, and the amounts that would have been reported for them in the Total column for 2018 would have been $15,511,366 and $2,571,160,
respectively.

Represents the grant date fair value of stock options, calculated in accordance with the accounting standards for share-based compensation. See Note 18 to the audited
consolidated financial statements included in the Initial Form 10-K for a discussion of the assumptions used in calculating equity compensation expense in connection with stock options granted in 2018. For a discussion of the general
terms of our stock options, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Elements of 2018 Target Pay – Long-Term Incentives – Stock Options” on page 27.

Amounts reported in this column for 2018 represent: (a) amounts earned under the annual incentive plan for 2018 and (b) amounts earned under performance cash awards whose
performance period ended during 2018. The following table provides additional information regarding these amounts.

Amounts reported in this column represent the increase in the actuarial value of defined benefit plans and are substantially affected by changes in actuarial assumptions
made since 2015 as required under GAAP. Actuarial value computations for 2018 are based on assumptions discussed in Note 20 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Initial Form 10-K. Messrs. Kubasik and Miller
and Ms. Davidson do not participate in any of L3’s defined benefit plans because such plans were generally closed to new participants hired on or after January 1, 2007. None of the named executive officers earned above-market interest
on deferred compensation balances for any of the years indicated.

Represents long-term performance cash awards granted to the named executive officers. The final value of each award will vary based upon L3’s relative TSR achieved over the
three-year performance period beginning January 1, 2018 and ending December 31, 2020 in relation to TSR performance requirements established by the Compensation Committee of our Board (the “Committee”) in February 2018. The amounts
disclosed in the Estimated Future Payouts Under Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards columns represent the amounts of cash to be paid assuming achievement of the specific Threshold, Target or Maximum levels of performance established by the
Committee for these awards over the performance period. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Elements of 2018 Target Pay – Long-Term Incentives – Performance Awards” beginning on page 27 for a further discussion of the
performance cash awards. See “– Potential Payments Upon Change in Control or Termination of Employment – Effect of Change in Control or Termination of Employment Upon Long-Term Incentive Awards” beginning on page 51 for a discussion
concerning the effect of a change in control or termination of employment on outstanding performance cash awards.
|
(3) |
Represents performance units granted to the named executive officers, which are payable in shares of our Common Stock at the end of the performance period. The final number
of shares of our Common Stock issuable for each unit will vary based upon L3’s EPS achieved over the three-year performance period beginning January 1, 2018 and ending December 31, 2020 in relation to EPS performance requirements
established by the Committee in February 2018. The amounts disclosed in the Estimated Future Payouts Under Equity Incentive Plan Awards columns represent the number of shares of our Common Stock issuable assuming achievement of the
specific Threshold, Target or Maximum levels of performance established by the Committee for these units over the performance period. The amounts disclosed in the Grant Date Fair Value of Stock and Option Awards column represent the
grant date fair values of the performance unit awards assuming that the Target level of performance for the awards is achieved, as calculated in accordance with the accounting standards for share-based compensation. See “Compensation
Discussion and Analysis – Elements of 2018 Target Pay – Long-Term Incentives – Performance Awards” beginning on page 27 for a further discussion of the performance units. See “– Potential Payments Upon Change in Control or Termination

Represents RSUs granted to the named executive officers, which vest three years after the grant date. The amounts disclosed in the Grant Date Fair Value of Stock and Option
Awards column represent the grant date fair values of the RSU awards, as calculated in accordance with the accounting standards for share-based compensation. For a further discussion of our RSUs, see “Compensation Discussion and
Analysis – Elements of 2018 Target Pay – Long-Term Incentives – RSUs” on page 29. For a discussion concerning the effect of a change in control or termination of employment on outstanding RSUs, see “– Potential Payments Upon Change in
Control or Termination of Employment – Effect of Change in Control or Termination of Employment Upon Long-Term Incentive Awards” beginning on page 51.
|
(5) |
Represents stock options granted to the named executive officers. The awards have an exercise price equal to the closing price of our Common Stock on the grant date and
provide value to the recipient only if the price of our Common Stock increases after the grant date. Stock options have a term of ten years and vest in equal, annual increments over a three-year period starting with the first
anniversary of the grant date and, in the case of the options granted to Mr. Kubasik, are also subject to two separate vesting conditions based on L3’s 2018 financial
performance, which include L3 achieving consolidated EPS of at least $7.99 and consolidated FCF of at least $765 million, calculated on the same basis as the pre-established methodology used to calculate these measures under the annual
incentive plan for fiscal 2018 performance. With regard to the options granted to Mr. Kubasik, the Threshold level of performance reported in the table above assumes the satisfaction of only one of the financial performance conditions,
while the Target and Maximum levels of performance reported in the table above assume the satisfaction of both financial performance conditions. The amounts disclosed in the Grant Date Fair Value of Stock and Option Awards column
represent the grant date fair values of the option awards, as calculated in accordance with the accounting standards for share-based compensation. With regard to the options granted to Mr. Kubasik, the amount disclosed in the Grant Date
Fair Value of Stock and Option Awards column assumes that both of the financial performance conditions of his award are satisfied. For a further discussion of the stock options, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Elements of
2018 Target Pay – Long-Term Incentives – Stock Options” on page 27. For a discussion concerning the effect of a change in control or termination of employment on outstanding stock option awards, see “‑ Potential Payments Upon Change in Control or Termination of Employment – Effect of Change in Control or Termination of Employment Upon Long-Term Incentive Awards” beginning on page 51.
|
(6) |
Represents RSAs granted to Messrs. Kubasik and Miller in December 2018 as part of their target pay for 2019. These RSAs were granted in December 2018 (in lieu of being
granted in February 2019), and Messrs. Kubasik and Miller were required to make elections under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code to be taxed on the value of such grants in 2018, to mitigate potential excise taxes that may be
applicable under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code in connection with the L3 Harris Merger. The taxes payable by Messrs. Kubasik and Miller in connection with their Section 83(b) elections were satisfied through withholding
from the shares subject to their RSAs. For a further discussion, see Note 1 to the “2018 Option Exercises and Stock Vested” table on page 43. The RSAs otherwise vest three years after the grant date. The amounts disclosed in the
Grant Date Fair Value of Stock and Option Awards column represent the grant date fair values of the RSAs, as calculated in accordance with the accounting standards for share-based compensation. For a further discussion of the RSAs, see
“Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Summary of 2019 Target Pay” beginning on page 29. For a discussion concerning the effect of a change in control or termination of employment on outstanding RSAs, see “– Potential Payments Upon

In connection with our spin-off of Engility Holdings, Inc. on July 17, 2012, the number of shares subject to then outstanding option awards, and the exercise
price for the option awards, were adjusted to maintain the intrinsic value of each award as required pursuant to the terms of the stock-based compensation plans under which they were issued. The awards otherwise retained the original
terms and conditions after adjustment, except in the case of financial performance conditions, which were also adjusted to reflect the spin-off.
|
(2) |
Stock options generally vest in equal, annual increments over a three-year period starting with the first anniversary of the grant date, except that the options granted to
Mr. Kubasik on December 20, 2017 vest three years after the grant date. The options granted to Mr. Kubasik in 2018 are also subject to performance-based vesting conditions that have been fully satisfied. For a further discussion, see
“Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Elements of 2018 Target Pay – Long-Term Incentives – Stock Options” on page 27. For a discussion concerning the effect of a change in control or termination of employment on outstanding stock
option awards, see “– Potential Payments Upon Change in Control or Termination of Employment – Effect of Change in Control or Termination of Employment Upon Long–Term Incentive Awards” beginning on page 51.
|
(3) |
In the case of awards granted prior to December 2018, represents RSUs, which generally vest three years after the grant date. The RSUs granted during or prior to 2017 are
also subject to performance-based forfeiture conditions that have been fully satisfied. For a further discussion, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Satisfaction of Performance-Based Vesting Conditions for 2017 RSU Awards”
beginning on page 29. On the vesting date, each RSU generally converts into the right to receive one share of our Common Stock. For a discussion concerning the effect of a change in control or termination of employment on outstanding
RSU awards, see “– Potential Payments Upon Change in Control or Termination of Employment – Effect of Change in Control or Termination of Employment Upon Long-Term Incentive Awards” beginning on page 51. For a further discussion
concerning the effect of retirement eligibility on outstanding RSU awards, see Note 1 to the “2018 Option Exercises and Stock Vested” table on page 43.
|
(4) |
In the case of awards granted on December 14, 2018, represents RSAs granted to Messrs. Kubasik and Miller as part of their target pay for 2019. For a further discussion of
these awards, see Note 6 to the “2018 Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table beginning on page 39. For a discussion concerning the effect of a change in control or termination of employment on outstanding RSAs, see “– Potential Payments
Upon Change in Control or Termination of Employment – Effect of Change in Control or Termination of Employment Upon Long-Term Incentive Awards” beginning on page 51.
|
(5) |
The market value is based on the closing price of our Common Stock on December 31, 2018 of $173.66, multiplied by the number of shares or units, and does not include
accumulated cash dividend equivalents payable upon the vesting of RSUs, RSAs or performance units, as applicable.
|
(6) |
Reflects the number of shares of our Common Stock issuable under performance units granted in 2018 and 2017 assuming achievement of the Maximum level of performance for
these units. The Maximum level of performance is reported for the performance units because the Company’s performance from the beginning of the applicable performance period (January 1, 2018 for the units granted in 2018 and January 1,
2017 for the units granted in 2017) through December 31, 2018, measured against the applicable performance goals, exceeded the Target level of performance. For a further discussion of our performance units, see “Compensation Discussion
and Analysis – Elements of 2018 Target Pay – Long-Term Incentives – Performance Awards” beginning on page 27. For a discussion concerning the effect of a change in control or termination of employment on performance unit awards, see “–
Potential Payments Upon Change in Control or Termination of Employment – Effect of Change in Control or Termination of Employment Upon Long-Term Incentive Awards” beginning on page 51.

Represents shares withheld to satisfy taxes payable by Messrs. Kubasik and Miller under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code in accordance with their elections to be
taxed on the value of their RSA grants in 2018. For a further discussion, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Summary of 2019 Target Pay” beginning on page 29.
|
(b) |
To mitigate potential excise taxes that may be applicable under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code in connection with the L3 Harris Merger, on December 14, 2018, the
Committee approved the immediate vesting and settlement of 10,465 and 1,307 shares of our Common Stock for Messrs. Kubasik and Miller, respectively, representing 95% of the shares that they were expected to earn based on anticipated
results for their performance units for the three-year performance period ended December 31, 2018. This accelerated distribution was subject to clawback in the event that the final number of shares determined to have been earned as of
December 31, 2018 (based on actual performance for the three-year period ended December 31, 2018) was less than the number of shares previously distributed. In February 2019, the Committee determined that the final number of shares
earned as of December 31, 2018 exceeded the number of shares previously distributed, and distributed these remaining shares in February 2019.
|
(c) |
On February 22, 2018 and December 21, 2018, Ms. Davidson became eligible for qualified retirement under the terms of RSUs granted to her on February 21, 2017 and December
20, 2017, respectively. The shares underlying these RSU awards are deemed to have vested on the dates on which Ms. Davidson became eligible for qualified retirement thereunder. However, in accordance with the terms of the RSUs, the
underlying shares will not be delivered until the three-year anniversary of the respective dates on which the RSUs were granted, unless accelerated due to death, disability or a change in control. For a further discussion, see the “2018
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” table beginning on page 47, including Note 10 to such table, and “ – Potential Payments Upon Change in Control or Termination of Employment–Effect of Change of Control or Termination of Employment
Upon Long–Term Incentive Awards” beginning on page 51.

The present values of the accumulated benefits in the table were determined using the same assumptions that were used by L3 as of December 31, 2018 for financial reporting
purposes, including an effective discount rate of 4.48% and post-retirement mortality in accordance with the RP-2014 table (adjusted back to 2006), with mortality rates generally reduced by 10%, projected generationally with the 2017
Social Security Administration Intermediate-Cost Projections Scale. We used age 65, the normal retirement age under the pension plans and the supplemental executive retirement plan (or current age, if greater), to determine the present
value of the accumulated benefits in the table. For the other assumptions used in calculating the present value of the accumulated benefits, see Note 20 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Initial Form 10-K.
|
(2) |
None of Messrs. Kubasik and Miller nor Ms. Davidson participates in any of our defined benefit plans because these plans were generally closed to new participants hired on
or after January 1, 2007.
|
(3) |
Mr. D’Ambrosio has not yet met the eligibility requirements for early retirement under the retirement plans in which he participates.
|
(4) |
Employees are eligible to participate in the L3 Technologies, Inc. Pension Plan (the “Corporate Pension Plan”) after one year of service and upon attaining 21 years of
age; however, employees hired on or after January 1, 2007 are not eligible to participate in the Corporate Pension Plan. Participants are fully vested after five years of service, and there is no partial vesting. Participants are
eligible for early retirement benefits after age 55, if they have ten years of eligibility service. The annual pension benefit is equal to 1.5% of Final Average Earnings (up to Covered Compensation), plus 1.75% of Final Average
Earnings in excess of Covered Compensation, for each plan year (partial and completed months) of accrual service; provided, that no accrual service is credited after December 31, 2018. For those participants who are eligible to retire
early, the early retirement reduction factor is 1/180 for each of the first 60 months prior to age 65 and 1/360 for each of the next 60 months. The Corporate Pension Plan provides for a number of payment options including a single life
annuity (normal form for single participants), a qualified 50% joint and survivor annuity (normal form for married participants), other joint and survivor options, period-certain and continuous options, and a level income option. For
purposes of the above description: (1) “Covered Compensation” is equal to the average of the Social Security Wage Bases for 35 calendar years ending with the year the participant attains Social Security retirement age; however, upon
separation for service, Covered Compensation is determined as of the date of separation; (2) “Earnings” are defined as base pay, overtime, commissions and performance-based cash bonuses (excluding long-term incentive awards payable in
cash) and are limited to the IRS earnings limit of $275,000 in 2018 and $280,000 in 2019; (3) “Final Average Earnings” is equal to the average of the participant’s earnings for the five calendar years during the ten calendar years prior
to date of termination that result in the highest average earnings amount, but not less than the Final Average Earnings as of December 31, 2018; and (4) “Social Security Wage Base” means the wage level at which social security tax is
applied for a given year.
|
(5) |
The provisions of the L3 Technologies, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”) generally mirror the provisions of the tax-qualified pension plans (the
“Qualified Pension Plans”) under which each participant accrues a benefit. However, the SERP takes into consideration earnings above the annual IRS earnings limit and provides a non-qualified benefit to those participants based on those
earnings in excess of the IRS limit or the benefit limits under Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code.
|
(6) |
Mr. Gautier is eligible for early retirement under the retirement plans in which he participates.
|
(7) |
Employees are eligible to participate in the L3 Link Simulation and Training Retirement Plan (the “Link Pension Plan”) if (a) they participated in a specific component of
the Raytheon Pension Plan on February 10, 2000 and became employees of L3 Link Training and Simulation on February 11, 2000, (b) they were an employee of Raytheon on February 10, 2000 and became a full-time employee of L3 Link Training and Simulation after February 11, 2000 but on or before August 31, 2000 or (c) they were hired before January 1, 2007 in a
pension eligible organization and have met the one year of service requirement to participate in the Link Pension Plan. Employees hired on or after January 1, 2007 are not eligible to participate in the Link Pension Plan. Participants
are fully vested after five years of service, and there is no partial vesting. Participants are eligible for early retirement benefits after age 55, if they have five years of eligibility service. The annual pension benefit is equal
to 1.5% of Final Average Earnings, less 0.6% of Final Average Earnings up to Covered Compensation, for each plan year (partial and completed months) of benefit service up to 35 years, plus 0.5% of Final Average Earnings for each plan
year (partial and completed months) of benefit service in excess of 35 years; provided, that no benefit service is credited after December 31, 2018. For those participants that are eligible to retire early, the early retirement
reduction factor is the smaller of (a) the actuarial equivalent or (b) 6% for each year prior to the participant’s normal retirement date for Social Security purposes. Unreduced early retirement is available if retirement is within
three years prior to Social Security normal retirement age and following 10 years of continuous service. The Link Pension Plan provides for a number of payment options including a single life annuity (normal form for single
participants), a qualified 50% joint and survivor annuity (normal form for married participants), other joint and survivor options, a period-certain and continuous option, a period-certain option, and a level income option. For
purposes of the above description, (1) “Covered Compensation” is equal to the average of the Social Security Wage Bases for 35 calendar years ending with the year the participant attains Social Security retirement age; however, upon
separation for service, Covered Compensation is determined as of the date of separation; (2) “Earnings” are defined as base pay, overtime, and performance-based cash bonuses (excluding long-term incentive awards payable in cash), and
are limited to the IRS earnings limit of $275,000 in 2017 and $280,000 in 2018; (3) “Final Average Earnings” is equal to the average of the participant’s earnings for the five calendar years during the ten calendar years prior to date
of termination that result in the highest average earnings amount, but not less than the Final Average Earnings as of December 31, 2018; and (4) “Social Security Wage Base” means the wage level at which social security tax is applied
for a given year.

For long-term incentive awards granted prior to 2017, Qualified Retirement is defined as a termination of employment that satisfies all of the following: (a) the executive
terminates employment more than one year after the grant date of the applicable award (or in the case of performance awards, one year after the first day of the applicable performance period), (b) the executive terminates employment on
or after attaining age 65 and completing at least five years of service (which must be continuous through the date of termination except for a single break in service that does not exceed one year in length), (c) the executive is not
subject to termination for cause by the Company at the time of the employee’s termination and (d) the executive is available for consultation following the termination of employment at the reasonable request of the Company. Long-term
incentive awards granted in or after 2017 use the same definition for Qualified Retirement as set forth above, except that with respect to clause (b), the age referenced therein has been reduced from 65 to 60, and the requirement to
have completed five years of service at the time of termination does not apply in the case of an executive who terminates employment on or after attaining age 65.
|
(2) |
The vesting of RSUs and stock options granted to Mr. Kubasik on December 20, 2017 is subject to automatic acceleration in the event Mr. Kubasik’s employment is terminated
by L3 without cause or he terminates his employment for good reason. All other unvested stock options and RSUs held by Mr. Kubasik and the other NEOs are forfeited upon a termination by the Company without cause.
|
(3) |
In the case of RSUs or RSAs granted after October 12, 2018, a change in control has no immediate effect, but vesting and delivery of the full award is accelerated in the
event a termination without cause, a termination for good reason or a Qualified Retirement occurs within two years following the change in control.
|
(4) |
In connection with a change in control, the Compensation Committee has the discretion to increase this payment (but not above the benefit payable for the Maximum level of
performance achievement) to the extent (if any) that the Compensation Committee is able to assess that the Company’s progress towards achievement of the applicable performance measures, at or prior to the change in control, exceeds the
Target performance level requirement as adjusted to reflect the reduced service period.

Severance, medical benefits, life insurance premiums and outplacement benefits in connection with a change in control are payable only if the named executive officer (a) is
involuntarily terminated (other than for cause, death or disability) at the request of the acquirer or otherwise in anticipation of, or during the two-year period following, the change in control or (b) voluntarily terminates employment
for good reason during the two-year period following the change in control. For purposes of calculating the amount of these benefits in connection with a change in control, we assumed that such a termination of employment occurred on
December 31, 2018. Receipt of these benefits is conditioned upon the named executive officer’s execution of an agreement with the Company containing protective covenants and a customary release of all claims against the Company. For a
further discussion, see “– Change in Control Severance Plan” on page 49.
|
(2) |
As discussed in “– Change in Control Severance Plan” on page 49, the change in control severance amount for each named executive officer is a multiple of base salary and
average annual incentive plan payouts for the three years prior to the year of termination (or target bonus, as applicable). While the Change in Control Severance Plan also provides for an additional annual incentive plan payout for the
year of termination, such amounts for each named executive officer are not reflected in this table because the amounts earned under the annual incentive plan for 2018 are already included in the “Summary Compensation Table” on page 36
in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column for 2018. In the event that these payments, when aggregated with all other change in control payments, would subject the named executive officer to an excise tax under IRS
regulations, then these payments will be reduced to the highest amount for which no excise tax would be due, but only if the reduced amount is greater than the unreduced amount net of the excise tax.
|
(3) |
Severance, medical benefits and outplacement benefits in connection with a termination of employment without cause that is unrelated to a change in control is conditioned
upon the named executive officer’s execution of an agreement with the Company containing protective covenants and a customary release of all claims against the Company. For a further discussion, see “– Executive Severance Plan” on page
50.
|
(4) |
As discussed in “– Executive Severance Plan” on page 50, the severance payable to each named executive officer in connection with a termination of employment without cause
that is unrelated to a change in control is a multiple of base salary and target bonus. While the Executive Severance Plan also provides for an additional annual incentive plan payout for the year of termination if such termination
occurs after the end of the second quarter of our fiscal year, such amounts for each named executive officer are not reflected in this table because the amounts earned under the annual incentive plan for 2018 are already included in the
“Summary Compensation Table” on page 36 in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column for 2018.
|
(5) |
Medical benefits and life insurance premiums are based on the applicable multiple of the premiums paid by the Company in 2018 to provide the named executive officer (and
the named executive officer’s spouse and dependents, as applicable) with medical benefits and life insurance.
|
(6) |
Under both our Change in Control Severance Plan and our Executive Severance Plan, a named executive officer is entitled to reasonable outplacement services. The amount
disclosed represents the Company’s reasonable estimate of the cost to provide this benefit.
|
(7) |
In the event of a change in control, death, disability, termination of employment by the Company without cause or a Qualified Retirement, named executive officers who were
receiving Company-paid financial planning services immediately prior to such event are entitled to continue receiving such services for one year following the event at the Company’s expense. The amount disclosed for each named
executive officer is based on the amount paid by the Company in 2018 for such officer’s financial planning services, and would be payable by the Company not only in connection with a change in control, death, disability or termination
of employment by the Company without cause (as disclosed in the table), but also upon a Qualified Retirement. Neither Mr. D’Ambrosio nor Ms. Davidson elected to receive financial planning services in 2018.
|
(8) |
As disclosed above and except with respect to stock options granted to Mr. Kubasik in December 2017, in the event of any termination of employment other than death or
disability, unvested stock options (or all stock options, in the case of a termination for cause) are forfeited. Accordingly, stock options are not quantified in the table above with respect to any termination of employment event other
than in connection with a change in control, or upon death or disability. With respect to the stock options granted to Mr. Kubasik in December 2017, the vesting of such options accelerates not only in the event of a change in control,
death or disability, but also in the event of a termination of employment without cause or for good reason. However, no value for such acceleration is included in the table for Mr. Kubasik because the per share exercise price of such
options ($194.10) exceeded the closing price of our Common Stock ($173.66) on December 31, 2018.
|
(9) |
The value attributable to the acceleration of unvested stock options is based upon the number of unvested stock options multiplied by the amount by which the closing price
of our Common Stock ($173.66) on December 31, 2018 exceeded the per share exercise price of the option.
|
(10) |
As disclosed above, in the event of the named executive officer’s Qualified Retirement, RSUs are deemed to have vested, but the underlying Common Stock and accrued cash
dividend equivalents remain undelivered and unpaid until the end of the original vesting period. Except with respect to RSUs granted to Mr. Kubasik in December 2017 as described in Note 12 below, in the event of any termination of
employment other than death or disability, the RSUs are forfeited. Accordingly, the RSUs are not quantified in the table above with respect to any termination of employment event other than in connection with a change in control, or
upon death or disability. In addition, the amounts disclosed in the table above exclude the value attributable to the accelerated delivery and payment upon a change in control, death, disability or termination without cause of shares
and dividend equivalents underlying Retirement Eligible RSU Awards because these amounts are already included in the “2018 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” table on page 47 in the Aggregate Balance at Last Fiscal Year End column.
|
(11) |
As disclosed above, a change in control has no immediate effect on vesting or delivery of shares underlying RSAs, but vesting and delivery of the full award is accelerated
in the event a termination without cause, a termination for good reason or a Qualified Retirement occurs within two years following the change in control. For purposes of calculating the value attributable to the acceleration of
unvested RSAs in connection with a change in control, we assumed that such a termination of employment occurred on December 31, 2018.
|
(12) |
The value attributable to the acceleration of unvested RSUs and RSAs is based upon the sum of (a) number of shares underlying the awards multiplied by the closing price of
our Common Stock ($173.66) on December 31, 2018 and (b) the accrued cash dividend equivalents underlying the awards as of December 31, 2018. The value disclosed for Mr. Kubasik includes $1,073,566 attributable to the acceleration of
RSUs granted to him on December 20, 2017. This acceleration would occur not only in the event of a change in control, death or disability or termination of employment without cause (as disclosed in the table), but also in the event Mr.
Kubasik terminates his employment for good reason.
|
(13) |
As disclosed above, in the event of the named executive officer’s death, disability, Qualified Retirement or termination by the Company without cause, a prorated portion of
the performance awards is forfeited, and the remaining portion is not delivered or paid until the end of the original performance period based on actual performance for the full performance period. In the event of any other termination
of employment, the performance awards are forfeited. Accordingly, the performance awards are not quantified in the table above with respect to any termination of employment event other than in connection with a change in control.
|
(14) |
As disclosed above, in the event of a change in control, a prorated portion of the unvested performance awards (reflecting the reduced service period) is subject to
immediate vesting and delivery. Following the change in control, the remaining portion of the awards is subject to (1) immediate vesting of the full award in the case of a termination without cause or for good reason, (2) immediate
vesting of a prorated portion of the award in the case of death, disability or a Qualified Retirement or (3) normal vesting of the full award upon continued employment through the original three-year vesting period. For purposes of
calculating the value attributable to the acceleration of performance awards in connection with a change in control, we assumed that the executive was terminated without cause on December 31, 2018.
|
(15) |
The value attributable to the acceleration of performance units is based upon the sum of (a) the number of shares issuable assuming a Target level of performance
achievement multiplied by the closing price of our Common Stock ($173.66) on December 31, 2018 and (b) the accrued cash dividend equivalents underlying such number of shares as of December 31, 2018. The value attributable to the
acceleration of performance cash awards is based upon the amount of cash payable assuming a Target level of performance achievement. As disclosed above, the Compensation Committee has the discretion to increase the number of shares
issuable or the amount of cash payable up to the number of shares issuable or amount of cash payable assuming the Maximum level of performance achievement based on the Compensation Committee’s assessment of the Company’s progress
towards achievement of the applicable performance measures at or prior to the change in control, but only if such assessment is that the Target performance level would be exceeded.

Our CEO’s total annual compensation for 2018, as reflected in the Summary Compensation Table on page 36, was $25,511,433.
|
- |
Our median employee’s total annual compensation for 2018, calculated using the same methodology we used in the Summary Compensation Table with respect to our named
executive officers, was $80,692.
|
- |
The resulting CEO pay ratio for 2018 is approximately 316:1.
|
- |
As described under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Summary of 2019 Target Pay” beginning on page 29, to mitigate the potential impact of Section 280G in connection with the L3 Harris Merger, the Committee approved, for certain executive officers
including our CEO, the acceleration of annual LTI awards that would otherwise have been granted in February 2019 to December 2018. Had the granting of these awards not been accelerated, our CEO’s total annual compensation for 2018
would have been $15,511,366, resulting in a CEO pay ratio of approximately 192:1.

Each non-employee director received on May 8, 2018, the day after the 2018 annual meeting of shareholders, an award of RSUs having a grant date fair value of $145,000,
calculated in accordance with the accounting standards for share-based compensation. The RSUs vest one year after the grant date (or on the date of the 2019 annual meeting of shareholders, if earlier), subject to acceleration in the
event of death, permanent disability or a change in control. Regardless of vesting, the RSUs will not be converted into shares until the earlier of (a) the date on which the recipient ceases to be a director or (b) a change in control
that satisfies specified requirements set forth in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Dividend equivalents are accrued in the form of additional RSUs with the same vesting and delivery terms as the underlying RSUs.

Represents awards, including stock options, RSUs, RSAs and performance units issuable under the L3 Technologies, Inc. Amended and Restated 2008 Long Term Performance Plan
(the “2008 LTPP”) and the L3 Technologies, Inc. Amended and Restated 2008 Directors Stock Incentive Plan (the “2008 DSIP”). The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in respect of performance units has been calculated based on
the assumption that the maximum levels of performance applicable to the performance units will be achieved.
|

The calculation of the weighted average exercise price excludes the effect of the RSU, RSA and performance unit awards, which have been granted to employees at no cost.
|

Includes 3.3 million and 7.0 million shares available for future issuance under the L3 Technologies, Inc. 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2009 ESPP”) and the 2008
LTPP, respectively. For purposes of calculating the number of shares available for future issuance under the 2008 LTPP, each share of our Common Stock issued under a “full value” award (that is, awards other than stock options or
stock appreciation rights) is counted as 4.26 shares, in the case of awards granted on or after February 23, 2016.

|
(2) |
Shares that are deemed to be beneficially owned by the individual either by virtue of the individual’s right to acquire the shares upon the exercise of outstanding stock
options within 60 days from April 15, 2019 and, in the case of non-employee directors, by virtue of the fact that shares issuable upon termination of Board service under outstanding restricted stock unit awards have vested or will
vest within 60 days of April 15, 2019.
|
(3) |
In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and
only such person) by reason of the acquisition rights described above. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power
