Item 8.01. Other Events
     On May 6, 2008, Robert Mehrabian, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (the “Company”), established a stock trading plan in accordance with the guidelines of Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and the Company’s policy regarding stock transactions by Company insiders. The transactions under this plan will be disclosed publicly through Form 144 and Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
     This trading plan is not meant to reflect a lack of confidence in the Company or its future by Dr. Mehrabian, but is designed for estate planning purposes and to allow Dr. Mehrabian to monetize a portion of his equity position in a systematic, nondiscretionary manner with the goal of minimal market impact and compliance with regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
     Under Dr. Mehrabian’s 10b5-1 plan, which became effective on May 6, 2008, Dr. Mehrabian may sell shares of the Company’s common stock and may exercise stock options and sell the underlying shares at prevailing market prices (but not below predetermined target prices). The total number of beneficially-owned shares (including shares underlying options) subject to Dr. Mehrabian’s plan is 315,376. These exercises and sales are expected to take place periodically through October 2008.
