Portfolio ChangesContinued to Deliver Strong Financial Results
In 2015, we made several strategic moves to reshape our portfolio and position the Corporation for the future. We closed on our acquisition2017 was another outstanding year of Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, a world leader in the design, manufacture and support of military and commercial helicopters, and welcomed nearly 15,000 additional members to the Lockheed Martin team. We share a legacy of innovation and performance with Sikorsky that has shaped the history of aviation for more than a century. Together, we will provide the best value for our customers, employees and stockholders.

We completed a strategic review of our realigned government IT and technical services businessesachievement at Information Systems & Global Solutions (IS&GS). This led to a definitive agreement to combine IS&GS with Leidos Holdings, Inc. as part of a Reverse Morris Trust transaction. The agreement will form a new separate company that aligns our exceptional IS&GS business with an industry leader, and positions the organization for growth and long-term success.

Strong Financial Performance
2015 was an exceptional year for Lockheed Martin. We delivered on our commitmentsOur stockholders saw a total return of 32 percent – contributing to customers, and our performance and market position yielded strong returns for our stockholders. We increased net earnings per share and generated more than 16an impressive 307 percent total stockholder return including $1.9over the past five years. We continued our efforts to return cash to stockholders through dividends and ongoing share repurchases – returning over $4 billion in dividends. This was our 13th consecutive year of double-digit dividend rate growth. And, as always, we achieved these results while remaining committed to stockholders throughout the ethics, integrity and values that are the hallmark of Lockheed Martin.year.

Enhanced Corporate Governance and Refreshed Board Member to RetireMembership
AtWe stayed engaged with stockholders and other key stakeholders during 2017. In response to their valuable feedback, the Board proactively changed the corporation’s governance practices to give stockholders the right to amend the bylaws.

Over the past four years, we have added five new independent directors, including Jeh C. Johnson and James D. Taiclet, Jr. who joined the Board on January 1 of this year’s meeting, Gwendolyn S. Kingyear. We will continue to recruit directors who offer diverse perspectives, strong business and professional experience, and unique skills to the Board. We are grateful to James M. Loy who will retire from the Board upon the expiration of his term at the 2018 Annual Meeting. Jim made many contributions to the Board during his tenure.

Committed to Innovation and Long-Term Growth
Throughout the year, the Board is actively engaged in developing corporate strategy and participating in our long-range planning. The corporation made $1.2 billion of capital expenditures in 2017. We plan to increase capital expenditures in 2018 and invest more in research and development to create new technologies that will help drive long-term growth. We are committed to meeting our customers’ needs, pursuing opportunities to grow our business and returning value to stockholders. We also remain focused on ensuring that our strategy for future success is reflected in our executive pay programs through a mix of short- and long-term incentives that align with the corporation’s long-range plan. At the same time, we are steadfast in maintaining our longstanding commitment to corporate citizenship and sustainability.

Board’s Responsiveness to Stockholder Feedback

Your vote is important to us. At the 2017 annual meeting, members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee(Governance Committee) received an average of 82 percent of the votes cast, which was lower than the Corporation’s other directors and our historical voting results. We attributed this to the restrictions in the Corporation’s Bylaws (Bylaws) on the ability of the Corporation’s stockholders to amend the Bylaws. Taking this into account and following a dialogue with many of our largest stockholders during 2017 and a deliberative review of the issue, the Board proactively changed the Bylaws in December 2017 to give the Corporation’s stockholders the right to amend the Bylaws. See “Stockholder Right to Amend Bylaws” on page 10. We believe that this complements our existing suite of stockholder rights and further strengthens our governance standards. The Bylaws, as amended, are available on the Corporation’s website atwww.lockheedmartin.com/corporate-governance.

Proxy Summary

Long-Standing, Active Investor Engagement Program

We actively engage with our investors as part of our annual corporate governance cycle via email, telephone and in person meetings. Our engagement includes the direct involvement of senior management. Stockholders and others also may communicate with our Lead Director and other non-management directors. During 2015, we held 37 meetings with our largest institutional investors and other interested stockholders. These stockholders represented approximately 40 percent of the Corporation’s outstanding shares. We discussed our governance and compensation practices overall and sought feedback on proposed changes to our annual incentive program. Management shared investor feedback directly with the Board of Directors.

In response to investor feedback received during 2015, we enhanced our corporate governance disclosure in this Proxy Statement by providing additional information regarding the:

Board evaluation and refreshment process;
Board’s role in enterprise risk management;
Board’s oversight efforts in corporate responsibility and environmental stewardship; and
Role and responsibilities of the Audit Committee.

2015 Say-on-Pay Vote Results

At our 2015 Annual Meeting, more than 94 percent of the votes cast by our stockholders approved our say-on-pay proposal. This vote represents our highest approval rate to date.

As part of our ongoing efforts to align our compensation programs with the interests of our stockholders, we consider the input of our stockholders and emerging best practices in adopting our executive pay programs. Most investor feedback related to our pay governance and executive compensation programs was positive. We will continue to engage with our stockholders in 2016.

2015Executive Compensation Highlights

2017 Pay and Performance

A substantial portion of compensation paid to our named executive officers (NEOs) is performance-based. We use the 50th percentile of our comparator group to set target compensation but allow for payments to exceed or fall below the target level based upon actual performance. Due toIn light of our record levels ofstrong short- and long-term performance, in 2015, our short-2017 annual and 2015-2017 long-term incentive plans paid out above thetargets.the targets. This outcome is consistent with our pay for performancepay-for-performance philosophy to set pay and targets at market levels, but pay incentive compensation to reflect actual performance.

The Corporation’s strategy is reviewed and implemented in a two-year cycle. The first year is devoted to a review and development of an overall strategy and the second year is devoted to refining and assessing the strategy. The cycle then begins again in the following year.

Positions of Chairman and Chief Executive OfficerCEO

The Board regularly reviews its leadership structure in light of the Corporation’s then current needs, governance trends, internal assessments of Board effectiveness and other factors. The Board reviews and considers whether the positions of Chairman and CEO should be combined or separated as part of an ongoing review of the effectiveness of the Corporation’s governance structure.

The Board believes that it must be independent and must provide strong and effective oversight, butoversight. The Board also believes that the independent Board members should have the flexibility to respond to changing circumstances and choose the model that best fits the then-currentcurrent situation.

As a result, the roles of Chairman and CEO have been split from time to time to facilitate leadership transitions, while at other times the roles have been combined.

The Board believes that, at the present time, the Corporation is best served by allocating governance responsibilities between a combined Chairman and CEO and an independent Lead Director with robust responsibilities.robustresponsibilities. This structure allows the Corporation to present a single face to our customers through the combinedChairmancombined Chairman and CEO position while at the same time providing an active role and voice for the independent directors through the Lead Director.

The Board conducts a self-assessment of its performance and effectiveness as well as that of its committees on an annual basis. The self-assessments help track progress in certain areas targeted for improvement from year to year and to identify ways to enhance the Board’s and committees’ effectiveness. For 2015, each director completed a written questionnaire. The questions were open-ended to solicit candid feedback. The collective ratings and comments are compiled, summarized and presented to the Governance Committee and the full Board.

Governance
Committee Review

Each year the Governance Committee recommends to the Board the slate of directors to propose as nominees for election by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting. The process for identifying and evaluating candidates to be nominated to the Board starts with an evaluation of a candidate by the Chairman of the Governance Committee followed by the entire Governance Committee and the Chairman of the Board. The Governance Committee has retained a third party firm to assist in the identification and evaluation of potential director candidates.

The Board seeks a diverse group of candidates who, at a minimum, possess the background, skills, expertise and time to make a significant contribution to the Board, the Corporation and its stockholders. The Governance Guidelines list criteria against which candidates may be judged. TheIn addition, the Governance Committee considers, among other things:

Inputinput from the Board’s self-assessment process to prioritize areas of expertise that were identified;
Investorinvestor feedback and perceptions;
Thethe candidates’ skills and competencies to ensure they are aligned to the Corporation’s future strategic challenges and opportunities;
The futurethe needs of the Board in light of recent and anticipated director retirements;Board vacancies; and
Aa balance between public company and government customer-related experience.

During the process of identifying and selecting director nominees, the Governance Committee screens and recommends candidates for nomination by the full Board. The Bylaws provide that the size of the Board may range from 10 to 14 members.

Director candidates also may be identified by stockholders and will be evaluated under the same criteria applied to other director nominees and considered by the Governance Committee. Information on the process and requirements for stockholder nominees may be found in Sections 1.10 and 1.11 of our Bylaws on the Corporation’s website atwww.lockheedmartin.com/corporate-governance.

Assignments

In February of each year, the Governance Committee reviews the membership, tenure, leadership and leadershipcommitments of each of the committees and considers possible changes given the additional qualifications and skill sets of newer members on the Board or a desire for committee rotation or refreshment. The Governance Committee also takes into consideration the membership requirements and responsibilities set forth in each of the respective committee charters and the Governance Guidelines as well as any upcoming vacancies on the Board due to our mandatory retirement age. The Governance Committee recommends to the Board any proposed changes to committee assignments and leadership to be made effective at the next annual meeting of stockholders.

Director Overboarding Policy

The Board recognizes that its members benefit from service on the boards of other companies and it encourages such service. The Board also believes, however, that it is critical that directors dedicate sufficient time to their service on the Corporation’s Board. Therefore, the Governance Guidelines provide that, without obtaining the approval of the Governance Committee:

A director may not serve on the boards of more than four other public companies;companies.
 

If the director is an active chief executive officer or equivalent of another public company, the director may not serve on the boards of more than two other public companies;companies. For this purpose, the Board considers public company board positions required for disclosure by the U.S. rules on proxy statements. We use this definition because it is consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requirement for disclosure of board service. For companies organized outside of the U.S., the Board considers the time commitment of the particular board and other relevant factors to determine if these should be taken into account in an overboarding assessment.
 

No member of the Audit Committee may serve on more than two other public company audit committees; andcommittees.
 

No member of the Management Development and Compensation Committee (Compensation Committee) may serve on more than three other public company compensation committees.

Directors must notify the CEO, Lead Director and Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary before accepting an invitation to serve on the board of any other public company. The Governance Committee reviews and determines whether the position would affect the director’s ability to serve on the Corporation’s Board.

Majority Voting Policy for Director Elections

The Corporation’s Charter and Bylaws provide for simple majority voting. Pursuant to the Governance Guidelines, in any uncontested election of directors, any incumbent director who receives more votes “AGAINST” than votes “FOR” is required to offer his or her resignation for Board consideration.

Upon receipt of a resignation of a director tendered as a result of a failed stockholder vote, the Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action is recommended. In considering the tendered resignation, the Board will consider the Governance Committee’s recommendation as well as any other factors it deems relevant, which may include:

Thethe qualifications of the director whose resignation has been tendered;
 

Thethe director’s past and expected future contributions to the Corporation;
 

Thethe overall composition of the Board and its committees;
 

Whetherwhether accepting the tendered resignation would cause the Corporation to fail to meet any applicable rule or regulation (including NYSE listing standards and the federal securities laws); and
 

Thethe percentage of outstanding shares represented by the votes cast at the Annual Meeting.

annual meeting.

Any director whose resignation has been tendered may not participate in the deliberations of the Governance Committee or in the Board’s consideration of the Governance Committee’srecommendation with respect to such director. In the event that a majority of the members of the Governance Committee have offered to resign as a result of their failure to receive the required vote for election by the stockholders, then the independent members of the Governance Committee who have not offered to resign, without further action by the Board, will constitute a committee of the Board for the purpose of considering the offered resignations and will recommend to the Board whether to accept or reject those offers and, if appropriate, make a recommendation to take other actions. If there are no such independent directors, then all of the independent directors, excluding the director whose offer to resign is being considered, without further action of the Board, will constitute a committee of the Board to consider each offer to resign, make a recommendation to the Board to accept or reject that offer and, if appropriate, make a recommendation to take other actions.

The Board will act on a tendered resignation within 90 days following certification of the stockholder vote for the annual meeting and will promptly disclose its decision and rationale as to whether to accept the resignation (or the reasons for rejecting the resignation, if applicable) in a press release, in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC),SEC, or by other public announcement, including a posting on the Corporation’s website.

If a director’s resignation is accepted by the Board, or if a nominee for director who is not an incumbent director is not elected, the Board may fill the resulting vacancy or may decrease the size of the Board pursuant to the Corporation’s Bylaws. The Board may not fill any vacancy so created with a director who was nominated but not elected at the annual meeting by the vote required under the Corporation’s Bylaws.

During these reviews, the executive leadership team discusses succession plans for key positions, and identifies top talent for development in future leadership roles. In addition to long-term succession planning, we have a contingency plan if the CEO were to depart unexpectedly.

The CEO’s tenure is at the discretion of the Board and in exercising that discretion, the Board is free to consider all relevant factors and not limited to age as a single determining factor.

Board Role in Enterprise Risk Management

Our risk management philosophy is to balance risk and reward within management and the Board’s risk tolerance. This is accomplished through risk management practices, core values and our codeCode of conduct,Conduct, each of which reinforces a risk transparent culture. The Board and its committees receive risk updates throughout the year. Executive management provides updates on risks managed at the enterpriseEnterprise level. Business areasegment management provides updates on risks to individual business areasegment objectives.


The Board considers the full spectrum of business risks including strategic, operational, financial, reputationreputational and compliance risks. Each year management develops an “Enterprise heat map” that is intended to identify the Corporation’s most significant Enterprise level risks. The list of risks is communicated to senior leaders throughout the Corporation and mitigation plans are assigned to subject matter experts. The Audit Committee is briefed on the risk identification process, the risks identified and on changes in the risk profile from year to year. Oversight of risk drivers and mitigation is assigned to the full Board unless delegated to one of the standing committees. The Audit Committee reviews our policies and practices with respect to risk assessment and risk management, identification and oversight of the Corporation’s major financial risk exposures and the steps that have been taken to monitor and control such exposures.

Effective Stockholder Engagement

Accountability to our stockholders is an important component of the Corporation’s success. We recognize the value of building informed relationships with our investors that promote further transparency and accountability. More than 94 percent of the votes cast at our 2017 annual meeting approved our Say-on-Pay proposal. While proxy voting is one direct way to influence corporate behavior, proactive engagement with our investors can be effective and impactful. Investor views are communicated to the Board and are instrumental in the development of our governance, compensation and sustainability policies and informs our business strategy.

During 2017, we had 27 engagements by telephone conference and/ or written correspondence with our largest institutional investors and other significant stockholders. We engaged with investors about an array of governance topics, including stockholders’ right to amend the Corporation’s Bylaws and Board composition. Many investors considered the right to amend our Bylaws to be a fundamental right. In response, we made that right available through an amendment to the Bylaws. The Board will continue to seek investor input on its governance practices in furtherance of enhancing long-term stockholder value.

Investor Engagement Cycle

Stockholder Right to Amend Bylaws

Following a dialogue with many of our largest investors and a deliberative review of the issue during the past year, the Board proactively changed the Bylaws in December 2017 to give the Corporation’s stockholders the right to amend the Bylaws. Theauthority of the stockholders and the Board to amend the Bylaws is subject to the provisions of the Corporation’s charter and applicable statutes. (Our Bylaws can be found on the Corporation’s website atwww.lockheedmartin.com/corporate-governance.)

Proxy Access

Our Bylaws permit a stockholder or a group of up to 20 stockholders who together have owned at least three percent of the Corporation’s outstanding common stock continuously for three years to nominate for election by the Corporation’s stockholders andinclude in the Corporation’s proxy solicitation materials for its annual meeting up to the greater of two directors or 20 percent of the number of directors in office at the time of the proxy access deadline described on page 77.

Stockholder Right to Call Special Meeting

Any stockholder who individually owns 10 percent, or stockholders who in the aggregate own 25 percent, of the outstanding common stock may demand the calling of a special meeting to consider any business properly brought before the stockholders. Our Bylaws do not restrict the timing of a request for a special meeting. The only subject matter restriction is that we are not required to call a special meeting to consider a matter that is substantially the same as a matter votedmattervoted on at a special meeting within the preceding 12 months unless requested by a majority of all stockholders. The Board believes that our current governance practice strikes an appropriate balance between the right of stockholders tocallto call a special meeting and the interests of the Corporation and its stockholders in promoting the appropriate use of company resources. The 25 percent threshold is the most prevalent standard among the companies in our comparator group. The Board added the

No Poison Pill

The Corporation does not have a Stockholder Rights Plan, otherwise known as a “Poison Pill.” Through our Governance Guidelines, the Board has communicated that it has no intentionof adopting one at this time. The Board has indicated that, if it were to adopt a Stockholder Rights Plan, the Board would seek stockholder ratification within 12 months of the date of adoption.

Director Independence

ElevenAll of our current directors are independent under applicable NYSE listing standards.standards, except Ms. Hewson. Under the NYSE listing standards and our Governance Guidelines, a director is not independent if the director has a direct or indirect material relationship with the Corporation. The Governance Committee annually reviews the independence of all directors and reports its findings to the full Board. To assist in this review, the Board has adopted director independence guidelines that are included in our Governance Guidelines, which are available on ourthe Corporation’s website atwww.lockheedmartin.com/corporate-governance.corporate-governance.

Our director independence guidelines set forth certain relationships between the Corporation and directors and their immediate family members or affiliated entities, which the Board, in its judgment, has deemed to be material or immaterial for purposes of assessing a director’s independence. In the event a director has a relationship with the Corporation that is not addressed in the independence guidelines, the independent members of the Board determine whether the relationship is material.

The Board has determined that the following directors are independent: Daniel F. Akerson, Nolan D. Archibald, Rosalind G. Brewer, David B. Burritt, Bruce A. Carlson, James O. Ellis, Jr., Thomas J. Falk, GwendolynIlene S. King,Gordon, Jeh C. Johnson, James M. Loy, Joseph W. Ralston and James D. Taiclet, Jr. The Board determined that Rosalind G. Brewer and Anne Stevens.Stevens, who resigned in October 2017 and November 2017, respectively, were independent while each served on the Board. Marillyn A. Hewson is an employee of the Corporation and is not independent under the NYSE listing standards or our Governance Guidelines. In determining that each of the non-management directors is independent, the Board considered the relationships described under “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions of Directors, Executive Officers and 5 Percent Stockholders,” on page 15,12, which it determined were immaterial to theeach individual’s independence.

The Governance Committee and Board considered that the Corporation in the ordinary course of business purchases products and services from, or sells products and services to, companies or subsidiaries or parents of companies at which some of our directors (or their immediate family members) are or have been directors or officers and to other institutions with which some of these individuals have or have had relationships.

In determining that these relationships did not affect the independence of those directors, the Board considered that none of the directors had any direct or indirect material interest in, or received any special compensation in connection with, the Corporation’s business relationships with those entities. In addition to their considerationofconsideration of these ordinary course of business transactions, the Governance Committee and the Board relied upon the director independence guidelines included in our Governance Guidelines to conclude that contributions to a tax-exempt organization by the Corporation did not create any direct or indirect material interest for the purpose of assessing director independence.

The Governance Committee also concluded that all members of each of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Governance Committee are independent within the meaning of our Governance Guidelines and NYSE listing standards, including the additional independence requirements applicable to members of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Governance Committee.

Related Person Transaction Policy

The Board has approved a written policy and procedures for the review, approval and ratification of transactions among the Corporation and its directors, executive officers and their related interests. A copy of the policy is available on the Corporation’s website atwww.lockheedmartin.com/corporate-governance. Under theUnderthe policy, all related person transactions (as defined in the policy) are to be reviewed by the Governance Committee. The Governance Committee may approve or ratify related person transactions at its discretion if deemed fair and reasonable to the Corporation. This may include situations where the Corporation provides products or services

to related persons on an arm’s length basis on terms comparable to those provided to unrelated third parties. Any director who participates in or is the subject of an existing or potential related person transaction may not participate in the decision-making process of the Governance Committee with respect to that transaction.

Under the policy, and consistent with applicable SEC regulations and NYSE listing standards, a related person transaction is any transaction in which the Corporation was, is or will be a participant, where the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which a related person had, has, or will have a direct or indirectmaterialindirect material interest. A related person includes any director or director-nominee, any executive officer of the Corporation, any person who is known to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of any class of the Corporation’s voting securities, or an immediate family member of any person described above.

Our policy requires each director and executive officer to complete an annual questionnaire to identify his or her related interests and persons, and to notify the Corporation of changes in that information. Based on that information, the Corporation maintains a master list of related persons for purposes of tracking and reporting related person transactions.

Because it may not be possible or practical to pre-approve all related person transactions, the policy contemplates that the Governance Committee may ratify transactions after they commence or pre-approve categories of transactions or relationships. If the Governance Committee declines to approve or ratify a transaction, the related person transaction is referred to management to make a recommendation to the Governance Committee concerning whether the transaction should be terminated or amended in a manner that is acceptable to the Governance Committee.

Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions of Directors, Executive Officers and
5 Percent Stockholders

The following transactions or relationships are considered to be “related person” transactions under our corporate policy and applicable SEC regulations and NYSE listing standards.

Two of our directors, Mr. Loy and Mr. Ralston, are employed as Senior Counselor and Vice Chairman, respectively, of The Cohen Group, a consulting business that performs services for the Corporation.

Neither Mr. Loy norMr.nor Mr. Ralston’s compensation earned at The Cohen Group is impacted by the consulting services delivered to the Corporation.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

There are 11 director-nominees for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. Each director-nominee currently serves as a director and was recommended for nomination by the Governance Committee. The Governance Committee Reporthas determined that all the director-nominees, except for Ms. Hewson, Chairman, President and CEO, are independent under the listing standards of the NYSE and our Governance Guidelines. The Board ratified the slate of director-nominees and recommends that our stockholders vote for the election of all the individuals nominated by the Board.

The Board has fixed the number of directors at 11. Mr. Loy will retire from the Board at the Annual Meeting. The Governance Committee and the Board will continue to review and assessadditional candidates for the Board. Any candidates identified after the Annual Meeting will be considered by the Board as candidates to serve until the 2019 annual meeting. All director-nominees are expected to attend the Annual Meeting.

All director-nominees who are elected will serve a one-year term that will end at the 2019 annual meeting. If any of the director-nominees are unable or unwilling to stand for election at the Annual Meeting (an event which is not anticipated), the Board may reduce its size or designate a substitute. If a substitute is designated, proxy holders may vote for the substitute nominee or refrain from voting for any other director-nominee at their discretion. Directors’ ages are reported in this Proxy Statement as of the date of the Annual Meeting.

Board Attendance

In 2017, the Board met a total of nine times. All directors on the Board during 2017 attended more than 75 percent of the total Board and committee meetings to which they were assigned and attended the 2017 annual meeting, except Ms. Stevens, who resigned in November 2017. Mr. Johnson and Mr. Taiclet joined the Board in January 2018.

Board Composition, Qualifications and Diversity

We have no agreements obligating the Corporation to nominate a particular candidate as a director, and none of our directors represents a special interest or a particular stockholder or group of stockholders.

At Lockheed Martin, we recognize diversity and inclusion as a business imperative. We believe that our business accomplishments are a result of the efforts of our employees around the world, and that a diverse employee population will result in a better understanding of our customers’ needs. Our success with a diverse workforce also informs our views about the value of a board of directors that has persons of diverse skills, experiences and backgrounds. To this end, the Board seeks to identify candidates with areas of knowledge or experience that will expand or complement the Board’s existing expertise in overseeing a technologically advanced global security and aerospace company. Diversity in skills and backgrounds ensures that the widest range of options and viewpoints are expressed in the boardroom.

Consistent with the Governance Guidelines, the Board desires a diverse group of candidates who possess the background, skills, expertise and time to make a significant contribution to the Board, the Corporation and its stockholders. The Governance Committee makes recommendations to the Board concerning the composition of the Board and its committees, including size and qualifications for membership. The Governance Committee evaluates prospective nominees against the standards and qualifications set forth in the Corporation’s Governance Guidelines, as well as other relevant factors it deems appropriate.

In 2017, two of our directors (Rosalind G. Brewer and Anne Stevens) resigned from our Board to take on full-time executive leadership responsibilities at other publicly-traded companies. We will continue our commitment to building a Board with diverse backgrounds and talents.

Listed below are the skills and experience that we have considered important for our directors to have in light of our current business and structure. The directors’ biographies that follow note each director’s relevant experience, skills and qualifications relative to this list.

Interpersonal Skills and Diversity.Directors with different backgrounds and skills help build diversity on the Board and maximize group dynamics in terms of function, experience, thought, gender, race and age.

Public Company Board Experience.Directors who have served or serve on other public company boards can offer advice and insights with regard to the dynamics and operation of a board of directors, the relationship between a board and the CEO and other management personnel, the importance of particular agenda items and oversight of a changing mix of strategic, operational and compliance matters.

Proposal 1

Global Expertise.Because we are a global organization with increasing revenue coming from sales outside the United States, directors with global expertise provide business and cultural perspectives regarding many significant aspects of our business.

Financial Expertise.Knowledge of accounting and financial reporting, financial markets, financing and funding operations and processes is important because it assists our directors in understanding, advising and overseeing the Corporation’s capital structure, financing and investment activities, financial reporting and internal control of such activities.

Government or Military Expertise.Directors who have served in government or in senior military positions provide experience and insight into working constructively with our core customers and governments around the world and addressing significant public policy issues, particularly inareas related to the Corporation’s business and operations. Directors with military, homeland security or intelligence experience and security clearance credentials bring unique skills to our CBS Committee.

Senior Leadership Experience.Directors who have served as CEOs and in other senior leadership positions bring experience and perspective in analyzing, shaping, and overseeing the execution of important operational and policy issues at a senior level. These directors’ insights and guidance, and their ability to assess and respond to situations encountered in serving on our Board, may be enhanced if their leadership experience was developed at businesses or organizations that operated on a global scale or involved technology or other rapidly evolving business models.


The Board unanimously recommends that you vote FOR each of the following Director-Nominees (Proposal 1).

PROPOSAL 2: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Audit Committee has appointed Ernst & Young LLP (Ernst & Young), an independent registered public accounting firm, as the independent auditors to perform an integrated audit of the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting for the year ending December 31, 2018. The services provided to the Corporation by Ernst & Young for the last two fiscal years are described under the caption “Fees Paid to Independent Auditors” on page 25.

The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, oversight and termination of the Corporation’s independent auditors in accordance with the NYSE listing standards. The Audit Committee also is responsible for the audit fee negotiations associated with the retention of Ernst & Young. The Audit Committee and its chairman are involved in the selection of Ernst & Young’s lead engagement partner. The Audit Committee meets with Ernst & Young without management present at every meeting of the Audit Committee in which financial statements are reviewed.

Ernst & Young has served as the Corporation’s independent auditors since 1994. The Audit Committee reviews the engagement of Ernst & Young annually following completion of Ernst & Young’s audit of the prior year’s financial statements. The Audit Committee also conducts a mid-year assessment of the quality of Ernst & Young’s work. As part of its annual and mid-year assessment of Ernst & Young, the Audit Committee has considered:

the materials on independence provided by Ernst & Young;
work quality;
management’s level of satisfaction with its services;
the adequacy of Ernst & Young’s staffing;
the breadth of knowledge, support and expertise of its national office and access to that expertise;
the length of time Ernst & Young LLP (Ernst & Young), an independent registered public accounting firm. The independent auditors are responsible for performing an independent audit of the Corporation’s annual consolidated financial statements and internal controls over financial reporting and expressing an opinion on the conformity of those consolidated financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and on the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

In connection with the preparation of the Corporation’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management andhas been engaged;

external data regarding Ernst & Young the Corporation’s audited consolidated financial statements,Young’s audit quality and performance, including discussions regarding critical accounting policies, financial accounting and reporting principles and practices, the quality of such principles and practices, the reasonableness of significant judgments and estimates, and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee also discussed with Ernst & Young, with and without management, the quality of the financial statements, clarity of the related disclosures, effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and other items required underrecent Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 16,reports on Ernst & Young and its peer firms;
Ernst & Young’s institutional knowledge and expertise with respect to the Corporation’s business and government contracting practices, quality and cost-effective services;
familiarity with the Corporation’s account;
level of expertise in accounting issues relating to government contracts; and
Ernst & Young’s performance in providing independent analysis of management positions.

Stockholder approval of the appointment is not required. However, the Board believes that obtaining stockholder ratification of the appointment is a sound corporate governance practice. If the stockholders do not vote on an advisory basis in favor of Ernst & Young, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to hire the firm and may retain Ernst & Young or hire another firm without resubmitting the matter for stockholders’ approval. The Audit Committee retains the discretion at any time to appoint a different independent auditor.

Representatives of Ernst & Young are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will be available to respond to appropriate questions and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire.

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young as independent auditors for 2018 (Proposal 2).

In addition, separate approval is required if the amount of fees for any pre-approved category of service exceeds the fee thresholds established by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee also has delegated to the Committee Chairman or any member pre-approval authority with respect to permitted services up to $500,000, provided that the Committee Chairman or any member must report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

There are 11 director-nominees for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. Each director-nominee currently serves as a director and was recommended for nomination by the Governance Committee. The Governance Committee has determined that all the director-nominees, except for Marillyn A. Hewson, Chairman, President and CEO, are independent under the listing standards of the NYSE and our Governance Guidelines. The Board ratified the slate of director-nominees and recommends that our stockholders vote for the election of all the individuals nominated by the Board.

The Board has fixed the number of directors to 11 at the present time. The Governance Committee and the Board will continue to review and assess additional candidates for the Board from time to time. Any candidates identified after the 2016 Annual Meeting willbe considered by the Board as candidates to serve until the 2017 Annual Meeting.

The director-nominees are expected to attend the 2016 Annual Meeting. All director-nominees who are elected will serve a one-year term that will end at the 2017 Annual Meeting. If any of the director-nominees are unable or unwilling to stand for election at the 2016 Annual Meeting (an event which is not anticipated), the Board may reduce its size or designate a substitute. If a substitute is designated, proxy holders may vote for the substitute nominee or refrain from voting for any other director-nominee at their discretion. Directors’ ages are reported as of the date of 2016 Annual Meeting.

PROPOSAL 3: MANAGEMENT PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION AMENDED AND RESTATED DIRECTORS EQUITY PLAN

The Corporation currently maintains the Lockheed Martin Corporation 2009 Directors Equity Plan (as amended to date, the Existing Plan), which was approved by stockholders on April 24, 2008, and was effective on January 1, 2009. Absent action by the stockholders, the Existing Plan will expire by its terms on December 31, 2018. The Corporation proposes to amend and restate the Existing Plan and extend the term until December 31, 2028.

To that end, on February 22, 2018, the Board unanimously approved and adopted, subject to the approval of our stockholders at the Annual Meeting, Attendance

In 2015, the Board met a totalthe Lockheed Martin Corporation Amended and Restated Directors Equity Plan (the Restated Plan). As was the case with the Existing Plan, the purpose of the Restated Plan is to align the economic interests of 10 times. All directors attended more than 75 percent of the total Board and committee meetings to which they were assigned. All incumbent directors attended the 2015 Annual Meeting, except for Mr. Carlson who joined the Board in July 2015.

Board Composition, Qualifications and Diversity

We have no agreements obligating the Corporation to nominate a particular candidate as a director, and none of our directors represents a special interest or a particular stockholder or group of stockholders.

We believe that our business accomplishments are a result of the efforts of our employees around the world, and that a diverse employee population will result in a better understanding of our customers’ needs. Our success with a diverse workforce also informs our views about the value of a board of directors that has persons of diverse skills, experiences and backgrounds. To this end, the Board seeks to identify candidates with areas of knowledge or experience that will expand or complement the Board’s existing expertise in overseeing a technologically advanced global security and aerospace company.

Consistent with the Governance Guidelines, the Board desires a diverse group of candidates who possess the background, skills, expertise and time to make a significant contribution to the Board, the Corporation and its stockholders. The Governance Committee makes recommendations to the Board concerning the composition of the Board and its committees, including size and qualifications for membership. The Governance Committee evaluates prospective nominees against the standards and qualifications set forth in the Corporation’s Governance Guidelines, as well as other relevant factors it deems appropriate.

Listed below are the skills and experience that we have considered important for our directors to have in light of our current business and structure. The directors’ biographies that follow note each director’s relevant experience, skills and qualifications relative to this list.

Financial Expertise.Knowledge of financial markets, financing and funding operations and accounting and financial reporting processes is important because it assists our directors in understanding, advising and overseeing the Corporation’s capital structure, financingnon-employee directors with the interests of stockholders by including equity as a component of director pay and investment activities, financial reportingto attract, motivate and internal controlretain experienced and knowledgeable directors.

At the Corporation’s 2008 annual meeting, stockholders authorized 600,000 shares for grant under the Existing Plan. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, there were 408,811 shares available for awards under the Existing Plan. As part of the amendment and restatement, the remaining shares will continue to be available for awards during the extended term of the Restated Plan.

If approved by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting, the Restated Plan will be effective as of the date of such activities.approval (April 26, 2018), and will permit the continued grant of equity awards to our non-employee directors. Until that time, equity awards will continue to be available to directors under the Existing Plan.

The principal features of the Restated Plan are summarized below. This summary does not contain all the information that may be important to you. A copy of the complete text of the Restated Plan, marked to show changes from the Existing Plan, is included in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement. The following description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Restated Plan. You are encouraged to read the Restated Plan in its entirety.

Highlights of the Restated Plan

The material terms of the Restated Plan are generally the same as the Existing Plan, except that:
the term has been extended until December 31, 2028;
the dates on which payments will be made when a director terminates service have been clarified to use consistent valuation dates; and
a provision explicitly prohibiting repricing of options has been added.
  
Public Company Board Experience.Directors who have served on other public company boards can offer advice and insights
The Board is not requesting an increase in the number of shares authorized for issuance. The aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under the Existing Plan and the Restated Plan will remain at 600,000 shares (with 408,811 shares remaining available for awards as of the date of this Proxy Statement).

The Restated Plan allows the Board to set the portion of the annual retainer that is to be paid in equity. The percentage has been 50% of the director’s annual retainer since the Existing Plan was approved by the stockholders in 2008, and will remain at that level, unless subsequently changed by the Board.

The Restated Plan authorizes payment in the form of stock units or options, although only stock units have been used since June 2014. The Restated Plan would require a further resolution of the Board to once again provide for options as all or a portion of the equity component of director compensation.

The equity portion of the retainer generally vests over the course of the year following the grant.

Consistent with regardthe terms of an amendment to the dynamicsExisting Plan approved by the Board in September 2017, from and operationafter January 1, 2018, a director who has satisfied the Board’s Stock Ownership Guidelines may elect to have vested stock units awarded after that date to be paid in a lump sum on the March 31 following the one-year anniversary of the grant rather than following termination of Board service. Our practice of not counting stock units paid in cash against the total number of shares of common stock available for awards has been incorporated into the Restated Plan.

Summary of the Restated Plan

Equity awards are an important component of director compensation. The Restated Plan continues the equity component of our directors’ compensation program that has been in place since 1999. Approval of the Restated Plan by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting would extend the equity compensation arrangements for directors until December 31, 2028.

If approved, compensation awarded under the Restated Plan will constitute a portion of each eligible director’s annual retainer, with the remaining portion of the retainer payable in cash. The designated percentage of the retainer that is subject to equity awards currently is 50%. As was the case with the Existing Plan, under the Restated Plan, the percentage can be increased or decreased by the Board from time to time. In the case of a boarddirector who will be eligible for retirement at the annual meeting immediately following the grant of an equity award under the Restated Plan, the award will equal one-third of the amount the director otherwise would have been entitled to receive at that time.

All of the CEO anddirectors proposed for election at the Annual Meeting, other management personnel,than Ms. Hewson, will be eligible to participate in the importance of particular agenda items and oversight of a changing mix of strategic, operational and compliance matters.

Government and Military Expertise.Directors who have served in government or in senior military positions provide experience and insight into working constructively with our core customers and governments around the world and addressing significant public policy issues, particularly in areas related to the Corporation’s business and operations. Directors with military, homeland security or intelligence experience and security clearance credentials have unique skillsRestated Plan if they are continuing to serve on our CBS Committee.

Proposal 1: Election of Directors

Global Expertise.Because we are a global organization with increasing revenue coming from sales outside the United States, directors with global expertise can provide useful business and cultural perspectives regarding many significant aspects of our business.
Senior Leadership Experience. Directors who have served in senior leadership positions bring experience and perspective in analyzing, shaping, and overseeing the execution of important operational and policy issues at a senior level. These directors’ insights and guidance, and their ability to assess and respond to situations encountered in serving on our Board, may be enhanced if their leadership experience was developed at businesses or organizations that operated on a global scale or involved technology or other rapidly evolving business models.
Interpersonal Skills and Diversity.Directors with different backgrounds and skills help build diversity on the Board, and maximize group dynamicseach eligible director may elect to receive the equity portion of the annual retainer approved by the Governance Committee of the Board in terms of function, experience thought, gender, race and age.

As a result, the alternative to receive all or a portion of the equity component of the retainer in stock options is not currently available to directors, but under the terms of the Restated Plan could be reinstated at a later date by resolution of the Board.

For purposes of determining the number of stock units awarded to directors, the value of a stock unit will be equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant as reported on the composite tape of the NYSE. The value of a stock option for these purposes will be the fair market value of our stock as determined using the option pricing methodology as applied by the Corporation for purposes of its financial statements on the date of the option grant.

No stock options have been granted under the Existing Plan since 2014. In June 2014, the Board adopted a resolution requiring non-employee directors to receive their equity awards under the Existing Plan only in executive management, logisticsthe form of stock units, unless the Board resolution was further amended or revoked. That resolution has not been amended or revoked and military procurement duethis provision relating to limitations adopted from time to time by the Board on the types of available awards has been incorporated into the Restated Plan.

As previously was the case, under the Restated Plan, options are rights to purchase a specified number of shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of the stock on the award date. The options are nonqualified stock options and have a term of 10 years from the date of grant.

A director will have no voting, dividend or other stockholder rights in respect of the shares of common stock covered by an option until the director becomes the holder of record of those shares. To exercise an option, the director must pay the exercise price of the option in cash at the time of exercise. Alternatively, the exercising director also may choose to tender shares of our common stock to the Corporation as full or partial payment for the shares underlying the options being exercised or take advantage of customary cashless exercise procedures to exercise his distinguished career managing 65,000 troops from 23 countriesor her option.

PROPOSAL 2: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Audit Committee has appointed Ernst & Young, an independent registered public accounting firm, as the independent auditors to perform an integrated audit of the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting for the year ending December 31, 2016. Ernst & Young served as our independent auditors in 2015 and 2014. The services provided to the Corporation by Ernst & Young for the last two fiscal years are described under the caption “Fees Paid to Independent Auditors” below.

The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, oversight and termination of the Corporation’s independent auditors in accordance with the NYSE listing standards. The Audit Committee also is responsible for the audit fee negotiations associated with the retention of Ernst & Young. The Audit Committee has discussed the advantages and disadvantages of external audit firm rotation. Further, in conjunction with the periodic mandated rotation of the audit firm’s lead engagement partner, the Audit Committee and its chairman are directly involved in the selection of Ernst & Young’s new lead engagement partner. The members of the Audit Committee and the Board believe that the continued retention of Ernst & Young to serve as the Corporation’s independent external auditors is in the best interest of our stockholders.

The Audit Committee reviews the engagement of Ernst & Young annually following completion of Ernst & Young’s audit of the prior year’s financial statements. The Audit Committee also conducts a mid-year assessment of the quality of Ernst & Young’s work. As part of its annual and mid-year assessment of Ernst & Young, the Audit Committee considers the materials on independence provided by Ernst & Young, work quality, management’s level of satisfaction with their services, the adequacy of Ernst & Young’s staffing, the breadth of knowledge, support and expertise of its national office, familiarity with the Corporation’s account, level of expertise in accounting issues relating to government contracts and Ernst & Young’s role in providing independent analysis of management positions. The Audit Committee also meets with Ernst & Young without management present at every meeting of the Audit Committee in which financial statements are reviewed.

Stockholder approval of the appointment is not required. However, the Board believes that obtaining stockholder ratification of the appointment is a sound corporate governance practice. If the stockholders do not vote on an advisory basis in favor of Ernst & Young, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to hire the firm and may retain Ernst & Young or hire another firm without resubmitting the matter for stockholders approval. The Audit Committee retains the discretion at any time to appoint a different independent auditor.

Representatives of Ernst & Young are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will be available to respond to appropriate questions and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire.

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the ratificationlisting standards of the appointmentNYSE. The equity payable under the Restated Plan is intended to constitute a designated percentage (currently, 50%) of Ernst & Young as independent auditorsthe annual retainer paid to a director each year and if the directors approve an increase in the total annual retainer, the value of the annual equity awards under the Restated Plan will increase. It is not anticipated that stockholder approval of an increase in the total annual retainer would be sought. Amendments made without stockholder approval could increase the annual costs of the Restated Plan, but would not affect the total number of shares of stock available under the Restated Plan. A director’s consent would be required to revoke or alter an outstanding award in a manner unfavorable to the director.

The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Restated Plan remains at 600,000 shares; provided, that this number of shares is subject to adjustment in event of a stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, or certain other extraordinary transactions specified in the Restated Plan. Shares of common stock subject to a stock option terminating or expiring prior to its exercise, and stock units that are forfeited or paid in cash, will again be available for 2016 (Proposal 2).awards under the Restated Plan. Assuming stockholder approval and assuming the Restated Plan is not earlier terminated by the Board, the Restated Plan will continue in effect until December 31, 2028.

Upon a “Change in Control” (as defined in Section 2.10 the Restated Plan), a director’s stock units and outstanding options become fully vested, and directors will have the right to exercise their options immediately. A Change in Control under the Restated Plan is defined generally to include a change in ownership involving 25% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Corporation (or a combined entity), a liquidation or dissolution, a transfer of substantially all of our assets or certain changes in a majority of the members of our Board within two years following certain specified extraordinary transactions or a reorganization or contested election.

Proposal 3

Federal Tax Consequences

In general, under current federal income tax laws, stock units awarded under the Restated Plan will be included in a director’s taxable income and deductible to the Corporation based on the fair market value of the common stock at the time stock units are paid in cash or shares.

A director will not recognize taxable income upon the grant of an option to purchase shares of common stock. Upon exercise of the option, a director will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is exercised over the exercise price paid for the shares of common stock underlying the option. The tax basis of the option stock will equal the option price for the stock plus the amount of ordinary income that the director recognizes upon exercise of the option, and the holding period for tax purposes will commence on the day the option is exercised. A director who sells option stockwill recognize a capital gain or loss measured by the difference between the tax basis of the stock and the amount realized on the sale. Such gain or loss will be long-term if the stock is held for more than one year after exercise, and short-term if held for one year or less. The Corporation will be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary compensation income recognized by the director. The deduction will be allowed at the same time that the director recognizes the income.

Required Vote for Approval and Consequences of Vote

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is required to approve the Restated Plan. Because the Existing Plan expires December 31, 2018, if the stockholders do not approve the Restated Plan, which includes, among other things, an extension of the term of the Existing Plan, the Corporation will not be able to compensate the non-employee directors with equity issued under a stockholder-approved plan.

The Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR approval of the Lockheed Martin Corporation Amended and Restated Directors Equity Plan, as set forth in Appendix A. (Proposal 3).

We consider the input of 1934,our stockholders, along with emerging best practices, to ensure alignment with our executive pay programs. Most investors with whom we engaged in 2017 reacted positively to our pay governance and executive compensation programs. We welcome feedback regarding our executive compensation programs and will continue to engage with our stockholders in 2018. Consistent with the recommendation of our Board and the preference of our stockholders as amended. Based on that review and discussion, we recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be includedreflected in the non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of future Say-on-Pay votes that we conducted last year, we will continue to hold an annual Say-on-Pay vote.

Executive Summary

Our 2017 Performance

In 2017, the Corporation achieved new records for sales, orders, and Cash from Operations. Lockheed Martin’s net sales in 2017 were $51 billion versus $47 billion in 2016, an increase of eight percent and a record-setting amount for the Corporation. We also set a record for Cash from Operations of $6.5 billion in 2017, up from $5.2 billion in 2016. In addition, we ended 2017 with record orders of $54 billion, driving a strong backlog of approximately $100 billion.

During 2017, we delivered 66 F-35s for the year, meeting our target for the year. This was an increase of more than 40 percent over 2016. To date, we have delivered over 265 F-35s to U.S. and international customers, and the F-35 fleet has flown a total of 120,000 hours. We also delivered F-35 Full Mission Simulators to the Israeli, Italian, Japanese, and Norwegian Air Forces – the first-ever deliveries to international F-35 operators.

The fourth Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) satellite was delivered successfully to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida last October in advance of its recent successful launch aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket on January 19, 2018.

We continued our efforts to return cash to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases. During 2017, we returned over $4.2 billion of our $6.5 billion in Cash from Operations to our stockholders, with $2 billion in share repurchases and $2.2 billion paid in cash dividends.

Through these operational and financial accomplishments, Lockheed Martin delivered strong one-year and three-year total stockholder returns (TSR). On a relative basis, Lockheed Martin’s three-year TSR significantly outperformed NASDAQ, the Dow Jones Industrial, S&P 500, S&P Industrials, and S&P Aerospace & Defense (S&P Aerospace) indices for the period ended December 31, 2015. The Board approved our recommendation.2017.

Executive Summary

Our 2015 Performance

In 2015, Lockheed Martin achieved record levels of financial performance, and successfully performed on our contracts while undertaking two portfolio-shaping initiatives – the Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (Sikorsky) acquisition and strategic review of our government information technology (IT) and technical services work in Information Systems & Global Solutions (IS&GS) businesses - that will influence the Corporation’s business for years to come.

Net sales for the year were $46.1 billion, compared to $45.6 billion in 2014. Net earnings in 2015 were $3.6 billion, or $11.46 per share, compared to $3.6 billion, or $11.21 per share, in 2014. Cash from Operations in 2015 was $5.1 billion, compared to Cash from Operations in 2014 of $3.9 billion after pension contributions of $2.0 billion.

During 2015, we accomplished numerous strategic and operational milestones. The Marine Corps declared Initial Operational Capability (IOC) for the F-35B, a historic event for the program, and we met our 2015 production commitment for the F-35 program by delivering 45 aircraft to the Department of Defense. We were awarded a $5.3 billion multi-year contract to deliver 78 C-130J Super Hercules to the U.S. Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard through 2020. We launched the ninth Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) – the future USS Little Rock – and delivered LCS Five – the USS Milwaukee. We were awarded a contract to produce and deliver PAC-3 missiles and PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancements to the U.S. and allied military forces. We also had great success expanding our international business during 2015, which represented 21% of our sales.

On November 6, 2015, we completed our purchase of Sikorsky. Sikorsky is a world leader in the design, manufacture and support of military and commercial helicopters. On July 20, 2015, we announced a strategic review of our government IT services work in IS&GS and our technical services business in Missiles and Fire Control. In January 2016, Lockheed Martin entered into a definitive agreement to combine our IT and technical services business at the realigned IS&GS with Leidos Holdings, Inc., in a tax-efficient Reverse Morris Trust transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the third or fourth quarter of 2016.

Through these accomplishments, Lockheed Martin delivered exceptional one-year and three-year total stockholder returns (TSR) that significantly exceeded the Dow Jones Industrial, S&P 500, S&P Industrials, NASDAQ, and S&P Aerospace & Defense (S&P Aerospace) indices for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2015.

Compensation Overview

1-Year TSROur executive compensation programs covering our NEOs are designed to attract and retain critical executive talent, to motivate behaviors that align with stockholders’ interests and to pay for performance. The majority of our NEOs’ pay is variable and contingent on performance, and approximately two-thirds, on average, is in the form of long-term incentives (LTI). To ensure pay is competitive with market practices, we conduct benchmarking analyses each year when establishing base salary, annual incentive target opportunities and LTI target opportunities. Each element of compensation is evaluated against the 50thpercentile, which we refer to as “market rate,” of our comparator group of companies, as shown on page 36. For executives new to their role, we generally target pay below the market rate (50thpercentile) and then increase pay closer to 100% of the market rate over time based on a variety of factors, including individual performance, internal pay equity, time in position and critical skills. Although target incentive opportunities are set by reference to the market rate, incentive plan terms provide for actual payouts to be based upon actual performance that can result in payouts above or below targeted levels. Based on actual results relative to our pre-established metrics and goals under our incentive programs, the 2017 annual incentive program paid out at 171% of target and the 2015-2017 LTIP paid out at 144.9% of target for all NEOs. We also provide retirement programs and perquisites that are competitive in our industry and security that is appropriate for the business in which we operate.

Compensation Overview

Our executive compensation programs covering our NEOs are designed to attract and retain critical executive talent, to motivate behaviors that align with stockholders’ interest, and to pay for performance. The majority of our NEOs’ pay is variable and contingent on performance, and approximately 70%, on average, is in the form of long-term incentives (LTI).

To ensure pay is competitive with market practices, we conduct benchmarking analyses each year when establishing base salary, annual incentive target opportunities and LTI target opportunities. Each element of compensation is benchmarked against the 50th percentile, which we refer to as “market rate,” of a comparator group of companies, as shown on page 38. For executives new to their role, we may consider targeting pay below the market rate (50th percentile) and then increase pay closer to 100% of the market rate over a time period based on a variety of factors,In 2017, Ms. Hewson’s base salary was set at $1,695,000.

2017 Annual Incentive.Ms. Hewson’s target annual incentive amount for 2017 was $2,966,250 (175% of salary).

2017-2019 Long-Term Incentives.In 2017, Ms. Hewson was granted an LTI award of approximately $11.88 million, which was allocated 50% in Performance Share Units (PSUs), 30% in Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), and 20% in the cash-based Long-Term Incentive Performance award (LTIP). RSUs will cliff-vest after three years, while the vesting of PSUs and LTIP will be based upon our results relative to the three-year performance goals that were established in the beginning of 2017.

Benefit and Retirement Plans.Ms. Hewson is eligible for benefit and retirement programs, similar to other employees. None of our NEOs received additional years of service credits or other forms of formula enhancements under our benefit or retirement plans. Our pension formula is based on years of service and pension eligible compensation, which is similar to the formula offered by other companies with defined benefit plans. Effective January 1, 2016, Proxy Statementthe compensation element of the pension calculation was frozen and, on January 1, 2020, the service element of the pension calculation will be frozen.

including individual performance, experience, time in position and critical skills. Although target incentive opportunities are set by reference to the market rate, incentive plan terms provide for actual payouts to be based upon actual results. In light of the Corporation’s performance, payouts under the 2015 annual incentive and 2013-2015 performance-based LTI programs were well above target levels.

We also provide retirement programs and perquisites that are competitive in our industry and security that is appropriate for the business in which we operate.

2015 Say-on-Pay Vote

At our 2015 Annual Meeting, more than 94% of the votes cast by our stockholders approved our Say-on-Pay proposal. We meet with our key investors throughout the year to understand the issues that matter most to them as it relates to executive compensation. We considered the input of our stockholders and emerging best practices in adopting our executive pay programs. During 2015, we engaged with representatives of stockholders owning approximately 40% of our outstanding shares. Most investors with whom we met reacted positively to our pay governance and executive compensation programs. We welcome feedback regarding our executive compensation programs and will continue to engage with our stockholders in 2016.

2015 Chairman, President & CEO Compensation

Base Salary. Three years into her role as CEO, Ms. Hewson’s 2015 base salary of $1,565,000 was set at 100% of the market rate (50thpercentile of CEOs’ base salaries in our size-adjusted comparator group of companies).

2015 Annual Incentive. Ms. Hewson’s target annual incentive amount for 2015 was $2,738,750 (175% of salary). Based on our results, Ms. Hewson was awarded 200% of her target or $5,477,500 under the annual incentive plan for 2015 performance.

2013-2015 Long-Term Incentives.In 2013, Ms. Hewson was granted an LTI award of $10.2 million, which was 85% of the market rate at that time given that she was new to her role. The LTI award was allocated 50% in Performance Share Units (PSUs), 30% in Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) and 20% in the cash-based Long-Term Incentive Award Plan (LTIP).

Ms. Hewson’s 2013-2015 PSU target award of $5,106,745 was multiplied by the weighting assigned to each PSU component (50% to Relative TSR, 25% to ROIC and, 25% to Performance Cash). She received 200% of her target Relative TSR PSUs, 197.3% of her target Performance Cash PSUs and 112.5% of her target ROIC PSUs, or a total of 127,693 shares based on actual results relative to the three-year performance goals that were established in the beginning of 2013.

Ms. Hewson was granted 34,289 RSUs based on the grant date fair value of $3,059,950 in January 2013. These RSUs vested in company shares in January 2016.

Ms. Hewson’s 2013-2015 LTIP target award was set at $2,040,000. She received a payout of 177.4% of target, or $3,618,960 in cash, based on our results relative to the three-year performance goals that were established in the beginning of 2013.

The PSU and LTIP performance payout factors for Ms. Hewson are the same for all participants in these plans.

Benefit and Retirement Plans.Ms. Hewson is eligible for benefit and retirement programs similar to other employees. None of our executives received additional years of service credits or other forms of formula enhancements under our benefit or retirement plans. Like the retirement benefits offered by other companies with defined benefit plans, our pension formula is based on years of service and pension eligible compensation. In light of Ms. Hewson’s 33 years of service, her salary and incentive compensation since becoming CEO in 2013 and the effect of changes in standard mortality tables and interest rates in recent years, the value of Ms. Hewson’s pension benefits increased significantly in recent years.

How We Determine Market Rate Compensation

As a starting point, for eachlevel of compensation at the Corporation’s comparator group of peer companies was developed from the proprietary results of the principal elements of executive compensation we define the “market rate” as the size-adjusted 50th percentile of the comparator group of companies we have identified for compensation purposes. Size-adjusted market rates are calculated for us by Aon Hewitt using regression analysis. This statistical technique accounts for revenue size differences within the peer group and results in a market rate for all compensation elements consistent with our revenue relationship to our peers. We also may adjust the market rate to reflect differences in an executive’s job scope relative to the industry or the comparator group of companies, as appropriate.

Actual annual and long-term incentive compensation earned by executives may be above or below the target level we set for each executive based on our performance against pre-established metrics and goals. Our incentive plans are designed so that actual performance in excess of established performance targets results in payouts above target and actual performance below established performance targets results in payouts below target or no payout.

How We Select the Comparator Group for Market Rate and Performance Purposes

We regularly review our comparator group to maintain relevancy and to ensure the availability of data, while seeking to avoid significant annual changes in the group to ensure a level of consistency.

To establish the market rate for each of the principal elements of compensation, we select a group of publicly-traded companies (our comparator group) to identify market rates for all pay elements. Because the number of comparable companies with our revenue level is not extensive, we include companies in our comparator group based on a number of factors, including:

Consideration of Internal Pay Equity

Consistent with past practice, the Compensation Committee reviewed the pay relationship of the CEO to the other NEOs as part of its annual compensation review in 2017 and 2018. This material was presented to the Compensation Committee by Meridian in its capacity as the Committee’s independent compensation consultant.

Compensation and Risk

The Corporation’s executive and broad-based compensation programs are intended to promote decision-making that supports a pay for performance philosophy while mitigating risk by utilizing the following design features:

Mix of fixed and variable pay opportunities
Multiple performance measures, multiple time periods and capped payouts under incentive plans
Stock ownership requirements
Oversight by Board committees
Set incentive goals at the Enterprise or business segment level
Moderate severance program and post-employment restrictive covenants
Institutional focus on ethical behavior
Annual risk review
Compensation Committee oversight of equity burn rate and dilution
Clawback policy

At the Compensation Committee’s request, Meridian reviewed all executive and broad-based incentive compensation programs in 2017 and concluded that risks arising from our incentive compensation programs are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation.

Consideration of Internal Pay Equity

Consistent with past practice, the Compensation Committee reviewed the pay relationship of the CEO to the other NEOs as part of the January 2015 and January 2016 meetings. This material was presented to the Compensation Committee by Meridian in its capacity as the Committee’s independent compensation consultant.

Compensation and Risk

The Corporation’s executive and broad-based compensation programs are intended to promote decision-making that supports a pay for performance philosophy while mitigating risk by utilizing the following design features:

Mix of fixed and variable pay opportunities
Multiple performance measures, multiple time periods and capped payouts under incentive plans
Stock ownership requirements
Oversight by Board committees
Moderate severance program and post-employment restrictive covenants
Institutional focus on ethical behavior
Annual risk review
Compensation Committee oversight ofconsiders current market data in combination with other factors, including previous pay levels, internal pay equity, run rateindividual performance and overhang
Clawback policy

At the Compensation Committee’s request, Meridian reviewed all executive and broad-based incentive compensation programs in 2015 and determined that risks arising from our incentive compensation programs are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation as a whole.

Base Salary

Base salaries are reviewed annually and may be increased to reflect the executive’s individual performance and/or adjusted to align more appropriately with the market rate (50th percentile). In establishing the base salary for each NEO, we determined the market rate using comparator group company data and evaluated whether the market rate should be adjusted up or down based on differences in the scope of the NEO’s position as compared to the industry and the comparator group companies.

The Compensation Committee establishes an executive’s base salary relative to the market rate with consideration for the executive’s individual performance, experience, time in position and critical skills.

**

Because we multiply the Enterprise, Business Segment and Individual performance factors together, a zero rating on any factor results in no payout. Under the termsRefer to Appendix B for an explanation of our 2015 annual incentive plan, the CEO’s bonus may not exceed 0.3% of Performance Cash (see Appendix A for non-GAAP definition) and the bonus for each of the other NEOs cannot exceed 0.2% of Performance Cash. Annual incentive payouts may not exceed 200% of the target award.

The Compensation Committee adopted these parameters to establish the structure around which annual incentive decisions would be made, to align participants to the performance of the overall Enterprise and to use financial performance as a core element of the rating. Although the annual incentive plan uses a formulaic approach, the Compensation Committee retains discretion, which includes choosing and approving metrics, assessing strategic, operational and individual performance of our NEOs and approving the final ratings for each factor based on performance results. The Business Segment factor applied to the corporate officers (Ms. Hewson, Mr. Tanner, and Ms. Lavan) is the average of all Business Segment performance factors, which can be adjusted up or down (maximum 0.05) based on the Compensation Committee’s assessment. In accordance with the annual incentive plan, factors are determined in .05 increments.

Executive Compensation

2015 Goals for Enterprise Performance Factor

At its January 2015 meeting, the Compensation Committee approved enterprise-wide objectives for 2015 reflecting financial, strategic, and operational goals. These objectives serve as the corporate organizational goals for all participantsterms as well as the individualour disclosure regarding forward-looking statements concerning future performance or goals of the CEO. The Compensation Committee used the guidance we disclosed publicly at the beginning of the year for our financial metrics as disclosed in the 2015 proxy statement. We believe this approach to setting the financial metrics for annual bonus purposes appropriately links compensation to our effectiveness in meeting our public commitments to our stockholders.

Financial Commitments:Our financial commitments are established at the completion of our annual long-range planning process and are consistent with our long-range plan commitments. The long-range planning process includes reviews of the assumptions used by the Business Segments in generating their financial projections, such as industry trends and competitive assessments, current and future projected program performance levels and the risks and opportunities surrounding these baseline assumptions. Business Segment financial projections also are compared against historical patterns of performance. The long-range plan on which our financial goals are based is tied to the business environment in which we operate, which can vary year over year. In recent years, the U.S. Government, representing 78% of our net revenues for 2015, has faced significant deficit reduction pressures that are likely to continue.

Our long-range plan values for Orders, Sales, Segment Operating Profit (see Appendix A for definition of non-GAAP terms) and Cash from Operations represent the target level (1.0 rating) for each of these metrics. We established maximum (1.30 rating for Enterprise, 1.25 rating for Business Segments) and threshold payout levels (0.50 rating) around these targets based on a review of historical performance against long-range plan commitments for each of the four annual incentive goal metrics. We used straight-line interpolation between target and both maximum and minimum historical performance levels. In all cases, payouts deteriorate more rapidly as we move from target level to the minimum payout level compared to the level of increase as we move from target level to maximum payout level. This asymmetry reflects the importance we place on meeting our financial goals.

Strategic and Operational Commitments:Our strategic and operational performance assessments are inherently different than financial performance assessments. For the 2015 performance year, objective metrics were set for each of our strategic and operational commitments at the beginning of the year. The Compensation Committee used these metrics as a reference point for its assessment along with past levels of performance to identify the top and bottom of the performance rating range and the expected target level. The Compensation Committee also took into account qualitative considerations that could not be forecasted reliably and used discretion where appropriate to evaluate the level of performance. For example, because some strategic goals, such as having “no Red Programs” are aspirational in nature, achieving the goal represents the maximum rating rather than the target rating (we designate a program as a “Red Program” when it has a value over $100 million and exhibits significant cost, schedule, technical or quality challenges).

Performance Ratings

Performance ratings for 2015 were determined using the scales below. The higher maximum rating for the Enterprise performance factor reflects the importance we place on company-wide results.

Enterprise performance (0.00 rating or 0.50 – 1.30 rating)
Business Segment performance (0.00 rating or 0.50 – 1.25 rating)
Individual performance (0.00 rating or 0.50 – 1.25 rating)

Enterprise Financial Assessment (60% of Enterprise Performance)

Executive Compensation

Base Salary

Base salaries are reviewed annually and may be increased to align more appropriately with the market rate (50th percentile), taking into account the executive’s individual performance and internal pay equity. In establishing the base salary for each NEO, we determined the market rate using comparator group company data and evaluated whether the market rate should be adjusted up or down based on differences in the scope of the NEO’s position as compared to the industry and the comparator group companies.

2017 Annual Incentive

As was the case for 2016, the 2017 annual incentive plan for our CEO, other NEOs and all other officers elected by the Board, was based 70% on financial goals and 30% on strategic and operational goals measured at the Enterprise level, as illustrated in the graphic below. Although the annual incentive plan uses a formulaic approach, the Compensation Committee retains discretion, which includes choosing and approving goals, assessing strategic and operational results and modifying payouts for all officers elected by the Board, including the NEOs.

Under the terms of our annual incentive plan, the CEO’s bonus cannot exceed 0.3% of Performance Cash (see Appendix B for non-GAAP definition) and the bonus for each of the other NEOs cannot exceed 0.2% of Performance Cash. Annual incentive payouts range from 0% to 200% of target.

2017 Annual Incentive Goals and Results

At its January 2017 meeting, the Compensation Committee approved Enterprise-wide objectives for 2017 reflecting financial and strategic and operational goals. These goals are used as the Enterprise Component for all executives in the Corporation and serve as the only goals for the CEO, other NEOs and all other officers elected by the Board.

Financial Assessment (70% Weight).The financial targets utilized under the annual incentive plan align with the guidance we disclosed publicly at the beginning of 2017. We believe this approach to setting the financial metrics for annual incentive purposes appropriately links compensation to our effectiveness in meeting our public commitments to our stockholders.

Our financial commitments are established at the completion of our annual long-range planning process and are consistent with our long-range plan commitments. The long-range planning process includes reviews of the assumptions used by the business segments in generating their financial projections, such as industry trends and competitive assessments, current and future projected program performance levels and the risks and opportunities surrounding these baseline assumptions. The long-range plan on which our financial goals are based is tied to the business environment in which we operate and can vary year-over-year.

Our long-range plan values for Sales, Segment Operating Profit (see Appendix B for definition of non-GAAP terms) and Cash from Operations are set forth in the 2017 guidance we provided publicly to investors in January 2017 and represent the target level (100% performance rating) for each of these metrics. We established maximum (200% performance rating) and threshold payout levels (50% performance rating) around these targets based on a review of historical performance against long range plan commitments for each of the three annual incentive goal metrics, which ensures the appropriate level of rigor on each of the threshold, target and maximum goals. We used straight-line interpolation between target and both maximum and minimum historical performance levels. In all cases, payouts deteriorate more rapidly as we move from target level to the minimum payout level compared to the level of increase as we move from target level to maximum payout level. This asymmetry reflects the importance we place on meeting our financial goals. The Compensation Committee reviewed the methodology and the targets established as part of its annual process during 2017.

2017 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Committee considered a variety of factors in addition to the calculated score to determine the final Enterprise Performance Factor. The Compensation Committee reviewed the outstanding financial, strategic and operational results while also considering the efforts taken in reshaping the Corporation’s portfolio for future growth, which included the acquisition of Sikorsky and the realignment of the IS&GS businesses. The Compensation Committee recognized that these initiatives have far-reaching consequences, but are difficult to forecast, do not readily lend themselves to an advance goal setting structure and fall outside the normal formulaic assessment of achievements. The Compensation Committee also considered other achievements in 2015 that were not part of the forecasted metrics, including our record backlog in 2015, management’s execution of strategic priorities without disruption to existing businesses, international growth and affordability improvements. The Compensation Committee increased the Enterprise Factor because they viewed the Corporation’s 2015 successes as the result of a coordinated Corporate-wide effort.

Individual Performance

For 2015, the following individual performance definitions were used, which align with the Corporation’s individual performance management system:

FactorPerformance Definitions
1.15 – 1.25Significantly exceeded all or majority of commitments and met or exceeded all behavioral expectations.
1.00 – 1.15Exceeded all or majority of commitments and met or exceeded behavioral expectations.

0.00 or 0.50 – 0.75Did not achieve majority of commitments and/or did not meet majority of behavioral expectations.

In January 2016, the Compensation Committee approved a factor for each NEO based on achievement of individual performance goals established at the beginning of 2015. The individual goals and assessments take into account both the Enterprise and/or Business Segment results, as well as the individual’s impact on the overall organization, the difficulty of their roles and their leadership contributions. The Compensation Committee evaluated the performance of each of our NEOs and assigned an individualperformance factor for their 2015 awards. The Compensation Committee concluded that the performance of each of the NEOs exceeded his or her commitments for the year and warranted an individual performance factor above the 1.0 target level. In making that determination, the Compensation Committee took a wide range of accomplishments into account including but not limited to the following:

Executive Compensation

PSU Awards (50% of the LTI award)

PSU awards are calculated by multiplying the overall target LTI award value by the weighting assigned to the PSU element. The total PSU value is then multiplied by the weighting assigned to each PSU component (50% to Relative TSR, 25% to ROIC, 25% to Performance Cash). The number of PSUs granted is based on the grant date fair market value of each PSU element using the Monte Carlo simulation method for the Relative TSR component and the grant date fair market value discounted to reflect the deferral of dividends for ROIC and Performance Cash components.

Each NEO’s PSU target number of shares is determined at the beginning of the three-year performance period and the actual number of shares earned at the end of the period is calculated based on our performance measured against the three financial metrics.

The number of shares granted at the end of the cycle can range from 0% to 200% of the applicable target number of shares. If TSR is negative at the end of the performance cycle, the rating for 2015, the Compensation Committee took into consideration a variety of factors, including the number of awards outstanding and shares remaining available for issuance under the Corporation’s equity incentive plans, the number of shares that would be issued under contemplated awards over the range of potential performance achievement, the total number of the Corporation’s outstanding shares, the resulting implications for stockholder dilution and the number of shares granted to our executives year over year.

PSU Awards (50% of the LTI award)

PSU awards are calculated by multiplying the overall target LTI award value by the weighting assigned to the PSU element. The total PSU value is then multiplied by the weighting assigned to each PSU component (50% to Relative TSR, 25% to ROIC, 25% to Performance Cash). The number of PSUs granted is based on the fair value of each PSU element on the date of grant using the Monte Carlo simulation method for the Relative TSR component and the fair value on the date of grant discounted to reflect the deferral of dividends for ROIC and Performance Cash components.

Each NEO’s PSU target number of shares is determined at the beginning of the three-year performance period and the actual number of shares earned at the end of the period is calculated based on our performance measured against the three financial metrics: Relative TSR, ROIC and Performance Cash.

The number of shares granted at the end of the cycle can range from 0% to 200% of the applicable target number of shares. If TSR is negative at the end of the performance cycle, the ratingfor the Relative TSR measure is capped at 100%. In addition, the maximum value that can be earned under a PSU award is 400% of the stock price on the date of grant times the shares earned. The award calculation is formulaic and no adjustment can be made to the final number of shares granted. Participants also receive deferred dividend equivalents on the shares earned, which are only paid following vesting of the underlying shares.

LTIP Awards (20% of the LTI award)

LTIP awards are cash-based and are calculated by multiplying the overall target LTI award value by the weighting assigned to the LTIP element.

Each NEO’s LTIP target is determined at the beginning of the three-year performance period and the actual award earned at the end of the period is calculated based on the same performance measures as those used for the PSUs: Relative TSR, ROIC and Performance Cash. Payouts can range from 0% to 200% of the applicable target. The award calculation is formulaic and no adjustment can be made to the final payout factor.

For the 2015-2017 LTIP grants, any amount payable to a single participant in excess of $10 million will be forfeited.

RSU Awards (30% of LTI award)

RSU awards are calculated by multiplying the overall target LTI award value by the weighting assigned to the RSU element. The number of RSUs granted is determined by the fair value on the date of grant times the shares earned. The award calculation is formulaic pursuant to the provisions defined in the award agreement and no adjustment can be made to the final number of shares granted, which is determined based on the performance outcomes relative to our pre-set metrics and goals. Participants also accrue dividend equivalents on the shares earned, which are paid in cash following vesting of the underlying shares.

LTIP Awards (20% of the LTI award)

LTIP awards are cash-based and are calculated by multiplying the overall target LTI award value by the weighting assigned to the LTIP element.

Each NEO’s LTIP target is determined at the beginning of the three-year performance period and the actual award earned at the end of the period is calculated based on the same performance measures as those used for the PSUs: Relative TSR, ROIC and Performance Cash. Payouts can range from 0% to 200% of the applicable target. The award calculation is formulaic pursuant to the provisions defined in the award agreement and no adjustment can be made to the final payout factor, which is determined based on the performance outcomes relative to our pre-set metrics and goals.

For the 2017-2019 LTIP grants, any amount payable to a single participant in excess of $10 million will be forfeited.

RSU Awards (30% of LTI award)

RSU awards are calculated by multiplying the overall target LTI award value by the weighting assigned to the RSU element. The number of RSUs granted is determined by the grant date fair market value discounted to reflect deferral of dividends.

All RSUs awarded to NEOs in 2015 were subject to forfeiture to the extent the grant date value of the RSUs exceeded 0.2% of 2015 Performance Cash in the case of the CEO and 0.1% of 2015 Performance Cash in the case of each of the other NEOs. These performance requirements were satisfied and no forfeitures occurred. Deferred dividend equivalents are accrued during the vesting period and paid following vesting of the underlying shares.

Selection of Performance Measures

The LTI performance metrics approved by the Compensation Committee are measures that we believe most effectively support our long-term business and strategic goals and directly tie the long-term goals of our executive leadership team to the interests of our stockholders.

All RSUs awarded to NEOs in 2017 were subject to forfeiture to the extent the grant date value of the RSUs exceeded 0.2% of 2017 Performance Cash in the case of the CEO and 0.1% of 2017 Performance Cash in the case of each of the other NEOs. These performance requirements were satisfied and no forfeitures occurred. Deferred dividend equivalents are accrued during the vesting period and paid in cash following the vesting of the underlying shares.

Selection of LTI Performance Measures

The LTI performance metrics approved by the Compensation Committee are measures that we believe most effectively support our long-term business and strategic goals and directly tie the long-term goals of our executive leadership team to the interests of our stockholders. The measurements used for the financial component of our 2017 annual incentive plan (Sales, Segment Operating Profit and Cash from Operations) also serve as the foundation for achieving our long-term goals such that we must consistently achieve or exceed the Corporation’s annual goals in order to achieve our LTI goals.

The selected LTI performance metrics consist of Relative TSR (50% weight), ROIC (25% weight) and Performance Cash (25%weight). We chose these three metrics because we believe they represent the best measures of value creation for the Corporation over a long-term period. We also applied equal weighting to the market-based measure of value creation, TSR, to what we believe are the best internal measures of value creation, Performance Cash and ROIC.

We selected Relative TSR to measure our performance against our industry peers in the S&P Aerospace Index. Because every industry faces different challenges and opportunities, we believe that comparing our TSR against peers facing a similar business environment is preferred to those outside our industry. While the S&P Aerospace Index is, in our judgment, the best index against which to compare our Relative TSR, we recognize that it does not perfectly correlate to the environment in which Lockheed Martin operates since some firms in the index are almost entirely in the commercial aerospace business, some are entirely government contractors and some have a mixture of the two businesses.

Executive Compensation

Because the Relative TSR index is not perfectly aligned with the businesses in which Lockheed Martin operates and because any number of macro-economic factors that could affect market performance are beyond the control of the Corporation, we use ROIC and Performance Cash as internal measures that can be directly affected by management’s decisions. ROIC measures how effectively we employ our capital over time, while our Performance Cash provides the means for investment or value creation. By including a cash measure in both our annual and long-term incentive plans, the plans also mitigate the risk of short-term cash strategies that do not create long-term value.

In tandem, we believe that these metrics drive the behaviors of our management team in ways that are intended to create the most value for our stockholders.

Setting Goals for LTI (PSUs and LTIP)

Our long-range planning process is used to establish the target (100% level of payment) for the Performance Cash and ROIC metrics in the PSU and LTIP grants. In setting minimum and maximum levels of payment, we reviewed historical levels of performance against long range plan commitments, and conducted sensitivity analyses on alternative outcomes focused on identifying likely minimum and maximum boundary performance levels. Levels between 100% and the minimum and maximum levels were derived using linear interpolation between the performance hurdles. As with our annual incentive performance goals, PSU and LTIP payouts deteriorate more rapidly as we move from target level to the minimum payout level than they increase as we move from target level to maximum payout level. This asymmetry reflects the importance we place on meeting our financial commitments.

The specific Performance Cash and ROIC target values for the 2017-2019 PSU and LTIP plans are not publicly disclosed at the time of grant due to the proprietary nature and competitive sensitivity of the information. However, the method used to calculate the awards will be based on actual performance compared to the Corporation’s 2017-2019 targets, which use straight-line interpolation between points. The individual award agreements require the adjustment of goals to ensure that the ultimate payouts are not impacted to the benefit or detriment of management by specified events, such as unplanned pension contributions, changes in accounting (GAAP) standards or impact of an acquisition or divestiture valued at more than $1 billion. The Compensation Committee does not have discretion to adjust the results of the PSU and LTIP awards beyond the adjustments specified in the award agreements.

2015-2017 LTIP and PSU Awards

The cash-based LTIP and share-based PSU payouts for the three-year performance period ended December 31, 2017, were calculated by comparing actual corporate performance for each metric for the period January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2017, against a table of payment levels from 0% to 200% (with the 100% payout level being considered target) established at the beginning of the performance period in January 2015.

For the three-year performance period ended December 31, 2017, actual results were above targeted levels for Relative TSR (weighted 50%) and Performance Cash (weighted 25%) metrics, which resulted in 200% and 179.6% payout factors, respectively. For the same period, actual ROIC (weighted 25%) was 17.1% compared to our pre-established target of 17.7% and generated a 0.0% payout factor, which pursuant to the formulaic nature of our plan, was negatively impacted by the debt issuance associated with our acquisition of Sikorsky. The awards are calculated pursuant to the provisions provided in the award agreements. The Compensation Committee cannot make any adjustments to the final payout factor.

2015-2017 PSU Awards

The 2015-2017 target PSU award value was allocated to each performance measure based on the pre-defined weightings, namely 50% to Relative TSR, 25% to ROIC, and 25% to Performance Cash. The number of PSUs granted for each element is based on the grant date fair market value using Monte Carlo simulation method for the Relative TSR component and the grant date fair market value discounted to reflect the deferral of dividends for ROIC and Performance Cash components. PSU awards earned are calculated by multiplying the payout factor for each performance metric by the target number of units for each performance metric. The actual value realized by the NEOs at vesting also depends on our stock price, which may be higher or lower than the grant date fair market value.

2018 Annual Incentive Metrics and Goals

There were no changes to our annual incentive plan design for the 2018 performance year.

The Compensation Committee approved the key corporate commitments set forth below for purposes of assessing performance in 2018. Although the annual incentive plan uses a formulaic approach to determine payout, the Compensation Committee retains discretion to modify the payouts for the CEO, other NEOs and all other officers elected by the Board.

2018 Financial Goals (Weight 70%)

The financial commitments are consistent with our long-range plan commitments, and are the same ranges we provided as public guidance in January 2018 in our year-end earnings release and in accordance with the new revenue recognition standard. Our Cash from Operations goal for 2018 is lower than our 2017 goal because the Corporation is accelerating future pension contributions of $3.4 billion to 2018 in order to preserve the benefit of the associated tax deduction at the higher statutory rate in 2017. These commitments for 2018 are set forth below.

Cash from Operations40%      ≥ 3,000M

For the purposes of assessing performance under our annual incentive program, results may be adjusted from reported amounts for the incremental benefits or impacts associated with non-recurring items, such as acquisitions or divestitures. Cash from Operations results have been adjusted in prior years for unplanned pension contributions so that the impact on incentive compensation is not a factor in the decision to make the additional pension contribution.

2018 Long-Term Incentive Award Opportunities

The Compensation Committee approved 2018 LTI award opportunities for all NEOs relative to their respective 2018 LTI market rate, the executive’s performance and internal pay equity.

For 2018, the LTI award opportunity for the CEO and the other NEOs is allocated 50% toward PSUs, 20% toward LTIP and 30% toward RSUs, unchanged from the 2017 equity pay mix.

The measures and terms of the 2018-2020 PSUs and LTIP awards are similar to the 2017-2019 awards (see pages 40-42). For the 2018-2020 LTIP grants, any amount payable to a single participant in excess of $10 million will be forfeited. RSU grants will no longer be subject to a one-year performance metric in light of the repeal of the exemption to the $1 million cap on deductibility under section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Other Compensation Matters

Our Use of Independent Compensation Consultants

The independent compensation consultant provides important information about market practices, the types and amounts of compensation offered to executives generally and the role of corporate governance considerations in making compensation decisions. The Compensation Committee’s charter authorizes it to retain outside advisors that it believes are appropriate to assist in evaluating executive compensation.

For 2017, the Compensation Committee continued to retain Meridian as an independent compensation consultant. In connection with its retention of Meridian, the Compensation Committee considered the following factors in assessing Meridian’s independence:

The 2013-2015 target PSU award value was allocated to each performance measure based on the pre-defined weightings, namely 50% to Relative TSR, 25% to ROIC, and 25% to Performance Cash. The number of PSUs granted for each element is based on the fair value on the date of grant using Monte Carlo simulationmethod
Meridian’s services for the Relative TSR componentCorporation are limited to executive and director compensation.

The compensation paid to Meridian is less than 1% of Meridian’s revenues.

Meridian has business ethics and insider trading and stock ownership policies, which are designed to avoid conflicts of interest.

Meridian employees supporting the fair value onengagement do not own Lockheed Martin securities.

Meridian employees supporting the dateengagement have no business or personal relationships with members of grant discounted to reflect the deferral of dividendsCompensation Committee or with any Lockheed Martin executive officer.

At its February 2018 meeting, the Compensation Committee renewed the engagement of Meridian. At that time, Meridian confirmed the continuing validity of each of the factors described above.

The nature and scope of Meridian’s engagement was determined by the Compensation Committee and not limited in any way by management. During 2017, Meridian also provided consultative services to the Governance Committee regarding the compensation of the Corporation’s independent directors. A description of the services provided by Meridian can be found on pages 34 and 65.

Policy Regarding Timing of Equity Grants

We have a corporate policy statement concerning the grant of equity awards. Under that policy:

The Compensation Committee is responsible for ROIC and Performance Cash components. PSU awards earned are calculated by multiplying the payout factor for each performance metric by the target number of units granted. The actual value realized by the NEO also depends on the price of our stock which may be higher or lower thandetermining the grant date fair value.

Benefit, Retirement and Perquisite Programs

In addition to base salary and annual and long-term incentive compensation, we offer a number of other compensatory arrangements to our executive officers. These indirect elements of executive compensation are not performance-based. The purpose for offering these benefits is to provide an overall total rewards package that ensures security of executives, are for business-related purposes, and are competitive with the other companies with which we compete for talent. Set forth below is a summary of the benefit, retirement and perquisite programs available to our NEOs.

ElementDescription

Health, Welfare and Retirement
Benefits

Our NEOs are eligible for savings, pension, medical and life insurance benefits under the plans available to salaried, non-union employees. We also make available supplemental pension and savings plans to employees (including the NEOs) to make up for benefits that otherwise would be unavailable due to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) limits on qualified plans. These plans are restorative and do not provide an enhanced benefit. We also offer a plan for the deferral of short-term and certain long-term incentive compensation, which allows our executives to defer all or a portion of their incentive compensation as part of their overall financial planning. All NEOs are eligible for four weeks of vacation annually.

In 2014, we announced that accruals for all employees (including the NEOs) under our defined benefit plan will be frozen in two steps, with compensation accruals frozen on January 1, 2016, and service accruals frozen on January 1, 2020. Thereafter, retirement benefits will be earned through defined contribution plans.

Perquisites and Security

We provide limited perquisites as a retention and recruiting tool to provide for the health, safety and business needs of our key executives. The perquisites provided to NEOs for 2015 are described in footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table on page 56. For security reasons, our Board has directed our CEO to use the corporate aircraft for personal travel. As an additional element of our security program, we provide home security to certain executives. We believe this approach is consistent with security generally provided to corporate executives in public companies in our industry.

Given the nature of our business, additional security may be provided for travel in high-risk areas or to address particular situations. The Board believes it is important to provide this protection due to the nature of our defense business and because it believes that an employee should not be placed at personal risk due to his or her association with the Corporation’s business. In the event of a threat to an executive officer, the Classified Business and Security Committee reviews and approves the security recommended by our Chief Security Officer. We believe that providing personal security in response to threats arising out of employment by the Corporation is business-related.all equity awards.

Description

Tax Assistance

We do not have agreements or severance arrangements that provide tax gross-ups (tax assistance) for excise taxes imposed as a result of a change in control. In 2015, we provided tax assistance for taxable business association expenses, security expenses and travel expenses for a family member accompanying a NEO for a business reason. In addition, we paid an amount estimated to cover the income tax imposed on employees (including the NEOs) who traveled out of their home state for business and became subject to income tax in another state due to the business travel. These items are reported in the “All Other Compensation” column of our Summary Compensation Table on page 54 and are further identified in the chart included in the footnote to that table on page 57. The IRS requires that the executive pay income tax for these items even though the executive receives no cash in connection with the item. Tax assistance for these perquisites took the form of additional payments and was made for the purposes of ensuring that these perquisites and the associated tax assistance were economically neutral to the NEOs. We believe the items for which we provide tax assistance are business-related and the associated tax liability imposed on the executive would not have been incurred unless business reasons required the items to be provided.earnings or during a trading blackout period.

2016 Annual Incentive Plan

Following various conversations with our stockholders, Board members and plan participants concerning the complexity in design features of our annual incentive program,Proposed equity awards are presented to the Compensation Committee engaged Meridianin January of each year and management engaged Willis Towers Watson to reviewstarting in 2018, will be presented in February of each year given a shift in the design of our annual incentive plan to better align with market best practice and reduce complexity.

We also sought stockholder input on the proposed design changes as part of our ongoing stockholder outreach program. Our stockholders were supportive of the new design. In particular, the simplified plan designBoard meeting calendar. Off-cycle awards may be considered in tandem with the enhanced weighting on financial criteria, was viewed positively by our institutional stockholders.

In the September 2015 meeting, the Compensation Committee approved amendments to the annual incentive plan, effective for 2016 annual incentives, to (i) eliminate the Business Segment and Individual performance factors for the CEO and her direct reports (including the NEOs); (ii) increase the weighting of the Financialcomponent from 60% to 70%Committee’s discretion in special circumstances, which may include hiring, retention or acquisition transactions.

In addition, our existing incentive performance award plan prohibits repricing of stock options or paying cash for underwater stock options.

Clawback and Other Protective Provisions

The Governance Guidelines include a clawback policy. If the Board determines that an officer’s intentional misconduct, gross negligence or failure to report such acts by another person was a contributing factor in requiring us to restate any of our financial statements or constituted fraud, bribery or another illegal act (or contributed to another person’s fraud, bribery or other illegal act) which adversely impacted our financial position or reputation, then the Board shall take such action as it deems in the best interest of the Corporation and necessary to remedy the misconduct and prevent its recurrence. Among other actions, the Board may seek to recover or require reimbursement of any amount awarded to the officer after January 1, 2008, in the form of an annual incentive bonus or LTI award.

The clawback policy is included in our annual incentive plan and in the award agreements for the RSUs, stock options, PSUs and LTIP. There were no events requiring Board consideration of a clawback action during 2017.

In the event the Board recoups incentive compensation under the Enterprise Performance factor, with the remaining 30% of the Enterprise Performance factor to be based on key strategic and operational goals; and (iii) remove Orders from the financial metric under the Enterprise component given the timing issues surrounding Orders in our industry and because they are considered under strategic and operational goals, as manifested in key new business won or retained.

The Compensation Committee, in collaboration with the executive leadership team, will continue to set pre-established measures at the beginning of the performance cycle, which will be disclosed to stockholders prospectively, similar to our current practice.

The new design is intended to:

Align with stockholder interests given the emphasis on key metrics that drive performance at the enterprise level;

Support a more collaborative team approach among the CEO’s direct reports, including our NEOs; and

Enhance line of sight and goal congruence through a simplified design for plan participants.

The Board or Compensation Committee may adjust a NEO’s payout at their discretion.

As in prior years, the Compensation Committee retains discretion in setting target levels for participants, choosing and approving metrics, assigning weighting to the metrics and assessing performance.

Under the terms of the annual incentive program, as amended, the CEO’s bonus still may not exceed 0.3% of Performance Cash from operations for the plan year and the bonus for each of the other NEOs may not exceed 0.2% of Performance Cash from operations for the plan year. These caps were not modified and remain consistent with the prior plan features. Similarly, annual incentive payouts for any participant may not exceed 200% of the target award.

No changes were made to annual incentive target percentages for any of the NEOs for 2016 other than for our EVP & CFO, which was increased to 110% of his base salary to better align with the 2016 market rate (50th percentile).

2016 Annual Incentive Metrics and Goals

The Compensation Committee approved the key corporate commitments set forth below for purposes of assessing performance in 2016.

2016 Enterprise Financial Goals (Weighted 70%)

The financial commitments for the Enterprise Performance Factor are consistent with our long-range plan commitments, and are the same ranges we provided as public guidance in January 2016 in our year-end earnings release. These commitments for 2016 are set forth below.

2016 CommitmentsWeighting2016 Goal
($M)
Sales20%49,500 – 51,000
Segment Operating Profit40%4,900 – 5,050
Cash from Operations40%5,300

For the purposes of assessing performance under our annual incentive program, results may be adjusted from reported amounts for the incremental benefits or impacts associated with non-recurring items, such as acquisitions or divestitures. Our 2016 public guidance assumed a full year of operations of our IS&GS business segment. The Leidos transaction is expected to be completed in the third or fourth quarter of 2016 and an adjustment could be made to take into account the completion of the transaction. Cash from Operations results have been adjusted in prior years for unplanned pension contributions so that the impact on incentive compensation is not a factor in the decision to make the additional pension contribution.

Executive Compensation

2016 Enterprise Strategic and Operational Goals (Weighted 30%)

The strategic and operational commitments for the Enterprise Performance Factor for 2016 are set forth below:

Secure key Focus and Keep Sold Program wins.

Achieve Mission Success® milestones.

Execute programs to achieve customer satisfaction and increase stockholder value.

Review portfolio on an ongoing basis to maximize stockholder value, to include mergers and acquisition activity, execution of the strategic review and appropriate technology and other enterprise investments.

Attract, develop and retain the workforce needed to deliver commitments to customers and stockholders.

2016 Long-Term Incentive Award Opportunities

The Compensation Committee approved 2016 LTI award opportunities for all executive officers commensurate with their respective 2016 LTI market rate, the executive’s performance and time in position.

For 2016, the LTI award opportunity for the CEO and the other NEOs is allocated 50% toward PSUs, 20% toward LTIP and 30% toward RSUs.

The terms of the 2016-2018 RSU grants are the same as for the 2015-2017 RSUs awards (see page 45), other than the following changes:

The grants will vest on a pro-rata basis in the event of a divestiture (rather than accelerated vesting), unless the other party to the divestiture assumes the awards fully and continues the awards on the same terms.

The awards will be forfeited if the executive is terminated for misconduct, even if retirement eligible.

The same measures and approach used for the 2015-2017 PSU and LTIP awards (see page 45) will be used to determine the 2016-2018 PSU and LTIP awards, other than the following:

The targets for Performance Cash and ROIC will be adjusted to exclude the impact of an acquisition or divestiture valued at more than $1 billion. (Note: this provision does not apply to the 2014-2016 or 2015-2017 awards.)

The awards will be forfeited if the executive is terminated for misconduct, even if retirement eligible.

For the 2016-2018 LTIP grants, any amount payable to a single participant in excess of $10 million will be forfeited.

Other Corporate Governance Considerations in Compensation

Our Use of Independent Compensation Consultants

The independent compensation consultant provides important information about market practices, the types and amounts of compensation offered to executives generally and the role of corporate governance considerations in making compensation decisions. The Compensation Committee’s charter authorizes it to retain outside advisors that it believes are appropriate to assist in evaluating executive compensation.

For 2015, the Compensation Committee continued to retain Meridian as an independent compensation consultant. In connection with its retention of Meridian, the Compensation Committee considered the following factors in assessing Meridian’s independence:

Meridian does not perform other services for the Corporation.

The compensation paid to Meridian is less than 1% of Meridian’s revenues.

Meridian has business ethics and insider trading and stock ownership policies, which are designed to avoid conflicts of interest.

Meridian employees supporting the engagement do not own Lockheed Martin securities.

Meridian employees supporting the engagement have no business or personal relationships with members of the Compensation Committee or with any Lockheed Martin executive officer.

Executive Compensation

At its February 2016 meeting, the Compensation Committee renewed the engagement of Meridian. At that time, Meridian confirmed the continuing validity of each of the factors described above.

The nature and scope of Meridian’s engagement was determined by the Compensation Committee and not limited in any way by management. A description of the services provided by Meridian can be found on page 36.

Policy Regarding Timing of Equity Grants

We have a corporate policy statement concerning the grant of equity awards. Under that policy:

The Compensation Committee is responsible for determining the grant date of all equity awards.

No equity award may be backdated. A future date may be used if, among other reasons, the Compensation Committee’s action occurs in proximity to the release of earnings or during a trading blackout period.

Proposed equity awards are presented to the Compensation Committee in January of each year. Off-cycle awards may be considered in the Compensation Committee’s discretion in special circumstances, which may include hiring, retention or acquisition transactions.

In addition, our existing incentive performance award plan prohibits repricing of stock options or paying cash for underwater stock options.

Clawback and Other Protective Provisions

The Governance Guidelines include a clawback policy. Under the policy (as incorporated in our award agreements), if the Board determines that an officer’s intentional misconduct, gross negligence or failure to report such acts by another person:

was a contributing factor in requiring us to restate any of our financial statements; or

constituted fraud, bribery or another illegal act, or contributed to another person’s fraud, bribery or other illegal act, which adversely impacted our financial position or reputation;

the Board shall take such action as it deems in the best interests of the Corporation and necessary to remedy the misconduct and prevent its recurrence. Among other actions, the Board may seek to recover or require reimbursement of any amount awarded to the officer after January 1, 2008, in the form of an annual incentive bonus or LTI award.

The clawback policy is included in our annual incentive plan and in the award agreements for the RSUs, stock options, PSUs and LTIP.

In the event the Board recoups incentive compensation under our policy, management intends to disclose the aggregate amount of incentive compensation recovered, so long as the underlying event has already been publicly disclosed in our filings with the SEC. This disclosure would appear in the proxy statement following any such Board action and would provide the aggregate amount of recovery for each event if there is more than one applicable event.

The award agreements for the NEOs also contain post-employment restrictive covenants. The post-employment restrictions were incorporated into all executive level award agreements beginning in 2011.

There were no clawback actions taken by the Board during 2015.2018 Proxy Statement

Anti-Hedging and Pledging Policy

Our policies prohibit hedging and pledging of Lockheed Martin stock by all directors, officers and employees.

Stock Ownership Requirements for Key Employees

To better align their interests with the long-term interests of our stockholders, we expect our officers (including the NEOs) and other members of management to maintain an ownership interest in the Corporation based on the following guidelines:

TitleAnnual Base
Salary Multiple
Chairman, President and CEO6 times
Chief Financial Officer4 times
Executive Vice Presidents3 times
Senior Vice Presidents2 times

NEOs are required to achieve ownership levels within five years of assuming their role and must hold net shares from vested RSUs and PSUs and net shares from options exercised until the value of the shares equals the specified multiple of base salary. The securities counted toward their respective target threshold include common stock, unvested RSUs, and stock units under our 401(k) plans and other deferral plans. Unvested PSUs at target are not counted towards ownership levels. Each of our NEOs has exceeded their respective ownership requirements.

Benefit, Retirement and Perquisite Programs

We offer other compensatory arrangements to our NEOs. The purpose for these benefits is to ensure security of executives, provide assistance with business-related expenses, and be competitive with the other companies in our industry. Below is a summary of programs available to our NEOs. Further details are described in footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table on page 51.

Health, Welfare and Retirement Benefits.Our NEOs are eligible for savings, pension, medical, disability, and life insurance benefits under the plans available to salaried, non-union employees. We offer supplemental pension and savings plans to make up for benefits that otherwise would be unavailable due to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) limits on qualified plans. These plans are restorative and do not provide an enhanced benefit. We also offer a plan for the deferral of short-term and certain long-term cash incentive compensation. All NEOs are eligible for four weeks of vacation annually.

Perquisites and Security.We provide limited perquisites, including executive physicals and personal travel on the corporate aircraft, as well as home and personal security as needed to address security concerns arising out of our business. We believe security is necessary and generally provided to executives within our industry given the nature of our business. In the event of a threat to an executive officer, the CBS Committee reviews and approves the security recommended by our Chief Security Officer. Furthermore, our Board has directed our CEO to use corporate aircraft for security reasons while on personal travel. Other NEOs may use the corporate aircraft for personal travel dependent upon circumstances and availability.

Tax Assistance.We do not have agreements or severance arrangements that provide tax gross-ups for excise taxes imposed as a result of a change in control. In 2017, we provided tax assistance for taxable security expenses, business association expenses and travel expenses for a family member accompanying a NEO for a business reason. We pay an amount estimated to cover the income tax imposed on employees who became subject to income tax in another state due to business travel. Tax assistance was provided for these items because the associated tax liability imposed on the executive would not have been incurred unless business reasons required the items to be provided.

Post-Employment, Change in Control, Divestiture and Severance Benefits

Our NEOs do not have employment agreements but participate in the Lockheed Martin Corporation Executive Severance Plan. Benefits are payable under this plan in the event of a company-initiated termination of employment other than for cause. All of the NEOs are covered under the plan.

The benefit payable in a lump sum under the plan is two weeks of basic severance plus a supplemental payment of one times the NEO’s base salary and the equivalent of one year’s target annual incentive bonus. For the CEO, the multiplier is 2.99 instead of one.

NEOs participating in the plan also receive a lump sum payment to cover the cost of medical benefits for one year in addition to outplacement and relocation services. To receive the supplemental severance benefit, the NEO must execute a release of claims and an agreement containing post-employment, non-compete and non-solicitation covenants comparable to those included in our NEOs’ LTI award agreements.

With respect to LTI, upon certain terminations of employment, including death, disability, retirement, layoff, divestiture or a change in control, the NEOs may be eligible for continued vesting on the normal schedule, immediate payment of benefits previously earned or accelerated vesting of LTI in full or on a pro rata basis.

Table of Contents

Executive Compensation

The type of event and the nature of the benefit determine which of these approaches will apply. The purpose of these provisions is to protect previously earned or granted benefits by making them available following the specified event. We view the vesting (or continued vesting) to be an important retention feature for senior-level employees. Because benefits paid at termination consist of previously granted or earned benefits, we do not consider termination benefits as a separate item in compensation decisions. Our LTI awards do not provide for tax assistance.

In the event of a change in control, our plans provide for the acceleration of the payment of the nonqualified portion of earned pension benefits and nonqualified deferred compensation. All LTI awards require a “double trigger” for vesting to accelerate (both a change in control and a qualifying termination of employment), unless the successor does not assume or continue the awards or provide substitute awards.

Tax Deductibility of Executive Compensation

We designed our annual incentive and LTI programs for NEOs to quality as performance-based compensation exempt from the $1 million cap on deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The exemption from Section 162(m)’s deduction limit for performance-based compensation has been repealed, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017. As a result, compensation paid to our NEOs after December 31, 2017 in excess of $1 million will not be deductible unless it qualifies for transition relief applicable to certain binding contracts in place as of November 2, 2017 and which were not materially modified after that date. It appears that the transition relief was not intended to apply to programs with a discretionary component such as our annual incentive plan which would mean that annual incentive payments made to our NEOs in 2018 for service in 2017 would not be deductible. We do not view our long-term incentive plans as having a discretionary component and will seek to qualify the 2015, 2016 and 2017 grants as covered by the transition relief. Until there is further guidance, there is no assurance we will be successful. The Compensation Committee reserves the right to modify compensation that was initially intended to be exempt from Section 162(m) or to grant executive compensation that is not performance-based if the Committee determines that such modifications or grants are permissible and consistent with our executive compensation philosophy.

The ASC 718 grant date fair value of one 2017 RSU ($254.51), 2016 RSU ($206.37), and one 2015 RSU ($192.28), is the closing price of one share of our stock on the date of grant, discounted to take into account the deferred dividend equivalents that are accrued until vesting.

Values for the PSUs, which are subject to performance conditions, are based on the probable outcome on the grant date of three separate performance conditions (approximately 50% of the target shares are earned based upon Relative TSR, approximately 25% of the target shares are earned based upon Performance Cash, and approximately 25% of the target shares are earned based upon ROIC).

The grant date fair value of $266.41 for 2017, $212.37 for 2016, and $188.96 for 2015 for the Relative TSR portion of the PSU award was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The value was determined using the historical stock price volatilities of the companies in our comparator group over the most recent 2.93-year period for 2017 and 2016 and 2.92-year period for 2015, assuming dividends for each company are reinvested on a continuous basis and a risk-free rate of interest of 1.47% for 2017, 1.03% for 2016, and 0.81% for 2015 and that deferred dividend equivalents accrued on shares earned will be paid in cash upon vesting. The grant date fair value of $254.51 for 2017, $206.37 for 2016, and $192.28 for 2015 for the Performance Cash and ROIC portions of the awards is based on the closing price of our stock on the date of grant, discounted to take into account the deferred dividend equivalents that are accrued until vesting. In addition to the level of performance achieved, the value of the PSUs earned will be determined by the price of our stock which may be more or less than the grant date fair value.

The maximum grant date fair values of the 2017 PSU awards, assuming a 200% maximum payout on all three metrics are as follows: Ms. Hewson: $11,880,697; Mr. Tanner: $4,200,593; Mr. Bennett: $3,350,904; Mr. Carvalho: $3,350,904 and Ms. Lavan: $2,700,620.

The maximum grant date fair values of the 2016 PSU awards, assuming a 200% maximum payout on all three metrics are as follows: Ms. Hewson: $11,535,598; Mr. Tanner: $4,015,313; Mr. Bennett: $3,320,349; Mr. Carvalho: $3,320,349 and Ms. Lavan: $2,660,547.

The maximum grant date fair values of the 2015 PSU awards, assuming a 200% maximum payout on all three metrics are as follows: Ms. Hewson: $11,206,028; Mr. Tanner: $4,017,182; Mr. Bennett: $2,501,498; Mr. Carvalho: $3,002,023; and Ms. Lavan: $2,601,754.

Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings (Column (h))

Reports the present value of the change in pension benefit for the NEO for the year reported (for example, from December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2017) and is not the amount that will be paid to the NEO.

The disclosure is based on the Corporation’s final average compensation formula in its defined benefit plan which multiplies a percentage (1.25% of compensation below the social security wage base and 1.5% above that level) times years of service times the average of the employee’s highest three years of compensation in the last ten years ending with 2015. This is the same formula used for all participants accruing a pension benefit in 2017; none of the NEOs (including Ms. Hewson) has been credited with any extra years of service or provided a benefit from a special or enhanced formula. Under a three-year final average compensation formula, increasing service, age and compensation will result in an increase in the earned benefit. Prior to 2016, when an employee received a compensation increase, the three-year average compensation that went into the formula would likewise increase. In the past, the impact of that increase in the average would have been greater with a longer service employee because the pension formula multiplies the now-higher average compensation by years of service. Effective January 1, 2016, the pay element of the pension calculation was frozen. With pay no longer a factor, any increase in a NEO’s pension benefit is based on service alone. The year-over-year value is also affected by the changes in interest rate and life expectancy (longevity) assumptions.

The Summary Compensation Table uses the same interest rate and longevity assumptions that we use to report pension liabilities for all pension plan participants in our financial statements. These assumptions are updated annually for the year-end measurements of our pension plans. The amounts reported for 2017, 2016 and 2015 used a discount rate of 3.625%, 4.125% and 4.375%, respectively, as the interest rate. In October 2017, 2016, and 2015, the Society of Actuaries published revised longevity assumptions that refined its publication beginning in 2014. We used the revised assumptions indicating a shortened longevity compared with each prior year.

All Other Compensation (Column (i))

Perquisites and other personal benefits provided to the NEOs in 2017 included: security; annual executive physicals; business association expenses; use of corporate aircraft for personal travel; and travel for a family member accompanying the NEO while on business travel. Not all of the listed perquisites or personal benefits were provided to each NEO. In addition, the Corporation made available event tickets and a company-provided car and driver for personal commuting to some of the NEOs, but required the NEOs to reimburse the Corporation for the incremental cost to the Corporation in 2017 of such items. The cost of any category of the listed perquisites and personal benefits did not exceed the greater of $25,000 or 10% of total perquisites and personal benefits for any NEO, except for: (i) security for Ms. Hewson ($138,731); (ii) personal use of the corporate aircraft for Ms. Hewson ($300,326); for Mr. Tanner ($35,272); for Mr. Bennett ($142,404); and for Mr. Carvalho ($47,720); and (iii) travel for a family member accompanying the NEO while on business travel for Mr. Carvalho ($32,268). The incremental cost for use of corporate aircraft for personal travel was calculated based on the total personal travel flight hours multiplied by the estimated hourly aircraft operating costs for 2017 (including fuel, maintenance, staff travel expenses, and other variable costs, but excluding fixed capital costs for the aircraft, hangar facilities, and staff salaries).

The incremental cost for personal security is calculated based on billings for services and equipment from third parties and for overtime and related expenses where the services are provided by the Corporation’s personnel. Given the nature of our business, additional security may be provided for travel in high-risk areas or to address particular situations. We believe that providing personal security in response to concerns arising out of employment by the Corporation is business-related.

In addition to perquisites, column (i) also contains items of compensation listed in the following table. All items are paid under broad-based programs for U.S. salaried employees except for the tax assistance and the Lockheed Martin Corporation Supplemental Savings Plan (NQSSP) and the Lockheed Martin Corporation Non-qualified Capital Accumulation Plan (NCAP) (together, the Nonqualified Defined Contribution Plans) match or Corporation contributions. Items include matching contributions made to eligible universities, colleges and other non-profit organizations under the Corporation’s matching gift programs available to all employees. Listed amounts may include contributions made in 2018 to match 2017 executive contributions.

*Total Without Change in Pension Value

The separate column labeled “Total Without Change in Pension Value” shows total compensation as required to be disclosed by the SEC in column (j) less the amount shown in Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings in column (h). We provided this column because the amount reported in column (h) for Change in Pension Value is not current compensation and represents the present value of an estimated stream of payments to be made following retirement. The methodology used to report the Change in Pension Value underapplicable accounting rules is sensitive to assumptions about life expectancy and changes in the discount rate determined at each year end, which are functions of economic factors and actuarial calculations that are outside of the control of the Compensation Committee. The amounts shown in the separate column are not a substitute for the amounts reported in the Total column, and differ substantially from the amounts reported in the Total column for several reasons.

Estimated Future Payouts Under Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards (Columns (c), (d) and (e))

Includes annual incentive grants (MICP) for 2017 and LTIP grants for the 2017-2019 period ending December 31, 2019.

The MICP measures performance over a one-year period and is described under “2017 Annual Incentive” on page 38. The threshold, or minimum amount payable (assuming an award is earned), is 7% of target while the maximum is 200% of target.

The LTIP award measures performance against three separate metrics described under “2017 Long-Term Incentive Compensation” on page 40. The threshold is the minimum amount payable for a specified level of performance stated in the LTIP award agreement. For the 2017-2019 award, the threshold amountpayable is 6.25% of the target award. The maximum award payable under the LTIP award is 200% of target value. Awards are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment prior to the end of the performance cycle, except in the event of retirement, death, disability, divestiture or layoff. If death, disability, or divestiture occurs prior to the end of the performance period, LTIP awards are prorated. If the employee retires or is laid off after July 26, 2017, but prior to the end of the performance period, the LTIP awards are prorated. Following a change in control, the 2017-2019 LTIP awards vest at the target amount upon involuntary termination without cause or voluntary termination with good reason or if the successor does not assume the LTIP awards.

Executive Compensation

Estimated Future Payouts Under Equity Incentive Plan Awards (Columns (f), (g) and (h))

Shows the number of RSUs granted by the Compensation Committee on January 26, 2017. The RSU grants made to the NEOs were subject to forfeiture to the extent the value of the RSUs granted to a recipient on the award date was greater than 0.2% for the CEO and 0.1% for each of the other NEOs of 2017 Performance Cash. Based on 2017 Performance Cash, none of the RSUs were forfeited. The RSUs vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant or upon death or disability. The 2017 RSUs are prorated upon divestiture if not assumed by the successor. Following a change in control, the RSUs vest upon involuntary termination without cause or voluntary termination for good reason or if the successor does not assume the RSUs. If the employee retires or is laid off after July 26, 2017, but prior to the third anniversary of the date of grant, the RSUs become nonforfeitable and are paid at the end of the vesting period. During the vesting period, deferred dividend equivalents are accrued and subject to the same vesting schedule as the underlying RSUs. At the end of the vesting period, the RSUs are paid in shares of stock and the accrued dividend equivalents are paid in cash. If any tax withholding is required on the 2017 RSUs or accrued dividend equivalents during the vesting period (for example, on account of retirement eligibility), the RSUs provide for accelerated vesting of the number of shares or accrued dividend equivalents required to satisfy the tax withholding. The award is then reduced either by the number of shares or by the amount of accrued dividend equivalents subject to acceleration ofvesting for tax withholding. The table includes PSU awards for the 2017-2019 period ending December 31, 2019. At the end of the three-year vesting period, which ends on the third anniversary of the date of grant, the amount earned is payable in shares of stock and cash representing deferred dividend equivalents accrued on the earned shares during the three-year performance period. Awards are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment prior to the end of the vesting period, except in the event of termination following retirement, or layoff occurring after July 26, 2017, death, disability or divestiture. In any of these events, PSU awards are paid out at the end of the vesting period on a prorated basis. Following a change in control, the PSUs vest at the target amount upon involuntary termination without cause or voluntary termination with good reason or if the successor does not assume the PSUs.

Shares are earned under the PSU awards based upon performance against three separate metrics described under “PSU Awards” on page 41. If performance falls below the threshold level of performance for a metric, no shares would be earned with respect to that metric. Assuming any payment is earned, the minimum amount payable under the PSU award is 25% of the target shares attributable to ROIC or Performance Cash, the lowest level payable under these metrics. The maximum number of shares payable under the PSU is 200% of the number of target shares.

Grant Date Fair Value of Stock Awards (Column (1))

Represents the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718 for RSUs and PSUs granted in 2017, disregarding potential forfeitures based on service requirements.

The grant date fair value of the 2017 RSU grant is $254.51 per RSU, which is based on the closing price of one share of our stock on the date of grant, discounted to take into account the deferred dividend equivalents accrued until vesting.

The grant date fair value for the PSUs, which are subject to performance conditions, is based on the probable outcome of each of the three performance conditions. The grant date fair value of $266.41 for the Relative TSR portion of the award is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The grant date fair value of $254.51 for the Performance Cash and ROIC portions of the awards is based on the closing price of one share of our stock on the date of grant, discounted to take into account the deferred dividend equivalents accrued until vesting.

We reported RSUs granted in January 2017 as equity incentive awards in columns (f) through (h) of the “2017 Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table because there was the potential for forfeiture based on failure to achieve the performance metrics specified in the award agreements. For this table, we reported the January 2017 RSUs in columns (g) and (h) because the performance feature of the RSU grants was satisfied at the end of 2017. This column also includes PSUs granted on January 29, 2015 for the 2015-2017 performance period. The vesting period for the PSUs ended on January 29, 2018 and the performance period ended on December 31, 2017. The number of shares shown in column (g) for the 2015-2017 PSUs is the number of shares earned under the PSU metrics and paid upon vesting. NEOs also receive a cash payment for deferred dividend equivalents accrued through vesting.

(2)

The market value shown in column (h) is calculated by multiplying the number of shares shown in column (g) by the December 29, 2017 per share closing price of our stock ($321.05). NEOs also receive a cash payment for deferred dividend equivalents accrued through vesting.

Represents PSUs granted on January 26, 2017 for the 2017-2019 performance period and on January 28, 2016 for the 2016-2018 performance period; the PSUs are earned and paid out in shares of our stock at the end of the three-year vesting period based upon performance on three separate metrics (Relative TSR, Performance Cash, and ROIC). The number of shares of stock shown in column (i) is based upon the threshold level of performance for each of the three metrics or, if performance to date on the metric has exceeded the threshold level (as is the case for performance through December 31, 2017), the estimated level of performance as of December 31, 2017. Performance under each metric is determined separately, with the three results added together to obtain the number of shares shown in column (i). NEOs also receive a cash payment for deferred dividend equivalents accrued through vesting.

2017 Pension Benefits

During 2017, the NEOs participated in the Lockheed Martin Corporation Salaried Employee Retirement Program (LMRP), which is a combination of several prior plans (collectively, the “Prior Plan”) for salaried employees with some protected benefits.

The calculation of retirement benefits under the LMRP is determined by a formula that takes into account the participant’s years of credited service and average compensation for the highest three years of the last ten years of employment ending with 2015. Average compensation includes the NEO’s base salary and annual incentive bonuses. NEOs must have either five years of service or be actively employed by the Corporation at age 65 to vest in the LMRP. Normal retirement age is 65; however, benefits are payable as early as age 55 at a reduced amount or without reduction at age 60. Benefits are payable as a monthly annuity for the lifetime of the employee, as a joint and survivor annuity, as a life annuity with a five- or ten-year guarantee, or as a level income annuity.

The calculation of retirement benefits under the Prior Plan is based on a number of formulas, some of which take into account the participant’s years of credited service and pay over the career of the NEO. Certain other formulas in the Prior Plan are based upon the final average compensation and credited service of the employee. Pay under certain formulas in the Prior Plan currently includes salary, commissions, overtime, shift differential, lump sum pay in lieu of a salary increase, annual incentive bonuses awarded that year, and pre-tax employee contributions. A portion of the pension benefits for Mr. Tanner was earned under the Prior Plan.

All of the NEOs were vested and eligible for early retirement as of December 31, 2017 under the LMRP.

During 2017, the NEOs also participated in the Lockheed Martin Corporation Supplemental Retirement Plan (Supplemental Pension), which is a restorative plan and provides benefits in excess of the benefit payable under IRS rules through the LMRP, our tax-qualified plan (see the footnote to column (d) to the “2017 Pension Benefits” table on page 56).

In July 2014, the Corporation announced that the LMRP will be frozen in two steps. Increases in compensation are no longer taken into account effective January 1, 2016. Increases in service will no longer be taken into account effective January 1, 2020. This change in plan structure also carries over to the Supplemental Pension benefit accruals available to the NEOs. Retirement benefits earned thereafter will be paid through defined contribution plans. As part of the transition to paying retirement benefits from defined contribution plans, beginning in 2016 eligible salaried employees (including the NEOs) receive a 2% Corporation contribution to the Lockheed Martin Corporation Salaried Savings Plan. The NEOs continue to receive the 2% Corporation contribution in the NCAP after reaching the Internal Revenue Code limitation for this contribution in the qualified plan. This contribution will increase to 6% beginning in 2020. Employees (none of which are NEOs) hired after January 1, 2006 do not participate in the LMRP and already receive the 6% contribution.

The Lockheed Martin Corporation Supplemental Retirement Plan (Supplemental Pension) uses the same formula for benefits as the tax-qualified plan uses for calculating the NEO’s benefit. Although all service recognized under the tax-qualified plan is recognized under the Supplemental Pension, a benefit would be earned underthe Supplemental Pension only in years when the NEO’s total accrued benefit would exceed the benefit accrued under the tax-qualified plan. The Supplemental Pension benefits are payable in the same form as benefits are paid under the LMRP, except lump sum payments are available under the Supplemental Pension.

Present Value of Accumulated Benefit (Column (d))
Senior Vice Presidents2 times

The amounts in column (d) were computed using the same assumptions we used to account for pension liabilities in our financial statements and as described in Note 11 to our financial statements contained in our 2017 Annual Report, except that the amounts were calculated based on benefits commencing at age 60 (or current age if greater). We used these ages rather than the plan’s normal retirement age of 65 because an employee may commence receiving pension benefits at age 60 without any reduction for early commencement. A portion of Mr. Tanner’s benefit was earned under the Prior Plan that applies a reduction for early commencement at age 60. The amounts shown for Mr. Tanner reflect the reduction for early commencement of thebenefit. Amounts paid under our plans use assumptions contained in the plans and may be different than those used for financial statement reporting purposes. Only the benefit payable under the Supplemental Pension is payable in the form of a lump sum. If a NEO elected a lump sum payment, the amount of the lump sum would be based on plan assumptions and not the assumptions used for financial statement reporting purposes. As a result, the actual lump sum payment would be an amount different than what is reported in this table. The age of the NEO at retirement would also impact the size of the lump sum payment. The amount using plan assumptions is shown on the “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” table.

Executive Compensation

2017 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

Participants in our tax-qualified 401(k) plan may defer up to 40% of base salary on a pre-tax, Roth or after-tax basis. In addition, we make a matching contribution equal to 50% of up to the first 8% of base salary contributed by the participant. Employee and Corporation matching contributions in excess of the Internal Revenue Code limitations may be contributed to the NQSSP on a pre-tax basis at the election of the NEO. In 2016, we also began making Corporation contributions in excess of the Internal Revenue Code limitations to the NCAP equal to 2% of the NEO’s base salary. Employee contributions, matching and Corporation contributions to the plans are nonforfeitable at all times. NQSSP and NCAP contributions are credited with earnings or losses, as appropriate, based on the investment option or options in which the account has been invested, as elected by the participant. Each of the NQSSP and NCAP investment options is available under our tax-qualified 401(k) plan for salaried employees. The NQSSP and NCAP provide for payment following termination of employment in a lump sum or up to 25 annual installments at the participant’s election. All amounts accumulated and unpaid under the NQSSP and NCAP must be paid in a lump sum within 15 calendar days following a change in control.

The Deferred Management Incentive Compensation Plan (DMICP) provides the opportunity to defer, until termination of employment or beyond, the receipt of all or a portion of annual incentive bonuses and LTIP awards. NEOs may elect any of the investment funds available in the NQSSP (with the exception of the Company Stock Fund) or two investment alternatives available only under the DMICP for crediting earnings (losses). Under the DMICP Stock Investment Option, earnings (losses) on deferred amounts will accrue at a rate that tracks the performance of our common stock, including reinvestment of dividends. Under the DMICP Interest Investment Option, earnings accrue at a rate equivalent to the then published rate for computing the present value of future benefits under Cost Accounting Standards 415, Deferred Compensation (CAS 415 rate). The Interest Investment Option was closed to new deferrals and transfers from other investment options effective July 1, 2009. Amounts credited to the Stock Investment Option may not be reallocated to other options. In addition, Stock Investment Option deferrals will be paid in shares of our common stock upon distribution. The DMICP provides for payment in January or July following termination of employment in a lump sum or up to 25 annual installments at the NEO’s election. All amounts accumulated under the DMICP must be paid in a lump sum within 15 days following a change in control.

Table of Contents

Executive Compensation

NEOs are required to achieve ownership levels within five years of assuming their role and must hold net shares from vested RSUs and PSUs and net shares from options exercised until the value of the shares equals the specified multiple of base salary. The securities counted toward their respective target threshold include common stock, unvested RSUs, unvested PSUs at target (which no longer may be counted towards ownership levels beginning with 2015 awards) and stock units under our 401(k) plans and other deferral plans. As of February 1, 2016, each of our NEOs exceeded their respective ownership requirements.

Post-Employment, Change in Control, Divestiture and Severance Benefits

Our NEOs do not have employment agreements. In January 2008, the Board approved the Lockheed Martin Corporation Severance Benefit Plan For Certain Management Employees (renamed the Lockheed Martin Corporation Executive Severance Plan). Benefits are payable under this plan in the event of a company-initiated termination of employment other than for cause. All of the NEOs are covered under the plan.

The benefit payable in a lump sum under the plan is two weeks of basic severance plus a supplemental payment of one times the NEO’s base salary and the equivalent of one year’s target annual incentive bonus. For the CEO, the multiplier is 2.99 instead of 1.

NEOs participating in the plan also receive a lump sum payment to cover the cost of medical benefits for one year in addition to outplacement and relocation services. To receive the supplemental severance benefit, the NEO must execute a release of claims and an agreement containing post-employment, non-compete and non-solicitation covenants comparable to those included in our NEOs’ LTI award agreements.

With respect to LTI, upon certain terminations of employment, including death, disability, retirement, layoff, divestiture or a change in control, the NEOs may be eligible for continued vesting on the normal schedule, immediate payment of benefits previously earned or accelerated vesting of LTI in full or on a pro rata basis. The type of event and the nature of the benefit determine which of these approaches will apply. The purpose of these provisions is to protect previously earned or granted benefits by making themavailable following the specified event. We view the vesting (or continued vesting) to be an important retention feature for senior-level employees. Because benefits paid at termination consist of previously granted or earned benefits, we do not consider termination benefits as a separate item in compensation decisions. Our LTI plans do not provide for tax assistance.

In the event of a change in control, our plans provide for the acceleration of the payment of the nonqualified portion of earned pension benefits and nonqualified deferred compensation. Unless the successor does not assume the award agreements, all LTI awards require a “double trigger” for vesting to accelerate (both a change in control and a qualifying termination of employment).

For executives whose business unit is divested, 2014 and 2015 RSUs accelerate and PSUs and LTIP are prorated to the day of the divestiture and paid at end of the cycle. For 2016 awards, RSUs, PSUs and LTIP are pro-rated to the day of the divestiture unless assumed by the successor.

Tax Deductibility of Executive Compensation

The Corporation’s tax deduction for compensation paid to each of the NEOs who are subject to the compensation deduction limits of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code is capped at $1 million. Section 162(m) provides an exemption from the $1 million cap for compensation qualifying as “performance-based.” We intend for our annual incentive and LTI programs for NEOs to qualify as “performance-based” compensation exempt from the $1 million cap on deductibility. The Corporation and Compensation Committee reserve the right to provide compensation that does not qualify under Section 162(m).

We are proposing that stockholders re-approve the performance-based goals applicable to awards under the Lockheed Martin Corporation 2011 Incentive Performance Award Plan, as amended and restated (2011 IPAP or Plan) for five additional years (see Proposal 4 on page 71). The performance goals must be approved by stockholders every five years to preserve, to the extent possible, our tax deduction for certain awards made under the Plan in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

Ms. Lavan779,8881,300,877

The ASC 718 grant date fair value of one 2015 RSU ($192.28), one 2014 RSU ($146.85) and one 2013 RSU ($89.24), is the closing price of one share of our stock on the date of grant, discounted to take into account the deferral of dividends until vesting.

Values for the PSUs, which are subject to performance conditions, are based on the probable outcome on the grant date of three separate performance conditions (approximately 50% of the target shares are earned based upon Relative TSR, approximately 25% of the target shares are earned based upon Performance Cash, and approximately 25% of the target shares are earned based upon ROIC).

The grant date fair value of $188.96 for 2015, $134.59 for 2014 and $61.29 for 2013 for the TSR portion of the PSU award was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The valuewas determined using the historical stock price volatilities of the companies in our comparator group over the most recent 2.92-year period for 2015, 2.93-year period for 2014 and 2.92-year period for 2013, assuming dividends for each company are reinvested on a continuous basis and a risk-free rate of interest of 0.81% for 2015, 0.73% for 2014 and 0.44% for 2013. The grant date fair value of $192.28 for 2015, $146.85 for 2014 and $89.24 for 2013 for the Performance Cash and ROIC portions of the awards is based on the closing price of one share of our stock on the date of grant, discounted to take into account the deferral of dividends until vesting. The grant date fair values for the 2013-2015 and 2014-2016 PSUs have been modified from the disclosure in prior years to make an immaterial correction (less than 50 cents per share) in the Monte Carlo simulation model. In addition to the level of performance achieved, the value of the PSUs earned will be determined by the price of our stock which may be more or less than the grant date fair value.

The maximum grant date fair values of the 2015 PSU awards, assuming a 200% maximum payout on all three metrics are as follows: Ms. Hewson: $11,206,028; Mr. Tanner: $4,017,182; Mr. Bennett: $2,501,498; Mr. Carvalho: $3,002,023 and Ms. Lavan: $2,601,754.

The maximum grant date fair values of the 2014 PSU awards, assuming a 200% maximum payout on all three metrics are as follows: Ms. Hewson: $11,138,497; Mr. Tanner: $4,057,101; Mr. Carvalho: $3,011,372; and Ms. Lavan: $2,654,654.

The maximum grant date values of the 2013 PSU awards, assuming a 200% maximum payout on all three metrics are as follows: Ms. Hewson: $10,213,491; Mr. Tanner: $3,692,930; and Ms. Lavan: $482,676.

Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation (Column (g))

Includes the amount paid for annual incentive bonuses. We report the annual incentive bonus in column (g) because the annual incentive bonus is based on an assessment of performance against pre-established goals. The Compensation Committee willcontinue to use discretion to assess performance against objectives established at the beginning of the year. We also report amounts earned under our LTIP awards in the three-year period ending on December 31 of the year reported in column (g) of the table.

Executive Compensation

Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings (Column (h))

Reports the present value of the change in pension benefit for the NEO for the year reported (for example, from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015) and is not the amount that will be paid to the NEO.

The disclosure is based on the Corporation’s final average compensation formula in its defined benefit plan which multiplies a percentage (1.25% of compensation below the social security wage base and 1.5% above that level) times years of service times the average of the employee’s highest three years of compensation in the last ten years. This is the same formula used for all participants accruing a pension benefit in 2015; none of the NEOs (including Ms. Hewson) has been credited with any extra years of service or provided a benefit from a special or enhanced formula. Under a three-year final average compensation formula, increasing service, age and compensation will result in an increase in the earned benefit. When an employee receives a compensation increase, the three-year average compensation that goes into the formula likewise increases. The impact of that increase in the average is greater with a long service employee because the pension formulamultiplies the now-higher average compensation by years of service. The year-over-year value is also affected by the changes in interest rate and increased life expectancy assumptions.

The amounts reported for 2015, 2014 and 2013 used a discount rate of 4.375%, 4.00% and 4.75% respectively, as the interest rate. This is the same rate we used to report pension liabilities in our financial statements for each of those years.

Longevity assumptions are used to estimate the life expectancy of plan participants during which they are expected to receive benefit payments. Recent actuarial studies indicate life expectancies are longer and have the resultant effect of increasing the total expected benefit payments to plan participants. The amounts reported beginning in 2014 reflect the use of new longevity assumptions, which results in a larger accumulated pension benefit than otherwise would be the case under the 2013 longevity assumptions. We used the same new longevity and interest rate assumptions to report pension liabilities for all pension plan participants in our financial statements beginning in 2014.

All Other Compensation (Column (i)

Perquisites and other personal benefits provided to the NEOs in 2015 included: security; annual executive physicals; business association expenses; use of corporate aircraft for personal travel; and travel for a family member accompanying the NEO while on business travel. Not all of the listed perquisites or personal benefits were provided to each NEO. In addition, the Corporation made available event tickets, a company-provided car and driver for personal commuting, and access to club memberships to some of the NEOs, but required the NEOs to reimburse the Corporation for the incremental cost to the Corporation in 2015 of such items. The cost of any category of the listed perquisites and personal benefits did not exceed the greater of $25,000 or 10% of total perquisites and personal benefits for any NEO, except for (i) security for Ms. Hewson ($120,768) and (ii) use of the corporate aircraft for Ms. Hewson ($253,397). The incremental cost for use of corporate aircraft for personal travel was calculated based on the total personal travel flight hours multiplied by the estimated hourly aircraft operating costs for 2015 (including fuel, maintenance, staff travel expenses, and other variable costs, but excluding fixed capital costs for the aircraft, hangar facilities, and staff salaries).

The amounts reported for security include providing home security to some of our NEOs consistent with what is provided to corporate executives in other public companies in our industry. Given the nature of our business, additional security may be provided for travel in high-risk areas or to address particular situations. We believe that providing personal security in response to concerns arising out of employment by the Corporation is business-related.

In addition to perquisites, column (i) also contains items of compensation listed in the following table. All items are paid under broad-based programs for U.S. salaried employees except for the tax assistance and the Lockheed Martin Corporation Supplemental Savings Plan (NQSSP) match. Items include matching contributions made to eligible universities, colleges and other non-profit organizations under the Corporation’s matching gift programs. Listed amounts may include contributions made in 2016 to match 2015 executive contributions or actions as applicable.

In 2015, the Corporation provided tax assistance on business-related items associated with taxable business association expenses, security expenses, non-resident state taxes on business travel and travel expenses for a family member accompanying the NEO while on business travel.

*Total Without Change In Pension Value

The separate column labeled “Total Without Change in Pension Value” shows total compensation as required to be disclosed by the SEC in column (j) less the amount shown in Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings in column (h). The amounts shown in this column are not a substitute for the amounts reported in the Total column, and differ substantially from the amounts reported in the Total column for several reasons. The amount reported in column (h) for Changein Pension Value is not current compensation and represents the present value of an estimated stream of payments to be made following retirement. The methodology used to report the Change in Pension Value under applicable accounting rules is sensitive to assumptions about life expectancy and changes in the discount rate determined at each year end, which are functions of economic factors and actuarial calculations that are outside of the control of the Compensation Committee.

Estimated Future Payouts Under Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards (Columns (c), (d) and (e))

Includes annual incentive grants (MICP) for 2015 and LTIP grants for the 2015-2017 period ending December 31, 2017.

The MICP measures performance over a one-year period and is described under “Annual Incentive” on page 40 in the CD&A. The threshold, or minimum amount payable, is 12.5% of target while the maximum is 200% of target.

The LTIP award measures performance against three separate metrics described under “2015 Long-Term Incentive Compensation” on page 45 in the CD&A. The threshold is the minimum amount payable for a specified level of performance stated in the LTIP award agreement. For the 2015-2017 award, the threshold amount payable is 6.25% of the target award. Themaximum award payable under the LTIP award is 200% of target value. Awards are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment prior to the end of the performance cycle, except in the event of retirement, death, disability, divestiture, or layoff. If the event occurs prior to the end of the performance period, LTIP awards are prorated. Following a change in control, the 2015-2017 LTIP awards vest at the target amount upon involuntary termination without cause or voluntary termination with good reason or if the successor does not assume the LTIP awards.

Executive Compensation

Estimated Future Payouts Under Equity Incentive Plan Awards (Columns (f), (g) and (h))

Shows the number of RSUs granted by the Compensation Committee on January 29, 2015. The RSU grants made to the NEOs were subject to forfeiture to the extent the value of the RSUs granted for a recipient on the award date was greater than 0.2% for the CEO and 0.1% for each of the other NEOs of 2015 Performance Cash. Based on 2015 Performance Cash, none of the RSUs were forfeited. The RSUs vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant or upon death, disability, divestiture. Following a change in control, the RSUs vest upon involuntary termination without cause or voluntary termination for good reason or if the RSUs are not assumed. If the employee retires or is laid off after July 29, 2015, but prior to the third anniversary of the date of grant, the RSUs become nonforfeitable and are paid at the end of the vesting period. During the vesting period, dividend equivalents are accrued and subject to the same vesting schedule as the underlying RSUs. At the end of the vesting period, the RSUs are paid in shares of stock and the deferred dividend equivalents are paid in cash. If any tax withholding is required on the 2015 RSUs or dividend equivalents during the vesting period (for example, on account of retirement-eligibility), the RSUs provide for accelerated vesting of the number of shares or dividend equivalents required to satisfy the tax withholding. The award is then reduced either by the number of shares or by the amount of accrued dividend equivalents that were accelerated for the tax withholding.

The table includes PSU grants for the 2015-2017 period ending December 31, 2017. At the end of the three-year vesting period, which ends on the third anniversary of the date of grant, the amount earned is payable in shares of stock and cash representing dividend equivalents accrued during the three-year performance period. Awards are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment prior to the end of the vesting period, except in the event of termination following retirement, death, disability, divestiture, or layoff. If the event occurs after July 29, 2015, but prior to the end of the vesting period, PSU awards are paid out at the end of the vesting period on a prorated basis. Following a change in control, the PSUs vest at the target amount upon involuntary termination without cause or voluntary termination with good reason or if the successor does not assume the PSUs.

Shares are earned under the PSU awards based upon performance against three separate metrics described under “PSU Awards” on page 45. If performance falls below the threshold level of performance for a metric, no shares would be earned with respect to that metric. Assuming any payment is earned, the minimum amount payable under the PSU is 25% of the target shares attributable to ROIC or Performance Cash, the lowest level payable under these metrics. The maximum number of shares payable under the PSU is 200% of the number of target shares.

Grant Date Fair Value of Stock Awards (Column (1))

Represents the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718 for RSUs and PSUs granted in 2015, disregarding potential forfeitures based on service requirements.

The grant date fair value of the 2015 RSU grant is $192.28 per RSU, which is based on the closing price of one share of our stock on the date of grant, discounted to take into account the deferral of dividends until vesting.

The grant date fair value for the PSUs, which are subject to performance conditions, is based on the probable outcome of each of the three performance conditions. The grant date fair value of $188.96 for the Relative TSR portion of the award is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The grant date fair value of $192.28 for the Performance Cash and ROIC portions of the awards is based on the closing price of one share of our stock on the date of grant, discounted to take into account the deferral of dividends until vesting.

(1)We reported RSUs granted in January 2015 as equity incentive awards in columns (f) through (h) of the “2015 Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table because there was the potential for forfeiture based on failure to achieve the performance metrics specified in the award agreements. For this table, we reported the RSUs in columns (g) and (h) because the performance feature of the RSU grants was satisfied at the end of 2015. This column also includes PSUs granted on January 28, 2013 for the 2013- 2015 performance period. The vesting period for the PSU granted ends on January 28, 2016 but the performance period ended on December 31, 2015.The number of shares shown in column (g) for the 2013-2015 PSUs is the number of shares earned under the PSU metrics and to be paid upon vesting in January 2016.
(2)The market value shown in column (h) is calculated by multiplying the number of shares shown in column (g) by the December 31, 2015 per share closing price of our stock ($217.15). NEOs also receive a cash payment for deferred dividend equivalents upon vesting of the RSUs.
(3)Represents PSUs granted on January 29, 2015 for the 2015-2017 performance period and on January 27, 2014 for the 2014-2016 performance period; the PSUs are earned and paid out in shares of our stock at the end of the three-year vesting period based upon performance on three separate metrics (Relative TSR, Performance Cash, and ROIC). The number of shares of stock shown in column (i) is based upon the threshold level of performance for each of the three metrics or, if performance to date on the metric has exceeded the threshold level (as is the case for 2015 and 2014), the estimated level of performance as of December 31, 2015. Performance under each metric is determined separately, with the three results added together to obtain the number of shares shown in column (i). NEOs also receive a cash payment for accrued dividend equivalents upon vesting of the PSUs.
(4)The market value shown in column (j) is calculated by multiplying the number of PSUs reported in column (i) by the December 31, 2015 per share closing price of our stock ($217.15).
(5)Represents RSUs granted on January 29, 2015, which vest January 29, 2018, except that vesting may occur earlier as described in the “2015 Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table.
(6)Represents PSUs granted on January 29, 2015 and which are earned over a three-year period but provide for pro rata payments for certain terminations as described in connection with the “2015 Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table.
(7)Represents RSUs granted on January 27, 2014, which vest on January 27, 2017, except that vesting may occur earlier as described in the “2015 Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table.

Retirement Plans

During 2015, the NEOs participated in the Lockheed Martin Corporation Salaried Employee Retirement Program (LMRP), which is a combination of several prior plans (collectively, the “Prior Plan”) for salaried employees with some protected benefits.

The calculation of retirement benefits under the LMRP is determined by a formula that takes into account the participant’s years of credited service and average compensation for the highest three years of the last ten years of employment. Average compensation includes the NEO’s base salary, annual incentive bonuses and lump sum payments in lieu of a salary increase. NEOs must have either five years of service or be actively employed by the Corporation at age 65 to vest in the LMRP. Normal retirement age is 65; however, benefits are payable as early as age 55 (with five years of service) at a reduced amount or without reduction at age 60. Benefits are payable as a monthly annuity for the lifetime of the employee, as a joint and survivor annuity, as a life annuity with a five or ten year guarantee, or as a level income annuity.

The calculation of retirement benefits under the Prior Plan is based on a number of formulas, some of which take into account the participant’s years of credited service and pay over the career of the NEO. Certain other formulas in the Prior Plan are based upon the final average compensation and credited service of the employee. Pay under certain formulas in the Prior Plan currently includessalary, commissions, overtime, shift differential, lump sum pay in lieu of a salary increase, annual incentive bonuses awarded that year, and 401(k) and pre-tax contributions. A portion of the pension benefits for Mr. Tanner was earned under the Prior Plan.

All of the NEOs were eligible for early retirement as of December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, all of the NEOs were vested in the LMRP.

During 2015, the NEOs also participated in the Lockheed Martin Corporation Supplemental Retirement Plan (Supplemental Pension), which is a restorative plan and provides benefits in excess of the benefit payable under IRS rules through the LMRP, our tax-qualified plan (see the footnote to column (d) to the “2015 Pension Benefits” table on page 62).

In July 2014, the Corporation announced that the LMRP will be frozen, in two steps, with increases in compensation no longer taken into account effective January 1, 2016 and increases in service no longer taken into account effective January 1, 2020. This change in plan structure also will carry over to the Supplemental Pension benefit accruals available to the NEOs. Retirement benefits earned thereafter will be paid through defined contribution plans. Beginning in 2016 eligible salaried employees (including the NEOs) will receive a 2% company contribution to the salaried 401(k) plan.

Plan Name (Column (b))

The Lockheed Martin Corporation Supplemental Retirement Plan (Supplemental Pension) uses the same formula for benefits as the tax-qualified plan uses for calculating the NEO’s benefit. Although all service recognized under the tax-qualified plan is recognized under the Supplemental Pension, a benefit would be earned underthe Supplemental Pension only in years when the employee’s total accrued benefit would exceed the benefit accrued under the tax-qualified plan. The Supplemental Pension benefits are payable in the same form as benefits are paid under the LMRP, except lump sum payments are available under the Supplemental Pension.

Present Value of Accumulated Benefit (Column (d))

The amounts in column (d) were computed using the same assumptions we used to account for pension liabilities in our financial statements and as described in Note 11 to our financial statements contained in our 2015 Annual Report, except that the amounts were calculated based on benefits commencing at age 60 (or current age if greater). We used these ages rather than the plan’s normal retirement age of 65 because an employee may commence receiving pension benefits at age 60 without any reduction for early commencement. A portion of Mr. Tanner’s benefit was earned under grandfathered plans that apply a reduction for early commencement at age 60. The amounts shown for Mr. Tanner reflect the reduction for early commencement of the benefit. Amounts paid under our plans use assumptions contained in the plans and may be different than those used for financial statement reporting purposes.

Only the benefit payable under the Supplemental Pension is payable in the form of a lump sum. If an executive elected a lump sum payment, the amount of the lump sum would be based on plan assumptions and not the assumptions used for financial statement reporting purposes. As a result, the actual lump sum payment would be an amount different than what is reported in this table. The age of the executive at retirement would also impact the size of the lump sum payment. The amount using plan assumptions is shown on the “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” table.

Executive Compensation

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

Participants in our tax-qualified 401(k) plan may defer up to 25% of base salary on a pre-tax, Roth or after-tax basis. In addition, we make a matching contribution equal to 50% of up to the first 8% of compensation contributed by the participant. Employee and Corporation matching contributions in excess of the Internal Revenue Code limitations may be contributed to the NQSSP on a pre-tax basis at the election of the NEO. Employee and Corporation matching contributions are nonforfeitable at all times. NQSSP contributions are credited with earnings or losses, as appropriate, based on the investment option or options in which the account has been invested, as elected by the participant. Each of the NQSSP investment options is available under our tax-qualified 401(k) plan for salaried employees. The NQSSP provides for payment following termination of employment in a lump sum or up to 25 annual installments at the participant’s election. All amounts accumulated and unpaid under the NQSSP must be paid in a lump sum within 15 calendar days following a change in control.

The Deferred Management Incentive Compensation Plan (DMICP) provides the opportunity to defer, until termination of employment or beyond, the receipt of all or a portion of annual incentive bonuses, LTIP awards and amounts paid in respect of the termination of the Lockheed Martin Post-Retirement Death Benefit Plan. Employees may elect any of the investment fundsavailable in the NQSSP (with the exception of the Company Stock Fund) or two investment alternatives available only under the DMICP for crediting earnings (losses). Under the DMICP Stock Investment Option, earnings (losses) on deferred amounts will accrue at a rate that tracks the performance of our common stock, including reinvestment of dividends. Under the DMICP Interest Investment Option, earnings accrue at a rate equivalent to the then published rate for computing the present value of future benefits under Cost Accounting Standards 415, Deferred Compensation (“CAS 415 rate”). The Interest Investment Option was closed to new deferrals and transfers from other investment options effective July 1, 2009. Amounts credited to the Stock Investment Option may not be reallocated to other options. In addition, Stock Investment Option deferrals will be paid in shares of our common stock upon distribution. For the 2013–2015 LTIP grant, any award is subject to a one-year mandatory deferral to the extent the award value would exceed $10 million. For the 2014–2016 LTIP grant, the amount in excess of $10 million is forfeited. The DMICP provides for payment in January or July following termination of employment in a lump sum or up to 25 annual installments at the NEO’s election. All amounts accumulated under the DMICP must be paid in a lump sum within 15 days following a change in control.

Executive Compensation

The following table quantifies the payments under our executive compensation programs in RSUs and LTIP awards and the lump sum payable under the Supplemental Pension that would be made assuming a termination event had occurred on December 31, 2015. Payments under other plans do not change as a result of the termination event, and quantification of those payments are found elsewhere in this Proxy Statement or are paid under plans available generally to salaried employees. The table shows amounts that would actually be paid on or shortly after December 31, 2015 onaccount of the trigger event. Amounts that are contingent upon future performance, continued vesting or already earned as of December 31, 2015 are described and quantified in the footnotes following the table. Award agreements for the NEOs contain post-employment restrictive covenants and to receive a supplemental severance benefit, an executive must execute a release of claims and an agreement containing a two-year post-employment non-compete and non-solicitation covenants. Numbers have been rounded to the nearest dollar.

Executive Compensation

Supplemental Pension

The Supplemental Pension lump sum value was calculated using plan assumptions and age of the executive as of December 31, 2015.2017. Payments under the Supplemental Pension do not commence prior to age 55, except in the case of a change in control. The lump sum payable upon change in control has been reduced to reflect early payment. The Supplemental Pension assumptions in effect for December 31, 2015,2017, are a 4.00%4.00 percent discount rate (2.25%(1.75 percent for benefits earned prior to 2005) and the mortality tables applicable to lump sum distributions for qualified plans under section 417(e)of the Internal Revenue Code (1983 Group Annuity Mortality forbenefitsfor benefits earned prior to 20052005; and after 2004 if the resulting benefit is larger). The Supplemental Pension assumptions are set forth in the plan document and may be different than the assumptions used to calculate the accrued benefit reported in the “2015“2017 Pension Benefits” or “Summary Compensation” tables or for financial reporting. In 2015, the Supplemental Pension Plan was amended to use the mortality assumptions applicable to lump sum distributions for qualified plans under section 417(e) of the Internal Revenue Code for benefits accrued after December 31, 2004.

Long-Term Incentive Performance Awards

The table shows an amount payable only in the event of a change in control trigger event for the 2014-20162016-2018 and 2015-20172017-2019 LTIP performance periods. For a trigger event based upon death,disability, retirement (or resignation after satisfying the requirements for retirement), layoff or divestitures on December 31, 2015,2017, amounts (if any) for the 2014-20162016-2018 and 2015-20172017-2019 LTIP performance periods would not be payable until after the end of the performance period. The estimated prorated amounts payable for the 2014-20162016-2018 performance cycle based on performance through December 31, 20152017 are: Ms. Hewson: $1,666,582;$2,692,846; Mr. Tanner: $606,984;$937,302; Mr. Bennett: $367,413;$775,054; Mr. Carvalho: $450,592; andMs.$775,054; and Ms. Lavan: $397,163.$620,977.

The table does not include amounts for the 2013-20152015-2017 performance cycle whichas these amounts are reported in the Summary Compensation Table (see notes to column (g)) or mandatory deferrals for the 2011-2013 performance cycle because these amounts become payable on December 31, 2015 without regard to any trigger event..

Restricted Stock Units

All 2013, 20142015, 2016 and 20152017 RSUs would continue to vest for retirement or layoff occurring on December 31, 2015,2017, and would not become payable until January 2016,2018, January 20172019 and January 2018,2020, respectively, and are not included in the table. For a change ofin control (assuming satisfaction of the double trigger), death, disability or divestiture, the reported value of the RSUs was based upon the closing price of our stock on December 31,2015 ($217.15)29, 2017($321.05) plus accrueddeferred dividend equivalents.equivalents that accrued. The amounts payable for retirement or layoff on December 31, 2015 at2017 are not payable until the end of the respective vesting periods (January 2016,2018, January 20172019 and January 20182020 for the 2013, 20142015, 2016 and 20152017 RSUs, respectively) arebut would have the same value on December 31, 2017 as the amounts shown for immediate payment on account of death, disability and divestiture.

Executive Compensation

CEO Pay Ratio

Beginning in 2018, the Corporation must annually disclose in its proxy statement the median of the annual total compensation of all employees (excluding the CEO), the annual total compensation of its CEO, and the ratio of the CEO compensation to the employee median compensation.

Lockheed Martin employs approximately 100,000 employees that are, in large part, highly-skilled professionals located primarily in the United States, but also represented in numerous other countries. Our calculation included all employees as of December 31, 2017.

The annual total compensation of the median employee was determined in the same manner as the total compensation shown for our CEO in column (j) in the “Summary Compensation Table” on page 48.

We determined the required ratio by:

calculating the total annual cash compensation (base salary plus annual incentive) of all employees except the CEO, and then sorting those employees from highest to lowest;
determining the median employee from that list; and
calculating the total annual compensation of our CEO and of the median employee using the same methodology required for the Summary Compensation Table.

The total annual compensation for our CEO for fiscal year 2017 was $22,866,843. The total annual compensation for the median employee was $123,231, encompassing base salary, incentives/recognition awards, overtime, change in pension value, company contributions to defined contribution plans, and company-paid life insurance premiums. The resulting ratio of CEO pay to the pay of the Corporation’s median employee for fiscal year 2017 is 186 to one.

The shares represent annual incentive bonuses and LTIP payments earned and voluntarily deferred by employees. The deferred amounts are payable under the DMICP. Deferred amounts are credited as phantom stock units at the closing price of our stock on the date the deferral is effective. Amounts equal to our dividend are credited as stock units at the time we pay a dividend. Following termination of employment, a number of shares of stock equal to the number of stock units credited to the employee’s DMICP account are distributed to the employee. There is no discount or value transfer on the stock distributed. Distributions may be made from newly issued shares or shares purchased on the open market. Historically, all distributions have come from shares held in a separate trust and, therefore, do not further dilute our common shares outstanding. As a result, these shares also were not considered in calculating the total weighted average exercise price in the table. Because the DMICP shares are outstanding, they should be included in the denominator (and not the numerator) of a dilution calculation.

PROPOSAL 4: MANAGEMENT PROPOSAL
TO RE-APPROVE THE PERFORMANCE GOALS
FOR THE 2011 INCENTIVE PERFORMANCE
AWARD PLAN

Our Board’s compensation philosophy has always been to link executive compensation to the Corporation’s performance against pre-established strategic, operational and financial goals and to use equity as a means to tie a substantial portion of executive compensation to the long-term interests of our stockholders. Share-based and cash-based long-term incentive awards have been a significant component of the Corporation’s management compensation since the Corporation was formed in 1995. In 2011, the Board adopted, and stockholders approved, the Lockheed Martin Corporation 2011 Incentive Performance Award Plan, which Plan was further amended and restated most recently on September 24, 2015 (collectively, the 2011 IPAP or Plan).

We are proposing that stockholders re-approve the performance-based goals applicable to certain awards under the Plan for five additional years. The performance goals must be approved by stockholders to preserve, to the extent possible, our tax deduction for certain awards made under the Plan in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

The principal features of the 2011 IPAP are summarized below. This summary does not contain all the information that may be important to you. The following description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the 2011 IPAP. You are urged to read the 2011 IPAP in its entirety, which is attached as Appendix B.

The 2011 IPAP authorizes an independent Compensation Committee of the Board to award stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights (SARs), stock units and cash-based performance awards to key employees for the purpose of attracting, motivating, retaining and rewarding talented and experienced employees. The Compensation Committee performs this function and is composed entirely of independent directors.

Section 162(m) denies a publicly-held corporation a tax deduction for certain compensation in excess of $1 million paid to “covered employees” (generally, (a) the CEO and (b) the three highest compensated officers other than the CEO or the CFO, as identified in the “Summary Compensation Table” on page 54), unless the compensation qualifies as performance-based compensation. For certain types of incentive compensation intended to qualify as performance-based compensation, IRS regulations generally require that (i) the compensation must be paid solely as a result of attaining one or more objective performance goals established inadvance by the independent Compensation Committee and (ii) the material terms, including the performance goals, must be properly disclosed in the proxy statement and approved by the stockholders. The performance goals must be submitted for re-approval by the stockholders no later than five years after initial approval or earlier if the performance goals are materially modified. Stockholders initially approved these goals when the Plan was adopted in 2011. The goals are approved currently until April 2016. Stockholder approval of this proposal at the 2016 Annual Meeting would extend the approval period from 2016 until 2021.

The material terms of the performance goals of the Plan include:

Eligibility—the employees eligible to receive compensation;

Business Criteria upon which the performance goals are based; and

Participant Award Limits—the maximum amount of compensation that may be paid to an employee during a specified period if the performance goals are met.

Eligibility64     

Awards under the Plan may be granted to key salaried employees (including officers) of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. All elected officers of the Corporation (one of whom also is a director of the Corporation) are among those eligible to receive awards.

The number of key salaried employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries eligible to receive awards in any given year is subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee. In January 2016, share-based awards in the form of performance share units (PSUs) or restricted share units (RSUs) were made to approximately 1,276 employees; and cash-based long-term incentive performance (LTIP) awards were made to approximately 324 employees. The awards made to the NEOs in 2015 are set forth in Grant of Plan-Based Awards table on page 58 and the awards made in 2016 are described in the CD&A on page 49. As of December 31, 2015, approximately 2,701 employees and former employees have received grants under the Plan. The individual employees who are to receive future awards, the number of awards that will be granted to any employee or group of employees, and the amounts payable with respect to future awards have not been determined at this time.

Proposal 4: Management Proposal to Re-Approve the Performance Goals for the 2011 Incentive Performance Award Plan

Business Criteria for Performance Goals

Under the Plan, one or more of the following criteria or combination of the following criteria will be used exclusively by the Compensation Committee in establishing goals for performance-based awards:

Backlog;
Cash flow;
Earnings per share;
Earnings per share growth;
Free cash flow per share;
Orders;
Percentage of free cash flow to stockholders;
Return on invested capital (ROIC);
Sales;
Segment operating profit;
Segment return on invested capital; or
Total stockholder return (TSR).

Performance goals may be applied over either consecutive, rolling or stand-alone cycles determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion, on an absolute, average or relative basis (including relative to published or specially constructed indices), and may be measured on a corporate, consolidated, subsidiary, segment or business unit basis (or combination basis). The performance cycles for cash-based awards must be more than one but not more than five years. Specific cycles, weightings of more than one performance goal and target levels of performance upon which actual payments are based, as well as the award levels payable upon achievement of specified levels of performance, are determined by the Compensation Committee not later than the applicable deadline under Section 162(m) and in any event at a time when achievement of such targets is substantially uncertain. These variables may change from cycle to cycle.

The Compensation Committee has the right to determine conditions, restrictions or other limitations on the payment of an individual award and may reserve the right to reduce the amount payable on any basis that the Committee determines with the result that an individual award recipient or all award recipients may receive an amount less than the amount payable upon satisfaction of a specified performance goal.

Appropriate adjustments to the performance goals and targets in respect of performance-based awards may be made by the Compensation Committee based upon objective criteria in the case of an extraordinary gain or loss or other event that is considered under GAAP to be an extraordinary item recognized under any accounting policy or practice affecting the Corporation and/or any performance goals or targets, provided in each case that the nature of any such adjustments is specified at the time the performancegoals or targets are established by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may reserve the right to authorize payment in the event of a change in control without regard to satisfaction of the performance goals. Award agreements have provided for adjustments to take account of tax payments or tax benefits associated with divestitures and voluntary prefunding of pension contributions which in either case were not forecast in the Corporation’s long range plan and the impact of an acquisition or divestiture with a transaction value in excess of $1 billion.

The Compensation Committee must certify the achievement of the applicable performance goals and the actual amount payable to each participant under the RSU, PSU and LTIP awards prior to payment. The Compensation Committee may retain discretion to reduce, but not increase, the amount payable under a PSU or LTIP award to any participant, notwithstanding the achievement of targeted performance goals.

We have used cash flow, TSR and ROIC as performance goals in PSU and LTIP awards and cash flow in RSU awards, as described on page 45 of the CD&A. In addition, other types of awards under the Plan may be granted to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m). Stock options and SARs granted under the Plan are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation and may qualify without regard to whether satisfaction of any performance goals are conditions to the underlying award. In addition, restricted stock and restricted stock units may be granted under the Plan to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m), using the performance goals, certification and payout procedures, and Compensation Committee discretion discussed above.

Participant Award Limits

The maximum annual amounts payable to any one participant as performance-based awards are as follows:

Share-Based Awards:The aggregate number of shares of stock issuable under the Plan for options, SARs payable in shares, restricted stock and stock units payable in shares granted as performance-based awards during any calendar year to any participant may not exceed 1,000,000. Of that amount, the maximum number of shares of stock that may be granted as restricted stock awards during any calendar year to any participant (including as performance-based awards) may not exceed 750,000 shares. Awards canceled as a result of forfeiture or expiration during a calendar year are counted against these limits.

Share-Unit Awards and SARs Payable Only in Cash:The maximum number of stock units or SARs exercisable or payable only in cash during any calendar year to any participant as performance-based awards is 300,000. Awards canceled during a calendar year due to expiration or forfeiture are counted against this limit.

Cash-Based Awards:The aggregate amount payable to any participant under all cash-based awards granted under the Plan during any calendar year is $10,000,000.

Proposal 4: Management Proposal to Re-Approve the Performance Goals for the 2011 Incentive Performance Award Plan

Other Features of the 2011 IPAP

Types of Awards

The 2011 IPAP authorizes awards in the form of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options (“ISOs”), SARs, restricted stock, stock units (including RSUs and PSUs) or cash-based incentive awards. Awards may be granted singly or in combination with other awards.

Since the Corporation’s formation in 1995, we have made equity grants in the form of restricted stock awards, stock options and stock units, and cash awards in the form of LTIP awards. The last year in which we granted restricted stock awards was 2004 and the last year in which we granted stock options to employees was 2012. We have never granted ISOs or SARs under the 2011 IPAP.

Authorized Shares

The aggregate number of shares of our stock that initially were subject to awards under the 2011 IPAP was 9,963,688, which represented 1,963,688 shares that were reserved for future awards under the Corporation’s predecessor incentive performance award plan (the 2003 IPAP) at the time the stockholders approved the 2011 IPAP and an additional 8,000,000 shares approved under the 2011 IPAP. At our 2014 annual meeting, stockholders approved an increase of 4,000,000 in the number of shares available for awards under the 2011 IPAP. Shares of our stock subject to awards outstanding under the 2011 IPAP and the 2003 IPAP that are unexercised, unconverted or undistributed as a result of termination, expiration or forfeiture of an award (other than in the case of SARs and shares withheld to satisfy a tax withholding obligation) also are available for grants under the 2011 IPAP. As of February 1, 2016, 5,595,492 shares were available for issuance in respect of future awards under the 2011 IPAP.

Terms of Awards

The maximum term of an award is 10 years after the date of grant of the award.

Each award under the 2011 IPAP is evidenced by an award agreement in a form approved by the Compensation Committee setting forth, in the case of share-based awards, the number of shares of stock or share units, as applicable, subject to the award, and the price (if any) and term of the award and, in the case of performance-based awards, any applicable performance goals. Awards under the 2011 IPAP that are not vested or exercised generally are nontransferable by a holder (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution). Section 6 of the 2011 IPAP sets forth minimum vesting requirements for options, SARs payable in stock, restricted stock and stock units payable in stock. Vesting requirements for cash-based awards are at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

Adjustments to Stock; Corporate Reorganizations

The number and type of shares available for grant and the shares subject to outstanding awards (as well as individual share and share unit limits on awards, performance targets and exercise or conversion prices of awards) may be adjusted to reflect the effect of a recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, merger, combination, consolidation or other reorganization, any extraordinary dividend or other extraordinary distribution in respect of our shares, or any split-up, spin-off, split-off or extraordinary redemption, or in exchange of outstanding shares, any other similar corporate transaction or event, or a sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets.

Change in Control

The Compensation Committee is authorized to include provisions in award agreements relating to the treatment of awards in the event of a “change in control” of the Corporation (as defined in the 2011 IPAP) and is authorized to take certain other actions in such an event, including but not limited to providing for acceleration or extension of time for purposes of exercising, vesting in or realizing gain from an award and providing for the assumption or continuation of the award and the substitution of shares of stock of a successor entity, or a parent or subsidiary of a successor entity, together with appropriate adjustments to the terms of the award to reflect the change in control transaction.

In addition, if an award constitutes deferred compensation for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code, benefits available in the event of a change in control are accelerated only if the events that constituted a change in control under the 2011 IPAP also constituted a change in the ownership or effective control of the Corporation or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Corporation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

The award agreements for all currently unvested awards contain double trigger change in control provisions in the event the awards are not assumed by the successor which are described on page 53 of the CD&A.

Administration

The 2011 IPAP is administered by a committee of the Board, constituted so as to permit the 2011 IPAP to comply with the “non-employee director” provisions of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the “outside director” requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Compensation Committee currently performs this role. The Compensation Committee has the authority to designate recipients of awards, determine or modify the form, amount, terms, conditions, restrictions, and limitations of awards, including vesting provisions, terms of exercise of an award,

2016 Proxy Statement

Proposal 4: Management Proposal to Re-Approve the Performance Goals for the 2011 Incentive Performance Award Plan

expiration dates and the treatment of an award in the event of the retirement, layoff, disability, death or other termination of a participant’s employment with the Corporation, and to construe and interpret the Plan. The authority of the Compensation Committee is subject to any express limitation set forth in the 2011 IPAP.

The Compensation Committee also has the authority to grant awards under the 2011 IPAP in substitution for or as the result of the assumption of stock incentive awards held by employees of another entity who become employees of the Corporation or a subsidiary as a result of a merger or acquisition of the entity.

The Compensation Committee may delegate to the officers or employees of the Corporation or its subsidiaries the authority to execute and deliver such instruments and documents and to take actions necessary, advisable or convenient for the effective administration of the 2011 IPAP.

Duration, Amendment and Termination

The 2011 IPAP will remain in existence as to all outstanding awards until all awards are either exercised or terminated; however, no award can be made after April 27, 2021.

The Board has the authority to terminate, suspend or discontinue the 2011 IPAP at any time. The Board may amend the 2011 IPAP at any time, provided that any material amendment to the 2011 IPAP will not be effective unless approved by the Corporation’s stockholders. For this purpose, an amendment is considered to be a “material” amendment only if it would:

materially increase the number of shares of stock available under the Plan or issuable to a participant (except in the limited case of adjustments relating to a change in control, adjustments to our stock or other corporate reorganizations); 

change the types of awards that may be granted under the Plan;

expand the class of persons eligible to receive awards or otherwise participate in the Plan;

reduce the price at which an option is exercisable or the base price of a SAR, either by amendment of an award agreement or by substitution of a new award at a reduced price (except in the limited case of adjustments relating to a change in control, adjustments to our stock or other corporate reorganizations); or

require stockholder approval pursuant to the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual (so long as the Corporation is a listed corporation on the NYSE) or other applicable law.

The Compensation Committee may at any time alter or amend any or all award agreements under the 2011 IPAP in any manner that would be authorized for a new award under the Plan, so long as such an amendment would not require approval of the Corporation’s stockholders if such amendment were made to the Plan. No action by the Board or the Compensation Committee, however, shall affect adversely any outstanding award without the consent in writing of the participant entitled to the award.

Non-Exclusivity

The 2011 IPAP is not exclusive and does not limit the authority of the Board or its committees to grant awards or authorize any other compensation, with or without reference to our common stock, under any other plan or authority. The 2011 IPAP has not been and is not expected to be our exclusive cash incentive plan for eligible persons (including executive officers); other cash incentive plans may be retained and/or developed to implement our compensation objectives and policies.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a general description of federal income tax consequences to participants and the Corporation relating to nonqualified stock options, LTIP awards, RSUs, and PSUs under the 2011 IPAP. This discussion does not purport to cover all tax consequences relating to awards under the Plan.

There are no federal income tax consequences to a participant upon the grant of a nonqualified stock option to purchase shares of stock. Upon the exercise of the option, the participant will recognize compensation income in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the stock on the date the option is exercised over the option price for the stock. This compensation income will be taxable to the participant in the year of the exercise of the option. The Corporation will withhold FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes and federal, state, and local income taxes at the minimum rate prescribed by law.

The participant’s tax basis in the stock acquired will equal the option price for the stock plus the amount of compensation income that the participant recognizes upon exercise of the option. For capital gains tax purposes, the holding period of the stock commences upon the date of exercise. A participant who sells stock will recognize capital gain or loss measured by the difference between the participant’s tax basis in the stock and the amount realized on the sale. The capital gain or loss will be long-term if the stock is held for more than one year following exercise.

There are no federal income tax consequences to a participant upon the award of an LTIP. A participant will recognize compensation income for federal income tax purposes upon payment of the award. At the time of payment, the Corporation will withhold FICA taxes and federal, state, and local income taxes at the minimum rate prescribed by law.

There are no federal income tax consequences to a participant upon the grant of RSUs. Upon the termination of the restricted period, the fair market value of the stock deliverable to a participant in respect of the RSUs will be taxable to the participant as compensation income, based on the fair market value of the stock on the day the stock is deliverable to the participant. FICA tax withholding also will apply except to the extent FICA taxes have already been collected in the case of laid off or retirement-eligible employees as described below.

74     www.lockheedmartin.com/investor



Table of Contents

Proposal 4: Management Proposal to Re-Approve the Performance Goals for the 2011 Incentive Performance Award Plan

Withholding taxes on stock deliverable to a participant will be satisfied by means of the Corporation reducing the number of shares of stock delivered to the participant. The Corporation will withhold FICA taxes and federal, state, and local income taxes at the minimum rate prescribed by law.

Any cash paid to a participant for deferred dividend equivalents also will be taxable to the participant as compensation income in the year paid. Such cash payments will be subject to withholding of federal, state, and local income taxes at the minimum rate prescribed by law, as well as FICA taxes (except to the extent FICA taxes have already been collected in the case of laid off or retirement-eligible employees as described below). The Corporation will withhold taxes on the deferred dividend equivalents by reducing the cash paid to the participant.

A participant’s tax basis in the shares of stock delivered to him or her in respect of the RSUs will be equal to the fair market value of such shares on the day the stock is deliverable to the participant. A participant’s holding period for purposes of determining long-term capital gain or loss treatment on any subsequent sale of such stock will begin on that day.

If a participant is or becomes eligible for retirement (attainment of age 55 with ten years of service or attainment of age 65) or is laid off during the restricted period, such participant’s RSU award (and any deferred dividend equivalents) will become subject to FICA taxes prior to the termination of the restricted period. The Corporation will generally accelerate vesting on deferred dividend equivalents or a number of RSUs sufficient to satisfy the withholding obligation shortly before or after the date FICA taxes are due. Alternatively, the Corporation may withhold the FICA taxes due with respect to the RSU award from the participant’s paycheck or require a participant to deliver a check to the Corporation to satisfy the withholding obligation.

There are no federal income tax consequences to a participant upon the grant of PSUs. Upon the termination of the vesting period, the fair market value of the stock deliverable to a participant in respect of the PSUs will be taxable to the participant as compensation income, based on the fair market value of the stock on the day the stock is deliverable to the participant. FICA (Social Security and Medicare) tax withholding also will apply.

Withholding taxes on stock deliverable to a participant will be satisfied by means of the Corporation reducing the number of shares of stock delivered to the participant. The Corporation will withhold FICA taxes and federal, state, and local income taxes at the minimum rate prescribed by law.

Any cash paid to a participant as deferred dividend equivalents also will be taxable to the participant as compensation income in the year paid. Such cash payments will be subject to withholding of federal, state, and local income taxes at the minimum rate prescribed by law, as well as FICA taxes.

Proposal 4: Management Proposal to Re-Approve the Performance Goals for the 2011 Incentive Performance Award Plan

No person received 5% or more of the total equity awards granted to all participants under the 2011 IPAP. No associate of a director, nominee for election as a director or executive officer has received an equity award under the 2011 IPAP.

Required Vote for Approval and Consequences of Vote

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the 2016 Annual Meeting is needed to re-approve the performance goals under the 2011 IPAP.

If stockholders re-approve the performance goals, we can continue to deduct until April 2021, to the extent permissible, amounts payable under performance awards that are in excess of $1 million in any year for certain of our executive officers.

If stockholders do not re-approve the performance goals applicable to the Plan at the 2016 Annual Meeting, no performance awards under the Plan within the meaning of section 162(m) (other than stock options and SARs) would be made after the April 2016 Annual Meeting. Absent stockholder approval, we may grant other types of equity awards after the April 2016 Annual Meeting to executive officers and other employees that are not intended to qualify for the exemption for performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) under the Plan. In addition, absent stockholder approval of the performance-based goals, we may grant cash-based incentive awards that are not intended to qualify for the exemption under Section 162(m) under other benefit plans.

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the re-approval of performance goals for the 2011 Incentive Performance Award Plan (Proposal 4).

Director compensation is an important tool used to attract and retain qualified directors. The Governance Committee annually reviews publicly available data for the companies that comprisein the peercomparator group we use for benchmarking executive compensation. In June 2015,compensation (listed on page 36). Although the Committee reviews director compensation annually, it determined thathas been the practice of the Committee to recommend changes no more frequently than every two years. As director compensation for other comparator companies continues to increase during the two-year cycle, the Corporation’s position relative to the median for director compensation was lower thanchanges. For this reason, the peer groupCommittee sets director compensation above the median or market forwith the expectation that compensation will decline relative to the median over the two-year cycle and may be below the median by the end of the two-year period. In 2017, Meridian acting as independent compensation consultant to the Governance Committee assisted in its review of director compensation.compensation and best practices in director compensation design. Based on this information,upon that review at its September 2017 meeting, the Board approved an increase inincreased the annual retainer from $260,000 to $290,000.directors’ compensation for 2018 as shown above. A prorated (one quarter) portion of the increase inof each cash component was effective for the cash portionfourth quarter of the retainer attributable to the remaining six months of 2015 ($15,000) was paid in the second half of 2015,2017, with the full increase of the annual cash amount and the increase in the cashequity component effective for 2018.

Consistent with the terms of an amendment to the Existing Plan approved by the Board in September 2017, from and equity portions taking effectafter January 1, 2018, a director who has satisfied the Board’s stock ownership guidelines may elect to have vested stock units awarded after that date to be paid in January 2016. The non-employee director annual retainer of $290,000 (not including Lead Director or committee chairmen fees) is paid 50% in cash and 50% in equity.

The cash portiona lump sum on the March 31 following the one-year anniversary of the non-employeegrant rather than following termination of Board service. Any director retainer iswho has not satisfied the stock ownership guidelines will continue to be paid quarterly. The Lockheed Martin Corporation 2009 Directors Equityalong with any accumulated dividend equivalents upon termination or retirement from the Board.

Although the Existing Plan (Directors Equity Plan)authorizes the grant of stock units or predecessor plans governs the equity portion of the non-employee director retainer. Instock options, in June 2014, the Board resolvedapproved a resolution to the effect that each non-employee director would elect to receive the equity portion of the retainer in the form of stock units for each year beginning with 2015 and would not elect options to purchase shares unless the Board resolution is further amended or revoked.

The Directors EquityExisting Plan provides that a director eligible for retirement at the next Annual Meetingannual meeting receives a prorated grant (one-third) for the four months of service prior to the Annual Meeting.annual meeting. Except in certain circumstances, stock units vest 50%50 percent on June 30 and 50%50 percent on December 31 following the grant date. Upon a change in control or a director’s retirement, death, or disability, the director’s stock units and outstanding options become fully vested, and the director has the right to exercise the options. Upon a director’s termination of service from our Board, we distribute the vested stock units, at the director’s election, in whole shares of stock or in cash, in a lump sum or in annual installments over a period of up to 20 years. Prior to distribution, a director has no voting, dividend or other rights with respect to the stock units held under the Directors EquityExisting Plan, but is credited with additional stock units representing dividend equivalents (converted to stock units based on the closing price of our stock on the dividend payment dates). The outstandingOutstanding options have a term of ten years.

The Directors Equity Plan provides that equity grants are made with respect to a calendar year on the second business day following the later of (i) the date of the first regular meeting of the Board in each calendar year, or (ii) the date on which the Corporation releases its financial results for the previous calendar year; provided that, if such date is later than February 15, the award date is February 15 (or the next business day if February 15 is not a business day).

The Lockheed Martin Corporation Directors Deferred Compensation Plan (Directors Deferred Compensation Plan) provides non-employee directors the opportunity to defer up to 100%100 percent of the cash portion of their fees. Deferred amounts earn interest at a rate that tracks the performance of: (i) the investment options available under the employee deferred compensation plans; or (ii) our company stock (with dividends reinvested), at the director’s election. Deferred fees are distributed in a lump sum or in up to 15 annual installments commencing at a time designated by the director following termination.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

To align their interests with the long-term interests of our stockholders, we expect our directors to maintain an ownership interest in the Corporation. Under our Director Stock Ownership Guidelines,stock ownership guidelines for directors, non-employee directors have five years from the time they join the Board to achieve stock ownership levels (common stock or stock units) equivalent to five times the annual cash retainer. Each non-employee director has exceeded the stock ownership guidelines, with the exception of Mr. Carlson whoexcept for Ms. Gordon (who has until July 2020June 2021 to meet the guidelines.guidelines) and Mr. Johnson and Mr. Taiclet (who each have until January 2023 to meet the guidelines).

In accordance with SEC rules, we are reprinting the proposal and supportingstatementssupporting statements as they were submitted to us. The Corporation is not responsible for thetheir contents thereof or any inaccuracies the proposal may contain.contained therein.

Proposal 5: Stockholder Proposal on Special Meeting Stock Ownership Threshold

John Chevedden, 2215 Nelson Avenue, No. 205, Redondo Beach, California 90278, the beneficial owner of no less than 100200 shares of common stock of the Corporation having a market value greater than $2,000, has notified the Corporation that he intends to present the following proposal at this year’s Annual Meeting:

Proposal 5 – Special Shareowner MeetingsShareholder Right to Act by Written Consent

Resolved, Shareowners askShareholders request that our board of directors undertake such steps as may be necessary to takepermit written consent by shareholders entitled to cast the stepsminimum number of votes that would be necessary (unilaterally if possible) to amend our bylawsauthorize the action at a meeting at which all shareholders entitled to vote thereon were present and each appropriate governing documentvoting. This written consent is to give holders inbe consistent with applicable law and consistent with giving shareholders the aggregate of 15% of our outstanding common stock thefullest power to call a special shareowner meeting. act by written consent consistent with applicable law. This includes shareholder ability to initiate any topic for written consent consistent with applicable law.

This proposal does not impact our board’s current powertopic won majority shareholder support at 13 major companies in a single year. This included 67%-support at both Allstate and Sprint. Hundreds of major companies enable shareholder action by written consent.

Taking action by written consent in lieu of a meeting is a means shareholders can use to call a special meeting.

A shareholder right to call a specialraise important matters outside the normal annual meeting and acycle. A shareholder right to act by written consent and to call a special meeting are 2 complimentary ways to bring an important matter to the attention of both management and shareholders outside the annual meeting cycle. This is important because there could be 15-months between annual meetings.

A shareholder right for a group owning 15% of the shares of our company to call a special meeting is one method to equalize our lack of a rightMore than 100 Fortune 500 companies provide for shareholders to act by written consent. Forinstance a group owning 25% of the shares of our company is now needed to call a special meeting compared to Delaware law which allows 10% of such shares to call a special meeting. If 15% of shares could call a special meeting, instead of our current 25% of shares – this would help make up for our lack of a rightmeetings and to act by written consent.

This proposal topic won more than 70% support at Edwards Lifesciences and SunEdison in 2013. It may be possible to adopt this proposal by simply incorporating this text into our governing documents:

“Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called by the Chairman of the Board or the President, and shall be called by the Chairman of the Board or President or Secretary upon the order in writing of a majority of or by resolution of the Board of Directors, or at the request in writing of stockholders owning 15% of the entire capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote.”

Please vote to enhance shareholder value:
Special Shareowner Meetings – Proposal 5

Board of Directors Statement in Opposition to Proposal 5

The Board recommends that you vote against this stockholder proposal. We believe that this proposal is unnecessary because our stockholders already have a meaningful right to call special meetings. Currently, any stockholder who individually owns 10 percent, or stockholders who in the aggregate own 25 percent, of our outstanding common stock may demand the calling of a special meeting to consider any business properly before the stockholders. Our BylawsLockheed shareholders also do not restricthave the timing of a request for a special meeting. The only subject matter restriction is that we are not required to call a special meeting to consider a matter that is substantially the same as voted on at a special meeting within the preceding 12 months unless requested by a majority of all stockholders.

Our 25 percent ownership threshold was established by the Board in 2010 and is the most prevalent standard among the companies in our comparator group and is also consistent with Maryland law. The Board also included the 10 percent threshold for individual stockholders to call a special meeting in light of our institutional ownership profile. The Board believes that the aggregate 15% threshold called for in this stockholder proposal is unduly low and could result in a relatively small minority of stockholders using the mechanism of special meetings for their own interest, which may not be shared more broadly by all stockholders. Special meetings can be costly, time-consuming and potentially disruptive to our normal business operations and long-term stockholder interests. We believe that the holders of at least 25% of our common stock (or an individual 10 percent stockholder) would agree to address a matter or concern before a special meeting is called.

In recommending a vote against the stockholder proposal, the Board believes that it is also important to consider our other corporate governance practices and the many stockholder protections we have adopted.

Stockholder Proposal 5

In addition to the stockholderfull right to call a special meeting stockholders havethat is available under Delaware law. According to the lame Lockheed special meeting provision it would take 25% of shares (instead of 10% per Delaware law) to call a numberspecial meeting.

Adoption of waysthis proposal would at least give shareholders a better position to communicate concernsengage with the Board and management about improving the qualifications of our directors. For instance there may be an issue with board refreshment. The following directors had long-tenure of more than 14-years:

Anne Stevens
Joseph Ralston
Nolan Archibald

This long-tenure was compounded by the fact that Ms. Stevens received 20% in negative votes and was potentially distracted with work on 4 boards. Mr. Archibald received 22% in negative votes and had oversized influence oversightsince he was the Lead Director and worked on 2 of the Corporation.most important board committees at Lockheed. Long-tenure can impair the independence of any director no matter how well qualified. Independence is an all-important quality for a director – especially a Lead Director.

Four directors total exceeded 20% in negative votes (running unopposed) and had an oversized influence on Lockheed by holding 7 seats on Lockheed’s most important board committees.

Plus we had too many directors (4) who come from a culture where following orders is paramount. Such directors should be consultants instead of directors.

Lockheed needs to be engaged about the qualifications of its directors at a time of massive cost and schedule overruns on the F-35, a sluggish stealth fighter. It has left Boeing an opening to spruce up the F-18 Hornet design, which first flew in 1978, and potentially steal F-35 orders.

Board of Directors Statement in Opposition to Stockholder Proposal 5

The Board has considered this proposal and recommends that stockholders voteAGAINSTthis proposal for the following reasons:

All directors are elected annuallyOur stockholders already have the right to call a special meeting at any time.Any stockholder who individually owns 10 percent, or stockholders who in the aggregate own 25 percent, of our outstanding common stock may demand the calling of a special meeting to consider any business properly before the stockholders. This threshold is half (or less) of what would be necessary to act by our stockholders.

In uncontested elections, directors mustThe Board believes allowing stockholders to act by written consent circumvents the deliberative stockholder process and could result in an unfair and unsound process because it allows stockholders to take action without complying with the procedural safeguards inherent in the stockholder meeting process.Action by written consent does not require that all stockholders receive a majoritynotice of the votes castwritten consent proposal, be given adequate time to review the subject matter of the proposal, be elected.

given the opportunity to consider alternative views on the proposal, or be afforded the opportunity to debate the merits of the proposal at an open meeting. The Board believes that requiring stockholder business be acted upon at a meeting is an inherently more structured, democratic and open process and helps to ensure the accuracy and completeness of information presented to all stockholders for their consideration.

ToWritten consent provides a greater opportunity for abuse.The written consent proposal does not impose any ownership requirements on the stockholders soliciting written consent and, as a result, it could be initiated by a single stockholder holding a very small number of shares. It may encourage short-term stock ownership manipulation by a small group of investors to advance a special agenda that may be contrary to the long-term best interests of the Corporation and its stockholders. The proposed arrangement may result in frequent special interest demands or complaints relating to the ordinary business of the Corporation that distract management and the Board and may result in significant administrative burdens and expense. It may also create confusion because multiple groups of stockholders would be able to solicit written consents simultaneously, some of which may be duplicative or contradictory.

Our existing corporate governance policies and practices already provide stockholders multiple means to express their views and ensure Board accountability.In addition to providing for stockholders’ right to call special meetings, the Corporation has been responsive to stockholder input and has enhanced its governance policies and practices to further the rights of stockholders and Board accountability. Examples include:
-Proxy Access. In September 2016, the Board proactively adopted a proxy access bylaw provision that allows an eligible stockholder or group of stockholders to nominate candidates for election to the Board of Directors and for those nominees to be included in Lockheed Martin’s proxy solicitation materials. See “Proxy Access” on page 10.
-Amendments to Bylaws. In December 2017, following engagement with many of our largest stockholders, the Board proactively amended the Corporation’s Bylaws to provide that the stockholders shall have an opportunitythe power to raise important issues between annual meetings,amend the Corporation’s Bylaws. See Stockholder Right to Amend Bylaws on page 10.
-Stockholder Engagement. The Corporation has a longstanding, active investor engagement program. At the direction of the Board, the Corporation engages directly with its largest stockholders throughout the year to seek their views on importantan array of issues, including corporate governance matters and executive compensation practices.matters. All stockholders may contact the Lead Director (atLead.Director@lmco.com) individually or the non-management directors as a group at any time (see page 88)78).

-Empowered Independent Lead Director. The independence of our Board and the Board’s oversight of management is enhanced by the robust role executed by our independent Lead Director.
-Board Refreshment. The Board is focused on continuing Board refreshment to ensure our directors’ skill sets continue to align with our long-term business strategy. Four new directors have been added since 2015 (including two appointed during 2017) and three directors have retired from the Board since that time, and an additional director is scheduled to retire at the annual meeting.
-Annually Elected Board. All directors are elected annually by our stockholders.

Stockholder Proposal 5

-Majority Voting Policy for Director Elections. In uncontested elections, directors must receive a majority of the votes cast to be elected.
-No Stockholder Rights Plan. The Corporation does not have a Stockholder Rights Plan or so-called “Poison Pill” in place. Your Board has statedindicated that if it werewas to adopt a Stockholder Rights Plan, we would seek stockholder ratification within 12 months.


Substantially identical proposals were rejected by the Corporation’s stockholders in 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2011.Substantially the same proposal has been submitted by the proponent, considered by the Board and rejected by the stockholders four times in the last seven years. Since theproponent last submitted this proposal in 2015, the Board has implemented proxy access for stockholders and has given stockholders concurrent authority to amend the Bylaws. The Board of Directors continues to believe that this proposal is not in the best interests of all stockholders, and urges our stockholders to reject the proposal once again.

Questions and Answers About the Annual Meeting

Beneficial Owners

If you hold shares through an account with a broker and you do not provide voting instructions, under NYSE rules, your broker may vote your shares on routine matters only. The ratification of theofthe appointment of Ernst & Young LLP (Proposal 2) is considered a routine matter, and your nominee can therefore vote your shares on that Proposal even if you do not provide voting instructions. Proposals 1, 3, 4 and 5 are not considered routine matters, and your nominee cannot vote your shares on those Proposals unless you provide voting instructions. Votes withheld by brokers in the absence of voting instructions from a beneficial owner are referred to as “broker non-votes.”

Multiple Forms of Ownership

The Corporation cannot provide a single proxy or instruction card for stockholders who own shares in multiple forms as registered stockholders, plan participants or beneficial owners. As a result, if your shares are held in multiple types of accounts, you must submit your votes for each type of account in accordance with the instructions you receive for that account.

What is the vote required for each proposal?

For Proposal 1, the votes that stockholders cast “FOR” a director-nominee must exceed the votes that stockholders cast “AGAINST” a director-nominee to approve the election of each director-nominee. For each of Proposals 2, 3, 4 and 5 the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast is required to approve the proposal.“Votes cast” excludes broker non-votes and generally excludes abstentions. Proposals 2, 34 and 5 are advisory and non-binding. However, the Board will review the voting results on these proposals and take the results into account when making future decisions regarding these matters. “Votes cast” exclude abstentions and broker non-votes.

What is the effect of an abstention?

A stockholder who abstains on some or all matters is considered present for purposes of determining if a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, but an abstention is not counted as a vote cast under Maryland law. For matters requiring a vote under the NYSE listing rules such as Proposal 3, however, the NYSE requires thatabstentions be treated as votes cast. AnAccordingly, an abstention has no effect foron the vote on any proposal other than Proposal 3. For Proposal 3, an abstention has the same effect as a vote against the proposal.

What is the effect of a broker non-vote?

If a broker casts a vote on Proposal 2 (Ratification of Auditors), the vote will be included in determining whether a quorum exists for holding the meeting. The broker does not have authority to vote on the other proposals absent directions from the beneficial owner.

As a result, if the beneficial owner does not vote on Proposals 1, 3, 4 or 5 so that there is a “broker non-vote” on those items, the broker non-votes do not count as votes cast for that proposal andhave no effect on the proposal. Thus, a broker non-vote on these proposals will not impact our ability to obtain a quorum, will not affect the outcome with respect to the election of directors and will not otherwise affect the outcome of the vote on a proposal that requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal.

Questions and Answers About the Annual Meeting

What is “householding” and how does it affect me?

We have adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called “householding.” Under this procedure, we send only one Annual Report and Proxy Statement to eligible stockholders who share a single address, unless we have received instructions to the contrary from any stockholder at that address. This practice is designed to reduce our printing and postage costs. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to receive separate proxy cards. We do not use householding for any other stockholder mailings, such as dividend checks, Forms 1099 or account statements.

If you are eligible for householding, but received multiple copies of the Annual Report and Proxy Statement and prefer to receive only a single copy of each of these documents for your household, please contact Computershare, Shareholder Relations, P.O. Box30170,Box 30170, College Station, TX 77842-3170, or call 1-877-498-8861. If you are a registered stockholder residing at an address with other registered stockholders and wish to receive a separate Annual Report or Proxy Statement at this time or in the future, we will provide you with a separate copy. To obtain this copy, please contact Computershare as indicated above. If you own shares through a broker, bank, or other nominee, you should contact the nominee concerning householding procedures.

Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Proxy Statement contains statements that, to the extent they are not recitations of historical fact, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, and are based on Lockheed Martin’s current expectations and assumptions. The words “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “intend,” “expect,” “plan,” “outlook,” “scheduled,” “forecast” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially due to factors such as:


the Corporation’s reliance on contracts with the U.S. Government, which are conditioned upon the availability of funding and can be terminated by the U.S. Government for convenience, and the Corporation’s ability to negotiate favorable contract terms;
budget uncertainty, any failure to further raise the debt ceiling, and the potential for a government shutdown; affordability initiatives; the implementation of automatic sequestration under the Budget Control Act of 2011 or Congressional actions intended to replace sequestration;
risks related to the development, production, sustainment, performance, schedule, cost and requirements of complex and technologically advanced programs including the Corporation’s largest, the F-35 program;
economic, industry, business and political conditions including their effects on governmental policy;
the Corporation’s success expanding into and doing business in adjacent markets and internationally; the differing risks posed by international sales, including those involving commercial relationships with unfamiliar customers and different cultures; our ability to recover investments which is frequently dependent upon the successful operation of ventures that we do not control; and changes in foreign national priorities, and foreign government budgets;
the competitive environment for the Corporation’s products and services, including increased pricing pressures, competition from outside the aerospace and defense industry, and increased bid protests;
planned production rates for significant programs; compliance with stringent performance and reliability standards; materials availability;
the performance and financial viability of key suppliers, teammates, ventures, venture partners, subcontractors and customers;
the timing and customer acceptance of product deliveries;
the Corporation’s ability to continue to innovate and develop new products and to attract and retain key personnel and transfer knowledge to new personnel; the impact of work stoppages or other labor disruptions;
the impact of cyber or other security threats or other disruptions to the Corporation’s businesses;
the Corporation’s ability to implement and continue capitalization changes such as share repurchases and dividend payments (including the availability of sufficient net earnings to permit such distributions under Maryland law), pension funding as well as the pace and effect of any such capitalization changes;
the Corporation’s ability to recover certain costs under U.S. Government contracts and changes in contract mix;
the accuracy of the Corporation’s estimates and projections;
movements in interest rates and other changes that may affect pension plan assumptions, equity, the level of the FAS/CAS adjustment and actual returns on pension plan assets;
realizing the anticipated benefits of acquisitions or divestitures, ventures, teaming arrangements or internal reorganizations, and the Corporation’s efforts to increase the efficiency of its operations and improve the affordability of its products and services;
risk of an impairment of goodwill, investments or other longterm assets, including the potential impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and inventory recorded as a result of the Sikorsky acquisition if Sikorsky does not perform as expected, has a deterioration of projected cash flows, negative changes in market factors, including oil and gas trends, or a significant increase in carrying value of the reporting unit;
the adequacy of the Corporation’s insurance and indemnities;
the effect of changes in (or the interpretation of): legislation, regulation or policy, including those applicable to procurement (including competition from fewer and larger prime contractors), cost allowability or recovery, accounting, taxation (including the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act), or export; and
the outcome of legal proceedings, bid protests, environmental remediation efforts, government investigations or government allegations that we have failed to comply with law, other contingencies and U.S. Government identification of deficiencies in the Corporation’s business systems.

These are only some of the factors that may affect the forward-looking statements contained in this Proxy Statement. For a discussion identifying additional important factors that could cause actual results to vary materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, see the Corporation’s filings with the SEC including, but not limited to, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2017 and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The Corporation’s filings may be accessed through the Investor Relations page of its website,www.lockheedmartin.com/investor, or through the website maintained by the SEC atwww.sec.gov.

The Corporation’s actual financial results likely will be different from those projected due to the inherent nature of projections. Given these uncertainties, forward-looking statements should not be relied on in making investment decisions. The forward-looking statements contained in this Proxy Statement speak only as of the date of its filing. Except where required by applicable law, the Corporation expressly disclaims a duty to provide updates to forward-looking statements after the date of this Proxy Statement to reflect subsequent events, changed circumstances, changes in expectations, or the estimates and assumptions associated with them. The forward-looking statements in this Proxy Statement are intended to be subject to the safe harbor protection provided by the federal securities laws.
