March 11, 2020 Dear Fellow Stockholders: You are cordially invited to attend Lockheed Martin's 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on Thursday, April 23, 2020, at 8:00 a.m. EDT. Celebrating 25 Years as Lockheed Martin On March 15, 1995, Lockheed and Martin Marietta officially combined in a “merger of equals” to form Lockheed Martin. As we celebrate 25 years as a single company, I’m proud to report that Lockheed Martin has never been stronger. Both companies brought a rich heritage with roots that reach back to the early days of aviation, when Allan and Malcolm Lockheed and Glenn Martin founded their respective companies in 1912. These pioneering businesses developed some of the most innovative technologies of the 20th century. We are honored to have furthered this legacy over the past 25 years and we will continue to shape the future of aerospace and defense for decades to come. Record 2019 Financial Performance In 2019, Lockheed Martin delivered another year of outstanding financial performance for our stockholders. We increased net sales and net earnings by double digit percentages year-over-year, achieving new records of $59.8 billion and $6.2 billion, respectively. Our earnings per share reached $21.95, representing a 25 percent increase over 2018. In addition, we generated $7.3 billion in cash from operations after discretionary pension contributions of $1.0 billion and returned $3.8 billion in cash to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases. We were also pleased to end the year with a record backlog of $144 billion, setting the stage for continued success in 2020. For more detailed information on our financial results, please review our proxy statement and the enclosed 2019 Annual Report. The Power of Our People We recognize that in order to drive innovation and operational excellence, we must attract, develop, motivate, and retain world-class talent. Through the execution of our people strategy and management succession plan, we're working to expand our talent pipeline and build a workforce with the skills necessary to thrive in the workplace of the future. Our workforce development efforts are focused on ensuring that Lockheed Martin will maintain our leadership position in the industry and continue to provide our customers with innovative solutions to emerging challenges. Commitment to Sound Corporate Governance We are committed to implementing best practices in corporate governance to promote accountability to our stockholders. Board refreshment is an important element of our corporate governance framework. Over the past five years, we have added seven new independent directors, reducing our average director tenure to five years. Debra L. Reed-Klages became a director in November, further enhancing the diversity of our board. Debra’s international business leadership experience, combined with her expertise in risk management and environmental sustainability, make her an excellent addition to our team. Retired Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Joseph F. Dunford, Jr. also joined our board in February 2020. General Dunford's experience in complex, global operations and risk management, including cybersecurity threats, is a tremendous asset and will enhance board oversight in key business areas. Following the 2019 annual meeting, our independent directors elected Dan Akerson to serve as the independent Lead Director. Dan is a proven leader who will continue to provide independent oversight and expert guidance to the board. On behalf of the entire board of directors, I want to thank you for your continued investment in Lockheed Martin. Even if you plan to attend the annual meeting in person, we urge you to promptly cast your vote in accordance with the board's recommendations. Sincerely, |  |
| Marillyn A. Hewson Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
| “As we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Lockheed Martin merger, I’m proud to report that our company has never been stronger. In the decades to come, we will further the rich legacies of our heritage companies by continuing to shape the future of aerospace and defense around the world.”

Proxy Statement Summary
Our Alignment with Governance Standards
In 2018, Lockheed Martin became a signatory to the Commonsense Principles 2.0, a series of corporate governance principles for public companies, their boards and their institutional stockholders, which are intended to provide a basic framework for sound, long-term oriented governance. These Principles recognize that not every principle will be applied in the same fashion (or at all) by every company or board. In addition, our corporate governance practices comply with the Investor Stewardship Group (ISG) Corporate Governance Principles for U.S. Listed Companies that went into effect in 2018. Below we identify each of the ISG's corporate governance principles and how our specific practices are aligned.

Boards are accountable to stockholders |  | Boards should adopt structures and practices that enhance their effectiveness
✓ Annual election of directors ✓ Majority voting standard for uncontested director elections ✓ Directors not receiving majority support tender resignation to Board for consideration ✓ Market-standard proxy access right for stockholders ✓ No poison pill ✓ Fully disclose corporate governance practices |  | ✓ 11 of 12 directors are independent ✓ 4 of our directors are women ✓ Significant Board refreshment ✓ Directors reflect a diverse mix of skills and experience ✓ All Board committees are fully independent ✓ Annual Board and committee self-assessments ✓ Board access to officers and employees ✓ 2019 Board attendance greater than 98% ✓ Overboarding policy ensures Board members can devote sufficient time to the Corporation
Boards should be responsive to stockholders and be proactive in order to understand their perspectives |  | Boards should have strong, independent leadership
✓ Proactive, year-round engagement with stockholders, including participation of independent Lead Director ✓ Engagement topics included Board refreshment, executive compensation, and environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters |  | ✓ Empowered independent Lead Director ✓ Annual review of Board leadership structure ✓ Independent chairs of all Board committees
Stockholders should be entitled to voting rights in proportion to their economic interest |  | Boards should develop management incentive structures that are aligned with the long-term strategy of the company
✓ One class of voting stock ✓ “One share, one vote” standard |  | ✓ Compensation programs actively reviewed by the Board and include short- and long-term goals tied to the long-range plan and that underpin our long-term strategy

Board Effectiveness
Our Board takes a multi-faceted approach to continually assess Board composition and evaluate effectiveness.

Practices Contributing to Board Effectiveness
| Ø Identification of Diverse Board Candidates |  | Meaningful Refreshment The Board has added 7 new directors in the past 5 years. Skills enhanced in past 5 years: • Enterprise risk management • Environment, safety and health, and sustainability expertise • Global organization experience • Innovation, information technology and cybersecurity • Industry and customer experience
| Ø Rotation of Board Committee Assignments

| Ø Robust Onboarding and Continuing Education
| Ø Tenure and Overboarding Guidelines

Stockholder Outreach

Lockheed Martin engages with a broad range of stockholders, including index funds, unions and public pension funds, actively-managed funds and socially-responsible investment funds, and proxy advisory firms. During 2019, we contacted 47 of our largest institutional investors, stockholders and other significant stakeholders, representing over 45 percent of our outstanding shares, and invited them to engage on various topics including board composition, executive compensation, human capital management, ESG matters, as well as any other topics of interest. We engaged by telephone conference or written correspondence with over 30 of the stakeholders contacted, including stockholders representing approximately 39 percent of our outstanding shares. |  | 30+ Engagements 25+ Stockholders 39% Outstanding Stock (as of December 31, 2019)

Proxy Statement Summary
Compensation Highlights
2019 Pay and Performance
A substantial portion of compensation paid to our named executive officers (NEOs) is performance-based. We use the 50 th 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. This outcome is consistent with our pay-for-performance philosophy to set pay and targets at market levels, but pay incentive compensation to reflect actual performance.

Based on our strong short- and long-term financial and operational performance, as manifested in record sales, backlog, segment operating profit, and earnings per share for the year, our 2019 annual and 2017-2019 long-term incentive plans paid out above the targets.

1-, 3- and 5-Year Total Stockholder Returns |

* | See Non-GAAP terms in Appendix B for an explanation of “Segment Operating Profit,” “Return on Invested Capital (ROIC),” and “Performance Cash” and our forward-looking statements concerning future performance or goals for future performance.

Compensation Best Practices

| Best Practices in Our Programs |  |  | Practices We Do Not Engage In or Allow
• Pay aligns with performance • Market-based (50 th percentile) approach for determining NEO target pay levels • Caps on annual and long-term incentives, including when Total Stockholder Return (TSR) is negative • Enhanced clawback policy on variable pay • Double-trigger provisions for change in control • Robust stock ownership requirements • Low burn rate and dilution • Incentive payouts deteriorate more rapidly between minimum and target as compared to target and maximum • No payment of dividends or dividend equivalents on unvested equity awards |  | • No employment agreements • No option backdating, cash out of underwater options or repricing • No excise tax assistance (gross-ups) upon a change in control • No tax gross-ups on personal use of corporate aircraft • No individual change in control agreements • No automatic acceleration of unvested incentive awards in the event of termination • No enhanced retirement formula or inclusion of long-term incentives in pensions • No enhanced death benefits for executives • No hedging or pledging of Company stock

Proxy Statement Summary
Enterprise Risk and Sustainability
Sustainability Governance Structure

We take an integrated approach to managing a spectrum of corporate culture, ethics and business integrity, governance and sustainability through a risk management lens. Oversight of ESG matters follows our formal sustainability governance structure. This structure includes our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (Governance Committee), the executive leadership team and a working group of key functional leaders who partner to implement sustainability policies and processes across our operations. The Governance Committee is chartered by the Board of Directors to lead its oversight responsibilities relating to the Corporation’s ethical conduct, environmental stewardship, corporate culture, philanthropy, workforce diversity, health and safety. |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | Sustainability Mission |
|  | Our sustainability mission is to foster innovation, integrity and security to protect the environment, strengthen communities and propel responsible growth. |
|  | Our Sustainability Governance Structure |
Relevant Issues and Strategic Priorities Through 2020, we are focusing on five core sustainability issues and objectives, set forth below. These five core issues include ESG topics that represent stakeholder priorities and drivers of long-term value creation. In 2019, we underwent a core issues assessment and surveyed our stakeholders to inform our sustainability priorities beyond 2020. We also established the next generation of our Go Green environmental stewardship goals. Refer to page 32 for further details. |  |
Our independent directors who serve on the Governance Committee review performance against the Sustainability Management Plan (SMP), a set of targets that correspond to objectives associated with our five core issues listed above. The Governance Committee also approves the Corporation’s Code of Conduct (www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/who-we-are/ethics/code-of-ethics.html) and annual Sustainability Report (www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/who-we-are/sustainability.html). |  |

9 |

Proposal 1 | Election of Directors |
• Diverse slate of directors with broad leadership and customer experience. • All nominees are independent, except the Chairman. • Average director tenure is five years with seven new directors in five years. | The Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR each of the director-nominees.

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.

Summary of Director-Nominees’ Core Competencies
We consider current Board skills, background, experience, tenure and anticipated retirements to identify gaps that may need to be filled through the Board refreshment process. The following chart summarizes the core competencies that the Board considers valuable to effective oversight of the Corporation, and illustrates how the current Board members individually and collectively represent these key competencies. The lack of an indicator for a particular item does not mean that the director does not possess that qualification, skill or experience rather, the indicator represents that the item is a core competency that the director brings to the Board.

Board Effectiveness, Evaluations and Refreshment
Board composition is a critical area of focus for the Board. Having the right mix of people who bring diverse perspectives, business and professional experiences and competencies as well as professional integrity, sound judgment and collegiality, provides a foundation for robust dialogue, informed advice and collaboration in the boardroom. The Board strives to ensure an environment that encourages diverse critical thinking and values innovative, strategic discussions to achieve a higher level of success for the Corporation and its stockholders. The Governance Committee screens and recommends candidates for nomination by the full Board. The Governance Committee uses a variety of methods to help identify potential board candidates with the desired skills and background needed for the Corporation’s business, including informal networks, internal resources and other channels.
Effective November 1, 2019, the Board appointed Debra L. Reed-Klages to the Board and effective February 10, 2020, the Board appointed Joseph F. Dunford, Jr. to the Board (see Ms. Reed-Klages' and Mr. Dunford's biographies on pages 16 and 12, respectively). Using publicly available data and director networks, our internal executive search team compiled a list of prospective director candidates reflecting the Board's criteria, qualifications and experience, which was focused on identifying directors with relevant public company experience, global expertise, government experience and diverse perspectives given recent retirements. Ms. Reed-Klages and Mr. Dunford were identified from this source pool by the Chairman and the Governance Committee and were interviewed by the Chairman and independent Lead Director, who also chairs the Governance Committee. While there is no formal Board policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees, the source pool intentionally included candidates with diverse backgrounds and the election of Ms. Reed-Klages further enhanced the Board's diversity.

Board Refreshment Elements

| Governance Committee Review of Board Candidates The Board seeks a diverse group of candidates who, at a minimum, possess the background, skills, expertise, competencies and time to make a significant contribution to the Board. The Governance Guidelines (available at www.lockheedmartin.com/corporate-governance) list criteria against which candidates may be judged. In addition, the Governance Committee considers, among other things: • input from the Board’s self-assessment process to prioritize areas of expertise that were identified; • investor feedback and perceptions; • the candidates’ skills and competencies to ensure they are aligned to the Corporation’s future strategic challenges and opportunities; • the needs of the Board in light of Board retirements; and • a 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 currently 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 at www.lockheedmartin.com/corporate-governance.
| Board Committee Assignments In February of each year, the Governance Committee reviews the membership, tenure, leadership and commitments of each of the committees and considers possible changes given the qualifications and skill sets of 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. The Governance Committee also reviews the operation of the Board generally and based upon its recommendation, the Board approved the consolidation of the Strategic Affairs Committee into the Audit Committee effective immediately following the 2019 annual meeting.

Proposal 1: Election of Directors

| Annual Performance Assessment The Board conducts a self-assessment of its performance and effectiveness as well as that of its committees on an annual basis. The self-assessment helps the Governance Committee to track progress in certain areas targeted for improvement from year-to-year and to identify ways to enhance the Board’s and its committees’ effectiveness. The evaluation process includes the following steps: |
| 1 | Annual Written Questionnaire | Open-ended questions to solicit candid feedback. Topics covered include: • Board meeting content • Board culture • Board leadership structure • Board composition, selection and diversity • Potential skills gaps for identifying board candidates • Committee effectiveness • Evaluation of risks • Peer assessment |
| 2 | One-on-One Discussions with Independent Lead Director | Every few years, including in 2019, the independent Lead Director conducts separate, one-on-one discussions with each director to discuss any additional feedback or perspectives. |
| 3 | Committee/Board Private Sessions | The Governance Committee and each other committee and the full board review the results of the evaluations in private session. The board discussion is led by the independent Lead Director. |
| 4 | Feedback Incorporated | • 2018 and 2019 Committee consolidations • Moved oversight of cybersecurity (other than classified cyber) to the full Board • Added additional directors with CEO and senior military experience • New independent Lead Director and committee leadership selections |
| Robust Onboarding and Continuing Education New directors are provided a comprehensive orientation about the Corporation, including our business operations, strategy and governance. New directors have one-on-one sessions with the CEO, other directors and other members of senior management. Members of our senior management regularly review with the Board the operating plan of each of our business segments and the Corporation as a whole. The Board also conducts periodic site visits to our facilities as part of its regularly scheduled Board meetings and directors are encouraged to visit sites on an ad hoc basis and meet one-on-one with members of senior management and other employees. Directors are encouraged to attend outside director continuing education programs sponsored by educational and other institutions to assist them in staying abreast of developments in corporate governance and critical issues relating to the operation of public company boards. |

Our Tenure Guidelines

Mandatory Retirement Age | A director must retire at the annual meeting following his or her 75 th birthday.
Term Limits | We do not have term limits for directors as we believe implementing term limitations may prevent the Board from taking advantage of insight that longer tenure brings.
Employment Change | Directors should expect to resign upon any significant change in principal employment or responsibilities.
Failed Election | Directors must offer to resign as a result of a failed stockholder vote under majority voting policy.

Corporate Governance
Lockheed Martin believes good governance is integral to achieving long-term stockholder value. The Board’s primary role is to oversee management and represent the interests of stockholders. Directors are expected to attend Board meetings, the meetings of the committees on which they serve and the annual meeting of stockholders. The Board and its committees regularly schedule and hold executive sessions without any members of management present. Between meetings, directors interact with the Chairman, President and CEO, the independent Lead Director and other members of management and are available to provide advice and counsel to management.

Message from the Independent Lead Director The Board believes that having a strong, independent Lead Director role is important to sound corporate governance. I was elected in April 2019 upon the retirement of my predecessor in this role, Nolan Archibald. The Board has structured the role of the independent Lead Director to further enhance the functioning of the Board and with sufficient authority to serve as a counterbalance to management. The responsibilities of the role, as specified in the Bylaws include to: • preside as chair at Board meetings while in executive sessions of the non-management members of the Board or executive sessions of the independent directors or if the Chairman is not present; |
Daniel F. Akerson, Independent Lead Director
• determine the frequency and timing of executive sessions of non-management directors and report to the Chairman on all relevant matters arising from those sessions; • consult with the Chairman and committee chairs regarding the topics for and schedules of the meetings of the Board and committees and approve the topics for and schedules of Board meetings; • review and approve all Board and committee agendas and provide input to management on the scope and quality of information sent to the Board; • assist with recruitment of director candidates and, along with the Chairman, extend invitations to potential directors to join the Board; • act as liaison between the Board and management and among the directors and the committees of the Board; • serve as a member of the Executive Committee of the Board; • serve as an ex-officio member of each committee if not otherwise a member of the committee; • serve as the point of contact for stockholders and others to communicate with the Board; • recommend to the Board and committees the retention of advisors and consultants who report directly to the Board; • call a special meeting of the Board or of the independent directors at any time, at any place and for any purpose; and • perform all other duties as may be assigned by the Board from time to time. In addition to my review of Board and committee agendas, the committee chairs also review and discuss the agendas for the meetings in advance of distribution of the agendas and related Board or committee material. I look forward to continuing to work closely with our Chairman and CEO and contributing to our Board’s strong oversight as Lead Director and to engagement with stockholders. I welcome your comments. Stockholders and other interested parties may communicate with me by email at Lead.Director@lmco.com.

www.lockheedmartin.com | 2020 Proxy Statement | 19

Corporate Governance
Board Leadership Structure
The Board believes that it must be independent and must provide strong and effective oversight. 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-current 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. Ms. Hewson's extensive knowledge of the Corporation and the aerospace and defense industry gained through her 37 years of experience in various executive leadership positions is valuable to the Board in the role as Chairman. This structure allows the Corporation to present a single face to our customers through the combined Chairman and CEO position while at the same time providing an active role and voice for the independent directors through the independent Lead Director.
In connection with the retirement of our former independent Lead Director, Nolan D. Archibald, at the 2019 annual meeting, the Governance Committee reviewed the current leadership structure and determined that it continues to provide effective independent oversight and to meet the needs of the Corporation. The independent directors will continue to review the leadership structure on an ongoing basis, at least annually, to provide effective risk management and to ensure that it continues to meet the needs of the Corporation and support the generation of stockholder value over the long-term.
Each year, our Bylaws and Governance Guidelines mandate that the independent members of the Board elect an independent director to serve as the Lead Director by the affirmative vote of a majority of the independent directors, meaning those who have been determined to be “independent” for purposes of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) listing standards.
Executive Sessions
Generally, each meeting agenda of the Board and each committee includes an executive session of the non-management directors. The Governance Guidelines require that at least three Board meetings per year will include an executive session of the non-management directors. In each case, these sessions include a discussion of the performance of the Chairman and CEO. The independent Lead Director presides during the executive sessions of the Board, and will report the results to the Chairman and CEO on all relevant matters, or invite the Chairman and CEO to join the executive session for further discussion, as appropriate. If the group of non-management directors includes directors who are not independent directors, at least one executive session including only independent directors will be scheduled each year. The respective chairman of each committee presides during the committee executive sessions.

Corporate Governance
Committees of the Board of Directors
The Board has five standing committees: Audit, Classified Business and Security (CBS Committee), Executive, Management Development and Compensation (Compensation Committee) and Nominating and Corporate Governance (Governance Committee). Charters for each committee are available on the Corporation’s website at www.lockheedmartin.com/corporate-governance. In addition to these committees, the Board may establish other standing or special committees as may be necessary to carry out its responsibilities. Descriptions of each of the standing Committees are set forth below.
Committee Consolidations
Effective immediately following the 2019 annual meeting, the Board's former Strategic Affairs Committee was consolidated into the Audit Committee, which followed the consolidation in 2018 of our Ethics and Sustainability Committee with our Governance Committee. Our recent committee consolidations have made our meetings more efficient by eliminating redundancies and providing more time for discussion of topics in the remaining committees. In addition, certain matters involving strategy that were previously covered by the Strategic Affairs Committee were determined to be matters that would be best covered by the full Board. The consolidation of the committees has not resulted in less coverage of the items within the jurisdiction of the consolidated committees or the Board and has not overburdened any committee. The Board believes the Board oversight and strategic guidance of the respective issues has been enhanced.
Messrs. Burritt, Ellis, Ralston and Taiclet served on the Strategic Affairs Committee until its consolidation with the Audit Committee in April 2019. There were no Strategic Affairs Committee meetings held in 2019.

Board Role and Responsibilities
Board Role in Strategic Planning
The Board is involved in strategic planning and review throughout the year. Every September the Board meets in a half-day session dedicated to a discussion of the Corporation’s strategy, one-year plan and three-year long-range plan. The Chairman, President and CEO regularly reviews developments against the Corporation’s strategic framework at Board meetings and provides updates between regularly scheduled sessions as necessary. This schedule corresponds to management’s annual schedule for developing the long-range plan and provides the Board with the opportunity to provide input while the long-range plan is being developed and to monitor progress on the plan. In addition:

• | the Board (or the appropriate committee) reviews the progress and challenges to the Corporation’s strategy and approves specific initiatives, including acquisitions and divestitures over a certain monetary threshold;

• | the Board (or the appropriate committee) reviews trends identified as significant risks and topical items of strategic interest such as human capital strategy and cybersecurity on a regular basis;

• | at least annually, the Board meets at a Corporation facility where directors can tour the operations and engage directly with employees and experience first-hand the Corporation's culture; and

• | each business segment executive vice president presents an operations review to the Board and each business segment financial officer presents a financial review to the Audit Committee on a rotating basis.

Corporate Governance
Enterprise Risk Management
Our risk management philosophy is to balance risk and reward within the risk tolerance of management and the Board, taking into account the Corporation's operations and long-term strategy. This is accomplished through risk management practices, our core values and our Code of 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 Enterprise level. Business segment management provides updates on risks to individual business segment objectives. Additional information regarding the Board's role in enterprise risk manageme nt is provided on page 31.
Management Succession Planning
Management has established semi-annual talent reviews. During these reviews, the executive leadership team discusses succession plans for key positions and identifies top talent for development in future leadership roles. Our Board is actively engaged in management succession planning. Our CEO provides the Board with her views and recommendations on potential CEO and other senior management talent and reviews development opportunities for these leaders. CEO succession planning discussions are led by the independent Lead Director and the directors have direct access to and interaction with members of senior management and high potential future leaders as part of this succession planning. This includes informal and one-on-one settings to enable directors to personally assess potential candidates and cultivate future leaders. The Board of Directors maintains a succession plan for the CEO and other key members of management and has a contingency plan if the CEO were to depart unexpectedly.
The Corporation has a corporate policy imposing a mandatory retirement age of 65 for all executive officers other than the CEO. The CEO’s tenure is at the discretion of the Board, which is free to consider all relevant factors.

Board Oversight of our People Strategy
The Board is actively engaged in oversight of human capital management. Annually, the Board meets to review our succession strategy and leadership pipeline for key roles, including the CEO, taking into account the Corporation’s long-term corporate strategy. More broadly, the Board is regularly informed on key talent indicators for the overall workforce, including performance against diversity metrics with respect to representation, hiring, promotions, and leadership. Talent management and employee engagement metrics and goals are included in the strategic and operational performance measures in management's annual incentive program. The Board also reviews our annual employee engagement survey results. The Board is updated on the Corporation’s People Strategy on an annual basis, which is refined based on business drivers, the changing internal and external environment, and the future of work. Board members also are active partners, engaging and spending time with our high potential leaders throughout the year at Board meetings and other events. In 2019, Lockheed Martin transitioned from the term “Human Capital Management” to “People Strategy” which conveys our commitment to expanding our talent pipeline and critical skills to build our future workforce. Lockheed Martin's People Strategy is tightly aligned with our business needs and technology strategy. We continue to respond with agile solutions to internal and external environmental shifts, which includes delivering a robust pipeline of talent to support future business growth, remain competitive and to attract, develop, motivate and retain our workforce.

Corporate Governance
Effective Stockholder Engagement
The Board of Directors places great importance on regularly communicating with our stockholders to better understand their viewpoints and inform discussions in the boardroom. The Governance Committee oversees our stockholder engagement efforts on behalf of the Board. Accountability to our stockholders is an important component of the Corporation’s success. We recognize the value of building informed and meaningful relationships with our investors that promote further transparency and accountability. Our Governance Guidelines outline our stockholder engagement program.
We believe that proactive engagement with our stockholders can be an effective and impactful means to address stockholders' questions and concerns and to seek feedback on our policies and practices. Stockholders' views are continuously communicated to the Board throughout the year and are instrumental in the development of our governance, compensation and sustainability policies and inform our business strategy. In particular, the Board recognizes the importance of ESG topics to our stockholder base, and will continue to seek stockholder input on a range of ESG issues and practices in furtherance of enhancing long-term stockholder value.
Topics discussed during engagements over the past year include:

• | the independent Lead Director's and Board's independent oversight of management

• | how the Board thinks about its composition and refreshment

• | the Board's role in overseeing strategy and human capital management

• | our commitment to sound compensation practices and pay-for-performance

• | how sustainability goals are linked to executive pay with pre-set metrics and goals under our annual incentive program

• | our equity grant practices and the proposed provisions of the new equity plan as described in Proposal 4

• | our integrated approach to managing corporate culture, ethics and business integrity, governance and sustainability

These investor and stakeholder discussions yielded valuable feedback that was incorporated into the Board's deliberations.

Stockholder Engagement Cycle

Year-Round Engagement with Stockholders • Solicit feedback on governance best practices and trends, Board composition and refreshment, executive compensation, human capital management, ESG matters and other topics of interest to stockholders • Discuss stockholder proposals with proponents, if any • Respond to investor inquiries and requests for information or engagement | Annual Meeting of Stockholders • Publish Annual Report, Proxy Statement and Sustainability Report • Specific engagements with stockholders about the voting matters to be addressed at the annual meeting in April • Receive and publish voting results for management and stockholder proposals

Board Policies and Processes
Corporate Governance Guidelines
The Board has adopted Governance Guidelines that describe the framework within which the Board and its committees oversee the governance of the Corporation. The current Governance Guidelines are available on the Corporation’s website at www.lockheedmartin.com/corporate-governance.
The Governance Committee regularly assesses our governance practices considering emerging trends and practices and implements best governance practices that it believes enhance the operation and effectiveness of the Board.
Our Governance Guidelines cover a wide range of subjects, including:

• The role of the Board and director responsibilities; • The role and responsibilities of the independent Lead Director; • Application of our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (the Code of Conduct) to the Board; • Director nomination procedures and qualifications; • Director independence standards; • Director overboarding limits; • Policies for the review, approval and ratification of related person transactions; • Director orientation and continuing education; • Review by the Governance Committee of any change in job responsibilities of directors; | • Procedures for annual performance evaluations of the Board and its committees; • Director stock ownership guidelines; • Clawback policy for executive incentive compensation; • Policy prohibiting hedging and pledging of company stock; • Majority voting for the election of directors and resignation procedures for directors who fail to receive a majority vote; • Process for director compensation review, specifically use of competitive data and input from independent compensation consultant; and • Stockholder engagement program; our independent Lead Director will consider requests to speak to investors and will designate (in consultation with the Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary) a director to engage with the requesting investors, if appropriate.

Director Overboarding Policy
T he 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 are able to dedicate sufficient time to their service on the Corporation’s Board. Therefore, the Governance Guidelines prov ide that, without obtaining the approval of the Governance Committee:

Directors | A director may not serve on the boards of more than four other public companies.
Public Company CEO or Equivalent | Active CEOs or equivalent may not serve on the boards of more than two other public companies.
Audit Committee | Audit Committee members may not serve on more than two other public company audit committees.
Compensation Committee | Compensation Committee members may not serve on more than three other public company compensation committees.

Directors must notify the CEO, independent 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.

Corporate Governance
Director Independence
All of our directors are independent under applicable NYSE listing 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 the Corporation’s website at www.lockheedmartin.com/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, David B. Burritt, Bruce A. Carlson, Joseph F. Dunford, Jr., James O. Ellis, Jr., Thomas J. Falk, Ilene S. Gordon, Vicki A. Hollub, Jeh C. Johnson, Debra L. Reed-Klages and James D. Taiclet, Jr. The Board determined that Nolan D. Archibald and Joseph W. Ralston who retired in April 2019 were independent while they 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 28, which it determined were immaterial to each 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. These relationships included: Mr. Akerson (CommScope Holding Company, Inc. and Northrop Grumman Corporation (family member’s employer)); Mr. Carlson (Benchmark Electronics Inc. and Utah State University Research Foundation); Mr. Dunford (K&L Gates LLP (family member's employer)); Mr. Ellis (Blue Origin, LLC (family member’s employer), The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, Dominion Energy Inc., and Stanford University); Ms. Gordon (International Paper Company and The MIT Corporation); and Ms. Reed-Klages (The Boeing Company (family member’s employer), Caterpillar Inc., Chevron Corporation, the University of Southern California and Virgin Galactic (family member's former employer)). 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 consideration 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 and Compensation 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 at www.lockheedmartin.com/corporate-governance. Under the 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.

27 |

Corporate Governance
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 indirect 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. We currently employ approximately 110,000 employees and have an active recruitment program for soliciting job applications from qualified candidates. We seek to hire the most qualified candidates and consequently do not preclude the employment of family members of current directors or executive officers. William J. Drennen, III, the brother-in-law of our chief accounting officer, is employed by the Corporation as a senior staff systems engineer. Mr. Drennen’s 2019 base salary was $166,155 and he received an annual cash incentive award of $19,939. His base salary was increased to $169,478 for 2020 and he is eligible to earn an incentive award applicable to employees at his level. Bruce Carlson's son, Dr. Scott Carlson, is employed by the Corporation as a senior staff aeronautical engineer. Dr. Carlson's 2019 base salary was $144,840 and he received an annual cash incentive award of $17,381. His base salary was increased to $148,026 for 2020 and he may be eligible to earn an incentive award applicable to employees at his level. Mr. Drennen and Dr. Carlson may participate in other employee benefit plans and arrangements that generally are made available to other employees at the same level (including health, welfare, vacation, and retirement plans). Their respective compensation was established in accordance with the Corporation’s employment and compensation practices applicable to employees with equivalent qualifications, experience, and responsibilities and the Board and executive officers of the Corporation did not have any direct involvement in setting their individual compensation. Neither Mr. Drennen nor Dr. Carlson served as an executive officer of the Corporation during 2019.
From time to time, the Corporation has purchased services in the ordinary course of business from financial institutions that beneficially own five percent or more of our common stock. In 2019, the Corporation paid approximately $10,265,874 to State Street Corporation and its affiliates (including State Street Bank and Trust Company) (collectively, State Street) for investment management, custodial, benefit plan administration fees and credit facility fees; approximately $1,087,012 to BlackRock, Inc. and its affiliates for investment management fees; approximately $2,842,126 to Capital Guardian, an affiliate of Capital World Investors, for investment management fees; and approximately $320,722 to The Vanguard Group, Inc., for investment management fees. A portion of the fees included in the amounts paid to State Street, BlackRock, Inc., Capital Guardian and The Vanguard Group are estimated based on a percentage of net asset value under management.
Joseph W. Ralston, a former director who retired at the 2019 annual meeting, was employed during 2019 as Vice Chairman of The Cohen Group, a consulting business that performs services for the Corporation. In 2019, we paid The Cohen Group $631,820 for consulting services and related expenses. Mr. Ralston’s compensation earned at The Cohen Group was not impacted by the consulting services delivered to the Corporation. The Board assessed and approved these relationships.
Accountability to Stockholders
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.

www.lockheedmartin.com | 2020 Proxy Statement | 28

Corporate Governance
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:

• | the qualifications of the director whose resignation has been tendered;

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

• | the overall composition of the Board and its committees;

• | whether 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

• | the percentage of outstanding shares represented by the votes cast at the annual meeting.

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 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.
Stockholder Right to Amend Bylaws
Following a dialogue with many of our largest investors 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. The authority 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 at www.lockheedmartin.com/corporate-governance.
Proxy Access
O ur 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 and include 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 95.
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 the Corporation is not required to call a special meeting to consider a matter that is substantially the same as a matter voted on at a special meeting within the preceding 12 months unless requested by stockholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes at the special meeting.
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 intention of adopting one at this time and if it were to adopt a Stockholder Rights Plan, the Board would seek stockholder ratification within 12 months of the date of adoption.

29 |

Enterprise Risk and Sustainability
Oversight of ESG matters follows our formal sustainability governance structure. This structure includes our Governance Committee, the executive leadership team and a working group of key functional leaders who partner to implement sustainability policies and processes across our operations. The Governance Committee is chartered by the Board of Directors to lead its oversight responsibilities relating to the Corporation's ethical conduct, environmental stewardship, corporate culture, philanthropy, workforce diversity, health and safety.
As a leader in developing and delivering innovative engineering solutions, Lockheed Martin helps to enable the growth, safety, and resiliency of communities and economies around the world. The core sustainability issues we focus on and the corresponding actions we take are designed to address some of the most pressing ESG issues facing society today and in the future.
Stakeholder Engagement and Core Issues Assessment
As described on page 9, our core sustainability issues represent stakeholder priorities and drivers of long-term value creation. To ensure we continue focusing on issues that are of greatest relevance to our stakeholders, we periodically ask for feedback through a series of core issues assessment roundtables. Our most recent roundtables and other engagement activities informed the continued evolution of our Sustainability Management Plan (SMP) for beyond 2020. In 2019, we held six stakeholder workshops, conducted surveys, and leveraged artificial intelligence-based analytical tools to collect and analyze feedback from eight different stakeholder segments in the U.S. and Europe: academia, customers, employees, government, industry peers, investors, non-governmental organizations, and suppliers. More than 60 employees and 30 external stakeholders participated, which resulted in an over 30% increase in overall engagement as compared with our previous core issues assessment in 2015. Through structured discussions and survey input, we learned more about their expectations and explored current and emerging trends facing our stakeholders and our sectors.
We analyzed stakeholder feedback on 40 sustainability issues informed by external benchmarking data and internal risk and strategy information. We clustered closely related issues of importance to stakeholders and to our business success, and ultimately identified four sustainability priorities and 14 core issues for our next SMP as described below. The process also informed the goals and key metrics that will guide us from 2020.

Updated Performance Measures Beyond 2020

| Evolving Our Sustainability Priorities and Core Issues 2020+
| Advancing Resource Stewardship • Energy Management • Total Cost of Ownership • Hazardous Chemicals/Materials • Resources/Substance Supply Vulnerability • Counterfeit Parts Prevention |  |  | Elevating Digital Responsibility • Data Privacy/Protection • Artificial Intelligence • Intellectual Property Protection |  |  | Fostering Workforce Resiliency • Workplace Safety • Inclusion and Equity • Harassment Free Workplace |  |  | Modeling Business Integrity • Anti-Bribery and Corruption • Ethical Business Practices • Safe Products |

Since the timeline for our current set of goals will be completed at the end of 2020, we are reviewing and updating our sustainability strategy, using what we learned while delivering on SMP objectives in the current cycle. This updated core issue model, previewed above, focuses our efforts in the areas that provide the greatest value to our stakeholders and our business. During 2021, we will share the revised goals and key performance indicators (KPIs) that reflect the stakeholder feedback we have received, internal and external trends, and the continued evolution of our business to create value well into the future.
Sustainability Highlights
Lockheed Martin's commitment to addressing business-related climate change risks while delivering stockholder value is best illustrated by our actions, progress, and the associated recognition we have received. In 2019, Lockheed Martin:

• | Published its eighth annual Sustainability Report;

• | Received an “A-” CDP Climate Change score;

• | Was named as an industry leader by Forbes and JUST Capital within the JUST 100, representing America’s most JUST Companies;

30 |

Enterprise Risk and Sustainability

• | Earned, and the only North American prime defense contractor to do so, a ranking on the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index based on best-in-class sustainability practices and environmental, social and economic benchmarks. This is Lockheed Martin's sixth consecutive year on the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index, and its seventh consecutive year on the North American Index; and

• | Received the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star Partner of the Year Award, an award representing organizations that have made outstanding contributions to protecting the environment through superior energy efficiency.

Enterprise Risk and Sustainability Priorities To build integrated assurance, enterprise risk and sustainability are managed jointly in one department and mutually reinforced through the following processes: • Risk Identification: We monitor a dynamic risk universe that includes ESG topics prevalent in voluntary frameworks, mandatory regulations, and internally identified sources. • Risk Assessment: We prioritize and evaluate assumptions from a diverse set of risk topics that are relevant to strategic and operational objectives. This includes examining environmental and social factors applicable to risk topics in our business. • Risk Controls and Mitigation: Through the Risk Audit Strategy Board (a periodic, rigorous examination of the intersection between our Enterprise Risk heat map index and our internal audit plan) we mitigate risk related to several ESG factors, and we track, measure and report our performance for greater transparency. This process also informs how we evaluate the effectiveness of controls for risk elements identified through our enterprise risk assessments, corporate policies and internal audits. These linkages extend to operational elements of our business. Our Employee Wellbeing core issue emphasizes talent recruitment and talent development, two factors essential to identifying critical skills and helping employees reach their full potential. In alignment with our Information Security core issue, we educate and direct suppliers to resources to strengthen their abilities to counter data security and privacy threats, which are integral to our buying decisions. We teach small and disadvantaged businesses how to increase operational efficiency and manage ethics and sustainability impacts as stressed in our Business Integrity core issue.

Enterprise Risk Management Highlights
A prominent oversight responsibility of the Board concerns management of corporate risk-taking to achieve strategic objectives and monitoring of risk mitigation effectiveness. The Audit Committee reviews the state of enterprise risk governance; assessments of risks that may impact achievement of strategy and business objectives; risk disclosures and reporting; and management evaluations of risk mitigation performance. Other Board committees also supervise management's execution of additional subject-specific risk elements relevant to their responsibilities, such as compliance with laws and regulations, cybersecurity and ethical business conduct.

Risk Governance

Board Committee | Risk Mitigation Purview
Audit | Financial and compliance risks and risk identification process; risks related to business strategy and identified enterprise risk
Classified Business and Security | Classified programs and security of personnel, facilities and data-related risks including classified cybersecurity
Nominating and Corporate Governance | Board composition, corporate governance, employee safety and health, ethical conduct, culture, human capital and environmental risks
Compensation | Talent, workforce and incentive compensation risks

Our enterprise risk management process involves providing the Board with regular, periodic reports on:

• | The categories of risks the Corporation faces, including significant drivers to meeting strategic objectives or compliance standards;

• | A clear framework for accountability that illustrates mitigating measures and action plans, and how the Chairman and CEO and the executive leadership team are involved in reviewing and executing such activities;

• | The ways in which risks are measured on an enterprise basis, the setting of aggregate and subject-specific risk indicators, and related policies and procedures in place to control risks; and

• | The analysis underpinning prioritizations of key risks and the tools for risk observation to ensure that new or shifting risks are readily identified and addressed by management. This includes understanding risks inherent in the Corporation’s strategic plans, risks arising from the competitive landscape and the potential for technology and other ESG developments to impact profitability and prospects for sustainable, long-term value creation.

Environmental Stewardship

Our Go Green initiative promotes environmental stewardship through reductions in carbon, energy, water, and waste, which yields operational efficiency and cost avoidance. To drive improvement, we emphasize energy efficiency efforts, water reduction projects, and waste minimization activities at our facilities. Our Go Green reductions for water, carbon emissions, and facility energy are measured against 2010 levels and waste is measured against a 2014 level. Reductions in energy and water use slowed in 2019 due to an increase in production activity.

2020 GOALS (Against Baseline) |  | REDUCE WATER |  | REDUCE CARBON |  | REDUCE FACILITY |  | REDUCE TOTAL |  |  | ENERGY AND WATER COST AVOIDANCE $32M IN 2019 COMPARED T0 2010

Next Gen Go Green Goals
We recently established our fourth generation of Go Green goals, to reduce carbon emissions to outperform the science-based target methodology to prevent 1.5°C warming through 2030 by cutting scope 1 and 2 emissions by 70% compared to 2015 levels. Setting this target will help to ensure a lean and efficient infrastructure, process and operations that will result in lowering our carbon emissions from our operations and allow us to adapt to a changing business and regulatory environment.

Audit Matters

Proposal 2 | Ratification of Appointment of Independent Auditors |
• Independent accounting firm with the breadth of knowledge, support and expertise of its national office. • Significant industry and government contracting expertise. • Periodic mandated rotation of the audit firm’s lead engagement partner. | The Board unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young as independent auditors for 2020.

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, 2020. 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 34.
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 regularly meets with Ernst & Young without management present.
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;

• | the length of time Ernst & Young has been engaged;

• | external data regarding Ernst & Young’s audit quality and performance, including recent Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) 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.

www.lockheedmartin.com | 2020 Proxy Statement | 33

Audit Matters
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, and such representatives will be available to respond to appropriate questions and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire.
Pre-Approval of Independent Auditors Services
The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit, audit-related, tax and other services performed by the independent auditors. The Audit Committee pre-approves specific categories of services up to pre-established fee thresholds. Unless the type of service has previously been pre-approved, the Audit Committee must approve that specific service before the independent auditors may perform such service. 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 committee member must report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.
Fees Paid to Independent Auditors

Audit Matters
Audit Committee Report
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Corporation’s accounting, auditing and financial reporting process, financial risk assessment and management process and for monitoring compliance with certain regulatory and compliance matters, on behalf of the Board of Directors.
The Corporation’s management is responsible for preparing the quarterly and annual consolidated financial statements, the financial reporting process, and maintaining and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures and a system of internal control over financial reporting.
In addition to its oversight of the Corporation’s internal audit organization, the Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, oversight and termination of the Corporation’s independent auditors, 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 control over financial reporting and expressing an opinion on the material 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 consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management and Ernst & Young the Corporation’s audited consolidated financial statements, 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 by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) and the SEC. Additionally, the Audit Committee received and reviewed the written disclosures and letter from Ernst & Young required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding Ernst & Young's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with Ernst & Young its independence.
Based on the Audit Committee’s reviews and discussions described in this report, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 be included in Lockheed Martin Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2019 for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee also reappointed Ernst & Young to serve as the Corporation’s independent auditors for 2020, and requested that this appointment be submitted to the Corporation’s stockholders for ratification at the Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors approved the Audit Committee’s recommendations.

Executive Compensation

Proposal 3 | Advisory Vote to Approve the Compensation of Our NEOs (Say-on-Pay) |
• Pay-for-performance alignment is built into the design of our annual and long-term incentive programs. • Executive compensation targets are set by reference to 50 th percentile of peers with actual payouts dependent on performance outcomes. • More than 94% of votes cast at the 2019 annual meeting approved Say-on-Pay and we continue to engage with our stockholders on an on-going basis. | The Board unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers.

As required by Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we ask our stockholders to vote annually to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation of our named executive officers (NEOs) as described in detail in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis (CD&A) and the accompanying tables in the Executive Compensation section of this Proxy Statement. This vote is commonly known as Say-on-Pay.
Stockholders should review the entire Proxy Statement and, in particular, the CD&A beginning on page 37 and the Executive Compensation Tables beginning on page 56, for information on our executive compensation programs and other important items.
We believe that the information provided in this Proxy Statement demonstrates that our executive compensation programs are designed to link pay to performance. Accordingly, the Board recommends that stockholders approve the compensation of our NEOs by approving the following Say-on-Pay resolution:
RESOLVED, that the stockholders of Lockheed Martin Corporation approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers identified in the “Summary Compensation Table,” as disclosed in the Lockheed Martin Corporation 2020 Proxy Statement pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and the accompanying footnotes and narratives. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather our overall compensation policies and procedures related to the NEOs. Although the results of the Say-on-Pay vote do not bind the Corporation, the Board will, as it does each year, continue to review the results carefully and plans to continue to seek the views of our stockholders throughout the year.
Compensation Committee Report
The Management Development and Compensation Committee makes recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning the compensation of the Corporation’s NEOs. We have reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis that will be included in the Corporation’s Schedule 14A Proxy Statement, filed pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on that review and discussion, we recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Proxy Statement. The Board approved our recommendation.

2019 Say-on-Pay Vote
At our 2019 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 topics that matter most to them as they relate to executive compensation. We sought the views of our stockholders with respect to our existing policies and practices, but also regarding our equity grant practices and provisions in our new equity plan proposed for stockholders' approval this year. (Please see “Effective Stockholder Engagement” on page 25 for more specific details). Investors we engaged with during 2019 reacted positively to our pay governance and executive compensation programs. We consider the input of our stockholders, along with emerging best practices, to ensure alignment with our executive pay programs. We welcome feedback regarding our executive compensation programs and will continue to engage with our stockholders in 2020.

Executive Summary
Our 2019 Performance

Record Sales of $59.8B |  |  | Record Segment Operating Profit* of $6.6B |  |  | Record Backlog level of $144B |  |  | Record Earnings per Share of $21.95 |

Lockheed Martin continued to exhibit strong growth across its diverse portfolio, as manifested in its 2019 financial and operational results. In 2019, the Corporation achieved records for sales, segment operating profit*, backlog and earnings per share. Lockheed Martin’s net sales in 2019 were $59.8 billion versus $53.8 billion in 2018, an increase of 11% and a record-setting amount for the Corporation. We generated cash from operations of $7.3 billion in 2019 after $1.0 billion of discretionary pension contributions. In addition, we ended 2019 with orders of $72.6 billion, driving a record backlog of $144 billion. Our net earnings in 2019 were $6.2 billion, or $21.95 per share, which was also a record. Our segment operating profit* for 2019 was $6.6 billion, up 12 percent versus 2018. Operationally, during 2019, we delivered 134 F-35s, exceeding the joint government and industry delivery target of 131 aircraft for the year. This milestone represents a 47% increase over 2018 and a nearly 200% production increase over 2016. It is the third consecutive year we have met our annual delivery target. The F-35 program also celebrated several international milestones, as Japan, the United Kingdom, and Norway all declared Initial Operational Capability for their respective F-35s. The Corporation also had strategic and operational accomplishments across our other business segments in 2019. In March, we received a $1.1 billion contract for our highly successful Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System - a system that helps our service members address threats quickly and reduce collateral damage on the battlefield. Also in March, we celebrated the first flight of the SB>1 DEFIANT helicopter. We also received a $1.3 billion contract from the U.S. Navy to build 12 CH-53K King Stallions. During 2019, we celebrated four successful launches, including the launch of the fifth Advanced Extremely High Frequency satellite. Strategically, Lockheed Martin continued to develop critical emerging technologies with progress in areas of hypersonics and directed energy and continued to focus on attracting and retaining the workforce needed for the future. We also continued our efforts to return cash to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases. During 2019, we returned $3.8 billion of cash from operations to our stockholders, with $1.2 billion in share repurchases and $2.6 billion paid in cash dividends. Lockheed Martin delivered strong one-, three- and five-year total stockholder returns both on an absolute and relative basis, reflecting these financial, strategic and operational accomplishments. * See Appendix B for an explanation of Non-GAAP terms. |  | 1-Year TSR

Executive Compensation
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’ interests and to pay for performance. The majority of our NEOs’ pay is variable and contingent on performance with over two-thirds in the form of long-term incentives (LTI). To ensure pay is competitive with market practices, we conduct a benchmarking analysis each year when establishing base salary, annual incentive target opportunities and LTI target opportunities. Each element of compensation is evaluated against the 50 th percentile, which we refer to as “market rate,” of our comparator group of companies, as shown on page 41. 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 goals under our incentive programs, the 2019 annual incentive program paid out at 200% of target and the 2017-2019 LTIP paid out at 171.9% of target for all NEOs.
2019 CEO Compensation

2019 CEO Target Pay Mix. We believe that the compensation opportunities of our CEO should be predominantly variable, and the variable elements of the compensation package should tie to the Corporation’s long-term success and the achievement of sustainable long-term total returns to our stockholders. As shown in the chart to the right, a significant portion of our CEO’s target compensation is variable and in the form of LTI with more than half of total target pay in the form of equity-based incentives. Base Salary. In 2019, Ms. Hewson’s base salary was set at $1,798,000. 2019 Annual Incentive. Ms. Hewson’s target annual incentive amount for 2019 was 175% of salary or $3,146,500. 2019-2021 Long-Term Incentives. In 2019, Ms. Hewson was granted an LTI award of approximately $14.3 million, which was allocated 50% in Performance Stock 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 at the end of the three-year vesting period relative to the three-year performance goals that were established in the beginning of 2019. Benefit and Retirement Plans. Ms. Hewson is eligible for benefit and retirement programs, similar to other salaried 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. The compensation element of the pension calculation was frozen effective January 1, 2016, so only the service element of the pension calculation resulted in an increase in Ms. Hewson’s accrued pension benefit during 2019. Effective January 1, 2020, the pension benefit is fully frozen. The change in pension value for Ms. Hewson reported in the Summary Compensation Table for 2019 was also significantly affected by the change in the discount rate, as well as changes in life expectancy (longevity) assumptions. |  | CEO Target Opportunity Mix *
| * Fixed vs. variable and cash vs. equity components are designated in the Core Compensation Elements table on page 43. We consider base salary and annual incentives as short-term pay and PSUs, LTIP, and RSUs as long-term pay. Cash represents base salary, annual incentive target and LTIP target. We do not include retirement or other compensation components in the chart.

Executive Compensation
How We Determine Market Rate Compensation
For each of the principal elements of executive compensation, we determine the “market rate” as the size-adjusted 50 th percentile of our comparator group of companies. Size-adjusted market rates are calculated for us by Aon, using revenue 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.
The Compensation Committee considers the current market data in combination with other internal factors when setting individual annual target pay levels, such as changes to market data year-over-year, internal pay equity, individual performance, job scope and criticality to the Corporation. 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 Purposes
To establish the market rate for each of the principal elements of compensation, we select a group of publicly-traded companies (our comparator group). 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. 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:

• | similarity in size (a high correlative factor in determining pay), generally based on annual revenues;

• | participation in the Aon executive compensation survey (our primary source for data in making market comparisons), which enables us to obtain reliable data for market comparisons that otherwise may not be publicly available;

• | industrial companies and, to the extent possible, companies that compete in the aerospace and defense industry, which enables comparison with companies that face similar overall labor costs, economic factors and market fluctuations;

• | companies with which we compete for executive talent, as competitive conditions and the limited number of comparably-sized aerospace and defense companies require us to recruit outside of the core aerospace and defense companies for a broad range of disciplines (e.g., finance, human resources, legal, supply chain management) to obtain individuals with a broad range of skills that are transferable across industries; and

• | companies with comparable executive officer positions or management structures, which enables more appropriate compensation comparisons.

We do not consider market capitalization in selecting our comparator group because market capitalization can change quickly as industries and companies go in and out of favor as investments and companies restructure.
The data presented to and considered by the Compensation Committee regarding the level of compensation at the Corporation’s comparator group of peer companies was developed from the proprietary results of the Aon executive compensation survey, subject to review by Meridian. All of the 2019 comparator group companies participated in the Aon survey. Our 2019 revenues represented the 53 rd percentile of the comparator group, excluding DowDuPont Inc., which split into multiple separate entities during 2019.
In light of the split of DowDuPont Inc. and the announced merger transaction between Raytheon Company and United Technologies Corporation during 2019, the Compensation Committee will review, as it does each year, and may approve changes to the comparator group in 2020.

Executive Compensation
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 2019. 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 compensati on 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 independent Board committee • I ncentive goals set at the Enterprise or business segment level | • Moderate severance program that includes post-employment restrictive covenants • Institutional focus on ethical behavior • Annual risk assessment • Compensation Committee oversight of equity burn rate and dilution • Enhanced clawback policy

With the assistance of a risk assessment conducted by Meridian on an annual basis, the Compensation Committee concluded that risks arising from our executive and broad-based incentive compensation programs are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation.

2019 Named Executive Officers’ Compensation
2019 Target Compensation
Our N EOs’ target compensation for 2019 is shown below, which is closely aligned to the market rate. When determining pay for our NEOs, t he Compensation Committee considers the current market data in combination with other internal factors when setting annual target pay levels, such as changes to market data year-over-year, internal pay equity, individual performance, job scope and criticality to the Corporation. Effective February 11, 2019, Mr. Possenriede was appointed Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and in connection with his promotion from a Vice President role, the Compensation Committee approved an increase to his annual incentive target from 70% to 105% of his base salary.

Executive Compensation
Base Salary
Base salaries are reviewed and increased annually taking into account the market rate (50 th percentile), 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.
2019 Annual Incentive
As was the case for 2018, the 2019 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 based on business segment and individual performance for any officer elected by the Board, including the NE Os.
Under the terms of our annual incentive plan, the CEO’s bonus and the bonus for each of the other NEOs cannot exceed 0.3% and 0.2%, respectively, of Cash from Operations. Annual incentive payouts range from 0% to 200% of target.
2019 Annual Incentive Goals and Results
At its February 2019 meeting, the Compensation Committee approved Enterprise-wide objectives for 2019 reflecting financial, 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, NEOs and all other officers elected by the Board.
Financial Assessment (70% Weight). The financial targets under the annual incentive plan align with the guidance we disclosed publicly at the beginning of 2019. 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 2019 guidance we provided publicly to investors in January 2019 and represent the target level (100% performance) for each of these metrics. For the purposes of assessing performance under our annual incentive program, Cash from Operations results are adjusted for unplanned pension contributions, so that the impact on incentive compensation is not a factor in the decision to make the additional pension contribution. We established maximum (200% performance) and threshold payout levels (50% performance) 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 2019.

Strategic & Operational Assessment (30% Weight). Our strategic and operational performance assessments are evaluated differently than financial performance assessments. For the 2019 performance year, a broad set of goals were established for our strategic and operational commitments at the beginning of the year, including goals tied to the development of new business, program performance, technological innovation, and executing on sustainability initiatives, such as achievement of pre-established measures and targets related to diversity and talent management. The strategic and operational performance goals are not measured against quantitative performance criteria for each goal, because some are aspirational, cannot be forecasted reliably or are qualitative in nature. When determining the overall payout factor, the Compensation Committee considers both quantitative and qualitative results and applies discretion when evaluating performance in totality. The strategic and operational performance goals and results are set forth below.

2019 Strategic & Operational Goals Summary |  | Assessment Summary Highlights
| Focus Programs Secure key Focus Program wins and achieve Keep Sold Program milestones |  | • Orders of $72.6 billion with a new record backlog at year-end of $144 billion • 100% win rate on key focus program captures • 76% win rate on programs throughout the year
| Mission Success Achieve Mission Success milestones |  | • Continued operational excellence with completion of all targeted Mission Success events • Key program milestones achieved throughout the Corporation in all customer operational domains
| Program Performance Execute programs to achieve customer commitments and increase stockholder value |  | • Exceeded subcontractor performance goals • Returned $3.8 billion of Cash from Operations to our stockholders through dividends and share repurchases

Summary of Annual Incentive Payout Calculations
For 2019, Ms. Hewson's annual incentive target percentage did not change and remained at 175% of her base salary. Mr. Possenriede's annual incentive target was increased from 70% to 105% of his base salary, in connection with his promotion to EVP and CFO effective February 11, 2019. The Compensation Committee approved changes to annual incentive target percentages for other NEOs, aligning with the 2019 market rates (50 th percentile). Our business segment EVPs' targets were set to 105% of their base salaries. The final payout factor and payout amounts for each of our NEOs, as determined by the Board, are shown below:

Executive Compensation
2019 Long-Term Incentive Compensation
The following summary shows the 2019 LTI compensation mix for the CEO, EVPs and Senior Vice Presidents (SVPs) and principal terms of the awards.

PSUs (distributed in common stock): Performance Measures: Three-year Relative TSR (50%), ROIC (25%) & Performance Cash (25%) Caps: • 200% of target shares • Relative TSR measure capped at 100% if the Corporation’s TSR is negative • Value capped at 400% of stock price on date of grant times shares earned
RSUs (distributed in common stock): Vesting Schedule: RSUs cliff vest 100% three years after the grant date
3-Year LTIP (paid in cash): Performance Measures: Three-year Relative TSR (50%), ROIC (25%) & Performance Cash (25%) Caps: • 200% of target amount • Relative TSR measure capped at 100% if the Corporation’s TSR is negative • Individual payout capped at $10 million

In determining the appropriate level of equity grants for 2019, the Compensation Committee took into consideration the long-term incentive market rate (50 th percentile) along with a variety of other 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 50% weighting assigned to the PSU portion. The number of PSUs granted is determined based on the closing stock price of the Corporation's common stock on the NYSE on the date of grant.
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 as follows: 50% Relative TSR, 25% ROIC and 25% 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 payout factor for 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 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 goals. Participants also accrue dividend equivalents on the shares earned, which are paid in cash following vesting of the underlying shares.

47 |

Executive Compensation
RSU Awards (30% of LTI award)
RSU awards are calculated by multiplying the overall target LTI award value by the 30% weighting assigned to the RSU portion. The number of RSUs granted is determined based on the closing stock price of the Corporation's common stock on the NYSE on the date of grant. Deferred dividend equivalents are accrued during the vesting period and paid in cash following the 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 20% weighting assigned to the LTIP portion.
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 (50% Relative TSR, 25% ROIC and 25% Performance Cash). Payouts can range from 0% to 200% of the applicable target. If TSR is negative at the end of the performance cycle, the payout factor for the Relative TSR measure is capped at 100%. 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 goals.
For the 2019-2021 LTIP grants, any a mount payable to a single participant in excess of $10 million will be forfeited.
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 2019 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, including the S&P Aerospace Index companies and other large publicly traded U.S. Government contractors. Because every industry faces different challenges and opportunities, we believe that comparing our TSR against peers facing a similar business environment is preferred to comparisons outside our industry. Accordingly, the Relative TSR Comparators for the 2019-2021 performance cycle are shown below:

2019-2021 Relative TSR Comparators

Arconic Inc. | Honeywell International Inc. | Science Applications International Corp.
Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation | Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. | Textron Inc.
CACI International Inc. | Leidos Holdings, Inc. | The Boeing Company
General Dynamics Corporation | Northrop Grumman Corporation | TransDigm Group Incorporated
Harris Corporation | Raytheon Company | United Technologies Corporation

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 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 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.

Executive Compensation
Setting Performance Goals for 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 2019-2021 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 2019-2021 targets, which use straight-line interpolation between points. The individual award agreements require pre-specified adjustments 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.

2017-2019 LTIP and PSU Awards
The cash-based LTIP and share-based PSU payouts for the three-year performance period ended December 31, 2019 shown below, were calculated by comparing actual corporate performance for each metric for the period January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019, 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 2017.

2017-2019 PSU Awards
The 2017-2019 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. 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 g rant date fair market value.

2020 Annual Incentive Goals
There were no changes to our annual incentive plan design for the 2020 performance year.
The Compensation Committee approved the key corporate commitments set forth below for purposes of assessing performance in 2020.
2020 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 2020 in our year-end earnings release. These commitments for 20 20 are set forth below.

|  | 2020 Goal

2020 Long-Term Incentive Award Opportunities
For 2020, the LTI award mix is the same as last year and for the CEO, EVPs and SVPs is allocated 50% toward PSUs, 20% toward LTIP and 30% toward RSUs.
The terms and performance measures of the 2020-2022 PSUs and LTIP awards are similar to the 2019-2021 awards (see pages 47-49). The 2020-2022 PSU and LTIP award agreements require specified adjustments to ensure that the ultimate payouts are not impacted to the benefit or detriment of management by specified events, as well as to take into account changes in tax law or interpretation related to amortization for research and experimental expenditures that result in a difference between planned and actual cash tax payments. Raytheon Company was removed from the 2020-2022 Relative TSR Comparators group in light of its announced merger transaction with United Technologies Corporation to form Raytheon Technologies.
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 2019, the Compensation Committee continued to retain Meridian as an independent compensation consultant. In connection with its retention of Meridian, the Compe nsation Committee considered the following factors in assessing Meridian’s independence:

• | Meridian’s services for the Corporation 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 engagement and their immediate family members 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.

At it s February 2020 meeting, the Compensation Committee renewed the engagement of Meridian. At that time, Meridian confirmed the continuing accuracy 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.
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 to executive officers.

• | 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 February of each year. Off-cycle awards may be considered in special circumstances, which may include hiring, retention or acquisition transactions.

I n addition, our equity plans explicitly prohibit repricing of stock options or paying cash for underwater stock o ptions.

www.lockheedmartin.com | 2020 Proxy Statement | 52

Executive Compensation
Clawback and Other Protective Provisions
The Governance Guidelines include a clawback policy, which prior to the 2019 enhancements described below, provided that if the Board of Directors 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.
In February 2019, the Compensation Committee enhanced the clawback to ensure that it has the most appropriate level of discretionary authority and powers to protect the Corporation and its stockholders' interests, in consideration of recent external events involving high level executives of other companies. Following the Compensation Committee’s proactive analysis of the policy, the Compensation Committee added two situations that will allow the Board to claw back incentive compensation paid to an officer: (1) an officer’s intentional misconduct or gross negligence causes severe reputational or financial harm to the Corporation and (2) an officer’s misappropriation of Lockheed Martin Proprietary Information causes, or is intended to cause, severe reputational or financial harm to the Corporation. These additional situations apply to incentive compensation awarded in 2019 and thereafter.
The clawback policy is incorporated into our annual incentive plan and in the award agreements for the long-term incentive awards, covering all variable incentive compensation. There were no events requiring Board consideration of a clawback action during 2019.
In the event the Board recoups incentive compensation under the 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, and compensation awarded under those agreements may be subject to clawback in the event an executive breaches any of the post-employment restrictive covenants.

Executive Compensation
Anti-Hedging and Pledging Policy
Our policies prohibit hedging and pledging of Lockheed Martin stock by all directors, officers and employees. Under our policies, Lockheed Martin directors, officers and employees may not purchase or sell derivative securities based on Lockheed Martin common stock or other Lockheed Martin securities. This policy also prohibits hedging or monetization transactions such as forward-sale contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds, that are designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of equity securities, lock in then-current market gains without the sale of the underlying security, or transactions in which the director or employee may divest aspects of the risks and rewards of ownership. This policy applies to shares of Lockheed Martin common stock (1) that are granted to the employee or director by Lockheed Martin as part of their compensation and (2) held, directly or indirectly, by the employee or director.
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 me mbers of management to maintain an ownership interest in the Corporation based on the following guidelines:

Title | Annual Base Salary Multiple
Chairman, President and CEO | 6 times
Chief Financial Officer | 4 times
Executive Vice Presidents | 3 times
Senior Vice Presidents | 2 times

NE Os 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 othe r deferral plans. Unvested PSUs at target are not counted towards ownership levels. Each of our NEOs has met or 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 pro grams available to our NEOs. Further details are described in footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table on page 56.
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 long-term cash performance incentive compensation. Pension and supplemental pension plans that the NEOs participate in were completely frozen effective January 1, 2020. The change in pension value for Ms. Hewson reported in the Summary Compensation Table for 2019 was significantly affected by the changes in the discount rate, as well as life expectancy (longevity) assumptions.
Perquisites and Security. Perquisites provided to the NEOs include executive physicals, relocation assistance (when applicable) 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 2019, we provided tax assistance for taxable security expenses, business association expenses, relocation-related expenses in accordance with our relocation policies, and travel expenses for a family member accompanying a NEO for a business reason. In addition, we pay an amount estimated to cover the state income tax imposed on employees who became subject to income tax in a state other than their state of residence due to business travel.

www.lockheedmartin.com | 2020 Proxy Statement | 54

Executive Compensation
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 or the executive to travel to the non-resident state. For Ms. Hewson, the total tax assistance amount reported for 2019 included a payment attributable to non-resident state income taxes, including payment associated with long-term incentive awards, which were incurred as a result of her business travels to a state other than her state of residence. In connection with their new positions, Mr. Possenriede and Mr. St. John relocated during 2019 and incurred certain related expenses that were tax-assisted under our relocation policy.
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 identical 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 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
Generally, Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code disallows a publicly held corporation from deducting compensation in excess of $1 million per year that it pays to certain highly compensated employees. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, enacted in 2017, eliminated an exception to this deduction limit for compensation that qualified as performance-based compensation, subject to transition relief for certain existing agreements. We believe that the 2020 payouts of our 2017 LTI awards qualify for the transition relief under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. We do not expect any other outstanding LTI awards to qualify for this transition relief in the future.

Executive Compensation
Stock Awards (Column (e))
Represents the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718 (ASC 718) for RSUs granted in 2019, 2018 and 2017 and PSUs granted in 2019, 2018 and 2017, disregarding potential forfeitures based on service requirements.

| 2019 Aggregate Grant Date Fair Value RSUs | 2019 Aggregate Grant Date Fair Value PSUs
| ($) | ($)
Ms. Hewson | 4,276,976 | 7,098,540
Mr. Possenriede | 1,345,814 | 2,234,071
Mr. Tanner | 1,345,814 | 2,234,071
Mr. Ambrose | 1,173,679 | 1,948,690
Mr. Bennett | 1,173,679 | 1,948,690
Ms. Evans | 1,173,679 | 1,948,690
Mr. St. John | 1,173,679 | 1,948,690

The ASC 718 grant date fair value of one 2019 RSU ($303.59), 2018 RSU ($354.60) and 2017 RSU ($254.51), 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 (50% of the target shares are earned based upon Relative TSR, 25% of the target shares are earned based upon Performance Cash, and 25% of the target shares are earned based upon ROIC).
The grant date fair value of $301.03 for 2019, $420.75 for 2018 and $266.41 for 2017 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 2.86 -year period for 2019, 2.86-year period for 2018 and 2.93-year period for 2017, assuming dividends for each company are reinvested on a continuous basis and a risk-free rate of interest of 2.48% for 2019, 2.38% for 2018 and 1.47% for 2017, and that deferred dividend equivalents accrued on shares earned will be paid in cash upon vesting. The grant date fair value of $303.59 for 2019, $354.60 for 2018 and $254.51 for 2017 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 on the date any shares are issued at the end of the performance period, which may be more or less than the grant date fair value.
The maximum grant date fair values of the 2019 PSU awards, assuming a 200% maximum payout on all three metrics are as follows: Ms. Hewson: $14,197,080; Mr. Possenriede: $4,468,142; Mr. Tanner: $4,468,142; Mr. Ambrose: $3,897,381; Mr. Bennett: $3,897,381; Ms. Evans $3,897,381; and Mr. St. John: $3,897,381.
The maximum grant date fair values of the 2018 PSU awards, assuming a 200% maximum payout on all three metrics are as follows: Ms. Hewson: $12,235,264; Mr. Tanner: $4,500,594; Mr. Ambrose: $3,600,760; Mr. Bennett: $3,600,760; and Mr. St. John: $3,600,760.
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; and Mr. Bennett: $3,350,904.

Executive Compensation
Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation (Column (g))
Includes the amount paid for annual incentive bonuses paid under the Lockheed Martin Management Incentive Compensation Plan (MICP). The Compensation Committee will continue to use discretion to assess performance against objectives established at the beginning of the year. We also report amounts earned under our LTIP cash awards in the three-year period ending on December 31 of the year reported in Column (g) of the table.
The table below shows the respective 2019 annual incentive bonus and amount earned under the 2017-2019 cash LTIP and reported for each NEO:

| 2019 Annual Incentive Payout | 2017-2019 LTIP Payout
| ($) | ($)
Ms. Hewson | 6,293,000 | 4,084,344
Mr. Possenriede | 1,830,800 | 550,080
Mr. Tanner* | 1,516,200 | 1,283,081
Mr. Ambrose | 1,900,500 | 945,450
Mr. Bennett | 1,900,500 | 1,151,730
Ms. Evans | 1,900,500 | 550,080
Mr. St. John | 1,900,500 | 603,197

* | Mr. Tanner's payouts are prorated based on time served during the performance periods.

Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings (Column (h))
Reports the change in the present value of the pension benefit for the NEO for the year reported (for example, from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019) and is not the amount that will be paid to the NEO. The table excludes the negative aggregate change in the present value in 2018 of the NEO's accumulated benefits as follows: Ms. Hewson (-$2,988,049); Mr. Tanner (-$119,223); Mr. Bennett (‑$901,125); and Mr. St. John (-$228,172). This column also reports above-market earnings on compensation that was deferred before 2009 by the NEOs under the Interest Investment Option of our Deferred Management Incentive Compensation Plan as follows: Ms. Hewson $5,259; Mr. Tanner $449; Mr. Ambrose $1,693; Mr. Bennett $54; and Ms. Evans $99. In 2018, this column also reported above-market earnings on compensation that was deferred before 2009 by the NEOs under the Interest Investment Option as follows: Ms. Hewson $68; Mr. Tanner $6; Mr. Ambrose $22; and Mr. Bennett $1. No above-market earnings were reported in 2017. Above-market earnings represent the difference between the interest rate used to calculate earnings under the Interest Investment Option and 120% of the applicable federal long-term rate prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code. The Interest Investment Option was closed to new deferrals and transfers from other investment options effective July 1, 2009. See the 2019 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table for additional information.
The disclosure of the change in present value of the pension benefit is based on the Corporation’s final average compensation formula in its defined benefit plan which multiplies (x) a percentage (1.25% of compensation below the social security wage base and 1.5% above that level) times (y) years of service times (z) 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 2019 and 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 (prior to January 1, 2020), age and compensation (prior to January 1, 2016) will result in an increase in the accrued benefit. With pay no longer a factor, any increase in a NEO’s accrued pension benefit is based on service alone, and, effective January 1, 2020, following the completion of the freeze of our qualified and nonqualified defined benefit pension plans for salaried employees, the accrued benefit was frozen.
The Summary Compensation Table uses the same discount 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 2019, 2018 and 2017 used a discount rate of 3.250%, 4.250% and 3.625%, respectively. In October 2019, the Society of Actuaries published revised longevity assumptions that refined its prior studies. We used the revised assumptions in our December 31, 2019 re-measurement of benefit obligation, reflecting a longevity basis specific to the demographics of the underlying population (e.g., the nature of the work), versus the prior basis which was blended for all types of work.

Executive Compensation
The Change in Pension Value for Ms. Hewson and the other NEOs reported in Column (h) for 2019 was primarily related to a change in the discount rate and life expectancy (longevity) assumptions as reflected in the table below.

All Other Compensation (Column (i))
Perquisites and other personal benefits provided to the NEOs in 2019 included: security; relocation benefits (when applicable); annual executive physicals; business association expenses; home office support; use of corporate aircraft for personal travel and other related expenses; travel and other expenses for a family member accompanying the NEO while on business travel; retirement gifts; and promotional items. 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 2019 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 $272,240; (ii) personal use of the corporate aircraft for Ms. Hewson $296,313; Mr. Possenriede $98,606; Mr. Ambrose $110,253; Mr. Bennett $155,948; Ms. Evans $148,793 and Mr. St. John $98,678; and (iii) relocation expenses for Mr. Possenriede $392,840 and Mr. St. John $300,330. The incremental cost for use of corporate aircraft for personal travel and as part of relocation benefits was calculated based on the total personal travel flight hours multiplied by the estimated hourly aircraft operating costs for 2019 (including fuel, maintenance, staff travel expenses, catering 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 Nonqualified 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 generally available to all employees. Listed amounts may include contributions made in 2020 to match 2019 executive contributions.

In 2019, the Corporation provided tax assistance on business-related items associated with taxable business association expenses, security expenses, relocation related expenses (when applicable), non-resident state income taxes on business travel and travel expenses for a family member accompanying the NEO while on business travel. For Ms. Hewson, the total tax assistance amount reported for 2019 included a $55,560 payment attributable to her security expenses and a $36,114 payment attributable to non-resident state income taxes, including payment associated with long-term incentive awards, which was incurred as a result of her business travels to a state other than her state of residence. For Mr. Possenriede and Mr. St. John, the total tax assistance amount reported for 2019 included $178,865 and $86,935, respectively, associated with their relocation expenses incurred during 2019 and pursuant to our relocation policy. 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 or the executive to travel to the non-resident state or to be re-located.
Mr. St. John and Mr. Ambrose elected to opt out of the Corporation's employee term life insurance and received a credit of $1,901 and $4,234, respectively, which is included in All Other Compensation.
*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 change in 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. The amounts shown in the separate column are not a substitute for the amounts reported in the Total column.

Estimated Future Payouts Under Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards (Columns (c), (d) and (e))
Includes annual incentive grants (MICP) for 2019 and LTIP grants for the 2019-2021 period ending December 31, 2021.
The MICP measures performance over a one-year period and is described under “2019 Annual Incentive” on page 44. The threshold, or minimum amount payable (assuming an award is earned), is 7% of target while the maximum is 200% of target.

61 |

Executive Compensation
The LTIP award measures performance against three separate metrics described under “2019 Long-Term Incentive Compensation” on page 47. The threshold is the minimum amount payable for a specified level of performance stated in the LTIP award agreement. For the 2019-2021 award, the threshold amount payable 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 August 21, 2019, but prior to the end of the performance period, the LTIP awards are prorated. Following a change in control, the 2019-2021 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.
Estimated Future Payouts Under Equity Incentive Plan Awards (Columns (f), (g) and (h))
The table includes PSU awards for the 2019-2021 period ending December 31, 2021. 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 August 21, 2019, 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 47. If performance falls below the threshold level of performance, no shares would be earned. Assuming any payment is earned, the minimum amount payable under the PSU award is 6.25% of the target shares, the lowest level payable under any of these metrics. The maximum number of shares payable under the PSU is 200% of the number of target shares.
All Other Stock Awards: Number of Shares of Stock (Column (i))
Shows the number of RSUs granted on February 21, 2019. The RSUs vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant or upon death or disability. The 2019 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 August 21, 2019, 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 2019 RSUs and 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 and accrued dividend equivalents required to satisfy the tax withholding. The award is then reduced by the number of shares and accrued dividend equivalents subject to acceleration of vesting for tax withholding.
Grant Date Fair Value of Stock Awards (Column (l))
Represents the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718 for RSUs and PSUs granted in 2019, disregarding potential forfeitures based on service requirements.
The grant date fair value of the 2019 RSU grant is $303.59 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 $301.03 for the Relative TSR portion of the award is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The grant date fair value of $303.59 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.
As described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis on page 37, in determining 2019 awards of RSUs and PSUs, the closing stock price of Lockheed Martin common stock on the NYSE on the date of grant of $304.51 was used, which results in a difference between the amounts described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and the Grant Date Fair Value of the Stock Awards reported in column (l).

2019 Pension Benefits
During 2019, 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 some salaried employees with 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 through December 31, 2019 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. 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 (with the exception of Mr. St. John and Ms. Evans) are eligible for early retirement as of December 31, 2019 under the LMRP.
During 2019, the NEOs also participated in the Lockheed Martin Corporation Consolidated Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan (Supplemental Pension), which is a restorative plan that 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 “2019 Pension Benefits” table below).

www.lockheedmartin.com | 2020 Proxy Statement | 64

Executive Compensation
In July 2014, the Corporation announced that the LMRP would be frozen in two steps. Increases in compensation are no longer taken into account effective January 1, 2016. Increases in service are no longer taken into account effective January 1, 2020. This change in plan structure also carried 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 Corporation contribution of 2% of their base salary 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 increased to 6% beginning in 2020. Employees (none of which are NEOs) hired on or after January 1, 2006 do not participate in the LMRP and began receiving the 6% contribution in 2016.

Plan Name (Column (b))
The 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 under the 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 forms 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 2019 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 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 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 in the “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” table.

Executive Compensation
2019 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
Participants in our tax-qualified defined contribution 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. We also make Corporation contributions in excess of the Internal Revenue Code limitations to the NCAP equal to 2 percent of the NEO’s base salary (increased to 6 percent beginning in 2020). 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 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 defined contribution 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) and 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, however, as was the case in 2018 and 2019, minimal above-market amounts may be reported for the pre-July 1, 2009, deferrals. 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.
This table reports compensation earned by the NEOs and deferred under NQSSP, NCAP and DMICP. The NQSSP is a nonqualified defined contribution plan with a match on a portion of the salary deferral. The NCAP is a nonqualified defined contribution excess plan with Corporation contributions. The DMICP is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan through which participants may defer two types of compensation:

• | Annual incentive bonus (DMICP (Bonus)).

• | Amounts payable under our LTIP program (DMICP (LTIP)).

(2) | See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” for discussion of annual incentive bonus payment calculation.

(3) | See “2019 Pension Benefits” table for present value of accumulated benefit.

(4) | See “Aggregate Balance at Last FYE” column in “2019 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” table for amounts payable.

The following table quantifies the payments under our executive compensation programs in RSU, LTIP and PSU awards and the lump sum payable under the Supplemental Pension that would be made for each NEO (other than Mr. Tanner) assuming a termination event occurred on December 31, 2019. Payments under other plans do not change as a result of the termination event, and quantification of those payments is found elsewhere in this Proxy Statement; benefits under plans available generally to salaried employees also are not included. The table shows amounts that would actually be paid on or shortly after December 31, 2019 on account of the trigger event. Amounts that are contingent upon future performance, continued vesting or already earned as of December 31, 2019 are described and quantified in the footnotes following the table. Award agreements for the NEOs contain clawback provisions and post-employment restrictive covenants and to receive a supplemental severance benefit, an executive must execute a release of claims and an agreement containing two-year post-employment non-compete and non-solicitation covenants.

Executive Compensation
Termination/Resignation

(1) | Resignation by executives who are eligible for retirement, for purposes of this table, is treated as retirement. All NEOs, except Mr. St. John and Ms. Evans, were eligible for retirement as of December 31, 2019.

Supplemental Pension

(2) | The Supplemental Pension lump sum value was calculated using plan assumptions and age of the executive as of December 31, 2019. Payments under the Supplemental Pension do not commence prior to age 55, except in the case of a change in control. The Supplemental Pension assumptions in effect for December 31, 2019, are a 4.00 percent discount rate (1.25 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 (except the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality with sex distinction is used for benefits accrued prior to 2005, and this table is used for benefits accrued 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 “2019 Pension Benefits” or “Summary Compensation” tables or for financial reporting.

Long-Term Incentive Performance Awards

(3) | The table shows an amount payable in the event of a change in control trigger event for the 2018-2020 and 2019-2021 LTIP performance periods. For a trigger event based upon death, disability, retirement (or resignation after satisfying the requirements for retirement), layoff or divestiture on December 31, 2019, amounts (if any) for the 2018-2020 and 2019-2021 LTIP performance periods would not be payable until after the end of the performance period. The estimated prorated amounts payable for the 2018-2020 performance cycle based on performance through December 31, 2019 are: Ms. Hewson: $3,124,413; Mr. Possenriede: $383,051; Mr. Ambrose: $919,320; Mr. Bennett: $919,320; Ms. Evans: $485,197; and Mr. St. John: $919,320. The estimated prorated amounts payable for the 2019-2021 performance cycle based on performance through December 31, 2019 are: Ms. Hewson: $1,325,830; Mr. Possenriede: $417,219; Mr. Ambrose: $363,908; Mr. Bennett: $363,908; Ms. Evans: $363,908; and Mr. St. John: $363,908. The table does not include amounts for the 2017-2019 performance cycle as these amounts are reported in the "Summary Compensation Table" (see notes to column (g)).

Restricted Stock Units

(4) | All 2017, 2018 and 2019 RSUs would continue to vest for retirement or layoff occurring on December 31, 2019, and would not become payable until January 2020, February 2021 and February 2022, respectively, and are not included in the table. For a change in 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, 2019 ($389.38) plus deferred dividend equivalents that accrued. The amounts for retirement or layoff on December 31, 2019 are not payable until the end of the respective vesting periods (January 2020, February 2021 and February 2022 for the 2017, 2018 and 2019 RSUs, respectively) but would have the same value on December 31, 2019 as the amounts shown for immediate payment on account of death, disability and divestiture. If a NEO is retirement-eligible, then in the case of a divestiture occurring on December 31, 2019, the RSUs will continue to vest and are treated as a retirement.

Performance Stock Units

(5) | The table shows an amount payable in the event of a change in control trigger event for the 2017-2019, 2018-2020 and 2019-2021 performance periods. The amount shown for the PSUs upon a change in control is the target level of the shares valued using the closing price of our stock on December 31, 2019 ($389.38) plus deferred dividend equivalents that accrued. The table assumes the double trigger occurred. For a trigger event based upon death, disability, retirement (or resignation after satisfying the requirements for retirement), layoff or divestiture on December 31, 2019, amounts (if any) for the 2017-2019, 2018-2020 and 2019-2021 PSU performance periods would be paid on a prorated basis following the end of the applicable performance period. The payments estimated to be paid on a non-prorated basis following the end of the performance cycle using the December 31, 2019 stock price are reported for the 2017-2019 PSU performance cycle in column (h) of the "Outstanding Equity Awards at 2019 Fiscal Year-End Table" and for 2018-2020 and 2019-2021 in column (j) of that table. The prorated amounts for a trigger event occurring on December 31, 2019 plus deferred dividend equivalents that accrued are for each cycle: (i) 2017-2019 cycle: Ms. Hewson: $15,877,606; Mr. Possenriede: $214,059; Mr. Ambrose: $3,676,261; Mr. Bennett: $4,478,257; Ms. Evans: $214,059; and Mr. St. John: $235,589; and (ii) 2018-2020 cycle: Ms. Hewson: $7,684,362; Mr. Possenriede: $95,546; Mr. Ambrose: $2,261,398; Mr. Bennett: $2,261,398; Ms. Evans: $119,128; and Mr. St. John: $2,261,398; and (iii) 2019-2021 cycle: Ms. Hewson: $3,727,243; Mr. Possenriede: $1,173,229; Mr. Ambrose: $1,023,438; Mr. Bennett: $1,023,438; Ms. Evans: $1,023,438; and Mr. St. John: $1,023,438. The prorated amounts are based on the stock price and estimated performance as of December 31, 2019.

Executive Severance

(6) | The total amounts projected for severance payments due to layoff are based on the plan (as amended) approved by the Board in 2008. It includes payment for one year of salary (2.99 years for Ms. Hewson) and one year of target annual incentive (2.99 for Ms. Hewson), estimated costs for benefits continuation for one year, outplacement services and relocation assistance (if required under the plan terms).

Executive Compensation
CEO Pay Ratio
As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, the Corporation must annually disclose in its proxy statement the median of the annual total compensation of all of its employees (excluding the CEO), the annual total compensation of its CEO, and the ratio of the CEO compensation to the employee median compensation. The ratio of CEO pay to the pay of the Corporation’s median employee for fiscal year 2019 is 200 to one.
Lockheed Martin employs approximately 110,000 employees that are, in large part, highly-skilled professionals located primarily in the United States, but also represented in numerous other countries. For purposes of the fiscal year 2019 CEO pay ratio set forth above, we used the same median employee identified with respect to our fiscal year 2018 CEO pay ratio, because there has not been a change in our employee population or employee compensation arrangements that we believe would significantly change the pay ratio disclosure.
The median employee was determined by:

• | calculating the total annual cash compensation (base salary plus annual incentive) of all employees except the CEO as of December 31, 2018, and then sorting those employees from highest to lowest; and

• | determining the median employee from that list.

The total annual compensation for our CEO for fiscal year 2019 was $30.9M, as set forth in column (j) in the “Summary Compensation Table” on page 56. The total annual compensation for the median employee for fiscal year 2019 was $154,883, encompassing base salary, overtime, incentives/recognition awards, change in pension value, company contributions to defined contribution plans, and company-paid life insurance premiums. The annual total compensation of the median employee was determined in the same manner as the total compensation shown for our CEO and included a change in pension value of $40,700.

Proposal 4 | Management Proposal to Approve the Lockheed Martin Corporation 2020 Incentive Performance Award Plan |
• Independent oversight of the 2020 IPAP by the Compensation Committee. • Prudent use of equity as manifested in low dilution and historical burn rate. • No payment of dividends or dividend equivalents on unvested awards. | The Board unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the approval of the 2020 IPAP.

The longstanding compensation philosophy of our Board of Directors has 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. The principal long-term incentive compensation plan currently used by the Board to accomplish these objectives is the Lockheed Martin Corporation 2011 Incentive Performance Award Plan (the 2011 IPAP). Pursuant to its terms, however, no awards can be made under the 2011 IPAP after April 27, 2021.
To provide for the continuation of the Corporation's executive long-term incentive compensation program beyond the expiration of the 2011 IPAP, the Board has approved a new incentive performance award plan and is presenting this plan to the stockholders for adoption and approval at the Annual Meeting. If the Lockheed Martin Corporation 2020 Incentive Performance Award Plan (the 2020 IPAP) is approved by the stockholders, no further incentive awards will be made under the 2011 IPAP. Because the 2020 IPAP will not be effective unless and until it is approved by stockholders, no awards under the 2020 IPAP have been granted to date or will be effective until the 2020 IPAP is approved by stockholders.
The principal features of the 2020 IPAP are summarized below. A copy of the 2020 IPAP is included in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement and the following description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the 2020 IPAP.
Proposed 2020 IPAP Share Reserve
We are requesting stockholders authorize a maximum of 4,500,000 new shares under the 2020 IPAP. These new shares will be in addition to the shares available for grant under the 2011 IPAP as of the date of stockholder approval (there were 3,367,250 shares available under the 2011 IPAP as of February 28, 2020), plus any forfeitures that occur under the 2011 IPAP following the date of stockholder approval. Based on our current expectations of our business and workforce needs, we expect this reserve to provide us with the ability to appropriately and competitively incentivize and align the long-term interests of our employees with those of our stockholders for a number of years.
We believe that the dilutive effect of the new share request is moderate and in line with stockholder interests. Using data as of February 28, 2020 and assuming stockholder approval of this proposal, we calculate a dilution level of 3.69 percent by dividing the number of shares subject to existing awards or available for future grants under our plans (including the 2020 IPAP) by our fully diluted shares outstanding as follows.
As of February 28, 2020:

Shares subject to outstanding option awards* |  |  | 528,563
Shares subject to outstanding restricted stock unit (RSU) awards |  |  | 1,437,632
Shares subject to outstanding performance stock unit (PSU) awards (at maximum)** |  |  | 581,264
Available for future grant under 2011 IPAP |  |  | 3,367,250
Available for future grant under Lockheed Martin Corporation Amended and Restated Directors Equity Plan |  |  | 395,424
New shares under 2020 IPAP |  |  | 4,500,000
Sum of above |  |  | 10,810,133
Common shares outstanding |  |  | 281,712,990
Fully diluted shares outstanding |  |  | 292,523,123

* | Weighted average remaining contractual life is approximately 1.7 years for stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $81.55, as of February 28, 2020. No options have been granted to employees since 2012.

** | At target, 290,632 shares subject to outstanding PSU awards under the 2011 IPAP.

Proposal 4: Approval of 2020 Incentive Performance Award Plan
We also monitor share usage by reviewing the number of shares subject to grant on an annual basis. This metric is referred to as a company’s “burn rate” and shows how rapidly a company is depleting its shares reserved for equity compensation. It is commonly defined as the number of shares granted under the company’s equity incentive plans in a given fiscal year divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding during that fiscal year.
The average burn rate for the Corporation across the 2017, 2018 and 2019 fiscal years is 0.21 percent, based on the following:

Burn Rate (number of shares in thousands) | 2017 |  |  |  |  | 2018 |  |  |  |  | 2019
Options Granted* | 0 |  |  |  |  | 0 |  |  |  |  | 0
RSUs Granted | 519 |  |  |  |  | 406 |  |  |  |  | 581
PSUs Granted (at target)** | 119 |  |  |  |  | 91 |  |  |  |  | 130
Total Shares Granted | 638 |  |  |  |  | 497 |  |  |  |  | 711
Weighted Average Shares Outstanding (as of 12/31) | 290,600 |  |  |  |  | 286,800 |  |  |  | 283,800
Burn Rate (Shares Granted ÷ Shares Outstanding) | 0.22 | % |  |  |  | 0.17 | % |  |  |  | 0.25%

* | No options have been granted to employees since 2012.

** | The number of PSUs granted at maximum is 200% of target. Please see page 49 for 2017-2019 PSU performance results and associated payouts.

Highlights of the 2020 IPAP
Administration by Independent Committee of Board. The 2020 IPAP is administered by the Compensation Committee, whose members are each independent under NYSE listing standards and satisfy the disinterested administration requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act).
Limit on Shares Authorized. The 2020 IPAP limits the number of shares that may be subject to awards payable in shares of our stock to 4,500,000, plus the number of shares remaining for future grants under the 2011 IPAP as of the date of stockholder approval and the amount of any shares subject to awards outstanding under the 2011 IPAP that thereafter are unexercised, unconverted or undistributed as a result of termination, expiration or forfeiture of an award.
No Backdating Permitted. Awards must reflect a date of grant that is the same day as the Compensation Committee approves the award, or a later day as specified by the Compensation Committee.
No Liberal Share Recycling Provisions. For purposes of the aggregate share limit, there is no “recycling” of shares (i) tendered for payment of the option exercise price, (ii) withheld for the payment of taxes, or (iii) repurchased using the proceeds from option exercises. In addition, in the case of stock appreciation rights (SARs), the full number of shares subject to the SARs are counted against the aggregate share limit regardless of the number of shares actually issued upon exercise.
One Year Minimum Vesting Requirement. The minimum vesting period for any award, including a portion or installment of an award, under the 2020 IPAP is one year. However, awards granted in connection with business acquisitions and up to 5 percent of the shares authorized under the 2020 IPAP are exempt from the one-year minimum vesting requirement.
No Current Payment of Dividends or Dividend Equivalents on Restricted Stock or Stock Units. Dividends paid on restricted stock and dividend equivalents that accrue on stock units (including RSUs and PSUs) are not payable to the holder of the restricted stock or stock units unless and until the restricted stock or stock units vest.
No Discount Stock Options or SARs. The exercise price of options and the base price of SARs must be at least equal to the fair market value of our shares on the date of grant.
No Repricing or Cashouts of Stock Options. The 2020 IPAP prohibits the repricing of options either by amendment of an outstanding award agreement or through the substitution of a new option award at a lower price.
No Reloading of Stock Options. The 2020 IPAP does not include “reload” features with respect to which option holders who exercise an option with existing shares are granted a “replacement” option for the shares used to pay the exercise price of the initial option.
Material Plan Amendments Require Stockholder Approval. Material amendments are not effective unless they are approved by the Corporation’s stockholders.

Proposal 4: Approval of 2020 Incentive Performance Award Plan
Summary of the 2020 IPAP
Eligibility
Awards may be granted to salaried employees (including officers) of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. The amount and timing of future awards under the 2020 IPAP and the types of awards to be made are subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee and, accordingly, the amounts of any future awards that may be granted to any employee or group of employees are not determinable at this time. No awards have been made that are contingent upon stockholder approval of this proposal. As of February 28, 2020, there were 9 executive officers eligible for awards under the 2020 IPAP and the Corporation and its subsidiaries employed approximately 81,900 employees eligible to participate in the 2020 IPAP. In 2019, approximately 2,100 employees received awards under the 2011 IPAP.
Awards
The 2020 IPAP authorizes awards in the form of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options (“ISOs”), SARs, restricted stock, stock units (including RSUs and PSUs), other stock-based awards or cash-based incentive awards. Awards may be granted singly or in combination with other awards.
We have had an incentive performance compensation program since our formation in 1995. Since then, we have made equity grants in the form of restricted stock awards, nonqualified stock options and stock units, and cash awards in the form of long-term incentive performance awards. The last year in which we granted restricted stock awards was 2004 and the last year in which we granted nonqualified stock options to employees was 2012. We have never granted ISOs or SARs.
Stock Options: Stock options are rights to purchase a specified number of shares of our common stock at an exercise price of not less than 100 percent of the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. The maximum term of a stock option award is 10 years after the date of grant. Stock options that are granted as ISOs are granted with such additional terms as are necessary to satisfy the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for ISOs. Under current law and the 2020 IPAP, the fair market value of the Lockheed Martin common stock for which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000 (measured as of the date of grant). Nonqualified option awards are not limited in this manner.
Stock Appreciation Rights: SARs entitle the recipient to receive, upon surrender of the SAR, an amount (payable in cash and/or stock as determined by the Compensation Committee) equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date the SAR is surrendered over the base price established at the time of grant of the SAR (which cannot be less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant of the SAR), or over the exercise price of a related stock option. SARs may be granted on a stand-alone basis or in relation to a stock option, such that the exercise of either the option or the SAR cancels the recipient’s rights under the tandem award with respect to the number of shares so exercised. The maximum term of a SAR award is 10 years after the date of grant.
Restricted Stock: Restricted stock is Lockheed Martin common stock issued to the recipient, typically for minimal lawful consideration or for labor or services to be performed and subject to risk of forfeiture and restrictions and limitations on transfer, the vesting of which may depend on individual or corporate performance, continued service or other criteria.
Stock Units: A stock unit is an award represented by a bookkeeping entry equal to the fair market value of a share of our stock on the date of grant. Stock units are not outstanding shares of stock and do not entitle a participant to voting or other rights; however, an award of stock units may provide for the crediting of cash or additional stock units based on the value of dividends paid on our stock while the award is outstanding. The vesting of stock units may depend on individual or corporate performance, continued service or other criteria. Stock units may be settled in cash or in shares of our stock as determined by the Compensation Committee. Since the inception of the 2011 IPAP, the Corporation has granted stock units, including stock units in the form of RSUs and PSUs.
Other Stock-Based Awards: Other stock-based awards are stock-based awards that are not covered by the above descriptions but are still payable, denominated, or have value based on the value of shares of Lockheed Martin common stock.
Cash-Based Incentive Awards: The 2020 IPAP provides for the grant of cash-based performance awards with an award cycle of at least one year. These incentive performance awards are not denominated in and do not derive their value from the price of our stock and are payable only in cash.

www.lockheedmartin.com | 2020 Proxy Statement | 76

Proposal 4: Approval of 2020 Incentive Performance Award Plan
Any form of award permitted under the 2020 IPAP may be granted as a performance-based award, which is an award that is to be earned based upon the level of performance of the Corporation, any subsidiaries of the Corporation, or any segments or business units of the Corporation, relative to one or more performance goals and targets pre-established by the Compensation Committee for a performance period of not less than one year. The performance goals will be based on objective performance measures including but not limited to backlog, cash flow, earnings, earnings per share, earnings per share growth, free cash flow per share, orders, percentage of free cash flow to stockholders, return on invested capital, sales, segment operating profit, segment return on invested capital, or total stockholder return. The Compensation Committee has discretion to determine all aspects of a performance-based award, including the size, the performance goals and targets, the thresholds and levels for payment, and the weighting of performance goals if an award has more than one goal. The Compensation Committee will set forth the terms of a performance-based award in an award agreement at the beginning of each performance period, and will have the authority to make equitable adjustments to the performance goals and targets. To the extent necessary to avoid adverse accounting consequences, any adjustments will be specified in the award agreement.
The minimum vesting period for any Award, including a portion or installment of an award, granted under the 2020 IPAP will be one year. However, awards granted in connection with business acquisitions and up to 5 percent of the shares authorized under the 2020 IPAP as of the date of stockholder approval are exempt from the one-year minimum vesting requirement. The maximum term of an award that contemplates exercise or conversion is 10 years after the grant date of the award.
Authorized Shares
The stock that may be issued pursuant to an award under the 2020 IPAP is Lockheed Martin common stock, par value $1.00 per share. The stock issued under the 2020 IPAP is authorized but unissued stock, which may be previously unissued stock or previously issued stock we acquired in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. We intend to register the shares available for issuance under the 2020 IPAP under a Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed with the SEC following approval of the 2020 IPAP by our stockholders. The closing price of our stock as reported by the NYSE on February 28, 2020 was $369.87 per share.
If approved by stockholders, the maximum number of shares of our stock authorized under the 2020 IPAP will be 4,500,000 plus the number of shares available under the 2011 IPAP as of the date of stockholder approval (there were 3,367,250 shares available under the 2011 IPAP as of February 28, 2020) and the amount of any shares subject to awards outstanding under the 2011 IPAP that thereafter are unexercised, unconverted or undistributed as a result of termination, expiration or forfeiture. Shares of our stock that were subject to awards outstanding under the 2011 IPAP will be added to the shares available for grants under the 2020 IPAP on the same basis as they would have been available had they originally been awarded under the 2020 IPAP.
Any unexercised, unconverted or undistributed portion of any expired, terminated or forfeited award, or alternative form of consideration under a SAR or stock unit award under the 2020 IPAP that is not paid in connection with the settlement of any portion of an award, will again be available for award under the 2020 IPAP, whether or not the participant has received or been credited with the benefits of ownership (such as dividends, dividend equivalents or voting rights) during the period in which the participant’s ownership was restricted or otherwise not vested. In the case of SARs that are paid in stock, the full number of shares subject to the SARs at the date of grant are counted against the aggregate share limit regardless of the number of shares actually issued to settle the award. Any shares withheld to satisfy a withholding obligation of a participant also are counted against the aggregate share limit.
Individual Participant Award Limits
The maximum annual limits on awards to any one participant are as follows:
Share-Based Awards: The maximum number of shares of stock issuable under the 2020 IPAP for options, SARs payable in shares, restricted stock, stock units payable in shares, or other stock-based awards during any calendar year to any participant is 1,000,000.
Cash-Based Awards: The aggregate maximum amount of compensation payable to any participant under all cash-based awards granted under the 2020 IPAP during any calendar year is $10,000,000.

Proposal 4: Approval of 2020 Incentive Performance Award Plan
Other 2020 IPAP Features
Award Agreement Provisions
Each award under the 2020 IPAP will be 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 stock 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, the applicable performance goals and performance period. The date of grant is the date a resolution granting the award is adopted or a future date specified by the Compensation Committee.
Mandatory Provisions
In the case of restricted stock and stock units, award agreements may not provide for the payment of dividends or dividend equivalents prior to the date on which the restricted stock or stock units vest. Dividends declared on restricted stock or dividend equivalents relating to stock units generally may accrue until such time as vesting occurs, at which time they may be paid to the participants or used to satisfy a tax withholding obligation.
In the case of termination of employment due to layoff, no award agreement may provide that the award will accelerate and vest in full. No award agreement may provide that an award will vest in any portion solely upon a change in control of the Corporation pursuant to which the award is assumed by the Corporation or its successor. Finally, except in the case of a change in control of the Corporation, a minimum six-month period must elapse between the date of initial grant of an option or SAR and the sale of the underlying shares of stock.
Award agreements will provide that awards under the 2020 IPAP are not assignable or transferable, except by the laws of descent and distribution. Neither the Compensation Committee nor the Board retain authority to waive the mandatory award agreement provisions of the 2020 IPAP.
Permissive Provisions
Award agreements may contain any other terms not inconsistent with the 2020 IPAP as are necessary, appropriate, or desirable to effect an award, including any provisions describing the treatment of awards in the event of death, disability, layoff, retirement, divestiture or other termination of a participant's employment, any provisions relating to the vesting, exercisability, forfeiture or cancellation of awards, any requirements for continued employment, any other restrictions or conditions (including performance requirements and holding periods) of awards and the method by which the restrictions or conditions lapse, and the effect on an award of a change in control.
Award agreements also may contain a non-competition or non-solicitation clause requiring the forfeiture of an award (whether or not vested) on account of activities deemed by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion to be harmful to the Corporation, including but not limited to employment with a competitor or misuse of our proprietary or confidential information, or the solicitation of our employees.
Award agreements also may include authority to recoup awards in the event of activity that is harmful to the Corporation or for any other reason specified by the Compensation Committee, including those circumstances contemplated by Securities and Exchange Commission rules, regulations or interpretations.
Consideration and Payment; Tax Withholding
Full payment for shares purchased on exercise of any option, along with payment of any required tax withholding, must be made at the time of exercise in cash or, if permitted by the Compensation Committee, in shares of stock having a fair market value equivalent to the exercise price and withholding obligation or pursuant to “cashless exercise” procedures. Any payment required in respect of other awards may be in such amount and in any lawful form of consideration as may be authorized by the Compensation Committee, including future services as an employee. No executive officer may use cashless exercise if that method of payment would be considered a “personal loan” for purposes of Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. At any time on or prior to payment of an award, the Corporation may reduce the amount of the award (including the surrender of dividends or dividend equivalents associated with an award) by an amount sufficient to satisfy any required tax withholding associated with the award, including any FICA tax obligation that occurs during a stock unit's restricted period. The Corporation may also withhold an amount sufficient to satisfy a tax withholding obligation with respect to an award from a different obligation of the Corporation to an employee (e.g., salary).

Proposal 4: Approval of 2020 Incentive Performance Award Plan
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 specific 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 2020 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 (other than single-trigger vesting as noted above) 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 and the definition of a change in control. A change in control generally includes:

• | the consummation of a tender or exchange offer for securities representing 25 percent or more of the combined voting power in the election of directors;

• | the consummation of a merger or certain other business combination or recapitalization or reorganization transactions in which less than 75 percent of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or resulting corporation are owned by our stockholders as of the date on which stockholders vote on the transaction (or the day prior to the event if stockholders are not entitled to vote);

• | subject to certain exceptions, a person becomes the beneficial owner of securities representing 25 percent or more of the combined voting power in the election of directors;

• | if, at any time within two years following a tender offer, merger or certain other business combinations, or a recapitalization or reorganization, or a contested director election, the “incumbent directors” (as defined in the 2020 IPAP) cease to constitute a majority of the authorized members of our Board; and

• | our stockholders approve a plan of liquidation and dissolution of the Corporation, or a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s business and assets as an entirety to any entity that is not a subsidiary is consummated.

In addition, if an award constitutes deferred compensation for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code, payments available in the event of a change in control are accelerated only if the events that constituted a change in control under the 2020 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.
Administration
The 2020 IPAP provides that it shall be administered by a committee of the Board, constituted so as to permit the 2020 IPAP to comply with the “non-employee director” provisions of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. The Compensation Committee performs this role under the 2020 IPAP. 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, 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 2020 IPAP. The authority of the Compensation Committee is subject to any express limitation in the 2020 IPAP, including the mandatory vesting and non-waiver requirements for awards.
The Compensation Committee also has the authority to grant awards under the 2020 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 in writing to the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation all or part of the Compensation Committee's authority and duties with respect to granting awards to employees who are not subject to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act on the date of grant. If the 2020 IPAP is approved by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting, the existing delegated authority of the Chief Executive Officer under the 2011 IPAP to make grants to eligible employees who are not Section 16 officers or other officers elected by the Board of Directors under the 2011 IPAP will be extended to the 2020 IPAP, subject to the limitations imposed by the Compensation Committee at the time it delegated that authority. The Compensation Committee may also delegate to the officers or employees of the Corporation or its subsidiaries the administrative authority to execute and deliver such instruments and documents and to take actions

Proposal 4: Approval of 2020 Incentive Performance Award Plan
necessary, advisable or convenient for the effective administration of the 2020 IPAP. It is intended generally that the share-based awards under the 2020 IPAP and the 2020 IPAP itself comply with and be interpreted in a manner that, in the case of awards to participants who are subject to the short swing profit provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, satisfy the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 so that such persons are entitled to the benefits of Rule 16b-3 or other exemptions under that rule. The 2020 IPAP provides that neither the Corporation nor any member of the Board or of the Compensation Committee shall have any liability to any person for any action taken or not taken in good faith under the 2020 IPAP. The 2020 IPAP also provides that it is the intent of the Corporation that, to the extent awards under the 2020 IPAP are considered deferred compensation, the awards will satisfy the requirements of the deferred compensation provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, and the Compensation Committee is expressly authorized to interpret and administer the 2020 IPAP accordingly.
Duration, Amendment and Termination
The 2020 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 22, 2030.
The Board has the authority to terminate, suspend or discontinue the 2020 IPAP at any time. The Board may amend the 2020 IPAP at any time, provided that any material amendment to the 2020 IPAP will not be effective unless approved by the Corporation’s stockholders.
For this purpose, an amendment is considered to be a “material” amendment if it would:

• | materially increase the number of shares of stock available under the 2020 IPAP 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 2020 IPAP;

• | expand the class of persons eligible to receive awards or otherwise participate in the 2020 IPAP; or

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

The Compensation Committee in its discretion may at any time and in any manner that would be authorized for a new award under the 2020 IPAP allow for deviations from the terms of any or all award agreements or amend any or all award agreements, so long as such an amendment would not require approval of the Corporation’s stockholders if such amendment were made to the 2020 IPAP. 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 2020 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 2020 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.
New Plan Benefits
Any future awards to executive officers or other employees of the Corporation under the 2020 IPAP are discretionary and cannot be determined at this time because the amount and form of grants to be made to any eligible participant in any year is determined at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. As a result, the benefits and amounts that will be received or allocated is not determinable at this time, and the Corporation has not included a table that reflects such future awards.
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, ISOs and certain other awards that may be granted under the 2020 IPAP. This discussion does not purport to cover all tax consequences relating to awards under the 2020 IPAP.
An optionee will not recognize taxable income upon the grant of a nonqualified stock option. Upon exercise of the option, the optionee will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the Lockheed Martin common stock on the date the option is exercised over the option price (which must be no less than the fair market value on the date of grant). The tax basis of the option stock in the hands of the optionee will equal the option price plus the amount of ordinary income the optionee recognizes upon exercise of the option, and the holding period for tax purposes will commence on the day the option is exercised. An optionee who exercises and

www.lockheedmartin.com | 2020 Proxy Statement | 80

Proposal 4: Approval of 2020 Incentive Performance Award Plan
holds option stock and sells the stock at a later date will recognize capital gain or loss measured by the difference between the tax basis of the stock and the amount realized on the sale. Such capital 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 or a subsidiary will be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the optionee. The deduction will be allowed at the same time the optionee recognizes the income.
An optionee will not recognize taxable income upon the grant of an ISO, and generally will not recognize income upon exercise of the option provided such optionee was an employee of the Corporation or a subsidiary at all times from the date of grant until three months prior to exercise. For alternative minimum tax purposes, however, the amount by which the fair market value of the Corporation’s common stock on the date of exercise exceeds the option price will be includible in alternative minimum taxable income, and such amount will be added to the tax basis of such stock for purposes of determining alternative minimum taxable income in the year the stock is sold. An optionee who exercises an ISO and sells the shares more than two years after the grant date and more than one year after exercise will recognize long-term capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the sales proceeds and the option price. An optionee who sells such shares within two years after the grant date or within one year after exercise will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the difference between the fair market value of such shares on the date of exercise and the option price or (b) the difference between the sales proceeds and the option price. Any remaining gain or loss will be treated as a capital gain or loss. The Corporation or a subsidiary will be entitled to a deduction with respect to an ISO only in the amount of ordinary income recognized by the optionee. The deduction will be allowable at the same time the optionee recognizes the income.
Restricted stock awards will be taxable to the participant as income when the awards no longer are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (unless the awards are earlier forfeited) based on the excess of the stock’s fair market value at that time over the purchase price (if any), unless the participant elects to pay tax at the time of the grant based on the then-current market price. If the participant elects on a timely basis to be taxed upon grant and the stock is later forfeited, however, the participant will receive no tax deduction. The Corporation will be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the amount of income recognized by the participant at the same time the participant recognizes the income. Dividends paid with respect to restricted stock after the termination or expiration of the restricted period generally will be taxed as dividend income, and the Corporation will not be entitled to a tax deduction for such dividends.
The tax consequences of restricted stock unit awards, whether payable in stock or in cash, are similar to the tax consequences of restricted stock, except that the participant may not elect to be taxed at the time of grant.
The federal income tax consequences of other awards authorized under the 2020 IPAP will generally follow certain basic patterns: SARs are taxed in substantially the same manner as nonqualified stock options; performance bonuses and cash-based awards generally are subject to tax at the time of payment. In each of the foregoing cases when the participant recognizes income, the Corporation generally will be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction, unless otherwise limited under the Internal Revenue Code. If, as a result of a change in control event, a participant’s options or SARs or other rights become immediately exercisable, or restrictions immediately lapse on an award, or cash, shares or other benefits covered by another type of award are immediately vested or issued, the additional economic value, if any, attributable to the acceleration or issuance may be deemed a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. In such case, the participant may be subject to a 20 percent non-deductible excise tax as to all or a portion of such economic value, in addition to any income tax payable. The Corporation will not be entitled to a deduction for that portion of any parachute payment that is subject to the excise tax.
Required Vote for Approval
The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal at the Annual Meeting is needed to adopt and approve the 2020 IPAP. Under the applicable stockholder approval requirements of the NYSE, abstentions are considered “votes cast” for this purpose and have the practical effect of a vote against the proposal to adopt and approve the 2020 IPAP.
The Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR Proposal 4, the adoption and approval of the Lockheed Martin Corporation 2020 Incentive Performance Award Plan as set forth in Appendix A.

Equity Compensation Plan Information
The following table provides information about the Corporation's equity compensation plans that authorize the issuance of shares of Lockheed Martin common stock to employees and directors. The information is provided as of December 31, 2019.

| Number of securities to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and rights |  | Weighted-average exercise price of outstanding options, warrants and rights |  | Number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans (excluding securities reflected in column (a)) |
| (#) |  | ($) |  | (#) |
Plan Category | (a) |  | (b) |  | (c) |
Equity compensation plans approved by security holders 1 | 3,049,366 |  | 80.29 |  | 4,440,143 |
Equity compensation plans not approved by security holders 2 | 779,510 |  | — |  | 2,487,791 |
Total | 3,828,876 |  | 80.29 |  | 6,927,934 |

(1) | Column (a) includes, as of December 31, 2019: 1,418,801 shares that have been granted as RSUs, 584,180 shares that could be earned pursuant to grants of PSUs (assuming the maximum number of PSUs are earned and payable at the end of the three-year performance period) and 937,746 shares granted as options under the Lockheed Martin Corporation 2011 Incentive Performance Award Plan (2011 IPAP) or predecessor plans and 19,660 shares granted as options and 88,979 stock units payable in stock or cash under the Lockheed Martin Corporation Amended and Restated Directors Equity Plan (Directors Equity Plan) or predecessor plans for non-employee directors. Column (c) includes, as of December 31, 2019, 4,037,074 shares available for future issuance under the 2011 IPAP as options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, RSUs or PSUs and 403,069 shares available for future issuance under the Directors Equity Plan as stock options and stock units. Of the 4,037,074 shares available for grant under the 2011 IPAP on December 31, 2019, 502,674 and 212,802 shares are issuable pursuant to grants made on February 27, 2020, of RSUs and PSUs (assuming the maximum number of PSUs are earned and payable at the end of the three-year performance period), respectively. Of the 403,069 shares available for grant under the Directors Equity Plan on December 31, 2019, 3,728 are units issuable pursuant to grants made on January 30, 2020, which vest 50 percent on June 30, 2020 and 50 percent on December 31, 2020, and 355 are units issuable pursuant to a grant made on March 2, 2020, which vest on December 31, 2020. Vested stock units are payable to directors upon their termination of service from our Board, except that directors who have satisfied our stock ownership guidelines may elect to have the payment of awards made after January 1, 2018 (together with any dividend equivalents thereon) made on the first business day of April following the one-year anniversary of the grant. The weighted average price does not take into account shares issued pursuant to RSUs or PSUs.

(2) | 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.

Director Compensation
Summary of Compensation Approach
Director compensation is an important tool used to attract and retain qualified directors and to address the time, effort, expertise and accountability required of active Board membership. The Governance Committee annually reviews publicly available data for the companies in the comparator group we use for benchmarking executive compensation (listed on page 41) and makes recommendations to the Board regarding compensation for non-employee directors. Ms. Hewson receives no compensation for service on the Board. Although the Governance Committee reviews director compensation annually, it has been the practice of the Governance 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 changes. For this reason, the Committee sets director compensation above the median with 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 2019, Meridian, acting as independent compensation consultant to the Governance Committee, assisted in its review of director compensation and best practices in director compensation design. Based upon that review at its September 2019 meeting, the Board increased the annual director's retainer for 2020 and the lead director cash retainer for 2020 as shown below.
Elements of Compensation

Annual Cash Retainer | $155,000 through December 31, 2019; $162,500 per year effective January 1, 2020
Annual Equity Retainer | $155,000 through December 31, 2019; $162,500 per year effective January 1, 2020, payable under the Lockheed Martin Corporation Amended and Restated Directors Equity Plan
Audit Committee Chairman Cash Retainer | $30,000 per year
Management Development and Compensation Committee Chairman Cash Retainer | $30,000 per year
Other Committee Chairman Cash Retainers | $20,000 per year
Independent Lead Director Cash Retainer | $35,000 per year through December 31, 2019; $50,000 per year effective January 1, 2020
Director Education | Reimbursed for costs and expenses

Equity Compensation
The annual equity retainer is paid in stock units under the Lockheed Martin Corporation Amended and Restated Directors Equity Plan (Directors Equity Plan). Except in certain circumstances, stock units vest 50 percent on June 30 and 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 become fully vested. 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 Equity 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 Directors Equity Plan provides that a director eligible for retirement at the next annual meeting receives a prorated grant (one-third) for the four months of service prior to the annual meeting.
Consistent with the terms of the Directors Equity Plan, a director who has satisfied the Board’s stock ownership guidelines may elect to have vested stock units awarded after January 1, 2018 (together with any dividend equivalents thereon) paid in a lump sum on the first business day of April following the one-year anniversary of the grant rather than following termination of Board service. Any director who has not elected early payments or has not satisfied the stock ownership guidelines will continue to be paid along with any accumulated dividend equivalents upon termination or retirement from the Board.
Although the Directors Equity Plan authorizes the grant of stock units or stock options, in June 2014, the Board approved 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.

Director Compensation
Deferred Compensation
The Lockheed Martin Corporation Directors Deferred Compensation Plan (Directors Deferred Compensation Plan) provides non-employee directors the opportunity to defer up to 100 percent of the cash portion of their fees. At the director's election, deferred amounts track the performance of: (i) the investment options available under the employee deferred compensation plans; or (ii) our common stock (with dividends reinvested). Deferred amounts 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 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, except for Mr. Dunford, Mr. Johnson, Ms. Hollub and Ms. Reed-Klages (who joined the Board within the past three years). Ms. Hewson is subject to the Stock Ownership Requirements for Key Employees as described on page 54.
2019 Director Compensation Table
The f ollowing table provides information on the compensation of our directors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Ms. Hewson does not receive separate compensation for service as a director of the Corporation.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers and directors (and persons who own more than 10% of our equity securities) to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Based solely on our review of forms filed electronically with the SEC and written representations from reporting persons, the Corporation has determined that no reporting person known to it was delinquent with respect to their reporting obligations during 2019 or prior years, except for the Form 3 filed on October 11, 2018 on behalf of Michele A. Evans, which inadvertently omitted a restricted stock unit award granted on January 26, 2017, due to an administrative error. An amended Form 3 was filed for Ms. Evans on January 28, 2020.

Proposal 5 | Stockholder Proposal to Adopt Stockholder Action by Written Consent |
• Stockholders already have the right to call a special meeting at any time. • Written consent is duplicative of this right, but without important protections and advantages afforded by the stockholder meeting process. • Strong existing corporate governance policies provide stockholders multiple means to express their views and ensure Board accountability. | The Board unanimously recommends that you vote AGAINST Proposal 5.

Mr. John Chevedden, 2215 Nelson Avenue, No. 205, Redondo Beach, California 90278, the beneficial owner of no less than 25 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. We have reprinted the proposal as submitted to us, and the Corporation is not responsible for its contents or any inaccuracies contained therein.
Proposal 5 - Right to Act by Written Consent
Shareholders request that our board of directors undertake such steps as may be necessary to permit written consent by shareholders entitled to cast the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize the action at a meeting at which all shareholders entitled to vote thereon were present and voting. This written consent is to give shareholders the fullest power to act by written consent consistent with applicable law. This includes shareholder ability to initiate any appropriate topic for written consent.
Dozens of Fortune 500 companies provide for both shareholder rights - to act by written consent and to call a special meeting.
Our higher 25% threshold for shareholders to call a special meeting has bureaucratic pitfalls that trigger minor shareholder errors that could mean that 50% of shares would need to ask for a special meeting in order to be sure of obtaining the threshold of 25% of requests without errors. One can be sure that management will have an eagle eye to spot any errors.
The right for shareholders to act by written consent is gaining acceptance as a more important right than the right to call a special meeting. This also seems to be the conclusion of the Intel Corporation (INTC) shareholder vote at the 2019 Intel annual meeting.
The directors at Intel apparently thought they could divert shareholder attention away from written consent by making it easier for shareholders to call a special meeting. However Intel shareholders responded with greater support for written consent in 2019 compared to 2018.
Written consent won 45%-support at The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BK) in 2018. In response to the 45%-vote BK adopted written consent in 2019.
Taking action by written consent in place of a meeting is a means shareholders can use to raise important matters outside the normal annual meeting cycle like the election of a new director.
This proposal may be more important because due to a court ruling our board may now be legally required to permit removal of a director by a majority vote of shareholders with or without cause.
This proposal topic would have received majority support at our 2018 annual meeting if our management had simply allowed shareholders to make up their own minds. This is a proposal topic that can gain increased shareholder support even if management opposes it. For instance Flowserve Corporation opposed this proposal topic and support increased from 43% to 51% in one-year. In regard to previous shareholder votes on shareholder proposals it is significant to note that the LMT annual meeting proxy is misleading. It fails to disclose that LMT has an extra hurdle to validate proponent stock ownership that are not requested by 99% of companies.
Please vote yes:
Right to Act by Written Consent - Proposal 5

Proposal 5: Stockholder Proposal to Adopt Stockholder Action by Written Consent

Board of Directors Statement in Opposition to Proposal 5 The Board recommends that stockholders vote AGAINST this proposal because the Board views the requested change as not in the best interests of the stockholders and unnecessary given the Corporation’s strong corporate governance practices and Board accountability to stockholders, as described below. • Our 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 written consent under the proposal. The proposal would be duplicative of this existing stockholder right to call a special meeting, but without important protections and advantages afforded by the stockholder meeting process. See “Stockholder Right to Call Special Meeting” on page 29. • The Board believes allowing stockholders to act by written consent circumvents the deliberative stockholder meeting process. This 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 notice of the written consent proposal, be given adequate time to review the subject matter of the proposal, be 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. • Written consent provides a greater opportunity for abuse. The 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 (including those who accumulate a short-term voting position through borrowed shares) 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. • We have a long-standing commitment to sound corporate governance practices and an active investor engagement program to ensure Board accountability. At the direction of the Board, the Corporation engages directly with its stockholders throughout the year to seek their views on an array of issues, including corporate governance matters. In addition to the right to call a special meeting, in 2016 the Board proactively adopted proxy access and in 2017 the Board proactively amended the Corporation's Bylaws to provide that the stockholders have the power to amend the Corporation's Bylaws. Our Board has also demonstrated its commitment to Board refreshment and to the election of highly qualified independent directors who bring diverse perspectives to our Board with skills that are aligned with our long-term business strategy. All directors are elected annually by our stockholders and we provide for majority voting for directors with a resignation policy. Over the past five years seven new independent directors have been added to the Board and the average tenure of the Board has decreased to five years. In 2019, the Board also elected a new independent Lead Director. • Substantially identical proposals were rejected by the Corporation’s stockholders in 2018, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2011. This will be the sixth time in the past nine years that the same proponent has proposed a substantially similar proposal and each of the past five times stockholders have rejected such a proposal. The Board is unaware of any developments since the last time stockholders rejected such a proposal in 2018 that should change stockholders’ views on this proposal. The Board will continue to review corporate governance best practices and adopt those practices that it believes, in light of the circumstances, serve the best interests of the Corporation and our stockholders.

Do I need an admission ticket to attend the Annual Meeting?
Yes. You (and one family member guest) must present both an admission ticket and valid, government-issued photographic identification to attend the Annual Meeting. Please follow the advance registration instructions on page 96. Anyone not presenting an admission ticket and valid, government-issued photographic identification, will not be admitted into the Annual Meeting.
Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?
Holders of our common stock at the close of business on February 24, 2020 (the Record Date) are entitled to attend and vote their shares at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 281,868,391 shares outstanding. Each share outstanding on the Record Date is entitled to one vote on each proposal presented at the Annual Meeting. This includes shares held through Lockheed Martin Direct Invest, our dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan, and through our employee benefit plans. Your proxy card shows the number of shares held in your account(s) as of the Record Date.
What is the difference between holding shares as a registered stockholder and as a beneficial owner?
If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (Computershare), you are considered the “registered stockholder” of those shares. We mail the Proxy Materials and our Annual Report to you directly.
If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee (street name), you are considered the “beneficial owner” of the shares that are registered in street name. In this case, the Proxy Materials and our Annual Report were forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other nominee. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares by following the voting instructions included in the mailing.
Employees with shares allocated to an employee benefit plan account will vote shares allocated to their benefit plan account electronically and will not receive a paper mailing for those shares. Employees should review the information on procedures for voting by plan participants on page 92.

Questions and Answers About the Annual Meeting
Can other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting?
At the time this Proxy Statement went to press, we were not aware of any other matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting. If other matters are properly presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders appointed by our Board (who are named on your proxy card if you are a registered stockholder) will have the discretion to vote on those matters in accordance with their best judgment on behalf of stockholders who provide a valid proxy by Internet, by telephone or by mail if you received it by mail.
What is the procedure for voting?
If your shares are registered in your name, you can vote using any of the methods described below.

• | If your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank, or other nominee, your nominee will provide you with instructions on the procedure for voting your shares. Employees with shares allocated to an employee benefit plan account should review the information on procedures for voting by employees on page 92.

• | If you hold shares in multiple accounts, you may receive multiple Proxy Material packages (electronically and/or by mail). Please be sure to vote all of your Lockheed Martin shares in each of your accounts in accordance with the voting instructions you receive.

By Internet or Telephone
You can vote your shares via the Internet at www.investorvote.com. Please have your proxy card in hand when you go online. You will have an opportunity to confirm your voting selections before your vote is recorded.

By Mail
If you received your Proxy Materials by mail, mark, date and sign the proxy card and return it in the postage prepaid envelope provided. If voting instructions are provided, shares represented by the proxy card will be voted in accordance with the voting instructions.

Most active employees who participate in these benefit plans will receive an email notification announcing Internet availability of the Proxy Materials and how to submit voting directions.
If you do not provide timely directions to the plan trustee, shares allocated to your account(s) will be voted by the plan trustee depending on the terms of your plan or other legal requirements.
Plan participants may attend the Annual Meeting, but may not vote plan shares at the Annual Meeting.

Questions and Answers About the Annual Meeting
Will my shares be voted if I don’t provide my proxy or instruction card?
Registered Stockholders
If your shares are registered in your name, your shares will not be voted unless you provide a proxy by Internet, by telephone, by mail, or vote in person at the Annual Meeting.
Plan Participants
If you are a participant in one of our employee 401(k) or defined contribution plans and you do not provide timely directions to the plan trustee, shares allocated to your account(s) will be voted by the plan trustee depending on the terms of your plan and other legal requirements.
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 the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP (Proposal 2) is considered a routine matter, and your broker 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 broker 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 P roposal 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, other than in the case of Proposal 4, excludes abstentions. Proposals 2, 3 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.
What is the effect of an abstention?
A stockh older 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 4, however, the NYSE requires that abstentions be treated as votes cast. Accordingly, an abstention has no effect on the vote on any proposal other than Proposal 4. For Proposal 4, 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 and have 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.
Who will count the votes?
Representatives of Computershare will tabulate the votes and act as inspectors of election for the Annual Meeting.

93 |

Questions and Answers About the Annual Meeting
Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?
The preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. The final voting results will be tallied by the inspectors of election and disclosed by the Corporation in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days following 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. Box 505000, Louisville, KY 40233-5000, 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.

Can I receive a copy of the Annual Report?
Yes. We will provide a copy of our Annual Report without charge, upon written request, to any registered or beneficial owner of common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Requests should be made in writing addressed to Investor Relations, Lockheed Martin Corporation, 6801 Rockledge Drive, Bethesda, MD 20817, by calling Lockheed Martin Stockholder Direct at 1-800-568-9758, or by accessing the Corporation’s website at www.lockheedmartin.com/investor.
Can I view the Proxy Statement and Annual Report on the Internet?
Yes. The Proxy Statement and Annual Report are available on the Internet at www.edocumentview.com/LMT. Subject to the “householding” procedures above, all stockholders will receive paper copies of the Proxy Statement, proxy card and Annual Report by mail unless the stockholder has consented to electronic delivery or is an employee with shares allocated in an employee benefit plan. The SEC also maintains a website at www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy statements, and other information regarding Lockheed Martin.
Can I choose to receive the Proxy Statement and Annual Report on the Internet instead of receiving them by mail?

Yes. If you are a registered stockholder or beneficial owner, you can elect to receive future Annual Reports and Proxy Statements on the Internet only and not receive copies in the mail by visiting Shareholder Services at www.lockheedmartin.com/investor and completing the online consent form. Your request for electronic transmission will remain in effect for all future Annual Reports and Proxy Statements, unless withdrawn. Withdrawal procedures also are available on this website.

Most active employees who participate in the Corporation’s 401(k) and defined contribution plans will receive an email notification announcing Internet availability of the Proxy Materials. A paper copy will not be provided unless requested by the employee following the instruction in the email notification.
Who pays the cost of this proxy solicitation?
The Corporation pays the cost of soliciting proxies on behalf of the Board for the Annual Meeting. We may solicit proxies by Internet, by telephone, by mail or in person. We may make arrangements with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to send Proxy Materials to beneficial owners on our behalf. We reimburse them for their reasonable expenses. We have retained Morrow Sodali LLC, 470 West Avenue, Stamford, CT 06902 to aid in the solicitation of proxies and to verify related records for a fee of $45,000, plus expenses. To the extent necessary to ensure sufficient representation at the Annual Meeting, we may request the return of proxies by mail, express delivery, courier, telephone, Internet or other means. Stockholders are requested to return their proxies without delay.

Additional Information and Other Matters
SECTION 3. Eligibility.
Any one or more Awards may be granted to any individual who is an Employee on the Date of Grant and who is designated by the Committee to receive an Award, provided that no individual who beneficially owns Stock possessing five percent or more of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Corporation will be eligible to participate in this Plan.
SECTION 4. Awards.
(a) Type of Awards. The Committee may grant any of the following types of Awards, either separately or in combination with other Awards:
(1) Nonqualified Stock Options. A Nonqualified Stock Option is an Award in the form of an option to purchase Stock that is not intended to comply with the requirements of Code Section 422. The exercise price of each Nonqualified Stock Option granted under this Plan may be no less than the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the Date of Grant.
(2) Incentive Stock Options. An Incentive Stock Option is an Award in the form of an option to purchase Stock that is intended to comply with the requirements of Code Section 422. The exercise price of each Incentive Stock Option granted under this Plan may be no less than the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the Date of Grant. To the extent that the aggregate “fair market value” of Stock with respect to which one or more incentive stock options first become exercisable by a Participant in any calendar year exceeds $100,000, taking into account both Stock subject to Incentive Stock Options under this Plan and stock subject to incentive stock options under all other plans of the Corporation or of other entities referenced in Code Section 422(d)(1), the options will be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. For this purpose, the “fair market value” of the Stock subject to options will be determined as of the Date of Grant.
(3) Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right or SAR is an Award in the form of a right to receive, upon surrender of the SAR, but without other payment, an amount based on appreciation in the value of Stock over a base price established in the Award, payable in cash, Stock or such other form or combination of forms of payout, at times and upon conditions as may be approved by the Committee. The minimum base price of a SAR granted under this Plan is the Fair Market Value of the underlying Stock on the Date of Grant, or, in the case of a SAR related to an Option (whether already outstanding or concurrently granted), the exercise price of the related Option.
(4) Restricted Stock. Restricted Stock is an Award of shares of Stock of the Corporation that are issued, but subject to restrictions on transfer and/or such other restrictions on incidents of ownership as the Committee may determine.
(5) Stock Units. A Stock Unit is an Award payable in cash or Stock and represented by a bookkeeping entry where the amount represented by the bookkeeping entry for each Stock Unit equals the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Date of Grant and which amount will be subsequently increased or decreased to reflect the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on any date from the Date of Grant up to the date the Stock Unit is paid to the Participant in cash or Stock. Stock Units are not outstanding shares of Stock and do not entitle a Participant to voting or other rights with respect to Stock; provided, however, that an Award of Stock Units (including Stock Units that are granted as Performance-Based Awards) may provide for the crediting of Dividend Equivalents or the crediting of additional Stock Units based on the value of dividends paid on Stock while the Award is outstanding, with such Dividend Equivalents payable only when the Award becomes payable in accordance with the vesting, forfeiture and Performance Goals applicable to the underlying Stock Units.
(6) Other Stock-Based Awards. An Other Stock-Based Award is an Award that is not an Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock, or Stock Unit, that is payable or denominated in or has a value derived from the value of, or an exercise right or conversion privilege at a price related to, shares of Stock.
(7) Cash-Based Awards. Cash-Based Awards are Awards granted pursuant to the provisions of Section 4(b) that provide Participants with the opportunity to earn a cash payment.
(b) Performance-Based Awards. A Performance-Based Award is any form of Award permitted under this Plan that is granted by the Committee to be earned based upon the level of performance of the Corporation, any Subsidiary or Subsidiaries of the Corporation, or any segments or business units of the Corporation, or a combination thereof, relative to one or more Performance Goals established by the Committee and evidenced in an Award Agreement for a performance period of not less than one year, and that is subject to the following provisions of this Section 4(b).
(1) For each Performance-Based Award, the Committee will determine the size of the Award, the Performance Goal(s), the performance period, the performance targets as to each of the Performance Goal(s), the level or levels of achievement necessary for award payments, and the weighting of the Performance Goals, if more than one Performance Goal is applicable. These determinations will be evidenced in the Award Agreement applicable to each Performance-Based Award.

Additional Information and Other Matters
(2) The Committee will have the authority to make equitable adjustments to the Performance Goals and/or performance targets in recognition of, among other things, unusual or non-recurring events affecting the Corporation or any Subsidiary or the financial statements of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, in response to changes in applicable laws or regulations, or to account for items of gain, loss or expense determined to be extraordinary or unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence or related to the acquisition or divestiture of a business or segment of a business or to a change in accounting principles. To the extent necessary to avoid adverse accounting consequences, such adjustments will be specified in the Award Agreement applicable to a Performance-Based Award.
(c) Individual Limits on Awards.
(1) Share-Based Awards. The maximum number of shares of Stock that are issuable under this Plan pursuant to Share-Based Awards that are granted during any calendar year to any Participant will not exceed 1,000,000, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.
(2) Cash-Based Awards. The aggregate amount of compensation to be paid to any Participant in respect of those Cash-Based Awards that are granted during any calendar year will not exceed $10,000,000.
(d) Minimum Vesting of Awards. The minimum vesting period for any Award, including a portion or installment of an Award, granted under this Plan will be one year. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the following Awards will not be subject to the one-year minimum vesting requirement: any (i) Awards granted in connection with business acquisitions as provided in Section 7(d), and (ii) any additional Awards the Committee may grant, up to a maximum of 5 percent of the available share reserve authorized for issuance under this Plan pursuant to Section 5(a) as of the Effective Date (subject to adjustment under Section 7(a)).
(e) Maximum Term of Awards. No Award that contemplates exercise or conversion may be exercised or converted to any extent, and no other Award that defers vesting, may remain outstanding and unexercised, unconverted or unvested more than ten years after its Date of Grant.
(f) Code Section 409A. It is the intent of the Corporation that no Award under this Plan be subject to taxation under Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code. Accordingly, if the Committee determines that an Award granted under this Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, such Award will be interpreted and administered so as to comply with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder.
(g) No Repricing; Out-of-the-Money Options or Stock Appreciation Rights. No Option or SAR may be re-priced, replaced, re-granted through cancellation, or modified without stockholder approval (except as permitted under Section 7), if the effect would be to reduce the exercise price or base price for the Stock underlying such Option or SAR, respectively. In addition, in no event will the Corporation pay cash or other consideration for Options where at the time of payment the exercise price of the Option is greater than the Fair Market Value of the Stock underlying the Option or pay cash or other consideration for SARs where at the time of payment the base price established in the Award is greater than the Fair Market Value of the Stock underlying the SAR.
SECTION 5. Shares of Stock Available Under Plan.
(a) Aggregate Share Limit for Share-Based Awards. Subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 5 or Section 7(a), the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be subject to Options (including Incentive Stock Options), SARs payable in shares of Stock, Restricted Stock, Stock Units and Other Stock-Based Awards payable in shares of Stock granted or issued under this Plan is 4,500,000, plus the number of shares of Stock reserved for future awards under the Predecessor Plan as of the Effective Date, plus the number of shares of Stock subject to awards outstanding under the Predecessor Plan as of the Effective Date that thereafter are unexercised, unconverted or undistributed as a result of termination, expiration or forfeiture of the award, whether or not the individual holding the award received or was credited with benefits of ownership (such as dividends, Dividend Equivalents or voting rights) during the period in which the individual’s ownership was restricted or otherwise not vested, including shares of Stock subject to Restricted Stock Awards that subsequently are reacquired by the Corporation due to termination, expiration or forfeiture.
(b) Restriction on Recycling or Reissue of Shares. Stock issued upon the exercise of an Award or the vesting of an Award may not be used for a subsequent Award under this Plan. Any unexercised, unconverted or undistributed portion of any Award made under this Plan or any share-based award under the Predecessor Plan resulting from termination, expiration or forfeiture of that Award will again be available for Award under Section 5(a), whether or not the Participant has received or been credited with benefits of ownership (such as dividends, Dividend Equivalents or voting rights) during the period in which the Participant’s ownership was restricted or otherwise not vested. Shares of Stock that are issued pursuant to Restricted Stock Awards and subsequently reacquired by the Corporation due to termination, expiration or forfeiture of the Award also will be available for reissuance under this Plan. Shares of Stock subject to an Award that are reacquired or not issued by the Corporation pursuant to Section 5(f) or 5(g) to satisfy a withholding obligation of the Participant will not be available for reissue or issue, as applicable. With respect to SARs payable in shares of Stock, the number of shares of Stock subject to an Award will be counted against the number of shares of Stock available for issuance under this Plan regardless of the number of shares of Stock actually issued to settle the SARs upon exercise.

Additional Information and Other Matters
(c) Interpretive Issues. Additional rules for determining the number of shares of Stock authorized under this Plan or available for grant or issuance from time to time may be adopted by the Committee, as it deems necessary or appropriate.
(d) Source of Shares; No Fractional Shares. The Stock that may be issued pursuant to an Award under this Plan may be authorized but unissued Stock or Stock acquired by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, subsequently or in anticipation of a transaction under this Plan, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. No fractional shares of Stock may be issued under this Plan, but fractional interests may be accumulated pursuant to the terms of an Award.
(e) Consideration. The Stock issued under this Plan may be issued (subject to Section 10(d)) for any lawful form of consideration, the value of which equals the par value of the Stock or such greater or lesser value as the Committee, consistent with Section 10(d), may require.
(f) Purchase or Exercise Price; Withholding. The exercise or purchase price (if any) of the Stock issuable pursuant to any Award and any withholding obligation under applicable Tax laws will be paid in cash or, subject to the Committee’s express authorization and the terms, restrictions, conditions and procedures as the Committee may in its sole discretion impose (subject to Section 10(d)), any one or combination of (i) cash, (ii) the delivery of shares of Stock, (iii) a reduction in the number of Shares of Stock issuable or cash payable pursuant to such Award or (iv) in the case of purchase price only, a contract for labor or services to be performed or labor or services actually performed. In the case of a payment by the means described in clause (ii) or (iii) above, the Stock to be so delivered or offset will be determined by reference to the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date as of which the payment or offset is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Insider will be permitted to satisfy the purchase or exercise price or withholding obligation with respect to an Award by using a method of payment otherwise authorized under this Plan or an Award Agreement if such method of payment would constitute a personal loan under Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act. If an Award Agreement to a Participant who is not an Insider authorizes a method of payment that would constitute a personal loan under Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act and the Participant subsequently becomes an Insider, then the payment method will no longer be available to the Participant and the Committee will take whatever steps are necessary to make such payment method void as to such Participant, including but not limited to requiring the immediate payment of any loan previously obtained in connection with an Award.
(g) Cashless Exercise. Subject to any restrictions on Insiders pursuant to Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act, the Committee may permit the exercise of an Award and payment of any applicable withholding Tax in respect of an Award by delivery of notice, subject to the Corporation’s receipt from a third party of payment (or commitment to make payment) in full in cash for the exercise price and the applicable withholding prior to issuance of Stock, in the manner and subject to the procedures as may be established by the Committee.
SECTION 6. Award Agreements.
Each Award under this Plan will be evidenced by an Award Agreement in a form approved by the Committee setting forth, in the case of Share-Based Awards, the number of shares of Stock, as applicable, subject to the Award, and the price (if any) and term of the Award and, in the case of Performance-Based Awards, the applicable Performance Goals and performance period. The Award Agreement also may set forth (or incorporate by reference) other material terms and conditions applicable to the Award as determined by the Committee consistent with the limitations of this Plan.
(a) Mandatory Option and SAR Holding Period. Award Agreements for Options and SARs payable in Stock will be deemed to state that, subject to the authority of the Committee under Section 7, a minimum six-month period will elapse between the date of initial grant of any Option or SAR paid in Stock and the sale of the underlying shares of Stock, and the Corporation may impose legend and other restrictions on the Stock issued on exercise of the Options or SARs to enforce this requirement.
(b) Mandatory Dividend Provisions for Restricted Stock, Stock Units and Other Stock-Based Awards Payable in Stock. Award Agreements for Restricted Stock will be deemed to state that dividends that become payable on Restricted Stock will not be payable to the Participant but will be accrued and held by the Corporation until such time as the underlying Restricted Stock vests, at which time the accrued dividends will be paid to the Participant or used to satisfy a withholding Tax obligation pursuant to Section 6(c)(3). This Section 6(b) will also apply to Award Agreements governing Stock Units or Other Stock-Based Awards payable in Stock unless the Stock Units or Other Stock-Based Awards are granted in tandem with another Award, in which case this Section 6(b) will apply to the Award Agreement for that other Award.
(c) Mandatory Provisions Applicable to All Award Agreements. Award Agreements will be subject to the terms of this Plan and will be deemed to include the following terms, unless the Committee in the Award Agreement consistent with applicable legal requirements, provides otherwise:

101 |

Additional Information and Other Matters
(1) Non-assignability: The Award may not be assignable nor transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and during the lifetime of a Participant, the Award may be exercised only by the Participant or by his or her guardian or legal representative. The designation of a Beneficiary hereunder will not constitute a transfer prohibited by the foregoing provisions.
(2) Rights as Stockholder: A Participant will have no rights as a holder of Stock with respect to any unissued securities covered by an Award until the date the underlying shares of Stock are issued to the Participant. Except in the case of Restricted Stock and except as provided in Section 7, no adjustment or other provision will be made for dividends or other stockholder rights, except to the extent that the Award Agreement provides for Dividend Equivalents or similar economic benefits.
(3) Tax Withholding: Each Participant will be responsible for payment of all Taxes imposed on such Participant with respect to an Award. All withholding Tax obligations will be satisfied on or prior to the payment of an Award. If the Corporation concludes that any withholding Tax is required with respect to any Award (including with respect to associated dividends, Dividend Equivalents, or DDEs), and the Participant otherwise has not made arrangements acceptable to the Corporation to satisfy the withholding Tax obligation, the Corporation may (i) offset an amount for Tax withholding against any obligation of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to the Participant, (ii) at any time on or prior to payment of an Award reduce the amount of the Award (including the surrender of associated dividends, Dividend Equivalents, or DDEs to be paid with respect to such Award) paid to be paid to the Participant to pay Tax withholding, or (iii) require the Participant or his or her Beneficiary to pay the Corporation an amount in cash to satisfy the withholding Tax obligation. The satisfaction of any withholding Taxes with respect to Share-Based Awards also may be satisfied by cashless exercise as provided in Section 5(g).
(4) No Waivers: Neither the Committee nor the Board of Directors has retained the authority to waive the requirements set forth in Sections 6(a), 6(b) or 6(c).
(d) Other Provisions. Award Agreements may include other terms and conditions as the Committee shall approve, including but not limited to the following:
(1) Other Terms and Conditions: Any other terms not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan as are necessary, appropriate, or desirable to effect an Award to a Participant, including provisions describing the treatment of an Award in the event of the death, disability, layoff, retirement, divestiture or other termination of a Participant’s employment with or services to the Corporation or a Subsidiary, any provisions relating to the vesting, exercisability, forfeiture or cancellation of the Award, any requirements for continued employment, any other restrictions or conditions (including performance requirements and holding periods) of the Award and the method by which the restrictions or conditions lapse, procedures acceptable to the Committee (if any) with respect to the effect on the Award of a Change in Control, subject in the case of Options, SARs payable in shares of Stock, Restricted Stock, Stock Units and Other Stock-Based Awards payable in shares of Stock, to the requirements of Sections 4(a) and (b), and Sections 6(a), (b) and (c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances may an Award Agreement provide that the Award will accelerate and vest in full upon a Participant’s layoff, or vest in any portion solely upon a Change in Control pursuant to which an Award is assumed, continued or substituted by the Corporation or its successor.
(2) Non-competition and non-solicitation clause: A provision or provisions requiring the forfeiture or recoupment of an Award (whether or not vested) on account of activities deemed by the Committee in its sole discretion to be harmful to the Corporation, including but not limited to employment with a competitor, misuse of the Corporation’s proprietary or confidential information, or solicitation of the Corporation’s employees.
(3) Claw-back: A provision entitling the Corporation to recoup any Award (whether or not vested) or value received for an Award under circumstances specified in the Award Agreement or rules, regulations or interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any applicable law.
(e) Contract Rights, Forms and Signatures. Any obligation of the Corporation to any Participant with respect to an Award will be based solely upon contractual obligations created by this Plan and an Award Agreement. Subject to the provisions of Section 8(g), no Award will be enforceable until the Corporation has delivered the Award Agreement to the Participant and the Participant has accepted the Award Agreement through means designated by the Committee. By signing the Award Agreement, or otherwise providing an acknowledgement of receipt in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, a Participant will be deemed to have understood and consented to the terms of this Plan and any action taken in good faith under this Plan by and within the discretion of the Committee, the Board of Directors or their delegates. Unless the Award Agreement expressly provides otherwise, there are no third-party beneficiaries of the obligations of the Corporation to the Participant under an Award Agreement.

SECTION 7. Adjustments; Change in Control; Acquisitions.
(a) Adjustments. In the event of any recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split (including a stock split in the form of a stock dividend), reverse stock split, merger, combination, consolidation, or other reorganization, or any extraordinary dividend or other extraordinary distribution in respect of the Stock (whether in the form of cash, Stock or other property), or any split-up, spin-off, split-off, extraordinary redemption, or exchange of outstanding Stock, or there occurs any other similar corporate transaction or event in respect of the Stock, or a sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation as an entirety, then the Committee is required, in the manner and to the extent, if any, as it deems appropriate and equitable to the Participants and consistent with the terms of this Plan, and taking into consideration the effect of the event on the holders of the Stock, proportionately adjust any or all of the following:
(1) the number and type of shares of Stock that thereafter may be made the subject of Awards (including the specific maximum and numbers of shares of Stock set forth elsewhere in this Plan),
(2) the number and type of shares of Stock, cash or other property subject to any or all outstanding Awards,
(3) the grant, purchase or exercise price, or conversion ratio of any or all outstanding Awards, or of the Stock or other property underlying the Awards,
(4) the securities, cash or other property deliverable upon exercise or conversion of any or all outstanding Awards,
(5) subject to Section 4(b), the Performance Goals or other standards appropriate to any outstanding Performance-Based Awards, or
(6) any other terms as are affected by the event.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, no adjustment will be made that would cause this Plan to violate Section 424(a) of the Code, without the written consent of the Participant adversely affected thereby. The Committee may act prior to an event described in this Section 7(a) (including at the time of an Award by means of more specific provisions in the Award Agreement) if deemed necessary or appropriate to permit the Participant to realize the benefits intended to be conveyed by an Award in respect of the Stock in the case of an event described in Section 7(a).
(b) Change in Control. The Committee may, in the Award Agreement, provide for the effect of a Change in Control on an Award. Such provisions may include but are not limited to any one or more of the following with respect to any or all Awards: (i) the specific consequences of a Change in Control on the Awards; (ii) the acceleration or extension of time periods for purposes of exercising, vesting in, or realizing gain from, the Awards; (iii) a reservation of the Committee’s right to determine in its discretion at any time that there will be full acceleration or no acceleration of benefits under the Awards; (iv) that only certain or limited benefits under the Awards will be accelerated; (v) that the Awards will be accelerated for a limited time only; or (vi) that acceleration of the Awards will be subject to additional conditions precedent (such as, but not limited to, a termination of employment following a Change in Control). Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances may an Award Agreement provide that the Award will vest in any portion solely upon a Change in Control pursuant to which an Award is assumed, continued or substituted by the Corporation or its successor.
In addition to any action required or authorized by the terms of an Award, without the approval of any Participant, the Committee may take any other action it deems appropriate in the event of or in anticipation of a Change in Control, including but not limited to any one or more of the following with respect to any or all Awards and any other action not listed below to ensure the equitable treatment of Participants: (i) the waiver of conditions on the Awards that were imposed for the benefit of the Corporation; (ii) provision for the cash settlement of the Awards for their equivalent cash value, as determined by the Committee, as of the date of a Change in Control; (iii) provisions for the assumption or continuation of the Award and the substitution for shares of stock of a successor entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number of shares, exercise or conversion price and conditions of the Award; or (iv) such other modification or adjustment to the Awards as the Committee deems appropriate to maintain and protect the rights and interests of Participants upon or following a Change in Control. The Committee also may accord any Participant a right to refuse any acceleration of exercisability, vesting or benefits, whether pursuant to the Award Agreement or otherwise, in such circumstances as the Committee may approve.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(b) or any provision in an Award Agreement to the contrary, if any Award to any Insider is accelerated to a date that is less than six months after the Date of Grant, the Committee may prohibit a sale of the underlying Stock (other than a sale by operation of law), and the Corporation may impose legend and other restrictions on the Stock to enforce this prohibition.
(c) Change in Control Definition. For purposes of this Plan, a “Change in Control” will include and be deemed to occur upon one or more of the following events:

Additional Information and Other Matters
(1) A tender offer or exchange offer is consummated for the ownership of securities of the Corporation representing 25 percent or more of the combined voting power of the Corporation’s then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote in the election of directors of the Corporation;
(2) The consummation of a merger, combination, consolidation, recapitalization, or other reorganization of the Corporation with one or more other entities that are not Subsidiaries if, as a result of the consummation of the merger, combination, consolidation, recapitalization or other reorganization, less than 75 percent of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or resulting corporation will immediately after the event be owned in the aggregate by the stockholders of the Corporation (directly or indirectly), determined on the basis of record ownership as of the date of determination of holders entitled to vote on the action (or in the absence of a vote, the day immediately prior to the event);
(3) Any person (as this term is used in Sections 3(a)(9) and 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, but excluding any person described in and satisfying the conditions of Rule 13d-1(b)(1) thereunder), becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation representing 25 percent or more of the combined voting power of the Corporation’s then outstanding securities entitled to vote in the election of directors of the Corporation;
(4) At any time within any period of two years after a tender offer, merger, combination, consolidation, recapitalization, or other reorganization or a contested director election, or any combination of these events, the “Incumbent Directors” cease to constitute at least a majority of the authorized number of members of the Board. For purposes hereof, “Incumbent Directors” means the persons who were members of the Board immediately before the first of these events, and the persons who were elected or nominated as their successors or pursuant to increases in the size of the Board by a vote of at least three-fourths of the Board members who were then Board members (or successors or additional members so elected or nominated); and
(5) The stockholders of the Corporation approve a plan of liquidation and dissolution of the Corporation, or a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s business and/or assets as an entirety to an entity that is not a Subsidiary is consummated.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Committee determines that an Award could be subject to taxation under Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code, a Change in Control will have no effect on the Award unless the Change in Control also would constitute 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(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code.
(d) Business Acquisitions. Awards may be granted under this Plan on terms and conditions as the Committee considers appropriate, which may differ from those otherwise required by this Plan, to the extent necessary to reflect a substitution for or assumption of stock incentive awards held by employees of other entities who become Employees of the Corporation or a Subsidiary as the result of a merger, consolidation or business combination of the employing entity with, or the acquisition of assets or stock of the employing entity by, the Corporation or a Subsidiary, directly or indirectly.
SECTION 8. Administration.
(a) Committee Authority and Structure. This Plan and all Awards granted under this Plan will be administered by the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board or such other committee of the Board as may be designated by the Board and constituted so as to permit this Plan to comply with the disinterested administration requirements of Rule 16b-3. The Board will designate the members of the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action taken under this Plan by the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board or such other committee of the Board as may be designated by the Board to administer this Plan and Awards granted under this Plan will be valid and effective whether or not members of the Committee at the time of such action are later determined not to have satisfied the requirements for membership set forth in this Section 8(a) or otherwise provided in any charter of the Committee.
(b) Selection and Grant. The Committee will have the authority to determine the Employees to whom Awards will be granted under this Plan, the type of Award or Awards to be made, and the nature, amount, pricing, timing, and other terms of Awards to be made to any one or more of these individuals, subject to the terms of this Plan.
(c) Construction and Interpretation. The Committee will have the power to interpret and administer this Plan and Award Agreements, and to adopt, amend and rescind related rules and procedures. All questions of interpretation and determinations with respect to this Plan, the number of shares of Stock, SARs or other Awards granted and the terms of any Award Agreements, the adjustments required or permitted by Section 7, and other determinations hereunder will be made by the Committee and its determination will be final and conclusive upon all parties in interest. In the event of any conflict between an Award Agreement and any non-discretionary provisions of this Plan, the terms of this Plan will govern.

Additional Information and Other Matters
(d) Rule 16b-3 Conditions; Bifurcation of Plan. It is the intent of the Corporation that this Plan and Share-Based Awards hereunder satisfy and be interpreted in a manner that, in the case of Participants who are or may be Insiders, satisfies any applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3, so that these persons will be entitled to the benefits of Rule 16b-3 or other exemptive rules under Section 16 under the Exchange Act and will not be subjected to avoidable liability thereunder as to Awards intended to be entitled to the benefits of Rule 16b-3. If any provision of this Plan or of any Award would otherwise frustrate or conflict with the intent expressed in this Section 8(d), that provision to the extent possible will be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid such conflict. To the extent of any remaining irreconcilable conflict with this intent, the provision will be deemed disregarded as to Awards intended as Rule 16b-3 exempt Awards. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, the provisions of this Plan may at any time be bifurcated by the Board or the Committee in any manner so that certain provisions of this Plan or any Award Agreement intended (or required) to satisfy the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 are only applicable to Insiders and to those Awards to Insiders intended to satisfy the requirements of Rule 16b-3.
(e) Delegation and Reliance. The Committee, in its discretion, may delegate to the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation all or part of the Committee’s authority and duties with respect to granting Awards (but in no event with respect to Awards to Participants who are Insiders on the date any such Award is made or on the applicable Grant Date, if such dates are not the same), provided such delegation is in writing (including evidenced by written meeting minutes or written consent) and is consistent with any limitations under the Maryland General Corporation Law. A copy of any such delegation will be maintained in the records of the actions of the Committee. The Committee may revoke or amend the terms of such delegation at any time, but such revocation will not invalidate prior actions of the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation that were consistent with the terms of this Plan and such earlier delegation. The Committee may also delegate to the officers or employees of the Corporation the administrative authority to execute and deliver those instruments and documents, to do all acts and things, and to take all other steps deemed necessary, advisable or convenient for the effective administration of this Plan in accordance with its terms and purpose. In making any determination or in taking or not taking any action under this Plan, the Board, the Committee and any person to whom authority has been delegated under this Plan may obtain and may rely upon the advice of experts, including professional advisors to the Corporation. No director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation will be liable for any action or determination taken or made or omitted in good faith.
(f) Exculpation and Indemnity. Neither the Corporation nor any member of the Board of Directors or of the Committee, nor any other person participating in any determination under this Plan (including the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or any other officer or employee of the Corporation pursuant to delegated authority under Section 8(e)), or in the interpretation, administration or application of this Plan, will have any liability to any party for any action taken or not taken in good faith under this Plan or for the failure of an Award (or action in respect of an Award) to satisfy Code requirements as to incentive stock options or to realize other intended Tax consequences, to qualify for exemption or relief under Rule 16b-3 or to comply with any other law, compliance with which is not required on the part of the Corporation.
(g) Notices, Signature, Delivery. Whenever a signature, notice or delivery of a document, or acknowledgement of receipt of a document, is required or appropriate under this Plan or pursuant to an Award Agreement, signature, notice, delivery or acknowledgement may be accomplished by paper or written format, or, subject to Section 10(d), by electronic means. In the event electronic means are used for the signature, notice or delivery of a document, or acknowledgement of receipt of a document, the electronic record or confirmation of that signature, notice, delivery or acknowledgement maintained by or on behalf of the Corporation will for purposes of this Plan and any applicable Award Agreement be treated as if it was a written signature, notice or acknowledgement and was delivered in the manner provided herein for a written document.
SECTION 9. Amendment and Termination of this Plan.
The Board of Directors may at any time terminate, suspend or discontinue this Plan. The Board of Directors may amend this Plan at any time, provided that any material amendment to this Plan will not be effective unless approved by the Corporation’s stockholders. For this purpose, a material amendment is any amendment or action that would (i) materially increase the number of shares of Stock available under this Plan or issuable to a Participant (other than a change in the number of shares made pursuant to Section 7); (ii) change the types of awards that may be granted under this Plan; (iii) expand the class of persons eligible to receive awards or otherwise participate in this Plan; or (iv) require stockholder approval pursuant to the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual (so long as the Corporation is a listed company on the New York Stock Exchange) or applicable law. The Committee in its discretion may at any time and in any manner that would be authorized for a new Award under this Plan allow for deviations from the terms of any or all Award Agreements or amend any or all Award Agreements under this Plan, so long as such an action would not require approval of the Corporation’s stockholders if it were an amendment to this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such action by the Board or the Committee will, in any manner adverse to a Participant other than as expressly permitted by the terms of an Award Agreement, affect any Award then outstanding and evidenced by an Award Agreement without the consent in writing of the Participant or a Beneficiary who has become entitled to an Award thereunder.

Additional Information and Other Matters
SECTION 10. Miscellaneous.
(a) Unfunded Plan. This Plan will be unfunded. Neither the Corporation, the Board of Directors nor the Committee will be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by Awards made pursuant to this Plan. Neither the Corporation, the Board of Directors, nor the Committee will be deemed to be a trustee of any amounts to be paid or securities to be issued under this Plan.
(b) Rights of Employees.
(1) No Right to an Award. Status as an Employee will not be construed as a commitment that any one or more Awards will be made under this Plan to an Employee or to Employees generally. Status as a Participant will not entitle the Participant to any additional future Awards.
(2) No Assurance of Employment. Nothing contained in this Plan (or in any other documents related to this Plan or to any Award) will confer upon any Employee or Participant any right to continue in the employ or other service of the Corporation or any Subsidiary or constitute any contract (of employment or otherwise) or limit in any way the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to change a person’s compensation or other benefits or to terminate the employment of a person with or without cause.
(c) Effective Date; Duration. This Plan has been adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and is subject to the approval of the Corporation’s stockholders. This Plan will become effective only upon such stockholder approval (the date of such approval being the “Effective Date”) and will remain in effect until any and all Awards under this Plan have been exercised, converted or terminated under the terms of this Plan and applicable Award Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Award may be granted under this Plan after April 22, 2030, which is the day before the ten-year anniversary of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Award granted under this Plan on or prior to April 22, 2030 may be amended after such date in any manner that would have been permitted prior to such date, except that no such amendment may increase the number of shares of Stock subject to, comprising or referenced in such Award (other than in accordance with Section 7(a)).
(d) Compliance with Laws. This Plan, Award Agreements, and the grant, exercise, conversion, operation and vesting of Awards, and the issuance and delivery of shares of Stock and/or other securities or property or the payment of cash under this Plan, Awards or Award Agreements, are subject to compliance with all applicable federal, state and foreign laws, rules and regulations (including but not limited to federal, state and foreign insider trading, registration, reporting and other securities laws and margin requirements) and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Corporation, be necessary or advisable to comply with all legal requirements. Any securities delivered under this Plan will be subject to such restrictions (and the person acquiring such securities will, if requested by the Corporation, provide such evidence, assurance and representations to the Corporation as to compliance with any thereof) as counsel to the Corporation may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal requirements.
(e) Applicable Law; Forum for Disputes. This Plan, Award Agreements and any related documents and matters will be governed by and in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland (without regard to its provisions regarding choice of law), except as to matters of federal law. Any claim or action filed in connection with this Plan, Award Agreements and any related documents and matters must be brought or filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, unless it is determined that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in which case any such claim or action must be brought or filed in the Circuit Court of Montgomery County in the State of Maryland.
(f) Awards to Participants Outside the United States. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, in order to comply with the laws of other countries in which the Corporation and its Subsidiaries operate or have employees, the Committee will have the authority to modify the terms and conditions of Awards granted to Employees outside the United States to comply with applicable foreign laws, rules and regulations, and to take any action, before or after an Award is made, that it deems necessary or advisable to obtain approval or comply with local government, regulatory, Tax, exemption, approval or other requirements.
(g) Non-Exclusivity of Plan. Nothing in this Plan will limit or be deemed to limit the authority of the Corporation, the Board of Directors or the Committee to grant awards or authorize any other compensation, with or without reference to the Stock, under any other plan or authority.

Appendix B: Definition of Non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) Measures
This Proxy Statement contains Non-GAAP financial measures (as defined by SEC Regulation G). While we believe that these Non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in evaluating Lockheed Martin, this information should be considered supplemental and is not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our definitions for Non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies or analysts.
Segment Operating Profit
Segment Operating Profit represents the total earnings from our business segments before unallocated income and expense, interest expense, other non-operating income and expense, and income tax expense. This measure is used by our senior management in evaluating the performance of our business segments.

Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)
ROIC is defined as net earnings plus after-tax interest expense divided by average invested capital (total equity plus debt) after adjusting total equity by adding back adjustments related to the Corporation’s post-retirement benefit plans. We use ROIC as a performance measure for LTIP and PSUs.

ROIC Calculation ($M) | Three-Year 2017–2019 |
Net Earnings(a) | $ | 4,413 |
Adjustments for DTA Charge(b) | 641 |

ROIC adjusted for Tax Reform | 17.9 | %

(a) | Three-year 2017-2019 values for Net Earnings, Interest Expense and any Return related adjustments reflect average values over the period.

(b) | Net earnings was adjusted for the $1.9 billion deferred tax asset (DTA) charge as reported in December 2017 as a result of the Federal Government’s enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

(c) | Represents after-tax interest expense utilizing the federal statutory rate of 35 percent in 2017, 21 percent in 2018, and 21 percent in 2019. Interest expense is added back to net earnings as it represents the return to debt holders. Debt is included as a component of average invested capital.

(d) | Debt consists of long-term debt, including current maturities, and short-term borrowings (if any).

(e) | The three-year averages are calculated using thirteen quarter point balances at the start of the plan performance period and at the end of each quarter for each of the three-years in the performance period.

(f) | Equity includes non-cash adjustments, primarily to recognize the funded/unfunded status of the Corporation’s benefit plans; and also to normalize for the one-time impact of the DTA noted in footnote (b) above.

(g) | Average Benefit Plan Adjustments reflect the cumulative value of entries identified in the Corporation’s Consolidated Statements of Equity as well as adjusted to normalize for the $2,396M benefit associated with the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-02.

(h) | ROIC was adjusted by 1.34% to normalize for the benefit of the Federal Government's enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in years 2018 and 2019. The 1.34% adjusts ROIC overall to normalize for the benefit of the lower tax rate.

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, affordability initiatives, or the risk of future budget cuts; • 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; • planned production rates for significant programs; compliance with stringent performance and reliability standards; materials availability; • the performance and financial viability of key suppliers, teammates, joint ventures, joint venture partners, subcontractors and customers; • economic, industry, business and political conditions including their effects on governmental policy and government actions that disrupt our supply chain or prevent the sale or delivery of our products (such as delays in obtaining Congressional approvals for exports requiring Congressional notification); • trade policies or sanctions (including Turkey’s removal from the F-35 program, the impact of U.S. Government sanctions on Turkey and potential sanctions on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia); • the Corporation's success expanding into and doing business in adjacent markets and internationally and the differing risks posed by international sales; • changes in foreign national priorities, and foreign government budgets; • the competitive environment for the Corporation’s products and services, including increased pricing pressures, aggressive pricing in the absence of cost realism evaluation criteria, competition from outside the aerospace and defense industry, and bid protests; • 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 and the timing and impact of capitalization changes such as share repurchases and dividend payments; • the Corporation’s ability to recover costs under U.S. Government contracts and changes in contract mix; • the accuracy of the Corporation’s estimates and projections; • timing and estimates regarding pension funding and movements in interest rates and other changes that may affect pension plan assumptions, stockholders' equity, the level of the FAS/CAS adjustment and actual returns on pension plan assets; • the successful operation of joint ventures that we do not control and our ability to recover our investments; • realizing the anticipated benefits of acquisitions or divestitures, joint ventures, teaming arrangements or internal reorganizations; • 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 the Corporation's assets, including the potential impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and inventory recorded as a result of the acquisition of the Sikorsky business and the potential further impairment of its equity investment in Advanced Military Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul Center LLC (AMMROC); • the availability and adequacy of the Corporation’s insurance and indemnities; • the effect of changes in (or in the interpretation of) procurement and other regulations and policies affecting the Corporation's industry, including export of our products, cost allowability or recovery and potential changes to the U.S. Department of Defense’s acquisition regulations relating to progress payments and performance-based payments and a preference for fixed-price contracts; • the Corporation's ability to benefit fully from or adequately protect our intellectual property rights; • the effect of changes in accounting, taxation, or export, laws regulations, and policies and their interpretation or application; and • the outcome of legal proceedings, bid protests, environmental remediation efforts, audits, government investigations or government allegations that the Corporation has 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 differ 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, 2019 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 at www.sec.gov.
The Corporation’s actual financial results likely will be different from those projected due to the inherent nature of projections.

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.
