​

​ | ​ | ​
Christopher E. Kubasik Chair and CEO ​ ​ |  | March 7, 2025 ​ 2024 marked the five-year anniversary of the transformative merger between L3 and Harris. Our strategy was to form a new company with capabilities in all domains – space, air, maritime, land and cyber – and to create more competition in the industry, while offering our customers alternatives to the traditional primes. We have established ourselves as the defense industry’s Trusted Disruptor, and our strategy is delivering tangible results. We continue to shape our portfolio to position the company to support the future of warfare. Since our merger, we divested 13 businesses representing $2B in non-core revenue, while making two acquisitions with $2.7B of strategically aligned revenue. We’ve also invested in over 40 high-tech, dual-use technology (commercial and military) companies. In 2024, we delivered on our financial commitments, driven by our Trusted Disruptor strategy, further advancing us toward our 2026 financial framework. We achieved strong revenue growth, margin expansion, and robust free cash flow generation, underscoring the strength of our leadership team and program performance. Through our transformative LHX NeXt initiative, we exceeded our fiscal 2024 LHX NeXt cost savings target, achieving $800 million. Our record backlog reinforces future growth, driven by key wins in space, missiles, and resilient communications. Strategic partnerships, operational efficiencies, and disciplined, profitable growth continue to drive long-term value for customers and shareholders. L3Harris remains committed to ongoing engagement and an active dialogue with shareholders. Understanding our shareholders’ priorities is crucial for ensuring that we address their interests. Throughout the many interactions with current and prospective shareholders, dialogue centered on operational excellence initiatives, margin expansion opportunities and disciplined allocation of capital. L3Harris anticipates this dialogue will remain a key input in our continued focus on value creation. On behalf of your Board, I am pleased to invite you to attend the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of L3Harris, to be held on Friday, April 18, 2025. The meeting will be virtual-only, held exclusively online to facilitate shareholder attendance and provide a consistent experience to all shareholders regardless of location. The live, interactive audio webcast of the meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LHX2025 will provide the ability for you to vote and submit questions online. Sincerely, Christopher E. Kubasik Chair and CEO

​

BOARD AND GOVERNANCE HIGHLIGHTS

​ | ​ | ​
A HIGHLY ENGAGED AND ACTIVE BOARD Our Board:
> is actively engaged in succession planning, with frequent opportunities to observe and interact with key talent, including at presentations, meetings and other events. > oversees our business strategy, thoroughly reviewing our annual operating plans and three-year strategic plans and providing input and insight on these plans directly to our senior leadership team; also receives regular updates on our progress in executing the plans and on challenges that arise. | ​ | > is regularly briefed on topics of strategic importance to the Company, which may include technology, cybersecurity, risk management and potential opportunities for changes in the Company’s portfolio, such as acquisitions and divestitures. > holds executive sessions of independent directors at every regularly scheduled Board and committee meeting to discuss strategic matters and significant developments without management present.

​

Key Governance Practices

​ | ​ | All directors elected annually with a majority voting standard in uncontested elections. Lead Independent Director broadly empowered with defined responsibilities and authority. Independent directors regularly hold executive sessions led by Lead Independent Director. Board and standing committees conduct annual self-evaluations to improve their effectiveness. Board membership criteria take into account diversity of viewpoints, background, experience and personal characteristics, including age, gender and racial and ethnic minority status. Avoid potential overboarding by allowing no more than three other public company boards (one for an executive officer of a public company) and annually reviewing director commitments under our guidelines. Policy requiring directors to retire at age 75 (except as waived in connection with the Cooperation Agreement (as defined below)). Board reviews and evaluates management development and succession plans.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION HIGHLIGHTS

Our executive compensation philosophy is as follows:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
OVERALL OBJECTIVE | ​ | GUIDING PRINCIPLES | ​ | ​
> Encourage and reward creation of sustainable, long-term shareholder value | ​ | > Align with shareholders’ interests > Be competitive at target performance level > Motivate achievement of financial goals and strategic objectives | ​ | > Align pay with performance > Attract, retain, and motivate top executive talent

​

Target Pay Mix for Fiscal 2024

Target total direct compensation is the sum of base salary, the target annual cash incentive award and the target value of performance share units, stock options and restricted stock units granted as part of our annual cycle of equity-based awards to executive officers. We believe that the greater an executive’s responsibility level and ability to influence results, the greater the portion of the individual’s overall compensation that should be variable, at-risk compensation. The at-risk pay elements include performance-based awards with payouts dependent upon achievement relative to pre-established goals as well as equity awards whose value increases or decreases based upon stock price.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

​

​

​

OUR BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS VOTING FOR ELECTION OF ITS 13 NOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR | ​
> With a variety of backgrounds, skills and experiences and a track record of ability, integrity and judgment, as well as a deep and unique understanding of our business and the challenges and opportunities faced by L3Harris, our Board is well positioned to discharge its responsibilities. > Nominees collectively have broad and diverse leadership experience and many other qualifications, skills and attributes that our Board views as valuable to L3Harris. > Healthy balance of shorter and longer tenures present among nominees, all of whom are independent, except Mr. Kubasik, our Chair and CEO.

​

Our entire Board is elected annually by our shareholders. 13 of our incumbent directors are standing for election at the 2025 Annual Meeting, with our incumbent director William H. Swanson retiring following the 2025 Annual Meeting in accordance with our retirement policy. Each director holds office until the Annual Meeting of Shareholders for the year in which that director’s term expires, and until that director’s successor is elected and qualified, except in the case of death, resignation, retirement or removal from office. In accordance with our By-Laws, a majority of directors then in office may either fill any vacancy on the Board or choose not to fill any such vacancy and instead decrease the size of our Board.

CRITERIA FOR BOARD MEMBERSHIP

GENERAL CRITERIA
Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, our Board selects director nominees based on the recommendation of our Nominating and Governance Committee and the following criteria:
> personal qualities and character, including demonstrated ability and sound judgment; > accomplishments and reputation in the business community or in the individual’s profession, as well as professional integrity, educational background, business experience and other related experience; > willingness to objectively appraise management performance; > current knowledge and contacts in the markets in which we do business and in our industry or other relevant industries, giving due consideration to potential conflicts of interest; |  | > ability and willingness to commit adequate time to Board and committee matters, including attendance at Board, committee and annual shareholder meetings; and the number of other boards of which the individual nominee is a member; > viewpoints, backgrounds, and experiences; and > compatibility of the individual’s experience, qualifications, attributes or skills and personality with those of other directors and potential directors in building a Board that is effective, collegial and responsive to the needs of L3Harris and the interests of our shareholders.

​

Incumbent Nominees

Our Nominating and Governance Committee’s process for considering, reviewing and evaluating incumbent directors as potential nominees for re-election typically is as follows:

| > | Prior to each annual meeting of shareholders, each current director separately discusses the director’s participation on our Board and its committees and other relevant matters with our Board Chair and Lead Independent Director.

| > | Each current director also is requested to discuss any concerns or issues regarding continued membership on our Board with the Chair of our Nominating and Governance Committee.

L3HARRIS 2025 PROXY STATEMENT 7

​ | ​
​ | ​
​ | ​
​ | ​
​ | ​
​ | ​
PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS DIRECTOR NOMINATION PROCESS | ​

​

In addition, our Nominating and Governance Committee reviews each current director’s experience, qualifications, attributes, skills, tenure, contributions, outside commitment levels and other directorships, meeting attendance record, any changes in employment status and other information it deems helpful in considering and evaluating the director for nomination.

Director Time Commitments

Our Nominating and Governance Committee considers the ability and willingness of nominees to commit adequate time to Board and committee matters, including the number of other boards of which the individual nominee is a member. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines reflect the policy of our Board that individuals should limit the number of boards on which they serve so they can give proper attention to their responsibility to each board, specifically by serving on no more than three public company boards in addition to L3Harris (or one public company board in addition to L3Harris in the case of a director who is an executive officer of a public company). Our Corporate Governance Guidelines also limit members of our Audit Committee from serving on the audit committee of more than two other public companies unless the Board determines that such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of such director to effectively serve on our Audit Committee, and we publicly disclose any such determination. Currently, none of our Audit Committee members serve on the audit committees of more than two other public companies.

At least annually and prior to recommending any nominees for election or re-election to our Board, our Nominating and Governance Committee reviews each director’s time commitments for compliance with the limitations set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. In February 2025, our Nominating and Governance Committee confirmed that each of the 13 incumbent directors standing for election at the 2025 Annual Meeting were in compliance with the limitations on director time commitments set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. During their terms, each director is expected to notify the Chair, the Lead Independent Director, the Chair of our Nominating and Governance Committee and our Secretary, as far in advance as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances, of accepting any additional public company directorship or audit committee assignment.

Nominee Pool

Our Board values having a wealth of different experiences as a factor in selecting nominees to serve on our Board. Our Nominating and Governance Committee considers Board membership criteria when selecting a pool of nominees, including different viewpoints, backgrounds, and experiences. However, nomination of a candidate is not based solely on these factors. This process has been successful as we do have a variety of viewpoints, backgrounds, and experiences represented on the board.

DIRECTOR NOMINATION PROCESS

​ | ​ | ​
​ | Our Board is responsible for approving nominees to stand for election as directors. | ​
​ | Our Nominating and Governance Committee: > identifies and evaluates individuals it determines are qualified to join our Board; > may engage search firms to assist in finding qualified and interested candidates and verifying their credentials; > considers properly submitted shareholder recommendations (see page 68); and > provides the Board with nominee recommendations. | ​
​ | ​ | ​

​

Board Refreshment Policies

Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that our Board will consist of not less than 8 or more than 15 directors, the exact number of directors to be determined from time to time by our Board. Under our retirement policy, directors who reach age 75 may not stand for re-election, but may serve out the remainder of their terms. At the time of the 2025 Annual Meeting, six directors (including William H. Swanson, who is retiring and not standing for re-election at the 2025 Annual Meeting) will have left our Board, and five directors will have been added to our Board, as part of our Board’s refreshment efforts since our 2022 Annual Meeting.

We do not impose term limits for directors. However, a director who experiences a significant change in employment status, including retirement from the director’s principal position, must offer to resign. Our Board then determines whether such director’s continued service is still in the best interests of L3Harris and our shareholders, free from conflicts of interest and otherwise appropriate.

VOTING STANDARD FOR ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

To be elected under our majority voting standard, a nominee must receive more “For” votes than “Against” votes. Abstentions and any broker non-votes will have no effect because only votes cast “For” or “Against” a nominee are counted.

Any incumbent nominee who does not receive more “For” votes than “Against” votes must promptly offer to tender their resignation, and our Nominating and Governance Committee will then recommend to our Board whether or not to accept it. Our Board must generally reach a decision and take action within 90 days (subject to compliance with the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) independence or other legal requirements). Our Board will also promptly disclose its decision and rationale.

If our Board does not accept the resignation, the incumbent nominee will continue to serve as a director until a successor is duly elected and qualified, or until the individual’s death, resignation, retirement or removal from office. If our Board accepts the resignation, then a majority of our Board, in its discretion, may either fill the resulting vacancy or choose not to fill the vacancy and instead decrease the size of our Board.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE

Our Board annually reviews its leadership structure to help ensure effective guidance to, and oversight of, management.

​ | ​ | ​
​ | Our Board’s leadership is currently structured as follows: | ​
​ | > a combined position of Chair and CEO; > a Lead Independent Director with well-defined duties that support our Board’s oversight responsibilities; > a robust committee structure comprised solely of independent directors; and > engaged independent Board members who help set the agendas for our Board and committee meetings, conduct candid and constructive discussions and deliberations, have access to management and hold regularly scheduled executive sessions. | ​
​ | ​ | ​

​

Our Board believes that this structure provides for effective independent board leadership and oversight with the appropriate balance between an empowered Lead Independent Director with well-defined responsibilities and a Chair and CEO with responsibilities for day-to-day management, Board leadership and setting long-term strategy.

Chair and CEO Roles

Our Board elects a Chair from among the directors and also may appoint a Vice Chair. The independent directors combine or separate the Chair and CEO positions based on the needs of L3Harris and our shareholders at any particular time.

Our Board is committed to strong corporate governance and appropriate independent oversight of management and believes it would be fundamentally wrong to permanently and inflexibly separate or combine the positions of Chair and CEO. Such a policy, in the Board’s view, would remove its ability to choose the leadership structure that it views as best for L3Harris and our shareholders at a given time based on its unique knowledge of the challenges and opportunities faced by L3Harris.

In light of current facts and circumstances, the independent directors believe it is best to keep the Chair and CEO roles combined at this time.

Lead Independent Director Role

When our Chair is not independent, our independent directors designate one independent director as Lead Independent Director, generally for a one-year term. Currently, our Lead Independent Director is Mr. Millard, who has served in this role since June 29, 2019, with the Board since re-designating him for this role on an annual basis.

Lead Independent Director Responsibilities
​
> Presiding at executive sessions or other meetings where our Chair is not present; > Liaising with our Chair and our independent directors; > Approving, with our Chair, meeting agendas and other information sent to our Board; > Ensuring sufficient time for discussion of all agenda items; > Calling meetings of our independent directors; > Facilitating discussion among the independent directors on key issues and concerns outside of meetings of our full Board; | ​ | > Communicating with major shareholders, if requested, consistent with shareholder communications policies; > Providing timely feedback from executive sessions; > Conducting the annual CEO evaluation process with our Compensation Committee Chair; > Conducting our Board’s annual self-evaluation process and related matters, with the Chair of our Nominating and Governance Committee; and > Guiding the CEO succession planning process.
The designation of a Lead Independent Director is not intended to inhibit communications among directors or with our Chair.

​

Executive Sessions of Independent Directors

The agenda for each regularly scheduled Board and standing committee meeting includes an executive (private) session of independent directors, chaired by our Lead Independent Director.

Self-Evaluations by our Board and Committees

Our Board and its standing committees undertake annual self-evaluations designed to foster continuous improvement in performance and effectiveness. Our Nominating and Governance Committee facilitates our Board’s annual self-evaluation. Our directors are asked to consider areas such as our Board’s role, communications with management and Board composition and meetings, and committee members are asked to consider areas such as the committee’s role, the responsibilities articulated in its charter, its composition and its operation. Self-evaluations may be undertaken utilizing written questionnaires, facilitated discussions or other means, as determined by our Board or the applicable committee. Review and discussion of self-evaluations occurs in an executive session.

Board Committees

Our Board currently has five standing committees: Audit, Compensation, Finance, Innovation and Cyber and Nominating and Governance. Our Board has determined in its business judgment that each committee member is independent within the meaning of applicable NYSE listing standards, including those applicable to Audit Committee and Compensation Committee members, applicable laws and rules and our Director Independence Standards. Each committee regularly reports to our full Board, generally at the next Board meeting.

Our standing committee charters and Corporate Governance Guidelines are available at www.l3harris.com/company/environmental-social-and-governance and upon written request to our Secretary. See Communicating With Our Board of Directors on page 22.

OUR BOARD’S ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Strategy Oversight

Our Board plays an active role in overseeing the formulation and implementation of our overall business strategy. As part of our annual strategic planning process, toward the end of each fiscal year, our senior leadership team and other executives present to our Board Company-wide and segment/sector annual operating plans and three-year strategic plans for the upcoming fiscal year(s). Our Board thoroughly reviews and provides substantive insight and guidance on these plans and, after further review sessions, approves them. Our Board then receives regular updates throughout the year on the progress, challenges and risks with respect to execution of the plans.

Our Board also routinely receives updates on and discusses topics of strategic importance to us, such as technology, cybersecurity, ERM, M&A and portfolio shaping opportunities. Our Board holds executive sessions solely for independent directors at each regularly scheduled Board meeting to discuss strategic matters and other significant business developments.

Risk Oversight

In fulfilling its responsibility to oversee the management of our business and other enterprise risks, our Board has approved an ERM process administered by management, as described below. The Board considers risks and related mitigation, whether risks are identified through the ERM process or raised in the context of matters on which management reports to our Board or one of its committees.

ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS

Our ERM process, among other things, is designed to identify material risks across L3Harris with input from each business segment and function. This process has been reviewed by our Board and is the subject of oversight and regular review by our Audit Committee. However, the responsibility for the day-to-day management of risk lies with our management, which continually monitors the material risks facing L3Harris, including strategic, financial, operational and legal and compliance risks. Under our ERM process, which is coordinated through a cross-functional management committee, various material business risks are regularly identified, assessed and prioritized. The top risks to L3Harris, which are reflected in an enterprise risk “heat map,” and any mitigation plans associated with those risks, are reported to our Board. In addition, our management ERM committee regularly provides reports to our senior executives to ensure dissemination of information about identified risks to management and throughout L3Harris. We also manage risk through numerous controls and processes embedded in our operations, which are reviewed from time to time with our Board and/or its relevant committees.

ALLOCATION OF RISK OVERSIGHT RESPONSIBILITIES

Our Board also considers risks that are raised in the context of various matters that management may bring to the attention of our Board or one of its committees. This activity is carried out through the full Board and its committees based on the nature of the risks being considered, as shown below:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​
| Full Board Company-wide, segment, and sector annual operating plans, three-year strategic plans, cybersecurity, portfolio shaping, market environment, financials, and operations, strategic discussions and as identified by the ERM process. |  |
​ | Each committee reports to our full Board regarding the risks it considers. | ​ | ​
​ | Audit Committee Financial reporting, internal audit, internal control over financial reporting, ethics and compliance, auditor independence and related areas of accounting, taxation, law and regulation. | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | Compensation Committee Compensation policies and practices and talent management and succession planning. | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | Finance Committee Liquidity, financial arrangements, capital structure, ability to access capital markets and the financial and investment aspects of our defined contribution and defined benefit plans. | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | Innovation and Cyber Committee Innovation of technology, new product development, disruptive trends and other risks of gaps in innovation and technology, cyber security and related matters and our classified business activities. | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | Nominating and Governance Committee Corporate governance issues, political advocacy and lobbying, social responsibility, environmental, health and safety matters and export/import controls. | ​ | ​

​

Management Succession Planning

Our Board dedicates at least one meeting each year to a comprehensive review of our management succession strategy and our leadership pipeline for key roles, including the CEO, based on our long-term strategy. The Compensation Committee facilitates this review session, at which the Board:

| > | considers and assesses key leadership talent throughout our Company;

| > | reviews our talent strategy for critical positions, including roles for which it may be necessary to consider external candidates; and

| > | reviews and updates our contingency plans in the event the CEO or another executive officer becomes unable to serve for any reason, including death or disability.

In addition, management conducts periodic talent reviews of all of our business segments and corporate functional areas, including discussion of succession plans for key positions and identification and development of top talent for future leadership roles. These reviews inform and support our Board’s review session.

Our Board also receives regular updates on key talent indicators for our overall workforce, including workforce demographics programs and our broader human capital management strategy, and has regular opportunities to observe key leaders and high-potential talent through presentations, meetings and other events.

Ethics, Compliance and Sustainability Oversight

Our Board has responsibility for overseeing our ethics and compliance programs and our activities related to corporate citizenship, responsibility and sustainability. This oversight is carried out largely through our Audit Committee, which assists our Board in overseeing our ethics and business conduct program, and our Nominating and Governance Committee, which assists our Board in overseeing our environmental, health and safety programs, our political advocacy and lobbying activities and expenditures and our charitable, civic, educational and philanthropic activities. Our Nominating and Governance Committee also monitors and takes appropriate action regarding strategic issues and trends relating to ESG efforts and corporate citizenship and responsibility that could affect our operations, financial performance or public image.

CODE OF CONDUCT

All L3Harris employees, officers and directors are required to abide by our Code of Conduct to help ensure that we consistently conduct our business in an ethical and legal manner. Our Code of Conduct is an important component of a comprehensive ethics and compliance program that includes compliance with all laws and corporate policies and procedures, an open relationship among employees that contributes to good business conduct and an abiding belief that we should conduct all business dealings in an honest and ethical manner.

Our Audit Committee assists our Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibility as to our compliance with the goals and objectives in our Code of Conduct by reviewing and taking action regarding compliance processes, standards and controls and reviewing results of relevant audits and investigations. Our Code of Conduct covers a broad range of topics, including:

> Government investigations and inquires > Fair competition and quality > Government interactions > Promoting transparency > Business courtesies > Avoiding conflicts of interest ​ |  | > Political activities and lobbying > Ethical business practices > Safeguarding assets and information > Technology, including artificial intelligence > Global trade compliance > Communicating L3Harris information and social media |  | > Health and safety > Avoiding harassment and preventing discrimination > Protecting private information > Community relations > Environment, human rights and human trafficking

Employees are required to report any conduct they believe in good faith to be a violation of our Code of Conduct or policies. Our Code of Conduct is available at www.l3harris.com/company/environmental-social-and-governance and also is available by written request. See Communicating With Our Board of Directors on page 22. Any amendment to, or waiver from, our Code of Conduct that is required to be disclosed to shareholders will be posted on our website within four business days following such amendment or waiver.

SUSTAINABILITY — ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE MATTERS

We have a strong commitment to creating a more sustainable future for our society. It is on this foundation we established our comprehensive ESG program that includes a focused strategy and detailed metrics for how we plan to hold ourselves accountable, overseen by our Nominating and Governance Committee.

We also are committed to serving all of our stakeholders — shareholders, customers, employees, suppliers and community partners, among others. As a technology innovator, we strive to deliver solutions that solve our customers’ most mission-critical challenges, while at the same time seeking to address ESG-related issues, including reducing our environmental impact.

For more information about L3Harris’ ESG program and related efforts, refer to the L3Harris Sustainability Report 2024, which will be available at www.l3harris.com/company/environmental-social-and-governance in fiscal 2025, but is not incorporated by reference into this proxy statement.

​

BOARD POLICIES AND PROCESSES

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines address a broad set of issues integral to sound governance:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
> Board composition > Director independence > Selection of Board nominees and leadership positions > Board membership criteria > Majority voting for directors |  | > Director retirement policy > Director time commitments > Director compensation > Meeting schedules and agendas > Executive sessions > Access to management and agendas |  | > Director and management responsibilities > Director orientation and continuing education > Succession planning > Board and committee self-evaluations > Director resignation policy

​

Our Board reviews our Corporate Governance Guidelines at least annually, updating them from time to time as regulatory requirements change and governance practices evolve. Our Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing our Corporate Governance Guidelines and for reporting and making recommendations to our Board concerning corporate governance matters.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines are available at www.l3harris.com/company/environmental-social-and-governance.

Director Independence Standards

Our Board periodically assesses the independence of our directors and examines the nature and extent of any relationships between the Company and our directors, their families and their affiliates. Our Board is guided in this assessment by our Director Independence Standards, available on the Corporate Governance section of our website at www.l3harris.com/company/environmental-social-and-governance.

A director is considered independent if our Board affirmatively determines that the director does not have any direct or indirect material relationship with L3Harris that could impair the director’s independence from management and the Company. When assessing the materiality of a director’s relationship with the Company, our Board considers the issue both from the standpoint of the director and the standpoint of persons or organizations with which the director is affiliated. Material relationships can include commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable and familial relationships, among others.

Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, our Board undertook a review of director independence in February 2025, which included a review of the responses of each director to questions regarding the individual’s relationships, as well as discussions with each director. Based on the NYSE listing standards and our Director Independence Standards, our Board has affirmatively determined in its business judgment that each director, with the exception of Mr. Kubasik, our Chair and CEO, is independent and has no direct or indirect material relationship with L3Harris, other than as a director, that impairs the director’s independence.

Stock Ownership Guidelines for Non-Employee Directors

To further align the interests of our non-employee directors with L3Harris shareholders, our Board has adopted stock ownership guidelines for our non-employee directors. Non-employee directors are expected to:

> | own L3Harris stock or stock equivalent units with a minimum value equal to five times the annual cash retainer for service as a member of our Board; and

> | meet these levels within five years after election or appointment to our Board.

​

Related Person Transactions

Our Board has adopted a written policy and procedures for the review, approval and ratification of transactions among L3Harris and our directors, executive officers, director nominees and their related interests. Our Nominating and Governance Committee reviews all related person transactions and may approve or ratify a related person transaction if, in its business judgment, it determines that the transaction is, or is not inconsistent with, the best interests of L3Harris and our shareholders. Any director involved in an existing or potential related person transaction may not participate in such review.

Under the policy and consistent with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, a related person transaction is any transaction, arrangement or relationship in which L3Harris 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 of our directors, executive officers, nominees for director, any person known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of our common stock, an immediate family member of any person described above and any entity with respect to which any person described above is an employee, is a partner or principal or serves in a similar position, or has 10% or greater beneficial ownership interest.

Each director, nominee and executive officer annually completes a questionnaire to identify the individual’s related interests and persons, and must endeavor to promptly notify us of any changes. Before entering into a potential related person transaction, the related person or involved business area of L3Harris must notify our Secretary, who determines whether it would constitute a related person transaction and should be submitted to the Nominating and Governance Committee. A related person transaction entered into without the Nominating and Governance Committee’s prior approval will not be unenforceable if brought to the committee’s attention promptly after it is entered into or after it becomes apparent that the transaction is covered by our policy, and such transaction is ratified.

Based on holdings reported on Schedule 13F filed with the SEC by BlackRock, Inc. (“Blackrock”) and T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (“T. Rowe Price”), respectively, each beneficially owned more than 5% of our common stock as of December 31, 2024. BlackRock and certain of its affiliates provided asset management services in fiscal 2024 for certain of our defined contribution and defined benefit plans, for which participants paid or will pay approximately $0.1 million, and we paid or will pay approximately $2.0 million. T. Rowe Price and certain of its affiliates provided asset management services in fiscal 2024 for certain of our defined contribution plans, for which participants paid or will pay approximately $4.1 million.

The agreements with each of BlackRock and T. Rowe Price were negotiated on an arm’s-length basis, and the ownership of our common stock plays no role in the business relations between us and BlackRock and T. Rowe Price. In addition, we believe that the agreements represent standard terms and conditions for asset management services. In accordance with our then-existing related person transaction policy, the Harris Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee reviewed, ratified and approved the agreements entered into by Harris with BlackRock and T. Rowe Price.

DIRECTOR ONBOARDING AND EDUCATION

When new directors join our Board, they are provided with background material on L3Harris, its strategy, its business plans, its financial position, its legal affairs and its risk profile. They also meet with senior management and visit some of our key facilities.

Our directors are expected to keep up with issues affecting L3Harris and its industry, and on developments that may affect their general responsibility as directors. Our Board and the Nominating and Governance Committee are also expected to periodically review our Board’s policies and procedures regarding director orientation, and to recommend, as needed, continuing education programs for board members or committee members.

Communicating With Our Board of Directors

GENERAL COMMUNICATIONS

To communicate with an L3Harris Board member, a selected group of Board members, or the full Board:

> | send an e-mail to corporate.secretary@l3harris.com (specifying which Board member(s) you would like to reach); or

> | write to the Board member(s) c/o Secretary, L3Harris Technologies, Inc., 1025 West NASA Boulevard, Melbourne, Florida 32919.

Our Secretary will review your communication and, if it is related to the duties and responsibilities of our Board and its committees, will forward it to the appropriate recipient(s), who will then determine whether it should be shared with other Board members.

Our Secretary will not forward unduly hostile, threatening, illegal or similarly inappropriate communications (such as surveys, spam, junk mail, resumes, service or product inquiries or complaints, solicitations or advertisements). Our Secretary periodically summarizes any unforwarded communications to our Board and makes them available to any director upon request.

ACCOUNTING, INTERNAL CONTROLS, AUDITING AND OTHER MATTERS

Our Audit Committee has established procedures for the handling of complaints and concerns received by L3Harris regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, financial reporting or disclosure matters, and other matters relating to actual, alleged or potential violations of any law, rule or regulation relating to securities or fraud against shareholders. Upon receipt of a complaint or concern, a determination will be made as to whether it pertains to any of these matters, and if so, it will be handled in accordance with these procedures. A copy of the procedures is available at www.l3harris.com/company/environmental-social-and-governance.

​

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

Our director compensation program is intended to attract and retain directors with demonstrated ability, integrity, judgment and experience to fulfill their responsibility to oversee management and to develop and oversee the implementation of strategies aimed at creating sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders. The program also is intended to recognize the time commitments and potential liability associated with serving on the board of a public company.

Our independent directors are not permitted to receive, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fees from us, and we do not compensate any employee director separately for service as a director. Directors do not receive additional fees for meeting attendance.

The form and amount of director compensation is annually reviewed and assessed by our Nominating and Governance Committee. The committee reviews compensation comparison peer group data and broad survey data concerning director compensation practices, levels and trends for companies comparable to us in revenue, businesses and complexity, as supplied by independent compensation consultants. If the committee believes any changes to director compensation are warranted, it makes recommendations to the Board.

Our director compensation program is described below.

Cash and Equity-Based Retainers for Non-Employee Directors

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | Independent | ​ | Committee | ​ | Committee | ​ | Committee

Annual Retainer | ​ | $150,000 cash | ​ | $50,000 cash | ​ | $30,000 cash | ​ | $25,000 cash | ​ | $20,000 cash
​ | ​ | $190,000 equity-based (in the | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | form of director share units) | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

​

Cash compensation: Each cash retainer is payable on a quarterly basis in arrears and is pro-rated if a director does not serve for the entire quarter.

Equity-based compensation. Each year at our Annual Meeting of Shareholders, non-employee directors receive a grant of director share units under our equity incentive plan, which was our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated effective as of August 28, 2020, our “2015 Equity Incentive Plan”) for our directors’ fiscal 2024 annual retainer and will be our 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, adopted at the 2024 annual meeting of shareholders (our “2024 Equity Incentive Plan” and, together with our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, our “Equity Incentive Plans”) in fiscal 2025. The number of shares granted is calculated by dividing the applicable dollar amount shown in the table above by the fair market value of one share of L3Harris common stock on the grant date (rounded down to the nearest whole share). Generally, these director share units fully vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant date, subject to the director’s continued service and the particular terms and conditions of the grant, and upon vesting, are paid in shares of L3Harris common stock (subject to deferral, as described below). If a non-employee director joins the Board after an Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the award is pro-rated based on the portion of the year for which the director serves.

Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors

On June 29, 2019, our Board adopted the L3Harris Technologies, Inc. 2019 Non-Employee Director Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Director Plan”), an unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation plan for the benefit of our non-employee directors, which became effective December 31, 2019.

Under this plan, each non-employee director of L3Harris may elect in advance to defer all or a portion of cash retainer fees to be earned, and of director share units to be granted, in the next calendar year or in subsequent years (special rules govern the timing of deferral elections by new non-employee directors who join our Board after a calendar year has commenced).

Any cash retainer deferred by a director will be credited as deferred units to the director’s account as of the date the retainer would have otherwise been paid. Each deferred unit is equivalent in value to one share of L3Harris common stock, and the number of units credited will be equal to the cash amount deferred as of such date, divided by the fair market value of L3Harris common stock on such date. Any director share unit award deferred by a director will be credited as deferred units to the director’s account on the date on which the director share units vest.

Each deferred unit is credited with dividend equivalents equal to dividends paid on L3Harris common stock, which are deemed reinvested in additional deferred units on the dividend payment date. Deferred units will be appropriately adjusted if there is a change in the value of L3Harris common stock due to a transaction or event such as a merger, consolidation, combination, stock dividend or stock split.

Payment will be made in shares of L3Harris common stock equal to the number of deferred units credited to the director’s account, including any fractional deferred units. A director may elect to receive deferred amounts either in a lump sum, or in up to 10 annual installments, with either the lump sum payment or first installment paid within 90 days after the individual’s resignation or retirement. Beneficiaries receive a lump sum death benefit in the event of the former director’s death. Upon a change in control (as defined in our Equity Incentive Plans), and to the extent permitted by Federal tax laws, each non-employee director (or former non-employee director) will receive a cash lump sum equal to the number of deferred units credited to the individual’s account on the date of the change in control, multiplied by the fair market value of one share of L3Harris common stock on such date. If payment following a change in control is not permitted by Federal tax laws, then payment will be made as if a change in control had not occurred.

Reimbursement, Insurance and Charitable Gift Matching

We pay or reimburse each non-employee director for travel and out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with attending Board and committee meetings, other meetings on our behalf, and director education programs. On occasion, spouses or guests are invited to accompany directors to Board-related events, and we cover their travel and related expenses.

We also provide each non-employee director with accidental death and dismemberment insurance of up to $200,000 and business travel insurance of up to an additional $200,000 in the event that the individual is involved in an accident while traveling on business relating to our affairs, and we pay the premiums for such insurance. The premiums for coverage during fiscal 2024 for all non-employee directors collectively amounted to less than $1,000. We also provide liability insurance coverage and indemnity for all of our directors and officers.

Non-employee directors may participate in our charitable gift matching program, under which our foundation matches contributions to eligible educational institutions and tax-exempt organizations up to an annual maximum of $10,000 per director.

(1) | Reflects total cash compensation earned in fiscal 2024 for Board, committee chair and Lead Independent Director retainers.

(2) | Reflects the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) with respect to director share units awarded for fiscal 2024.

Under ASC 718, the fair value of the director share unit awards was determined as of the grant date or grant dates using the closing market price of L3Harris common stock on the grant date. These amounts reflect our accounting for these awards and do not necessarily correspond to the actual values that may be realized by directors.

As of January 3, 2025, each of our non-employee directors had approximately 938.05 unvested director share units (including accrued reinvested dividend equivalents), other than Messrs. Hachigian and Swanson, who had 1,237.14, and Mr. Regnery, who had 392.93. As of January 3, 2025, deferred units accumulated by current directors under the Director Plan from deferrals of cash compensation and director share units, as applicable, including additional deferred units credited as a result of dividend equivalents earned, were as follows: Ms. Geraghty - 687.65, Mr. Harris - 874.14, Mr. Hay — 3,401.68, Ms. Lane — 3,401.68, Mr. Millard — 8,055.17 and Ms. Zamarro — 2,307.33.

PROPOSAL 2: ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

​

​

OUR BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS VOTING FOR APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT. |
> Executive compensation decisions were made by independent directors and our Compensation Committee. > Executive compensation for fiscal 2024 reflected pay-for-performance alignment with our current operating environment and results. > Our executive compensation program helped attract talented, experienced executives to drive future results.

​

As at past Annual Meetings and as required by Federal securities law, we are asking our shareholders to vote on a non-binding, advisory basis, to approve the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement. The list of named executive officers appears on the next page. We encourage you, before voting, to review this entire proxy statement, and particularly the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section on pages 26-42, the “Compensation Tables” section on pages 44-56.

The overall objective of our executive compensation program is to encourage and reward the creation of sustainable, long-term shareholder value. Our guiding principles summarized below provide a framework for our executive compensation program to meet this objective. Specifically, our program is designed to:

> Align with shareholders’ interests > Be competitive at target performance level > Motivate achievement of financial goals and strategic objectives | ​ | > Align pay with performance > Attract, retain, and motivate top executive talent

​

Payouts on our at-risk compensation aligned with our short-term and long-term incentive compensation plan goals and the interests of our shareholders. Additionally, we believe our competitive compensation and benefits have attracted talented, experienced executives to our team to drive future results and execution. We will continue to work to attract, appropriately reward and retain executives to grow and advance our Trusted Disruptor strategy.

Please note that your vote on this proposal is not intended to address any specific element of compensation; rather, it relates to the overall compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement under SEC rules. Also, the vote is advisory, which means that the results are not binding on us. However, the independent directors of our Board and our Compensation Committee, which are responsible for designing and administering our executive officer compensation program, value the opinions expressed by our shareholders and will consider the voting results when making future decisions regarding compensation for our named executive officers.

Shareholders will be voting on the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the shareholders of L3Harris Technologies, Inc. hereby approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers as disclosed in the L3Harris Technologies, Inc. proxy statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Fiscal 2024 Summary Compensation Table and other related tables and accompanying footnotes and narratives.”

We currently hold our advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers (“Say-on-Pay vote”) annually. Shareholders have an opportunity to cast an advisory vote on the frequency of the Say-on-Pay vote at least every six years, and the next advisory vote on the frequency of the Say-on-Pay vote will be at our 2029 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Fiscal 2024 Business Environment

L3Harris is the Trusted Disruptor in the defense industry. With customers’ mission-critical needs always in mind, our employees deliver end-to-end technology solutions connecting the space, air, land, sea and cyber domains in the interest of national security.

Our customers recognize us for being agile, fast, and aligned with their priorities, with the ability to deliver the right capabilities at the right time and meet the evolving needs of our nation and its allies. Our flexible business model allows us to operate as either a prime, sub, or merchant supplier, using both commercial pricing and traditional government acquisition methods. This approach, along with our platform-agnostic technologies and solutions, gives us a unique advantage in rapidly adapting to the changing threat environment while effectively partnering with new entrants in the defense arena.

Fiscal 2024 Operational Performance and Financial Results

2024 was a year of significant accomplishments, as we delivered on our financial commitments, underscoring our agility and position as the defense industry’s Trusted Disruptor, and achieved a record backlog of $34 billion. These results reflect our alignment with customer priorities, driving strong demand across all domains. Through our LHX NeXt initiative, we exceeded our fiscal 2024 LHX NeXt cost savings target, achieving $800 million.

KEY FULL FISCAL YEAR 2024 Financial RESULTS VS. FULL FISCAL YEAR 2023 Financial RESULTS

The financial data below highlight measures critical to achieving our key strategic priorities and driving positive results for our shareholders. Our Board and Compensation Committee selected many of these performance measures for our incentive compensation plans in order to drive performance towards these priorities and deliver on our commitments to shareholders. The results for these measures exceeded targets on corporate financial performance metrics, including those used in our cash incentive compensation determinations for fiscal 2024.

“SAY-ON-PAY” RESULTS AND ENGAGEMENT ON COMPENSATION MATTERS

At our 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and in each Say-on-Pay advisory vote since the Merger, at least 92% of the shares voted in support of our executive compensation and related disclosures. Our Compensation Committee viewed those voting results as evidence of broad shareholder support for our executive compensation program and policies.

As described in the “Shareholder Engagement” section on page 5, we continuously seek shareholder views and input on our executive compensation program. Input received from our large shareholders influenced our determinations to begin using TSR measured on a relative basis (“Relative TSR”) as an equally-weighted core measure for long-term incentive compensation in 2024 to further align management with shareholders and to begin using segment operating margin for our annual cash incentive for fiscal 2024.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ELEMENTS OF OUR COMPENSATION PROGRAM

​

ELEMENTS OF OUR COMPENSATION PROGRAM

The overall objective of our compensation program is to encourage and reward the creation of sustainable, long-term shareholder value.

Our Compensation Committee believes that the major elements of our executive compensation program further this objective. They directly align the interests of our executives and shareholders, are competitive, motivate achievement of our short- and long-term financial goals and strategic objectives, and align realized pay with performance.

Overview of Main Pay Elements for Fiscal 2024

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
| ​ |  | Pay Element |  | Form of Compensation |  | ​ | Purpose |
​ | FIXED | ​ | Base Salary | ​ | Cash | ​ | ​ | Intended to provide a stable portion of income to attract and retain executive talent. | ​
​ | VARIABLE | ​ | Annual Incentive AT-RISK | ​ | Cash | ​ | ​ | Motivates our executives to focus on achieving or exceeding pre-determined short-term financial targets and individual objectives strategically chosen to align with the interests of our shareholders. | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | Long-term Incentive AT-RISK | ​ | Performance share units (50%) | ​ | ​ | Motivate our executives to achieve long-term financial and operating goals. As the majority of each named executive officer’s total equity grant is performance based, the ultimate value each named executive officer realizes at the end of the three-year performance period is highly correlated with company performance. | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | Stock options (25%) | ​ | ​ | Motivate our executives to increase shareholder value. Executives only realize benefits if share price exceeds the exercise price. Options vest in equal installments on the first, second and third anniversaries following the grant date with a ten-year term. | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | Restricted stock units (25%) | ​ | Primarily facilitate retention and succession planning. The restricted stock units cliff vest after a three-year period. | ​ | ​

​

Base Salary

Our Compensation Committee reviews executive base salaries early in each fiscal year and whenever there is a substantial change in an executive’s responsibilities or in market conditions. Generally, our Compensation Committee targets an executive officer’s base salary to approximate the market median for comparable positions at companies in our compensation comparison peer group. In addition to the competitive considerations discussed on page 40-41, an executive’s base salary is influenced by the individual’s experience, position, responsibilities, tenure, contributions and individual performance, as well as current business conditions and our business outlook. Executive base salaries are not subject to automatic annual adjustments.

The table below shows the fiscal 2024 base salary for each named executive officer, including a comparison with fiscal 2023.

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ |  | Fiscal 2023 Annual |  | Fiscal 2024 Annual |  | ​ |  | ​
​ | ​ | Base Salary* | ​ | Base Salary* | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | $ | ​ | $ | ​ | % Change | ​ | Reason for Change
Mr. Kubasik |  | 1,550,000 | ​ | 1,550,000 | ​ | 0.0% | ​ | n/a
Mr. Bedingfield |  | 850,000 | ​ | 875,000 | ​ | 2.9% | ​ | merit/market

Mr. Zoiss |  | 725,000 | ​ | 750,000 | ​ | 3.4% | ​ | merit/market

​

* | For actual base salary amounts paid for fiscal 2024 and prior periods, see the “Salary” column of the Fiscal 2024 Summary Compensation Table on page 44.

​

Annual Cash Incentive

We provide our executive officers the opportunity to earn annual cash incentive compensation under our Annual Incentive Plan (as amended and restated effective as of August 28, 2020, our “Annual Incentive Plan”). Awards under this plan are structured to provide payouts ranging from 0% to 200% of pre-established award target values, depending on our performance against specific pre-determined financial performance measures. For executives, this structure creates the upside potential of above-target payouts if our financial performance is above target, and the downside risk of below-target payouts if our financial performance is below target.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ELEMENTS OF OUR COMPENSATION PROGRAM

​

AWARD TARGET VALUES

An award target value for the annual cash incentive is set for each executive officer early in the fiscal year. For our named executive officers, the target value is typically set using our compensation comparison peer group’s data as a reference point (if available for a comparable position) and/or other broad compensation market data, including surveys. The independent directors of our Board (based on the recommendation of our Compensation Committee) set the target values for our CEO, and our Compensation Committee sets the target values for other executive officers. For our named executive officers, target values generally are set as a percentage of base salary. Cash incentive award target values for fiscal 2024 were unchanged from fiscal 2023 as a percentage of base salary.

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ |  | Fiscal 2023 Cash |  | Fiscal 2024 Cash |
​ | ​ | Incentive Target Value | ​ | Incentive Target Value | ​
​ | ​ | $ | ​ | $ | ​
Mr. Kubasik |  | 3,100,000 | ​ | 3,100,000 | ​
Mr. Bedingfield |  | 850,000 | ​ | 875,000 | ​
Mr. Mehta |  | 725,000 | ​ | 750,000 | ​
Mr. Rambeau |  | 725,000 | ​ | 750,000 | ​
Mr. Zoiss |  | 725,000 | ​ | 750,000 | ​

​

PERFORMANCE MEASURES

The graphic below shows the five financial performance measures and relative weighting for fiscal 2024 awards under our Annual Incentive Plan. After considering shareholder feedback, our Board and Compensation Committee chose these performance measures, and their relative weighting based on their business judgment that the measures would incentivize performance against our key strategic priorities and our annual operating plan for fiscal 2024 and align with the interests of our shareholders. For fiscal 2024, our Board and Compensation Committee added adjusted segment operating margin and strategic goals (LHX NeXT cost savings for fiscal 2024), weighted at 10% each, and decreased the weighting of adjusted EBIT from 30% to 20% and revenue from 20% to 10%. LHX NeXt, announced in 2023, is a strategic, three-year initiative designed to accelerate enterprise transformation. The focus is on enhancing agility and performance by leveraging the scale of the enterprise, strengthening relationships, streamlining operations, optimizing the supply chain, and driving cross-segment collaboration. LHX NeXt has delivered tangible benefits to date and will continue to do so throughout the program. Given its significance, LHX NeXt has been incorporated as a key performance metric for 2024. Additionally, Segment Operating Margin was added to reflect a continued focus on margin expansion, in line with feedback from top shareholders.

​ | ​ | ​ |  | ​ | ​
Adjusted Free Cash Flow (50%) Adjusted Free Cash Flow measures how much cash we generate after accounting for capital expenditures such as buildings or equipment and merger, acquisition and severance expenses. This can be used for expansion, dividends, reducing debt, pension funding or other purposes. We can influence adjusted free cash flow by accelerating the receipt of cash, improving payment terms, reducing inventory, timely invoicing, increasing selling prices of products and services and reducing expenses. | ​ ​ | ​ | Adjusted EBIT (20%) Adjusted EBIT measures our ability to generate enough earnings to be profitable, pay down debt and fund ongoing operations after adjusting for significant and/or non-recurring items included in our operating income (see Appendix A). Our adjusted EBIT improves when we grow revenue while reducing costs and operating expenses, improving procurement practices, increasing efficiencies within our businesses and achieving operational excellence. | ​ | Revenue (10%) ​ Revenue measures what we generate from the delivery of products and services to our customers. We can have an impact on revenue generation by improving market share, introducing new products, enhancing program execution, entering new markets and pricing effectively.

​

Adjusted Segment Operating Margin (10%) Adjusted segment operating margin measures how much profit we make on a dollar of sales after paying for variable costs of production and certain overhead charges, such as wages and raw materials, but before FAS/CAS operating adjustment*, corporate expenses, other unallocated items, non-operating income/expense, interest or tax. It represents how efficiently we are able to generate profit through our core operations. |  | Strategic Goals - LHX NeXt Cost Savings (10%) LHX NeXt Cost Savings measures annual gross run rate savings driven by our LHX NeXt transformation initiative. It is an operational measure that includes savings from initiatives related to labor and function optimization, direct and indirect procurement, and infrastructure expected to recur on an ongoing basis.

*Represents the difference between the service cost component of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) pension and Other Postretirement Benefits (“OPEB”) income or expense and total U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (“CAS”) pension and OPEB cost.

We apply these financial measures to L3Harris as a whole and to our four business segments. For corporate executives, such as Mr. Kubasik and Mr. Bedingfield in 2024, payouts are based 100% on consolidated L3Harris results. Payouts for our other named executive

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ELEMENTS OF OUR COMPENSATION PROGRAM

​

officers, who were segment presidents in 2024 — Messrs. Mehta, Rambeau and Zoiss — are based 50% on segment results and 50% on consolidated L3Harris results. The LHX NeXt cost savings is measured at the L3Harris consolidated level only, and is applied equally to corporate and segment executives.

PERFORMANCE TARGETS AND PAYOUT PERCENTAGES

The independent directors of our Board (based on the recommendation of our Compensation Committee, in the case of our CEO), and our Compensation Committee (in the case of other executive officers), seek to establish targets for our financial performance measures at levels we believe require significant effort on the part of executives, but also represent a reasonable expectation of financial results based on prior-year performance, existing business conditions, the markets in which we participate and our outlook. We established performance ranges for our consolidated L3Harris and individual segment results, whereby payouts are interpolated on a linear basis between threshold and maximum performance.

DETERMINING PAYOUTS

Payouts for performance-based, cash incentive compensation under our Annual Incentive Plan, are determined based on formulaic calculations of our results against the targets. These preliminary results may be further adjusted based on assessments by the independent directors of our Board (for the CEO) and by the Compensation Committee (for other executive officers) of performance relative to pre-determined objectives for the fiscal year.

Results and Payout Percentages for Fiscal 2024

The table below shows targets and results for each financial performance measure for L3Harris as well as for our Space & Airborne Systems, Integrated Mission Systems and Communication Systems segments*. It also shows how we used those results to calculate weighted payout percentages for annual cash incentive awards under our Annual Incentive Plan. Targets for financial performance measures were set above prior year actual performance, by an average of 6%, reflecting our philosophy of setting rigorous targets to incentivize year over year growth.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ELEMENTS OF OUR COMPENSATION PROGRAM

​

(1) | For comparability of performance targets with full-year results due to a divestiture of a business during fiscal 2024 impacting L3Harris and Space & Airborne Systems, L3Harris and Space & Airborne Systems were decreased by excluding, as applicable, the pro-rata amounts for the divested business’ adjusted free cash flow, adjusted EBIT, revenue and segment operating margin attributable to the remainder of fiscal 2024 following the applicable divestiture date, based on our original fiscal 2024 annual operating plan. Additionally, as the originally approved targets only included two quarters of Commercial Aviation Systems in anticipation of the divestiture, which did not close in 2024, L3Harris and Integrated Mission Systems’ adjusted free cash flow, adjusted EBIT, revenue and segment operating margin targets were increased, as applicable, to include third and fourth quarter amounts from the annual operating plan.

(2) | Calculations are based on our financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted as permitted under our Annual Incentive Plan in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting us or our financial statements. These adjustments are made in accordance with pre-established guidelines. See Appendix A for reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.

Payouts for Fiscal 2024

The table below shows how the weighted payout percentages in the previous table were used to determine payouts for our named executive officers, linking their annual cash incentive award payouts under our Annual Incentive Plan to our fiscal 2024 results for each pre-established financial performance measure.

​

* | We value performance share units based on the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date, which differs from the valuation method required for calculating amounts shown in the “Stock Awards” column of the Summary Compensation Table on page 44, and we value restricted stock units and options using the grant date fair value method, consistent with the valuation method required for calculating amounts shown in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns of the Summary Compensation Table on page 44.

Types and Mix of Equity-Based Compensation for Named Executive Officers for Fiscal 2024

The target values for fiscal 2024 annual cycle awards were allocated as follows:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
50% |  | 25% |  | 25%
as performance share units | ​ | as stock options | ​ | as restricted stock units

​

This equity-based compensation mix was determined after considering relevant data for our compensation comparison peer group, the retention value of each type of equity-based compensation and other factors important to us, including linking incentive compensation to performance, tax and accounting treatment, anticipated effects on mitigating shareholder dilution, and the recommendations of Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (“FW Cook”), our Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant. For further information related to grants to our named executive officers of fiscal 2024 annual compensation cycle equity-based awards and related terms and conditions, see the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal 2024 Table on page 47 and related notes.

OUR PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS

Establishing the Performance Measures

Early in the first fiscal year of each multi-year performance period (generally three years), we establish specific financial performance measures and their relative weighting and associated targets and thresholds, which serve as the basis for measuring how we perform and for determining payouts. The independent directors of our Board (based on the recommendation of our Compensation Committee, in the case of our CEO), and our Compensation Committee (in the case of other executive officers), establish the measures for our CEO and other executive officers, which have typically been the same.

The graphic below shows the financial performance measures and their relative weighting for the fiscal 2024-2026 cycle performance share units granted in fiscal 2024 to named executive officers under our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, as approved early in fiscal 2024 in accordance with the discussion above.

Performance Measures, Weighting and Rationale for Fiscal 2024-2026 Cycle Performance Share Unit Awards

​ | ​ | ​
33% 3-Year Cumulative EPS | 33% 3-Year Average ROIC | 33% Relative TSR
EPS is an indicator of profitability, often considered an important factor in determining share price, impacted by our operating income, our tax rate and the number of shares outstanding. Calculated for the 3-year cumulative performance period as follows: net income (after tax) from continuing operations / diluted weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding | Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) is an indicator of efficiency in using capital to generate returns (allocating capital to profitable investments). Calculated for the 3-year performance period as follows: net operating profit (after tax)/(debt + equity + minority interest – cash) | TSR measures cumulative value to shareholders through stock price appreciation and dividends. Relative TSR compares our TSR ranking with the rankings of other companies in the S&P 500 (a broad market index of companies with which we compete for shareholder investment) and a TSR performance peer group (a custom peer group of companies more closely aligned with our industry), each weighted equally at 50%). Calculated for the 3-year performance period as follows: (ending average stock price – beginning average stock price) / beginning average stock price

​

Payouts for our named executive officers are subject to adjustment of up to +/- 25% based on achievement of adjusted segment operating margin in 2026, with total payout not to exceed 200%.

TSR Performance Peer Group

In February 2024, our Compensation Committee approved the TSR performance peer group below for the fiscal 2024 - 2026 cycle Performance Share Unit Awards:

E Ss | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
BAE Systems plc | ​ | Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. | ​ | Northrop Grumman Corporation
Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp. | ​ | Leidos Holdings, Inc. | ​ | Science Applications International Corp.
CACI International Inc. | ​ | Leonardo S.p.A. | ​ | Textron Inc.
General Dynamics Corporation | ​ | Lockheed Martin Corporation | ​ | Thales S.A.

​

The TSR performance peer group was added as a second comparator group for our Relative TSR measure to emphasize performance compared to companies more closely aligned with our industry.

Determining Payouts

Payouts for the multi-year performance period that concludes at the end of the relevant fiscal year, are based on formulaic calculations of our financial results against pre-determined targets for such performance period. Performance share unit awards generally are structured to provide payouts in shares of our common stock ranging from 0% to 200% of the target number of units granted under such awards.

Relationship Between Performance Targets and Payout Percentage for Fiscal 2024-2026 Cycle Performance Share Units

In our long-term incentive plans, balancing transparency with protecting competitive interests is crucial. While we value providing our shareholders with meaningful information, we have strategically decided not to disclose forward-looking targets on our long-term financial performance measures in our proxy statements for the following reasons:

| > | Competitive advantage: Disclosing targets could reveal strategic plans to competitors, undermining our competitive position;

| > | Market sensitivity: Such disclosures are based on assumptions sensitive to market conditions and internal developments, potentially leading to confusion and potential misinterpretation by investors and analysts;

| > | Confidential business information: Forward-looking targets often involve proprietary information. Keeping these details confidential protects our business strategies, and;

| > | Focus on performance outcomes: We emphasize performance outcomes and strategic milestones. This proxy statement details the metrics used to evaluate performance, aligning executive compensation with shareholder value and ensuring accountability and transparency.

Our target-setting process for long-term incentive plans is as rigorous as for short-term plans, incentivizing year-over-year growth and sustained performance with challenging, yet achievable, targets. Financial performance targets are disclosed after the performance period ends.

The table below shows how varying levels of performance for each performance measure results in different payout percentages for fiscal 2024-2026 cycle performance share units.

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
2024 - 2026 Performance Goals

Payout of Fiscal 2022-2024 Cycle Performance Share Unit Awards

The fiscal 2022-2024 cycle performance share unit awards were based on the same performance measures as the fiscal 2024-2026 cycle performance share unit awards described above, except that 3-year Cumulative EPS and 3-year Average ROIC were weighted equally at 50%, and they had a TSR performance adjustment of up to +/- 20% as compared to that of the S&P 500 (not a core metric), and there was no adjusted segment operating margin performance adjustment.

The targets and outcomes of the fiscal 2022-2024 measurement period are below:

​

(1) | ROIC and EPS are non-GAAP financial measures. Calculations are based on our financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted as permitted under our Equity Incentive Plans in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting us or our financial statements. These adjustments are made in accordance with pre-established guidelines. See Appendix A for reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for each of the 3 years.

(2) | The 3-year target for ROIC remained constant at 16% for each fiscal year during the three-year performance period and is not adjusted.

The 3-year cumulative EPS target represents the sum of the EPS targets set by our Compensation Committee for each of fiscal 2022, fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2024 that were adjusted as follows: (i) the fiscal 2022 target of $13.65 was adjusted to $13.19 to reflect the impact of divestitures, net of share buybacks with divestiture proceeds, and accounting regulatory changes related to pension adjustments; (ii) the fiscal 2023 target of $14.65 was adjusted to $13.99 to reflect the impact of divestitures, acquisitions, net of share buybacks with divestiture proceeds, and accounting regulatory changes related to pension adjustments; and (iii) the fiscal 2024 target of $15.85 was adjusted to $15.23 to reflect the impact of divestitures, acquisitions, net of share buybacks with divestiture proceeds, and accounting regulatory changes related to pension adjustments.

(3) | The 3-year cumulative EPS target reflects adjustments from the original target of $44.15 for acquisitions, divestitures, share buybacks with divestiture proceeds, and accounting regulatory changes. See Appendix A for details.

(4) | For the 2022-2024 performance period, the Company’s percentile rank of the companies in the S&P 500 was 48th with a TSR of 10.03%.

Mr. Kubasik | ​ | 24,625 | ​ | 26,374
Mr. Zoiss |  | 4,711 | ​ | 5,046

​

STOCK OPTIONS

Stock options granted to our executive officers typically have the following terms:

| > | Exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the grant date;

| > | Vesting in equal installments of one-third each on the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date, subject to the recipient’s continued employment on such anniversary (except for certain new-hire grants described below);

| > | Expiration 10 years from the grant date; and

| > | “Double trigger” accelerated vesting following a change in control.

Stock options may not be repriced, replaced, modified or regranted through cancellation if the effect thereof would be to reduce the exercise price of such stock options, except with prior approval of our shareholders, or in connection with a change in our capitalization, including spin-offs. Our Compensation Committee and Board, however, have discretion to set the exercise price of stock options higher than the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

Awards of restricted stock units, as noted above, are made primarily for retention purposes and as a recruitment mechanism to replace the value of equity awards that an executive may have forfeited upon leaving a former employer. They are granted to all executive officers, including our named executive officers.

These awards typically have 3-year “cliff” vesting, except for certain new-hire grants, meaning that the entire grant will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date if the recipient remains employed with L3Harris. Restrictions on these awards, which typically expire at the end of a three-year period, provide that the shares or units may not be sold or otherwise transferred and will be immediately forfeited if the recipient’s employment ends for any reason other than involuntary termination without cause, voluntary resignation for good reason (in certain limited circumstances), death, disability or retirement.

NEW-HIRE GRANTS

Effective December 11, 2023, Kenneth L. Bedingfield was named Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of L3Harris. In connection with this hire, Mr. Bedingfield and L3Harris entered into an employment offer letter agreement (the “Bedingfield Offer Letter Agreement”), which provided for a one-time grant of 45,000 three-year cliff vesting non-qualified stock options in fiscal 2024, which was made on February 1, 2024. See the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal 2024 Table on page 47.

Long-term disability coverage > offers 60% of “eligible compensation” before offsets for Social Security and certain other Company or government-provided disability or other benefits > “eligible compensation” is capped at $400,000 per year under the plan > supplemental benefit of 50% of eligible compensation above $400,000 and up to $800,000, for a maximum supplemental benefit of $200,000 per year. | ​ | Most U.S.-based employees (including executive officers)

​

PERQUISITES

We do not provide excessive perquisites, and those provided to our named executive officers in fiscal 2024 represented a small portion of total compensation. (See the “All Other Compensation” column in the Fiscal 2024 Summary Compensation Table on page 44.)

Board-elected or appointed officers are eligible for:

| > | Company-paid annual physical examinations (our Compensation Committee believes this is in the interest of our Company because the health of our executive officers is critical to their performance); and

| > | Company-paid financial planning and advice, and Federal and state tax preparation services, provided by a designated third party (executives are responsible for paying any tax on income imputed for such services).

Primarily for our CEO’s personal security, our Compensation Committee has authorized limited personal use of Company-owned aircraft by our CEO and his family members and guests. This also allows him to minimize and more effectively use his travel time in consideration of the time demands he faces. Our Compensation Committee sets limits on the hours of the CEO’s personal use, and these limits are reviewed annually. In fiscal 2024, Mr. Kubasik’s personal use of Company-owned aircraft fell below these limits. The CEO is responsible for paying the tax on income imputed for personal use of our aircraft. In very limited instances as approved by our CEO, we also may provide limited personal use of Company-owned aircraft for other executives, in which case the executive is also responsible for paying the tax on income imputed.

In addition, we provide Mr. Kubasik with a car and driver to ensure his safety, security and productivity. We may also provide security during travel as warranted by the circumstances. Our Compensation Committee believes this also helps him spend more of his travel time on critical Company business.

The Board has reviewed the security measures in place for the CEO, including those outlined above, and believes they are appropriate given our status as a defense contractor and the current heightened security risks.

We do not provide tax reimbursement or gross-up payments with respect to any perquisites provided solely to executive officers. However, tax gross-up payments pursuant to a plan, policy or arrangement covering a broad base of management employees, such as a relocation or tax equalization policy, are permitted.

RETIREMENT PLANS

Tax-Qualified Plans

We maintain the L3Harris Retirement Savings Plan (“RSP”), a tax-qualified, 401(k) defined contribution retirement plan available to most of our U.S.-based employees, including our named executive officers. Subject to applicable limits under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), participants may generally contribute up to 70% of eligible compensation. In general, after one year of service we will make a matching contribution of up to 6% of eligible compensation contributed by a participant.

Non-Qualified Supplemental Plans

To the extent their contributions to our RSP are subject to Internal Revenue Code limits, certain of our salaried employees, including our named executive officers, may elect to participate in our Excess Retirement Savings Plan (“ERSP”), an unfunded, non-qualified defined contribution retirement plan.

The value of Company contributions credited to our named executive officers’ accounts under the RSP and ERSP is shown in the “All Other Compensation” column in the Fiscal 2024 Summary Compensation Table on page 44.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

Letter Agreement with Mr. Kubasik

On February 23, 2024, we entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Kubasik (“Kubasik Letter Agreement”) to replace his prior agreement that expired on June 29, 2023 (the “Expired Agreement”).

The Kubasik Letter Agreement provides Mr. Kubasik with the following compensation and benefits in the event of his termination without cause or resignation for good reason prior to March 31, 2028, other than a termination following a change in control covered by the L3Harris Executive Change in Control Severance Plan (“CIC Severance Plan”) or retirement in accordance with our equity terms and conditions:

| > | a lump sum cash payment equal to 2x of his base salary and target bonus, in lieu of severance entitlements under any other severance program maintained by the company that would otherwise be applicable;

| > | pro-rata portion of his Annual Incentive Plan payout for the year of termination based on actual corporate and financial performance for the full year (without any adjustments for individual performance);

| > | continued participation in our group medical, dental and vision plans for 2 years;

| > | professional finance and tax planning assistance services for the balance of the calendar year in which the termination occurs and the calendar year thereafter;

| > | immediate vesting of a pro-rata portion of any previously unvested time-vesting restricted stock units, restricted stock and stock options granted on or after February 23, 2024, with any vesting stock options remaining exercisable through the original option term date, subject to execution of a release and any delay required under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”); and

| > | vesting of a pro-rata portion of any previously unvested performance stock units and performance stock granted on or after February 23, 2024 at the end of the applicable performance period, based on actual performance results for the full performance period, subject to execution of a release and any delay required under Section 409A.

Separately, our Compensation Committee has also authorized an extension of our CEO’s eligibility to receive up to $1,250,000 for relocation-related expenses until 6 years following the Merger, with gross-up of amounts taxed as ordinary income. Mr. Kubasik had previously been entitled to such reimbursement expenses for up to 3 years following the Merger under the Expired Agreement.

​

OUR PRACTICES, POLICIES AND GUIDELINES FOR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Annual Compensation Cycle

Our Board and Compensation Committee generally follow an annual compensation cycle as shown below:

​

WHAT WE DO PRIOR TO OR EARLY IN A NEW FISCAL YEAR
Consider and make, as appropriate, program design changes | ​ | Determine what changes, if any, to make to the executive compensation program for the new fiscal year (after receiving input from our CEO and independent compensation consultant and assessing compensation trends and competitive market data, including any relevant data for our compensation comparison peer group and TSR performance peer group).
Set target compensation values | ​ ​ | This process includes a review of: > each executive’s three-year compensation history, including base salary, annual cash incentive and equity awards; > the types and levels of other benefits available to the executive, such as change in control severance agreements or plans; and > compensation comparison peer group data or broad compensation market data, including surveys.
Establish performance measures, targets and individual objectives | ​ ​ | We determine: > short- and long-term financial performance measures and their relative weightings and associated targets for performance-based, at-risk elements of compensation for the new fiscal year; and > individual performance objectives for each executive and the relevant segment, sector, or organization. > These measures, weightings and targets and performance objectives are intended to align with our Board-approved annual operating plan and long-term strategic plan and create a “pay for profitable growth” environment and thereby encourage and reward the creation of sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders. As a general principle, we seek to establish targets for financial performance measures that are aligned with our strategic plan and are challenging yet achievable.
Make equity grants | ​ | > Annual equity award grants to executive officers are made or approved at Board or Compensation Committee meetings, the dates for which are generally set at least one year in advance and are used as the grant date(s). We do not time equity grants to take advantage of information, whether positive or negative, about us that has not been publicly disclosed. > Only in special circumstances, such as new hires or promotions, or for retention or recognition, would grants occur outside of the typical cycle.

​

WHAT WE DO AFTER THAT FISCAL YEAR ENDS
Conduct performance reviews | ​ | > CEO performance review: The independent directors of our Board conduct this review, evaluating the CEO’s achievement of objectives established early in the fiscal year, other accomplishments, overall Company performance and the CEO’s self-evaluation of performance for the fiscal year. This review occurs in executive session, under the leadership of our Compensation Committee Chair and Lead Independent Director and without our CEO or other members of management present. > Performance reviews for other executive officers: Our CEO provides our Compensation Committee with specific compensation recommendations based on a review and assessment of each executive officer’s performance, including achievement of objectives established early in the fiscal year for the executive and the relevant segment, sector, or organization, contribution to Company performance and other accomplishments.
Determine payouts | ​ | > Payouts of performance-based, at-risk elements of compensation to executives are determined based on actual performance with respect to the previously established measures, targets and individual objectives. Payout determinations typically occur after audited financial statements become available after the end of each fiscal year. In certain instances, as permitted under our Annual Incentive Plan, financial performance measure targets and our actual results may be adjusted in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting us or our financial statements, such as items that are determined not to be reflective of normal, ongoing business operations. At the request of our Audit Committee, our Internal Audit Department independently verifies calculations for Annual Incentive Plan and Performance Share Unit payouts.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OUR PRACTICES, POLICIES AND GUIDELINES FOR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

​

Who Does What

ROLE OF BOARD AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

Our Compensation Committee sets the philosophy, objectives, elements, policies and practices of compensation for our executive officers. In approving compensation levels and targets, individual objectives and financial performance measures and targets for our named executive officers, our Compensation Committee focuses on the relationship between our executive compensation program and the achievement of our financial and strategic objectives, with an emphasis on creating a “pay for profitable growth” environment.

With respect to compensation decisions, the independent directors of our Board make all final compensation decisions for our CEO (based on the recommendation of our Compensation Committee), and our Compensation Committee makes them for other executive officers (based on recommendations from our CEO). These decisions include: determining the types and levels of benefits; establishing performance measures, weightings and targets; setting target compensation values; granting equity awards; and determining payouts.

ROLE OF INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT

Our Compensation Committee has the authority to retain compensation consultants and other advisors to assist it in fulfilling its duties and responsibilities and has directly retained FW Cook — a nationally recognized, independent executive compensation consulting firm — to provide it with objective analysis, recommendations on plan design, competitive market data and other advice and information related to CEO compensation and the compensation of other executive officers. Our Nominating and Governance Committee also has directly retained FW Cook to provide it with objective analysis, plan design recommendations, advice and information related to the compensation of our independent directors. FW Cook performs these services solely at the direction or with oversight from our Compensation Committee or our Nominating and Governance Committee, as applicable, and does not provide any other services for or receive other remuneration from L3Harris.

With regard to FW Cook’s services related to CEO and other executive officer compensation, our Compensation Committee has sole authority to modify or approve FW Cook’s remuneration, determine the nature and scope of its services, evaluate its performance, terminate the engagement and engage a replacement or additional consultant at any time. Our Compensation Committee also regularly meets with FW Cook in executive session, without our CEO or other members of management present. Taking into consideration the independence factors in the NYSE listing standards and SEC rules, our Compensation Committee has made the determination that, in its business judgment, FW Cook is independent and that its work does not raise any conflicts of interest.

ROLE OF CEO

Our Compensation Committee considers recommendations from our CEO when making decisions regarding our executive compensation program and the compensation of our other executive officers. During the annual compensation planning process, our CEO recommends targets for all incentive compensation programs. The targets are based on our Board-approved annual operating plan and long-term strategic plan. As part of the annual performance review process, which includes an assessment of each executive officer’s performance against individual objectives, our CEO presents an evaluation of each executive officer’s contributions (including both strengths and development needs) and recommends specific compensation for the other executive officers, including base salary adjustments and annual cash incentive and equity awards.

Competitive Considerations

BENCHMARKING

Our Board and Compensation Committee use benchmarking as a reference point in the framework of its overall compensation decisions. Specifically, our Board and Compensation Committee generally set target total direct compensation for our CEO and other executives to approximate the median total direct compensation for comparable positions in our compensation peer group. However, actual compensation levels may differ from the median based on our Board and our Compensation Committee’s discretion, based on such factors as experience, position, responsibilities, tenure and contributions. Our Board and our Compensation Committee may also consider other broad compensation market data, including published compensation surveys.

For fiscal 2024, the L3Harris Total Rewards team performed a comprehensive assessment and benchmarking of the competitive compensation positioning of our named executive officers as well as the mix and elements of their compensation, primarily focusing on our compensation comparison peer group, but also using broad aerospace and defense and industrial compensation market data. Our Compensation Committee also engaged FW Cook to review, assess and validate our Total Rewards team’s assessment and benchmarking process.

COMPENSATION COMPARISON PEER GROUP

Our compensation comparison peer group is used to assess the competitiveness of our named executive officers’ compensation. Our Compensation Committee annually reviews the composition of this peer group and makes changes it determines are appropriate based on changes to our businesses or to the attributes of companies in the group or the availability of their compensation data. Our independent compensation consultant, our CEO and members of management routinely provide input to our Compensation Committee regarding changes to the attributes of peer companies.

We seek to include companies based on the following criteria (which are not assigned any specific weight):

| > | The same or similar industry

| > | Revenue between 1/3 to 3X our revenue

| > | Market capitalization between 1/3 to 3X our market capitalization

| > | Similarities in business model

​

| > | Competition for executive talent

In each of October 2023 and October 2024, management proposed, FW Cook endorsed and our Compensation Committee approved the compensation comparison peer group below for fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025, respectively, which is the same compensation comparison peer group used in fiscal 2023.

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Eaton Corporation plc | ​ | Jacobs Solutions Inc. | ​ | Parker Hannifin Corporation
Emerson Electric Co. | ​ | Leidos Holdings, Inc. | ​ | RTX Corporation
General Dynamics Corporation | ​ | Lockheed Martin Corporation | ​ | Rockwell Automation, Inc.
Honeywell International Inc. | ​ | Motorola Solutions, Inc. | ​ | Textron Inc.
Illinois Tool Works Inc. | ​ | Northrop Grumman Corporation | ​ | ​

​

The revenue median of the peer group was $18.7 billion based on most recently reported fiscal year-end financial results, and the median market capitalization was $73.4 billion as of January 3, 2025, versus our $21.3 billion revenue and $39.8 billion market capitalization.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COMPENSATION PLANS AND RISK

Our Compensation Committee undertakes periodic comprehensive reviews to assess whether our compensation strategies, plans, programs, policies or practices — either individually or in the aggregate — would encourage executives or employees to undertake unnecessary or excessive risks that would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. A review will also be conducted when there are material changes to our program.

With the assistance of a risk assessment conducted by FW Cook in fiscal 2024, management and our Compensation Committee concluded that our compensation strategies, plans, programs, policies and practices were not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us due to a variety of mitigating factors. These factors included:

| > | An emphasis on long-term compensation that utilizes a balanced portfolio of compensation elements, such as cash and equity, and delivers rewards based on sustained performance over time;

| > | The Compensation Committee’s power to set short- and long-term performance objectives for incentive plans that appropriately correlate with shareholder value and use multiple financial measures to measure performance;

| > | Performance share unit awards that generally are tied to financial performance measures spanning overlapping three-year performance periods, creating a focus on driving sustained performance over multiple performance periods, which mitigates the potential for executives to take excessive risks to drive one-time, short-term performance spikes in any one performance period;

| > | The use of equity awards with vesting periods to foster retention and align executives’ interests with those of shareholders;

| > | Caps on potential payouts under both short- and long-term incentive plans to eliminate the potential for windfalls;

| > | A Clawback Policy that requires recovery of any excess incentive-based compensation from executive officers following a restatement of financial information that affects the financial measures used to determine such incentive-based compensation;

| > | Share ownership guidelines; and

| > | A broad array of competitive benefit programs that offer employees and executives an opportunity to build meaningful retirement assets and benefit protections throughout their careers.

Other Practices and Policies

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION RECOVERY

Effective October 2, 2023, we adopted our Clawback Policy to comply with Section 303A.14 of the NYSE listing standards, which implements the final rule promulgated by the SEC for recovery of erroneously awarded compensation. The Clawback Policy requires recovery of any excess incentive-based compensation from any current or former executive officers subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act (“Section 16”) following a restatement of financial information that affects a financial measure used to determine such incentive-based compensation. The excess amount is any such amount by which the affected incentive-based compensation exceeds the compensation that would have been received by the executive officer, without regard to any taxes paid, had the applicable financial measure not been subject to error. Under the Clawback Policy, our Compensation Committee determines the method of recovery, and recovery may be deemed impractical only in limited circumstances enumerated in the NYSE listing standards.

Separately, our executive compensation programs, including our Annual Incentive Plan and our Equity Incentive Plans, also permit us to recover all or a portion of any compensation, whether cash or equity, including performance share units, restricted stock units, or stock options granted under a Plan, if our financial statements are restated as a result of errors, omissions or fraud, or any greater amount that our Compensation Committee or the independent members of our Board determine. Recovery of such amounts by L3Harris would be in addition to any actions that might be taken by law enforcement agencies, regulators or other authorities.

STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES FOR OFFICERS

To further promote management’s ownership of our shares and more closely align management and shareholder interests, our Compensation Committee has established the following stock ownership guidelines for our Board-elected or appointed officers.

Executives are expected to meet the ownership levels shown below by the end of the five-year period from their hire date or from their promotion into a position covered by the guidelines. They are not permitted to sell our shares (other than to pay the exercise price and related taxes upon the exercise of stock options) until they have met that goal.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OUR PRACTICES, POLICIES AND GUIDELINES FOR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

​

Stock Ownership (as a multiple of base salary)

​ | ​ | ​
What counts: | ​ | Shares owned outright or jointly by the executive, shares credited under any retirement plan sponsored by us, share equivalents represented by amounts deferred in the L3Harris Stock Fund account of our ERSP and restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards (on an after-tax basis).
What doesn’t count: | ​ | Stock options and unearned performance share units.

​

Our Compensation Committee conducts an annual review to assess compliance with the guidelines. As of February 28, 2025, our CEO has met and all of our other named executive officers met or were on track to meet the applicable stock ownership guidelines within the applicable timeframe.

For a discussion of stock ownership guidelines for our non-employee directors, see page 21.

POLICIES ON INSIDER TRADING, 10B5-1 PLANS AND HEDGING AND PLEDGING

Our insider trading policy prohibits directors, employees and certain of their family members from purchasing or selling any type of security (whether issued by us or another company) while such person is aware of material non-public information (except pursuant to an approved 10b5-1 trading plan), or from providing such material non-public information to any person who may trade while aware of such information. This policy also prohibits directors and employees from engaging in short sales with respect to our securities and from entering into hedging, puts, calls or other derivative transactions with respect to our securities. We also have procedures that require trades by directors and executive officers to be pre-cleared by our General Counsel or his staff.

We also require all of our executive officers and directors to utilize 10b5-1 trading plans, which must comply with the provisions of Rule 10b5-1 and also be pre-cleared by our General Counsel or his staff We require a cooling off period of not less than (and in certain circumstances more than) 90 days after the plan is adopted. We limit executive officers to a single 10b5-1 trading plan in effect at any time, subject to limited exceptions in accordance with Rule 10b5-1.

Our policies prohibit directors and executive officers from purchasing our stock on margin, holding our stock in a margin account or otherwise pledging our stock as collateral for margin accounts, loans or any other purpose. We do permit the use of “cashless exercise” procedures to exercise stock options granted by us if such exercise complies with our insider trading and other relevant policies. None of our directors or executive officers pledged our stock during our fiscal 2024.

EQUITY GRANTS BY CEO

As permitted under our equity incentive plans, our Compensation Committee has delegated to our CEO the authority to grant equity awards to employees who are not executive officers. The annual maximum number of shares underlying the awards that may be granted pursuant to this delegation is set by our Compensation Committee.

Tax and Accounting Considerations

TAX DEDUCTIBILITY OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally prohibits a public company from deducting compensation paid in any year in excess of $1 million to its CEO or any of its four other most highly compensated executive officers. In evaluating executive compensation components, our Compensation Committee considers the net cost to us as well as its ability to effectively administer executive compensation in the long-term interest of shareholders and in a manner designed to promote corporate goals. Accordingly, our Compensation Committee retains the flexibility to approve elements of compensation that it believes are consistent with the objectives of our executive compensation program, even if that might result in the non-deductibility of certain compensation under the Internal Revenue Code.

NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION

Under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, “nonqualified deferred compensation” must be deferred and paid under plans or arrangements that satisfy certain requirements with respect to the timing of deferral elections, timing of payments and certain other matters. If these requirements are not complied with, amounts deferred under compensation arrangements that are subject to Section 409A will be currently includable in income to the employee and subject to an excise tax to be assessed on the employee. In general, it is our intention to design and administer our compensation and benefits plans and arrangements for all of our employees so that they either are exempt from, or satisfy the requirements of, Section 409A.

ACCOUNTING FOR EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

Before we grant equity-based compensation awards, we consider the accounting impact of the award. This involves analyzing the award’s impact both as structured and in other possible scenarios.

​

(1) | Fiscal 2024 salary included 53 weeks of pay, while fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 included 52 weeks.

(2) | The amounts shown for Messrs. Bedingfield (joined L3Harris on December 11, 2023) and Mehta (joined L3Harris on January 3, 2023) in fiscal 2023 and for Mr. Rambeau (joined L3Harris on October 17, 2022) in fiscal 2022 represent one-time cash sign-on bonuses paid under the terms of their Offer Letter Agreements.

(3) | The “Stock Awards” column reflects the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with ASC 718 .The assumptions used for the valuations are set forth in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K (the “Notes”) for fiscal 2024 (Note 10), fiscal 2023 (Note 10) and fiscal 2022 (Note 15), respectively. Although neither dividends, nor dividend equivalents are payable on restricted stock units during the restriction period, the grant date fair values of restricted stock units do not reflect any discounts. Pursuant to SEC rules, we disregarded the estimates of forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions.

The grant date fair values of performance share units granted in fiscal 2024, fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 reflect discounts (because neither dividends, nor dividend equivalents are payable on performance share units during the performance period), which discounts were approximately: (a) $5.18 per share for fiscal 2024 performance share units granted in February 2024; (b) $13.28 per share for fiscal 2023 performance share units granted in February 2023; and (c) $13.65 per share for fiscal 2022 performance share units granted in February 2022. Each performance share unit earned at the end of the applicable multi-year performance period and paid out receives accrued dividend equivalents in an amount equal to the cash dividends or other distributions paid with respect to our common stock during the performance period. Payment of such dividend equivalents is made in cash at the time of the actual payout of performance share units ultimately earned as determined after completion of the performance period. Dividends declared with respect to issued and outstanding shares of our common stock were $4.64, $4.56 and $4.48 per share in fiscal 2024, fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, respectively. The dollar value of dividend equivalents paid on vested performance share units is included in the “All Other Compensation” column when the value of such dividend equivalents paid was not factored into the grant date fair value of the underlying performance shares units.

The grant date fair values of performance share units were computed based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the grant date of such awards, which was at target. The respective grant date fair values of the performance share units granted in fiscal 2024, fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, as applicable, assuming at such grant date the maximum payment (200% of target for performance share units granted in fiscal 2024, fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022), would have been as follows: Mr. Kubasik — $14,158,534, $13,478,194 and $12,075,608; Mr. Bedingfield - $3,933,226; Mr. Mehta — $2,727,258 and $2,546,254; Mr. Rambeau — $2,272,258 and $2,546,254 ; Mr. Zoiss — $2,727,258, $2,546,254 and $2,310,180. Mr. Rambeau was not granted performance share units in fiscal 2022. See the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal 2024 Table on page 47 and related notes and the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement for information with respect to equity awards granted in fiscal 2024 and the Outstanding Equity Awards at 2024 Fiscal Year End Table on page 48 and related notes for information with respect to equity awards granted prior to fiscal 2024.

(4) | The “Option Awards” column reflects the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with ASC 718. The assumptions used for the valuations are set forth in the Notes for fiscal 2024 (Note 10), fiscal 2023 (Note 10) and fiscal 2022 (Note 15), respectively. Pursuant to SEC rules, we disregarded the estimates of forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions.

​

| (a) | Reflects the dollar value of premiums paid by us for life insurance for our named executive officers under our broad-based group basic life insurance benefit.

| (b) | Reflects our contributions credited to accounts of our named executive officers under our RSP, which is a tax-qualified, defined contribution plan.

| (c) | Reflects our credits to accounts of our named executive officers under our ERSP, which is an unfunded, nonqualified defined contribution retirement plan. For additional information regarding these credits and our ERSP, see the “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” section beginning on page 50, including the Fiscal 2024 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table and related notes.

| (d) | Each performance share unit earned at the end of the applicable multi-year performance period and paid out receives accrued dividend equivalents in cash in an amount equal to dividends paid during the performance period, $4.64, $4.56 and $4.48 per share in fiscal 2024, fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, respectively. These cash dividends are only earned to the extent the performance share units are earned, and as such are considered at-risk, performance-based compensation.

| (e) | The amount for each of Messrs. Kubasik, Mehta, and Zoiss included $22,275, Mr. Bedingfield included $22,075 and Mr. Rambeau included $21,931, in each case for Company-paid financial planning and advice, and federal and state tax preparation services from a designated third-party provider (but no tax assistance for payment of taxes for such services). Amounts for each of Messrs. Kubasik and Bedingfield included $10,000, for charitable gift matching payments under the Company foundation’s charitable gift matching program. Amounts for Messrs. Kubasik, Bedingfield, Rambeau and Zoiss included $6,298, $4,886, $5,536, and $17,925 respectively, for Company paid physical examinations. The amount for Mr. Bedingfield also included $116,393 for customary relocation expenses for his relocation to Melbourne, Florida (inclusive of tax assistance for payment of taxes for such taxable expenses), pursuant to the Bedingfield Offer Letter Agreement. Amounts for Mr. Kubasik and Mr. Mehta included $370,476 and 20,580 for personal use of Company-owned aircraft. Amounts for Mr. Kubasik also include $150,302 for security and Company provided vehicle-related expenses. See “Employment Agreements” beginning on page 37 for details.

The incremental cost to us of personal use of Company-owned aircraft is calculated based on our average variable operating costs, which include fuel, maintenance, weather-monitoring, on-board catering, trip-related hangar/parking, landing/ramp fees and other miscellaneous variable costs. Our total annual variable operating costs are divided by the annual number of miles the Company-owned aircraft flew to derive an average variable cost per mile, which is then multiplied by the miles flown for personal use to derive the incremental cost. The methodology excludes fixed costs that do not change based on usage, such as pilots’ and other employees’ salaries, purchase costs of the aircraft and non-trip related hangar expenses. The taxable benefit associated with personal use of Company-owned aircraft is imputed at “Standard Industry Fare Level” rates to the applicable named executive officers, who do not receive any gross-up for payment of taxes for such imputed income. The amount related to the loss of tax deduction to us due to the personal use of Company-owned aircraft under the Internal Revenue Code is not included.

As noted above, we also offer a supplemental long-term disability benefit to employees with eligible compensation in excess of $400,000 and offer our executives the option to participate in a group excess liability umbrella policy. No premiums are payable by us for these benefits and there is no incremental cost reflected for our named executive officers. Certain Company-related events may include meetings and receptions with our customers, executive management or Board attended by the named executive officer and a spouse or guest. If the Company-owned aircraft is used and a spouse or guest travels with the named executive officer, no amounts are included because there is no incremental cost to us. We also have Company-purchased tickets to athletic or other events generally for business purposes. In limited instances, executives, including our named executive officers, may have personal use of Company-purchased event tickets. No amounts are included because event tickets are purchased in advance for business purposes, and limited personal use has no incremental cost. For a discussion of perquisites and other personal benefits provided to our named executive officers, see the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement.

​

(1) | Reflects the range of possible cash payouts under our Annual Incentive Plan in respect of our fiscal 2024 performance.

(2) | Reflects the possible range of shares earnable from performance share units granted in fiscal 2024 for the fiscal 2024-2026 performance period.

(3) | Reflects restricted stock units granted in fiscal 2024. After completion of the restriction period, each restricted stock unit paid out receives accrued dividend equivalents in cash in an amount equal to dividends paid during the restriction period in cash at the time of the payout of restricted stock units after completion of the restriction period.

(4) | Reflects the shares of our common stock underlying stock options granted in fiscal 2024, which expire no later than 10 years from the grant date.

(5) | Reflects the exercise price per share for the stock options at the time of grant, which was the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date.

(6) | Reflects the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with ASC 718 of performance share units (at target), restricted stock units and stock options granted in fiscal 2024. In accordance with SEC rules, the amounts in this column reflect the grant date fair value without reduction for estimates of forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions.

The grant date fair values of these performance share units were computed based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the grant date (which was at target), and using a multifactor Monte Carlo valuation model that simulates our stock price and TSR relative to other companies in the S&P 500 and our TSR performance peer group. The fair value is the average of the equally weighted internal performance measures and the TSR measures. This yielded a valuation of approximately $230.09 per share, less a discount (approximately $5.18 per share) because dividends are not paid on performance share units during the performance period, for a grant date fair value of $224.91 per share. The grant date fair values of restricted stock units were determined as of the grant date using the $214.45 closing market price of our common stock. The grant date fair values of stock options were calculated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model, which was $51.26 for all stock options, except for 45,000 granted to Mr. Bedingfield on February 1, 2024, for which the grant date fair value was $48.67.

Assumptions used for the valuations are set forth in the Notes for fiscal 2024 (Note 10). Amounts may not correspond to the values actually realized.

(7) | Reflects non-qualified stock options granted to Mr. Bedingfield in connection with the Bedingfield Offer Letter Agreement.

(1) | All options granted are nonqualified stock options. The exercise price for all stock options, other than stock options granted to Mr. Kubasik prior to August 1, 2019, is the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date. The stock options granted to Mr. Kubasik prior to August 1, 2019 are stock options originally granted by L3, each of which was converted upon completion of the Merger into an option to purchase shares of our common stock equal to the original number of shares of L3 common stock subject to the L3 stock option multiplied by 1.30 (the exchange ratio in the Merger), at an exercise price equal to the original exercise price of the L3 stock option divided by 1.30. The exercise price for all stock options may be paid in cash and/or shares of our common stock, or an option holder may use “broker assisted cashless exercise” procedures.

(3) | The restricted stock units granted on February 23, 2024 vest on February 23, 2027; on February 24, 2023 vest on February 24, 2026; and on February 25, 2022 vested on February 25, 2025. Mr. Mehta’s restricted stock units granted on February 1, 2023 were granted in connection with the Mehta Offer Letter Agreement; 6,950 of such restricted stock units vest one-half on February 1, 2026 and one-half on February 1, 2028, and 11,583 of such restricted stock units vested or vest ratably on February 1, 2024, February 1, 2025 and February 1, 2026. The final tranche of Mr. Rambeau’s restricted stock units granted on November 1, 2022 granted in connection with the Rambeau Offer Letter Agreement vest on November 1, 2025.

(4) | The market value shown was determined by multiplying the number of restricted stock units that had not vested by the $209.75 closing market price per share of our common stock on January 3, 2025, the last trading day of our fiscal 2024.

(5) | The performance share units granted in fiscal 2023 are for the fiscal 2023-2025 performance period. The performance share units granted in fiscal 2024 are for the fiscal 2024-2026 performance period. The numbers of performance share units and related values as of January 3, 2025 represent payouts at maximum, rather than payouts at target, in accordance with SEC rules requiring reporting of these amounts in this manner because our performance exceeded target during the last completed fiscal year or years over which performance is measured. For fiscal 2024-2026 and fiscal 2023-2025 performance period awards, actual performance will cause the number of shares that are earned to range from 0% to a maximum of 200% of the target number of performance share units based on the extent of weighted achievement of targets for the performance period, subject to possible adjustment based on our adjusted segment operating margin.

(6) | The market value shown was determined by multiplying the number of unearned and unvested performance share units (at maximum for the fiscal 2024-2026 fiscal and fiscal 2023-2025 cycle awards) by the $209.75 closing market price on January 3, 2025, the last trading day of fiscal 2024.

OPTION EXERCISES AND STOCK VESTED IN FISCAL 2024 TABLE

The following table provides information for our named executive officers regarding (1) stock option exercises during fiscal 2024 and (2) vesting of stock awards during or in respect of fiscal 2024.

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ |  | Option Awards | Stock Awards
​ | ​ | Number of Shares | Value Realized | Number of Shares | Value Realized

​

(1) | Value realized on exercise of stock options was determined by multiplying the number of options exercised by the difference between the weighted average sale price of the shares of our common stock sold on the date of exercise and the exercise price, irrespective of any taxes owed upon exercise.

(2) | Consists of shares earned and acquired on vesting of performance share unit awards and restricted stock unit awards, with value realized on vesting of performance share unit awards granted in fiscal 2022 determined by multiplying the number of shares earned and vested by the $209.75 closing market price on January 3, 2025, the last trading day of our fiscal 2024, and with value realized on vesting of restricted stock unit awards determined by multiplying the number of shares acquired on vesting by the closing market price of our common stock on the vesting dates (February 1, 2024: $209.48; February 26, 2024: $211.74; November 1, 2024: $247.48). The number of shares acquired and value realized on vesting, however, have not been reduced to reflect shares surrendered to cover tax withholding obligations.

NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION

Retirement Savings Plan

Our RSP is a tax-qualified, 401(k) defined contribution retirement plan available to most of our U.S.-based employees, including our named executive officers. Under our RSP, subject to applicable limits under the Internal Revenue Code, participants generally may contribute up to 70% of eligible compensation, the most significant components of which are base salary and annual incentive payments. In general, following one year of service, we match up to the first 6% of eligible compensation that is contributed by a participant. The Internal Revenue Code limits certain contributions to a participant’s RSP account and also limits the amount of compensation that may be considered when determining benefits under our RSP.

Participants in our RSP are immediately vested in contributions they make and are fully vested in the remainder of their account (including contributions we make) on or after the attainment of age 55 or due to their disability or death. In general, participants also become fully vested in the remainder of their account after three years of employment with us (contributions we make generally are subject to three-year graduated vesting).

Excess Retirement Savings Plan

To the extent contributions by participants to our RSP are limited by the Internal Revenue Code, certain of our salaried employees, including our named executive officers, are eligible to participate in our ERSP. The ERSP is an unfunded, nonqualified defined contribution retirement plan intended to make up the difference between the amount actually credited to a participant’s account under our RSP and the amount that, in the absence of certain Internal Revenue Code limits, would have been credited to the participant’s account.

In addition, our Compensation Committee may, at its discretion, provide for the deferral of other compensation to executive officers under our ERSP, including equity awards.

The value of our contributions credited to our named executive officers’ accounts under our RSP and ERSP is shown in the Fiscal 2024 Summary Compensation Table on page 44 under the “All Other Compensation” column and related notes.

Deferred compensation under our ERSP generally will be paid or commence being paid to a participant in January of the calendar year following the year in which such participant reaches age 55, or the year in which such participant’s employment terminates, whichever is later. Participants select the form in which payment will be made, typically a lump sum or annual payments over a period of 3, 5, 7, 10 or 15 years. Deferred amounts generally may not be withdrawn prior to their payment date, except to meet an “unforeseeable financial emergency,” as defined under U.S. Federal tax law, or in the event of a change in control of the Company that satisfies certain requirements of U.S. Federal tax law. Payments to “specified employees,” as defined under U.S. Federal tax law, are delayed at least six months after termination of employment (this six-month delay generally does not apply to amounts deferred prior to 2005).

The vesting provisions of our ERSP are generally the same as the vesting provisions of our RSP. Participants in our ERSP are immediately vested in contributions they make and are fully vested in the remainder of their account upon termination of employment on or after the attainment of age 55 or due to their disability or death. Participants also generally become fully vested in the remainder of their account after three years of employment with us (contributions we make generally are subject to three-year graduated vesting).

COMPENSATION TABLES NONQUALIFIEID DEFERRED COMPENSATION

​

Earnings on amounts credited to a participant’s account in our ERSP are based on participant selections among investment choices, which substantially mirror the investment choices available under our RSP. Participants may elect that a portion of their account be deemed invested in the Company stock fund, and such amounts are credited with dividend equivalents equal to the dividends paid on our common stock, which are then deemed reinvested in the Company stock fund. No above-market or preferential earnings are paid or guaranteed on investment choices.

Amounts credited to a participant’s account in our ERSP may be partially or fully funded by a grantor trust, also known as a “rabbi trust,” and are required to be fully funded upon a change in control of the Company. The assets in such trust are subject to the claims of our creditors, and participants are treated as our unsecured general creditors.

Fiscal 2024 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table

The following table summarizes the amounts credited under our ERSP for our named executive officers, as well as earnings or losses and account balances under our ERSP.

COMPENSATION TABLES POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL

​

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL

This section sets forth information regarding compensation and benefits that each of our named executive officers would receive in the event of termination of employment of such named executive officer under several different circumstances.

SEVERANCE PAY PLAN

Like other regular, full-time employees of L3Harris, our named executive officers are generally eligible for benefits under our Severance Pay Plan, which became effective March 1, 2020. Upon an involuntary termination of employment by us without cause, the Severance Pay Plan provides for severance benefits, subject to a waiver and release, including the following severance benefits for employees at the officer level (including executive officers):

| > | a lump sum cash payment equal to the participant’s annual base pay (as determined under the Severance Pay Plan) and annual bonus at target; and

| > | 12 months of COBRA coverage at active employee rates.

However, individuals are not eligible for severance benefits under the Severance Pay Plan in circumstances where they are entitled to severance payments under a different arrangement (including change in control severance payments under our CIC Severance Plan (as described below)). As a result of the Kubasik Letter Agreement, as of February 23, 2024, benefits are not currently available to Mr. Kubasik under the Severance Pay Plan.

EXECUTIVE CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE ARRANGEMENTS

Our executive change in control severance arrangements reflect sound practices because they:

| > | Do not provide for a tax gross-up of excise taxes;

| > | Do provide for a “best net after-tax” payment approach that reduces payments and benefits to an executive if the reduction would result in the executive receiving higher payments and benefits on a net after-tax basis; and

| > | Do provide that we will reimburse the executive for any legal fees and costs with respect to any dispute arising under the arrangement.

L3Harris Executive Change in Control Severance Plan

Our CIC Severance Plan, effective on March 1, 2020 and amended on July 21, 2023, includes a “double trigger,” meaning that participants can receive benefits only if there is both a change in control and a qualifying termination of their employment within the two-year period following the change in control.

Our Board believes that the CIC Severance Plan will align the interests of our executives and shareholders during the period of an actual or rumored change in control and is necessary in some cases to attract and retain executives. The plan is designed to preserve the focus and productivity of our executives, avoid disruption and prevent attrition during periods of uncertainty. Our Board also believes that the plan facilitates objective assessment of potential transactions that may be in our shareholders’ best interests but could negatively affect an executive’s employment prospects.

All L3Harris officers and certain other executives participate in the CIC Severance Plan.

Under the CIC Severance Plan, if a participant’s employment is terminated by us without “cause” or by the participant for “good reason” (such as a material adverse change in compensation or job responsibilities or location) during the two-year period following a change in control, we will provide to the participant, subject to execution of a release of claims, the following severance benefits:

| > | a lump sum cash payment equal to a multiple (2x in the case of employees at the officer level, including executive officers, and 3x for our CEO) of the participant’s base salary and target bonus;

| > | a lump sum cash payment equal to the participant’s pro-rata target bonus;

| > | continued participation in our group medical, dental and vision plans for the number of years equal to the applicable severance multiple; and

| > | if immediately prior to the date of termination or change in control, the participant is eligible for professional finance and tax planning assistance services offered by us, continued participation in such services for the balance of the calendar year in which the termination occurs and the calendar year thereafter.

Agreements, Plans and Programs Providing for Potential Termination Benefits

As a general matter, most of our employees are “employees at-will” and only eligible for benefits under our Severance Pay Plan or our CIC Severance Plan. However, the Kubasik Letter Agreement, the Mehta Offer Letter Agreement and the Rambeau Offer Letter Agreement provide for benefits in excess of what each of Mr. Kubasik, Mr. Mehta and Mr. Rambeau would be entitled to under our Severance Pay Plan, in each case as described under the “Employment Agreements” heading in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this proxy statement beginning on page 37.

COMPENSATION TABLES POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL

​

Potential Payments Under Various Circumstances

Termination for cause. A named executive officer whose employment is terminated by us for cause is not entitled to any compensation or benefits other than those generally paid to all of our salaried employees upon termination of employment. In addition, as discussed in “Other Practices and Policies — Clawback” in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement, we are required to recover any excess incentive-based compensation from current or former executive officers subject to Section 16, including each of our named executive officers, following a restatement of financial information that affects a financial measure used to determine incentive-based compensation, and, separately, we may be entitled to recover all or a portion of a named executive officer’s performance-based compensation if our financial statements are restated as a result of errors, omissions or fraud. Annual incentive awards, vested and unvested options, performance share units and restricted stock units are automatically forfeited following a termination for cause or misconduct.

Involuntary termination without cause (unless retirement eligible). In the case of termination of employment by us without cause, each of our named executive officers are entitled to compensation or benefits under our Severance Pay Plan. Additionally, Mr. Mehta is entitled to accelerated vesting of certain equity awards under the Mehta Offer Letter Agreement, as described under the “Employment Agreements” heading in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement beginning on page 37.

Under our Annual Incentive Plan, following an involuntary termination by us without cause, if the executive was employed a minimum of 180 days during the fiscal year, annual incentive compensation awards are paid pro-rata based on the period worked during such fiscal year, with payment made after the fiscal year end based on our performance.

Except as otherwise provided for Mr. Kubasik and Mr. Mehta, as described under the “Employment Agreements” heading in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement beginning on page 37, under our equity incentive plans, upon an involuntary termination by us other than for cause or misconduct (and assuming not within 2 years following a future change in control):

| > | Unvested options are forfeited;

| > | Vested options may be exercised for up to 90 days following such termination but not later than the regularly scheduled expiration date;

| > | Vested performance stock options granted in our six-month fiscal transition period of June 29, 2019 through January 3, 2020 (“Fiscal Transition Period”) may be exercised until the regularly scheduled expiration date;

| > | Unvested performance share units are forfeited, although a pro-rata portion (based on the period worked during the performance period) will remain outstanding and eligible to be earned based on attainment of applicable performance targets, subject to a minimum one-year vesting period; and

| > | Unvested restricted stock units vest pro-rata based on the period worked during the restriction period, subject to a minimum one-year vesting period, with the vested portion generally paid out as soon as practicable and the unvested portion forfeited.

Voluntary termination/resignation (other than for good reason or retirement eligible). In the case of voluntary termination or resignation of employment by a named executive officer (other than for good reason or due to retirement):

| > | The named executive officer is not entitled to any compensation or benefits other than those generally paid to all of our salaried employees upon any termination of employment;

| > | Annual incentive awards, unvested stock options, unvested performance share units, unvested restricted stock units are automatically forfeited;

| > | Vested options, as well as vested performance stock options, in each case granted prior to the Merger may be exercised for up to 30 days following such termination or resignation but not later than the regularly scheduled expiration date; and

| > | Vested options, as well as vested performance stock options, in each case granted after the Merger may be exercised for up to 90 days following such termination or resignation but not later than the regularly scheduled expiration date.

Voluntary resignation (for good reason). Except as otherwise provided for Mr. Mehta under the Mehta Offer Letter Agreement or Mr. Kubasik under the Kubasik Letter Agreement, each as described under the “Employment Agreements” heading in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement beginning on page 37, under our equity incentive plans, upon a voluntary resignation for good reason by an executive officer (not within two years after a future change in control), the same equity treatment applies as described above in the case of voluntary resignation other than for good reason, except vested performance stock options granted in our Fiscal Transition Period may be exercised until the regularly scheduled expiration date.

Death or disability. If a named executive officer dies while employed with us, the individual’s beneficiaries are eligible for benefits under the death benefit programs generally available to many of our U.S.-based employees, including basic group life insurance (paid by us) and supplemental group life insurance (if it was elected and paid for by the executive). If a named executive officer’s employment is terminated as a result of disability, the executive is eligible for benefits under the disability programs generally available to many of our U.S.-based employees, which include a long-term disability income benefit and, in most cases, continuation of health and survivor and accident life insurance coverage applicable to active employees for specified periods, while disabled. In addition, upon death or disability:

| > | Account balances in our RSP and ERSP become fully vested;

| > | If the executive was employed for a minimum of 180 days during the fiscal year, annual incentive compensation awards are paid pro-rata based on the period worked during such fiscal year, with payment made after the fiscal year end based on our performance;

| > | Unvested options immediately fully vest;

| > | Vested options, as well as vested performance stock options, granted prior to the Merger may be exercised, in the case of death, for up to 12 months following the date of death but not later than the regularly scheduled expiration date (by the beneficiaries), and in the case of disability, until the regularly scheduled expiration date;

| > | Vested options, as well as vested performance stock options, granted after the Merger may be exercised for up to 12 months following the date of death (by the beneficiaries) or disability but not later than the regularly scheduled expiration date;

| > | A pro-rata portion of the number of unvested performance share units immediately vest at target and are paid out as soon as administratively practicable following death and, in the case of disability, generally following expiration of the service period but may be paid out earlier in certain circumstances; and

| > | Unvested restricted stock units immediately fully vest and are paid out as soon as administratively practicable.

Retirement. As of January 3, 2025, all of our named executive officers who were serving as executive officers were eligible to participate in, and remain fully vested in, our RSP and ERSP. Additionally, Mr. Kubasik was retirement-eligible for certain awards under our equity incentive plans. If a retirement eligible named executive officer’s employment is terminated as a result of retirement such named executive officer would receive retirement benefits generally available to our retirement-eligible salaried employees, including:

| > | Account balances in our RSP and ERSP become fully vested;

| > | If the executive was employed a minimum of 180 days during the fiscal year, annual incentive compensation awards are paid pro-rata based on the period worked during such fiscal year, with payment made after the fiscal year end based on our performance;

| > | After age 55 with ten or more years of full-time service, the named executive officer’s vested options and vested performance stock options, in each case granted through our Fiscal Transition Period, may be exercised until the regularly scheduled expiration date;

| > | After age 60 with five or more years of full-time service and satisfaction of certain advance notice and other criteria, the named executive officer’s vested options granted after our Fiscal Transition Period may be exercised until the regularly scheduled expiration date, and after age 65 with 10 or more years of full-time service and satisfaction of certain advance notice and other criteria, unvested options will continue to vest;

| > | Unvested performance share units are forfeited, with two exceptions: (i) after age 60 with five or more years of full-time service and satisfaction of certain advance notice and other criteria, and subject to a minimum one-year vesting period, a pro-rata portion of performance share units (based on the period worked during the performance period) will remain outstanding and eligible to be earned based on attainment of applicable performance targets; and (ii) after age 65 with 10 or more years of full-time service and satisfaction of certain advance notice and other criteria, and subject to a minimum one-year vesting period, performance share units will continue to be eligible to be earned based on attainment of applicable performance targets; and

| > | Unvested restricted stock units are forfeited, with two exceptions: (i) after age 60 with five or more years of full-time service and satisfaction of certain advance notice and other criteria, and subject to a minimum one-year vesting period, unvested restricted stock units vest pro-rata based on the period worked during the restriction period, with the vested portion generally paid out as soon as practicable; and (ii) after age 65 with 10 or more years of full-time service and satisfaction of certain advance notice and other criteria, and subject to a minimum one-year vesting period, restricted stock units will continue to be eligible to vest.

Change in control. Upon a future change in control:

| > | Whether or not a termination occurs, annual cash incentive compensation awards under our Annual Incentive Plan are fully earned and paid out promptly following the change in control or, in certain instances, following the end of the fiscal year, in each case at not less than the target level;

| > | If the “double trigger” qualifying termination of employment also occurs, unvested options immediately vest and may be exercised until the regularly scheduled expiration date;

| > | Unvested performance share units are deemed fully earned at not less than the target level and will vest and be paid out as soon as administratively practicable following expiration of the service period, subject to accelerated vesting and payout if the “double trigger” qualifying termination of employment or certain other employment terminations also occur and to forfeiture in certain other types of terminations; and

| > | If the “double trigger” qualifying termination of employment also occurs, unvested restricted stock units immediately fully vest and will be paid out as soon as administratively practicable.

Tables of Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

The following tables show estimates of the incremental compensation and benefits our named executive officers who are currently serving as executive officers would receive in a hypothetical termination as of January 3, 2025 (as described in more detail below) under various circumstances. The actual amounts to be paid would be determinable only at the time of a termination of employment or a future change in control.

The estimated amounts in the tables also are based on the following:

| > | The assumption that the hypothetical termination event occurred as of January 3, 2025, the last day of fiscal 2024, and that the value of our common stock was $209.75 per share based on the closing market price on January 3, 2025;

| > | The applicable provisions in the agreements and other arrangements between the named executive officer and us in effect as of January 3, 2025, which are summarized beginning on page 37;

| > | Cash severance includes multiples of salary and annual incentive compensation, but does not include paid or unpaid salary or annual incentive compensation or cash incentives earned for service through the end of fiscal 2024;

​

| > | The value of any options that were vested prior to January 3, 2025 is not included;

| > | The assumption that all unvested, in-the-money options that were not automatically forfeited on January 3, 2025 and that were entitled to vesting on such day vested and were exercised on such day;

| > | The hypothetical termination as of January 3, 2025 would qualify as continuous employment through the expiration of the first fiscal year of the performance period for performance share units;

| > | The value of accelerated restricted stock units includes the dollar value of dividend equivalents paid in cash with respect to such accelerated restricted stock units;

| > | The value of accelerated performance share units is based on the target number of performance share units previously granted and includes the dollar value of dividend equivalents paid in cash with respect to such accelerated performance share units;

| > | Payment of any aggregate balance shown in the Fiscal 2024 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table on page 51 is excluded;

| > | The estimated value of continuation of health and welfare benefits and perquisites is included, where applicable;

| > | The “Other Benefits” line includes, as applicable, $22,940 for financial planning services from a designated third-party provider and $18,000 for outplacement services; and

| > | With respect to a named executive officer over the age of 60 and who has completed at least five years of full-time service (as of January 3, 2025, Mr. Kubasik) and who provides a written six month notice for equity awards granted in fiscal 2023 or fiscal 2024, a termination of such executive’s employment with us that is within such executive’s control would be expected to be designated as retirement, as opposed to voluntary termination (resignation) or termination by such executive for good reason.

CEO PAY RATIO/PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE

​

​

CEO PAY RATIO

We are required under Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K to calculate and disclose our “CEO pay ratio.” For purposes of the fiscal 2024 CEO pay ratio, the same median employee identified with respect to our fiscal year 2023 CEO pay ratio was used since there has not been a change in our employee population or employee compensation arrangements that would significantly change the pay ratio disclosure. We calculated such median employee’s total compensation of $113,639 for fiscal 2024 in the same manner we calculated our CEO’s total compensation of $20,839,223 for fiscal 2024, as reported in the “Total” column of the Fiscal 2024 Summary Compensation Table on page 44. Based on this information, for fiscal 2024, the pay ratio between our CEO and median employee was 183:1. The pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. Because applicable SEC rules permit various methodologies, assumptions and exclusions, such pay ratio may not be comparable to pay ratios calculated and disclosed by other companies.

Compensation Actually Paid Table

The table below shows compensation actually paid, as defined by the SEC in Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K (“Compensation Actually Paid” or “CAP”) for our executives and our financial performance for the years shown in the table. For purposes of this discussion, our CEO is also referred to as our principal executive officer or “PEO” and our other Named Executive Officers are referred to as our “Non-PEO NEOs”:

(1) | Mr. Kubasik became CEO of L3Harris and its principal executive officer on June 29, 2021, at which point, our former CEO, William M. Brown transitioned to the role of Executive Chair. Following Mr. Brown’s transition to Executive Chair, Mr. Brown remained a named executive officer during such fiscal year, but was no longer the CEO of L3Harris. Mr. Brown retired on June 29, 2022.

(2) | Amounts reflect Summary Compensation Table Total Pay for our Non-PEO NEOs for each corresponding year.

(3) | The CAP calculation includes the end-of-year value of awards granted within the fiscal year, the change in fair value from prior year end of vested awards and the change in the fair value of unvested awards granted in prior years, regardless of if, when, or at which intrinsic value they will actually vest. To calculate CAP for fiscal 2024 the following amounts were deducted from and added to the total compensation number shown in the Fiscal 2024 Summary Compensation Table on page 44:

Compensation Actually Paid | $ | 17,503,180 | $ | 4,997,641

​

For purposes of the above adjustments, the fair value of equity awards on the applicable date were determined in accordance with ASC 718, using assumptions that are generally consistent with those used to determine the grant-date fair value set forth in the Notes.

​

The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of the equity awards did not differ in any material respect from the assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value of the awards as reported in the Summary Compensation Table, except that the fair value calculations of (i) the options granted on or between February 26, 2021 and February 23, 2024 used an estimated term between 2.0 years and 4.0 years in fiscal 2024, whereas the grant date fair values of such

​

awards used an estimated term of 5.0 years, and (ii) the performance share unit awards granted in 2023 and 2024 assumed a payout above target in fiscal 2024, in each case as compared to the grant date fair value calculations which assumed a payout at target.

(4) | The amount in column (g) for fiscal 2023, reflects $241,169 increase over previously disclosed CAP due to the inclusion of partially vested restricted stock units for Michelle L. Turner, our former CFO.

(5) | TSR represents the cumulative return on a fixed investment of $100 in the Company’s common stock, for the period beginning on the last trading day of fiscal year through the end of the applicable fiscal year, assuming reinvestment of dividends.

(6) | Peer Group TSR represents the cumulative return on a fixed investment of $100 in the S&P 500 Aerospace and Defense Industry Index for the period beginning on the last trading day of fiscal year through the end of the applicable fiscal year, assuming reinvestment of dividends.

(7) | The dollar amounts reported represent net income reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the applicable year.

(8) | The Company has chosen adjusted free cash flow as its Company-Selected Measure in the Compensation Actually Paid Table, as this was a key financial performance measure in setting pay-for-performance compensation in the 2024 fiscal year. See Appendix A for reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.

CAP vs. Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Company-Selected Measure)

The following chart illustrates the relationship between PEO CAP and the average Non-PEO NEO CAP against our adjusted free cash flow. While stock price and overall performance (projected and actual) may have a greater impact on CAP due to our compensation mix being primarily equity-based, our adjusted free cash flow has the greatest impact on our Annual Incentive Plan payouts each year. The portion of CAP attributed to our Annual Incentive Plan payout is consistent with our achievement against our adjusted free cash flow targets.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF L3HARRIS

​

The role of the Audit Committee is, among other things more fully described in the committee’s written charter, to assist the Board in its oversight of:

| > | the quality and integrity of L3Harris’ financial statements;

| > | compliance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements;

| > | internal control over financial reporting;

| > | L3Harris’ independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence;

| > | the performance of L3Harris’ internal audit function and independent auditors;

| > | L3Harris’ ethics and business conduct program, including audit and investigation results thereunder; and

| > | compliance with sound ethical business practices and the Company’s Code of Conduct.

L3Harris’ management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of L3Harris’ financial statements and the effectiveness of L3Harris’ system of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. L3Harris’ independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”), was responsible for auditing L3Harris’ consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025 and expressing an opinion on the material conformity of those financial statements with GAAP and on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Representatives of EY attended all meetings of the Audit Committee during the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025. The Audit Committee met and held discussions with management, the head of Internal Audit and EY, and discussed with the internal auditors and EY the overall scope of, and plans for, their respective audits and the identification of audit risks. The Audit Committee also met with EY and the head of Internal Audit, Principal Accounting Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their respective examinations, the reasonableness of significant judgments, the evaluations of L3Harris’ internal control over financial reporting and the overall quality of L3Harris’ financial reporting.

In the performance of its oversight functions, the Audit Committee has:

| > | reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management and EY;

| > | discussed with EY the matters required to be discussed under applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC; and

| > | received, reviewed and discussed the written disclosures and the letter from EY required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding EY’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and discussed with EY its independence.

In reliance on the reports, reviews and discussions described in this Audit Committee Report, the Audit Committee has recommended to the Board, and the Board has approved, that the audited financial statements be included in L3Harris’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2025, for filing with the SEC.

PROPOSAL 3: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

​

​

​

OUR BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS VOTING FOR RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025. |
> Independent accounting firm with breadth of knowledge, support and expertise of accessible national office. > Significant industry and government contracting expertise. > Periodic mandated rotation of audit firm’s lead engagement partner.

​

Our Audit Committee has appointed EY to audit our books and accounts and internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ending January 2, 2026. Although shareholder ratification of this appointment is not required by law, our Board believes that obtaining it is a sound corporate governance practice. If our shareholders do not ratify the appointment of EY, our Audit Committee will reconsider whether to retain EY and may either do so or hire another firm without resubmitting the matter to shareholders for approval. We expect that a representative of EY will be present at the 2025 Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders and to make a statement if the individual desires to do so.

As provided in our Audit Committee’s charter and as discussed above, our Audit Committee is responsible for directly appointing, compensating, retaining, terminating and overseeing our independent registered public accounting firm. Although we have a very long-standing relationship with EY, our Audit Committee frequently evaluates the independence and effectiveness of our independent registered public accounting firm and its personnel, as well as the cost and quality of its audit and audit-related services. Our Audit Committee retains the discretion at any time to appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm. In accordance with sound corporate governance practices and in order to ensure that our Audit Committee and our shareholders are receiving the best and most cost-effective audit services available, our Audit Committee periodically considers issuing a “request for proposal” to EY and other large nationally recognized accounting firms with regard to our audit engagement, which could result in a firm other than EY providing audit engagement services to us in later years.

EY served as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2024, which ended January 3, 2025 and fiscal 2023, which ended December 29, 2023. As part of the engagement to audit our fiscal 2023 financial statements and internal control over financial reporting and to review the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, EY performed additional audit procedures related to the acquisition of the Tactical Data Links product line from Viasat, Inc. on January 3, 2023 and of Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc. on July 28, 2023. The following table presents fees for professional audit services and other services rendered by EY for fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ |  | Fiscal 2024 |  | Fiscal 2023
Audit Fees(1) |  | $ | 18,098,133 |  | $ | 19,651,087
Audit-Related Fees(2) |  | $ | 850,872 |  | $ | 243,621
Tax Fees(3) |  | $ | 3,090,547 |  | $ | 8,071,838
All Other Fees(4) |  | $ | 7,200 |  | $ | 9,200
Total |  | $ | 22,046,752 |  | $ | 27,975,746

​

(1) | Audit fees included fees associated with the annual audit and the audit of internal control over financial reporting, as well as reviews of our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, SEC registration statements and other filings, comfort letter procedures, accounting and reporting consultations audit procedures related to acquisitions, and statutory audits required internationally for certain of our subsidiaries.

(2) | Audit-related fees in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 primarily related to audits of stand-alone financial statements of businesses within the consolidated group.

(3) | Tax fees for fiscal 2024 consisted of $2,455,764 related to tax compliance, including foreign return and domestic credit preparation and transfer pricing studies, and $634,783 related to tax planning and tax advisory services. Tax fees for fiscal 2023 consisted of global trade compliance audit services of $4,744,448, $2,486,517 related to tax compliance, including foreign return and domestic credit preparation and transfer pricing studies, and $840,873 related to tax planning and tax advisory services.

(4) | All other fees included access to EY Online content.

EY did not perform any professional services related to financial information systems design and implementation for us in fiscal 2024 or fiscal 2023.

Our Audit Committee has determined that the provision of the services described above is compatible with maintaining EY’s independence.

PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES

Under our Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy and Procedures, our Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm to ensure that the provision of such services does not impair the firm’s independence. The policy utilizes a framework of both general pre-approval for certain specified services and specific pre-approval for all other services.

Early in each fiscal year, our Audit Committee reviews and, as it deems appropriate, pre-approves the audit services and any audit-related services, tax services and other services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm, together with specific details regarding such services anticipated to be required for such fiscal year including, when available, estimated fees. Our Audit Committee periodically reviews the services provided to date and the actual fees against the estimates, and such fee amounts may be updated, to the extent appropriate, at meetings of our Audit Committee. Additional pre-approval is required before actual fees for any service can exceed the originally pre-approved amount. Our Audit Committee also may revise the list of pre-approved services and related fees from time to time. Our Audit Committee followed this same process for fiscal 2024, and all of the services described in the table above and related notes were pre-approved in accordance with this policy.

If we seek to engage our independent registered public accounting firm for other services that are not considered subject to general pre-approval as described above, then our Audit Committee must pre-approve such specific engagement as well as the estimated fees. Such engagement will be presented to our Audit Committee for pre-approval at its next meeting. If the timing of the project requires an expedited decision, then we may ask the Chair of our Audit Committee to pre-approve such engagement. Any such pre-approval by the Chair is then presented to our full Audit Committee for ratification at the next Audit Committee meeting. Additional pre-approval is required before any fees can exceed approved fees for any such specifically approved services.

PROPOSAL 4: SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL

​

​

​

​

​

OUR BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS VOTING AGAINST THE SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL. |
> We disclose our procedures for our lobbying and political activities on our website. > We disclose our lobbying expenditures on our website. > We disclose association memberships and detail fees in excess of $25,000, including the percentage of funds spent on political activities. > We describe our Board’s and our Nominating and Governance Committee’s role in oversight of lobbying and lobbying related expenditures on our website.

​

The following shareholder proposal will be voted on at the 2025 Annual Meeting, if properly presented. This shareholder proposal contains assertions about L3Harris that we believe are incorrect. We have not attempted to refute all of the inaccuracies. In accordance with the applicable proxy statement regulations, the shareholder proposal is as follows:

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL

John Chevedden, 2215 Nelson Avenue, No. 205, Redondo Beach, CA 90278, owner of 50 shares of our common stock, has advised us that he intends to present the following resolution at the 2025 Annual Meeting.

Proposal 4 — Transparency in Lobbying

Resolved, L3Harris shareholders request the preparation of a report, updated annually, disclosing:

1. | Company policy and procedures governing lobbying, both direct and indirect, and grassroots lobbying communications.

2. | Payments by L3Harris used for (a) direct or indirect lobbying or (b) grassroots lobbying communications, in each case including the amount of the payment and the recipient.

3. | L3Harris’ membership in and payments to any tax-exempt organization that writes and endorses model legislation.

4. | Description of management’s and the Board’s decision-making process and oversight for making payments described in sections 2 and 3 above.

For purposes of this proposal, a “grassroots lobbying communication” is a communication directed to the general public that (a) refers to specific legislation or regulation, (b) reflects a view on the legislation or regulation and (c) encourages the recipient of the communication to take action with respect to the legislation or regulation. “Indirect lobbying” is lobbying engaged in by a trade association or other organization of which L3Harris is a member.

Both “direct and indirect lobbying” and “grassroots lobbying communications” include efforts at the local, state and federal levels.

The report shall be presented to the Nominating and Governance Committee and posted on L3Harris’ website.

PROPOSAL 4: SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL

​

Supporting Statement

Full disclosure of L3Harris’ lobbying activities and expenditures is needed to assess whether its lobbying is consistent with its expressed goals and shareholder interests. L3Harris spent $53 million from 2010-2023 on federal lobbying. This does not include state lobbying expenditures, where L3Harris also lobbies but disclosure is uneven or absent. For example, L3Harris’ lobbying over first responder communication systems in Florida has drawn media attention.1

Companies can give unlimited amounts to third party groups that spend millions on lobbying and undisclosed grassroots activity, and these groups may be spending “at least double what’s publicly reported.”2 Unlike many of its peers, L3Harris fails to disclose its payments to trade associations and social welfare groups (SWG), or the amounts used for lobbying, to shareholders. L3Harris’ trade association disclosure is incomplete, failing to disclose a top limit for its payments over $50,000. L3Harris belongs to the Aerospace Industries Association, which spent $23 million on federal lobbying from 2010 - 2023. L3Harris’ current disclosure leaves out trade associations that lobby like the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions, General Aviation Manufacturers Association, Internet Security Alliance and Telecommunications Industry Association, and all social welfare groups.

L3Harris’ lack of disclosure presents reputational risks when its lobbying contradicts company public positions or takes controversial positions. L3Harris’ lobbying to get Israeli hacking firm NSO removed from a Commerce Department blacklist has attracted scrutiny.3 L3Harris has reportedly been actively lobbying leaders in the Pentagon and Congress to create a definition of what “resilient communications” means.4 And L3Harris’ lobbying on nuclear deterrence contracting for the annual defense budget has also attracted attention.5

Improved L3Harris lobbying disclosure will protect the reputation of L3Harris and preserve shareholder value.

PROPOSAL 4: SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL

​

BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ STATEMENT AGAINST THE SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL

The Board has carefully considered this proposal and believes that it is not in the best interests of L3Harris or our shareholders. We have discussed the subject matter of this proposal with many of our largest shareholders, and the Board’s view with respect to this proposal was informed by those discussions. For the following reasons, the Board unanimously recommends that you vote “Against” Proposal 4.

We are committed to ensuring that L3Harris’ political activities follow our policy to conduct business ethically, transparently and in compliance with law. We have a public webpage, www.l3harris.com/political-activities, that provides detailed information regarding our political activity.

L3Harris’ political activities are governed by the following practices and principles:

| > | L3Harris does not make direct political contributions to any political candidate or political action committees, with all political contributions made through its employee voluntarily funded political action committee (“PAC”);

| > | L3Harris has a Political Advocacy Policy governing all political advocacy, lobbying and contributions by or on behalf of L3Harris at Federal, state and local levels;

| > | L3Harris provides a list of its memberships in industry and other associations engaged in political activities with its Sustainability Report; and

| > | L3Harris’ Vice President of Government Relations, who manages our political activities with oversight from our Nominating and Governance Committee and Board, is elected by the Board and reports directly to our CEO.

Our dedicated public webpage provides extensive disclosures on our political activities and lobbying, including:

| > | Details of the organization, oversight, disbursement guidelines and activities of our employee voluntarily funded PAC, including a full list of all candidates who received contributions;

| > | Our memberships in and details of our fees and contributions to industry and other associations engaged in political activities in excess of $25,000, including the percentage of funds spent by each such organization on political activities;

| > | Our annual state level lobbying expenses in a single document, by lobbyist and amount, providing a transparent picture of lobbying across jurisdictions;

| > | Our total quarterly Federal expenses related to lobbying, a summary of the issue areas in which we engaged in lobbying and the names of L3Harris’ registered lobbyists, and similar information for state lobbying, easily accessible by links; and

| > | Our management’s, our Board’s and our Nominating and Governance Committee’s oversight for lobbying and political activity.

The oversight and internal compliance procedures for political activities contained in our Political Advocacy Policy are available to our shareholders on our dedicated public webpage. Our Board, through our Nominating and Governance Committee, reviews and oversees compliance with the Political Advocacy Policy. The Political Advocacy Policy addresses lobbying public officials, making corporate or personal political contributions and supporting our employee voluntarily funded PAC, among other matters. We amended this Political Advocacy Policy in February 2023 to specifically provide for Board oversight and additional guidelines surrounding political spending and communications. Our Political Advocacy Policy currently requires, among other things:

| > | That all political and lobbying spending must reflect our interests, as an entity, and not those of any individual and is solely focused on educating policy makers about our core values and solutions to meet our customers’ mission-critical needs across space, air, land, sea and cyber domains;

| > | That L3Harris make no direct contributions to any candidate or political action committee, with all contributions made through our employee voluntarily funded PAC;

| > | Oversight of lobbying and political activities by or on behalf of L3Harris by our Nominating and Governance Committee;

| > | Regular reporting of political activities by or on behalf of L3Harris to our Nominating and Governance Committee;

| > | Pre-approval of contributions to state and local candidates in jurisdictions with pay-to-play laws by L3Harris employees involved in government contracting activities, with a prohibition on employees being coerced to make any contributions or reimbursed in any way for contributions;

| > | Disclosure on our dedicated public webpage of all employee voluntarily funded PAC distributions and indirect political contributions by L3Harris to industry and other associations; and

| > | Disclosure of (i) procedures for our lobbying and political activities, (ii) oversight of our lobbying and political activities and (iii) participation in trade and industry associations.

Based on our efforts and transparency, the Board believes that substantially all of the information requested by this proposal is available on our dedicated public webpage, and a report containing similar information would be duplicative and result in the unnecessary expenditure of additional resources.

Receiving Proxy Materials

WHAT IS A PROXY AND WHAT IS A PROXY STATEMENT?

A proxy is your legal designation of another person (your proxy) to vote the shares you own. The document in which you designate someone as your proxy is also called a proxy.

We are required by law to provide a proxy statement to you when we ask you to name a proxy to vote your shares. It contains background information on the matters that are being put to a vote. This document you are reading is a proxy statement. We encourage you to read it carefully before voting.

HOW CAN I RECEIVE PROXY MATERIALS FOR THE 2025 ANNUAL MEETING?

Over the Internet

SEC rules permit us to furnish proxy materials over the Internet. As a result, our practice is to mail to most of our shareholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials instead of a paper copy of our proxy materials.

Your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or proxy/voting instruction card contains instructions for viewing our proxy materials for the 2025 Annual Meeting over the Internet. It also explains how you can request a paper copy of the proxy materials or elect to receive future proxy materials by e-mail.

Through the mail

If you previously requested to receive paper copies of our proxy materials, you will receive a paper copy of our proxy materials by mail.

By e-mail

If you previously elected to receive proxy materials by e-mail, you will receive an e-mail containing instructions, and links to our proxy materials and the proxy voting website.

Our proxy materials also are available on our website at www.l3harris.com/company/environmental-social-and-governance.

HOW CAN I CHANGE THE WAY I RECEIVE PROXY MATERIALS?

To elect to receive proxy materials by e-mail, follow the instructions in your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or proxy/voting instruction card. Electing to receive future proxy materials by e-mail will help us conserve natural resources and reduce printing and mailing costs. This election will remain in effect until you terminate it.

Instructions for obtaining a paper copy of our proxy materials are also contained in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and the e-mail regarding the availability of our proxy materials.

WHAT IF I RECEIVED MORE THAN ONE NOTICE OF INTERNET AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS OR MORE THAN ONE PROXY/VOTING INSTRUCTION CARD, OR I SHARE THE SAME ADDRESS WITH ANOTHER L3HARRIS SHAREHOLDER?

If you receive more than one Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or more than one proxy/voting instruction card, this means you own shares of L3Harris common stock in multiple accounts with your brokers(s) and/or our transfer agent. Please vote all of these shares.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

​

If you share an address with one or more other L3Harris shareholders, you may have received only a single Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or proxy/voting instruction card for your entire household. This practice, known as “householding,” is intended to conserve natural resources and reduce printing and mailing costs. If you are a record holder (shares are registered in your name) and you prefer to receive a separate Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or proxy/voting instruction card this year or in the future, or if you are receiving multiple copies at your address and would like to enroll in “householding” and receive a single copy, please contact our transfer agent Computershare Shareowner Services by telephone at 1-888-261-6777 or over the Internet at www-us.computershare.com/Investor. If you are a “beneficial owner” (your shares are registered or held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee), please contact your broker, bank or other nominee to make your request. There is no charge for separate copies.

Voting Your Shares

WHO IS ENTITLED TO VOTE AT THE MEETING?

Owners of L3Harris common stock as of the close of business on February 28, 2025 (the “record date”) are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the 2025 Annual Meeting and at any adjournments or postponements thereof.

The record date was established by our Board as required under the laws of Delaware, our state of incorporation.

On the record date, there were 187,716,345 shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the 2025 Annual Meeting, approximately 9,139 holders of record, and approximately 1,202,855 beneficial owners holding shares in “street name.”

HOW MANY VOTES DO I HAVE?

You are entitled to one vote for each share of L3Harris common stock that you owned as of the close of business on February 28, 2025, and you may vote all of those shares.

WHAT IS A QUORUM?

A quorum is the minimum number of shares that must be represented, either in person or by proxy, for us to hold the 2025 Annual Meeting. The shares of a shareholder who attends the virtual Annual Meeting as an authenticated shareholder or who grants a proxy will be considered present at the 2025 Annual Meeting and counted toward the quorum.

The attendance in person or by proxy of holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote at the 2025 Annual Meeting, or 93,858,173 shares, will constitute a quorum.

HOW DO I VOTE MY SHARES?

| BEFORE THE ANNUAL MEETING: |
​ | ​ |  | Over the Internet at www.proxyvote.com, following the voting instructions on that website; | ​
​ |  |  | By telephone; 1-800-690-6903 |  |  | By mail; or | ​
​ | DURING THE VIRTUAL ANNUAL MEETING: | ​
​ |  |  | Over the Internet at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LHX2025, following the voting instructions on that website. | ​

​

Even if you plan to attend the virtual Annual Meeting over the Internet, we encourage you to vote your shares before the Annual Meeting over the Internet, by telephone or by mail. Please carefully read the instructions below on how to vote your shares. Because the instructions vary depending on how you own your shares and the method you use to vote your shares, it is important to follow the instructions for your particular situation.

If you vote your shares before the Annual Meeting over the Internet or by telephone, you should not return a proxy/voting instruction card.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A “RECORD HOLDER” AND A “BENEFICIAL OWNER” HOLDING SHARES IN “STREET NAME”?

You are a “record holder” if your shares are registered in your name, in which case you either hold a stock certificate or have an account directly with our transfer agent, Computershare Shareowner Services. Your shares are held in “street name” if your shares are registered or held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, in which case you are considered the “beneficial owner” of such shares.

HOW DO I VOTE MY SHARES IF I AM A “RECORD HOLDER” (SHARES REGISTERED IN MY NAME)?

Over the Internet (before the Annual Meeting)

You may submit your proxy/voting instruction over the Internet by following the instructions sent to you in the mailed Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, the mailed proxy/voting instruction card or the email notifying you that the proxy materials were available (as applicable). You will be able to confirm that the Internet voting system has properly recorded your vote, which will be counted immediately, and there is no need to return a proxy/voting instruction card.

By telephone (before the Annual Meeting)

If you live in the United States or Canada, you may vote by calling 1-800-690-6903 (toll-free). You will need the control number sent to you in the mailed Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, the mailed proxy/voting instruction card or the email notifying you that the proxy materials were available (as applicable). You will be able to confirm that the telephone voting system has properly recorded your vote, which will be counted immediately, and there is no need to return a proxy/voting instruction card.

By mail (before the Annual Meeting)

If you received a proxy/voting instruction card by mail, you can vote by completing, signing, dating and promptly mailing your proxy/voting instruction card in the accompanying postage-paid return envelope.

At the virtual Annual Meeting

You can vote at the virtual Annual Meeting by following the voting instructions on the virtual meeting website.

HOW DO I VOTE MY SHARES IF I AM A “BENEFICIAL OWNER” (SHARES HELD IN “STREET NAME”)?

Over the Internet, by telephone or by mail (before the Annual Meeting)

You have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares using the method(s) they have specified. If your broker, bank or other nominee participates in

70 L3HARRIS 2025 PROXY STATEMENT

​
​
​
​
​
​
INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

​

an Internet or telephone voting program, then you may be able to use that method, in addition to voting by mail. These programs provide eligible “street name” shareholders the opportunity to vote over the Internet or by telephone. Voting forms will provide instructions for shareholders whose brokerage firms, banks or other nominees are participating in these programs.

At the virtual Annual Meeting

You should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to obtain a “broker’s proxy” and voting instructions.

CAN I REVOKE MY PROXY OR CHANGE MY VOTE?

If you are a record holder, you may revoke your proxy or change your vote at any time before the Annual Meeting if you:

> | Send a written notice of revocation to our Secretary at L3Harris Technologies, Inc., Attention: Secretary, 1025 West NASA Boulevard, Melbourne, Florida 32919;

> | Sign and deliver a proxy/voting instruction card that bears a later date;

> | Cast a new vote over the Internet or by telephone; or

> | Attend the virtual Annual Meeting and follow the voting instructions on the virtual meeting website.

If your shares are held in “street name,” you may revoke your proxy or change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee.

HOW DO I VOTE MY SHARES HELD IN THE L3HARRIS STOCK FUND THROUGH THE L3HARRIS RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN OR THE AVIATION COMMUNICATIONS & SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS 401(K) PLAN?

If you are a participant in one of the above plans, you may provide voting instructions for the shares of L3Harris common stock credited to your account in the L3Harris Stock Fund to the trustee of the applicable plan over the Internet, by telephone or by mail as described above. If you do not timely provide voting instructions for those shares, then as directed by the terms of those plans, those shares will be voted by the trustee (i) for the L3Harris Retirement Savings Plan, at the direction of an independent fiduciary appointed for such purpose, and (ii) for the Aviation Communications and Surveillance Systems 401(k) Plan, in the same proportion as the shares for which other participants in the applicable plan have timely provided voting instructions, in each case, except as otherwise required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).

HOW DO I VOTE MY SHARES HELD IN THE COMPANY’S DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN?

If you are a participant in the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“DRIP”) administered by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., your voting instruction covers the shares of L3Harris common stock held in your DRIP account. Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as the DRIP administrator, is the shareholder of record of L3Harris common stock owned through the DRIP and

will not vote those shares unless you provide it with voting instructions, which you may do over the Internet, by telephone or by mail as described above.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I RETURN AN UNMARKED PROXY/VOTING INSTRUCTION CARD?

If you properly execute and return a proxy/voting instruction card with no votes marked, your shares will be voted as recommended by our Board. Our Board has unanimously recommended that shareholders vote:

> | FOR election of all 13 of the nominees for director for a one-year term expiring at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (Proposal 1);

> | FOR approval, in an advisory vote, of the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement (Proposal 2);

> | FOR ratification of appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year 2025 (Proposal 3); and

> | AGAINST a shareholder proposal titled “Transparency in Lobbying” if properly presented (Proposal 4).

COULD OTHER MATTERS BE DECIDED AT THE MEETING?

At the date of this proxy statement, our Board did not know of any matters to be raised at the Annual Meeting other than those referred to in this proxy statement, and did not intend to bring before the Annual Meeting any matter other than the proposals described in this proxy statement. The deadline under our By-Laws for any shareholder proposal not discussed in this proxy statement to be properly presented at the Annual Meeting has passed. If any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof, your shares will be voted at the discretion of the proxy holders.

HOW WILL MY SHARES BE VOTED IF I DO NOT PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONS TO MY BROKER?

It is possible for a proxy to indicate that some of the shares represented are not being voted with respect to certain proposals. This occurs, for example, when a broker, bank or other nominee does not have discretion under NYSE rules to vote on a matter without instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares and has not received such instructions. In these cases, the unvoted shares will not be considered present and entitled to vote with respect to that matter, although they may be considered present and entitled to vote for other purposes and will be counted in determining the presence of a quorum.

Under NYSE rules, only Proposal 3 (to ratify appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year 2025) is “routine” and, as such, your broker, bank or other nominee will not have the discretion to vote your shares on any proposal in this proxy statement other than Proposal 3.

APPENDIX A: RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

​

To supplement our net income, net cash provided by operating activities and EPS financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, we provide the non-GAAP financial measures shown in the reconciliation table below, which have been adjusted to include, exclude or deduct certain costs, charges, expenses, losses or other amounts, because we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. We also believe that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze our business trends and to understand our performance. In addition, we may utilize non-GAAP financial measures as guides in our forecasting, budgeting and long-term planning processes, and to measure operating performance for some management compensation purposes. Any analysis of non-GAAP financial measures should be used only in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP follows:
