Director Compensation
Director Compensation Director compensation is an important tool used to attract and retain qualified directors and to address the time, effort, expertise and accountability required of active Board membership. The Governance Committee annually reviews publicly available data for the companies in the comparator group we use for benchmarking executive compensation disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and makes recommendations to the Board regarding compensation for non-employee directors. Although the Governance Committee reviews director compensation annually, it has been the practice of the Governance Committee to recommend changes no more frequently than every two years and when making changes to set compensation above the median with the expectation that compensation will decline relative to the median over the two year cycle. In 2023, Meridian, acting as independent compensation consultant to the Governance Committee, assisted in its review of director compensation and best practices in director compensation design. Based upon that review and the market data, the Board did not make any changes to director compensation in 2023. The last changes to director compensation were approved by the Board in September 2022 and were effective January 1, 2023. Equity is granted once annually and the cash retainers are paid in quarterly installments.

Compensation Overview
Compensation Overview Our executive compensation programs covering our NEOs are designed to attract and retain critical executive talent, to motivate behaviors that align with stockholders’ interests and to pay for performance. We use the 50th percentile of our comparator group (shown on page 48) as a benchmark to set target total compensation around the 50th percentile with modest variations due to market data fluctuations year-over-year. The Compensation Committee also considers experience, performance and value in role when setting target compensation levels for our NEOs, while allowing incentive payouts to exceed or fall below the target levels based upon actual performance. This outcome is consistent with our pay-for-performance philosophy to set pay and targets at market levels, but pay incentive compensation that reflects actual performance.
2023 CEO Compensation
| 2023 CEO Target Pay Mix. We believe that the compensation opportunities of our CEO should be predominantly variable, and the variable elements of the compensation package should tie to the Company’s long-term success and sustainable long-term total returns to our stockholders. As shown in the chart to the right, a significant portion of our CEO’s target compensation is variable and in the form of long-term incentives (LTI) with more than half of total target pay in the form of equity-based incentives. Base Salary. In 2023, Mr. Taiclet’s annual base salary was set at $1,751,000, which has remained unchanged since 2021. 2023 Annual Incentive. Mr. Taiclet’s target annual incentive amount for 2023 was 190% of salary, or $3,326,900. 2023-2025 Long-Term Incentives. In 2023, Mr. Taiclet was granted an annual LTI award of $16 million, which was allocated 50% in PSUs, 30% in Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) and 20% in the cash-based LTI performance award (LTIP). RSUs will cliff-vest after three years, while the payout of PSUs and LTIP will be based upon our results at the end of the three-year performance period relative to the three-year performance goals that were established in the beginning of 2023. Benefit and Retirement Plans. Mr. Taiclet is eligible for benefit and retirement programs, similar to other salaried employees. None of our NEOs received additional years of service credits or other forms of formula enhancements under our benefit or retirement plans. Mr. Taiclet does not participate in our pension plan. | CEO Target Opportunity Mix * | | | | | | * Fixed vs. variable and cash vs. equity components are designated in the 2023 Compensation Elements table on page 49. We consider base salary and annual incentives as short-term pay and PSUs, LTIP and RSUs as long-term pay. Cash represents base salary, annual incentive target and LTIP target. We do not include retirement or other compensation components in the chart. |

How We Determine Market Rate Compensation
How We Determine Market Rate Compensation For each of the principal elements of executive compensation, we define the “market rate” as the size-adjusted 50th percentile of our comparator group of companies. Size-adjusted market rates are calculated for us by Aon, using revenue regression analysis. This statistical technique accounts for revenue size differences within the peer group and results in a market rate for all compensation elements consistent with our revenue relationship to our peers. We also may adjust the market rate to reflect differences in an executive’s job scope relative to the industry or the comparator group of companies, as appropriate. Our incentive plans are designed so that actual performance in excess of established performance targets results in payouts above target and actual performance below established performance targets results in payouts below target or no payout.
How We Select the Comparator Group for Market Rate Purposes
How We Select the Comparator Group for Market Rate Purposes The Compensation Committee annually reviews our comparator group to maintain relevancy and to ensure the availability of data, while seeking to avoid significant annual changes in the group to ensure a level of consistency. The criteria used to determine the comparator group is set forth below:
How We Select the Comparator Group for Market Rate Purposes
| Set an Initial List of Companies Attributes •Traded on a major U.S. exchange •Similarity in annual revenue •Participation in Aon executive compensation survey | | Apply Refining Criteria to Select Final Comparator Group Refining Criteria •Industrial companies that face similar macro-economic pressures •Companies we compete with for executive talent •Companies with comparable executive officer positions |
How We Select the Comparator Group for Market Rate Purposes
The comparator group data presented to and considered by the Compensation Committee was developed from the proprietary results of the Aon executive compensation survey, subject to review by Meridian. All of the 2023 comparator group companies participated in the Aon survey. The 2023 comparator group was the same as 2022. Our 2023 revenues represented the 69th percentile of the comparator group.

2023 Annual Incentive
2023 Annual Incentive The 2023 annual incentive plan for our CEO, other NEOs and all other officers elected by the Board was based 70% on financial goals and 30% on strategic and operational goals measured at the enterprise level, as illustrated in the graphic below. Although the annual incentive plan uses a formulaic approach, the Compensation Committee retains discretion in administering the plan, which discretion includes choosing and approving goals, assessing strategic and operational results and modifying payouts based on business segment and individual performance for any officer elected by the Board, including the NEOs. The committee did not exercise any discretion in modifying payouts for the NEOs in 2023. Under the terms of our annual incentive plan, the CEO’s annual incentive and the annual incentive for each of the other NEOs cannot exceed 0.3% and 0.2%, respectively, of Cash from Operations. Annual incentive payouts range from 0% to 200% of target.
2023 Annual Incentive Goals and Results
2023 Annual Incentive Goals and Results At its February 2023 meeting, the Compensation Committee approved enterprise-wide objectives for 2023 reflecting financial and strategic and operational goals. These goals are used as the Enterprise Component for all executives in the Company and serve as the only goals for the CEO, NEOs and all other officers elected by the Board. Financial Assessment (70% Weight). The financial metrics used in the 2023 annual incentive plan are Sales, Segment Operating Profit and Free Cash Flow. The target (100%) payout levels for each metric align with the annual financial outlook we disclose publicly in January, which we believe appropriately links compensation outcomes to our success in meeting our commitments to our stockholders. We base our financial outlook on information and assumptions developed through our long-range planning process, including assessments of industry trends and competitive assessments, current and future projected program performance levels and the risks and opportunities facing our business. In February 2023 the Compensation Committee required that certain adjustments be made to Free Cash Flow and Segment Operating Profit when calculating incentive compensation so that annual incentive payouts would not be positively or negatively impacted by specified events that would result in a difference between planned and actual financial results. See Appendix A for a description of these potential adjustments and actual adjustments for 2023. The Compensation Committee also set threshold (50%) and maximum (200%) payout levels for each of these metrics based on an assessment of our past performance trends and long-range plan to ensure each goal was set with an appropriate level of rigor. We use linear interpolation between target and both the minimum and maximum performance levels to determine payout levels. This table sets out the 2023 annual incentive financial goals, results, weighting and payout approved by the Compensation Committee:

2023 Annual Incentive Goals and Results
Strategic & Operational Assessment (30% Weight). At the start of 2023, the Compensation Committee established, a broad set of goals for our strategic and operational commitments, including goals tied to enterprise performance, new business and growth, strategy and ESG. These strategic and operational goals are both quantitative and qualitative in nature and measured against pre-established criteria using a scorecard approach. When determining the payout factor, the Compensation Committee considers the Company’s results and evaluates performance in totality. The strategic and operational goals and assessments are set forth below. The Compensation Committee reviewed these accomplishments and determined the payout factor to recognize the Company’s strong operational performance in a highly competitive environment while undertaking and executing major strategic initiatives.

| | | | | PSU Awards (50% of the LTI award) |
2023 Long-Term Incentive Compensation
PSU awards generally are calculated by multiplying the overall target LTI award value (as shown in the table on page 49) by the 50% weighting assigned to the PSU portion. The number of PSUs granted is determined based on the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE on the date of grant. Each NEO’s PSU target number of shares is determined as of the grant date of the award, and the actual number of shares earned at the end of the period is calculated based on our performance measured against the three financial metrics as follows: 50% Relative TSR, 25% ROIC and 25% Free Cash Flow. The number of shares granted at the end of the cycle can range from 0% to 200% of the applicable target number of shares. If absolute TSR is negative at the end of the performance cycle, the payout factor for the Relative TSR measure is capped at 100%. In addition, the maximum value that can be earned under a PSU award is 400% of the stock price on the date of grant times the shares earned. The award calculation is formulaic pursuant to the provisions defined in the award agreement, and no discretion can be applied to the final number of shares granted, which is determined based on the performance outcomes relative to our pre-set goals. Participants also accrue deferred dividend equivalents on the shares earned, which are paid in cash following vesting of the underlying shares.

2023 Long-Term Incentive Compensation
RSU awards are calculated by multiplying the overall target LTI award value (as shown in the table on page 49) by the 30% weighting assigned to the RSU portion. The number of RSUs granted is determined based on the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE on the date of grant. Deferred dividend equivalents are accrued during the vesting period and paid in cash following the vesting of the underlying shares.
2023 Long-Term Incentive Compensation
| | | | | LTIP Awards (20% of the LTI award) |
2023 Long-Term Incentive Compensation
LTIP awards are cash-based and are calculated by multiplying the overall target LTI award value (as shown in the table on page 49) by the 20% weighting assigned to the LTIP portion. Each NEO’s LTIP target is determined at the time of grant, and the actual award earned at the end of the three-year performance period is calculated based on the same performance measures as those used for the PSUs (50% Relative TSR, 25% ROIC and 25% Free Cash Flow). Payouts can range from 0% to 200% of the applicable target. If absolute TSR is negative at the end of the performance cycle, the payout factor for the Relative TSR measure is capped at 100%. The award calculation is formulaic pursuant to the provisions defined in the award agreement, and no discretion can be applied to the final payout factor, which is determined based on the performance outcomes relative to our pre-set goals. For the 2023-2025 LTIP grants, any amount payable to a single participant in excess of $10 million will be forfeited.

Selection of LTI Performance Measures
Selection of LTI Performance Measures The LTI performance metrics approved by the Compensation Committee are measures that we believe effectively support our long-term business and strategic goals and directly tie the long-term goals of our executive leadership team to the interests of our stockholders. The measurements used for the financial component of our 2023 annual incentive plan (Sales, Segment Operating Profit and Free Cash Flow) also serve as the foundation for achieving our long-term goals such that we must consistently achieve or exceed the Company’s annual goals in order to achieve our LTI goals. The selected LTI performance metrics are Relative TSR (50% weight), ROIC (25% weight) and Free Cash Flow (25% weight). We chose these three metrics because we believe they represented good measures of value creation for the Company over a long-term period. We also applied equal weighting to the market-based measure of value creation, TSR, to the internal measures of value creation, Free Cash Flow and ROIC. Starting in 2022, the Compensation Committee approved the use of Free Cash Flow to replace Cash From Operations and Performance Cash under the annual and long-term incentive plans. The use of Free Cash Flow better aligns to Company strategy as it incorporates capital expenditures. With respect to Relative TSR, the Compensation Committee used a comparator group of 31 companies that generally met the following parameters as of January 1, 2023, which were the same criteria used for the 2021 and 2022 grants: •Global Industry Classification Standard - GICS 2010 - Capital Goods •Listed on a major U.S. index •Revenue >$10B and Market cap >$5B The Relative TSR Comparators for the 2023-2025 performance cycle are shown below:

Selection of LTI Performance Measures
Because the Relative TSR index is not perfectly aligned with the businesses in which Lockheed Martin operates and because any number of macro-economic factors that could affect market performance are beyond the control of the Company, we use ROIC and Free Cash Flow as internal measures that are directly affected by management’s decisions. While Relative TSR ensures a direct linkage between stockholder returns and realized compensation, ROIC measures how effectively we employ our capital over time, with Free Cash Flow providing the means for investment and value creation. Our internal financial metrics, ROIC and Free Cash Flow, are also critical because we believe these metrics are key drivers of long-term stockholder value. By including a cash measure in both our annual and long-term incentive plans, the plans mitigate the risk of short-term cash strategies that do not create long-term value. In tandem, we believe that these metrics drive the behaviors of our management team in ways that are intended to create the most value for our stockholders.
Setting Performance Goals for PSUs and LTIP
Setting Performance Goals for PSUs and LTIP Our long-range planning process is used to establish the target (100% level of payment) for the Free Cash Flow and ROIC metrics in the PSU and LTIP grants. In setting minimum and maximum levels of payment, we reviewed historical levels of performance against long-range plan commitments, and conducted sensitivity analyses on alternative outcomes focused on identifying likely minimum and maximum boundary performance levels. Levels between 100% and the minimum and maximum levels were derived using linear interpolation between the performance hurdles.

Setting Performance Goals for PSUs and LTIP
The specific Free Cash Flow and ROIC target values for the 2023-2025 PSU and LTIP grants are not publicly disclosed at the time of grant due to the proprietary nature and competitive sensitivity of that information. However, the method used to calculate the awards will be based on actual performance compared to the Company’s 2023-2025 targets, which uses linear interpolation between points. The individual award agreements require pre-specified adjustments to Free Cash Flow and ROIC so that the ultimate payouts are not impacted to the benefit or detriment of management by specified events that would result in a difference between planned and actual financial results. See Appendix A for more information on these potential adjustments and actual adjustments for the 2021-2023 award cycle. The Compensation Committee does not have discretion to adjust the results of the PSU and LTIP awards beyond the adjustments specified in the award agreements.

2021-2023 LTIP and PSU Awards The cash-based LTIP and share-based PSU payouts for the three-year performance period ended December 31, 2023 shown below were calculated by comparing actual corporate performance for each metric for the period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023, against payment levels from 0% to 200% (with the 100% payout level being considered target) established at the beginning of the performance period in February 2021. In June 2021, the Compensation Committee approved amendments to these awards to neutralize the impact of the pension expense and funding provisions of the American Rescue Plan Act. In February 2023, the Compensation Committee approved additional amendments to these awards to ensure neutralization of the impact of changes in tax laws or interpretation of tax laws related to the amortization of R&D expenditures for tax purposes by adjusting net income and to neutralize the impact of profit changes due to the timing or recognition of a loss on a specific strategic program approved by the Compensation Committee. Neutralizing the impact of these items ensures they do not affect payouts to a participant’s benefit or detriment.

Our Use of Independent Compensation Consultants
Our Use of Independent Compensation Consultants The independent compensation consultant provides important information about market practices, the types and amounts of compensation offered to executives generally and the role of corporate governance considerations in making compensation decisions. The Compensation Committee’s charter authorizes it to retain outside advisors that it believes are appropriate to assist in evaluating executive compensation. For 2023, the Compensation Committee continued to retain Meridian as an independent compensation consultant. In connection with its retention of Meridian, the Compensation Committee considered the following factors in assessing Meridian’s independence: •Meridian’s services for the Company are limited to executive and director compensation. •The compensation paid to Meridian is less than 1% of Meridian’s revenues. •Meridian has business ethics and insider trading and stock ownership policies, which are designed to avoid conflicts of interest. •Meridian employees supporting the engagement and their immediate family members do not own Lockheed Martin securities. •Meridian employees supporting the engagement have no business or personal relationships with members of the Compensation Committee or with any Lockheed Martin executive officer. At its February 2024 meeting, the Compensation Committee renewed the engagement of Meridian. At that time, Meridian confirmed the continuing accuracy of each of the factors described above. The nature and scope of Meridian’s engagement was determined by the Compensation Committee and not limited in any way by management.
Policy Regarding Timing of Equity Grants
Policy Regarding Timing of Equity Grants We have a corporate policy statement concerning the grant of equity awards. Under that policy: •The Compensation Committee is responsible for determining the grant date of all equity awards to executive officers. •Annual equity awards are generally presented to the Compensation Committee and granted in February of each year. •No equity award may be backdated. A future date may be used if, among other reasons, the Compensation Committee’s action occurs in proximity to the release of earnings or during a trading blackout period. •Equity plans explicitly prohibit repricing of stock options or paying cash for underwater stock options. •Off-cycle awards may be considered in special circumstances, which may include hiring, retention or acquisition transactions.

Clawback and Other Protective Provisions
Clawback and Other Protective Provisions Effective October 2, 2023, the Board adopted a mandatory clawback policy that implemented the new SEC and NYSE mandatory clawback rules. As stipulated in our Governance Guidelines, the policy requires the Company to recover from its executive officers certain incentive-based compensation that is erroneously paid in connection with an accounting restatement. The Compensation Committee of the Board administers this mandatory clawback policy. Notably, our existing clawback policy remains in our Governance Guidelines as a supplemental policy and continues to provide that if the Board of Directors determines that (i) an officer’s intentional misconduct, gross negligence or failure to report such acts by another person is a contributing factor in requiring us to restate any of our financial statements or constituted fraud, bribery or another illegal act (or contributed to another person’s fraud, bribery or other illegal act) that adversely impacts our financial position or reputation; (ii) an officer’s intentional misconduct or gross negligence causes severe reputational or financial harm to the Company; or (iii) an officer’s misappropriation of Lockheed Martin Proprietary Information (as defined in the policy) causes, or is intended to cause, severe reputational or financial harm to the Company, then the Board shall take such action as it deems in the best interest of the Company and necessary to remedy the misconduct and prevent its recurrence. Among other actions, the Board may seek to recover or require reimbursement of amounts awarded to the officer in the form of an annual incentive or LTI award. This supplemental clawback policy is incorporated into our annual incentive plan and in the award agreements for the long-term incentive awards, covering all variable incentive compensation. There were no events requiring Board consideration of a clawback action during 2023. If the Board recoups incentive compensation under either policy, management intends to disclose the aggregate amount of incentive compensation recovered, so long as the underlying event has already been publicly disclosed in our filings with the SEC. This disclosure would appear in the proxy statement following any such Board action and would provide the aggregate amount of recovery for each event if there is more than one applicable event. All executive-level award agreements also contain post-employment restrictive covenants, and compensation awarded under those agreements may be subject to clawback in the event an executive breaches any of the post-employment restrictive covenants.
Benefit, Retirement and Perquisite Programs
Benefit, Retirement and Perquisite Programs We offer other compensatory arrangements to our NEOs. The purpose for these benefits is to ensure security of executives, provide assistance with business-related expenses and be competitive with the other companies in our industry. Below is a summary of programs available to our NEOs. Further details are described in footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table on page 60. Health, Welfare and Retirement Benefits. Our NEOs are eligible for savings, pension, medical, disability and life insurance benefits under the plans available to salaried, non-union employees. We offer supplemental pension and savings plans to make up for benefits that otherwise would be unavailable due to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) limits on qualified plans. These plans are restorative and do not provide an enhanced benefit. We also offer a plan for the deferral of short-term and long-term cash performance incentive compensation. Pension and supplemental pension plans that the NEOs participate in were completely frozen effective January 1, 2020. Mr. Taiclet and Mr. Malave do not participate in any Company pension or supplemental pension plan. Perquisites and Security. Perquisites provided to the NEOs include executive physicals, relocation assistance (when applicable), personal travel on the corporate aircraft, gifts for retirement or years of service milestones (when applicable), and home and personal security as needed to address security concerns arising out of our business. The Board believes it is important to provide security due to the nature of our defense business and because it believes that an employee should not be placed at personal risk due to his or her association with the Company. The Classified Business and Security Committee reviews security recommendations from our Chief Security Officer and may authorize precautionary actions to respond to security risks and direct threats involving our executive officers. As an example, our Board has directed our CEO to use corporate aircraft for security reasons while on business and personal travel. Other NEOs may also use the corporate aircraft for personal travel depending on circumstances and availability. For 2023, personal use of the corporate aircraft for Mr. Taiclet amounted to $1,072,901, of which $394,406 related to flights exclusively personal in nature. The remainder is the incremental cost of flights that were associated with a Lockheed Martin business purpose, including the incremental cost of (i) travel to the Company’s headquarters for business purposes from an out-of-state residence of $183,035, (ii) re-positioning (“deadhead”) flights associated with such travel given the home base of the corporate aircraft and flight crew of $202,771, and (iii) flights, including deadheads, related to Lockheed Martin business originating or ending in a location other than the Company’s headquarters of $292,689. Tax Assistance. We do not have agreements or severance arrangements that provide tax gross-ups for excise taxes imposed as a result of a change in control. In 2023, we provided tax assistance for taxable security expenses, relocation-related expenses in accordance with our relocation policies and travel expenses for a family member accompanying a NEO on travel determined to be business travel for tax purposes. In addition, we pay an amount estimated to cover the state income tax imposed on employees who became subject to income tax in a state other than their state of residence due to business travel. Tax assistance was provided for these items because the associated tax liability imposed on the executive would not have been incurred unless business reasons required the items to be provided or the executive to travel to the non-resident state. We do not provide tax assistance on personal use of the corporate aircraft.
Post-Employment, Change in Control, Divestiture and Severance Benefits
Post-Employment, Change in Control, Divestiture and Severance Benefits Our NEOs do not have employment agreements, but participate in the Lockheed Martin Corporation Executive Severance Plan. Benefits are payable under this plan in the event of a Company-initiated termination of employment other than for cause. All of the NEOs are covered under the plan. The benefit payable in a lump sum under the plan is two weeks of basic severance plus a supplemental payment of one times the NEO’s base salary plus the equivalent of one year’s target annual incentive. For the CEO, the multiplier is 2.99 instead of one. NEOs participating in the plan also receive a lump sum payment to cover the cost of medical, dental and vision benefits for one year in addition to outplacement and relocation services. To receive the supplemental severance benefit, the NEO must execute a release of claims and an agreement containing post-employment, non-compete and non-solicitation covenants identical to those included in our NEOs’ LTI award agreements. With respect to LTI, upon certain terminations of employment, including death, disability, retirement, layoff, divestiture or a change in control, the NEOs may be eligible for continued or pro rata vesting on the normal schedule, immediate payment of benefits previously earned or accelerated vesting of LTI awards in full or on a pro rata basis. The type of event and the nature of the benefit determine which of these approaches will apply. The purpose of these provisions is to protect previously earned or granted benefits by making them available following the specified event. We view the vesting (or continued vesting) to be an important retention feature for senior-level employees. Because benefits paid at termination consist of previously granted or earned benefits, we do not consider termination benefits as a separate item in compensation decisions. Our LTI awards do not provide for tax assistance. In the event of a change in control, our plans provide for the acceleration of the payment of the non-qualified portion of earned pension benefits and non-qualified deferred compensation. All LTI awards require a “double trigger” for vesting to accelerate (both a change in control and a qualifying termination of employment), unless the successor does not assume or continue the awards or provide substitute awards.

Summary Compensation Table
(1)Information for Mr. Cahill is provided only for 2023 and for Mr. Malave and Mr. Ulmer only for 2023 and 2022 because they were not NEOs in prior years. (2)Salary is paid weekly in arrears. The amount reported may vary from the approved annual rate of pay because the salary reported in the table is based on the actual number of weekly pay periods in a year and reflects mid-year increases as disclosed in the CD&A. Amounts for 2023 include payments of cash in lieu of vacation for Mr. St. John: $39,231 and Mr. Cahill: $19,097. (3)Mr. Malave received a one-time cash sign-on bonus of $750,000 in 2022 to offset a forfeited 2021 annual incentive payout from his prior employer. (4)Amounts reported in the Stock Awards column represent the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (ASC 718) for RSUs and PSUs granted in 2023, 2022 and 2021, disregarding potential forfeitures based on service requirements.

Summary Compensation Table
The ASC 718 grant date fair value of one 2023 RSU of $477.45 represents the closing price of one share of our stock on the date of grant, discounted to take into account the deferred dividend equivalents that are accrued until vesting. Values for the PSUs, which are subject to performance conditions, are based on the probable outcome on the grant date of three separate performance conditions (50% of the target shares are earned based upon Relative TSR, 25% of the target shares are earned based upon Free Cash Flow, and 25% of the target shares are earned based upon ROIC). The grant date fair value of $509.11 for the Relative TSR portion of the PSU award was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The value was determined using the historical stock price volatilities of the companies in our comparator group over the most recent 2.86-year period assuming dividends for each company are reinvested on a continuous basis and a risk-free rate of interest of 4.41% and that deferred dividend equivalents accrued on shares earned will be paid in cash upon vesting. The grant date fair value of $477.45 for the Free Cash Flow and ROIC portions of the awards is based on the closing price of our stock on the date of grant, discounted to take into account the deferred dividend equivalents that are accrued until vesting. In addition to the level of performance achieved, the value of the PSUs earned will be determined by the price of our stock on the date any shares are issued at the end of the performance period, which may be more or less than the grant date fair value.

Summary Compensation Table
The maximum grant date fair values of the 2023 PSU awards, using the Monte Carlo simulation model for the TSR metric and assuming a 200% maximum payout for the ROIC and Free Cash Flow metrics, are as follows: Mr. Taiclet: $12,212,771; Mr. Malave: $3,816,674; Mr. St. John: $4,770,254; Mr. Cahill: $3,206,182; and Mr. Ulmer: $3,206,182. (5)Amounts reported in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column represent the annual incentive amounts paid under the amended and restated Lockheed Martin Corporation 2021 Management Incentive Compensation Plan (MICP), and the amounts earned under our LTIP cash awards in the three-year period ending on December 31 of the year reported. The table below shows the respective 2023 annual incentive payouts and the amount earned under the 2021-2023 cash LTIP and reported for each NEO:

Summary Compensation Table
* Mr. Malave did not receive a 2021-2023 LTIP award because he was not employed by the Company at the time such awards were granted. (6)Amounts reported in the Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings column primarily represent the change in the present value of the pension benefit for the NEO for the year reported and is not the amount that will be paid to the NEO. The increase in present value for 2023 was primarily driven by a decrease in the discount rate used in the present value calculation. This column also reports above-market earnings on compensation that was deferred before 2009 by the NEOs under the Interest Investment Option of our Deferred Management Incentive Compensation Plan as follows: for 2023: Mr. Ulmer: $10; 2022: Mr. Ulmer: $5; and for 2021: none. See “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” for additional information on the Interest Investment Option, which was closed to new deferrals and transfers from other investment options in 2009. (7)The amounts reported in the All Other Compensation column represent perquisites and other personal benefits provided to the NEOs in 2023 including: security; relocation benefits (when applicable); annual executive physicals; home office support; use of corporate aircraft for personal travel and other related expenses; and travel and other expenses for a family member accompanying the NEO while on business travel. Not all of the listed perquisites or personal benefits were provided to each NEO. In addition, the Company made available a Company-provided car and driver for personal commuting to some of the NEOs in 2023 and may provide event tickets from time to time, but requires the NEOs to reimburse the Company for the incremental cost to the Company of such items. The cost of any category of the listed perquisites and personal benefits in 2023 did not exceed the greater of $25,000 or 10% of total perquisites and personal benefits for any NEO, except for: (i) security for Mr. Taiclet $100,335 and Mr. St. John $48,734; (ii) personal use of the corporate aircraft for Mr. Taiclet $1,072,901; Mr. St. John $326,102 and Mr. Ulmer $119,109; and (iii) relocation expenses for Mr. Cahill $419,114. Incremental cost for use of corporate aircraft for personal travel was calculated based on the costs associated with personal flights (including fuel, landing and parking fees, incremental maintenance costs, staff travel expenses, catering and other variable costs, but excluding fixed capital costs for the aircraft, Company hangar facilities and staff salaries). Our Board has directed our CEO to use corporate aircraft for security reasons while on business and personal travel. For 2023, personal use of the corporate aircraft for Mr. Taiclet included $394,406 related to flights that were exclusively personal in nature. The remainder is the incremental cost of flights that were associated with a Lockheed Martin business purpose, including the incremental cost of (i) travel to the Company’s headquarters for business purposes from an out-of-state residence of $183,035, (ii) re-positioning (“deadhead”) flights associated with such travel given the home base of the corporate aircraft and flight crew of $202,771, and (iii) flights, including deadheads, related to Lockheed Martin business originating or ending in a location other than the Company’s headquarters of $292,689. The incremental cost for personal security is calculated based on billings for services and equipment from third parties and for overtime and related expenses where the services are provided by the Company’s personnel. Given the nature of our business, additional security may be provided for travel in high-risk areas or to address particular situations. We believe that providing personal security in response to concerns arising out of employment by the Company is business-related. In addition to perquisites, the amounts in this column include the items of compensation listed in the following table. All items are paid under broad-based programs for U.S. salaried employees except for tax assistance and the match or Company contributions to the Company’s nonqualified defined contribution plans (the Lockheed Martin Corporation Supplemental Savings Plan (NQSSP) and the Lockheed Martin Corporation Nonqualified Capital Accumulation Plan (NCAP)). Amounts under Matching Gift Programs include matching contributions made to eligible non-profit organizations under the Company’s matching gift programs generally available to all employees and include contributions to be made in 2024 to match 2023 executive contributions. Amounts under Company Contributions to Health Savings Accounts reflect the Company’s annual contribution to the health savings accounts of all employees who have a high-deductible health insurance plan and additional wellness incentives available to all enrolled employees and spouses for completing specific wellness actions. Amounts under Term Life Insurance Opt-Out Credit reflect cash payments made to NEOs who opt out of the Company’s broad-based employee term life insurance program, which option is available to all salaried employees of the Company. As permitted by the disclosure regulations, the premium cost for the NEOs’ participation in the Company’s broad-based employee term life insurance has not been included. In 2023, the Company provided tax assistance on taxable security expenses, relocation related expenses, non-resident state income taxes incurred because of business travel, and travel expenses for a family member accompanying the NEO on travel determined to be business travel for tax purposes. Tax assistance was provided for these items because the associated tax liability imposed on the executive would not have been incurred unless business reasons required the items to be provided or the executive to travel to the non-resident state. For Mr. Taiclet the total tax assistance amount reported for 2023 included a payment of $42,884 attributable to non-resident income taxes, which was incurred as a result of business travel to a state other than his state of residence. For Mr. Cahill and Mr. Malave, the total tax assistance amount reported for 2023 included $156,475 and $11,359, respectively, associated with relocation expenses incurred pursuant to our relocation policy.

2023 Grants of Plan-Based Awards
(1)The amounts reported in the Estimated Future Payouts Under Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards columns include annual incentive grants (MICP) for 2023 and LTIP grants for the 2023-2025 performance period ending December 31, 2025. The MICP measures performance over a one-year period and is described under “2023 Annual Incentive” in the CD&A. The threshold, or minimum amount payable (assuming an award is earned), is 7% of target while the maximum is 200% of target. The LTIP award measures performance against three separate metrics described under “2023 Long-Term Incentive Compensation” in the CD&A. The threshold is the minimum amount payable for a specified level of performance stated in the LTIP award agreement. For the 2023-2025 award, the threshold amount payable is 6.25% of the target award. The maximum award payable under the LTIP award is 200% of target value. Awards are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment prior to the end of the performance period, except in the event of retirement or layoff occurring after six months from the date of grant or in the event of death, disability, or divestiture. In any of these events, LTIP awards are paid at the end of the performance period on a

prorated basis. Following a change in control, the 2023-2025 LTIP awards vest at the target amount upon involuntary termination without cause or voluntary termination with good reason or if the successor does not assume the LTIP awards. (2)The amounts reported in the Estimated Future Payouts Under Equity Incentive Plan Awards columns of the table include PSU awards for the 2023-2025 performance period ending December 31, 2025. PSU awards typically have a three-year vesting period ending on the third anniversary of the date of grant (i.e., February 22, 2026 for the February 22, 2023 grants). At the end of the vesting period, the amount earned is payable in shares of stock and cash representing deferred dividend equivalents accrued on the earned shares during the three-year performance period. PSU awards are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment prior to the end of the vesting period, except in the event of retirement or layoff occurring after six months from the date of grant or in the event of death, disability or divestiture. In any of these events, PSU awards are paid out at the end of the vesting period on a prorated basis. Following a change in control, the PSUs vest at the target amount upon involuntary termination without cause or voluntary termination with good reason or if the successor does not assume the PSUs. Shares are earned under the PSU awards based upon performance against three separate metrics described under “PSU Awards” in the CD&A. If performance falls below the threshold level of performance, no shares would be earned. Assuming any payment is earned, the minimum amount payable under the PSU award is 6.25% of the target shares, the lowest level payable under any of these metrics. The maximum number of shares payable under the PSU is 200% of the number of target shares. (3)The amounts reported in the All Other Stock Awards: Number of Shares of Stock or Units column show the number of RSUs granted on February 22, 2023. 2023 RSU awards vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant. RSU awards are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment prior to the end of the vesting period, except in the event of retirement or layoff occurring after six months from the date of grant or death, disability or divestiture. RSU awards vest in full immediately upon death or disability and, upon layoff after six months from the date of grant, pro rata vest and are paid following the third anniversary of the grant date. RSU awards are prorated upon divestiture if not assumed by the successor. Following a change in control, the RSUs vest upon involuntary termination without cause or voluntary termination for good reason or if the successor does not assume the RSUs. If the employee retires after six months from the date of grant, but prior to the third anniversary of the date of grant, the RSUs become nonforfeitable and are paid at the end of the vesting period. During the vesting period, deferred dividend equivalents are accrued and subject to the same vesting schedule as the underlying RSUs. At the end of the vesting period, the RSUs are paid in shares of stock and the deferred dividend equivalents are paid in cash. If any tax withholding is required on the RSUs and deferred dividend equivalents during the vesting period (for example, on account of retirement eligibility), the RSUs provide for accelerated vesting of the number of shares and deferred dividend equivalents required to satisfy the tax withholding. The award is then reduced by the number of shares and deferred dividend equivalents subject to acceleration of vesting for tax withholding. (4)The amounts reported in the Grant Date Fair Value of Stock Awards column represent the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718 for RSUs and PSUs granted in 2023, disregarding potential forfeitures based on service requirements. The grant date fair value of the 2023 RSU grant is $477.45 per RSU, which represents the closing price of one share of our common stock on the date of grant, discounted to take into account the deferred dividend equivalents accrued until vesting. The grant date fair value for the 2023 PSUs, which are subject to performance conditions, is based on the probable outcome of each of the three performance conditions. The grant date fair value of $509.11 for the Relative TSR portion of the award is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The grant date fair value of $477.45 for the Free Cash Flow and ROIC portions of the awards is based on the closing price of one share of our stock on the date of grant, discounted to take into account the deferred dividend equivalents accrued until vesting. As described in the CD&A, in determining 2023 awards of RSUs and PSUs, the closing price of Lockheed Martin common stock on the date of grant ($479.53 on February 22, 2023) was used as opposed to the grant date fair value. The use of the closing stock price versus the grant date fair value results in a difference between the amounts described in the CD&A and the amount reported in this column.

(1)Includes all unvested RSUs. RSUs vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. Also includes the PSUs granted on February 25, 2021, which had a performance period ending December 31, 2023 and a vest date of February 25, 2024. The number of shares shown in this column for the 2021-2023 PSUs is the number of shares earned based on the performance period and that were paid upon vesting. (2)The market value is calculated by multiplying the number of shares shown in the preceding column by the December 29, 2023 per share closing price of our stock ($453.24). NEOs also receive a cash payment for deferred dividend equivalents accrued through the end of the performance period for PSUs and the end of the vesting period for RSUs. (3)Represents PSUs granted on February 23, 2022 for the 2022-2024 performance period and on February 22, 2023 for the 2023-2025 performance period. The PSUs are earned and paid out in shares of our common stock at the end of the three-year vesting period based upon performance on three separate metrics (Relative TSR, Free Cash Flow and ROIC). The number of shares of stock shown in this column is based upon the threshold level of performance for each of the three metrics or, if performance on the metric has exceeded the threshold level as of December 31, 2023, the estimated level of performance as of December 31, 2023. PSUs have a vesting period ending on the third anniversary of the date of grant. (4)The market value is calculated by multiplying the number of PSUs reported in the preceding column by the December 29, 2023 per share closing price of our stock ($453.24). NEOs also receive cash payment for deferred dividend equivalents accrued through the end of the performance period.

(1)Represents (i) vesting on February 27, 2023 of RSUs and PSUs granted on February 21, 2020 following the three-year vesting period (for all NEOs except Mr. Taiclet and Mr. Malave); (ii) accelerated vesting on December 8, 2023 of a portion of RSUs granted on February 22, 2023 equal to the value of the tax withholding obligation due because the NEO is retirement-eligible (for all NEOs with outstanding 2023 RSUs except Mr. Taiclet and Mr. Malave); (iii) vesting of Mr. Taiclet’s initial equity award upon becoming CEO and Mr. St. John’s incremental equity award upon becoming COO, each granted on July 27, 2020 (Mr. Taiclet: 27,024 PSUs vesting on February 27, 2023 and 10,992 RSUs vesting on July 27, 2023; Mr. St. John: 293 PSUs vesting on February 27, 2023 and 112 RSUs vesting on July 27, 2023) and (iv) vesting on February 23, 2023 of 10,286 RSUs granted on February 23, 2022 to Mr. Malave as an equity replacement award to offset forfeited unvested incentives from his former employer. The amounts for the accelerated vesting for tax withholding represent the aggregate number of shares vested prior to the concurrent disposition of the vested shares to the Company to satisfy the tax withholding obligation. (2)Value realized was calculated based on the number of shares acquired on vesting multiplied by the per share closing price of our common stock on the date of vesting (February 23, 2023: $479.08; February 27, 2023: $479.49; July 27, 2023: $448.64; and December 8, 2023: $448.02).
Pension Benefits
Pension Benefits The NEOs (except Mr. Taiclet and Mr. Malave) have frozen benefits under (1) the Lockheed Martin Corporation Salaried Employee Retirement Program (LMRP), which is a tax-qualified plan that includes several prior plans (the Prior Plans), and (2) the Lockheed Martin Corporation Consolidated Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan (Supplemental Pension), which is a restorative plan that provides benefits in excess of the benefit payable under IRS rules through the LMRP. These plans were frozen in two steps. Increases in compensation ceased to be taken into account effective January 1, 2016 and increases in service ceased to be taken into account effective January 1, 2020. The annual pension benefit for all participants under the LMRP is determined by a final average compensation formula that multiplies (x) a percentage (1.25% of compensation below the social security wage base and 1.5% above that level) times (y) years of credited service ending with 2019 times (z) the average of the employee’s highest three years of compensation in the last ten years ending with 2015. Average compensation includes the NEO’s base salary and annual incentive payouts. None of the NEOs has been credited with any extra years of service or provided a benefit from a special or enhanced formula. Normal retirement age is 65; however, benefits are payable as early as age 55 at a reduced amount or without reduction for early retirement at age 60. Benefits are payable as a monthly annuity for the lifetime of the employee, as a joint and survivor annuity, as a life annuity with a five- or ten-year guarantee, or as a level income annuity. In addition, a portion of the retirement benefits for certain NEOs may be calculated based on the formulas specified by the Prior Plans. The Prior Plans have a number of formulas, some of which take into account the participant’s years of credited service and pay over the career of the NEO as of a specified date. Certain other formulas in the Prior Plans are based upon the final average compensation and credited service of the employee as of a specified date. Pay under certain formulas in the Prior Plans included salary, commissions, lump sum pay in lieu of a salary increase and annual incentive payouts awarded that year. All of the NEOs who participate in the LMRP, including any portion with respect to Prior Plans, were vested and are eligible for early retirement as of December 31, 2023. The Supplemental Pension uses the same formula for benefits as the tax-qualified plan uses for calculating the NEO’s benefit. Although all service recognized under the tax-qualified plan is recognized under the Supplemental Pension, a benefit would have been earned under the Supplemental Pension only in years when the NEO’s total accrued benefit would have exceeded the maximum allowable benefit accrued under the tax-qualified plan. The Supplemental Pension benefits are payable in the same forms as benefits are paid under the LMRP, except Mr. Cahill may elect a lump sum payment of his Supplemental Pension benefits due to his initial date of participation.

(1)The Number of Years of Credited Service is four years less than the actual number of years of service for the NEOs listed in the table as increases in service ceased to be taken into account effective January 1, 2020. (2)The amounts reported in the Present Value of Accumulated Benefit column were computed using the same assumptions we used to account for pension liabilities in our financial statements and as described in Note 11 to our financial statements contained in our 2023 Annual Report. The amounts were calculated based on benefits commencing at age 60 (or current age if greater). We used these ages rather than the plan’s normal retirement age of 65 because an employee may commence receiving pension benefits at age 60 without any reduction for early commencement. Amounts paid under our plans use assumptions contained in the plans and may be different than those used for financial statement reporting purposes. If a NEO is eligible to elect a lump sum payment under the Supplemental Pension, the amount of the lump sum would be based on plan assumptions and not the assumptions used for financial statement reporting purposes. As a result, the actual lump sum payment would be an amount different than what is reported in this table. The age of the NEO at retirement would also impact the size of the lump sum payment.
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation In general, participants in our tax-qualified defined contribution plan may elect to defer up to 40% of base salary on a pre-tax, Roth, and/or after-tax basis. In addition, we make a matching contribution equal to 50% of up to the first 8% of base salary contributed by the participant plus a nonelective contribution equal to 6% of the participant’s base pay. Employee and Company matching contributions in excess of the Internal Revenue Code limitations may be contributed to a nonqualified defined contribution plan called the Lockheed Martin Corporation Supplemental Savings Plan (NQSSP) on a pre-tax basis at the election of the NEO. We also make Company nonelective contributions in excess of the Internal Revenue Code limitations to a nonqualified defined contribution excess plan called the Lockheed Martin Corporation Nonqualified Capital Accumulation Plan (NCAP) equal to 6% of the NEO’s base salary. Employee contributions and Company matching and nonelective contributions to the plans are nonforfeitable at all times. NQSSP and NCAP contributions are credited with earnings or losses based on the investment options in which the account has been invested, as elected by the participant. Each of the NQSSP and NCAP investment options is available under our tax-qualified defined contribution plan for salaried employees. The NQSSP and NCAP provide for payment following termination of employment in a lump sum or up to 25 annual installments at the participant’s election. All amounts accumulated and unpaid under the NQSSP and NCAP must be paid in a lump sum within 15 calendar days following a change in control. The Deferred Management Incentive Compensation Plan (DMICP) is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that provides the opportunity to defer, until termination of employment or beyond, the receipt of all or a portion of annual incentive payouts and LTIP awards. NEOs may elect any of the investment funds available in the NQSSP (with the exception of the Company Stock Fund) and two investment alternatives available only under the DMICP for crediting earnings (losses). Under the DMICP Company Stock Investment Option, earnings (losses) on deferred amounts will accrue at a rate that tracks the performance of our common stock, including reinvestment of dividends. Under the DMICP Interest Investment Option, earnings accrue at a rate equivalent to the then published rate for computing the present value of future benefits under Cost Accounting Standards 415, Deferred Compensation (CAS 415 rate). The Interest Investment Option was closed to new deferrals and transfers from other investment options effective July 1, 2009. Amounts credited to the Stock Investment Option may not be reallocated to other options and will be paid in shares of our common

stock upon distribution. The DMICP provides for payment in January or July following termination of employment in a lump sum or up to 25 annual installments at the NEO’s election. All amounts accumulated under the DMICP must be paid in a lump sum within 15 days following a change in control.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
(1)Divestiture is defined as a transaction which results in the transfer of control of a business operation to any person, corporation, association, partnership, joint venture, or other business entity of which less than 50 percent of the voting stock or other equity interests (in the case of entities other than corporations) is owned or controlled directly or indirectly by us, one or more of our subsidiaries, or by a combination thereof following the transaction. (2)See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” for discussion of annual incentive payment calculation. (3)See “Pension Benefits Table” for present value of accumulated benefit. Amounts paid under the Pension and Supplemental Pension use assumptions set forth in the plans and are different from the assumptions used to calculate the accrued benefit reported in the “Pension Benefits Table” or “Summary Compensation Table” or for financial reporting; therefore, actual payouts would be different from those disclosed in such tables. Payments under the Supplemental Pension would be payable to eligible NEOs in accordance with their individual elections and would not commence prior to age 55, except in the case of a change in control, in which case benefits would be paid in a lump sum payment shortly following the change in control regardless of age. All forms of payment, whether lump sum or annuities and regardless of the payment triggering event, would be calculated using the plan assumptions to be actuarially equivalent so that there is no incremental benefit associated with any of the events or payment forms. (4)See “Aggregate Balance at Last FYE” column in “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table” for amounts payable.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
The following table quantifies the payments under our executive compensation programs in RSU, LTIP and PSU awards and the Executive Severance Plan that would be made for each NEO assuming a termination event occurred on December 31, 2023. Payments under other plans do not change as a result of the termination event, and quantification of those payments is found elsewhere in this Proxy Statement; benefits under plans available generally to salaried employees also are not included. The table shows amounts that would actually be paid on or shortly after December 31, 2023 on account of the trigger event. Amounts that are contingent upon future performance, continued vesting or already earned as of December 31, 2023 are described and quantified in the footnotes following the table. Award agreements for the NEOs contain clawback provisions and post-employment restrictive covenants. To receive a supplemental severance benefit or favorable vesting of RSU, LTIP and PSU awards on layoff, an executive must execute a release of claims and, for the supplemental severance benefit, an agreement containing two-year post-employment non-compete and non-solicitation covenants.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control Table
(1)Termination/Resignation: Resignation by executives who are eligible for retirement, for purposes of this table, is treated as retirement. All NEOs who participate in the pension plans were eligible for retirement as of December 31, 2023. (2)Long-Term Incentive Performance Awards: The table shows an amount payable in the event of a change in control trigger event for the 2022-2024 and 2023-2025 LTIP performance periods. For a trigger event based upon death, disability, retirement (or resignation after satisfying the requirements for retirement), layoff or divestiture on December 31, 2023, amounts (if any) for the 2022-2024 and 2023-2025 LTIP performance periods would not be payable until after the end of the performance period. The estimated prorated amounts payable for the 2022-2024 performance cycle based on performance through December 31, 2023 are: Mr. Taiclet $3,876,000; Mr. Malave $2,067,200; Mr. St. John $1,550,400; Mr. Cahill $516,800 and Mr. Ulmer $1,033,600. The estimated prorated amounts payable for the 2023-2025 performance cycle based on performance through December 31, 2023 are: Mr. Taiclet $1,680,000; Mr. Malave $525,000; Mr. St. John $656,250; Mr. Cahill $441,000 and Mr. Ulmer $441,000.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control Table
(3)Restricted Stock Units: For a change in control (assuming satisfaction of the double trigger), death, disability or divestiture, the reported value of the RSUs was based upon the closing price of our stock on December 29, 2023 ($453.24) plus deferred dividend equivalents that accrued. RSUs would continue to vest for retirement or layoff (pro rata vesting for 2022 and 2023 RSUs in the event of layoff) occurring on December 31, 2023 and would not become payable until their applicable vesting date, and are not included in the table. If a NEO is retirement-eligible, then in the case of a divestiture occurring on December 31, 2023, the RSUs will continue to vest and are treated as a retirement. For retirement under the 2021, 2022 and 2023 RSUs and layoff under the 2021 RSUs, the RSUs to be received upon vesting would have the same value on December 31, 2023 as the amounts shown for immediate payment on account of death or disability. For 2022 and 2023 RSUs that pay out a prorated amount upon vesting in the event of a layoff, the value as of December 31, 2023 was (i) for the 2022 RSUs: Mr. Taiclet $3,399,989; Mr. Malave $1,813,232; Mr. St. John $1,359,805; Mr. Cahill $453,427 and Mr. Ulmer $906,855; and (ii) for the 2023 RSUs: Mr. Taiclet $1,324,965; Mr. Malave $414,197; Mr. St. John $517,979; Mr. Cahill $348,112 and Mr. Ulmer $348,112. (4)Performance Stock Units: The table shows an amount payable in the event of a change in control trigger event for the 2021-2023, 2022-2024 and 2023-2025 performance periods. The amount shown for the PSUs upon a change in control is the target level of the shares valued using the closing price of our stock on December 29, 2023 ($453.24) plus deferred dividend equivalents that accrued. The table assumes the double trigger occurred. For a trigger event based upon death, disability, retirement (or resignation after satisfying the requirements for retirement), layoff or divestiture on December 31, 2023, amounts (if any) for the 2021-2023, 2022-2024 and 2023-2025 PSU performance periods would be paid on a prorated basis following the end of the applicable performance period. The payments estimated to be paid on a non-prorated basis following the end of the performance cycle using the December 29, 2023 stock price are reported for the 2021-2023 PSU performance cycle in the Market Value of Shares or Units of Stock That Have Not Vested column of the “Outstanding Equity Awards at 2023 Fiscal Year-End Table” and for 2022-2024 and 2023-2025 in Equity Incentive Plan Awards: Market or Payout Value of Unearned Shares, Units or Other Rights That Have Not Vested column of that table. The estimated prorated amounts for a trigger event occurring on December 31, 2023 plus deferred dividend equivalents that accrued are for each cycle: (i) 2021-2023 cycle: Mr. Taiclet $8,338,755; Mr. St. John $3,276,723; Mr. Cahill $1,072,258 and Mr. Ulmer $2,383,338; (ii) 2022-2024 cycle: Mr. Taiclet $7,332,077; Mr. Malave $3,910,631; Mr. St. John $2,933,212; Mr. Cahill $978,373 and Mr. Ulmer $1,956,270; and (iii) 2023-2025 cycle: Mr. Taiclet $1,163,010; Mr. Malave $363,935; Mr. St. John $454,220; Mr. Cahill $305,762 and Mr. Ulmer $305,762. The prorated amounts are based on the stock price and estimated performance as of December 31, 2023. (5)Executive Severance: The total amounts projected for severance payments due to layoff are based on the Executive Severance Plan. It includes payment for one year of salary (2.99 years for Mr. Taiclet) and one year of target annual incentive (2.99 for Mr. Taiclet), estimated costs for benefits continuation for one year, outplacement services and relocation assistance (if required under the plan terms).
CEO Pay Ratio
CEO Pay Ratio As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, the Company must annually disclose in its proxy statement the median of the annual total compensation of all of its employees (excluding the CEO), the annual total compensation of its CEO, and the ratio of the CEO compensation to the employee median compensation. The ratio of CEO pay to the pay of the Company’s median employee for fiscal year 2023 is 187 to one. Lockheed Martin employs approximately 122,000 employees that are, in large part, highly skilled professionals located primarily in the United States, but also in numerous other countries. For purposes of the fiscal year 2023 CEO pay ratio set forth above, we used the same median employee identified with respect to our fiscal year 2022 CEO pay ratio, because there has not been a change in our employee population or employee compensation arrangements that we believe would significantly change the pay ratio disclosure. The median employee was determined by calculating the total annual cash compensation (base salary plus annual incentive) of all employees except the CEO as of December 31, 2022, and then sorting those employees from highest to lowest; and determining the median employee from that list. The total annual compensation for our CEO for fiscal year 2023 was $22,813,775 as set forth in the Total column in the “Summary Compensation Table”. The total annual compensation for the median employee for fiscal year 2023 was $121,901 encompassing base salary, incentives/recognition awards and Company contributions to defined contribution plans. The annual total compensation of the median employee was determined in the same manner as the total compensation shown for our CEO. Like Mr. Taiclet, the median employee does not participate in our pension plan.

Pay Versus Performance The disclosure included in this section is prescribed by SEC rules and does not necessarily align with how the Company or the Compensation Committee views the link between the Company’s performance and its NEOs’ pay. For a discussion of how the Company views its executive compensation structure, including alignment with Company performance, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis (CD&A)” beginning on page 44 The use of the term “compensation actually paid” (CAP) is required by the SEC’s rules. Neither CAP nor the total amount reported in the Summary Compensation Table reflect the amount of compensation actually paid, earned or received during the applicable year. Per SEC rules, CAP was calculated by adjusting the Summary Compensation Table Total values for the applicable year as described in the footnotes to the following table.

Hill and Ms. Hewson; and for 2020: Mr. Possenriede, Mr. St. John, Mr. Ambrose and Ms. Michele A. Evans. (2)CAP reflects the total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year adjusted to include or exclude the amounts shown in the tables below for the NEOs. Amounts in the Exclusion of Change in Pension Value column reflect the amounts attributable to the Change in Pension Value reported in the Summary Compensation Table. Amounts in the Exclusion of Stock Awards column are the totals from the Stock Awards column set forth in the Summary Compensation Table. The Inclusion of Pension Service Cost column would report amounts based on the pension service cost for services rendered during the listed year and any prior service cost or credit attributable to a plan amendment for services rendered prior to the amendment. There are no amounts listed in this column because the Company’s pension plan was frozen effective January 1, 2020 and there have not been any plan amendments triggering additional costs or credits in the years covered. Equity values are calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718.

Pay Versus Performance
(3)Reflects S&P Aerospace & Defense Index. (4)“Net income” is equivalent to “Net earnings” as reported in the Company’s financial statements. (5)SEC rules require us to designate a “company-selected measure” that in our assessment represents the most important financial performance measure (that is not total shareholder return or net income) used by the Company to link the CAP of our NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to our performance. We selected Free Cash Flow as this measure for 2022 and 2023 as reflected in column (i) in the first table above. Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as cash from operations less capital expenditures. See Appendix A for more information on Free Cash Flow and how it is calculated. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for years 2021 and 2020 and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years.
