Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:TDY) announced today that it
has completed an $80 million voluntary cash contribution to the Teledyne
Technologies defined benefit pension plan. The pension contribution was
funded with cash on hand and borrowings under the company’s credit
facility. This contribution will result in an after-tax cash outlay of
approximately $52 million for the company during 2009 due to the tax
deductibility of this contribution. Teledyne made this voluntary
contribution in order to increase the funding of the company’s defined
benefit pension plan.

subsystems, instrumentation and communication products, engineered
systems, aerospace engines, and energy and power generation systems.
Teledyne Technologies’ operations are primarily located in the United
