Item 8.01.

Other Events

On August 22, 2011, John T. Kuelbs, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (the “Company”), established a stock trading plan in accordance with the guidelines of Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and the Company’s policy regarding stock transactions by Company insiders. The transactions under this plan will be disclosed publicly through Form 144 and Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Under Mr. Kuelbs’ 10b5-1 plan, Mr. Kuelbs may exercise options and sell the underlying shares of the Company’s common stock at prevailing market prices (but in general not below predetermined target prices). The total number of shares subject to Mr. Kuelbs’ plan is 117,500. These exercises and sales are expected to take place periodically through February 2012.

This trading plan is not meant to reflect a lack of confidence in the Company or its future by Mr. Kuelbs, but is designed for retirement and estate planning purposes; thus permitting him to monetize a portion of his equity position in a systematic, nondiscretionary manner with the goal of minimal market impact and compliance with regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
