Norman R. Augustine
Chairman of the Board
& Chief Executive Officer
Dear Fellow Stockholders:
I look forward to seeing you at Lockheed Martin's Annual Meeting of
Stockholders. At the meeting, we plan to report to you on our 1996 activities,
which resulted in a watershed year for our Corporation. Demonstrating the
benefits of the leadership position we have built in industry consolidation, we
won an exceptional amount of new business, improved profit margins, generated
almost $1 billion in free cash, and achieved a nearly flawless record of mission
success for our customers. These and other accomplishments have enabled Lockheed
Martin to create new opportunities and added value for you, our stockholders.
We were also pleased this past year to have been able to conclude our
transaction with Loral Corporation, and the transition of the former Loral
businesses into Lockheed Martin has now largely been accomplished. Much of the
credit for the latter goes to Mr. Bernard L. Schwartz, former Loral Chairman,
and Mr. Frank C. Lanza, former Loral President, both of whom have served on our
Board during the transition. Mr. Schwartz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
of Loral Space & Communications Ltd., has indicated that, given the success of
the transition, he would now prefer to be free of any constraints imposed by
serving on both company's Boards and to be able to pursue business opportunities
of mutual interest; therefore, he has chosen not to stand for reelection to our
Board of Directors. Lockheed Martin owns approximately 17 percent of Loral Space
and Communications Ltd.
As has previously been announced, Mr. Lanza will become Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of a new corporation in which Lockheed Martin anticipates
having a 35 percent ownership share. Given his new role as Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of the new corporation, Mr. Lanza will also not stand for
reelection to the Lockheed Martin Board.
We have been fortunate indeed to have had these executives on the Lockheed
Martin Board during this period of transition and look forward to continuing to
work with them on future business endeavors which will benefit each of these
organizations.
I hope you can attend our annual meeting in person, but, whether or not you
plan to attend, please make sure that your shares are represented by completing
and returning your proxy card or, if you are a stockholder of record, by placing
your vote by telephone.
Sincerely,
/s/ NORMAN R. AUGUSTINE

PROXY STATEMENT
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Annual Meeting of Stockholders ("Annual Meeting") of Lockheed Martin
Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the "Corporation"), will be held at 10:30
a.m. on Thursday, April 24, 1997, at the Brown Palace Hotel, Denver, Colorado,
for the purposes set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and
Proxy Statement. This statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation
by the Board of Directors of proxies to be used at such meeting and at any and
all adjournments of such meeting.
Stockholders of record may vote their proxy using the toll-free number
listed on the proxy card or they may sign, date and mail their proxies in the
postage paid envelope provided. Participants in the Corporation's employee
benefit plans may not use the telephone procedure to direct the voting of shares
attributable to their accounts and must return the enclosed instruction card.
The telephone voting procedure is designed to authenticate votes cast by
use of a Personal Identification Number. The procedure allows stockholders to
appoint a proxy to vote their shares and to confirm that their instructions have
been properly recorded. The Corporation has been advised by counsel that the
procedures which have been put in place are consistent with the requirements of
applicable law. Specific instructions to be followed by any stockholder of
record interested in voting by telephone are set forth on the enclosed proxy
card.
Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked at any time
before the proxy is voted by filing with the Secretary of the Corporation prior
to the meeting at the Corporation's principal office, or at the Annual Meeting,
an instrument revoking the proxy or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date.
You may also revoke your proxy by voting in person at the Annual Meeting.
Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself constitute a
revocation of a proxy.
Voting your proxy by telephone or by mail will in no way limit your right
to vote at the Annual Meeting if you later decide to attend in person. If your
shares are held in the name of a broker, bank or other holder of record, you
must obtain a proxy, executed on your behalf, from the holder of record to be
able to vote at the Meeting.
The principal office of the Corporation is at 6801 Rockledge Drive,
Bethesda, Maryland 20817. This Proxy Statement, the Proxy Card, and the Notice
of Annual Meeting will be sent to stockholders commencing on or about March 21,
1997.
VOTING SECURITIES AND RECORD DATE
Stockholders of record at the close of business on March 10, 1997 are
entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. On January 31, 1997,
there were 192,888,667 shares outstanding of the Corporation's Common Stock
("Common Stock" or "Stock"), $1.00 par value per share . Each share is entitled
to one vote. Participants in the Corporation's Dividend Reinvestment and Stock
Purchase Plan ("Dividend Reinvestment Plan") and certain of the Corporation's
employee benefit plans are entitled to one vote for each share held for the
participant's account under those plans. Shares held in accounts under the
Dividend Reinvestment Plan are included in the proxy sent to the account owner.
Shares of Common Stock represented by a properly executed proxy, (either
signed and returned or voted through the toll-free telephone procedure described
above) will be considered as represented at the Annual Meeting for purposes of
determining a quorum. Votes at the Annual Meeting will be tabulated by two
independent judges of election from First Chicago Trust Company of New York, the
Corporation's transfer agent.
The affirmative vote of a majority of shares outstanding and entitled to
vote is required for election of directors and adoption of the proposals set
forth below. Abstentions will not be counted "for" or "against" proposals, but
will be counted for the purpose of determining the existence of a quorum.
Because the Corporation's By-Laws require the affirmative vote of a majority of
the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting to authorize action on any matter,
abstentions have the effect of a vote against the proposal. Brokers holding
shares for beneficial owners must vote those shares according to the specific
instructions they receive from the owners. If specific instructions are not
received, brokers
1
<PAGE> 7
may generally vote these shares in their discretion. However, the New York Stock
Exchange Rules preclude brokers from exercising their voting discretion on
certain proposals. In such cases, absent specific instructions from the
beneficial owner, the broker may not vote on those proposals. This results in
what is known as a "broker non-vote." A "broker non-vote" has the effect of a
negative vote when a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote is
required for approval of the proposal. Votes "withheld" from director-nominees
have the effect of a negative vote since a majority of the shares outstanding
and entitled to vote is required for election of directors.
Each participant in certain Lockheed Martin savings and 401(k) plans will
receive an instruction card on which the participant may instruct the trustee as
to the voting of shares allocated to the participant's account. Any allocated
shares for which instructions are not received will be voted by the applicable
plan trustee in accordance with the terms of the respective plan document. In
addition, participants in the Lockheed Martin Salaried Savings Plan will receive
a separate voting instruction card on which the participant may separately
instruct the trustee as to the voting of a portion of unallocated shares held by
the plan's trust. Unallocated shares for which no instructions are received are
to be voted by the trustee in the same proportion as unallocated shares for
which instructions are received.
General Electric Company ("GE") is the owner of 20,000,000 shares of the
Corporation's Series A Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value per share, constituting
all of the issued and outstanding shares of such class. The Series A Preferred
Stock is convertible into Common Stock, has a liquidation preference of $50 per
share plus accrued and unpaid dividends, and is non-voting except in certain
circumstances. The Series A Preferred Stock has a conversion price of $34.5525
per share (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances) and is convertible
into 28,941,460 shares (subject to adjustment) or approximately 13 percent of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock after giving effect to such conversion
(based upon the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on January 31,
1997). In the absence of a dividend declaration, dividends of $0.75 per share
per quarter accrue automatically on the Series A Preferred Stock. Further, any
dividends not paid during any given dividend period or series of dividend
periods accumulate and must be paid to the holder of the Series A Preferred
Stock before the holders of Common Stock may receive any dividend. Mr. Edward E.
Hood, Jr., retired Vice Chairman and a former director of GE, and Mr. Eugene F.
Murphy, President and Chief Executive Officer of GE Aircraft Engines, each of
whom are members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, disclaim
beneficial ownership of these shares. GE's principal address is 3135 Easton
Turnpike, Fairfield, Connecticut 06341.
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The charter of the Corporation ("Charter") provides that the directors of
the Corporation shall be elected to an annual term. The Board of Directors of
the Corporation, pursuant to the Corporation's By-Laws, has determined that the

Meeting of Stockholders of the Corporation in 1998 and until their successors
have been duly elected and qualify. Each nominee is currently serving as a
director. In the event any of these nominees becomes unavailable for election to

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors held ten meetings during 1996, of which eight were
regularly scheduled meetings. Non-employee directors of the Corporation receive
$35,000 annually for service on the
5
<PAGE> 11
Board of which $25,000 is paid in cash and $10,000 is paid in the form of the
award of units equivalent to shares of Common Stock under the Directors Deferred
Stock Plan, based on the value of the Corporation's Common Stock on June 1 of
the year for which the award is made. Non-employee directors receive $1,500 for
each meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof attended. During
1996, the non-employee Chairman of the Board received an additional fee of
$40,000 per month. The Corporation's directors discharge their responsibilities
throughout the year not only at such Board of Directors and committee meetings,
but also through personal meetings and other communications, including
considerable telephone contact, with the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
the President and Chief Operating Officer and others regarding matters of
interest and concern to the Corporation. Directors are also reimbursed for
expenses in connection with attendance at Board and committee meetings.
Non-employee directors may defer up to 100 percent of the cash portion of
the fees (including committee fees) otherwise payable to the director. Subject
to certain limitations, a participating director's deferred fees will be
distributed (or distribution will commence) in January following the year in
which he or she ceases to be a director. Fees earned in 1996 could be deferred
until 1998 regardless of the director's continuing service on the Board of
Directors. Deferral elections are irrevocable during any calendar year and must
be made before the beginning of the calendar year in which fees are earned.
Earnings are accrued on deferred amounts. Depending on a director's investment
election, deferred amounts earn interest or a return that tracks the performance
of the published index for the Standard & Poor's 500 (with dividends
reinvested). It is anticipated that, effective May 1, 1997, a director may elect
to earn a rate of return that tracks the performance of the Corporation's Common
Stock. In addition, pursuant to the Directors Deferred Stock Plan, which was
approved by the Corporation's stockholders on March 15, 1995, $10,000 of the
annual retainer is deferred in the form of units equivalent to shares of Common
Stock on June 1 of each year. Upon retirement, termination of service, death or
disability, the plan provides that a director's account be distributed in whole
shares or, it is anticipated effective May 1, 1997, in cash; fractional shares
are payable in cash. At the election of the directors, such distributions may be
made in a lump sum or in installments.
The Board of Directors currently has five standing committees: Audit and
Ethics, Compensation, Nominating, Executive and Finance. In addition, there is
one standing subcommittee, the Stock Option Subcommittee. Non-employee directors
receive $5,000 annually for each committee on which they serve (there are no
additional fees for service on the Stock Option Subcommittee). In addition, a
non-employee director who serves as Chairman of a Committee receives $4,000
annually, except for the Nominating Committee Chairman who receives $2,000.
All non-employee directors are provided a $100,000 death benefit, which
remains available following retirement, except that the benefit is reduced by
the amount of life insurance coverage previously provided to a director of
Lockheed or Martin Marietta. The benefit will be increased to include the
applicable estimated annual amount of taxes associated with the benefit. In
addition, each non-employee director is provided travel accident insurance up to
$1,000,000 in the event that the director is involved in an accident while
traveling on business related to the Corporation.
A financial counseling program which provides reimbursement for tax and
financial planning and tax preparation services is available to directors and
officers. The Corporation pays a maximum of $6,000 per director and $10,000 per
officer.
The Directors Charitable Award Plan provides that upon the death of a
director, Lockheed Martin will make donations to tax-exempt organizations
previously recommended by the director up to an aggregate of $1 million.
Directors are vested under this plan if (a) they have served for at least five
years on the Lockheed Martin Board of Directors, including service on the former
Lockheed or Martin Marietta Boards of Directors, or (b) their service on the
Lockheed Martin Board of Directors is terminated due to death, disability or
retirement. Under the terms of the plan, if there is a change in control of the
Corporation, all participating directors in the plan shall immediately become
vested. Those directors who previously served on Martin Marietta's Board of
Directors are all vested in the plan as a result of the combination of the
businesses of Lockheed and Martin Marietta (the "Combination").

<PAGE> 12
Non-employee directors who leave the Board after serving five or more
years on the Board of Directors are entitled to receive an annual retirement
benefit equal to the amount of the annual retainer fee, including the portion
contributed to the Directors Deferred Stock Plan, in effect on the date of the
director's retirement. These amounts will be paid annually to the retired
director for a period equal to the number of years that the director served on
the Board of Directors. If a director who has completed at least five years of
service on the Board of Directors (or with the approval of the Nominating
Committee, less than five years) retires at the mandatory retirement age under
the Corporation's By-Laws, the payment will be made on an annual basis for the
director's life. Upon the death of an active director (whether or not he or she
served as a director for at least five years) or a retired director receiving
benefits, annual payments will be paid to the director's beneficiary for a
maximum period of twenty years. In determining eligibility for benefits and the
number of years for which a benefit is payable, service on the Board of
Directors includes service as an employee director as well as service on the
Lockheed and Martin Marietta Boards of Directors prior to the Combination.
However, the amount of any benefit payable under the Lockheed Martin Directors
Retirement Plan will be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of
any benefit paid or payable under those companies' retirement plans for
directors.
During 1996, Mr. Marafino performed consulting services to the
Corporation with respect to providing representation in connection with the sale
or merger of certain properties, serving on the boards of directors of various
joint venture companies and/or subsidiaries of the Corporation, providing

to senior management of the Corporation. The agreement, which included an annual
retainer of $250,000, did not cover his services as a director of the
Corporation.

owned by Lehman Brothers Capital Partners III, L.P. or its affiliates, 34.9
percent by the Corporation and 15 percent by a management team led by Frank C.
Lanza who, in addition to his service as a director of the Corporation, serves
as one of its executive vice presidents. The Transaction Agreement is being
negotiated by the parties on an arm's length basis. It is contemplated that
Newco will pay the Corporation a total purchase price for the businesses
(subject to adjustment in certain circumstances as provided in the Transaction
Agreement) of $525 million, consisting of 6,980,000 shares of Newco Class A
Common Stock and $479.835 million in cash. Mr. Lanza will be issued 1,500,000
shares of Class B Common Stock, or 7.5 percent of the equity securities of
Newco, in return for cash consideration of $7.5 million. A second individual
constituting a member of the proposed management team will also be issued
1,500,000 shares of Newco Class B Common Stock in return for cash consideration
of $7.5 million. The transaction proposed is subject to a number of conditions
including execution of a definitive agreement and regulatory approvals.

(3) Includes 16,500 shares not currently owned but which could be acquired
within 60 days following January 31, 1997 by Mr. Bennett through the
exercise of stock options.
(4) Shared voting and investment power.

Compensation Plan, pursuant to which $5,000 was paid annually on behalf of
each non-employee director to a trust maintained for the purpose of
purchasing Lockheed common stock on the open market for the benefit of such
non-employee directors. Prior to 1993, directors could also direct a portion
of the annual cash payment and meeting fees to the trust for the purchase of
common stock. All shares in the trust were exchanged for Common Stock of the
Corporation after the Combination. Other cash amounts voluntarily deferred
by directors are credited with interest at the current rate of interest
specified and published by the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to Public
Law 92-41, 85 Stat. 97. Deferred amounts are distributable after a
participant ceases to be a director. In the event a participant's status as
a director is involuntarily terminated other than by death, all deferred
cash remuneration (plus interest) and all Common Stock in the director's
trust account will be distributed within fifteen days of termination. As of
December 31, 1996, Mrs. Cheney and Messrs. Flournoy, Gibbons, Savage, Trost,
Ukropina, and Yearley have been credited with 246; 247; 2,329; 1,251; 1,219;

Salaried Savings Plan. Executive officers do not have investment power over
shares credited to their accounts as part of the Corporation's matching
contributions but do have investment power of shares purchased with their
own contributions.
(8) In April 1996, the Corporation's stockholders approved the Lockheed Martin
Corporation Deferred Management Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Plan")
which provides certain key management employees of the Corporation and its
subsidiaries the opportunity to elect annually to defer receipt until
termination of service or beyond of all or a portion of incentive
compensation awards under the Lockheed Martin Management Incentive
Compensation Plan. The Plan provides that a participant may choose annually
between two accounts (the "Interest Investment Option" or the "Stock
Investment Option") pursuant to which earnings on deferred amounts will
accrue. Under the Stock Investment Option earnings on deferred amounts will
accrue at a rate that tracks the performance of the Corporation's Common
Stock (including reinvestment of dividends). Where appropriate, the shares
shown include an approximation of the number of stock units in the
participant's account as of January 23, 1997, the latest date for which
such information is available.

</TABLE>
(1) The Corporation paid no compensation in 1994 to any of the named executive
officers or in 1995 to Mr. Lanza. Amounts included in the table for 1994
with respect to Messrs. Augustine, Bennett and Teets were paid by Martin
Marietta and are discussed in more detail in the Martin Marietta Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994. Amounts
included in the table for 1994 with respect to Dr. Coffman were paid by
Lockheed and are discussed in more detail in the Lockheed Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 1994.
(2) Mr. Lanza became employed by the Corporation in April 1996 when the
Corporation acquired Loral. Of the $716,950 earned by Mr. Lanza in 1996,
$541,546 was earned by him with respect to his service to the Corporation in
1996. The remaining $175,404 was earned by him in 1996 with respect to his
service in 1996 to Loral.
(3) The bonus shown has two components. The first is a bonus of $427,700 earned
by Mr. Lanza in 1996 by virtue of his service to the Corporation which began
in April of 1996. The second component, representing the balance of the
bonus or $801,973, is a pro rata portion (first quarter 1996) of a
$3,207,893 bonus earned by Mr. Lanza with respect to his service to Loral
during its 1996 fiscal year which ran from April 1, 1995 to March 31, 1996.
The remaining $2,405,920 of the $3,207,893 is included within the column
"All Other Compensation" for 1996. The prorationing was done so as to relate
the figure shown in the bonus column for Mr. Lanza in 1996 to the
Corporation's fiscal year.
(4) Amounts reported under the column generally represent amounts reimbursed for
the payment of taxes and financial counseling fees. Some executives of the
Corporation received certain perquisites from the Corporation. The cost of
the perquisites furnished to each executive officer with the exceptions of
Dr. Coffman and Mr. Bennett did not exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 10
percent of the total annual salary and bonus of that executive officer as
reported in the table above. The amount included for Dr. Coffman includes
payments of $74,336 for relocation expenses, consistent with the
Corporation's policies and procedures. On occasion, the Corporation
determines that it is in its best interest to pay membership fees, dues and
other expenses related to employee participation in professional and social
organizations. Determinations are made on a case-by-case basis rather than
pursuant to a formal program or plan. The amount reported for Mr. Bennett
includes a one-time membership fee of $37,575.
(5) Amount reported represents payouts of awards earned under the Long Term
Performance Plan of Lockheed and its Subsidiaries. Upon consummation of the
combination of Lockheed and Martin Marietta, this plan was terminated as an
active plan and no further awards will be made.
(6) Amounts include the Corporation's contribution under the Lockheed Martin
Salaried Savings Plan or the Lockheed Martin Salaried Savings Plan II for
Messrs. Augustine, Coffman, Bennett, and Teets of $5,249; $5,700; $5,250;
and $5,250, respectively, and the Corporation's contribution under the
Lockheed Martin Supplemental Savings Plan for Dr. Coffman of $27,706. The
amount reported for Mr. Lanza includes $4,952 representing the value to Mr.
Lanza of $951,546 related to a split dollar life insurance arrangement. If
the arrangement is terminated or Mr. Lanza terminates from the Corporation
for any reason other than retirement, death or disability, upon repayment of
the Corporation's priority interest in the life insurance arrangement
(defined as total required premiums plus $38,837), Mr. Lanza may retain any
excess cash value. The amount reported for Mr. Lanza also includes
$2,405,920 in bonus compensation (of a total of $3,207,893 paid, see Note 3
above) paid by the Corporation in 1996 with respect to Mr. Lanza's service
to Loral for Loral's fiscal year ending March 31, 1996; a $5,733,327
transaction bonus paid at the close of the Loral acquisition; and,
$40,778,750 representing the then current value of outstanding stock options
awarded by Loral and paid pursuant to change of control provisions in
Loral's stock option plans.

(1) No SARs were granted in 1996.
(2) Awards are granted at the discretion of the Stock Option Subcommittee, a
disinterested subcommittee of the Board of Directors made up of non-employee
directors, upon the recommendation of management. The Omnibus Plan requires
that awards be evidenced by an award agreement setting forth the number and
type of stock-based awards and the terms and conditions applicable to the
award as determined by the Stock Option Subcommittee. In 1996, the only type
of instrument awarded under the Omnibus Plan was stock options. Under the
1996 award agreements, options vest and become exercisable in two equal
installments on the first and second anniversary dates following the grant.
Options awarded in 1996 expire 186 days following termination of employment,
except in instances following death, disability, divestiture, layoff or
retirement. In the event of death, all outstanding options vest immediately
and will expire three years following the date of death, but in no event
more than ten years after the date of grant. In instances of disability, all
outstanding options vest immediately and expire on the normal expiration
date, ten years following the date of grant. In cases of layoff the award
agreement states that the terms of all outstanding options will be
unaffected. In cases of divestiture, outstanding options which are vested as
of the effective date of the divestiture will terminate one year from the
effective date or the option's normal expiration date, whichever occurs
first; options which are not vested as of the effective date of the
divestiture will be treated in accordance with the provisions of the award
pertaining to termination of employment. In cases of retirement on or after
the first vesting date, the award agreement states that the terms of all
outstanding options will be unaffected by such retirement. Generally
retirement before the first vesting date is treated as a termination. In the
event of a change in control, the options would vest to the extent not
already vested.

BOARD COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Overview
GOAL. The Corporation's goal is to be recognized as the world's premier
systems engineering and technology enterprise, meeting the needs of its
customers with high-quality products and services. In so doing, the Corporation
believes that it can produce superior returns for its stockholders. To achieve
this goal, the Corporation must attract and retain the services of dedicated and
talented individuals. This requires a compensation program that is competitive
with that of other companies, provides incentives to meet and exceed the
Corporation's objectives and makes prudent use of the Corporation's resources.
COMPOSITION OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. The Board of Directors relies
upon an independent Compensation Committee consisting entirely of Board members
who are neither officers nor employees of the Corporation to oversee the
Corporation's compensation program. Among the duties of the Committee is that of
reviewing the Corporation's compensation policies and programs and recommending
the form and amount of compensation to be paid to the Corporation's executive
officers. The Board ratified the recommendations of the Compensation Committee
in 1996.
ROLE OF THE STOCK OPTION SUBCOMMITTEE. As discussed under the caption
"Executive Compensation -- Tax Deductibility," a goal of the Corporation is to
minimize the amount of compensation paid by the Corporation that may not be
deducted for federal income tax purposes. To allow employee stock options to fit
within certain exceptions to limitations on the deductibility of compensation,
options are awarded by the Stock Option Subcommittee, organized in compliance
with these exceptions. This report is submitted by both the Compensation
Committee and the Stock Option Subcommittee and references to the term
"Committee" include both.
PHILOSOPHY. The overall philosophy of the executive compensation program
is that each executive officer should receive compensation in a range
competitive with that offered executives with similar responsibilities at other
companies of comparable size, complexity and quality. Only in this way can the
Corporation effectively compete with such companies for the services of these
individuals. An executive's compensation package is structured, however, so that
the total compensation received by the executive is dependent on the performance
of that executive and the performance of the Corporation. The Committee believes
that this structure aligns the interests of the Corporation's executives with
those of its stockholders and provides executives additional incentives to
achieve and sustain superior performance. Further, in setting an executive's
total compensation, the Committee
14
<PAGE> 20
must balance the need to offer an attractive compensation package with its
obligation to make prudent use of the Corporation's resources.
COMPENSATION STRUCTURE. The Corporation's executive compensation
structure includes three elements. These are base salary and bonus, which
constitute an executive's annual compensation, and stock options which
constitute long-term compensation. As more fully described below, two of the
three elements (bonus and stock options) are at risk as their value is entirely
dependent upon performance.
METHODS. In determining levels of compensation, the Committee relies
upon survey data gathered by nationally recognized consulting firms specializing
in executive compensation as well as upon other nationally recognized survey
sources. Information is gathered both as to companies included within the Peer
Issuers Index (included on page 25 of this Proxy) and as to a broader group of
29 publicly held industrial companies of a size, complexity and quality similar
to that of the Corporation. None of the companies included in the larger survey
is included within the Peer Issuers Index. The process of determining executive
compensation is subjective and is entirely within the discretion of the
Committee.
Compensation In 1996
ANNUAL COMPENSATION -- BASE SALARY. In accordance with the Committee's
philosophy, the Committee seeks to set base salary levels at the 50th percentile
of the surveyed companies with flexibility to pay within a range around the 50th
percentile consistent with that executive's responsibilities, level of
experience, performance in past years and competence. Throughout this report,
comparisons to the 50th percentile refer to a figure that has been weighted to
reflect the size of the companies as measured by a regression analysis of sales
and refers to the larger, general industry survey.
Mr. Augustine was elected Chief Executive Officer of Lockheed Martin
effective January 1, 1996. He received two base salary increases during 1996, a
10 percent increase at the time he was elected CEO and a second base salary
increase of 13.6 percent at the normal merit review for a compounded increase in
base salary of 25 percent during 1996. His resulting base salary represents the
50th percentile when compared to other CEO's from the general industry survey.
The Committee's action increasing Mr. Augustine's base salary reflects the
continued leadership exhibited by Mr. Augustine in successfully guiding the
Corporation in this turbulent period for the defense industry. Mr. Augustine's
performance and that of the Corporation are discussed further under the caption
"Relationship of Awards to Corporate Performance". With respect to each named
executive, except Mr. Lanza, a portion of that executive's increase in base
salary is also attributable to the continued orderly transition between that
executive's previous salary level at the Corporation's predecessors, Lockheed or
Martin Marietta, and the level to be paid by the Corporation.
Mr. Lanza held the position of President and Chief Operating Officer of
Loral which during 1996 was acquired by Lockheed Martin. Mr. Lanza was elected
Executive Vice President of Lockheed Martin and awarded a 7.8 percent increase
in base salary at the time of the acquisition. Mr. Lanza's 1996 compensation is
reflective of his prior role as Loral's President and Chief Operating Officer
and his responsibilities for the transition of the Loral companies to Lockheed
Martin. In 1996, the base salary levels for the named executives, excluding Mr.
Augustine and Mr. Lanza, were approximately 8 percent above the 50th percentile.
ANNUAL COMPENSATION -- BONUS. The Corporation maintains a bonus plan
known as the Lockheed Martin Management Incentive Compensation Plan ("MICP").
The primary purpose of the MICP is to provide executives an opportunity to earn
additional compensation based on performance. The MICP provides an opportunity
for annual cash bonuses based upon an evaluation of the performance of the
Corporation or a specified operating subsidiary or group against certain pre-
established goals. This requires an appraisal of each executive's contribution
to this performance. These reviews are subjective and within the discretion of
the Committee. All of the executive officers of the Corporation participate in
the plan. Each participant in the MICP is assigned a targeted percentage of base
salary. That amount is then adjusted by consideration of individual and business
unit performance or overall corporate performance in the case of corporate
staff. Adjustments for performance are based upon consideration of the
achievement of targeted goals which include standard
15
<PAGE> 21
measures of financial performance such as orders, sales, earnings, earnings per
share, return on equity, cash generation, backlog as well as technical
achievement, product performance and quality, customer satisfaction and
adherence to ethical standards. These goals are established at the beginning of
each plan year and are based in part upon the Corporation's Long Range Plan.
Adjustments for the individual performance of the Chief Executive Officer
are determined by the Committee. Adjustments for business unit and corporate
performance are determined by the Corporation's executive office, subject to the
review and approval of the Committee. Under the MICP, if the maximum adjustments
for individual and business unit performance were made, the maximum amount that
the Chief Executive Officer could receive would be approximately 136 percent of
base salary. The exact amount of MICP awards may be further affected by the
amount of funds allocated for awards. If the amount allocated by the Board of
Directors is less than the aggregate of all proposed payments, payments will be
reduced on a pro rata basis.
The Committee retains complete discretion in performing these reviews and
in determining the amount of actual awards, if any. Consequently, no particular
analytical weighting of criteria is required or performed. Following review of
the achievements of the Corporation and its operating units as compared to
target goals established at the beginning of the plan year, a comparative review
of the individual contributions of each participant towards achieving these
goals is conducted. The Committee also considers qualitative measures of
performance such as adherence to and implementation of the Corporation's policy
on ethics and standards of conduct, customer satisfaction and product quality.
In performing these evaluations, except as to any award to be made to the Chief
Executive Officer, the Committee also considers the recommendations of the Chief
Executive Officer.
For purposes of determining awards under the MICP for Mr. Augustine and
the other four named executive officers, the Committee measured the
Corporation's and operating subsidiaries' performance against the various
financial, business development and operations goals discussed above. In
addition, the Committee considered other significant accomplishments such as the
completion of the acquisition of Loral and the continued successful execution of
the Corporation's consolidation plans including the integration of the Loral
businesses with those of the Corporation. Awards were made in January 1997 with
respect to the year ended December 31, 1996. Mr. Augustine's annual bonus of
$1,600,000 represented approximately 128 percent of his base salary or
approximately 56 percent of his total cash compensation. The reference to total
compensation here and elsewhere in this report refer to annual base salary, as
of year end 1996, and the bonus paid for 1996 performance. Compared to the
survey group, Mr. Augustine's bonus was approximately 6 percent above the 50th
percentile, while his total cash compensation was approximately 3 percent above
the 50th percentile. With respect to the remaining four named executive officers
as a group, on average, annual bonuses represented approximately 93 percent of
base salary or 48 percent of total cash compensation and were approximately 30
percent above the average annual bonus of the comparison group. This comparison
reflects annualized award values and considers only bonus awards paid under
Lockheed Martin's Management Incentive Compensation Plan. These levels are
consistent with the Committee's philosophy on executive compensation and reflect
the superior performance of the Corporation.
LONG-TERM COMPENSATION -- OMNIBUS PERFORMANCE AWARD PLAN. The Lockheed
Martin Corporation Omnibus Performance Award Plan ("Omnibus Plan") was approved
in 1995 by the stockholders of each of Lockheed and Martin Marietta, the
companies that combined to form the Corporation. The Omnibus Plan provides for
the granting of performance-related awards in various forms including stock
options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and other share-based
awards or cash-based incentive awards such as performance units. Since its
adoption, the only type of award made under the Omnibus Plan has been stock
options. Stock options awarded under the Omnibus Plan directly link the
compensation provided to executive officers and a group of approximately 1,630
key personnel with gains realized by the stockholders. The purpose of the option
program is to provide additional incentives to employees to strive to maximize
stockholder value. The vesting periods associated with stock options encourage
continued employment with the Corporation while also serving to confer upon
recipients an ownership interest in the Corporation. The Committee believes that
stock ownership by executives is extremely important and discusses the
Corporation's stock ownership guidelines under the caption "Stock Ownership
Guidelines". All options awarded have an exercise price equal to the closing
market price of the Corporation's Common Stock on the date of grant, and,
16
<PAGE> 22
therefore, have no value to the recipient unless the price of the Corporation's
Common Stock increases.
The number of options granted to an individual is based upon survey data
relating to the same corporations surveyed in conjunction with setting base
salaries and bonuses. Since long-term awards vest over time, the Corporation
grants new awards to provide continuing incentives for future performance
without regard to the number of options currently held by the recipient. As
previously noted, grants of options under the Omnibus Plan are made by the Stock
Option Subcommittee. The determination of the number of options awarded is
within the complete discretion of the Subcommittee. In exercising its
discretion, the Subcommittee generally follows the same procedures as are
followed in determining the amount of incentive compensation awards.
Consistent with the Corporation's compensation philosophy, the Subcommittee
strives to provide option awards, as a multiple of base salary, near the average
of awards made by firms in the Corporation's 29-firm comparison group. Mr.
Augustine received a grant of 120,000 options, the value of which was
approximately 32 percent below the 50th percentile. The remaining named
executives received on average awards that were approximately 21 percent below
the 50th percentile level of awards granted by the companies comprising the
comparison group.
SUMMARY. Mr. Augustine's total compensation for 1996, consisting of base
salary, cash bonus and long term compensation was approximately 17 percent below
the 50th percentile. The total compensation of the remaining named executives
for 1996 fell approximately 1 percent above the 50th percentile.
Relationship Of Awards To Corporate Performance
The Corporation had an outstanding year in 1996 and compensation awarded to
the Corporation's executive officers (including the named executives and the
Chief Executive Officer) reflects this. As can be seen from the Peer Issuers
Index (included on page 25 of this Proxy), the Corporation from March 1995
through year-end 1996 has outperformed both its peer issuers and the Standard &
Poor's 500. 1996 was also a successful year by other measures. For example, the
Corporation made concrete its stated goal of delivering high quality products
and services to its customers by achieving a 93 percent success rate on 307
measurable events, garnering average award fees of over 91 percent. The
Corporation exceeded both the earnings and cash generation estimates contained
in the Corporation's Long Range Plan. At the same time, the Corporation laid a
strong foundation for the future achieving an enviable win rate on programs and
winning a number of major competitions including the Joint Strike Fighter, Joint
Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile, Space Based Infrared System, VentureStar(TM)
and Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle. The Corporation's consolidation efforts
also continued to proceed smoothly and on schedule. They are estimated, when
fully implemented, to yield continuing annual savings of $2.6 billion and to
further strengthen the Corporation's competitive position. The Corporation also
successfully completed the acquisition of Loral and major portfolio shaping
actions including the tax-free split off of its Martin Marietta Materials
business and the sale (completed in January 1997) to General Dynamics of its
Armament Systems and Defense Systems businesses.
The Committee believes that these and other achievements of the Corporation
reflect the hard work and dedication of each of the Corporation's employees and
the leadership of the Corporation's executive officers including the named
executives and Chief Executive Officer. In setting the compensation awarded to
these individuals, the Committee specifically considered the tangible results of
this leadership which have been instrumental in enhancing stockholder value.
Stock Ownership Guidelines
The Board of Directors believes that a close alignment of the interests of
the Corporation's executives and its stockholders is imperative. Reflecting this
belief, in 1995, the Board adopted stock ownership guidelines that apply to
employees of the Corporation who participate in the Lockheed Martin Corporation
Management Incentive Compensation Plan and who earn a base salary in excess of
$100,000 per year. Under the guidelines, the Chief Executive Officer is expected
to have an ownership interest in the Corporation's Common Stock of at least five
times his or her salary. Executive Vice Presidents, Sector Presidents and Senior
Vice Presidents, a grouping which includes all of the named executives, are
expected to have ownership interests of three times base salary. Other employees
subject to the guidelines are expected to have ownership interests of two times
base salary.
17
<PAGE> 23
Although there is no specific time period in which an employee subject to the
guidelines must meet these targets, continuous progress is expected and
employees must certify annually that they are making such progress. Ownership
represented by unexercised stock options is not considered for the purpose of
meeting the guidelines. The Corporation has recommended that employees who have
not reached their targets use specified percentages of any bonus they receive to
do so.
Executive Compensation -- Tax Deductibility
For income tax purposes, publicly held corporations are not permitted to
deduct compensation paid to any named executive in excess of $1 million. As
discussed under the caption "Role of Stock Option Subcommittee", the Stock
Option Subcommittee has been organized to award stock options in order to reduce
the amount of compensation subject to the limitation. The Committee believes
that the decrease in tax liability that would result from further action to
reduce exposure to the $1 million limitation is of insufficient magnitude to
warrant alteration to the present compensation system which is achieving the
compensation objectives of the Committee discussed above and which retains the
flexibility of the Committee to exercise subjective judgment in assessing an
executive's performance. The Committee has concluded that approximately $5.7
million of the compensation awarded in 1996 is not deductible on account of the
$1 million limitation. Of this amount, approximately $5 million is attributable
to a one-time transaction bonus paid to Mr. Lanza.

EXECUTIVE BENEFITS
The Lockheed Martin Corporation Post-Retirement Death Benefit Plan for
Elected Officers provides a death benefit for retired elected officers of the
Corporation at a level of 1.5 times the officer's base salary at the time of
retirement. The amount payable under the plan is reduced to the extent an
officer has not waived his or her benefits (if any) under the Martin Marietta
Post-Retirement Death Benefit Plan or the Lockheed Post Retirement Death Benefit
Plan. Officers of the Corporation are also provided personal liability insurance
coverage while employed as an officer of $5,000,000 and accidental death and
dismemberment coverage while employed as an officer of $1,000,000.
Certain former officers of Lockheed are eligible for awards under the Long
Term Performance Plan of Lockheed and its Subsidiaries. This plan is similar to
a predecessor plan sponsored by Lockheed which was terminated effective March
15, 1995. Awards are based on financial performance over 3-year performance
cycles, beginning in 1993 and 1994. Performance measurements for each cycle are
based on absolute percentage gain in total stockholder value as compared to an
absolute
18
<PAGE> 24
target and investment value relative to a peer group investment value. In April
1996, all participants received prorated awards under the plan for the 1993
cycle. Payments made under this plan for the 1993 and 1994 cycles will be
reduced by any payment made to a participant under corresponding cycles of the
predecessor plan. Payments are made in cash unless the participant elects to
defer the payment.
Key management employees may defer receipt of all or a portion of an
incentive compensation award under the Lockheed Martin Corporation Deferred
Management Incentive Compensation Plan. The amount with accrued earnings
generally will be paid in a lump sum or in up to fifteen annual installments as
elected by the employee at the time the employee makes a deferral election. A
participant may elect to receive earnings on amounts deferred by reference to
either (i) the published rate for computing the present value of future benefits
under Cost Accounting Standard No. 415; or (ii) the performance of the
Corporation's Common Stock (including reinvestment of dividends). All amounts
accumulated under the plan must be paid in a lump sum within fifteen days
following a change of control.
Prior to March 15, 1995, Lockheed had entered into severance agreements
(the "Termination Benefits Agreements") with officers of that corporation. Those
agreements generally provide for the payment of certain benefits described below
if, within three years after the occurrence of certain events with respect to
Lockheed, the covered officer either (a) is terminated by Lockheed (other than
on account of death, disability or retirement of the officer or for "cause"
defined in the Termination Benefits Agreements, or (b) terminates his or her
employment with Lockheed for "good reason" (as defined in the Termination
Benefits Agreements).
The Termination Benefits Agreements provide for a lump sum cash payment
equal to the sum of the following amounts: two times the officer's base annual
salary at the time of the triggering event or termination, two times an amount
determined by multiplying the officer's base salary by the average percentage of
awards under the Lockheed Management Incentive Compensation Plan to base salary
paid during the last two years, and the cash value of the officer's contingent
award established under the Lockheed Long Term Performance Plan for each
incomplete performance cycle as of the date of termination, calculated on the
basis that all performance goals were fully attained and such performance cycles
were completed in their entirety. The Termination Benefits Agreements also
provide for a payment equal to the value of certain health and dental insurance
plans and other fringe benefits as in effect prior to the change in control for
a two-year period following termination. Additional benefits provided by the
Termination Benefits Agreements include the vesting of all retirement benefits
and the addition of two years of credited service under Lockheed's salaried
retirement plans and the entitlement to two additional years of matching
contributions under Lockheed's savings plans. Benefits under the Termination
Benefits Agreement may be subject to an excise tax payable by the officer, and
may not be deductible by the Corporation, to the extent they exceed certain
statutory limitations.
Prior to March 15, 1995, Martin Marietta had entered into employment
agreements with certain of its officers ("Executive Agreements"). Under the
Executive Agreements, following certain events, the officer may, for "good
cause" (as that term is defined in the Executive Agreements) and within two
years of that event and within six months after the date on which circumstances
constituting good cause exist, give notice that he or she elects to terminate
employment under the agreement. Upon receipt of such notice, or upon involuntary
termination by Martin Marietta, the Executive Agreements require Martin Marietta
to pay the officer an amount equal to three times his or her average annual
taxable compensation for the preceding five years, less one dollar, as well as
any other compensation or benefits due and any amount necessary to compensate
the officer for any excise tax imposed with respect to payments made under the
Executive Agreement or any other agreement between the officer and Martin
Marietta.
The March 15, 1995 transaction between Lockheed and Martin Marietta
constituted events under both the Termination Benefits Agreements and the
Executive Agreements which would entitle the officers to the payment of benefits
under the applicable agreement if there is a termination of employment and the
termination satisfies the requirements of the applicable agreement within the
time frame contained in the agreement. Dr. Coffman has a Termination Benefits
Agreement. Messrs. Augustine, Bennett and Teets have Executive Agreements. Mr.
Augustine has voluntarily waived his rights under his Executive Agreement as it
relates to the combination of Lockheed and Martin Marietta.
19
<PAGE> 25
The Corporation has adopted the Termination Benefits Agreements and the
Executive Agreements and has assumed the rights and obligations of Lockheed and
Martin Marietta thereunder.
The Corporation has entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Lanza.
Under the agreement, during the three-year term of employment beginning on May
1, 1996, Mr. Lanza may, for good cause, give notice that he elects to terminate
employment under the agreement. Upon receipt of such notice, or upon termination
by the Corporation for other than substantial and serious cause, the agreement
requires Lockheed Martin to pay Mr. Lanza a lump sum payment equal to the base
salary and annual bonus that would have been paid during the remaining portion
of the three-year term of the agreement had he continued to be employed through
the full term. As of the date of the printing of this Proxy Statement, the
Corporation is negotiating with Mr. Lanza as to the effect of the proposed Newco
transaction under Mr. Lanza's employment agreement if that transaction closes.
DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS
The Corporation sponsors a number of different defined contribution plans
which cover virtually all employees of the Corporation. The Lockheed Martin
Salaried Employees Savings Plan Plus ("Lockheed Savings Plan") covers most
salaried employees of the businesses of the former Lockheed and subsidiaries.
The Lockheed Martin Performance Sharing Plan ("Martin Savings Plan") covers most
salaried employees of the businesses of the former Martin Marietta and
subsidiaries. Effective January 1, 1997, the Lockheed Savings Plan and the
Martin Savings Plan were consolidated into the Lockheed Martin Salaried Savings
Program ("Salaried Savings Program").
Lockheed Savings Plan
For the year ended December 31, 1996, participants in the Lockheed Savings
Plan could save 2 percent to 12 percent of their base compensation on an
after-tax or pretax basis (the "Participant's Contribution"). The Corporation
matched 60 percent of up to the first 8 percent of compensation contributed on
behalf of the employee.
Participants in the Lockheed Savings Plan could direct the investment of
the participant's Contribution among four different investment options, of which
the Corporation's Common Stock was one option. One hundred percent of the
Corporation's matching contribution is invested in the Corporation Common Stock
Fund, which is in part funded by an employee stock ownership feature of the
plan.
Participants' accounts may be distributed upon termination of employment,
except that with regard to terminations prior to January 1, 1997, all or
portions of the Corporation's matching contribution were forfeited if the
participant terminated employment before having earned five years of service
with the Corporation, unless the termination was due to retirement, disability,
death, commencement of military service or layoff.
Because of the limitations on annual contributions to the Lockheed Savings
Plan contained in the Internal Revenue Code, certain employees are not allowed
to elect to contribute the maximum 12 percent of compensation otherwise
permitted by the Lockheed Savings Plan. A supplemental savings plan
("Supplemental Plan") has been established for Lockheed Savings Plan
participants affected by these limits. Additional matching contributions that
become payable under a Termination Benefits Agreement are also payable through
this plan. The supplemental plan provides for payment in a lump sum or up to
twenty annual installments upon termination of employment, subject to
restrictions similar to those contained in the Lockheed Savings Plan, of amounts
deferred by the employee in excess of the Internal Revenue Code's deferral
limit, the corresponding matching contribution (if applicable) and the income on
both. All amounts accumulated and unpaid under this supplemental plan must be
paid in a lump sum within fifteen calendar days following a change in control,
as defined in the plan document.
Martin Savings Plan
The Martin Savings Plan permits eligible employees to make regular savings
contributions on a pretax or after-tax basis. For the year ended December 31,
1996, participants could contribute up to 17 percent of their current base
salary subject to the limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue
20
<PAGE> 26
Code. In addition, the Corporation made a matching contribution to the
participant's account equal to 50 percent of up to the first 7 percent of
compensation contributed by the participant.
All contributions to the Martin Savings Plan are 100 percent vested. Full
distributions under the Martin Savings Plan are generally made upon the
termination, layoff, retirement, disability or death of the participant.
Participants in the Martin Savings Plan could direct the investment of
employee as well as matching contributions among ten different investment
options. One of the available options was the Common Stock of the Corporation.
During 1996, executive officers of the Corporation participating in the Martin
Savings Plan could not direct the investment of their account balances into the
Corporation Common Stock Fund.
Salaried Savings Program
Under the Salaried Savings Program, the Martin Savings Plan and Lockheed
Savings Plan were consolidated effective January 1, 1997. Participants in the
Salaried Savings Program may contribute up to 17 percent of their base pay
through pretax or after-tax contributions (maximum of 16 percent on a pretax
basis). Participants in the program can direct the investment of their
contributions in ten different investment options, including the Common Stock of
the Corporation.
The Corporation matches 50 percent of the first 8 percent of base pay
contributed to the Salaried Savings Program. Matching contributions are made in
Common Stock of the Corporation through an employee stock ownership feature.
Matching contributions are 100 percent vested.
The Supplemental Plan was also amended in January, 1997 to permit
participation by employees formerly covered by the Martin Savings Plan.
PENSION PLANS
The Corporation sponsors a number of pension plans for employees. Officers
who were employed previously by Lockheed participate in the Lockheed Retirement
Plan for Certain Salaried Employees ("Lockheed Retirement Plan"). Officers who
were employed previously by Martin Marietta participate in the Martin Marietta
Retirement Income Plan for Salaried Employees ("Martin Pension Plan"). Mr. Lanza
participated in the Lockheed Martin Tactical Systems, Inc. Pension Plan
("Tactical Systems Pension Plan") in 1996, and became a participant in the
Martin Pension Plan on January 13, 1997. All of these plans are
non-contributory.
Lockheed Retirement Plan
The calculation of retirement benefits under the Lockheed Retirement Plan
is determined by a formula which takes into account the participant's years of
credited service and average compensation for the highest five consecutive years
of the last ten years of employment with the Corporation preceding retirement.
Average pay includes an employee's normal rate of pay (without overtime) and
bonuses awarded under the Management Incentive Compensation Plan, amounts
awarded under the Lockheed Performance Incentive Plan and lump sum payments in
lieu of a salary increase. Normal retirement age under the Lockheed Retirement
Plan is 65; however, benefits are payable as early as age 55 at a reduced amount
or without reduction if the employee's age and years of credited service equal
or exceed 85.
The Lockheed Retirement Plan provides that, in the event of a change in
control of Lockheed (as defined in the plan document), (i) the Lockheed
Retirement Plan may not be terminated and the benefits payable thereunder may
not be adversely modified for a period of two years following such change in
control; (ii) the Lockheed Retirement Plan may not be merged or consolidated
with an underfunded plan during the five-year period following such change in
control; and (iii) if the Lockheed Retirement Plan is terminated within the
five-year period following such change in control, any surplus assets remaining
after satisfaction of all plan liabilities, taxes and other rightful claims of
the U.S. government shall be transferred to a trust and applied solely to the
payment of certain employee benefits otherwise payable to employees and retirees
(e.g., retiree medical benefits), the trust shall remain in existence at least
until the expiration of that five-year term. In addition, during the five-year
period following a change in control, the Lockheed Retirement Plan may not
invest in securities
21
<PAGE> 27
issued by Lockheed or any affiliate of Lockheed, any entity in which 10 percent
or more of the equity interests are held in the aggregate by officers, directors
or affiliates of Lockheed, or by 5 percent stockholders of Lockheed. The
combination constituted a change in control under the Lockheed Retirement Plan.
Supplemental retirement plans for the Lockheed Retirement Plan participants
who are subject to Internal Revenue Code limits on qualified plan benefits have
been authorized. The additional benefit payable under each of these supplemental
plans is calculated and payable in the same manner as the employee's benefit
under the Lockheed Retirement Plan, except that each supplemental retirement
plan provides that participants may elect a lump sum payment in lieu of annuity
payments and that any participant receiving annuity payment benefits under such
plans at the time of a change in control of Lockheed, as defined, will receive,
in lieu of the continuation of such annuity payments, the actuarial equivalent
of such benefits in a lump sum payable within thirty calendar days following the
change in control.
Martin Pension Plan
The calculation of retirement benefits under the Martin Pension Plan is
generally based upon the Participant's average compensation for the highest
three years of the ten years preceding retirement and the participant's number
of years of credited service. Compensation covered by the Martin Pension Plan
generally includes, but is not limited to, base salary, bonuses under the
Management Incentive Compensation Plan, lump sum payments in lieu of a salary
increase and overtime. The normal retirement age under the Plan is 65; however,
unreduced early retirement benefits are available at age 60. Reduced benefits
are available as early as age 55. Participants who retire early are also
eligible for supplements payable until age 62 based on years of credited
service.
When the Martin Pension Plan was amended to comply with the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), a modified version
of the existing benefit accrual formula was preserved for certain employees who
were participants in the Plan prior to October 1, 1975 ("Pre-ERISA Formula").
Employees who became participants after that date accrue benefits under a
different formula ("Post-ERISA Formula"). In January 1991, the Martin Pension
Plan was amended to provide that future accruals for all highly compensated
employees would be based on the Post-ERISA Formula. If as a result of the
amendment, an employee receives less from the Martin Pension Plan than would
have been otherwise received under the Pre-ERISA Formula, the Corporation
intends to make up the difference out of general corporate assets.
The Corporation also maintains supplemental retirement plans which provide
for the payment of benefits in excess of Internal Revenue Code limits on
qualified plan benefits and payment of amounts equalizing the differences in the
accrual method for those certain employees who were not participants in the
Martin Pension Plan prior to October 1, 1975.
Tactical Systems Pension Plan
The Tactical Systems Pension Plan provides an annual benefit for each year
of membership for the first fourteen years of Loral service, of 1.2 percent of
annual compensation up to the Social Security wage base and 1.45 percent of
annual compensation in excess of that base, and for each year in excess of
fourteen years of service, 1.5 percent of annual compensation up to the Social
Security wage base and 1.75 percent of annual compensation in excess of that
base, all subject to certain vesting and other requirements. The plan also
provides a minimum benefit to employees who began participation prior to 1978
and work until their normal retirement date; that minimum benefit is .75 percent
of compensation paid in the year preceding retirement multiplied by years of
service not exceeding twenty years. Compensation covered by the Tactical Systems
Pension Plan is the total in cash remuneration actually paid and generally
includes, but is not limited to, base salary, management incentive compensation
awards, bonuses and overtime.
From time to time the benefit formula under the Tactical Systems Pension
Plan is "updated" to reflect participants' current compensation. The plan was
last updated effective January 1, 1996 to provide a benefit equal to the greater
of the benefit accrued through that date or a benefit determined by assuming the
participant's annual compensation for each year of service through December 31,
1995 was equal to the average annual compensation paid for the five years ending
December 31, 1995.

<PAGE> 28
A supplemental plan also exists which generally makes up for certain
reductions in pension benefits caused by Internal Revenue Code limitations.
Remunerations covered by the plans primarily include salary and bonus.
Set forth below is a pension table which shows the estimated annual
benefits payable upon retirement for specified earnings and years of service
under the Lockheed Pension Plan.

</TABLE>
(A) The benefits payable under the Lockheed Retirement Plan may be limited by
sections 401(a)(17) and 415(d) of the Internal Revenue Code. For 1996, the
maximum earnings amount which may be considered to compute a benefit in
accordance with Section 401(a)(17) of the Code is $150,000. The maximum
annual amount payable under the Plan as of December 31, 1996, in accordance
with Section 415(b) of the Code is $120,000.
The amounts listed on the tables for the Martin Pension Plan and the
Lockheed Retirement Plan are not subject to any deduction for Social Security
benefits or other offsets and are computed as single life annuities.
As of December 31, 1996, the estimated annual benefits payable upon
retirement at age 65 for the individuals named in the compensation table, based
on continued employment at current compensation, are as follows: Mr. Augustine
$1,364,658; Dr. Coffman $1,006,558; Mr. Lanza $925,415; Mr. Bennett $723,269 and
Mr. Teets $618,275. These amounts (as do the amounts shown on the tables)
include benefits payable under the supplemental plans. The years of credited
service as of December 31, 1996, for Messrs. Augustine, Coffman, Lanza, Bennett,
and Teets were 20 years, 29 years, 24 years, 38 years and 34 years,
respectively.
The compensation covered by the plans generally includes all items of
annual compensation listed in the compensation table. However, the compensation
used to calculate Mr. Lanza's benefit payable upon retirement at age 65 was
$1,147,700. This differs from his annual compensation indicated on the
compensation table because it represents his compensation as of November 22,
1996, his normal
23
<PAGE> 29
retirement date, and does not include deferred compensation included in the
"Salary" column of the table. Mr. Lanza's estimated annual benefit as of January
1, 1997 is $1,449,826, which is based on 1996 compensation of $9,865,511. This
compensation amount differs from the 1996 annual compensation amount reflected
on the compensation table because it includes bonus amounts paid in 1996 that
are reflected in the "All Other Compensation" column of the table and does not
include deferred compensation that is included in the "Salary" column of the
table.
Set forth below is a pension plan table which shows the estimated annual
benefits payable upon retirement for specified earnings and years of service
under the Martin Pension Plan.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires that the
Corporation's officers and directors and persons who own more than 10 percent of
a registered class of the Corporation's equity securities file reports of
ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
the New York Stock Exchange and the Corporation. Based solely on its review of
copies of the forms received by it, or written representations from reporting
persons that they were not required to file a Form 5, the Corporation believes
that, with respect to transactions required to have been reported in 1996 or in
1997 on a Form 5 for the year ended December 31, 1996, all filing requirements
were complied with on a timely basis, except for the following: Form 5s for
Messrs. Blackwell, Brashears, Coffman, Flournoy, Gibbons, Hancock, Henshaw,
Hood, Hurtt, Kreick, Marafino, McLellan, Murphy, Murray, Rulon, Savage,
Schwartz, Skowronski, Tellep, Trost, Ukropina and Yearley and Mses. Cheney and
King that were due on Friday, February 14, 1997 arrived via hand delivery at the
Securities Exchange Commission approximately four minutes after the filing desk
had closed on that day and delivery was refused. Immediately thereafter, the
forms were sent by express courier and were received by the Securities Exchange
Commission on the next business day. The form 5s reported the following number
of transactions: Blackwell (2), Brashears (1), Coffman (1), Flournoy (1),
Gibbons (1), Hancock (1), Henshaw (1), Hood (1), Hurtt (1), Kreick (1), Marafino

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors recommends that the stockholders ratify the
appointment of Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors, to audit the
consolidated financial statements of the Corporation for 1997. The ratification
of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP is being submitted to the stockholders
because management believes this to be good corporate governance. Should the
stockholders fail to ratify this appointment, the Board of Directors will review
the matter. Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to attend the
Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire
and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the Ratification of
Appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as independent auditors for 1997.
STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL 1
William L. Buckel and Irmgard B. Buckel, 1641 Hess Blvd., Columbus, Ohio
43212-1415, the owners of 955 shares of Common Stock of the Corporation have
notified Lockheed Martin Corporation that they intend to present the following
proposal at this year's annual meeting:
"INTENT: The intent of this proposal is to: (a) improve intra-organizational
communication and cooperation by modifying the Corporation's "culture", (b)
increase the return on equity by improving organizational effectiveness, (c)
reduce the "external" side-effects caused by paying some employees much more
than others, (d) in the long term, increase the real income of many
corporation employees and shareholders, and (e) cause a ripple effect in
other U.S. companies who follow the Lockheed Martin example.
"WHEREAS: For large organizations to be productive, there must be a division
of labor where different people do different jobs. Currently within many
U.S. businesses, the division of labor has resulted in wage differentials
that are inconsistent with productivity differences. "Pay norms" are
frequently at odds with the wages actually being paid. (A pay norm is the
wage, or wage-difference, that is viewed by a cross-section of society to be
"normal" or reasonable.)
"Large wage differences also contribute to lower organizational productivity
because of the resulting lower morale and loyalty among lower-wage
employees. In this way, large pay differences reduce shareholder return on
equity.
"It is well know that most social problems (hunger, violence, dysfunctional
families, etc.) occur in poorer communities. Thus, on a national level,
extreme wage inequity causes a variety of social problems that stockholders
(as taxpayers) have to pay for in the form of more welfare programs, more
food subsidies, more rent subsidies, more public school programs to deal
with "at risk" students, more police, and more jails. Hopefully, smaller
wage differences at Lockheed Martin will cause a ripple effect that reduces
the "external" costs now paid by shareholders.
"THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:
"The Board of Directors is requested to implement a program to achieve,
within a 4-year period, a salary-administration schedule that limits the
highest paid persons in the organization to a total annual compensation of
no more than five (5) times the national median wage paid to full-time
employees.
"The Board of Directors is requested to report annually to the shareholders
on its progress and problems in this endeavor."
26
<PAGE> 32
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST THIS
PROPOSAL FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
The Proponents' supporting statement raises a number of serious legal
issues, social issues and other concerns that extend considerably beyond the
scope of the Proponent's proposal. In the opinion of the Board, the
Corporation's Proxy Statement and Annual Meeting are not the proper forum for
debate on these matters. As to the merits of the Proponents' specific proposal,
the Proponents offer a compensation philosophy that, in the Board's view, is
incompatible with the need to attract and retain experienced and highly
qualified executives. Lockheed Martin's goal is to be recognized as the world's
premier systems engineering and technology enterprise meeting the needs of its
customers with high-quality products and services. In order to achieve this
goal, the Corporation must attract and retain the services of dedicated and
talented employees, which requires a compensation program that is competitive
with that of other companies, provides strong incentives to meet the
Corporation's objectives and makes prudent use of the Corporation's resources.
In a separate section of this Proxy Statement (see pages 14 through 18),
the Compensation Committee, which is composed entirely of independent directors,
discusses the philosophy, structure and methodology behind the Corporation's
compensation program. The discussion includes a review of the compensation
actually paid in 1996 to the Corporation's senior executives as well as the
relationship between that compensation and corporate performance. In general,
fundamental to the Corporation's compensation philosophy is the alignment of
executives' interests with those of its stockholders. This identity of interest
is achieved by linking executive compensation to corporate performance such that
the executives and the stockholders share in the rewards of outstanding
performance. Since its inception, for example, the Corporation has outperformed
both its peers and the Standard & Poor's 500. (Other measures of performance are
noted on page 17 of the Proxy Statement). The Board is convinced that superior
returns to the stockholders are most likely to flow from the Corporation's
existing compensation philosophy rather than one that would place arbitrary caps
on compensation awards to its most senior and talented executives.
FOR THESE REASONS, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS
VOTE AGAINST THE PROPOSAL.
------------------------
STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL 2
Mrs. Evelyn Y. Davis, Watergate Office Building, 2600 Virginia Avenue,
N.W., Suite 215, Washington, D.C., the owner of 224 shares of Common Stock of
the Corporation has notified Lockheed Martin Corporation that she intends to
present the following proposal at this year's annual meeting:
"RESOLVED: That the stockholders of Lockheed Martin recommend that the Board
take the necessary steps so that future outside directors shall not serve
for more than six years."
STOCKHOLDER'S SUPPORTING STATEMENT
"REASONS: The President of the U.S.A. has a term limit, so do Governors of
many states.
"Newer directors may bring in fresh outlooks and different approaches with
benefits to all shareholders.
"No director should be able to feel that his or her directorship is until
retirement.
"If you AGREE, please mark your proxy FOR this resolution."
27
<PAGE> 33
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE AGAINST THIS
PROPOSAL FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
Lockheed Martin's directors are elected annually by the Corporation's
stockholders, following formal nomination by the Board's independent Nominating
Committee. The Board of Directors view mandatory term limits as incompatible
with the rights currently accorded to the Corporation's stockholders to choose
the best qualified individuals to serve as members of their Board on an annual
basis without arbitrary limits on who may serve. Certainly, no director on this
Board believes that his or her directorship is promised until retirement as each
director is subject to reelection on an annual basis.
The Board disagrees with the notion implicit in the proposal that a
director has only a certain number of "good years" with which to serve the
Corporation. Certainly, there is a "learning curve" associated with any complex
undertaking. At a time when wisdom and experience are at a premium, mandatory
term limits for board membership is an idea contrary to the best interests of
stockholders and incompatible with the functioning of a company as large and
complex as Lockheed Martin Corporation.
FOR THESE REASONS, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS
VOTE AGAINST THE PROPOSAL.
------------------------
MISCELLANEOUS
Financial and other reports will be presented at the meeting and will be
made available for inspection by stockholders present at the meeting, but it is
not intended that any action will be taken in respect thereof.
The cost of soliciting proxies has been or will be paid by the
Corporation. In addition to solicitation by mail, arrangements will be made with
brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to send proxy
material to beneficial owners; and the Corporation will, upon request, reimburse
them for their reasonable expenses in so doing. The Corporation has retained
Morrow & Co., Inc. to aid in the solicitation of proxies and to verify certain
records related to the solicitation at a fee of $25,000 plus expenses. To the
extent necessary in order to ensure sufficient representation at the meeting,
the Corporation may request by telephone or otherwise the return of proxies. The
extent to which this will be necessary depends entirely upon how promptly
proxies are returned. Stockholders are urged to return their proxies without
delay.
At the time this Proxy Statement was filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, the Board of Directors was not aware that any matters not
referred to herein would be presented for action at the meeting. If any other
matters properly come before the meeting, it is intended that the shares
represented by proxies will be voted with respect thereto in accordance with the
judgment of the persons voting them. It is also intended that discretionary
authority will be exercised with respect to the vote on any matters incidental
to the conduct of the meeting.
PROPOSALS BY STOCKHOLDERS INTENDED TO BE PRESENTED AT THE 1998 ANNUAL
MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS OF THE CORPORATION MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE SECRETARY OF
THE CORPORATION NO LATER THAN NOVEMBER 19, 1997 IN ORDER TO BE INCLUDED IN THE
PROXY STATEMENT AND ON THE PROXY CARD THAT WILL BE SOLICITED BY THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS IN CONNECTION WITH THAT MEETING. The inclusion of any proposal will be
subject to applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In
addition, the By-Laws of the Corporation establish an advance notice requirement
for any proposal of business to be considered at an annual meeting of
stockholders. Written notice must be delivered to the Secretary of the
Corporation at its principal executive office, 6801 Rockledge Drive, Bethesda,
Maryland 20817, not

<PAGE> 34
less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the first anniversary of the
preceding year's annual meeting and must contain specified information
concerning the matter to be brought before such meeting and concerning the
stockholder proposing such a matter. Any waiver by the Corporation of these
requirements with respect to the submission of a particular stockholder proposal
shall not constitute a waiver with respect to the submission of any other
stockholder proposal nor shall it obligate the Corporation to waive these
requirements with respect to future submissions of the stockholder proposal or
any other stockholder proposal. Any stockholder desiring a copy of the By-Laws
of the Corporation will be furnished one without charge upon written request to
the Secretary of the Corporation.

March 21, 1997
Dear Plan Participant:
The enclosed proxy materials have been prepared by the Board of Directors
of Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed Martin") in connection with its
solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on
April 24, 1997.
Also enclosed are two cards to be used for giving voting instructions to
the trustees of the plans. The plain white card is for allocated shares, and the
white card with a blue stripe is for unallocated shares. The recommendations of
the Board of Directors with respect to matters to be voted upon at the Annual
Meeting of Stockholders are printed on these cards. If you want to follow the
Board's recommendations on all matters, you can do so by signing, dating and
returning both cards in the enclosed postage-paid envelope without checking any
of the boxes on the cards. The trustees make no recommendation with respect to
your voting decisions.
All matters to be voted upon at this meeting are extremely important and
are described in the enclosed proxy materials. You should carefully read these
materials and the following explanation of the voting pass-through rules of the
Plans and how to complete and return the cards.
TO BE COUNTED, CARDS MUST BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN THE CLOSE OF BUSINESS
ON APRIL 21, 1997.
TRUSTEE RESPONSIBILITIES
U.S. Trust has trustee responsibilities with respect to the Lockheed Martin
common stock ("Common Stock") held in the Lockheed Martin Corporation Salaried
Savings Plan ("Savings Plan"). State Street Bank has trustee responsibilities
with respect to Common Stock held under the Lockheed Martin Corporation Salaried
Savings Plan II ("Savings Plan II"). References to the "Trustee" in this notice
are to U.S. Trust with respect to Common Stock held under the Savings Plan and
to State Street Bank with respect to Common Stock held under the Savings Plan
II.
HOW TO COMPLETE YOUR CARDS
The Savings Plan and the Savings Plan II (collectively, the "Plans") hold
shares of Common Stock which have been allocated to individual participants'
accounts. The Savings Plan also holds shares of Common Stock which are not yet
allocated to any individual's account. These instructions explain how you may
give voting instructions to the Trustee with respect to both allocated and
unallocated shares of Common Stock.
Only the Trustee can vote the shares held by the Plans. However, under the
terms of the Plans, each participant is entitled to instruct the Trustee how to
vote (i) all shares allocated to his or her account, and (ii) a proportionate
number of unallocated shares based upon the number of ESOP Match Shares
currently allocated to your account. You may instruct the Trustee to vote for or
against any particular matter or to abstain from voting on that matter. If you
sign, date and return a card but do not check any boxes on the card, the Trustee
will vote the shares in accordance with the Board's recommendations on the card.
1145/7726
<PAGE> 51
The following paragraphs explain how the Trustee will vote shares for which you
have not returned a card.
SHARES ALLOCATED TO YOUR ACCOUNT
The plain white card (the card without a blue stripe) represents your
voting instructions to the Trustee for the shares which have been allocated to
your account under the Plans and which will be voted in accordance with your
voting instructions. You should mark the boxes on the card to indicate your
voting instructions to the Trustee, sign and date the card and return it in the
envelope that is provided. If you do not sign, date, and return a card with
respect to shares allocated to your account, the Trustee will vote these shares
in its discretion.
UNALLOCATED SHARES
All participants who have ESOP Match Shares allocated to their accounts are
entitled to instruct the Trustee as to the voting of a proportionate number of
unallocated shares. The card with the blue stripe represents your voting
instructions to the Trustee for the unallocated shares. The unallocated shares
for which you are entitled to provide voting instructions will be approximately
.69 times the number of ESOP Match Shares shown on the card with the blue
stripe. You should mark the boxes on this card to indicate your voting
instructions to the Trustee with respect to unallocated shares, sign and date
the card and return it in the envelope provided.
If timely voting instructions for unallocated shares are not received from
all participants who have ESOP Match Shares allocated to their accounts, the
Trustee will vote the remaining unallocated shares in the same proportions as
those for which timely voting instructions have been received. Accordingly, the
exact number of unallocated shares which will be voted in accordance with your
voting instructions cannot be determined until the Trustee has received all
timely participant instructions.
VOTING DEADLINE
In order to be assured that your voting instructions to the Trustee will be
followed, you must complete, sign, date and return your cards in the enclosed
envelope, which must be received no later than the close of business on APRIL
21, 1997. Please remember to return your cards in the enclosed envelope, rather
than to Lockheed Martin or any other party. The envelope is addressed to First
Chicago, which will act as confidential vote tabulator for the Trustee.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Your voting instructions to the Trustee are strictly confidential. Under no
circumstances will the Trustee, or any of its agents, disclose to Lockheed
Martin or any other party how or if you voted. You should feel free to instruct
the Trustee to vote in the manner you think is best.
QUESTIONS
If you have any questions about your voting rights under the Plan, the
cards, or the confidentiality of your vote, please contact the Trustee between
the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time at 1-800-535-3093.

Dear Plan Participant:
The enclosed proxy materials have been prepared by the Board of Directors

Also enclosed is a card to be used for giving voting instructions to
the Trustee. The recommendations of the Board of Directors with respect to
matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders are printed on
the card. If you want to follow the Board's recommendations on all matters,
you can do so by signing, dating and returning the card in the enclosed

All matters to be voted upon at this meeting are extremely important and

materials and the following explanation of the voting pass-through rules of the
ESOP in which you participate and the explanation of how to complete and
return the card.
TO BE COUNTED, YOUR CARD MUST BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN THE CLOSE OF
BUSINESS ON APRIL 21, 1997.
HOW TO COMPLETE YOUR CARD

Space Operations Company Hourly Employee Investment Plan Plus (the "ESOPs")
hold shares of Lockheed Martin common stock. These instructions explain how
you may give voting instructions to the Trustee with respect to shares of
common stock allocated to your ESOP account.
YOUR ROLE AS A NAMED FIDUCIARY
Only the Trustee can vote the shares held by the ESOPs. However, under the
terms of each ESOP, each participant is designated as a "Named Fiduciary" for
voting purposes and thus you are entitled to instruct the Trustee how to vote
all shares allocated to your account. By signing, dating and returning a card
you are accepting your designation under the ESOP as a "Named Fiduciary", and
you should therefore exercise your voting rights prudently and in the interest
of all ESOP participants.
You may instruct the Trustee to vote for or against any particular matter
or to abstain from voting on that matter. If you sign, date and return the
card but do not check any boxes on the card, the Trustee will vote the shares
in accordance with the Board's recommendations on the card.
<PAGE> 56
You should sign, date and return a card only if you wish to act as "Named
Fiduciary" for the shares allocated to your account. The ESOPs provide that if
you do not give any voting instructions with respect to shares allocated to
your account, the Trustee will vote these shares by exercising its own
judgment.
VOTING DEADLINE
In order to be assured that your voting instructions to the Trustee will be
followed, you must complete, sign, date and return your card in the enclosed
envelope to be received no later than the close of business on APRIL 21, 1997.
Please remember to return your card in the enclosed envelope, rather
than to Lockheed Martin or any other party.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Your voting instructions to the Trustee are strictly confidential. Under no
circumstances will the Trustee, or any of its agents, disclose to Lockheed
Martin or any other party how or if you voted. You should feel free to instruct
the Trustee to vote in the manner you think is best.
QUESTIONS

you participate, the card, or the confidentiality of your vote, please contact
