PROXY STATEMENT
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of the
enclosed proxy by and on behalf of the issuer, Teledyne, Inc. ("Company"), for
use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company and at any adjournments
thereof. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 24, 1996, at 11:00 a.m. at
the Century Plaza Hotel, 2025 Avenue of the Stars, Los Angeles, California
90067-4696. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy are being
mailed to shareholders on or about March 20, 1996.
Proxies which are properly executed and received by the Company before the
meeting will be voted at the meeting. Any shareholder giving a proxy has the
power to revoke it at any time before it is voted by filing with the Secretary
of the Company either an instrument revoking the proxy or a duly executed proxy
bearing a later date. Proxies also may be revoked by any shareholder present at
the meeting who expresses a desire to vote in person. Each shareholder of record
is entitled to one vote per share of Common Stock owned on all matters submitted
to a vote of shareholders other than for the election of directors. With respect
to the election of directors, a shareholder may cumulate his or her votes. That
is, a shareholder may cast a number of votes equal to the product of the number
of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock
the shareholder owns of record. All of these votes may be cast for any
combination of one or more directors. Where no vote is specified or where a vote
FOR all nominees is marked, the cumulative votes represented by a proxy will be
cast, unless contrary instructions are given, at the discretion of the proxies
named therein in order to elect as many nominees as believed possible under the
then prevailing circumstances. If a shareholder desires to cumulate his or her
votes, the accompanying proxy card should be marked to indicate clearly that the
shareholder desires to exercise the right to cumulate votes and should specify
how the votes are to be allocated among the nominees for directors. For example,
a shareholder may write next to the name of the nominee or nominees for whom the
shareholder desires to cast votes the number of votes to be cast for such
nominee or nominees. Alternatively, without exercising his or her right to vote
cumulatively, a shareholder may instruct the proxies not to vote for one or more
nominees by writing the name(s) of such nominee or nominees on the space
provided on the proxy card. Unless indicated to the contrary in the space
provided on the proxy card, if a shareholder withholds authority to vote for one
or more nominees, all cumulative votes of such shareholder will be distributed
among the remaining nominees at the discretion of the proxies. Where no vote is
specified, the proxy will be voted FOR Proposal 2 described herein and in the
discretion of such proxies with respect to any other proposal that properly
comes before the meeting.
Abstentions will be treated as shares that are present for purposes of
determining the presence of a quorum. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote
against proposals brought before the meeting, but will not have an effect on the
election of the directors. If a broker indicates on the proxy that it does not
have discretionary authority as to certain shares to vote on a particular matter
(a broker non-vote), those shares will be considered as present for quorum
purposes on all matters. Broker non-votes will have no effect on any matter to
be brought before the meeting, including the election of directors.

SIGNED PROXY BY DELIVERING A WRITTEN NOTICE OF REVOCATION OR A LATER DATED GREEN
PROXY CARD IN THE ENCLOSED ENVELOPE.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR NEED FURTHER ASSISTANCE IN VOTING YOUR SHARES,
PLEASE CALL TELEDYNE, INC.'S PROXY SOLICITOR, MORROW & CO., INC. TOLL FREE AT
(800) 206-5879.
COST AND METHOD OF SOLICITATION
In addition to the solicitation of proxies by use of the mails, proxies may
also be solicited by the Company and its directors, officers and
management-level employees (who will receive no compensation therefor in
addition to their regular salaries and fees) by telephone, telegram, facsimile
transmission and other electronic communication methods or personal interview.
The Company will reimburse banks and brokers who hold shares of the Company's
stock in their name or custody, or in the name of nominees for others, for their
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding copies of the proxy materials to
those persons for whom they hold such shares.
The Company has retained Morrow & Co., Inc. ("Morrow") to assist in the
solicitation of proxies. Pursuant to the Company's agreement with Morrow, it
will provide various proxy advisory and solicitation services for the Company at
a cost of approximately $210,000, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and
indemnification against certain liabilities. It is expected that Morrow will use
up to approximately 50 persons in such solicitation.
Under the terms of a letter agreement dated March 24, 1995, between Goldman,
Sachs & Co. ("Goldman Sachs") and the Company (the "1995 Letter Agreement"),
Goldman Sachs has acted as financial advisor to assist the Company in responding
to any acquisition proposals it may receive or any other attempts to acquire
control of the Company by way of a merger, tender offer, purchase of all or a
substantial portion of its stock or assets, any contested solicitation of
proxies or otherwise. Under the terms of the 1995 Letter Agreement, if the
Company engages in certain types of significant transactions, a transaction fee
of between .45% and 1.125% of consideration or value involved in such
transaction would be payable to Goldman Sachs. Under the terms of the 1995
Letter Agreement, fees, other than expenses, paid to date (approximately
$3,650,000 since January 1, 1995) are to be credited against transaction fees
paid pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. The Company has also agreed
to reimburse Goldman Sachs for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and to
indemnify Goldman Sachs against certain liabilities, including liabilities under
federal securities laws, arising in connection with the provision of these
services. In connection with their ongoing engagement as financial advisor to
the Company under the 1995 Letter Agreement, general partners or employees of
Goldman Sachs may communicate in person, by telephone or otherwise, with
shareholders of the Company for the purpose of soliciting proxies on behalf of
the Company. Goldman Sachs will not receive any additional fees in connection
with any such solicitation activities. Although the 1995 Letter Agreement, by
its terms, expires on March 24, 1996 (subject to the survival of certain
provisions), the Company and Goldman Sachs currently are discussing a renewal of
that agreement (the "Proposed Agreement"), which may supersede the fee
calculation, crediting provisions and certain surviving provisions of the 1995
Letter Agreement. While both the level of fees payable under the Proposed
Agreement and the methodology of calculating such fees are still under
discussion, if the Proposed Agreement is entered into, the aggregate fees
payable thereunder (exclusive of transaction fees, if any) are not expected to
be greater than the aggregate fees paid to date under the 1995 Letter Agreement.
2
<PAGE>
Although no precise estimate can be made at this time, the Company
anticipates that the aggregate amount to be spent by the Company in connection
with the solicitation of proxies by the Company will be approximately
$2,000,000, of which approximately $250,000 has been incurred to date. This
amount includes the fees payable to Morrow but excludes (i) the salaries and
fees of officers, directors, and employees of the Company, (ii) the normal
expenses of an uncontested election, and (iii) fees and expenses paid and to be
paid to Goldman Sachs. The aggregate amount to be spent will vary depending on,
among other things, any developments that may occur in the proxy contest
discussed below.
WHX'S UNSOLICITED PROPOSALS AND PROXY CONTESTS
In November 1994, WHX Corporation ("WHX"), the parent company of
Wheeling-Pittsburgh Capital Corporation ("WPCC"), made an unsolicited proposal
to acquire the Company in a merger at a price stated to be $22 per share, to be
paid partly in cash and partly in WHX securities. The Board of Directors
unanimously rejected this proposal. Subsequently, in February 1995, WPCC
notified the Company that it intended to nominate eight individuals for election
to the Company's Board of Directors, all of whom were directors and/or officers
of WHX. Ultimately, in its 1995 proxy solicitation, WHX nominated two
individuals for election to the Company's Board of Directors, one of whom
(Ronald LaBow, the Chairman of WHX) was elected. In February 1996, WHX made an
unsolicited proposal to acquire the Company in a merger at a price of $32 per
share, $10 of which would be payable in WHX common stock and $22 in cash (the
"1996 Unsolicited Proposal"). Also in February 1996, WPCC notified the Company
that it intended to nominate nine individuals for election to the Company's
Board of Directors at the 1996 annual meeting of shareholders, all of whom are
directors of WHX or its subsidiaries. According to its notice, WPCC beneficially
owns 175,000 shares of Company Common Stock. After the Board of Directors (other
than Mr. LaBow, who did not participate in the discussion or the vote) carefully
evaluated all of the factors and circumstances that it considered relevant, the
Board of Directors unanimously rejected the 1996 Unsolicited Proposal. In
reaching its decision to reject the 1996 Unsolicited Proposal, the Board
consulted with its financial advisor, Goldman Sachs, and considered a number of
factors including: the financial performance of the Company, as well as each of
its operating units, during 1995; management's presentation of the business
plans for each of the Company's operating units, together with the estimates of
financial results which would flow from successful implementation of the
business plans; the financial performance of WHX during 1995, as well as certain
projections that WHX had provided to the Company (in response to the Company's
request for information to assist in the evaluation of WHX's proposal) with
respect to its financial performance in 1996; analysis of the public market view
of the integrated carbon steel industry in general and WHX in particular;
analysis valuing the Company on a discounted cash flow basis assuming the
successful implementation of the Company's business plans; analysis relating to
the value of the Company as compared to the market performance of comparable
companies; and analysis concerning the recent market prices in the Company's
stock, as well as various multiples of the Company and comparable companies
which relate to the Company's present and future market price.
PARTICIPANTS IN THE SOLICITATION
Under applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, each
of the directors and nominees of the Company is deemed to be a "participant" in
the Company's solicitation of proxies and Goldman Sachs and its general partners
and employees may be deemed to be "participants." Because WHX is engaged in an
election contest with the Company and its Chairman, Mr. LaBow, is not a nominee
of the Company for re-election, Mr. LaBow is not deemed a "participant" in the
Company's proxy solicitation. Appendix A to this Proxy Statement provides
certain additional information with respect to the Company's directors and
nominees other than Mr. LaBow. Appendix B to this Proxy Statement provides
certain additional information with respect to Goldman Sachs.

COMMITTEES AND MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The standing committees of the Board of Directors are the Executive
Committee, the Audit Committee and the Compensation and Stock Option Committee.
Except for certain powers which, under Delaware law, may be exercised only by
the full Board of Directors, the Executive Committee may exercise all powers and
authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business of the
Company. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee is discussed below under
the caption "Compensation and Stock Option Committee Report on Executive
Compensation." The Audit Committee reviews the scope of the Company's audits and
the related fees, the accounting principles applied by the Company in financial
reporting, the scope of internal auditing procedures and the adequacy of
internal controls.
In 1994, the full Board of Directors assumed the function and activities of
the Nominating Committee, which was then dissolved. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in the Company's By-laws, the Board of Directors will
consider nominations received from shareholders. Under the Company's By-laws,
shareholders may not present proposals for action, or nominate directors, at the
Annual Meeting of Shareholders unless written notice thereof was delivered to
the Secretary of the Company not less than 60 nor more than 90 days prior to the
first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting, which notice must
contain information specified in the Company By-laws. Further information can be
obtained by writing to the Secretary of the Company, 2049 Century Park East, Los
Angeles, California 90067-3101.
During 1995, the Board of Directors held four regular meetings and eight
special meetings. The Executive Committee held three meetings, the Audit
Committee held four meetings and the Compensation and Stock Option Committee
held three meetings. Each then incumbent director attended 75% or more of the
aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors, and
(ii) the total number of meetings held by the committees on which he or she
served.
Non-employee directors of the Company earn an annual retainer of $28,000, a
fee of $1,500 per Board meeting attended, $1,000 per committee meeting attended,
and a $5,000 additional retainer for serving as chair of the Audit or
Compensation and Stock Option Committee. Pursuant to the terms of the 1995
Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, non-employee directors who first become
directors after January 1, 1994 may elect to receive stock options in lieu of
retainer and/or meeting fees. In addition, such directors receive annual stock
options awards of 1,000 shares.

- ------------------------
(1) The benefits shown are calculated as if remuneration is the annual average
Plan compensation under the terms of the Plan. For periods through December
31, 1994, Plan compensation was limited to an individual's basic salary.
Effective January 1, 1995, plan compensation includes basic salary and
incentive compensation received on and after January 1, 1995. Basic Salary
for the past three years for the named executive officers is shown under the
heading "Salary" and incentive compensation is shown under the heading
"Bonus" in the Summary Compensation Table at page 11, above.
(2) Maximum benefits payable under the Plan are reached after 30 years of
credited service.
The Plan is a defined benefit retirement plan qualified under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"), and covers employees, except
nonsupervisory production or maintenance employees, with at least one year of
service to the Company or those of its divisions or subsidiaries that have
adopted the Plan. Benefits under the Plan depend upon an individual's average
compensation (as described above) over the 60 highest consecutive months during
the 120 months preceding termination of employment and the number of years such
individual has participated in the Plan. Participants vest in their accrued
benefits under the Plan after five years of service to the Company or its
divisions or subsidiaries. Benefits payable under the Plan are not subject to
any deduction for Social Security or other offset amounts.
15
<PAGE>
Section 415 of the Code imposes limitations on the amount of benefits
payable under tax-qualified plans. Accordingly, the maximum annual benefit
provided by the Plan for 1996 is $120,000. In addition, the Code imposes an
annual limit upon the amount of compensation which may be included in the
calculation of a benefit from a tax-qualified plan; in 1996, the maximum
includable compensation is $150,000. This amount is adjusted periodically for
increases in the cost of living. The Company has adopted a Pension Equalization
Plan to restore retirement benefits, which would be payable under the Plan but
for the limits imposed by the Code, to the level set forth in the preceding
table, calculated pursuant to the Plan formula.
The number of years of credited service and the average basic salary covered
by the Plan and the Pension Equalization Plan as of December 31, 1995, for each
named executive officer is: Hudson B. Drake, 22.2 years and $435,880; Douglas J.
Grant 17.1 years and $222,629; Donald B. Rice, 1.8 years and $662,396; Gary L.
Riley, 8.9 years and $286,023; and William P. Rutledge, 8.9 years and $692,956.
SEVERANCE ARRANGEMENTS
In 1995, the Company entered into individual severance agreements (as
amended, the "Agreements") with each of the Company's executive officers. Among
other things, the Agreements were intended to encourage the Company's executive
officers to remain with the Company during a period of uncertainty with respect
to the Company's ownership and governance. On February 29, 1996, the Board of
Directors approved amendments to the Agreements extending their terms for one
year.
The Agreements provide various severance benefits to such executive officers
in the event their employment is terminated involuntarily (other than for cause,
disability or death) or voluntarily, in either case within one year of the
occurrence of a Change of Control (defined below). In general, a Change of
Control will occur if (i) on or prior to July 31, 1997, any person acquires a
majority of the voting power of the Company's stock, (ii) the individuals who
comprised the Company's Board of Directors on March 5, 1995 cease to comprise a
majority of the Board at or before the conclusion of the 1996 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders, or (iii) on or prior to July 31, 1997, a merger, consolidation,
reorganization or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets
occurs and the Company's shareholders do not own, in substantially the same
proportion as before such transaction, at least 70% of the voting securities of
the entity resulting from such merger, consolidation or reorganization or which
acquires such assets.
The Agreements provide for the following severance benefits to each
executive officer: (i) a lump sum payment based on a multiple of his or her
annualized compensation, including performance bonuses, (ii) continuation for up
to two years of the life and health insurance benefits that were being provided
by the Company to such officer and his or her family immediately prior to
termination, (iii) personal financial and estate planning services, and (iv)
outplacement services for up to 52 weeks at the Company's expense (up to a
maximum of $15,000). Each of the Agreements contains identical terms and
conditions, except that the severance compensation multiple for Mr. Rutledge and
Dr. Rice is 2.5 and the multiple for the other executive officers is 2.25. All
severance benefits payable under the Agreements would be reduced to the extent
necessary to prevent any executive officer from being subject to the excise tax
provisions of Section 4999 of the Code applicable to any "excess parachute
payment" (as defined in Section 280G of the Code) and to preserve the ability of
the Company to deduct the severance
16
<PAGE>
benefits paid; PROVIDED, that the severance benefits payable to an executive
officer may not exceed the highest amount payable to the Company's Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer. The Agreements are not employment contracts.
Severance arrangements also are in effect for certain other employees of the
Company and its subsidiaries, conditional on a change of control with respect to
the Company and involuntary termination or voluntary termination upon
significant negative changes in the terms of employment for such employees. In
total, approximately 235 employees are covered by such arrangements. If all such
employees and all of the executive officers subject to the Agreements were
terminated upon a change of control, at current salary and target bonus levels,
the maximum aggregate value of benefits to be received by all such individuals
as a group would be approximately $28 million.

COMPENSATION AND STOCK OPTION COMMITTEE
REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY SET FORTH IN ANY OF THE COMPANY'S
PREVIOUS FILINGS UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT
OF 1934 THAT MIGHT INCORPORATE FUTURE FILINGS, INCLUDING THIS PROXY STATEMENT,
IN WHOLE OR IN PART, THIS COMPENSATION AND STOCK OPTION COMMITTEE REPORT ON
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND THE CUMULATIVE SHAREHOLDER RETURN GRAPH ON PAGE 24
SHALL NOT BE INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE INTO ANY SUCH FILINGS.
This report on executive compensation is furnished by the Compensation and
Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors ("Committee") with respect to
the compensation of the Company's executive officers for fiscal year 1995. The
Committee administers the Company's policies with respect to the compensation of
the Company's executive officers. The Committee includes among its duties
reviewing and evaluating compensation levels of the executive officers and
assessing the performance of these officers.
COMPENSATION POLICY
It is the policy of the Company to align the interests of its executive
officers with the long-term interests of its shareholders to the extent possible
through its compensation plans. In furtherance of these purposes, the Company
compensates its executive officers in a manner which simultaneously encourages
and rewards annual and long-term corporate and individual performance and allows
the Company to attract and retain qualified executive officers. It is also the
Company's policy to provide executive officers with long-term performance
incentives and to encourage share ownership through the grant of stock option
awards.
COMPENSATION PACKAGE
For 1995, the compensation package of the Company's executive officers
consisted principally of base annual salary and performance-based bonuses. In
addition, the executive officers were eligible to participate in certain of the
Company's employee benefit plans.
COMPENSATION LEVELS
In addition to the specific factors described below, in setting 1995
compensation levels the Committee considered how the total annual compensation
levels of the Company's executive officers (including the value and amount of
options held by such officers) compared to the compensation levels of executive
officers at other publicly-traded companies. Specifically, the Committee
Chairman made recommendations to the Committee based on a review of compensation
levels of executive officers from a variety of sources, including various 1994
Proxy Statements, publications such as The Conference Board Report on Top
Executive Compensation, and compensation surveys reported in business journals
such as FORBES and FORTUNE. The review was not limited to compensation levels at
other diversified technology companies included in the S & P Conglomerates Index
(see page 24 of this Proxy Statement for a list of the companies included in
this index), but also included compensation levels at such other companies as
FMC Corporation, Sunstrand Corporation, Gencorp Inc., E-Systems, Inc.,
Parker-Hannifan Corp., Avery Dennison Corp., Ingersoll-Rand Co. and Loral Corp.
This review was
18
<PAGE>
shared and discussed with the full Committee. The Committee believes that, in
the aggregate, the salary and bonus of the Company's executive officers do not
exceed what the Committee believes to be the median salary and bonus levels of
comparable executives of such other companies.
BASE SALARY
In setting the executive officers' base salaries for 1995, the Committee
considered market comparability factors and the performance of the executive
officers' respective business units, as well as the executive officers'
individual performance, during the several preceding fiscal years. As in prior
years, the Committee considered such performance measures as Company-wide sales,
net profits, cash flow and return on investment during the preceding years, as
well as such personal measures as additional effort and years of service. The
Committee did not assign specific weights to any of the factors it considered in
setting base salaries.
1995 BONUS
Bonuses for 1995 service by the executive officers were based principally on
the economic value added ("EVA") of the executive officers' respective business
units: that is, the net operating profit after tax for the applicable business
unit reduced by a charge for the cost of capital employed in that unit. For
these purposes, the assumed cost of capital was 10.5%. If an executive officer
achieved his or her EVA target for the year, he or she received his or her
targeted bonus level. Bonuses increased or decreased proportionately in relation
to the success (or failure) of the executive officer in achieving his or her EVA
target.
For purposes of EVA, the total Company was the business unit of each
executive officer other than the Segment Presidents. The EVA-based portion of
the bonuses for Messrs. Drake and Riley were based 50% on the Company's EVA and
50% on the EVA for the respective groups of companies for which each was
responsible ("Segments"). In determining target levels for 1995 EVA, the
Committee primarily considered the Company's and the applicable Segment's
projected 1995 EVA and the 1995 business plans prepared by the operating
companies, and reviewed by the Segment Presidents and other executive officers,
as well as the Company's final EVA for 1994. The Company's final EVA results for
1995 are discussed below under the heading "MR. RUTLEDGE'S 1995 COMPENSATION."
For Mr. Rutledge and Dr. Rice, the Committee set target levels for the
EVA-based portion of their bonus at 60% of base salary, in keeping with the
comparability reviews described above. The actual bonus was ratioed up or down
depending on actual Company performance compared to the target set by the
Committee. For the other executive officers, the target for their EVA-based
portion was set at 40% of salary, to be similarly adjusted for actual
performance.
In addition to the amounts awarded with respect to EVA targets, the
Committee provided for bonuses for success in achieving 1995 personal goals.
These goals were established at the beginning of 1995, after review by the
officer's immediate superior and the Committee. Generally, these goals relate to
achieving specific objectives, such as achieving levels of profits or net cash
flow, or the efficient running of the executive officer's department, as well as
to matters such as employee training, recruitment and ethics education. These
bonuses were calculated as fractions of base salary with a target level of 10%
and actual levels (between 0 and 15%) approved by the Committee based on
achievement by the
19
<PAGE>
executive officers of specific personal goals. The assigned actual percentages
were subject to the same proportional adjustments applicable to the executive
officers' EVA-based payments. On average, the bonuses relating to personal goals
made up approximately 20% of the total bonuses awarded for 1995.
STOCK OPTIONS
In order to provide additional incentives for individual and Company
performance and to foster stock ownership by the Company's executive officers,
from time to time the Committee makes awards under the Company's 1994 Long-Term
Incentive plan ("LTIP") and/or 1990 Stock Option Plan. Under the LTIP and the
1990 Stock Option Plan, the Company may grant incentive stock options meeting
the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and nonqualified options. The Committee may, at its discretion, couple
stock options with stock appreciation rights. In addition, the Committee may
issue restricted shares. By the terms of the LTIP and the 1990 Stock Option
Plan, incentive stock options cannot be granted at an exercise price less than
the fair market value of a share at the date of grant. Nonqualified options may
be granted at any price determined by the Committee.
In determining the amount of stock options to be granted to executive
officers in 1995, the Committee made a subjective determination based, among
other things, on the executive officer's shareholdings and option holdings in
the Company, overall compensation levels (including options) compared to certain
other public companies and the factors described under "BASE SALARY" and
"COMPENSATION LEVELS," above. The Committee did not assign specific weights to
any of the factors it considered in awarding stock options in 1995, nor has the
Committee set specific long-term target levels of share ownership for the
executive officers. Based on its subjective analysis, the Committee awarded a
relatively small number of stock options to the executive officers in 1995.
MR. RUTLEDGE'S 1995 COMPENSATION
Mr. Rutledge's base salary for 1995 was $710,000. That salary was set
considering all of the factors set forth above under "COMPENSATION LEVELS" and
"BASE SALARY." Mr. Rutledge's bonus for 1995 service was based primarily on the
EVA bonus program described under "1995 BONUS" above. For 1995, the Company's
EVA target was an adjusted net operating profit level after tax of approximately
$8 million in excess of the cost of capital used by the Company, assuming a cost
of capital equal to 10.5%. If that target was reached, Mr. Rutledge's EVA-based
bonus would have been 60% of his 1995 base salary. That bonus was subject to a
proportionate increase for EVA in excess of $8 million and a proportionate
decrease for EVA below $8 million. If the actual EVA achieved had been
approximately $41 million below the target (i.e., minus $33 million), the bonus
earned would have been zero. Likewise, if actual EVA had exceeded the target by
approximately $41 million, the bonus earned would have been double the target
level. Because the Company achieved actual EVA of approximately $33 million, $25
million in excess of the target, Mr. Rutledge earned a bonus level equal to 1.6
times 73.6% of his base salary (13.6% of which was attributable to Mr. Rutledge
achieving his 1995 personal goals). However, the Committee will require Mr.
Rutledge to "bank" a portion of that bonus: that is, a portion of that bonus
will be carried over to 1996 and 1997 and put at risk against any 1996 or 1997
"negative bonus" or added to any 1996 or 1997 "positive bonus." Consequently,
Mr. Rutledge was paid $715,385 as bonus and approximately $124,369 was banked
toward 1996 and 1997 service.

COMPENSATION CONSULTANTS
For 1996, the Committee has retained the services of Compensation Resource
Group, Inc. ("CRG"), a nationally recognized executive compensation and benefits
consulting firm. CRG will assist the Committee in analyzing the Company's
current executive compensation program in light of executive compensation
packages offered at comparable companies as well as the Company's long-term
strategic goals.
SENIOR EXECUTIVE PERFORMANCE PLAN; DEDUCTIBILITY OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Changes in the federal tax law include new limitations on the deductibility
of compensation in excess of $1 million payable to the Chief Executive Officer
and certain executive officers of the Company. The Senior Executive Performance
Plan described at pages 25 through 27 of this Proxy Statement, if approved by
the Company's shareholders, is intended to preserve the deductibility of
compensation paid to the Company's executive officers. Under that plan,
executive bonuses will be awarded from a pool which is funded from a percentage
of the Company's EVA for a given year. It is the Committee's intention for 1996
to make individual awards from that bonus pool, if any, based principally on the
EVA factors described under "1995 BONUS" above.

COMPENSATION AND STOCK OPTION COMMITTEE
INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
During 1995, Frank V. Cahouet, Diane C. Creel, George A. Roberts, Fayez
Sarofim, and Henry E. Singleton served on the Committee. George Kozmetsky also
served on the Committee until April 1995. Henry E. Singleton, a founder of the
Company, served as Chief Executive Officer of the Company from 1960 to 1986 and
as Chairman of the Board of the Company from 1960 to 1991, and George Kozmetsky,
who co-founded the Company, served as Executive Vice President and Secretary of
the Company from 1960 to 1966. George A. Roberts was President of the Company
from 1966 to 1990 and Chief Executive Officer from April 1986 to January 1991
and was Chairman of the Board from January 1991 until March 1993. All of these
former executive officers are significant shareholders of the Company (see table
at page 4 above).
ARGONAUT GROUP, INC.
Three of the Company's directors, George A. Roberts, Fayez Sarofim and Henry
E. Singleton, also are directors of Argonaut Group, Inc. ("Argonaut Group"), a
former subsidiary of the Company. In addition, as of January 31, 1996, directors
and executive officers of the Company beneficially owned in the aggregate more
than 20% of the outstanding stock of Argonaut Group.
The Company provides Argonaut Group with certain investment trade execution
services. During 1995, Argonaut Group paid the Company approximately $100,000
for these services. During 1995, Argonaut Insurance Company ("Argonaut
Insurance"), a subsidiary of Argonaut Group, paid the Company approximately
$125,000 pursuant to certain retrospective rating provisions of insurance
policies previously written by Argonaut Group for the Company. Future payments
to or from Argonaut Insurance may be required under the retrospective rating
provisions and reinsurance provisions of such policies. In 1995, the Company
paid approximately $1.3 million to AGI Properties, Inc. ("AGI"), a non-insurance
subsidiary of Argonaut Insurance, pursuant to a real property lease in Los
Angeles, California, which expires in October 1996. The Company believes that
the transactions described above have been entered into on terms no less
favorable than could have been negotiated with non-affiliated third parties.
UNITRIN, INC.
Three of the Company's directors, George A. Roberts, Fayez Sarofim and Henry
E. Singleton, are also directors of Unitrin, Inc. ("Unitrin"), a former
subsidiary of the Company. In addition, as of January 31, 1996, directors and
executive officers of the Company beneficially owned in the aggregate over 25%
of the outstanding stock of Unitrin.
The Company provides Unitrin with certain investment trade execution and
other professional services, as well as the use of Company aircraft. During
1995, Unitrin paid the Company approximately $600,000 for these services.
Unitrin provided data processing services to the Company for which the Company
paid approximately $1 million in 1995. In addition, during 1995, Unitrin earned
premiums of approximately $6 million for group life insurance coverages on
Company employees and their dependents. In prior years, pursuant to certain
contractual arrangements with the Company, Unitrin insured the Company and its
subsidiaries for certain coverages, including workers' compensation, general
liability and automobile liability. These insurance arrangements contained
retrospective rating and reinsurance provisions which reduce Unitrin's financial
exposure by giving it recourse against the Company and its subsidiaries. The
Company paid approximately $180,000 in 1995, pursuant to
22
<PAGE>
retrospective rating provisions of previously written policies. The Company
believes that the transactions described above have been entered into on terms
no less favorable than could have been negotiated with non-affiliated third
parties. In addition, the Company and Unitrin have certain mutual indemnities
with respect to certain tax matters and the operation of the Company prior to
the 1990 distribution of Unitrin stock to the Company's shareholders.
MELLON BANK, N.A.
Frank V. Cahouet, a director of the Company, serves as Chairman, Chief
Executive Officer and President of Mellon Bank, N.A. During 1995, the Company
paid approximately $355,000 to Mellon Bank, N.A. for banking services and
anticipates using such banking services in the future. The Company believes that
these transactions have been entered into on terms no less favorable than could
have been negotiated with non-affiliated third parties.
EARTH TECH
Diane C. Creel, a director of the Company serves as Chief Executive Officer
of Earth Tech. During 1995, the Company paid approximately $475,000 to Earth
Tech and its affiliates for environmental consulting services and anticipates
using such services in the future. The Company believes that these transactions
have been entered into on terms no less favorable than could have been
negotiated with non-affiliated third parties.
CERTAIN LOAN GUARANTEE
The Company has guaranteed repayment to an unaffiliated banking institution
of $464,000 of Mr. Rutledge's loan obligations with respect to his residence in
Los Angeles, California. As of February 29, 1996, Mr. Rutledge was current in
his obligations.

PROPOSAL 2
APPROVAL OF THE 1996 TELEDYNE, INC.
SENIOR EXECUTIVE PERFORMANCE PLAN
In February 1996, the Board of Directors adopted the Teledyne, Inc. Senior
Executive Performance Plan ("SEP Plan" or "Plan") subject to shareholder
approval. A copy of the SEP Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The following
summary does not purport to be fully descriptive and reference is made to
Exhibit A for more detailed information.
GENERAL
The purpose of the SEP Plan is to provide incentives and rewards to key
senior executives who create economic value and to ensure that income paid
pursuant to the SEP Plan is deductible by the Company for federal income tax
purposes. The SEP Plan is not a guarantee of any bonus or continued employment
to any participant.
ADMINISTRATION
The SEP Plan will be administered by the Compensation and Stock Option
Committee, or a subcommittee thereof ("Committee") that satisfies the
requirements of Section 162(m) ("Section 162(m)") of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended. Each Committee member serves in such capacity until such
time as he or she ceases to meet the requirements of Section 162(m) and Rule
16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Rule 16b-3"), or
until the Board of Directors decides to replace such member. The Committee will
have full authority to administer the SEP Plan, including authority to interpret
and construe any relevant provision of the SEP Plan and to adopt any rules and
regulations it may deem necessary. Decisions of the Committee are final and
binding on all persons who have an interest in the SEP Plan.
ELIGIBILITY
The executive officers eligible to participate in the SEP Plan for any
fiscal year are the Chief Executive Officer and each other executive officer of
the Company within the meaning of Section 3b-7 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, or other executive officers that are deemed "covered"
employees under Section 162(m). Participants are approved for each fiscal SEP
Plan year by the Committee. The Committee has sole discretion to reduce or
withhold a participant's award for the year in which such participant's
employment is terminated (voluntarily or involuntarily).
BONUS POOL
Bonuses under the SEP Plan are awarded out of a pool based on the Company's
economic value added ("EVA") for the year ("SEP Pool"). For these purposes, EVA
means the amount, if any, by which the Company's net operating profit after tax
exceeds a reference cost of capital of no less than 7% ("Measurement Factors").
No later than ninety days after the commencement of a Plan year ("Establishment
Date"), the Committee must determine the percentage of EVA that will fund the
pool, not to exceed 5% of EVA, and must determine the reference cost of capital,
not less than 7%, to be used in calculating EVA. The Committee must determine
the constituent parts of net operating profit after tax for a given year by the
Establishment Date. Generally, it is the intention of the Committee to adjust
net income to reflect net operating profits after taxes, but before non-cash
bookkeeping entries. Adjustments may include material unusual or infrequent
items like restructuring charges, sales of
25
<PAGE>
businesses or investments, litigation and other losses. In any event, net
operating profit after tax for a given year will not exceed the Company's
reported net income excluding reported financing costs such as interest expense,
unusual losses and the negative effect of accounting changes. Similarly, the
Committee must establish the constituent parts of capital by the Establishment
Date. Although the Committee intends to adjust capital to reflect the cash
invested in the Company over time, in no event will capital be lower than the
Company's reported shareholders' equity attributable to the Company's common and
preferred stock plus long-term debt, determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
BONUS AWARDS
No later than the Establishment Date, the Committee must determine the share
of the SEP Pool to be available to each participant for that year. No
participant's share of the SEP Pool may exceed thirty percent.
NEW PLAN BENEFITS
The Plan is intended to supersede the EVA-based bonus system for executive
officers described in the COMPENSATION AND STOCK OPTION COMMITTEE REPORT ON
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION at pages 18 through 21, above. For 1996, the bonus pool
for participating executive officers will be funded by no more than 5% of the
Company's 1996 SEP EVA. If such level had been in effect for 1995, when the
Company's maximum SEP EVA was $65,394,000 (making certain assumptions as to the
constituent parts of capital and net operating profit after tax), the bonus pool
would have been funded with $3,269,700, leaving approximately $62,124,300
outside the bonus pool. No participating executive officer could have received
more than 30% of such pool, and, in any event, the Committee would have had
discretion to decrease, but not to increase, the amount to be awarded to any
participant. As set forth in the Summary Compensation Table and the footnotes
thereto at pages 11 through 12, the Company's five most highly-paid executive
officers were paid aggregate bonuses of approximately $2,000,000 for 1995
service. Because the amount of 1996 SEP EVA is unknowable at this time and
because the amount payable to any participating executive officer under the Plan
is subject to Committee determination both as to the share of the pool initially
allocated and as to whether the amount resulting from such share will actually
be paid, neither the amount that will be paid in the future to any eligible
executive officer, nor the amount that would have been paid last year had the
SEP Plan been in effect, is presently determinable.
SECTION 162(M)
Section 162(m) provides that a publicly traded company may not deduct
compensation in excess of $1 million per year paid to each of such company's
chief executive officer and four other most highly compensated executive
officers. However, Section 162(m) does not include in the calculation of the $1
million any income produced under a performance-based plan within the meaning of
Section 162(m). The SEP Plan is intended to meet the criteria of that section
and, therefore, is intended to preserve the deductibility of income received by
the covered executive officers in excess of $1 million per year.
DURATION, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
The Company may, at any time, amend, discontinue or terminate the Plan in
whole or in part, provided that (i) amounts which have been credited to a
deferred bonus account must be paid out in accordance with the applicable
deferral election or, if the Committee so determines upon termination of the
Plan, distributed to such participant as soon as practicable after termination
of the Plan, and
26
<PAGE>
(ii) absent any required shareholder approval, amendments cannot be made which
alter the Measurement Factors or increase the maximum amounts payable hereunder.
In no event will any award be made under the SEP Plan for any year after fiscal
year 2000. The SEP Plan, awards under the SEP Plan, and any amendment to the SEP
Plan which would change the class of executives who are eligible to receive
awards under the SEP Plan or the permissible amount of such awards will be
subject to approval of the Company's shareholders in such manner and with such
frequency as required under Section 162(m).
VOTE REQUIRED AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock that are
present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote is required for
approval of the proposed SEP Plan. FOR ALL OF THE FOREGOING REASONS, THE BOARD
OF DIRECTORS BELIEVES THAT THE APPROVAL OF THE 1996 TELEDYNE, INC. SENIOR
EXECUTIVE PERFORMANCE PLAN IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE COMPANY AND ITS
SHAREHOLDERS AND RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL 2. EACH PROXY WILL
BE VOTED FOR THIS PROPOSAL UNLESS A SHAREHOLDER HAS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE ON THE
PROXY.
RELATIONSHIP WITH INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Arthur Andersen LLP has been selected as the Company's independent public
accountants for the year 1996. It is expected that a representative of Arthur
Andersen LLP will be present at the meeting. Such representative may make a
statement if he or she desires to do so and will be available to respond to
appropriate questions.
OTHER MATTERS THAT MAY COME BEFORE THE MEETING
The management of the Company knows of no other matters that may come before
the meeting. However, if any matters other than Proposals 1 and 2 should
properly come before the meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in
the enclosed proxy to vote all proxies in accordance with their best judgment.
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS AT THE NEXT
ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
Under the Company's By-laws, shareholders who wish to present proposals for
action, or to nominate directors, at the next annual meeting of shareholders of
the Company (that is, the next annual meeting following the annual meeting that
is scheduled to be held on April 24, 1996) must give written notice thereof to
the Secretary of the Company at the address set forth on the cover page of this
Proxy Statement no less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to April 24,
1997, unless the 1997 annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed
by more than 60 days from April 24, 1997, in which case notice must be delivered
not earlier than 90 days prior to such annual meeting and not later than the
later of 60 days prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the
first public announcement of the date of such meeting. Such written notice must
contain the information required by Section 14(b) of Article II of the Company's
By-laws. In addition, in order to be eligible for inclusion in the Company's
Proxy Statement and Proxy Card for the next annual meeting pursuant to Rule
14a-8 under
27
<PAGE>
the Exchange Act ("Rule 14a-8"), shareholder proposals must be received by the
Secretary of the Company no later than November 20, 1996. Shareholder
nominations of directors are not shareholder proposals within the meaning of
Rule 14a-8 and are not eligible for inclusion in the Company's Proxy Statement.

EXHIBIT A
TELEDYNE, INC.
SENIOR EXECUTIVE PERFORMANCE PLAN
This Senior Executive Performance Plan ("Plan" or "SEP Plan") is established
by Teledyne, Inc. ("Company") effective beginning on or after January 1, 1996
for any fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 1996 with respect to those
executives who are selected for participation in the Plan for such year.
1. PURPOSE
The purposes of the Plan are to:
(A) Promote the interests of the Company.
(B) Provide incentives and rewards to key senior executives, as a group and
individually, who are largely responsible for the management, growth and
profitability of the Company.
(C) Qualify compensation under the Plan as performance-based compensation
within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, or successor provision, and regulations promulgated thereunder
("Section 162(m)").
2. ADMINISTRATION
The Plan will be administered by a committee satisfying the outside director
requirements of Section 162(m) (including the transition rules) and, if
applicable, the "Disinterested Administration" requirements of Rule 16b-3 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Rule 16b-3"), which committee
shall be the Compensation and Stock Option Committee, or a subcommittee thereof
("Committee"). Each Committee member serves in such capacity until the earlier
of such time as he or she ceases to meet the applicable director administration
requirements of Section 162(m) (including the transition rules) and Rule 16b-3
or until the Board of Directors decides to replace such member. The Committee
will have full authority to administer the Plan, including authority to
interpret and construe any relevant provision of the Plan and to adopt such
rules and regulations as it may deem necessary. The Plan is intended to comply
with the provisions of Section 162(m). The Committee may adopt rules and
regulations consistent with such intention. Decisions of the Committee are final
and binding on all persons who have an interest in the Plan.
3. ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION
(A) ELIGIBLE OFFICERS. The executive officers eligible to participate in
the Plan for any fiscal year shall be the Chief Executive Officer and each other
executive officer of the Company within the meaning of Section 3b-7 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or such other executive officers
that are deemed, from time-to-time, to be "covered" employees under Section
162(m).
(B) PARTICIPATION. Eligible executives shall only participate in the Plan
for a fiscal year if approved for participation by the Committee and will not be
eligible for an award for any year unless explicitly approved for such year.
Participants may, at the discretion of the Committee, be approved for
participation for part of a fiscal year.
29
<PAGE>
(C) TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. The Committee has the right, in its sole
and absolute discretion, to withhold an award under the Plan for any fiscal year
if a participant's employment is terminated (involuntarily or voluntarily) for
any reason.
4. SEP POOL; BONUSES
(A) DETERMINATION OF SEP POOL. The total amount of bonuses available for
payout ("SEP Pool") for any fiscal year (or other performance period) to the
group of participating executive officers shall be a specified percentage, not
to exceed 5%, of that portion, if any, of the Company's net operating profit
after tax in excess of a reference cost of capital of no less than 7% for the
performance period ("EVA"). The specified percentage of EVA, the reference cost
of capital, the constituent parts of net operating profit after tax and capital
and the formula for determining the cost of capital (collectively, "Measurement
Factors") shall be determined and specified in writing by the Committee no later
than 90 days after the commencement of the applicable performance period;
provided, however, the Measurement Factors must be established prior to the
elapse of 25% of the applicable performance period (the "Establishment Date").
The Committee must determine affirmatively on or prior to the Establishment Date
that achieving positive EVA for the performance period is "substantially
uncertain" within the meaning of Section 162(m).
(B) BONUSES. The Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, no
later than the Establishment Date, the share of the SEP Pool available to each
participant. In no event shall any participant's share of the SEP Pool exceed
30%. Nor shall the sum of individual percentages of the SEP Pool available to
participating executive officers exceed 100%. The Committee reserves the right
to reduce or cancel any bonus payment from the applicable officer's percentage
of the SEP Pool if, in its sole discretion, the Committee deems such action
warranted based on the performance of the Company, the applicable participant or
that participant's business unit; provided that any such reduction does not
increase the bonus to any other participant.
(C) FORM OF PAYMENT. Bonuses may be paid in any combination of cash or
shares of Company Common Stock, as determined in the discretion of the Committee
prior to the end of the performance period. Payments shall be made no later than
75 days after the conclusion of the performance period. Shares of Company Common
Stock to be awarded in connection with such bonuses shall be issued under the
terms of the Teledyne, Inc. 1994 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTI Plan"), so long
as such issuance complies with the terms of that plan and such issuance is
coordinated with the administrative committee of the LTI Plan. The number of
shares to be granted in connection with such bonus to correspond with the cash
value of the bonus shall be determined by reference to the closing price of
Company Common Stock reported in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL for the business day on
which the cash payment otherwise would be made.
(D) CERTIFICATION. Before any bonus is paid to an executive officer under
the Plan, the Committee shall certify in writing that the performance goals have
been met which permit the payment of such bonus.
5. DEFERRAL ELECTION
Each participant in the Plan may elect to defer part or all of the cash
bonus awarded to him or her under the Plan in accordance with, and subject to,
the terms of the Teledyne, Inc. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan.

<PAGE>
6. AMENDMENT, TERMINATION
The Company hereby reserves the right, exercisable by the Committee, to
amend the Plan at any time and in any respect or to discontinue and terminate
the Plan in whole or in part at any time, subject to Section 7. Any amendment or
termination of the Plan may be effective with respect to any amount which has
not yet been paid out, except that (i) amounts which have been credited to a

Plan, distributed to such participant as soon as practicable after termination
of the Plan, and (ii) absent any required shareholder approval, amendments

participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or to constitute
any contract or agreement of employment or to interfere in any way with the

the Plan is approved by the Company Shareholders. In no event shall any award be
made under the Plan for any year after calendar year 2000. The Plan, awards
under the Plan, and any amendment to the Plan which would change the class of

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF OTHER
COMPANY SECURITIES BY THE COMPANY'S DIRECTORS
As of February 29, 1996, Dr. Roberts may be deemed to be the beneficial
owner of $852,000 principal amount of the Company's 10% Subordinated Debentures
due 2004, Series C ("Series C Debentures") $39,000 of which is held in the name
of Dr. Roberts' spouse and $314,000 of which is held by Dr. Roberts jointly with
his spouse.
As of February 29, 1996, Dr. Singleton was the beneficial owner of $28,000
principal amount of the Company's 10% Subordinated Debentures due 2004, Series A

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF COMPANY SECURITIES
BY ASSOCIATES OF THE COMPANY'S DIRECTORS
As of February 29, 1996, Mellon Bank Corporation, a bank holding company of
which Mr. Cahouet is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, or its subsidiaries
(collectively, "Mellon Entities"), may be deemed to be beneficial owners of
707,000 shares of Common Stock, including shares which were held by Mellon
Entities for their respective accounts and by trusts and other accounts over
which either the Mellon Entities exercise investment discretion. In addition,
Mellon Entities may from time to time beneficially own debt securities and
shares of Series E Preferred of the Company for their own account and the
account of trusts on behalf of which they exercise investment discretion.
Because of the considerable number of these accounts, and the total assets held
in such accounts, it is not practical to determine the amount of debt securities
so owned.
As of February 27, 1996, Fayez Sarofim & Co., of which Fayez Sarofim is the
Chairman of the Board and President, or its affiliates, owned the following
Company debt securities in certain investment advisory accounts for numerous
clients over which it may exercise investment discretion: Series C Debentures,
principal amount $1,478,264; Series A Debentures, principal amount $604,700; 7%
Subordinated Debentures due 1999, principal amount $247,500.
