The Comptroller of the City of New York, as the custodian and trustee of the New York City Employees’ Retirement System, the New York City Fire Department Pension Fund, the New York City Teachers’ Retirement System, and the New York City Police Pension Fund, and custodian of the New York City Board of Education Retirement System requesting that the Board of Directors amend Lockheed’s Clawback Policy for Executive Incentive Compensation to provide that the Board’s Management Development and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) is to (a) review, and determine whether to seek recoupment of, incentive compensation paid, granted or awarded to a senior executive if, in the Committee’s judgment, (i) there has been misconduct resulting in a violation of law or Lockheed policy that causes significant financial or reputational harm to Lockheed and (ii) the senior executive either committed the misconduct or failed in his or her responsibility to manage or monitor conduct or risks; and (b) disclose to shareholders the circumstances of any recoupment. On April 14, 2014 the Comptroller of the City of New York sent Lockheed Martin a letter stating that the Comptroller was withdrawing the proposal.
