GENERAL INFORMATION
Lockheed Martins Annual Meeting of Stockholders (Annual Meeting) will be held at 10:30 a.m. Pacific time on Thursday, April 25, 2002 at the San Diego Marriott Hotel, 333 W. Harbor Drive, San Diego, California. The purposes of the Annual Meeting are set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Your vote is important.
Our principal executive office is located at 6801 Rockledge Drive, Bethesda, Maryland 20817. This proxy statement, the proxy solicitation/voting instruction card and the notice of the Annual Meeting will be sent to our stockholders commencing March 20, 2002.
VOTING INFORMATION
We are soliciting your vote on the election of directors, ratification of appointment of the independent auditors and five stockholder proposals. Stockholders as of the close of business on the record date, March 4, 2002, are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On March 4, 2002, there were 446,449,541 shares outstanding of Lockheed Martins common stock, $1.00 par value per share. Each share outstanding on the record date (including shares held through Direct Invest, our dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan or through our employee benefit plans) is entitled to one vote on each proposal presented at the Annual Meeting. The number of shares held in your account(s) is included in the proxy sent to you.
How to Vote
You may vote your proxy by internet, telephone or mail, as explained below. Doing so does not limit your right to vote at the Annual Meeting. If your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank or other holder of record, you will be provided voting instructions from the holder of record.
| INTERNET: Access the internet voting site at http://www.eproxyvote.com/lmt, 24 hours a day. Instructional screen prompts will guide you through the voting process and a confirmation of your voting selections will be required before your vote is recorded. | |
| TELEPHONE: Dial toll free 1-877-779-8683, 24 hours a day (or 1-201-536-8073 toll call outside of U.S.). Voice prompts will guide you through the voting process and a confirmation of voting selections will be required before your vote is recorded. | |

How to Revoke a Vote
You may revoke your vote at any time before the Annual Meeting by resubmitting your vote by internet, telephone or mail; by voting a ballot at the meeting; or by specifically revoking your vote in a letter to the Secretary of the Corporation at our principal executive office or at the Annual Meeting. Your personal attendance at the meeting does not revoke your proxy.
Voting Representation and Tabulation
A quorum, or majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote, is necessary to conduct the meeting, elect directors and adopt the proposals set forth in the next section. A quorum will be determined by the number of shares represented by persons attending the meeting and by properly executed and returned proxies.
Votes at the Annual Meeting will be tabulated by two independent judges of election from EquiServe Trust Company, N.A. An abstention will not be counted for or against a proposal but will be counted for the purpose of determining the existence of a quorum. Because our bylaws 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 a proposal. Accordingly, votes withheld from director-nominees are tabulated as votes against the director-nominees in the election of directors proposal.
Under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, if your shares are held by a broker, you must give specific voting instructions to the broker on how you wish to vote with regard to election of directors and ratification of appointment of independent auditors described later in this proxy statement, or the broker may vote your shares at his or her discretion. Conversely, the New York Stock Exchange rules do not allow your broker to use his or her discretion to vote on the five stockholder proposals, so without specific instructions from you on how you wish to vote, a broker non-vote may result which has the effect of a negative vote on these proposals.
If you hold shares through one of our defined contribution plans, you may instruct a plan fiduciary on how you wish to vote shares allocated to your account. If you dont provide instructions, your allocated shares will be voted at the applicable plan fiduciarys discretion. In addition, if you are a participant in our Salaried Savings Plan, you will be asked to indicate whether you elect to direct a plan fiduciary as to the voting of a portion of unallocated shares held by the plans trust. Unallocated shares for which no instructions are received will be voted by a plan fiduciary in the same proportion as unallocated shares for which instructions are received. If you are a plan participant, you will receive separate information from a plan fiduciary concerning how you can instruct the applicable plan fiduciary.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
There are eleven nominees for election to the Board of Directors this year, and their biographical information is provided below. Although fewer nominees are named than the number fixed by the Corporations charter and bylaws, proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named. Eleven individuals rather than twelve have been nominated because the process of identifying qualified candidates is still ongoing. Candidates identified after the 2002 Annual Meeting will be considered by the Board of Directors as nominees to serve until the 2003 Annual Meeting. Each nominee except Mr. Archibald is currently serving as a director. All directors are elected to a one-year annual term that will end at the 2003 Annual Meeting. If any of the nominees is unable to stand for re-election at the 2002 Annual Meeting (an event which is not anticipated), the Board may reduce its size or designate a substitute. If a substitute is designated, proxies may vote for the substitute nominee or refrain from voting for any other nominee at their discretion.
If any other matters come before the stockholders at the Annual Meeting, the persons holding the proxies will vote in their discretion the shares represented by proxy.
The Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR each of the director-nominees.

Audit and Ethics Committee Report
Pursuant to the Committees written charter, which is reviewed annually, and on behalf of the Board of Directors, we oversee the Corporations financial reporting process and monitor compliance with its Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial reporting process and the consolidated financial statements, including the systems of internal control. The Corporations independent auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, are responsible for auditing the annual consolidated financial statements and for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The Audit and Ethics Committee is not responsible for preparing financial statements or conducting audits, which are the responsibility of management and the independent auditors, respectively. However, consistent with our discussions with management and the internal and independent auditors, we are in agreement that quality financial reporting is the result of a strong internal control environment, supported by the highest standards of ethics and business conduct, clear and effective control systems and procedures designed to manage risk, and accountability for compliance with the Corporations policies and procedures. As members of the Audit and Ethics Committee, we are independent under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.
In connection with the December 31, 2001 financial statements, we have:
| discussed with the internal and independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their audits; | |
| reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Corporations 2001 Annual Report with management and the independent auditors and received managements representation that the consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; | |
| discussed with the independent auditors the matters (including the quality of the financial statements and clarity of disclosures) required to be discussed under the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communications with Audit Committees; | |
| reviewed and considered the written disclosures and the letter received from the independent auditors, as required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, and have discussed with the independent auditors their independence from the Corporation and its management; | |
| evaluated the nature of the nonaudit services performed by the independent auditors, including the compatibility of those services with their independence; and | |
| met with the internal and independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the |
10
Corporations internal controls, and the overall quality of the Corporations financial reporting. |
Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, we recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board has approved, the inclusion of the audited consolidated financial statements referred to above in the Corporations Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

DIRECTORS COMPENSATION
Directors receive a significant portion of their compensation in the form of our common stock under the Directors Equity Plan. Each director has the option to defer all cash compensation and be credited with earnings as though the cash compensation had been invested in Lockheed Martin common stock. This approach aligns the interests of the Board with the stockholders.
During 2001, the Board held 9 meetings, and all incumbent directors attended at least 75 percent of regularly scheduled Board of Directors and committee meetings. Average attendance at all Board of Directors and committee meetings was 93 percent.
The following table summarizes the compensation of our directors during 2001 (with the exception of Dr. Coffman and Mr. Stevens who as executive officers are not paid for their service as directors) and details changes in the compensation program effective January 2002:
2001 | Effective January 2002 | |||
Cash retainer
|
$60,000 | $75,000 | ||
Stock retainer1
|
$60,000 in stock units, stock options or 50/50 combination thereof | $75,000 in stock units, stock options or 50/50 combination thereof | ||
Committee Chairman retainer | $5,000 | Same as 2001 | ||
Deferred compensation plan2,3 | Cash deferrable with earnings at prime rate, S&P 500 or LMT stock return | Same as 2001 | ||
Charitable award program4
|
$1,000,000 donation (at directors death) | Same as 2001 | ||
Travel accident insurance5
|
$1,000,000 | Same as 2001 | ||
NOTES TO TABLE:
(1) | Under the Lockheed Martin Corporation Directors Equity Plan (Directors Equity Plan), effective January 2002, each non-employee director may elect to receive (i) a number of stock units with a value on January 15 equal to $75,000 or (ii) options to purchase a number of shares of stock, which options have an aggregate fair market value on January 15 of $75,000 or (iii) a combination of stock units with a fair market value on January 15 equal to $37,500 and options to purchase a number of shares of stock which options have an aggregate fair market value on January 15 of $37,500. In 2001, the value of the awards was set at $60,000; the fair market value for purposes of determining the number of stock units was based on the closing price of our stock on May 1, 2001; options were valued on May 1, 2001 using the Black Scholes option pricing methodology. Beginning January 1, 2002, equity awards will be made on January 15 of each year. The amount a director ultimately receives will depend upon the |

performance of Lockheed Martin stock following the award. Except in certain circumstances, options and stock units vest on the first anniversary of grant. Upon a change in control (as defined in the Directors Equity Plan) a directors stock units and outstanding options become fully vested, and directors will have the right to exercise their options immediately. Upon a directors termination of service from our Board of Directors, the stock units will be distributed, at the directors election, in whole shares of stock or in cash, in a lump sum or in up to ten annual installments. During the period a directors interest is represented by stock units, a director has no voting, dividend or other rights with respect to the shares, but will receive additional stock units representing dividend equivalents (converted to stock units based on the closing market price of our common stock on the applicable dividend payment dates). Stock options are rights to purchase a specified number of shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to 100 percent of the fair market value of the stock on the grant date. The options granted pursuant to the Directors Equity Plan are non-qualified stock options and have a term of ten years. A director may exercise the options during the ten year term after meeting a one-year vesting requirement. A director has no voting, dividend or other stockholder rights for the shares of common stock covered by an option until he or she becomes the holder of record of those shares. | |
(2) | Effective May 1, 1999, the Board of Directors terminated the Lockheed Martin Corporation Directors Retirement Plan (Directors Retirement Plan) and death benefit. Upon termination of the Directors Retirement Plan, the present value of the benefits attributable to each current employee or non-employee director prior to that date and the actuarial value of the death benefit for each non-employee director was credited to the directors account under the Lockheed Martin Corporation Directors Deferred Compensation Plan (Directors Deferred Compensation Plan). Amounts credited from the Directors Retirement Plan and the death benefit are subject to the same investment and distribution choices as are available for other cash compensation deferred under the Directors Deferred Compensation Plan. |
(3) | The Directors Deferred Compensation Plan provides non-employee directors the opportunity to defer up to 100 percent of the cash portion of their fees. Deferred amounts earn interest at a rate that tracks the performance of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the published index for the Standard & Poors 500 (with dividends reinvested) or (iii) our common stock (with dividends reinvested), at the directors election. A participating directors deferred fees generally will be distributed (in a lump sum or in up to ten installments) in the January following the year in which the director terminates service. |
(4) | The Lockheed Martin Corporation 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 Lockheed Martin, all participating directors in the plan shall immediately become vested. Those directors who previously served on Martin Mariettas Board of Directors became vested as a result of the combination of the businesses of Lockheed and Martin Marietta. |
(5) | Each non-employee director is provided travel accident insurance up to $1 million in the event the director is involved in an accident while traveling on business related to Lockheed Martin. |

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation
Overview
Philosophy
Lockheed Martin seeks to attract, motivate and retain talented executives and align the interests of our executives and stockholders. We design our executive compensation program to ensure that an executives total compensation takes into account both the Corporations and the executives short-term and long-term performance. In addition, our goal is that each executive receive total compensation in a range competitive with that offered to executives with similar responsibilities at other companies of comparable size, complexity and quality.
The Management Development & Compensation Committee and Stock Option Subcommittee
The Management Development & Compensation Committee (Committee) is an independent committee consisting entirely of Board members who are neither officers nor employees of Lockheed Martin or its subsidiaries. We oversee and review the executive compensation policies and programs and recommend the form and amount of compensation to be paid to executive officers. During 2001, the Board reviewed and accepted the recommendations of the Committee.
Certain performance-based compensation (such as employee stock options) is eligible for full tax deductibility under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) if specified requirements are met. The Stock Option Subcommittee seeks to award performance-based compensation that is intended to qualify for deductibility under the IRC requirements. This report is submitted by both the Committee and Subcommittee and references to the term Committee include both.
Methodology
The Committee reviews survey data gathered by one or more nationally recognized, independent consulting firm(s) specializing in executive compensation. Each year we examine compensation information from a group of 26 publicly held industrial companies of a size, complexity and quality similar to that of the Corporation (referred to as the Comparator Group). We make comparisons to the Comparator Group by using figures that have been weighted to reflect the relative size of the businesses, as measured by a regression analysis of sales. The Boeing Company, Northrop Grumman Corporation and Raytheon Corporation are the aerospace and defense companies that are included in both the Comparator Group and a group comprising the Peer Issuers Index set forth on page 19.
Total compensation for any individual executive is generally targeted at the 50th percentile of the Comparator Group. In 2001, base salary levels reflected such factors as the
20
executives experience and time in position, sustained job performance, demonstrated success in meeting or exceeding key financial and other objectives, proven ability to create shareholder value, and the executives highly developed skills and abilities critical to the success of the Corporation. Similar factors may be taken into account in the long-term component of compensation.
Although we use the survey data to determine a competitive level of total compensation, our process is subjective and we retain complete discretion over compensation decisions.
Compensation Structure
Our executive compensation structure consists of:
| Annual compensation includes base salary and annual incentive compensation; and | |
| Long-term compensation includes stock options and long-term incentive performance awards. The Committee may, from time to time, grant other forms of incentives including restricted stock. |
Each element, other than base salary, is described below.
Annual Compensation Incentive. The Lockheed Martin Management Incentive Compensation Plan provides an opportunity for executives to earn additional cash compensation based on the Committees assessment of an executives individual contribution to meeting pre-established performance goals of the Corporation or a relevant business area.
Each plan participant, including each executive officer, is assigned a targeted percentage of base salary determined by the level of importance and responsibility of the participants position in the Corporation. The target percentages are in a range that is comparable to incentive targets for similar positions in the Comparator Group. The amount of incentive compensation generated by the target percentage is adjusted after assessment of business area performance, or in the case of corporate staff, overall corporate performance, as well as an individuals contribution to that performance. The resulting adjustments may increase or decrease the incentive award for a participant.
Adjustments for business area and corporate performance are recommended by the executive office, subject to our review and approval. The adjustments for business area and corporate performance are based upon consideration of the achievement of targeted goals that include standard measures of financial performance such as orders, sales, earnings, cash generation, and backlog. In addition, technical achievement, product performance and quality, satisfaction of critical program objectives, customer satisfaction, contract award fees and achievement of cost savings under the LM21 Program are also considered in evaluating corporate or business area performance.
21
In determining the adjustment for individual performance, we consider subjective criteria such as the individuals contributions to operational performance as well as the individuals adherence to and implementation of our policy on ethics and standards of conduct, customer satisfaction, teamwork, and retention and development of key personnel.
We retain complete discretion to determine the amount of actual awards, if any. Consequently, no particular analytical weighting of criteria is required and actual awards may fall above or below the Comparator Group 50th percentile. In addition, the Committee may provide for bonuses in recognition of exceptional performance.
Long-term Compensation Omnibus Performance Award Plan. The Lockheed Martin Omnibus Plan provides for the granting of stock-based or cash-based incentive awards based on the Corporations performance under specified criteria. During 2001, the Committee granted nonqualified stock options and made Long-Term Incentive Performance Award Program awards.
Stock Awards
Stock options were awarded to executive officers and a group of approximately 2,700 key personnel in 2001. All options awarded have an exercise price equal to the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant and are subject to a vesting schedule. Information concerning the terms of stock option awards is shown in the footnotes to the table at p. 29.
Consistent with our compensation philosophy, the Committee strives to provide option awards to key executives, as a multiple of base salary, near the median of similar long-term awards made by the Comparator Group subject to adjustment for individual factors described above under Methodology. Nevertheless, the Committee has complete discretion with regard to the number of options awarded to any individual executive.
Long-Term Incentive Performance Award Program
Under the Long-Term Incentive Performance Award Program, each recipient is assigned a dollar target amount (the Target Award), the amount of which is within our complete discretion. At the end of a specified performance period, the actual cash award a participant would be eligible to receive may be larger or smaller than the Target Award, or no award at all, depending on the relative ranking at the end of that period of our total stockholder return to the total stockholder return of the companies in the Standard & Poors 500 Index of companies at the beginning of the performance period. To the extent any payment is made at the end of the performance period, 50 percent is paid in cash and 50 percent is deferred automatically as stock units that track the performance of the Corporations common stock for a period of two years. Information concerning additional terms of previous long-term incentive performance awards is shown in the footnotes to the table at p. 31.
22
Compensation in 2001
Relationship of Corporate Performance to Compensation
The Committee reviewed the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and the other executive officers in the context of the Corporations performance in 2001. The years accomplishments established record operational and financial performance, as follows:
| Achieved the highest mission success rate achieved in the Corporations history, with the completion of 98 percent of the more than 1400 operational performance events tracked internally; | |
| Attained the highest annual level of award fees achieved since the Corporation was formed, with an average of 95 percent of maximum fee payable. Award fees are determined at the discretion of the customer as a function of the Corporations program performance; | |
| Obtained a record level of more than $40 billion in new contract orders; | |
| Reached a record level of more than $71 billion in backlog; | |
| Generated record free cash flow in excess of our business plan at more than $2 billion; | |
| Reduced debt by $2.4 billion and improved our net leverage ratio to 51 percent; | |
| Won a five-year competition to build the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), the largest defense program in history. In so doing, the Corporation was awarded an approximately $19 billion contract for the first phase of the JSF program known as System Development and Demonstration; | |
| Completed its strategic plans for the divestiture of non-core businesses announced as divestiture candidates in 1999, delivering more than $3 billion of cash to the Corporation on a pre-tax basis. Management also completed its strategic plans for the divestiture of non-core businesses, with the sale of Lockheed Martin IMS Corporation. |
Also in 2001, strategic reevaluation of market conditions and the deterioration of future business outlook resulted in the Corporations decision to exit the global telecommunications services business, and to realign and monetize the remaining global telecommunications units. This, combined with a write-down of approximately $400 million associated with the Corporations investment in the Astrolink venture, resulted in a combined pre-tax charge of $2 billion, with the cash impact amounting to less than 2 percent of the total charge. While a disappointment, the committee believes that management made a prudent assessment of changing markets and reacted in a timely manner. Based on the completion of its divestiture program and its exceptional record of performance in 2001, the Corporation is now positioned to focus its efforts on existing customers and future profitable growth.
23
Lockheed Martin shareholders received total returns of 39 percent (increase in stock price plus dividends) during 2001. Lockheed Martin had the highest returns of the peer group as compared to the Peer Group average of negative 22 percent.
As a critical evaluator of the Chief Executive Officers and the other executive officers performance, this Committee views these outstanding financial and performance results as the culmination of successful strategic actions undertaken by the Chief Executive Officer to restore the Corporations performance following a series of financial and operational setbacks in 1998 and 1999. The Committee believes that the dramatically improved program performance, operational excellence, sustained financial performance and increased shareholder value are the direct result of managements concerted efforts to foster a culture of customer satisfaction, financial and operational discipline and teamwork. The Committee has compensated the leadership team in a manner commensurate with its performance in 2001.
CEO Compensation in 2001
During 2001, Dr. Coffman received a base salary increase of 11 percent and a bonus of $3,000,000. These actions are in recognition of Dr. Coffmans superior management and leadership capabilities, which the Committee views as central to the Corporations performance in 2001. They are intended to reward Dr. Coffman for the strategic initiatives and management structure he put in place which, during 2001, resulted in the performance achievements outlined earlier in this report, and for his tenacious drive in ensuring their accomplishment.
Dr. Coffmans long-term compensation consisted of 450,000 stock options and a long-term incentive performance award with a target of $4,600,000. The Committee made the stock option award and long-term incentive performance award at the beginning of 2001, with a view towards tying Dr. Coffmans future compensation directly with the future return on the Corporations stock.
Dr. Coffmans total compensation, consisting of annual cash compensation and long-term compensation, places him approximately 33 percent above the 50thpercentile level of total compensation for companies included in the Comparator Group. For purposes of determining awards under the plan for the other named executive officers, the Committee measured the Corporations or business areas performance against the various financial, business development and operations goals discussed above. During 2001, for purposes of awarding bonuses under the Management Incentive Compensation Plan, particular emphasis was placed on sales, cash-flow generation, orders and earnings per share and specifically, the award of the JSF contract.
Dr. Coffman also received a payment of $2,457,000 (50 percent of which is payable January 2002; the remaining 50 percent is deferred for an additional two years) as the payment due under the long-term incentive award granted in December 1998 (covering the performance period January 1, 1999 December 31, 2001). The payment is 91 percent of
24
the target award made to Dr. Coffman for the 1999-2001 performance cycle and represents a ranking of the Corporations performance in the 57th percentile of companies comprising the S&P 500 index on January 1, 1999 based on total shareholder return during the performance cycle.
Stock Ownership Guidelines
We believe that a close alignment of the interests of our executives and stockholders should be encouraged. The Corporations stock ownership guidelines encourage those who participate in the Management Incentive Compensation Program and who have an annual base salary of $100,000 or more to work towards maintaining levels of ownership of the Corporations stock as a multiple of base salary.
Executive Compensation Tax Deductibility
For Federal income tax purposes, publicly held corporations are not permitted to deduct compensation paid to any named executive in excess of $1 million unless it is performance-based. As discussed previously, stock option grants and long-term incentive compensation awards under the Omnibus Plan are intended to meet the requirements for deductible performance-based compensation. We believe that the tax savings 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 we believe is achieving our compensation objectives and which retains our flexibility to exercise subjective judgment in assessing an executives performance. The Committee has concluded that approximately $3.4 million of the compensation awarded in 2001 is not deductible as a result of the $1 million limitation.

NOTES TO TABLE:
(1) | Amounts reported under the column generally represent amounts reimbursed for the payment of taxes and financial counseling fees. Some executives received certain perquisites from the Corporation. During 2001, the cost of the perquisites furnished to each executive officer, with the exception of Dr. Coffman and Mr. Smith, 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. Amounts reported in 2001 for Dr. Coffman include corporate aircraft charges of |
26
$31,485; and $41,662 for the payment of taxes. Included in the amounts reported for Mr. Smith are $184,046 for relocation expenses and $56,242 for the payment of taxes. | |
(2) | Amounts reported in 2001 represent 50 percent of the value of Long Term Incentive Award (LTIP) payments under the Omnibus Plan for the 1999-2001 performance period. The amount is automatically deferred for two years and treated during that period as if it were invested in the Corporations common stock. Amounts deferred, which are the equivalent of 25,941; 4,324; 3,363; 4,324 and 3,230 stock units for each of Messrs. Coffman, Stevens, Hancock, Coutts and Smith, become payable on December 31, 2003. |
(3) | 175,000 shares of restricted stock were awarded on December 2, 1999 and on July 20, 2000 under the Lockheed Martin 1995 Omnibus Performance Award Plan. The grants are divided into two categories. Restrictions on one-third of the shares awarded in 1999 lapsed on December 2, 2001 and restrictions on the remaining two-thirds lapse on December 2, 2003. Restrictions on one-half of the shares awarded in 2000 lapse on July 20, 2002 and restrictions on the remaining one-half lapse on July 20, 2004. Until the restrictions lapse, the recipient has the right to receive cash dividends on the restricted stock, the right to vote the restricted stock and will generally have the rights and privileges of a stockholder except that the recipient may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, use as collateral or otherwise dispose of or encumber the restricted stock. Restrictions will terminate immediately upon the recipients death or total disability as described in the award agreement. Any shares on which restrictions have not lapsed will be forfeited in the event the recipient terminates his employment with the Corporation, except the shares will become nonforfeitable if following a change of control (as defined in the plan), the recipient terminates employment for good cause (as such term is defined in the award agreement) within two years of the change in control (and within six months from the date on which the circumstances constituting good cause exist). The Stock Option Subcommittee authorized recourse loans to the recipients that the recipients will use to pay the par value of $1 per share of restricted stock. The loan is payable in full approximately two years after the date of grant of restricted stock. No interest is payable on the loans; however, the loan recipient will be required to pay income taxes on interest which is imputed at the applicable federal rate. On December 31, 2001, 75,000 shares of restricted stock were outstanding for Dr. Coffman at a value of $3,425,250. Messrs. Stevens, Hancock, Coutts and Smith each vested in one-third of their award of 25,000 shares on December 2, 2001 with 16,667 shares each still restricted on December 31, 2001 at a value of $761,182 per executive. |
(4) | Amount reported in 2001 represents 50 percent of the value of Long Term Incentive Performance Award (LTIP) payments under the Omnibus Plan for the 1999-2001 performance period. The amount was payable following completion of the performance period, although LTIP participants have the opportunity to elect further deferral of all or a part of this portion of the LTIP payment under the Deferred Management Incentive Compensation Plan (DMICP) until termination of service or beyond. |
(5) | Amounts include the Corporations 2001 contributions under the Lockheed Martin Salaried Savings Plan for Messrs. Coffman, Stevens, Hancock, Coutts and Smith of $5,250; $3,231; $5,250; $6,800; and $6,800, respectively, and the Corporations 2001 contributions under the Lockheed Martin Supplemental Savings Plan for Messrs. Coffman, Stevens, Hancock, Coutts and Smith of $52,192; $27,881; $18,058; $16,085; and $16,085, respectively. Payment of accrued vacation in excess of 400 hours consistent with Corporate policy for each named executive officer were included in the Salary column in prior years and are now reported under the column heading All Other Compensation. Excess accrued vacation paid in 2001 for |
27
Messrs. Coffman, Stevens, Hancock and Coutts totalled $47,649; $27,310; $32,788; and $24,337, respectively. | |
(6) | Mr. Hancock received $760,500 as a bonus under the Lockheed Martin Corporation Management Incentive Compensation Plan and $139,500 was paid as a bonus in recognition of the Joint Strike Fighter win. |
(7) | Of this amount, $2,476,600 represents payment of a retention bonus. The retention bonus agreement provided that if we won the Joint Strike Fighter competition, and Mr. Hancock remained employed through December 31, 2001, then he would be paid a retention benefit equal to two times annual base salary at time of payment and the average of the prior three years actual bonus payments. |

NOTES TO TABLE:
(1) | No SARs were granted in 2001. |
(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. Under the January 2001 award agreements, options vest and become exercisable in two equal installments on the first and second anniversary dates following the grant. Options expire 186 days following termination of employment, except in instances following death, disability, divestiture, layoff or retirement. In the event of death or disability, all outstanding options vest immediately and will expire ten years after the date of grant (i.e., the normal expiration date of the grant). In cases of layoff, the terms of all outstanding options will be unaffected. In cases of divestiture, the vesting schedule of any unvested options will be unaffected and all outstanding options will terminate five years from the effective date of the divestiture or on the options normal expiration date, whichever occurs first. In cases of retirement on or after the first vesting date, the terms of all outstanding options will be unaffected by retirement. |
29
Generally, retirement before the first vesting date results in forfeiture of the award. In the event of a change of control, all options vest. | |
(3) | The dollar amounts set forth in these columns are the result of calculations assuming 5% and 10% annual return rates (as required to be disclosed by SEC rules) and are not intended to forecast possible future appreciation, if any, of the Corporations common stock price. |

(1) | 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 applicable Performance Goals and the terms and conditions applicable to the award as determined by the Stock Option Subcommittee. Under the January 2001 award agreements, each award recipient is assigned a dollar target. The amount earned at the end of the 3-year performance period may be greater or lesser than the target, depending upon the Corporations Total Stockholder Return (TSR) relative to the TSR of each of the other corporations in the Standard & Poors 500 Index adjusted to reflect the effects of company mergers during the period. At the end of the performance period, 50 percent of the amount earned is payable; the remaining 50 percent of the award is deferred for two years and treated during that period as if it were invested in the Corporations common stock. Amounts deferred become payable on the second anniversary date of the end of the performance period. Awards are forfeited following termination of employment prior to the end of the performance period (or second anniversary of the end of the performance period in the case of the deferred portion), except in instances following death, divestiture, disability, retirement or layoff, in which case the award shall be prorated accordingly. In the event of a change of control during the performance period, the performance period shall terminate and a pro-rated portion of an award shall be paid to the participant. If a change of control occurs after the end of the performance period but before the second anniversary of the end of the performance period, the remaining 50 percent of the award will be payable. Amounts payable generally can be deferred under the Lockheed Martin Deferred Management Incentive Compensation Plan. |
(2) | The minimum amount payable under the plan is 25 percent of the target, payable if the Corporations TSR relative to the TSR performance of other corporations (adjusted to reflect the effects of company mergers during the period) in the Standard & Poors 500 Index is equal to or exceeds the 40th percentile ranking. If the Corporations TSR performance is below the 40th percentile ranking, the amount payable is zero. |
31
(3) | The target award is payable under the plan if the Corporations TSR relative to the TSR performance of other corporations (adjusted to reflect the effects of company mergers during the period) in the Standard & Poors 500 Index is equal to or exceeds the 60th percentile ranking. |
(4) | The maximum award of 200 percent of target is payable under the plan if the Corporations TSR relative to the TSR performance of other corporations (adjusted to reflect the effects of company mergers during the period) in the Standard & Poors 500 Index is equal to or exceeds the 85th percentile ranking. |
Executive Benefits
The Lockheed Martin Post-Retirement Death Benefit Plan for Elected Officers provides a death benefit for retired elected officers at a level of 1.5 times the officers 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. During active employment, our officers are provided personal liability insurance coverage of $5 million and accidental death and dismemberment coverage of $1 million.
Deferred Management Incentive Compensation Plan
The Lockheed Martin Corporation Deferred Management Incentive Compensation Plan (the DMICP) provides certain key management employees the opportunity to elect annually to defer, until termination of service or beyond, the receipt of all or a portion of incentive compensation awards under the Lockheed Martin Management Incentive Compensation Plan (MICP) and any amounts payable as Long Term Incentive Performance (LTIP) Awards pursuant to the Lockheed Martin Corporation Omnibus Performance Award Plan. The DMICP provides that a participant may choose, at the time the MICP deferral election is made, between two accounts (the Interest Investment Option or the Stock Investment Option). In the case of LTIP payments, fifty percent of any potential LTIP payment is automatically deferred into the Stock Investment Option for an additional two years at the time of the initial award. LTIP recipients are also given an opportunity to elect to defer further any amounts payable under an LTIP award (including following the automatic two-year deferral in the Stock Investment Option) into either the Interest Investment Option or Stock Investment Options. Under the Stock Investment Option, earnings on deferred amounts will accrue at a rate that tracks the performance of our common stock (including reinvestment of dividends). Under the Interest Investment Option, earnings on deferred amounts will accrue at a rate equivalent to the then published rate for computing the present value of future benefits under Cost Accounting Statement 415, Deferred Compensation. All amounts accumulated under the plan must be paid in a lump sum within fifteen days following a change of control.
32
Defined Contribution Plans
We sponsor a number of different defined contribution plans which cover nearly all our employees. During 2001, the Lockheed Martin Salaried Savings Plan (Salaried Savings Plan) covered the named executive officers.
The Salaried Savings Plan permits eligible employees to make regular savings contributions on a pre-tax or after-tax basis. For the year ended December 31, 2001, participants could contribute up to 17 percent of their current base salary (maximum of 16 percent on a pre-tax basis) subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations. In addition, we made a matching contribution to the participants account equal to 50 percent of up to the first 8 percent of compensation contributed by the participant.
All contributions to the Salaried Savings Plan are 100 percent vested. Full distribution under the Salaried Savings Plan is generally available upon the termination, layoff, retirement, disability or death of the participant.
Participants in the Salaried Savings Plan may direct the investment of employee contributions among fourteen different investment options including unitized funds invested in our common stock and a self-managed brokerage account. All of our matching contribution is invested in the ESOP Stock Fund, which is in part funded by an employee stock ownership feature of the plan.
Because of Internal Revenue Code limitations on annual contributions to the Salaried Savings Plan, certain employees are not allowed to elect to contribute the maximum 17 percent of compensation otherwise permitted by the Salaried Savings Plan. The Lockheed Martin Supplemental Savings Plan (Supplemental Plan) has been established for certain Salaried Savings Plan participants affected by these limits. The investment options available under the Salaried Savings Plan, including investments in our common stock, are available under the Supplemental Plan with the exception of the self-managed account, with investments in the Supplemental Plan reflecting only bookkeeping entries rather than actual purchases of the underlying instruments. The investment elections made by a participant under the Supplemental Plan need not be the same as his or her investment elections under the Salaried Savings Plan. The Supplemental Plan provides for payment following termination of employment in a lump sum or up to twenty annual installments. All amounts accumulated and unpaid under the Supplemental Plan must be paid in a lump sum within fifteen calendar days following a change in control (as defined in the plan document).

(2) | When the Martin 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 Plan was amended to provide that future accruals for all highly compensated employees would be based on the Post-ERISA Formula. As a result of the amendment, if an employee receives less from the Martin 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 amounts in this column are calculated under the Post-ERISA formula. |

Pension Plans
We sponsor a number of pension plans for employees. During 2001, the named executive officers participated in the Lockheed Martin Retirement Program (LMRP), which is made up of a number of component pension plans, including the:
| Lockheed Martin Retirement Plan for Certain Salaried Employees (the Lockheed Plan) which covers former Lockheed employees; | |
| Lockheed Martin Retirement Income Plan (the Martin Plan) which covers former Martin employees; and | |
| Lockheed Martin Federal Systems Retirement Plan (the Federal Systems Plan) which covers former Federal Systems employees. |
The calculation of retirement benefits under the LMRP is determined by a formula which takes into account the participants years of credited service and average compensation for the highest three years of the last ten years of employment with us preceding retirement. Average compensation includes the employees normal rate of pay (without overtime), bonuses earned under the MICP and lump sum payments in lieu of a salary increase. Normal retirement age is 65; however, benefits are payable as early as age 55 at a reduced amount or without reduction at age 60. Certain employees who retire between ages 60 and 62 are eligible for supplemental payments ending at age 62.
During a five-year period ending on June 30, 2002, an employee who participated in the Lockheed Plan or the Martin Plan prior to July 1, 1997 will receive a pension calculated in accordance with the formula used in the LMRP or if the pension benefit would be greater, in accordance with the formula under the Lockheed Plan or the Martin Plan, whichever is applicable. After the transition period, the employee will receive a pension calculated in accordance with the formula used in the LMRP for all service or if the pension benefit would be greater, in accordance with the heritage plan formula for service through the end of the transition period plus the LMRP formula for service after the transition period.
Employees who actively participated in the Federal Systems Plan on December 31, 1998 will receive a pension calculated in accordance with the formula used in the LMRP or if the pension benefit would be greater, in accordance with the formula under the Federal Systems Plan in effect as of December 31, 1998. There is no five-year transition period associated with the Federal Systems Plan.
The formula for calculating pension benefits under the Lockheed Plan is similar to that used in the LMRP except that average compensation is based on the highest five consecutive years of the last ten years of employment. In addition, if an employees age and years of credited service equal or exceed 85, a participant can retire as early as age 55 without reduction.
The formula for calculating pension benefits under the Martin Plan is similar to that used in the LMRP except that the formula takes into account amounts earned during the year
38
as base salary, MICP bonuses awarded that year, lump sum payments in lieu of a salary increase and overtime. Certain participants who retire as early as age 55 are also eligible for supplements payable until age 62 based on years of credited service, if they retire during the five year transition period ending June 30, 2002. The Martin Plan also contains Personal Pension Accounts (PPA) and Voluntary Pension Accounts (VPA) for employees who became employees of Martin Marietta as a result of the GE Aerospace business combination. These account balances are available as a lump sum at termination or can be converted to an annuity.
The calculation of retirement benefits under the Federal Systems Plan is based on a formula which takes into account the participants years of credited service and pay over the career of the employee. Pay currently includes salary, commissions, overtime, shift differential, lump sum pay in lieu of a salary increase, MICP bonuses awarded that year, and 401(k) and pre-tax contributions. The Federal System Plan also contains a Personal Retirement Provision (PRP) which is an account balance based on past allocations. This account balance is available as a lump sum at termination or can be converted to an annuity.
Certain salaried employees also participate in nonqualified supplemental retirement plans. These supplemental plans pay benefits in excess of Internal Revenue Code limits on qualified plan benefits or in some instances in accordance with a grandfathered or special pension formula. The supplemental plans generally pay benefits at the same time and in the same form as benefits are paid under the LMRP, although lump sum payments are available under some supplemental plans. The plans providing supplemental benefits to the Lockheed Plan provide that any participant receiving annuity 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.
As of December 31, 2001, 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: Dr. Coffman $2,850,221; Mr. Stevens $830,107; Mr. Hancock $747,516; Mr. Coutts $845,061; and Mr. Smith $550,652. 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, 2001, for Messrs. Coffman, Stevens, Hancock, Coutts and Smith were 34 years, 14 years, 34 years, 29 years, and 14 years, respectively.
For Messrs. Stevens and Coutts, the LMRP formula for all service yields the greater projected benefit. In addition to the LMRP determined benefit, Mr. Coutts will receive the value of contributions he made prior to January 1, 1995 in the form of a lump sum or a five year certain life annuity. Based on current interest rates, the annual payment under the five-year certain life annuity beginning at age 65 is projected to be $7,616. For Messrs. Coffman, Hancock and Smith, the Lockheed Plan formula for service until
39
June 30, 2002 and the LMRP formula for service thereafter yields the greater projected benefit.
The amounts listed on the preceding tables are not subject to any deduction for Social Security benefits or other offsets and are computed as single life annuities. The pension tables show the estimated annual benefits payable upon retirement for specified earnings and years of service under the Lockheed Plan, the Martin Plan, and the Lockheed Martin Retirement Program.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
1. STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL #1 By Evelyn Y. Davis
Mrs. Evelyn Y. Davis, Watergate Office Building, 2600 Virginia Avenue, N.W., Suite 215, Washington, D.C., 20037, the owner of 648 shares of Common Stock of the Corporation has notified Lockheed Martin Corporation that she intends to present the following proposal at this years annual meeting:
RESOLVED: That the stockholders recommend that the Board direct management that within five days after approval by the shareholders of this proposal, the management shall publish in newspapers of general circulation in the cities of New York, Washington, D.C., Detroit, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston and Miami, and in the Wall Street Journal and U.S.A. Today, a detailed statement of each contribution made by the company, either directly or indirectly, within the immediately preceding fiscal year, in respect of a political campaign, political party, referendum or citizens initiative, or attempts to influence legislation, specifying the date and amount of each such contribution, and the person or organization to whom the contribution was made. Subsequent to this initial disclosure, the management shall cause like data to be included in each succeeding report to shareholders. And if no such disbursements were made, to have that fact publicized in the same manner.
Stockholders Supporting Statement
REASONS: This proposal, if adopted, would require the management to advise the shareholders how many corporate dollars are being spent for political purposes and to specify what political causes the management seeks to promote with those funds. It is therefore no more than a requirement that the shareholders be given a more detailed accounting of these special purpose expenditures that they now receive. These political contributions are made with dollars that belong to the shareholders as a group and they are entitled to know how they are being spent.
Last year the owners of 12,496,021 shares, representing approximately 3.2% of shares voting, voted FOR this proposal.
If you AGREE, please mark your proxy FOR this resolution.
The Board unanimously recommends a vote AGAINST this Proposal for the following reasons:
Extensive disclosure of campaign contributions is already mandated by law, making the proposal a duplicative and unnecessary expense for the Corporation.
41
No corporate funds, by law, are expended to make political contributions to federal elections. The Corporation has an active government affairs program and many of our eligible executive employees actively participate, on a voluntary basis, through contributions to the Lockheed Martin Employees Political Action Committee (PAC). PAC contributions to candidates for federal office are reported to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and available for public inspection. Recipients of political contributions made by Lockheed Martin to state or local candidates or campaign committees are reported typically by the recipient and these reports are generally available to the public. Interested stockholders may obtain these disclosures without having the Corporation incur expense to disclose political contributions in major newspapers or other reports to the stockholders.
For these reasons, the Board unanimously recommends a vote AGAINST the proposal.
2. STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL #2 By John Chevedden
Mr. John Chevedden, 2215 Nelson Avenue, No. 205, Redondo Beach, CA 90278-2453, the owner of 200 shares of Common Stock of the Corporation has notified Lockheed Martin Corporation that he intends to present the following proposal at this years annual meeting:
RESOLVED:
SUPPORTING STATEMENT:
| Under the existing LMT rule, if 79% of shares outstanding voted to remove a director with cause and only 1% voted no only 1% of shares could force their will on the overwhelming 79% majority. |
| Simple-majority proposals like this proposal won 54% APPROVAL from shareholders at major companies in both 1999 and 2000 Investor Responsibility Research Center. |
| According to the Investor Responsibility Research Center this proposal topic, submitted by this same proponent, John Chevedden, Redondo Beach, Calif. won more than 60% approval at Delphi Automotive in May 2000. |
What incentive is there for good corporate governance highlighted by simple-majority vote?
42
Simple majority vote is particularly important when management needs greater accountability.
To regain shareholder value:
REINSTATE SIMPLE-MAJORITY VOTE
The Board unanimously recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal for the following reasons:
The Board of Directors believes that Lockheed Martins governance practices are sound, do not act to entrench this Board, and serve the best interests of our stockholders. Lockheed Martin does not have a shareholder rights plan, our Board of Directors is unclassified, over two-thirds of the Lockheed Martin directors are independent of management, as are each of the members of the Audit and Ethics, Management Development and Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees of the Board of Directors. Our stockholders have the opportunity to evaluate the qualifications and independence of Lockheed Martin directors annually.
Currently, all but a few of the proposals to be submitted to our stockholders require the vote of a majority of the then-outstanding voting power. Our charter and bylaws contain higher voting thresholds for certain fundamental corporate matters, like the removal of directors and certain other extraordinary corporate transactions (e.g., certain business combinations and the payment of greenmail). The simple majority in this proposal would be based on the number of votes cast at a meeting of stockholders, whether in person or by proxy. Under such circumstances, as little as 25.1 percent of the outstanding voting power of the Corporation would be sufficient to approve many of the matters that historically have been submitted to our stockholders for a vote.
Lockheed Martins supermajority voting provisions are not intended to, and do not, preclude unsolicited offers to acquire Lockheed Martin at a fair price. The Board of Directors strongly believes that these provisions preserve and maximize total stockholder value and protect all stockholders against the self-interested actions of one or a few large stockholders because the Board of Directors has a duty to act on a fully informed basis and in the best interests of the Corporation and all of its stockholders. The Board believes that it is in the best position to evaluate the adequacy and fairness of proposed offers, negotiate on behalf of all stockholders and protect stockholders from abusive tactics during the takeover process.
The Board of Directors believes the proposal provides no benefit to Lockheed Martins stockholders and should be rejected.
For these reasons, the Board unanimously recommends a vote AGAINST the proposal.

3. STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL #3 By Swarthmore College
Swarthmore College, 500 College Avenue, Swarthmore, PA 19081, the owner of 7,500 shares of Common Stock of the Corporation has notified Lockheed Martin Corporation that they intend to present the following proposal at this years annual meeting:
WHEREAS: our Company has pledged its commitment to principles of non-discrimination, but has not in its company-wide, written equal employment opportunity policy explicitly barred discrimination based on sexual orientation;
WHEREAS: hundreds of major corporations have adopted sexual orientation non-discrimination policies, including over half of the Fortune 500 companies;
WHEREAS: our competitors Boeing, Raytheon, and Honeywell International explicitly prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation;
WHEREAS: these companies have a competitive position in recruiting and retaining employees from the widest available talent pool;
WHEREAS: employment discrimination and the denial of equal benefits on the basis of sexual orientation diminishes employee morale and productivity;
WHEREAS: our Company has an interest in preventing discrimination and resolving complaints internally to avoid costly litigation or damage to our reputation as an equal opportunity employer;
WHEREAS: a National Gay and Lesbian Task Force review of twenty nationwide studies found that between 16% and 44% of gay men and lesbians in twenty cities nationwide have experienced some form of workplace harassment or discrimination related to their sexual orientation;
WHEREAS: our Company has operations in and makes sales to public institutions in states and cities which prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation;
WHEREAS: San Francisco, Atlanta, Seattle and Los Angeles have adopted and other jurisdictions are considering legislation restricting business with companies which do not guarantee equal treatment for lesbian and gay employees;
WHEREAS: national polls have consistently found more than three-quarters of Americans support equal rights in the workplace for gay men, lesbians and bisexuals.
RESOLVED: The Shareholders request the Board of Directors to amend Lockheed Martins company-wide written equal employment opportunity policy to bar discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
44
Stockholders Supporting Statement
By implementing a written policy prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation, our Company will ensure a respectful and productive atmosphere for all employees and enhance its competitive edge by joining the ranks of major competitors guaranteeing equal opportunity for all employees.
The Board unanimously recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal for the following reasons:
Lockheed Martin Corporation does not tolerate harassment or discrimination of any kind. We are committed to operating our businesses in full compliance with applicable laws and regulations and have implemented policies and codes of conduct regarding fair treatment of our employees. These policies reflect our belief that no employee should be subjected to any form of discrimination. The Corporation also has an Executive Diversity Council, made up of senior management, to provide constant focus on diversity-related issues and initiatives at Lockheed Martin Corporation.
Lockheed Martins Code of Ethics and Business Conduct requires that all employees treat one another with dignity and fairness, appreciating the diversity of our workforce and the uniqueness of each employee. The code further reflects our commitment to honesty, just management, fairness, providing a safe and healthy environment free from fear of retribution, and respecting the dignity due everyone.
The proposed addition to our policies is not needed, in the Boards view, because harassment and discrimination are already prohibited by existing policies in place at Lockheed Martin. We are committed to the diversity of our employees.
For these reasons, the Board unanimously recommends that stockholders vote AGAINST the proposal.
4. STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL #4 By The Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament
The Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, 1663 Bristol Pike, Bensalem, PA 19020-5796, the owner of 200 shares of Common Stock of the Corporation has notified Lockheed Martin Corporation that they intend to present the following proposal at this years annual meeting:
WHEREAS, the proponents of this resolution believe that all human beings are called to seek justice and peace, and faith leaders in all denominations exhort their members and all people of good will to preserve life and to respect creation;
WHEREAS, the United States, by its policy of nuclear deterrence, has declared itself ready, willing, and able to use nuclear weapons against not only nuclear but also biological, chemical and conventional attacks or even threats of such attacks;
45
WHEREAS, our Company is currently manufacturing component parts for nuclear weapons or their delivery systems for sale to the United States;
WHEREAS, the effects of nuclear weapons are uncontrollable and incapable of discriminating between proper military targets and civilian and other innocent persons, including citizens of neutral nations and members of future generations, and would severely damage the environment;
WHEREAS, it therefore appears that the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons is unlawful under rules of international law recognized by the United States and indisputable facts as to the effects of such weapons (Charles J. Moxley, Jr., Nuclear Weapons and International Law in the Post Cold War World (Austin & Winfield 2000) pp. 9, 726-27, 780-81);
WHEREAS, the proponents of this resolution believe that the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons is immoral;
WHEREAS, mainline U.S. religious denominations condemn nuclear war;
WHEREAS, the United States does not exist in isolation, and its actions affect states and peoples throughout the world whose actions in turn affect the United States;
WHEREAS, even if we believe the United States would never again use these dread weapons, U.S. declared readiness to use such weapons raises the risk of use by some state or group and fosters nuclear weapons proliferation when our objective should instead be the de-legitimization of such weapons;
WHEREAS, we therefore believe it is not acceptable for our Company to participate in the manufacture of component parts for nuclear weapons systems;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the shareholders request the Board of Directors to establish as policy, within one year of the 2002 annual meeting, that our Company will no longer bid on contracts to produce components of nuclear weapons or their delivery systems and that our Company will, as expeditiously and prudently as possible, take steps to disengage from current or proposed contracts for the production or maintenance of such products.
The Board unanimously recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal for the following reasons:
Lockheed Martin performs work in support of the national security of the United States. The Corporation does not manufacture or test nuclear weapons. It has had a long-standing program to construct ballistic missiles for the U.S. Navys Fleet Ballistic Missile Program. In addition, Lockheed Martin manages Sandia National Laboratory for the government, where the government conducts work designed to assure the safety and reliability of
46
nuclear weapons, including the manufacture and testing of replacement components. It is the intention of the Corporation to continue to perform services and manufacture products which the government deems to be in the national security interest of the United States. Therefore, the Board of Directors strongly recommends the resolution not be adopted.
For these reasons, the Board unanimously recommends a vote AGAINST the proposal.
5. STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL #5 By the Episcopal Church and Other Groups
The Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, 815 Second Avenue, New York, NY 10017-4503, the owner of 400 shares of Common Stock of the Corporation; the Medical Mission Sisters, Office for Responsible Investment, 338 West Street, Hyde Park, MA 02136-1320, the owner of more than $2,000 of Common Stock of the Corporation; the Sisters of Mercy Regional Community of Detroit, 29000 Eleven Mile Road, Farmington Hills, MI 48336, the owner of 52,500 shares of Common Stock of the Corporation; the School Sisters of Notre Dame, Cooperative Investment Fund, 336 East Ripa Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63125, the owner of 108 shares of Common Stock of the Corporation; The Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia, 609 South Convent Road, Aston, PA 19014-1207, the owner of at least $2,000 of Common Stock of the Corporation; The Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth, P.O. Box 476, Convent Station, New Jersey 07961-0476, the owner of 65 shares of Common Stock of the Corporation; and the Sisters of St. Francis, Mount St. Francis, 3390 Windsor Avenue, Dubuque, IA 52001-1311, the owner of 3,476 shares of Common Stock of the Corporation have notified Lockheed Martin Corporation that they intend to present the following proposal at this years annual meeting:
WHEREAS:
In light of the September 11, 2001 tragedy, we believe that these plans will not achieve that end.
Therefore let it be resolved:
Shareholders request the Board of Directors to provide a comprehensive report describing our Companys involvement in space-based weaponization and an assessment of the potential financial, legal, and public relations liabilities involved. The report would be made available to shareholders on request by October 2002 (withholding proprietary information and prepared at reasonable cost).
Stockholders Supporting Statement
The proponents of this resolution believe that outer space is the common heritage of all and should be used for peaceful purposes and the well-being of all peoples. We believe that
47
present research will soon lead to weaponization projects. We believe that shareholders deserve company transparency with regard to our companys involvement in research, development, and promotion of weapons in space. The requested report could include the following aspects:
1. | Current value of outstanding contracts to develop components of the Space Commands Programs; |
2. | Amount of the companys own money (versus government funding) spent on inhouse research and development for the Space Command program, in comparison to non-military contracts in this segment of its business; |
3. | The ethical and financial reasons for being involved in the Space Command Program. |
We urge support for this resolution.
The Board unanimously recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal for the following reasons:
Lockheed Martin is involved in a wide range of programs for the United States Government designed to preserve and enhance the security of the United States. These programs include many related to space technology, such as the construction and operation of launch vehicles, the design and manufacture of satellites, the integration of complex space systems, including sensors and telemetry packages, the operation of space-based networks, and the processing of data transmitted from space. This work is performed for a variety of United States Government agencies, including the Missile Defense Agency and the United States Air Force. Unclassified and non-proprietary information on these programs is easily obtainable through public sources, including the U. S. Governments and the Corporations web sites (www.lockheedmartin.com). Therefore, the Board of Directors believes the information requested in the proposed report would not add substantially to that already available to the public and stockholders.
For these reasons, the Board unanimously recommends a vote AGAINST the proposal.
48
NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS, STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND OTHER BUSINESS
We will make financial and other reports available for inspection by stockholders present at the Annual Meeting, but there is no intention to take action regarding the reports.
We pay for the cost of soliciting proxies. We solicit by mail and arrangements are made with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to send proxy material to beneficial owners. We will, upon request, reimburse them for their reasonable expenses. We have retained Morrow & Co., Inc. to aid in the solicitation of proxies and to verify related records at a fee of $35,000 plus expenses. To the extent necessary to ensure sufficient representation at the Annual Meeting, we may request the return of proxies by telephone or otherwise. Stockholders are requested to return their proxies without delay.
If any matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, we intend that the shares represented by proxies will be voted in the discretion of the persons voting the proxies. Discretionary authority will be exercised to vote on any matters incidental to the conduct of the meeting.

A notice of a stockholder proposal must contain specified information concerning the matter to be brought before the meeting and concerning the stockholder proponent. Any waiver by us of these requirements relating to a particular stockholder proposal shall not constitute a waiver of any other stockholder proposal nor shall it obligate us to waive these requirements regarding future submissions of that or any other stockholder proposal. To be properly brought before the 2003 Annual Meeting, written notice of nominations or other business to be introduced by a stockholder must be received between the dates of November 20, 2002 and December 20, 2002, inclusive.

AUDIT & ETHICS COMMITTEE CHARTER
The Board of Directors by resolution adopted by a majority of the Board of Directors shall provide for an Audit and Ethics Committee of three or more directors who are not officers or employees of the Corporation, who are free from any relationship that, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of the independent judgment of each member as a Committee member, and who otherwise meet financial experience requirements as interpreted by the Board of Directors. The members of the Audit and Ethics Committee shall be elected by the Board of Directors to serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall designate from among the membership of the Audit and Ethics Committee a chairman. The Audit and Ethics Committee shall, except when such powers are by statute or this charter or the Bylaws either reserved to the full Board of Directors or delegated to another committee of the Board of Directors, possess and may exercise the powers of the Board of Directors relating to all accounting and auditing matters of this Corporation. The Audit and Ethics Committee shall:
| recommend to the Board of Directors the selection, retention or termination of the independent auditors, who will be ultimately accountable to the Board of Directors and the Audit and Ethics Committee of the Corporation; |
| ensure that the independent auditors submit on a periodic basis to the Audit and Ethics Committee a formal written statement delineating all relationships between the independent auditor and the Corporation, be responsible for actively engaging in a dialogue with the independent auditors with respect to any disclosed relationships or services that may impact the objectivity and independence of the independent auditors, and be responsible for recommending that the Board of Directors take appropriate action in response to the independent auditors report to satisfy itself of the independent auditors independence; |

| require that the independent auditors advise the Audit and Ethics Committee through its Chair and the Corporations management of any matters identified during reviews of interim quarterly financial statements which are required to be communicated to the Audit and Ethics Committee by the independent auditors under auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, and that the independent auditors provide such |
I-1
communication prior to the related quarterly press release or, if not practicable, prior to filing the related Form 10-Q; | |
| review with management and the independent auditors the financial statements to be included in the Corporations Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the independent auditors judgment about the quality, not just acceptability, of accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of the disclosures in the financial statements; and |
| review with the independent auditors the results of their annual audit, their report and any other matters required to be communicated to the Audit and Ethics Committee by the independent auditors under auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. |
The Audit and Ethics Committee shall also:
| review the scope of the internal audit staffs work plan for the year and, as appropriate, review significant findings and managements actions to address these findings; |
| monitor compliance with the Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct, and review and resolve all matters of concern presented to it by the Corporate Ethics Committee or the Corporate Ethics Office; |
| review and monitor on a periodic basis the adequacy of the Corporations policies and procedures with respect to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including the Corporations record of compliance with such laws and regulations; and |
| review with the General Counsel the status of pending claims, litigation and other legal matters on a periodic basis. |
The Audit and Ethics Committee shall have the power to investigate any matter falling within its jurisdiction, and it shall also perform such other functions and exercise such other powers as may be delegated to it from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Audit and Ethics Committee shall hold four meetings each year, and shall separately meet in executive session with the Corporations independent auditors and internal audit department representative. The Audit and Ethics Committee shall review and reassess the Audit and Ethics Committee charter at least annually and make recommendations to the Board of Directors, as appropriate. All action by the Audit and Ethics Committee shall be reported to the Board of Directors at its next meeting succeeding such action and shall be subject to revision and alteration by the Board of Directors. Vacancies in the Audit and Ethics Committee shall be filled by the Board of Directors. While the Audit and Ethics Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in this charter, it is not the duty of the Audit and Ethics Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Corporations financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. This is the responsibility of management and the independent auditors. Nor is it the duty of the Audit and Ethics Committee to conduct investigations, to resolve disagreements, if any, between management and the independent auditors, or to assure compliance with laws and regulations and the Corporations Code of Ethics and Business Conduct.

U.S. TRUST COMPANY, N.A.
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PARTICIPANTS WITH LOCKHEED
MARTIN CORPORATION COMMON STOCK ALLOCATED
TO THEIR ACCOUNTS IN CERTAIN
COMPANY SPONSORED SAVINGS PLANS
Dear Plan Participant:
The enclosed 2002 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 25, 2002.
U.S. Trust Company, National Association (U.S. Trust) is a trustee with respect to the shares of Lockheed Martin Corporation common stock (Common Stock) held in the plans listed on the attachment hereto (the Plans). The enclosed Proxy Solicitation/Voting Instruction card is to be used for giving voting instructions to U.S. Trust with respect to shares held in the Plans and appointing proxies for voting shares owned outside of the Plans. This letter provides information concerning the voting of Common Stock held in the Plans.
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 voting instruction card. If you want to follow the Boards recommendations on all matters, you can do so by signing, dating and returning the card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope without checking any of the boxes on the card. You may also provide voting instructions electronically by Internet or touch-tone telephone, as explained below.
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 card or provide voting instructions electronically by Internet or telephone.
VOTING DEADLINE
In order to ensure that your voting instructions to U.S. Trust are tabulated in a timely fashion, your voting instruction card, Internet or telephone instructions must be received no later than 5 p.m. Eastern Daylight Savings Time on April 19, 2002.
If you wish to provide voting instructions by returning a voting instruction card, you must complete, sign, date and return your card in the envelope provided in time for it to be received by the voting deadline. Please return your card in the envelope provided which is addressed to EquiServe Trust Company, N.A. the confidential vote tabulator for U.S. Trust.
U.S. TRUSTS RESPONSIBILITIES
As a trustee with respect to the Common Stock held in the Plans, U.S Trusts responsibilities include providing proxy materials to participants, ensuring the confidentiality of participants voting instructions, voting shares in accordance with participant instructions, and voting shares for which no instructions are received from participants.
HOW TO GIVE VOTING INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions explain how you may give voting instructions to U.S. Trust with respect to both allocated and unallocated shares of Common Stock.
Allocated Shares
Only U.S. Trust can vote the shares of Common Stock held by the Plans. However, under the terms of the Plans, each participant is entitled to instruct U.S. Trust how to vote all shares allocated to his or her account. You may instruct U.S. Trust to vote for or against any particular matter or to abstain from voting on that matter. If you sign, date and return a voting instruction card but do not check any boxes on the card, U.S. Trust will vote the shares in accordance with the Boards recommendations on the card.
You may provide voting instructions to U.S. Trust by using the Internet or a touch-tone telephone. Simply access http://www.eproxyvote.com/lmt on the Internet or dial 1-877-779-8683 on a touch-tone telephone and follow the directions. You must have your voting instruction card and your social security number available when you vote by Internet or telephone. If you return a voting instruction card and also provide voting instructions by Internet and/or telephone, U.S. Trust will follow your latest instructions. For this purpose, the date on your voting instruction card will be the date for those instructions. If it is not possible to determine which voting instructions are the latest, U.S. Trust will follow your latest dated electronic voting instructions.
Unallocated Shares
The Lockheed Martin Corporation Salaried Savings Plan (Salaried Savings Plan) also holds shares of Common Stock which have not yet been allocated to any individuals account. If you participate in the Salaried Savings Plan, you may choose to act as a named fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), and instruct U.S. Trust how to vote a proportionate number of unallocated shares based upon the ratio of the number of ESOP Match Shares currently allocated to your account to the number of ESOP Match Shares currently allocated to the account of all participants in the Salaried Savings Plan. Your voting instructions will automatically apply to a proportionate number of unallocated shares, unless you check the box on the card indicating that you do not want to provide voting instructions for those shares.
-2-
Under ERISA, a person who agrees to act as a fiduciary becomes subject to the fiduciary responsibility rules of ERISA which rules require a fiduciary to act prudently, solely in the interest of all plan participants and beneficiaries and for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to the plan participants and beneficiaries. A fiduciary who breaches the fiduciary responsibility rules of ERISA may be liable to the plan for any losses caused by the fiduciarys actions. If you elect to act as a named fiduciary, you should exercise your voting rights prudently and in the interest of all participants and beneficiaries of the Salaried Savings Plan. If you do not wish to act as a named fiduciary for the unallocated shares, you must check the box on the voting instruction card indicating that you are not providing voting instructions for those shares.
If you are a participant in the Salaried Savings Plan and do not wish to provide voting instructions for the unallocated shares, you may not vote by telephone but may still vote using the Internet.
Failure to Provide Instructions
If you fail to sign, date and return a card or vote by Internet or telephone, U.S. Trust will vote shares allocated to your account in its sole discretion. If timely voting instructions for unallocated shares are not received from all participants who have ESOP Match Shares allocated to their accounts, U.S. Trust 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 all timely participant instructions have been received.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Your voting instructions to U.S. Trust are confidential. U.S. Trust will not disclose how you voted or if you voted, unless required to do so by law. You should feel free to instruct U.S. Trust to vote in the manner you think is best.
QUESTIONS
If you have any questions about your voting rights under the Plan, the voting instruction card or the confidentiality of your vote, please contact U.S. Trust between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Pacific time at 1-800-535-3093.
