Item 8.01. Other Events

     On August 22, 2005, Robert Mehrabian, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (the “Company”), and John T. Kuelbs, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of the Company, each separately established stock trading plans in accordance with the guidelines of Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and the Company’s policy regarding stock transactions by Company insiders. The transactions under these plans will be disclosed publicly through Form 144 and Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

     These trading plans are not meant to reflect a lack of confidence in the Company or its future by Dr. Mehrabian or Mr. Kuelbs, but are designed for estate planning purposes and to allow each of them to monetize a portion of their equity position in a systematic, nondiscretionary manner with the goal of minimal market impact and compliance with regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

     Under Dr. Mehrabian’s 10b5-1 plan, which became effective on August 22, 2005, Dr. Mehrabian may sell shares of the Company’s common stock and may exercise stock options and sell the underlying shares at prevailing market prices (but not below predetermined target prices). The total number of shares (including shares underlying options) subject to Dr. Mehrabian’s plan is 411,098. These exercises and sales are expected to take place periodically through March 2006.

     Under Mr. Kuelbs’ 10b5-1 plan, which became effective on August 22, 2005, Mr. Kuelbs may exercise options and sell the underlying shares of the Company’s common stock at prevailing market prices (but not below predetermined target prices). The total number of shares subject to Mr. Kuelbs’ plan is 120,000. These exercises and sales are expected to take place periodically through September 2006.
