Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

As previously disclosed by L3 Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 20, 2017 (the “Initial Form 8-K”), Christopher E. Kubasik will succeed Michael T. Strianese as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company, effective January 1, 2018.  This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment to the Initial Form 8-K to provide information regarding Mr. Kubasik’s compensation in connection with his new position.

On October 31, 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the following compensation arrangements for Mr. Kubasik in connection with his assumption of the role of CEO, as outlined in an offer letter between Mr. Kubasik and the Company (the “Offer Letter”):

·
Effective January 1, 2018, Mr. Kubasik’s target annual total direct compensation will be $12.36 million, composed of:

o
An annual base salary of $1.2 million;

o
Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”) compensation based on a target bonus opportunity of 130% of base salary (or $1.56 million); and

o
Long-term incentive (“LTI”) compensation having a grant date value of $9.6 million.

·
Mr. Kubasik will also be entitled to receive a one-time grant of LTI awards (the “Promotional Awards”) having a grant date fair value of $4 million, which will be awarded effective December 20, 2017 and will be granted: (1) 70% in the form of stock options; and (2) 30% in the form of restricted stock units.  Mr. Kubasik’s Promotional Awards will vest three years after the grant date, but such vesting will automatically accelerate in the event his employment is terminated by the Company without “cause,” or he terminates his employment for “good reason,” in each case, as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Change-in-Control Severance Plan.

Additional information regarding the Company’s executive compensation programs, including information about the AIP and LTI programs, can be found in the Company’s proxy statement for its 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Information regarding Mr. Kubasik’s age and prior business experience is described in the Initial Form 8-K, which description is incorporated by reference herein.

The foregoing summary of Mr. Kubasik’s Offer Letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Offer Letter, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
