Item 8.01 Other Events

 

As previously announced, Dain M. Hancock, formerly Executive Vice President and President of Lockheed Martin Corporation’s Aeronautics Company, retired as an employee of the Corporation on March 31, 2005.

 

Prior to his retirement, Mr. Hancock elected to receive both the qualified and non-qualified pension benefit that he had accrued under the Lockheed Martin Retirement Program in the form of a monthly annuity, 50 percent of which will continue to be paid to his spouse as a joint annuitant in the event he predeceases his spouse. The Corporation’s proxy statement, dated March 18, 2005, stated that Mr. Hancock elected to receive a 100 percent joint and survivor annuity. The estimated qualified pension benefit payable to Mr. Hancock, in the form of a 50 percent joint and survivor annuity effective April 1, 2005, is $93,272 annually (instead of the estimated $83,436 previously disclosed in the proxy statement). The estimated remaining annual nonqualified benefit payable to Mr. Hancock, in the form of a 50 percent joint and survivor annuity effective April 1, 2005 (after reduction due to his election to receive a portion of his nonqualified benefit in the form of a one-time $2,000,000 lump-sum payment), is $425,154 (instead of the estimated $377,545 previously disclosed). The discount rate used to calculate the payment amounts was 3.75 percent, the rate in effect at the time of Mr. Hancock’s retirement.
