2. Selection of Chairman
The Corporations Bylaws provide that the directors shall annually elect a Chairman from among the
directors. The Corporations policy as to whether the role of the Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman should be separate is to adopt the practice which best serves the Corporations needs at any
particular time.
3. Lead Director
The Board, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the independent directors, designates one of the
independent directors as the Lead Director. The Lead Director:
is independent and elected by a majority of the independent directors annually and may be removed
from the position by a majority of the independent directors;

members of the Board or executive sessions of the independent directors, or when the Chairman of
the Board is ill, absent, incapacitated or otherwise unable to carry out the duties of Chairman of the
Board;

and schedules of the meetings of the Board and committees and approves the topics and schedules

4. Size of Board
The Board has determined that a board size of ten to fourteen is currently optimum.
5. Director Independence
A majority of the Board must consist of independent directors within the meaning of the New York
Stock Exchange (NYSE) listing standards. The Board believes that a substantial majority of the
Board should be independent and takes this belief into consideration in evaluating potential nominees
for election as a director.
(i) the director is, or has been within the last three years, an employee of the Corporation, or an
immediate family member is, or has been within the last three years, an executive officer of
the Corporation;
(ii) the director has received, or has an immediate family member who has received, during any
twelve-month period within the last three years, more than $120,000 in direct compensation
from the Corporation, other than director and committee fees and pension or other forms of
deferred compensation for prior service (provided such compensation is not contingent in
any way on continued service);
(iii) (A) the director is a current partner of a firm that is the Corporations internal or external
auditor; (B) the director is a current employee of such a firm; (C) the director has an
immediate family member who is a current partner of such a firm; (D) the director has an
immediate family member who is a current employee of such a firm and personally works on
the Corporations audit; or (E) the director or an immediate family member was within the
last three years a partner or employee of such a firm and personally worked on the
Corporations audit within that time;
(iv) the director or an immediate family member is, or has been within the last three years,
employed as an executive officer of another corporation where any of the Corporations
present executive officers at the same time serves or served on that corporations
compensation committee; or
(v) the director is a current employee, or an immediate family member is a current executive
officer, of a corporation that has made payments to, or received payments from, the
Corporation for property or services in an amount which, in any of the last three fiscal years,
exceeds the greater of $1 million, or two percent of such other corporations consolidated
gross revenues (as reported in the last completed fiscal year of such other corporation).
Annually the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the qualifications and
backgrounds of each individual director, as well as the overall composition of the Board, and
recommends to the Board the slate of directors to be nominated for election at the annual meeting of
stockholders. Nominations to the Board may also be submitted to the Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee by the Corporations stockholders.
18. Committees
The Board currently is organized into seven committees: Audit; Classified Business and Security;
Ethics and Sustainability; Executive; Management Development and Compensation; Nominating and
Corporate Governance; and Strategic Affairs and Finance. Provisions with respect to membership,
responsibilities, authorities and governance of each of these committees and their subcommittees (if
applicable) are set forth in the committee charters (http://www.lockheedmartin.com/investor). All
committee members are independent pursuant to the NYSE listing standards except for the Executive
Committee which is currently chaired by the Chairman of the Board. From time to time, the Board
may provide for such other standing or special committees as may be necessary to carry out its
responsibilities.
23. Presentations
To the extent practicable, Board presentations are distributed in advance to the directors. Proprietary
or otherwise sensitive materials may be reserved for distribution at the Board meeting.
(ii) In furtherance of aligning the interests between directors and stockholders and to avoid the
appearance of disloyalty, Board members will not purchase financial instruments designed to
hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of the Corporations common stock (including
prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds). This policy
applies to shares of the Corporations common stock that are (a) granted to the members of the
Board of Directors as part of the Boards compensation; or (b) held, directly or indirectly, by the
members of the Board of Directors.
29. Director Access to Senior Management and Independent Advisors
Directors have access to the Corporations management. Directors shall not give direction, other than
through the Chief Executive Officer. The Board encourages management to include key managers in
Board meetings who can share their expertise with respect to matters before the Board. This also
enables the Board to gain exposure to key managers with future potential in the Corporation.
Directors may also engage and have access to the Boards independent advisors.
35. Board Interaction with Institutional Investors, the Press, Customers, or Third Parties
The Board looks to Management to speak for the Corporation, but recognizes that individual directors
may sometimes communicate with third parties on matters affecting the Corporation. Before doing
so, to the extent feasible, directors are encouraged to consult with Management.
