Supporting statement
Supporting Statement Long term shareholders of Teledyne Technologies support transparency and accountability in corporate electoral spending. This includes any activity considered intervention in a political campaign under the Internal Revenue Code, such as direct and indirect contributions to political candidates, parties, or organizations, and independent expenditures or electioneering communications on behalf of federal, state, or local candidates. A company’s reputation, value, and bottom line can be adversely impacted by political spending. The risk is especially serious when giving to trade associations, Super PACs, 527 committees, and “social welfare” organizations — groups that routinely pass money to or spend on behalf of candidates and political causes that a company might not otherwise wish to support. A recent poll of retail shareholders by Mason Dixon Polling & Research found that 83% of respondents said they would have more confidence investing in corporations that have adopted reforms that provide for transparency and accountability in political spending. Teledyne Technologies scored only 00% out of 100% in the 2025 CPA Zicklin Index of Corporate Political Disclosure and Accountability: https://www.politicalaccountability.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2025-CPA-Zicklin-Index.pdf This proposal asks Teledyne Technologies to disclose all of its electoral spending, including payments to Trade Associations and 501(c)(4) social welfare organizations, which may be used for electoral purposes, and are otherwise undisclosed. Without knowing the recipients of our company’s political dollars Teledyne Technologies directors and shareholders cannot sufficiently assess whether our company’s election related spending aligns or conflicts with its policies on climate change, sustainability and other areas of concern.
