EXPLANATORY NOTE

On June 9, 2019, Raytheon, United Technologies Corporation, a Delaware corporation (UTC), and Light Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of UTC (Merger Sub), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement). The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions, the merger of Merger Sub with and into Raytheon (the Merger), with Raytheon surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of UTC. The Merger is targeted to close early in the second quarter of 2020, subject to and following completion by UTC of the separations and distributions of its Otis and Carrier businesses.

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this Amendment) amends the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 12, 2020 (the Original Filing).

This Amendment is being filed solely for the purposes of (1) providing the information required in Part III of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 because a definitive proxy statement containing such information will not be filed within 120 days after the end of such fiscal year should the Merger be completed as expected and (2) updating the information required in Item IA of Part I with respect to the developing risks associated with the recent outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus. In addition, in accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), Item 15 of Part IV of the Original Filing is being amended and restated solely to include as exhibits new certifications by the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer.

Except as described above, this Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the date of the Original Filing and does not modify or update disclosures contained in the Original Filing, including, without limitation, the financial statements. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and with the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Company’s internet website and the information contained therein or connected thereto are not incorporated into this Amendment or the Original Filing.

PART I

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
 
The risk factors have been amended for the purpose of addressing developing risks associated with the recent outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus, which surfaced in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and has continued to spread throughout other regions of the world, including, among others, North America, Europe and the Middle East.

This Form 10-K and the information we are incorporating by reference contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws, including information regarding our financial outlook, future plans, objectives, business prospects, products and services, trends and anticipated financial performance including with respect to: the timing and expected completion and impact of the proposed merger with United Technologies Corporation (UTC); our revenue; our liquidity and capital resources; our bookings and backlog; our international sales, including our ability to do business in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and future delays in the Congressional Notification process and/or other potential challenges related to sales to certain foreign customers; cybersecurity sales; our pension, other postretirement benefit (PRB), nonqualified defined benefit and defined contribution plans expense and funding; our recognition of revenue on certain performance obligations; our expectations regarding customer demand and contracts; seasonality of our business; our capital expenditures; our amortization expense; the impact of new accounting pronouncements and tax regulations; our expected tax payments; our unrecognized tax benefits; our reclassifications of gains or losses on cash flow hedges; the impact of acquisitions, investments and other business arrangements and the tax deductibility of goodwill; the impact and outcome of audits and legal and administrative proceedings, claims, investigations, commitments and contingencies; the impact of certain regional developments; delays and disruptions in delivery of materials and services from suppliers; the impact of changes in fair value of our reporting units; delays and disruption in delivery of materials and services from Turkish suppliers; the impact of changes in foreign currency rates; the impact of Brexit; the impact of competition; growth in our cyber business; as well as information regarding domestic and international defense spending, budgets and business practices. You can identify these statements by the fact that they include words such as “will,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” or variations of these words, or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are not statements of historical facts and represent only our current expectations regarding such matters. These statements inherently involve a wide range of known and unknown uncertainties. Our actual actions and results could differ materially from what is expressed or implied by these statements. Specific factors that could cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those set forth below and other important factors disclosed previously and from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Given these factors, as well as other variables that may affect our operating results, you should not rely on forward-looking statements, assume that past financial performance will be a reliable indicator of future performance, or use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. We expressly disclaim any obligation or intention to provide updates to the forward-looking statements and the estimates and assumptions associated with them, except as required by law.

We depend on the U.S. government for a substantial portion of our business, and changes in U.S. government defense spending and priorities could impact our financial position, results of operations and overall business.

In 2019, U.S. government sales, excluding foreign military sales, accounted for approximately 69% of our total net sales. Our U.S. government revenues largely result from contracts awarded under various U.S. government programs, primarily defense-related programs with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), and a broad range of programs with the U.S. Intelligence Community and other departments and agencies. Our programs are subject to U.S. government policies, budget decisions and appropriation processes which are driven by numerous factors including: (1) geopolitical events; (2) macroeconomic conditions; and (3) the ability of the U.S. government to enact relevant legislation, such as appropriations bills.

In recent years, U.S. government appropriations have been affected by larger U.S. government budgetary issues and related legislation. The Budget Control Act of 2011 (BCA) established specific limits on annual appropriations for fiscal years (FY) 2012–2021, but was amended a number of times leading to fluctuations and unpredictability in annual DoD funding levels. As compared to the relevant preceding year, the DoD budget fell in FY 2013, remained essentially flat for FY 2014 and 2015, and increased each year from FY 2016 to 2020. BCA caps were raised for FY 2021 from their original level, and FY 2021 DoD funding is expected to be similar to FY 2020. Further, the DoD budget requires the agreement and action of both Congress and the President. In addition, in previous years the U.S. government has been unable to complete its budget process before the end of its fiscal year, resulting in both governmental shut-downs and Continuing Resolutions (CRs) providing only enough funds for U.S. government agencies to continue operating at prior year levels. Further, if the U.S. government debt ceiling is not raised and the national debt reaches the statutory debt ceiling, the U.S. government could default on its debts.


4


As a result, U.S. government defense spending levels are subject to a wide range of outcomes and are difficult to predict beyond the near-term due to numerous factors, including the external threat environment, future governmental priorities and the state of governmental finances. Significant changes in U.S. government defense spending or changes in U.S. government priorities, policies and requirements could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

Our financial results largely are dependent on our ability to perform on our U.S. government contracts, which are subject to uncertain levels of funding and timing, as well as termination. Our financial results could also be affected by performance delays, cost overruns, product failures, materials or components shortages, or definitization delays in connection with these contracts, as well as by the mix of our contracts and programs.

Our financial results largely are dependent on our performance under our U.S. government contracts. Although we have thousands of U.S. government contracts, the termination of one or more of our contracts, or the occurrence of performance delays, cost overruns, product failures, materials or components shortages, or contract definitization delays could negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

U.S. government contracts generally permit the government to terminate the contract, in whole or in part, without prior notice, at the U.S. government’s convenience or for default based on performance. If one of our contracts is terminated for convenience, we would generally be entitled to payments for our allowable costs and would receive some allowance for profit on the work performed. If one of our contracts is terminated for default, we would generally be entitled to payments for work accepted by the U.S. government. A termination arising out of our default could expose us to liability and have a negative impact on our ability to obtain future contracts and orders. In addition, we are a subcontractor and not the prime contractor on some contracts. In these arrangements, the U.S. government could terminate the prime contract for convenience or otherwise, without regard to our performance as a subcontractor. Further, we can give no assurance that we would be awarded new U.S. government contracts to offset the revenues lost as a result of the termination of any of our contracts.

The funding of U.S. government programs is subject to congressional appropriations, which are made on a fiscal year basis even for multi-year programs. Consequently, programs are often only partially funded initially and may not continue to be funded in future years. In addition, regular appropriation bills may be delayed, which may result in delays to funding, the collection of receivables and our contract performance due to lack of authorized funds to procure related products and services. Under certain circumstances, we may use our own funds to meet our customer’s desired delivery dates or other requirements but we may not be reimbursed. Further, if appropriations for one of our programs become unavailable, reduced or delayed, the U.S. government may terminate for convenience our contract or subcontract under that program.

Our U.S. government contracts typically involve the development, application and manufacture of advanced defense and technology systems and products aimed at achieving challenging goals. New technologies may be untested or unproven and in some instances, product requirements or specifications may be modified. As a result, we may experience technological and other performance difficulties, which may result in delays, setbacks, cost overruns or product failures and could divert our attention or resources from other projects. With the U.S. government’s greater focus on new technologies, such as interceptors, space-based sensors, high-energy lasers, hypersonics, and counter-hypersonics, we have more development programs. Our failure to execute effectively on these programs could impact our future sales opportunities. Additionally, in order to win certain U.S. government contracts, we may be required to invest in development prior to award as our customers demand more mature and proven solutions. These additional investment amounts may not be worthwhile if we are not chosen for new contract awards.

Our U.S. government contracts are typically either fixed-priced contracts or cost reimbursement contracts. Fixed-price contracts represent approximately 65% of our backlog, and are predominantly either firm fixed-price (FFP) contracts or fixed-price incentive (FPI) contracts. Under FFP contracts, we receive a fixed price irrespective of the actual costs we incur and we therefore carry the burden of any cost overruns. Under FPI contracts, we share with the U.S. government savings for cost underruns less than target costs and expenses for cost overruns exceeding target costs up to a negotiated cost ceiling. We carry the entire burden of cost overruns exceeding the cost ceiling amount under FPI contracts. Under cost reimbursable contracts, we are reimbursed for allowable costs and paid a fixed or performance-based fee, but we are generally not reimbursed for unauthorized costs exceeding a cost ceiling amount or costs not allowable under the contract or applicable regulations. Contracts for development programs with complex design and technical challenges are typically cost reimbursable, but can be FFP or FPI. In addition, other contracts in backlog are for the transition from development to production, which includes starting and stabilizing a manufacturing and test line while the final design is still being validated.


5


Over the past several years, the DoD has increased its use of Other Transaction Authority (OTA) contracts, under which it awards research and development work without all of the procurement requirements that typically apply to DoD contracts, including justification of sole source awards. OTAs may use fixed-price contracts during all phases of the contract, or mandated contract cost sharing (e.g., one-third of program costs). They may also require non-traditional subcontractor participation and impose other requirements that differ from our other DoD contracts. For example, we were awarded an OTA contract for the Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS) in late 2019. If we are unable to perform on our OTA contracts, including any applicable non-traditional requirements, it could negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

Due to the nature of our work under many of our U.S. government contracts, we may experience unforeseen technological difficulties and cost overruns. If we are unable to control costs or if our initial cost estimates are incorrect, our profitability could be negatively affected, particularly under fixed-price development contracts. We may also experience cost underruns which would reduce contract value and related expected revenues, and we may be unable to expand the contract scope or secure additional work to offset the resulting lost revenues. Some of our U.S. government contracts have provisions relating to cost controls and audit rights and if we fail to meet the terms specified in those contracts it could have a negative impact on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. Our contracts also require us to comply with extensive and evolving procurement rules and regulations, which are discussed in more detail below.

From time to time, we may begin performance under an undefinitized contract award with a not-to-exceed price prior to completing contract negotiations in order to support U.S. government priorities. Uncertainties in final contract price, specifications and terms, or loss of negotiating leverage associated with particularly long delays in contract definitization, may negatively affect our profitability.

In addition, we are involved in programs that are classified by the U.S. government which have security requirements that place limits on our ability to discuss our performance on these programs, including any risks, disputes and claims.

Our future success depends on our ability to develop new offerings and technologies for our current and future markets.

To continue achievement of our growth strategy, we must successfully develop new offerings and technologies or adapt existing offerings and technologies for our current and future markets including new international, civil, and commercial markets. Accordingly, our future performance depends on a number of factors, including our ability in current, emerging and future growth markets to:

Identify market needs and growth opportunities;
Identify emerging technological and other trends;
Identify additional uses for our existing technology to address customer needs;
Develop and maintain competitive products and services at competitive prices;
Enhance our offerings by adding innovative features that differentiate our offerings from those of our competitors;
Develop, manufacture and bring solutions to market quickly at cost-effective prices;
Enhance product designs for export and releasability to international markets; and
Effectively structure our businesses to reflect the competitive environment including through the use of joint ventures, collaborative agreements and other forms of alliances.

We believe that in order to remain competitive in the future, we will need to continue to invest significant financial resources to develop new, and adapt existing, offerings and technologies. We fund this investment through customer funded and internal research and development, acquisitions and joint ventures or other teaming arrangements. We believe this investment is needed to meet demands and expand in our domestic and international markets, including emerging opportunities within the DoD market and the commercial cybersecurity market in which our Forcepoint business segment competes. Our investments to develop new offerings and technologies, or adapt existing offerings and technologies, could divert our attention and resources from other projects. In addition, we cannot be sure that these investments will ultimately lead to the timely development of new offerings and technologies or identification of and expansion into new or growth markets.


6


Due to the design complexity of our products, we may experience future delays in completing the development and introduction of new products. Any delays could result in increased costs of development or deflect resources from other projects. These risks are heightened by recent increases in new development programs. Further, our competitors may develop competing technologies which gain market acceptance in advance of our products. In addition, there can be no assurance that: (1) the market for our offerings will develop or continue to expand; (2) we will be successful in newly identified markets as we currently anticipate; or (3) the acquisitions, joint ventures or other teaming arrangements we may enter into in pursuit of developing new offerings and technologies will be successful. The failure of our technology to gain market acceptance could significantly reduce our revenues and harm our business.

Our existing technology and offerings may become obsolete due to new competitive technology or offerings. If we fail in our new product development efforts or our products or services fail to achieve market acceptance faster than our competitors, our ability to procure new contracts could be negatively impacted, which would negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

Competition within our markets may reduce our revenues and market share and limit our future market opportunities.

We operate in highly competitive markets and our competitors may have more extensive or more specialized engineering, manufacturing and marketing capabilities than we do. We anticipate companies continuing to enhance their competitive position against us in our core markets as a result of continued domestic and cross-border defense industry consolidation and the expansion of competitors’ capabilities throughout the supply chain through vertical integration. We are also facing heightened competition in our domestic and international markets from foreign and multinational firms. In addition, as discussed in more detail above, U.S. defense spending and U.S. government procurement strategies may limit our future market opportunities. For example, the DoD continues to award contracts through competitive bidding. Highly competitive pricing, in which a bidder may anticipate making a substantial investment in a program in order to win the work, has been seen in certain cases. In addition, bid protests from unsuccessful bidders on new program awards are more frequent. Generally, a bid protest will delay the start of contract activities, delay earnings, and could result in the award decision being overturned and require a re-bid of the contract. Additionally, some customers, including the DoD, are increasingly turning to commercial contractors, rather than traditional defense contractors, for information technology and other support work.

In addition, the U.S. government has been awarding more development programs due to changing U.S. government priorities. If we are unable to continue to compete successfully against our current or future competitors in our core markets, we may experience declines in revenues and market share which could negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

In addition, our Forcepoint cybersecurity business segment faces significant competition due to rapid changes in technology, products, customer specifications and industry standards. It also has a wide range of market competitors, some that are significantly larger with broader product and service offerings or have best-of-breed products and/or maintain stronger customer relationships. In order to compete effectively, Forcepoint must successfully execute on its growth strategy, including the development of new products and services. If Forcepoint is unable to compete successfully, it may divert financial and management resources that would otherwise benefit our other operations.

As a U.S. government contractor, we are subject to extensive procurement rules and regulations. Changes in rules, regulations and business practices could negatively affect current programs and potential awards. Our business could be negatively affected if we fail to comply with any procurement rules and regulations.

As a U.S. government contractor, we must comply with specific procurement regulations and other requirements including: (1) export-import control; (2) security; (3) contract pricing and cost; (4) contract termination and adjustment; and (5) audit and product integrity requirements. These requirements impact our performance and compliance costs. In addition, the U.S. government has and may continue to implement initiatives focused on efficiencies, affordability and cost growth and other changes to its procurement practices which may negatively affect our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. This could also affect whether we pursue certain opportunities and the terms under which we are able to pursue them.

For example, in recent years the DoD has increasingly included contractual payment and cost reimbursement terms such as incentive-based contracts that require contractors to share cost overruns and underruns with the U.S. government.

In addition, failure to comply with procurement regulations and requirements could result in: (1) reductions in contract value; (2) contract modifications or termination; (3) cash withholds on contract payments; (4) forfeiture of profits; and (5) the assessment of civil and criminal penalties and fines. Any of these could negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. Our failure to comply with these regulations and requirements could also lead to suspension or debarment, for cause, from U.S. government contracting or subcontracting for a period of time. Among the causes for debarment are violations of various statutes, including those related to: (1) procurement integrity; (2) export control; (3) U.S. government security regulations; (4) employment practices; (5) protection of the environment; (6) accuracy of records and the recording of costs; and (7) foreign corruption. Penalties or sanctions resulting from any failure to comply with applicable requirements could have a negative impact on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. This could also have a negative impact on our reputation, lead to contract terminations and reduce our ability to procure other U.S. government contracts in the future.

Issues with component availability, subcontractor performance or key supplier performance may affect our ability to manufacture and deliver our products and services.
 
We depend on our suppliers delivering materials, and on our subcontractors assembling major components and subsystems for our products in a timely and satisfactory manner and in full compliance with applicable terms and conditions. We are subject to specific procurement requirements that limit the types of materials we use which may limit the suppliers and subcontractors we may utilize. These procurement rules include requirements for genuine original equipment manufacturer parts. As we continue to seek further cost efficiencies throughout our business, we may centralize procurements in order to attain better pricing through strategic sourcing, which may increase our dependency on certain suppliers. In some instances, we are dependent on sole-source suppliers. In recent years, our supplier pool has become further limited in some areas due to consolidation and supplier business closures.

In addition, our suppliers may experience materials or components shortages. In recent times, the industry has experienced shortages of certain microelectronic components. Tariffs currently imposed on certain materials and other trade issues may create or exacerbate existing materials shortages and drive-up material prices. These developments may also result in further supplier business closures. Some products require relatively scarce raw materials, including some which are largely controlled by a single country, and the ability to source those materials is dependent on U.S. relations with the country. Materials or components sourced from a particular country may become subject to sanctions or other bans imposed by the United States or other countries. In addition, some of our suppliers or subcontractors may be susceptible to changes in global economic conditions that could impair their ability to meet their obligations to us.

If certain component materials are not available or if any of our suppliers or subcontractors otherwise fails to meet our needs or becomes insolvent, we may not have readily available alternatives or alternatives at prices that meet the demands of our customers. We enter into long-term or volume purchase agreements with certain suppliers and take other actions, such as accelerating supplier payments commensurate with value delivered, to ensure the financial viability of our suppliers and the availability of needed materials, components and subsystems. However, we cannot be sure that such items will be available at all or in the needed quantities. In addition, we require our suppliers to deliver components and services that are free from viruses and malicious code that may damage or destroy such components and interrupt such services, and include in our contracts with our suppliers the DoD requirements mandating the reporting of breaches to information technology systems containing critical government information. If we experience a material supplier or subcontractor problem, it could negatively impact our ability to satisfactorily and timely complete our customer obligations. This could result in reduced sales, termination of contracts and damage to our reputation and relationships with our customers. We could also incur additional costs in addressing this type of problem. Any of these events could have a negative impact on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. In addition, we must conduct diligence and provide disclosure regarding the use of certain minerals, known as conflict minerals, which may impact our procurement practices and increase our costs.

Our international business is subject to geopolitical and economic factors, regulatory requirements and other risks.

Our international business exposes us to geopolitical and economic factors, regulatory requirements, increasing competition and other risks associated with doing business in foreign countries, including those related to tariffs and trade barriers. These risks differ from and may be greater than those associated with our domestic business. In 2019, our sales to customers outside the U.S. (including foreign military sales through the U.S. government) accounted for 29% of our total net sales. Our exposure to such risks may increase if our international business continues to grow as we anticipate. Any significant impairment of our ability to conduct business outside of the U.S. could negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
 

8


Our international business is sensitive to changes in the priorities and budgets of international customers, which may be driven by: (1) changes in threat environments; (2) geopolitical uncertainties; (3) volatility in worldwide economic conditions; and (4) various regional and local economic and political factors, including volatility in energy prices, changes in U.S. foreign policy, changes in existing free trade laws and regulations and other risks and uncertainties. Our international sales are subject to U.S. laws, regulations and policies, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and other anti-corruption, sanctions, and export laws and regulations. Any failure by us or others working on our behalf to comply with these laws and regulations could result in criminal, civil or administrative penalties including fines, suspension or debarment from government contracts or suspension of our ability to export our products.

In addition, due to the nature of our products, we must obtain licenses and authorizations from various U.S. government agencies before selling our products outside of the U.S. Our ability to obtain these licenses and authorizations timely or at all is subject to risks and uncertainties, including changing U.S. government policies or laws or delays in Congressional action due to geopolitical and other factors. Some of our direct commercial sale contracts with international customers have requirements relating to these licenses and authorizations and may permit the customer to terminate the contract if we fail to receive these approvals in a timely manner. If we are not successful in obtaining or maintaining the necessary licenses or authorizations in a timely manner, our sales relating to those approvals may be reversed, prevented or delayed. In the recent past, we had several direct commercial sales contracts for precision guided munitions with certain Middle Eastern customers for which U.S. government approvals had been delayed until the Administration directly approved these sales. At December 31, 2019, we had pending $1.2 billion of total contract value of these contracts that require U.S. government approvals. Additionally, one of those contracts, which has a contract value of $835 million, also requires U.K. government approval. In addition, new sales to these customers may face similar delays and/or potential challenges given the geopolitical issues.

Certain events have caused increased attention on U.S. defense sales to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Although we currently do not expect to be prevented from doing business in KSA, which represents less than 5% of our sales, if government action impairs our ability to fulfill our contractual obligations or otherwise to continue to do business in KSA, it would have a material adverse effect on our financial results.
Our international sales are also subject to local government laws, regulations, and procurement policies and practices which may differ from U.S. government requirements. These include regulations relating to export-import control, technology transfer, investments, exchange controls and repatriation of earnings. Further, our international sales contracts may be subject to non-U.S. contract laws and regulations and include contractual terms that differ from those of similar contracts in the U.S. or that may be interpreted differently under foreign laws. Delays, cost overruns and product failures, or technological or other difficulties could also affect our ability to perform on our international contracts and negatively affect our profitability. In addition, these contracts may be subject to termination for default based on performance or failure to obtain U.S. government export approvals. These contracts may also be subject to termination at the customer’s convenience, and may be subject to funding risks. In connection with our international business, we also operate subsidiaries domiciled in non-U.S. locations that are subject to local government laws and regulations which may differ from U.S. government requirements. In addition, the timing of orders, customer negotiations, governmental approvals and notifications from our international customers can be less predictable than from our domestic customers. This may lead to variations in international bookings and sales each year.

We must also manage a certain degree of exposure to the risk of currency fluctuations. Our international sales in functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar were approximately $1.4 billion in both 2019 and 2018 and $1.3 billion in 2017, the majority of which were in British pounds and Australian dollars with the remainder primarily in euros and Canadian dollars. See “Note 16: Business Segment Reporting” within Item 8 of our Form 10-K for total net sales and property, plant and equipment by geographical area.

Our international business faces substantial competition from both U.S. companies and foreign companies. In some instances, foreign companies may be owned by foreign governments or may receive loans, marketing subsidies and other assistance from their governments that may not be available to U.S. companies. In addition, foreign companies may be subject to fewer restrictions on technology transfer than U.S. companies.


9


Our international contracts may include industrial cooperation agreements requiring specific local purchases, manufacturing agreements, technology transfer agreements or financial support obligations, sometimes in the form of either offset obligations or in-country industrial participation (ICIP) agreements. Approvals of offset or ICIP thresholds and requirements may be subjective and time-consuming and may delay contract awards. Offset requirements may, in certain countries, include the creation of a joint venture with a local company which may control the venture. This could result in liability for violations of law for actions taken by these entities, including laws related to anti-corruption, sanctions, export, or local laws which may differ from U.S. laws and requirements. In addition, the ability to recover investments that we make may be dependent upon the success of ventures that we do not control. Such offset obligations are generally multi-year arrangements and may provide for penalties in the event we fail to perform in accordance with the offset requirements. In addition, certain customers’ demands are increasing for greater offset or ICIP commitment levels, higher-value content, including the transfer of technologies and capabilities, and local production and economic development. We also are exposed to risks associated with using third-party foreign representatives and consultants for international sales, and teaming with international subcontractors, partners and suppliers in connection with international programs. As a result of the above factors, we could experience financial penalties and award and funding delays on international programs, our profitability on these programs could be negatively affected, and we could incur losses on these programs which could negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

We depend on the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel, and our failure to attract, train and retain such personnel and to maintain our corporate culture and high ethical standards could seriously harm our business.

Due to the specialized nature of our business, our future performance is highly dependent upon the continued services of our key technical personnel and executive officers, the development of additional management personnel and the hiring of new qualified technical, manufacturing, marketing, sales and management personnel for our operations. Our continued growth increases the need for qualified personnel. Competition for personnel is intense and we may not be successful in attracting, training or retaining qualified personnel with the requisite skills or security clearances. In addition, certain personnel may be required to receive various security clearances and substantial training in order to work on certain programs or perform certain tasks. Necessary security clearances may be delayed, which may impact our ability to perform on our U.S. government contracts. Further, a significant percentage of our current workforce is nearing or eligible for retirement. To the extent that we lose experienced personnel, it is critical that we develop other employees, hire new qualified personnel and successfully manage the transfer of critical knowledge. We face competition in attracting new qualified personnel, especially in a low unemployment environment. In addition, new qualified personnel may have different expectations from our current workforce, which could result in difficulties attracting and retaining new employees. Loss of key employees, failure to attract new qualified employees or adequately train them, delays in receiving required security clearances, or delays in hiring key personnel could seriously harm our business.

We believe that a critical component of our ability to successfully attract, train and retain qualified personnel has been our corporate culture, which we believe fosters innovation, collaboration and a focus on execution, all in an environment of high ethical standards. Our global operations may present challenges in maintaining these important aspects of our corporate culture. Any failure to maintain our corporate culture could negatively impact our ability to attract, train and retain essential qualified personnel who are vital to our business. Further, we rely on our key personnel to lead with integrity and to meet our high ethical standards. To the extent any of our leaders were to behave in a way that is inconsistent with our values, we could experience a materially adverse impact to our reputation and our operating results.

Our business could be negatively impacted by cyber attacks, other security breaches and other threats to our physical security and personnel.

We routinely experience cyber and other security threats including: threats to our information technology infrastructure, attempts to gain access to our proprietary, sensitive or classified information, and attempts to infiltrate our products and services and sabotage or disable their use by our customers. We also encounter threats to our physical security, including our facilities and personnel, and threats from terrorism or similar acts. In addition, our business could be disrupted by natural disasters, including the impacts of climate change, or by global medical epidemics or pandemics.


10


As a defense contractor that protects national security information, we are the target of advanced and persistent cyber attacks from a variety of assailants, including nation states, in addition to attacks similar to those encountered in other industries. Our customers, suppliers, subcontractors and other third parties with whom we do business routinely experience similar security threats. Cybersecurity threats include, but are not limited to, malicious software, attempts to access information, online extortion attempts, disruption or denial of service attacks, insider threat attacks, and other cybersecurity events that could lead to disruptions of our systems or unauthorized access to our data. Our information technology networks and related systems are critical to the operation of our business and essential to our ability to successfully perform day-to-day operations. In addition, in some cases we must rely on the safeguards put in place by our customers, suppliers, subcontractors and other third parties to protect against and report cyber threats. Cyber attacks could lead to disruptions in mission critical systems, unauthorized release of confidential, personal, other protected information (which may belong to us, our employees, or third parties) or national security information, and corruption of data, networks or systems. We believe we have implemented appropriate measures and controls and have invested in significant resources to appropriately identify and monitor these threats and mitigate potential risks, including risks involving our customers and suppliers. However, due to their persistence, sophistication and volume, we may not be successful in preventing or defending against all cyber attacks and preventing or mitigating associated losses. In addition, because cybersecurity and related data privacy and protection laws and regulations are evolving and present increasing compliance challenges, our compliance costs could increase.

In addition, we provide cybersecurity, defense and other products and services to government and commercial customers, as well as products in which cybersecurity capabilities are embedded. As a result, these products and services are subject to attacks targeting their security, integrity and/or availability. Our cybersecurity products and services ultimately may not be able to effectively detect, prevent, or protect against cyber attacks or otherwise mitigate customer losses and other potential consequences of these attacks. In addition, some products and services that we provide to customers, particularly those related to public security, may raise potential liabilities related to privacy and intellectual property.

The impact of a future cyber incident cannot be predicted, particularly because these threats evolve quickly, their seriousness and scale vary widely, and national security information or other sensitive government functions may be involved. The impact of other business disruptions, such as those related to our physical security or resulting from natural disasters, medical epidemics or pandemics such as the recent coronavirus pandemic, or other events, is also difficult to predict. Further, our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all related costs and we may not otherwise be fully indemnified for them. We maintain internal controls and procedures on cybersecurity incident prevention, detection, mitigation, response, recovery and disclosure. However, we may be unsuccessful in detecting, reporting or responding to these events adequately in a timely manner. Cyber attacks, security breaches, medical epidemics or pandemics such as the recent coronavirus pandemic, and other events could disrupt our operations, or the operations of our customers, suppliers, subcontractors and other third parties, and cause harm to facilities or personnel. They could require significant management attention and resources and could result in the loss of business, regulatory actions and potential liability. They could also negatively impact our reputation among our customers and the public. Any one of these outcomes could have a negative impact on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

The coronavirus outbreak may negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition, and has negatively affected our and UTC’s stock price. The exchange ratio for the Merger is fixed and will not be adjusted for any declines in our or UTC’s stock prices.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. In January 2020, the coronavirus began to spread to other regions of the world, including, among others, North America, Europe and the Middle East, and, in March 2020, was categorized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Efforts to contain the spread of this coronavirus have intensified and include travel restrictions, facilities closures and extended shutdown of businesses. The outbreak and preventative or protective actions that governments, corporations, individuals or we may take to contain the virus may result in a period of reduced operations and business disruption for us and our suppliers, subcontractors, customers and other third parties with which we do business. The effects of the outbreak and related actions, including if significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively due to facilities closures, illness, quarantines, government actions or other restrictions, may therefore hinder or delay our production capabilities and otherwise impede our ability to perform on our obligations to our customers, and may also result in increased costs to us. The outbreak and related actions may also prevent our suppliers or subcontractors from meeting their obligations to us, which could also contribute to performance delays on our customer obligations and increase our costs. Any costs associated with the coronavirus outbreak may not be fully recoverable or adequately covered by insurance. The outbreak and related actions may also result in reduced customer demand or limit the ability of customers to perform, including in making timely payments to us. UTC’s business and results may also be negatively impacted. Any of these factors, depending on the severity and duration of the outbreak and its effects, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.


11


In addition, the coronavirus outbreak and resulting actions have negatively affected, and may continue to negatively affect, Raytheon’s and UTC’s stock prices, energy prices and the financial markets generally. Raytheon’s and UTC’s stock prices may also be adversely affected by the perception that the impact of the coronavirus may be more severe on the combined operations of UTC and Raytheon due to the combined business’ significant aerospace operations. The exchange ratio for the expected Merger is fixed and will not be adjusted despite these recent stock price declines, as discussed in more detail in the Risk Factor entitled “The exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted in the event of any change in either UTC’s or Raytheon’s stock price; there is no (and will not be until the completion of the Distributions) trading history with respect to the shares of the UTC aerospace businesses on a standalone basis after giving effect to the Separation and the Distributions” in this Item IA below. These factors may also negatively impact the stock price of the combined company.

The financial impact of these factors cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but may materially affect Raytheon’s and UTC’s business, financial condition and results of operations, and the business, financial condition and results of operations of the combined company. The extent to which coronavirus impacts Raytheon’s and UTC’s businesses, results and stock prices, or those of the combined company, depends on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity and duration of the coronavirus and actions to contain its spread or treat its impact, among others.

Our business could be adversely affected by a negative audit or investigatory finding by the U.S. government.

We are subject to audits and investigations by U.S. government agencies including the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), the Inspectors General of the DoD and other departments and agencies, the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Congressional Committees, in large part because we are a government contractor. From time to time, these and other agencies conduct investigations or audits to determine whether our operations are in compliance with applicable requirements. The DCAA and DCMA also review the adequacy of and our compliance with our internal control systems and policies, including our accounting, purchasing, property, estimating, earned value management and material management accounting systems. Our final allowable incurred costs for each year are subject to audit and have from time to time resulted in disputes between us and the U.S. government. In some cases, the DOJ has convened grand juries to investigate possible irregularities in our costs. Any costs found to be improperly allocated to a specific contract will not be reimbursed or must be refunded if already reimbursed. An adverse outcome of any audit or investigation could result in civil and criminal penalties and fines which could negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. In addition, if allegations of impropriety were made against us, we could suffer serious reputational harm which could negatively affect our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

We use estimates in accounting for many of our programs, and changes in our estimates could adversely affect our future financial results.

Accounting for long-term contracts requires estimates and judgments related to our progress toward completion. Significant judgments include potential risks associated with the ability and cost to achieve program schedule, including customer-directed delays or reductions in scheduled deliveries, and technical and other specific contract requirements. Due to the size and long-term nature of many of our contracts, the estimation of total revenues and cost at completion is complicated and subject to many variables. Management must make assumptions and estimates regarding contract revenue and cost (including estimates of award fees and penalties), including with respect to: (1) labor productivity and availability; (2) the complexity of the work to be performed; (3) the availability of materials; (4) the length of time to complete the performance obligation; (5) execution by our subcontractors; (6) the availability and timing of funding from our customer; and (7) overhead cost rates, among other variables. Because of the significance of management’s judgments and estimation processes described above, it is likely that materially different amounts could be recorded if we used different assumptions or if the underlying circumstances were to change. Changes in underlying assumptions, circumstances or estimates may adversely affect our future results of operations and financial condition.

For a detailed discussion of how our financial statements can be affected by contract accounting policies, see “Critical Accounting Estimates” within Item 7 of our Form 10-K.


12


Significant changes in key estimates and assumptions, such as discount rates and assumed long-term return on plan assets (ROA), as well as our actual investment returns on our pension plan assets and other actuarial factors, could affect our earnings, equity and pension contributions in future periods.

We must determine our pension and PRB plans’ expense or income which involves significant judgment, particularly with respect to our discount rate, long-term ROA and other actuarial assumptions. The discount rate assumption is set annually and we determine on an annual basis whether it is appropriate to change our long-term ROA assumption. These assumptions and other actuarial assumptions may change significantly due to changes in economic, legislative, and/or demographic experience or circumstances. Changes in our assumptions could result in negative changes to our pension and PRB plans’ expense and funded status, and our cash contributions to such plans, which would negatively impact our results of operations. In addition, differences between our actual investment returns and our long-term ROA assumption would result in a change to our pension and PRB plans’ expense and funded status and our required contributions to the plans. They may also be impacted by changes in regulatory, accounting and other requirements applicable to pensions.
 
For a detailed discussion of how our financial statements can be affected by pension and PRB plan accounting policies, see “Critical Accounting Estimates” within Item 7 of our Form 10-K.
 
If we fail to manage our acquisitions, investments, divestitures, joint ventures and other transactions successfully, these activities could adversely affect our future financial results.
 
In pursuing our business strategies, we continually review, evaluate and consider potential investments, acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures and other teaming and collaborative arrangements. We undertake to identify opportunities that will complement our existing products and services or customer base, as well as expand our offerings and market reach into new areas that naturally extend from our core capabilities. In evaluating such transactions, we are required to make difficult judgments regarding the value of business opportunities, technologies and other assets, and the risks and cost of potential liabilities. Further, these transactions involve certain other risks and uncertainties including: (1) the risks involved with entering new markets; (2) the difficulty in integrating newly-acquired businesses and managing or monitoring other collaborative business arrangements; (3) challenges and failures in achieving strategic objectives and other expected benefits which may result in certain liabilities to us for guarantees and other commitments; (4) unidentified issues not discovered in Raytheon’s due diligence; (5) the diversion of our attention and resources from our operations and other initiatives; (6) the potential impairment of acquired assets; (7) the performance of underlying products, capabilities or technologies; and (8) the potential loss of key employees and customers of acquired businesses. In addition, future transactions may impact our deployment of capital, including dividends, stock repurchases, pension contributions, and investments.
  
Goodwill and other intangible assets represent a significant portion of our assets, and any impairment of these assets could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.

At December 31, 2019, we had goodwill and other intangible assets of approximately $15.4 billion which represented 45% of our total assets. Our goodwill is subject to an impairment test annually and is also tested whenever events and circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. In the event of an impairment any excess goodwill must be written off in the period of determination. Intangible assets (other than goodwill) are generally amortized over the useful life of such assets. In addition, from time to time, we may acquire or make an investment in a business which will require us to record goodwill and intangible assets based on the purchase price and the value of the acquired assets. We may subsequently experience unforeseen events that could adversely affect the value of our goodwill or intangible assets and trigger an impairment evaluation. Future determinations of significant impairments of goodwill or intangible assets as a result of an impairment test or any accelerated amortization of other intangible assets could have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

For a detailed discussion of how our financial statements can be affected by goodwill accounting policies, see “Critical Accounting Estimates” within Item 7 of our Form 10-K.

The outcome of litigation in which we have been named, or may in the future be named, as a defendant is unpredictable, and an adverse decision in any such matter could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

We are the defendant in a number of litigation matters and are subject to various other claims, demands and investigations. In addition, we may be subject to future litigation matters, claims, demands and investigations. These matters may divert financial and management resources that would otherwise be used to benefit our operations. No assurances can be given that the results of these matters will be favorable to us. An adverse resolution or outcome of any of these lawsuits, claims, demands or investigations could have a negative impact on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

13


We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property rights or obtain certain rights in third party intellectual property on reasonable terms, which could affect our ability to compete.
 
Our efforts to gain awards of contracts and ensure a competitive position in the market depends in part on our ability to ensure that our intellectual property is protected, that our intellectual property rights are not diluted or subject to misuse, and that we are able to license certain third party intellectual property on reasonable terms. We own many U.S. and foreign patents and patent applications, and have rights in unpatented inventions, know-how, data, software, trademarks and copyrights. The U.S. government and foreign governments have licenses under certain of our intellectual property, including certain patents, which are developed or used in performance of government contracts. Governments may use or authorize others (including our competitors) to use such patents and intellectual property for government and other purposes. Governments may challenge the sufficiency of intellectual property rights we have granted in government contracts and attempt to obtain greater rights, which could reduce our ability to protect our intellectual property rights and to compete. There can be no assurance that any of our patents and other intellectual property will not be challenged, invalidated, misappropriated or circumvented by third parties. In addition, the laws concerning intellectual property vary among nations and the protection provided to our intellectual property by the laws and courts of foreign nations may differ from those of the U.S. Further, litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights can be costly, and even if successful, can distract our attention from other areas of our business. All of the above could diminish the value of our intellectual property, affecting our ability to procure future business or maximize the use of our intellectual property to increase our revenue.

In some instances, we have augmented our technology base by licensing the proprietary intellectual property of others. Intellectual property obtained from third parties is also subject to challenge, invalidation, misappropriation or circumvention by third parties. In addition, we may not be able to obtain necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms. In other instances, our ability to procure and perform government contracts requires us to obtain certain rights in the intellectual property of others through government grants. Governments may deny us the right to obtain such rights in the intellectual property of others which may affect our ability to perform government contracts.

The confidentiality and intellectual property assignment agreements we enter into with our employees and non-disclosure obligations and agreements we enter into with our suppliers, consultants and appropriate customers may not adequately protect our proprietary information, deter misappropriation and misuse of our proprietary information, or prevent third-party development of similar technologies, all of which may negatively impact our ability to compete. We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, use our intellectual property for a competitive advantage, or continue to access licensed intellectual property of third parties, any of which could have a negative impact on our ability to win and perform on contracts, our reputation, and our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

Our operations expose us to the risk of material environmental liabilities.

We use hazardous substances and generate hazardous wastes in our operations. As a result, we are subject to potentially material liabilities related to personal injuries or property damage that may be caused by hazardous substance releases and exposures. For example, we are investigating and remediating contamination related to past practices at a number of properties and, in some cases, have in the past been named as a defendant in related “toxic tort” claims.

We are also subject to laws and regulations that: (1) impose requirements for the proper management, treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes; (2) restrict air and water emissions from our operations (including U.S. government-owned facilities we manage); and (3) require maintenance of a safe workplace. These laws and regulations can lead to substantial fines and criminal sanctions for violations, and may require the installation of costly equipment or operational changes to limit pollution emissions, decrease the likelihood of accidental hazardous substance releases and/or reduce the risks of injury to people. We incur, and expect to continue to incur, capital and other expenditures to comply with these laws and regulations.

A criminal violation of certain U.S. environmental statutes such as the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act could result in suspension, debarment or disqualification by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). A facility determined to be in violation of the criminal provisions of these statutes can be prohibited from performing any U.S. government contract work until the violation has been corrected and the EPA approves the reinstatement of the facility.

In addition, new laws, regulations, or governmental policies, sudden changes in the interpretation and enforcement of existing laws and regulations, the discovery of previously unknown contamination, or the imposition of new clean-up standards could require us to incur additional costs in the future that would have a negative effect on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.


14


We face certain significant risk exposures and potential liabilities that may not be adequately covered by indemnity or insurance.

A significant portion of our business relates to designing, developing and manufacturing advanced defense and technology systems and products. New technologies may be untested or unproven. In addition, we may incur significant liabilities that are unique to our products and services. In some, but not all, circumstances, we may be entitled to indemnification from our customers through contractual provisions, and we may obtain limitations of liability and additional defenses for various reasons including the qualification of our products and services by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under the SAFETY Act provisions of the Homeland Security Act of 2002. The amount of the insurance coverage we maintain or indemnification to which we may be contractually or otherwise entitled may not be adequate to cover all claims or liabilities. Accordingly, we may be forced to bear substantial costs resulting from risks and uncertainties of our business which would negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. Any accident, failure of, or defect in our products and services, even if fully indemnified or insured, could negatively affect our reputation among our customers and the public, and make it more difficult for us to compete effectively. It could also affect the cost and availability of available insurance in the future.
 
Unanticipated changes in our tax provisions or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could affect our profitability.

We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and many foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. In the ordinary course of our business, there are transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Further, changes in domestic or foreign income tax laws and regulations, or their interpretation, could result in higher or lower income tax rates assessed or changes in the taxability of certain sales or the deductibility of certain expenses, thereby affecting our income tax expense and profitability. In addition, we are regularly under audit by tax authorities. The final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could be materially different from our historical income tax provisions and accruals. Additionally, changes in the geographic mix of our sales could impact our tax liabilities and affect our income tax expense and profitability.

Risks Related to the Proposed Merger with UTC

The Merger is subject to conditions, some or all of which may not be satisfied, or completed on a timely basis, if at all. Failure to complete the Merger could have material adverse effects on Raytheon.

The completion of the Merger is subject to a number of conditions, including, among other things, the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, the receipt of an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) private letter ruling regarding certain tax matters and certain tax-related opinions and solvency opinions from outside legal counsel, the completion by UTC of the Separation and the Distributions, and a certain amount of net indebtedness of UTC following the Separation and the Distributions (UTC RemainCo), which make the completion and timing of the Merger uncertain.

The failure to satisfy all of the required conditions could delay the completion of the Merger for a significant period of time or prevent it from occurring at all. There can be no assurance that the conditions to the completion of the Merger will be satisfied or waived or that the Merger will be completed.

If the Merger is not completed, Raytheon may be materially adversely affected and, without realizing any of the benefits of having completed the Merger, will be subject to a number of risks, including the following:

the market price of Raytheon common stock could decline;
Raytheon could owe a substantial termination fee to UTC in specified circumstances;
if the Merger Agreement is terminated and the Raytheon Board of Directors seeks another business combination, Raytheon stockholders cannot be certain that Raytheon will be able to find a party willing to enter into a transaction on terms equivalent to or more attractive than the terms that UTC has agreed to in the Merger Agreement;
time and resources, financial and other, committed by Raytheon’s management to matters relating to the Merger could otherwise have been devoted to pursuing other beneficial opportunities;
Raytheon may experience negative reactions from the financial markets or from its customers, suppliers or employees; and
Raytheon will be required to pay its costs relating to the Merger, such as legal, accounting, financial advisory and printing fees, whether or not the Merger is completed.

In addition, if the Merger is not completed, Raytheon could be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the Merger or related to any enforcement proceeding commenced against Raytheon to perform its obligations under the Merger Agreement. Any of these risks could materially and adversely impact Raytheon’s ongoing business, financial condition, financial results and stock price.

15


Similarly, delays in the completion of the Merger could, among other things, result in additional transaction costs, loss of revenue or other negative effects associated with delay and uncertainty about completion of the Merger, and could materially and adversely impact the ongoing business, financial condition, financial results and stock price of Raytheon prior to the Merger and UTC following completion of the Merger (the Combined Company).

The Merger is subject to the expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods and the receipt of approvals, consents or clearances from several regulatory authorities that may impose conditions that could have an adverse effect on Raytheon or the Combined Company or, if not obtained, could prevent completion of the Merger.

Before the Merger may be completed, any applicable waiting period (and any extension thereof) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (HSR Act) relating to the completion of the Merger must have expired or been terminated and any authorization or consent from a governmental authority required to be obtained with respect to the Merger under certain other applicable foreign regulatory laws must have been obtained. In deciding whether to grant the required regulatory authorization or consent, the relevant governmental entities will consider the effect of the Merger within their relevant jurisdiction, including, among other things, the impact on the parties’ respective customers and suppliers and the applicable defense ministry and the impact of the parties’ foreign investment in the jurisdiction. The terms and conditions of the authorizations and consents that are granted, if any, may impose requirements, limitations or costs or place restrictions on the conduct of the Combined Company’s business or may materially delay the completion of the Merger.

Under the Merger Agreement, UTC and Raytheon have agreed to use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain such authorizations and consents, and each of UTC and Raytheon has agreed to take any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate impediments under any antitrust laws that may be asserted by any governmental authority so as to enable the completion of the Merger as promptly as practicable. However, UTC’s and Raytheon’s obligations to take such actions are subject to limitations, including that neither UTC nor Raytheon will be required to commit to or effect any sale, divestiture, lease, holding separate pending a sale or other transfer or disposal, or certain other restrictions or actions if such actions, in the aggregate would or would reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse impact on Raytheon, UTC or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates, in each case measured on a scale relative to the size of the Combined Company.

In addition, at any time before or after the completion of the Merger, and notwithstanding the termination of applicable waiting periods, the applicable U.S. or foreign regulatory authorities or any state attorney general could take such action under antitrust or applicable foreign investment laws as such party deems necessary or desirable in the public interest. Such action could include, among other things, seeking to enjoin the completion of the Merger or seeking divestiture of substantial assets of the parties. In addition, in some circumstances, a third party could initiate a private action challenging, seeking to enjoin, or seeking to impose conditions on the Merger. UTC and Raytheon may not prevail and may incur significant costs in defending or settling any such action.

There can be no assurance that the conditions to the completion of the Merger set forth in the Merger Agreement relating to applicable regulatory laws will be satisfied.

The exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted in the event of any change in either UTC’s or Raytheon’s stock price; there is no (and will not be until the completion of the Distributions) trading history with respect to the shares of the UTC aerospace businesses on a standalone basis after giving effect to the Separation and the Distributions.

Upon completion of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Raytheon common stock (other than excluded shares) will be converted into the right to receive the Merger consideration, which is equal to 2.3348 fully paid and nonassessable shares of UTC common stock (and, if applicable, cash in lieu of fractional shares). This exchange ratio was fixed in the Merger Agreement and will not be adjusted for changes in the market price of either UTC common stock or Raytheon common stock.


16


As of the date of this filing, it is impossible to accurately predict the market price of UTC common stock at the completion of the Merger (including as a result of, among other things, the Separation and the Distributions), and therefore, impossible to accurately predict the market value of the shares of UTC common stock that Raytheon stockholders will receive in the Merger. There is no (and will not be until the completion of the Distributions) trading history with respect to the shares of the UTC aerospace businesses on a standalone basis after giving effect to the Separation and the Distributions. The market price for UTC common stock may fluctuate both prior to the completion of the Merger and thereafter for a variety of reasons, including, among others, general market and economic conditions, the demand for UTC’s or Raytheon’s products and services, the Separation and the Distributions, changes in laws and regulations, other changes in UTC’s and Raytheon’s respective businesses, operations, prospects and financial results of operations, market assessments of the likelihood that the Merger will be completed, and the expected timing of the Merger. Many of these factors are beyond UTC’s and Raytheon’s control. As a result, the market value represented by the exchange ratio will also vary.

As a result of the Distributions, we expect the market price of shares of UTC common stock to decline because the market price will no longer include the value of the Otis business or the Carrier business. The value of UTC common stock that Raytheon stockholders will receive in the Merger will reflect the combination of the UTC aerospace businesses and Raytheon and will not include the value of the Otis business or the Carrier business as the market price of UTC common stock currently does. We cannot predict the amount of this decline, as the market price of shares of UTC common stock may fluctuate based on the perceived values of the common stock of UTC, the Otis business and the Carrier business in anticipation of the Distributions and the Merger, and it may not be possible to estimate the market value of UTC common stock. In addition, there is no (and will not be until the completion of the Distributions) trading history with respect to the shares of the UTC aerospace businesses on a standalone basis after giving effect to the Separation and Distributions. Therefore, current and historical market prices of UTC common stock are not reflective of the value that Raytheon stockholders will receive in the Merger.

Each party is subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the Merger is pending, which could adversely affect Raytheon’s, and, following completion of the Merger, the Combined Company’s business and operations.

In connection with the pendency of the Merger, it is possible that some customers, suppliers and other persons with whom UTC and/or Raytheon has a business relationship may delay or defer certain business decisions or might decide to seek to terminate, change or renegotiate their relationships with UTC or Raytheon, as the case may be, as a result of the Merger or otherwise, which could negatively affect UTC’s or Raytheon’s respective revenues, earnings and/or cash flows, as well as the market price of UTC common stock or Raytheon common stock, regardless of whether the Merger is completed.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each of UTC and Raytheon is subject to certain restrictions on the conduct of its business prior to completing the Merger that may adversely affect its ability to execute certain of its business strategies, including the ability in certain cases to enter into or amend contracts, acquire or dispose of assets, incur indebtedness, pay dividends, incur capital expenditures or settle claims. Such limitations could adversely affect each of UTC’s and Raytheon’s business and operations prior to the completion of the Merger.

Each of the risks described above may be exacerbated by delays or other adverse developments with respect to the completion of the Merger.

Completion of the Merger may trigger change in control or other provisions in certain customer and other agreements to which UTC or Raytheon is a party, which may have an adverse impact on the Combined Company’s business and results of operations following completion of the Merger.

The completion of the Merger may trigger change in control and other provisions in certain agreements to which UTC or Raytheon is a party. If UTC or Raytheon is unable to negotiate waivers of those provisions, counterparties may exercise their rights and remedies under the agreements, including terminating the agreements or seeking monetary damages or equitable remedies. Even if UTC and Raytheon are able to negotiate consents or waivers, the counterparties may require a fee for such waivers or seek to renegotiate the agreements on terms less favorable to UTC or Raytheon. Any of the foregoing or similar developments may have an adverse impact on the Combined Company’s business and results of operations following completion of the Merger.


17


Uncertainties associated with the Merger may cause a loss of management personnel and other key employees, which could adversely affect the future business and operations of the Combined Company following completion of the Merger.

UTC and Raytheon are dependent on the experience and industry knowledge of their officers and other key employees to execute their business plans. The Combined Company’s success after the completion of the Merger will depend in part upon the ability of the Combined Company to retain certain key management personnel and employees of UTC and Raytheon. Prior to the completion of the Merger (as well as the Separations and the Distributions), current and prospective employees of UTC and Raytheon may experience uncertainty about their roles following the completion of the transactions, which may have an adverse effect on the ability of each of UTC and Raytheon to attract or retain key management and other key personnel. Furthermore, UTC expects certain key members of its current management will become employees of the entities holding the Otis business and the Carrier business and therefore such persons will no longer be employed by UTC. In addition, no assurance can be given that the Combined Company, after the completion of the Merger, will be able to attract or retain key management personnel and other key employees to the same extent that UTC and Raytheon have previously been able to attract or retain their own employees.

If either of the Distributions, together with certain related transactions, were to fail to qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including as a result of subsequent acquisitions of stock of UTC (including pursuant to the Merger), the Combined Company could be subject to significant tax liabilities.

It is a condition to the Distributions and the Merger that UTC receive (1) a private letter ruling from the IRS regarding certain U.S. federal income tax matters relating to the Separation and the Distributions and (2) an opinion of outside counsel regarding the qualification of certain elements of each of the Distributions under Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). Further, it is a condition to each of UTC’s and Raytheon’s obligations to complete the Merger that each of UTC and Raytheon receive an opinion of its respective outside counsel to the effect that (a) the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and (b) the Merger will not cause Section 355(e) of the Code to apply to either of the Distributions.

Notwithstanding receipt of the IRS private letter ruling and the opinions of counsel regarding the Distributions, the IRS could determine that the Distributions and/or certain related transactions should be treated as taxable transactions for U.S. federal income tax purposes if it determines that any of the representations, assumptions or undertakings upon which the IRS private letter ruling or the opinions of counsel was based are inaccurate or have not been complied with. In addition, the IRS private letter ruling will not address all of the issues that are relevant to determining whether each of the Distributions, together with certain related transactions, qualifies as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, notwithstanding receipt by UTC of the IRS private letter ruling and receipt by UTC and Raytheon of opinions of counsel, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not assert that the Distributions and/or certain related transactions do not qualify for tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including by reason of the Merger) or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. In the event the IRS were to prevail with such challenge, the Combined Company could be subject to significant U.S. federal income tax liability.

Risks Related to the Combined Company

Following the Merger, the composition of the board of directors of the Combined Company will be different than the composition of the current Raytheon Board of Directors.

The Raytheon Board of Directors currently consists of 13 directors. Upon completion of the Merger, the board of directors of the Combined Company will consist of 15 directors, including seven independent directors designated by UTC, six independent directors designated by Raytheon and the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Chairman of the Combined Company.

The Combined Company may be unable to successfully integrate the UTC aerospace businesses and Raytheon and realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger.

The success of the Merger will depend, in part, on the Combined Company’s ability to successfully combine and integrate the UTC aerospace businesses and Raytheon, and realize the anticipated benefits, including synergies, cost savings, innovation and technological opportunities and operational efficiencies from the Merger in a manner that does not materially disrupt existing customer, supplier and employee relations and does not result in decreased revenues due to losses of, or decreases in orders by, customers. If the Combined Company is unable to achieve these objectives within the anticipated time frame, or at all, the anticipated benefits may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected, and the value of the Combined Company common stock may decline. The Combined Company may fail to realize some or all of the anticipated benefits of the Merger if the integration process takes longer than expected or is more costly than expected.

The integration of the two companies may result in material challenges, including, without limitation:

managing a larger, more complex combined aerospace and defense business;
maintaining employee morale and retaining key management and other employees;
retaining existing business and operational relationships, including customers, suppliers and employees and other counterparties, as may be impacted by contracts containing consent and/or other provisions that may be triggered by the Merger, and attracting new business and operational relationships;
the diversion of management’s attention as a result of the devoting attention to the Merger, and/or the Separation and the Distributions;
consolidating corporate and administrative infrastructures and eliminating duplicative operations, including unanticipated issues in integrating information technology, communications and other systems;
coordinating geographically separate organizations; and
unforeseen expenses or delays associated with the Merger, including the Separation and the Distributions.

Many of these factors will be outside of UTC’s and/or Raytheon’s control, and any one of them could result in delays, increased costs, decreases in the amount of expected revenues and diversion of management’s time and energy, which could materially affect the Combined Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In addition, UTC completed its Merger with Rockwell Collins on November 26, 2018, and the integration of the UTC aerospace businesses and Rockwell Collins remains in process. This ongoing integration may increase the complexity of, and challenges associated with, the integration of the UTC aerospace businesses and Raytheon, which may make it more difficult for UTC and Raytheon to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Merger fully or at all, or within the anticipated time frame.

Due to legal restrictions, UTC and Raytheon are currently permitted to conduct only limited planning for the integration of the two companies following the Merger. The actual integration may result in additional and unforeseen expenses, and the anticipated benefits of the integration plan may not be realized on a timely basis, if at all.

The Combined Company may not be able to engage in desirable capital-raising or strategic transactions following the Merger.

Under current U.S. federal income tax law, a spin-off that otherwise qualifies for tax-free treatment can be rendered taxable to the parent corporation and its stockholders as a result of certain post-spin-off transactions, including certain acquisitions of shares or assets of the parent corporation. To preserve the tax-free treatment of the Distributions, the Combined Company may be limited in its ability to pursue certain equity issuances, strategic transactions, repurchases, or other transactions that it may otherwise believe to be in the best interests of its stockholders or that might increase the value of its business.

Upon completion of the Merger, Raytheon stockholders will have different rights under the Combined Company’s governing documents than they do currently under Raytheon’s governing documents.

Upon completion of the Merger, Raytheon stockholders will no longer be stockholders of Raytheon, but will instead become stockholders of the Combined Company and their rights as stockholders will be governed by the terms of the Combined Company’s certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws. The terms of the Combined Company’s certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws will be in some respects different than the terms of Raytheon’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws, which currently govern the rights of Raytheon stockholders.


19


The Combined Company’s amended and restated by-laws will designate the state courts within the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by Combined Company stockholders, which could discourage lawsuits against the Combined Company and its directors, officers and employees.

Under the Combined Company’s amended and restated by-laws, unless the Combined Company determines otherwise, a state court located within the State of Delaware (or, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) will be the sole and exclusive forum for:

any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Combined Company;
any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director or officer or other employee of the Combined Company to the Combined Company or to Combined Company stockholders;
any action asserting a claim against the Combined Company or any director or officer or other employee of the Combined Company arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Combined Company’s certificate of incorporation or the amended and restated by-laws (as either may be amended from time to time); or
any action asserting a claim against the Combined Company or any director or officer or other employee of the Combined Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, this exclusive forum provision will apply to state and federal law claims, including claims under the federal securities laws, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), although Combined Company stockholders will not be deemed to have waived the Combined Company’s compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ bylaws has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that, in connection with claims arising under federal securities laws or otherwise, a court could find the exclusive forum provision contained in the amended and restated by-laws to be inapplicable or unenforceable.

This exclusive forum provision may limit the ability of Combined Company stockholders to commence litigation in a forum that they prefer, which may discourage such lawsuits against the Combined Company and its current or former directors, officers and employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find this exclusive forum provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings described above, the Combined Company may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could negatively affect its business, results of operations and financial condition.

The future results of the Combined Company may be adversely impacted if the Combined Company does not effectively manage its complex operations following the completion of the Merger.

Following the completion of the Merger, the size of the Combined Company’s aerospace and defense business will be significantly larger than the current size of either Raytheon’s business or the UTC aerospace businesses, while at the same time the Otis business and Carrier business will no longer be part of UTC. The Combined Company’s ability to successfully manage this expanded aerospace and defense business while having completed the Distributions will depend, in part, upon management’s ability to design and implement strategic initiatives that address not only the integration of the UTC aerospace businesses and Raytheon, including UTC’s continuing integration of the Rockwell Collins business, but also the increased scale and scope of the combined business with its associated increased costs and complexity, and the loss of certain scale and scope through the Distributions. There can be no assurances that the Combined Company will be successful in integrating the businesses or that it will realize the expected operating efficiencies, cost savings and other benefits currently anticipated from the Merger.


20


Each of UTC and Raytheon expects to incur substantial expenses related to the completion of the Merger and the integration of the UTC aerospace businesses and Raytheon.

Each of UTC and Raytheon will incur substantial expenses in connection with the completion of the Merger (including, in the case of UTC, with respect to the Separation and the Distributions) to integrate a large number of processes, policies, procedures, operations, technologies and systems of UTC and Raytheon in connection with the Merger. The substantial majority of these costs will be non-recurring expenses related to the transactions and facilities and systems consolidation costs. The Combined Company may incur additional costs or suffer loss of business under third-party contracts that are terminated or that contain change in control or other provisions that may be triggered by the completion of the transactions, and/or losses of, or decreases in orders by, customers, and may also incur costs to retain certain key management personnel and employees. UTC and Raytheon will also incur transaction fees and costs related to formulating integration plans for the Combined Company, and the execution of these plans may lead to additional unanticipated costs and time delays. These incremental transaction-related costs may exceed the savings the Combined Company expects to achieve from the elimination of duplicative costs and the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses, particularly in the near term and in the event there are material unanticipated costs. Factors beyond the parties’ control could affect the total amount or timing of these expenses, many of which, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately.

The market price of the Combined Company’s common stock after the Merger is completed may be affected by factors different from those affecting the price of UTC common stock or Raytheon common stock before the Merger is completed.

Upon completion of the Merger, holders of Raytheon common stock will be holders of common stock of the Combined Company. As the businesses of UTC and Raytheon are different, the results of operations as well as the price of the Combined Company common stock may, in the future, be affected by factors different from those factors affecting each of UTC and Raytheon as an independent stand-alone company. The Combined Company will face additional risks and uncertainties to which each UTC and Raytheon may currently not be exposed. As a result, the market price of the Combined Company’s shares may fluctuate significantly following completion of the Merger. Additionally, as a result of the Distributions, the market price of shares of the Combined Company’s common stock will generally not be affected by factors relating to the Otis business or the Carrier business.

The market price of the Combined Company’s common stock may decline as a result of the Merger, including as a result of some UTC and/or Raytheon stockholders adjusting their portfolios.

The market price of the Combined Company’s common stock may decline as a result of the Merger if, among other things, the operational cost savings estimates in connection with the integration of the businesses of the UTC aerospace businesses and Raytheon’s businesses are not realized, there are unanticipated negative impacts on UTC’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows from either of the Distributions, or if the transaction costs related to the Merger are greater than expected. The market price also may decline if the Combined Company does not achieve the perceived benefits of the Merger (including the Separation and the Distributions) as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial or industry analysts or if the effect of the transactions on the Combined Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts.

In addition, sales of the Combined Company’s common stock after the completion of the transactions may cause the market price of such common stock to decrease. It is estimated that UTC will issue approximately 648 million shares, including share equity awards, of UTC common stock in connection with the Merger, based on the number of outstanding shares, including share equity awards, of Raytheon common stock as of July 11, 2019. Raytheon stockholders may decide not to hold the shares of Combined Company common stock they will receive in the Merger. Certain Raytheon stockholders, such as funds with limitations on their permitted holdings of stock in individual issuers, may be required to sell the shares of Combined Company common stock that they receive in the Merger. UTC stockholders may decide not to continue to hold their shares of common stock following completion of the Merger and/or the Separation and the Distributions. Certain UTC stockholders, such as funds with limitations on their permitted holdings of stock in individual issuers, may be required to sell their shares of common stock following completion of the transactions. Such sales of Combined Company common stock could have the effect of depressing the market price for the Combined Company’s common stock.

Any of these events may make it more difficult for the Combined Company to sell equity or equity-related securities, dilute your ownership interest in the Combined Company and have an adverse impact on the price of the Combined Company’s common stock.

Our Compensation Objectives
Our executive compensation program is designed to:

Attract and retain highly-qualified executives
Motivate our executives to achieve our overall business objectives
Reward individual performance
Align our executives’ interests with those of our shareholders

Elements of our Compensation Program
Our program consists primarily of three direct compensation elements.
Compensation Element & Type of Compensation
Key Objectives
Base Salary
○ Fixed
○ Annual cash
• To provide a base level of cash compensation that is
  competitive and reflects an executive’s experience and
  scope of responsibilities
Annual Incentive Awards
Results-Based Incentive (RBI)
○ Variable, at risk
○ Annual cash
• To motivate and reward executives based on their
  performance in achieving annual Raytheon and individual goals
• To align short-term executive pay with performance
Long-Term Incentive Equity Awards
Restricted Stock
○ Variable, equity (typically four-year vesting)
Long-Term Performance Plan (LTPP) units
○ Variable, equity (three-year performance)
• To motivate and reward executives based on Raytheon performance
  and value delivered to shareholders through stock price appreciation
• To retain highly-qualified executives
• To align long-term executive pay with performance

Our executives’ total direct compensation reflects a mix of these three elements that meets our compensation objectives. These direct compensation elements are rounded out with certain perquisites and other executive benefits. See “Perquisites and Other Executive Benefits.” To reinforce the link with shareholders’ interests, we require our executives to own a meaningful amount of stock. See “Stock Ownership and Retention Guidelines.”

Company Performance and Compensation Outcomes
In June 2019, Raytheon and United Technologies Corporation (UTC) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement). The merger of equals transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement will represent a landmark event for Raytheon and will create a premier systems provider with advanced technologies to address rapidly growing Aerospace and Defense segments. It will result in a combined company with expanded technology and research and development (R&D) capabilities enabling it to deliver innovative and cost-effective solutions aligned with customer priorities. The merger is targeted to close early in the second quarter of 2020. In addition to this transformative transaction, Raytheon successfully continued to execute its growth strategy in 2019 to deliver results for our shareholders and customers. Our strong execution resulted in several company financial records, including net sales, operating cash flow, bookings and backlog. Our record bookings of $36.3 billion were up 13% for the year and represented a book-to-bill ratio of 1.25 for the year, and our record backlog at year-end of $48.8 billion was up 15% for the year. Our record full-year net sales of $29.2 billion were up 7.8% for the year. Our full-year EPS from continuing operations of $11.92 was up 17.4% for the year. Our record operating cash flow from continuing operations was $4.5 billion for the year, and this better than expected operating cash flow performance was driven by improved working capital.

In particular, Raytheon achieved record classified bookings and sales in 2019, which were up 17% and 15%, respectively, for the year. Our classified work generally funds next-generation technology development that is critical to Raytheon’s long-term growth through the creation of future franchise programs (advanced solution sets for which we expect longer-term customer demand) and production awards. To enable this classified business performance, Raytheon has made strategic internal investments over the past few years to ensure our capabilities are aligned with our customer needs. We also continued to expand the international markets for Raytheon solutions, including for our Patriot and National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (NASAMS™) air and missile defense system franchises. In 2019, Raytheon booked two major NASAMS production awards totaling over $2 billion for new international customers and several major Patriot production awards totaling over $2 billion for existing international customers. Also in 2019, Raytheon was selected by the U.S. Army to develop the Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense System (LTAMDS).

Pay for Performance. Most of our executives’ compensation is at risk and varies based on performance. Due to our strong 2019 financial performance, we exceeded our 2019 RBI targets on all metrics, resulting in a 146.7% funding level.

The 2019 RBI performance targets for all metrics, except for FCF, were greater than the comparable 2018 RBI targets. The 2019 RBI FCF target reflected higher planned investments on capital expenditures, including additional facilities requirements, as well as necessary investments related to recent program wins. 2019 was the fifth consecutive year of accelerated growth for Raytheon and these investments relate to this growth.

The Company’s strong overall performance over the three-year performance cycle resulted in a 171% payout factor for our 2017-2019 LTPP awards.

The results across all 2017-2019 LTPP metrics are indicative of our multi-year continuous strong out-performance, including our consistently strong sales growth rate (particularly in classified programs), and our stronger-than-expected cash flow.

The Management Development and Compensation Committee (MDCC) believes that executive compensation should be tied to Raytheon performance that drives long-term value creation for our shareholders. Accordingly, our executive compensation program provides executives with a mix of variable, at-risk, short- and long-term incentive opportunities based on a number of key financial metrics. The MDCC believes the selected metrics drive operational and financial performance consistent with our long-term growth strategy, and are strong indicators of our overall performance. In particular, the MDCC believes the RBI program metrics of bookings, net sales, FCF and operating income from continuing operations, which are balanced against the LTPP program metrics of ROIC, CFCF and TSR, have driven strong Raytheon operational results, including Company performance in 2019 and increased shareholder value over the long term.

We include free cash flow metrics in both the RBI and LTPP programs to reflect the importance of both short-term and long-term cash flow to investors. Cash flow directly impacts the health of our balance sheet, which enables us to effectively deploy our capital to support Raytheon’s strategy and generate value to shareholders. Short-term cash flow performance impacts our capital and software expenditures, company and program investments, and discretionary pension contributions. Long-term cash flow is an important metric in determining dividend changes, acquisition capacity and other longer-term investments that span several years.

Our RBI and LTPP programs are discussed in more detail in “Annual Cash Incentives - RBI” and “Long-Term Performance Plan.”

Shareholder Outreach and Compensation Program Changes
Raytheon regularly engages with our shareholders to solicit their views on, among other important topics, our executive compensation program. We have conducted formal engagements annually since 2010, and the MDCC has incorporated feedback from this outreach and other communications into numerous aspects of our executive compensation program, including design elements and metrics.

Previous Changes. The MDCC is committed to continuous evaluation of our executive compensation program to ensure it remains appropriate for Raytheon and our strategic, business and financial objectives, and is well aligned with our shareholders’ interests. In 2019, Raytheon implemented the changes described below to its executive compensation program and disclosure based on institutional shareholder feedback. In the spring of 2019, Raytheon communicated with 15 institutions representing approximately 20% of Raytheon shares and these institutional shareholders generally expressed satisfaction with Raytheon’s executive compensation program.
2019 Executive Compensation Program and Disclosure Changes
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
• Beginning in 2019, the MDCC increased the weight of executive performance-based LTPP awards for a long-term incentive mix of 60% LTPP/40% time-based restricted stock. This change to mix affects all NEOs and other executive officers.

 
• We enhanced our compensation program disclosures regarding annual RBI and LTPP performance goals, including additional information on period-over-period targets, the threshold and maximum performance for RBI awards, and the threshold performance for LTPP awards.

In 2017 and 2018, the MDCC made the changes described below after a comprehensive review by its independent compensation consultant to ensure the program remains closely aligned with market norms and consistent with best practices.
2017/2018 Executive Compensation Program Changes
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
• Implemented “double trigger” for accelerated vesting of equity awards following a change in control (a change in control followed by an involuntary termination without cause or voluntary departure for good reason)(1)
 
• Added requirement of restrictive covenant (including non-competition and non-solicitation) compliance for post-employment LTPP payouts and severance pay, subject to applicable law(2)

 
• Eliminated car allowances(3)
 
• Adjusted RBI and LTPP program performance ranges and pay ranges to improve pay-for-performance alignment and market practice alignment(4)

(1)
Beginning with the 2018-2020 LTPP and 2018 annual restricted stock awards, and other equity awards made starting in May 2017.
(2)
Beginning with the 2018-2020 LTPP awards and effective July 2017 under the executive severance guidelines approved by the MDCC.
(3)
Effective July 2017.
(4)
Effective for the 2018 RBI program and the 2018-2020 LTPP awards. See “Company Performance and Compensation Outcomes.”

In addition to shareholder feedback, the MDCC works closely with its independent compensation consultant and management to consider market trends and best practices, and makes changes to the compensation program as appropriate.

Executive Compensation Program Best Practices
Raytheon’s compensation program features the following best practices.
What We Do
 
 
 
 
 
üPay for Performance.

Our executives’ compensation is tied to Raytheon financial performance via financial goals and individual performance over both the near and long term.
 
üMarket Focus.

The MDCC uses market data from a carefully selected peer group to set executive total target direct compensation approximating the median and to design and update the executive compensation program and its elements.
 
üCompensation Mix.

Our executives’ compensation is heavily weighted toward variable, at-risk performance-based elements and toward long-term and equity-based elements to align with shareholder interests.

 
 
 
 
 
üActive Shareholder Outreach
    and Response.

We regularly engage with shareholders and incorporate feedback into our executive compensation program.
 
üConsultant Independence.


The MDCC adheres to a stringent Compensation Consultant Independence Policy when retaining outside advisers.
 
üClawback Rights.


Our clawback policy provides for recovery of equity and performance-based cash compensation in certain circumstances where restatement of financial results is required.
 
 
 
 
 
üMeaningful Stock Ownership
    Requirements.

We maintain strict minimum stock ownership requirements to align executives’ interests with those of shareholders and to focus executives on long-term shareholder value.
 
üPost-Employment Restrictive
   Covenants.

Our executive severance guidelines require, subject to applicable law, compliance with certain restrictive covenants (including non-competition and non-solicitation) after termination as a condition of receiving severance payments.
 
üProvide Limited Perquisites.


We only offer very limited perquisites to our executive officers.


What We Don’t Do
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
X No Formal
    Employment
    Agreements.

Other than standard offer letters, none of our executive officers has a formal employment agreement with Raytheon.
 
X We Don’t Encourage
    Inappropriate
    Risk-Taking.

The compensation program is designed to avoid encouraging excessive risk-taking.

 
X No Single-Trigger Payments under Change-in-Control
    Agreements.


Both a change in control and a qualifying termination (involuntary termination without cause or voluntary departure for good reason) are required for executives to receive cash payments and acceleration of equity under their change-in-control agreements.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
X No Excise Tax Gross-Ups or Perquisites under Change-in-Control
    Agreements.

Our change-in-control guidelines prohibit providing excise tax gross-ups on any change-in-control payments. They also prohibit providing perquisites to an executive under a change-in-control agreement.

 
X No Pledging or Hedging.


We prohibit pledging or hedging of the economic value of our stock by our officers, employees and directors.

The amounts set forth under the Restricted Stock and LTPP Award columns represent the full intrinsic values of such awards on the date the Board or MDCC made the formal determination for each such grant (e.g., target number of shares times the closing price of our common stock on the determination date), since that is the basis upon which the MDCC considers these awards in proposing, recommending and approving annual compensation. In contrast, the Stock Awards column in the Summary Compensation Table represents the grant date fair value of such awards for financial statement reporting purposes. Effective beginning in 2019, the MDCC approved changes to the mix of long-term incentive equity awards to increase the percentage of performance-based equity and reduce the percentage of time-based restricted stock.

Our Compensation Philosophy and Principles
Our executive compensation program is designed to attract and retain highly-qualified executives, motivate our executives to achieve our overall business objectives, reward individual performance, and align our executives’ interests with those of our shareholders. Our executives must have a particular level of skill and experience to manage our complex, global businesses effectively. Given the duration of our programs, contracts and business cycles, and the competitive nature of our industry, it is especially important for us to retain our executive talent for a number of years to ensure continuity of management.
Several features of our compensation program reflect our compensation philosophy and objectives.
We use variable, at-risk, short- and long-term incentive opportunities to tie a significant portion of each executive’s compensation to Raytheon’s performance and to individual performance against pre-established financial, operational and other goals.
 
Our stock-based incentives, coupled with meaningful stock ownership and retention requirements, ensure that executives’ interests are aligned closely with those of our shareholders.
Our balanced incentives program provides awards with both significant upside opportunity for exceptional performance and downside risk for underperformance.
 
Our clawback policy provides for recovery of cash and equity-based incentive compensation in certain circumstances following a restatement of our financial results.
Our executives have the opportunity to earn compensation that is competitive with compensation earned by executives in comparable positions at companies with which we compete for talent.
 
The MDCC designs and monitors the executive compensation program to ensure it does not foster risk-taking that would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Raytheon.
The MDCC receives advice from a compensation consulting firm that satisfies stringent independence criteria.

Management of our Executive Compensation Program
The MDCC establishes, oversees and assesses the effectiveness of our executive compensation program in relation to our compensation philosophy and the market. To do so, the MDCC considers input from its independent compensation consultant, shareholders and management, and considers factors such as market data, risk considerations, executives’ experience levels, and macroeconomic and organizational considerations. The MDCC considers internal pay equity, but does not establish a fixed relationship between the compensation of our CEO and that of any other NEO.

The MDCC retains an independent compensation consultant to help with designing and evaluating our executive compensation program. Since November 2016, the MDCC has engaged Frederic W. Cook & Co. (FW Cook) to serve as its compensation consultant. See “Independent Compensation Consultant.”

How We Determine and Assess Executive Compensation
Our decisions regarding executive compensation are primarily driven by Raytheon and individual performance and market competitiveness. The chart below shows how we distribute the various responsibilities related to establishing compensation.
Independent Management Development and Compensation Committee (MDCC)
• Establishes, oversees and assesses executive compensation programs and practices
• Reviews and recommends CEO and other NEO compensation to the independent Board members
• Recommends to the independent Board members annual corporate goals relevant to CEO and other NEO compensation;
   considers CEO input on other NEO goals
• Evaluates CEO individual performance and reviews individual performance of other NEOs; considers CEO input on
   other NEO performance
• Approves short- and long-term incentive plan funding based on Raytheon performance
Independent Board Members
Determine CEO and other NEO compensation
Determine annual corporate goals relevant to CEO and other NEO compensation
Independent Compensation Consultant
Provides advice on executive compensation programs and practices and the construct of variable incentive plans
Provides market data and information about peer compensation trends
Assesses prior year pay-for-performance alignment
Provides peer company data for setting and amending the peer groups

Shareholders
• Provide input on compensation matters via say-on-pay advisory votes and Raytheon outreach efforts

Peer Groups and Market Data
We use two peer groups to assist us in assessing the competitiveness of our executive compensation relative to market and weighing Raytheon’s performance. Our “core” peer group consists of nine companies that are either aerospace and defense companies or have substantial aerospace or defense businesses. These companies are the most comparable to us based on complexity, operations, revenues, net income, and market capitalization. Our “broader” peer group includes the core peer group plus seven additional companies from other industries that have similar complexity, operations, revenues, net income, and market capitalization to ours.

We use the core peer group to measure Raytheon’s total shareholder return (TSR) performance because these companies are the most similar to Raytheon in their business and operations and we compete with them for contracts and talent. The MDCC also uses the core peer group as a reference point for certain compensation practices in the aerospace and defense industry. The MDCC uses the broader peer group to determine market positioning in setting compensation for our CEO and CFO, and to evaluate the relationship between pay and performance for our NEOs. The MDCC also uses the broader peer group as a general reference point for executive compensation practices.

The companies that made up the peer groups for purposes of 2019 compensation are shown below.
Core Peers
• General Dynamics Corporation
• L3Harris Technologies, Inc.(1)
• Honeywell International Inc.
• Lockheed Martin Corporation

The MDCC reviews both peer groups annually. From time to time, with input from the independent compensation consultant, we adjust the composition of the peer groups to reflect changes in our strategy and markets or changes in the peer group companies themselves. We made no changes to our peer groups in 2019.


35


The MDCC obtains information from its independent compensation consultant on the compensation levels, programs and practices of the companies in the core and broader peer groups. The MDCC also considers market survey data published by third parties regarding companies outside of our peer groups. The MDCC uses this survey data in setting compensation for our NEOs other than the CEO and the CFO. The MDCC also uses this data as a general indicator of relevant market conditions and pay practices and as a broader reference point. In addition, the MDCC considers information on market and peer compensation trends (levels, mix, vehicles and metrics) provided by its consultant.

Market data is an important consideration when the MDCC establishes and evaluates compensation levels for our NEOs. In setting our NEOs’ total target direct compensation, the MDCC uses the market median for comparable positions as a reference to ensure our NEOs’ compensation opportunities are market-competitive and meet the other objectives of our executive compensation program. The MDCC also considers other factors in setting individual target compensation, including:

The executive’s experience in the position;
The executive’s performance against individual goals and contribution to Raytheon’s financial and operational performance; and
The executive’s relative level of responsibility with Raytheon and the impact of the executive’s position on Raytheon.

As a result of individual and Raytheon performance and the foregoing considerations in setting our NEOs’ total target direct compensation, the actual compensation for any individual NEO can vary from the market median.

As shown in this graphic, our NEOs’ 2019 total target direct compensation was competitively positioned in comparison to compensation for their counterparts, according to a market assessment prepared by the MDCC’s compensation consultant.

To confirm that actual pay is aligned with Raytheon’s performance, the independent compensation consultant analyzes prior year pay-for-performance alignment when peer group performance data becomes available. Most recently, in mid-2019, FW Cook used 2018 peer performance data to analyze our NEOs’ 2018 compensation. The analysis assessed the correlation between our short-term pay (base salary and annual incentive awards) and short-term performance for 2018 relative to the peer group. The analysis also assessed the correlation between our long-term pay (total direct pay, consisting of base salary, annual incentive awards, and realizable value of long-term incentive awards and restricted stock over the most recent three-year period) and long-term performance relative to the peer group over the same three-year period. FW Cook made these performance comparisons by considering reported financial results in four areas: growth in revenues; growth in operating income; return on invested capital; and (for long-term performance comparisons only) total shareholder return. For 2018, FW Cook concluded that there is reasonable alignment between our NEOs’ pay and Raytheon’s short- and long-term performance relative to our core and broader peers.

Executive Compensation in 2019
This section describes the three types of total direct compensation that make up our executive compensation program, as well as the decisions made and compensation awarded in 2019.

Total Direct Compensation Mix
The MDCC annually reviews the relative mix of our compensation elements. In particular, the MDCC looks at how the total direct compensation opportunity (the sum of base salary, target annual incentive, and target long-term incentives) is distributed in the following categories:

Fixed versus variable
Short-term versus long-term
Cash versus equity-based


36


As shown in the charts below, our executives’ 2019 total direct compensation was heavily weighted toward variable, performance-based elements, and toward long-term and equity-based elements. In addition, as discussed in “Shareholder Outreach and Compensation Program Changes,” effective beginning in 2019, the MDCC approved changes to the mix of long-term incentive equity awards to increase the percentage of performance-based equity and reduce the percentage of time-based restricted stock.

Upon execution of the Merger Agreement, Mr. Kennedy entered into an employment agreement with UTC, which will become effective upon completion of the Merger. For more information about this employment agreement, see “Employment Agreement with Thomas A. Kennedy.”

Base Salary
The MDCC reviews the base salaries of our executive officers annually and whenever an executive changes position. Our CEO makes salary recommendations with respect to his direct reports. To maintain competitive pay levels, we refer to the median of base salaries for comparable positions in setting our NEOs’ base salaries and considering annual salary changes. However, the MDCC also considers individual factors, as discussed above under “Peer Groups and Market Data,” including an executive’s scope of responsibilities and years of experience. As a result, individual executive salaries may vary from the market median.

In 2019, Mr. Kennedy’s base salary rate remained the same as his rate that went into effect in March 2018. Mr. O’Brien’s base salary was increased by 5% to reflect his continuing experience and strong individual performance as CFO in 2019. Mr. Wajsgras’ base salary remained consistent with the prior year, and Mr. Kremer’s base salary was increased by 4% to reflect his continuing experience and strong individual performance as president of our MS business.

Annual Cash Incentives - RBI
The NEOs all participated in our annual Results-Based Incentive (RBI) Plan in 2019. RBI awards were determined through the process described below.
NEO target RBI payouts are established
At the beginning of the year, each NEO is assigned a target payout expressed as a percentage of base salary. These targets remained unchanged from the 2018 targets.
• CEO - 200%
• Other NEOs - 100%
Raytheon performance goals are set for RBI funding pool
At the beginning of the year, performance metrics are selected and goals are set based on Raytheon’s annual operating plan. The metrics for 2019 were:
• Bookings
• Net Sales
 
• Free Cash Flow
• Operating Income from Continuing Operations
Raytheon performance is assessed and RBI funding is determined
At the end of the year, the MDCC assesses Raytheon’s performance against the goals and determines the funding of the RBI pool.
All NEO RBI awards are funded through the total-company RBI pool, not the business unit funding pools.
Individual NEO performance is evaluated
The MDCC considers each NEO’s performance against the NEO’s individual quantitative and qualitative goals. This individual performance assessment is used to differentiate RBI payouts and motivate and reward extraordinary performance.
Final RBI awards are determined and approved
The RBI funding (as a percentage of target) is applied against each NEO’s target RBI payout. That funded amount is then adjusted based on the NEO’s individual performance assessment.
The MDCC recommends the NEO RBI awards to the Board for its approval.

Total-Company Performance Goals
The MDCC sets Raytheon performance goals for selected financial metrics. Raytheon’s total-company results against those metrics drive the funding of the total-company RBI pool. In order to promote alignment and collaboration across the enterprise, all executive officer RBI awards (including those of individual business presidents) are based on total-company results. Our individual businesses have separate financial goals and RBI pools for their employees (other than the business presidents).
For 2019, consistent with past practice, the MDCC selected the following financial metrics for determining funding levels of the RBI pools.
A20PICTURE.JPG
Bookings
 
A30PICTURE.JPG
Net Sales
Forward-looking metric that measures the value of new contracts awarded to us during the year; indicator of potential future growth.
 
Growth metric that measures our revenue for the current year.

A20PICTURE2.JPG
Free Cash Flow (FCF)(1)
 
A30PICTURE2.JPG
Operating Income from
Continuing Operations(1)
Measure of cash generated in a given year available for use in strategic investments to grow our businesses or otherwise generate returns for our shareholders.
 
Measure of our profit from continuing operations for the year, before interest and taxes, and after certain non-operational adjustments.
(1)
FCF and Operating Income from Continuing Operations are non-GAAP financial measures. FCF is operating cash flow from continuing operations less capital spending and internal-use software spending, excluding the impact of changes to cash flow from pension and post-retirement benefits-related items and other similar non-operational items. Operating Income from Continuing Operations is operating income from continuing operations, excluding the FAS/CAS pension and post-retirement benefits operating adjustment and, from time to time, certain other items.

These metrics, considered in the aggregate, are strong indicators of our overall performance and our ability to create shareholder value. They are balanced among long- and short-term performance, growth and efficiency, and are aligned with our business strategies. For example, we continue to focus on growing our business in core defense and new markets, both domestic and international. We expect our success in this area to be reflected in our bookings in the shorter term and in net sales in the longer term. In addition to growing our business, we maintain a strong focus on program execution in order to maximize operating income and cash.

38


At the end of each year, Raytheon’s total-company RBI pool is funded (or not funded) based on Raytheon’s performance against targets for each of the metrics described above. In assessing performance for each financial metric, the MDCC considers both quantitative results and qualitative factors. Qualitative factors may include the impact of unanticipated events or events outside of our control, such as acquisitions and divestitures, delays in the timing of contract awards, changes in accounting standards, and certain non-operational items. An assessment of these factors may prompt the MDCC to adjust performance results to more accurately reflect Raytheon’s overall operational performance.
Funding for each individual metric is based on the threshold, target and maximum goals. If we do not achieve the threshold for a metric, the MDCC allocates no funds to the RBI pool for that metric. In each case, the goals are independent and additive: if we miss the threshold performance as to one measure, no credit would apply to that element, but above-target performance on another metric could make up for part or all of the shortfall. In addition, payouts are subject to a cap, even if performance exceeds our maximum goals.
Following a comprehensive review in 2017 of our executive compensation program, the MDCC’s independent compensation consultant recommended changes to the RBI program payout structure to better align our executive compensation program with market practice and to motivate continuous increased financial performance. As a result, the MDCC approved adjustments to the RBI program effective beginning in 2018. Specifically, the MDCC decreased payouts for threshold achievement from 75% to 50% of the target payout, and increased payouts for maximum achievement from 150% to 200% of target, on each metric to motivate stronger performance. The MDCC also decreased the maximum performance goals for bookings and net sales to better reward above-target performance in line with market practices, and decreased both the maximum and threshold goals for free cash flow to make the potential for payouts more appropriate and achievable in line with market practices.
The following table summarizes, for the 2019 total-company RBI pool, the pre-established performance thresholds, targets and maximums, the MDCC’s assessment of results against each target, and the resulting funding percentage for each metric.

The 2019 RBI performance targets for all metrics, except for FCF, were greater than the comparable 2018 RBI targets. These target increases reflected Raytheon’s strong execution of our growth strategy. The 2019 RBI FCF target reflected higher planned investments on capital expenditures, including additional facilities requirements, as well as necessary investments related to recent program wins. 2019 was the fifth consecutive year of accelerated growth for Raytheon and these investments relate to this growth.

The 2019 results across all RBI metrics, leading to our total-company RBI funding level of 146.7% of target, are indicative of our strong 2019 financial performance. See “Company Performance and Compensation Outcomes” for more information on our company performance in relation to our RBI funding level.

Individual Performance Goals
Each NEO has quantitative and qualitative individual performance goals that are established annually. We believe individualized goals promote personal accountability and help differentiate our executives’ compensation based on performance. Each NEO’s RBI award is therefore subject to both Raytheon performance (via total-company funding results, as described above) and individual performance. In order to motivate and reward extraordinary performance, individual RBI awards are structured so that payouts can be significantly higher than both target and funding, up to a cap of 200% of target. Conversely, an executive who underperforms in relation to individual goals would receive an RBI award that is less than the executive’s target after adjustment for total-company RBI pool funding.

RBI individual performance goals for the CEO. The MDCC recommends, and the full Board (excluding the CEO) approves, our CEO’s goals. In connection with his annual performance evaluation, our CEO prepares a written self-assessment of his performance against these goals. The MDCC discusses the CEO’s performance and develops a preliminary performance evaluation, which is then discussed by all of the independent directors in an executive session of the Board. Based on this evaluation, the MDCC recommends, and the full Board (excluding the CEO) approves, the CEO’s RBI award and other compensation.

RBI individual performance goals for the other NEOs. For our other NEOs, our CEO provides input to the MDCC with regard to appropriate performance goals and provides his assessments and recommendations regarding individual NEO performance. Examples of individual performance goals for our NEOs for 2019 include:

Achieving specified milestones in the implementation of Raytheon’s strategy to drive profitable growth and create shareholder value;
Achieving financial objectives within the individual’s business or functional area;
Establishing and maintaining strong customer relationships by providing excellent program performance and innovative solutions;
Successfully managing the individual’s business or functional organization, including implementing improvements in employee hiring, engagement, development and retention;
Successfully driving exemplary regulatory compliance;
Achieving sustainability and health and safety goals by increasing energy efficiency and successfully implementing workplace safety initiatives;
Successfully reducing costs and improving efficiencies to provide customers with affordable solutions; and
Leveraging diversity and inclusion to achieve global growth, enterprise collaboration and competitive advantage.

Long-Term Equity Incentives - LTPP and Restricted Stock
Our NEOs receive long-term equity incentive awards in two forms: performance-based restricted stock units pursuant to our Long-Term Performance Plan (LTPP), and time-based restricted stock. In setting our NEOs’ aggregate long-term incentive award opportunities, the MDCC references the market median for total target direct compensation, and considers the NEOs’ target cash compensation (base salary and RBI) and the individual factors discussed above under “Market Data.”
Beginning in 2019, the MDCC increased the weight of executive performance-based LTPP awards for a long-term incentive mix of 60% LTPP / 40% time-based restricted stock.
Our 2019 NEO LTPP awards (at target) and restricted stock awards were as follows:

60/10 RSU Awards are awarded to certain employees in lieu of Restricted Stock Awards as described in “Restricted Stock Awards.”

Long-Term Performance Plan
The LTPP awards are performance-based restricted stock units that vest at the end of a three-year performance cycle based on Raytheon performance against pre-established financial goals set by the MDCC. The MDCC has elected to make the LTPP award payouts in common stock, but it could elect to settle these awards in cash instead. LTPP awards are granted annually to provide continuity of opportunity and marketplace consistency. As a result, financial results for any single year will affect the payouts for three overlapping three-year performance periods.

Target LTPP payout opportunities. The MDCC sets, for each executive, a target LTPP payout opportunity for each performance cycle. Depending on Raytheon’s performance over the following three years, an executive can receive a payout ranging from zero to 200% of target, plus accrued dividend equivalents.

Raytheon performance goals. The performance goals for the 2019-2021, 2018-2020, and 2017-2019 performance periods are based on return on invested capital (ROIC), cumulative free cash flow (CFCF), and relative total shareholder return (TSR). The table below explains these metrics and the weighting assigned to each.
A50PICTURE.JPG
Return on Invested Capital(1)
Measure of how efficiently and effectively we use capital to generate returns, including through investments and acquisitions. Our ability to generate returns efficiently and effectively is critical to our growth and the funding of our operations.
A25PICTURE.JPG
Cumulative Free Cash Flow(1)
Measure of cash generated over the three-year performance period that is available for use in strategic investments to grow our businesses or otherwise generate return to our shareholders. Our ability to generate cash is critical to our growth and the funding of our operations.
A25PICTURE2.JPG
Relative Total Shareholder Return(1)
Measure of our stock price appreciation, including reinvested dividends, over the three-year performance period in comparison to our core peers’ stock performance over the same period. Investors recognize TSR as an appropriate measure to motivate executives and to achieve alignment with our shareholders’ interests.
(1)
ROIC, CFCF and TSR are non-GAAP financial measures. The calculation of CFCF is the FCF calculation described above under the RBI plan over a three-year performance cycle. TSR is calculated using 30-trading-day average stock prices at the beginning of the performance cycle and immediately following the end of the cycle. The calculation of ROIC is (a) the sum of (i) income from continuing operations, excluding the after-tax effect of the FAS/CAS pension and postretirement benefits operating adjustment and retirement benefits non-service expense and, from time to time, certain other items, (ii) after-tax net interest expense, and (iii) one-third of operating lease expense after-tax (estimate of interest portion of operating lease expense), divided by (b) the sum of (i) average invested capital after capitalizing operating leases (operating lease expense times a multiplier of 8), (ii) financial guarantees, less net investment in discontinued operations, and (iii) the liability for defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans, net of tax, less other similar non-operational items. Such calculation also includes certain variations because the metric is averaged over the three-year performance cycle.

The MDCC believes these three metrics, considered in the aggregate, fairly represent Raytheon’s overall performance, and Raytheon performance in these areas leads to the creation of long-term value for our shareholders.

At the beginning of each performance cycle, the MDCC sets target, threshold and maximum Raytheon performance levels for the three-year period for each metric based on the first three years of our five-year financial plan. The MDCC does not change the LTPP targets during the performance cycle, even if management later revises our business projections and plans. In determining Raytheon’s performance for each financial metric, the MDCC disregards any change in applicable accounting standards or tax statutes after the awards are granted. See “Tax Considerations.” In accordance with their terms as established at the time of the grant, the 2017-2019 LTPP awards exclude the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 on our financial results.

Following a comprehensive review in 2017 of our executive compensation program, the MDCC’s independent compensation consultant recommended changes to the LTPP program payout structure to better align our executive compensation program with market practice and to motivate continuous increased performance. As a result, the MDCC approved adjustments to the LTPP program effective beginning in 2018. Specifically, the MDCC implemented linear interpolation rather than step increases for payouts within the performance goal ranges for ROIC and CFCF in order to motivate continuously improving performance and align to market practices. The MDCC also increased the CFCF threshold goal to require better performance prior to any payout.

LTPP awards are paid out at the end of their three-year cycles based on Raytheon performance against these predetermined goals. In each case, the goals are independent and additive: if we miss the threshold performance as to one measure, no credit would apply to that element, but above-target performance on another metric could make up for part or all of the shortfall. Meeting or exceeding any metric’s maximum performance goal would result in funding for that metric capped at two times the target funding level for that metric.

Achievement of performance goals. The following table summarizes, for the 2017-2019 LTPP award cycle, the pre-established performance thresholds, targets and maximums for all three metrics, our MDCC-determined actual performance, and the corresponding funding.

The overall payout factor of 171% of target reflects strong Raytheon performance during the performance cycle. The results across all 2017-2019 LTPP metrics are indicative of our multi-year continuous strong out-performance, including our consistently strong sales growth rate (particularly in classified programs), and our stronger-than-expected cash flow.

Restricted Stock Awards
In 2019, we granted time-based restricted stock awards to Messrs. O’Brien, Wajsgras, Kremer and Azevedo. These awards vest in three equal tranches on each of the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date, provided the recipient remains employed with Raytheon on the scheduled vesting dates.

Since 2014, we have granted, in lieu of restricted stock awards, restricted stock units (called 60/10 RSUs) to certain employees who have attained the age of 60 with at least ten years of service with Raytheon. Unlike our restricted stock, 60/10 RSUs continue to vest (but do not accelerate) as scheduled, even if the recipient retires. As a condition of continued post-retirement vesting, an employee must comply with certain covenants, including non-competition, non-solicitation of employees, non-interference with contractual arrangements, confidentiality, and cooperation in certain specified instances. In 2019, we granted 60/10 RSUs to Mr. Kennedy.

Perquisites and Other Executive Benefits
While they are a relatively small portion of our executives’ total direct compensation opportunities, perquisites and other executive benefits are important to ensure competitiveness at the senior leadership level. Under our executive perquisite policy, we provide our executive officers financial planning services, executive physicals, and life insurance coverage. We also provide other perquisites (such as home security and use of corporate aircraft) to certain executives in limited circumstances due to our security and personal safety requirements. In 2017, for consistency with prevailing market practice, we eliminated the car allowance that was previously provided to executive officers. Individually and in the aggregate, the perquisites we provide to our NEOs are comparable in scope to those provided by the companies in our peer groups, particularly in the core peer group of aerospace and defense companies.

Say-on-Pay
Since 2011, we have asked our shareholders to vote annually, on an advisory basis, on our executive compensation. In 2019, more than 90% of the votes cast by our shareholders approved our executive compensation. As discussed in “Shareholder Outreach and Compensation Program Changes,” in 2019 we solicited input from many of our shareholders on various executive compensation and governance matters. As a result of further analysis and some of our shareholder discussions, the MDCC adjusted our long-term incentive compensation mix in 2019. This change, which was made with input from the MDCC’s independent compensation consultant, was consistent with our executive compensation planning and benchmarking efforts. As enhanced by this change, the MDCC believes our existing compensation approach is appropriate for Raytheon and our business in the current market environment. The MDCC will continue to monitor shareholder advisory votes and to seek shareholder input on compensation matters. Where appropriate, the MDCC, in consultation with its independent compensation consultant, will consider changes to the executive compensation program.

Independent Compensation Consultant
Since November 1, 2016, the MDCC has engaged FW Cook to serve as its independent compensation consulting firm. Among other things, the MDCC’s compensation consultant provides information on compensation levels, programs and practices within certain peer groups and the broader market; reports on compensation trends among our peers and the broader market; and performs a pay-for-performance assessment. The MDCC’s compensation decision-making process relies on this work product, together with the MDCC members’ judgment and experience, and information, analyses and recommendations provided by management.

The MDCC has a formal Compensation Consultant Independence Policy to ensure the committee receives independent and unbiased advice and analysis. The policy prohibits the consultant from providing services of any nature to Raytheon officers and directors personally. In addition, the consultant may not provide to Raytheon advice related to executive and director compensation, employee compensation or employee benefits, other than the advice provided to the MDCC with respect to executive compensation and other matters within the MDCC’s scope of responsibilities, and advice provided to the Governance and Nominating Committee with respect to director compensation. In addition, the policy and the MDCC’s charter require the MDCC to consider all relevant factors specified by NYSE standards when selecting a compensation committee adviser. The MDCC assessed FW Cook’s independence in light of these requirements upon initial retainment in 2016 and annually (most recently in November 2019), and determined that in all instances FW Cook is independent and that the firm’s work does not raise any conflicts of interest.

The MDCC is required to pre-approve any non-MDCC services that its compensation consultant proposes to provide to Raytheon. As a guideline to avoid any actual or perceived conflict of interest or bias, MDCC policy limits the fees paid by Raytheon for such non-MDCC services to no more than 1% of the consulting firm’s annual gross revenues. Other than the services it provided to the MDCC and the Governance and Nominating Committee, FW Cook did not provide any services to Raytheon in 2019.

Management of Compensation-Related Risk
While risk is inherent in many aspects of our business operations, we believe the following features of our compensation program help us appropriately manage compensation-related risk:

We rely on an assortment of vehicles for delivering compensation, both fixed and variable, including cash and equity-based measures with different time horizons, to focus our executives on specific objectives that help us achieve our business plans and create alignment with long-term shareholder interests.
Compensation is based on a combination of appropriately weighted performance measures so that executives focus on the business as a whole rather than individual metrics.
Performance-based awards are capped to prevent undue efforts to surpass the target for any particular measure.
Incentive compensation for the NEOs is based on individual performance and Raytheon’s overall performance, not the performance of specific business units only.

44


The MDCC adheres to stringent guidelines when retaining a compensation consultant.
Our clawback policy provides a means to recover certain cash and equity incentive compensation awarded in reliance on erroneous financial statements substantially caused by an executive’s knowing or intentionally fraudulent or illegal conduct.
Our equity grant policies ensure that equity awards are granted only on the dates of regularly-scheduled Board meetings, and not on dates that are tied to the release of material information.
The NEOs (as well as all of our directors and executive officers) must comply with rigorous stock ownership and retention guidelines.

The MDCC has reviewed with management the design and operation of our incentive compensation arrangements for all employees, including executive officers, for the purpose of determining whether such programs might encourage inappropriate risk-taking that would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Raytheon. The MDCC concluded that Raytheon’s compensation plans, programs and policies, considered as a whole, including applicable risk-mitigation features, are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Raytheon.

Retirement Benefits and Deferred Compensation
Retirement Benefits
Retirement benefits fulfill an important role within our overall executive compensation program because they provide an element of financial security that promotes retention. Our retirement program, including the amount of benefit, is comparable to those offered by the companies in our peer groups and, as a result, ensures that our executive compensation remains competitive.

We maintain three broad-based retirement plans:

the Raytheon Savings and Investment Plan (RAYSIP), a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan (401(k) plan) in which our executive officers are eligible to participate in the same manner as substantially all other employees;
tax-qualified, defined benefit pension plans in which executive officers who joined us before December 31, 2006 are eligible to participate; and
the Retirement Income Savings Program (RISP) within RAYSIP, a tax-qualified defined contribution plan for employees who joined us after December 31, 2006.

We also sponsor certain nonqualified retirement plans, including:

the Raytheon Parity Pension Plan, a nonqualified excess pension plan that provides benefits that would have been provided to a participant under the tax-qualified pension plan but for compensation and benefit limits imposed under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC); and
the Raytheon Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP), a nonqualified plan for eligible senior executives, including our NEOs, designed to replicate, but not exceed, the retirement benefit that a mid-career person joining Raytheon would have achieved under the qualified and excess pension plans had such person begun his or her career with Raytheon.
Mr. Kennedy will not receive a payment under the SERP because his pension benefits under the formula in our qualified and excess pension plans exceed the maximum 50% of final average earnings that the SERP would provide in connection with a retirement. Our other NEOs could be eligible for SERP benefits, depending on when they retire.
Each of our retirement plans is described in more detail under the heading “Pension Benefits.”

Deferred Compensation Plan
We maintain the Raytheon Deferred Compensation Plan under which employees, including our NEOs, who are projected to reach the IRC compensation limit may elect to defer between 3% and 50% of their salary in excess of the limit and between 3% and 90% of their annual RBI plan awards, and receive tax-deferred returns on those deferrals. We make a matching contribution of up to 4% of deferrable compensation. For more information on our Deferred Compensation Plan, see “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation.”

Severance Pay Arrangements
Executive Severance Guidelines and Offer Letters
Our employees, including our NEOs, are employees at-will; they do not have long-term employment contracts with Raytheon. Upon execution of the Merger Agreement, Mr. Kennedy entered into an employment agreement with UTC. See “Employment Agreement with Thomas A. Kennedy.” The at-will employment status of our employees affords us the necessary flexibility to separate employees when appropriate. However, in order to attract and retain highly-qualified executives who may otherwise desire the protection of long-term employment contracts, we offer specified benefits under our executive severance guidelines and under certain NEO offer letters. We changed our severance guidelines in 2010 to reduce the benefits provided under them. For our CEO and our executive officers who were first elected before January 1, 2010, these benefits provide for the continuation of base salary and health and welfare benefits for two years, and a payment equal to two times target annual incentive award. Officers first elected on or after January 1, 2010 (other than an officer in the CEO role) would receive continuation of base salary and health and welfare benefits for one year, and a payment equal to the target annual incentive award. In 2017, the MDCC amended our executive severance guidelines to require, subject to applicable law, compliance with certain post-termination restrictive covenants (including non-competition and non-solicitation) to receive severance payments In addition, certain Raytheon pension plans provide for continued pension benefits following severance. For more information, see “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”

Change-in-Control Agreements
Separate from our executive severance guidelines, we have change-in-control agreements with all of our executive officers. Upon completion of the Merger, Mr. Kennedy’s change-in-control agreement will be superseded by his employment agreement with UTC. For more information, see “Employment Agreement with Thomas A. Kennedy.” Changes in corporate control are often accompanied by changes in the corporate culture and job losses, especially at executive levels. If a transaction affecting corporate control of Raytheon were under consideration, we expect that our executives would naturally be faced with personal uncertainties and may be distracted by concerns regarding how the transaction might affect their continued employment. By entering into change-in-control agreements before any specific transaction is contemplated, we hope to focus our executives’ full attention and dedication on our shareholders’ best interests, despite any potential or pending change in control, and to encourage our executives to stay with Raytheon until any such transaction is completed. The Merger will constitute a change-in-control under these agreements.
Our change-in-control agreements provide a meaningful severance benefit if a change in control occurs and, within the following 24 months, the executive is either terminated without cause or resigns due to a material reduction in compensation or a material change in job duties without the executive’s consent. These agreements are not intended to confer a windfall on our executives occasioned by a change in control. The agreements provide for a “double trigger,” such that an executive would only receive benefits upon a qualifying termination - not simply upon a change in control. Our change-in-control agreements provide for post-termination benefits as a multiple of the executive’s most recent base salary. That multiple depends upon the executive’s position with Raytheon and date of hire. In 2013, we revised our change-in-control agreement guidelines to decrease this multiple from three to two for certain officers, including business presidents, and two to one for certain other officers, including our chief financial officer. These revised guidelines apply to officers first hired or appointed as an officer after August 1, 2013. Our executive severance guidelines and offer letters described above do not apply to a qualifying termination following a change in control, so there would be no duplication of benefits.
Our change-in-control and severance arrangements, including benefit amounts and the conditions under which they are triggered, are comparable to those provided by the companies in our peer groups. For more information on our executive severance guidelines and the terms of our change-in-control agreements, see “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”

Raytheon Enhanced Severance Plan for Senior Leadership Team Members
In addition to their Raytheon change-in-control agreements, Mr. O’Brien, and two other executive officers who are not NEOs, participate in the Raytheon Enhanced Severance Plan for Senior Leadership Team Members (the Raytheon Severance Plan). The participants in the Raytheon Severance Plan have Raytheon change-in-control agreements that provide for a one-times severance multiple and one year of benefits, which are less than the other executive officers’ benefits under their Raytheon change-in-control agreements. All of these change-in-control agreements pre-dated the execution of the Merger Agreement. The purpose of the Raytheon Severance Plan is to ensure that, in the event of a qualifying termination of employment on or following the Merger, the participants receive benefits comparable to those received by the majority of the other executive officers, so that the various members of the Senior Leadership Team are treated consistently and each Senior Leadership Team Member receives a level of benefits appropriate for his or her position with Raytheon. The Raytheon Severance Plan provides that, upon a termination of a participating executive’s employment by Raytheon under the same conditions that would trigger payment under the executive’s Raytheon change-in-control agreement, the executive will be entitled to the following payments and benefits in addition to the payments and benefits due to such executive under the executive’s Raytheon change-in-control agreement, subject to the executive officer’s execution of a release of claims in favor of Raytheon:

A lump sum cash severance payment on the date that is six months following the termination of employment equal to the sum of the executive officer’s base salary plus the executive officer’s target annual bonus for the year in which the termination of employment occurs; and
Benefits pursuant to all medical, dental and vision plans under which the executive officer and the executive officer’s family are eligible to receive benefits or coverage as of the Merger and employer-paid life insurance, with such life insurance equal to either (a) the executive officer’s final annual base pay, or (b) if so elected by the executive officer, $50,000, in each case, for one additional year and at the same premium cost as in effect immediately prior to the termination of employment.

Neither the Raytheon change-in-control agreements nor the Raytheon Severance Plan provide for any gross-up with respect to any excise tax imposed by Section 280G of the IRC. The Raytheon Severance Plan provides that in the event that any payment under the Raytheon Severance Plan would be subject to the excise tax, then such payment will either be delivered to the participant in full or delivered in such amount that no portion of the payment would be subject to the excise tax, whichever results in a greater benefit to the participant on an after-tax basis.

Employment Agreement with Thomas A. Kennedy
Upon execution of the Merger Agreement, Thomas A. Kennedy, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Raytheon, entered into an employment agreement with UTC (the Kennedy Employment Agreement), which will become effective upon completion of the Merger. The term of the Kennedy Employment Agreement will continue for two years after the completion of the Merger, subject to the earlier termination of Mr. Kennedy’s employment. Pursuant to the Kennedy Employment Agreement, Mr. Kennedy will serve as the Executive Chairman of the combined company and a member of the board of directors of the combined company commencing at the completion of the Merger.
During the term of the Kennedy Employment Agreement, Mr. Kennedy will receive an annual base salary of $1,540,864, subject to increase from time to time, a target bonus opportunity of 200% of base salary, and annual equity awards with an aggregate target grant date value equal to or greater than $10.5 million. For 2020 (the year in which the completion of the Merger is expected to occur), Mr. Kennedy will receive a bonus determined for the pre-Merger period based on Raytheon’s performance from January 1 of such year through the completion of the Merger and for the post-Merger completion period based on the performance goals established by the compensation committee of the board of directors of the combined company for the portion of the year after the completion of the Merger (or based on the greater of target and the actual performance factor applicable to the pre-Merger completion period to the extent that no such goals are established). Under the Kennedy Employment Agreement, Mr. Kennedy is subject to a perpetual confidentiality covenant, a one-year post-termination non-competition covenant, and a two-year post-termination customer and employee non-solicitation covenant.
Upon Mr. Kennedy’s termination of employment during the term of the Kennedy Employment Agreement by UTC without cause (as defined in the Kennedy Employment Agreement) or by Mr. Kennedy for good reason (as defined in the Kennedy Employment Agreement), Mr. Kennedy will be entitled to receive (subject to execution of a release of claims in favor of UTC): (1) a lump sum cash severance payment equal to three times the sum of (a) his annual base salary and (b) the greater of his actual annual bonus for the fiscal year immediately prior to the year in which the Merger occurs and his annual target bonus for the year of termination of employment; (2) a prorated target annual bonus for the year of termination of employment; (3) treatment of his termination of employment as a retirement for purposes of the terms and conditions of his outstanding UTC equity awards granted after the Merger, and waiver of any minimum holding period that would otherwise apply as a condition to vesting upon retirement; and (4) up to 12 months of healthcare benefit coverage continuation at no premium cost to him. For purposes of Mr. Kennedy’s outstanding equity awards that were granted prior to the Merger, such a termination would be treated as an “involuntary termination” resulting in accelerated vesting of such awards in accordance with their terms.

47


Mr. Kennedy has agreed in the Kennedy Employment Agreement that for purposes of his equity awards, neither the Merger nor the related changes in his responsibilities and role following the Merger will constitute an “involuntary termination” pursuant to his equity award agreements.

Pursuant to the terms of the Kennedy Employment Agreement, Mr. Kennedy is not entitled to any tax gross-up for any excise tax imposed under Sections 280G and 4999 of the IRC. In the event that any payment to Mr. Kennedy would be subject to the excise tax, then such payment will either be delivered to Mr. Kennedy in full or delivered in such amount that no portion of the payment would be subject to the excise tax, whichever results in a greater benefit to Mr. Kennedy on an after-tax basis.

Compensation Policies
Stock Ownership and Retention Guidelines
To reinforce our culture and expectation of long-term share ownership, we have implemented the stock ownership guidelines set out below for our elected officers. These guidelines are designed to ensure sustained, meaningful executive share ownership, align executives’ long-term interests with shareholder interests, and demonstrate our officers’ commitment to enhancing long-term shareholder value. The MDCC and the Governance and Nominating Committee regularly review the required ownership levels, as well as attainment of these ownership levels, by our elected officers. Executives have five years from the date on which they became subject to the guidelines to attain the requisite level of ownership, and may not dispose of Raytheon stock until the requisite ownership level is satisfied. As of December 31, 2019, each of our NEOs with five or more years of service had met or exceeded the applicable stock ownership requirements.

Policy Against Certain Raytheon Stock Transactions
To ensure alignment with the long-term interests of our other shareholders, Raytheon’s Insider Trading Policy provides that our officers, as well as other employees and non-employee directors, may not engage in:

Short sales of Raytheon stock or transactions in any derivative of a Raytheon security, including puts, calls and options (other than the receipt and exercise of options that might be granted pursuant to a Raytheon compensation plan);
Any type of hedging or similar monetization transaction involving Raytheon securities, including financial instruments such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds; or
Other transactions that would permit the holder to own Raytheon securities without the full risks and rewards of ownership.

In addition, Raytheon’s Insider Trading Policy provides that our officers, certain other employees, and directors are prohibited from purchasing any Raytheon securities on margin, making any investments on margin in any account in which they hold Raytheon securities, or otherwise pledging Raytheon securities as collateral for a loan.

Restatement Clawback Policy
Our executives’ compensation is subject to a Restatement Clawback Policy, which gives the Board the right to recover RBI payments, LTPP awards and restricted stock awards made on or after January 1, 2009, to any executive to the extent such payments or awards were inflated due to erroneous financial statements substantially caused by the executive’s knowing or intentionally fraudulent or illegal conduct.


48


Tax Considerations
Under Section 162(m) of the IRC, there is a limit of $1 million on the amount of compensation that we may deduct in any one year with respect to compensation paid to certain of our NEOs. Prior to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, the Section 162(m) limitation applied to compensation paid to our CEO and the three other highest paid executive officers (other than the chief financial officer) to the extent such compensation did not otherwise qualify as performance-based compensation. The MDCC has historically determined that compensation paid pursuant to LTPP awards should generally be structured to be tax-deductible, and has operated the LTPP intending to comply with the Section 162(m) exemption.

The performance-based compensation exemption and the exemption of the chief financial officer from Section 162(m)’s deduction limit have been repealed, among other changes, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, such that compensation paid to our covered executive officers in excess of $1 million will not be deductible unless it qualified for transition relief applicable to certain arrangements in place as of November 2, 2017. The rules and regulations promulgated under Section 162(m) are complicated and the scope of the transition relief under the legislation repealing Section 162(m)’s performance-based compensation exemption from the deduction limit is uncertain. As such, there can be no guarantee that compensation intended to satisfy the requirements for tax deductibility in fact will. While deductibility of executive compensation for federal income tax purposes is among the factors the MDCC considers when structuring our executive compensation, it is not the sole or primary factor considered. Our Board and the MDCC retain the flexibility to authorize compensation that may not be deductible if they believe it is in our best interests.

Management Development and Compensation Committee Report
The Management Development and Compensation Committee is composed entirely of independent directors. The MDCC has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K. Based on such review and discussions, the Committee approved the inclusion of the Compensation Discussion and Analysis in the Company’s Form 10-K/A.

Amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair values of long-term equity incentive awards under the Long-Term Performance Plan (LTPP), awarded in the form of restricted stock units (RSUs), and either time-based restricted stock or, for retirement-eligible NEOs who have attained the age of 60 with at least ten years of service with Raytheon, time-based 60/10 RSUs. Our 2019 NEO stock awards were as follows:

The grant date fair values are calculated in accordance with the accounting standard for share-based payments. Performance-based RSUs under our LTPP are subject to both internal performance metrics (CFCF and ROIC) and market-based performance conditions (TSR). Values for the CFCF and ROIC portions of the awards are adjusted for the probability of achievement and computed based on the stock price on the date of grant and the number of shares (the intrinsic value method). Values for the TSR portion of the awards are based upon the Monte Carlo simulation method. Values for time-based restricted stock awards and time-based RSUs are based on the intrinsic value method on the date of grant. For more information on the assumptions we used to calculate the grant date fair values for restricted stock, RSUs and LTPP awards, see “Note 13: Stock-based Compensation Plans” to our financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed with the SEC on February 12, 2020 (hereinafter our 2019 Form 10-K).

The values of the 2019-2021 LTPP awards on the grant date, assuming the highest level of performance conditions will be achieved during the three-year performance cycle, are as follows: Mr. Kennedy - $11,188,978; Mr. O’Brien - $3,498,935; Mr. Wajsgras - $2,770,523; Mr. Kremer - $2,770,523; and Mr. Azevedo - $2,237,917.

Represents amounts earned pursuant to annual cash incentive awards under our Results-Based Incentive (RBI) plan for 2019, 2018, and 2017 but which were paid in 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.

50


(3)
Amounts represent the aggregate change in the actuarial present value of each NEO’s accumulated benefit under all defined benefit and pension plans (including supplemental plans) from the end of the preceding year to the end of the reported year. Generally, these amounts represent the change in value of the NEO’s benefit due to an additional year of service, changes in compensation, and changes in the discount rate. The amounts were computed using the same assumptions we used for financial reporting purposes under the accounting standard for employers’ accounting for pensions. Actual amounts paid under our plans are based on assumptions contained in the plans, which may be different from the assumptions used for financial statement reporting purposes. None of the NEOs received any earnings on their deferred compensation based on above-market or preferential rates.
(4)
All Other Compensation amounts include the following items that exceeded $10,000 in a particular category for an NEO in 2019. Items in a particular category for an NEO that were $10,000 or less have not been included.

(a)
Each NEO is entitled to receive certain limited perquisites. For 2019, each NEO received certain items related to attendance at employee events and certain travel and incidental expenses relating to his spouse or family attending Raytheon-related events at our request. All NEOs, except for Mr. Azevedo, also received financial planning services. The amounts for Messrs. Kennedy and O’Brien also include personal use of Raytheon aircraft ($463,209 and $16,366, respectively). Mr. Kennedy’s amount also includes personal use of a company-provided car and driver. Mr. Kremer’s amount also includes $53,360 of relocation benefits under our key employee relocation policy.
We require Mr. Kennedy generally to use Raytheon aircraft for all air travel, including for personal purposes, for security and personal safety reasons. Our incremental cost for the personal use of corporate aircraft was calculated by multiplying the number of personal travel hours for an aircraft by that aircraft’s average variable hourly operating cost (including fuel, aircraft maintenance, landing, parking, catering and certain taxes and other miscellaneous fees and costs, but excluding fixed costs such as pilots’ and other employees’ salaries, aircraft purchase price and certain hangar expenses). In determining the number of personal travel hours, we did not include the flight time of any “deadhead” flight (e.g., a return flight on which no passenger was aboard). For trips that involved mixed personal and business usage, we determined the total variable cost attributable to personal use by subtracting the total variable cost of a “business-only” trip from the total variable cost of the whole trip (both personal and business). Based on our average variable operating cost per hour (as derived above), deadhead flights (not included in the foregoing amounts) would have amounted to an additional $77,397 for Mr. Kennedy and $2,575 for Mr. O’Brien.
Mr. Kennedy frequently travels in Raytheon-provided vehicles operated by Raytheon drivers for business and personal (primarily commuting) purposes for security and personal safety reasons. To determine our incremental cost for Mr. Kennedy’s personal use of a company-provided car and driver, we allocated our total annual costs for the vehicle and driver based on the total vehicle miles in the year and the miles driven for personal purposes, and the total driver hours worked and the hours of driving for personal purposes. In addition, the NEOs have access to certain Raytheon vehicles and drivers for various corporate purposes that also may be used in limited circumstances for uses that may have a personal element.
(b)
Messrs. Kennedy, O’Brien, Wajsgras, Kremer and Azevedo received tax gross-up payments relating to imputed income as a result of the NEO’s spouse attending Raytheon-related events at our request. Mr. Kremer also received tax gross-up payments relating to imputed income as a result of relocation benefits. Consistent with prior years, Messrs. Kennedy and O’Brien did not receive any tax gross-ups for individual personal use of Raytheon aircraft.
(c)
Amounts represent the total amount of Raytheon contributions to qualified and nonqualified defined contribution plans. We make a 4% matching contribution to our NEOs’ compensation deferred under our qualified Raytheon Savings and Investment Plan (RAYSIP) 401(k) Plan and under our nonqualified, unfunded Deferred Compensation Plan. The Deferred Compensation Plan matching contributions include our matching contribution for deferred 2019 RBI compensation earned in 2019 but paid in March 2020.
(d)
Amounts represent the total value of Raytheon-paid insurance premiums, including for basic life, senior executive life, executive liability, and business travel and accident insurance policies.
(5)
Amounts represent lump-sum payments to Mr. Wajsgras in lieu of base salary merit increases.
(6)
Mr. Kennedy’s change in pension value in 2019 was primarily due to increased service, as defined in the Raytheon Non-Bargaining Retirement Plan, and age. Mr. Kennedy’s change in pension value in 2017 and 2018 was primarily driven by his increased average compensation for the most recent five-year period as defined in the Raytheon Non-Bargaining Retirement Plan. The 2018 change is due to the replacement of his 2013 compensation with his CEO-level 2018 compensation.

(1)
Amounts represent the threshold, target and maximum payout opportunities under the 2019 RBI Plan, Raytheon’s annual cash incentive plan. RBI payout opportunities range from zero to 200% of an individual’s target.
(2)
Amounts represent the threshold, target and maximum payout opportunities pursuant to 2019-2021 LTPP performance-based RSU awards. LTPP payout opportunities range from zero to 200% of target. Amounts do not include accrued dividend equivalents.
(3)
Amounts represent time-based restricted stock awards and/or time-based RSU awards.
(4)
Amounts represent the grant date fair value of awards of restricted stock and RSUs granted in 2019 in accordance with the accounting standard for share-based payments. Values for awards of time-based restricted stock and RSUs are based on the stock price on the date of grant and the number of shares (the intrinsic value method). Performance-based RSUs under our LTPP are subject to both internal performance metrics (CFCF and ROIC) and market-based performance conditions (TSR). Values for the CFCF and ROIC portions of the awards are adjusted for the probability of achievement and computed based upon the intrinsic value method on the date of grant, while the values for the TSR portion of the awards are based upon the Monte Carlo simulation method. Values of time-based restricted stock awards and performance-based LTPP RSU awards are generally expensed over the NEO’s requisite service period—generally the vesting period of the awards. The 60/10 RSUs continue to vest into retirement, and are generally expensed in the period in which they are granted rather than over the vesting period of the awards.
(5)
Amounts represent awards of 60/10 RSUs to a retirement-eligible employee who has attained the age of 60 with at least ten years of service with Raytheon. These 60/10 RSUs continue to vest (but do not accelerate) on the scheduled vesting dates even after the employee retires, so long as the employee complies with certain post-employment covenants.

(1)
Amounts represent time-based restricted stock awards and, for retirement-eligible NEOs who have attained the age of 60 with at least ten years of service with Raytheon, time-based restricted stock units (60/10 RSUs). Restricted stock awards and 60/10 RSUs vest in three equal tranches on each of the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date. Restricted stock awards vest only if the recipient remains employed with Raytheon on the scheduled vesting dates. The 60/10 RSUs continue to vest (but do not accelerate) as scheduled, even after the employee retires, so long as the employee complies with certain post-employment covenants.
(2)
Amounts are equal to $219.74, the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on December 31, 2019, multiplied by the number of unvested shares or units.
(3)
Amounts assume 2018-2020 LTPP and 2019-2021 LTPP payouts, plus dividend equivalents, at target performance paid in shares of stock. LTPP awards vest at the end of the applicable three-year performance cycle if certain performance goals are attained and the executive remains employed by Raytheon. These awards may be settled in shares of our common stock or cash, at the MDCC’s discretion. The actual number of shares issued or cash paid upon settlement will depend on the extent to which we attained or exceeded the performance goals, and include dividend equivalents accrued over the three-year performance cycle. Amounts exclude 2017-2019 LTPP awards, the cycle for which ended on December 31, 2019; these are included in the “Stock Vested” table.

Valuation and Material Assumptions - Pension Benefits
Benefits are valued at the age when the NEO is first eligible for unreduced benefits, discounted to the NEO’s current age with interest, and are based upon current levels of compensation. In addition, we have assumed no pre-retirement mortality, disability or termination. All other assumptions, including the discount rates for 2019 of 3.30% for the Raytheon Company Pension Plan for Salaried Employees (Salaried Pension Plan), Raytheon Parity Pension Plan, and Raytheon Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP), and 3.25% for the Raytheon Non-Bargaining Retirement Plan, are consistent with those used to determine our pension obligations under the accounting standard for employers’ accounting for pensions in our 2019 Form 10-K. For a discussion of our discount rate assumptions, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Estimates - Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Costs-FAS Expense” in our 2019 Form 10-K. An executive’s benefit under the SERP is assumed to be zero until the executive first becomes eligible for such benefit.

Plan and NEO Participant(s)
 
Description and Material Terms and Conditions
Salaried Pension Plan
Messrs. O’Brien, Wajsgras, Kremer and Azevedo
 
The Salaried Pension Plan is a non-contributory pension plan in which most of our executive officers who joined us before January 1, 2007, are eligible to participate. The plan is Raytheon-funded and since 1981 has not permitted employee contributions. Benefits under the plan are a percentage of final average compensation based on the following formula, reduced by the same percentage of the employee’s estimated primary Social Security benefit: 1.8% for each of the first 20 years of credited service; and 1.2% for each year of credited service thereafter. Final average compensation is the average of the 60 highest consecutive months of compensation in the final 120 months of employment, and includes base salary and annual cash incentive awards. The normal retirement age under the plan is 65. Employees who are at least age 55 with at least 10 years of service can retire with reduced benefits. There is no reduction for employees who retire at age 60 or older with at least 10 years of service. The standard form of benefit for married participants is a 50% joint and survivor annuity. The standard form of benefit for single participants is a single-life annuity. Both married and single participants can elect actuarially equivalent alternative forms of payment, including a 10-year certain and continuous benefit and joint and survivor annuities of 50%, 66-2/3%, 75% and 100%.
Non-Bargaining Retirement Plan
Mr. Kennedy
 
The Non-Bargaining Retirement Plan covers most of the people who became Raytheon employees when Raytheon merged with Hughes Aircraft in 1997. The contributory part of the Non-Bargaining Retirement Plan requires employee contributions of 3% of covered earnings. Except for these employee contributions, the Non-Bargaining Retirement Plan is Raytheon-funded. For each year of credited service, the pension under the contributory part of the Non-Bargaining Retirement Plan is 1.75% of the employee’s final average compensation for each year of credited service, reduced by 1.5% of the employee’s Social Security benefit estimated to be payable at age 65. The offset under the second part of that formula is limited to 50% of the Social Security benefit. Final average compensation under the Non-Bargaining Retirement Plan is the average of compensation in the highest five 12-month periods out of the last ten 12-month periods of employment, and includes base salary and annual cash incentive awards. If both of the following requirements are satisfied, an employee will be entitled immediately to 100% of the pension otherwise payable at age 65: (1) the employee’s age at termination of Raytheon employment is at least 55; and (2) the employee’s age plus continuous service (both measured in full years) is at least 75. If both of these requirements are not satisfied, a pension beginning before the employee reaches age 65 will be reduced for early commencement. The standard form of benefit for married participants is a 50% joint and survivor annuity. The standard form of benefit for single participants is a single-life annuity. Both married and single participants can elect actuarially equivalent alternative forms of payment, including a 5-, 10- or 15-year certain and continuous benefit, joint and survivor annuities of 50%, 66-2/3%, 75% and 100%, and payments over a specified period of 5, 10 or 15 years. The retiree benefit from the contributory part of the Non-Bargaining Retirement Plan is subject to an annual cost-of-living adjustment.

Nonqualified Plans
Plan and NEO Participant(s)
 
Description and Material Terms and Conditions
Parity Pension Plan
All NEOs
 
The Parity Pension Plan is a separate unfunded plan that provides to participants in our qualified pension plans the benefits that would have been provided by the qualified plan but for the U.S. IRC limit on the amount of annual compensation that may be taken into account by qualified plans in determining benefits ($280,000 for 2019) and the IRC limit on annual benefits from a qualified plan ($225,000 for 2019). The principal features of the Parity Pension Plan for any particular employee are generally the same as the features of the qualified plan in which that employee participates, except that the Parity Pension Plan is not subject to the IRC compensation and benefit limits, the gross Parity Pension Plan benefit is offset by the qualified plan benefit, and the forms of payment under the Parity Pension Plan are subject to certain IRC restrictions.
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
All NEOs
 
The SERP is a separate unfunded plan available to our NEOs and certain other senior executives. The plan provides a pension of 35% of final average compensation after ten years of service and age 55, increasing by 3% of final average compensation for every additional year of service up to a maximum of 50% of final average compensation. Amounts payable under this plan will be offset by amounts payable under our other pension plans, any prior employer plan, and Social Security.


56


Years of Credited Service
The number of years of credited service for each NEO, as reported in the above table for plans other than the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, is less than his actual service. Mr. Kennedy (actual service of 36.67 years) did not contribute to the Non-Bargaining Retirement Plan for a period of time. Messrs. O’Brien, Wajsgras, Kremer and Azevedo (actual service of 33.50, 13.81, 16.91 and 30.67 years, respectively) were subject to a required period of employment before service credit accrual began under the Salaried Pension Plan. In addition, the years of credited service do not include any additional service credit under change-in-control agreements.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
The following table provides information regarding contributions, earnings, and account balances under the Deferred Compensation Plana nonqualified, unfunded plan that provides for pretax deferrals. Eligible employees may elect to defer 3-50% of their salary over the IRC compensation limit applicable to qualified plans ($280,000 in 2019), and to defer 3-90% of their RBI compensation earned in the current year but paid in the following year. Raytheon makes a matching contribution of up to 4% of deferrable compensation. Each employee determines how his plan account is invested among the plan’s investment options (subject to applicable trading restrictions on investments in the plan’s Raytheon stock fund). Distribution of an employee’s plan account is made in a lump sum or annual installments following termination of employment. There were no withdrawals or distributions from the Deferred Compensation Plan to any of our NEOs in 2019.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
The following is a summary of the potential incremental payments and benefits that the NEOs would receive upon termination of their employment under certain circumstances pursuant to our cash severance guidelines, pension, benefit and stock plans, and certain NEO offer letters. This summary is not necessarily indicative of any actual amounts that Mr. O’Brien may receive in connection with any qualifying termination which may occur on or following the Merger, which amounts will depend on the timing and circumstances of such termination and would be determined in accordance with the terms of the Raytheon Enhanced Severance Plan for Senior Leadership Team Members. For more information, see “Raytheon Enhanced Severance Plan for Senior Leadership Team Members.”

Cash Severance and Health and Welfare Benefits. We have Executive Severance Guidelines and certain of our NEOs have offer letters that provide for cash severance payments and health and welfare benefits continuation in the event of an involuntary termination without cause. We amended these guidelines effective January 1, 2010, to reduce such payments and benefits for new executives on a prospective basis. Mr. Wajsgras is grandfathered under our prior Executive Severance Guidelines. Mr. Kennedy receives a higher payment under the Executive Severance Guidelines because he is the CEO. In July 2017, the MDCC further amended these guidelines to require, subject to applicable law, compliance with certain post-termination restrictive covenants (including non-competition and non-solicitation) to receive severance payments.

Pension Benefits. In the event of an involuntary termination without cause, NEOs participating in the Salaried Pension Plan (Messrs. O’Brien, Wajsgras, Kremer and Azevedo) would receive continuation of service credit while collecting severance benefits, plus one year. These benefits do not apply to Mr. Kennedy, who participates in the Non-Bargaining Retirement Plan.


58


Long-Term Incentives. Upon a termination due to death, each NEO’s restricted stock awards would vest. Upon termination due to disability, each NEO’s restricted stock awards would continue to vest on the scheduled vesting dates. Upon a qualifying termination within 24 months after a change in control in which the successor assumes, continues or substitutes LTPP awards, each NEO would receive an LTPP payment based on either target performance or a combination of actual completed and target performance, depending on the date of the change in control. If the successor does not assume, continue or substitute LTPP awards, then each NEO would receive immediate payment assuming target performance for the full performance period as long as the award is not deemed to constitute nonqualified deferred compensation. In the event of termination due to death, disability or retirement, an NEO would receive a prorated LTPP payment based on service completed through the termination date and based on Raytheon’s actual performance, as long as the NEO (in the event of disability or retirement) complies with certain covenants for awards beginning with the 2018-2020 LTPP program. As of December 31, 2019, Messrs. Kennedy, O’Brien, Wajsgras and Azevedo were retirement-eligible and Mr. Kremer was not retirement-eligible. In all other termination scenarios, the NEO would forfeit all unvested long-term equity incentive awards, except that 60/10 RSUs (which are granted to retirement-eligible employees who have attained the age of 60 with at least ten years of service with Raytheon and are held by Mr. Kennedy) would continue to vest on the scheduled vesting dates into retirement so long as the NEO complies with certain covenants. Amounts in the table below for Mr. Kennedy reflect this continued vesting.

Change-in-Control Agreements. We have entered into change-in-control agreements with our executive officers. Pursuant to these agreements, upon a qualifying termination after a change in control, each of our NEOs except Messrs. O’Brien, Kremer and Azevedo would receive a cash payment of three times the NEO’s base salary; a cash payment of three times the NEO’s target RBI cash award (or, if greater, the actual RBI cash award for the prior year); special supplemental retirement benefits determined as if the NEO had three years of additional credited service as of the date of termination; and three years of health, welfare and retirement plan benefits. We revised our change-in-control agreement guidelines in 2013. Messrs. O’Brien, Kremer and Azevedo were elected to their roles after this revision and would receive the same benefits in a multiple of one (for Mr. O’Brien) and two (for Messrs. Kremer and Azevedo) instead of three. The following is a summary of the potential incremental payments and benefits that the NEOs may receive under certain circumstances in connection with a change in control pursuant to their change-in-control agreements and other plans and agreements.
 
Change-in-Control Event

Plan or Arrangement
Treatment or Benefit
Cash
Change-in-Control Agreement
Upon a qualifying termination* within 24 months after a change in control, each NEO would receive a cash payment of three times base salary plus three times target RBI award (or, if greater, the actual RBI cash award for the prior year), except for Mr. O’Brien, who would receive an amount equal to one times his base salary and RBI, and Messrs. Kremer and Azevedo, who would receive an amount equal to two times their base salary and RBI. Each executive also would receive an amount equal to the prorated unpaid target RBI award for the year in which the change in control occurs.
Pension
Change-in-Control Agreement
Upon a qualifying termination within 24 months after a change in control, each NEO would receive special supplemental retirement benefits based on three more years of credited service, except for Mr. O’Brien, whose benefits would be based on one more year of service, and Messrs. Kremer and Azevedo, whose benefits would be based on two more years of service.
Health and Welfare
Change-in-Control Agreement
Upon a qualifying termination within 24 months after a change in control, each NEO would receive three years of benefits continuation, except for Mr. O’Brien, who would receive one year of benefits, and Messrs. Kremer and Azevedo, who would receive two years of benefits.
Unvested Restricted Stock
2019 Stock Plan and applicable restricted stock and 60/10 RSU award agreements
Upon a qualifying termination within 24 months after a change in control, each NEO’s unvested restricted stock and 60/10 RSUs would vest.

59


Unvested LTPP
LTPP award agreements
For our 2018-2020 and 2019-2021 LTPP awards, upon a qualifying termination within 24 months after a change in control in which awards are assumed, continued or substituted, each NEO would receive an LTPP payment for the full outstanding performance period, depending on the change-in-control date. For each performance cycle, if the change in control occurs within the first year of the performance cycle, the award would be based on target performance for the three years. If the change in control occurs after the first year of the performance cycle, the award would be based on a combination of actual completed performance and target performance. If the successor does not assume, continue or substitute awards, then each NEO would receive immediate payment assuming target performance for the full performance period as long as the award is not deemed to constitute nonqualified deferred compensation.
*
A qualifying termination is either an involuntary termination without cause or voluntary departure for good reason (i.e., a material reduction in compensation or a material change in the executive’s job duties without his consent), in each case within 24 months after a change in control.

The tables below report compensation payable to each NEO upon a hypothetical involuntary not-for-cause termination; a qualifying termination following a change in control assuming equity awards are assumed, continued or substituted in connection with the change in control; and termination due to disability, death and retirement; in each case as if the event happened on December 31, 2019. For a qualifying termination following a change in control, no pro-rata RBI would be payable, given that the NEO would be entitled to an RBI award for the completed portion of the year. We do not describe or report amounts for plans or arrangements that do not discriminate in scope, terms or operation in favor of our executive officers and that are generally available to all salaried employees. No NEO is entitled to receive compensation reportable in these tables upon a voluntary resignation (except for good reason following a change in control) or involuntary for-cause termination.

(1)
RBI calculations for purposes of a change-in-control event are based on actual 2018 RBI cash awards because they were greater than target 2019 RBI awards.
(2)
Pension benefits are calculated assuming a 3.30% discount rate for the Raytheon Company Pension Plan for Salaried Employees, the Raytheon Parity Pension Plan, and the Raytheon Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, and a 3.25% discount rate for the Raytheon Non-Bargaining Retirement Plan, as of 2019 fiscal year-end, assuming the executive commenced the benefit as soon as possible following separation from service.
(3)
Health and Welfare Benefit calculations are based on the estimated annual company cost of the benefits programs in which the executive was enrolled as of December 31, 2019.
(4)
Equity values are determined based on the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2019 ($219.74) and equity holdings as of December 31, 2019. Amounts representing LTPP payments assume target performance.

CEO PAY RATIO
The following table shows the ratio of our CEO’s 2019 annual total compensation to the median 2019 annual total compensation of our other employees.

Median Employee 2019 Annual Total Compensation
 
2019 Ratio of CEO Pay to Median Employee Pay
$
23,721,407

$
141,123

 
168:1

To identify our median employee, we reviewed the 2019 pay of all our employees other than the CEO located in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia, as of December 31, 2019. As permitted by SEC rules, we excluded from our review all other non-U.S. employees because those individuals, in the aggregate, make up less than 5% of our total employee base as shown below. Independent contractors and other individuals who provide services to Raytheon but whose compensation is determined by an unaffiliated third party were excluded from our determination of the median employee. All employees from companies that Raytheon acquired as of December 31, 2019 were included in our review.

We calculated the annual total compensation of our median employee in the same way we calculate our NEOs’ annual total compensation in the Summary Compensation Table. In 2019, our median employee had a salary of $102,776, and $38,347 in other compensation elements, for annual total compensation of $141,123.

Non-U.S. employees in the following countries were excluded in determining the median employee: Algeria (4 employees); Argentina (3 employees); Austria (5 employees); Belgium (11 employees); Brazil (19 employees); Chile (3 employees); People’s Republic of China (238 employees); Colombia (7 employees); Czech Republic (5 employees); Denmark (4 employees); Egypt (1 employee); Finland (111 employees); France (74 employees); Germany (740 employees); Greece (2 employees); Hong Kong (6 employees); Hungary (10 employees); India (260 employees); Indonesia (5 employees); Ireland (213 employees); Israel (157 employees); Italy (29 employees); Japan (9 employees); Kenya (1 employee); Malaysia (5 employees); Mexico (45 employees); Netherlands (15 employees); New Zealand (3 employees); Norway (2 employees); Oman (12 employees); Panama (14 employees); Peru (2 employees); Philippines (15 employees); Poland (27 employees); Portugal (3 employees); Qatar (9 employees); Republic of Korea (18 employees); Romania (3 employees); Russia (4 employees); Saudi Arabia (156 employees); Singapore (59 employees); Slovakia (1 employee); South Africa (8 employees); Spain (84 employees); Sweden (10 employees); Switzerland (11 employees); Taiwan (27 employees); Thailand (6 employees); Turkey (19 employees); Ukraine (23 employees); and United Arab Emirates (59 employees). Therefore, a total of 2,557 employees, all located outside the U.S., were excluded in determining the median employee. As of December 31, 2019, Raytheon had approximately 72,000 total U.S. and non-U.S. employees, including approximately 2,000 employees on approved leaves of absence.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Determination and Assessment of Non-Employee Director Compensation
The Governance and Nominating Committee annually reviews non-employee director compensation and makes compensation recommendations to the Board for approval. The Committee has identified certain guiding principles relating to such compensation, including:
Average total director compensation should be close to, but generally slightly lagging, the median of our peers. For more information on the core and broader peer groups, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Peer Groups and Market Data”;
Annual director compensation should include a meaningful equity component to promote the alignment of director and shareholder interests from a long-term perspective; and
Individual director compensation should appropriately reflect differing degrees of responsibility and different time commitments.

Independent Compensation Consultant Assessment
In connection with its annual review, the Governance and Nominating Committee considers an assessment provided by the same independent compensation consultant retained by the MDCC for executive compensation purposes. In 2019, FW Cook served as the independent compensation consultant and provided this assessment, which found:
The non-employee director compensation program is competitive with the practices of Raytheon’s executive compensation peers (core and broader peer groups) in terms of magnitude;
Average annual per-director compensation (cash plus equity) approximates the median for non-employee director compensation relative to our peers; and
The structure of the program is generally aligned with peer policy and good governance practices. For more information on the core and broader peer groups, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Peer Groups and Market Data.”

62


2019 Non-Employee Director Compensation
Based on FW Cook’s assessment of the market and market trends, on May 30, 2019, the Governance and Nominating Committee recommended and the Board approved an increase to the annual equity award from $140,000 to $155,000 for all non-employee directors other than the Lead Director and from $191,000 to $206,000 for the Lead Director, to better align with market practice as well as an increase to the annual cash retainer for the chair of the Audit Committee from $20,000 to $25,000 to better reflect the demands of the role. The Governance and Nominating Committee recommended that there be no other changes to non-employee director compensation.

Annual Equity Awards
• All non-employee directors, except Lead Director
$155,000 in restricted stock (approved May 30, 2019)
• Lead Director
$206,000 in restricted stock (approved May 30, 2019)
The equity award is granted upon election and vests as of the next Annual Meeting. Awards are prorated for directors who are elected between Annual Meetings. Directors may elect to receive deferred restricted stock units (RSUs) in lieu of restricted stock.
Meeting Fees for Non-Employee Directors
$1,500 per Board or committee meeting attended
Non-employee directors receive $1,500 for each Board and committee meeting attended. In addition, any non-employee director who is not an Audit Committee member receives a meeting fee for attending the Audit Committee meeting to review the Annual Report on Form 10-K. Directors may elect to defer receipt of their meeting fees until they retire from the Board.
Benefits
• Business travel accident insurance
Up to $1,000,000 of coverage per incident when traveling on Raytheon business.
• Matching gift and charitable awards program
Eligible director gifts are matched up to $10,000 per donor per calendar year under the same program in which all of our employees participate.

Annual Equity Awards
Each non-employee director receives an award of restricted stock unless the director elects to receive deferred RSUs. A director’s shares of restricted stock are entitled to full dividend and voting rights upon issuance. The restricted stock vests on the date of the Annual Meeting of shareholders in the calendar year following the year of grant, or upon the earlier of termination as a director after a change in control of Raytheon, or the director’s death. Except as otherwise provided by the Governance and Nominating Committee, a director who terminates service on the Board for any reason, other than a change in control or death, will forfeit all unvested restricted stock awards. Prorated awards for directors elected between Annual Meetings vest on the date of the next Annual Meeting.

A director’s deferred RSUs vest in accordance with the same terms and conditions as restricted stock, but there is no payout of common stock upon vesting until the earlier of (i) five years from the grant date, (ii) separation from service as a board member, (iii) a change in control of Raytheon, or (iv) the director’s death. There are no voting rights associated with the RSUs. A dividend equivalent amount is paid on RSUs upon vesting. For RSUs that have vested, dividend-equivalent amounts are paid on the same basis as dividends paid on shares of common stock.

Forcepoint Board Compensation
In May 2015, following Raytheon’s acquisition of Websense, Inc., Raytheon created Forcepoint LLC, a cybersecurity joint venture company (with a minority owner, Vista Equity Partners). After Raytheon’s purchase of the minority interest in November 2019, Forcepoint became wholly-owned by Raytheon. At the request of the Raytheon Board, Mr. Beauchamp serves on the Forcepoint board. In that capacity, he receives a separate annual cash retainer of $75,000 and a fee of $1,500 for each meeting he attends.

Director Stock Ownership and Retention Guidelines
The Board believes that directors should be shareholders and have a financial stake in Raytheon. Accordingly, non-employee directors are paid a substantial portion of their compensation in equity awards. Further, each director is required to own Raytheon securities with a value of at least five times the annual cash retainer applicable to all non-employee directors within five years of election to the Board. A director may not dispose of Raytheon stock until attaining the requisite ownership threshold, and thereafter must maintain such equity ownership level. As of December 31, 2019, each of our non-employee directors with five or more years of service had met or exceeded this stock ownership requirement.

Policy Against Certain Raytheon Stock Transactions
Our non-employee directors are subject to Raytheon’s Insider Trading Policy, which restricts them from certain short sales, derivative transactions, hedging, and other transactions involving Raytheon securities. The policy also prohibits the purchase of Raytheon securities on margin or otherwise pledging Raytheon securities as collateral for a loan.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
Directors who served as members of our MDCC during 2019 were Tracy A. Atkinson, Robert E. Beauchamp, Adriane M. Brown, Stephen J. Hadley, George R. Oliver, William R. Spivey and James A. Winnefeld, Jr. None of these members is or has ever been an officer or employee of Raytheon. To our knowledge, there were no relationships involving members of the MDCC or our other directors that would constitute a compensation committee interlock.

(1)
This amount includes 762,072 shares, which is the aggregate of the actual number of shares that will be issued pursuant to the 2017 Long-term Performance Plan (LTPP) awards and the maximum number of shares that may be issued upon settlement of outstanding 2018 and 2019 LTPP awards, including estimated dividend equivalent amounts. The shares to be issued pursuant to the 2017, 2018 and 2019 LTPP awards will be issued under the Raytheon 2019 Stock Plan. The material terms of the 2017, 2018 and 2019 LTPP awards are described in more detail in “Note 13: Stock-based Compensation Plans” to our financial statements in our 2019 Form 10-K. These awards are granted as restricted stock units (RSUs) and though generally settled in stock, may be settled in cash, stock or a combination of both cash and stock at the discretion of the Management Development and Compensation Committee (MDCC).

This amount also includes 533,522 shares that may be issued upon settlement of RSUs, generally issued to retirement-eligible and non-U.S. employees. The shares to be issued in settlement of the RSUs will be issued under the 2019 Stock Plan. The RSUs generally vest one-third per year on the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant.

Since RSU awards do not have an exercise price, and there are no other options, warrants or rights outstanding at December 31, 2019, the weighted-average exercise price is zero.

Changes in Control
On June 9, 2019, Raytheon and UTC announced their entry into the Merger Agreement to combine in the Merger. For further discussion of the Merger, see “Explanatory Note”.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Transactions with Related Persons
The Board has adopted a written Related Party Transactions Policy. Related party transactions include all transactions and relationships involving amounts in excess of $120,000 between Raytheon (including subsidiaries) on one side, and any director, executive officer, 5% shareholder, or an immediate family member of any of the foregoing (interested person) and certain entities in which an interested person has a significant interest, on the other. Under the policy, the Governance and Nominating Committee reviews the material facts of all related party transactions identified by the Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary and determines whether to approve, disapprove or ratify each transaction or relationship involved. Certain transactions and relationships have been preapproved for purposes of the policy, including (a) executive officer compensation approved by the Board, (b) director compensation, (c) certain relatively small transactions between Raytheon and other companies, and (d) certain charitable contributions made by Raytheon.

Mses. Atkinson and Pawlikowski and Messrs. Hadley, Kennedy, Kremer, O’Brien, Oliver, Paliwal, Wajsgras and Winnefeld served as members of boards of, or were otherwise affiliated with, charitable or other non-profit organizations to which Raytheon made contributions in 2019 (other than through a trade association membership or our matching gift and charitable awards program). These contributions were consistent with all company policies, and no organization received, in the aggregate, more than $300,000.

In a Schedule 13G filing made with the SEC, BlackRock, Inc., including its subsidiaries, reported beneficial ownership of 7.5% of our outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2019. Under a previously established business relationship, BlackRock has provided investment management services for the benefit of the Raytheon Master Benefit Pension Trust. For providing such investment management services, BlackRock received fees of $1.7 million in 2019. The Governance and Nominating Committee has reviewed this relationship and approved it on the basis that BlackRock’s ownership of Raytheon stock plays no role in the business relationship between the two companies and the engagement of BlackRock has been on terms no more favorable than terms that would be available to unaffiliated third parties under the same or similar circumstances.

Director Independence
Refer to Item 10 of this Form 10-K/A for the listing of Directors.

The Board has adopted specific director independence criteria, consistent with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) listing standards, to assist it in making determinations regarding the independence of its members. These criteria are detailed in our Governance Principles. A director is considered independent only if the Board determines the director does not have a material relationship, directly or indirectly, with Raytheon.

The Board considers the independence of its members at least annually, in part by reviewing Raytheon’s relationships with organizations with which our directors are affiliated. The Board has determined that no director other than Mr. Kennedy, the Chairman and CEO, has, directly or indirectly, a material relationship with Raytheon, nor does any other director have a direct or indirect material interest in any transaction involving Raytheon. Every director other than Mr. Kennedy satisfies our independence criteria.


67


In connection with its review and determination of director independence, the Board considered certain non-material relationships and transactions involving directors, including:

BMC Software, Inc. (BMC), where Mr. Beauchamp serves as Executive Chairman, provides software licenses and related services to Raytheon;

Johnson Controls International plc, where Mr. Oliver serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, provides products and services to Raytheon, including fire protection and security systems, industrial equipment and services; and

State Street Global Markets, LLC (SSGM), a subsidiary of State Street Corporation, where Ms. Atkinson serves as Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer, provides purely transactional processing services to Raytheon pension plans in the ordinary operation of the plans.

In all cases, the transactions occurred in the ordinary course of business; none of the directors had any direct or indirect material interest in, or received any special compensation in connection with, the transactions or relationships; and the amounts paid in the transactions were well below thresholds prescribed under the NYSE standards and our Governance Principles.

(2)
Represents fees and expenses for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and not reported under “Audit Fees.” Includes fees for due diligence services, audits of financial statements of 401(k) and other employee benefit plans, and fees for certain agreed-upon procedures. Audit-related fees for 2019 include approximately $1.1 million for procedures related to the expected Merger with UTC.

68


(3)
Tax Fees for 2019 include approximately $0.3 million for non-U.S. tax compliance services, $0.6 million for U.S. tax compliance services and $0.4 million for tax consulting, advisory and planning services. Tax Fees for 2018 include approximately $0.4 million for non-U.S. tax compliance services, $0.6 million for U.S. tax compliance services, and $0.4 million for tax consulting, advisory and planning services.

The amounts shown above do not include PwC fees and expenses of approximately $0.9 million in both 2019 and 2018 paid by our pension plans for audits of financial statements of such plans and certain international tax compliance services. These services were rendered by PwC to the pension plans and were billed directly to such plans.

Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services
The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and non-audit services to be provided by PwC, and the fees for those services, in order to ensure that they do not impair PwC’s independence. The Chair of the Audit Committee has the delegated authority to pre-approve services with fees up to $100,000, and these pre-approvals are later to be reviewed and ratified at the Audit Committee’s next meeting. We further require PwC and management to report on actual fees charged for each category of service periodically throughout the year. The Audit Committee reviews the scope of the annual integrated audit and the related PwC engagement letter, which the Chair of the Audit Committee signs on behalf of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee also discusses with PwC the qualifications of the independent auditors working on the Raytheon account and the planning and staffing of the audit. For 2019, all of the audit, audit-related, tax, and all other fees listed in the table above were approved by the Audit Committee.
