01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement. On August 23, 2024, Lockheed Martin Corporation (the "Company") entered into Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement (the "Amendment"), which amends the Company's existing $3.0 billion Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of August 24, 2022, among the Company, as borrower, the lenders listed therein (the "Lenders"), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as syndication agent, Citibank, N.A., Crdit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Mizuho Bank, Ltd. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as documentation agents, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the "Credit Agreement"). The Amendment, among other things, extends the maturity date of the Credit Agreement by one year from August 24, 2028 to August 24, 2029 and removes the existing financial maintenance covenant set forth in the Credit Agreement that required the Company to comply with a maximum leverage ratio of 65%. Except as amended by the Amendment, the terms of the Credit Agreement remain in full force and effect. The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. In the ordinary course of their respective businesses, one or more of the Lenders, or their affiliates, have or may have various relationships with the Company and the Company's subsidiaries involving the provision of a variety of financial services, including cash management, commercial banking, investment banking, trust or agency, foreign exchange, advisory or other financial services, for which they received, or will receive, customary fees and expenses.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure. Update on F-35 Technology Refresh 3 The U.S. government's F-35 Joint Program Office (the "JPO") and the Company have reached an agreement for the acceptance and delivery of Technology Refresh 3 ("TR-3") enabled aircraft with robust combat training capability. As part of the agreement, the JPO will withhold a portion of final aircraft delivery payments from the Company until TR-3 combat capability is qualified and delivered. Additionally, the Company is making significant investments in development labs and digital infrastructure that benefit the F-35 enterprise's speed and agility in fielding capabilities to the most advanced and connected fighter jet.
