Contributions and Expected Benefit Payments
We generally determine funding requirements for our defined benefit pension plans in a manner consistent with CAS
and Internal Revenue Code rules. In 2011, we made contributions of $2.3 billion related to our qualified defined benefit
pension plans. We plan to make contributions of approximately $1.1 billion related to the qualified defined benefit pension
plans in 2012. We also may review options for further contributions in 2012. We expect to make required contributions of
$112 million related to the retiree medical and life insurance plans in 2012.
The following table presents estimated future benefit payments, which reflect expected future employee service, as of
December 31, 2011:
(In millions) 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 - 2021

Retiree medical and life insurance plans 240 250 260 260 270 1,240
Defined Contribution Plans
We maintain a number of defined contribution plans, most with 401(k) features, that cover substantially all of our
employees. Under the provisions of our 401(k) plans, we match most employees’ eligible contributions at rates specified in
the plan documents. Our contributions were $378 million in 2011, $379 million in 2010, and $364 million in 2009, the
majority of which were funded in our common stock. Our defined contribution plans held approximately 52.1 million and
60.7 million shares of our common stock as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.
Note 11 – Stockholders’ Equity
At December 31, 2011, our authorized capital was composed of 1.5 billion shares of common stock and 50 million
shares of series preferred stock. Of the 323 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding, 321 million shares were
considered outstanding for Balance Sheet presentation purposes; the remaining shares were held in the Rabbi Trust. No
preferred stock shares were issued and outstanding at December 31, 2011.
During 2011, 2010, and 2009, we repurchased 31.8 million, 33.0 million, and 24.9 million shares of our common stock
for $2.4 billion, $2.5 billion, and $1.9 billion. We paid cash totaling $2.5 billion for share repurchases during 2011, which
included $63 million for shares we repurchased in December 2010 but that were not paid for until January 2011. Our share
repurchase program provides for the repurchase of our common stock from time-to-time. Under the program, we have
discretion to determine the dollar amount of shares to be repurchased and the timing of any repurchases in compliance with
applicable law and regulation. In 2011, our Board authorized an additional $3.5 billion for share repurchases, bringing the
total authorized amount under the program to $6.5 billion. As of December 31, 2011, we had repurchased a total of
43.0 million shares under the program for $3.2 billion, and there remained $3.3 billion authorized for additional share
repurchases.
As we repurchase our common shares, we reduce common stock for the $1 of par value of the shares repurchased, with
the remainder of the purchase price over par value recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Due to the volume of
repurchases made under our share repurchase program, additional paid-in capital was reduced to zero, with the remainder of
the excess of purchase price over par value of $1.8 billion and $1.9 billion recorded as a reduction of retained earnings in
2011 and 2010.
Note 12 – Stock-Based Compensation
During 2011, 2010, and 2009, we recorded non-cash compensation cost related to stock options and restricted stock
units totaling $157 million, $168 million, and $154 million, which is included on our Statements of Earnings in other
unallocated corporate costs within cost of sales. The net impact to earnings for the respective years was $101 million,
$109 million, and $99 million.
Stock-Based Compensation Plans
We had two stock-based compensation plans in place at December 31, 2011: the Lockheed Martin 2011 Incentive
Performance Award Plan (the Award Plan) and the Lockheed Martin Directors Equity Plan (the Directors Plan). Under the
Award Plan, we have the right to grant key employees stock-based incentive awards, including options to purchase common
