Item 8.01. Other Events.

Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed Martin" or the "Company") has received notice of an unsolicited “mini-tender” offer by Peer & Peri LLC to purchase up to 10,000 shares of Lockheed Martin’s common stock. Peer & Peri’s offer price of $269.00 per share is approximately 20.41% lower than the $337.99 closing price of Lockheed Martin common stock on May 17, 2019, the last trading day before the commencement of the offer.

Lockheed Martin is not affiliated in any way with Peer & Peri, the offer, or the offer documentation. Lockheed Martin recommends against stockholders tendering shares in response to the offer, as the offer price was significantly below the market price of Lockheed Martin’s common stock at the commencement of the offer and is also significantly below the current market price.

Lockheed Martin urges stockholders to obtain current market quotations for their shares, review the conditions of the mini-tender offer, consult with their brokers or financial advisors, and exercise caution with respect to the mini-tender offer.

A copy of the Company's press release recommending that stockholders reject the mini-tender offer by Peer & Peri is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
