Dear Fellow Stockholder:
We recently mailed
to you a proxy statement requesting your support of the proposed merger between LeCroy Corporation (LeCroy) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (Teledyne) at a special meeting of the
Companys stockholders scheduled for August 2, 2012. At the special meeting, stockholders will be asked to vote upon, among other proposals, the merger with the wholly owned subsidiary of Teledyne. If approved, the terms of the merger
provide for all common shares to be converted to the right to receive $14.30 per share in cash.
Please Vote Your LeCroy
Shares Today!
Regardless of the number of shares you own, your vote is very important. Approval of the merger requires the affirmative
vote of holders of a majority of all of the outstanding shares of LeCroy common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting. If you fail to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the special meeting, it will have the same effect as a vote against
the proposal to adopt the merger. Please return the enclosed proxy card today in the postage-paid envelope provided. You may also vote your shares by telephone or internet by following the instructions on the proxy card.
The board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote FOR approval of the proposal to adopt the merger agreement, FOR
approval of the non-binding advisory proposal regarding compensation that may be paid or become payable to LeCroys named executive officers in connection with the merger and FOR approval of the proposal to adjourn the special
meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies.
The merger consideration of $14.30 per share of LeCroy common stock
represents a premium of approximately 56% to the closing price of the shares on May 25, 2012, the trading day before announcement of the execution of the merger agreement, and an approximately 57% premium to the closing price of the shares on
May 24, 2012, the last trading day prior to the date our board of directors authorized the execution of the merger agreement.
Your vote is important. Please take the time TODAY to ensure that your shares are represented at the special meeting of stockholders.

meeting, please contact MacKenzie Partners, Inc., LeCroys proxy solicitor, at (800) 322-2885 (toll-free) or (212) 929-5500 (collect), or by email at proxy@mackenziepartners.com.

/s/ Thomas H. Reslewic
