(1) The amounts in this column represent the grant date fair value of the portion of the director’s annual retainer mandatorily deferred into the stock unit account

under the Directors Deferred Income Plan. These amounts are converted to stock units at a grant date fair value equal to the average share price for the

calendar quarter in which the fees were payable.

(2) The amounts in this column represent the amount of matching contributions made by the Company on behalf of participating directors pursuant to the Textron

Matching Gift Program.

DIRECTOR STOCK OWNERSHIP REQUIREMENTS

In order to align the financial interests of our directors with the interests of our shareholders, we require that our directors

maintain a specified level of stock ownership equal to eight times the portion of their annual retainer payable in cash;

toward this end, we require all non-employee directors to defer a minimum of $120,000 (effective January 1, 2016) of their

annual retainer into the stock unit account of the Directors Deferred Income Plan. All directors currently meet the stock

ownership requirement which allows them to achieve the required level of ownership over time in the case of directors

who have more recently joined the Board. We also have a stock retention policy restricting non-employee directors from

transferring stock units or restricted stock while they serve on the Board.

ANTI-HEDGING AND PLEDGING POLICY

Our directors are prohibited from (i) pledging Textron securities as collateral for any loan or holding Textron securities in a

margin account or (ii) engaging in short sales of Textron securities or transactions in publicly-traded options or derivative

securities based on Textron’s securities.
