Convertible Senior Debentures

Vishay currently has three issuances of convertible senior debentures outstanding with generally congruent terms. The quarterly cash dividend program of the Company results in adjustments to the conversion rate and effective conversion price for each issuance of the Company's convertible senior debentures effective as of the ex-dividend date of each cash dividend.

The following table summarizes some key facts and terms regarding the three series of outstanding convertible senior debentures following the adjustment made to the conversion rate of the debentures on the ex-dividend date of the March 27, 2014 dividend payment:

GAAP requires an issuer to separately account for the liability and equity components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer's nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest costs are recognized in subsequent periods. The resulting discount on the debt is amortized as non-cash interest expense in future periods.

The carrying values of the liability and equity components of the convertible debentures are reflected in the Company's consolidated condensed balance sheets as follows:

	Principal amount of the debentures		Unamortized discount			Embedded derivative		Carrying value of liability component		Equity component - net carrying value
March 29, 2014
Due 2040	$	275,000		(173,169	)		536	$	102,367	$	110,094
Due 2041	$	150,000		(97,844	)		363	$	52,519	$	62,246
Due 2042	$	150,000		(91,797	)		217	$	58,420	$	57,874
Total	$	575,000	$	(362,810	)	$	1,116	$	213,306	$	230,214

December 31, 2013
Due 2040	$	275,000		(173,645	)		491	$	101,846	$	110,094

Due 2042	$	150,000		(92,038	)		197	$	58,159	$	57,874
Total	$	575,000	$	(363,768	)	$	1,037	$	212,269	$	230,214

Interest is payable on the debentures semi-annually at the cash coupon rate; however, the remaining debt discount is being amortized as additional non-cash interest expense using an effective annual interest rate equal to the Company's estimated nonconvertible debt borrowing rate at the time of issuance. In addition to ordinary interest, contingent interest will accrue in certain circumstances relating to the trading price of the debentures and under certain other circumstances beginning ten years subsequent to issuance.

Interest expense related to the debentures is reflected on the consolidated condensed statements of operations for the fiscal quarters ended:

	Contractual coupon interest		Non-cash amortization of debt discount		Non-cash amortization of deferred financing costs		Non-cash change in value of derivative liability			Total interest expense related to the debentures
March 29, 2014
Due 2040	$	1,547		476		22		45		$	2,090
Due 2041	$	844		241		11		14		$	1,110
Due 2042	$	844		241		13		20		$	1,118
Total	$	3,235	$	958	$	46	$	79		$	4,318

Exchangeable Unsecured Notes, due 2102

Quarterly cash dividends do not result in an adjustment to the put/call rate of the Company's exchangeable unsecured notes due 2102; therefore, the cash dividend payment in the first fiscal quarter of 2014 had no effect on the exchangeable notes due 2102.
