Appointment of Certain New Executive Officers

On July 15, 2022, the Board of Directors of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (“Vishay” or the “Company”) appointed two new executive officers, effective January 1, 2023, as part of the Company’s executive transition plan.

Mr. Roy Shoshani, 49, will be promoted to the position of Executive Vice President – Chief Technical Officer.  Mr. Shoshani has held various positions of increasing responsibility since joining Vishay in 2004, including Deputy to the Chief Technical Officer (since 2021), Vice President Integrated Circuits Division (since 2009), and Vice President R&D – Semiconductors (2019-2021).  Prior to joining Vishay, Mr. Shoshani worked for Harmonic.  Mr. Shoshani’s experience with Vishay includes divisional leadership roles in R&D, marketing, business development and operations.

Mr. Peter Henrici, 67, will be promoted to the position of Executive Vice President – Corporate Communications, a newly created role.  Mr. Henrici will continue to serve as the Corporate Secretary. Mr. Henrici has held various positions in marketing communications, investor relations, and corporate treasury departments since joining Vishay in 1998.  Mr. Henrici has been responsible for corporate communications since 2005 and he was appointed Corporate Secretary in 2012.

The compensation arrangements with Mr. Shoshani and Mr. Henrici are described below under the heading “Executive Employment Agreements.”

Except as disclosed herein, Mr. Shoshani was not appointed to his new position pursuant to any arrangement or understanding between Mr. Shoshani and any other person.  Mr. Shoshani is the brother of director Ziv Shoshani.

Except as disclosed herein, Mr. Henrici was not appointed to his new position pursuant to any arrangement or understanding between Mr. Henrici and any other person.  There are no family relationships between Mr. Henrici and the directors or other executive officers of the Company.

On July 18, 2022, Vishay issued a press release announcing these appointments and the planned departures described below under the heading “Departure of Certain Executive Officers.”  This press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Departure of Certain Executive Officers

Also on July 18, 2022, Vishay announced that Mr. Johan Vandoorn, Executive Vice President – Chief Technical Officer, Mr. Clarence Tse, Executive Vice President and Business Head Semiconductors, and Mr. David Valletta, Executive Vice President – Global Sales, will leave Vishay effective December 31, 2022, as part of the Company’s executive transition plan.

Mr. Vandoorn will be succeeded by Mr. Shoshani, as described above.  The responsibilities of Mr. Tse will be absorbed by the Chief Operating Officer.  The Company has not yet named a successor to Mr. Valletta.

Each departing executive is expected to continue to perform services, including assisting with the transition of their responsibilities, through December 31, 2022 and will continue to be compensated in accordance with existing arrangements through that time.  The Board of Directors has determined that each executive’s termination of employment on December 31, 2022 will be without cause.  Accordingly, provided that an executive’s employment is not earlier terminated due to his death, disability or a termination for cause, each departing executive will be entitled to severance benefits consistent with those described in his employment agreement, each of which has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and listed in the exhibit index of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 23, 2022.  Generally, these severance benefits consist of three years of base salary continuation, an annual bonus for 2022 based on actual performance, the vesting of outstanding time-based equity grants and the survival of outstanding performance-based equity grants (which will vest or be forfeited based on actual performance through the end of the applicable performance periods).  The severance benefits are conditioned upon the executive signing a release of claims and complying with his pre-existing restrictive covenants.

Executive Employment Agreements

As previously announced, effective January 1, 2023, Mr. Joel Smejkal will become our President and Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Jeff Webster will become our Executive Vice President – Chief Operating Officer, as part of the Company’s executive transition plan.

As part of the executive transition plan, on July 14, 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the execution of an employment agreement with Mr. Shoshani, and approved restatements of the employment agreements of Messrs. Smejkal, Webster and Henrici.  The Compensation Committee also approved certain amendments to conform the employment agreements of Ms. Lori Lipcaman, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Mr. Andreas Randebrock, our Executive Vice President – Global Human Resources, to the agreements of Messrs. Smejkal, Webster, Shoshani, and Henrici.  (Collectively, the employment agreements with Messrs. Smejkal, Webster, Shoshani, Henrici, and Randebrock and Ms. Lipcaman, as amended, are herein referred to as the “Executive Employment Agreements.”)  The Executive Employment Agreements are each effective as of January 1, 2023.

Pursuant to the Executive Employment Agreements, the minimum base salaries for 2023 were established as follows (with approximate U.S. dollar equivalents based on the average exchange rate for 2021, the same rate used in Vishay’s most recent proxy statement):

Joel Smejkal	$900,000
Lori Lipcaman	€476,000 (approximately $560,000)(2)
Jeff Webster	ILS 1,850,000 (approximately $570,000)(1)
Roy Shoshani	$465,000
Andreas Randebrock	€345,000 (approximately $410,000)(2)
Peter Henrici	$410,000

(1) Salary will be paid in Israeli shekels

(2) Salary will be paid in euro

Pursuant to the Executive Employment Agreements, Messrs. Smejkal, Webster, Shoshani, and Randebrock and Ms. Lipcaman will each be eligible for an annual cash bonus with a target amount equal to his or her annual base salary.  Mr. Henrici will be eligible for an annual cash bonus with a target amount equal to 30% of his annual base salary.

Pursuant to the Executive Employment Agreements, in 2023, each executive officer will be eligible for an equity grant with a minimum underlying stock value on the grant date as follows (with approximate U.S. dollar equivalents based on the average exchange rate for 2021, the same rate used in Vishay’s most recent proxy statement):

Joel Smejkal	$2,300,000
Lori Lipcaman	€800,000 (approximately $950,000)
Jeff Webster	ILS 4,350,000 (approximately $1,350,000)
Roy Shoshani	$780,000
Andreas Randebrock	€210,000 (approximately $250,000)
Peter Henrici	$400,000

The 2023 equity grants will be in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), of which 50% will be subject to performance-based vesting conditions.

In years subsequent to 2023, equity grants, and the portion of equity grants subject to performance-based vesting conditions, will be at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

With respect to future equity grants, time-based vesting conditions will be deemed satisfied, and performance-based vesting conditions will remain in effect, upon the executive’s resignation for any reason following the attainment of age 62 (except where cause exists), death or disability.  Also with respect to future equity grants, if a change in control occurs and the equity grants are assumed or continued by the surviving company, no accelerated vesting will occur.  However, if the executive’s employment ceases due to a termination without cause or resignation with “good reason” upon or within one year following the change in control, time-based equity grants will then vest and performance-based grants will remain outstanding and will vest (or be forfeited) based on actual performance through the end of the applicable performance periods.  If the equity grants are not assumed or continued, the grants will vest upon the change in control (with any performance-based vesting criteria deemed satisfied at the target level or, if greater, at the level of actual performance achieved through the date of the change in control).

There are no changes to the terms and conditions related to currently outstanding equity grants.

The Executive Employment Agreements provide severance benefits upon involuntary termination and customary non-compete and non-solicitation covenants.  The severance benefits are generally consistent with those payable to Messrs. Vandoorn, Tse, and Valletta upon their terminations, as described above.

The agreement with Mr. Shoshani also includes a housing allowance of $5,068 per month, which is customary for Vishay employees on international assignments.

In contrast to the pre-existing employment agreements, the Executive Employment Agreements do not (i) include automatic equity vesting upon a change in control or (ii) treat change in control as a basis for resignation with severance benefits.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Executive Employment Agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 10.2–10.7, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Amendment of Employment Agreement of Executive Chair

Also on July 14, 2022, the Compensation Committee approved an amendment to the employment agreement of Mr. Marc Zandman, Executive Chair of the Board and Chief Business Development Officer, to codify the terms and conditions of certain supplemental death and disability benefits provided to Mr. Zandman pursuant to his existing employment agreement.  Mr. Zandman’s employment agreement contemplated that these benefits would be provided through third-party insurance providers, but Vishay Israel has decided to self-insure these obligations.  Mr. Zandman’s employment agreement amendment also confirms Vishay Israel’s continued payment of premiums on a basic disability insurance policy (consistent with Vishay Israel’s practice for other salaried employees), and adjusts the performance-based portion of his 2023 and later annual equity grants to between 50 and 75% (with the precise amount to be determined annually by our Compensation Committee).

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amendment to Mr. Zandman’s employment agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 8.01 – Other Events

Also on July 14, 2022, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to its Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines, effective January 1, 2023.  Pursuant to the amendment, the Chief Executive Officer will be required to own shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate fair market value equal to or greater than three times his base salary as of the annual measurement date (market close on the first trading day of March of each calendar year).  Under these guidelines, an executive promoted into a role with a higher level of required stock ownership will have until the first annual measurement date that occurs at least five years after such promotion to achieve the requisite level of stock ownership.

Exhibit 10.1

Amendment to Employment Agreement of Marc Zandman

Amendment to Employment Agreement (this “Amendment”) made on July 14, 2022 by and between VISHAY ISRAEL LTD., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Israel (“Vishay Israel”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Vishay”) and MARC ZANDMAN (“Executive”).

WHEREAS, Executive has been employed by Vishay Israel pursuant to an Employment Agreement, made between the Parties as of January 1, 2004 and amended as of August 8, 2010, August 30, 2011 and February 23, 2021 (the “Employment Agreement”);

WHEREAS, Section 8.5 of the Employment Agreement provides that Vishay Israel and Executive may amend the Employment Agreement by mutual agreement in writing; and

WHEREAS, Vishay Israel and Executive desire to amend the Employment Agreement (1) to provide Vishay’s Compensation Committee with discretion to allocate Executive’s annual equity award between time- and performance-based components, (2) to reflect Vishay Israel’s continued payment of premiums on an existing disability insurance policy (consistent with Vishay Israel’s practice for other salaried employees), and (3) to reflect contractually the prior decisions of Vishay’s Compensation Committee to self-fund certain supplement welfare benefit coverages provided to Executive.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual benefits to be derived herefrom and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Effective January 1, 2023, the fourth and fifth sentences of Section 4.5 of the Employment Agreement are hereby replaced with the following:

The stated value of each such grant will be converted into an aggregate number of units by dividing such value by the closing price of Vishay common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the trading date immediately preceding such January 1^st.  For 2023 and subsequent years, the allocation of such aggregate number of units between RSUs and PBRSUs will be determined annually by the Compensation Committee, but in each case at least 50% and up to 75% of such units will be PBRSUs.

2. Section 5.1(a) of the Employment Agreement is hereby restated as follows (new language shown in bold, underlined text):

(a)  Beginning on February 1, 2021 and during the remainder of the Term, Executive (and his spouse and eligible dependents, as applicable) shall be entitled to participate in all group vision insurance, dental insurance, disability insurance, life insurance and retirement plans which are generally made available by Vishay and Vishay Israel to its senior executives (and their spouses and eligible dependents, as applicable), subject to the eligibility requirements and other provisions of such plans and programs; and Vishay Israel shall pay for all premiums therefor (including, without limitation, the premiums on Migdal disability insurance policy number 171015891) and reimburse Executive for out-of-pocket expenses and co-payments incurred in connection with such plans.

3. Sections 5.3 and 5.4 of the Employment Agreement are hereby restated as follows:

5.3Life Insurance.  Vishay or Vishay Israel will pay Executive’s designated beneficiary (or in the absence of a designated beneficiary, Executive’s estate) the following death benefit: (i) if Executive dies while employed hereunder, three times (3x) the Base Salary at time of death, and (ii) if Executive dies following the cessation of his employment hereunder and such cessation was for a reason described in either Section 6.2(a) or 6.2(c), one time (1x) the Base Salary on the Date of Termination.  Any such death benefit will be paid within 60 days of Executive’s death.  Vishay or Vishay Israel, as applicable, shall deduct from such benefit any tax and compulsory payment as required by any applicable law.

5.4Supplemental Disability Benefits.  If Executive suffers a Disability (as defined below) and such Disability occurs both during the Term and prior to Executive’s attainment of the statutory retirement age then in effect under Section 4 of the Retirement Age Law, 5764-2004 (or any successor rule)(the “Statutory Retirement Age”), Vishay Israel shall provide Executive with monthly disability benefits equal to (x) 60% of the sum of (a) the Base Salary at the time of Disability and (b) the average of the annual bonuses paid to Executive under Section 4.2 in the three calendar years ending prior to the year benefits under this paragraph are scheduled to commenced, divided by (y) twelve; provided that such payments will (to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code) be reduced by (i) any disability benefits payable to Executive under group plans or policies funded by Vishay, Vishay Israel or their affiliates, (ii) any disability benefits payable to Executive under any state-sponsored social insurance program, and (iii) ILS 90,000 per month.  Disability benefits under this paragraph will commence three months following the onset of Disability and will continue until the earliest of (1) the cessation of such Disability, (2) Executive’s death, and (3) Executive’s attainment of the Statutory Retirement Age.  For this purpose, “Disability” will have the meaning defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(i)(4)(i)(A) and will be determined by the examination of a physician selected by Vishay and reasonably acceptable to Executive. Vishay or Vishay Israel, as applicable, shall deduct from any disability benefit payable to the Executive any tax and compulsory payment as required by any applicable law.

4. Except as set forth in this Amendment, all other terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

5. This Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original agreement and all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. The counterparts of this Amendment may be executed and delivered by facsimile or other electronic signature (including portable document format) by any of the Parties and the receiving Parties may rely on the receipt of such document so executed and delivered electronically or by facsimile as if the original had been received.

Exhibit 10.2

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into on July 14, 2022 by and between VISHAY DALE ELECTRONICS, LLC (“Vishay Electronics”), VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY, INC. (“Vishay”), and JOEL SMEJKAL (“Executive”).

WHEREAS, effective January 1, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), Vishay, Vishay Electronics and Executive wish to amend and restate the Prior Agreement to reflect certain new terms and conditions of employment, as set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

(c)Executive’s (i) willful and repeated failure to substantially perform his duties under this Agreement (other than as a result of total or partial incapacity due to physical or mental illness or injury) or (ii) willful and repeated failure to substantially comply with any policy of Vishay and/or its subsidiaries applicable to Executive; provided, however, that a termination pursuant to this clause (c) will not become effective unless Executive fails to cure such failure to perform or comply within twenty (20) days after written notice thereof from Vishay Electronics.

For avoidance of doubt, a termination due to Disability will not constitute a termination without Cause.

1.4.“Change in Control” has the meaning defined in the Stock Incentive Program.

1.5.“Compensation Committee” means the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

1.6.“Competing Business” means any business or venture located anywhere in the world that is engaged in any business activities to the extent Vishay or any subsidiary or affiliate of Vishay is engaged in such activities or has significant plans to enter into such activities on the Date of Termination.

1.7.“Date of Termination” means (a) the effective date on which Executive’s employment by Vishay Electronics terminates within the meaning of a “separation from service” under section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or (b) if Executive’s employment by Vishay Electronics terminates by reason of death, the date of Executive’s death.

1.8.“Disability” means a disability entitling Executive to long-term disability benefits under a plan of Vishay (or a subsidiary or affiliate of Vishay).

1.9.“Good Reason” means, without Executive’s express written consent, the occurrence of any of the following events:

(i)any material and adverse change in Executive’s titles, offices, duties, or responsibilities (including reporting responsibilities) with respect to Vishay or any subsidiary or affiliate of Vishay from those set forth in this Agreement;

(ii)a material reduction in Executive’s annual Base Salary (as the same may be increased from time to time after the Effective Date);

(iii)relocation of Executive’s principal place of performance by more than 50 miles from Columbus, Nebraska (excluding for this purpose reasonable travel from time to time); or

(iv)a material breach of this Agreement by Vishay Electronics;

provided however, that none of the foregoing events or conditions will constitute Good Reason unless Executive provides Vishay Electronics with written objection to the event or condition within 30 days following the initial occurrence thereof, Vishay Electronics does not reverse or otherwise cure the event or condition within 30 days of receiving that written objection, and Executive resigns his employment within 90 days following the expiration of that cure period.

1.10.“Non-Competition Period” means the period commencing upon the Effective Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Date of Termination.

1.11.“Non-Solicitation Period” means the period commencing upon the Effective Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Date of Termination.

2.Term. The “Term” of Executive’s employment hereunder shall commence on the Effective Date and continue until terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  If Executive’s employment ceases for any reason prior to the Effective Date, this Agreement will be void ab initio and the effects of such cessation will be determined without regard to this Agreement.

3.Duties.

3.1.Positions.  During the Term, Executive shall serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Vishay, reporting directly to the Board of Directors.

3.2.Authority and Responsibility.  Executive shall have authority and responsibility customarily applicable to the positions described in Section 3.1, and shall perform such other duties as may be assigned by Vishay from time to time.

3.3.Activities.  Excluding any periods of vacation, personal, sick leave and other permitted absences to which Executive is entitled according to this Agreement and applicable law, Executive shall devote his full professional attention and best efforts during the Term to the business and affairs of Vishay and its subsidiaries and affiliates.  It shall not be considered a violation of the foregoing for Executive to (a) provide services to Vishay or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, (b) serve on corporate, industry, civic or charitable boards or committees, or (c) manage personal investments, so long as such activities would be permitted under Section 7 and do not interfere with the performance of Executive’s responsibilities as an employee of Vishay Electronics in accordance with this Agreement.

4.Compensation.

4.1.Base Salary.  Vishay Electronics shall pay Executive a base salary of not less than $900,000 per year (as adjusted from time to time, the “Base Salary”).  Such Base Salary will be reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee and will be paid in accordance with Vishay Electronics’ standard salary policies as they exist from time to time, subject to such deductions, if any, as are required by law or elected by Executive (for example, with respect to 401(k) plan contributions).

4.2.Bonus.  For each fiscal year ending both during the Term and prior to the time that notice of termination is given by either party, Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual performance bonus (“Bonus”) payable in cash, with a target opportunity equal to 100% of his Base Salary.  The actual amount of Bonus payable to Executive shall be determined by the Compensation Committee, and shall be based upon the achievement of certain corporate and/or individual performance goals to be established by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.

4.3.Annual Equity Grant.

(a)On or about each January 1^st occurring both during the Term and prior to the time that notice of termination is given by either party, Executive will be eligible to receive an annual equity award under the Stock Incentive Program (or any successor plan or arrangement thereof).

(i)With respect to the 2023 calendar year: (A) the stated value of Executive’s annual equity award will be at least $2,300,000 (provided Executive then remains in service and notice of termination has not been given by either party), and (B) the 2023 equity award will be comprised of an equal number of restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs); and (C) except as otherwise specified herein, all other terms of the 2023 equity award will be determined by the Compensation Committee, in its discretion.  The stated value of the 2023 equity award will be converted into an aggregate number of units by dividing such value by the closing price of Vishay common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the trading date immediately preceding the grant date.  The resulting aggregate number of units will then be divided evenly between RSUs and PRSUs.

(ii)With respect to calendar years after 2023, the size of Executive’s annual equity award and, except as otherwise specified herein, all other terms of each year’s equity award, will be determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion.

(b)With respect to any annual equity awards granted to Executive by Vishay prior to the Effective Date, if Executive’s service ceases due to (i) termination by Vishay Electronics without Cause, (ii) resignation by Executive with Good Reason (or for any reason after Executive attains age 62, unless Cause then exists), or (iii) his death or Disability, then subject in each case (other than death) to Executive’s execution of a release of claims in favor of Vishay and its subsidiaries and affiliates in accordance with Section 6.2(c), any service-based vesting criteria applicable to such equity awards will be deemed satisfied and any performance-based vesting criteria applicable to such equity awards will remain in effect.

(c)With respect to any annual equity awards granted to Executive by Vishay or its successor on or after the Effective Date, if Executive’s service ceases due to (i) resignation by Executive for any reason after Executive attains age 62 (unless Cause then exists), (ii) Executive’s death or Disability, (iii) termination by Vishay Electronics without Cause upon or within one year following a Change in Control, or (iv) resignation by Executive with Good Reason upon or within one year following a Change in Control, then subject in each case (other than death) to Executive’s execution of a release of claims in favor of Vishay and its subsidiaries and affiliates in accordance with Section 6.2(c), any service-based vesting criteria applicable to such equity awards will be deemed satisfied and any performance-based vesting criteria applicable to such equity awards will remain in effect.

(d)Upon a Change in Control, to the extent Executive’s then outstanding equity awards granted pursuant to this Section 4.3 are not assumed or continued by the surviving company, such awards will then vest (with any performance-based vesting criteria deemed satisfied at the target level or, if greater, at the level of actual performance achieved through the date of such Change in Control).

5.Additional Rights.

5.1.Participation in Benefit Plans and Programs.  During the Term, Executive, together with his spouse and dependent children up to age 26, shall be entitled to participate in any and all medical insurance, group health insurance, disability insurance, life insurance and retirement plans which are generally made available by Vishay Electronics to its senior executives, subject to the eligibility requirements and other provisions of such plans and programs.

5.2.Reimbursement of Expenses.  In accordance with Vishay Electronics’ standard reimbursement policies as they exist from time to time, Vishay Electronics shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable and documented travel, business entertainment and other business expenses incurred by Executive in connection with the performance of his duties under this Agreement.

5.3.Vacation, Personal and Sick Days.  Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation, holidays, personal and sick days in accordance with and subject to Vishay Electronics’ policies, as in effect from time to time.

6.Termination of Employment: Compensation Upon Termination.

6.2.Compensation Upon Termination.

(a)Termination by Vishay Electronics Without Cause; Termination by Executive With Good Reason.  In the event Executive's employment with Vishay Electronics is terminated by Vishay Electronics without Cause or by Executive with Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to the following:

(i)A lump sum cash payment equal to all Accrued Compensation, such payment to be made within 15 days after the Date of Termination.

(ii)Payment of any otherwise earned but unpaid Bonus for any fiscal year ending prior to the Date of Termination, payable in the same manner and at the same time as such Bonus would have been paid in the absence of such termination.

(iii)Payment of a pro-rata Bonus for the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs, determined and paid in the same manner and at the same time as such Bonus would have been determined and paid in the absence of such termination.  The pro-ration of such Bonus will be determined based on the number of days of the applicable fiscal year that have transpired prior to the Date of Termination relative to the total number of days contained in that fiscal year.

(iv)Continued payment of Executive's then current Base Salary from the Date of Termination until the third anniversary of the Date of Termination, to be paid in equal installments in accordance with Vishay Electronics’ standard payroll practices, as in effect from time to time, but no less frequently than monthly, and which shall commence in accordance with Section 6.2(c); provided, however, that if such termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason occurs within 16 months following a Change in Control that also constitutes a “change in control event” described in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(i)(5)(i), the amounts otherwise payable under this clause (iv) will instead be paid in a single lump sum at the time specified in Section 6.2(c).

(v)All rights Executive is entitled to under the terms of Vishay Electronics’ benefit plans or arrangements (other than severance benefit plans).

(b)Termination For Any Other Reason.  In the event Executive’s employment with Vishay Electronics is terminated for any reason other than as specified in Section 6.2(a), Executive shall be entitled to (i) a lump sum cash payment equal to all Accrued Compensation, such payment to be made within 15 days after the Date of Termination; (ii) all rights Executive is entitled to under the terms of Vishay Electronics benefit plans or arrangements; and (iii) in the case of a cessation of employment due to Executive’s death or Disability, the Bonus payments described above in Sections 6.2(a)(ii) and (iii); provided, in the case of a cessation due to Disability, such Bonus payments will be conditioned on Executive’s execution of a release of claims in favor of Vishay and its subsidiaries and affiliates in accordance with Section 6.2(c).

(c)Release.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) Executive shall not be entitled to receive any payments pursuant to Sections 6.2(a)(ii), (iii) and (iv) unless Executive has executed and delivered to Vishay Electronics and Vishay a release of all claims in the form prescribed by Vishay Electronics (“Release”), and such Release becomes irrevocable within 60 days following the Date of Termination, and (ii) Executive shall be entitled to receive such payments only so long as Executive has not breached the provisions of Section 7 hereof.  The severance benefits described in Sections 6.2(a)(ii), (iii) and (iv) will be paid or begin to be paid, as applicable, within 65 days following the Date of Termination (or, in the case of the payments described in Sections 6.2(a)(ii) and (iii), at such later time as such Bonuses would have otherwise been payable in the absence of such termination); provided, that if the 60-day period described in the previous sentence begins in one taxable year and ends in the next succeeding taxable year, such payments shall not be paid or begin to be paid, as applicable, until the succeeding taxable year.

6.3.Section 409A.

(a)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or otherwise, to the extent any expense, reimbursement or in-kind benefit provided to Executive constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of section 409A of the Code, and its implementing regulations and guidance (collectively, “Section 409A”); (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to Executive during any calendar year will not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to Executive in any other calendar year; (ii) the reimbursements for expenses for which Executive is entitled to be reimbursed shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the applicable expense is incurred; and (iii) the right to payment or reimbursement or in-kind benefits hereunder may not be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit.

(b)For purposes of Section 409A, each payment in a series of payments provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will be deemed a separate payment.

(c)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or otherwise, any payment or benefit described in Section 6 that represents a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A shall only be paid or provided to Executive upon his “separation from service” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(h) (or any successor regulation).  To the extent compliance with the requirements of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(2) (or any successor provision) is necessary to avoid the application of an additional tax under Section 409A to payments due to Executive upon or following his “separation from service,” then notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (or any otherwise applicable plan, policy, agreement or arrangement), any such payments that are otherwise due within six months following Executive’s “separation from service” will be deferred (without interest) and paid to Executive in a lump sum immediately following that six month period.  In the event Executive dies during that six month period, the amounts deferred on account of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(2) (or any successor provision) shall be paid to the personal representatives of the Executive’s estate within sixty (60) days following Executive’s death.  To the extent permitted by Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(or any successor provision), this provision shall not be construed as preventing payments to Executive pursuant to Section 6 in the first six months following Executive’s “separation from service” equal to an amount up to two (2) times the lesser of: (i) Executive’s annualized compensation for the year prior to the “separation from service;” and (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to section 401(a)(17) of the Code.

(d)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or otherwise, all benefits or payments provided to Executive are intended to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or otherwise, payments may only be made under this Agreement upon an event and in a manner permitted by Section 409A or an applicable exemption.

7.Restrictive Covenants.

7.1.Non-Competition.  During the Non-Competition Period, Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of Vishay expressly authorized by the Board of Directors, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control, participate in, invest in or otherwise be connected or associated with, in any manner, including as an officer, director, employee, independent contractor, subcontractor, stockholder, member, manager, partner, principal, consultant, advisor, agent, proprietor, trustee or investor, any Competing Business; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Executive from (a) owning five percent (5%) or less of the stock or other securities of a publicly held corporation, so long as Executive does not in fact have the power to control, or direct the management of, and is not otherwise associated with, such corporation, or (b) performing services for an investment bank, investment advisor or investment fund that may, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control, participate in, invest in or otherwise be connected or associated with, in any manner, any Competing Business, provided that Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, have any responsibility whatsoever for, provide any services whatsoever to, or otherwise be connected or associated with such Competing Business.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a company has separate divisions or subsidiaries, some of which conduct a Competing Business and some of which conduct other businesses which are not Competing Businesses, then the restrictions imposed hereunder with respect to Competing Businesses shall apply only to the divisions or subsidiaries of such company that conduct the Competing Businesses, provided that (x) Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, have any responsibility whatsoever for, provide any services whatsoever to, or otherwise be connected or associated with any Competing Business of the same company, and (y) Executive obtains the prior written consent of Vishay expressly authorized by the Board of Directors, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(c)persuade or seek to persuade any customer of Vishay or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to cease to do business or to reduce the amount of business which the customer has customarily done or contemplates doing with Vishay or such subsidiary or affiliate, whether or not the relationship with such customer was originally established in whole or in part through Executive’s efforts; or

(d)interfere in any manner in the relationship of Vishay or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates with any of their respective customers, suppliers, or independent contractors, whether or not the relationship with such customer, supplier or independent contractor was originally established in whole or in part through Executive’s efforts.

7.3.Confidential Information.  Executive agrees that he shall not, directly or indirectly, use, make available, sell, disclose or otherwise communicate to any person, other than in the course of Executive’s assigned duties hereunder and for the benefit of Vishay and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates, either during the Term or at any time thereafter, any nonpublic, proprietary or confidential information, knowledge or data in any form or media, whether documentary, written, oral or computer generated, relating to Vishay, any of its subsidiaries, affiliated companies or businesses, which shall have been obtained by Executive during Executive’s employment by Vishay and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates.  The foregoing shall not apply to information that (a) was known to the public prior to its disclosure to Executive; (b) becomes known to the public subsequent to disclosure to Executive through no wrongful act of Executive or any representative of Executive; or (c) Executive is required to disclose by applicable law, regulation or legal process (provided that Executive provides Vishay with prior notice of the contemplated disclosure and reasonably cooperates with Vishay at its expense in seeking a protective order or other appropriate protection of such information).  Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) of the preceding sentence, Executive’s obligation to maintain such disclosed information in confidence shall not terminate where only portions of the information are in the public domain.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (x) Executive may be entitled to immunity and protection from retaliation under the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 for disclosing a trade secret under certain limited circumstances, as set forth in Vishay’s trade secret policy, as the same may be amended from time to time; and (y) this Agreement shall not be construed to impede Executive from making any communications or disclosures contemplated by Rule 12F-17 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any successor legislation or to require notification or prior approval by Vishay and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates of any such report; provided that, Executive is not authorized to disclose communications with counsel that were made for the purpose of receiving legal advice or that contain legal advice or that are protected by the attorney work product or similar privilege.

7.4.Non-Disparagement.  Executive agrees not to make any public statements that disparage Vishay, Vishay Electronics or their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, officers, directors, products or services.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, statements made in the course of sworn testimony in administrative, judicial or arbitral proceedings (including, without limitation, depositions in connection with such proceedings) shall not be subject to this Section 7.4.

7.5.Acknowledgements Respecting Restrictive Covenants.

(a)Executive has carefully read and considered the provisions of this Section 7 and, having done so, agrees that:

(i)the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7, including, without limitation, the scope and time period of such restrictions, are reasonable, fair and equitable in light of Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement and the benefits to be provided to him under this Agreement; and

(ii)such restrictive covenants are reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Vishay, Vishay Electronics and their subsidiaries and affiliates.

(b)The parties acknowledge that it is impossible to measure in money the damages that will accrue to one party in the event that the other party breaches any of the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7 and that any such damages, in any event, would be inadequate and insufficient.  Therefore, if Executive breaches any restrictive covenant contained in this Section 7, Vishay Electronics shall be entitled to an injunction restraining the breaching party from violating such restrictive covenant.  If Vishay shall institute any action or proceeding to enforce a restrictive covenant contained in this Section 7, Executive hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such action or proceeding, the claim or defense that Vishay Electronics has an adequate remedy at law.

(c)In the event of a breach of any of the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7, the parties agree that Vishay and Vishay Electronics, in addition to any injunctive relief as described in Section 7.5(b), shall be entitled to any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy.

(d)If any of the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7 are deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of their extent, duration or geographical scope or otherwise, the parties contemplate that the court shall revise such extent, duration, geographical scope or other provision but only to the extent required in order to render such restrictions enforceable, and enforce any such restriction in its revised form for all purposes in the manner contemplated hereby.

7.6.Consideration.  Executive hereby acknowledges that Vishay Electronics’ obligation to make payments to Executive pursuant to Section 4 and Section 6 of this Agreement is in consideration of Executive’s agreement to be bound by and comply with the provisions of this Section 7.

8.Miscellaneous.

Re:Third Amendment to Employment Agreement

Dear Lori:

Reference is made to that certain employment agreement entered into on February 15, 2018, as amended on February 28, 2020 and February 23, 2021 (collectively, the “Employment Agreement”).  Effective on January 1, 2023 and subject to your continued employment with Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (or a subsidiary thereof) through that date, the Employment Agreement is hereby amended as described below.

1.Section 1.8(a)(iii) of the Employment Agreement is amended by the replacement of the word “kilometers” with the word “miles.”

2.Section 1.8(b) of the Employment Agreement is deleted in its entirety.

3.Section 4 of the Employment Agreement is replaced in its entirety with the following:

4.1Base Salary.  Vishay Europe shall pay Executive a base salary of not less than €476,000 per year (as adjusted from time to time, the "Base Salary").  Such Base Salary will be reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee and will be paid in accordance with Vishay Europe's standard salary policies as they exist from time to time, subject to such deductions, if any, as are required by law or elected by Executive.

4.2Bonus.  For each fiscal year ending both during the Term and prior to the time that notice of termination is given by either party, Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual performance bonus (“Bonus”) payable in cash, with a target opportunity equal to 100% of her Base Salary.  The actual amount of Bonus payable to Executive shall be determined by the Compensation Committee and shall be based upon the achievement of certain corporate and/or individual performance goals to be established by the Compensation Committee in its reasonable discretion.

4.3Annual Equity Grant.

(a)On or about each January 1st occurring both during the Term and prior to the time that notice of termination is given by either party, Executive will be eligible to receive an annual equity award under the Stock Incentive Program (or any successor plan or arrangement thereof).

(i)With respect to the 2023 calendar year: (A) the stated value of Executive’s annual equity award will be at least €800,000 (provided Executive then remains in service and notice of termination has not been given by either party), and (B) the 2023 equity award will be comprised of an equal number of restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs); and (C) except as otherwise specified herein, all other terms of the 2023 equity award will be determined by the Compensation Committee, in its discretion. The stated value of the 2023 equity award will be converted into an aggregate number of units by dividing such value by the closing price of Vishay common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the trading date immediately preceding the grant date.  The resulting aggregate number of units will then be divided evenly between RSUs and PRSUs.

(ii)With respect to calendar years after 2023, the size of  Executive’s annual equity award and, except as otherwise specified herein, all other terms of each year’s equity award, will be determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion.

(b)With respect to any annual equity awards granted to Executive by Vishay prior to the 2023 calendar year, if Executive’s service ceases due to (i) termination by Vishay Europe without Cause, (ii) resignation by Executive with Good Reason (or for any reason after Executive attains age 62, unless Cause then exists), or (iii) her death or Disability, then subject in each case (other than death) to Executive’s execution of a release of claims in favor of Vishay and its subsidiaries and affiliates in accordance with Section 6.2, any service-based vesting criteria applicable to such equity awards will be deemed satisfied and any performance-based vesting criteria applicable to such equity awards will remain in effect.

(c)With respect to any annual equity awards granted to Executive by Vishay or its successor after the 2022 calendar year, if Executive’s service ceases due to (i) resignation by Executive for any reason after Executive attains age 62 (unless Cause then exists), or (ii) Executive’s death or Disability, (iii) termination by Vishay Europe without Cause upon or within one year following a Change in Control, or (iv) resignation by Executive with Good Reason upon or within one year following a Change in Control, then subject in each case (other than death) to Executive’s execution of a release of claims in favor of Vishay and its subsidiaries and affiliates in accordance with Section 6.2, any service-based vesting criteria applicable to such equity awards will be deemed satisfied and any performance-based vesting criteria applicable to such equity awards will remain in effect.

(d)Upon a Change in Control, to the extent Executive’s then outstanding equity awards granted pursuant to this Section 4.3 are not assumed or continued by the surviving company, such awards will then vest (with any performance-based vesting criteria deemed satisfied at the target level or, if greater, at the level of actual performance achieved through the date of such Change in Control).

This letter agreement shall constitute an amendment to the Employment Agreement, and except as otherwise set forth herein, all other terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement remain unchanged.

This letter agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original agreement and all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.  The counterparts of this letter agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile or other electronic signature (including portable document format) by any of the parties and the receiving parties may rely on the receipt of such document so executed and delivered electronically or by facsimile as if the original had been received.

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into on July 14, 2022 by and between VISHAY ISRAEL LTD., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (“Vishay Israel”), VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Vishay”), and JEFFREY WEBSTER (“Executive”).

WHEREAS, effective on January 1, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), Vishay, Vishay Israel and Executive wish to amend and restate the Prior Agreement to reflect certain new terms and conditions of employment, as set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.Definitions.

1.1.“Accrued Compensation” means (a) earned but unpaid Base Salary (as defined below) and (b) unpaid expense reimbursements.

1.2.“Board of Directors” means the Board of Directors of Vishay.

1.3.“Cause” means any of the following:

(c)Executive’s (i) willful and repeated failure to substantially perform his duties under this Agreement (other than as a result of total or partial incapacity due to physical or mental illness or injury) or (ii) willful and repeated failure to substantially comply with any policy of Vishay and/or its subsidiaries applicable to Executive; provided, however, that a termination pursuant to this clause (c) will not become effective unless Executive fails to cure such failure to perform or comply within twenty (20) days after written notice thereof from Vishay Israel.

For avoidance of doubt, a termination due to Disability will not constitute a termination without Cause.

1.4.“Change in Control” has the meaning defined in the Stock Incentive Program.

1.5.“Compensation Committee” means the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

1.6.“Competing Business” means any business or venture located anywhere in the world that is engaged in any business activities if Vishay or any subsidiary or affiliate of Vishay is engaged in such activities or has significant plans to enter into such activities on the Date of Termination.

1.7.“Date of Termination” means (a) the effective date on which Executive’s employment by Vishay Israel terminates within the meaning of a “separation from service” under section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); or (b) if Executive’s employment by Vishay Israel terminates by reason of death, the date of Executive’s death.

1.8.“Disability” means a disability entitling Executive to long-term disability benefits under a plan of Vishay (or a subsidiary or affiliate of Vishay).

1.9.“Good Reason” means without Executive’s express written consent, the occurrence of any of the following events:

(i)any material and adverse change in Executive’s titles, offices, duties, or responsibilities (including reporting responsibilities) with respect to Vishay or any subsidiary or affiliate of Vishay from those set forth in this Agreement;

(ii)a material reduction in Executive’s annual Base Salary (as the same may be increased from time to time after the Effective Date);

(iii)relocation of Executive’s principal place of performance by more than 50 miles from Petach Tikva, Israel (excluding for this purpose reasonable travel from time to time); or

(iv)a material breach of this Agreement by Vishay Israel;

provided however, that none of the foregoing events or conditions will constitute Good Reason unless Executive provides Vishay Israel with written objection to the event or condition within 30 days following the initial occurrence thereof, Vishay Israel does not reverse or otherwise cure the event or condition within 30 days of receiving that written objection, and Executive resigns his employment within 90 days following the expiration of that cure period.

1.10.“Non-Competition Period” means the period commencing upon the Effective Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Date of Termination.

1.11.“Non-Solicitation Period” means the period commencing upon the Effective Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Date of Termination.

2.Term. The “Term” of Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue until terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  If Executive’s employment ceases for any reason prior to the Effective Date, this Agreement will be void ab initio and the effects of such cessation will be determined without regard to this Agreement.

3.Duties.

3.1.Position.  During the Term, Executive shall serve as the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Vishay, or any other position which will be agreed by the parties, reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer of Vishay or such other individual as may be designated by the Chief Executive Officer of Vishay from time to time.

3.2.Authority and Responsibility.  Executive shall have authority and responsibility customarily applicable to the positions described in Section 3.1, and shall perform such other duties as may be assigned by Vishay from time to time.

3.3.Activities.  Excluding any periods of vacation, personal, sick leave and other permitted absences to which Executive is entitled according to this Agreement and applicable law, Executive shall devote his full professional attention and best efforts during the Term to the business and affairs of Vishay and its subsidiaries and affiliates.  It shall not be considered a violation of the foregoing for Executive to (a) provide services to Vishay or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall be provided pursuant to this Agreement and without payment of additional consideration), (b) serve on corporate, industry, civic or charitable boards or committees, or (c) manage personal investments, so long as such activities would be permitted under Section 7 and do not interfere with the performance of Executive’s responsibilities as an employee of Vishay Israel in accordance with this Agreement.

3.4.Place of Performance.  Executive recognizes that while Executive’s principal place of business shall be Israel, his duties will require, at Vishay Israel’s expense, travel to domestic and international locations.

4.Compensation.

4.1.Base Salary.  Vishay Israel shall pay Executive a base salary of not less than ILS 1,850,000 per year (as adjusted from time to time, the “Base Salary”).  Such Base Salary will be reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee and will be paid in accordance with Vishay Israel’s standard salary policies as they exist from time to time, subject to such deductions, if any, as are required by law or elected by Executive. Such Base Salary includes any remuneration for any work beyond standard working hours at Vishay Israel, including overtime work.

4.2.Bonus.  For each fiscal year ending both during the Term and prior to the time that notice of termination is given by either party, Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual performance bonus (“Bonus”) payable in cash, with a target opportunity equal to 100% of his Base Salary.  The actual amount of Bonus payable to Executive shall be determined by the Compensation Committee, and shall be based upon the achievement of certain corporate and/or individual performance goals to be established by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. The Bonus, if paid, shall not be deemed to form part of Executive's salary for any purpose, including for determining pension and severance contributions or other employment benefits.  The Bonus is a limited, conditional and specific benefit and, if paid, shall not create any contractual or other right to receive any similar award, or benefit in lieu of any similar award, in the future.

4.3.Annual Equity Grant.

(a)On or about each January 1st occurring both during the Term and prior to the time that notice of termination is given by either party, Executive will be eligible to receive an annual equity award under the Stock Incentive Program (or any successor plan or arrangement thereof).

(i)With respect to the 2023 calendar year: (A) the stated value of Executive’s annual equity award will be at least ILS 4,350,000 (provided Executive then remains in service and notice of termination has not been given by either party), and (B) the 2023 equity award will be comprised of an equal number of restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs); and (C) except as otherwise specified herein, all other terms of the 2023 equity award will be determined by the Compensation Committee, in its discretion. The stated value of the 2023 equity award will be converted into an aggregate number of units by dividing such value by the closing price of Vishay common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the trading date immediately preceding the grant date.  The resulting aggregate number of units will then be divided evenly between RSUs and PRSUs.

(ii)With respect to calendar years after 2023, the size of Executive’s annual equity award and, except as otherwise specified herein, all other terms of each year’s equity award, will be determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion.

(b)With respect to any annual equity awards granted to Executive by Vishay prior to the Effective Date, if Executive’s service ceases due to (i) termination by Vishay Israel without Cause, (ii) resignation by Executive with Good Reason (or for any reason after Executive attains age 62, unless Cause then exists), or (iii) his death or Disability, then subject in each case (other than death) to Executive’s execution of a release of claims in favor of Vishay and its subsidiaries and affiliates in accordance with Section 6.2(c), any service-based vesting criteria applicable to such equity awards will be deemed satisfied and any performance-based vesting criteria applicable to such equity awards will remain in effect.

(c)With respect to any annual equity awards granted to Executive by Vishay or its successor on or after the Effective Date, if Executive’s service ceases due to (i) resignation by Executive for any reason after Executive attains age 62 (unless Cause then exists), (ii) Executive’s death or Disability, (iii) termination by Vishay Israel without Cause upon or within one year following a Change in Control, or (iv) resignation by Executive with Good Reason upon or within one year following a Change in Control, then subject in each case (other than death) to Executive’s execution of a release of claims in favor of Vishay and its subsidiaries and affiliates in accordance with Section 6.2(c), any service-based vesting criteria applicable to such equity awards will be deemed satisfied and any performance-based vesting criteria applicable to such equity awards will remain in effect.

(d)Upon a Change in Control, to the extent Executive’s then outstanding equity awards granted pursuant to this Section 4.3 are not assumed or continued by the surviving company, such awards will then vest (with any performance-based vesting criteria deemed satisfied at the target level or, if greater, at the level of actual performance achieved through the date of such Change in Control).

(e)Any grant of an annual equity award shall be subject to the execution of an award agreement by Executive, in the form provided to Executive by Vishay.

4.4.Non-application of the Working Hours and Rest Law.  It is agreed between the parties that the position Executive is to hold within Vishay Israel is a management position and one which requires a special measure of personal trust, as such terms are defined in the Working Hours and Rest Law 5711 - 1951, as amended (the “Law”).  In light of this relationship of trust, neither the provisions of the Law nor those of any other law amending or replacing the Law will apply to the performance by Executive of his duties hereunder. Executive acknowledges that the consideration set for him hereunder nevertheless includes within it consideration that would otherwise have been due to him pursuant to such law. Thus, Executive may be required, from time to time and according to the work load demanded of him, to work beyond the regular working hours or regular working days, and Executive shall not be entitled to any further compensation other than as determined by the policy of Vishay Israel applicable to Executive or other than as specified in this Agreement.

4.5.Special Agreement. This Agreement is a personal agreement, and, subject to any applicable law, the provisions of any current or future collective bargaining agreement (general or special), any arrangements or extension orders, any custom or practice, and/or any other agreements between Vishay Israel and its employees do not, and will not, apply to the employment of Executive.

5.Additional Rights.

5.1.Participation in Benefit Plans and Programs.  During the Term, Executive and his eligible dependents shall be entitled to participate in any and all medical insurance, group health insurance, disability insurance, life insurance and retirement plans which are generally made available by Vishay Israel to its senior executives, subject to the eligibility requirements and other provisions of such plans and programs.

5.2.Reimbursement of Expenses.  In accordance with Vishay Israel’s standard reimbursement policies as they exist from time to time, Vishay Israel shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable and documented travel, business entertainment and other business expenses incurred by Executive in connection with the performance of his duties under this Agreement.

5.3.Vacation, Personal and Sick Days.  Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation, holidays, personal and sick days as detailed in Appendix A herein, in accordance with and subject to Vishay Israel’s policies, as in effect from time to time.

5.4.Indemnification.  Vishay shall indemnify Executive to the extent provided in Vishay’s certificate of incorporation and/or bylaws, as in effect from time to time, and subject to applicable law.

6.Termination of Employment: Compensation Upon Termination.

6.1.Termination.  Executive’s employment with Vishay Israel may be terminated by Executive or by Vishay Israel for any reason.

6.2.Compensation Upon Termination.

(a)Termination by Vishay Israel Without Cause; Termination by Executive With Good Reason.  In the event Executive’s employment with Vishay Israel is terminated by Vishay Israel without Cause or by Executive with Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to the following:

(i)A lump sum cash payment equal to all Accrued Compensation, such payment to be made within 15 days after the Date of Termination, but not later than Vishay Israel’s next salary pay date in accordance with Vishay Israel’s standard payroll practices.

(ii)Payment of any otherwise earned but unpaid Bonus for any fiscal year ending prior to the Date of Termination, payable in the same manner and at the same time as such Bonus would have been paid in the absence of such termination.

(iii)Payment of a pro-rata Bonus for the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs, determined and paid in the same manner and at the same time as such Bonus would have been determined and paid in the absence of such termination.  The pro-ration of such Bonus will be determined based on the number of days of the applicable fiscal year that have transpired prior to the Date of Termination relative to the total number of days contained in that fiscal year.

(iv)Payment of the Severance Amount (as defined below) over the period beginning on the Date of Termination and ending on the third anniversary of the Date of Termination, to be paid in equal installments, in accordance with Vishay Israel’s standard payroll practices, as in effect from time to time, but no less frequently than monthly, and which shall commence in accordance with Section 6.2(c); provided, however, that if such termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason occurs within 16 months following a Change in Control that also constitutes a “change in control event” described in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(i)(5)(i), the Severance Amount otherwise payable under this clause (iv) will instead be paid in a single lump sum at the time specified in Section 6.2(c). The “Severance Amount” shall be calculated by multiplying (y) one-twelfth (1/12) of Executive’s then-current Base Salary, by (z)(I) thirty-six (36) less (II) the number of years of service credited (or that should have been credited) to Executive as of the date his employment ceases for the purposes of calculating Executive’s statutory severance pay entitlement under the Severance Pay Law – 1963 (as amended) .

(v)All rights Executive is entitled to under the terms of Vishay Israel’s benefit plans or arrangements (other than severance benefit plans).

(b)Termination For Any Other Reason.  In the event Executive’s employment with Vishay Israel is terminated for any reason other than as specified in Section 6.2(a), Executive shall be entitled to (i) a lump sum cash payment equal to all Accrued Compensation, such payment to be made within 15 days after the Date of Termination, but not later than Vishay Israel's next salary pay date in accordance with Vishay Israel’s standard payroll practices; (ii) all rights Executive is entitled to under the terms of Vishay Israel benefit plans or arrangements; and (iii) in the case of a cessation of employment due to Executive’s death or Disability, the Bonus payments described above in Sections 6.2(a)(ii) and (iii); provided, in the case of a cessation due to Disability, such Bonus payments will be conditioned on Executive’s execution of a release of claims in favor of Vishay and its subsidiaries and affiliates in accordance with Section 6.2(c).

(c)Release.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) Executive shall not be entitled to receive any payments pursuant to Sections 6.2(a)(ii), (iii) and (iv) unless Executive has executed and delivered to Vishay Israel and Vishay a release of all claims in the form prescribed by Vishay Israel (“Release”), and such Release becomes irrevocable within 60 days following the Date of Termination, and (ii) Executive shall be entitled to receive such payments only so long as Executive has not breached the provisions of Section 7 hereof.  The severance benefits described in Sections 6.2(a)(ii), (iii) and (iv) will be paid or begin to be paid, as applicable, within 65 days following the Date of Termination (or, in the case of the payments described in Sections 6.2(a)(ii) and (iii), at such later time as such Bonuses would have otherwise been payable in the absence of such termination); provided, that if the 60-day period described in the previous sentence begins in one taxable year and ends in the next succeeding taxable year, such payments shall not be paid or begin to be paid, as applicable, until the succeeding taxable year.

6.3.Section 409A.

(a)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or otherwise, to the extent any expense, reimbursement or in-kind benefit provided to Executive constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of section 409A of the Code, and its implementing regulations and guidance (collectively, “Section 409A”); (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to Executive during any calendar year will not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to Executive in any other calendar year; (ii) the reimbursements for expenses for which Executive is entitled to be reimbursed shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the applicable expense is incurred; and (iii) the right to payment or reimbursement or in-kind benefits hereunder may not be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit.

(b)For purposes of Section 409A, each payment in a series of payments provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will be deemed a separate payment.

(c)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or otherwise, any payment or benefit described in Section 6 that represents a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A shall only be paid or provided to Executive upon his “separation from service” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(h) (or any successor regulation).  To the extent compliance with the requirements of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(2) (or any successor provision) is necessary to avoid the application of an additional tax under Section 409A to payments due to Executive upon or following his “separation from service,” then notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (or any otherwise applicable plan, policy, agreement or arrangement), any such payments that are otherwise due within six months following Executive’s “separation from service” will be deferred (without interest) and paid to Executive in a lump sum immediately following that six month period.  In the event Executive dies during that six month period, the amounts deferred on account of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(2) (or any successor provision) shall be paid to the personal representatives of Executive’s estate within sixty (60) days following Executive’s death.  To the extent permitted by Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(or any successor provision), this provision shall not be construed as preventing payments to Executive pursuant to Section 6 in the first six months following Executive’s “separation from service” equal to an amount up to two (2) times the lesser of: (i) Executive’s annualized compensation for the year prior to the “separation from service;” and (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to section 401(a)(17) of the Code.

(d)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or otherwise, all benefits or payments provided to Executive are intended to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or otherwise, payments may only be made under this Agreement upon an event and in a manner permitted by Section 409A or an applicable exemption.

7.Restrictive Covenants.

(c)persuade or seek to persuade any customer of Vishay or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to cease to do business or to reduce the amount of business which the customer has customarily done or contemplates doing with Vishay or such subsidiary or affiliate, whether or not the relationship with such customer was originally established in whole or in part through Executive’s efforts; or

(d)interfere in any manner in the relationship of Vishay or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates with any of their respective customers, suppliers, or independent contractors, whether or not the relationship with such customer, supplier or independent contractor was originally established in whole or in part through Executive’s efforts.

7.4.Non-Disparagement.  Executive agrees not to make any public statements that disparage Vishay, Vishay Israel or their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, officers, directors, products or services.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, statements made in the course of sworn testimony in administrative, judicial or arbitral proceedings (including, without limitation, depositions in connection with such proceedings) shall not be subject to this Section 7.4.

7.5.Acknowledgements Respecting Restrictive Covenants.

(a)Executive has carefully read and considered the provisions of this Section 7 and, having done so, agrees that:

(i)the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7, including, without limitation, the scope and time period of such restrictions, are reasonable, fair and equitable in light of Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement and the benefits to be provided to him under this Agreement; and

(ii)such restrictive covenants are reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Vishay, Vishay Israel and their subsidiaries and affiliates.

(b)The parties acknowledge that it is impossible to measure in money the damages that will accrue to Vishay, Vishay Israel, and their subsidiaries and affiliates in the event that Executive breaches any of the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7 and that any such damages, in any event, would be inadequate and insufficient.  Therefore, if Executive breaches any restrictive covenant contained in this Section 7, Vishay and/or Vishay Israel shall be entitled to an injunction restraining the breaching party from violating such restrictive covenant.  If Vishay and/or Vishay Israel shall institute any action or proceeding to enforce a restrictive covenant contained in this Section 7, Executive hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such action or proceeding, the claim or defense that Vishay or Vishay Israel has an adequate remedy at law.

(c)In the event of a breach of any of the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7, the parties agree that Vishay and Vishay Israel, in addition to any injunctive relief as described in Section 7.5(b), shall be entitled to any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy.

(d)If any of the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7 are deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of their extent, duration or geographical scope or otherwise, the parties contemplate that the court shall revise such extent, duration, geographical scope or other provision but only to the extent required in order to render such restrictions enforceable, and enforce any such restriction in its revised form for all purposes in the manner contemplated hereby.

7.6.Consideration.  Executive hereby acknowledges that Vishay Israel’s obligation to make payments to Executive pursuant to Section 4 and Section 6 of this Agreement is in consideration of Executive’s agreement to be bound by and comply with the provisions of this Section 7.

Executive acknowledges and agrees that any such decision by Vishay and/or Vishay Israel with respect to the forum for adjudicating the Dispute will be binding upon Executive.

(b)If Vishay and/or Vishay Israel refers the Dispute to arbitration, the parties shall nominate a mutually agreed professional arbitrator, who will be a retired Israeli district court judge (the “Arbitrator”), and the Arbitrator will have complete authority to resolve the Dispute.

Reg. §1.409A-1(h) (or any successor regulation).  To the extent compliance with the requirements of Treas.

Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(or any successor provision), this provision shall not be construed as preventing payments to Executive pursuant to Section 6 in the first six months following Executive’s “separation from service” equal to an amount up to two (2) times the lesser of: (i) Executive’s annualized compensation for the year prior to the “separation from service;” and (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to section 401(a)(17) of the Code.

(d)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or otherwise, all benefits or payments provided to Executive are intended to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or otherwise, payments may only be made under this Agreement upon an event and in a manner permitted by Section 409A or an applicable exemption.

(ii)such restrictive covenants are reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Vishay, Vishay Siliconix and their subsidiaries and affiliates.

(b)The parties acknowledge that it is impossible to measure in money the damages that will accrue to one party in the event that the other party breaches any of the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7 and that any such damages, in any event, would be inadequate and insufficient.  Therefore, if Executive breaches any restrictive covenant contained in this Section 7, Vishay Siliconix shall be entitled to an injunction restraining the breaching party from violating such restrictive covenant.  If Vishay shall institute any action or proceeding to enforce a restrictive covenant contained in this Section 7, Executive hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such action or proceeding, the claim or defense that Vishay Siliconix has an adequate remedy at law.

(c)In the event of a breach of any of the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7, the parties agree that Vishay and Vishay Siliconix, in addition to any injunctive relief as described in Section 7.5(b), shall be entitled to any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy.

(d)If any of the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7 are deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of their extent, duration or geographical scope or otherwise, the parties contemplate that the court shall revise such extent, duration, geographical scope or other provision but only to the extent required in order to render such restrictions enforceable, and enforce any such restriction in its revised form for all purposes in the manner contemplated hereby.

7.6.Consideration.  Executive hereby acknowledges that Vishay Siliconix’s obligation to make payments to Executive pursuant to Section 4 and Section 6 of this Agreement is in consideration of Executive’s agreement to be bound by and comply with the provisions of this Section 7.

Mr. Andreas Randebrock

Re:Second Amendment to Employment Agreement

Dear Andreas:

Reference is made to that certain employment agreement entered into on May 20, 2020, as amended on February 23, 2021 (collectively, the “Employment Agreement”).  Effective on January 1, 2023 and subject to your continued employment with Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (or a subsidiary thereof) through that date, the Employment Agreement is hereby amended as described below.

1.Section 1.8(a)(iii) of the Employment Agreement is amended by the replacement of the word “kilometers” with the word “miles.”

2.Section 1.8(b) of the Employment Agreement is deleted in its entirety.

3.Section 4 of the Employment Agreement is replaced in its entirety with the following:

4.1Base Salary.  Vishay Electronic shall pay Executive a base salary of not less than €345,000 per year (as adjusted from time to time, the "Base Salary").  Such Base Salary will be reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee and will be paid in accordance with Vishay Electronic's standard salary policies as they exist from time to time, subject to such deductions, if any, as are required by law or elected by Executive.

4.2Bonus.  For each fiscal year ending both during the Term and prior to the time that notice of termination is given by either party, Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual performance bonus (“Bonus”) payable in cash, with a target opportunity equal to 100% of his Base Salary.  The actual amount of Bonus payable to Executive shall be determined by the Compensation Committee and shall be based upon the achievement of certain corporate and/or individual performance goals to be established by the Compensation Committee in its reasonable discretion.

4.3Annual Equity Grant.

(a)On or about each January 1st occurring both during the Term and prior to the time that notice of termination is given by either party, Executive will be eligible to receive an annual equity award under the Stock Incentive Program (or any successor plan or arrangement thereof).

(i)With respect to the 2023 calendar year: (A) the stated value of Executive’s annual equity award will be at least €210,000 (provided Executive then remains in service and notice of termination has not been given by either party), and (B) the 2023 equity award will be comprised of an equal number of restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs); and (C) except as otherwise specified herein, all other terms of the 2023 equity award will be determined by the Compensation Committee, in its discretion. The stated value of the 2023 equity award will be converted into an aggregate number of units by dividing such value by the closing price of Vishay common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the trading date immediately preceding the grant date.  The resulting aggregate number of units will then be divided evenly between RSUs and PRSUs.

(ii)With respect to calendar years after 2023, the size of Executive’s annual equity award and, except as otherwise specified herein, all other terms of each year’s equity award, will be determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion.

(b)With respect to any annual equity awards granted to Executive by Vishay prior to the 2023 calendar year, if Executive’s service ceases due to (i) termination by Vishay Electronic without Cause, (ii) resignation by Executive with Good Reason (or for any reason after Executive attains age 62, unless Cause then exists), or (iii) his death or Disability, then subject in each case (other than death) to Executive’s execution of a release of claims in favor of Vishay and its subsidiaries and affiliates in accordance with Section 6.2, any service-based vesting criteria applicable to such equity awards will be deemed satisfied and any performance-based vesting criteria applicable to such equity awards will remain in effect.

(c)With respect to any annual equity awards granted to Executive by Vishay or its successor after the 2022 calendar year, if Executive’s service ceases due to (i) resignation by Executive for any reason after Executive attains age 62 (unless Cause then exists), or (ii) Executive’s death or Disability, (iii) termination by Vishay Electronic without Cause upon or within one year following a Change in Control, or (iv) resignation by Executive with Good Reason upon or within one year following a Change in Control, then subject in each case (other than death) to Executive’s execution of a release of claims in favor of Vishay and its subsidiaries and affiliates in accordance with Section 6.2, any service-based vesting criteria applicable to such equity awards will be deemed satisfied and any performance-based vesting criteria applicable to such equity awards will remain in effect.

(d)Upon a Change in Control, to the extent Executive’s then outstanding equity awards granted pursuant to this Section 4.3 are not assumed or continued by the surviving company, such awards will then vest (with any performance-based vesting criteria deemed satisfied at the target level or, if greater, at the level of actual performance achieved through the date of such Change in Control).

This letter agreement shall constitute an amendment to the Employment Agreement, and except as otherwise set forth herein, all other terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement remain unchanged.

This letter agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original agreement and all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. The counterparts of this letter agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile or other electronic signature (including portable document format) by any of the parties and the receiving parties may rely on the receipt of such document so executed and delivered electronically or by facsimile as if the original had been received.

Exhibit 10.7

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into on July 14, 2022, by and between VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Vishay”), and PETER HENRICI (“Executive”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Vishay and Executive are parties to an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated September 18, 2018 (“2018 Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, effective January 1, 2023 (the “Effective Date”) Vishay and Executive wish to amend and restate the 2018 Agreement to reflect certain new terms and conditions of employment, as set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.Definitions.

1.1.“Accrued Compensation” means (a) earned but unpaid Base Salary (as defined below) and (b) unpaid expense reimbursements.

1.2.“Board of Directors” means the Board of Directors of Vishay.

1.3.“Cause” means any of the following:

(c)Executive’s (i) willful and repeated failure to substantially perform his duties under this Agreement (other than as a result of total or partial incapacity due to physical or mental illness or injury) or (ii) willful and repeated failure to substantially comply with any policy of Vishay and/or its subsidiaries applicable to Executive; provided, however, that a termination pursuant to this clause (c) will not become effective unless Executive fails to cure such failure to perform or comply within twenty (20) days after written notice thereof from Vishay.

For avoidance of doubt, a termination due to Disability will not constitute a termination without Cause.

1.4.“Change in Control” has the meaning defined in the Stock Incentive Program.

1.5.“Compensation Committee” means the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

1.6.“Competing Business” means any business or venture located anywhere in the world that is engaged in any business activities to the extent Vishay or any subsidiary or affiliate of Vishay is engaged in such activities or has significant plans to enter into such activities on the Date of Termination.

1.7.“Date of Termination” means (a) the effective date on which Executive’s employment by Vishay terminates within the meaning of a “separation from service” under section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or (b) if Executive’s employment by Vishay terminates by reason of death, the date of Executive’s death.

1.8.“Disability” means a disability entitling Executive to long-term disability benefits under a plan of Vishay (or a subsidiary or affiliate of Vishay).

1.9.“Good Reason” means, without Executive’s express written consent, the occurrence of any of the following events:

(a)any material and adverse change in Executive’s titles, offices, duties, or responsibilities (including reporting responsibilities) with respect to Vishay or any subsidiary or affiliate of Vishay from those set forth in this Agreement;

(b)a material reduction in Executive’s annual Base Salary (as the same may be increased from time to time after the Effective Date);

(c)relocation of Executive’s principal place of performance by more than 50 miles from Malvern, Pennsylvania (excluding for this purpose reasonable travel from time to time and the days that Executive works remotely pursuant to the telecommuting arrangement described in Section 5.1 herein); or

(d)a material breach of this Agreement by Vishay;

provided however, that none of the foregoing events or conditions will constitute Good Reason unless Executive provides Vishay with written objection to the event or condition within 30 days following the initial occurrence thereof, Vishay does not reverse or otherwise cure the event or condition within 30 days of receiving that written objection, and Executive resigns his employment within 90 days following the expiration of that cure period.

1.10.“Non-Competition Period” means the period commencing upon the Effective Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Date of Termination.

1.11.“Non-Solicitation Period” means the period commencing upon the Effective Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Date of Termination.

3.2.Authority and Responsibility.  Executive shall have authority and responsibility customarily applicable to the positions described in Section 3.1, and shall perform such other duties as may be assigned by Vishay from time to time.

3.3.Activities.  Excluding any periods of vacation, personal, sick leave and other permitted absences to which Executive is entitled according to this Agreement and applicable law, Executive shall devote his full professional attention and best efforts during the Term to the business and affairs of Vishay and its subsidiaries and affiliates.  It shall not be considered a violation of the foregoing for Executive to (a) provide services to Vishay or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, (b) serve on corporate, industry, civic or charitable boards or committees, or (c) manage personal investments, so long as such activities would be permitted under Section 7 and do not interfere with the performance of Executive’s responsibilities as an employee of Vishay in accordance with this Agreement.

4.Compensation.

4.1.Base Salary.  Vishay shall pay Executive a base salary of not less than $410,000 per year (as adjusted from time to time, the “Base Salary”).  Such Base Salary will be reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee and will be paid in accordance with Vishay’s standard salary policies as they exist from time to time, subject to such deductions, if any, as are required by law or elected by Executive (for example, with respect to 401(k) plan contributions).

(ii)With respect to calendar years after 2023, the size of Executive’s annual equity award and, except as otherwise specified herein, all other terms of each year’s equity award, will be determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion.

5.Additional Rights.

5.1.Telecommuting.  Executive may work remotely on up to two and one-half days per week approved by his supervisors from time to time.

(iii)Payment of a pro-rata Bonus for the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs, determined and paid in the same manner and at the same time as such Bonus would have been determined and paid in the absence of such termination.  The pro-ration of such Bonus will be determined based on the number of days of the applicable fiscal year that have transpired prior to the Date of Termination relative to the total number of days contained in that fiscal year.

(c)Release.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) Executive shall not be entitled to receive any payments pursuant to Sections 6.2(a)(ii), (iii) and (iv) unless Executive has executed and delivered to Vishay a release of all claims in the form prescribed by Vishay (“Release”), and such Release becomes irrevocable within 60 days following the Date of Termination, and (ii) Executive shall be entitled to receive such payments only so long as Executive has not breached the provisions of Section 7 hereof.  The severance benefits described in Sections 6.2(a)(ii), (iii) and (iv) will be paid or begin to be paid, as applicable, within 65 days following the Date of Termination (or, in the case of the payments described in Sections 6.2(a)(ii) and (iii), at such later time as such Bonuses would have otherwise been payable in the absence of such termination); provided, that if the 60-day period described in the previous sentence begins in one taxable year and ends in the next succeeding taxable year, such payments shall not be paid or begin to be paid, as applicable, until the succeeding taxable year.

6.3.Section 409A.

(a)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or otherwise, to the extent any expense, reimbursement or in-kind benefit provided to Executive constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of section 409A of the Code, and its implementing regulations and guidance (collectively, “Section 409A”); (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to Executive during any calendar year will not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to Executive in any other calendar year; (ii) the reimbursements for expenses for which Executive is entitled to be reimbursed shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the applicable expense is incurred; and (iii) the right to payment or reimbursement or in-kind benefits hereunder may not be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit.

(b)For purposes of Section 409A, each payment in a series of payments provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will be deemed a separate payment.

(c)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or otherwise, any payment or benefit described in Section 6 that represents a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A shall only be paid or provided to Executive upon his “separation from service” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(h) (or any successor regulation).  To the extent compliance with the requirements of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(2) (or any successor provision) is necessary to avoid the application of an additional tax under Section 409A to payments due to Executive upon or following his “separation from service,” then notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (or any otherwise applicable plan, policy, agreement or arrangement), any such payments that are otherwise due within six months following Executive’s “separation from service” will be deferred (without interest) and paid to Executive in a lump sum immediately following that six month period.  In the event Executive dies during that six month period, the amounts deferred on account of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(2) (or any successor provision) shall be paid to the personal representatives of the Executive’s estate within sixty (60) days following Executive’s death.  To the extent permitted by Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(or any successor provision), this provision shall not be construed as preventing payments to Executive pursuant to Section 6 in the first six months following Executive’s “separation from service” equal to an amount up to two (2) times the lesser of: (i) Executive’s annualized compensation for the year prior to the “separation from service;” and (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to section 401(a)(17) of the Code.

(d)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or otherwise, all benefits or payments provided to Executive are intended to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or otherwise, payments may only be made under this Agreement upon an event and in a manner permitted by Section 409A or an applicable exemption.

7.Restrictive Covenants.

(b)hire, solicit for employment, or recruit any person who at the relevant time is or, within the preceding three (3) months, was, an officer, director, employee, independent contractor, subcontractor, manager, partner, principal, consultant, or agent of Vishay or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or induce or encourage any of the foregoing to terminate their employment, contractual or other relationship (as appropriate) with Vishay or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or attempt to do any of the foregoing either on Executive’s own behalf or for the benefit of any third person or entity;

(c)persuade or seek to persuade any customer of Vishay or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to cease to do business or to reduce the amount of business which the customer has customarily done or contemplates doing with Vishay or such subsidiary or affiliate, whether or not the relationship with such customer was originally established in whole or in part through Executive’s efforts; or

(d)interfere in any manner in the relationship of Vishay or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates with any of their respective customers, suppliers, or independent contractors, whether or not the relationship with such customer, supplier or independent contractor was originally established in whole or in part through Executive’s efforts.

7.4.Non-Disparagement.  Executive agrees not to make any public statements that disparage Vishay or its subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, officers, directors, products or services.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, statements made in the course of sworn testimony in administrative, judicial or arbitral proceedings (including, without limitation, depositions in connection with such proceedings) shall not be subject to this Section 7.4.

7.5.Acknowledgements Respecting Restrictive Covenants.

(a)Executive has carefully read and considered the provisions of this Section 7 and, having done so, agrees that:

(ii)such restrictive covenants are reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Vishay and its subsidiaries and affiliates.

(b)The parties acknowledge that it is impossible to measure in money the damages that will accrue to one party in the event that the other party breaches any of the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7 and that any such damages, in any event, would be inadequate and insufficient.  Therefore, if Executive breaches any restrictive covenant contained in this Section 7, Vishay shall be entitled to an injunction restraining the breaching party from violating such restrictive covenant.  If Vishay shall institute any action or proceeding to enforce a restrictive covenant contained in this Section 7, Executive hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such action or proceeding, the claim or defense that Vishay has an adequate remedy at law.

(c)In the event of a breach of any of the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7, the parties agree that Vishay, in addition to any injunctive relief as described in Section 7.5(b), shall be entitled to any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy.

(d)If any of the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7 are deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of their extent, duration or geographical scope or otherwise, the parties contemplate that the court shall revise such extent, duration, geographical scope or other provision but only to the extent required in order to render such restrictions enforceable, and enforce any such restriction in its revised form for all purposes in the manner contemplated hereby.

7.6.Consideration.  Executive hereby acknowledges that Vishay’s obligation to make payments to Executive pursuant to Section 4 and Section 6 of this Agreement is in consideration of Executive’s agreement to be bound by and comply with the provisions of this Section 7.

Exhibit 99.1

Vishay Intertechnology Advances Its Executive Transition Plan

Malvern, PA, July 18, 2022 – Vishay Intertechnology, Inc., (NYSE: VSH), one of the world's largest manufacturers of discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components, announced that, as part of the Board of Directors’ executive transition plan, three executive officers will leave the Company effective December 31, 2022 and two new executive officers have been appointed, effective January 1, 2023. In addition, the Board’s independent Compensation Committee has approved employment agreements for the executive management team that include changes to the executive compensation programs.

Johan Vandoorn, Executive Vice President – Chief Technical Officer; Clarence Tse, Executive Vice President and Business Head Semiconductors; and, David Valletta, Executive Vice President – Global Sales will leave the Company on December 31, 2022.  Mr. Tse’s responsibilities will be absorbed by Jeff Webster, who was previously appointed by the Board of Directors to the newly created position of Chief Operating Officer effective January 1, 2023.  The Company  intends to evaluate internal and external candidates to fill the position of Executive Vice President – Global Sales and has engaged a global executive search firm to assist it in this effort.

Effective January 1, 2023, Roy Shoshani is promoted to the position of Executive Vice President – Chief Technical Officer (succeeding Mr. Vandoorn) and Peter Henrici is promoted to the position of Executive Vice President – Corporate Communications, a newly created role, while continuing to serve as Corporate Secretary.  Both Messrs. Shoshani and Henrici will report to Joel Smejkal, who was previously appointed by the Board to succeed Dr. Gerald Paul as President and Chief Executive Officer effective January 1, 2023.

“On behalf of the Board, I would like to express my deep appreciation to Johan, Clarence and David for their long-standing service, their contributions to Vishay’s success and dedication to the Company’s  operational excellence,” said Marc Zandman, Executive Chair of the Board.

“Following the Board’s appointments of Joel to succeed Dr. Paul as President and CEO, and Jeff to the newly created position of Chief Operating Officer, the planned changes in the executive management team announced today are intended to further evolve Vishay’s strategic priorities and orient the Company for growth, leveraging our solid cash flow generation, sound operational capabilities and broad product portfolio,” added Mr.  Zandman.  “As part of our executive transition process, the Compensation Committee also determined that it was the right time to strengthen the equity component of Vishay’s executive compensation incentive programs. In addition, Joel, in his position as Chief Executive Officer, will be required to own at least three times his base salary in aggregate market value of shares of Vishay stock. Our intention in making these changes is to ensure alignment of Vishay’s executive management team with stockholder interests and the executive compensation program with market practices.”

Mr. Shoshani has held various positions of increasing responsibility since joining Vishay in 2004, including Vice President Integrated Circuits Division, Vice President R&D – Semiconductors, and Deputy to the Chief Technical Officer, his current position.

Mr. Henrici has held various positions in marketing communications, investor relations, and corporate treasury since joining Vishay in 1998. He has been responsible for corporate communications since 2006 and was appointed Corporate Secretary in 2012.
