DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS - - - -------------------------------- General Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, "Vishay" or the "Company") is a leading international manufacturer and supplier of passive electronic components, particularly resistors and tantalum and film capacitors. Resistors, the most common component in electronic circuits, are used to adjust and regulate levels of voltage and current. Capacitors perform energy storage, frequency control, timing and filtering functions in almost all types of electronic equipment. The Company's products are used in a broad variety of electronic applications, including those in the computer, telecommunications, military/aerospace, instrument, industrial, automotive, office equipment and entertainment industries. Through a series of acquisitions over the last eight years, the Company has grown from a small manufacturer of precision resistors and strain gages to one of the world's largest manufac- turers and suppliers of a broad line of passive electronic compo- nents. The Company's acquisition strategy has focused on acquiring manufacturers of those types of quality products in which the Company has strong marketing organizations and technical expertise but who have encountered operating, financial or management difficulties. In connection with each acquisition, the Company has implemented programs to realize synergies between its existing businesses and the acquired business. These programs have focused on reducing selling, general and administrative expenses and maximizing production efficiencies, including the integration of redundant sales offices and administrative functions and the transfer of some production operations to regions where the Company can take advantage of lower labor costs and available tax and other incentives. The Company's first major acquisition was the purchase in 1985 of a 50% interest in Dale Electronics, Inc. ("Dale"), a United States producer of precision and commercial resistors, magnetic components and plasma displays. In 1987, the Company established a major presence in Germany with the acquisition of Draloric Electronic GmbH ("Draloric"), strengthening the Company's metal film resistor and specialty resistor businesses. In 1988, the Company acquired the remaining 50% interest in Dale as well as all of the outstanding shares of Sfernice, S.A., a French manufacturer of resistors, potentiometers and printed circuit boards. Subse- quently, Vishay acquired several small United States inductor manufacturers and one French inductor manufacturer. In 1992, the Company acquired the worldwide tantalum capacitor and United States thick film resistor network businesses of American Annuity Group, Inc., formerly Sprague Technologies, Inc. ("STI"). In January 3 1993, Vishay exercised its option to purchase 81% of the outstanding share capital of Roederstein Spezialfabriken fur Bauelemente der Elektronik und Kondensatoren der Starkstromtechnik GmbH ("Roederstein"). Vishay acquired its initial 19% interest in Roederstein in February 1992. Roederstein's principal products include film, aluminum electrolytic and tantalum capacitors as well as resistors. It also manufactures single layer ceramic capacitors, heavy current capacitors and triplers. Most recently, on July 2, 1993, Vishay acquired the assets of the tantalum capacitor business of Philips Electronics North America Corporation, a subsidiary of Philips Electronics N.V., for approximately $11 million. The Company currently operates as five separate business units: (i) Vishay Electronic Components, U.S., which is comprised of Dale, a manufacturer and supplier of resistors, the Vishay Resistive Systems Unit, which primarily manufactures high performance foil resistors and thin film resistor networks, and Sprague, which consists of the tantalum capacitor and thick film resistor network manufacturing businesses acquired from STI; (ii) Draloric/Roederstein, German-based manufacturers and suppliers of resistors and capacitors in Europe; (iii) Sfernice, S.A., a resistor producer in France; (iv) Measurements Group, Inc., which produces resistive sensors and other stress measuring devices in the United States; and (v) Vishay Components (UK) Ltd., a manufacturer and supplier of the Company's products in the United Kingdom. Vishay was incorporated in Delaware in 1962 and maintains its principal executive offices at 63 Lincoln Highway, Malvern, Pennsylvania 19355-2120. The telephone number is (610) 644-1300. Products Vishay designs, manufactures and markets electronic components that cover a wide range of products and technologies. The products primarily consist of fixed resistors, tantalum and film capacitors, and, to a lesser extent, inductors, specialty ceramic capacitors, transformers, potentiometers, plasma displays and thermistors. Resistors are basic components used in all forms of electronic circuitry to adjust and regulate levels of voltage and current. They vary widely in precision and cost, and are manufactured in numerous materials and forms. Resistive components may be either fixed or variable, the distinction being whether the resistance is adjustable (variable) or not (fixed). Resistors can also be used as measuring devices, such as Vishay's resistive sensors. Resistive sensors, or strain gages, are used in electronic measurement and experimental stress analysis systems, as 4 well as in transducers, for measuring loads (scales), acceleration and fluid pressure. Fixed resistive components can be broadly categorized as discrete components or networks. A discrete component is designed to perform a single function and is incorporated by the customer in the circuitry of a system which requires that particular function. A network, on the other hand, is a microcircuit (consisting of a number of resistors placed on a ceramic base), which is designed to perform a number of standard functions. Vishay manufactures discrete resistors and networks both of which are principally sold in the precision or higher quality segments of the resistor market (i.e., fixed precision wirewound, metal film and foil resistors and network resistors). The Company's resistive products primarily consist of fixed resistors (foil and thin film resistors, wire-wound resistors, metal film resistors, oxide film resistors, thermistors, thick film resistor chips, networks (microcircuits) and resistive sensors); variable resistors (trimmers and potentiometers); magnetic components (inductors and transformers) and printed circuit boards. Vishay produces resistors for virtually every segment of the resistive product market, from resistors used in the highest quality precision instruments for which the performance of the resistors is the most important requirement, to resistors for which price is the most important factor. Capacitors perform energy storage, frequency control, timing and filtering functions in most types of electronic equip- ment. The more important applications for capacitors are (i) electronic filtering for linear and switching power supplies, (ii) decoupling and bypass of electronic signals or integrated circuits and circuit boards, and (iii) frequency control, timing and conditioning of electronic signals for a broad range of applica- tions. The Company's capacitor products primarily consist of solid tantalum chip capacitors, solid tantalum leaded capacitors, wet/foil tantalum capacitors and film capacitors. The tantalum capacitor is the smallest and most stable type of capacitor for its range of capacitance. Markets The Company's products are sold primarily to other manufacturers and, to a much lesser extent, to United States and foreign government agencies. Its products are used in, among other things, the circuitry of measuring instruments, industrial equip- ment, automotive applications including engine controls and fuel injection systems, process control systems, computer-related products, telecommunications, military and aerospace applications, medical instruments and scales. 5 Approximately 41% of the Company's net sales for the year ended December 31, 1993 was attributable to sales to customers in the United States while the remainder was attributable to sales primarily in Europe. In the United States, products are marketed primarily through independent manufacturers' representatives (who are compensated solely on a commission basis), the Company's own sales personnel and independent distributors. The Company has regional sales personnel in several locations to provide technical and sales support for independent manufacturers' representatives throughout the United States, Mexico and Canada. In addition, the Company uses independent distributors to resell its products. Internationally, products are sold to customers in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Israel, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and other European and Pacific Rim countries through Company sales offices, independent manufacturers' representatives and distributors. The Company endeavors to have its products incorporated into the design of electronic equipment at the research and proto- type stages. Vishay employs its own staff of application and field engineers who work with its customers, independent manufacturers' representatives and distributors to solve technical problems and develop products to meet specific needs. One of the fastest growing markets for passive electronic components is for surface mounted devices. These devices adhere to the surface of a circuit board rather than being secured by leads that pass through holes to the back side of the board. Surface mounting provides certain advantages over through-hole mounting, including the ability to place more components on a circuit board. The Company believes it has taken advantage of the growth of the surface mount market and is an industry leader in designing and marketing surface mount devices. The Company offers a wide range of these devices, including both thick and thin film resistor chips and networks, capacitors, inductors, oscillators, transformers and potentiometers, as well as a number of component packaging styles to facilitate automated product assembly by its customers. Sales of the Company's products to manufacturers in defense-related industries have continued to decline over the past year, primarily as a result of reduced governmental procurements of defense-related products. The Company has qualified certain products under various military specifications, approved and monitored by the United States Defense Electronic Supply Center ("DESC"), and under certain European military specifications. Classification levels have been established by DESC based upon the rate of failure of products to meet specifications (the "Classifi- cation Level"). In order to maintain the Classification Level of a product, tests must be continuously performed, and the results of these tests must be reported to DESC. If the product fails to meet the requirements for the applicable Classification Level, the product's classification may be reduced to a less stringent level. In that event, the Company's product may not qualify for use as a 6 component in other products required to meet a more stringent Classification Level, although the Company's product may still be sold for use in other products requiring a less stringent classifi- cation. After completion of additional retesting, however, the product may again be classified at its original level. Sales of the product may be adversely affected pending the completion of any such additional retesting and the resumption of the original Classification Level. Various United States manufacturing facili- ties from time to time experience a product Classification Level modification. During the time that such level is modified for any specific product, net sales and earnings derived from such product may be adversely affected. The Company is undertaking to have the quality systems at all of its major manufacturing facilities approved under the established ISO 9000 international quality control standard. ISO 9000 is a comprehensive set of quality program standards developed by the International Standards Organization. Several of the Company's manufacturing operations have already received ISO 9000 approval and others are actively pursuing such approval. Vishay's largest customers vary from year to year, and no customer has long-term commitments to purchase products of the Company. No customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's sales for the year ended December 31, 1993. Research and Development The Company maintains separate research and development staffs and promotes separate programs at a number of its production facilities to develop new products and new applications of existing products, and to improve product and manufacturing techniques. This decentralized system encourages individual product development and, from time to time, developments at one manufacturing facility will have applications at another facility. Most of the Company's products and manufacturing processes have been invented, designed and developed by Company engineers and scientists. Company research and development costs were approximately $7.1 million for 1993, $7.1 million for 1992 and $7.0 million for 1991. The Company spends additional amounts for the development of machinery and equipment for new processes and for cost reduction measures. See "Competition". Sources of Supplies Although most materials incorporated in the Company's products are available from a number of sources, certain materials (particularly tantalum) are available only from a limited number of suppliers. In order to protect itself from manufacturing disruptions due to potential supply shortages, the Company 7 maintains a supply of certain critical materials, the nondelivery of which could have a materially adverse effect on the Company. Tantalum metal is the principal material used in the manufacture of tantalum capacitor products. Tantalum is purchased in powder form, primarily under annual contracts with domestic suppliers, at prices that are subject to periodic adjustment. The Company is a major consumer of the world's annual tantalum production. Tantalum, and other required raw materials have generally been available in sufficient quantities, but have been subject to wide price variations. Disruptions in the supply of, or substantial increases in the price of, tantalum metal could have a materially adverse effect on the Company. Inventory and Backlog Although Vishay manufactures standardized products, a substantial portion of its products are produced to meet specific customer specifications. The Company does, however, maintain an inventory of resistors and other components. Backlog of outstand- ing orders for the Company's products was $198.4 million, $134.3 million and $104.5 million, at December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. The increase in backlog at December 31, 1993 and 1992, as compared with prior periods, is attributable to the acquisitions of Roederstein and Sprague, respectively. The current backlog is expected to be filled during the next 12 months. Most of the orders in the Company's backlog may be cancelled by its customers, in whole or in part, although sometimes subject to penalty. To date, however, cancellations have not represented a material portion of the backlog. Competition The Company faces strong competition in its various product lines from both domestic and foreign manufacturers that produce products using technologies similar to those of the Company. Certain of the Company's products compete on the basis of its marketing and distribution network, which provides a high level of customer service, such as design assistance, order expediting and prompt delivery. In addition, the Company's competitive position depends on its product quality, know-how, proprietary data, marketing and service capabilities, business reputation and price. A number of the Company's customers are contractors or subcontractors on various United States and foreign government contracts. Under certain United States Government contracts, retroactive adjustments can be made to contract prices affecting the profit margin on such contracts. The Company believes that its profits are not excessive and, accordingly, no provision has been made for any such adjustment. 8 In several areas the Company strengthens its market position by conducting seminars and educational programs for customers and for potential customers. Although the Company has numerous United States and foreign patents covering certain of its products and manufacturing processes, and acquired various patents with the acquisition of the STI tantalum capacitor and network lines, no particular patent is considered material to the business of the Company. Manufacturing Operations The Company conducts manufacturing operations in three principal geographic regions: the United States, Europe and Israel. At December 31, 1993, approximately 40% of the Company's identifiable assets were located in the United States, approximately 50% were located in Europe, approximately 9% were located in Israel and 1% in other regions. In the United States, the Company's main manufacturing facilities are located in Nebraska, South Dakota, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Maine. In Europe, the Company's main manufacturing facilities are located in Selb and Landshut, Germany and Nice and Tours, France. In Israel, manufacturing facilities are located in Holon and Dimona. The Company also maintains manufacturing facilities in Juarez, Mexico and Toronto, Canada. For the year ended December 31, 1993, sales of products manufactured in Israel accounted for approximately 8% of the Company's net sales. The Company conducts manufacturing operations in Israel in order to take advantage of the relatively low wage rates in Israel and several incentive programs instituted by the Government of Israel, including certain tax abatements. These programs have contributed substantially to the growth and profitability of the Company. The Company may be materially and adversely affected if these incentive programs were no longer available to the Company or if hostilities were to occur in the Middle East that materially interfere with the Company's operations in Israel. Due to a shift in manufacturing emphasis, resulting from the growing market for surface mount devices, over-capacity at a number of the Company's manufacturing facilities and the relocation of some production to regions with lower labor costs, portions of the Company's work force and certain facilities may not be fully utilized in the future. As a result, the Company may incur significant costs in connection with work force reductions and the closing of additional manufacturing facilities. 9 Environment The Company's manufacturing operations are subject to various federal, state and local laws restricting discharge of materials into the environment. The Company is not involved in any pending or threatened proceedings which would require curtailment of its operations at this time. However, the Company is involved in various legal actions concerning state government enforcement proceedings and various dump site clean-ups. These actions may result in fines and/or clean-up expenses. The Company believes that any fine and/or clean-up expense, if imposed, would not be material. The Company continually expends funds to ensure that its facilities comply with applicable environmental regulations. The Company has nearly completed its undertaking to comply with new environmental regulations, relating to the elimination of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and ozone depleting substances (ODS), and other anticipated compliances with the Clean Air Act amendments of 1990. The Company anticipates that it will undertake capital expenditures of approximately $1,000,000 in fiscal 1994 for general environmental enhancement programs. Employees As of December 31, 1993, the Company employed approximately 14,200 full time employees of whom approximately 8,600 were located outside the United States. The Company hires few employees on a part time basis. While many of the Company's foreign employees are members of trade unions, none of the Company's employees located in the United States are represented by unions except for approximately 172 employees at the North Adams, Massachusetts facility acquired from STI, who are represented by three unions. The Company is currently negotiating the collective bargaining agreements of such domestic employees with each of these unions. The Company believes that its relationship with its employees is excellent. 10 Item 2. PROPERTIES - - - ------- ---------- The Company maintains 53 manufacturing facilities.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL - - - ------- CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ------------------------------------------------- Introduction and Background The Company's sales and net income have increased significantly in the past several years primarily as a result of its acquisitions. Following each acquisition, the Company implemented programs to take advantage of distribution and operating synergies among its businesses. This implementation is reflected in an increase in the Company's sales and in the decline in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of the Company's sales. Since mid-1990, sales of most of the Company's products have been adversely affected by the worldwide slowdown in the electronic components industry. In addition, sales to defense-related industries have declined since the first quarter of 1991. These trends are continuing. Year ended December 31, 1993 compared to Year ended December 31, 1992 Results of Operations - - - --------------------- Net sales for the year ended December 31, 1993 increased by $192,046,000 over the comparable period of the prior year. The increase resulted from the acquisition of Roederstein, effective January 1, 1993. Net sales of Roederstein were $212,124,000 for the year ended December 31, 1993. Net sales, exclusive of Roederstein, decreased by $20,078,000, compared to the same period of the prior year. This decrease in net sales is attributable to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies, which resulted in a decrease in reported Vishay sales of $15,671,000 for the year ended December 31, 1993, and recessionary pressures in Europe. Costs of products sold for the year ended December 31, 1993 were 77.5% of net sales as compared to 76.5% for the comparable period of the prior year. The reason for this increase is that the costs of products sold for Roederstein (prior to the full implementation of synergistic cost reductions) are approx- imately 80% of net sales, while Vishay's business, exclusive of Roederstein, has been operating in the 76% to 78% range. In 1993, grants of $3,424,000 received from the government of Israel, which were utilized to offset start-up costs of new facilities, were recognized as a reduction of costs of products sold. Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 1993 were 13.9% of net sales as compared to 15.3% for the comparable period of the prior year. The current year's lower rates reflect the effect of the acquisition of 16 Roederstein and the ongoing cost savings programs implemented with the acquisition of certain businesses of STI during 1992. Restructuring charges of $6,659,000 for the year ended December 31, 1993 consist primarily of severance costs related to the Company's decision to downsize its European operations, primarily in France, as a result of the European business climate. Income from unusual items of $7,221,000 for the year ended December 31, 1993 represents proceeds received for business interruption insurance claims principally related to operations in Dimona, Israel. Interest costs increased by $1,514,000 for the year ended December 31, 1993 as a result of increased debt incurred for the acquisition of Roederstein. Other income for the year ended December 31, 1993 decreased by $4,410,000 over the comparable period of the prior year because other income for the year ended December 31, 1992 included consulting fees of $2,307,000 from Roederstein. These fees to Vishay were for time and expenses of Vishay personnel utilized by Roederstein in its attempt to restructure itself. Also, other income for the year ended December 31, 1992 included fees of approximately $3,325,000 from STI under one-year sales and distribution agreements. Foreign currency losses for the year ended December 31, 1993 were $1,382,000, as compared to foreign currency losses of $1,594,000 for the year ended December 31, 1992. The effective tax rate of 16.2% for the year ended December 31, 1993 reflects the non-taxability of certain insurance recoveries. The 1993 rate was also affected by increased manufacturing in Israel, where the Company's average income tax rate was approximately 4% in 1993. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 1993, exclusive of the effect of the non- taxable insurance proceeds, was 18.6%. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 1992 was 19.8%. Accounting Changes - - - ------------------ Effective January 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes from the deferred method to the liability method required by FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". The cumulative effect of adopting Statement 109 as of January 1, 1993 was to increase net income by $1,427,000. Application of the new income tax rules also decreased pretax earnings by $2,870,000 for the year ended December 31, 1993 because of increased depreciation expense as a result of Statement 109's requirement to report assets acquired in prior business combinations at their pretax amounts. 17 The Company also adopted FASB Statement No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions", effective January 1, 1993. The Company has elected to recognize the transition obligation on a prospective basis over a twenty-year period. In 1993, the new standard resulted in additional annual net periodic postretirement benefit costs of $1,200,000 before taxes, and $792,000 after taxes, or $0.04 per share. Prior-year financial statements have not been restated to apply the new standard. Year ended December 31, 1992 compared to Year ended December 31, 1991 Net sales for the year ended December 31, 1992 increased $221,943,000 over the comparable period of the prior year. The increase was the result of the inclusion of the businesses acquired from STI effective as of January 1, 1992. Net sales of the acquired businesses were $230,492,000 for the year ended December 31, 1992. For the year ended December 31, 1992, net sales, exclusive of the acquired businesses, decreased by $8,549,000 compared to the same period of the prior year when recessionary pressures affecting sales were not as great. The weakening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies resulted in an increase in reported Vishay sales of $10,418,000 for the year ended December 31, 1992. Costs of products sold for the year ended December 31, 1992 were 76.5% of net sales as compared to 71.9% for the comparable period of the prior year. The reason for this increase is that the costs of products sold for the newly purchased businesses from STI (prior to any synergistic cost reductions) are 80% of net sales, while Vishay's resistor businesses traditionally operate at levels of 70% to 75%. Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 1992 were 15.3% of net sales compared to 17.2% for the comparable period of the prior year. The 15.3% rate reflects the effect of the businesses acquired from STI. The rate applicable to the businesses acquired from STI (approximately 11%) includes the effects of initial cost saving programs installed subsequent to the acquisition. For the year ended December 31, 1992, selling, general and administrative expenses of the Vishay resistor business (approximately 17%) were comparable to the levels experienced in the prior year. Interest costs increased by $3,903,000 for the year ended December 31, 1992 as a result of the increased debt incurred for the purchase of the businesses from STI. Other income for the year ended December 31, 1992 includes consulting fees of $2,307,000 from Roederstein. Other income for the year ended December 31, 1992 also includes fees of approxi- 18 mately $3,325,000 from STI under one-year sales and distribution agreements expiring February 14, 1993, which were entered into in connection with the acquisition of the businesses from STI. The effective tax rate was 19.8% for the year ended December 31, 1992. The effective rate is comparable to the rate of 23.3% for 1991. The 1992 rate was in part affected by increased manufacturing in Israel where the Company's average income tax rate was 7% for 1992. Year ended December 31, 1991 compared to Year ended December 31, 1990 Net sales decreased by $3,313,000 or approximately 1% to $442,283,000 for the year ended December 31, 1991 from $445,596,000 for the year ended December 31, 1990. Sales increased in the United States by 2.7% as a result of acquisitions, which partially offset the effect of the worldwide recession. Sales in Western Europe declined 4.9% compared to the year ended December 31, 1990 as a result of the recession and the strengthening of the dollar against foreign currencies. Price increases did not materially affect sales. Costs of products sold increased to $318,166,000 or 71.9% of sales for the year ended December 31, 1991 from $312,925,000 or 70.2% of sales for the year ended December 31, 1990. The increase in costs of products sold as a percentage of sales reflects increased production costs of relatively flat sales in addition to certain manufacturing inefficiencies during the latter part of 1991. Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased to $75,973,000 or 17.2% of sales for the year ended December 31, 1991 from $77,740,000 or 17.4% of sales for the year ended December 31, 1990 primarily because of the continuation of cost reduction programs introduced during 1990. Expenses of approximately $3,700,000 for layoff costs at the Company's European subsidiaries were incurred during the latter half of 1991. This correction to the work force was made to strengthen the subsidiaries' ability to attain earnings goals and to respond to the current recession. Interest expense decreased by $4,219,000 to $15,207,000 for the year ended December 31, 1991 from $19,426,000 for the year ended December 31, 1990 primarily as a result of payments made on long-term debt and lower interest rates. Other expenses for the year ended December 31, 1991 were $289,000 compared to income of $2,344,000 for the year ended December 31, 1990, primarily due to decreases in investment grants from Israel and interest income. Investment grants and interest 19 income for the year ended December 31, 1991 were $106,000 and $797,000, respectively, compared to $980,000 and $2,257,000, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1990. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 1991 was 23.3% versus 31.5% for the year ended December 31, 1990. The decrease in the effective tax rate resulted from a reduced tax rate for certain Israeli operations and an increase in the propor- tion of earnings taxable in Israel. The lower rate was primarily due to tax advantages of doing business in Israel where the Company's effective average tax rate was approximately 10% at that time. Financial Condition Cash flows from operations were $50,114,000 for the year ended December 31, 1993 compared to $54,357,000 for the prior year and were used primarily to finance capital expenditures. Purchases of property and equipment were $76,813,000 for the year ended December 31, 1993 compared to $49,801,000 for the prior year primarily due to additions of manufacturing equipment for surface mount products and expansion of manufacturing facilities in Israel. The Company's financial condition at December 31, 1993 is strong with the Company's current ratio of 2.1 to 1. The Company's ratio of long-term debt to stockholders' equity was .7 to 1 at December 31, 1993 as compared to .4 to 1 at December 31, 1992. The increase in this ratio resulted from additional borrowings in connection with the acquisition of Roederstein. In connection with the Roederstein acquisition, Vishay entered into a DM 104,316,000 term loan agreement with its lending banks in January 1993. In addition, an Israeli subsidiary of Vishay borrowed $20 million pursuant to an unsecured credit agreement. The funds from the credit facilities were used in connection with the Roederstein acquisition and the refinancing of Roederstein's debt. Vishay and the Banks also amended certain terms of the outstanding $170,000,000 Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated as of January 10, 1992 among Vishay and the Banks and the Amended and Restated DM 42,375,000 Revolving Credit and DM 57,036,000 Term Loan Agreement dated as of January 10, 1992 among Vishay, Draloric and the lending banks in order to, among other things, allow Vishay to draw upon its revolving credit facilities to refinance a portion of Roederstein's debt. See Note 6 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements elsewhere herein for additional information with respect to Vishay's loan agreements, long-term debt and available short- term credit lines. Management believes that available sources of credit, together with cash expected to be generated from operations, will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's anticipated financing needs 20 for working capital and capital expenditures during the next twelve months. Inflation Normally, inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's operations. The Company's products are not generally sold on long-term contracts. Consequently, selling prices, to the extent permitted by competition, can be adjusted to reflect cost increases caused by inflation. Item 8.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 14(a). These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein. As discussed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in 1993 the Company changed its methods of accounting for income taxes (Note 5) and postretirement benefits other than pensions (Note 10). /s/ ERNST & YOUNG Philadelphia, Pennsylvania February 10, 1994 except for Note 6, as to which the date is March 25, 1994 27 Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.

See accompanying notes. 32 Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1993 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, after elimination of all significant intercompany transactions, accounts, and profits. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined by the first-in, first-out method, or market. Depreciation Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation of capital lease assets is included in total depreciation expense. Depreciation expense was $43,493,000, $30,995,000, and $23,706,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively. Goodwill Goodwill, representing the excess of purchase price over net assets of businesses acquired, is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. Accumulated amortization amounted to $10,945,000 and $7,679,000 at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Cash Equivalents For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers demand deposits and all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Research and Development Expenses The amount charged to expense aggregated $7,097,000, $7,149,000, and $6,967,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively. The Company spends additional amounts for the development of machinery and equipment for new processes and for cost reduction measures. Grants Grants received from governments by certain foreign subsidiaries are recognized as income when conditions for receipt are met. In 1993, grants of $3,424,000 received from the government of Israel, which were utilized to offset startup costs of new facilities, were recognized as a reduction of costs of products sold. 33 Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Earnings Per Share Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common equivalent shares (from the assumed conversion of convertible subordinated debentures) outstanding during the period. In October 1992, the convertible subordinated debentures were converted into 2,536,783 shares of Common Stock. For the year ended December 31, 1992, where assumed conversion of the debentures has a dilutive effect, net earnings used in the computations are adjusted for interest expense, net of income taxes, on the convertible subordinated debentures. Earnings per share amounts for all periods presented reflect 5% stock dividends paid on June 11, 1993, June 16, 1992, and June 11, 1991. Earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992 reflect the weighted effect of the issuance of 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock on December 24, 1992. Accounting Changes In 1993, the Company changed its methods of accounting for income taxes (Note 5) and postretirement benefits other than pensions (Note 10). Reclassifications Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. 2. Acquisitions During January 1993, Vishay exercised its option to purchase the remaining 81% of the outstanding share capital of Roederstein GmbH, a passive electronic components manufacturer with headquarters in Germany for 4,050,000 Deutsche Marks ("DM") ($2,502,000) pursuant to an option agreement dated February 18, 1992. Vishay had acquired its initial 19% interest in Roederstein on February 18, 1992 for DM 950,000 ($577,000). In connection with the acquisition, Vishay refinanced all of Roederstein's existing bank debt of DM 160,381,000 ($99,062,000). Funds to refinance Roederstein's debt were provided by a DM 104,316,000 term loan with a group of banks, $20,000,000 borrowed under an unsecured credit agreement, and borrowings under an existing line of credit. Effective January 1, 1992, the Company acquired the worldwide tantalum capacitor and U.S. thick film resistor network businesses of Sprague Technologies, Inc. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, Vishay paid $127,000,000 cash, transferred to Sprague real property with a fair value of $4,771,000, and assumed certain liabilities relating to the businesses. Vishay also entered into certain ancillary agreements with the seller, including one-year sales and distribution agreements under which Vishay received fees of $3,325,000 during 1992, which are included in other income. The purchase price was funded primarily from a $125,000,000 term loan facility. 34 Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 2. Acquisitions (continued) The acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The operating results of Roederstein and Sprague have been included in the Company's consolidated results of operations from January 1, 1993 and January 1, 1992, respectively. Excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired (Roederstein--$45,210,000; Sprague--$19,534,000) is being amortized on a straight-line basis over forty years. Had the Roederstein and Sprague acquisitions been made at the beginning of the year prior to their acquisition, the Company's pro forma unaudited results would have been (in thousands, except per share amounts): Year ended December 31 1992 1991 ------------------------- Net sales $913,398 $679,183 Net earnings (loss) (22,992) 20,591 Earnings (loss) per share $(1.19) $1.24 The unaudited pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been attained had the acquisitions occurred at the beginning of the periods presented or of results which may occur in the future. Pro forma net earnings for 1992 reflect $31,860,000 of restructuring costs incurred by Roederstein for work force reductions. During 1992, Vishay provided Roederstein with management and sales support, short-term working capital advances, and assistance in renegotiating Roederstein's bank debt. Vishay also assisted Roederstein in developing a cost-savings program involving reductions in the Roederstein work force, including the closing of an unprofitable division. Vishay recognized consulting fees, which are included in other income, from Roederstein of $2,307,000 for the year ended December 31, 1992 for its assistance to Roederstein. As of December 31, 1992, Vishay had investments in Roederstein of $3,229,000, advances to Roederstein, included in other assets, of $16,918,000, accounts receivable and other current receivables from Roederstein of $5,166,000, and accounts payable to Roederstein of $1,158,000. The Company made several minor acquisitions in 1993 and 1991, all of which were accounted for under the purchase method. The results of operations of these businesses have been included in the consolidated results of the Company from the dates of acquisition. 3. Restructuring Expense and Unusual Items Restructuring expenses of $6,659,000 for 1993 related to the downsizing of some of the Company's European operations. Income from unusual items of $7,221,000 for 1993 represents insurance recoveries the Company has received for business interruption insurance claims. The Company incurred restructuring costs of $3,700,000 in 1991 relating primarily to costs associated with layoffs in France. 35 Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 4. Foreign Subsidiaries The following amounts relating to foreign subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements (in thousands):
As of and for the year ended December 31 1993 1992 1991 ---------------------------------------- Current assets $239,371 $141,334 $113,515 Current liabilities 135,003 81,532 50,288 Net property and equipment 258,279 127,740 93,708 Parent company equity in net assets (including intercompany accounts) 199,955 161,529 119,097 Sales to customers 429,578 258,226 200,475 Earnings after eliminating intercompany earnings and expenses 23,620 12,490 7,333
5. Income Taxes Effective January 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes from the deferred method to the liability method required by FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." As permitted under the new rules, prior years' financial statements have not been restated. The cumulative effect of adopting Statement 109 as of January 1, 1993 was to increase net earnings by $1,427,000, or $.07 per share. For the year ended December 31, 1993, application of the new income tax rules decreased pretax income by $2,870,000 because of increased depreciation expense as a result of Statement 109's requirement to report assets acquired in prior business combinations at their pretax amounts. At December 31, 1993, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $96,300,000 in Germany (no expiration date), $3,100,000 in France (expire December 31, 1998), and $1,800,000 in Portugal (expire December 31, 1997). Approximately $70,800,000 of the carryforward in Germany, and the full $1,800,000 in Portugal, resulted from the Company's acquisition of Roederstein. For financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance of $34,862,000 has been recognized to offset deferred tax assets related to German net operating loss carryforwards. If tax benefits are recognized in the future through reductions of the valuation allowance, such amounts will reduce goodwill of acquired companies. The valuation allowance decreased from January 1, 1993 by $6,584,000 primarily due to a decrease in German tax rates which had the effect of reducing the deferred tax asset for German net operating loss carryforwards. 36 Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 5. Income Taxes (continued) Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax liabilities and assets as of December 31, 1993 are as follows (in thousands): Deferred tax liabilities: Tax over book depreciation $57,401 Other--net 2,685 --------- Total deferred tax liabilities 60,086 --------- Deferred tax assets: Pension and other retiree obligations 20,179 Net operating loss carryforwards 38,773 Restructuring reserves 7,354 Other accruals and reserves 12,300 --------- Total deferred tax assets 78,606 Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets (34,862) --------- Net deferred tax assets 43,744 --------- Net deferred tax liabilities $16,342 ========= For financial reporting purposes, earnings before income taxes and cumulative effect of accounting change includes the following components (in thousands): Year ended December 31 1993 1992 1991 ---------------------------------- Pretax income: Domestic $13,136 $10,252 $8,519 Foreign 37,758 27,672 18,734 ---------------------------------- $50,894 $37,924 $27,253 ================================== 37 Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 5. Income Taxes (continued) Significant components of income taxes attributable to continuing operations are as follows (in thousands): Liability Method Deferred Method -------------------------------- Year ended December 31 1993 1992 1991 -------------------------------- Current: U.S. Federal $3,032 $1,639 $3,558 Foreign 2,706 2,521 1,706 State 332 502 675 -------------------------------- 6,070 4,662 5,939 Deferred: U.S. Federal 1,960 1,760 103 Foreign 36 832 312 State 180 257 9 -------------------------------- 2,176 2,849 424 -------------------------------- $8,246 $7,511 $6,363 ================================ For the year ended December 31, 1992, deferred income taxes resulted from accelerated methods of depreciation used for tax purposes ($2,494,000) and restructuring reserves ($2,012,000). These amounts were partially offset by differences relating to inventory valuation methods ($900,000) and other items ($757,000). For the year ended December 31, 1991, deferred taxes resulted principally from use of accelerated methods of depreciation for tax purposes. A reconciliation of income tax at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to actual income tax expense is as follows (in thousands): Liability Method Deferred Method -------------------------------- Year ended December 31 1993 1992 1991 -------------------------------- Tax at statutory rate $17,304 $12,894 $9,266 State income taxes, net of federal tax 396 501 452 Effect of foreign income tax rates (10,532) (5,649) (5,166) Effect of purchase accounting adjustments 717 939 1,291 Other 361 (1,174) 520 -------------------------------- $8,246 $7,511 $6,363 ================================ 38 Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 5. Income Taxes (continued) At December 31, 1993, no provision has been made for U.S. income taxes on approximately $169,678,000 of foreign earnings which are expected to be reinvested indefinitely. Income taxes paid were $6,933,000, $5,729,000 and $8,418,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively. 6.

During March 1994, the Company's bank group agreed to amend the Revolving Credit and Term Loan and Deutsche Mark Revolving Credit and Term Loan agreements in effect at December 31, 1993. The terms of the five facilities, as agreed in March 1994, are summarized below. The first facility is a $90,000,000 multicurrency revolving credit facility which is available to the Company on a revolving basis until December 31, 1996, at which time the Company may elect a term out option, with quarterly payments due beginning March 31, 1997 through December 31, 2000. Interest is payable at prime or at other interest rate options. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee equal to 3/8% per annum on the average unused line. The second facility is a $102,500,000 term loan, with interest payable at prime plus 1/8% or at other interest rate options. Principal payments are due as follows: 1994 -- $5,000,000; 1995--$10,000,000; 1996--$10,000,000; 39 Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 6.

Additional principal payments may be required based on excess cash flow as defined in the agreement. The loan agreements also provide a German subsidiary of the Company with three Deutsche Mark ("DM") facilities. The first DM facility is a DM 40,000,000 ($23,035,000) revolving credit facility which is available until December 31, 1996, at which time the Company may elect a term out option, with quarterly payments due beginning March 31, 1997 through December 31, 2000. Interest is based on DM market rates plus 15/16%. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee equal to 3/8% per annum on the average unused line. The second DM facility is a DM 19,012,000 ($10,948,000) term loan.

Employee Retirement Plans Two U.S. subsidiaries of Vishay, Dale Electronics, Inc. and Sprague North Adams, Inc., which was acquired effective January 1, 1992, maintain defined benefit pension plans (the "Plans"). Substantially all full-time employees of Dale and hourly employees of Sprague's North Adams facility are eligible to participate. The benefits under the Dale Plan are based on the employees' compensation during all years of participation. The benefits under the Sprague Plan are based on number of years of credited service. The Plans are tax qualified subject to the minimum funding requirements of ERISA. Employees participating in the Dale Plan are required to contribute an amount based on annual earnings. The Company's funding policy is to contribute annually amounts that satisfy the funding standard account requirements of ERISA. The assets of the Dale Plan are invested primarily in guaranteed investment contracts issued by an insurance company and mutual funds. The assets of the Sprague Plan are invested primarily in fixed income securities and common stock. 41 Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 9.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 9. Employee Retirement Plans (continued) The Company's U.S. subsidiary, Measurements Group, Inc., maintains a defined contribution pension plan covering substantially all full-time employees. Contributions are made based on participants' compensation. Costs for this plan were $530,000, $512,000, and $485,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively. In addition, many of the Company's U.S. employees are eligible to participate in 401(k) Savings Plans, some of which provide for Company matching under various formulas. The Company's matching expense for the plans was $1,996,000, $1,894,000, and $1,170,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively. The Company provides pension and similar benefits to employees of certain foreign subsidiaries consistent with local practices. German subsidiaries of the Company (including Roederstein, which was acquired in January 1993) have noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering management and employees. Pension benefits are based on years of service. Net pension cost for the German Plans included the following components (in thousands):

43 Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 9. Employee Retirement Plans (continued) The following assumptions have been used in the actuarial determinations of the German Plans: December 31 1993 1992 ------------------------ Discount rate 7.0% 6.0% Rate of increase in compensation levels 3.0% 4.0% 10. Postretirement Medical Benefits The Company pays limited health care premiums for certain eligible retired U.S. employees. Prior to 1993, the cost of these benefits, which was not significant, was charged to expense when the benefits were paid. Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." Under this new standard, the Company recognizes the cost of postretirement benefits over the active service period of its employees. The Company elected to recognize the transition obligation, which represents the previously unrecognized prior service cost, on a prospective basis over a twenty-year period. In 1993, the new standard resulted in additional annual net periodic postretirement benefit cost of $1,200,000 before taxes and $792,000 after taxes, or $0.04 per share. Prior-year financial statements have not been restated to apply the new standard. Net postretirement benefit cost for the year ended December 31, 1993 included the following components (in thousands): Service cost $ 351 Interest cost 713 Net amortization and deferral 424 ------- Net postretirement benefit cost $ 1,488 ======= The cost information does not include the effects of Plan amendments made at the end of 1993, which are expected to reduce future costs. Cash payments for these benefits were $288,000 for 1993. The Company continues to fund postretirement medical benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis. The status of the plan and amounts recognized in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1993 were as follows (in thousands): Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation: Retirees $(2,234) Actives eligible to retire (956) Other actives (3,028) ------------ Total (6,218) Unrecognized loss 955 Unrecognized transition obligation 4,063 ------------ Accrued postretirement benefit liability $(1,200) ============ The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation reflects Plan amendments made at the end of 1993 which capped employer contributions for each participant at the 1993 dollar amounts. The discount rate used in the calculation was 7.5%. 44 Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 11. Leases Total rental expense under operating leases was $7,528,000, $9,577,000, and $4,435,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively. Future minimum lease payments for operating leases with initial or remaining noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year are as follows: 1994-- $5,694,000; 1995--$4,226,000; 1996--$3,582,000; 1997--$2,947,000; 1998-- $2,602,000; thereafter--$7,492,000 12. Financial Instruments Financial instruments with potential credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables are limited due to the Company's large number of customers and their dispersion across many countries and industries. At December 31, 1993 and 1992, the Company had no significant concentrations of credit risk. The amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents and for short-term and long-term debt approximate fair value. 13.

In case such person is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defending part of such action or, in the judgment 118 of such a court or such quorum of the Board of Directors or in the opinion of such counsel, has met the applicable standard of conduct specified in the preceding sentence with respect to part of such action, he shall be indemnified by the Corporation against the judgments, settlements, payments, fines, penalties and other costs and expenses attributable to such part of such action. The foregoing rights of indemnification shall be in addition to any rights to which any such director, officer, employee, or agent may otherwise be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation, any agreement or vote of stock- holders or at law or in equity or otherwise. In any case in which, in the judgment of a majority of such a disinterested quorum of the Board of Directors, any such director, officer or employee will be entitled to indemnification under the foregoing provisions of this Article, such amounts as they deem necessary to cover the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such person in connection with the action, suit, proceeding, investigation or claim prior to final disposition thereof may be advanced to such person upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that he is not so entitled to indemnification. TENTH: The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was 119 serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of Article NINTH. ELEVENTH: From time to time any of the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation may be amended, altered or repealed, and other provisions authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware at the time in force may be added or inserted in the manner and at the time prescribed by said law, and all rights at any time conferred upon the stockholders of the Corporation by this Certificate of Incorporation are granted subject to the provisions of this Article ELEVENTH.

(f) In the case of a Class B Holder holding the shares of Class B Stock in question as trustee pursuant to a trust which was irrevocable at the time of issuance of the Class B Stock, "Permitted Transferee" means (1) any person to whom or for whose benefit principal may be distributed either during or at the end of the term of such trust whether by power of appointment or otherwise and (2) any Permitted Transferee of any such person determined pursuant to clause (a) above. (g) In the case of a Class B Holder which is the estate of a deceased Class B Holder or which is the estate of a bankrupt or insolvent Class B Holder, which holds record and beneficial owner- ship of the shares of Class B Stock in question, "Permitted Transferee" means a Permitted Transferee of such deceased, bankrupt or insolvent Class B Holder as determined pursuant to clause (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) above, as the case may be.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any Class B Holder may pledge such holder's shares of Class B Stock to a pledgee pursuant to a bona fide pledge of such shares as collateral security for indebtedness due to the pledgee, provided that such shares shall remain subject to the provisions of this Paragraph D. In the event of foreclosure or other similar action by the pledgee, such pledged shares of Class B Stock may (a) be transferred only to a Permitted Transferee of the pledgor or (b) converted into shares of Common Stock and transferred to the pledgee, as the pledgee may elect. 131 (iii) For purposes of this Paragraph D: (a) The relationship of any person that is derived by or through legal adoption shall be considered a natural one. (b) Each joint owner of shares of Class B Stock shall be considered a "Class B Holder" of such shares.

The Corporation may, in connection with preparing a list of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders, or as a condition to the transfer or the registration of shares of Class B Stock on the Corporation's books, require the furnishing of such affidavits or other proof as it deems necessary to establish that any person is the beneficial owner of shares of Class B Stock or is a Permitted Transferee. (v) If at any time the number of outstanding shares of Class B Stock as reflected on the stock transfer books of the Corporation falls below 300,000 shares, or such higher number as results from adjust- ments for stock splits or stock dividends, the outstanding shares of Class B Stock shall automatically be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and certificates formerly representing outstanding shares of Class B Stock shall thereupon and thereafter represent the like number of shares of Common Stock. (vi) Shares of Class B Stock shall be registered in the names of the beneficial owners thereof and not 132 in "street" or "nominee" names. Notwithstanding the foregoing, trusts may transfer shares into nominee name. The Corporation shall note on the certificates for shares of Class B Stock the restrictions on transfer and registration of transfer imposed by this Paragraph D. (vii) The term "beneficial ownership" and derivations thereof shall have the same meaning given thereto under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor statute, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. E. Conversion Rights. (i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Paragraph E, each share of Class B Stock shall be convertible at any time or from time to time, at the option of the respective holder thereof, at the office of any transfer agent for Common Stock, and at such other place or places, if any, as the Board of Directors may designate, into one (1) fully-paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock. In order to convert Class B Stock into Common Stock, the holder thereof shall (a) surrender the certificate or certificates for such Class B Stock at the office of said transfer agent (or other place as provided above), which certificate or certificates, if this Corporation shall so request, shall be duly endorsed to the Corporation or in blank or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer to the Corporation (such endorsements or instruments of transfer to be in form satisfactory to the Corporation), and (b) give written notice to the Corporation that such holder elects to convert said Class B Stock, which notice shall state the name or names in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for Common Stock to be issued. The Corporation will issue and deliver at the office of said transfer agent (or other place as provided above) to the person for whose account such Class B Stock was so surrendered, or to his nominee or nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as soon as practicable after such deposit of a certificate or certificates of Class B Stock, accompanied by the requisite written notice. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made as of the date of such surrender of the Class B Stock to be converted; and the persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Class B Stock shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock on such date. 133 (ii) The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Class B Stock shall be made without charge for any stamp or other similar tax in respect of such issuance. However, if any such certificate is to be issued in a name other than that of the holder of the share or shares of Class B Stock converted, the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall pay to the Corporation the amount of any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in such issuance or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid or is not required to be paid. (iii) The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for the purpose of issue upon conversion of the outstanding shares of Class B Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of all such outstanding shares. Section 3. Preferred Stock. A. The Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series and may be with such voting powers, full or limited, or without voting powers, and with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors pursuant to authority hereby expressly granted to it, and as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such stock adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to authority expressly vested in it by these provisions. B. Any Preferred Stock or series thereof may be made subject to redemption at such time or times and at such price or prices as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such stock adopted by the Board of Directors as hereinabove provided. C. The holders of Preferred Stock or of any series thereof shall be entitled to receive dividends at such rates, on such conditions and at such times as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such stock adopted by the Board of Directors as hereinabove provided, payable in preference to, or in such relation to, the dividends payable on any other class or classes of stock, or cumulative or noncumulative as shall be so stated and expressed. D. The holders of Preferred Stock or of any class or of any series thereof, shall be entitled to such rights upon the dissolution of, or upon any distribution of the assets of, the Corporation as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or 134 resolutions providing for the issue of such stock adopted by the Board of Directors as hereinabove provided. E. Subject to Section 2A(iii) of this Article Four, any Preferred Stock of any class or of any series thereof may be made convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or classes or of any other series of the same or of any other class or classes of stock of the Corporation, or shares of any class or series of stock of any other Corporation, at such price or prices or at such rates of exchange and with such adjustments as shall be stated and expressed or provided for the issue of such stock adopted by the Board of Directors as herein- above provided. Section 4. Issuance of Common Stock, Class B Stock and Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may from time to time authorize by resolution the issuance of any or all shares of the Common Stock, the Preferred Stock and, subject to Section 2A(iii) of this Article Four, the Class B Stock, herein authorized in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Amended and Restated Certificate or Incorporation for such purposes, in such amounts, to such persons, corpo- rations, or entities, for such consideration, and in the case of the Preferred Stock, in one or more series, all as the Board of Directors in its discretion may determine and without any vote or other action by the shareholders, except as otherwise required by law. Except for the payment of one stock dividend to holders of Common Stock within 120 days of the effective date of this amendment (which 120-day period may be extended by the Board of Directors), at any time shares of Class B Stock are outstanding, the Board of Directors may not issue shares of Common Stock in the form of a distribution or distributions pursuant to a stock dividend or split-up, division or combination of the shares of Common Stock except where such shares are issuable both (i) only to the holders of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock and (ii) only in conjunction with and in the same ratio as a stock dividend or split-up, division or combination of the shares of Class B Stock. NINTH: Every person (and the heirs, executors and administrators of such person) who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or of any other company, including another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise which such person serves or served as such at the request of the Corporation shall be indemnified by the Corporation against all judgments, payments in settlement (whether or not approved by court), fines, penalties and other reasonable costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) imposed upon or incurred by such person in connection with or resulting from any action, suit, proceeding, investiga- tion or claim, civil, criminal, administrative, legislative or other (including any criminal action, suit or proceeding in which such person enters a plea of guilty or nolo contendere or its equivalent), or any appeal relating thereto, which is brought or 135 threatened either by or in the right of the Corporation or such other company (herein called a "derivative action") or by any other person, governmental authority or instrumentality (herein called a "third-party action") and in which such person is made a party or is otherwise involved by reason of his being or having been such director, officer, employee or agent or by reason of any action or omission, or alleged action or omission by such person in his capacity as such director, officer, employee or agent if either (a) such person is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defending such derivative or third-party action or (b) in the judgment of a court of competent jurisdic- tion or, in the absence of such a determination, in the judgment of a majority of a quorum of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (which quorum shall not include any director who is a party to or is otherwise involved in such action) or, in the absence of such a disinterested quorum, in the opinion of independent legal counsel (i) in the case of a derivative action, such person acted in good faith in what he reasonably believed to be the best interest of the Corporation and was not adjudged liable to the Corporation or such other company or (ii) in the case of a third-party action, such person acted in good faith in what he reasonably believed to be the best interest of the Corporation or such other company, and, in addition, in any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe that his action was unlawful; provided that, in the case of a derivative action, such indemnification shall not be made in respect of any payment to the Corporation or such other company or any stock- holder thereof in satisfaction of judgment or in settlement unless either (x) a court of competent jurisdiction has approved such settlement, if any, and the reimbursement of such payment or (y) if the court in which such action has been instituted lacks jurisdiction to grant such approval or such action is settled before the institution of judicial proceedings, in the opinion of independent legal counsel the applicable standard of conduct specified in the preceding sentence has been met, such action was without substantial merit, such settlement was in the best interests of the corporation or such other company and the reimbursement of such payment is permissible under applicable law. In case such person is successful, on the merits or other- wise, in defending part of such action or, in the judgment of such a court or such quorum of the Board of Directors or in the opinion of such counsel, has met the applicable standard of conduct specified in the preceding sentence with respect to part of such action, he shall be indemnified by the Corporation against the judgments, settlements, payments, fines, penalties and other costs and expenses attributable to such part of such action. The directors may authorize the advancement of such amounts necessary to cover the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any director, officer or employee in connection with the action, suit, proceeding, investigation or claim prior to final disposition thereof to the extent permitted under Delaware law. 136 The foregoing rights of indemnification and advancement of expenses shall be in addition to any rights to which any such director, officer, employee, or agent may otherwise be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation, any agreement or vote of stockholders or at law or in equity or otherwise. No director shall have any personal liability to the Corporation or its stockholders for any monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except that this Article shall not eliminate or limit the liability of each director (i) for any breach of such director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which such director derived an improper personal benefit. This Article shall not eliminate or limit the liability of such director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when this Article becomes effective. 3.

(a Delaware Corporation) Pursuant to Article II.2 of the Amended and Restated By-laws of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (the "By-laws"), the By- laws are hereby amended as follows: The second sentence of Article II.2 is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows: "The number of directors constituting the whole board shall not be less than three nor more than twelve, except that where all the shares of stock of the corporation are owned beneficially and of record by less than three stockholders, the number of directors may be less than three but not less than the number of such stockholders." In all other respects, the By-laws shall remain unchanged. EX-3 6 EXHIBIT 3.2(A) 144 EXHIBIT 3.2 AMENDED AND RESTATED BY-LAWS OF VISHAY INTERTECHNOLOGY, INC. (A Delaware Corporation) __________________ ARTICLE I STOCKHOLDERS 1. CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING STOCK. Every holder of stock in the corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of, the corporation by the Chairman or Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors, if any, or by the President or a Vice-President and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the corporation certifying the number of shares owned by him in the corporation. If such certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent other than the corporation or its employee, or by a registrar other than the corporation or its employee, any other signature on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent, or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent, or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of issue. Whenever the corporation shall be authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class of stock and whenever the corporation shall issue any shares of its stock as partly paid stock, the certificates representing shares of any such class or series or of any such partly paid stock shall set forth thereon the statements prescribed by the General Corporation Law. Any restrictions on the transfer or 145 registration of transfer of any shares of stock of any class or series shall be noted conspicuously on the certificate representing such shares. The corporation may issue a new certificate of stock in place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, and the Board of Directors may require the owner of any lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate, or his legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnity the corporation against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of any such new certificate. 2. FRACTIONAL SHARE INTERESTS. The corporation may, but shall not be required to, issue fractions of a share. In lieu thereof it shall either pay in cash the fair value of fractions of a share, as determined by the Board of Directors, to those entitled thereto or issue scrip or fractional warrants in registered or bearer form over the manual or facsimile signature of an officer of the corporation or of its agent, exchangeable as therein provided for full shares, but such scrip or fractional warrants shall not entitle the holder to any rights or a shareholder except as therein provided. Such scrip or fractional warrants may be issued subject to the condition that the same shall become void if not exchanged for certificates representing full shares of stock before a specified date, or subject to the condition that the shares of stock for which such scrip or fractional warrants are exchangeable may be sold by the corporation and the proceeds thereof distributed to the holders of such scrip or fractional warrants, or subject to any other conditions which the Board of Directors may determine. 3. STOCK TRANSFERS. Upon compliance with provisions restricting the transfer or registration of transfer of shares of stock, if any, transfers or registration of transfers of shares of stock of the corporation shall be made only on the stock ledger of the corporation by the registered holder thereof, or by his attorney thereunto authorized by power of attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary of the corporation or with a transfer agent or a registrar, if any, and on surrender of the certificate or certificates for such shares of stock properly endorsed and the payment of all taxes due thereon. 4. RECORD DATE FOR STOCKHOLDERS. For the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to or dissent from any corporate action in writing without a meeting, or for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or the allotment of any rights, or entitled to 146 exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion, or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the directors may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for any such determination of stockholders. Such date shall not be more than sixty days nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty days prior to any other action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; the record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. When a determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice or to vote at any meeting of stockholders has been made as provided in this paragraph, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. 5. MEANING OF CERTAIN TERMS. As used herein in respect of the right to notice of a meeting of stockholders or a waiver thereof or to participate or vote thereat or to consent or dissent in writing in lieu of a meeting, as the case may be, the term "share" or "shares" or "share of stock" or "shares of stock" or "stockholder" or "stockholders" refers to an outstanding share of shares of stock and to a holder or holders of record of outstanding shares of stock when the corporation is authorized to issue only one class of shares of stock, and said reference is also intended to include any outstanding share or shares of stock and any holder or holders of record of outstanding shares of stock of any class upon which or upon whom the certificate of incorporation confers such rights where there are two or more classes or series of shares of stock or upon which or upon whom the General Corporation Law confers such rights notwithstanding that the certificate of incorporation may provide for more than one class or series of shares of stock, one or more of which are limited or denied such rights thereunder; provided, however, that no such right shall vest in the event of an increase or a decrease in the authorized number of shares of stock of any class or series which is otherwise denied voting rights under the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, including any Preferred Stock which is denied voting rights under the provisions of the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors with respect to the issuance thereof. 6. STOCKHOLDERS MEETINGS. - TIME. The annual meeting shall be held on the date and at the time fixed, from time to time, by the directors, 147 provided, that the first annual meeting shall be held on a date within thirteen months after the organization of the corporation, and each successive annual meeting shall be held on a date within thirteen months after the date of the preceding annual meeting. A special meeting shall be held on the date and at the time fixed by the directors. - PLACE. Annual meetings and special meetings shall be held at such place, within or without the State of Delaware, as the directors may, from time to time, fix. Whenever the directors shall fail to fix such place, the meeting shall be held at the registered office of the corporation in the State of Delaware. - CALL. Annual meetings and special meetings may be called by the directors or by any officer instructed by the directors to call the meeting. - NOTICE OR WAIVER OF NOTICE. Written notice of all meetings shall be given, stating the place, date and hour of the meeting. The notice of an annual meeting shall state that the meeting is called for the election of directors and for the transaction of other business which may properly come before the meeting, and shall (if any other action which could be taken at a special meeting is to be taken at such annual meeting), state such other action or actions as are known at the time of such notice. The notice of a special meeting shall in all instances state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. If any action is proposed to be taken which would, if taken, entitle stockholders to receive payment for their shares of stock, the notice shall include a statement of that purpose and to that effect. Except as otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law, a copy of the notice of any meeting shall be given, personally or by mail, not less than ten days nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting, unless the lapse of the prescribed period of time shall have been waived, and directed to each stockholder at his record address or at such other address which he may have furnished for such purpose in writing to the Secretary of the corporation. Notice by mail shall be deemed to be given when deposited, with postage thereon prepaid, in the United States mail. If a meeting is adjourned to another time, not more than thirty days hence, and/or to another place, and if an announcement of the adjourned time and/or place is made at the meeting, it shall not be necessary to give notice of the adjourned meeting unless the directors, after adjournment, fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. Notice need not be given to any stockholder who submits a written waiver of notice by him before or after the time stated therein. Attendance of a person at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of 148 objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice. - STOCKHOLDER LIST. There shall be prepared and made, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting either at a place within the city or other municipality or community where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meting, or if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list required by this section or the books of the corporation, or to vote at any meeting of stockholders. - CONDUCT OF MEETING. Meetings of the stockholders shall be presided over by one of the following officers in the order of seniority and if present and acting -- the Chairman of the Board, if any, the Vice-Chairman of the Board, if any, the President, a Vice-President, a chairman for the meeting chosen by the Board of Directors, or, if none of the foregoing is in office and present and acting, by a chairman to be chosen by the stockholders. The Secretary of the corporation, or in his absence, an Assistant Secretary, shall act as secretary of every meeting, but if neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is present the Chairman for the meeting shall appoint a secretary of the meeting. - PROXY REPRESENTATION. Every stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy in all matters in which a stockholder is entitled to participate, whether by waiving notice of any meeting, voting or participat- ing at a meeting, or expressing consent or dissent without a meeting. Every proxy must be signed by the stockholder or by his attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date unless such proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and, if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of 149 whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the corporation generally. - INSPECTORS AND JUDGES. The directors, in advance of any meeting, may, but need not, appoint one or more inspectors of election or judges of the vote, as the case may be, to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. If an inspector or inspectors or judge or judges are not appointed, the person presiding at the meeting may, but need not, appoint one or more inspectors or judges. In case any person who may be appointed as an inspector or judge fails to appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the directors in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the person presiding thereat. Each inspector or judge, if any, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector or judge at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. The inspectors or judges, if any, shall determine the number of shares of stock represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots or consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate all votes, ballots or consents, determine the results, and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders. On request of the person presiding at the meeting, the inspector or inspectors or judge or judges, if any, shall make a report in writing of any challenge, question or matter determined by him or them and execute a certificate of any fact found by him or them. - QUORUM. Except as the General Corporation Law or these By-Laws may otherwise provide, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders for the transaction of any business. The stockholders present may adjourn the meeting despite the absence of a quorum. When a quorum is once present to organize a meeting, it is not broken by the subsequent withdrawal of any shareholders. - VOTING. Each stockholder entitled to vote in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation and of these By-Laws, or, with respect to the issuance of Preferred Stock, in accordance with the terms of a resolution or resolu- tions of the Board of Directors, shall be entitled to one vote, in person or by proxy, for each share of stock entitled to vote held by such stockholder. In the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast shall elect. Any other action shall be authorized by a majority of the votes cast except where the Certificate of Incorporation or the General Corporation Law prescribes a different percentage of votes and/or a different exercise of voting power. In the election of directors, voting 150 need not be by ballot. Voting by ballot shall not be required for any other corporate action except as otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law. 7. STOCKHOLDER ACTION WITHOUT MEETING. Any action required to be taken, or any action which may be taken, at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of the outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon where present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholder who have not consented in writing. ARTICLE II DIRECTORS 1. FUNCTIONS AND DEFINITION. The business of the corporation shall be managed by the Board of Directors of the corporation. The use of the phrase "whole board" herein refers to the total number of directors which the corporation would have if there were no vacancies. 2. QUALIFICATIONS AND NUMBER. A director need not be a stockholder, a citizen of the United States, or a resident of the State of Delaware. The number of directors constituting the whole board shall be not less than three nor more than ten, except that, where all the shares of stock of the corporation are owned beneficially and of record by less than three stockholders, the number of directors may be less than three but not less than the number of such stockholders. Subject to the foregoing limitation and except for the first Board of Directors, such number may be fixed from time to time by action of the stock- holders or of the directors, or, if the number is not fixed, the number shall be three. The number of directors may be increased or decreased by action of the stockholders or the directors. 3. ELECTION AND TERM. Any director may resign at any time upon written notice to the corporation.

In the interim between annual meetings of stockholder or of special 151 meetings of stockholder called for the election of directors and/or for the removal of one or more directors and for the filing of any vacancies in the Board of Directors, including vacancies resulting from the removal of directors for cause or without cause, any vacancy in the Board of Directors may be filled by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director. 4. MEETINGS. - TIME. Meetings shall be held at such time as the Board shall fix. - FIRST MEETING. The first meeting of each newly elected Board may be held immediately after each annual meeting of the stockholders at the same place at which the meeting is held, and no notice of such meeting shall be necessary to the meeting, provided a quorum shall be present.

Written, oral or any other mode of notice of the time and place shall be given for special meetings in sufficient time for the convenient assembly of the directors thereat. The notice of any meeting need not specify the purpose of the meeting. Any requirement of furnishing a notice shall be waived by any director who signs a written waiver of such notice before or after the time stated therein. Attendance of a Director at a meeting of the Board shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the Director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of 152 any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. - QUORUM AND ACTION. A majority of the whole Board shall constitute a quorum except when a vacancy or vacancies prevents such majority, whereupon a majority of the directors in office shall constitute a quorum, provided that such majority shall constitute at least one-third (1/3) of the whole Board. Any director may participate in a meeting of the Board by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all directors participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting of the Board shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. A majority of the directors present, whether or not a quorum is present, may adjourn a meeting to another time and place. Except as otherwise provided, and except as otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law, the act of the Board shall be the act by vote of a majority of the directors present at a meeting, a quorum being present. The quorum and voting provisions herein stated shall not be construed as conflicting with any provisions of the General Corporation Law and these By-Laws which govern a meeting of directors held to fill vacancies and newly created directorships in the Board. - CHAIRMAN OF THE MEETING. The Chairman of the Board, if any and if present and acting, shall preside at all meetings. Otherwise, the Vice-Chairman of the Board, if any and if present and acting, or the President, if present and acting, or any other director chosen by the Board, shall preside. 5.

Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board, shall have and may exercise the powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation, and may authorize the seal of the corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it. In the absence or disqualification of any member of any such committee or committees, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another 153 member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. 7. ACTION IN WRITING. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee.

EX-10 7 EXHIBIT 10.1 156 EXHIBIT 10.1 Performance-Based Compensation Plan for Chief Executive Officer of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. The following is a summary description of the Performance- Based Compensation Plan for the Chief Executive Officer of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (the "Company"), which was approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company on February 25, 1994. Background The plan was adopted to allow the Chief Executive Officer's compensation above $1 million to be deductible under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, to the extent that it is "performance based". The plan must be approved by the Board of Directors (excluding the Chief Executive Officer) and by the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company present in person or by proxy and voting thereon at the next Annual Meeting. Material Plan Terms The material features of the plan are as follows: * Prior to the start of each fiscal year (unless applicable regulations permit determination at a later date), the Compensation Committee will establish performance targets applicable to the Chief Executive Officer, which targets shall be linked exclusively to after-tax profits of the Company. * The Chief Executive Officer shall be awarded cash bonuses under this plan if these certain performance targets are met. * The amount of the bonus, if any, each year shall be determined under parameters preset by the Committee, including: a. a threshold of after-tax profits above which a performance bonus shall be granted, d. specified ranges of after-tax profits above the threshold and the bonus to be awarded for each range, calculated as a percentage of after-tax profits; 157 c. a threshold of after-tax profits below which the Chief Executive Officer's base salary will be reduced by a specified percentage; e. a ceiling level of after-tax profits above which no additional performance-based bonus will be awarded. Criteria for Selecting Parameters: In selecting the parameters each year, the Compensation Committee may consider, among others factors, the following: * the Company's financial performance in view of the performance of companies similar in size and character; * the compensation of Chief Executive Officers of companies similar in size and character; * the Company's financial performance in comparison to previous years; and * the Chief Executive Officer's years of dedication and service to the Company. 158 Application of Plan for 1994 -- an Illustration Base Salary: $ 600,000 Threshold of after-tax profits above which a performance-bonus shall be granted: $25,000,000 Ranges of after-tax profits and the bonus to be awarded, calculated as a % of such after-tax profits: a. $25 million to $50 million 3% b. $50 million to $75 million 1% Threshold above which no additional bonus is granted: $75,000,000 Threshold below which portion of base salary to be rescinded: $21,000,000 Possible reduction of base salary: 15% For example, if in 1994 the Company earns $62 million in after- tax profits, the Chief Executive Officer shall earn $1,470,000: base: $ 600,000 3% of $25 million: 750,000 1% of $12 million: 120,000 ---------- TOTAL: $1,470,000 ========== Maximum Bonus Opportunity: The bonus the Chief Executive Officer may receive in respect of any fiscal year shall not exceed 3% of after-tax profits above $25 million. 159 Duration of Plan If the Plan is approved by the Board of Directors and the stockholders, it may remain in effect without further stockholder approval until the annual meeting of stockholders in 1999, unless materially amended prior to such meeting.
