This withdrawal notice may be used by holders of 3-5/8% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2023 (the “Notes”) of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc., who previously exercised their option to require Vishay to purchase their Notes and wish to withdraw the exercise of the option. The withdrawal may be effected with respect to all or any portion of the Notes as to which the option was previously exercised, but, if effected with respect to only a portion of the Notes, it may only be effected for integral multiples of $1,000 of the Notes.

This withdrawal notice must be received by the paying agent at its address appearing on the first page of the notice prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on July 29, 2008. A holder that has previously delivered the Notes identified in this notice to the paying agent using the book-entry transfer procedures of The Depository Trust Company (DTC) need not submit a physical withdrawal notice and may instead effect the withdrawal pursuant to the withdrawal procedures of DTC.

In all cases, in order to validly withdraw exercise of the option, this notice of withdrawal (or a facsimile), properly completed, must be received by the paying agent at its address identified below (and any withdrawal through the procedures of the DTC must be effected) prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on July 29, 2008.

The method of delivery of all documents, including this withdrawal notice and any other required documents, is at the election and risk of the withdrawing holder. If delivery is by mail, registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is recommended.

2. Guarantee of Signatures. No signature guarantee is required if this withdrawal notice is submitted for the account of an eligible guarantor institution, as defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act (referred to as an eligible institution).

In all other cases an eligible institution must guarantee the signature(s) on this purchase notice.

3. Signatures on Withdrawal Notice. If this withdrawal notice is signed on behalf of a participant appearing in a securities position listing with DTC, the name and address of the participant must correspond exactly to the name and address of the participant appearing in the listing. If this withdrawal notice is signed by a transferee of a DTC participant, this purchase notice must be accompanied by evidence of transfer satisfactory to the company. If any such transferee is acting through attorneys-in-fact, executors, administrators, trustees, guardians, partners, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing and must submit proper evidence satisfactory to the company of their authority so to act.

4. Return of Surrendered Notes. Any Notes surrendered to the paying agent as to which exercise of the option has been validly withdrawn will be returned by book-entry transfer for credit to the DTC account from which the Notes were transferred to the paying agent.

5. Irregularities. The company will determine, in its sole discretion, all questions as to the validity of the execution and delivery of this withdrawal notice. The company also reserves the absolute right to waive any defect or irregularity. None of the company, the paying agent or any other person is obligated to give notice of any defect or irregularity, and none of them will incur any liability for failure to give such notice. 6.
