Amounts represent the fair value of the RSUs granted, determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 in the year of grant. The grant-date fair value is based on the same assumptions described in Note 12
of our consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K filed on February 16, 2024, including the consideration of the present value of assumed dividends which are not received by the RSU holder during the vesting period.
Accordingly, the value of stock awards in the table above will be different than the stated “incentive value” described above. The grant-date fair value is recognized for accounting purposes over the respective vesting periods.

While annual cash bonuses focus on the achievement of short-term or annual goals, and short-term goals may encourage risk-taking, annual cash bonuses for Named Executive Officers are capped in order to balance
the risk; and
|
•
|
A significant portion of our RSUs carry performance conditions which are tied to operating results or rTSR metrics over a three-year period. |
•
|
a meaningful portion of compensation is deferred until retirement or termination of employment under our non-qualified deferred compensation plan; and
|
•
|
phantom stock units are only settled upon retirement or termination of employment, thus providing an incentive for the creation of long-term stockholder value.

The market-condition PBRSUs will be earned
based on relative Total Stockholder Return (“rTSR”), Vishay’s total stockholder return relative to returns on the S&P MidCap 400 Index. The 2023 PBRSUs will be measured over a 3-year period ending December 31, 2025. The PBRSUs
listed in the table represent the number of units earned at target. The maximum number of units that can be earned is 200% of target, if the rTSR exceeds 140%. Such awards are subject to accelerated vesting upon certain termination
events as described below.

|
Column (c) reflects base salary earned during the respective years. The employment agreement for Ms. Lipcaman specifies that her salary be denominated and paid in euro. The employment agreements for Messrs.
Zandman and Webster provide for their salaries to be denominated and paid in Israeli shekels. The amounts presented have been converted into U.S. dollars at the weighted average exchange rate for the year.
|
(2)
|
Column (e) represents the grant-date fair value of RSUs and PBRSUs granted in the respective years determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 in the year of grant. The grant-date fair value is based on the
same assumptions described in Note 12 of our consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K filed on February 16, 2024, including the consideration of the present value of assumed dividends which are not received by the RSU
holder during the vesting period. The grant-date fair value is recognized for accounting purposes over the period the recipient is required to provide service in exchange for the respective awards. At the grant dates of the 2021 and 2022
awards, the Company expected all performance-based vesting criteria to be achieved. Accordingly, the grant-date fair value for these PBRSUs reflects the expectation that the maximum number of units will be earned. The common stock underlying
the RSU and PBRSU awards is not received until the awards are vested (in some cases, subject to satisfaction of performance conditions) and accordingly, there can be no assurance that the grant-date fair value of these awards will ever be
realized. For RSUs with market conditions (first granted in 2023), the Company estimates the grant date fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model and recognizes the expense for the awards over the period in which the condition
is assessed regardless of whether the market condition is ultimately achieved.
|
(3) | Column (e) also includes the grant-date fair value of 5,000 phantom stock units awarded annually to Mr. Zandman pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement. The common stock underlying these awards is not received until termination of employment, and accordingly, there can be no assurance that the grant-date fair value of these awards will ever be realized. |
(4) | Column (g) reflects non-equity incentive compensation earned by our Named Executive Officers during the respective years, translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the year. |
(5) | Column (h) reflects the change in the actuarial present value of the Named Executive Officer's pension and other post-employment benefits under respective defined benefit
retirement plans, from the plan measurement date used in preparing the prior year consolidated financial statements to the plan measurement date used in preparing the current year consolidated financial statements, determined using the same
interest rate, mortality, and other actuarial assumptions used in our consolidated financial statements as set forth in Note 11 thereof. No amounts are presented for 2023 for Mr. Zandman because changes in actuarial assumptions and exchange
rate impacts resulted in a decrease in the net present value of such benefits by $409,099. |
(6) | The Company includes in these pension and post-employment benefits certain termination benefits for Mr. Zandman, which are payable at normal retirement if such executives are employed by the Company at age 62. See "Pension and Retirement Benefits" beginning on page 47. |
(7) | Mr. Zandman also receives annual contributions to our non-qualified deferred compensation plan under which amounts deferred are credited with earnings based on the performance of notional investment options available under the plan. No portion of the earnings credited were "above market" or "preferential." Consequently, no deferred compensation plan earnings are included in the amounts reported in column (h). See the "Non-qualified Deferred Compensation" table for more information on the benefits payable under the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. |
(8) | All Other Compensation includes company contributions into Vishay's non-qualified deferred compensation plan, personal use of company car, Company contributions to defined contribution plans outside of the United States, benefits generally available to employees in Israel, medical benefits in excess of normal group or government health insurance in country of residence, additional units of phantom stock granted as a result of dividends declared by the Company, and other perquisites, as described below (asterisk denotes amounts paid in foreign currency and translated at average exchange rates for the year): |

earned based on relative Total Stockholder Return ("rTSR"), Vishay's total stockholder return relative to returns on the S&P MidCap 400 Index. The 2023 PBRSUs are measured over a 3-year period ending December 31, 2025. The maximum number of
units that can be earned is 200% of target, if the rTSR exceeds 140%. Such awards are subject to accelerated vesting upon certain termination events as described above. |

• |
the grant-date fair value of the time-vested RSUs. The amount is calculated using the closing price of Vishay stock on the date of grant of $21.59 adjusted for the present value of expected dividends. The
common stock underlying these awards is not received until the awards are vested and accordingly, there can be no assurance that the grant-date fair value of these awards will ever be realized.
|
• |
the grant-date fair value of the market-condition PBRSUs. The amount is calculated using a Monte Carlo valuation model and using the average closing price of Vishay stock for twenty days prior to year end. The grant-date fair value of the
market-condition PBRSUs was determined to be $26.36.
|
• |
the grant-date fair value of 5,000 phantom stock units. The amount is calculated using the closing price of Vishay stock on the grant date of $21.48. The common stock underlying these awards is not received
until termination of employment, and accordingly, there can be no assurance that the grant-date fair value of these awards will ever be realized.

Both total shareholder return ("TSR") and peer group TSR are determined in the same manner, calculated as the sum of cumulative dividends (assuming
dividend reinvestment) and the cumulative increase or decrease in the stock price/stock index each respective year, divided by the stock price/stock index at December 31, 2019. Peer group TSR is based on the Philadelphia Semiconductor
Index, which the Company utilizes as a peer group in its stock performance graph presented in Item 5 of its annual report on Form 10-K. |
(6) |
The “Company selected measure” is “Adjusted Net Earnings.” "Adjusted Net
Earnings" is described and calculated under the heading "Performance Measures and Metrics," beginning on page 31. For several years, this measure was clearly the most important measure when evaluating pay versus performance. Named
Executive Officers have PBRSUs based largely on this measure and one Executive Officers has non-equity incentive compensation based exclusively on this measure. Beginning in 2023, PBRSUs are based on relative Total Shareholder Return
(rTSR), measured as our total shareholder return relative to the returns of the S&P MidCap 400. In the future, we may determine that rTSR or another measure is the most important financial performance measure.

The market-condition PBRSUs will be earned based on relative Total Stockholder Return (“rTSR”), Vishay’s total stockholder return relative to returns on the S&P MidCap 400 Index. The 2024 PBRSUs will be measured over a 3-year
period ending December 31, 2026. The PBRSUs listed in the table represent the number of units earned at target. The maximum number of units that can be earned is 200% of target, if the rTSR exceeds 140%. Such awards are subject to
accelerated vesting upon certain termination events as described above.
