Item 7.01 – Regulation FD Disclosure

Conversion Ratio Adjustments for Dividends
 
The quarterly cash dividend program of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. ("the Company" or "Vishay") results in adjustments to the conversion rate and effective conversion price for each issuance of the Company's convertible senior notes, specifically, the 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the "2025 Notes"). As required by the indentures governing the terms of each issuance of convertible senior notes, the Company has delivered a notice and officers' certificate to the trustees regarding these adjustments. 

Pursuant to the indentures governing the terms of each issuance of convertible senior notes, effective December 3, 2024 (the ex-dividend date), the adjusted conversion rate and adjusted effective conversion price are as follows (subject to the conditions applicable to conversion set forth in the indentures):

 
Convertible Senior Notes
Due 2025
 
 
 
 
Conversion Rate (shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount)
 
 
32.2205
 
Effective conversion price (per share)
 
$
31.04
 

The conversion rate and effective conversion price of Vishay's 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 were not impacted by the quarterly cash dividend.

Item 8.01 – Other Events

In February 2022, the Board of Directors of Vishay approved, and Vishay announced a Stockholder Return Policy ("SHRP"), which set forth the intention of Vishay to annually return to stockholders at least 70% of free cash flow, net of scheduled principal payments of long-term debt, directly in the form of dividends, or indirectly, in the form of stock repurchases.

To enable the operation of the SHRP, Vishay's Board of Directors approves the repurchase of a stated number of shares of common stock from time-to-time. As of September 28, 2024, approximately 1.2 million shares remained from the previous repurchase authorization of 8.5 million shares.

On December 3, 2024, Vishay's Board of Directors approved the repurchase of an additional 3.0 million shares of common stock, to enable the operation of the SHRP for the foreseeable future.
