DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
On September 6, 2001, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (No. 333-69004)
registering 31,799,499 shares of Vishay common stock in connection with Vishay's
acquisition of General Semiconductor, Inc., a Delaware Corporation. In the
acquisition, each share of General Semiconductor common stock was converted into
0.563 shares of Vishay common stock. The merger was consummated on November 2,
2001. Included in the 31,799,499 total shares registered were 6,245,499 shares
of Vishay common stock issuable upon conversion of $172.5 million principal
amount of outstanding convertible subordinated notes of General Semiconductor
due December 2006. On October 31, 2001, Vishay filed a registration statement on
Form S-3 (No. 333-72502) to register the 6,245,499 shares of Vishay common stock
issuable on conversion of the General Semiconductor notes, which was superseded
by its registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-89614) filed on May 31, 2002,
registering 6,191,166 shares of Vishay common stock issuable upon conversion of
the General Semiconductor convertible notes then outstanding. (On January 10,
2002, General Semiconductor repurchased $1.5 million principal amount of the
convertible notes pursuant to an offer required to be made under the indenture
governing the convertible notes.)
The shares of Vishay common stock issuable upon conversion of the
convertible notes having been registered on the Form S-3 (or, in respect of the
shares issuable upon conversion of the repurchased convertible notes, no longer
issuable), this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the S-4 Registration Statement
is being filed to deregister 6,245,499 of the shares registered by the S-4
registration statement.
