</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">MALVERN, PA &#151; May&nbsp;9, 2011 &#151; Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced its
intention to commence an offering, subject to market conditions and other factors, of $150&nbsp;million
principal amount of convertible senior debentures. The debentures would be due in 2041 and are to
be offered and sold only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule&nbsp;144A under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The interest rate, conversion rate and the other terms will be
determined by negotiations between Vishay and the initial purchaser of the debentures.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Vishay intends to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with cash on hand, to
repurchase shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $150&nbsp;million as follows:

    <TD>Through an agreement with an affiliate of the initial purchaser concurrently with the
pricing of this offering. Pursuant to the terms of such repurchase, concurrent with the
closing of this offering, the counterparty to such agreement will sell short to us shares
of Vishay&#146;s common stock. As a result of such short sale, concurrently with, and for a
period of time following, the pricing of the debentures, Vishay expects the counterparty to
such agreement (or an affiliate thereof) to purchase shares of Vishay&#146;s common stock from
third parties and/or enter into various derivative transactions with respect to Vishay&#146;s
common stock. The effect, if any, of any of these transactions and activities on the market
price of Vishay&#146;s common stock and/or the debentures will depend in part on market
conditions and cannot be ascertained at this time, but any of these activities could have
the effect of increasing or preventing a decline in the price of Vishay&#146;s common stock and
the debentures, concurrently with the pricing of the debentures and for a period of time
following such pricing.</TD>
