<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt"><B>Vishay Intertechnology Prices Offering of $150 Million of 2.25% Convertible Senior Debentures</B>
</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 the pricing
of its offering of $150&nbsp;million principal amount of 2.25% convertible senior debentures due 2041.
The debentures were offered and sold only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule&nbsp;144A
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The sale is expected to close May&nbsp;13, 2011.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Interest will be payable on the debentures semi-annually at a rate of 2.25% per annum. In addition
to ordinary interest, beginning on May&nbsp;15, 2021, contingent interest will accrue in certain
circumstances relating to the trading price of the debentures and under certain other
circumstances. The debentures will be initially convertible, subject to certain conditions, into
cash, shares of Vishay&#146;s common stock or a combination thereof, at Vishay&#146;s option, at an initial
conversion rate of 52.5659 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of debentures. This
represents an initial effective conversion price of approximately $19.02 per share. This initial
conversion price represents a premium of 12.5% to the closing price of Vishay&#146;s common stock on May
9, which was $16.91 per share.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Vishay may not redeem the debentures prior to May&nbsp;20, 2021, except in connection with certain
tax-related events. On or after May&nbsp;20, 2021 and prior to the maturity date, Vishay may redeem for
cash all or part of the debentures at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of
the debentures to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption
date, if the last reported sale price of Vishay&#146;s common stock has been at least 150% of the
conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days during any 30 consecutive trading day
period prior to the date on which Vishay provides notice of redemption.
</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:

Vishay&#146;s common stock from institutional investors in negotiated transactions concurrently
with the pricing of this offering. Such repurchases may raise or maintain the market price

    <TD>Approximately $50&nbsp;million to repurchase additional shares of Vishay&#146;s common stock
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>
