Acquisition and Divestiture Activities [Abstract] |
Acquisition and Divestiture Activities | Note 2 - Acquisition Activities As part of its growth strategy, the Company seeks to expand through targeted acquisitions of other manufacturers of electronic components. These acquisition targets include businesses that have established positions in major markets, reputations for product quality and reliability, and product lines with which the Company has substantial marketing and technical expertise. It also includes certain businesses that possess technologies which the Company expects to further develop and commercialize. Subsequent Event On October 28, 2022, 2022, Vishay acquired MaxPower Semiconductor, Inc. ("MaxPower"), a San Jose, California-based fabless power semiconductor provider dedicated to delivering innovative and cost-effective technologies that optimize power management solutions. MaxPower's proprietary device structures and process techniques provide leading edge silicon and silicon carbide ("SiC") MOSFET products. Its SiC product development targets automotive and industrial applications. Vishay paid cash of $50,000, net of cash acquired, at closing. Related to the transaction, Vishay may also be required to make certain contingent payments of up to $57,500, which would be payable upon the achievement of certain technology milestones and the occurrence of certain non-operating events. The purchase price for U.S. GAAP purposes will include the fair value, as of the acquisition date, of certain future contingent payments. To the extent contingent payments are deemed compensatory in nature, such payments will be recognized as expense in future periods, and will thus not be included in the U.S. GAAP purchase price. MaxPower will be incorporated into Vishay’s MOSFETs reportable segment, and the goodwill related to this acquisition will be included in the MOSFETs reporting unit for goodwill impairment testing.
