Item 1.01 – Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

As described in our current report on Form 8-K filed February 28, 2007, the Compensation Committee made a special stock option grant to the executive officers and certain other employees in light of the Company’s performance in 2006.

The stock options were granted as part of the approved allotment from the Company’s 1998 Stock Option Program.

Grants to the executive officers are as follows:

Name Options Granted
Dr. Felix Zandman 210,000
Dr. Gerald Paul 140,000
Richard N. Grubb 70,000
Marc Zandman 25,000
Ziv Shoshani 25,000

Due to limitations on the number of options that can be granted to an individual in a year under the 1998 Stock Option Program, the grants for Drs. Zandman and Paul and Mr. Grubb are contingent upon the approval of an amendment to the 1998 Stock Option Program. The amendment to the 1998 Stock Option Program will be presented for approval at Vishay’s annual meeting of stockholders.

Assuming approval of the amendment at the annual meeting, the grant date for these options contingently granted to Drs. Zandman and Paul and Mr. Grubb will be the date of the annual meeting, and the exercise price will be set based on the closing price of Vishay common stock on that date.

The recommended grants for Mr. Marc Zandman and Mr. Shoshani were made on February 27, 2007 in accordance with the provisions of the 1998 Stock Option Program and have an exercise price of $14.25, the closing price for Vishay common stock on the date of grant.

Item 5.02 – Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers

(e) Compensatory plans, contracts, and arrangements with named executive officers

See Item 1.01 above.
