Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. ("Vishay," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") is a leading global manufacturer and supplier of discrete semiconductors and passive components.

Substantially all of our products utilize one or more of the minerals tantalum, tin, tungsten or gold—"conflict minerals" (as defined in Section 1, Item 1.01 (d)(3) of Form SD)—that are necessary to the functionality or production of such products. Based on a "reasonable country of origin inquiry" Vishay knows or has reason to believe that a portion of its necessary conflict minerals originated or may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (collectively, the "Covered Countries") and knows or has reason to believe that those necessary conflict minerals may not be from recycled or scrap sources.

Accordingly, Vishay designed its due diligence process regarding the source and chain of custody of such conflict minerals, based upon the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, an internationally recognized due diligence framework.

Vishay continues to work with industry groups, including the Responsible Business Alliance (formerly known as the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition), and its supply chain partners to attempt to determine the country of origination of such materials.

In accordance with Rule 13p-1, Vishay has filed this Specialized Disclosure Form (Form SD) and the associated Conflict Minerals Report filed as an exhibit to this Form SD, and both reports are posted to our publicly available website at http://ir.vishay.com/sec-filings.
