Item 8.01 - Other Events

In February 2022, the Board of Directors of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. ("Vishay") approved, and Vishay announced, a Stockholder Return Policy ("SHRP"), which set forth the intention of Vishay to annually return to stockholders at least 70% of free cash flow, net of scheduled principal payments of long-term debt, directly in the form of dividends, or indirectly, in the form of stock repurchases.

Since February 2022, as of August 15, 2022, Vishay has paid aggregate dividends of $28.8 million and has purchased approximately 2.3 million shares of common stock in open market transactions for approximately $43.4 million.

On August 16, 2022, Vishay's Board of Directors approved the repurchase of an additional 6.0 million shares of common stock, effective from and after July 2, 2022 (the end of the second fiscal quarter), to enable the operation of the SHRP for the foreseeable future.

Also on August 16, 2022, Vishay's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share of common stock and Class B common stock outstanding payable on September 28, 2022 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 9, 2022.

Further implementation of the Stockholder Return Policy is subject to future declarations of dividends by the Board of Directors, market and business conditions, legal requirements, regulatory and tax matters, and other factors. The policy sets forth Vishay's intention, but does not obligate Vishay to acquire any shares of common stock or declare any dividends. The Company has no current intent to change its dividend level. The SHRP may be terminated or suspended at any time at Vishay's discretion, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

A copy of the press release announcing the August 16 dividend declaration is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
