Item 2.02 – Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On February 8, 2022, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. ("the Company") issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2021. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this report.

Item 7.01 – Regulation FD Disclosure

Computational Guidance on Earnings Per Share Estimates

The Company frequently receives questions from analysts and stockholders regarding its diluted earnings per share ("EPS") computation.

The Company’s convertible debt repurchase activity over the past three years, together with the adoption of the new convertible debt standard and related actions, significantly reduces the variability of the shares to be utilized in the calculation of diluted EPS.

The expected shares to be utilized in the calculation of diluted EPS for the first fiscal quarter of 2022 is approximately 146 million.

This estimate of shares expected to be used in the calculation of diluted EPS should be read in conjunction with the information on earnings per share in the Company's filings on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K. This estimate is unaudited and not necessarily indicative of the shares used in the diluted EPS computation for any period subsequent to the first fiscal quarter of 2022. The Company assumes no duty to revise this estimate as a result of significant changes versus the assumed average stock price for the quarter and other parameters on which it is based.

Item 8.01 – Other Events

On February 7, 2022, the Company issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors has adopted a Stockholder Return Policy that will remain in effect until such time as the Board votes to amend or rescind the policy. A copy of the press release announcing the Stockholder Return Policy is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report
