News Release

Vishay Updates Status of Class Action Lawsuit –
Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be Held as Scheduled

MALVERN, Pa.  – April 26, 2006 – Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today provided an update on the status of a purported class action litigation pending against the Company in the Delaware Court of Chancery seeking to enjoin the Company’s 2006 annual meeting and to invalidate the authorization of shares of Class C common stock and a charter amendment to be voted on at the meeting.  The court declined to hold a hearing on the plaintiff’s request for a preliminary injunction.  Instead, the court will hold a trial on the plaintiff’s claims in June 2006, after the annual meeting is held.  Vishay has agreed not to implement the authorization of the Class C stock or the charter amendment, if approved, prior to the court’s decision.  Vishay previously stated that it had no current plans to issue shares of Class C stock.

Vishay’s annual meeting of stockholders will be held as scheduled on May 11, 2006.

Vishay has filed various documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission related to its annual meeting, including its definitive proxy statement and a copy of the complaint.   Stockholders are advised to read Vishay’s proxy materials because they contain important information.  Investors may obtain a free copy of Vishay’s proxy materials with respect to the annual meeting, the complaint, and other documents filed by Vishay with the SEC at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, at Vishay’s investor relations website at ir.vishay.com, or by directing a request to: Vishay Intertechnology, Inc., 63 Lincoln Highway, Malvern, PA 19355, Attention: Investor Relations.
