Item 5.02 – Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On December 15, 2010, the Board of Directors of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (“Vishay”), upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved an amendment to the employment agreement of Dr. Lior E. Yahalomi, Vishay’s Executive Vice President - Chief Financial Officer.
The amendment modifies the compensation payable to Dr. Yahalomi in the event of a termination for any reason other than for cause, increasing the severance payment to be equal to 24 months of base salary, and including the bonus that would have been payable for the calendar year of termination.
Dr. Yahalomi initially signed an employment agreement in December 2008, shortly after becoming Vishay’s Chief Financial Officer. That agreement provided for severance payments of up to 12 months of base salary in the event of termination for any reason other than for cause. In light of Dr. Yahalomi’s extended tenure with the Company and in his present position, it was determined to revise this provision of his employment agreement to be more consistent with the Company’s other executive officers.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amendment to employment agreement between Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. and Dr. Lior E. Yahalomi, incorporated herein as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K.
