Item 8.01 – Other Matters

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. today announced that the Internal Revenue Service has completed an examination of Vishay’s U.S. income tax returns for the tax years 2000 through 2002, and related carryback years.  As a result of this examination, Vishay will pay less than $2 million related to additional tax assessments and interest, for which the Company had previously recorded accruals in its consolidated financial statements.  Concurrent with the completion of this examination, Vishay began the process to repatriate approximately $135 million of cash which previously was expected to be reinvested outside of the United States indefinitely.  The net impact of these transactions is not expected to be material to income tax expense for the third fiscal quarter, which ends October 1, 2005.

At July 2, 2005, the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter, Vishay had $577 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which, approximately $555 million was held by its wholly-owned subsidiaries outside of the United States.
