Item 1.01 – Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
Effective June 11, 2010, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. and its lenders entered into a consent and third amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to the consent and amendment, the lenders consented to various items necessary to effectuate the proposed Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (“VPG”) spin-off transaction, including, upon consummation of such spin-off transaction, the release of all collateral related to VPG entities. Additionally, the tangible net worth covenant was revised (such revision to be effective only in the event such spin-off transaction is consummated), reflecting the decrease in tangible net worth expected to occur upon the spin-off of VPG, to $1 billion plus 75% of net proceeds of equity offerings plus, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2011, 50% of net income (without offset for losses) for each fiscal quarter ending after December 31, 2010.
 
This amendment also made minor modifications to the collateral arrangements and minor increases to pricing under the Credit Agreement.
 
Other significant terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement have not been changed. The Credit Agreement, as amended, will expire April 20, 2012.
 
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Consent and Third Amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
