Item 1.02 - Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
 
In 2012, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. ("Vishay") issued $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.25% Senior Convertible Debentures due 2042 (the "Senior Convertible Debentures due 2042").  The Senior Convertible Debentures due 2042 were governed by an Indenture, dated as of May 31, 2012 (the "Indenture"), between Vishay and Union Bank, N.A., as trustee.
 
In a series of transactions during June, November, and December 2018 and February 2019, Vishay repurchased all of the outstanding Senior Convertible Debentures due 2042 in open market repurchases or through individually negotiated agreements with holders.
 
On March 11, 2019, Union Bank, N.A., as trustee, confirmed that Vishay has satisfied and discharged its obligations under the Indenture.
 
Item 7.01 - Regulation FD Disclosure.
 
Conversion Ratio Adjustments for Dividends
 
The quarterly cash dividend program of Vishay results in adjustments to the conversion rate and effective conversion price for each issuance of Vishay's convertible senior debentures, specifically, the 2.25% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2040 and the 2.25% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2041. As required by the indentures governing the terms of each issuance of debentures, Vishay has delivered a notice and officers' certificate to the trustees regarding these adjustments.

Pursuant to the indentures governing the terms of each issuance of debentures, effective March 13, 2019 (the ex-dividend date), the adjusted conversion rate and adjusted effective conversion price are as follows (subject to the conditions applicable to conversion of debentures set forth in the indentures):
