Item 8.01 – Other Events
On April 29, 2005, Vishay announced that a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) has been executed with the plaintiffs in the consolidated class action litigation in Delaware Chancery Court regarding Vishay’s pending exchange offer for the shares of Siliconix incorporated (NASDAQ: SILI) not owned by Vishay. The MOU sets forth the terms and conditions under which the plaintiffs, Vishay and Siliconix have agreed in principle to settle the action. The settlement is subject to court approval.
The plaintiff in the California action challenging the exchange offer is not a party to the MOU. The California Superior court issued a stay of that action on April 26, 2005.
