Thu, April 9, 2009 Vishay: Vishay Intertechnology Announces 2009 Annual Stockholders' Meeting
MALVERN, PA--(Marketwire - April 9, 2009) - Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (
Dr. Felix Zandman, Vishay's Executive Chairman of the Board and Chief Technical and Business Development Officer, and Dr. Gerald Paul, Vishay's President and Chief Executive Officer, will make presentations. A live audio webcast will be accessible on the Vishay website at [ http://ir.vishay.com ].
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission recently adopted rules that allow companies to change the way they make proxy statements and other annual meeting materials available to stockholders. The rules require that the company mail a notice to its stockholders advising that its proxy statement, annual report to stockholders, electronic proxy card, and related materials are available for viewing, free of charge, on the Internet. Stockholders may then access these materials and vote over the Internet or request delivery of a full set of materials by mail or email. Vishay has elected to utilize this process for the 2009 annual meeting. Vishay began mailing the required notice, called the "Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials," to stockholders on or about, April 9, 2009. The proxy materials are available for viewing, free of charge, on the Internet, at [ http://ir.vishay.com ].
These rules give Vishay the opportunity to serve stockholders more efficiently by making the proxy materials available quickly online and reducing costs associated with printing and postage. Stockholders who receive a Notice will not receive a paper or electronic copy of the proxy materials unless they request a copy using the procedure described in the Notice and on Vishay's investor relations website.
