Current wording

A number of countries in which we manufacture or do business in are identified in the report as being on the Priority Watch List, such as China and India, or the Watch List, such as Canada and Mexico. Among the concerns reported were trade secret theft, online piracy and counterfeiting, technology transfer requirements, and inadequate intellectual property protections and enforcement. The absence of harmonized intellectual property protection laws and effective enforcement makes it difficult to ensure consistent respect for patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property rights on a worldwide basis. As a result, it is possible that we will not be able to enforce our rights against third parties that misappropriate our proprietary technology in those countries.

Previous wording

In particular, our Measurement Systems business segment which produces highly specialized systems, can be priced for ten thousand dollars to $1 million or more per unit, so that a contract to acquire one or more units can materially contribute to our revenues during the period or periods that we are permitted to recognize the contract revenues for accounting purposes. The nature of our measurement systems business segments, and in particular, the products and systems manufactured for the steel industry, may therefore result in substantial fluctuations in our operating results, including revenues and profitability, from period to period, even though there has been no fundamental change in our business or its prospects. Further, customers may request a delay in shipping a product they have ordered due to changes in their business needs, which may delay the revenue recognition for the product until shipment occurs. This may make it difficult for investors to undertake period-to-period comparisons of our performance. Also, the fluctuating nature of key components of our revenues may limit the visibility of our

Previous wording

Certain of our products must be qualified or approved under various military and aerospace specifications and other standards. We have qualified certain of our foil resistor products under various military specifications approved and monitored by the DLA, and under certain European military specifications, and various aerospace standards approved by NASA and the ESA. Qualification and specification levels are based in part upon product failure rate. We must continuously perform tests on our products, and for products that are qualified, the results of these tests must be reported to the qualifying organization. Certain of our force sensor products are approved by the NTEP and OIML. Our on-board weighing systems must meet approved standards to make them legal-for-trade. If a product fails to meet the requirements for the applicable classification level or other approval, the product’s classification or approval may be suspended or reduced to a lower level. During the time that the classification is suspended or reduced to a lower level, net revenues and earnings attributable to that product may be adversely affected.

The failure by us to comply with applicable environmental, health and safety requirements could result in fines, penalties, enforcement actions, third-party claims for property damage and personal injury, requirements to clean up property or to pay for the costs of cleanup, or regulatory or judicial orders requiring corrective measures, which could have a material adverse effect

Additionally, such actions could negatively impact our reputation in the impacted geographic market and more broadly.

Previous wording

We generate a significant amount of cash and profits from our non-U.S. subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2024, 94% of our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were held by subsidiaries outside of the United States. Any repatriation of such funds could incur local withholding tax in the source and intervening foreign jurisdictions. These amounts could also be subject to certain U.S. state taxes.

We use the mark Vishay under license from Vishay Intertechnology, which could result in product and market confusion.

Current wording

We use the markVishayunder license from Vishay Intertechnology, which could result in product and market confusion.

Previous wording

We use the mark Vishay as part of our name and in connection with many of our products. Our use of the Vishay mark is governed by an agreement between us and Vishay Intertechnology, giving us a perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide license for the use of the mark. We believe that it is important that we continue the use of the Vishay name, to a certain extent, in order to benefit from the reputation of the Vishay brand, which was first used in connection with our foil resistors and strain gages when Vishay Intertechnology was founded over 50 years ago.

Previous wording

There are risks associated with our use of the Vishay mark, however, because both we, and Vishay Intertechnology, use the Vishay mark, confusion could arise in the market regarding the products offered by the two companies, and there could be a misplaced perception of our continuing to be associated with Vishay Intertechnology. Also, any negative publicity associated with one of the two companies in the future could adversely affect the public image of the other. Finally, Vishay Intertechnology will have the right to terminate the license agreement, in certain extreme circumstances, if we are in material and repeated breach of the terms of the agreement, which would likely have an adverse effect on us and our business.

Previous wording

Some of our products are produced in Israel, India, China, and other countries which are particularly subject to risks of political, economic, health and military instability. This instability could result in wars, riots, nationalization of industry, currency fluctuations, and labor unrest or unavailability. These conditions could have an adverse impact on our ability to manufacture, ship and operate in these regions and, depending on the extent and severity of these conditions, could result in a reduction in

Current wording

Some of our products are produced in Israel, India, China, and other countries which are particularly subject to risks of political, economic, health and military instability. This instability could result in wars, riots, nationalization of industry, currency fluctuations, and labor unrest or unavailability. These conditions could have an adverse impact on our ability to manufacture, ship and operate in these regions and, depending on the extent and severity of these conditions, could result in a reduction in customer orders and sales to certain regions and end-markets and materially and adversely affect our overall financial condition and operating results.

Previous wording

We have principal manufacturing facilities and operations located in Israel. Accordingly, our business is directly influenced by the political, economic and military conditions affecting Israel at any given time. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have occurred between Israel and its neighboring countries, terrorist organizations and other militant groups, including the current war between Israel and Hamas. We have never experienced any material interruption in our operations attributable to these factors, in spite of several Middle East crises, including the current war. In response to conflict in or around Israel, we could in the future temporarily discontinue production in Israel for the safety of our employees. We could also face future production slowdowns or interruptions at either of our manufacturing locations in Israel due to the impacts of conflicts, such as the war between Israel and Hamas, including personnel absences as a number of our employees have been called to active military duty, or due to other resource constraints such as the inability to source materials for production. The intensity and duration of Israel’s current war against Hamas are difficult to predict as are such war’s implications on our operations and on the global economy. A change in the security and political situation in Israel and in the economy could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We could also face future production slowdowns or interruptions at either of our manufacturing locations in Israel due to the impacts of conflicts. A change in the security and political situation in Israel and in the economy could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. To the extent practicable, we maintain contingency plans to mitigate the impact on our Israel-based operations and to maintain the safety of our employees which may result from military or political conflicts. These include adjusting production schedules, shipping inventories to our locations and warehouses in other geographies, providing transportation and other resources to employees, and utilizing our other operations.

Previous wording

We have two classes of common stock: common stock and Class B convertible common stock. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held, while the holders of Class B convertible common stock are entitled to 10 votes for each share held. The ownership of Class B convertible common stock is highly concentrated, and holders of Class B convertible common stock effectively can cause the election of directors and the approval or disapproval of other matters requiring stockholder approval. Mrs. Ruta Zandman, the widow of the late founder of our technology, Dr. Felix Zandman, controls the voting of, solely or on a shared basis with Marc Zandman (Dr. Felix Zandman's son and a member of our Board of Directors) and Ziv Shoshani (Mrs. Ruta Zandman’s nephew and our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board of Directors), approximately 76.9% of our Class B convertible common stock, representing 35.0% of the total voting power of our capital stock as of December 31, 2024. Holders of our Class B convertible common stock may act in ways that are contrary to, or not in the best interests of, holders of our common stock. The voting rights of the holders of our Class B convertible common stock effectively give such holders the ability to prevent transactions that would result in a change in control of us, including transactions in which holders of our common stock might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over the then-current market price.

We rely on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of complex information technology systems and networks to operate our business. Any significant system or network disruption, including, but not limited to, new system implementations, computer viruses, security breaches, facility issues or energy blackouts could have a material adverse impact on our operations and results of operations. Such network disruption could result in a loss of the confidentiality of our intellectual property or the release of sensitive competitive information or customer or employee personal data.

Any significant system or network disruption, including, but not limited to, new system implementations, computer viruses, security breaches, facility issues or energy blackouts could have a material adverse impact on our operations and results of operations. Such network disruption could result in a loss of the confidentiality of our intellectual property or the release of sensitive competitive information or customer or employee personal data. Any loss of such information could harm our competitive position, result in a loss of customer confidence, and cause us to incur significant costs to remedy the damages caused by the disruptions or security breaches. We have implemented protective measures to prevent against and limit the effects of system or network disruptions, but there can be no assurance that such measures will be sufficient to prevent or limit the damage from any future disruptions and any such disruption could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.
