Item 3.03 – Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On November 14, 2007, the Board of Directors of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. adopted amendments to the amended and restated bylaws of the Company in light of the new requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that all securities listed on NYSE be eligible for a direct registration system operated by a securities depository. Eligibility for direct registration requires that a company’s corporate documents permit its stock to be issued in uncertificated form. Accordingly, the Board approved the amendments to reference the issuance of stock in uncertificated form.
A direct registration program permits investors’ ownership to be recorded and maintained on the books of the Company or the transfer agent without the issuance of a physical stock certificate and allows investors to electronically transfer securities to broker-dealers in order to effect transactions without the risks and delays associated with transferring physical certificates.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amended and restated bylaws, incorporated herein as Exhibit 3.2 to this Form 8-K.
