Amounts represent the fair value of the RSUs granted, determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 in the year of grant. The grant-date fair value is based on the same assumptions described in Note 12 of
our consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K filed on February 13, 2026, including the consideration of the present value of assumed dividends which are not received by the RSU holder during the vesting period.
Accordingly, the value of stock awards in the table above will be different than the stated “incentive value” described above. The grant-date fair value is recognized for accounting purposes over the respective vesting periods.
|
| (2) |
Mr. Shoshani resigned from the Board, effective May 20, 2025, and Mr. Talbert did not stand for re-election to the Board effective May 20, 2025. Upon their cessations of service, Messrs. Shoshani and
Talbert's outstanding restricted stock units vested proportionally, and the unvested portion of such awards were forfeited. Although we have shown the full grant date fair value of their stock awards in accordance with SEC rules, the grant
date fair value of the portion of their 2025 stock awards that vested was $21,187, respectively.
|
| (3) |
In addition to her cash retainer of $70,000, Mrs. Zandman received $150,000 in 2025 for her role in preserving the memory of the late Dr. Felix Zandman and the Company's corporate history.

Table of Contents |
|
•
|
Minimum base salary levels are fixed in amount;
|
|
•
|
While annual cash bonuses focus on the achievement of short-term or annual goals, and short-term goals may encourage risk-taking, annual cash bonuses for Named Executive Officers are capped in
order to balance the risk; and
|
|
•
|
A significant portion of our RSUs carry performance conditions which are tied to relative Total Stockholder Return ("rTSR") metrics over a three-year period. rTSR is based on Vishay’s total stockholder return relative to returns on the S&P SmallCap 600 Index. |
|
•
|
a meaningful portion of compensation is deferred until retirement or termination of employment under our non-qualified deferred compensation plan; and
|
|
•
|
phantom stock units are only settled upon retirement or termination of employment, thus providing an incentive for the creation of long-term stockholder value.
|
|
•
|
The Chief Executive Officer is required to own shares of the Company's common stock having an aggregate fair market value equal to or greater
than three (3) times his base salary as of the Measurement Date (market close on the first trading day in March of each calendar year). Each Covered Executive, other than the Chief Executive Officer, is required to own shares of the
Company's common stock having an aggregate fair market value equal to or greater than one (1) time the Covered Executive's base salary as of the Measurement Date (market close on the first trading day in March of each calendar year).
|
|
|
•
|
Individuals who are Covered Executives as of the Adoption Date will have until the first trading day in March of 2027 to attain the specified
level of equity ownership. Any individual who becomes a Covered Executive later will have until the first Measurement Date that occurs at least five years from the date he or she became a Covered Executive to attain the specified level of
equity ownership.
|
|
| • | Following the 5-year phase-in period, Covered Executives who do not meet the
required ownership threshold will be generally prohibited from selling stock acquired through equity awards. |
|
| • | The following will be considered "owned" for the purposes of the Executive
Stock Ownership Guidelines: |
|
| • | all shares underlying time-based equity awards, whether or not vested; |
|
| • | only vested shares underlying performance-based equity awards; and |
|
| • | shares held outright or beneficially owned by the Covered Executive, his or her
spouse and minor children, or a trust for the benefit of these individuals |
|
| • | An executive promoted into a role with a higher level of required stock
ownership will have until the first Measurement Date that occurs at least five years after such promotion to achieve the requisite level of stock ownership. |

s
The Company has historically gauged its overall performance in accordance with what it terms "adjusted net earnings" and Mr. Zandman's cash-based incentive compensation arrangement in 2025 was based on this metric.
s
The Compensation Committee applies judgment to adjust certain financial metrics for compensation-determination purposes. Many of these adjustments are reflected in non-GAAP performance measures disclosed by the Company and further explained in its Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, and Form 8-K (earnings press release) filings. Other adjustments may relate to significant M&A activities or the impact of geopolitical factors outside of management’s control, such as tariffs, foreign currency exchange rate impacts, and precious metals pricing.
s
Adjusted gross profit margin in 2025 excluded the impacts in excess of budget for tariffs, foreign currency exchange rate changes, and metals price increases. Adjusted gross profit margin in 2025 also was adjusted to consider the margin impact of the favorable resolution of a contingency, which would have benefited gross profit if the revenue transactions underlying the dispute had occurred versus the settlement mechanism implemented. The Compensation Committee concluded that these impacts were outside of management's control and therefore deemed the adjustments necessary to fairly measure the operating performance of the Company.

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. | 2026 Proxy Statement

| 2026 Proxy Statement | Compensation Tables |
|
Table of Contents |
|
(1)
|
Column (c) reflects base salary earned. The employment agreements for Messrs. Zandman and Webster specified that their salaries be denominated and paid in Israeli Shekels. The amounts presented have been
converted into U.S. dollars at the weighted average exchange rate for the year.
|
|
(2)
|
Column (d) reflects bonuses earned by our Named Executive Officers.
|
| (3) |
Column (e) represents the grant-date fair value of RSUs and PBRSUs granted in the respective years determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 in the year of grant. The
grant-date fair value is based on the same assumptions described in Note 12 of our consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K filed on February 13, 2026, including the consideration of the present value of assumed dividends which
are not received by the RSU holder during the vesting period. The common stock underlying the RSU and PBRSU awards is not received until the awards are vested (in some cases, subject to satisfaction of performance conditions) and accordingly,
there can be no assurance that the grant-date fair value of these awards will ever be realized. |
| (4) | Column (e) also includes the grant-date fair value of 5,000 phantom stock units awarded annually to Mr. Zandman pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement. The common stock underlying these awards is not received until termination of employment, and accordingly, there can be no assurance that the grant-date fair value of these awards will ever be realized. |
| (5) | Column (g) reflects non-equity incentive compensation earned by our Named Executive Officers. |
| (6) | Column (h) reflects the change in the actuarial present value of the Named Executive Officer's pension and other post-employment benefits under respective defined benefit retirement plans, from the plan measurement date used in preparing the prior year consolidated financial statements to the plan measurement date used in preparing the current year consolidated financial statements, determined using the same interest rate, mortality, and other actuarial assumptions used in our consolidated financial statements as set forth in Note 11 thereof. The change in pension value for Mr. Zandman from 2024 to 2025 was mainly driven by foreign exchange impacts and changes in discount rates. No amounts are presented for 2025 for Mr. Henrici because changes in actuarial assumptions resulted in a decrease in the net present value of such benefits. |
| (7) | The Company includes in these pension and post-employment benefits certain termination benefits for Mr. Zandman, which are payable at normal retirement if such executives are employed by the Company at age 62. See "Pension and Retirement Benefits" beginning on page 49. |
| (8) | Some of our named executive officers participate in our non-qualified deferred compensation plan under which amounts deferred are credited with earnings based on the
performance of notional investment options available under the plan. However, no portion of the earnings credited were "above market" or "preferential." Consequently, no deferred compensation plan earnings are included in the amounts reported
in column (h). See the "Non-qualified Deferred Compensation" table for more information on the benefits payable under the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. |
| (9) | All Other Compensation includes company contributions into Vishay's non-qualified deferred compensation plan, personal use of company car, benefits generally available
to employees in Israel, medical benefits in excess of normal group or government health insurance in country of residence, additional units of phantom stock granted as a result of dividends declared by the Company, and other perquisites, as
described below (asterisk denotes amounts paid in foreign currency and translated at average exchange rates for the year): |

Mr. Shoshani was appointed Executive Vice President - Chief Operating Officer - Semiconductors and Chief Technical Officer effective January 13, 2025, and previously served as Executive Vice President and Chief Technical Officer. |
| (11) | Mr. Henrici was designated as a Named Executive Officer for the first time in 2025. In accordance with the SEC’s executive compensation disclosure rules under
Item 402 of Regulation S‑K, the Company is required to present compensation information in the Summary Compensation Table only for fiscal years in which an individual served as a Named Executive Officer. Because Mr. Henrici did not serve as a
Named Executive Officer in 2024 or 2023, compensation for those fiscal years is not included in the table. |
| (12) |
Mr. Webster's employment with the Company ceased effective January 13, 2025. |

Table of Contents |
|
(1)
|
Amounts in these columns represent the threshold, target and maximum bonus levels for each Named Executive Officer. There is no threshold for Mr. Zandman applicable to estimated
future payouts of the Company's non-equity incentive plan awards, as he was entitled to 1% of adjusted net earnings, up to a maximum of 3x his base salary. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (2) |
The threshold non-equity incentive plan awards column for each Named Executive Officer consists of multiple elements as described in Annual Incentive Compensation on page 36. The threshold for
both adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted gross profit margin is 50% of the respective target percentage. There is no defined threshold applicable to the Transformation and Individual Scorecards.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (3) | Included in these columns are market-condition PBRSUs granted pursuant to the respective employment agreements of the Named Executive Officers. The market-condition PBRSUs will be
earned based on relative Total Stockholder Return ("rTSR"), Vishay's total stockholder return relative to returns on the S&P SmallCap 600 Index. The 2025 PBRSUs are measured over a 3-year period ending December 31, 2027. The maximum number of
units that can be earned is 200% of target if the rTSR exceeds 140%. Such awards are subject to accelerated vesting upon certain termination events as described above. The payout scale is as follows: |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 20% or more below the S&P SmallCap 600 Index |
0% |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Between 0% and 20% below the S&P SmallCap 600 Index |
50.00% to 99.99% |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Equal to the S&P SmallCap 600 Index |
100% |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Between 0% and 40% above the S&P SmallCap 600 Index |
100.01% to 199.99% |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 40% or more above the S&P SmallCap 600 Index |
200% |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (4) |
Included in this column are awards of phantom stock granted to Mr. Zandman and awards of RSUs granted to Named Executive Officers.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (5) | Amounts in this column include: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| • |
the grant-date fair value of the time-vested RSUs. The amount is calculated using the closing price of Vishay stock on the date of grant of $17.97 adjusted for the present value of expected dividends. The
common stock underlying these awards is not received unless and until the awards are vested and, accordingly, there can be no assurance that the grant-date fair value (or any value) will ever be realized in respect of these awards.
|
| • |
the grant-date fair value of the market-condition PBRSUs. The amount is calculated using a Monte Carlo valuation model and using the average closing price of Vishay stock for twenty days prior to year end. The grant-date fair value of the
market-condition PBRSUs was determined to be $22.36. The common stock underlying these awards is not received unless and until the awards are earned and vested and, accordingly, there can be no assurance that the grant date fair value (or any
value) will ever be realized in respect of these awards.
|
| • |
the grant-date fair value of 5,000 phantom stock units. The amount is calculated using the closing price of Vishay stock on the grant date of $16.69. The common stock underlying these awards is not received
until termination of employment, and accordingly, there can be no assurance that the grant-date fair value (or any value) will ever be realized in respect of these awards.
|
| (6) | Pursuant to Mr. Zandman's employment agreement, the market value of shares underlying his 2025 grant was equal to 125% of his base salary. The amounts
in this table vary based on the U.S. GAAP methodologies to compute grant date fair value. |

Time-based vesting conditions will be deemed satisfied, and
performance-based vesting conditions will remain in effect, upon the executive's resignation with "good reason," or resignation for any reason following the attainment of age 62 (except where cause exists). In the event of voluntary
termination by the executive before age 62 (without "good reason") or termination for cause, the executive's outstanding RSUs (including PBRSUs) will be forfeited. As of December 31, 2025, Marc Zandman had reached age 62. Enhanced vesting
treatment may also apply upon death, disability or certain severance events, as discussed below under the heading "Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control".

These amounts are included in column (i) of the "Summary Compensation Table" as a component of "All Other Compensation." No portion of the earnings credited during 2025 was "above market" or "preferential." Accordingly, no amounts related to earnings on deferred compensation have been included in the "Summary Compensation Table." | |

| (3) | "Compensation actually paid" is computed based on guidance in the SEC rules, and adjusts stock compensation as presented in the Summary Compensation Table

Both total shareholder return ("TSR") and peer group TSR are determined in the same manner, calculated as the sum of cumulative dividends (assuming
dividend reinvestment) and the cumulative increase or decrease in the stock price/stock index each respective year, divided by the stock price/stock index at December 31, 2020. Peer group TSR is based on the Philadelphia Semiconductor
Index, which the Company utilizes as a peer group in its stock performance graph presented in Item 5 of its annual report on Form 10-K. |
|
| (5) |
The “Company selected measure” is “Adjusted Net Earnings.” "Adjusted Net
Earnings" is described and calculated under the heading "Performance Measures and Metrics," beginning on page 33. For several years, this measure was clearly the most important measure when evaluating pay versus performance. All
current non-equity incentive compensation metrics generally move in tandem with "Adjusted Net Earnings". In the future, we may determine that another measure is the most important financial performance measure.

The market-condition PBRSUs will be earned based on relative Total Stockholder Return (“rTSR”), Vishay’s total stockholder return relative to returns on the S&P SmallCap 600 Index. The 2026 PBRSUs will be measured over a 3-year
period ending December 31, 2028. The PBRSUs listed in the table represent the number of units earned at target. The maximum number of units that can be earned is 200% of target if the rTSR exceeds 140%. Such awards are subject to
accelerated vesting upon certain termination events as described above.

Additional information about these plans is presented in Note 12 to the Company's consolidated financial statements, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. | |
| (2) | The 2023 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, RSUs (including PBRSUs), and phantom stock units. Therefore the shares available for future issuance are presented only in total for the 2023 Plan. | |
| (3) |
Following the approval of the 2023 Plan, there are no authorized shares available for grant under the 2007 Stock Incentive Program. Pursuant to the terms of the 2023 Plan, any shares of common stock that are subject to outstanding awards granted pursuant to the 2007 Program that subsequently cease to be subject to such awards as a result of the termination, expiration, cancellation, or forfeiture of such awards and any shares of common stock withheld in settlement of tax withholding obligations associated with outstanding awards granted pursuant to the 2007 Program may become available for issuance under the 2023 Plan. | |
| (4) |
Proposal 4 (Approval of Amendment No. 1 to the 2023 Plan) proposes to increase the number of shares available for future issuance under the 2023 Plan by
6,000,000 shares. |
|
| (5) |
Each RSU entitles the recipient to receive a share of Vishay common stock. Because these awards have no exercise price, there is no calculation of weighted average exercise price. Performance-based RSUs subject to performance periods
ending after December 31, 2025 are shown assuming performance criteria are achieved at target.
|
|
| (6) | Each phantom stock unit entitles the recipient to receive a share of Vishay common stock at the individual's termination of employment or any other future date specified in the employment agreement. Because these awards have no exercise price, there is no calculation of the weighted average exercise price. | |

Shares Subject to the Plan. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 14 of the Plan, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan is the sum of (i) 11,999,386 Shares, plus
(ii) any additional Shares subject to Prior Plan Awards that are recycled into the Plan pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof. Any Shares issued hereunder may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Shares or treasury shares. |
|
| (b) | Substitute Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Shares issued in respect of Awards granted in substitution for equity-based awards of an entity acquired by the Company or a Subsidiary, or with which the Company or a Subsidiary combines, will not be counted against the number of Shares available for issuance hereunder. | |
| (c) | Share Recycling. If and to the extent that an Award or a Prior Plan Award terminates, expires, is canceled or is forfeited for any reason on or after the Effective Date (including upon cancellation or settlement of such award in exchange for cash or property other than Shares), the Shares associated with that Award or Prior Plan Award will become available (or again be available) for grant under the Plan. Similarly, Shares withheld on or after the Effective Date in settlement of a tax withholding obligation associated with an Award or a Prior Plan Award (other than a stock option or stock appreciation right), will become available (or again be available) for grant under the Plan. However, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of a stock-based settlement of a stock appreciation right (whether granted under this Plan or a Prior Plan), any Shares that are subject to the exercised portion of the Award that are not delivered upon such exercise will not again be available for grant under the Plan. Similarly, any Shares withheld in satisfaction of the exercise price of a stock option (whether granted under this Plan or a Prior Plan), will not become available (or again be available) for grant under the Plan. | |
| (d) |
Incentive Stock Option Limit. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 14 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan in
respect of Incentive Stock Options is 11,999,386. |
|
| (e) | Foreign Holders. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in order to comply with the laws in countries other than the United States in which the Company and/or any of its respective Affiliates operate or have employees, directors and consultants, in order to comply with the requirements of any foreign securities exchange or other Applicable Law, or to otherwise ensure the viability of the benefits from Awards granted to employees, directors and consultants performing services in such countries and to meet the objectives of the Plan, the Committee, in its discretion, shall have the power and authority to: (i) modify the terms and conditions of any Award granted to employees, directors and consultants outside the United States to comply with Applicable Law (including, without limitation, applicable foreign laws or listing requirements of any foreign securities exchange); (ii) establish subplans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent such actions may be necessary or advisable; provided, however, that no such subplans and/or modifications shall increase the share limitations contained in Section 3; and (iii) take any action, before or after an Award is made, that it deems advisable to obtain approval or comply with any necessary local governmental regulatory exemptions or approvals or listing requirements of any foreign securities exchange. | |
| (f) | Annual Compensation Limitations for Non-Employee Directors. Beginning with the first fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the Effective Date occurs, the aggregate amount of equity and cash compensation (collectively “Compensation”) payable to a Non-Employee Director with respect to a fiscal year, whether under the Plan or otherwise, for services as a Non-Employee Director, shall not exceed $800,000 (the “Director Limit”). Equity incentive awards shall be counted towards the Director Limit in the fiscal year in which they are granted, based on the grant date fair value of such awards for financial reporting purposes (but excluding the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting provisions). Cash fees shall be counted towards the Director Limit in the fiscal year for which they are reported as compensation in the Company’s director compensation disclosures pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, or a successor provision. The Director Limit shall not apply to (i) Compensation earned by a Non-Employee Director solely in the Participant’s capacity as chairperson of the Board or lead independent director; (ii) Compensation earned with respect to services a Non-Employee Director provides in a capacity other than as a Non-Employee Director, such as an advisor or consultant to the Company; and (iii) Compensation awarded by the Board to a Non-Employee Director in extraordinary circumstances, as determined by the Board in its discretion, in each case provided that the Non-Employee Director receiving such additional Compensation does not participate in the decision to award such Compensation. | |

| (a) | Option Price. The exercise price per Share under an Option will be determined by the Committee and will not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of the grant. However, any Incentive Stock Option granted to any Participant who, at the time the Option is granted, owns, either directly and/or within the meaning of the attribution rules contained in Section 424(d) of the Code, stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, will have an exercise price per Share of not less than 110% of Fair Market Value on the date of the grant. | |
| (b) | Option Term. The term of each Option will be fixed by the Committee, but no Option will be exercisable more than 10 years after the date the Option is granted. However, any Incentive Stock Option granted to any Participant who, at the time such Option is granted, owns, either directly and/or within the meaning of the attribution rules contained in Section 424(d) of the Code, stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, may not have a term of more than 5 years. No Option may be exercised by any Person after the expiration of the term of the Option. | |
| (c) | Exercisability. Options will vest and be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee. Such terms and conditions may include the continued employment or service of the Participant, the attainment of specified individual or corporate goals, or such other factors as the Committee may determine in its discretion (the “Vesting Conditions”). The Committee may provide in the terms of an Award Agreement that the Participant may exercise the unvested portion of an Option in whole or in part in exchange for shares of Restricted Stock subject to the same vesting terms as the portion of the Option so exercised. Restricted Stock acquired upon the exercise of an unvested Option shall be subject to such additional terms and conditions as determined by the Committee. | |
| (d) | Method of Exercise. Subject to the terms of the applicable Award Agreement, the exercisability provisions of Section 5(c) and the termination provisions of Section 7, Options may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time during their term by the delivery of written notice to the Company specifying the number of Shares to be purchased. Such notice will be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price and any taxes required to be withheld in connection with such exercise, either by certified or bank check, or such other means as the Committee may accept. The Committee may, in its discretion, permit payment of the exercise price of an Option in the form of previously acquired Shares based on the fair market value of the Shares on the date the Option is exercised or through means of a “net settlement,” whereby the Option exercise price will not be due in cash and where the number of Shares issued upon such exercise will be equal to: (A) the product of (i) the number of Shares as to which the Option is then being exercised, and (ii) the excess, if any, of (a) the then current fair market value over (b) the Option exercise price, divided by (B) the then current fair market value. | |
| (e) | Incentive Stock Option Limitations. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year under the Plan and/or any other plan of the Company, its Parent or any Subsidiary, will not exceed $100,000. For purposes of applying the foregoing limitation, Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order granted. To the extent any Option does not meet such limitation, that Option will be treated for all purposes as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. | |
| (f) | Automatic Exercise. Immediately before the time that any vested and exercisable Option is scheduled to expire in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, such Option shall be deemed automatically exercised subject to the following conditions: | |
| (i) |
Such Option is covered by a then-current registration statement or a Notification under Regulation A under the 1933 Act,
|
|
| (ii) |
The last reported sale price of a Share on the principal exchange on which Shares are listed on the date of determination, or if such date is not a trading day, the last preceding trading
day, exceeds the option price per Share by such amount as may be determined by the Committee or its delegate from time to time. Absent a contrary determination, such excess per Share shall be $0.01, and
|
|
| (iii) |
The employment or service of the Participant to whom such Option has been granted has not been terminated for Cause and immediately before the time at which any such Option is scheduled to
expire in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, there is no basis for such a termination.

The exercise price of any Option exercised automatically pursuant to this Section 5(f) shall be satisfied through a
"net settlement," as described in Section 5(d) above. |
| (g) | Termination of Service. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Award Agreement or as otherwise provided by the Committee at or after the time of grant, Options will be subject to the terms of Section 7 with respect to exercise upon or following termination of employment or other service. | |

SECTION 6. Stock Appreciation Right. Subject to the other terms of the Plan, the Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights to eligible individuals. Each Stock Appreciation Right shall represent the right to receive, upon exercise, an amount equal to the number
of Shares subject to the Award that is being exercised multiplied by the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value on the date the Award is exercised, over (ii) the base price specified in the applicable Award Agreement. Distributions may be
made in cash, Shares, or a combination of both, at the discretion of the Committee. The Committee may impose one or more Vesting Conditions on Stock Appreciation Rights. The Award Agreement evidencing each Stock Appreciation Right shall
indicate the base price, the term and the Vesting Conditions for such Award. A Stock Appreciation Right base price may never be less than the Fair Market Value of the underlying Share on the date of grant of such Stock Appreciation
Right. The term of each Stock Appreciation Right will be fixed by the Committee, but no Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable more than 10 years after the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted. Subject to the terms and
conditions of the applicable Award Agreement, Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time during their term by the delivery of written notice to the Company specifying the portion of the Award to be
exercised. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Award Agreement or as otherwise provided by the Committee at or after the time of grant, Stock Appreciation Rights will be subject to the terms of Section 7 with respect to exercise upon or following termination of employment or other service.
|
|
SECTION 7. Termination of Service. Unless otherwise specified with respect to a particular Option or Stock Appreciation Right in the applicable Award Agreement or otherwise determined by the Committee, any portion of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that is
not exercisable upon termination of service will expire immediately and automatically upon such termination and any portion of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that is exercisable upon termination of service will expire on the date
it ceases to be exercisable in accordance with this Section 7.
|
| (a) | Termination by Reason of Death. If the Participant’s service with the Company or any Affiliate terminates by reason of death, any Option or Stock Appreciation Right held by such Participant may thereafter be exercised, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of the Participant’s death or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine at or after grant, by the legal representative of the estate or by the legatee of the Participant, for a period expiring (i) at such time as may be specified by the Committee at or after grant, or (ii) if not specified by the Committee, then 12 months from the date of death, or (iii) if sooner than the applicable period specified under (i) or (ii) above, upon the expiration of the stated term of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right. | |
| (b) | Termination by Reason of Disability. If the Participant’s service with the Company or any Affiliate terminates by reason of Disability, any Option or Stock Appreciation Right held by such Participant may thereafter be exercised by the Participant or the Participant’s personal representative, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of termination, or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine at or after grant, for a period expiring (i) at such time as may be specified by the Committee at or after grant, or (ii) if not specified by the Committee, then 12 months from the date of termination of service, or (iii) if sooner than the applicable period specified under (i) or (ii) above, upon the expiration of the stated term of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right. | |
| (c) | Cause. If the Participant’s service with the Company or any Affiliate is terminated for Cause or if the Participant resigns at a time that there was a Cause basis for such Participant’s termination: (i) any Option or Stock Appreciation Right, or portion thereof, not already exercised will be immediately and automatically forfeited as of the date of such termination, and (ii) any Shares that the Company has not yet delivered, if applicable, will be immediately and automatically forfeited and the Company will refund to the Participant the Option exercise price paid for such Shares, if any. | |
| (d) | Other Termination. If the Participant’s service with the Company or any Affiliate terminates for any reason other than death, Disability or Cause, any Option or Stock Appreciation Right held by such Participant may thereafter be exercised by the Participant, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of such termination, or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine at or after grant, for a period expiring (i) at such time as may be specified by the Committee at or after grant, or (ii) if not specified by the Committee, then 90 days from the date of termination of service, or (iii) if sooner than the applicable period specified under (i) or (ii) above, upon the expiration of the stated term of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right. | |

| (a) | Issuance. Restricted Stock may be issued either alone or in conjunction with other Awards.

If physical certificates are issued, they will be held in escrow by the Company or its designee during the Restriction Period. As a condition to any Award of Restricted Stock, the Participant may be required to deliver to the Company a share power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Shares covered by such Award. | |

Period”), the Participant will not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise encumber Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan. The Committee may condition the lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stock upon
one or more Vesting Conditions.
|
|
| (ii) |
While any Share of Restricted Stock remains subject to restriction, the Participant will have, with respect to the Restricted Stock, the right to vote the Share.
|
|
| (iii) |
Subject to the provisions of the applicable Award Agreement or as otherwise determined by the Committee, if the Participant’s service with the Company and its Affiliates terminates prior
to the expiration of the applicable Restriction Period, the Participant’s Restricted Stock that then remains subject to forfeiture will then be forfeited automatically.
|
SECTION 10. Other Stock-Based Awards. Subject to the other terms of the Plan, the Committee may grant Other Stock-Based Awards (including Awards to receive unrestricted Shares, or Awards that are payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to Shares) either alone or in conjunction with other Awards under the Plan. Subject to Applicable Law, Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted in lieu of other compensation to which the Participant is entitled from the Company.

The Committee may provide that such dividend equivalent rights will be paid or credited in cash or paid or credited in Shares (based on the Fair Market Value on the dividend payment date).

SECTION 16. Consequences of a Change in Control.
|
| (a) | Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Award Agreement or any applicable transaction documents, all outstanding Awards held by a Non-Employee Director shall be treated as follows upon a Change in Control: (x) all time-based Vesting Conditions shall be deemed fulfilled, and (y) performance-based Vesting Conditions shall be deemed fulfilled at the greater of the “target” performance level or the “actual” level of achievement through the Change in Control (or other reasonably proximate date selected by the Committee based on the availability of relevant data), as determined by the Committee in its discretion. | |

To the extent such Awards are assumed, converted or replaced by the resulting entity in the Change in Control, and within two years after the date of the Change in Control, the
Participant’s service is terminated by the Company (or the resulting entity in the Change in Control) without Cause, then (x) all time-based Vesting Conditions shall be deemed fulfilled, and (y) performance-based Vesting Conditions
shall be deemed fulfilled at the greater of the “target” performance level or the “actual” level of achievement through the Participant’s termination date (or other reasonably proximate date selected by the Committee based on the
availability of relevant data), as determined by the Committee in its discretion, subject to the execution of a general release of claims in a form prescribed by the Company (which release becomes irrevocable in accordance with its
terms).

shall be deemed fulfilled, and (y) performance-based Vesting Conditions shall be deemed fulfilled at the greater of the “target” performance level or the “actual” level of achievement through the Change in Control (or other reasonably
proximate date selected by the Committee based on the availability of relevant data), as determined by the Committee in its discretion.
|
|
Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 16, in the case of any Award subject to Section 409A of the
Code, the Committee shall only be permitted to take actions under this Section 16 to the extent that such actions would be consistent with the intended treatment of such Award under
Section 409A of the Code.
|
|
SECTION 17. Amendments and Termination. Subject to any stockholder approval that may be required under Applicable Law, the Board may amend or terminate the Plan at any time.
|
|
SECTION 18. Prohibition on Repricing Programs. Neither the Committee nor the Board shall, other than as permitted under Section 14, Section 15 or Section 16 herein, (i) implement any cancellation/re-grant program pursuant to which outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights are cancelled and new Options or Stock Appreciation
Rights are granted in replacement with a lower exercise or base price per share, (ii) cancel outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with exercise prices or base prices per share in excess of the then current Fair Market
Value for consideration payable in equity securities of the Company or cash, or (iii) otherwise directly reduce the exercise price or base price in effect for outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan without in
each such instance obtaining stockholder approval.
|
|
SECTION 19. Conditions
Upon Grant of Awards and Issuance of Shares.
|
| (a) | The implementation of the Plan, the grant of any Award and the issuance of Shares in connection with the issuance, exercise or vesting of any Award made under the Plan shall be subject to the Company’s procurement of all approvals and permits required by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Plan, the Awards made under the Plan and the Shares issuable pursuant to those Awards. | |
| (b) | No Shares or other assets shall be issued or delivered under the Plan unless and until there shall have been compliance with all applicable requirements of Applicable Law. | |
| (c) | If the Company cannot, by the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts, obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction over the issuance or sale of Shares under this Plan, and such authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance of those Shares, the Company will be relieved of any liability for failing to issue or sell those Shares. | |

| (a) | All Awards made under the Plan (whether vested or unvested), and any Shares associated therewith, are subject to rescission, cancellation or recoupment, in whole or in part, under any current or future “clawback” or similar policy of the Company that is applicable to the Participant. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Plan, any Award which is subject to recovery under any law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement, will be subject to such deductions and “clawback” as may be required to be made pursuant to such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement. | |
| (b) | All Awards, and any Shares associated therewith, shall also be subject to the Company’s stock ownership, securities trading, anti-hedging, anti-pledging and other similar policies, as in effect from time to time. | |
| (a) | The Committee may require each Participant to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that the Participant is acquiring securities of the Company for investment purposes and without a view to distribution thereof and as to such other matters as the Committee believes are appropriate. | |
| (b) | All Shares or other securities delivered under the Plan will be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Board may deem necessary to reflect the terms of the applicable Award or advisable to comply with the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any stock exchange upon which the Shares are then listed, and any other Applicable Law, and the Board may cause Shares or other securities to be legended to reflect those restrictions. | |
| (c) | Nothing contained in the Plan will prevent the Company from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required. Similarly, the grant of any Award will not in any way affect the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassification or changes in its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. | |
| (d) | Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the execution of any document in connection with the Plan will: (i) confer upon any employee or other service provider of the Company or an Affiliate any right to continued employment or engagement with the Company or such Affiliate, or (ii) interfere in any way with the right of the Company or such Affiliate to terminate the employment or engagement of any of its employees or other service providers at any time. | |

SECTION 24. Section 409A. All Awards are intended to be exempt from or comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) and should be interpreted accordingly. Nonetheless, the
Company does not guaranty any particular tax treatment for any Award. For any Award that is non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, the Committee may elect to liquidate such Award at any time in a manner
intended to comply with Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix) or any successor provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or an Award, if at the time of a Participant’s separation from service, such Participant is a
“specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A), then any amounts payable under the Plan on account of such separation from service that would (but for this provision) be payable within six (6) months following the date of
the separation from service shall instead be paid on the next business day following the expiration of such six (6) month period or, if earlier, upon the Participant’s death, to the extent compliance with the requirements of Treas.
Reg. § 1.409A‑3(i)(2) (or any successor provision) is necessary to avoid the application of an additional tax under Section 409A to such amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Committee shall have any
obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any excise tax or penalty on any Participant under Section 409A and neither the Company nor the Committee will have any liability to any Participant for such tax or penalty.

SECTION 25. Term
of Plan. The Plan shall terminate automatically on February 25, 2036, provided that it may be terminated on any earlier date as provided in Section 17.

SECTION 26. Invalid Provisions. In the event that any provision of this Plan is found to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable under any Applicable Law, such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed as rendering any other provisions contained
herein as invalid or unenforceable, and all such other provisions will be given full force and effect to the same extent as though the invalid or unenforceable provision was not contained herein.

SECTION 27. Governing Law. The Plan and all Awards granted hereunder will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws and judicial decisions of the State of Delaware, without regard to the application of the principles of conflicts of
laws.

notice to be given to the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Plan must be given in writing and addressed, if to the Company, to its principal executive office to the attention of its General Counsel (or such other Person as
the Company may designate in writing from time to time), and, if to the Participant, to the address contained in the Company’s personnel files, or at such other address as that Participant may hereafter designate in writing to the
Company. Any such notice will be deemed duly given: if delivered personally or via recognized overnight delivery service, on the date and at the time so delivered; if sent via telecopier or email, on the date and at the time
telecopied or emailed with confirmation of delivery; or, if mailed, five (5) days after the date of mailing by registered or certified mail.

102 AWARD GRANT DATE
|
|
Each 102 Award will be deemed granted on the date determined by the Committee, subject to the provisions of the Plan, provided that and subject to (i) the Israeli Participant has signed all documents required by the Company or
Applicable Law, and (ii) with respect to any Trustee 102 Award, the Company has provided all applicable documents to the Trustee in accordance with the guidelines published by the ITA such that if the guidelines are not met the Award

TRUSTEE
|
| 5.1 |
Trustee 102 Awards which shall be granted under this Sub-Plan and/or any Shares allocated or issued upon the grant, vesting or exercise of a Trustee 102 Award and/or other Shares received
following any realization of rights under the Plan, shall be allocated or issued to the Trustee or controlled by the Trustee, for the benefit of the Approved Israeli Participants, in accordance with the provisions of Section 102. In the
event the requirements for Trustee 102 Awards are not met, the Trustee 102 Awards may be regarded as Non-Trustee 102 Awards or as Awards which are not subject to Section 102, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 102.
|
|
| 5.2 |
With respect to any Trustee 102 Award, subject to the provisions of Section 102, an Approved Israeli Participant shall not sell or release from trust any Shares received upon the grant,
vesting or exercise of a Trustee 102 Award and/or any Shares received following any realization of rights, including, without limitation, stock dividends, under the Plan at least until the lapse of the period of time required under
Section 102 or any shorter period of time determined by the ITA (the “Holding Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such sale or release occurs during the Holding Period, the sanctions
under Section 102 shall apply to and shall be borne by such Approved Israeli Participant.
|
|
| 5.3 |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Trustee shall not release or sell any Shares allocated or issued upon the grant, vesting or exercise of a Trustee 102 Award unless the
Company, the Employer and the Trustee are satisfied that the full amounts of any Tax due have been paid or will be paid.
|
|
| 5.4 |
Upon receipt of any Trustee 102 Award, the Approved Israeli Participant will consent to the grant of such Award under Section 102 and undertake to comply with the terms of Section 102 and
the trust arrangement between the Company and the Trustee.
|
|
| 5.5 |
Any Award classified as a Capital Gain Award is meant to comply with the terms and conditions of Section 102 and the requirements of the ITA, therefore it is clarified that at all times
the Plan and this Sub-Plan are to be read such that they comply with the requirements of Section 102 and as a consequence, should any provision in the Plan or Sub-Plan disqualify the Plan and/or the Awards granted thereunder from
beneficial tax treatment pursuant to the provisions of Section 102 of the Ordinance, such provision shall be considered invalid either permanently or until the Israel Tax Authority provides approval of compliance with Section 102.

The Israeli Participant is familiar with, and understands the provisions of, Section 102 in general, and the tax arrangement under the Capital Gain Awards or Ordinary
Income Awards in particular, and its tax consequences; the Israeli Participant agrees that the Trustee 102 Awards and any Shares that may be issued upon vesting or (if applicable) exercise of the Trustee 102 Awards (or otherwise in

understands that any release of such Trustee 102 Awards or Shares from trust, or any sale of the Shares prior to the termination of the Holding Period, will result in taxation at the marginal tax rate, in addition to deductions of any
appropriate income tax, social security, health tax contributions or other compulsory payments; and

THE AWARDS
|
|
The terms and conditions upon which Awards shall be granted, issued and exercised or vested under this Sub-Plan, shall be specified in an Israeli Award Agreement to be executed pursuant to the
Plan and to this Sub-Plan. Each Israeli Award Agreement shall provide, inter alia, the number of Shares to which the Award relates, the type of Award granted thereunder (i.e., a Capital Gain Awards or Ordinary Income Awards or
Non-Trustee 102 Award or any Award granted to Unapproved Israeli Participant), and any applicable vesting provisions and exercise price that may be payable. For the avoidance of doubt, it is clarified that there is no obligation for
uniformity of treatment of Israeli Participants and that the terms and conditions of Awards granted to Israeli Participants need not be the same with respect to each Israeli Participant (whether or not such Israeli Participants are
similarly situated). The grant, vesting and exercise of Awards granted to Israeli Participants shall be subject to the terms and conditions and, with respect to exercise, the method, as may be determined by the Committee (including
the provisions of the Plan) and, when applicable, by the Trustee, in accordance with the requirements of Section 102.
|
|
8.
|
ASSIGNABILITY, DESIGNATION AND SALE OF AWARDS
|
| 8.1 |
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan, no Award subject to this Sub-Plan or any right with respect thereto, whether fully paid or not, shall be assignable, transferable or given as collateral, and no right with respect to any
such Award shall be given to any third party whatsoever, and during the lifetime of the Israeli Participant, each and all of such Israeli Participant’s rights with respect to an Award shall belong only to the Israeli Participant.
Any such action made, directly or indirectly, for an immediate or future validation, shall be void.
|
|
| 8.2 |
As long as Awards and/or Shares issued or purchased hereunder are held by the Trustee on behalf of the Israeli Participant, all rights of the Israeli Participant over the Award and Shares
cannot be transferred, assigned, pledged or mortgaged, other than by will or laws of descent and distribution.
|
|

|
INTEGRATION OF SECTION 102 AND TAX ASSESSING OFFICER'S APPROVAL
|
| 9.1 |
With regard to Trustee 102 Awards, the provisions of the Plan, the Sub-Plan and/or the Israeli Award Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of Section 102 and any approval issued by
the ITA and the said provisions shall be deemed an integral part of the Plan, the Sub-Plan and the Israeli Award Agreement.
|
|
| 9.2 |
Any provision of Section 102 and/or said approval issued by the ITA, which must be complied with in order to receive and/or to maintain any tax treatment with respect to an Award pursuant to Section 102, which is not expressly
specified in the Plan, the Sub-Plan or the Israeli Award Agreement, shall be considered binding upon the Company, any Employer and the Israeli Participants. Furthermore, if any provision of the Plan or Sub-Plan disqualifies Awards that
are intended to qualify as 102 Awards from the beneficial tax treatment pursuant to Section 102, such provision shall not apply to the 102 Awards.
|
|
| 9.3 |
The exercise of options which are Trustee 102 Awards by means of "net settlement" in accordance with Section 5(d) of the Plan shall be subject to the receipt of a tax ruling from the ITA
and executed in accordance with the terms of such ruling.

Applicable Laws, rules, and regulations, including withholding taxes at source. Furthermore, the Israeli Participant agrees to indemnify the Company and/or its Affiliates and/or the Trustee and hold them harmless against and

TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF APPLICABLE LAW. THE COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATES (INCLUDING THE EMPLOYER) DO NOT UNDERTAKE AND SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO TAKE ANY ACTION IN ORDER TO QUALIFY ANY AWARD WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF ANY PARTICULAR TAX
TREATMENT AND NO INDICATION IN ANY DOCUMENT TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY AWARD IS INTENDED TO QUALIFY FOR ANY TAX TREATMENT SHALL IMPLY SUCH AN UNDERTAKING. NO ASSURANCE IS MADE BY THE COMPANY AND ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES (INCLUDING THE EMPLOYER)
THAT ANY PARTICULAR TAX TREATMENT ON THE DATE OF GRANT WILL CONTINUE TO EXIST OR THAT THE AWARD WILL QUALIFY AT THE TIME OF VESTING, EXERCISE OR DISPOSITION THEREOF WITH ANY PARTICULAR TAX TREATMENT. THE COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATES
(INCLUDING THE EMPLOYER) SHALL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY OR OBLIGATION OF ANY NATURE IN THE EVENT THAT AN AWARD DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR ANY PARTICULAR TAX TREATMENT, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE COMPANY OR ITS AFFILIATES (INCLUDING THE EMPLOYER)
COULD HAVE TAKEN ANY ACTION TO CAUSE SUCH QUALIFICATION TO BE MET AND SUCH QUALIFICATION REMAINS AT ALL TIMES AND UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES AT THE RISK OF THE ISRAELI PARTICIPANT. THE COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATES (INCLUDING THE EMPLOYER) DO
NOT UNDERTAKE OR ASSUME ANY LIABILITY TO CONTEST A DETERMINATION OR INTERPRETATION (WHETHER WRITTEN OR UNWRITTEN) OF ANY TAX AUTHORITY, INCLUDING IN RESPECT OF THE QUALIFICATION UNDER ANY PARTICULAR TAX REGIME OR RULES APPLYING TO
PARTICULAR TAX TREATMENT. AWARDS THAT DO NOT QUALIFY UNDER ANY PARTICULAR TAX TREATMENT COULD RESULT IN ADVERSE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THE ISRAELI PARTICIPANT.

Introduction.
|
|
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (the “Company”) has established the Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. 2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan, (the “U.S. Plan”) for the
benefit of certain employees of the Company and its affiliated companies (each, an “Affiliate” as defined in the U.S. Plan), including its French affiliate(s) and branch(es) of its affiliate(s)
(each, a “French Entity”), of which the Company holds directly or indirectly at least 50% of the share capital.
|
|
|
Section 3(e) of the U.S. Plan specifically authorizes a committee designated by the Board (the “Committee”) to adopt such modifications, procedures and sub-plans as may be necessary or advisable under the laws of foreign countries in which the Company or its Subsidiaries may operate.
|
|
|
The Committee has determined that it is advisable to establish a sub-plan for the purpose of permitting restricted stock units granted to
employees or officers of a French Entity to qualify for the specific tax and social security treatment available for such grants in France. The Committee, therefore, intends to establish a sub-plan of the U.S. Plan for the purpose of
granting restricted stock units which qualify for the specific tax and social security treatment in France applicable to shares granted for no consideration under the Sections L. 225-197-1 to L. 225-197-5 and Sections L. 22-10-59 and L.
22-10-60 of the French Commercial Code, as amended (“French-Qualified Restricted Stock Units”), to (i) qualifying employees as defined in the U.S. Plan and (ii) officers of a
French Entity who are resident in France for French tax purposes and/or subject to the French social security regime, who are also eligible to receive grants under the U.S. Plan (together, the “French Participants”).
|
|
|
The terms of the U.S. Plan applicable to Restricted Stock Units, shall, subject to the modifications set forth in this French Sub-Plan for
Restricted Stock Units (the “French RSU Sub-Plan”), constitute the terms applicable for the grant of Restricted Stock Units to employees or officers in France.
|
|
|
Under the French RSU Sub-Plan, the French participants will be granted Restricted Stock Units only as defined in Section 2 hereunder. The
provisions of Section 5 of the U.S. Plan permitting the grant of stock options are not applicable to grants made under this French RSU Sub-Plan. The grant of Restricted Stock Units is authorized under Section 9 of the U.S. Plan, which
provides for the grant of stock awards.
|
|
2.
|
Definitions.
|
|
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the U.S. Plan. The terms set out below will have the
following meanings:
|
|
|
(a)
|
Closed Period.
|
|
The term “Closed Period” shall mean a closed period as set forth by Section L. 22-10-59 of the French Commercial Code, as amended, and further described in
Section 8 of this French RSU Sub-Plan.
|
||
| (b) | Disability. | |
|
The term “Disability” shall mean disability as determined in categories 2 and 3 under Section L. 341-4 of the French Social
Security Code, as amended, and subject to the fulfillment of related conditions.
|
||
| (c) | Grant Date. |
|
|
The term “Grant Date” shall be the date on which the Committee both
(1) designates the French Participants, and (2) specifies the terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Units, including the number of Shares to be issued at a future date, the conditions for the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units,
the conditions for the issuance of the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units by the Company, if any, and the conditions for the transferability of the Shares once issued, if any.

Plan to the contrary and except in the case of death, Restricted Stock Units cannot be transferred to any third party as set forth in Section 5.

Qualified Restricted Stock Units.

Subject to Section 3(c) below, any French Participant who, on the Grant Date of the Restricted Stock Units and to the extent required under French law, is either employed under the terms
and conditions of an employment contract with a French Entity (“contrat de travail”) or who serves as the Président du Conseil d’Administration, Directeur Général, Directeur Général Délégué, Membre du Directoire, or Gérant de Sociétés par
actions (i.e., president, general manager, deputed manager, member of the subsidiary board or manager of an equity partnership) of a French Entity, shall be eligible to receive, at the discretion of the Committee, Restricted Stock Units
under this French RSU Sub-Plan, provided that he or she also satisfies the eligibility conditions of Section 4 of the U.S. Plan.

| (b) |
Holding and Sale of Shares Issued Upon Conversion of French-Qualified Restricted Stock Units.
|
|
|
The Shares issued pursuant to the French-Qualified Restricted Stock Units may be subject to a minimum holding period, as calculated from the Vest Date, that may be provided for in the
Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, which may be required to comply with the minimum mandatory holding period applicable to French-Qualified Restricted Stock Units, if required under Section L. 225-197-1 of the French Commercial
Code, as amended, even if the French Participant is no longer an employee or serves as a Président du Conseil d’Administration, Directeur Général, Directeur Général Délégué, Membre du Directoire, or Gérant de Sociétés par actions (i.e.
president, general manager, deputed manager, member of the subsidiary board or manager of an equity partnership) of a French Entity. In addition, as set forth in Section 8 of this French RSU Sub-Plan, the Shares issued pursuant to
French-Qualified Restricted Stock Units may not be sold during certain Closed Periods as provided for by Section L. 22-10-59 of the French Commercial Code as amended, as long as such Closed Periods are applicable to the sale or transfer
of Shares subject to French-qualified Restricted Stock Units. Further, to the extent required under French law, the Committee may set a holding period for a specific percentage of the Shares underlying the French-Qualified Restricted
Stock Units for the French Participants who are a Président du Conseil d’Administration, Directeur Général, Directeur Général Délégué, Membre du Directoire, or Gérant de Sociétés par actions (i.e. president, general manager, deputed manager, member of the subsidiary board or manager of an equity partnership) or a similar
position of the Company, if they are granted in this capacity.
|
||
| (c) | French Participant's Account. |
|
|
To the extent required to benefit from the French specific tax and social security regime, the Shares issued to the French Participant pursuant to the French-Qualified
Restricted Stock Units shall be recorded in an account in the name of the French Participant with the Company, the transfer agent for the Company’s Shares or a broker or in such other manner as the Company may otherwise determine in order
to ensure compliance with applicable French law.
|
|
5.
|
Non-Transferability of Restricted Stock Units.
|
|
Restricted Stock Units may not be transferred to any third party, other than by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution. In addition, the
Restricted Stock Units will vest only to the benefit of the French Participants during the lifetime of the French Participants.
|
|
6.
|
Adjustments and Change in Control.
|
|
In the event of an adjustment in the shares of the Company as set forth in Section 14 of the U.S. Plan or in the event of a Corporate Transaction as set forth in Sections 15 and 16 of
the U.S. Plan, adjustments to the terms and conditions of the French-Qualified Restricted Stock Units or underlying Shares may be made only in accordance with the U.S. Plan and pursuant to applicable French legal, tax, and social
security Code Sections including as set forth in Section L. 225-197-1 of the French Commercial Code, or if authorized pursuant to French tax and social security guidelines applicable at the date of the adjustment. Nevertheless, the
Board or the Committee, at its discretion and subject to the U.S. Plan rules, may determine to make adjustments in the case of a transaction for which adjustments are not authorized under French law, in which case the Restricted Stock
Units may no longer qualify as French-Qualified Restricted Stock Units.
|
|
7.
|
Death and Disability.
|
|
Upon the Company’s receipt within six months following the death of a French Participant of a written request from such French Participant’s heirs in a form satisfactory to the
Company, the Company shall issue the shares underlying the French-Qualified Restricted Stock Units to the French Participant’s heirs. If a French Participant’s employment with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company terminates by
reason of his or her death or Disability (as defined herein), the French Participant or the French Participant’s heirs, as applicable, shall not be subject to the restriction on the transfer of shares, if applicable, set forth in
Section 4 (b).
|
|
8.
|
Closed Periods.

Disqualification of French-Qualified Restricted Stock Units.
|
|
If the Restricted Stock Units or the underlying shares are otherwise modified or adjusted in a manner in keeping with the terms of the U.S. Plan or as mandated as a matter of law and the modification
or adjustment is contrary to the terms and conditions of this French RSU Sub-Plan, the Restricted Stock Units may no longer qualify as French-Qualified Restricted Stock Units. If the Restricted Stock Units no longer qualify as
French-Qualified Restricted Stock Units, the Committee may, provided it is authorized to do so under the U.S. Plan, determine to lift, shorten or terminate certain restrictions applicable to the vesting of the Restricted Stock
Units or the sale of Shares which may have been imposed under this French RSU Sub-Plan or in the agreement representing the Restricted Stock Units. In the event that any Restricted Stock Units no longer qualify as
French-Qualified Restricted Stock Units, the holder of such Restricted Stock Units shall be ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes and/or social security contributions that he or she is legally required to pay in
connection with such Restricted Stock Units.
|
|
10.
|
Interpretation.
|
|
It is intended that Restricted Stock Units granted under this French RSU Sub-Plan shall qualify for the specific tax and social security treatment applicable to Restricted Stock Units granted under
Sections L. 225-197-1 to L. 225-197-5 and Sections L. 22-10-59 and L. 22-10-60 of the French Commercial Code, as amended, and in accordance with the relevant provisions set forth by French tax and social security laws. The
terms of this French RSU Sub-Plan shall be interpreted accordingly and in accordance with the relevant guidelines published by French tax and social security administrations and subject to the fulfillment of certain legal, tax
and reporting obligations, if applicable. However, certain corporate transactions may impact the qualification of the Restricted Stock Units and the underlying shares for the specific regime in France.
|
|
11.
|
Settlement of Restricted Stock Units.
|
|
Notwithstanding any provision of Sections 9 and 13(c) of the U.S. Plan, (a) no dividend equivalents or other payments will be made in respect of the Restricted Stock Units prior to the
vesting of the Restricted Stock Units and (b) the Restricted Stock Units will only be settled in Shares and will not be settled in cash.
|
|
12.
|
Employment Rights.
|
|
The adoption of this French RSU Sub-Plan shall not confer upon the French Participants, or any employees of a French Entity, any employment rights and shall not be construed
as part of any employment contracts that a French Entity has with its employees.
|
|
13.
|
Number of Shares Granted and Shareholder Authorization.
|
|
The U.S. Plan and the Share limitations contained in the U.S. Plan thereof have been authorized by the Company’s shareholders for grants to French Participants. Such
authorization is intended to meet the requirements of Sections L. 225-197-1 and L. 225-197-5 and L. 22‑10‑59 and L. 22‑10-60 of the French Commercial Code, as amended, to the extent applicable to awards granted by the
Company.
|
|
14.
|
Language.
|
|
If the U.S. Plan, this French RSU Sub-Plan or any other document related thereto or to any Award granted hereunder is translated into a language other than English and if
the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.
|
|
15.
|
Amendments.
|
|
Subject to the terms of the U.S. Plan, the Committee reserves the right to amend, suspend or terminate the French RSU Sub-Plan at any time, without any retroactive
effect.
|
|
16.
