Item 7.01 - Regulation FD Disclosure

On December 31, 2014, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. ("Vishay") acquired all of the remaining outstanding shares of Taiwan-based Capella Microsystems (Taiwan), Inc. (GreTai Securities Market: 3582) ("Capella")  pursuant to the terms of its previously announced merger agreement with Capella.  Capella is a fabless IC design company specializing in optoelectronic products.

Vishay initially acquired 88.95% of Capella's outstanding shares in a tender offer, which was completed in September 2014. 
 
Capella has been included in Vishay's consolidated financial statements since the acquisition of its 88.95% interest, with the net earnings attributable to the 11.05% non-controlling interest excluded from net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders.  The completion of the merger will result in 100% of Capella's results being included in net earnings attributable to Vishay stockholders subsequent to December 31, 2014.
