What proposals will I be voting on and how does the Board of Directors recommend I vote?
The Board’s recommendations are set forth together with the description of each proposal in this proxy statement. In summary, the Board recommends a vote:
Does VPG have more than one class of stock outstanding?
We have two classes of stock outstanding, common stock and Class B common stock. On the record date, there were _______12,576,178 shares of common stock and _______1,022,887 shares of Class B common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.
What are the voting rights of each class of stock?
Each share of common stock will be entitled to one vote and each share of Class B common stock will be entitled to 10 votes with respect to each matter to be voted on at the annual meeting.
A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting will be available for examination by VPG’s stockholders during ordinary business hours for a period of ten days prior to the annual meeting at our headquarters, 3 Great Valley Parkway, Suite 150, Malvern, Pennsylvania 19355. A stockholder list will also be available for examination at the annual meeting.
What constitutes a quorum?
A quorum is the minimum number of votes required to be present at the annual meeting to conduct business. As set forth in VPG’s by-laws, the holders of a majority of the votes represented by the outstanding shares of common stock and Class B common stock, voting together as a single class, present in personvirtually, or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the annual meeting.

What vote is required to approve each proposal?
OnExcept with respect to Proposal Five, which is discussed in more detail below, on each matter to be voted on at the 20112023 Annual Meeting, the holders of common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class. Assuming a quorum is present, the vote required and method of calculation for the proposals to be considered at the annual meeting are as follows:
-2-Five, we will nonetheless require the following three affirmative votes of: (i) the holders of shares of common stock and Class B common stock entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all outstanding shares of common stock and Class B common stock, voting together as a single class; (ii) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock, voting as a separate class; and (iii) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock, voting as a separate class.
Other Matters. Aside from the five proposals above, we are not aware of any other matter to be presented at the 2023 Annual Meeting.


How are abstentions, and broker non-votes and withholding of authority considered?
Shares represented by proxies that are properly marked “abstain” will be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at the 20112023 Annual Meeting.

Abstentions will have no effect on the election of directors under Proposal One or on the vote under Proposal Two, Proposal Three or Proposal Four. Abstentions will be counted as votes under Proposals Two, Four andagainst Proposal Five.
Brokers holding shares for beneficial owners in street name must vote those shares according to specific instructions they receive from the beneficial owners.

2023 Annual Meeting.
A broker “non-vote” occurs when a broker holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.

Because Proposal Five will be determined by a majority in three separate votes of the proposals except Proposal Three. With respectCompany’s outstanding shares entitled to Proposal Three, broker non-votes will be treated like abstentions, andvote, broker-non-votes will have the same effect of votes against Proposal Five.

All of our eight directors attended the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders. It is the policy of the Board that directors are expected to attend the 20112023 Annual Meeting and all future annual meetings of stockholders.
What is the role of the Board’s Committees?
Immediately following the spin-off, the Board established a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee an Audit Committee, and a Compensation Committee, each of which is described herein.

A copy of the Committee’s charter is available to stockholders on our website and in print upon request. The Audit Committee consists of three non-management directors, each of whom satisfies the independence requirements of the rules of the SEC and the governance listing requirements of the NYSE. All of the members of the Committee also satisfy the financial literacy requirements of the NYSE and the Board has determined that Mr. Reibstein, the chairmanchair of the Committee, qualifies as an audit committee financial expert under the rules of the SEC.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
The Board believes that it is important to retain the flexibility to combine or separate the responsibilities of the offices of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer,CEO, as may be in the best interests of the Company from time to time. The Board separated the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer when the Company was spun off from Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.
The longsignificant experience of Mr. Marc Zandman,Reibstein, our Chairman, with the Company’s business (as a subsidiary of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. prior to the spin-off)Company and its Board, including his service as chair of the Audit Committee, uniquely qualifies him to serve as the Board’s non-Executive Chairman as VPG develops as an independent public company.non-executive Chairman. At the same time, the active membership of our CEO, Mr. Ziv Shoshani, our Chief Executive Officer, on the Board assures our Board of the benefit of his comprehensive knowledge of the Company’s business, day-to-day operations, industry and competitive challenges.

To permit the Board and its committeesCommittees to perform their respective risk oversight roles, individual members of management who supervise the Company’s risk management report directly to the Board or the relevant committee of the Board responsible for overseeing the management of specific risks, as applicable. For this purpose, management has a high degree of access and communication with the Board and its committees.
Committees.
The Board believes that open and constructive communication between management and the Board is essential for effective risk management and oversight. Members of the Company’s senior management regularly attend Board and committee meetings and are available to address any questions or concerns raised on matters related to risk management.

How does the Board select nominees for the Board?
In selecting candidates for nomination at the annual meeting of our stockholders, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee begins by determining whether the incumbent directors whose terms expire at the meeting desire, and are qualified, to continue their service on the Board. We are of the view that the repeated service of qualified incumbents promotes stability and continuity in the boardroom, giving us the benefit of the familiarity and insight into our affairs that our directors have accumulated during their tenure and contributing to the Board’s ability to work as a collective body. Accordingly, it is the policy of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, absent special circumstances, to nominate qualified incumbent directors who continue to satisfy the Committee’s criteria for membership on the Board; who the Committee believes will continue to make important contributions to the Board; and who consent to stand for re-election and, if re-elected, to continue their service on the Board. If there are Board positions for which the Committee will not be re-nominating a qualified incumbent, the Committee will solicit recommendations for nominees from persons who the Committee believes are likely to be familiar with qualified candidates, including members of the Board and senior management.
-7-


The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also engage a search firm to assist in identifying qualified candidates. If such a search firm is engaged, the Committee sets the fees and scope of engagement. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review and evaluate each candidate who it believes merits serious consideration, taking into account all available information concerning the candidate, the qualifications for Board membership established by the Committee, the existing composition and mix of talent and expertise on the Board and other factors that it deems relevant. In conducting its review and evaluation, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may solicit the views of management and other members of the Board and may, if deemed helpful, conduct interviews of proposed candidates. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate candidates recommended by stockholders in the same manner as candidates recommended by other persons, except that the Committee may consider, as one of the factors in its evaluation of stockholder-recommended candidates, the size and duration of the interest of the recommending stockholder or stockholder group in the equity of VPG and whether the stockholders intend to continue holding that interest through the annual meeting date.
What qualifications must a director have?
Under a policy formulated by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, we generally require that all candidates for director:

A limited exception to some of these requirements, other than the requirements of integrity and ethics and the absence of material conflict, may be made for a holder of substantial voting power. Directors may not stand for re-election after the age of 75 unless the Board makes an affirmative determination that, because of the importance and value of the continued service of a director, the retirement policy should be waived, except that no director may stand for re-election after age 85. This policy does not apply to any person who controls more than 20% of the voting power of the Company. Mr. Talbert has reached age 75, and the Board has made an affirmative determination to waive the retirement policy with respect to Mr. Talbert for his nomination for re-election at the 2023 Annual Meeting. Mr. Reibstein will reach age 75 prior to the 2023 Annual Meeting, and the Board has made an affirmative determination to waive the retirement policy with respect to Mr. Reibstein for his nomination for re-election at the 2023 Annual Meeting. We also require that a majority of directors be independent; at least three of the directors have the financial literacy necessary for service on the audit committee and at least one of these directors qualifies as an audit committee financial expert; at least some of the independent directors have served as senior executives of public or substantial private companies; and at least some of the independent directors have general familiarity with the major industries in which we operate. Additionally, while the Company does not have a formal policy with respect to the consideration of diversity in identifying director candidates, the benefits of board

diversity are considered in the nominations process, including diversity of background and experience. A copy of the Company’s Policy Regarding Qualifications of Directors is available to stockholders on our website.

Yes. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider recommendations for director nominations submitted by stockholders entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. Submissions must be made in accordance with the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s procedures, as outlined herein and set forth in materials posted on our website. For each annual meeting of our stockholders, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will accept for consideration only one recommendation per stockholder or affiliated group of stockholders. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will only consider candidates who satisfy our minimum qualifications for director, as summarized in this proxy statement and as set forth in materials posted on our website. Stockholders should be aware, as discussed herein, that it is our general policy to re-nominate qualified incumbent directors and that, absent special circumstances, the Committee will not considernominate other candidates when a qualified incumbent director consents to stand for re-election.

Submissions must be made by mail, courier, or personal delivery. E-mailed submissions will not be considered. Submissions recommending candidates for election at an annual meeting of stockholders must generally be received no later than 120 calendar days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the proxy statement for the prior annual meeting of stockholders. However, in the event that the date of an annual meeting of stockholders is more than 30 days following the first anniversary date of the annual meeting of stockholders for the prior year, the submission must be made a reasonable time in advance of the mailing of our proxy statement for the current year. Each nominating recommendation must be accompanied by the information called for by our “Procedures for Securityholders’ Submission of Nominating Recommendations,” which is available upon request. This includes specified information concerning the stockholder or group of stockholders making the recommendation and the proposed nominee, any relationships between the recommending stockholder or stockholders and the proposed nominee and the qualifications of the proposed nominee to serve as director. The recommendation must also be accompanied by the consent of the proposed nominee to serve if nominated and elected and the agreement of the nominee to be contacted by the Committee, if the Committee decides in its discretion to do so.
In addition to being entitled to make a recommendation that the Committee nominate a candidate for election as a director, stockholders are also entitled to nominate candidates themselves for election to the Board at a meeting of stockholders, by providing the necessary information by the applicable deadlines. See the discussion under the heading “Stockholder Proposals and Nominations for the 2024 Annual Meeting” below.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
 
Management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, for assessing the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, and for preparing our combined and consolidated financial statements. Our independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for, among other things, performing an independent audit of our combined and consolidated financial statements in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and issuing a report thereon. It is the responsibility of the Audit Committee to monitor and oversee these processes.
In fulfilling its oversight duties, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management and our independent registered public accounting firm Ernstfor the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, Brightman Almagor Zohar & Young LLP,Co., a firm in the Deloitte global network ("Brightman Almagor Zohar & Co."), (a) the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20102022, (b) the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, and discussed with(c) the independent auditorsother matters required to be discussed under Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communications with Audit Committees, as amended and as adopted bythe applicable requirements of the PCAOB in AU Section 380.and the SEC.

The Audit Committee received from the independent auditors written disclosures regarding the auditor’s independence required by PCAOB Ethics and Independence Rule 3526, Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence, and has discussed with the independent auditors, the independent auditor’s independence. The Audit Committee also considered the compatibility of non-audit services provided to VPG by ErnstBrightman Almagor Zohar & Young LLP,Co., the member firms of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited and their related entities, and the fees and costs billed or to be billed for these services, with the maintenance of the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. The Committee has concluded that the provision of the non-audit services by ErnstBrightman Almagor Zohar & Young LLPCo., the member firms of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited and their related entities in 20102022 did not impair the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. Under the Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy that wasas adopted by the Audit Committee, in July 2010, the Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided to VPG by the independent registered public accounting firm.

Officers serve, at the discretion of the Board, until the meeting of the Board next following each annual meeting of stockholders, subject to their rights under any contracts of employment described under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Overview
Until July 6, 2010, when we were spun off as an independent public company, we were a subsidiary of Vishay Intertechnology. Prior to the spin-off, the compensation and strategic affairs committees of Vishay Intertechnology’s board of directors (the “VSH committees”) developed our compensation framework, which is influenced by historical practices at Vishay Intertechnology as well as by recommendations from compensation consultants retained by the VSH committees in anticipation of the spin-off. Please see the discussion under the heading “Role of the Compensation Consultant” herein.
Since July 6, 2010, the Compensation Committee, in consultation with our Board, has been responsible for reviewing and recommending to the Board employment agreements with our executive officers; reviewing and approving annual corporate goals and objectives for our executive officers; determining annual base salaries, performance bonuses and long-term incentive awards for our executive officers; and administering our equity-based plans.
Compensation Philosophy Generallyand Objectives
In formulating the compensation arrangements for our executive officers, the VSH committeeswere guided generally by the executive compensation philosophy adopted by the Vishay Intertechnology compensation committee. The VSH committees believed that VPG’s compensation packages should combine base salary with an opportunity for annual cash bonuses and include long-term equity awards designed to align the interests of senior management with the long-term interests of our stockholders. In developing the compensation of our executive officers, however, the VSH committees also took into account the fact that following the spin-off, we would be a substantially smaller company than our former parent. In the case of Mr. Shoshani, the VSH committees took into special consideration the opportunities that Mr. Shoshani chose to forego at Vishay Intertechnology in order to lead VPG, his demonstrated ability to run our Company and serve as our chief executive officer, and the incentives necessary to retain Mr. Shoshani going forward.
-17-


Our Compensation Committee, which was formed immediately after the spin-off, reviewed the VSH committees’ executive compensation determinations. The Compensation Committee, with the approval of our full Board, implemented the executive compensation arrangements approved by the VSH committees by entering into formal employment agreements with each of our executive officers. See the discussion under the headings “Compensation Components” and “Employment Agreements” for a description of the terms of the employment agreements.
Our executive compensation packages, including severance benefits, areprogram is designed to assist us in recruiting, retaining and motivating key employees who can function effectively both in periods of recessionour NEOs and economic strength, and provideproviding our executivesNEOs with an appropriate level of job security,compensation, commensurate with their contributions to the Company and their tenure.Company. The Compensation Committee believes that the elements of our executive compensation program, as well as the mix of these elements in relation to total compensation, reward intrinsically sound management decisions and do not encourage undue risk taking to enhance short-term profitability at the expense of the long-term financial health and viability of the enterprise. EachCompany. The Compensation Committee seeks to mitigate any compensation-related risk by:
providing a meaningful portion of total compensation in the form of equity incentives that are earned over multiple years (to encourage a long-term focus); and
capping annual cash bonuses for our NEOs at 200% of base salary for Mr. Shoshani, at 105% of base salary for Mr. Clancy, and at 75% for Mr. Tal (to provide appropriate balance between short- and long-term objectives).
Please see the discussion below under the headings “Performance Bonus” and “Equity Compensation” for further detail regarding performance bonus and long-term equity incentive targets.
Considerations for Setting 2022 Compensation
The Compensation Committee considered a number factors when setting each NEO’s compensation, including competitive market data derived from our peer group, individual and Company performance, and the NEO’s role and responsibilities. The Compensation Committee reviewed competitive market data that was derived from our 2022 compensation peer group, which is composed of the following companies
Badger Meter, Inc.Mercury Systems, Inc.
CSW Industrials, Inc.ONTO Innovation Inc.
CTS Corp.Hurco Companies, Inc.
Daktronics Inc.Luna Innovations, Inc.
Faro Technologies Inc.Amtech Systems, Inc.
ESCO Technologies Inc.nFlight, Inc.

The Compensation Committee did not align NEOs’ compensation to a particular benchmark level but considered pay data as one point of reference when setting NEO compensation.
Role of the Compensation Consultant
As permitted under its charter, the Compensation Committee retained Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC (“Meridian”) as its independent compensation consultant for 2022. In particular, Meridian advised the Compensation Committee on our 2020 compensation peer group and provided the Compensation Committee an assessment of the compensation of our Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer against peer group practices.
21




The Compensation Committee determined that the work performed by Meridian did not give rise to a conflict of interest and that Meridian was independent of management. In making this determination, the Compensation Committee considered the factors outlined in the NYSE listing standardsrelating to compensation consultant independence, including whether the compensation consultant has provided other services to the Company, the magnitude of the projected fees payable to the compensation consultant in the context of the compensation consultant's total revenues, the absence of personal or business relationships between members of the Compensation Committee or the Company’s executive officer’s targetofficers and the compensation consultant, and whether any member of the compensation consultant’s team owns, or otherwise has an investment or interest in, the Company’s common stock.
Compensation Components
The following are the primary components of our executive compensation program:
Base salary;
Annual performance bonus (payable in cash); and
Annual long-term equity incentive compensation is equal(payable in RSUs).
In addition to his target short-term performance bonus, with the exceptionforegoing, our NEOs are eligible to receive severance, certain perquisites and customary welfare and retirement benefits. Each of the primary components of our CEO, whose target long-term equity incentiveexecutive compensation exceeds his target performance bonus. Theprogram, and the methodology used to determine the amounts, and mix, of such compensation, are discussed below.
Base Salaries
Minimum base salaries for our NEOs are established in their respective employment agreements, the material terms of which are summarized below under the heading “Employment Agreements.” Each year, the Compensation Committee believesreviews the appropriateness of each NEO’s base salary. In determining whether to increase base salary of an NEO, the Compensation Committee considers the following factors: competitive market data derived from our peer group, individual and Company performance, and the NEO’s role and responsibilities. We believe that this mixsetting our NEOs' base salaries based on the foregoing factors helps us to retain our NEOs, while appropriately motivating them to fulfill their core responsibilities and duties.
Variations in base salary among our NEOs reflect the differences in their respective positions, duties and responsibilities.
Effective January 1, 2022, the annual base salaries for our NEOs were as follows:

Adjusted operating margin and adjusted EBITDA mean, respectively, operating margin and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, in each case determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP accounting principles generally accepted in the United Statesand adjusted to exclude various items that management believes are not indicative of the intrinsic operating performanceoutside of our business,core operations, including purchase accounting inventory adjustments, COVID-19 impacts, start-up costs, restructuring and related severance costs, fixed asset or inventory write-downs and related purchase commitment charges, impairment charges for goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets,foreign exchange gains and individually material one-time gains or charges.
In 2011 and going forward, the performance bonuses and long-term equity incentive awards for Messrs. Shoshani and Clancy will continue to be based onlosses. The Board determined that adjusted operating margin and adjusted EBITDA for 2022 should exclude the impact of $1.6 million for purchase accounting adjustments, $0.2 million for start-up costs, $1.5 million in accordancerestructuring costs, and $0.1 million impact of government subsidies, net with costs incurred by the termsCompany as a result of their respective employment agreements. Pursuant to Mr. Kieffer’s employment agreement, his performance bonuses and long-term equity incentive awards will be based on adjusted operating margin andthe COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, adjusted EBITDA as well as certain individualexcludes the impact of $(3.6) million of foreign currency exchange rates on assets and financialliabilities.
These performance goals approved by the Compensation Committee and relating to operations for which he is responsible.
The Compensation Committee, in consultation with the Chairman of the Board, undertakes an annual review of the executive compensation program to ensure that it continues to encourage and reward satisfaction of our operational and financial objectives. The Compensation Committee also consults with our Chief Executive Officer regarding compensation of our other executive officers.
Role of the Compensation Consultant
To assist in formulating the initial compensation arrangements of our executive officers in connection with the spin-off, the VSH committees retained the services of two compensation consulting firms, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) and Farient Advisors LLC (“Farient”). In the course of their engagement, these compensation consultants also met with Mr. Shoshani and members of the management of Vishay Intertechnology to obtain their input and views. In 2009 and early 2010, the consultants assisted the VSH committees in the formulation of the compensation arrangements for our executive officers, particularly for Mr. Shoshani. They assessed the reasonableness and interrelation of the individual elements of the compensation packages and provided input to the VSH committees with respect to then current compensation practices among comparable public companies and in comparable transactions. PwC had been previously engaged by the Vishay Intertechnology compensation committee to assist it in executive compensation matters. Farient was recommended to the VSH committees by management of Vishay Intertechnology.
Our Compensation Committee reviewed the executive compensation determinations of the VSH committees and ratified the executive compensation framework developed by them. The Compensation Committee continues to review our executive compensation packages and expects to engage independent compensation consultants as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate.
Compensation Components
The primary components of the compensation packages for our executive officers, as prescribed by their employment agreements, are:
-18-


In addition to the foregoing, our executive officers are eligible to receive severance and customary welfare and retirement benefits. Each of the primary components of executive compensation, and the methodology used to determine the amounts and mix of such compensation, are discussed herein.
Base Salaries
The base salaries of our executive officers were determined based on an analysis of executive compensation at comparable public companies identified by the compensation consultants identified herein. We believe that setting our executive officers’ base salaries within a market-competitive range of base salaries offered to similarly situated executives of comparable public companies will help us to retain our executive officers, while appropriately motivating them to fulfill their core responsibilities within VPG. Based on input from the compensation consultants in 2009 and early 2010, the market-competitive ranges were determined by the VSH committees as the 25th and 75th percentiles of compensation data for such comparable companies. These ranges were: $367,000 to $463,000 for the chief executive officer; $216,000 to $259,000 for the chief financial officer; and $192,000 to $307,000 for the chief technology officer. The variations in base salary of each of our executive officers reflect the differences in their respective positions, duties and responsibilities.
The base salaries approved for our executive officers for 2010 are as follows:
      2010 Base
Name  Salary (1)
Ziv Shoshani    
       President and Chief Executive Officer $      435,000 (2)

Thomas P. Kieffer    
       Senior Vice President and Chief Technical Officer  225,000 
____________________

(1)      2010 Base Salaries for our executive officers became effective on July 6, 2010 (the date that we completed our spin-off from Vishay Intertechnology).
(2)Pursuant to Mr. Shoshani’s employment agreement, his base salary is paid in New Israeli Shekels (NIS) based on a fixed exchange rate determined in accordance with his employment agreement.
On March 15, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved the following base salaries for our executive officers, effective January 1, 2011: $478,500 (Mr. Shoshani); $262,500 (Mr. Clancy); and $230,625 (Mr. Kieffer).
Performance Bonus
Annual performance bonuses are designed to incent our executive officers to achieve certain predetermined objectives set by the Compensation Committee and Board. Similar to base salary, the VSH committees believed that it would be appropriate and desirable to establish target performance bonuses within a market-competitive range of bonuses granted to similarly situated executives at comparable public companies. We believe that setting target performance bonuses in this fashion is necessary to attract and retain executive officers, as well as to appropriately motivate them to make meaningful contributions to our business.
The performance bonuses for our executive officers for 2010 were based on achievement of two corporate objectives, consisting of our adjusted operating margin and our adjusted EBITDA. The target levels of adjusted operating margin and EBITDA for 2010 were set at $18 million and $28 million, respectively, and one-half of the bonus potential for each executive officer is attributable to the achievement of each of these performance objectives. These targets were intended to represent challenging, but reasonable, goals, the achievement of which will contribute meaningfully to long-term stockholder value creation as well as the short-term success of our business.
Each executive was eligible to receive a performance bonus, for each 2010 performance objective, if our performance with respect to that objective equaled at leastIf less than 80% of the targeted amount.target for a performance goal were attained, the NEOs would not receive any portion of their performance bonus tied to such performance goal. The table hereinbelow sets forth the payments that each executive officer wasof Messrs. Shoshani, Clancy, and Tal would have been eligible to receive (expressed as a percentage of his base salary) pursuant to our annual performance bonus plan and his respective employment agreement with respect to each 20102022 performance objective, based upon various levels of actual performance.

*All performance bonus payments set forth in this table are expressed as a percentage of the applicable executive officer’s base salary and represent the potential payments to our executive officers with respect to each performance objective. In 2010, there were two performance objectives for our executive officers: adjusted operating margin and adjusted EBITDA.
The aggregate target performance bonuses for each of Messrs. Shoshani, Clancy, and Kieffer,Tal, pursuant to their respective employment agreements and taking into account both 2010all 2022 performance objectives, were 75%100%, 40%65%, and 30%50% of their respective base salaries. The maximum 20102022 performance bonuses payable to Messrs. Shoshani, Clancy, and KiefferTal were 200%, 80%105%, and 60%75% of their respective base salaries. We believe that the target and maximum performance bonus levels and the corresponding payouts are such that they do not encourage excessive risk-taking and represent appropriate compensation in light of each executive officer’s responsibilities.

The Board and the Compensation Committee determined that in 2010, our 2022 adjusted operating marginEBITDA was $19.8$62.0 million (or 110.17%94.5% of the target) and our 2022 adjusted EBITDAoperating margin was $29.5$47.2 million (or 105.27%97.2% of the target). In March 2011,Accordingly, for the executive officersadjusted EBITDA target, Messrs. Shoshani Clancy and Tal each received a cash bonus equal to 43.1%, 29.5%, and 21.8% of their respective base salaries. For the adjusted operating margin target, Messrs. Shoshani, Clancy, and Tal each received a cash bonus equal to 46.5%, 31.0% and 23.4% of their respective base salaries.
The total of these performance bonuses with respect to 2010 performance that arefor Messrs. Shoshani, Clancy and Tal is reflected under the “Non-Equity Incentive Compensation Plan” column of the Summary Compensation Table herein.

Equity Compensation
Our executive compensation frameworkprogram uses the grant of long-term equity awards as the primary tool for aligning the interests of our executive officersNEOs with the long-term interests of our stockholders. In establishingThe NEOs’ employment agreements established the following target and maximum valuesvalue of long-termtheir respective annual equity grants.

On or about January 1 of each year, each NEO receives equity awards ("Annual Equity Grant"), with an aggregate value equal to the VSH committees used as a reference pointfollowing percentages of their base salary: 175% (with respect to Mr. Shoshani), 75% (with respect to Mr. Clancy), and 40% (with respect to Mr. Tal). The Annual Equity Grant, which is in the market-competitive rangeform of long-term equity awards granted to similarly situated executive officers of comparable public companies. The long-term equity award targets for our executive officers were established to compensate each of them at the appropriate market-competitive median level according to their respective positions, duties and responsibilities, as well as to recognize their individual ability to affect stockholder value creation.

*      The long-term equity incentive awards set forth in this table are expressed as a percentage of the applicable executive officer’s base salary and represent the potential awards to our executive officers with respect to each performance objective. In 2010, there were two performance objectives for our executive officers: adjusted operating margin and adjusted EBITDA.
Pursuant to each employment agreement, 25%performance-based RSUs ("PBRSUs") which vest on January 1 of the third year following the date of grant, but only to the extent that performance criteria have been achieved and provided the executive remains continuously employed by us through such date. The performance criteria are determined by the Compensation Committee and are based on metrics set forth in the 2022 Stock Incentive Plan.

Vesting of the PBRSUs is subject to the achievement over the three-year performance period ending on December 31, 2024 of two equally weighted corporate objectives: cumulative Adjusted Net Earnings and cumulative Adjusted Free Cash.
“Adjusted Net Earnings” means the Company’s net profits after taxes, including the impact of acquisitions, if any, adjusted for reconciling items as set forth in the associated years' annual reports to stockholders. “Adjusted Free Cash” means the amount of cash generated from the Company’s operations in excess of capital expenditures and net of proceeds from the sale of assets, including the impact of acquisitions, if any.
The maximum aggregatetarget levels of Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Free Cash over that three-year period from 2022-2024 were set at $118,292,000 and $77,663,000, respectively. The Company's achieved performance against each of these performance goals determines the vesting for fifty percent (50%) of the total number of PBRSUs granted to each

NEO. These targets are intended to represent challenging, but reasonable, goals, the achievement of which will contribute meaningfully to long-term equity incentive awards payablestockholder value creation as well as the long-term success of our business.
Each executive who received a 2022 Annual Equity Grant is eligible to Messrs. Shoshani, Clancyvest in a portion of the PBRSUs included within the 2022 Annual Equity Grant to the extent that our performance with respect to one or both of the objectives equals at least 80% of the targeted amount. If the 80% threshold target for a performance goal is not attained, the executive would not receive any portion of the PBRSUs attributable to such target and Kieffer,that portion of the grant would be forfeited. The table above sets forth the vesting of the PBRSUs that each executive officer would be eligible to receive (expressed as a number of shares) pursuant to theirhis respective employment agreements, are equalagreement with respect to each 2022 performance objective, based upon various levels of actual performance.
The Annual Equity Grants awarded to each of the target amounts of such awards: 100%, 40% and 30% of their respective base salaries. In March 2011, the Compensation Committee and the Board approved grants to the executive officersNEOs in accordance with the target (and maximum) awards provided for in the executive officers’ respective employment agreements. These awards2022 are included in the “Stock Awards” column in the Summary Compensation Table herein.
In January 2020, Mr. Shoshani, Mr. Clancy and Mr. Tal were granted PBRSUs that were subject to vesting based on two performance conditions - Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Free Cash - measured over a three-year period ended December 31, 2022. The Compensation Committee determined, after reviewing the Company’s performance during this measurement period, that the Company had achieved 88.3% of the target for Free Cash and 108.7% of the target for Adjusted Net Earnings. Accordingly, for the PBRSUs granted to our NEOs in January 2020, 88.3% of the PBRSUs for the Free Cash target vested and 100% of the PBRSUs for the Adjusted Net Earnings target vested.
Employment Agreements
The Company entered into employment agreements in 2011, which have been subsequently amended, with Messrs. Shoshani Clancy, and Kieffer that are consistent withClancy. In March 2020, the terms set forth in offer lettersCompany entered into by the Company and eachan employment agreement with Mr. Tal. Each of the executives (as disclosed in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10 and approved by the VSH committees). The employment agreements provideprovides for the specific targets and payment opportunities, as expressed as a percentage of the applicable employee’s respective base salary, in connection with each element of our executive compensation package discussed hereinabove under the heading “Compensation Components.headings “Annual Performance Cash Bonus” and “Equity Compensation.
Each employment agreement became effective on July 6, 2010Upon expiration of the current applicable term, Messrs. Shoshani's, Clancy's, and has an initial term of three years. TheTal's employment agreements automatically renew for terms of one additional year unless earlier terminated by the Company or by the executive officer. Each of the employment agreements provides for certain severance payments to the executive officers in the event of termination of their employment as described in greater detail under the heading “Potential Payments Upon a Termination or Change in Control.”
The employment agreements also contain customary non-solicitation and non-competition covenants, which remain in effect for 24 months following termination of employment with respect to Mr. Shoshani and for 12 months following termination of employment with respect to Messrs. Clancy and Kieffer.Tal. The agreements also entitle the executives to additional perquisites and other personal benefits as the Board, through its Compensation Committee, determine are reasonable and consistent with the Company’s overall compensation program.

Special Spin-Off Payments and Awards
In connection with the spin-off, each of our executive officers received a “founder’s equity grant” in the form of RSUs with an aggregate value of $800,000 (with respect to Mr. Shoshani) or $100,000 (with respect to each of Messrs. Clancy and Kieffer). The number of RSUs granted in connection with each founder’s equity grant was calculated, in accordance with the term sheets entered into with each executive officer, by dividing the aggregate value of the award by the average closing price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange during the 10 consecutive trading days immediately following the spin-off from Vishay Intertechnology. Messrs. Clancy and Kieffer’s awards were approved by the Board and granted shortly after the spin-off. Mr. Shoshani’s grant, the terms of which are included in his employment agreement, was deferred to accommodate resolution of certain Israeli tax matters, including receipt of a ruling from the Israeli tax authorities relating to the income tax treatment of Mr. Shoshani’s equity compensation. These founder’s equity grants are shown under the caption “Stock Awards” in the Summary Compensation Table herein.
In addition to the founder’s equity grant, and pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Shoshani received a cash bonus of $400,000 in connection with completion of the spin-off. Pursuant to the Employee Matters Agreement discussed under the heading “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions,” Mr. Shoshani was also awarded stock options and RSUs under the Company’s 2010 Stock Incentive Program which replace certain stock options and RSUs issued to him by Vishay Intertechnology that were cancelled in connection with the spin-off. These replacement options and RSUs were issued to Mr. Shoshani in March 2011, after the resolution of certain Israeli tax matters.
Deferred Compensation and Pension Plans
Vishay Intertechnology maintained, among other benefit plans, a non-qualified defined benefit plan (the “Vishay Non-Qualified Retirement Plan”); a qualified defined contribution plan (the “Vishay Employee Savings Plus Plan”); and a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the “Vishay Key Employee Wealth Accumulation Plan” or “VSH KEWAP”), for highly compensated employees, including executive officers. In anticipation of the spin-off, we formed parallel plans that provide for substantially similar benefits. In connection with the spin-off, Vishay Intertechnology caused the accounts and underlying assets and liabilities under the Vishay Intertechnology plans for our employees who were participating in those plans to be transferred to our corresponding plans or, in the case of Vishay Non-Qualified Retirement Plan and VSH KEWAP assets, from a rabbi trust established by Vishay Intertechnology to a rabbi trust that we established. In addition, prior to the spin-off, Vishay Intertechnology, through a subsidiary, maintained the Measurements Group Inc. Tax Deferred Savings Plan (a qualified defined contribution plan) that was transferred in its entirety to us in connection with the spin-off.
With the exception of Mr. Clancy, none of our executive officersNEOs participated in the Vishay Non-Qualified Retirement Plan. The Vishay Non-Qualified Retirement Plan was frozen effective December 31, 2008, and no further benefits have accrued beyond that date. In connection with the spin-off, we established a corresponding plan, the “VPG Non-Qualified Retirement Plan”,Plan,” to preserve the benefits accumulated by certain of our employees under the Vishay Non-Qualified Retirement Plan. Only active employees who participated in the Vishay Non-Qualified Retirement Plan as of December 31, 2008 are eligible to participate in the parallel VPG plan. In connection with the freezing of
26




the Vishay Non-Qualified Retirement Plan, Mr. Clancy became eligible to participate in a supplemental matching program under the Vishay Employee Savings Plus Plan, pursuant to which amounts were deposited in his VSH KEWAP account. This supplemental matching program will continuecontinues under the corresponding VPG plans.
Every “highly compensated” employee (as such term is defined under ERISA),who has been designated as an Eligible Executive by the administrator of the plan, including our executive officers, is eligible to participate in our non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the “VPG KEWAP”). The VPG KEWAP permits eligible employeesexecutives to make voluntary contributions and provides for discretionary Company contributions. In addition, we are required to make contributions on behalf of Mr. Clancy to his VPG KEWAP account as described above.
Perquisites
We provide executive officers with perquisites and other personal benefits that VPG and the Compensation Committee believebelieves are reasonable and consistent with our overall executive compensation program. These perquisites are not intended, however, to constitute a material portion of the executive’s compensation packages.package. In general, the perquisites, while not integral to the performance of an executive’s duties, must bear some relationship to the executive’s employment and be of perceived benefit to VPG. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the levels of perquisites and other personal benefits provided to named executive officers.our NEOs.

Individual Considerations

Compensation among the Company’s senior executivesNEOs reflects a general assessment of their contributions to the Company’s current performance and its prospects for growth in the future. Our successes have always been fueled by the drivers of technological innovation, continuous efficiency improvement and synergistic acquisition. Mr. Shoshani leads in all these areas and his compensation reflects a perception by the Compensation Committee that the areas of his responsibility will continue to be the key drivers of our future performance.
Other Considerations Regarding Executive Compensation
Israeli benefits
Mr.Messrs. Shoshani isand Tal are employed by Vishay Advanced Technologies, Ltd., an Israeli subsidiary of VPG, and is a residentare residents of Israel. As a result, he isthey are entitled to certain benefits that are generally available to employees in Israel on a non-discriminatory basis, but are not afforded to the other named executive officers,Mr. Clancy, including:
-22-


These benefits are required by Israeli law or employment practices generally, and were taken into account by the Compensation Committee in formulating the overall compensation packagepackages for Mr. Shoshani.
Messrs. Shoshani and Tal.
Foreign currency considerations
Mr. Shoshani’s base salary is denominated in U.S. dollars and paid in New Israeli Shekels at a pre-determined exchange rate calculated in accordance with his employment agreement. The Compensation Committee evaluates the effect of foreign currency conversion rates in formulating the overall compensation packagepackages for Mr. Shoshani.Shoshani and Mr. Tal. We determined to set Mr. Shoshani’s base salary in New Israeli Shekels beginning January 1, 2015. Effective January 1, 2022, Mr. Shoshani’s base salary was NIS 2,420,092 on an annual basis. Mr. Tal's base salary in New Israeli Shekels effective January 1, 2022 was NIS 988,165.
Executive Compensation Advisory Vote and Its Frequency
Tax deductibility ofWe included an advisory stockholder vote on executive compensation
Section 162(m) (commonly referred to as "say-on-pay") in our 2022 proxy materials. The Compensation Committee appreciates that over 99% of the Internal Revenue Code limitsvotes cast on such proposal approved the executive compensation discussed and disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables, and the narrative executive compensation disclosure contained in our 2022 Proxy Statement.
27




Our Compensation Committee interprets the results of this vote as an endorsement of existing programs and therefore, we have not made material changes to $1 millionour approach to executive officer compensation based on such vote.
In addition, we included in our 2017 proxy materials an advisory stockholder vote on how frequently the annual tax deductionCompany should conduct a “say-on-pay” vote. In line with the Board of Directors’ recommendation, a majority of the shares voting recommended that the Company conduct a “say-on-pay” vote annually. Therefore, our Board of Directors is again this year submitting for a non-binding stockholder vote our executive compensation paidas described in this proxy statement.
Prohibition on Hedging and Pledging our Common Stock
The Company considers it inappropriate for persons employed by or associated with the Company to eachengage in certain transactions related to the securities of the Company and its affiliates (“Subject Securities”) that could result in their interests no longer being aligned with the same interests and objectives as other stockholders of the Company. Therefore, as part of its Securities Trading Policy, the Company restricts these persons from hedging, engaging in short-sales, transacting in publicly traded options, and pledging Subject Securities.

The restrictions apply to all directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries (“service providers”) as well as family members and any others that reside with a service provider. Family members who do not reside with a service provider are subject to the restrictions if a service provider directs, influences or controls their transactions in Subject Securities. This includes, for example, parents or children of a service provider who consult with the service provider regarding their trades (collectively, the “covered persons”).
Hedging
Certain hedging and monetization transactions, such as zero-cost collars and forward sale contracts, involve the establishment of a short position in the Subject Securities and limit or eliminate the covered person’s ability to profit from an increase in the value of the Subject Securities. Accordingly, these transactions can cause a covered person’s interests to be misaligned with other stockholders of the Company. The Company therefore prohibits all hedging and monetization transactions involving the Subject Securities. Short sales of Subject Securities (sales of securities that are not then owned), including a “sale against the box” (a sale with delayed delivery), and transactions in publicly traded options in the Subject Securities, such as puts, calls and other derivative securities, are also prohibited.
Pledging
Subject Securities held in a margin account or pledged as collateral for a loan may be sold without the covered person’s consent if he or she fails to meet a margin call or defaults on a loan, which may occur at a time when the covered person is aware of material nonpublic information or is otherwise not permitted to trade in Company securities. Therefore, these activities are prohibited.

Clawback Policy

In February 2020, the Compensation Committee adopted a clawback policy. In the event that the Company restates financial statements to correct a material error, the policy generally provides that the Company will seek to recover incentive compensation erroneously awarded during the prior three years to executive officers. The clawback policy is administered by the Compensation Committee, which has the sole discretion in making all determinations under the clawback policy, including the method for recovering erroneously awarded compensation.

Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines

To further align the interests of the Company's executives with its stockholders, the Board adopted stock ownership guidelines in 2021 (the “Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines”) applicable to the Company’s executive officers and other individuals who, from time to time, are deemed subject to the Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines by the Compensation Committee (the “Covered Executives”). The Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines are as follows:
28




The Company’s 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 the Chief Executive Officer and anyOfficer’s base salary as of the three highest paid other executive officers,Measurement Date (market close on the first trading day in March of each calendar year);
Each Covered Executive, other than the Chief Executive Officer, and the Chief Financial Officer. However, compensation that qualifies as performance-based compensation is deductible even in excess of $1 million. As part of its role, the Compensation Committee reviews and considers the deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m)required to own shares of the Code. VPG believes that the compensation generally is fully deductible for federal income tax purposes.

In 2022, the average New Israeli Shekel/U.S. Dollar exchange rate.rate was 3.36099 NIS per U.S. Dollar.
(2)Mr. Shoshani’s employment agreement provides for a one-time signing bonus equal to $400,000, which is subject to repayment if Mr. Shoshani terminates his employment prior to July 6, 2013 other than due to death, disability or “good reason.”

As described under the heading “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Special Spin-Off Payments and Awards” herein, Mr. Shoshani received a founder's equity grantassumptions as set forth in the form of RSUs. The number of RSUs earned was equal to $800,000 divided by the average closing priceNote 10 of our common stock during a specified period in July 2010. The grant of these RSUs was delayed pending resolution of certain tax issues until December 2010, by which time the prevailing stock price had risen from its July 2010 levels. As a result, although the number of RSUs comprising this founder's equity grant was fixed in July 2010consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K filed on March 1, 2023, and had a value of $800,000 atassuming that time, the grant-date fair value of these RSUs required to be reported in column (e) for Mr. Shoshani is approximately $1,185,000.
all performance criteria are completely satisfied. For financial statement reporting purposes, the amount of compensation expense for RSUs is recognized ratably over the vesting period of the respective awards.

The grant-date fair value is recognized over the vesting period of the award. There can be no assurance that the grant-date fair value of this award will ever be realized. The value of these stock options as set forth in our financial statements is subject to assumptions detailed in Note 13 to our combined and consolidated financial statements.
(5)(3)Column (g) represents performance-based cash bonuses that our executive officersNEOs received with respect to performance in the applicable year. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Compensation Components, Performance Bonus.”
(6)(4)
Column (h) reflects the change in the actuarial present value of the named executive officer’sNEOs pension and other post-employment benefits under respective defined benefit retirement plans, from the plan measurement date used in preparing the prior year combined and consolidated financial statements to the plan measurement date used in preparing the current year combined and consolidated financial statements, determined using the same interest rate, mortality, and other actuarial assumptions used in our consolidated financial statements.

Each NEO is entitled to participate in the Vishay IntertechnologyVPG non-qualified deferred compensation plan, under which is substantially similar to its predecessor plan sponsored by Vishay Intertechnology at the time of the spin-off. Under the VPG non-qualified deferred compensation plan, deferred amounts deferred are credited with earnings based on the performance of notional investment options available under the plan. As of January 1, 2010, the named executive officers are eligible to participate in the VPG non-qualified deferred compensation plan, which is substantially similar to its Vishay Intertechnology predecessor plan.

Pension Benefits
Prior to the spin-off, our pension benefits were administered by Vishay Intertechnology. Beginning in January 2010, we began adopting independent pension benefit plans with substantially similar terms as those maintained by Vishay Intertechnology at the time of the spin-off to ensure continuity of benefits for those Vishay Intertechnology employees who became VPG employees at the spin-off. A description of legacy Vishay Intertechnology plans and the new plans that we adopted in their place follows.
In the United States, Vishay Intertechnology maintained a non-qualified pension plan which provided defined benefits to U.S. employees whose participation in the qualified pension plan could jeopardize the qualification of such plan under the Internal Revenue Code. The plan was contributory and, other than its non-qualified status under ERISA, provided substantially the same benefits that were available under Vishay Intertechnology’s qualified retirement plan. Employees with five or more years of service were entitled to annual pension benefits beginning at normal retirement age on the first day of the month following the participant’s 65th birthday equal to the sum of 2.1% of the first $10,000 of earnings plus 2.64% of the annual earnings in excess of $10,000 with a new pension unit earned each year. The final pension was the sum of all units earned during the employee’s career. The plan permitted early retirement if the participant was at least age 55 and had at least five years of service. Employees could elect to receive their pension benefits in the form of a joint and survivor annuity or other contingent annuities. Employees were 100% vested immediately in their contributions. If employees terminated before rendering five years of service, they forfeited the right to receive the portion of their accumulated plan benefits attributable to the Company's contributions. Employees received the value of their accumulated benefits as a life annuity payable monthly from retirement. For each employee electing a life annuity, payments would not be less than the greater of (a) the employee’s accumulated contributions plus interest or (b) an annuity for five years. In connection with the spin-off, VPG adopted the VPG Non-Qualified Retirement Plan, which provides for substantially similar benefits to those provided by its Vishay Intertechnology counterpart.counterpart at the time of the spin-off. Like the Vishay Non-Qualified Retirement Plan at the time of the spin-off, the VPG Non-Qualified Retirement Plan is frozen.frozen with respect to participation and accrual of benefits.

    PROPOSAL NO. 3
    AMENDMENT TO
    CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATIONCEO Pay Ratio
         When we completed our spin-off from Vishay Intertechnology, we adopted an amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate”) thatThis information is substantially similar to Vishay Intertechnology’s certificate of incorporation. Because our capital structure is substantially similar to Vishay Intertechnology’s capital structure, we maintained the provisions of Vishay Intertechnology’s certificate of incorporation that define the rights and restrictions applicable to the Class B common shares. Subsequent to our adoption of the Certificate, we identified two referencesprovided in the Certificate to numbers of shares of Class B common stock that were intended to be, and should have been, adjusted to reflect our significantly smaller outstanding share base, as compared to that of Vishay Intertechnology. As a result, the Class B stockholders are subject to greater restrictions on transfer of the Class B common shares than intended, and automatic conversion of Class B common shares into ordinary common shares may be triggered earlier than intended.
         On March 15, 2011, the Board approved an amendment to the Certificate (the “Amendment”) that makes these technical adjustments. The Board also approved inclusion of this Proposal Three in the proxy statement and recommended that our stockholders adopt the Amendment at this annual meeting.
         We are asking our stockholders to approve the Amendment. If the stockholders approve the Amendment, we will promptly file a certificate of amendmentaccordance with the Secretaryrequirements of StateItem 402(u) of DelawareRegulation S-K and the Amendment will become effective. The Amendment will not affect the number of shares of our Class B common stock that are outstanding, nor materially impact the rights and restrictions associated with our Class B common stock. The text of the Amendment is set forth inAnnex Ato this proxy statement.
    The Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR the approval of the amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

    As permitted under the requirements of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) enablesItem 402(u) of Regulation S-K that require us to identify our stockholdersmedian employee once every three years and calculate total compensation for the employee each year, we identified our median-paid employee by looking at compensation between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021 for employees of the Company as of December 31, 2021. The total employee population considered was 2,336 people and we did not exclude any employees, other than our CEO. We used year-end local payroll records, consistently applied, to vote to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis,identify the median employee.

    Mr. Shoshani’s annual total compensation of our named executive officersfor 2022 was $2,721,053, as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordancethe Summary Compensation Table above. Our median employee’s annual total compensation, calculated consistent with Summary Compensation Table rules, for 2022 was $39,790. Accordingly, the SEC’s rules.

    Pay Versus Performance
    As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the fiscal year 2010 compensationrelationship between “compensation actually paid” to our CEO and to our other NEOs and certain financial performance of our named executive officers.

    Description of the Board valuesRelationship Between Compensation Actually Paid to our Named Executive Officers and Company Performance

    The charts below describe the input of stockholders regarding the Company’srelationship between compensation actually paid to our chief executive compensation practices. As contemplated by the Dodd-Frank Act, stockholders are also invited to express their views on how frequently advisory votes on executive compensation, such as Proposal Four, will occur. Stockholders can advise the Board on whether such votes should occur every year, every two years, or every three years or may abstain from voting.
         Our Board recommends that future say-on-pay votes be conducted every three years (or triennially) to provide stockholders with an appropriate timeframe to evaluate our overall executive compensation program. As described in detail in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section herein, our executive compensation program is designed to provide a competitive level of total compensation necessary to attract and retain executives qualified to execute our business strategyofficer and to motivate them to contribute to our short- and long-term success. Accordingly, a substantial portion of the compensation provided to ourother named executive officers is tied(as calculated above) and our financial and stock performance for the indicated years. In addition, the first table below compares our cumulative total shareholder return ("TSR") and peer group cumulative TSR for the indicated years.

    Company’s Most Important Financial Performance Measures

    The following were the most important financial performance measures, as determined by the Company, that link the compensation actually paid to our long-term corporate performance. Voting every three years, rather than every one or two years, will give our stockholders the opportunity to more fully assess the success or failure of our long-term compensation strategiesCEO and the related business outcomes with the hindsight of three years of corporate performance.
         A triennial vote will also provide us with sufficient time to evaluate and respond effectively to stockholder input, engage with stockholders to understand and respond to prior voting results and implement any appropriate changes to our program. In addition, a triennial vote will provide time for any implemented changes to take effect and allow stockholders sufficient time to evaluate the effectiveness of our compensation program and any changes madeOther NEOs to the program.Company’s performance for the most recently completed fiscal year.

    Agreements with Vishay Intertechnology
    In connection with the spin-off, we and Vishay Intertechnology entered into certain agreements which govern our relationship with Vishay Intertechnology and provide for the allocation of employee benefits, tax and other liabilities and obligations. The following are brief summaries of the terms of the material agreements we entered into with Vishay Intertechnology. Each summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the applicable agreement.
    Master Separation Agreement
    The master separation agreement governs our separation from Vishay Intertechnology, the distribution of shares of our common stock and Class B common stock to Vishay Intertechnology stockholders and other matters related to Vishay Intertechnology’s relationship with us. References in this section to ancillary agreements refer to the tax matters agreement, the trademark license agreement, the employee matters agreement, the lease agreements, the transition services agreements, the secondment agreement, the patent license agreement, and the supply agreements, some of which are described herein, as well as other agreements between us and Vishay Intertechnology.
    The Separation
    In a series of transactions culminating on July 6, 2010, Vishay Intertechnology moved its precision measurement and foil resistor businesses to us, including assets and equity interests of certain subsidiaries of Vishay Intertechnology, and we moved a small amount of assets that we holdheld and that dodid not constitute part of our business to Vishay Intertechnology. Except as specified in the master separation agreement, we agreed to assume and perform all of the liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and obligations arising under or relating to the operation of the precision measurement and foil resistor businesses or the assets and equity interests that were transferred to us as part of the separation, whether incurred before or after the separation.
    Exchangeable Notes and Warrants
    In connection with the spin-off from Vishay Intertechnology, we were required to assume a portion of Vishay Intertechnology’s indebtedness arising out of a 2002 exchangeable note and warrant financing. Accordingly, we issued notes with an initial principal amount of approximately $10.0 million, exchangeable for shares of our common stock to such persons, as required by the put and call agreement between Vishay Intertechnology and the holders of the corresponding 2002 Vishay Intertechnology notes due December 13, 2102. We also issued warrants to acquire 630,252 shares of our common stock to such persons, as required by the 2002 warrant agreement between Vishay Intertechnology and American Stock Transfer and Trust Company. Finally, we agreed to register the shares of VPG common stock issuable upon exchange of the exchangeable notes or exercise of the warrants on a resale registration statement on such terms and within such time periods as required by a securities investment and registration rights agreement to which Vishay Intertechnology is subject.
    -36-


    Release of Claims and Indemnification
    We and Vishay Intertechnology each released each other and each other’s respective current and former directors, officers, managers, agents, security holders, advisors, accountants, attorneys and other representatives from all liabilities existing or arising from any acts or events occurring or failing to occur on or before the distribution date. Each of Vishay Intertechnology and we agreed to indemnify the other party and the other party’s respective current and former directors, officers, and employees against liabilities arising out of or resulting from the failure of the indemnifying party to perform or discharge liabilities for which it is responsible under the master separation agreement; the business of such party; any liability contemplated to be assumed or retained by such party; any environmental liabilities for which such party is liable under the master separation agreement; any breach or failure to perform by such party of its obligations under the master separation agreement or ancillary agreements; or any material misstatement or omission of such party in this information statement or the Form 10 registration statement of which it forms a part.
    Tax Matters Agreement
    In connection with the master separation agreement, we entered into a tax matters agreement with Vishay Intertechnology. This agreement (1) governs the allocation of U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign tax liability between us and Vishay Intertechnology, (2) provides for certain restrictions and indemnities in connection with the tax treatment of the distribution, and (3) addresses certain other tax-related matters.
    The tax matters agreement also provides that we are liable for taxes incurred by Vishay Intertechnology that arise as a result of our taking or failing to take certain actions that result in the distribution failing to meet the requirements of a tax-free distribution under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code. We therefore have agreed that, among other things, we will not take any actions that would result in any tax being imposed on the spin-off.
    Trademark License Agreement
    We entered a trademark license agreement pursuant to which Vishay Intertechnology will grant us the license to use certain trademarks, trade names and domain names which include the term “Vishay.” Vishay Intertechnology granted us the limited, exclusive, royalty-free right and license to use certain marks incorporating the name “VISHAY” in connection with the design, development, manufacture, marketing, provision and performance of foil resistors, foil resistor current sensors, strain gages, load cells, instrumentation for precision measurement and modules and systems incorporating these products, as well as other products and services. The license is for our use in perpetuity throughout the world, unless the license is terminated in accordance with the terms of the trademark license agreement. Unless and until the trademark license is terminated and for 24 months thereafter, we will also be allowed to use the name “Vishay Precision Group, Inc.” as our corporate name.
    While the trademark license agreement remains in effect, Vishay Intertechnology will agree that it will not use any of the licensed marks with respect to the design, development, manufacture, marketing, provision, or performance of any goods or services to which the license pertains except that nothing precludes Vishay Intertechnology from identifying any of its goods and services with the corporate name Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.
    Transition Services Agreements
    We entered into a transition services agreement pursuant to which Vishay Intertechnology, in its capacity as the provider, provides us, in our capacity as the recipient, with certain information technology and other services for a limited time to help ensure an orderly transition following the separation. In addition, we and Vishay Intertechnology entered into a reverse transition services agreement pursuant to which we, in our capacity as the provider, will provide to Vishay Intertechnology, in its capacity as the recipient, certain services for a limited time for Vishay Japan Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Vishay Intertechnology. Other than the specific services to be provided and the costs associated with such services, the terms of the reverse transition services agreement will be the same as the terms of the transition services agreement.
    Pursuant to the transition services agreement, Vishay Intertechnology, through its subsidiaries, provides to us certain information technology support services for our foil resistor business at costs set forth in the transition services agreement. Pursuant to the reverse transition services agreement, we, through our subsidiary, provide Vishay Japan Co., Ltd. certain information technology support services. The cost of the services provided may not necessarily be reflective of prices that could have been obtained for similar services from an independent third-party.
    We do not expect total payments under the transition services agreements to exceed $500,000 in the aggregate and, for the year ended December 31, 2010, the net payments by us to Vishay Intertechnology were $200,000. The substantial majority of such expenses have been and will continue to be incurred under the transition services agreement.
    -37-


    Secondment Agreement
    Vishay Intertechnology agreed to second to us two of its employees, Dr. Felix Zandman and Reuven Katraro, in accordance with the terms of the secondment agreement. We refer to each of Dr. Zandman and Mr. Katraro as a secondee. Pursuant to the secondment agreement, Vishay Intertechnology is required to make each secondee available to us for the services specified in the secondment agreement for up to 5% of the secondee’s professional working time on a monthly basis. The initial term of the secondment agreement will expire on the first anniversary of its execution and will thereafter automatically renew for additional one-year periods unless sooner terminated. We will pay Vishay Intertechnology approximately $30,000 in connection with services rendered by the secondees in 2010.
    Supply Agreements
    We and Vishay Intertechnology each require certain products manufactured by the other for manufacture and sale of our respective products. Accordingly, we and Vishay Intertechnology or one or more of our respective subsidiaries, entered into multiple supply agreements pursuant to which one party will be obligated to supply to the other certain products described in the supply agreements, up to a maximum aggregate quantity for each product, at pricing set forth in the supply agreements. The initial term of each supply agreement will expire on the three-year anniversary of its execution and will thereafter automatically renew for additional one-year periods unless sooner terminated. The parties will negotiate in good faith as to the pricing for each product on an annual basis taking into account ascertainable market inputs.
    Lease Agreements
    We and Vishay Intertechnology, or our respective subsidiaries, entered into lease agreements for space in Be’er Sheva, Israel; Malvern, Pennsylvania;Pennsylvania and Akita, Japan; and Holon, Israel.Japan. In each case, the lease is at a market rate and on customary terms for a lease of its nature. We intend to continue these lease arrangements for the foreseeable future.

    PROPOSAL THREE

    ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

    The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) enables our stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory or non-binding basis, the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with SEC rules.
    As described in detail under the heading “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” our executive compensation programs are designed to attract, motivate, and retain our NEOs, who are critical to our success. Under these programs, our NEOs are rewarded for the achievement of specific annual, long-term and strategic goals, corporate goals, and the realization of increased stockholder value. Please read the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” for additional details about our executive compensation programs, including information about the fiscal year 2022 compensation of our NEOs.

    This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our NEOs' compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our NEOs and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement. We are asking our stockholders to approve the following advisory resolution at the 2023 Annual Meeting:

    RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the SEC’s executive compensation disclosure rules (which disclosure includes the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and the narrative discussion that accompanies the compensation tables), is hereby approved.

    The "say-on-pay" vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or the Board. Our Board and our Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and to the extent there is any significant vote against the NEO compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, we will consider our stockholders’ concerns and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns. Following a vote by our stockholders at our 2017 Annual Meeting, our Board determined that we would conduct a “say-on-pay” vote annually. Subject to the outcome of the advisory vote on the frequency of future say-on-pay votes (Proposal Four), we expect that the next say-on-pay vote will occur at the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting.


    The Board unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" the approval of the compensation of the NEOs as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion.

    46




    PROPOSAL FOUR

    ADVISORY VOTE ON FREQUENCY OF STOCKHOLDER ADVISORY VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

    As discussed in Proposal Three, the Board values the input of stockholders regarding the Company’s executive compensation practices. As contemplated by the Dodd-Frank Act, stockholders are also invited to express their views on how frequently advisory votes on executive compensation, such as Proposal Three, will occur. Stockholders can advise the Board on whether such votes should occur every year, every two years, or every three years or may abstain from voting. In line with the aggregate, we paid Vishay Intertechnology $76,000 during 2010recommendation of the Board and Vishay Intertechnology paid us $89,000 during the same period.vote of the Company's stockholders at the Company's 2017 annual meeting that an advisory stockholder vote on executive compensation be conducted annually, the Company's Board has included an advisory stockholder vote on executive compensation in the Company's proxy materials for each annual meeting since 2017.

    Other AgreementsOur Board has determined that an advisory vote on executive compensation that occurs annually is the most appropriate alternative for the Company, and therefore our Board recommends that you vote for a one-year interval for the advisory vote on executive compensation. In formulating its recommendation, our Board considered that an annual advisory vote on executive compensation will allow our stockholders to provide it with their direct input on our compensation philosophy, policies and practices as disclosed in the proxy statement every year. Additionally, an annual advisory vote on executive compensation is consistent with the Board’s policy of seeking input from, and engaging in discussions with, the Company’s stockholders on corporate governance matters and our executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices.

    This advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation is non-binding on the Board. Stockholders will be able to specify one of four choices for this proposal on the proxy card: “One Year,” “Two Years,” “Three Years” or “abstain.” Stockholders are not voting to approve or disapprove the Board’s recommendation. Although non-binding, the Board and the Compensation Committee will carefully review the voting results. Notwithstanding the Board’s recommendation and the outcome of the stockholder vote, the Board may in the future decide to conduct advisory votes on a more or less frequent basis and may vary its practice based on factors such as discussions with stockholders and the adoption of material changes to compensation programs.


    The Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the option of every year as the frequency with which stockholders are provided an advisory vote on executive compensation, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion.

    47




    PROPOSAL FIVE

    APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO OUR AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
    Background

    The Board has unanimously adopted a resolution to amend our Certificate of Incorporation, subject to stockholder approval, to provide for the elimination or limitation of monetary liability of specified executive officers of the Company for breach of the duty of care. Article Ninth of our Certificate of Incorporation currently provides for the Company to limit the monetary liability of directors in certain circumstances pursuant to and consistent with Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Laws of Delaware (“DGCL”). Effective August 1, 2022, Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL was amended to permit a corporation’s certificate of incorporation to include a provision eliminating or limiting monetary liability for certain corporate officers for breach of fiduciary duty (“Section 102(b)(7) Amendment”).

    If the stockholders approve this proposal at the Annual Meeting, the Company will file a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”), reflecting the amendment of Article Ninth of our Certificate of Incorporation as set forth in Appendix A attached hereto. In accordance with the DGCL, however, our Board may elect to abandon the Amendment without further action by the stockholders at any time prior to the effectiveness of the filing of the Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, notwithstanding stockholder approval of the Amendment.

    Purpose and Possible Effects of the Proposed Amendment

    The Board desires to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to maintain provisions consistent with the governing statutes contained in the DGCL. Prior to the Section 102(b)(7) Amendment, Delaware law permitted Delaware corporations to exculpate directors from personal liability for monetary damages associated with breaches of the duty of care, but that protection did not extend to a Delaware corporation’s officers. Consequently, stockholder plaintiffs have employed a tactic of bringing certain claims that would otherwise be exculpated if brought against directors against individual officers to avoid dismissal of such claims. The Section 102(b)(7) Amendment was adopted to address inconsistent treatment between officers and directors and address rising litigation and insurance costs for stockholders. This protection has long been afforded to directors, and accordingly, the Board believes that this Proposal, which would extend exculpation to officers, as specifically permitted by the Section 102(b)(7) Amendment, is fair and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Board also believes that limiting concern about personal risk would empower officers to best exercise their business judgment in furtherance of stockholder interests. We expect our peers to adopt exculpation clauses that limit the personal liability of officers in their certificates of incorporation. Failing to adopt the Section 102(b)(7) Amendment could impact our recruitment and retention of qualified officer candidates who conclude that their potential exposure to liabilities, costs of defense and other risks of proceedings exceed the benefits of serving as an officer of the Company.

    As is currently the case with directors under our Certificate of Incorporation, this provision would not exculpate officers from liability for breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or any transaction in which the officer derived an improper personal benefit. Nor would this provision exculpate such officers from liability for claims brought by or in the right of the Company, such as derivative claims.

    The discussion above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the proposed Amendment, which is attached hereto as Appendix A. If the stockholders approve the Amendment at the Annual Meeting, the Company expects to promptly thereafter file a Certificate of Amendment of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, including the Amendment, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.


    48





    Effectiveness of the Section 102(b)(7) Amendment

    The Board adopted resolutions setting forth the Section 102(b)(7) Amendment, declared the Section 102(b)(7) Amendment advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and unanimously resolved to submit the Section 102(b)(7) Amendment to our stockholders for approval.

    We believe that the approval of the Section 102(b)(7) Amendment requires the affirmative vote of holders of shares of common stock and Vishay Intertechnology also entered into certain other agreements. These include agreements relatingClass B common stock entitled to cast a majority of the manufacturevotes entitled to be cast by the holders of strain gagesall outstanding shares of common stock and Class B common stock, voting together as a single class. However, for the approval of this Proposal Five, we will nonetheless require the following three affirmative votes of: (i) the holders of shares of common stock and Class B common stock entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all outstanding shares of common stock and Class B common stock, voting together as a subsidiarysingle class; (ii) the holders of Vishay Intertechnology for certain European aerospace customers under which we license certain technology toa majority of the Vishay Intertechnology subsidiary foroutstanding shares of common stock, voting as a ten year period. We also entered into an agreement with Vishay Intertechnologyseparate class; and (iii) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock, voting as a separate class. The Board approved the Section 102(b)(7) Amendment, contingent on receiving the majority votes from stockholders in these three voting groups. If the Section 102(b)(7) Amendment is not approved by the majority votes from stockholders in the three voting groups described above, the current Certificate of Incorporation would not be amended pursuant to which a subsidiaryProposal Five. The adoption of Vishay Intertechnology will serve as a manufacturerProposal Five is not contingent on our behalf with respect to the finishingapproval of certain foil resistor chips supplied by oneany other proposal described in this proxy statement.
