*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	The amount of securities acquired and the price for each of the transactions that occurred on 1/22/2010 and 4/21/2010 have been adjusted to give effect to the Issuer's two-for-one stock split effected on May 3, 2010 in the form of a stock dividend. Without giving effect to such stock split, the reporting person acquired 84 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer on 1/22/2010 at a price of $53.22 per share and 37 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer on 4/21/2010 at a price of $64.039 per share.
(2)	The reporting person's purchase of 84 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer on 1/22/2010 at a price of $53.22 per share (without giving effect to the stock split) is matchable under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with the reporting person's sale of 84 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer on 11/04/2009 at a price of $55.3221 per share (without giving effect to the stock split). The reporting person has paid to the Issuer $176.58 representing the full amount of profit realized in connection with the short-swing transaction in the respect of such 84 shares.
(3)	On May 3, 2010, a two-for-one stock split of the Common Stock of Silgan Holdings Inc. in the form of a stock dividend was effected, resulting in the reporting person's direct ownership of 6,426 additional shares of Common Stock of Silgan Holdings Inc. on such date. The amount of securities beneficially owned includes 6,800 restricted stock units granted under the Silgan Holdings Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, which upon vesting will be settled in shares of Common Stock of Silgan Holdings Inc. on a 1-for-1 basis.
