Silgan Holdings Inc., or Silgan, issued a press release announcing that it had entered into a definitive agreement to purchase Portola Packaging, Inc., or Portola, a leading manufacturer of plastic closures. Portola operates eight manufacturing
facilities in North America and Europe and had sales of approximately $200 million in 2012. The transaction is structured as a merger of a newly formed subsidiary of Silgan with and into Portola, with the surviving entity becoming a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Silgan. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, Silgan agreed to acquire Portola for a
cash purchase price of $266 million on a debt-free basis. Silgan expects to fund the purchase price from cash on hand and borrowings under its senior secured credit facility. Consummation of the transaction is subject to certain customary closing
conditions, including antitrust clearance. The requisite stockholder approval of the merger agreement by Portola&#146;s stockholders was obtained after the parties entered into the merger agreement. </FONT></P>

(Nasdaq:SLGN), a leading supplier of rigid packaging for shelf-stable food and other consumer goods products, announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to purchase Portola Packaging, Inc., a leading manufacturer of plastic
closures. This business, with sales of approximately $200 million in 2012, operates eight facilities in North America and Europe. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;We
believe that the acquisition of Portola broadens our global closure franchise,&#148; said Bob Lewis, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. &#147;Portola has a strong reputation as an innovator in closure design and operational
leadership. As a result, we believe this acquisition will be highly synergistic with our existing closure business, while providing a broader platform to service our customers&#146; market needs. In addition, we are excited about the opportunity to
expand our relatively small European plastic closure presence through Portola&#146;s manufacturing facilities in the United Kingdom and Czech Republic,&#148; concluded Mr.&nbsp;Lewis. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The purchase price for this transaction is $266 million, and the acquisition is expected to be slightly accretive to earnings initially, excluding the impact of the required purchase accounting write-up
of inventory, becoming more accretive as synergies are phased in over the next eighteen months following the closing. The transaction is expected to close as early as September&nbsp;2013, </FONT></P>
