<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">This Conflict Minerals Report for the year ended December 31, 2015 is presented by Silgan Holdings Inc. (which may be referenced as "Silgan," "it," "we," "us" or "our") to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Silgan conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry ("RCOI") regarding "conflict minerals" in the form of tin, tantalum, tungsten and/or gold necessary to the functionality or production of products it manufactured or contracted to manufacture in 2015. As a result of the RCOI, Silgan has reason to believe that certain of those conflict minerals may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo ("DRC") or an adjoining country (collectively, the "Covered Countries") and were not from recycled or scrap sources. Consequently, Silgan undertook due diligence measures to seek to determine the source and chain of custody of these conflict minerals. This report describes the design, implementation and results of Silgan's due diligence.</div>

Silgan's due diligence program design accordingly reflects its efforts to address the following elements of the OECD Guidance: (1) establishment of strong company management systems; (2) identification and assessment of risk in the supply chain; (3) design and implementation of a strategy to respond to identified risks; (4) support of independent auditing programs for smelters and refiners (collectively, "SORs"); and (5) annual reporting on Silgan's supply chain due diligence.</div>

This internal approach reflects our commitment to non-conflict sourcing and our expectation that our direct suppliers work to ensure that the conflict minerals contained in materials they supply to us are sourced from SORs that have been verified by an independent auditing program such as the Conflict-Free Smelter Program established by the CFSI, the London Bullion Market Association Good Delivery Program or the Responsible Jewellery Council's Chain-of-Custody Certification. We rely on the information provided by such programs to determine whether the SORs disclosed by our suppliers are certified as conflict free. SORs in the supply chain that are certified by any of such programs are deemed to have delivered conflict minerals that have not benefitted or financed armed groups in the Covered Countries. An SOR that is not certified by one of these internationally recognized schemes is subject to the additional inquiries discussed above.</td>
