COMPLETES PUBLIC DUTCH AUCTION OF

ISRAEL
KFAR SAVA, Israel, January 25, 2006 – Silicom Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: SILC) today announced that it has completed a public Dutch auction in connection with an oversubscribed underwritten offering of Ordinary Shares (“Shares”) and Option Certificates (Series 1) (“Option Certificates”) in Israel.
As such, Silicom will issue a total of 10,000 units at a price of NIS 2771.20 (approximately $600) per unit, with each unit comprising 80 Shares and 40 Option Certificates. Each Option Certificate will be exercisable into one Share until January 31, 2008 at an exercise price of $8.63 per Share. Silicom expects to list the Shares and Option Certificates on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange during the next few days.
Net proceeds to the Company from the offering are expected to total approximately $6 million at the time of the sale, and any exercise of Option Certificates in the future would contribute additional proceeds to the Company.
Neither the Shares, Option Certificates nor the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option Certificates have been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended. They may not be offered or sold to U.S. Persons or in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
