FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
$15M Award to Silicom for Major Government
Project
- Full Delivery Expected Within the Next 12 Months -
KFAR SAVA, Israel — April 08, 2020 -
Silicom Ltd. (NASDAQ: SILC) today announced that a major systems integrator has placed approximately $15 million in purchase orders for 10G, 40G and 100G Intelligent Bypass Units to be delivered during the next 12 months. It will use the
units in a massive infrastructure project for the government of one of the world’s top economies. The integrator has indicated that Silicom should expect additional projects of a similar scope for this government over time.
The integrator selected Silicom after a long process begun in mid-2019 that concluded with a thorough evaluation demonstrating the
superiority of Silicom’s technology and products.
“This is a significant win for us on several levels,” commented Shaike Orbach, Silicom’s CEO. “First of all, its sheer volume will
obviously make a significant contribution to our business. In addition, the potentially large volumes projected for this customer demonstrate that our traditional products continue to offer a very good base for our future growth.
“Equally important is the fact that this major integrator – a significant player in this massive government’s infrastructure market –
is now standardizing on our technology and products. This increases the likelihood that we will become its de-facto standard as they continue rolling out their next-generation networks and data centers, both for this product and for our Edge and
FPGA products. As such, this new relationship offers us significant strategic potential.”

Statements in this press release which are not historical data are forward-looking statements which involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties, or other factors not under the company's control, which may cause actual results, performance, or achievements of the company to be materially different from the results, performance, or other expectations implied by these
forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, Silicom's increasing dependence for substantial revenue growth on a
limited number of customers in the evolving cloud-based, SD-WAN, NFV and Edge markets, the speed and extent to which solutions are adopted by these markets, likelihood that Silicom will rely increasingly on customers which provide solutions in
these evolving markets, resulting in an increasing dependence on a smaller number of larger customers, difficulty in commercializing and marketing of Silicom's products and services, maintaining and protecting brand recognition,
protection of intellectual property, competition, disruptions to our manufacturing and development along with general disruptions to the entire world economy relating to the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and other factors detailed in
the company's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements can generally be identified as such because the context of the statement will include words, such as “expects,” “should,” “believes,”
“anticipates” or words of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe future plans, objectives or goals are also forward-looking statements. In light of significant risks and uncertainties inherent in forward-looking statements, the
