FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SILICOM TO DUAL-LIST
ON THE
TEL AVIV STOCK
EXCHANGE (TASE)
– Improving Accessibility to Israeli Institutional Investors and Mutual Funds –
KFAR SAVA, Israel – December 22, 2005 – Silicom Ltd. (NASDAQ:SILCF) today announced that it has obtained approval to list its shares on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE), and that trading on the TASE will commence on December 27. Silicom’s shares will be included in the Tel-Tech index. Silicom’s shares will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “SILCF,” and Silicom will continue to be subject to all rules and regulations of Nasdaq and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The dual listing follows a strong third quarter for Silicom in which the Company posted its seventh consecutive quarter of revenue growth and its third straight profitable quarter. Since the end of the third quarter, the Company has announced two major new Design Wins and a strategic new order from an existing Tier-1 Security Industry customer.
“We are taking this move in light of increased interest in Silicom expressed by Israeli investors,” said Shaike Orbach, President and CEO of Silicom. “As demonstrated over the past four years by many of the other Israeli companies that have dual-listed on the TASE, we are hopeful that this move will expand and diversify our investor base and raise the daily trading volume and the liquidity of our share.”
Since October 2000, dual listing on the TASE has been allowed for companies whose shares are listed on certain exchanges outside of Israel. Additional information about the TASE exchange can be found at www.tase.co.il.
