First Amendment to the Silgan Containers Pension Plan

 Exhibit 10.15 

FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE 
 SILGAN CONTAINERS PENSION PLAN FOR SALARIED EMPLOYEES 
 THIS FIRST
AMENDMENT is made on September 8, 2010, by SILGAN CONTAINERS MANUFACTURING CORPORATION, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Primary Sponsor”). 

INTRODUCTION 
 The Primary Sponsor maintains the Silgan Containers Pension Plan for Salaried Employees (the “Plan”), which was last amended and restated under an indenture dated December 31, 2009. As part
of that restatement, the Primary Sponsor revised the actuarial factors used under the Plan effective January 1, 2010. The Primary Sponsor now desires to amend the Plan to clarify the application of those factors as it relates to participants
who continue in employment beyond normal retirement age. The Primary Sponsor also desires to amend the Plan during the remedial amendment period for the Pension Protection Act of 2006 to specify that nontaxable distributions from the Plan can be
directly rolled over tax-free to either another tax-qualified plan or a tax-deferred annuity contract under Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, provided certain accounting requirements are met. The Primary Sponsor
also desires to amend the Plan to specify that participants will receive notices of the relative values of the optional forms of benefit, consistent with the Primary Sponsor’s administrative procedures. 

THEREFORE, the Primary Sponsor does hereby amend the Plan, generally effective January 1, 2010, except as otherwise provided herein,
as follows: 
 1. Effective January 1, 2009, by deleting the existing Section 1.26(a)(ii) and substituting therefor
the following: 
 “(ii) a qualified trust as described in Code Section 401(a) or an annuity contract
described in Code Section 403(b), but only to the extent that: 
 (A) the distribution is made in a direct
trustee-to-trustee transfer; and 
 (B) the transferee trust or contract provides for separate accounting for
amounts so transferred (and earnings thereon), including separately accounting for the portion of the distribution which is includable in income and the portion which is not includable in income; and” 

2. By deleting the existing Section 4.3(a) and substituting therefor the following: 

“(a) If a Participant experiences a Termination of Employment (or commences receiving benefits pursuant to
Section 7.11, if applicable) after his Normal Retirement Date, the Participant’s monthly retirement benefit as of any date within a Plan Year (or portion thereof) after his Normal Retirement Age shall be his Accrued Benefit as of the

  

 
end of the prior Plan Year (or, if later, the date the Participant attained Normal Retirement Age) increased by the greater of: (i) any additional accrual attributable to service during the
Plan Year (or portion thereof) for which the Accrued Benefit is being determined; or (ii) the Actuarial Equivalent adjustment for such Plan Year (or portion thereof) to reflect delayed payment of the Participant’s Accrued Benefit.
Notwithstanding Section 1.2(a), solely for purposes of this Section 4.3, Actuarial Equivalence shall at all times be determined using the factors under Section 1.2(a)(i) or 1.2(a)(ii), whichever produces the greater Accrued
Benefit.” 
 3. By deleting the “and” at the end of Section 7.2(c), by replacing the period at the end of
Section 7.2(d) with “; and” and by adding the following new Section 7.2(e) to read as follows: 
 “(e) an explanation of the relative values of the optional forms of benefit available to the Participant under the Plan.” 

Except as specifically amended hereby, the Plan shall remain in full force and effect as prior to this First Amendment. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Primary Sponsor has caused this First Amendment to be executed on the day and year first above written.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE 
 SILGAN CONTAINERS 
 SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN 

(Prior to this Second Amendment, the 
 Silgan Containers Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan) 

THIS SECOND AMENDMENT is made as of July 14, 2009, by SILGAN CONTAINERS LLC (f/k/a Silgan Containers Corporation), a limited
liability corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Primary Sponsor”). 

INTRODUCTION 
 The Primary Sponsor maintains the Silgan Containers Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (prior to this Second Amendment, the “Silgan Containers Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement
Plan”) (the “Plan”), which was last amended and restated by an indenture dated January 21, 2008 and has been amended once since such date. The Primary Sponsor now desires to amend the Plan, effective June 30, 2009, to
provide an additional supplemental matching contribution under the Plan for employees who are not on the payroll of Silgan Holdings Inc. The Primary Sponsor also desires to amend the Plan, effective July 14, 2009, to provide an allocation of a
DISP make-up contribution for compensation paid for the period from January 1, 2009 through July 14, 2009 for employees who are participants in the Plan and are otherwise eligible to receive a DISP contribution under the Silgan Containers
Retirement Savings Plan during such period and to eliminate the DISP make-up contributions for plan years (or portions thereof) beginning on or after July 15, 2009. 
 THEREFORE, the Primary Sponsor hereby amends the Plan, effective as of June 30, 2009, except as otherwise provided herein, as follows: 

1. By substituting the Plan name “Silgan Containers Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan” for the Plan name “Silgan
Containers Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan” wherever the latter appears in the Plan. 
 2. By
substituting “Silgan Containers LLC (f/k/a Silgan Containers Corporation)” for “Silgan Containers Corporation” wherever the latter appears in the Plan. 
 3. By deleting the existing Section 3.2 and substituting therefor the following: 
 “3.2 Matching Contributions. 
 (a) The Plan Sponsor
proposes to credit to the Matching Account for each Plan Year for each Participant in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the contribution made for the Plan Year on behalf of a Participant pursuant to Section 3.1. 

 (b) In addition to the credit described in Subsection (a) hereof, with
respect to contributions under Section 3.1 made on or after July 1, 2009, the Plan Sponsor proposes to credit to the Matching Account for each Participant who is not on the payroll of Silgan Holdings Inc. for a payroll period in an amount
equal to fifty percent (50%) of the portion of a Participant’s Eligible Compensation that is contributed for such payroll period on behalf of such Participant pursuant to Section 3.1. For any Participant who, as of the last day of a
Plan Year, is both an Eligible Employee and not on the payroll of Silgan Holdings Inc., the amount credited under this Subsection (b) shall not be less than: 

(i) for the Plan Year ending December 31, 2009, fifty percent (50%) of the portion of the Participant’s
Eligible Compensation consisting solely of base salary that is contributed pursuant to Section 3.1 for the period beginning July 1, 2009 and ending December 31, 2009; and 

(ii) for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2010, fifty percent (50%) of the portion of the
Participant’s Eligible Compensation consisting solely of base salary that is contributed pursuant to Section 3.1 for such Plan Year. 
 (c) The amount credited by the Plan Sponsor on behalf of each Participant under this Section 3.2 shall be allocated to the Matching Account of the Participant on behalf of whom such amount was
credited.” 
 4. Effective July 14, 2009, by deleting the existing Section 3.3 and substituting therefor:

 “3.3 DISP Make-up Contributions. The Plan Sponsor may make DISP Make-up Contributions to the DISP
Make-up Account for the period beginning January 1, 2009 and ending July 14, 2009 (the ‘DISP Period’) for each Participant who is an Eligible Employee during the DISP Period and who is entitled to a ‘DISP Contribution’
(as defined in the Savings Plan) under the Savings Plan for the DISP Period. The amount of the DISP Make-up Contribution shall be a percentage of DISP Compensation paid during the DISP Period equal to the percentage of ‘Annual
Compensation’ (as defined in the Savings Plan) paid during the DISP Period that is used to calculate the ‘DISP Contribution’ (as defined in the Savings Plan) under the Section 3.3 of the Savings Plan (or any successor thereto),
less the amount of the ‘DISP Contribution’ (as defined in the Savings Plan) actually made to such Participant’s account under the Savings Plan. DISP Make-up Contributions for each Participant entitled thereto shall be allocated, as of
July 14, 2009, to the DISP Make-up Account of each such Participant. For Plan Years (or portions thereof) beginning on or after July 15, 2009, no DISP Make-up Contributions will be made to the Plan with respect to such Plan Years (or
portions thereof) for so long DISP Contributions are not made to the Savings Plan.” 
 Except as specifically amended
hereby, the Plan shall remain in full force and effect prior to this Second Amendment.
