Issuance of Convertible Debt in a Private Placement
On February 14, 2022, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Lynrock Lake Master Fund LP (the “Purchaser”), providing for the issuance to
the Purchaser of a senior unsecured convertible promissory note (the “Note”), convertible into our ordinary shares in an aggregate principal amount of $40 million. The transaction closed on February 17, 2022.
The Note does not bear regular interest and the principal amount of the Note does not accrete. The Note matures on February 14, 2025; provided, that we, in our sole discretion,
may extend the date of maturity by one year up to two times, each time by providing the holder of the Note with 90 days’ notice of such extension. The Note is convertible in whole or in part at the option of the holder at any time prior to our
repayment of the principal amount of the Note in full, at an initial conversion rate of 97.0874 ordinary shares per $1,000 of the principal amount being converted (based on an initial conversion price equal to $10.30 per ordinary share), subject to
certain customary anti-dilution adjustments as described in the Note (as it may be so adjusted, the “Conversion Rate”).
In the event we exercise our option to extend the maturity date, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted such that the conversion price will decrease by $1 per ordinary shares (as
adjusted commensurate with any anti-dilution adjustments to the Conversion Rate prior to such time) for each year that the maturity is extended. In such event, the Conversion Rate for the year following the first extension would be increased to
110.8% of the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such extension. If we elect to extend the maturity date for a second year, the Conversion Rate for the year following such second extension would be increased to 112.0% of the Conversion
Rate in effect immediately prior to such second extension.
In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Note), the holder of the Note has the right to require us to convert all or a portion of the Note to ordinary shares or
redeem all (but not less than all) of the outstanding principal amount of the Note. In the event of such a conversion or redemption in connection with a Change of Control, we will also be required to pay the holder an amount in cash equal to 6%
per annum on the then-outstanding principal amount of the Note from the date of such conversion or redemption through the maturity date, as it may have been extended. Should the holder of the Note receive a demand or notice giving rise to a claim
for any taxes payable arising from a payment made under the Note, we have agreed to fully indemnify the holder for the respective tax amount due and payable.
The Purchaser’s conversion of the Note is subject to an initial beneficial ownership limitation of 19.99% of the ordinary shares outstanding immediately after any such
conversion, which may be decreased upon notice from the Purchaser or increased to 24.99% upon 61 days’ notice from the Purchaser. The beneficial ownership limitation with respect to any holder of the Note other than the Purchaser or its affiliates
will be 9.99%. In addition, any transfer of the Note may only be made in full.
In connection with the foregoing, we entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Purchaser pursuant to which we agreed to file a
registration statement to register the resale of 7,966,640 ordinary shares held by Purchaser, any ordinary shares into which the Note may be converted, and any ordinary shares or other securities issued or issuable in connection with the exercise
of certain dividends or distributions.
The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, the Note and the Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be a complete description of the terms of the documents, and
are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the definitive documents or forms thereof which have been filed with the SEC.

A description of our share capital can be found in “Description of the Registrant’s Securities Registered Pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities
Act of 1934,” filed as Exhibit 2.2 to our annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 22, 2022 and in our “Articles of Association,” filed as Exhibit 99.3 to our report of foreign private
issuer furnished with the SEC November 1, 2018, in each case, incorporated by reference herein.
Share Capital
Our authorized share capital consists of 200,000,000 ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.10 per share, of which 36,491,480 and 36,587,444 ordinary shares were issued and outstanding
as of December 31, 2021 and April 3, 2022, respectively. All of our outstanding ordinary shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Our ordinary shares are not redeemable and do not have any preemptive rights.
Under our articles of association, as amended on October 29, 2018, our shareholders are authorized, by passing an ordinary resolution approved by more than 50% of the voting power
represented at a general meeting and voting therein, to increase our share capital by the creation of new authorized shares. Any such increase shall be in such amount and shall be divided into shares of such nominal amounts, and such shares shall
confer such rights and preferences and be subject to such restrictions as such ordinary resolution shall apply.
Under the Allot Communications Ltd. 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2016 Plan”), filed as Exhibit 4.2 to our annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 22, 2022,
incorporated by reference herein, the Compensation Committee of our board of directors may increase our share capital by a maximum aggregate amount of 3,001,204 ordinary shares plus an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year during the
term of the Plan, beginning January 1, 2017, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 1,000,000 ordinary shares, (ii) 3.5% of the outstanding ordinary shares on the last day of the immediately preceding year, or (iii) an amount determined by our board
of directors. As of February 20, 2022, there were 2,576,725 outstanding options and RSUs under the 2016 Plan and 1,184,746 ordinary shares reserved for future grants under the 2016 Plan. The options have a weighted average exercise price of $7.89 per
share.
Our compensation and nominating committee administers the 2016 Plan and it selects which of our and our subsidiaries’ and affiliates’ eligible employees, directors and/or
consultants receive options, RSUs or other awards under the 2016 Plan and will determine the terms of the grant, including, exercise prices, method of payment, vesting schedules, acceleration of vesting and the other matters necessary in the
administration of the plan.
Under our articles of association, as amended on October 29, 2018, our board of directors may increase the Company’s share capital through the issuance of options or rights to
acquire ordinary shares from the Company, in each case on such terms as our board of directors shall deem appropriate.
From January 1, 2019 through March 22, 2022, the following events have changed the number of our issued ordinary shares:
| • |
During the year ended December 31, 2019, certain employees, non-employee directors, and consultants exercised share options and restricted share units into 624,467 ordinary shares with an exercise price as set forth in the applicable award
agreement.
|
| • |
During the year ended December 31, 2020, certain employees, non-employee directors, and consultants exercised share options and restricted share units into 861,910 ordinary shares with an exercise price as set forth in the applicable award
agreement.
|
| • |

award agreement.
|
| • |
During the period from January 1, 2022 until March 22, 2022, certain employees, non-employee directors, and consultants exercised share options and restricted share units into 95,964 ordinary shares with an exercise price as set forth in
the applicable award agreement.

We are registering 12,785,917 ordinary shares, of which 7,966,640 ordinary shares were previously acquired by the selling security-holder and up to 4,819,277 ordinary shares are
issuable to the selling security-holder upon conversion of the Note, to permit the selling security-holder and its pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors-in-interest that receive their shares after the date of this prospectus to resell or
otherwise dispose of the ordinary shares in the manner contemplated under “Plan of Distribution” below. For additional information regarding the issuance of the ordinary shares upon conversion of the Note, see
“Description of the Transaction.” In connection with this transaction, we entered into the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which we agreed to file with the SEC a registration statement on
Form F-3 covering the resale of such ordinary shares (from time to time). We are registering the ordinary shares currently held by the selling security-holder and issuable to the selling security-holder upon conversion of the Note in accordance with
the Registration Rights Agreement in order to permit the selling security-holder to offer ordinary shares for resale from time to time.
The following table sets forth the name of the selling security-holder, the number of ordinary shares beneficially owned by the selling security-holder as of April 3, 2022, the
number of ordinary shares that may be offered under this prospectus and the number of ordinary shares beneficially owned by the selling security-holder assuming all of the ordinary shares covered hereby are sold (including the ordinary shares
issuable upon conversion of the Note). Under the terms of the Note, the selling security-holder will not request that all or a portion of the Note held by it be converted, and we are not permitted to effect the conversion of all or a portion of
the Note to the extent that, after giving effect to such issuance after conversion, the selling security-holder (together with its affiliates and any other person or entity acting as a group together with the selling security-holder or any of its
affiliates) would beneficially own ordinary shares in excess of 19.99% of the number of ordinary shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the applicable portion of the
Note; provided, that such percentage may be increased to 24.99% upon 61 days’ notice from the selling security-holder. The number of shares in the table below reflects these limitations. The number of
ordinary shares in the column “Number of Ordinary Shares Being Offered” represents all of the ordinary shares that the selling security-holder may offer under this prospectus. The selling security-holder may sell some, all or none of its ordinary
shares. We do not know how long the selling security-holder will hold the ordinary shares before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the selling security-holder regarding the sale or other
disposition of any of the ordinary shares. The ordinary shares covered hereby may be offered from time to time by the selling security-holder.
The information set forth below is based upon information obtained from the selling security-holder. The percentages of shares owned after the offering are based on
36,587,444 ordinary shares outstanding as of April 3, 2022.

“Beneficial ownership” is a term broadly defined by the SEC in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and includes more than the typical form
of share ownership, that is, shares held in the person’s name. The term also includes what is referred to as “indirect ownership,” meaning ownership of shares as to which a person has or shares voting or investment power. For purposes of
this table, a person or group of persons is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of any securities that such person or group has a right to acquire currently or within 60 days of April 3, 2022.

Note, to permit the selling security-holder and its pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors-in-interest that receive its ordinary shares after the date of this prospectus to resell or otherwise dispose of the ordinary shares in the manner
contemplated in this section. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of ordinary shares in this offering. We will bear all other fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the ordinary shares covered by this
prospectus or in the filing of any amendments or supplements to the registration statement or this prospectus and all other expenses incident to the registration of the ordinary shares. In connection with this transaction, we entered into the
Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which we agreed to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-3 covering the resale of such ordinary shares from time to time. We are registering the ordinary shares currently held by the selling
security-holder and issuable to the selling security-holder upon conversion of the Note in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement in order to permit the selling security-holder to offer ordinary shares for resale from time to time.
The selling security-holder and any of its pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees or other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of
any or all of its ordinary shares or interests in any such shares on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the ordinary shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market
prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. The selling security-holder may use one or more of the following methods when disposing of the
ordinary shares or interests therein:
|
|
•
|
|
on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
|
|
|
•
|
|
in the over-the-counter market;
|
|
|
•
|
|
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
|
|
|
•
|
|
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell ordinary shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
|
|
|
•
|
|
through brokers, dealers or underwriters that may act solely as agents;
|
|
|
•
|
|
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
|
|
|
•
|
|
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
|
|
|
•
|
|
privately negotiated transactions;
|
|
|
•
|
|
delivery of shares in settlement of short sales;
|
|
|
•
|
|
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, whether
through an options exchange or otherwise;
|
|
|
•
|
|
broker-dealers may agree with the selling security-holder to sell a specified number of ordinary shares or interests in such shares at a stipulated price per share;
|
|
|
•
|
|
a combination of any such methods of disposition; and
|
|
|
•
|
|
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling security-holder may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or other exemption from registration under
the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling security-holder may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers, underwriters and other agents may receive
commissions or discounts from the selling security-holder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of ordinary shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling security-holder does not expect these commissions
and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved but any such discounts or commissions might be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved.
The selling security-holder may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the ordinary shares or the Note owned by it and the pledgee or other
secured party, transferee or other successor in interest may sell ordinary shares from time to time under this prospectus, or under a supplement or amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities
Act amending the list of selling security-holder(s) to include the pledgee, secured party, transferee or other successors in interest as selling security-holder under this prospectus. The selling security-holder also may transfer the ordinary
shares in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest may be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus and may sell such ordinary shares from time to time under this
prospectus after an amendment or supplement has been filed under Rule 424(b)(3) under, or another applicable provision of, the Securities Act, amending, if necessary, the list of selling security-holder(s) to include the transferees, donees,
pledgees or other successors-in-interest as a selling security-holder under this prospectus. The Registration Rights Agreement provides that certain transferees of the selling security-holder are entitled to the benefits of such agreement, subject
to the terms and conditions contained therein.
Upon being notified in writing by the selling security-holder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of ordinary shares through a
block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act will be filed, disclosing (i) the
name of each such selling security-holder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of ordinary shares involved, (iii) the price at which such ordinary shares were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed
to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, if applicable, and (vi) other facts material to the
transaction.
The selling security-holder also may transfer the ordinary shares in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the
selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
In connection with the sale of the ordinary shares or interests in such shares, the selling security-holder may enter into hedging transactions after the effective date of the
registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with broker-dealers, other financial institutions and other third parties, which may in turn engage in short sales in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling
security-holder may also sell ordinary shares short after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and deliver these securities to close out its short positions, or loan or pledge the ordinary shares to
broker-dealers or other third parties that in turn may sell these securities. The selling security-holder may also enter into option or other transactions after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part
with broker-dealers, other financial institutions and other third parties or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer, other financial institution and other third parties of ordinary shares offered
by this prospectus, which ordinary shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution or third party may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction if required), including in short sale
transactions. Third parties may use securities pledged by the selling security-holder or borrowed from the selling security-holder or others to settle sales or to close out any related open borrowings of securities, and may use securities received
from the selling security-holder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of securities.
The selling security-holder and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the ordinary shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the
Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the ordinary shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts
under the Securities Act. The maximum commission or discount to be received by any member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), or independent broker-dealer will not be greater than 8% of the initial gross proceeds from the sale
of any security being sold.
There can be no assurance that any selling security-holder will sell any or all of the ordinary shares registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus
forms a part.
We have advised the selling security-holder that it is required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act, during such time as it may be engaged in a
distribution of the ordinary shares. The foregoing may affect the marketability of ordinary shares. The selling security-holder and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act,
and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M under the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the ordinary shares by the selling security-holder and any other participating
person. Regulation M does not, however, limit the ability of the selling security-holder to convert the Note into ordinary shares. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the ordinary shares to engage
in market-making activities with respect to the ordinary shares. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the ordinary shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the ordinary
shares.
The aggregate proceeds to the selling security-holder from the sale of ordinary shares offered by it will be the purchase price of the shares less discounts or commissions, if
any. The selling security-holder reserves the right to accept and, together with its agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from
this offering.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, other than any underwriting fees, discounts and selling commissions, stock transfer taxes
and fees and disbursements of counsel. We have agreed to indemnify the selling security-holder, each person who controls such selling security-holder and their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, members, representatives and
affiliates in certain circumstances against certain losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may become subject, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act.
We have agreed with the selling security-holder under the Registration Rights Agreement to use our commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the ordinary shares constituting
registrable securities under the Registration Rights Agreement are registered for sale under the Securities Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement. Such obligations shall cease and terminate, with respect to such registrable
securities, upon the earlier to occur of (a) such time such registrable securities have been resold pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any similar provisions then in force), or (b) such time that all such
registrable securities are freely transferable without limitation and without restrictions or conditions.
13
We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel. Service of process upon us and upon our directors and executive officers and any Israeli experts named in this
registration statement, most of whom reside outside of the United States, may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Furthermore, because a majority of our assets and most of our directors and executive officers are located outside of the
United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of them may be difficult to collect within the United States.
We have irrevocably appointed Allot Communications, Inc. as our agent to receive service of process in any action against us in any U.S. federal or state court arising out of this
offering or any purchase or sale of securities in connection with this offering.
We have been informed by our Israeli counsel, Goldfarb Seligman & Co., that it may be difficult to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel.
Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on an alleged violation of U.S. securities laws on the basis that Israel is not the most appropriate forum in which to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim,
it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. There is little binding case law in Israel addressing these matters. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proven as a fact
which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law.
Subject to specified time limitations and legal procedures, under the rules of private international law currently prevailing in Israel, Israeli courts may enforce a U.S. judgment
in a civil matter which, subject to certain exceptions, is non-appealable, including a judgment based upon the civil liability provisions of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and including a monetary or compensatory judgment in a non-civil
matter, provided that, among other things, the following key conditions are met:
| • |
the judgment is obtained after due process before a court of competent jurisdiction, according to the laws of the state in which the judgment is given and the judgment is enforceable according to the law of the foreign state in which the
relief was granted;
|
| • |
the obligation imposed by the judgment is enforceable according to the rules relating to the enforceability of judgments in Israel; and
|
| • |
the substance of the judgment and its enforcement is not contrary to the law, public policy, security or sovereignty of the State of Israel.
|
Even if the above conditions are met, an Israeli court will not enforce a U.S. judgment in a civil matter if:
| • |
the judgment was given in a state whose laws do not provide for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts (subject to exceptional cases and a request by the attorney general);
|
| • |
the judgment was obtained by fraud;
|
| • |
the opportunity given to the defendant to bring its arguments and evidence before the court was not reasonable in the opinion of the Israeli court;
|
| • |
the judgment was rendered by a court not competent to render it according to the laws of private international law as they apply in Israel;
|
| • |
the judgment is contradictory to another judgment that was given in the same matter between the same parties and that is still valid; or
|
| • |
at the time the action was brought in the foreign court, a lawsuit in the same matter and between the same parties was pending before a court or tribunal in Israel.
|
If a foreign judgment is enforced by an Israeli court, it generally will be payable in NIS, which can then be converted into non-Israeli currency and transferred out of Israel.
The usual practice in an action before an Israeli court to recover an amount in a non-Israeli currency is for the Israeli court to issue a judgment for the equivalent amount in NIS at the rate of exchange in force on the date of the judgment, but the
judgment debtor may make payment in non-Israeli currency. Pending collection, the amount of the judgment of an Israeli court stated in NIS ordinarily will be linked to the Israeli consumer price index plus interest at the annual statutory rate set
by Israeli regulations prevailing at the time. Judgment creditors must bear the risk of unfavorable exchange rates.

Goldfarb Seligman & Co. will pass upon the validity of the securities being registered hereby and certain other legal matters in connection with the registration of such
securities. White & Case LLP will pass upon certain matters of New York law for us in connection with the registration of certain securities being registered hereby. Additional legal matters may be passed upon for us, any underwriter and any
selling security holders by counsel that we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company appearing in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and the effectiveness of its
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 have been audited by Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their report thereon,
included therein, and incorporated herein by reference. Such consolidated financial statements are incorporated herein by reference in reliance upon such report given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

Available Information
We are subject to the information requirements of the Exchange Act that are applicable to foreign private issuers. Accordingly, we are required to file reports and other
information with the SEC, including annual reports on Form 20-F and disclosure furnished under cover of Form 6-K. The SEC maintains a website (www.sec.gov) that contains reports and other information
regarding issuers, such as us, that file electronically with the SEC. We also maintain a website (www.allot.com), from which you can access such reports and other information free of charge as soon as
reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.
As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt under the Exchange Act from rules prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our officers, directors and principal
shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required under the Exchange Act to file periodic financial statements with the SEC as
frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.
Incorporation by Reference
The SEC’s rules allow us to “incorporate by reference” information into this prospectus, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to another
document filed separately with the SEC. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this prospectus and any applicable prospectus, and later information that we file with the SEC will automatically update and supersede this
information. This prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement incorporate by reference the documents set forth below that have previously been filed with the SEC (other than those documents or the portions of those documents that are
“furnished” unless otherwise specified below):
| • |
| • |
| • |
In addition, any other annual reports on Form 20-F and reports on Form 6-K that we subsequently furnish to the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act prior to the termination of an
offering made pursuant to this prospectus, but excluding any information furnished to, rather than filed with, the SEC, will also be incorporated by reference into this prospectus (if they state that they are incorporated by reference into this
prospectus) and deemed to be part of this registration statement from the date of the filing of such documents.

ITEM 8. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under the Companies Law, a company may not exculpate an office holder from liability for a breach of the duty of loyalty. However, a company may provide certain indemnification
rights as detailed below and obtain insurance for an act performed in breach of the duty of loyalty of an office holder provided that the office holder acted in good faith, the act or its approval does not harm the company, and the office holder
discloses the nature of his or her personal interest in the act and all material facts and documents a reasonable time before discussion of the approval. Our articles of association, in accordance with Israeli law, allow us to exculpate an office
holder, in advance, from liability to us, in whole or in part, for damages caused to us as a result of a breach of duty of care. We may not exculpate a director for liability arising out of a prohibited dividend or distribution to shareholders or
prohibited purchase of its securities.
In accordance with Israeli law, our articles of association allow us to indemnify an office holder in respect of certain liabilities either in advance of an event or following an
event. Under Israeli law, an undertaking provided in advance by an Israeli company to indemnify an office holder with respect to a financial liability imposed on him or her in favor of another person pursuant to a judgment, settlement or
arbitrator’s award approved by a court must be limited to events which in the opinion of the board of directors can be foreseen based on the company’s activities when the undertaking to indemnify is given, and to an amount or according to criteria
determined by the board of directors as reasonable under the circumstances, and such undertaking must detail the above mentioned events and amount or criteria. Our articles of association allow us to undertake in advance to indemnify an office
holder for, among other costs, reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, and certain financial liabilities and obligations, subject to certain restrictions pursuant to the Companies Law.
In accordance with Israeli law, our articles of association allow us to insure an office holder against certain liabilities incurred for acts performed as an office holder,
including certain breaches of duty of loyalty to the company, a breach of duty of care to the company or to another person and certain financial liabilities and obligations imposed on the office holder.
We may not indemnify or insure an office holder against any of the following:
| • |
a breach of duty of loyalty, except to the extent that the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice the company;
|
| • |
a breach of duty of care committed intentionally or recklessly, excluding a breach arising out of the negligent conduct of the office holder;
|
| • |
an act or omission committed with intent to derive illegal personal benefit; or
|
| • |
a fine, civil fine, monetary sanction or forfeit levied against the office holder.
|
Under the Companies Law, exculpation, indemnification and insurance of office holders must be approved by our compensation committee and our board of directors and, in respect of
our directors, the chief executive officer, and any employee or service provider who is considered a controlling shareholder, by our shareholders, provided that changes to existing arrangements may be approved by the audit committee if it approves
that such changes are immaterial.
There are no claims for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance which have been filed in 2021 under our policies and we are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation
or proceeding involving any of our directors or officers in which indemnification is sought.
We have entered into agreements with each of our directors and with certain of our office holders exculpating them, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from liability to us for
damages caused to us as a result of a breach of duty of care, and undertaking to indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by law. This indemnification is limited to events determined as foreseeable by the board of directors based on our
activities, and to an amount or according to criteria determined by the board of directors as reasonable under the circumstances, and the insurance is subject to our discretion depending on its availability, effectiveness and cost. The current
maximum amount set forth in such agreements is the greater of (1) with respect to indemnification in connection with a public offering of our securities, the gross proceeds raised by us and/or any selling shareholder in such public offering, and (2)
with respect to all permitted indemnification, including a public offering of our securities, an amount equal to 50% of the our shareholders’ equity on a consolidated basis, based on our most recent financial statements made publicly available before
the date on which the indemnity payment is made.
In the opinion of the SEC, indemnification of directors and office holders for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy and therefore unenforceable.

ITEM 10. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
| (1) |
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
|
| (i) |
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;
|
| (ii) |
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more
than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
|
| (iii) |
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
|
provided, however, that clauses (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii), and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
| (2) |
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
|
| (3) |
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
|
| (4) |
To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering; provided, however, that a
post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a
post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial
statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Item 8.A
of Form 20-F if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the
Form F-3.
|
II-3
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
| (A) |
Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
|
| (B) |
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of
providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the
date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be
a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration
statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or
prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
|
| (b) |
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
|
| (c) |
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as Israeli counsel to Allot Ltd., an Israeli company (the “Company”), in connection with the resale or
other disposition from time to time by that certain selling security-holder named in the Registration Statement (as defined below) (the “Selling Security-Holder”) of up to 12,785,917
ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.10 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of the Company (the “Shares”). The Shares will be resold or otherwise disposed of by the Selling Security-Holder pursuant to a registration statement to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on or about the date hereof (the “Registration Statement”).
Of the Shares, 7,966,640 Shares were previously acquired by the Selling Security-Holder and 4,819,277 Shares are issuable to the Selling Security-Holder upon conversion of that
certain senior unsecured convertible promissory note (the “Note”) in an aggregate principal amount of $40 million that was issued by the Company to the Selling Security-Holder on February
17, 2022. A form of the Note is being filed as Exhibit 4.3 to the Registration Statement.
This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Items 601(b)(5) and (b)(23) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, and no opinion is expressed herein
as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement, the prospectus that forms a part thereof, any prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) with respect thereto or any 462(b) Registration Statement, other than as expressly
stated herein with respect to the resale of the Shares.
In connection herewith, we have examined and relied without investigation as to matters of fact upon the Registration Statement and exhibits thereto (including the form of the
Note), and such certificates and statements of public officials and officers and representatives of the Company and originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such other documents, corporate records, certificates
and instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinions expressed herein. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures on all documents examined by us, the legal competence and capacity of natural
persons, the authenticity of documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity with authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies.
Based upon the foregoing, in reliance thereon and subject to the assumptions, comments, qualifications, limitations and exceptions stated herein, we are of the opinion that the
Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and, in respect of those Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Note, upon such conversion in
accordance with the terms of the Note will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We are members of the Israel Bar and we express no opinion as to any matter relating to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of Israel.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and any 462(b) Registration Statement, and the references to this firm in the
sections entitled “Legal Matters” and “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities” in the Registration Statement, the prospectus that forms a part thereof or any prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) with respect thereto. This consent is not to be
construed as an admission that we are a party whose consent is required to be filed as part of the Registration Statement or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement under the provisions of the Securities Act.

Sincerely,
