SECTION 1 – CONFLICT MINERALS DISCLOSURE

 

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

 

Introduction

This Specialized Disclosure Form (“Form SD”) of Allot Ltd. (the “Company,” “we,” or “us”) is filed pursuant to Rule 13p-1 (the “Rule”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2021.

 

The Rule requires disclosure of certain information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products (“Covered Products”) for which the minerals specified in the Rule are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. The specified minerals are gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten (collectively, the “Conflict Minerals”), that originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) and certain adjoining countries (collectively with the DRC, the “Covered Countries”).

For the Covered Products, the registrant must conduct in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry designed to determine whether any of the Conflict Minerals originated in the Covered Countries.  If, based on such inquiry, a registrant knows or has reason to believe that any of the Conflict Minerals contained in its Covered Products originated or may have originated in a Covered Country and that such Conflict Minerals are not or may not be solely from recycled or scrap sources, the registrant must conduct due diligence with respect to the source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals to determine the origin of such Conflict Minerals and whether they directly or indirectly financed or benefited armed groups in the Covered Countries.

Conclusion Based on Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

In accordance with the Rule, the Company has concluded in good faith that during the year ended December 31, 2021:

On the basis of these conclusions, the Company proceeded to exercise due diligence with respect to the source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals contained in its Covered Products. The Conflict Minerals Report describing the Company’s due diligence efforts is attached as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD for the reporting period from January 1 to December 31, 2021.  This Conflict Minerals Report has not been subject to an independent private sector audit.

Countries of origin identified as a result of the Company’s reasonable country of origin inquiry include, to the extent known, India, United Arab Emirates, United States of America, Republic of Korea, Uganda, Lithuania, Italy, Chile, Germany, Australia, Russian Federation, Malaysia, Zambia, South Africa, Austria, Andorra, France, Kazakhstan, Brazil, Belgium, Netherlands, Sudan, China (Mainland), Taiwan, Zimbabwe, Poland, Thailand, Czech Republic, New Zealand, Japan, Switzerland, Spain, Canada, Indonesia, Uzbekistan, Turkey, Mexico, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Kyrgyzstan, Sweden, Philippines, Macedonia, Myanmar, Vietnam, Bolivia, Peru and Estonia.
