The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 1”). This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

The Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases, except as otherwise noted.

The aggregate purchase price of the 43,945 Ordinary Shares owned directly by Outerbridge Partners is approximately $674,108, excluding brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the call options referencing 360,000 Ordinary Shares held by Outerbridge Partners that are currently exercisable is approximately $259,200, excluding brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 141,000 Ordinary Shares owned directly by Outerbridge SOF II is approximately $2,308,962, excluding brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 617,742 Ordinary Shares owned directly by QVT Fund is approximately $10,943,101, excluding brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 815,085 Ordinary Shares held in the Accounts, which Outerbridge Capital may be deemed to beneficially own, is approximately $11,638,514, excluding brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the call options referencing 620,000 Ordinary Shares held by the Accounts that are currently exercisable, which Outerbridge Capital may be deemed to beneficially own, is approximately $803,000, excluding brokerage commissions.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

The Reporting Persons are pleased with the rate and quality of new customer wins for the Issuer’s Allot Secure and 5G NetProtect cybersecurity offerings, and are encouraged by the Issuer’s increased efforts to highlight its cybersecurity business to investors, including at its inaugural Investor Day held on May 11, 2021. These and other developments, combined with continued strong execution in the Issuer’s core network visibility business, have bolstered the Reporting Persons’ belief in the Issuer’s significant undervaluation and growth prospects.

The Reporting Persons believe the Issuer is the market leader in network-based, operator-delivered, security-as-a-service (SECaaS) for consumers, and believe that demand for these solutions is at an inflection point. The Reporting Persons note that the Issuer has forecasted 400% revenue growth, to $25 million, for its Allot Secure SECaaS product line in its 2022 Fiscal Year; based on this and on developments in the cybersecurity market broadly, the Reporting Persons believe that $100 million or more of Allot Secure revenue is attainable in the Issuer’s 2024 Fiscal Year.

The Reporting Persons further believe the Issuer is the market leader in distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) and botnet protection for 5G Open RAN networks with its NetProtect offering, and that operator deployments and subscriber density on these networks are set to accelerate sharply. Based on this, the Reporting Persons believe that NetProtect may also generate $100 million or more of annual revenue in the coming years.

The Reporting Persons believe the present value of these opportunities, combined with the Issuer’s healthy core business and cash balances, significantly exceeds $1 billion.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Items 5(a) – (c) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

The aggregate percentage of Ordinary Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 35,623,246 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of February 20, 2021, which is the total number of Ordinary Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 15, 2021.
