If we convert to a virtual only meeting format, we will announce the decision to do so in advance in a Form 6-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). As always, we encourage you to vote your ordinary shares prior to the Annual Meeting.

At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s shareholders will be asked to consider and vote on the matters listed in the enclosed Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Notice”). Allot’s board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” each proposal listed in the Notice. Management will also report on the affairs of the Company, and a discussion period will be provided for questions and comments of general interest to shareholders.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, it is important that your ordinary shares be represented and voted at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, after reading the enclosed Notice and proxy statement, please sign, date and mail the enclosed proxy card in the envelope provided or vote by telephone or, if you hold your shares in street name and the proxy card allows this, over the Internet in accordance with the instructions on your proxy card, or vote through the Israel Securities Authority’s electronic voting system.

We urge all of our shareholders to review our annual report on Form 20-F and our quarterly results of operations furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K, all of which are available on our website at www.allot.com or on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

PROXY STATEMENT

2021 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

 

ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

 

Q:          When and where is the 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders being held?

 

 

Q:          Who can attend the Annual Meeting?

 

 

Q:          Who is entitled to vote?

 

 

Joint holders of ordinary shares should note that, pursuant to Article 32.4 of the Company’s Articles of Association, the right to vote at the Annual Meeting will be conferred exclusively upon the “senior” among the joint owners attending the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, and for this purpose, seniority will be determined by the order in which the names appear in the Company’s register of shareholders.

HOW TO VOTE YOUR SHARES

 

Q:          How do I vote?

 

 

If you hold shares through a member of the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange, you may vote through the Israel Securities Authority’s electronic voting system. The Israel Securities Authority has set up an electronic voting system for shareholder meetings of publicly-listed Israeli companies via its MAGNA online platform. Following a registration process, you will be able to vote your shares through such system no later than six hours before the time fixed for the Annual Meeting.

 

You may vote in person. Ballots will be passed out at the Annual Meeting to anyone who wants to vote at the Annual Meeting. If you choose to do so, please bring the enclosed proxy card or proof of identification. If you are a shareholder of record and your shares are held directly in your name, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting. However, if your shares are held in “street name,” you must first obtain a signed proxy from the record holder (that is, your bank, broker or other nominee) in order to vote at the Annual Meeting.

 

“Street name” holders may be able to vote by phone or through an Internet website in accordance with instructions included on their proxy cards.

 

 

 

Shareholders of Record

 

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company of New York, New York, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record. In such case, these proxy materials are being sent directly to you. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

 

“Street Name” Beneficial Owners

 

If your shares are held through a bank, broker or other nominee, they are considered to be held in “street name” and you are the beneficial owner. If your shares are held in street name, these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your bank, broker or other nominee, which is considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct the bank, broker or nominee how to vote your shares for the Annual Meeting. You also may attend the Annual Meeting. However, because you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting, unless you first obtain a “legal proxy” from the record holder (that is, your bank, broker or other nominee) giving you the right to vote the shares. Your bank, broker or nominee has enclosed a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the bank, broker or nominee regarding how to vote your shares.

 

Brokers that hold shares in “street name” for clients typically have authority to vote on “routine” proposals even when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners. The only item on the Annual Meeting agenda that may be considered routine is Proposal 6 relating to the reappointment of Allot’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021; however, we cannot be certain whether this will be treated as a routine matter since our proxy statement is prepared in compliance with the Israel Companies Law rather than the rules applicable to domestic U.S. reporting companies. Therefore, it is important for a shareholder that holds ordinary shares through a bank, broker or other nominee to instruct such bank, broker or other nominee how to vote its shares, if the shareholder wants its shares to count for the proposals.

 

Q:          Does Allot recommend I vote in advance of the Annual Meeting?

 

 

Q:          If I vote by proxy, can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?

 

 

 

 

 

If you hold shares through a bank, broker or other nominee, you must contact that firm to revoke any prior voting instructions.

 

Q:          How are my votes cast when I submit a proxy vote?

 

 

Upon the receipt of a properly submitted proxy card, which is received in time (by 2:30 p.m., Israel Time, on November 29, 2021, 24 hours prior to the Annual Meeting) and not revoked prior to the Annual Meeting, or which is presented to the chairperson at the Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote the ordinary shares represented thereby at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the Board’s recommendations as indicated in the instructions outlined on the proxy card.

 

Q:          What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

 

ABOUT THE VOTING PROCEDURE AT THE ANNUAL MEETING

Q:          What constitutes a quorum?

 

 

Ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a bank, broker or other holder of record holding shares for a beneficial owner submits a proxy card but does not vote on a particular proposal because that holder does not have discretionary voting power for that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Abstentions and broker non‑votes will be counted as present in determining if a quorum is present.

 

Q:          What happens if a quorum is not present?

 

 

Q:          How will votes be counted?

 

 

On all matters considered at the Annual Meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be treated as either a vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the matter.

 

 

 

Each of Proposals 2 (reelection of Manuel Echanove as a director), 3 (reelection of Yigal Jacoby as a director), and 6 (reappointment of independent registered public accounting firm) requires that a simple majority of the ordinary shares of the Company voted in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting on the matter presented for passage be voted “FOR” the adoption of the proposal.

 

Proposals 4 (election of Efrat Makov as an Outside Director) and 5 (approval of the grant of 40,000 RSUs of the Company to the CEO) require, in addition to the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the ordinary shares of the Company voted in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting on the proposal, that either: (1) a simple majority of shares voted at the Annual Meeting, excluding the shares of controlling shareholders and of shareholders who have a personal interest in the approval of the resolution, be voted “FOR” the proposed resolution or (2) the total number of shares of non-controlling shareholders and of shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the resolution voted against approval of the resolution does not exceed 2% of the outstanding voting power in the Company.

 

The term “controlling shareholder” means a shareholder having the ability to direct the activities of a company, other than by virtue of being an office holder. A shareholder is presumed to be a Controlling Shareholder if the shareholder holds 50% or more of the voting rights in a company or has the right to appoint the majority of the directors of the company or its general manager.

Under the Israel Companies Law, a “personal interest” of a shareholder (i) includes a personal interest of the shareholder and any member of the shareholder’s family, family members of the shareholder’s spouse, or a spouse of any of such family members, or a personal interest of a company with respect to which the shareholder (or such family member) serves as a director or chief executive officer, owns at least 5% of the shares or has the right to appoint a director or chief executive officer, and (ii) excludes an interest arising solely from the ownership of our ordinary shares. Under the Israel Companies Law, in the case of a person voting by proxy for another person, “personal interest” includes a personal interest of either the proxy holder or the shareholder granting the proxy, whether or not the proxy holder has discretion how to vote. If you do not have a personal interest in this matter, you may assume that using the form of proxy enclosed herewith will not create a personal interest. To avoid confusion, in the form of proxy card, we refer to such a personal interest as a “personal benefit or other interest”.

The Israel Companies Law requires that each shareholder voting on the proposal indicate whether or not the shareholder is a controlling shareholder or has a personal interest in the proposed resolution. The enclosed form of proxy includes a box you can mark to confirm that you are not a “controlling shareholder” and do not have a personal interest in this matter. If you do not mark this box, your vote will not be counted.

If you are unable to make this confirmation, please contact the Company’s General Counsel for guidance at +972-9-761-9200; if you hold your shares in “street name,” you may also contact the representative managing your account, who could contact us on your behalf.

 

Q:          How will my shares be voted if I do not provide instructions on the proxy card?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you are a beneficial owner of shares and do not specify how you want to vote, your shares will be included in determining the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting, but will not be considered as present and entitled to vote on any matter to be considered at the Annual Meeting. If your shares are held of record by a bank, broker, or other nominee, we urge you to give instructions to your bank, broker, or other nominee as to how you wish your shares to be voted so you may participate in the shareholder voting on these important matters.

Q:          Who will bear the costs of solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting?

Each of our shareholders has identical voting rights with respect to its shares.

 

______________

 

 

 

 

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our ordinary shares as of the Record Date, by (i) each of our directors and nominees, (ii) each of our executive officers and (iii) all of our executive officers and directors serving as of the Record Date, as a group.

# Outgoing Outside Director.

 

## Outside Director Nominee.

 

* Represents less than one percent of the outstanding ordinary shares.

 (1)  As used in this table, “beneficial ownership” is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and consists of either or both voting or investment power with respect to securities. For purposes of this table, a person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities that can be acquired within 60 days from the Record Date through the exercise of any option or vesting of any RSU. Ordinary shares subject to options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days, or RSUs that will become vested within 60 days, are deemed outstanding for computing the ownership percentage of the person holding such options or RSUs, but are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the ownership percentage of any other person. Except as otherwise indicated, the persons named in the table have reported that they have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by them. The amounts and percentages are based upon 36,405,729 ordinary shares outstanding as of the Record Date pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) under the Exchange Act.

 

As of the Record Date, our directors and executive officers held, in the aggregate, 1,215,686 ordinary shares subject to outstanding equity awards (including outstanding options and unvested RSUs), which amount includes options currently exercisable for 478,757 ordinary shares. The options (excluding RSUs) have a weighted average exercise price of $8.06 per share and have expiration dates until 2025. Further, 370,639 ordinary shares remained reserved for future grants under our 2016 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”).

 

COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Following the Annual Meeting, assuming the reelection of Manuel Echanove as a director under Proposal 2, the reelection of Yigal Jacoby as a director under Proposal 3 and the election of Efrat Makov as an Outside Director under Proposal 4, our Board will consist of seven directors. Our Articles of Association provide that our Board may consist of up to nine directors. During the year ended December 31, 2020, each director attended in excess of 75% of all Board meetings and in excess of 75% of the meetings of each committee of the Board on which he or she serves.

Under our Articles of Association, our directors (other than our Outside Directors) are divided into three classes. Each class of directors consists, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board (other than our Outside Directors). At each annual meeting of our shareholders, the election or reelection of directors following the expiration of the term of office of the directors of that class of directors is for a term of office that expires on the third annual meeting following such election or reelection, such that each year the term of office of one class of directors expires. See Proposal 1 for a proposed change to our Articles of Association in this respect.

If reelected, our Class III director nominees will hold office until the annual meeting of our shareholders in 2024 (or, if Proposal 1 is approved, until the 2022 annual meeting of shareholders). Our current Class II directors, Itzhak Danziger and Miron Kenneth, will hold office until the annual meeting of our shareholders in 2023.

Levy, age 65, has served as an outside director since 2007.  Mr. Levy served as a Managing Director and Global Head of Communications Technology Research at Lehman Brothers, a global financial services firm, from 1998 to 2005. Before joining Lehman Brothers, Mr. Levy was a Director of Telecommunications Research at Salomon Brothers, an American investment bank, from 1997 to 1998, Managing Director and Head of the Communications Research Team at Oppenheimer & Co., a global full-service brokerage and investment bank from 1994 to 1997 and a senior communications analyst at Hambrecht & Quist, a California-based investment bank, from 1986 to 1994. Mr. Levy has served as a director of PCTEL, a broadband wireless technology company, since 2006 and has served as a director of Edison Properties, a privately held U.S. real estate company, since 2018.  Mr. Levy previously served as a director of privately held GENBAND Inc., a U.S. provider of telecommunications equipment. Mr. Levy holds a B.Sc. in Materials Engineering and an M.B.A., both from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

Director Independence

Under the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market, a majority of our directors must meet the independence requirements specified in those rules. Following the Annual Meeting, assuming the election of all nominees, our Board will consist of seven members, all of whom will be independent under the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market, as determined by our Board. In reaching that conclusion, our Board has determined that none of these directors or nominees has a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. None of our directors is a member of our executive team.

MATTERS SUBMITTED TO SHAREHOLDERS

APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO OUR ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION TO DECLASSIFY OUR BOARD

Background

We are proposing to amend our Articles of Association to eliminate the staggered nature of our Board. At the time of our initial public offering in 2006, the Company established a classified board structure because such structure offered certain advantages to the Company, such as providing continuity and stability, encouraging directors to employ a long-term perspective and ensuring that a majority of the Board will always have prior experience with the Company. While there are valid arguments in favor of a classified board structure, the Board believes that corporate governance standards have evolved and that annual elections of directors will enhance directors’ accountability to shareholders and will provide the Company’s shareholders with the opportunity to express their views on the performance of the entire Board on an annual basis. After careful consideration, the Board determined that it is appropriate and in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to propose amendments to our Articles of Association to eliminate the classified structure of the Board.

 

Under our current Articles of Association, our directors (other than outside directors, whose appointments are required under the Israel Companies Law) are divided into three classes. Each class of directors consists, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of directors constituting the entire board of directors (other than the outside directors). At each annual general meeting of our shareholders, the election or reelection of directors following the expiration of the term of office of that class of directors is for a term of office that expires as of the third annual general meeting following such election or reelection, such that each year the term of office of only one class of directors will expire.

We are proposing to amend and restate our Articles of Association to eliminate the different classes of members of our Board and to set term of each director who is elected or reelected at or after the Annual Meeting (other than outside directors, who shall continue to serve in accordance with the Israel Companies Law) to be one (1) year each, effective immediately. The then-current terms of all directors serving prior to the Annual Meeting shall continue until their completion.

Specifically, we propose to amend Article 39.3 of our Articles of Association in its entirety as follows (additions are underlined, deletions are struck through):

 “39.3 Subject to the provisions of Articles 40 and 41, the members of the Board of Directors of the Company shall be elected by an Ordinary Resolution in a General Meeting, according to the following conditions:

 

 

 

 

Proposed Resolution

“1.          RESOLVED, that the Company’s Articles of Association be amended and restated, as set forth in the Proxy Statement.”

Board Recommendation THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ADOPTION OF THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION.

ELECTION OF EFRAT MAKOV AS AN OUTSIDE DIRECTOR

Background

As an Israeli company (unless we affirmatively opt out of such requirement (as permitted under the Israel Companies Law)), we are required to have a minimum of two directors who meet certain independence and other criteria established by the Israel Companies Law. These directors are referred to as “Outside Directors.” All of our Outside Directors are required to serve on our audit committee and our compensation and nomination committee, each of which was formed in accordance with the Israel Companies Law and the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market, and at least one Outside Director is required to serve on each other committee of our board of directors.

According to the Israel Companies Law, subject to relief under certain circumstances for companies whose shares are traded on a securities exchange outside of Israel, at least one of the Outside Directors must have “accounting and financial expertise” and the other Outside Director must have either “accounting and financial expertise” or “professional qualifications,” as such terms are defined by regulations promulgated under the Israel Companies Law. Both Mr. Levy and Ms. Makov qualify as having relevant accounting and financial expertise.

Outside Directors must be elected by the shareholders by a special majority, as described above. The term of service of an Outside Director is three years and may be extended for up to two additional three-year terms; thereafter, an Outside Director may be reelected by our shareholders for additional periods of up to three years each only if our audit committee and our Board confirm that, in light of the Outside Director’s expertise and special contribution to the work of the Board and its committees, the reelection for such additional period is beneficial to the Company.

The Company’s current Outside Directors are Steven Levy and Nurit Benjamini, each of whom were initially elected as Outside Directors in 2007. Mr. Levy was most recently reelected to serve as an Outside Director until August 14, 2022. Ms. Benjamini’s term as an Outside Director expires on February 20, 2022 or until her office is vacated in accordance with our Articles of Association or the Israel Companies Law, but Ms. Benjamini announced that commencing from the date of this Annual Meeting she will not be seeking reelection as an Outside Director.  Assuming the election of Ms. Makov as an Outside Director upon the approval of this Proposal 4, Ms. Benjamini’s term will expire at the Annual Meeting, and Ms. Makov will serve as an Outside Director commencing from such date. Ms. Makov has advised the Company that she is willing to serve as a director if elected, that she has the qualifications and time required for the performance of her duties as a director, and that there are no legal restrictions preventing her from assuming such office.

Biographical information concerning Efrat Makov, the nominee for election as an Outside Director, is set forth above.

Our Board has determined that Efrat Makov satisfies the requirements for an Outside Director under the Israel Companies Law and the independence requirements under the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market and as having financial and accounting expertise under the Israel Companies Law.

If elected at the Annual Meeting, Ms. Makov will receive annual cash compensation and per-meeting attendance fees in accordance with the Israel Companies Regulations (Rules Regarding Compensation and Expenses to Outside Directors), 2000. Ms. Makov will also be entitled to receive the equity compensation approved by our shareholders at our annual meeting held on April 27, 2017 to be paid to our directors. Specifically, Ms. Makov will be granted 20,000 RSUs under the Plan, vesting over a period of three years subject to Ms. Makov being reelected and continuing to serve as a director over such period, with 1/12 of the RSUs vesting at the end of each three-month period from the date of their grant (which shall be the date of the Annual Meeting), with the vesting of said RSUs accelerated upon certain mergers and acquisitions involving the Company.

Proposed Resolution

You are requested to adopt the following resolution:

“4.          RESOLVED, that Efrat Makov be elected as an Outside Director, to serve for a term of three years commencing as of the Annual Meeting, or until her office is vacated in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association or the Israel Companies Law, 5759-1999.”

APPROVAL OF A ONE-TIME GRANT OF 40,000 RSUs OF THE COMPANY TO EREZ ANTEBI, OUR CEO

Background

The Company’s compensation and nomination committee approved, and recommended to the Board for approval, and the Board approved, contingent upon the approval of this Proposal 5 by our shareholders at the Annual Meeting, a one-time grant of 40,000 RSUs with an exercise price of NIS 0.01 per unit to Mr. Erez Antebi, our CEO. If this Proposal 5 is approved by our shareholders at the Annual Meeting, the RSUs will be granted effective as of the date of the Annual Meeting and will vest in three equal annual installments commencing with the first anniversary of February 8, 2021, the date of the Company’s Board of Directors’ resolution approving this grant.

We strive to provide a mix of compensation that supports a pay-for-performance culture and emphasizes long-term incentives. Our executive compensation packages have historically included equity grants, which we believe to be effective tools in aligning performance with compensation.

We have designed our CEO’s compensation package, including the proposed grant, with the objective of aligning a significant portion of his compensation with shareholder interests and long-term corporate performance. Our long-term success depends, in part, on our ability to continue to retain our CEO, who has been, and is expected to remain, vital to the Company’s short- and long-term success. Accordingly, a significant portion of the CEO’s pay package consists of long-term equity incentive compensation. Our compensation and nominating committee and Board have structured Mr. Antebi’s equity compensation to vest over extended periods, thus emphasizing long-term growth and vision rather than short-term gains, while motivating retention of a talented executive.

The proposed grant is intended to keep our CEO’s total annual compensation package competitive and appropriate for the role of a CEO of a technology company of our size and scope, while continuing to align his interests closely with those of our shareholders.

 We believe that the resulting compensation package closely aligns Company performance with shareholder interests and enables us to promote the long-term retention of a key contributor to our success.

Our compensation and nominating committee and Board believe that it is in the best interest of our shareholders and the Company to grant Mr. Antebi the proposed grant of RSUs, thereby ensuring a competitive and industry-conscious equity compensation package. If this Proposal 5 is not approved at the Annual Meeting, it could ultimately impede our ability to retain a highly-qualified CEO who remains critical to leading the Company towards long-term success and to incentivize him to continue delivering value to our shareholders.

 

The compensation and nominating committee and the Board are committed to responsible management of earnings-per-share dilution as the Company must balance the requirements associated with its equity compensation program during its growth stage with the effect on dilution. Therefore, the compensation and nominating committee and the Board continue to review the Company’s equity compensation practices to ensure that they remain in line with evolving regulatory conditions and changes in best practices. The Company remains focused on open and ongoing dialogue with its shareholders and welcomes regular feedback regarding its compensation policies.

The Israeli Companies Law requires that this grant be approved by the compensation and nomination committee, the Board and the shareholders of the Company, in that order. The Company’s compensation and nomination committee and the Board have approved the compensation described above as being consistent with the Company’s Compensation Policy, and the proposed compensation now requires approval by the Company’s shareholders.

Proposed Resolution

You are requested to adopt the following resolution:

“5.          RESOLVED, that the one-time grant of 40,000 RSUs to Erez Antebi as of the date of the Annual Meeting is hereby approved.”

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy and voting thereon is required to adopt the foregoing resolution, provided that either:
