We urge you to consider that statements which use the terms “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  We remind readers that forward-looking statements are merely predictions and therefore inherently subject to uncertainties and other factors and involve known and unknown risks that could cause the actual results, including revenues from agreements we signed, expansion of our operations, development and release of new products, performance, levels of activity, our achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, plans to expand our operations, plans to develop and release new products, performance, levels of activity, or our achievements, or industry results, expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise and we disclaim any obligation to publicly revise any such statements to reflect any change in expectations or in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statements may be based. To the extent forward-looking statements that we incorporate by reference express views as to particular events, conditions or circumstances that may conflict or be inconsistent with each other, the most recent such statement supersedes earlier views.

Our ability to predict the results of our operations or the effects of various events on our operating results is inherently uncertain.  Therefore, we caution you to consider carefully the matters described under the caption “Risk Factors” below and certain other matters discussed in this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, and other publicly available sources.  Such factors and many other factors beyond the control of our management could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

RISK FACTORS
 
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected by any of these risks. If any of these risks occur, the value of our ordinary shares and our other securities may decline.

DESCRIPTION OF ORDINARY SHARES
 
General

Our authorized share capital consists of 32,500,000 ordinary shares of a nominal value of NIS 0.4 each, which entitle their holders to notice of and to participate in and to vote one vote per ordinary share at shareholder meetings, the right to receive dividends upon the declaration of dividends by the board of directors and the right to participate in the distribution of our assets upon liquidation. The shares do not entitle their holders to preemptive rights.

As of July 14, 2015, we had outstanding (i) 16,225,825 ordinary shares, (ii) employee stock options to purchase an aggregate of 1,860,643 ordinary shares at a weighted average exercise price of approximately $7.99 per share, with the latest expiration date of these options being July 14, 2021 (of which, options to purchase 889,208  of our ordinary shares were exercisable within 60 days of July 14, 2015), and (iii) outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 19,701 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.48 per share, which expire on July 29, 2015.  In addition, we may be obligated under the Merger Agreement to issue additional ordinary shares, as described under “Selling Shareholders” below.

From July 14, 2014 through July 14, 2015, we issued a total of 1,046,629 ordinary shares, of which (i) 19,703 shares were issued in connection with exercise of warrants issued to former lenders, (ii) 61,500 shares were issued in connection with our acquisition of Hayes Technology Group, Inc. in December 2013, (iii) 581,862 shares were issued in connection with our acquisition of Appfluent Technology, Inc., or Appfluent, in March 2015; and (iv) 383,564 shares were issued upon the exercise of options granted under our share option plans.
 
The following description of our ordinary shares and certain provisions of our memorandum and articles of association and of the Israeli Companies Law related to such provisions is only a summary. The description below is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our memorandum and articles of association, which are incorporated herein by reference and to Israeli law.

Rights Attached to Shares

Dividend rights. Subject to any preferential, deferred, qualified or other rights, privileges or conditions that may be attached to any special class of shares with regard to dividends, our profits available for dividends and resolved to be distributed shall be applied in payment of dividends upon our shares in proportion to the amount paid up or credited as paid-up per the nominal value thereon, respectively. Unless otherwise specified in the conditions of issuance of the shares, all dividends with respect to shares which were not fully paid up within a certain period, for which dividends were paid, shall be paid proportionally to the amounts paid or credited as paid on the nominal value of the shares during any portion of the abovementioned period.  Our Board of Directors may declare interim dividends and propose the final dividend with respect to any fiscal year only out of profits legally available for distribution, in accordance with the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law. In this respect, see Item 8.A “Financial Information – Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information – Dividend Distribution Policy” of our Annual Report, which is incorporated herein by reference.  If after one year a dividend has been declared and it is still unclaimed, our Board of Directors is entitled to invest or utilize the unclaimed amount of dividend in any manner to our benefit until it is claimed. We are not obligated to pay interest on an unclaimed dividend.

Voting rights. Holders of ordinary shares have one vote for each ordinary share held on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. Such voting rights may be affected by the grant of any special voting rights to the holders of a class of shares with preferential rights that may be authorized in the future.

Rights to share in profits. Our shareholders have the right to share in our profits distributed as a dividend and any other permitted distribution. See “Dividend rights” above.

Rights to share in surplus in the event of liquidation. In the event of our liquidation, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors, our assets will be distributed to the holders of ordinary shares in proportion to the nominal value of their holdings. This right may be affected by the grant of preferential dividend or distribution rights to the holders of a class of shares with preferential rights that may be authorized in the future.

Liability to capital calls by us. Under our memorandum and articles of association as well as the Israeli Companies Law, the liability of our shareholders is limited to the unpaid amount of the par value of the shares held by them.

Limitations on any existing or prospective major shareholder. Israeli law imposes certain duties and limitations on principal shareholders, such as a duty of fairness toward the company and requirements of special corporate approvals for transactions with principal shareholders or in which they have a personal interest.  See Item 6.C “Directors, Senior Management and Employees – Board Practices – Approval of Related Party Transactions Under Israeli Law” and Item 10.B “Memorandum and Articles of Association” of our Annual Report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Changing Rights Attached to Shares

The rights attached to any class of shares (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issuance of the shares of that class) may be varied with the consent in writing of the holders of all the issued shares of that class, or with the sanction of a vote at a meeting of the shareholders passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of the class by a majority of the voting rights of such class represented at the meeting in person or by proxy and voting thereon.

Under our articles of association, unless otherwise provided by the conditions of issuance, the enlargement of an existing class of shares, or the issuance of additional shares thereof, shall not be deemed to modify or abrogate the rights attached to the previously issued shares of such class or of any other class.

Shareholders Meetings

Our Board of Directors must convene an annual meeting of shareholders at least once every calendar year, within fifteen months of the last annual meeting. A special meeting of shareholders may be convened by our Board of Directors, as it decides.

The Companies Law generally allows shareholders (1) who hold at least 1% of the outstanding shares of a public company to submit a proposal for inclusion on the agenda of a general meeting of the company’s shareholders and (2) who hold at least 5% of the outstanding ordinary shares of a public company to convene a special meeting of shareholders upon request in accordance with the Companies Law. Our articles of association contain procedural guidelines and disclosure items with respect to the submission of shareholder proposals for shareholders meetings.

In accordance with our articles of association, unless a longer period for notice is prescribed by the Israeli Companies Law, at least 10 days and not more than 60 days’ notice of any general meeting of shareholders shall be given. Under the Companies Law, shareholder meetings generally require prior notice of not less than 21 days or, with respect to certain matters, such as election of directors and affiliated party transactions, not less than 35 days.

The quorum required at any meeting of shareholders consists of at least two shareholders present in person or represented by proxy who hold or represent, in the aggregate, at least 25% of the total voting rights in the Company. A meeting adjourned for lack of a quorum generally is adjourned to the same day in the following week at the same time and place or any time and place as the directors designate in a notice to the shareholders. If, at such adjourned meeting, a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for holding the meeting, any two shareholders present in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum, except with respect to adjourned shareholder meetings convened for shareholder proposals.

Under our articles of association, all resolutions require approval of no less than a majority of the voting rights represented at the meeting in person or by proxy and voting thereon, except that certain provisions of our articles of association relating to shareholder proposals and election and removal of directors would require a special majority of two thirds (66.66%) or more of the voting power represented at the meeting in person or by proxy and voting thereon.

Pursuant to our articles of association, our directors (except outside directors) are elected at our annual general meeting of shareholders by a vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented and voting at such meeting. See below under “Duties of Shareholders” and Item 6.C “Directors, Senior Management and Employees – Board Practices – Election of Directors; Board Meetings” of our Annual Report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Limitations on the Rights to Own Securities in Our Company

Neither our memorandum of association or our articles of association nor the laws of the State of Israel restrict in any way the ownership or voting of shares by non-residents, except with respect to subjects of countries which are in a state of war with Israel.

Duties of Shareholders

Disclosure by Controlling Shareholders. Under the Companies Law, the disclosure requirements that apply to an office holder also apply to a controlling shareholder of a public company. A controlling shareholder is a shareholder who has the ability to direct the activities of a company, including a shareholder that owns 25% or more of the voting rights if no other shareholder owns more than 50% of the voting rights, but excluding a shareholder whose power derives solely from his or her position on the board of directors or any other position with the company.

Approval of Certain Transactions. Extraordinary transactions with a controlling shareholder or in which a controlling shareholder has a personal interest, and the engagement of a controlling shareholder as an office holder or employee (including compensation therefor), generally require the approval of the audit committee (or compensation committee with respect to engagement as an office holder or employee), the board of directors and the shareholders, in that order. The shareholder approval must include at least a majority of the shares of non-interested shareholders voted on the matter. However, the transaction can be approved by shareholders without this special approval if the total shares of non-interested shareholders that voted against the transaction do not represent more than 2% of the voting rights in the company. In addition, any such extraordinary transaction whose term is longer than three years may require further shareholder approval every three years, unless, where permissible under the Companies Law, the audit committee approves that a longer term is reasonable under the circumstances.  With respect to approval of compensation to directors and executive officers, see also Item 6.C “Directors, Senior Management and Employees – Board Practices – Approval of Related Party Transactions Under Israeli Law” of our Annual Report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

General Duties of Shareholders. In addition, under the Companies Law, each shareholder has a duty to act in good faith toward the company and other shareholders and to refrain from abusing his or her power in the company, such as in shareholder votes. In addition, specified shareholders have a duty of fairness toward the company. These shareholders include any controlling shareholder, any shareholder who knows that it possesses the power to determine the outcome of a shareholder vote and any shareholder who, pursuant to the provisions of the articles of association, has the power to appoint or prevent the appointment of an office holder or any other power with respect to the company. However, the Companies Law does not define the substance of this duty of fairness.

Provisions Restricting Change in Control of Our Company

Except for (1) establishing advance notice and procedural guidelines and disclosure items with respect to the submission of shareholder proposals for shareholders meetings, and (2) requiring a special majority voting in order to amend certain provisions of our articles of association relating to shareholder proposals and election and removal of directors, there are no specific provisions of our memorandum or articles of association that would have an effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Attunity or that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving us (or any of our subsidiaries). However, as described below, certain provisions of the Companies Law may have such effect.

The Companies Law includes provisions that allow a merger transaction and requires that each company that is a party to the merger have the transaction approved by its board of directors and a vote of the majority of its shares. For purposes of the shareholder vote of each party, unless a court rules otherwise, the merger will not be deemed approved if shares representing a majority of the voting power present at the shareholders meeting and which are not held by the other party to the merger (or by any person who holds 25% or more of the voting power or the right to appoint 25% or more of the directors of the other party) vote against the merger. Upon the request of a creditor of either party to the proposed merger, the court may delay or prevent the merger if it concludes that there exists a reasonable concern that as a result of the merger the surviving company will be unable to satisfy the obligations of any of the parties to the merger. In addition, a merger may not be completed unless at least (1) 50 days have passed from the time that the requisite proposals for approval of the merger were filed with the Israeli Registrar of Companies by each merging company and (2) 30 days have passed since the merger was approved by the shareholders of each merging company.

The Companies Law also provides that an acquisition of shares in a public company must be made by means of a “special” tender offer if as a result of the acquisition (1) the purchaser would become a 25% or greater shareholder of the company, unless there is already another 25% or greater shareholder of the company or (2) the purchaser would become a 45% or greater shareholder of the company, unless there is already a 45% or greater shareholder of the company. These requirements do not apply if, in general, the acquisition (1) was made in a private placement that received shareholder approval, (2) was from a 25% or greater shareholder of the company which resulted in the acquirer becoming a 25% or greater shareholder of the company, or (3) was from a 45% or greater shareholder of the company which resulted in the acquirer becoming a 45% or greater shareholder of the company. A “special” tender offer must be extended to all shareholders, but the offeror is not required to purchase more than 5% of the company’s outstanding shares, regardless of how many shares are tendered by shareholders. In general, the tender offer may be consummated only if (1) at least 5% of the company’s outstanding shares will be acquired by the offeror and (2) the number of shares tendered in the offer exceeds the number of shares whose holders objected to the offer.

If, as a result of an acquisition of shares, the acquirer will hold more than 90% of a company’s outstanding shares, the acquisition must be made by means of a tender offer for all of the outstanding shares. In general, if less than 5% of the outstanding shares are not tendered in the tender offer and more than half of the offerees who have no personal interest in the offer tendered their shares, all the shares that the acquirer offered to purchase will be transferred to it. Shareholders may request appraisal rights in connection with a full tender offer for a period of six months following the consummation of the tender offer, but the acquirer is entitled to stipulate that tendering shareholders will forfeit such appraisal rights.

Lastly, Israeli tax law treats some acquisitions, such as stock-for-stock exchanges between an Israeli company and a foreign company, less favorably than U.S. tax laws. For example, Israeli tax law may, under certain circumstances, subject a shareholder who exchanges his ordinary shares for shares in another corporation to taxation prior to the sale of the shares received in such stock-for-stock swap.

Disclosure of Shareholders’ Ownership

The Israeli Securities Law, 1968 and regulations promulgated thereunder do not require a company whose shares are publicly traded solely on a stock exchange outside of Israel, as in the case of our company, to disclose its share ownership. However, our shareholders must comply with the share ownership disclosure requirements of Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and the share ownership of our officers, directors and the holders of more than 5% of our shares is also disclosed in our annual reports on Form 20-F.

Changes in Our Capital

Under the Companies Law and our memorandum and articles of association, changes in our capital, such as an increase of our authorized share capital or creation of another class of shares, are subject to the approval of the shareholders by the holders of at least 75% of the votes of shareholders present by person or by proxy and voting in the shareholders meeting.

TAXATION
 
For discussion of certain income tax considerations with respect to our ordinary shares, including distributions with respect to our ordinary shares, if any, the sale or disposition of our ordinary shares, applicable Israeli taxes, U.S. federal taxes, the tax consequences to U.S. holders if we are a passive foreign investment company, and certain information reporting and backup withholding requirements, please see Item 10.E "Taxation" of our Annual Report.

WE ENCOURAGE EACH INVESTOR TO CONSULT WITH HIS OR HER OWN TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH INVESTOR OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF APPLICABLE ISRAELI, U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL TAXES.
 
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
 
On March 5, 2015, we and Appfluent entered into the Merger Agreement.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Appfluent by way of a merger. Under the Merger Agreement, the total consideration included: (i) approximately 582,000 ordinary shares of the Company, or the Closing Shares, (ii) approximately 144,000 ordinary shares of the Company, or, subject to adjustments, the Holdback Shares, that are issuable on September 18, 2016, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, and (iii) milestone-based contingent payments, if any, based on the revenues we recognize from sales of Appfluent products during 2015 and 2016, which are payable, subject to certain exceptions, in cash (60%) and ordinary shares of the Company (40%), based on the average price per share over a 30-day period prior to applicable payment date, or the Earnout Shares.  The closing of the merger occurred on March 18, 2015.

At the closing, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with certain former Appfluent stockholders, or the Registration Rights Agreement, whereby we undertook to file up to two Form F-3 registration statements to allow the holders of the Closing Shares and Holdback Shares (as well as the Earnout Shares, if any) to freely resell such shares under the Securities Act, subject to the “lock-up” undertaking described under “Plan of Distribution” below.  The selling shareholders acquired the Closing Shares being registered for resale pursuant to this prospectus from us on March 18, 2015, in consideration for their respective shares of Appfluent. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the selling shareholders are also registering for resale pursuant to this prospectus, (i) the full maximum amount of the Holdback Share Consideration to which the applicable selling shareholder may be entitled pursuant to the Merger Agreement and (ii) up to 10% of the maximum amount of the Earnout Shares to which each selling shareholder may be entitled pursuant to the Merger Agreement; computed based on the average closing market price per our ordinary shares on the NASDAQ for the 30 trading days prior to the closing, or $9.66 per share.

The shares being offered hereby are being registered to permit public secondary trading of such shares, and each selling shareholder may offer all or part of the shares it owns for resale from time to time pursuant to this prospectus as described below under “Plan of Distribution”, subject to the lock-up restrictions described in that section.
 
The following table sets forth, for each selling shareholder, the name, the number of ordinary shares owned as of July 14, 2015, the maximum number of ordinary shares that may be offered pursuant to this prospectus and the number of ordinary shares that would be owned after the sale of the maximum number of ordinary shares. Unless otherwise indicated below, such information was provided directly by the applicable selling shareholder.

Within the past three years, other than in connection with the Merger Agreement and the relationships described below, none of the selling shareholders has (1) held a position as an officer or director of ours, nor has any selling shareholder had any material relationship of any kind with us or any of our affiliates, or (2) any family relationships with our officers or directors.

Any selling shareholders who are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker-dealers and any participating broker-dealers may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions or discounts given to any such selling shareholder or broker-dealer may be regarded as underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Except as set forth below, if any, to our knowledge, none of the selling shareholders is a broker-dealer or affiliate of a broker-dealer.

The term “selling shareholders” also includes any transferees, pledgees, donees, or other successors in interest to the selling shareholders named in the table below.

We may notify the selling shareholders to suspend the sales of the securities offered by this prospectus upon the occurrence of any event that makes any statement in this prospectus or the related registration statement untrue in any material respect or that requires the changing of statements in these documents in order to make statements in those documents not misleading.
 
Information concerning the selling shareholders may change from time to time and any changed information will be set forth in post-effective amendments or prospectus supplements if and when necessary.
 
 
General

The selling shareholders, and their pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may from time to time offer and sell, separately or together, some or all of the ordinary shares covered by this prospectus. The inclusion of any ordinary shares in this prospectus does not mean, however, that those ordinary shares necessarily will be offered or sold.
 
The ordinary shares covered by this prospectus may be sold from time to time, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to market prices, at a fixed price or prices subject to change or at negotiated prices, by a variety of methods including the following:
 
 
·
in the over-the-counter market;
 
·
in privately negotiated transactions;
 
·
through broker-dealers, who may act as agents or principals;
 
·
through one or more underwriters on a firm commitment or best-efforts basis;
 
·
in a block trade in which a broker-dealer will attempt to sell a block of ordinary shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
·
directly to one or more purchasers;
 
·
through agents;
 
·
in any combination of the above; and
 
·
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
The selling shareholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the ordinary shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the ordinary shares, from time to time, under this prospectus, a prospectus supplement, or under an amendment thereto under applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending the list of selling shareholders to include the pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest as selling shareholders under this prospectus and/or a prospectus supplement. The selling shareholders 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 or a related prospectus supplement.
 
In connection with the sale of ordinary shares or interests therein, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the ordinary shares in the course of hedging the positions that they assume. The selling shareholders may also sell ordinary shares short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge ordinary shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling shareholders may also, subject to the terms and applicability of our insider trading policy, enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of ordinary shares offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, which ordinary shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
 
 
15

 
 
The selling shareholders also may resell all or a portion of the ordinary shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 or Regulation S under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of the applicable rule.
 
In effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Broker-dealer transactions may include:

 
·
purchases of the ordinary shares by a broker-dealer as principal and resales of the ordinary shares by the broker-dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus;
 
·
ordinary brokerage transactions; or
 
·
transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers on a best efforts basis.
 
Each of the selling shareholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of ordinary shares to be made directly or through agents. Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of our securities offered by the prospectus supplement.

 In connection with the sale of our securities, underwriters or agents may receive compensation (in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions) from the selling shareholders or from purchasers of securities for whom they may act as agents. Underwriters may sell securities to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents.  Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of our securities may be deemed to be "underwriters" as that term is defined in the Securities Act, and any discounts or commissions received by them from us and any profits on the resale of the shares by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.  Compensation as to a particular underwriter, dealer or agent might be in excess of customary commissions and will be in amounts to be negotiated in connection with transaction involving our securities.  We will identify any such underwriter or agent, and we will describe any such compensation paid, in the related prospectus supplement.  Maximum compensation to any underwriters, dealers or agents will not exceed any applicable Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, limitations. In particular, in compliance with the guidelines of FINRA, the aggregate maximum fees or other items of value to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer will not exceed 8% of the gross proceeds of any offering pursuant to this registration statement.

The selling shareholders, any underwriters, dealers and agents and their respective affiliates and representatives may be entitled, under agreements with us, to indemnification against and contribution toward certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

If underwriters or dealers are used in the sale, until the distribution of our securities is completed, SEC rules may limit the ability of any such underwriters and selling group members to bid for and purchase the securities.  As an exception to these rules, representatives of any underwriters are permitted to engage in certain transactions that stabilize the price of the securities. Such transactions may consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. If the underwriters create a short position in the securities in connection with the offering (in other words, if they sell more shares than are set forth on the cover page of the prospectus supplement), the representatives of the underwriters may reduce that short position by purchasing securities in the open market. The representatives of the underwriters also may elect to reduce any short position by exercising all or part of any over-allotment option we may grant to the underwriters, as described in the prospectus supplement.  In addition, the representatives of the underwriters may impose a penalty bid on certain underwriters and selling group members. This means that if the representatives purchase securities in the open market to reduce the underwriters’ short position or to stabilize the price of our securities, they may reclaim the amount of the selling concession from the underwriters and selling group members who sold those securities as part of the offering.  In general, purchases of a security for the purpose of stabilizing or to reduce a short position could cause the price of the security to be higher than it might be in the absence of such purchases. The imposition of a penalty bid might also have the effect of causing the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the representatives of the underwriters may discontinue any of the transactions at any time. These transactions may be effected on any exchange on which our securities are traded, in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise.
 
 
16

 
 
Certain of the underwriters or agents and their associates may engage in transactions with and perform services for us or our affiliates in the ordinary course of their respective businesses.

To our knowledge, the selling shareholders have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of the ordinary shares covered by this prospectus.

You may also obtain information about us by visiting our website at http://www.attunity.com. Information contained in our website is not part of this prospectus.
 
We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, as applicable to “foreign private issuers” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act, and in accordance therewith, we file annual reports and other information with the SEC.  As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act.  Accordingly, our proxy solicitations are not subject to the disclosure and procedural requirements of Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act and transactions in our equity securities by our officers and directors are exempt from reporting and the “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 reports and financial statements as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we furnish reports with the SEC on Form 6-K containing unaudited financial information for the first three quarters of each fiscal year and we solicit proxies and furnish proxy statements for all meetings of shareholders, a copy of which proxy statement is furnished promptly thereafter with the SEC under the cover of a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K. We publish annually an annual report on our website containing financial statements that have been examined and reported on, with an opinion expressed by, a qualified independent auditor or certified public accountant.  We prepare our financial statements in United States dollars and in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
 
We are incorporated in Israel.  Substantially all of our executive officers and directors and our Israeli auditors are nonresidents of the United States, and a substantial portion of our assets and the assets of these persons are located outside the United States.  Therefore, it may be difficult to enforce a judgment obtained in the United States against us or any such persons.
 
 
19

 
 
Additionally, there is doubt as to the enforceability of civil liabilities under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in original actions instituted in Israel.  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. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact, which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law. There is little binding case law in Israel addressing these matters.  Subject to specified time limitations, an Israeli court may declare a foreign civil judgment enforceable if it finds that:
 
 
·
the judgment was rendered by a court which was, according to the laws of the state of the court, competent to render the judgment;
 
 
·
the judgment is no longer appealable;
 
 
·
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 is not contrary to public policy; and
 
 
·
the judgment is executory in the state in which it was given.
 
Even if the above conditions are satisfied, an Israeli court will not enforce a foreign judgment if it was given in a state whose laws do not provide for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts (subject to exceptional cases) or if its enforcement is likely to prejudice the sovereignty or security of the State of Israel.  An Israeli court also will not declare a foreign judgment enforceable if:
 
 
·
the judgment was obtained by fraud;
 
 
·
there was no due process;
 
 
·
the judgment was rendered by a court not competent to render it according to the laws of private international law in Israel;
 
 
·
the judgment is at variance with another judgment that was given in the same matter between the same parties and which is still valid; or
 
 
·
at the time the action was brought in the foreign court a suit 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 to recover an amount in non-Israeli currency is for the Israeli court to render judgment for the equivalent amount in NIS at the rate of exchange on the date of payment, but the judgment debtor also may make payment in non-Israeli currency.  Pending collection, the amount of the judgment stated in NIS ordinarily will be linked to the Israel consumer price index plus interest at the annual rate (set by Israeli law) prevailing at that time.  Judgment creditors bear the risk of unfavorable exchange rates.

PART II.
 
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
 
Item 8.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
Exculpation, Indemnification and Insurance of Directors and Officers
 
Exculpation of Office Holders.  Under the Companies Law, an Israeli company may not exempt an office holder from his or her liability for a breach of the duty of loyalty to the company, but may exempt an office holder, in advance, from his or her liability, in whole or in part, for a breach of his or her duty of care to the company (except with regard to distributions), if the articles of association so provide.  Our articles of association permit us to exempt our office holders to the fullest extent permitted by law.
 
Office Holders’ Insurance. As permitted by the Companies Law, our articles of association provide that, subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, we may enter into a contract for the insurance of the liability of any of our office holders concerning an act performed by him or her in his or her capacity as an office holder for:
 
 
·
a breach of his or her duty of care to us or to another person;
 
 
·
a breach of his or her duty of loyalty to us, provided that the office holder acted in good faith and had reasonable cause to assume that his or her act would not prejudice our interests;
 
 
·
a financial liability imposed upon him or her in favor of another person;
 
 
·
expenses he or she incurs as a result of administrative proceedings that may be instituted against him or her under Israeli securities laws, if applicable, and payments made to injured persons under specific circumstances thereunder; and
 
 
·
any other matter in respect of which it is permitted or will be permitted under applicable law to insure the liability of an office holder in the Company.
 
Indemnification of Office Holders. As permitted by the Companies Law, our articles of association provide that we may indemnify any of our office holders for an act performed in his or her capacity as an office holder, retroactively (after the liability has been incurred) or in advance against the following:
 
 
·
a financial liability incurred by, or imposed on, him or her in favor of another person by any judgment, including a settlement or an arbitration award approved by a court; provided that our undertaking to indemnify with respect to such events on a prospective basis is limited to events that our Board of Directors believes are foreseeable in light of our actual operations at the time of providing the undertaking and to a sum or standard that our Board of Directors determines to be reasonable under the circumstances, and further provided that such events and amount or criteria are set forth in the undertaking to indemnify;
 
 
·
reasonable litigation expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by the office holder as a result of an investigation or proceeding instituted against him by a competent authority, provided that such investigation or proceeding concluded without the filing of an indictment against him and either (A) concluded without the imposition of any financial liability in lieu of criminal proceedings or (B) concluded with the imposition of a financial liability in lieu of criminal proceedings with respect to a criminal offense that does not require proof of criminal intent or in connection with a financial sanction;
 
 
 

 
 
 
·
reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the office holder or charged to him or her by a court, resulting from the following: proceedings we institute against him or her or instituted on our behalf or by another person; a criminal indictment from which he or she was acquitted; or a criminal indictment in which he or she was convicted for a criminal offense that does not require proof of intent;
 
 
·
expenses he or she incurs as a result of administrative proceedings that may be instituted against him or her under Israeli securities laws, if applicable, and payments made to injured persons under specific circumstances thereunder; and
 
 
·
any other matter in respect of which it is permitted or will be permitted under applicable law to indemnify an office holder in the Company.
 
Limitations on Exculpation, Insurance and Indemnification. The Companies Law provides that a company may not indemnify an office holder nor exculpate an office holder nor enter into an insurance contract which would provide coverage for any monetary liability incurred as a result of any of the following:
 
 
·
a breach by the office holder of his or her duty of loyalty, unless with respect to indemnification and insurance, the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice the company;
 
 
·
a breach by the office holder of his or her duty of care if the breach was committed intentionally or recklessly, unless it was committed only negligently;
 
 
·
any act or omission committed with the intent to derive an illegal personal benefit; or
 
 
·
any fine levied against the office holder.
 
In addition, under the Companies Law, exculpation of, an undertaking to indemnify or indemnification of, and procurement of insurance coverage for, our office holders must be approved by our audit committee and our Board of Directors and, in specified circumstances, such as if the office holder is a director, by our shareholders.
 
We have undertaken to indemnify our office holders to the fullest extent permitted by law, including exculpation from the duty of care, by providing them with a Letter of Indemnification, the form of which was approved by our shareholders. We also currently maintain directors and officers liability insurance with an aggregate coverage limit of $20 million, with a Side A coverage of an additional $5 million.

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;
 
 
(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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
 
 
II - 3

 
 
 
(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 paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and a(l)(iii) 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 Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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 of 1933, 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.  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 Rule 3-19 of Regulation S-X if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.
 
 
(5)
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
 
 
(i)
If the Registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
 
 
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 of 1933 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; or
 
 
II - 4

 
 
 
(ii)
If the Registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. 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 first use, 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 date of first use.
 
 
(6)
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
 
The undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
 
 
(i)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
 
 
(ii)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;
 
 
(iii)
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and
 
 
(iv)
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.
 
(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.
 
(d)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
 
(1)
For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
 
(2)
For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
We refer to the Registration Statement on Form F-3 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), on or about the date hereof by Attunity Ltd, an Israeli company (the “Company”), relating to the resale, from time to time, of 851,302 ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.1 per share, of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”), of which (i) 579,919 Ordinary Shares were issued to the selling shareholders (the “Closing Shares”) in connection with an agreement and plan of merger, dated March 5, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company acquired Appfluent Technology, Inc.; (ii) 143,375 Ordinary Shares may be issued to the selling shareholders subject to certain conditions stipulated in the Merger Agreement (the “Holdback Shares”), and (iii) 128,008 Ordinary Shares may be issued to the selling shareholders subject to certain milestones stipulated in the Merger Agreement (the “Earnout Shares”).
 
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.
 
In connection with this opinion, we have examined such corporate records, other documents and such questions of Israeli law as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. As to various questions of fact related to this opinion, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents, or upon statements, of officers of the Company and upon certificates of government officials.
 
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that: (1) the Closing Shares are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; (2) the Holdback Shares issuable upon the fulfillment of certain conditions stipulated in the Merger Agreement have been duly authorized for issuance and, when issued in accordance with the Merger Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; and (3) the Earnout Shares issuable upon the meeting of certain milestones stipulated in the Merger Agreement have been duly authorized for issuance and, when issued in accordance with the Merger Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
 
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as part of the Registration Statement and the references to this firm in the sections of the Registration Statement entitled “Legal Matters.”  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 under the provisions of the Act.
 
  Very truly yours,

/s/ Goldfarb Seligman & Co.
