EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 20-F/A (the “Amendment”) amends the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (the “Form 20-F”) of Ceragon Networks Ltd. (the “Company”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2014, and is being filed to amend and restate “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions” of Part I of Form 20-F. In the Form 20-F, the absolute number of shares held by Migdal Insurance & Financial Holdings Ltd (“Migdal”) was erroneously presented as 3,033,257, rather than 3,048,217. Additionally, the Form 20-F omitted the inclusion of shareholder Diker GP, LLC, who currently holds 2,664,811 ordinary shares, with a percentage of 5.12% of all outstanding ordinary shares.
This Amendment is also filed to amend the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm regarding the audit of the consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Audit Report”) and the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm regarding the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (the “Internal Control Report”), contained in Item 18 of the Form 20-F, to correct the following typographical errors in (i) the Audit Report: (1) in the third paragraph, the date is changed from “December 31, 2012” to “December 31, 2013”; (2) in the fourth paragraph, the date is changed from “April xx, 2014” to “April 30, 2014”; and (3) the date of the Audit Report is changed from “___, 2014” to “April 30, 2014”; and (ii) the Internal Control Report: (1) the first paragraph adds a reference to the 1992 framework; (2) the date in the second paragraph is changed from “April xx, 2014” to “April 30, 2014”; and (3) the date of the Internal Control Report is changed from “___, 2014” to “April 30, 2014”.
Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we have included the entire text of Item 7 and Item 18 of the Form 20-F in this Amendment. However, there have been no changes to the text of such items other than the changes stated in the immediately preceding paragraphs. Furthermore, there have been no changes to the XBRL data filed in Exhibit 101 of the Form 20-F.
Except as expressly set forth above, this Amendment does not, and does not purport to, amend, update or restate the information in any other item of the Form 20-F or reflect any events that have occurred after the filing of the original Form 20-F.
ITEM 7. MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Major Shareholders
The following table sets forth stock ownership information as of March 31, 2014 (unless otherwise noted below) with respect to each person who is known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding ordinary shares, based on information provided to us by the holders or disclosed in public filings with the SEC.
Except where otherwise indicated, and except pursuant to community property laws, we believe, based on information furnished by such owners, that the beneficial owners of the ordinary shares listed below have sole investment and voting power with respect to such shares. The shareholders listed below do not have any different voting rights from any of our other shareholders. We know of no arrangements which would, at a subsequent date, result in a change of control of our company.
Total shares beneficially owned in the table below include shares that may be acquired upon the exercise of options that are exercisable within 60 days. The shares that may be issued under these options are treated as outstanding only for purposes of determining the percent owned by the person or group holding the options but not for the purpose of determining the percentage ownership of any other person or group. Each of our directors and officers who is also a director or officer of an entity listed in the table below disclaims ownership of our ordinary shares owned by such entity.

Migdal is an Israeli public company with a principal office at 4 Efal Street, P.O. Box 3063, Petach Tikva 49512, Israel. Of the 3,048,217 ordinary shares beneficially owned by Migdal (i) 3,008,525 ordinary shares are held for members of the public through, among others, provident funds, mutual funds, pension funds and insurance policies, which are managed by subsidiaries of Migdal, according to the following segmentation: 1,859,107 ordinary shares are held by profit participating life assurance accounts and 1,149,418 ordinary shares are held by provident funds and companies that manage provident funds, each of which subsidiaries operates under independent management and makes independent voting and investment decisions, and (ii) 39,692 are beneficially held for Migdal’s Nostro account1. |
1 Changes made to conform to Migdal's 13G.
(5) | Based on information provided in a Statement on Schedule 13G filed with the SEC on February 12, 2014 by Diker GP, LLC ("Diker GP"). Diker GP is a Delaware limited liability company and the sole general partner of the "Diker Funds", as defined in that Statement. Pursuant to investment advisory agreements, Diker Management, LLC ("Diker Management"), serves as the investment manager of the Diker Funds and may be deemed the beneficial owner of 3,081,365 ordinary shares held by the Diker Funds. Charles M. Diker and Mark N. Diker are the managing members of each of Diker GP and Diker Management, and therefore may be beneficial owners of shares beneficially owned by Diker GP and Diker Management. |
As of March 31, 2014, approximately 95.1% of our ordinary shares were held in the United States and there were 30 record holders with addresses in the United States. These numbers are not representative of the number of beneficial holders of our shares nor are they representative of where such beneficial holders reside since many of these ordinary shares were held of record by brokers or other nominees (including one U.S. nominee company, CEDE & Co., which held approximately 95.08% of our outstanding ordinary shares as of said date).

Ms. Langer, one of our directors, acts as general counsel for several companies in the RAD- BYNET group and serves as a director of RADWARE Ltd.
In addition to engaging in other businesses, members of the RAD-BYNET group are actively engaged in designing, manufacturing, marketing and supporting data communications products, none of which currently compete with our products. Some of the products of members of the RAD-BYNET group are complementary to, and may be used in connection with, our products.
Members of the RAD-BYNET group provide us on an as-needed basis with management information systems, marketing, and administrative services, and we reimburse each company for its costs in providing these services. Members of the RAD-BYNET provide us and other RAD-BYNET companies with logistics services such as transportation and cafeteria facilities. The aggregate amount of these expenses was approximately $1.1 million in 2013.
The Company purchases certain property and equipment from members of the RAD-BYNET group, the aggregate purchase price of these assets was approximately $0.3 million in 2013.
We generally ascertain the market prices for goods and services that can be obtained at arms’ length from unaffiliated third parties before entering into any transaction with a member of the RAD-BYNET group for those goods and services. In addition, all of our transactions to date with members of the RAD-BYNET group were approved by our audit committee and then our board of directors. As a result, we believe that the terms of the transactions in which we have engaged and are currently engaged with other members of the RAD-BYNET group are beneficial to us and no less favorable to us than terms which might be available to us from unaffiliated third parties. Any future transaction and arrangement with entities, including other members of the RAD-BYNET group, in which our office holders have a personal interest will require approval by our audit committee, our board of directors and, if applicable, our shareholders.

The agreement grants registration rights to each of:
· | the holders of the ordinary shares resulting from the conversion of such preferred shares; and |
· | Yehuda Zisapel and Zohar Zisapel. |
Under the agreement, each of these shareholders has the right to have its ordinary shares included in certain of our registration statements.
