DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

Allient Inc. (the "Registrant") is filing this Post-Effective Amendment (this "Post-Effective Amendment") to each of the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 (collectively, the "Registration Statements") to deregister any and all securities that remain unsold pursuant to the Registration Statements, in each case solely to the extent they relate to the Registrant's 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the "2007 Plan").

1.

Registration No. 333-149279, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on February 15, 2008, registering 300,000 shares of the Registrant's Common Stock, no par value ("Common Stock") issuable pursuant to the 2007 Plan;

2.

Registration No. 333-170563, filed with the Commission on November 12, 2010, registering an additional 600,000 shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the 2007 Plan;

3.

Registration No. 333-187369, filed with the Commission on March 19, 2013, registering an additional 900,000 shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the 2007 Plan;

The Registrant is no longer issuing securities under the 2007 Plan. This Post-Effective Amendment is being filed in order to deregister all shares of Common Stock that were registered under the Registration Statements and remain unissued under the Registration Statements, in each case, solely to the extent they relate to the 2007 Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, this Post-Effective Amendment will have no effect on the status of the 100,000 shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Allient Inc. Non-Employee Director Stock in Lieu of Cash Retainer Plan, which shares of Common Stock were also registered pursuant to Registration Statement No. 333-170563.
