Re:*Allient Inc.*

*Registration Statement on Form S-8* 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") of Allient Inc., a Colorado corporation (the "Company"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in connection with the offering by the Company of up to 700,000 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, no par value per share (the "Common Stock"). The Shares subject to the Registration Statement are reserved for issuance under the Allient Inc. Employees' Stock Ownership Plan (the "Plan").

We have examined the Plan and the originals, or photostatic or certified copies, of such records of the Company and certificates of officers of the Company and of public officials and such other documents as we have deemed relevant and necessary as the basis for the opinions set forth below. We have also made such other investigations as we have deemed relevant and necessary or appropriate in connection with the opinion hereinafter set forth. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have also assumed that there are no agreements or understandings between or among the Company and any participants in the Plan that would expand, modify or otherwise affect the terms of the Plan or the respective rights or obligations of the participants thereunder. Finally, we have assumed the accuracy of all other information provided to us by the Company during the course of our investigations, on which we have relied in issuing the opinion expressed below.

Based upon the foregoing examination and in reliance thereon, and subject to the assumptions stated and in reliance on statements of fact contained in the documents that we have examined, we are of the opinion that the shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan, when issued and sold in accordance with the terms of the Plan and against payment therefor, and when the Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

23223115. v1

------

Allient Inc.

March 30, 2026

We render no opinion herein as to matters involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Colorado Business Corporation Act (the "CBCA"). This opinion is limited to the effect of the current state of the law of the CBCA and the facts as they currently exist. We assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion in the event of future changes in such law or the interpretations thereof or such facts. We express no opinion regarding any state securities laws or regulations.

We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Bond, Schoeneck & King, PLLC

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <sup>1</sup> Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this registration statement also registers an indeterminate number of additional shares that may be issued pursuant to the above-named plans as the result of any future stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or any other similar transaction effected without the receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of our outstanding shares of common stock. Represents additional shares of Common Stock available for future issuance under the Allient Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Plan") or that may become issuable under the Plan pursuant to its terms. This estimate is made pursuant to Rule 457(c) and 457(h) of the Securities Act solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee. The maximum offering price per share and the maximum aggregate offering price are based upon the average of the high and low prices of the Registrant's Class A common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market on March 24, 2026, which date is within five business days prior to filing this registration statement. The Registrant does not have any fee offsets.
