    <div style="line-height: 1.25;"><br style="line-height: 1.25;">
    </div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25; font-weight: bold;">Section 1: Introduction</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25">&#160;</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25;">This Conflict Minerals Report has been prepared by NICE Ltd. (herein referred to as &#8220;NICE&#8221;, the &#8220;Company&#8221;, &#8220;we&#8221;, &#8220;us&#8221;, or &#8220;our&#8221;) pursuant to Rule 13p-1 (&#8220;the Rule&#8221;) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
      &#8220;Exchange Act&#8221;), for calendar year 2023.</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25">&#160;</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25;">Rule 13p-1, enacted pursuant to The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, requires that an issuer that is required to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#8220;SEC&#8221;)
      under Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (including foreign private issuers) disclose certain information if that issuer manufactures or contracts to manufacture one or more products for which the minerals specified in the Rule are necessary
      to the functionality or production of those products. The specified minerals are gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten (collectively &#8220;Conflict
      Minerals&#8221;). The &#8220;Covered Countries&#8221; for the purposes of the Rule are the Democratic Republic of the Congo (&#8220;DRC&#8221;) and nine adjoining countries.</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25">&#160;</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25; font-weight: bold;">Company and Products Overview</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25">&#160;</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25;">NICE is a provider of enterprise software solutions to permit advanced analytics of structured and unstructured data. Some of our software solutions include audio recording systems. These systems rely on hardware
      products including servers, assembly boards and other electronics equipment, for which Conflict Minerals are necessary for the functionality or production of the products.&#160; NICE does not engage in manufacturing, but contracts to manufacture certain
      of the hardware products on which these systems rely.</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25">&#160;</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25;">The products that we contract to manufacture are highly complex, and typically contain hundreds of parts from many suppliers. We have relationships with a network of manufacturers and suppliers throughout the world and
      there are multiple tiers between the mines where Conflict Minerals are extracted and our contract manufacturers and suppliers.&#160; In accordance with the Rule we undertook a country of origin inquiry to determine the source of the Conflict Minerals,
      which are necessary for the functionality or production of the products we manufacture or contract to manufacture.</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25">&#160;</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25; font-weight: bold;">Section 2: Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (&#8220;RCOI&#8221;) and RCOI Conclusion</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25">&#160;</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25;">We performed a good faith RCOI for the Conflict Minerals that we determined were necessary to the functionality or production of our products in order to determine whether the Conflict Minerals in such products
      originated from the Covered Countries.&#160; There was significant overlap between our RCOI and the diligence efforts on the source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals because of the large number of contract manufacturers and related suppliers
      from which we obtain materials that we surveyed, and the time frame necessary for completion of both the RCOI and due diligence process.</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25">&#160;</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25;">Our RCOI procedures consisted of surveying our contract manufacturers and the suppliers whom we concluded were providing us with components that do, or may, contain Conflict Minerals that are necessary to the
      functionality or production of our products.&#160; Such procedures included the following steps:</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25">&#160;</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25;">(1) Updating the applicable list for 2023 of contract manufacturers and suppliers to survey based on the likelihood of Conflict Minerals contained in the supplied products and materials.</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25">&#160;</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25;">(2) Sending a notification to relevant contract manufacturers and suppliers informing them about the Conflict Minerals disclosure requirements and asking them to complete the Conflict Minerals survey&#160; based on the
      standard template designed by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition&#174; (EICC&#174;) and The Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI), known as the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template.</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25">&#160;</div>
    <div class="BRPFPageBreakArea" style="clear: both; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 10pt;">
      <div class="BRPFPageBreak" style="page-break-after: always;">
        <hr noshade="noshade" style="border-width: 0px; clear: both; margin: 4px 0px; width: 100%; height: 2px; color: #000000; background-color: #000000;"></div>
    </div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25;">&#160;</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25;">(3) Use of a set of checks (&#8220;red flags&#8221;) to identify inconsistent, incomplete or inaccurate responses. Responses that were identified as incomplete or inconsistent based on red flags were subject to further review and
      follow up with the parties that provided the incomplete or inaccurate responses.</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25">&#160;</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25;">(4) Sending periodic reminders to non-responsive manufacturers and suppliers.</div>

    <div style="line-height: 1.25;">In 2023, NICE conducted a supply chain survey with the 82 contract manufacturers and suppliers identified during the applicability assessment phase. The survey was based on the Electronics Industry Citizenship Coalition/
      Global e-Sustainability Initiative (EICC/GeSI). Although not every supplier responded to the request to complete the survey, each and every survey completed and received was reviewed and logged by us.</div>

    </div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25;">Responses received were subject to a &#8220;red flag&#8221; review. Responses that were identified as incomplete or inconsistent based on the red flag review process were noted for follow up. Many of the responses included
      information as to smelters or refiners from which the contract manufacturer or supplier obtained Conflict Minerals, but the manufacturers and suppliers were unable to accurately report which specific smelters were part of the supply chain applicable
      to the components that were sold to us in 2023.&#160; Smelters or refiners that were identified in the responses were compared against the list of facilities which have received a DRC conflict free designation from the Conflict Free Smelter Program
      (CFSP).</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25">&#160;</div>
    <div style="line-height: 1.25;">We identified two primary risks in our supply chain relating to our contract manufacturers and suppliers:&#160; (1) the risk of not receiving accurate information on a timely basis with respect to their sourcing of Conflict
      Minerals, and (2) the risk of NICE not being able to replace contract manufacturers or suppliers, should we determine that there is a reasonable risk of the manufacturers' use of Conflict Minerals from sources that contribute to human rights abuses.
      The result of these assessments was the segmentation of the manufacturers and suppliers into three levels of risks (high, medium and low), based on the manufacturers&#8217; or suppliers&#8217; characteristics using criteria such as whether the manufacturer or
      supplier is an SEC filer, their geographical location and other factors, as well as the level of our dependency on the goods or materials of that manufacturer or supplier. This assessment allowed us to invest our communication and response validation
      efforts according to the level of risk. The higher the risk, the greater our investment.</div>
