Magal Security : Taxation of the Cash Distribution payable on September 22, 2021 (Form 6-K)

RE: Taxation of the Cash Distribution payable on September 22,2021

On August 16, 2021, Senstar Technologies Ltd. (formerly known as Magal Security Systems Ltd.) ('Senstar') announced a Cash Distribution in the amount of US$1.725 per share (approximately US$ 40 million in the aggregate) (the 'Cash Distribution') payable on September 22, 2021.

1.	Senstar has appointed IBI Capital as its trustee/sub-paying agent ('IBI' or the 'Tax Trustee') in connection with the Cash Distribution. IBI's contact details are as follows:

Email: [e-mail]

Address: 9 Ahad Ha'am st. Tel Aviv (Shalom Tower), Israel

Phone number: [phone]

2.

On the Cash Distribution payment date of September 22, 2021, Senstar will withhold 25% of the gross amount of the Cash Distribution (the 'Withheld Tax') and will transfer the Withheld Tax to the Tax Trustee. The net amount of the Cash Distribution (75%) will be paid to shareholders by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC ('AST').

3.	As previously announced, Senstar will file a request with the Israel Tax Authority ('ITA') for a ruling to enable shareholders entitled to an exemption and /or a lower withholding tax rate with respect to the Cash Distribution to benefit from such lower rates.

Senstar expects to obtain such tax ruling within several months and will notify the shareholders upon the receipt of such final tax ruling. If received, such ITA tax ruling may result in a tax rate to shareholders that is lower than the Withheld Tax and the shareholders will receive the difference between the 25% withheld and the lower rate.

A Senstar shareholder may be eligible for a tax exemption with respect to the 'capital reduction' part of the Cash Distribution if they are a foreign tax resident (non-Israeli tax resident).

A Senstar shareholder may be eligible for a reduced tax rate with respect to the 'Dividend' part of the Cash Distribution if they have an equitable right to receive the Cash Distribution and are resident of a country with which Israel has a tax treaty for the avoidance of double taxation. Please note that due to the tax treaty between the US and Israel, US tax residents are NOT entitled to a refund on the tax withheld on the dividend component of the Cash Distribution.

An applicant may apply during the period beginning September 22, 2021 and until October 16, 2021 to the Tax Trustee for a reduction in the standard withholding tax rate applicable to the Cash Distribution payment in accordance with a relevant tax treaty (the 'Application').

4.	Please note that due to transfer fees (the settlement will be made by wire transfer and not by checks), refunds of less than US$50 will not be made.

5.	In order to submit an Application, the applicant must submit the documents listed in Appendix A to the Application to the Tax Trustee.

6.

The Tax Trustee will review the documents submitted by applicants, as well as any other document which may be required in order to determine the applicant's eligibility for a reduced tax rate. If an applicant's documents are not complete or found to be insufficient, the Tax Trustee may revert to the applicant with questions or a request for additional documents.

7.	Upon an applicant's satisfactory submission of the required documents, the Tax Trustee will transfer to the applicant's designated bank account a tax refund in the amount by which the Withheld Tax Rate exceeds the applicable tax rate under the applicable tax regime.

8.

The indicated 'fast track' application process has been made available to Senstar's shareholders to permit them to avoid excessive tax payments. This process neither affects the substantive tax liability of any shareholder, nor does it derogate from a shareholder's right to file a tax return with the Israeli Tax Authority to seek a refund of over-withheld amounts.

The foregoing does not constitute tax advice. Neither the Tax Trustee nor Senstar will provide tax advice to applicants regarding their substantive tax liability or their ability to claim a refund of Israeli withholding tax. applicants should consult their own tax advisors as to the United States, Israeli or other tax consequences of the payment of the Cash Distribution and the impact of any foreign, state or local taxes.

Sincerely,

Doron Kerbel

General Counsel & Company Secretary
