  6. to consider, and if deemed advisable, to pass with or without variation, a special resolution, the form of which is set forth in the management information circular of the Corporation dated April 2, 2024 (the "Circular") for the purposes of (i) authorizing and empowering the board of directors of the Corporation (the "Board") to amend the articles of the Corporation to effect a consolidation (the "Consolidation") of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation (the "Common Shares") such that the trading price of the post-Consolidation Common Shares will be between $0.20 and $0.40 per post- Consolidation Common Share (the "Post-Consolidation Share Price Range"), and (ii) authorizing and empowering the Board to determine the final Consolidation ratio (the "Consolidation Ratio"), provided that such Consolidation Ratio results in the trading price of the post-Consolidation Common Shares falling within the Post-Consolidation Share Price Range;
  7. to transact such other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

The accompanying proxy circular provides additional information relating to the matters to be dealt with at the Meeting and is deemed to form part of this notice. Also accompanying this notice is a form of Proxy. Any adjournment of the Meeting will be held at a time and place to be specified at the Meeting.

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on March 25, 2024, will be entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting. If you are unable to attend the Meeting in person, please complete, sign and date the enclosed Proxy and return the same in the manner, within the time and to the location set out in the Proxy accompanying this notice.

NOTICE-AND-ACCESS

Notice is also hereby given that the Corporation has decided to use the notice-and-access method of delivery of meeting materials for the Meeting. The notice-and-access method of delivery of meeting materials allows the Company to deliver the meeting materials over the internet in accordance with the notice-and-access rules adopted by the Ontario Securities Commission under National Instrument 54-101 Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer. Under the notice-and-access system, shareholders still receive a proxy or voting instruction form (as applicable) enabling them to vote at the Meeting.

2

However, instead of a paper copy of the Management Information Circular, the annual financial statements and other meeting materials (collectively the "Meeting Materials"), shareholders receive a notification (the "Notice-and- Access Notification") with information on how they may access such materials electronically. The use of this alternative means of delivery is more environmentally friendly as it will help reduce paper use and will also reduce the cost of printing and mailing materials to shareholders. Shareholders are reminded to view the Meeting Materials prior to voting.

The specific details of the matters proposed to be brought before the Meeting, including the text of the resolutions in respect thereof, are set forth in the Meeting Materials. A supplemental mailing list return request and proxy form with a return envelope also accompany this notice.

Websites Where Meeting Materials Are Posted

Meeting Materials can be viewed online under the Corporation's profile at www.sedar.com or on the Corporation's website at www.star-navigation.com.

How to Obtain Paper Copies of the Meeting Materials

Registered holders or non-registered holders may request paper copies of the Meeting Materials be sent to them by postal delivery at no cost to them. Requests may be made up to one year from the date the Meeting Materials are posted on the Corporation's website. In order to receive a paper copy of the Meeting Materials or if you have questions concerning Notice-and-Access, please contact the Corporation at 416 252-2889 Ext. 228 or via email at randy.koroll@star-navigation.com.

Requests should be received by 10:00 a.m. on April 9, 2024, in order to receive the Meeting Materials in advance of the Meeting.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR FOR THE

to be held on May 9, 2024

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This management information circular (the "Circular") is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the management of STAR NAVIGATION SYSTEMS GROUP LTD. ("SNS", the "Corporation" or the "Company") of proxies to be used at the Corporation's annual and special meeting of the Shareholders of the Corporation to be held in person on May 9, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) or at any adjournment thereof (the "Meeting"). Unless otherwise stated, all information contained in this Circular is presented as at April 1, 2024. The purpose of the Meeting is as set out in the accompanying notice of meeting (the "Notice of Meeting").

The solicitation of proxies by this Circular is being made by or on behalf of the management of the Corporation. It is expected that the solicitation will be primarily by mail, but proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone by directors, officers and regular employees of the Corporation without special compensation. The cost of solicitation will be borne by the Corporation.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy are officers or directors of the Corporation. A shareholder desiring to appoint some other person to attend and act on his or her behalf at the Meeting may do so by inserting the name of such person in the blank space provided in the form of proxy or by completing another proper form of proxy and, in either case, delivering the form not less than 48 hours, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays excepted, prior to the time of the Meeting to the office of Capital Transfer Agency Inc., 390 Bay Street, Suite 920, Toronto, Ontario M5H 2Y2. A person appointed as a proxy need not be a shareholder of the Corporation.

A shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it as to any matter upon which a vote has not already been cast pursuant to the authority conferred by the proxy.

A shareholder may revoke a proxy by depositing an instrument in writing, executed by him or his attorney authorized in writing, or, if the shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or signed by a duly authorized officer or attorney for the corporation:

  1. at the offices of the registrar and transfer agent of the Corporation, Capital Transfer Agency Inc., 390 Bay Street, Suite 920, Toronto, Ontario M5H 2Y2, at any time, not less than 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays, preceding the Meeting or an adjournment of the Meeting at which the proxy is to be used; or
  2. at the registered office of the Corporation, 11 Kenview Blvd, Brampton, Ontario, L6T 5G5, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting at which the proxy is to be used; or
  3. with the Chair of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or an adjournment of the Meeting.

In addition, a proxy may be revoked by the shareholder executing another form of proxy bearing a later date and depositing same at the offices of the registrar and transfer agent of the Corporation within the time period set out under the heading "Voting of Proxies", or by the shareholder personally attending the Meeting and voting his/her Shares.

7

ADVICE TO SHAREHOLDERS

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many Shareholders of the Corporation, as a substantial number of Shareholders do not hold Common Shares in their own name. Shareholders who do not hold their Common Shares in their own name should note that only proxies deposited by Shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Corporation as the registered holders of Common Shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting.

Voting in Person at the Meeting

A registered shareholder, or a non-objecting beneficial owner ("NOBO") whose name has been provided to the Corporation's registrar and transfer agent, Capital Transfer Agency Inc., will appear on a list of shareholders prepared by the registrar and transfer agent for purposes of the Meeting. To vote in person at the Meeting each registered shareholder or NOBO will be required to register for the Meeting by identifying themselves at the registration desk. Non-registered beneficial shareholders (other than NOBOs) must appoint themselves as a proxyholder to vote in person at the Meeting. Please also refer to "Non-Registered Holders" below.

Voting by Proxy at the Meeting

If a registered shareholder or NOBO cannot attend the Meeting but wishes to vote on the resolutions, the registered shareholder or NOBO should sign, date and deliver the enclosed form of proxy to the Corporation's registrar and transfer agent, Capital Transfer Agency Inc., 390 Bay Street, Suite 920, Toronto, Ontario M5H 2Y2 so it is received at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy are directors and/or officers of the Corporation. A shareholder giving a proxy can strike out the names of the nominees printed in the accompanying form of proxy and insert the name of another nominee in the space provided, or the shareholder may complete another form of proxy. A proxy nominee need not be a shareholder of the Corporation. A shareholder giving a proxy has the right to attend the Meeting or appoint someone else to attend as his or her proxy at the Meeting and the proxy submitted earlier can be revoked in the manner described under "Appointment and Revocation of Proxies".

Non-registered Holders

In many cases, Common Shares beneficially owned by a holder (a "Non-Registered Holder") are registered either:

  1. in the name of an intermediary that the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the Common Shares. Intermediaries include banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers, and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans; or,
  2. in the name of a depository (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited or "CDS"). Non- Registered Holders do not appear on the list of shareholders of the Corporation maintained by the transfer agent.

In accordance with Canadian securities law, the Corporation has distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, this Management Information Circular and the form of proxy (collectively, the "meeting materials") to CDS and intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Holders.

Intermediaries are required to forward meeting materials to Non-Registered Holders unless a Non-Registered Holder has waived the right to receive them. Typically, intermediaries will use a service company to forward the meeting materials to Non-Registered Holders. Non-Registered Holders, other than NOBOs, will receive either a voting instruction form or, less frequently, a form of proxy. The purpose of these forms is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of the Common Shares they beneficially own. Non-Registered Holders should follow the procedures set out below, depending on which type of form they receive.

8

A. Voting Instruction Form. In most cases, a Non-Registered Holder will receive, as part of the meeting materials, a voting instruction form. If the Non-Registered Holder does not wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on the holder's behalf), the voting instruction form must be completed, signed and returned in accordance with the directions on the form. If a Non- Registered Holder wishes to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on the Holder's behalf), the Non-Registered Holder must complete, sign and return the voting instruction form in accordance with the directions provided and a form of proxy giving the right to attend and vote will be forwarded to the Non-Registered Holder.

Or,

B. Form of Proxy. Less frequently, a Non-Registered Holder will receive, as part of the meeting materials, a form of proxy that has already been signed by the intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature) which is restricted as to the number of shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Holder but which is otherwise uncompleted. If the Non-Registered Holder does not wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on the holder's behalf), the Non-Registered Holder must complete the form of proxy and deposit it with the Corporation's registrar and transfer agent, Capital Transfer Agency Inc., 390 Bay Street, Suite 920, Toronto, Ontario M5H 2Y2, as described above. If a Non-Registered Holder wishes to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on the holder's behalf), the Non-Registered Holder must strike out the names of the persons named in the proxy and insert the Non-Registered Holder's (or such other person's) name in the blank space provided.

Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners

These meeting materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered owners of the securities. If you are a non-registered owner, and the Corporation or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding on your behalf. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Corporation (and not the intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instructions or form of proxy delivered to you.

VOTING OF SHARES REPRESENTED BY MANAGEMENT PROXIES

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy will vote the Common Shares in respect of which they are appointed proxy on any ballot that may be called for in accordance with the instructions on the proxy. In the absence of such instructions, such Common Shares will be voted IN FAVOUR of each of the resolutions referred to in the proxy.

The form of proxy accompanying this Circular confers discretionary authority upon the persons named in the proxy with respect to amendments to or variations of matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters, if any, which may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Circular, the management of the Corporation knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting. However, if any other matters, which are not known to management, should properly come before the Meeting, the proxy will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the named proxy.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

The authorized share capital of the Corporation consists of an unlimited number of common shares, an unlimited number of first preferred shares issuable in series and an unlimited number of second preferred shares issuable in series.

To the best of the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Corporation, no person or company beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, directors or exercises cool over more than 10% of the common shares.

PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

  1. PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 and the report of the Corporation's auditors thereon will be placed before the Meeting.

  1. APPOINTMENT AND REMUNERATION OF AUDITORS

Management recommends the appointment of Richter LLP, Chartered Accountants of Toronto, Ontario, as the auditors of the Corporation to hold office until the close of the next annual meeting of the Shareholders at remuneration to be fixed by the directors.
