Shareholders Entitled to Vote
 
Shareholders of record who held Senstar common shares at the close of business on May 28, 2025 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting.
 
In addition, shareholders who, as of the Record Date, held Senstar common shares through a bank, broker or other nominee which is a shareholder of record of Senstar or which appears in the participant list of a securities depository, are considered to be beneficial owners of shares held in “street name.” These proxy materials are being forwarded to beneficial owners by your bank, broker or other nominee that is considered the holder of record. Beneficial owners have the right to direct how their shares should be voted and are also invited to attend the Meeting but may not actually vote their shares in person at the Meeting (unless appointed as a proxyholder by the holder of record). For those beneficial owners, the bank, broker or other nominee that is a shareholder of record has enclosed a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the holder of record how to vote the shares.
 
As of May 28, 2025, there were 23,326,653 Senstar common shares issued and outstanding, each entitled to one vote each upon each of the matters to be presented at the Meeting.

The information contained in this Proxy Statement is current as of May 28, 2025, unless stated otherwise.
 
Quorum
 
A quorum must be present in order for the Meeting to be held. Pursuant to Senstar's By-Laws, the quorum required for the Meeting consists of at least two shareholders present, in person or by proxy, who hold or represent at least twenty-five percent (25%) of Senstar’s issued and outstanding share capital entitled to vote at the Meeting. The proposals on the agenda at the Meeting do not allow for discretionary voting by banks, brokers or other nominees. If within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting shall be adjourned to June 30, 2025, at the same time and place.


 
Vote Required
 
A simple majority of votes cast at the Meeting on each proposal, whether in person or by proxy, will constitute approval of such proposal.

Each Senstar common share is entitled to one vote on the proposals on the agenda. If two or more persons are registered as joint owners of any Senstar common shares, the right to attend the Meeting shall be conferred upon all of the joint owners, but the right to vote at the Meeting and/or the right to be counted as part of the quorum required for the Meeting shall be conferred exclusively upon the senior among the joint owners attending the Meeting, in person or by proxy, and for this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names appear on Senstar’s Shareholder Register.
 
Only Senstar common shares that are voted will be counted at the Meeting. Senstar common shares present at the Meeting that are not voted on a particular proposal or Senstar common shares present by proxy where the shareholder properly withheld authority to vote on such proposal will not be counted in determining whether such matter is approved by shareholders, but abstentions will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists.
 
Proxies
 
All Senstar common shares represented by properly executed proxies deposited by June 25, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. (Ottawa time), or in the case of any adjournment, no later than 48 hours (excluding weekends and Ontario holidays) prior to the rescheduled Meeting and not revoked prior to or at the Meeting in accordance with the procedure described below will be voted as specified in the instructions indicated in such proxies. If no instructions are indicated, such proxies will be voted in favor of the proposals at the Meeting.
 
Revocation of Proxies
 
A shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke the proxy: (a) by completing and signing a proxy bearing a later date and depositing it as aforesaid; or (b) by depositing an instrument in writing executed by the shareholder or by their attorney authorized in writing or electronic signature: (i) with the Chief Financial Officer of Senstar, 119 John Cavanaugh Drive, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K0A 1L0, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or (ii) with the Chair of the Meeting prior to the commencement of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof; or (c) in any other manner permitted by law. If a shareholder attends the Meeting and votes, their vote will revoke any proxy they previously submitted. Attendance without voting at the Meeting will not in and of itself constitute revocation of a proxy.
 
Solicitation of Proxies
 
Senstar will bear the costs of solicitation of proxies for the Meeting. In addition to solicitation by mail, Senstar’s directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies from shareholders by telephone, email, personal interview or otherwise. Senstar’s directors, officers and employees will not receive additional compensation for such solicitation but may be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such solicitation. Brokers, nominees, fiduciaries and other custodians have been requested to forward soliciting material to the beneficial owners of Senstar common shares held of record by them, and such custodians will be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses. Senstar may reimburse the reasonable charges and expenses of brokerage houses or other nominees or fiduciaries for forwarding proxy materials to, and obtaining authority to execute proxies from, beneficial owners for whose accounts they hold Senstar common shares.
 
As a foreign private issuer, Senstar is exempt, among other things, from the rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements. The circulation of this notice and proxy statement should not be taken as an admission that Senstar is subject to such rules.

PROPOSAL NO. 2 – APPOINTMENT AND COMPENSATION
OF AUDITOR

Shareholders are being asked to appoint Ernst & Young LLP as the auditor of Senstar (the “Auditor”) for the ensuing year to hold office until the close of the next annual meeting of shareholders and authorize the directors to fix the remuneration to be paid to such auditor.

Senstar’s current auditor, Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, has been Senstar’s auditor since February 22, 2024 and previously served as the auditor of our predecessor, Senstar Technologies Ltd. However, in connection with our re-domiciliation transaction which was effective March 2024.

We are now required by the OBCA to prepare annual financial statements in accordance with the financial reporting standards set forth in the Handbook of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“IFRS”) and audited in accordance with the standards set forth in the Handbook of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“Canadian GAAS”) (collectively, the “Canadian Audited Financial Statements” ).

Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer is not registered in Ontario and is not able to prepare the required Canadian Audited Financial Statements. There is no disagreement or unresolved issue with Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer.

The proposed Auditor replacement is solely as a result of the re-domiciliation transaction and the technical requirement for Senstar to produce the Canadian Audited Financial Statements.

Senstar will continue to provide shareholders with financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and audited in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board of the United States of America (“US GAAS”), consistent with its past practice.

(2)
Tax fees are for professional services rendered by our auditor for tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice on actual or contemplated transactions, tax consulting associated to international taxation, tax assessment deliberation, transfer pricing and withholding tax assessment.

Other fees primarily relate to out of pocket reimbursement of expenses and primarily traveling expenses of Senstar’s auditor. These fees also relate to fees associated with the conflict minerals work plan, due diligence, and the Risk Assessment Service.
 
Senstar’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024, including its 2024 audited consolidated financial statements and the report of the independent public accountants thereon, is available at the “Investors” portion of the website, at https://senstar.com/investors/sec-filings/.

We are proposing the following resolution:
 
RESOLVED, that Ernst & Young LLP appointed as Senstar’s auditor for the ensuing year and the directors be authorized to fix the remuneration to be paid to such auditor.

Senstar’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors unanimously recommend a vote “FOR” approval of Proposal No. 2.

Vote Required

A simple majority of votes cast at the Meeting on Proposal No. 2, whether in person or by proxy, will constitute approval of Proposal No. 2.

OTHER MATTERS
 
Senstar is unaware at this time of any other matters that will come before the meeting. If any other matters properly come before the meeting, it is the intention of the persons designated as proxies to vote in accordance with their judgment on such matters. Senstar common shares represented by executed and unrevoked proxies will be voted in accordance with such judgment.

MISCELLANEOUS
 

As a result of the re-domiciliation, Senstar is required under the OBCA to prepare Canadian Audited Financial Statements. However, given Senstar’s historical practice of preparing financial statements in accordance with US GAAP and audited under US GAAS, Senstar sought relief from these technical requirements from the Commercial List of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

We successfully obtained an order permitting Senstar to present audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, in accordance with US GAAP and US GAAS, in lieu of the Canadian Audited Financial Statements. This enables us to present financial statements at this Meeting that are consistent with Senstar’s established reporting practices.

As outlined in Proposal 2, Senstar proposes to appoint a new auditor qualified in Ontario, capable of preparing Canadian Audited Financial Statements going forward. For clarity, Senstar will continue to prepare and audit financial statements in accordance with US GAAP and US GAAS, maintaining continuity with past practices.

The court order also required Senstar to disclose in this proxy statement that the application was made, the relief was granted, and that this relief does not affect shareholders’ rights to apply to the court to have the order amended or set aside if they notify Senstar.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION
 
Senstar files annual and periodic reports and other information with the SEC under the Exchange Act. The SEC also maintains an Internet website that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers, including Senstar, who file electronically with the SEC. The address of that site is www.sec.gov.
