YEHUD, Israel, Aug. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Senstar
Technologies (name change from Magal Security Systems, Ltd. is
pending) (NASDAQ: MAGS), a leading international
provider of comprehensive physical, video, and access control
security products and solutions, announced today that the Board of
Directors has declared a cash distribution to shareholders in the
amount of $1.725 per share
(approximately $40 million in the
aggregate), following the approval of the shareholders and the
receipt of court approval in Israel. The cash distribution will be paid in
US$ on September 22, 2021 to
shareholders of record on August 31,
2021. According to NASDAQ, the ex-dividend date for NASDAQ
trading will be September 23, 2021,
the day after the payment date.
Nasdaq Rule 1114(b)(2) provides that if the value of a cash
distribution is 25% or greater than the value of the subject
security, the ex- dividend date will be the first business day
after the payable date. On September 23,
2021, the ex-dividend date, NASDAQ will reset the opening
trading price of Senstar Technologies' ordinary shares to reflect
the payment of the cash distribution. While an investor generally
needs to own the shares on the payable date to be entitled to the
cash distribution, investors should consult with their financial
advisors as to their entitlement to the cash distribution. The
trading price for Senstar Technologies' ordinary shares on the
ex-dividend date is expected to be lower than the closing price on
September 22, 2021, the last trading
date before the ex-dividend date, to reflect the amount of the cash
distribution.
In accordance with Israeli tax law, Senstar Technologies will
withhold 25% of the gross amount of the cash distribution paid to
shareholders. Senstar Technologies intends to file a request for a
ruling from the Israel Tax Authority 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.
For that purpose, Senstar Technologies intends to appoint IBI Trust
Management as paying agent to act in accordance with the Israeli
Tax Ordinance requirements. A shareholder who is subject to a lower
tax rate whether as a resident of a country with which Israel has a treaty for the avoidance of
double taxation or for any other reason may contact the paying
agent to inquire about such shareholder's eligibility to a lower
tax rate. Such shareholder may submit to the paying agent the
documentation as will be specified in the instructions letter
which, following receipt of the tax ruling from the Israeli Tax
Authority (if received), will be posted on Senstar Technologies'
website under the "Investors Relations" tab. Subject to complying
with the applicable requirements and submitting all the required
documents, the paying agent will transfer the tax amount difference
to the shareholder's bank account in the manner specified in the
instructions letter. The paying agent contact details are
IBI-CM@IBI.co.il, telephone: +972-50-620-9410, 9 Ahad Ha'am St.,
Tel-Aviv, Israel.
