EXPLANATORY NOTE

Sequans Communications S.A. (the “Company”) is a foreign private issuer, and therefore its officers and directors are not required to report insider transactions on Form 3s and Form 4s under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  However, to provide greater transparency to the market, the Board of Directors of the Company have determined to voluntarily report insider transactions in a Form 6-K.  Such reporting will be done on a monthly basis for all insider transactions during the previous month.

On August 2, 2016, Mr. Dominique Pitteloud, a member of the Company's Board of Directors, purchased 1,000 of the Company’s American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) on the open market at a weighted average price per ADS of $1.93.  On August 10, 2016, Mr. Pitteloud purchased an additional 9,000 ADSs on the open market at a weighted average price per ADS of $1.89.  Following these transactions, Mr. Pitteloud beneficially owns 50,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares, either directly or in the form of ADSs.
