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.

In connection with a Rule 10b5-1 plan, established in May 2017, Mr. Bertrand Debray, chief operating officer, sold a total of 5,600 of the Company’s American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) on the open market on September 5, 11, 18 and 25, 2017, at a weighted average price per ADS of $3.33.  Following these transactions, Mr. Debray owns 754,192 of the Company’s ordinary shares, either directly or in the form of ADSs, excluding shares which may result from the exercise of stock options or the vesting of restricted shares.

Under Rule 10b5-1, adopted by the SEC in 2000, stockholders, directors, officers and other insiders who may regularly possess material nonpublic information (MNPI) but who nonetheless wish to buy or sell stock may adopt a written plan to buy or sell stock in the future if the plan is adopted at a time when they are not in possession of MNPI. A 10b5-1 plan typically takes the form of a contract between the insider and his or her broker.
