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 future insider transactions in a Form 6-K.
On February 24, 2016, Mr. Yves Maitre, member of the board of directors, sold 18,000 of the Company’s American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) on the open market at a weighted average price per ADS of $2.30. Following this transaction, Mr. Maitre beneficially owns none of the Company’s ordinary shares, either directly or in the form of ADSs.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
