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 has determined to voluntarily report future insider transactions in a Form 6-K.
On October 27, 2015, Mr. Dominique Pitteloud, a member of the Company's Board of Directors, purchased 7,900 of the Company’s American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) on the open market at a weighted average price per ADS of $1.4488. Following this transaction, Mr. Pitteloud beneficially owns 30,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares, either directly or in the form of ADSs.
