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 officer and director transactions during the previous month.

On November 6, 2020, Mr. Yves Maitre, a member of the Company's Board of Directors, purchased a total of 12,500 of the Company’s American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) on the open market at a weighted average price per ADS of $3.98. Following this transaction, Mr. Maitre beneficially owns 38,750 of the Company’s ADSs. This amount excludes any exercisable warrants.
