This Amendment
No. 2 to Schedule 13D (this “Schedule 13D”) relates to the
ordinary shares, nominal value €0.02 per share, (“Ordinary Shares”)
of Sequans Communications S.A., a société anonyme incorporated in
France (the “Company”), and is being filed pursuant to Rule 13d-1
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”). The Company’s principal executive offices
are located at 15-55 Boulevard Charles de Gaulle, 92700 Colombes,
France. The Ordinary Shares are represented by American
Depositary Shares, each American Depositary Share representing four
Ordinary Shares (the “ADSs”).
This Amendment No. 2 amends and restates Item 5 as follows:
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
The aggregate
percentage of ADSs reported as owned by each Reporting Person is
based on a total of 131,368,484 Ordinary Shares (equivalent to
32,842,121 ADSs) as reported by the Company in the prospectus filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on December 8,
2020. Each ADS represents four Ordinary Shares.
Based
on calculations made in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d), each
Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own 1,800,000 ADSs,
constituting approximately 5.5% of the outstanding Ordinary
Shares.
CUSIP No. 817323108

SCHEDULE 13D
|
Page 6 of 7

The
Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “person” or “group”
within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. Each
Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities
reported herein except to the extent of its pecuniary interest
therein, and the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed
as an admission of such beneficial ownership or that the Reporting
Persons constitute a person or group.
(a) By
virtue of the relationships between and among the Reporting Persons
described in Item 2 of this Schedule 13D, each of the Reporting
Persons may be deemed to have the sole power to direct the voting
and disposition of the ADSs beneficially owned by the Reporting
Persons.
(b) Except
as otherwise set forth below, to the knowledge of the Reporting
Persons with respect to the persons named in response to Item 2(a),
none of the persons named in response to Item 2(a) has effected any
transactions in the ADSs during the past 60 days:
