      <b>EXPLANATORY NOTE</b>
    </p>
    <p>
      Sequans Communications S.A. (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) 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.&#160; 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.&#160;&#160;Such reporting will be done on a monthly basis for all insider
      transactions during the previous month..&#160;&#160;
    </p>
    <p>
      In connection with a Rule 10b5-1 plan, established in May 2015,&#160;&#160;Mr.
      Georges Karam, chairman of the board of directors and chief executive
      officer, sold 140,000 of the Company&#8217;s American Depositary Shares
      (&#8220;ADSs&#8221;) on the open market during the month of March 2016 at a weighted
      average price per ADS of $2.6045.&#160; Following these transactions, Mr.
      Karam beneficially owns 2,907,428 of the Company&#8217;s ordinary shares,
      either directly or in the form of ADSs.
    </p>
    <p>
      Under Rule 10b5-1, adopted by the SEC in 2000,&#160;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.
