Item 1. Security and Issuer.
This Statement on 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 “Issuer”). The Ordinary Shares are represented by American Depositary Shares, each American Depositary Share representing one Ordinary Share (the “ADSs”). The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at 19 Le Parvis, 92073 Paris-La Défense, France.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
This Statement on Schedule 13D is filed jointly by (i) the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations, a French special public entity (établissement special) (“CDC”), (ii) Bpifrance Participations S.A., a société anonyme incorporated under the laws of the Republic of France (“Bpifrance”), (iii) BPI-Groupe (bpifrance), a société anonyme incorporated under the laws of the Republic of France (“BPI”), (iv) EPIC BPI-Groupe, a French public institution of industrial and commercial nature (“EPIC”), (v) the Fonds de Co-Investissement Direct, a fonds commun de placement à risques formed under the laws of the Republic of France (“FCID”), (vi) Bpifrance Investissement, a société par actions simplifiée formed under the laws of the Republic of France (“Bpifrance Investissement”), and (vii) Nicolas Dufourcq, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bpifrance Investissement. CDC, Bpifrance, BPI, EPIC, FCID, Bpifrance Investissement and Nicolas Dufourcq are referred to herein collectively as the “Reporting Persons.” The principal address for CDC is 56, rue de Lille, 75007 Paris, France. The principal address for Bpifrance, BPI, EPIC, FCID, Bpifrance Investissement and Nicolas Dufourcq is 27-31, avenue du Général Leclerc, 94710 Maisons-Alfort Cedex, France.
Bpifrance is a French public investment fund specializing in the business of equity financing via direct investments or fund of funds. Bpifrance is the wholly-owned subsidiary of BPI, a French financial institution especially created for this purpose. CDC and EPIC each hold 50% of the share capital of BPI and jointly control BPI. CDC is principally engaged in the business of long-term investments. EPIC, a French public institution of industrial and commercial nature, is principally engaged in the business of banking finance.
FCID is a French venture capital mutual fund specializing in small and medium-sized technology companies. All of its units are held by FSI PME Portefeuille, a fonds commun de placement à risques formed under the laws of the Republic of France, wholly owned by Bpifrance Participations and represented by Bpifrance Investissement. FCID is represented in all matters by Bpifrance Investissement, its management company (société de gestion) regulated as such by the French Autorité des marchés financiers. As a société par actions simplifiée, pursuant to its bylaws, Bpifrance Investissement is governed by its board of directors. Nicolas Dufourcq, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bpifrance Investissement, may be deemed to have shared voting and investment power over the Ordinary Shares. However, Nicolas Dufourcq disclaims beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares and this Statement on Schedule 13D is not an admission that he is the beneficial owner of the Ordinary Shares.
As of the date hereof, Bpifrance holds directly 4,791,187 Ordinary Shares and FCID holds directly 1,571,574 Ordinary Shares. As of the date hereof, none of BPI, CDC, EPIC, Bpifrance Investissement or Nicolas Dufourcq holds any Ordinary Shares directly. BPI may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 6,362,761 Ordinary Shares, indirectly through its sole ownership of Bpifrance, who in addition to its direct
Page 9
holding of 4,791,187 Ordinary Shares has an indirect holding of 1,571,574 Ordinary Shares held by FCID. CDC and EPIC may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 6,362,761 Ordinary Shares, indirectly through their joint ownership and control of BPI. Bpifrance Investissement and Nicolas Dufourcq may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 1,571,574 Ordinary Shares through their control of FCID. Nicolas Dufourcq disclaims beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares and this Statement on Schedule 13D is not an admission that he is the beneficial owner of Ordinary Shares.
Attached as Appendices A, B, C, D and E to Item 2 is information concerning the executive officers and directors of Bpifrance, BPI, CDC, EPIC and Bpifrance Investissement, respectively, required to be disclosed in response to Item 2 and General Instruction C to Schedule 13D. FCID is formed under the laws of the Republic France as a fonds commun de placement à risques. FCID does not have legal capacity under French law or its own personnel, and is represented in all respects by Bpifrance Investissement, its manager. Nicolas Dufourcq is a citizen of France and his business address is c/o Bpifrance Investissement, 27-31, avenue du Général Leclerc, 94710 Maisons-Alfort Cedex, France.
None of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of the persons referred to in Appendices A, B, C, D and E to Item 2 has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and similar misdemeanors) or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree, or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
During the period starting on December 31, 2007 and ending on March 14, 2011, FCID purchased securities issued by the Issuer, including common shares, various classes of preference shares and convertible notes convertible into preference shares of the Issuer. Those securities were purchased from other security holders, including Dr. Karam, or from the Issuer by participating in its capital increases in February 2008, October 2009 and July 2010. FCID obtained the funds to purchase these securities from working capital. At or prior to the Issuer’s initial public offering as described in the Issuer’s prospectus dated April 14, 2011 and filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, all convertible notes convertible into preference shares held by FCID were so converted. At the time of the Issuer’s initial public offering, all preference shares issued by it were converted into Common Shares. In 2011, FCID disposed of some of the Common Shares then held by it. As of the date hereof, FCID holds directly 1,571,574 Common Shares, representing 2.7% of the Ordinary Shares.
On November 26, 2013, Bpifrance purchased 4,791,187 Ordinary Shares from the underwriters for an aggregate purchase price of $8,624,136.60, at the closing of the capital increase transaction described in the Issuer’s prospectus supplement filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 21, 2013. Bpifrance obtained the funds to purchase the Ordinary Shares from working capital.
Page 10
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
All of the Ordinary Shares that are held of record by the Reporting Persons as reported herein were acquired for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons retain the right to change their investment intent, from time to time to acquire additional Ordinary Shares or other securities of the Issuer, or to sell or otherwise dispose of all or part of the Ordinary Shares or other securities of the Issuer, if any, beneficially owned by them, in any manner permitted by law. The Reporting Persons may engage from time to time in ordinary course transactions with financial institutions with respect to the securities described herein.
In connection with its purchase of the Ordinary Shares, Bpifrance and Dr. Georges Karam, chairman of the board of directors of the Issuer, entered into a letter agreement dated November 20, 2013 (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, Dr. Karam has agreed, subject to certain exceptions, so long as Bpifrance or BPI owns at least 5% of the outstanding shares or voting rights of the Issuer, (i) to support the designation of a director by Bpifrance to serve on the Issuer’s board of directors, and (ii) to hold at least (x) 2,485,942 ordinary shares of the Issuer, which represents 80% of his current share ownership (not including stock options), until at least 12 months after the offering and (y) 1,533,714 ordinary shares of the Issuer, which represents 50% of his current share ownership (not including stock options), until December 1, 2016. The description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, and is incorporated herein by reference.
Except as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons currently has any plans or proposals which would be related to or would result in any of the matters described in Items 4(a)-(j) of the Instructions to Schedule 13D. However, as part of the ongoing evaluation of investment and investment alternatives, the Reporting Persons may consider such matters and, subject to applicable law, may formulate a plan with respect to such matters, and, from time to time, may hold discussions with or make formal proposals to management or the board of directors of the Issuer or other third parties regarding such matters.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
On November 26, 2013, Bpifrance purchased 4,791,187 Ordinary Shares from the underwriters as set out in Item 4 above. Pursuant to previous transactions as set out in Item 4 above, FCID held directly 1,571,574 Ordinary Shares as of November 26, 2013. Directly and indirectly through FCID, Bpifrance holds 6,362,761 Ordinary Shares, and all such Ordinary Shares are represented by ADRs. BPI may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 6,362,761 Ordinary Shares, indirectly through its sole ownership of Bpifrance. CDC and EPIC may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 6,362,761 Ordinary Shares, indirectly through their joint ownership and control of BPI. Bpifrance Investissement and Nicolas Dufourcq may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 1,571,574 Ordinary Shares through their control of FCID. Nicolas Dufourcq disclaims beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares and this Statement on Schedule 13D is not an admission that he is the beneficial owner of Ordinary Shares.
As set out in Item 4 above, in connection with its purchase of the Ordinary Shares, Bpifrance also entered into the Agreement relating to the Common Shares with Dr. Georges Karam, chairman of the board of directors of the Issuer.
