Exhibit 99.3

AUTOLUS LIMITED 2017 NON-EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION PLAN

SUB-PLAN FOR US PARTICIPANTS

Board adoption March 22, 2018

Please note: The provisions of the Autolus Limited 2017 Non-Employee Share Option Plan Sub-Plan for US Participants (“US Non-Employee Plan”) are based on and linked to the provisions of the Autolus Limited 2017 Share Option Plan US-Sub Plan for US Participants (“US Employee Plan”). However, the provisions of the US Non-Employee Plan do not form part of the US Employee Plan, and any changes to the US Employee Plan will not take effect in this US Non-Employee Plan unless the Board resolves that this should be the case.

 

1. Provisions of the US Non-Employee Plan

The provisions of the US Employee Plan, including the California Supplement shall, with the following modifications, form the provisions of the US Non-Employee Plan.

 

    1 – “Purpose and Applicability” shall be replaced with the following:

“(a) This Sub-Plan applies to Participants of the Autolus Limited 2017 Non-Employee Share Option Plan (“Non-Employee Plan”) who are either US residents or US taxpayers. Pursuant to Section 17.1 of the Non-Employee Plan, the Board of Directors of the Company has the authority to amend the Non-Employee Plan and establish a sub-plan for the benefit of participants overseas. The purpose of the US Non-Employee Plan is to facilitate compliance with US tax, securities and other applicable laws.

(b) Except as otherwise provided by the US Non-Employee Plan, all Option grants made to US Participants will be governed by the terms of the Non-Employee Plan, when read together with the US Non-Employee Plan. In any case of an irreconcilable contradiction (as determined by the Board) between the provisions of the US Non-Employee Plan and the Non-Employee Plan, the provisions of the US Non-Employee Plan will govern. Capitalized terms contained herein have the same meanings given to them in the Non-Employee Plan, unless otherwise provided by the US Non-Employee Plan.

(c) This Plan is effective as of March 22, 2018, the date the Board resolved to adopt the Plan.”

 

    For the purposes of the US Non-Employee Plan, “U.S. Sub-Plan” shall mean the US Non-Employee Plan and “the Plan” shall mean the Non-Employee Plan.

 

    Options granted under the US Non-Employee Plan shall be Nonstatutory Stock Options and all references to Incentive Stock Options and associated provisions shall be disregarded.

 

    The reference in 3(b) to “Eligibility” shall be replaced with “Options may be granted to Eligible Participants only.”

 

    References to “employees” shall be replaced with references to “participants”.

 

2. Limits

Any limits on Plan Shares available for award under Rule 4 of the Autolus Limited 2017 Share Option Plan shall apply on an aggregate basis to awards under the Autolus Limited 2017 Share Option Plan US-Sub Plan for US Participants, the Non-Employee Plan and the US Non-Employee Plan. In addition, subject to adjustment upon a Reorganisation under Section 3(g) of the US-Sub Plan for US Participants, the maximum number of Plan Shares that may be issued under the US Non-Employee Plan is 8,577,488 Plan Shares.
