Autolus Launches Roadshow for Initial Public Offering

Autolus Therapeutics Limited (to be reorganised as Autolus Therapeutics plc) (“Autolus”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing next-generation programmed T cell therapies, today announced that it has begun the roadshow for its initial public offering in the United States of up to 7,812,500 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) representing 7,812,500 ordinary shares. The initial public offering price is currently expected to be between $15.00 and $17.00 per ADS, before underwriting discounts and commissions, which would result in an approximate total offering size of between $117.2 million and $132.8 million. Autolus also expects to grant to the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,171,875 ADSs at the initial public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. All ADSs to be sold in the proposed offering will be sold by Autolus. Autolus has applied to list its ADSs on The Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol "AUTL."

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Jefferies LLC are acting as joint book-running managers for the offering. Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and William Blair & Company, L.L.C. are acting as lead managers.

The proposed offering will be made only by means of a prospectus.
