Exhibit 10.1

FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE AVROBIO, INC.

2018 STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN

This First Amendment (this “Amendment”) to the AVROBIO, Inc. 2018 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), of AVROBIO, Inc. (the “Company”) is effective as of the date of approval by the Company’s stockholders (the “Effective Date”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan.

As of the Effective Date, the Plan shall be amended as follows:

1.

Section 3(a) of the Plan is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

(a)Stock Issuable.  The maximum number of shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be 6,349,279 shares (the “Initial Limit”), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(c), plus on each of January 1, 2021 and January 1, 2022, the number of shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be cumulatively increased by 4 percent of the number of shares of Stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31 or such lesser number of shares as determined by the Administrator (the “Annual Increase”). For purposes of this limitation, the shares of Stock underlying any Awards under the Plan and under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2015 Stock Option and Grant Plan that are forfeited, canceled, held back upon exercise of an Option or settlement of an Award to cover the exercise price or tax withholding, reacquired by the Company prior to vesting, satisfied without the issuance of Stock or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any such shares of Stock that are subject to such treatment between April 16, 2020 and the Effective Date) shall be added back to the shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan. In the event the Company repurchases shares of Stock on the open market, such shares shall not be added to the shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan. Subject to such overall limitation, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued in the form of Incentive Stock Options shall not exceed the Initial Limit cumulatively increased on each of January 1, 2021 and January 1, 2022 by the lesser of the Annual Increase for such year or 19,047,837 shares of Stock, subject in all cases to adjustment as provided in Section 3(c). Subject to such overall limitations, shares of Stock may be issued up to such maximum number pursuant to any type or types of Award. The shares available for issuance under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares of Stock or shares of Stock reacquired by the Company.

 

2.

Except as expressly amended by this Amendment, the Plan shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the provisions thereof.
