Subject Company: Salarius Pharmaceuticals, LLC

SEC File No.: 001-36812

Flex Pharma, Inc. intends to use the following script in calls with certain of its stockholders beginning on or around May 17, 2019.

Hello [name],

This is [Bill McVicar] [John McCabe], the [President and CEO] [CFO] of Flex Pharma. Thank you for continuing to be a shareholder of Flex Pharma.

By now you should have received proxy materials detailing the planned merger of Flex Pharma’s subsidiary and Salarius Pharmaceuticals, along with the information required for you to vote your shares. Have you received the proxy materials?

[If no, then…]

[If yes, then…]

Great! As indicated in the proxy materials, Flex’s Board of Directors unanimously recommends voting to support the merger by voting “FOR” all proposals detailed in the proxy materials.

We would very much appreciate your support. If Flex is to complete the merger, shareholders must approve Proposals 1, 2 and 3. A vote against any proposal puts the merger at risk.

I should note that if the merger is not completed, our board of directors would likely decide to pursue a dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the company, as noted on page 27 of the proxy materials.

If you have any questions I will be happy to answer what I can, or refer you to the relevant information in our SEC filings. Can I be of any help to you today, or are you all set? [Answer questions as needed referring to SEC-filed information.]

Thank you again for your time and support. Goodbye.
