SUPPLEMENT DATED JUNE 27, 2019
(To proxy statement/prospectus/information statement dated April 29, 2019)
Date of Reconvened Special Meeting: July 12, 2019
YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT
To the Stockholders of Flex Pharma, Inc.:
This is the first supplement to the proxy statement/prospectus/information statement which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 2019, that was first mailed to the stockholders of Flex Pharma, Inc. (Flex Pharma) on or about May 3, 2019. The proxy statement/prospectus/information statement related to the special meeting of stockholders (the Special Meeting) at which stockholders would be asked to approve, among other things, certain aspects of a business combination transaction in which the businesses of Flex Pharma and Salarius Pharmaceuticals, LLC (Salarius) will be combined (the Merger). The Special Meeting originally convened on June 14, 2019, and was adjourned to July 12, 2019. The adjourned Special Meeting will take place on Friday, July 12, 2019 at 10:00 A.M. local time at the offices of Cooley LLP, 500 Boylston Street, 14th Floor, Boston MA 02116.
We are providing you with this supplement to provide you with recent information that we have learned about the discretionary authority of brokers to vote shares on Proposal No. 2 (the reverse stock split) and Proposal No. 4 (adjournment of the Special Meeting). Under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) that govern how brokers may vote shares for which they have not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner, brokers are permitted to exercise discretionary voting authority only on routine matters. In the proxy statement/prospectus/information statement, we stated that under the rules of the NYSE, the proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting (the Flex Proposals), were non-discretionary matters. However, following recent discussions with the NYSE, we have determined that Proposal No. 2 (the reverse stock split) and Proposal No. 4 (adjournment of the Special Meeting) are considered to be routine matters, and brokers are permitted to exercise discretionary voting authority with respect to such proposals. Therefore, Flex Pharma hereby amends the proxy statement/prospectus/information statement to clarify that Proposal No. 2 (the reverse stock split) and Proposal No. 4 (adjournment of the Special Meeting) are routine matters and that, as such, a broker will have discretion to vote a stockholders shares on Proposal No. 2 (the reverse stock split) and Proposal No. 4 (adjournment of the Special Meeting) even if the broker has received no voting instructions from the stockholder with respect to those proposals.
The remaining Flex Proposals (Proposals No. 1 and 3) are considered non-routine matters, and therefore non-discretionary, under applicable NYSE rules. A broker or other nominee cannot vote without instructions on those non-routine matters.
In addition, we are pleased to announce that, on June 27, 2019, Flex Pharma, Salarius, and Falcon Acquisition Sub, LLC entered into Amendment No. 1 (the Amendment) to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated January 3, 2019 (as amended, the Merger Agreement). In addition to extending the term of the Merger Agreement, the parties have agreed to provide additional flexibility to Flex Pharma stockholders who will be receiving rights so that the rights will be transferrable separately from Flex Pharmas common stock associated with such rights.
Regardless of the number of shares of common stock you own, your vote is important. You do not have to take any action if you have previously voted your shares on the Flex Proposals and do not wish to change your vote. If you have already voted or given your proxy and wish to change your vote, you should follow the procedures described below.
Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, if you have not already voted, we urge you to submit a proxy as promptly as possible to authorize in advance of the Special Meeting the voting of your shares by using one of the methods described in the proxy statement/prospectus/information statement and described below. Even if you hold your shares in street name, Flex Pharma urges you to provide voting instructions on all of the Flex Proposals to the organization that holds your shares to ensure that your shares will be represented at the Special Meeting.
For your convenience, we have enclosed a new proxy card with this supplement. If you have already delivered a properly executed proxy and do not wish to change your vote, you do not need to do anything. If you have not previously voted or if you wish to revoke or change your vote, please complete, date, sign and return the enclosed proxy card or submit a proxy by telephone or via the internet using the instructions on the enclosed proxy card. If you hold your stock in street name through a bank, broker or other nominee, please direct your bank, broker or other nominee to vote in accordance with the instructions you have received from your bank, broker or other nominee. Your cooperation in voting your shares will be greatly appreciated.
This supplement contains additional information about the Amendment. We urge you to carefully read this supplement, including the Amendment, attached as Annex S-A to this supplement, together with the proxy statement/prospectus/information statement. In particular, you should carefully consider the matters discussed under the section entitled Risk Factors beginning on page 21 of the proxy statement/prospectus/information statement.
If you would like additional copies, without charge, of this supplement or the proxy statement/prospectus/information statement or if you have questions about the Merger, including the procedures for voting your shares, you should contact Flex Pharmas proxy solicitor:

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS SUPPLEMENT
The following provides brief answers to some of the more likely questions Flex Pharma stockholders may have in connection with this supplement. This supplement may not contain all of the information that is important to you. We urge you to read this supplement and the proxy statement/prospectus/information statement carefully.
Q: Why are you sending me this supplement and a new proxy card?
A: We are sending you this supplement and new proxy card because (i) we have determined that Proposal No. 2 (the reverse stock split) and Proposal No. 4 (adjournment of the Special Meeting) are considered to be routine matters, thereby permitting brokers to exercise discretionary voting authority with respect to such proposals and (ii) on June 27, 2019, Flex Pharma, Salarius, and Falcon Acquisition Sub, LLC entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, providing Flex Pharma stockholders who will be receiving rights additional flexibility so that the rights will be transferrable separately from Flex Pharmas common stock associated with such rights. A copy of the Amendment is attached as Annex S-A to this supplement. We encourage you to read the Amendment in its entirety, and, if you have not done so already, to read the proxy statement/prospectus/information statement in its entirety.
Q: Why is the reverse stock split necessary?
A: According to applicable Nasdaq rules, in order for Flex Pharmas common stock to continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, Flex Pharma must satisfy certain requirements established by such market. Flex Pharmas board of directors expects that a reverse stock split of Flex Pharmas common stock will increase the market price of Flex Pharmas common stock so that Flex Pharma is able to maintain compliance with the relevant Nasdaq listing requirements for the foreseeable future.
Q: How can I vote my Flex Pharma shares without attending the Special Meeting?
A: If you have not previously voted, and you are a Flex Pharma stockholder, whether you hold shares directly as the stockholder of record or beneficially in street name, you may direct your vote without attending the Special Meeting. You may vote by granting a proxy or, for shares held in street name, by submitting voting instructions to your broker or other nominee. In most instances, you will be able to do this over the internet, by telephone or by mail. Please refer to the summary instructions below and the instructions included on your proxy card or, for shares held in street name, the voting instruction card provided by your broker or other nominee.
| By internet: If you have internet access, you may submit your proxy by following the internet voting instructions on the proxy card or voting instruction card sent to you. |
| By Telephone: You may submit your proxy by following the telephone voting instructions on the proxy card or voting instruction card sent to you. |
| By Mail: You may do this by marking, dating and signing your proxy card or, for shares held in street name, the voting instruction card provided to you by your broker or other nominee, and mailing it in the enclosed, self-addressed, postage prepaid envelope. No postage is required if mailed in the United States. |
3
Q: Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?
A: Any Flex Pharma stockholder of record voting by proxy, other than those Flex Pharma stockholders who have executed a voting agreement and irrevocable proxy, has the right to revoke the proxy:
| by sending a written notice at any time before the polls close at the Special Meeting stating that you would like to revoke your proxy to the Corporate Secretary of Flex Pharma; |
| by, at any time before the polls close at the Special Meeting, providing a duly executed proxy card bearing a later date than the proxy being revoked; |
| by, before 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on July 11, 2019, submitting a proxy on a later date by telephone or via the internet (only your last telephone or internet proxy will be counted); or |
| by attending the special meeting and voting in person. Attendance alone at the special meeting will not revoke a proxy. If a stockholder of Flex Pharma has instructed a broker to vote its shares of Flex Pharmas common stock that are held in street name, the stockholder must follow directions received from its broker to change those instructions. |
Q: What are the amendments to the Merger Agreement?
A: The primary purpose of the Amendment is to provide Flex Pharma stockholders who will be receiving rights additional flexibility so that the rights will be transferrable separately from Flex Pharmas common stock associated with such rights. In addition, the Amendment extends the date Flex Pharmas special meeting must be held by, and extends the date that gives Flex Pharma or Salarius a right to terminate the Merger Agreement.
Q: How will the Amendment impact what I will receive in connection with the Merger?
A: The Amendment does not change the amount of what you will receive in connection with the Merger. At or prior to the closing of the Merger, Flex Pharma will pay a dividend of or distribute one right per share of Flex Pharmas common stock to its current stockholders of record as of a date and time determined by Flex Pharmas board of directors. Each right will entitle such stockholders to receive a warrant to purchase shares of Flex Pharmas common stock six months and one day following the closing date of the Merger. The rights were expected to be evidenced by the certificate for the associated share of Flex Pharma common stock, and transferrable only in connection with the transfer of the associated shares of Flex Pharma common stock. Pursuant to the Amendment, these rights will be transferrable separately from the Flex Pharma common stock associated with such rights. For more information regarding the rights and warrants, we encourage you to read the proxy statement/prospectus/information statement in its entirety.
Q: When and where is the reconvened special meeting?
A: The reconvened special meeting of Flex Pharma stockholders will be held on Friday, July 12, 2019 at 10:00 A.M. local time at the offices of Cooley LLP, 500 Boylston Street, 14th Floor, Boston MA 02116. You may attend the reconvened special meeting and vote your shares in person, rather than completing, signing, dating and returning your proxy or submitting your proxy over the internet, by telephone or by mail.
4
Q: When do you expect to complete the Merger?
A: We cannot assure you when, or if, the Merger will occur because we must first obtain the approval of Flex Pharma stockholders at the reconvened special meeting. If approved by Flex Pharma stockholders, it is anticipated that the Merger will be completed promptly following such approval. However, it is possible that factors outside our control could require us to complete the Merger at a later time or not complete it at all.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus/information statement, all proxies received by Flex Pharma will be effective, notwithstanding any transfer of the shares to which those proxies relate, unless prior to the closing of the polls at the Special Meeting, Flex Pharma receives a written notice of revocation signed by the person who, as of the record date, was the registered holder of those shares. The notice of revocation must indicate the certificate number and numbers of shares to which the revocation relates and the aggregate number of shares represented by the certificate(s). All written notices should be addressed as follows: Flex Pharma, Inc., 31 St. James Avenue, 6th Floor, Boston, MA 02116, Attention: Corporate Secretary.
To revoke a proxy previously submitted by telephone or through the internet, you may simply vote again at a later date, using the same procedures, in which case your later submitted vote will be recorded and your earlier vote revoked. Attendance at the Special Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you change your proxy instructions as described above.
For shares held beneficially by you in street name, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker or other nominee in accordance with the procedures established by it. Please contact your broker or other nominee and follow its directions to change your vote.

This supplement also constitutes a supplement to the proxy statement of Flex Pharma for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. You should not assume that the information contained in this supplement is accurate as of any date other than June 27, 2019, the date of this supplement.
