Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information contained in Item 5.03 of this report is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On June 14, 2024, Salarius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”), with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, to effect a 1-for-8 reverse stock split (the “reverse split”) of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that date (the “Effective Date”). Beginning with the opening of trading on June 17, 2024, the Company’s Common Stock will trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis under a new CUSIP number 79400X404.

As a result of the reverse split, each eight shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued and outstanding will be automatically combined and converted into one issued and outstanding share of Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock will instead receive cash in lieu of fractional shares based on the closing price per share of the Company’s Common Stock as quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the Effective Date (as adjusted to give effect to the reverse split).

The reverse split will not reduce the number of authorized shares of Common Stock or preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”), or change the par values of the Company’s Common Stock or Preferred Stock. The reverse split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s ownership percentage of the Company’s shares of Common Stock (except to the extent that the reverse split would result in some of the stockholders receiving cash in lieu of fractional shares). All outstanding options and warrants entitling their holders to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock will be adjusted as a result of the reverse split, in accordance with the terms of each such security. In addition, the number of shares reserved for future issuance pursuant to the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, and the number of shares reserved for future issuance pursuant to the Company’s 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended, will also be appropriately adjusted.

The foregoing description of the Certificate of Amendment is a summary of the material terms thereof, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, which is filed with this report as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

As a result of the reverse split, as of immediately following the effectiveness of the reverse split, the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock will be adjusted from approximately 4.7 million shares to approximately 0.6 million shares.
