Dear Fellow Stockholder:

I am writing to inform you that the location of the Spark Therapeutics, Inc. 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or the Annual Meeting, has changed from the location indicated in our proxy statement dated July 22, 2019 that was previously provided to you via the Internet and in the Notice of Annual Meeting that you received in the mail. The new location of the Annual Meeting is The Study at University City, Banquet Salon, 20 S. 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104.

I am also enclosing an amended Notice of 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders that reflects the change in location of the Annual Meeting.

VOTING MATTERS

The proxy card previously sent to you remains valid, and we will not distribute new proxy cards. Shares represented by proxy cards returned before the Annual Meeting will be voted with respect to all matters properly brought before the Annual Meeting as instructed on the proxy card.

I look forward to seeing you at our Annual Meeting.

Sincerely,

/s/ Jeffrey D. Marrazzo
