Item 8.01 Other Events

As previously disclosed in that Current Report on Form 8-K filed by CV Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 24, 2022 (the “Prior 8-K”), on May 17, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”), the Company failed to repay the outstanding balance ($130,000 plus interest, fees, expenses and certain other amounts) due to an institutional investor (the “Investor”) upon maturity of that certain senior convertible note in the original principal amount of $1.06 million (the “November 2021 Note”) sold and issued by the Company to the Investor on November 14, 2021, resulting in a default under the November 2021 Note (the “Maturity Default”).

As further disclosed in the Prior 8-K, in connection with the Maturity Default, on May 24, 2022, the Company and the Investor entered into a Forbearance Agreement on May 18, 2022, pursuant to which the Investor agreed to forebear exercising any rights or remedies that it may have under the November 2021 Note that may arise as a result of the Maturity Default until the earlier of (i) the date immediately prior to the date of occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event of Default (as defined in the November 2021 Note), (ii) the date of occurrence of any other event of default under Section 4(a) of the November 2021 Note, (iii) the time of any breach by the Company pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, and (v) June 1, 2022 (such period, the “Forbearance Period”). In accordance with the Forbearance Agreement, the Company agreed to repay the Investor the aggregate outstanding principal on the November 2021 Note at a 15% redemption premium, including all accrued and unpaid interest, upon expiration of the Forbearance Period.

As of May 31, 2022, prior to expiration of the Forbearance Period, the Investor had converted the outstanding balance (including the redemption premium and accrued interest) due under the November 2021 Note, amounting to $151,772, into an aggregate of 3,751,971 shares of Company common stock at a conversion price of $0.04 per share. As a result, the November 2021 Note terminated pursuant to its terms and is no longer in default, and the Company no longer has any payment obligations under the November 2021 Note.
