Explanatory Note
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this "Amendment") updates information disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 17, 2019 (the "Original Form 8-K") relating to the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of CV Sciences, Inc. (the "Company") held on June 11, 2019 (the "Annual Meeting"). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose the Company's decision regarding how frequently it will conduct future advisory votes on named executive officer compensation.  No other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K.

Item 5.07
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
Proposal 7 - Advisory Vote as to Whether the Advisory Vote to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation Should Take Place Every 1, 2, or 3 Years

As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, at the Annual Meeting a non-binding advisory vote was conducted on the frequency of future advisory votes for named executive officer compensation. The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") recommended that the frequency of the advisory votes be held every three (3) years. However, the stockholders, based on a non-binding vote, recommended that the frequency of such advisory votes be held every year.

On November 6, 2019, the Board determined, consistent with the vote of the Company's stockholders, to submit a resolution on the compensation of the Company's named executive officers to the Company's stockholders for an advisory vote every year in its proxy materials (the next such vote being at the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company) until the next required vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on the compensation of the Company's named executive officers.
