Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

As previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 21, 2020 by CV Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), on April 17, 2020, the Company was granted a loan in the principal amount of $2,906,195 (the “PPP Loan”) from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Lender”), which PPP Loan was granted pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, as administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The PPP Loan was evidenced by a promissory note, which bore interest at a rate of 0.98% per annum and was scheduled to mature on April 15, 2022.

On September 8, 2021, the Company received confirmation from the Lender that the SBA approved the Company’s PPP Loan forgiveness application for the entire PPP Loan, including all accrued interest to date. The forgiveness of the PPP Loan will be recognized as a gain on debt extinguishment in the financial results for the Company's third fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021.
