<u>Autocallable Strategic Accelerated Redemption Securities<sup>®</sup><br> Linked to a Basket of Three Financial Sector Stocks, due June , 2028</u>  

Summary

The Autocallable Strategic Accelerated Redemption Securities<sup>®</sup> Linked to a Basket of Three Financial Sector Stocks, due June , 2028 (the "notes") are our senior unsecured debt securities. The notes are not guaranteed or insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency of the United States, Canada or any other jurisdiction or secured by collateral. The notes are not bail-inable debt securities (as defined on page 6 of the prospectus). **The notes will rank equally with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated debt. Any payments due on the notes, including any repayment of principal, will be subject to the credit risk of CIBC.** The notes will be automatically called at the applicable Call Amount if the Observation Level of the Market Measure, which is the basket of three financial sector stocks described below (the "Basket"), on any Observation Date is equal to or greater than the Starting Value. You will not receive any notice from us if the notes are automatically called. If your notes are not called, you will lose all or a portion of the principal amount of your notes. Any payments on the notes will be calculated based on the $10 principal amount per unit and will depend on the performance of the Basket, subject to our credit risk. See "Terms of the Notes" below.

The Basket will be comprised of the common stocks of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co., and Wells Fargo & Company (the "Underlying Companies"). On the pricing date, the common stock of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. will be given an initial weight of 33.34%, and the common stock of each of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Wells Fargo & Company will be given an initial weight of 33.33%.

The economic terms of the notes (including the Call Premiums and the Call Amounts) are based on our internal funding rate, which is the rate we would pay to borrow funds through the issuance of market-linked notes, and the economic terms of certain related hedging arrangements. Our internal funding rate is typically lower than the rate we would pay when we issue conventional fixed rate debt securities. This difference in funding rate, as well as the underwriting discount and the hedging-related charge and certain service fee described below, will reduce the economic terms of the notes to you and the initial estimated value of the notes on the pricing date. Due to these factors, the public offering price you pay to purchase the notes will be greater than the initial estimated value of the notes.

On the cover page of this term sheet, we have provided the initial estimated value range for the notes. This initial estimated value range was determined based on our pricing models. The initial estimated value as of the pricing date will be based on our internal funding rate on the pricing date, market conditions and other relevant factors existing at that time, and our assumptions about market parameters. For more information about the initial estimated value and the structuring of the notes, see "Structuring the Notes" on page TS-14.

Investor Considerations

change in the value of the Basket is significantly greater than the applicable Call Premium.

▪ You are willing to risk a loss of principal if the notes are not automatically called.

▪ You are willing to forgo the interest payments that are paid on conventional interest bearing debt securities.

▪ You are willing to forgo dividends or other benefits of owning the Basket Stocks.

▪ You are willing to accept a limited or no market for sales prior to maturity, and understand that the market prices for the notes,
if any, will be affected by various factors, including our actual and perceived creditworthiness, our internal funding rate and fees and
charges on the notes.

▪ You are willing to assume our credit risk, as issuer of the notes,
for all payments under the notes, including the Call Amount or the Redemption Amount.

**The notes may not be an appropriate investment for you if:**

▪ You wish to make an investment that cannot be automatically called prior to maturity.

▪ You anticipate that the Observation Level will be less than the Call Level on each Observation Date.

▪ You seek an uncapped return on your investment.

▪ You seek principal repayment or preservation of capital.

▪ You seek interest payments or other current income on your investment.

▪ You want to receive dividends or other distributions paid on the Basket Stocks.

▪ You seek an investment for which there will be a liquid secondary market.

▪ You are unwilling or are unable to take market risk on the notes
or to take our credit risk as issuer of the notes.

We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting, and other advisors before you invest in the notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) a Call Premium of 12.00% of the principal amount if the notes are called on the first Observation Date; 24.00% if called on the second
Observation Date; and 36.00% if called on the final Observation Date (the midpoint of the applicable Call Premium ranges); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) Observation Dates occurring approximately one, two and three years after the pricing date.

For **hypothetical** historical values of the Basket, see "The Basket" section below. For recent actual prices of the Basket Stocks, see "The Basket Stocks" section below. The value of the Basket will not include any income generated by dividends paid on the Basket Stocks, which you would otherwise be entitled to receive if you invested in those stocks directly. In addition, all payments on the notes are subject to issuer credit risk.

 

*<u>Notes Are Called on an Observation Date</u>*

 

The notes will be called at $10.00 plus the applicable Call Premium if the Observation Level on one of the Observation Dates is equal to or greater than the Call Level. After the notes are called, they will no longer remain outstanding and there will not be any further payments on the notes.

**Example 1** - The Observation Level on the first Observation Date is 110.00. Therefore, the notes will be called at $10.00 plus the Call Premium of $1.20 = $11.20 per unit.

**Example 2** - The Observation Level on the first Observation Date is below the Call Level, but the Observation Level on the second Observation Date is 150.00. Therefore, the notes will be called at $10.00 plus the Call Premium of $2.40 = $12.40 per unit.

**Example 3** - The Observation Levels on the first two Observation Dates are below the Call Level, but the Observation Level on the third and final Observation Date is 105.00. Therefore, the notes will be called at $10.00 plus the Call Premium of $3.60 = $13.60 per unit.

*<u>Notes Are Not Called on Any Observation Date</u>*

 

**Example 4** - The notes are not called on any Observation Date and the Ending Value is less than the Threshold Value. The Redemption Amount will be less, and possibly significantly less, than the principal amount. For example, if the Ending Value is 50.00, the Redemption Amount per unit will be:

Risk Factors

*There are important differences between the notes and a conventional debt security. An investment in the notes involves significant risks, including those listed below. You should carefully review the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the notes in the "Risk Factors" sections beginning on page PS-7 of product supplement STOCK STR-1, page S-1 of the prospectus supplement, and page 1 of the prospectus identified above. We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting, and other advisors before you invest in the notes.*

 

**<u>Structure-related Risks</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ If the notes are not automatically called, you will lose up to 100% of the principal amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Your investment return is limited to the return represented by the applicable Call Premium and may be less than a comparable investment
directly in the Basket Stocks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Changes in the price of one or more of the Basket Stocks may be offset by changes in the price of one or more of the other Basket
Stocks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Your return on the notes may be less than the yield you could earn by owning a conventional fixed or floating rate debt security of
comparable maturity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Payments on the notes are subject to our credit risk, and actual or perceived changes in our creditworthiness are expected to affect
the value of the notes. If we become insolvent or are unable to pay our obligations, you may lose your entire investment.

**<u>Valuation- and Market-related Risks</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Our initial estimated value of the notes will be lower than the public offering price of the notes. The public offering price of the
notes will exceed our initial estimated value because costs associated with selling and structuring the notes, as well as hedging the
notes, all as further described in "Structuring the Notes" on page TS-14, are included in the public offering price of the
notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Our initial estimated value does not represent future values of the notes and may differ from others' estimates. Our initial
estimated value is only an estimate, which will be determined by reference to our internal pricing models when the terms of the notes
are set. This estimated value will be based on market conditions and other relevant factors existing at that time, our internal funding
rate on the pricing date and our assumptions about market parameters, which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and
other factors. Different pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations for the notes that are greater or less than our initial
estimated value. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to
be incorrect. On future dates, the market value of the notes could change significantly based on, among other things, changes in market
conditions, including the value of the Basket, our creditworthiness, interest rate movements and other relevant factors, which may impact
the price at which MLPF&S, BofAS or any other party would be willing to buy notes from you in any secondary market transactions. Our
estimated value does not represent a minimum price at which MLPF&S, BofAS or any other party would be willing to buy your notes in
any secondary market (if any exists) at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Our initial estimated value of the notes will not be determined by reference to credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt.
The internal funding rate to be used in the determination of our initial estimated value of the notes generally represents a discount
from the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. The discount is based on, among other things, our view of the funding value
of the notes as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the notes in comparison to those costs
for our conventional fixed-rate debt. If we were to use the interest rate implied by our conventional fixed-rate debt, we would expect
the economic terms of the notes to be more favorable to you. Consequently, our use of an internal funding rate for market-linked notes
would have an adverse effect on the economic terms of the notes, the initial estimated value of the notes on the pricing date, and any
secondary market prices of the notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ A trading market is not expected to develop for the notes. None of us, MLPF&S or BofAS is obligated to make a market for, or to
repurchase, the notes. There is no assurance that any party will be willing to purchase your notes at any price in any secondary market.

**<u>Conflict-related Risks</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Our business, hedging and trading activities, and those of MLPF&S, BofAS and our respective affiliates (including trading in shares
of the Basket Stocks), and any hedging and trading activities we, MLPF&S, BofAS or our respective affiliates engage in for our clients'
accounts, may affect the market value and return of the notes and may create conflicts of interest with you.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ There may be potential conflicts of interest involving the calculation agent, which is BofAS. We have the right to appoint and remove
the calculation agent.

**<u>Market Measure-related Risks</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ An Underlying Company will have no obligations relating to the notes, and none of us, MLPF&S, BofAS or our respective affiliates
will perform any due diligence procedures with respect to any Underlying Company in connection with this offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ As a noteholder, you will have no rights of a holder of any Basket Stock, and you will not be entitled to receive any shares of a
Basket Stock or dividends or other distributions by any Underlying Company.

Autocallable Strategic Accelerated Redemption Securities<sup>®</sup> TS-6

<u>Autocallable Strategic Accelerated Redemption Securities<sup>®</sup><br> Linked to a Basket of Three Financial Sector Stocks, due June , 2028</u>  

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ While we, MLPF&S, BofAS or our respective affiliates may from time to time own securities of the Underlying Companies, we, MLPF&S,
BofAS and our respective affiliates do not control any Underlying Company, and have not verified any disclosure made by any Underlying
Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ The payment on the notes will not be adjusted for all corporate events that could affect a Basket Stock. See "Description of
the Notes—Anti-Dilution Adjustments" beginning on page PS-21 of product supplement STOCK STR-1.

**<u>Tax-related Risks</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the notes are uncertain, and may be adverse to a holder of the notes. See "Summary
of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" below and "U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary" beginning on page PS-35 of product
supplement STOCK STR-1. For a discussion of the Canadian federal income tax consequences of investing in the notes, see "Material
Income Tax Consequences—Canadian Taxation" in the prospectus, as supplemented by the discussion under "Summary of Canadian
Federal Income Tax Considerations" herein.

Additional Risk Factors

**The Basket Stocks are concentrated in one sector.** All of the Basket Stocks are issued by companies in the financial sector. Although an investment in the notes will not give holders any ownership or other direct interests in the Basket Stocks, the return on an investment in the notes will be subject to certain risks associated with a direct equity investment in companies in the financial sector, including those discussed below. Accordingly, by investing in the notes, you will not benefit from the diversification which could result from an investment linked to companies that operate in multiple sectors. In addition, because the Basket Stocks are concentrated in one sector, they may be more susceptible to economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting their relevant industrial sector. As a result, their prices may increase or decrease at similar times and by similar magnitudes, and they may perform similarly over the term of the notes.

**Adverse conditions in the financial sector may reduce your return on the notes.** All of the Basket Stocks are issued by companies whose primary lines of business are directly associated with the financial sector. The profitability of these companies is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds, and can fluctuate significantly, particularly when market interest rates change. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of these companies' customers can negatively impact the sector. In addition, adverse international economic, business, or political developments, including with respect to the insurance sector, or to real estate and loans secured by real estate, could have a major effect on the value of the Basket. As a result of these factors, the value of the notes may be subject to greater volatility and be more adversely affected by economic, political, or regulatory events relating to the financial sector.

**Economic conditions have adversely impacted the stock prices of many companies in the financial sector, and may do so during the term of the notes.** In recent years, international economic conditions have resulted, and may continue to result, in significant losses among many companies that operate in the financial sector. These conditions have also resulted, and may continue to result, in a high degree of volatility in the stock prices of financial institutions, and substantial fluctuations in the profitability of these companies. Numerous financial services companies have experienced substantial decreases in the value of their assets, taken action to raise capital (including the issuance of debt or equity securities), or even ceased operations. Further, companies in the financial sector have been subject to unprecedented government actions and regulation, which may limit the scope of their operations and, in turn, result in a decrease in value of these companies. Any of these factors may have an adverse impact on the performance of the Basket. As a result, the value of the Basket may be adversely affected by economic, political, or regulatory events affecting the financial sector or one of the sub-sectors of the financial sector. This in turn could adversely impact the market value of the notes and decrease the payment on the notes.

The Basket

The Basket is designed to allow investors to receive payment on the notes based on the performance the Basket from the Starting Value to any Observation Level, including the Ending Value. The Basket Stocks are described in the section entitled "The Basket Stocks" below. Each Basket Stock will be assigned an initial weight on the pricing date, as set forth in the table below.

For more information on the calculation of the value of the Basket, please see the section entitled "Description of the Notes—Basket Market Measures" beginning on page PS-27 of product supplement STOCK STR-1.

If May 23, 2025 were the pricing date, for each Basket Stock, the Initial Component Weight, the Closing Market Price, the hypothetical Component Ratio and the initial contribution to the Basket value would be as follows:

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|

|  |  |  |  | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Starting Value** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**100.00** |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The actual Closing Market Price of each Basket Stock and the resulting actual Component Ratios will be
determined on the pricing date and will be set forth in the final term sheet that will be made available in connection with sales of the
notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) These were the Closing Market Prices of the Basket Stocks on May 23, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Each hypothetical Component Ratio equals the Initial Component Weight of the relevant Basket Stock (as
a percentage) multiplied by 100, and then divided by the Closing Market Price of that Basket Stock on May 23, 2025 and rounded to eight
decimal places.

The calculation agent will calculate the value of the Basket on each Observation Date by summing the products of the Closing Market Price for each Basket Stock (multiplied by its Price Multiplier) on that day and the Component Ratio applicable to that Basket Stock. The Price Multiplier for each Basket Stock will initially be 1, and is subject to adjustment as described in product supplement STOCK STR-1. If a scheduled Observation Date is determined by the calculation agent not to be a trading day or a Market Disruption Event occurs on that day as to any Basket Stock, the Closing Market Price of that Basket Stock will be determined as more fully described in the section entitled "Description of the Notes—Basket Market Measures—Observation Level and Ending Value of the Basket" beginning on page PS-28 of product supplement STOCK STR-1.

Supplement to the Plan of Distribution

Under our distribution agreement with BofAS, BofAS will purchase the notes from us as principal at the public offering price indicated on the cover of this term sheet, less the indicated underwriting discount. MLPF&S will in turn purchase the notes from BofAS for resale, and it will receive a selling concession in connection with the sale of the notes in an amount up to the full amount of the underwriting discount set forth on the cover of this term sheet.

We will pay a fee to a broker dealer in which an affiliate of BofAS has an ownership interest for providing certain services with respect to this offering, which will reduce the economic terms of the notes to you.

We may deliver the notes against payment therefor in New York, New York on a date that is greater than one business day following the pricing date. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, if the initial settlement of the notes occurs more than one business day from the pricing date, purchasers who wish to trade the notes more than one business day prior to the original issue date will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. In the original offering of the notes, the notes will be sold in minimum investment amounts of 100 units. If you place an order to purchase the notes, you are consenting to MLPF&S and/or one of its affiliates acting as a principal in effecting the transaction for your account.

MLPF&S and BofAS may repurchase and resell the notes, with repurchases and resales being made at prices related to then-prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, and these prices will include MLPF&S's and BofAS's trading commissions and mark-ups or mark-downs. MLPF&S and BofAS may act as principal or agent in these market-making transactions; however, neither is obligated to engage in any such transactions. At their discretion, for a short, undetermined initial period after the issuance of the notes, MLPF&S and BofAS may offer to buy the notes in the secondary market at a price that may exceed the initial estimated value of the notes. Any price offered by MLPF&S or BofAS for the notes will be based on then-prevailing market conditions and other considerations, including the performance of the Basket and the remaining term of the notes. However, none of us, MLPF&S, BofAS or any of our respective affiliates is obligated to purchase your notes at any price or at any time, and we cannot assure you that we, MLPF&S, BofAS or any of our respective affiliates will purchase your notes at a price that equals or exceeds the initial estimated value of the notes.

The value of the notes shown on your account statement will be based on BofAS's estimate of the value of the notes if BofAS or another of its affiliates were to make a market in the notes, which it is not obligated to do. That estimate will be based upon the price that BofAS may pay for the notes in light of then-prevailing market conditions, and other considerations, as mentioned above, and will include transaction costs. At certain times, this price may be higher than or lower than the initial estimated value of the notes.

The distribution of the Note Prospectus in connection with these offers or sales will be solely for the purpose of providing investors with the description of the terms of the notes that was made available to investors in connection with their initial offering. Secondary market investors should not, and will not be authorized to, rely on the Note Prospectus for information regarding CIBC or for any purpose other than that described in the immediately preceding sentence.

An investor's household, as referenced on the cover of this term sheet, will generally include accounts held by any of the following, as determined by MLPF&S in its discretion and acting in good faith based upon information then available to MLPF&S:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ the investor's spouse (including a domestic partner),
siblings, parents, grandparents, spouse's parents, children and grandchildren, but excluding accounts held by aunts, uncles, cousins,
nieces, nephews or any other family relationship not directly above or below the individual investor;

▪ a family investment vehicle, including foundations, limited
partnerships and personal holding companies, but only if the beneficial owners of the vehicle consist solely of the investor or members
of the investor's household as described above; and

▪ a trust where the grantors and/or beneficiaries of the trust
consist solely of the investor or members of the investor's household as described above; provided that, purchases of the notes
by a trust generally cannot be aggregated together with any purchases made by a trustee's personal account.

Purchases in retirement accounts will not be considered part of the same household as an individual investor's personal or other non-retirement account, except for individual retirement accounts ("IRAs"), simplified employee pension plans ("SEPs"), savings incentive match plan for employees ("SIMPLEs"), and single-participant or owners only accounts (i.e., retirement accounts held by self-employed individuals, business owners or partners with no employees other than their spouses).

Please contact your Merrill financial advisor if you have any questions about the application of these provisions to your specific circumstances or think you are eligible.

Structuring the Notes

The notes are our debt securities, the return on which is linked to the performance of the Basket. As is the case for all of our debt securities, including our market-linked notes, the economic terms of the notes reflect our actual or perceived creditworthiness at the time of pricing. The internal funding rate we use in pricing the market-linked notes is typically lower than the rate we would pay when we issue conventional fixed-rate debt securities of comparable maturity. This difference is based on, among other things, our view of the funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the notes in comparison to those costs for our conventional fixed-rate debt. This generally relatively lower internal funding rate, which is reflected in the economic terms of the notes, along with the fees and charges associated with market-linked notes, typically results in the initial estimated value of the notes on the pricing date being less than their public offering price.

Payments on the notes, including the amount you receive at maturity or upon an automatic call, will be calculated based on the performance of the Basket and the $10 per unit principal amount. In order to meet these payment obligations, at the time we issue the notes, we may choose to enter into certain hedging arrangements (which may include call options, put options or other derivatives) with BofAS or one of its affiliates. The terms of these hedging arrangements are determined by seeking bids from market participants, including BofAS and its affiliates, and take into account a number of factors, including our creditworthiness, interest rate movements, the volatility of the Basket Stocks, the tenor of the notes and the tenor of the hedging arrangements. The economic terms of the notes and their initial estimated value depend in part on the terms of these hedging arrangements.

BofAS has advised us that the hedging arrangements will include a hedging-related charge of approximately $0.05 per unit, reflecting an estimated profit to be credited to BofAS from these transactions. Since hedging entails risk and may be influenced by unpredictable market forces, additional profits and losses from these hedging arrangements may be realized by BofAS or any third party hedge providers.

Summary of Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

In the opinion of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, our Canadian tax counsel, the following summary describes the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations thereto (the "Canadian Tax Act") generally applicable at the date hereof to a purchaser who acquires beneficial ownership of a note pursuant to this term sheet and who for the purposes of the Canadian Tax Act and at all relevant times: (a) is neither resident nor deemed to be resident in Canada; (b) deals at arm's length with CIBC and any transferee resident (or deemed to be resident) in Canada to whom the purchaser disposes of the note; (c) does not use or hold and is not deemed to use or hold the note in, or in the course of, carrying on a business in Canada; (d) is entitled to receive all payments (including any interest and principal) made on the note; (e) is not a, and deals at arm's length with any, "specified shareholder" of CIBC for purposes of the thin capitalization rules in the Canadian Tax Act; and (f) is not an entity in respect of which CIBC or any transferee resident (or deemed to be resident) in Canada to whom the purchaser disposes of, loans or otherwise transfers the note is a "specified entity", and is not a "specified entity" in respect of such a transferee, in each case, for purposes of the Hybrid Mismatch Rules, as defined below (a "Non-Resident Holder"). Special rules which apply to non-resident insurers carrying on business in Canada and elsewhere are not discussed in this summary.

This summary assumes that no amount paid or payable to a holder described herein will be the deduction component of a "hybrid mismatch arrangement" under which the payment arises within the meaning of the rules in the Canadian Tax Act with respect to "hybrid mismatch arrangements" (the "Hybrid Mismatch Rules"). Investors should note that the Hybrid Mismatch Rules are highly complex and there remains significant uncertainty as to their interpretation and application.

This summary is supplemental to and should be read together with the description of material Canadian federal income tax considerations relevant to a Non-Resident Holder owning notes under "Material Income Tax Consequences—Canadian Taxation" in the accompanying prospectus and a Non-Resident Holder should carefully read that description as well.

**This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Non-Resident Holder. Non-Resident Holders are advised to consult with their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.**

Based on Canadian tax counsel's understanding of the Canada Revenue Agency's administrative policies, and having regard to the terms of the notes, interest payable on the notes should not be considered to be "participating debt interest" as defined in the Canadian Tax Act and accordingly, a Non-Resident Holder should not be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding tax in respect of amounts paid or credited or deemed to have been paid or credited by CIBC on a note as, on account of or in lieu of payment of, or in satisfaction of, interest.

Non-Resident Holders should consult their own advisors regarding the consequences to them of a disposition of the notes to a person with whom they are not dealing at arm's length for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act.

Summary of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following discussion is a brief summary of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to an investment in the notes. The following summary is not complete and is both qualified and supplemented by, or in some cases supplements, the discussion entitled "U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary" in product supplement STOCK STR-1, which you should carefully review prior to investing in the notes.

The U.S. federal income tax considerations of your investment in the notes are uncertain. No statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly discusses how the notes should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In the opinion of our tax counsel, Mayer Brown LLP, it would generally be reasonable to treat the notes as prepaid cash-settled derivative contracts. Pursuant to the terms of the notes, you agree to treat the notes in this manner for all U.S. federal income tax purposes. If this treatment is respected, you should generally recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale, exchange, redemption or payment on maturity in an amount equal to the difference between the amount you receive at such time and the amount that you paid for your notes. Such gain or loss should generally be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held your notes for more than one year. Non-U.S. holders should consult the section entitled "U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary – Non-U.S. Holders" in product supplement STOCK STR-1.

The expected characterization of the notes is not binding on the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") or the courts. Thus, it is possible that the IRS would seek to characterize your notes in a manner that results in tax consequences to you that are different from those described above or in the accompanying product supplement. Such alternate treatments could include a requirement that a holder accrue ordinary income over the life of the notes or treat all gain or loss at maturity as ordinary gain or loss. For a more detailed discussion of certain alternative characterizations with respect to your notes and certain other considerations with respect to your investment in the notes, you should consider the discussion set forth in "U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary" of the product supplement. We are not responsible for any adverse consequences that you may experience as a result of any alternative characterization of the notes for U.S. federal income tax or other tax purposes.

With respect to the discussion in the product supplement regarding "dividend equivalent" payments, the IRS has issued a notice that provides that withholding on dividend equivalent payments will not apply to specified ELIs that are not delta-one instruments and that are issued before January 1, 2027.

**You should consult your tax advisor as to the tax consequences of such characterization and any possible alternative characterizations of the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. You should also consult your tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax and other tax consequences of your investment in the notes in your particular circumstances, including the application of state, local or other tax laws and the possible effects of changes in federal or other tax laws.**
