The Notes will rank equally with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations. If the Underlying closes at or above the InitialLevel on any of the quarterly Call Observation Dates beginning on July 13, 2026 and ending on the Final Valuation Date, CIBC will automatically call the Notes and pay you aCall Amount equal to the principal amount per Note plus a Call Return. The Call Return, and therefore the Call Amount, increases the longer the Notes are outstanding. If theNotes are not called but the Final Level is at or above the Downside Threshold (80.00% of the Initial Level), at maturity, CIBC will repay the principal amount. If the Notes arenot called and the Final Level is below the Downside Threshold, at maturity, CIBC will repay less than the principal amount, if anything, resulting in a loss on your initialinvestment that is proportionate to the decline in the Closing Level of the Underlying from the Trade Date to the Final Valuation Date, and you will lose up to 100% of yourprincipal amount. Investing in the Notes involves significant risks. The Notes do not pay any interest. You may lose some or all of your principal amount. You will be exposed to themarket risk of the Underlying on each Call Observation Date. Generally, the higher the Call Return on a Note, the greater the risk of loss on that Note. The contingentrepayment of principal only applies if you hold the Notes to automatic call or maturity. Any payments on the Notes, including any repayment of principal, are subjectto the creditworthiness of CIBC. If CIBC were to default on its payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the Notes and you could loseyour entire investment.
