LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
(a limited partnership formed under the laws of Ontario)
The Australian Covered Bonds are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or
otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (the "EEA"). For these purposes, a retail investor means
a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID
II"); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended), where that customer would not qualify as a professional
client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as
amended, the "Prospectus Regulation"). Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as
amended (the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Australian Covered Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail
investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Australian Covered Bonds or otherwise making them available
to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
The Australian Covered Bonds are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or
otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom (the "UK"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person
who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic
law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended, the "EUWA"); (ii) a customer within the meaning Financial
Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended) (the "FSMA") and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive
(EU) 2016/97 (as amended), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of
Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of EUWA; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation
(EU) 2017/1129 (as amended) as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK Prospectus Regulation"). Consequently
no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended) as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the
EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Australian Covered Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail
investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Australian Covered Bonds or otherwise making them available
to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
THE COVERED BONDS HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY CANADA MORTGAGE AND HOUSING
CORPORATION ("CMHC") NOR HAS CMHC PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THESE FINAL TERMS.
THE COVERED BONDS ARE NOT INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY CMHC OR THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA OR ANY

PART ACONTRACTUAL TERMS
The Covered Bonds to which these Final Terms relate comprise Australian Covered Bonds constituted by, and on the
terms specified in the deed poll executed by the Issuer and dated January 15, 2015, as amended on August 31, 2017,
as further amended on July 26, 2019 and as further amended September 14, 2021 (collectively, "Australian Deed
Poll"). The conditions set out in Attachment 1 to the Australian Deed Poll (as supplemented or modified by these
MTDOCS 45121001

Final Terms) (the "Conditions") and the programme terms set out in the Information Memorandum (as defined below)
("Programme Terms") apply to the Australian Covered Bonds.
Terms used herein shall be deemed to be defined as such for the purposes of the Conditions. This document constitutes
the Final Terms of the Australian Covered Bonds described herein and must be read in conjunction with the
information memorandum issued in relation to the Australian Covered Bonds dated July 13, 2022 (the "Information
Memorandum"). Full information on the Issuer and the offer of the Australian Covered Bonds is only available on
the basis of the combination of these Final Terms and the Information Memorandum. The Information Memorandum,
together with all documents incorporated by reference therein, is available for viewing at the office of the Australian
Agent.
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce is registered as a foreign company in Australia and is a foreign authorised
deposit-taking institution under the Banking Act 1959 of the Commonwealth of Australia (the "Australian Banking
Act"). The Australian Covered Bonds are not the obligation of any government and, in particular, are not guaranteed
by the Commonwealth of Australia or the government of Canada nor do they benefit from the depositor protection
provisions of Division 2 of Part II of the Australian Banking Act. However, under section 11F of the Australian
Banking Act, if the Issuer (whether in or outside Australia) suspends payment or becomes unable to meet its
obligations, the assets of the Issuer in Australia are to be available to meet its liabilities in Australia (including if those
liabilities are in respect of the Australian Covered Bonds) in priority to all other liabilities of the Issuer. Further, under
section 86 of the Reserve Bank Act 1959 of Australia (the "Reserve Bank Act"), debts due by the Issuer to the Reserve
Bank of Australia ("RBA") shall in a winding-up of the Issuer have priority over all other debts of the Issuer.
The Guarantor is not a bank nor an authorised deposit taking institution authorised to carry on banking business under
the Australian Banking Act and it is not supervised by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority. The Guarantor
is not registered as a foreign company or otherwise registered, authorised or qualified to carry on financial services or
other business in Australia. The Covered Bond Guarantee is not the obligation of any government and, in particular,
is not guaranteed by the Commonwealth of Australia or the government of Canada.
None of the Information Memorandum, the Programme Prospectus or any other disclosure document in relation to the
Australian Covered Bonds has been, and nor will any such document be, lodged with the Australian Securities and
Investments Commission and no such document is, and nor does it purport to be, a document containing disclosure to
investors for the purposes of Part 6D.2 or Part 7.9 of the Corporations Act 2001 of the Commonwealth of Australia
(the "Corporations Act"). Neither the Information Memorandum nor the Programme Prospectus is intended to be
used in connection with any offer for which such disclosure is required and neither such document contains all the
information that would be required by those provisions if they applied. Neither the Information Memorandum nor the
Programme Prospectus is to be provided to any 'retail client' as defined in section 761G of the Corporations Act and
neither such document takes into account the individual objectives, financial situation or needs of any prospective
investor. In addition, neither the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the "CSSF") nor any other
securities regulatory authority has reviewed information contained in the Information Memorandum or the Programme
Prospectus in connection with the Australian Covered Bonds.
THE INFORMATION MEMORANDUM DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A PROSPECTUS FOR THE
PURPOSES OF THE PROSPECTUS REGULATION. NO PROSPECTUS IS REQUIRED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROSPECTUS REGULATION FOR THIS ISSUE OF AUSTRALIAN
COVERED BONDS. THE FINAL TERMS IN RELATION TO THE AUSTRALIAN COVERED BONDS
ARE EXEMPT FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PROSPECTUS REGULATION. THE
AUSTRALIAN COVERED BONDS WHICH ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE INFORMATION
MEMORANDUM ARE NOT COMPLIANT WITH THE PROSPECTUS REGULATION AND DO NOT
FORM PART OF THE PROGRAMME PROSPECTUS AND THE CSSF HAS NEITHER APPROVED NOR
REVIEWED THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE INFORMATION MEMORANDUM OR THE
RELATED FINAL TERMS IN RELATION TO THE AUSTRALIAN COVERED BONDS. THE
AUSTRALIAN COVERED BONDS ARE NOT BEING OFFERED TO THE PUBLIC IN ANY EEA
MEMBER STATE OR THE UNITED KINGDOM AND ARE NOT LISTED OR ADMITTED TO TRADING
ON ANY REGULATED MARKET IN THE EEA OR THE UNITED KINGDOM.

Other Terms and Conditions:
If the Extended Due for Payment Date applies in respect of
any Australian Covered Bonds that are held in the Austraclear
System, the Austraclear System will require that each person
in whose Security Record (as defined in the Austraclear
Regulations) such an Australian Covered Bond is recorded
(each an "Austraclear Participant") to enter such dealings in
the Austraclear System as are then required by the Austraclear
System to give effect to the Extended Due for Payment Date.
The Issuer and the Australian Agent have agreed that the
Issuer will notify the Australian Agent if the Extended Due for
Payment Date will apply and, if so notified, the Australian
Agent will apply to Austraclear to modify the Final Maturity
Date to the Extended Due for Payment Date. Failure of the
Austraclear Participant to enter any such dealings will prevent
subsequent payments in respect of the Australian Covered
Bonds from being effected through the Austraclear System.
However, if any dealings are so required and there is a failure
to enter any such dealings in a timely manner, the Australian
Agent may take such action (including entering into such
dealings) on behalf of an Austraclear Participant as may be
required at the applicable time including the removal of the
relevant Australian Covered Bonds from the Austraclear
System in accordance with the Conditions. None of the Issuer,
the Guarantor or the Australian Agent is responsible for
anything Austraclear or the Austraclear System or any other
clearing system does or omits to do with respect to the above,
which is a matter for Austraclear, its nominees (if any), the
Austraclear Participants and the investors.
