This particular bond, denominated in USD, had a total issuance size of USD 218,000 with a minimum purchase increment of USD 1,000, and despite the indication of a 0% interest rate, it was designed to deliver its return at maturity on October 21, 2021, at which point it was successfully redeemed at 100% of its face value.

events that may affect the Reference Stocks, as described in "Certain Terms of the Notes--Anti-
Dilution Adjustments" in the underlying supplement, provided that shares of a corporation resident
in Canada for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) shall not be eligible for substitution as
described therein. There is no assurance that any Reference Stock Issuer will be successful or that
the price of any Reference Stock will increase. See "Information Regarding the Reference Stocks
--Selection of the Composition of the Basket" in this pricing supplement.


Redemption Amount:
The amount that you will receive at maturity for each $1,000 in principal amount of the notes will
depend upon the performance of the Basket. The Redemption Amount will equal:

$1,000 x the Basket Level Percentage x the Participation Rate.

As discussed in more detail below, the Basket Level Percentage must exceed approximately
103.52% in order for you to receive a Redemption Amount that exceeds the principal amount of
the notes. In addition, the Redemption Amount could be substantially less than the principal
amount of the notes.


Participation Rate:
96.60%. Because the Participation Rate is less than 100%, the Basket Level Percentage must
exceed approximately 103.52% in order for you to receive a Redemption Amount that exceeds the
principal amount of the notes. In addition, because the Participation Rate is less than 100%, the
coupon payments you may receive on the notes will be less than the applicable Dividend Amounts.


Basket Level Percentage:
The sum of the Weighted Reference Stock Performances.


Weighted Reference Stock
For each Reference Stock, the product of (a) its Reference Stock Performance and (b) its Reference
Performance:
Stock Weighting.


Reference Stock Weighting:
For each Reference Stock, 1/26 (approximately 3.8461%)


Reference Stock Performance:
For each Reference Stock, its Reference Stock Performance will equal (a) its Final Price divided
by (b) its Initial Price, expressed as a percentage.


Initial Price:
For each Reference Stock, its Closing Price on the Pricing Date, as set forth in the table above. The
Initial Price of each Reference Stock is subject to adjustment as described under "Certain Terms of
the Notes--Anti-Dilution Adjustments" in the underlying supplement, provided that "--
Extraordinary Dividends" does not apply to the notes.


Final Price:
For each Reference Stock, its Closing Price on the Final Valuation Date.


Coupon Payment Dates:
The third Business Day following the related Coupon Calculation Date, with the final coupon paid
on the Maturity Date.


Coupon Calculation Dates:
Quarterly, on the 18th day of each January, April, July and October, commencing on January 18,
2020 and ending on October 18, 2021, subject to postponement as described under "Certain Terms
of the Notes--Valuation Dates--For Notes Where the Reference Asset Consists of Multiple
Reference Stocks" in the underlying supplement.


Coupon Payments:
For each $1,000 in principal amount, the amount of coupon payments, if any, will depend upon the
amount of dividends paid on each Reference Stock during the Coupon Calculation Period
preceding each Coupon Payment Date, and will equal (a) the sum of the Dividend Amounts for
each of the Reference Stocks multiplied by (b) the Participation Rate.


Coupon Calculation Period:
The first Coupon Calculation Period will commence on the Pricing Date and end on the first
Coupon Calculation Date. Each subsequent Coupon Calculation

Period will begin on the Trading Day following an Coupon Calculation Date and end on the next
Coupon Calculation Date.


Dividend Amount:
For each Reference Stock, an amount in U.S. dollars equal to (a) $1,000 divided by the applicable
Initial Price multiplied by (b) the applicable Reference Stock Weighting multiplied by (c) 100% of
the gross cash distributions (including ordinary and extraordinary dividends), after withholding tax
that would be imposed on CIBC with respect to such dividends, if any, per share or unit of the
Reference Stock declared by the Reference Stock Issuer where the date that the applicable
Reference Stock has commenced trading ex-dividend on its primary U.S. securities exchange as to
each relevant distribution occurs during the relevant Coupon Calculation Period. If any Dividend
Amount announced and/or declared by the relevant Reference Stock Issuer is not paid as so
announced or declared, or is paid in a smaller amount, the calculation agent shall make such
adjustments to the Basket as shall be necessary to reflect the actual amount received by holders of
the Reference Stocks. The positive effect of any Dividend Amounts on any coupon payments will
be reduced as a result of the Participation Rate set forth above.


Record Date:
The third Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Coupon Payment Date, provided the
final Coupon Payment will be paid to the holders entitled to the payment at maturity.


Calculation Agent:
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce


CUSIP / ISIN:
CUSIP: 136071BC0 / ISIN: US136071BC01


Fees and Expenses:
The price at which you purchase the notes includes costs that the Bank or its affiliates expect to
incur and profits that the Bank or its affiliates expect to realize in connection with hedging
activities related to the notes.


Distribution:
The notes are not intended for purchase by any investor that is not a United States person, as that
term is defined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and no dealer or agent may make offers of
the notes to any such investor.

HYPOTHETICAL PAYMENT AT MATURITY

The following hypothetical examples are provided for illustrative purposes only. They do not purport to be representative of every
possible scenario concerning increases or decreases in the value of the Basket and the related effect on the Redemption Amount. The
following hypothetical examples illustrate the payment you would receive on the Maturity Date if you purchased $1,000 in principal
amount of the notes. Numbers appearing in the examples below have been rounded for ease of analysis. The examples below are based
on the Participation Rate of 96.60%. This table does not reflect any coupons that may be paid on the notes.

for you will depend on your individual circumstances and you should reach an investment decision only after you and your

light of your particular circumstances. You should also review ``Additional Risk Factors'' below for risks related to the notes.

ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS

An investment in the notes involves significant risks. In addition to the following risks included in this pricing supplement, we urge
you to read "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-1 of the accompanying underlying supplement, page S-1 of the accompanying
prospectus supplement and page 1 of the accompanying prospectus.

You should understand the risks of investing in the notes and should reach an investment decision only after careful consideration, with
your advisers, of the suitability of the notes in light of your particular financial circumstances and the information set forth in this
pricing supplement and the accompanying underlying supplement, the prospectus supplement and the prospectus.

Your Investment in the Notes May Result in a Loss.

The notes do not guarantee any return of principal. The amount payable on the notes at maturity will depend on the performance of the
Reference Stocks and the dividends declared on the Reference Stocks, and may be less, and possibly significantly less, than the
principal amount. If the prices of the Reference Stocks decrease and the final coupon payment, if any, is not sufficient to offset that
decrease, the payment at maturity will be less than the principal amount.

In addition, because the Participation Rate is only 96.60%, the Basket Level Percentage must exceed approximately 103.52% in order
for you to receive a Redemption Amount that exceeds the principal amount. You may lose all or a substantial portion of the amount
that you invested to purchase the notes. You may incur a loss, even if the Basket Level Percentage is positive (but less than
approximately 103.52%). Please also see "The Notes Will Not Reflect the Full Performance of the Reference Stocks, Which May
Negatively Impact Your Return."

The Notes May Not Pay Coupon.

There may be no periodic coupon payments on the notes, and any such payments may be less than there would be on a conventional
fixed-rate or floating-rate debt security having the same maturity. The amount of each coupon payment, if any, will depend upon the
amount of dividends paid on each Reference Stock during the Coupon Calculation Period preceding each Coupon Payment Date, as
adjusted by the Participation Rate.

The Notes Will Not Reflect the Full Performance of the Reference Stocks, Which May Negatively Impact Your Return.

Because the calculation of the Redemption Amount includes a Participation Rate of less than 100%, the return, if any, on the notes will
not reflect the full performance of the Reference Stocks. Therefore, the yield to maturity based on the methodology for calculating the
Redemption Amount will be less than the yield that would be produced if the Reference Stocks were purchased and held for a similar
period. In addition, because the Participation Rate is less than 100%, any coupon payments you receive on the notes will be less than
the applicable Dividend Amounts.

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.

The notes are our senior unsecured debt obligations and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. As further
described in the accompanying prospectus and prospectus supplement, the notes will rank on par with all of our other unsecured and
unsubordinated debt obligations, except such obligations as may be preferred by operation of law. Any payment to be made on the
notes depends on our ability to satisfy our obligations as they come due. As a result, the actual and perceived creditworthiness of us
may affect the market value of the notes and, in the event we were to default on our obligations, you may not receive the amounts owed
to you under the terms of the notes. If we default on our obligations under the notes, your investment would be at risk and you could
lose some or all of your investment. See "Description of the Notes We May Offer--Events of Default" in the accompanying prospectus
supplement.

The Bank's Initial Estimated Value of the Notes Is Lower than the Initial Issue Price (Price to Public) of the Notes.

The initial issue price of the notes exceeds the Bank's initial estimated value because costs associated with selling and structuring the
notes, as well as hedging the notes, are included in the initial issue price of the notes. See "The Bank's Estimated Value of the Notes"
in this pricing supplement.

The Bank's Initial Estimated Value of the Notes Does Not Represent Future Values of the Notes and May Differ from Others'
Estimates.
The Bank's initial estimated value of the notes is only an estimate, which was determined by reference to the Bank's internal pricing
models when the terms of the notes were set. This estimated value was based on market conditions and other relevant factors existing
at that time, the Bank's internal funding rate on the Trade Date and the Bank's 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 the Bank's 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 prices of the Reference Stocks, the Bank's
creditworthiness, interest rate movements and other relevant factors, which may impact the price at which the agent or any other party
would be willing to buy the notes from you in any secondary market transactions. The Bank's initial estimated value does not represent
a minimum price at which the agent or any other party would be willing to buy the notes in any secondary market (if any exists) at any
time. See "The Bank's Estimated Value of the Notes" in this pricing supplement.
The Bank's Initial Estimated Value of the Notes Was Not Determined by Reference to Credit Spreads for Our Conventional
Fixed-Rate Debt.
The internal funding rate used in the determination of the Bank's 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 the Bank were to have used 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 had an adverse effect on the economic terms of the notes and the initial estimated value of the notes on the
Trade Date, and could have an adverse effect on any secondary market prices of the notes. See "The Bank's Estimated Value of the
Notes" in this pricing supplement.
Any Increase in the Price of One or More Reference Stocks May Be Offset by Decreases in the Price of One or More Other
Reference Stocks.
The price of one or more of the Reference Stocks may increase while the price of one or more of the other Reference Stocks decreases.
Therefore, in determining the value of the Basket at any time, increases in the price of one Reference Stock may be moderated, or
wholly offset, by decreases in the price of one or more other Reference Stocks.
The Redemption Amount Will Not Reflect Changes in the Price of Each Reference Stock Other than on the Final Valuation
Date.
Changes in the price of each Reference Stock during the term of the notes other than on the Final Valuation Date will not be reflected
in the calculation of the Redemption Amount. To calculate the Redemption Amount, the calculation agent will compare only the Final
Price of each Reference Stock to its Initial Price. No other prices of the Reference Stocks will be taken into account. As a result, even if
the price of each Reference Stock has increased at certain times during the term of the notes, you will receive a Redemption Amount
that is less than the principal amount if the Final Price of each Reference Stock is less than its Initial Price.
Correlation Among the Reference Stocks May Affect the Value of Your Notes.
The Reference Stocks may not represent a diversified portfolio of securities. To the extent that the Reference Stocks move in the same
direction (i.e., are highly correlated), you will lose some or all of the benefits that would ordinarily apply to a diversified portfolio of
securities.
Certain Business, Trading and Hedging Activities of Us, CIBCWM, Raymond James or Our Respective Affiliates May Create
Conflicts with Your Interests and Could Potentially Adversely Affect the Value of the Notes.

We, CIBCWM, Raymond James, and our respective affiliates may engage in trading and other business activities related to a Reference
Stock that are not for your account or on your behalf. We, CIBCWM, Raymond James, and our respective affiliates also may issue or
underwrite other financial instruments with returns based upon a Reference Stock. These activities may present a conflict of interest
between your interest in the notes and the
