T he not e s do not be a r int e re st . The amount that you will be paid on your notes on the stated maturity date (August 4, 2021,
subject to adjustment) is based on the performance of the S&P 500® Index (the "underlier") as measured from the trade date to and
including the determination date (August 2, 2021, subject to adjustment). If the final underlier level on the determination date is
greater than the initial underlier level (3,066.91, which was the closing level of the underlier on the trade date), the return on your
notes will be positive, subject to the maximum settlement amount ($1,199.50 for each $1,000 face amount of your notes). I f t he

To determine your payment at maturity, we will calculate the underlier return, which is the percentage increase or decrease in the
final underlier level from the initial underlier level. On the stated maturity date, for each $1,000 face amount of your notes, you will
receive an amount in cash equal to:

· if the underlier return is positive (i.e. the final underlier level is greater than the initial underlier level), the sum of (i) $1,000
plus (ii) the product of (a) $1,000 times (b) 3.0 times (c) the underlier return, subject to the maximum settlement amount; or

· if the underlier return is zero or negative (i.e. the final underlier level is equal to the initial underlier level or is less than the
initial underlier level), the sum of (i) $1,000 plus (ii) the product of (a) the underlier return times (b) $1,000.

as a summary and should be read in conjunction with the section entitled "General Terms of the Underlier-Linked Notes" in the
accompanying Product Supplement No. 6 and "Supplemental Terms of the Notes" in the accompanying General Terms
Supplement. Please note that certain features, as noted below, described in the accompanying Product Supplement No. 6 and

The following table and chart are provided for purposes of illustration only. They should not be taken as an indication or prediction
of future investment results and merely are intended to illustrate the impact that the various hypothetical underlier levels on the
determination date could have on the cash settlement amount at maturity assuming all other variables remain constant.

The examples below are based on a range of final underlier levels that are entirely hypothetical; the underlier level on any day
throughout the life of the notes, including the final underlier level on the determination date, cannot be predicted. The underlier has
been highly volatile in the past -- meaning that the underlier level has changed considerably in relatively short periods -- and its

performance cannot be predicted for any future period.

The information in the following examples reflects hypothetical rates of return on the offered notes assuming that they are
purchased on the original issue date at the face amount and held to the stated maturity date. If you sell your notes in a secondary
market prior to the stated maturity date, your return will depend upon the market value of your notes at the time of sale, which
may be affected by a number of factors that are not reflected in the table below, such as interest rates, the volatility of the
underlier and the creditworthiness of CIBC. In addition, the estimated value of your notes at the time the terms of your notes were
set on the trade date (as determined by reference to pricing models used by CIBC) is less than the original issue price of your
notes. For more information on the estimated value of your notes, see "Additional Risk Factors Specific to Your Notes -- The
Bank's Estimated Value of the Notes Is Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to Public) of the Notes" in this Pricing
Supplement and "The Bank's Estimated Value of the Notes" in this Pricing Supplement. The information in the following

· Notes purchased on original issue date at the face amount and held to the stated maturity date



The actual performance of the underlier over the life of your notes, as well as the cash settlement amount payable at maturity, if
any, may bear little relation to the hypothetical examples shown below or to the historical underlier levels shown elsewhere in this
Pricing Supplement. For information about the historical levels of the underlier during recent periods, see "The Underlier --
Historical Closing Levels of the Underlier" below. Before investing in the offered notes, you should consult publicly available
information to determine the levels of the underlier between the date of this Pricing Supplement and the date of your purchase of
the offered notes.

Also, the hypothetical examples shown below do not take into account the effects of applicable taxes. Because of the U.S. tax
treatment applicable to your notes, tax liabilities could affect the after-tax rate of return on your notes to a comparatively greater
extent than the after-tax return on the underlier stocks.

The levels in the left column of the table below represent hypothetical final underlier levels and are expressed as percentages of
the initial underlier level. The amounts in the right column represent the hypothetical cash settlement amounts, based on the
corresponding hypothetical final underlier level, and are expressed as percentages of the face amount of a note (rounded to the
nearest one-thousandth of a percent). Thus, a hypothetical cash settlement amount of 100.000% means that the value of the cash
payment that we would deliver for each $1,000 of the outstanding face amount of the offered notes on the stated maturity date
would equal 100.000% of the face amount of a note, based on the corresponding hypothetical final underlier level and the
assumptions noted above.

If, for example, the final underlier level were determined to be 25.000% of the initial underlier level, the cash settlement amount
that we would deliver on your notes at maturity would be 25.000% of the face amount of your notes, as shown in the table above.
As a result, if you purchased your notes on the original issue date at the face amount and held them to the stated maturity date,
you would lose 75.000% of your investment (if you purchased your notes at a premium to face amount you would lose a
correspondingly higher percentage of your investment). If the final underlier level were determined to be 0.000% of the initial
underlier level, you would lose your entire investment in the notes. In addition, if the final underlier level were determined to be
150.000% of the initial underlier level, the cash settlement amount that we would deliver on your notes at maturity would be
capped at the maximum settlement amount, or 119.950% of each $1,000 face amount of your notes, as shown in the table above.
As a result, if you held your notes to the stated maturity date, you would not benefit from any increase in the final underlier level
over 106.650% of the initial underlier level.

The following chart shows a graphical illustration of the hypothetical cash settlement amounts that we would pay on your notes on
the stated maturity date, if the final underlier level were any of the hypothetical levels shown on the horizontal axis. The
hypothetical cash settlement amounts in the chart are expressed as percentages of the face amount of your notes and the
hypothetical final underlier levels are expressed as percentages of the initial underlier level. The chart shows that any hypothetical
final underlier level of less than 100.000% (the section left of the 100.000% marker on the horizontal axis) would result in a
hypothetical cash settlement amount of less than 100.000% of the face amount of your notes (the section below the 100.000%
marker on the vertical axis) and, accordingly, in a loss of principal to the holder of the notes. The chart also shows that any
hypothetical final underlier level of greater than or equal to 106.650% (the section right of the 106.650% marker on the horizontal
axis) would result in a capped return on your investment.

your notes on the stated maturity date or at any other time, including any time you may wish to sell your notes, may bear little
relation to the hypothetical cash settlement amounts shown above, and these amounts should not be viewed as an indication of
the financial return on an investment in the offered notes. The hypothetical cash settlement amounts on notes held to the stated
maturity date in the examples above assume you purchased your notes at their face amount and have not been adjusted to reflect
the actual issue price you pay for your notes. The return on your investment (whether positive or negative) in your notes will be
affected by the amount you pay for your notes. If you purchase your notes for a price other than the face amount, the return on
your investment will differ from, and may be significantly lower than, the hypothetical returns suggested by the above examples.
Please read "Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Underlier-Linked Notes -- The Market Value of Your Notes May Be Influenced
by Many Unpredictable Factors" in the accompanying Product Supplement No. 6.

Payments on the notes are economically equivalent to the amounts that would be paid on a combination of other instruments. For
example, payments on the notes are economically equivalent to a combination of an interest-bearing bond bought by the holder
and one or more options entered into between the holder and us (with one or more implicit option premiums paid over time). The
discussion in this paragraph does not modify or affect the terms of the notes or the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the notes,
as described elsewhere in this Pricing Supplement.



We cannot predict the actual final underlier level or what the market value of your notes will be on any particular trading day, nor
can we predict the relationship between the underlier level and the market value of your notes at any time prior to the stated
maturity date. The actual amount that you will receive, if any, at maturity and the rate of return on the offered notes will depend
on the actual final underlier level determined by the calculation agent as described above. Moreover, the assumptions on which
the hypothetical returns are based may turn out to be inaccurate. Consequently, the amount of cash to be paid in respect of your
notes, if any, on the stated maturity date may be very different from the information reflected in the table and chart above.

An investment in your notes is subject to the risks described below, as well as the risks and considerations described under
"Risk Factors" in the accompanying Prospectus, under "Risk Factors" in the accompanying Prospectus Supplement, under
"Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes" in the accompanying General Terms Supplement, and under "Additional Risk
Factors Specific to the Underlier-Linked Notes" in the accompanying Product Supplement No. 6. You should carefully review
these risks and considerations as well as the terms of the notes described herein and in the accompanying Prospectus, the
accompanying Prospectus Supplement, the accompanying General Terms Supplement and the accompanying Product
Supplement No. 6. Your notes are a riskier investment than ordinary debt securities. Also, your notes are not equivalent to
investing directly in the underlier stocks, i.e., the stocks comprising the underlier to which your notes are linked. You should
carefully consider whether the offered notes are suited to your particular circumstances.



T he N ot e s Are Subje c t t o t he Cre dit Risk of t he Ba nk

Although the return on the notes will be based on the performance of the underlier, the payment of any amount due on the notes
is subject to the credit risk of the Bank, as issuer of the notes. The notes are our unsecured obligations. As further described in
the accompanying Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement, the notes will rank on par with all of the other unsecured and
unsubordinated debt obligations of the Bank, except such obligations as may be preferred by operation of law. Investors are
dependent on our ability to pay all amounts due on the notes, and therefore investors are subject to our credit risk and to changes
in the market's view of our creditworthiness. See "Description of Senior Debt Securities -- Ranking" on page 2 of the
accompanying Prospectus.

The final underlier level will be based on the closing level of the underlier on the determination date (subject to adjustment as
described elsewhere in this Pricing Supplement). Therefore, if the closing level of the underlier dropped precipitously on the
determination date, the cash settlement amount for your notes may be significantly less than it would have been had the cash
settlement amount been linked to the closing level of the underlier prior to such drop in the level of the underlier. Although the
actual level of the underlier on the stated maturity date or at other times during the life of your notes may be higher than the final
underlier level, you will not benefit from the closing level of the underlier at any time other than on the determination date.

Y ou M a y Lose Y our Ent ire I nve st m e nt in t he N ot e s

You may lose your entire investment in the notes. The cash payment on your notes, if any, on the stated maturity date will be
based on the performance of the underlier as measured from the initial underlier level to the closing level on the determination
date. If the final underlier level is less than the initial underlier level, you will lose, for each $1,000 of the face amount of your
notes, an amount equal to the product of (i) the underlier return times (ii) $1,000. Thus, you may lose your entire investment in the
notes, which would include any premium to face amount you paid when you purchased the notes.

Also, the market price of your notes prior to the stated maturity date may be significantly lower than the purchase price you pay
for your notes. Consequently, if you sell your notes before the stated maturity date, you may receive significantly less than the
amount of your investment in the notes.

Y our N ot e s Do N ot Be a r I nt e re st

You will not receive any interest payments on your notes. As a result, even if the cash settlement amount payable for your notes
on the stated maturity date exceeds the face amount of your notes, the overall return you earn on your notes may be less than
you would have earned by investing in a non-index-linked debt security of comparable maturity that bears interest at a prevailing
market rate.

T he Pot e nt ia l for t he V a lue of Y our N ot e s t o I nc re a se Will Be Lim it e d by t he M a x im um Se t t le m e nt Am ount

Your ability to participate in any change in the value of the underlier over the life of your notes will be limited because of the cap
level. The maximum settlement amount will limit the cash settlement amount you may receive for each of your notes at maturity,
no matter how much the level of the underlier may rise beyond the cap level over the life of your notes. Accordingly, the amount
payable for each of your notes may be significantly less than it would have been had you invested directly in the underlier.

The notes will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or any automated quotation system. Although CIBCWM and/or
its affiliates may purchase the notes from holders, they are not obligated to do so and are not required to make a market for the
notes. There can be no assurance that a secondary market will develop for the notes. Because we do not expect that any market
makers will participate in a secondary market for the notes, the price at which you may be able to sell your notes is likely to
depend on the price, if any, at which CIBCWM and/or its affiliates are willing to buy your notes.

If a secondary market does exist, it may be limited. Accordingly, there may be a limited number of buyers if you decide to sell your
notes prior to the stated maturity date. This may affect the price you receive upon such sale. Consequently, you should be willing to
hold the notes to the stated maturity date.

The final level of the underlier will determine the amount to be paid on the notes at maturity. The historical performance of the
underlier does not necessarily give an indication of its future performance. As a result, it is impossible to predict whether the level
of the underlier will rise or fall during the term of the notes. The level of the underlier will be influenced by complex and
interrelated political, economic, financial and other factors.

Y ou H a ve N o Sha re holde r Right s or Right s t o Re c e ive Any U nde rlie r St oc k

Investing in the notes will not make you a holder of any of the underlier stocks. Neither you nor any other holder or owner of the
notes will have any rights with respect to the underlier stocks, including any voting rights, any right to receive dividends or other
distributions, any rights to make a claim against the underlier stocks or any other rights of a holder of the underlier stocks. Your
notes will be paid in cash and you will have no right to receive delivery of any underlier stocks.

At our sole option, we may decide to sell an additional aggregate face amount of the notes subsequent to the trade date. The
