HYPOTHETICAL PAYOUT PROFILE

The following profile illustrates the potential payment on the securities for a range of hypothetical percentage changes in the Closing Level of the
Index from the Pricing Date to the applicable Call Observation Date (including the Final Valuation Date). The profile is based on the Call Premium
of 6.00% for the first Call Observation Date, 12.00% for the second Call Observation Date, 18.00% for the third Call Observation Date and
24.00% for the final Call Observation Date and the Threshold Level equal to 90% of the Starting Level. This profile has been prepared for
purposes of illustration only. Your actual return will depend on (i) whether the securities are automatically called; (ii) if the securities are
automatically called, the actual Call Observation Date on which the securities are called; (iii) if the securities are not automatically called, the
actual Ending Level of the Index; and (iv) whether you hold your securities to maturity or earlier automatic call.

INVESTOR CONSIDERATIONS

We have designed the securities for investors who:

·
believe that the Closing Level of the Index will be greater than or equal to the Starting Level on one of the Call Observation Dates;

·
seek the potential for a fixed return if the Index has appreciated at all as of any of the Call Observation Dates in lieu of full participation in

any potential appreciation of the Index;
·
understand that if the Closing Level of the Index is less than the Starting Level on each of the Call Observation Dates (including the Final

Valuation Date), they will not receive any positive return on their investment in the securities, and that if the Closing Level of the Index
on the Final Valuation Date is less than the Starting Level by more than 10%, they will receive less, and up to 90% less, than the principal
amount per security;
·
understand that the term of the securities may be as short as approximately one year and that they will not receive a higher Call Premium

payable with respect to a later Call Observation Date if the securities are called on an earlier Call Observation Date;
·
are willing to forgo periodic interest payments on the securities and dividends on securities included in the Index; and

·
are willing to hold the securities until maturity or earlier automatic call.


The securities are not designed for, and may not be a suitable investment for, investors who:

·
seek a liquid investment or are unable or unwilling to hold the securities to maturity or earlier automatic call;

·
believe that the Closing Level of the Index will be less than the Starting Level on each of the Call Observation Dates;

·
seek a security with a fixed term;

·
seek full return at maturity of the principal amount of the securities;

·
are unwilling to accept the risk that, if the Closing Level of the Index is less than the Starting Level on each of the Call Observation Dates

(including the Final Valuation Date), they will not receive any positive return on their investment in the securities;
·
are unwilling to accept the risk that the Closing Level of the Index may decrease by more than 10% from the Starting Level to the Ending

Level;
·
are unwilling to purchase securities with an estimated value as of the Pricing Date that is lower than the original offering price;

·
seek current income;

·
are unwilling to accept the risk of exposure to the large capitalization segment of the United States equity market;

·
seek uncapped exposure to the upside performance of the Index beyond the applicable Call Premiums;

·
are unwilling to accept the credit risk of CIBC to obtain exposure to the Index generally, or to the exposure to the Index that the securities

provide specifically; or
·
prefer the lower risk of fixed income investments with comparable maturities issued by companies with comparable credit ratings.

RISK FACTORS

The securities have complex features and investing in the securities will involve risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt
securities or the securities included in the Index. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below and "Risk Factors" beginning on
page S-1 of the accompanying underlying supplement, page S-1 of the prospectus supplement and page 1 of the prospectus, as well as the other
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1045520/000110465919054930/a19-19323_31424b2.htm[10/18/2019 3:24:06 PM]


information contained in this pricing supplement and the accompanying underlying supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus, including
the documents they incorporate by reference. As described in more detail below, the value of the securities may vary considerably before the
Stated Maturity Date due to events that are difficult to predict and are beyond our control. You should reach an investment decision only after you
have carefully considered with your advisors the suitability of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances.

If The Securities Are Not Automatically Called And The Ending Level Is Less Than The Threshold Level, You Will Receive Less, And Up
To 90% Less, Than The Principal Amount Of Your Securities At Maturity.

We will not repay you a fixed amount on the securities on the Stated Maturity Date. If the Closing Level of the Index is less than the Starting Level
on each of the Call Observation Dates, the securities will not be automatically called, and you will receive a payment at maturity that will be equal
to or less than the principal amount per security, depending on the Ending Level (i.e., the Closing Level of the Index on the Final Valuation Date).

If the Ending Level is less than the Threshold Level, the payment you receive at maturity will be reduced by an amount equal to the decline in the
level of the Index to the extent it is below the Threshold Level (expressed as a percentage of the Starting Level). The Threshold Level is 90% of the
Starting Level. As a result, you may receive less, and up to 90% less, than the principal amount per security at maturity even if the level of the
Index is greater than or equal to the Starting Level or the Threshold Level at certain times during the term of the securities.

If the securities are not automatically called, your return on the securities will be zero or negative, and your yield on the securities will be less than
the yield you would earn if you bought a traditional interest-bearing debt security of CIBC or another issuer with a similar credit rating with the
same Stated Maturity Date.

The Potential Return On The Securities Is Limited To The Call Premium And May Be Less Than The Return On A Direct Investment In
The Securities Included In The Index.

The potential return on the securities is limited to the applicable Call Premium, regardless of the performance of the Index. The Index may
appreciate by significantly more than the percentage represented by the applicable Call Premium from the Pricing Date through the applicable Call
Observation Date, in which case an investment in the securities will underperform a hypothetical alternative investment providing a 1-to-1 return
based on the performance of the Index. Furthermore, if the securities are called on an earlier Call Observation Date, you will receive a lower Call
Premium than if the securities were called on a later Call Observation Date, and accordingly, if the securities are called on one of the earlier Call
Observation Dates, you will not receive the highest potential Call Premium.

In addition, your return on the securities will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the securities included in the Index and
received the dividends and other payments paid on those securities. This is in part because any payment on the securities will be determined by
reference to the Closing Level of the Index, which will be calculated by reference to the prices of the securities in the Index without taking into
consideration the value of dividends and other payments paid on those securities.

You Will Be Subject To Reinvestment Risk.

If your securities are automatically called early, the term of the securities may be reduced to as short as approximately one year. There is no
guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the securities at a comparable return for a similar level of risk in
the event the securities are automatically called prior to maturity.

No Periodic Interest Will Be Paid On The Securities.

No periodic interest will be paid on the securities. However, because it is possible that the securities may be classified for U.S. federal income tax
purposes as contingent payment debt instruments rather than prepaid forward contracts, you may be required to accrue interest income over the
term of your securities. See "Summary of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" in this pricing supplement and "Certain U.S. Federal Income
Tax Consequences" in the underlying supplement.

The Securities Are Subject To The Credit Risk Of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.

The securities are our obligations exclusively and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any amounts payable under
the securities are subject to our creditworthiness, and you will have no ability to pursue any securities included in the Index for payment. As a
result, our actual and perceived creditworthiness and actual or anticipated decreases in our credit ratings may affect the value of the securities and,
in the event we were to default on our obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the securities. See
"Description of the Notes We May Offer--Events of Default" in the prospectus supplement.

Our Estimated Value Of The Securities Is Lower Than The Original Offering Price Of The Securities.

Our estimated value is only an estimate using several factors. The original offering price of the securities exceeds our estimated value because
costs associated with selling and structuring the securities, as well as hedging the securities, are included in the original offering price of the
securities. See "The Estimated Value of the Securities" in this pricing supplement.

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1045520/000110465919054930/a19-19323_31424b2.htm[10/18/2019 3:24:06 PM]


Our Estimated Value Does Not Represent Future Values Of The Securities And May Differ From Others' Estimates.

Our estimated value of the securities was determined by reference to our internal pricing models when the terms of the securities were set. This
estimated value was based on market conditions and other relevant factors existing at that time 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 securities that are greater than or less than our 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 value of the securities could change significantly based on, among
other things, changes in market conditions, our creditworthiness, interest rate movements and other relevant factors, which may impact the price, if
any, at which Wells Fargo Securities or any other person would be willing to buy securities from you in secondary market transactions. See "The
Estimated Value of the Securities" in this pricing supplement.

Our Estimated Value Was Not Determined By Reference To Credit Spreads For Our Conventional Fixed-Rate Debt.

The internal funding rate used in the determination of our estimated value generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our
conventional fixed-rate debt. If we were to have used the interest rate implied by our conventional fixed-rate credit spreads, we would expect the
economic terms of the securities to be more favorable to you. Consequently, our use of an internal funding rate had an adverse effect on the terms
of the securities and could have an adverse effect on any secondary market prices of the securities. See "The Estimated Value of the Securities" in
this pricing supplement.

The Estimated Value Of The Securities Is Not An Indication Of The Price, If Any, At Which Wells Fargo Securities Or Any Other Person
May Be Willing To Buy The Securities From You In The Secondary Market.

The price, if any, at which Wells Fargo Securities or any of its affiliates may purchase the securities in the secondary market will be based on
Wells Fargo Securities' proprietary pricing models and will fluctuate over the term of the securities as a result of changes in the market and other
factors described in the next risk factor. Any such secondary market price for the securities will also be reduced by a bid-offer spread, which may
vary depending on the aggregate principal amount of the securities to be purchased in the secondary market transaction, and the expected cost of
unwinding any related hedging transactions. Unless the factors described in the next risk factor change significantly in your favor, any such
secondary market price for the securities will likely be less than the original offering price.

If Wells Fargo Securities or any of its affiliates makes a secondary market in the securities at any time up to the Issue Date or during the three-
month period following the Issue Date, the secondary market price offered by Wells Fargo Securities or any of its affiliates will be increased by an
amount reflecting a portion of the costs associated with selling, structuring, hedging and issuing the securities that are included in the original
offering price. Because this portion of the costs is not fully deducted upon issuance, any secondary market price offered by Wells Fargo Securities
or any of its affiliates during this period will be higher than it would be if it were based solely on Wells Fargo Securities' proprietary pricing
models less the bid-offer spread and hedging unwind costs described above. The amount of this increase in the secondary market price will decline
steadily to zero over this three-month period. If you hold the securities through an account at Wells Fargo Securities or one of its affiliates, we
expect that this increase will also be reflected in the value indicated for the securities on your brokerage account statement. If you hold your
securities through an account at a broker-dealer other than Wells Fargo Securities or any of its affiliates, the value of the securities on your
brokerage account statement may be different than if you held your securities at Wells Fargo Securities or any of its affiliates.

The Value Of The Securities Prior To Maturity Will Be Affected By Numerous Factors, Some Of Which Are Related In Complex Ways.

The value of the securities prior to maturity will be affected by the then-current level of the Index, interest rates at that time and a number of other
factors, some of which are interrelated in complex ways. The effect of any one factor may be offset or magnified by the effect of another factor.
The following factors, among others, are expected to affect the value of the securities. When we refer to the "value" of your security, we mean the
value you could receive for your security if you are able to sell it in the open market before the Stated Maturity Date.

· Index Performance. The value of the securities prior to maturity will depend substantially on the then-current level of the Index. The

price at which you may be able to sell the securities before maturity may be at a discount, which could be substantial, from their principal
amount, if the level of the Index at such time is less than, equal to or not sufficiently above its Starting Level or Threshold Level.

· Interest Rates. The value of the securities may be affected by changes in the interest rates in the U.S. markets.


· Volatility Of The Index. Volatility is the term used to describe the size and frequency of market fluctuations. The value of the securities

may be affected if the volatility of the Index changes.

· Time Remaining To Maturity. The value of the securities at any given time prior to maturity will likely be different from that which

would be expected based on the then-current level of the Index. This difference will most likely reflect a discount due to expectations and
uncertainty concerning the level of the Index during the period of time still remaining to the maturity date. In general, as the time
remaining to maturity decreases, the value of the securities will approach the amount that could be payable at maturity based on the then-

current level of the Index.

· Dividend Yields On Securities Included In The Index. The value of the securities may be affected by the dividend yields on securities

included in the Index.

· Our Credit Ratings, Financial Condition And Results Of Operation. Actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings, financial

condition or results of operation may affect the value of the securities. However, because the return on the securities is dependent upon
factors in addition to our ability to pay our obligations under the securities, such as the level of the Index, an improvement in our credit
ratings, financial condition or results of operation will not reduce the other investment risks related to the securities.

The value of the securities will also be limited by the automatic call feature because if the securities are automatically called, the return will not be
greater than the applicable Call Premium. You should understand that the impact of one of the factors specified above, such as a change in interest
rates, may offset some or all of any change in the value of the securities attributable to another factor, such as a change in the level of the Index.

The Securities Will Not Be Listed On Any Securities Exchange And We Do Not Expect A Trading Market For The Securities To Develop.

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

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 securities prior
to maturity. This may affect the price you receive upon such sale. Consequently, you should be willing to hold the securities to maturity.

A Call Payment Date And The Stated Maturity Date May Be Postponed If A Calculation Day Is Postponed.

A calculation day (i.e., a Call Observation Date, including the Final Valuation Date) will be postponed if the applicable originally scheduled
calculation day is not a Trading Day or if the calculation agent determines that a market disruption event has occurred or is continuing on that
calculation day. If such a postponement occurs with respect to a calculation day other than the Final Valuation Date, then the related Call Payment
Date will be postponed. If such a postponement occurs with respect to the Final Valuation Date, the Stated Maturity Date will be the later of (i) the
initial Stated Maturity Date and (ii) three Business Days after the Final Valuation Date, as postponed.

We Or One Of Our Affiliates Will Be The Calculation Agent And, As A Result, Potential Conflicts Of Interest Could Arise.

We or one of our affiliates will be the calculation agent for purposes of determining, among other things, the Closing Levels of the Index on each
calculation day and whether the securities are automatically called and may be required to make other determinations that affect the return you
receive on the securities. In making these determinations, the calculation agent may be required to make discretionary judgments, including
determining whether a market disruption event has occurred on a scheduled calculation day, which may result in postponement of that calculation
day; determining the Closing Level of the Index if a calculation day is postponed to the last day to which it may be postponed and a market
disruption event occurs on that day; if publication of the Index is discontinued, selecting a successor or, if no successor is available, determining the
Closing Level on the applicable calculation day; and determining whether to adjust the Closing Level of the Index on a calculation day in the event
of certain changes in or modifications to the Index. Although the calculation agent will exercise its judgment in good faith when performing its
functions, potential conflicts of interest may exist between the calculation agent and you.

Our Economic Interests And Those Of Any Dealer Participating In The Offering Of Securities Will Potentially Be Adverse To Your
Interests.

You should be aware of the following ways in which our economic interests and those of any dealer participating in the distribution of the
securities, which we refer to as a "participating dealer," will potentially be adverse to your interests as an investor in the securities. In engaging in
certain of the activities described below, our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may take actions that may adversely affect the
value of and your return on the securities, and in so doing they will have no obligation to consider your interests as an investor in the securities.
Our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may realize a profit from these activities even if investors do not receive a favorable
investment return on the securities.

·
Research reports by our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may be inconsistent with an investment in the

securities and may adversely affect the level of the Index. Our affiliates or any dealer participating in the offering of the securities or
its affiliates may, at present or in the future, publish research reports on the Index or the companies whose securities are included in
the Index. This research will be modified from time to time without notice and may, at present or in the future, express opinions or
provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the securities. Any research reports on the Index or the
companies whose securities are included in the Index could adversely affect the level of the Index and, therefore, adversely affect the

value of and your return on the securities. You are encouraged to derive information concerning the Index from multiple sources and
should not rely on the views expressed by us or our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates. In addition, any research
reports on the Index or the companies whose securities are included in the Index published on or prior to the Pricing Date could result
in an increase in the level of the Index on the Pricing Date, which would adversely affect investors in the securities by increasing the
level at which the Index must close on a calculation day in order for investors in the securities to receive a favorable return.

·
Business activities of our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates with the companies whose securities are included in

the Index may adversely affect the level of the Index. Our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may, at present or in
the future, engage in business with the companies whose securities are included in the Index, including making loans to those
companies (including exercising creditors' remedies with respect to such loans), making equity investments in those companies or
providing investment banking, asset management or other advisory services to those companies. These business activities could
adversely affect the level of the Index and, therefore, adversely affect the value of and your return on the securities. In addition, in the
course of these business activities, our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may acquire non-public information about
one or more of the companies whose securities are included in the Index. If our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates do
acquire such non-public information, we and they are not obligated to disclose such non-public information to you.

·
Hedging activities by our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may adversely affect the level of the Index. We

expect to hedge our obligations under the securities through one or more hedge counterparties, which may include our affiliates or
any participating dealer or its affiliates. Pursuant to such hedging activities, our hedge counterparty may acquire securities included
in the Index or listed or over-the-counter derivative or synthetic instruments related to the Index or such securities. Depending on,
among other things, future market conditions, the aggregate amount and the composition of such positions are likely to vary over
time. To the extent that our hedge counterparty has a long hedge position in any of the securities included in the Index, or derivative
or synthetic instruments related to the Index or such securities, they may liquidate a portion of such holdings at or about the time of a
calculation day or at or

about the time of a change in the securities included in the Index. These hedging activities could potentially adversely affect the level
of the Index and, therefore, adversely affect the value of and your return on the securities.

·
Trading activities by our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may adversely affect the level of the Index. Our

affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may engage in trading in the securities included in the Index and other instruments
relating to the Index or such securities on a regular basis as part of their general broker-dealer and other businesses. Any of these
trading activities could potentially adversely affect the prices of the securities included in the Index and, therefore, adversely affect
the value of and your return on the securities.

·
A participating dealer or its affiliates may realize hedging profits projected by its proprietary pricing models in addition to any

selling concession and/or any distribution expense fee, creating a further incentive for the participating dealer to sell the
securities to you. If any participating dealer or any of its affiliates conducts hedging activities for us in connection with the securities,
that participating dealer or its affiliates expect to realize a projected profit from such hedging activities, and this projected profit will
be in addition to any concession or distribution expense fee that the participating dealer receives for the sale of the securities to you.
This additional projected profit may create a further incentive for the participating dealer to sell the securities to you.

The U.S. Federal Tax Consequences Of An Investment In The Securities Are Unclear.

There is no direct legal authority regarding the proper U.S. federal tax treatment of the securities, and we do not plan to request a ruling from the
U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"). Consequently, significant aspects of the tax treatment of the securities are uncertain, and the IRS or a
court might not agree with the treatment of the securities as pre-paid cash-settled derivative contracts. If the IRS were successful in asserting an
alternative treatment of the securities, the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the securities might be materially and adversely
affected. As described under "Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the underlying supplement, the U.S. Treasury Department and
the IRS released a notice requesting comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of "prepaid forward contracts"
and similar instruments. Any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely
affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including the character and timing of income or loss and the degree, if any, to which
income realized by non-U.S. persons should be subject to withholding tax, possibly with retroactive effect.

Furthermore, Section 871(m) of the Internal Revenue Code imposes a withholding tax of up to 30% on "dividend equivalents" paid to non-U.S.
investors in respect of certain financial instruments linked to U.S. equities. As of the date of this pricing supplement, the securities should not be
subject to withholding under Section 871(m).

Both U.S. and non-U.S. persons considering an investment in the securities should review carefully "Summary of U.S. Federal Income Tax
