Senior Global Medium-Term Notes

$3,505,000 Capped Leveraged Buffered Notes Linked to the S&P 500® Index due May 26, 2021

· The Capped Leveraged Buffered Notes (the "notes") provide a 2-to-1 upside exposure to any increases in the S&P 500® Index (the "Index"),

subject to a Maximum Return of 17.60%. If the level of the Index decreases, investors will be subject to 1-to-1 downside exposure to any
decrease in the level of the Index beyond a 10% decline, with up to 90% of the principal at risk.
· The notes do not pay interest.

· The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange.

· The notes will be issued in minimum denomination of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.


The notes are unsecured obligations of the Bank and any payment on the notes is subject to the credit risk of the Bank. The notes will not
constitute deposits insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or any other
government agency or instrumentality of Canada, the United States or any other jurisdiction. The notes are not bail-inable debt securities
(as defined on page 6 of the prospectus).

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") nor any state or provincial securities commission has approved or
disapproved of these notes or determined if this pricing supplement or the accompanying underlying supplement, prospectus supplement
or prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Investing in the notes involves risks not associated with an investment in ordinary debt securities. See "Additional Risk Factors" beginning
on page PS-7 of this pricing supplement, 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.

(1) Because certain dealers who purchase the notes for sale to certain fee-based advisory accounts may forgo some or all of their commissions

or selling concessions, the public offering price for investors purchasing the notes in these accounts will be $994 per note.
(2) CIBC World Markets Corp. ("CIBCWM") will receive commissions from the Issuer of 0.60% of the principal amount of the notes, or $6

per $1,000 principal amount. CIBCWM will use these commissions to pay variable selling concessions or fees (including custodial or
clearing fees) to other dealers. The commission received by CIBCWM will be equal to the selling concession paid to such dealers.

The initial estimated value of the notes on the Trade Date as determined by the Bank is $985.10 per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, which is
less than the price to public. See "The Bank's Estimated Value of the Notes" in this pricing supplement.

We will deliver the notes in book-entry form through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") on April 27, 2020 against payment
in immediately available funds.

HYPOTHETICAL PAYMENT AT MATURITY


The following table and examples are provided for illustrative purposes only and are hypothetical. They do not purport to be representative of
every possible scenario concerning increases or decreases in the Final Level of the Index relative to the Initial Level. We cannot predict the Closing
Level of the Index at any time during the term of the notes, including the Valuation Dates. The assumptions we have made in connection with the
illustrations set forth below may not reflect actual events. You should not take this illustration or these examples as an indication or assurance of
the expected performance of the Index or return on the notes. The numbers appearing in the table below and following examples have been
rounded for ease of analysis.

The table below illustrates the Payment at Maturity on a $1,000 investment in the notes for a hypothetical range of Percentage Changes of the
Index from -100% to +100%. The following results are based solely on the assumptions outlined below. The "Hypothetical Return on the Notes"
as used below is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the Payment at Maturity per $1,000 principal amount to
$1,000. The potential returns described here assume that the notes are held to maturity. The following table and examples are based on the
following terms:

This is the hypothetical Buffer Level.


PS-4

The following examples indicate how the Payment at Maturity would be calculated with respect to a hypothetical $1,000 investment in the notes.

Example 1: The Percentage Change of the Index Is 50.00%.

Because the Percentage Change multiplied by the Upside Participation Rate of 200% exceeds the Maximum Return of 17.60%, the Payment at
Maturity would be $1,176.00 per $1,000 principal amount, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × Maximum Return)

= $1,000 + ($1,000 × 17.60%)

= $1,176.00

Example 1 shows that the return on the notes will not exceed the Maximum Return, regardless of the extent to which the level of the Index
increases.

Example 2: The Percentage Change of the Index Is 2.00%.

Because the positive Percentage Change multiplied by the Upside Participation Rate of 200% does not exceed the Maximum Return of 17.60%, the
Payment at Maturity would be $1,040.00 per $1,000 principal amount, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × Percentage Change × Upside Participation Rate)

= $1,000 + ($1,000 × 2.00% × 200%)

= $1,040.00

Example 2 shows that the notes provide a leveraged return if the positive Percentage Change multiplied by the Upside Participation Rate does not
exceed the Maximum Return.

Example 3: The Percentage Change of the Index Is -5.00%.
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1045520/000110465920050188/a20-16501_13424b2.htm[4/23/2020 1:22:19 PM]



Because the Final Level is less than the Initial Level but greater than the Buffer Level, the Payment at Maturity would be $1,000.00 per $1,000
principal amount.

Example 3 shows that the Payment at Maturity will equal the principal amount if the Final Level is at or above the Buffer Level, although the level
of the Index has decreased.

Example 4: The Percentage Change of the Index Is -75.00%.

Because the Final Level is less than the Buffer Level, the Payment at Maturity would be $350.00 per $1,000 principal amount, calculated as
follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 × (Percentage Change + Buffer Amount)]

= $1,000 + [$1,000 × (-75.00% + 10.00%)]

= $350.00

Example 4 shows that you are exposed on a 1-to-1 basis to any decrease in the level of the Index by more than 10%. You may lose up to 90% of
the principal amount.

PS-5

INVESTOR SUITABILITY


The notes may be suitable for you if:

· You believe that the level of the Index will increase moderately from the Initial Level to the Final Level.


· You are willing to make an investment that is exposed to the negative performance of the Index on a 1-to-1 basis for each percentage

point that the Final Level is less than the Buffer Level.

· You are willing to accept that the return on the notes will be limited to the Maximum Return.


· You do not seek current income over the term of the notes.


· You are willing to forgo dividends or other distributions paid on the securities included in the Index.


· You are willing to hold the notes to maturity and you do not seek an investment for which there will be an active secondary market.


· You are willing to assume the credit risk of the Bank for any payment under the notes.


The notes may not be suitable for you if:

· You believe that the level of the Index will decrease from the Initial Level to the Final Level or that it will not increase sufficiently to

provide you with your desired return.

· You are unwilling to make an investment that is exposed to the negative performance of the Index on a 1-to-1 basis for each percentage

point that the Final Level is less than the Buffer Level.

· You seek full payment of the principal amount of the notes at maturity.


· You seek an uncapped return on your investment.


· You seek current income over the term of the notes.


· You want to receive dividends or other distributions paid on the securities included in the Index.


· You are unable or unwilling to hold the notes to maturity or you seek an investment for which there will be an active secondary market.


· You are not willing to assume the credit risk of the Bank for any payment under the notes.


The investor suitability considerations identified above are not exhaustive. Whether or not the notes are a suitable investment for you will
depend on your individual circumstances and you should reach an investment decision only after you and your investment, legal, tax,
accounting and other advisors have carefully considered the suitability of an investment in the notes in light of your particular
circumstances. You should also review ``Additional Risk Factors'' below for risks related to the notes.
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1045520/000110465920050188/a20-16501_13424b2.htm[4/23/2020 1:22:19 PM]



PS-6

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 prospectus supplement and page 1 of the
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.

You may lose some or a substantial portion of the principal amount of your notes.

The notes do not guarantee full return of principal. The repayment of any principal on the notes at maturity depends on the Final Level of the
Index. The Bank will only repay you the full principal amount of your notes if the Final Level is equal to or greater than the Buffer Level. If the
Final Level is less than the Buffer Level, you will be exposed on a 1-to-1 basis to any decrease in the level of the Index by more than 10%. You
may lose up to 90% of your principal amount.

The potential return on your notes will be limited by the Maximum Return.

Your ability to participate in any increase in the level of the Index will be limited because of the Maximum Return. The Maximum Return will
limit the payment you may receive at maturity, no matter how much the level of the Index may rise beyond 108.80% of the Initial Level over the
term of the notes.

The payment on the notes is not linked to the levels of the Index at any time other than the Valuation Dates.

The payment on the notes will be based on the Closing Levels of the Index on the Valuation Dates. Therefore, if the Closing Levels of the Index
declined substantially as of the Valuation Dates compared to the Initial Level, the Payment at Maturity may be significantly less than it would
otherwise have been had the Payment at Maturity been linked to the Closing Levels of the Index on dates other than the Valuation Dates. Although
the actual levels of the Index at other times during the term of the notes may be higher than its Closing Levels on the Valuation Dates, the payment
on the notes will not benefit from the Closing Levels of the Index at any time other than the Valuation Dates.

Payment on the notes is 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 Senior Debt
Securities--Events of Default" in the accompanying prospectus.

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 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

PS-7

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1045520/000110465920050188/a20-16501_13424b2.htm[4/23/2020 1:22:19 PM]


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 level of the Index, 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.

Certain business, trading and hedging activities of us, the agent, and our other affiliates may create conflicts with your interests and could
potentially adversely affect the value of the notes.

We, the agent, and our other affiliates may engage in trading and other business activities related to the Index or any securities included in the
Index that are not for your account or on your behalf. We, the agent, and our other affiliates also may issue or underwrite other financial
instruments with returns based upon the Index. These activities may present a conflict of interest between your interest in the notes and the interests
that we, the agent, and our other affiliates may have in our or their proprietary accounts, in facilitating transactions, including block trades, for our
or their other customers, and in accounts under our or their management. These trading and other business activities, if they affect the level of the
Index or secondary trading in your notes, could be adverse to your interests as a beneficial owner of the notes.

Moreover, we and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the notes, including hedging our obligations under the
notes and making the assumptions and inputs used to determine the pricing of the notes and the initial estimated value of the notes when the terms
of the notes are set. We expect to hedge our obligations under the notes through the agent, one of our other affiliates, and/or another unaffiliated
counterparty. Any of these hedging activities may adversely affect the level of the Index and therefore the market value of the notes and the amount
you will receive, if any, on the notes. In connection with such activities, the economic interests of us, the agent, and our other affiliates may be
adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes. Any of these activities may adversely affect the value of the notes. In addition, because hedging
our obligations entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging activity may result in a profit that is more or
less than expected, or it may result in a loss. We, the agent, or one or more of our other affiliates will retain any profits realized in hedging our
obligations under the notes even if investors do not receive a favorable investment return under the terms of the notes or in any secondary market
transaction. Any profit in connection with such hedging activities will be in addition to any other compensation that we, the agent, and our other
affiliates receive for the sale of the notes, which creates an additional incentive to sell the notes to you. We, the agent, and our other affiliates will
have no obligation to take, refrain from taking or cease taking any action with respect to these transactions based on the potential effect on an
investor in the notes.

There are potential conflicts of interest between you and the calculation agent.

The calculation agent will determine, among other things, the amount of payment on the notes. The calculation agent will exercise its judgment
when performing its functions. For example, the calculation agent will determine whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred on a scheduled
Valuation Date and determine the Closing Level for a scheduled Valuation Date if such scheduled Valuation Date is postponed to the last possible
day. See "Certain Terms of the Notes--Valuation Dates" in the underlying supplement. This determination may, in turn, depend on the calculation
agent's judgment as to whether the event has materially interfered with our ability or the ability of

PS-8

one of our affiliates to unwind our hedge positions. The calculation agent will be required to carry out its duties in good faith and use its
reasonable judgment. However, because we will be the calculation agent, potential conflicts of interest could arise. Neither we nor any of our
affiliates will have any obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the notes in taking any action that might affect the value of your notes.

The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange or any inter-dealer quotation system, and there may be no secondary market for the
notes.

The notes are most suitable for purchasing and holding to maturity. The notes will be new securities for which there is no trading market. The
notes will not be listed on any securities exchange or any inter-dealer quotation system. We cannot assure you as to whether there will be a trading

or secondary market for the notes or, if there were to be such a trading or secondary market, that it would be liquid.

Under ordinary market conditions, CIBCWM or any of our other affiliates may (but are not obligated to) make a secondary market for the notes.
However, they may cease doing so at any time. Because we do not expect other broker-dealers to participate in the secondary market for the notes,
the price at which you may be able to trade your notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which CIBCWM or any of our other affiliates are
willing to transact. If none of CIBCWM or any of our other affiliates makes a market for the notes, there will not be a secondary market for the
notes. Accordingly, we cannot assure you as to the development or liquidity of any secondary market for the notes. If a secondary market in the
notes is not developed or maintained, you may not be able to sell your notes easily or at prices that will provide you with a yield comparable to
that of similar securities that have a liquid secondary market.

The tax treatment of the notes is uncertain.

Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the notes are uncertain. You should consult your tax advisor about your own tax situation. See "United
States Federal Income Tax Considerations" and "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations" in this pricing supplement, "Certain U.S.
Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the underlying supplement and "Material Income Tax Consequences -- Canadian Taxation" in the

UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS


The following discussion is a brief summary of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to an investment in the notes. The
following summary is not complete and is both qualified and supplemented by (although to the extent inconsistent supersedes) the discussion
entitled "Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the underlying supplement, which you should carefully review prior to investing in
the notes. It does not apply to U.S. Holders subject to special rules including holding subject to Section 451(b) of the Code.

The U.S. federal income tax considerations of your investment in the notes are uncertain. No statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly
discusses how the notes should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In the opinion of our tax counsel, Mayer Brown LLP, it would
generally be reasonable to treat the notes as prepaid cash-settled derivative contracts. Pursuant to the terms of the notes, you agree to treat the
notes in this manner for all U.S. federal income tax purposes. If this treatment is respected, you should generally recognize capital gain or loss
upon the sale, exchange or payment upon maturity in an amount equal to the difference between the amount you receive in such transaction and the
amount that you paid for your notes. Such gain or loss should generally be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if you have held your notes for
more than one year.

The expected characterization of the notes is not binding on the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") or the courts. It is possible that the IRS
would seek to characterize the notes in a manner that results in tax consequences to you that are different from those described above or in the
accompanying underlying supplement. Such alternate treatments could include a requirement that a holder accrue ordinary income over the life of
the notes or treat all gain or loss at maturity as ordinary gain or loss. For a more detailed discussion of certain alternative characterizations with
respect to the notes and certain other considerations with respect to an investment in the notes, you should consider the discussion set forth in
"Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" of the accompanying underlying supplement. We are not responsible for any adverse
consequences that you may experience as a result of any alternative characterization of the notes for U.S. federal income tax or other tax purposes.

We will not attempt to ascertain whether any of the entities whose stock is included in the Index would be treated as a passive foreign investment
company ("PFIC") or United States real property holding corporation ("USRPHC"), both as defined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If one or
more of the entities whose stock is included in the Index were so treated, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences might apply. You
should refer to information filed with the SEC and other authorities by the entities whose stock is included in the Index and consult your tax advisor
regarding the possible consequences to you if one or more of the entities whose stock is included in the Index is or becomes a PFIC or a USRPHC.

A "dividend equivalent" payment is treated as a dividend from sources within the United States and such payments generally would be subject to a
30% U.S. withholding tax if paid to a non-U.S. holder. Under U.S. Treasury Department regulations, payments (including deemed payments) with
respect to equity-linked instruments ("ELIs") that are "specified ELIs" may be treated as dividend equivalents if such specified ELIs reference an
interest in an "underlying security," which is generally any interest in an entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes if a
payment with respect to such interest could give rise to a U.S. source dividend. However, IRS guidance provides that withholding on dividend
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1045520/000110465920050188/a20-16501_13424b2.htm[4/23/2020 1:22:19 PM]


equivalent payments will not apply to specified ELIs that are not delta-one instruments and that are issued before January 1, 2023. Based on our
determination that the notes are not "delta-one" instruments, non-U.S. holders should not be subject to withholding on dividend equivalent
payments, if any, under the notes. However, it is possible that the notes could be treated as deemed reissued for U.S. federal income tax purposes
upon the occurrence of certain events affecting the Index or the notes, and following such occurrence the notes could be treated as subject to
withholding on dividend equivalent payments. Non-U.S. holders that enter, or have entered, into other transactions in respect of the Index or the
notes should consult their tax advisors as to the application of the dividend equivalent withholding tax in the context of the notes and their other
transactions. If any payments are treated as dividend equivalents subject to withholding, we (or the applicable paying agent) would be entitled to
withhold taxes without being required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so withheld.

You should consult your tax advisor as to the tax consequences of such characterization and any possible alternative characterizations of
the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. You should also consult your tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax and other
tax consequences of your investment in the notes in your particular circumstances, including the application of state, local or other tax
laws and the possible effects of changes in federal or other tax laws.

CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS


In the opinion of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, our Canadian tax counsel, the following summary describes the principal Canadian federal
income tax considerations under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations thereto (the "Canadian Tax Act") generally applicable at the date
hereof to a purchaser who acquires beneficial ownership of a note pursuant to this pricing supplement and who for the purposes of the Canadian
Tax Act and at all relevant times: (a) is neither resident nor deemed to be resident in Canada; (b) deals at arm's length with the Issuer and any
transferee resident (or deemed to be resident) in Canada to whom the purchaser disposes of the note; (c) does not use or hold and is not deemed to
use or hold the note in, or in the course of, carrying on a business in Canada; (d) is entitled to receive all payments (including any interest and
principal) made on the note; and (e) is not a, and deals at arm's length with any, "specified shareholder" of the Issuer for purposes of the thin
capitalization rules in the Canadian Tax Act (a "Non-Resident Holder"). A "specified shareholder" for these purposes generally includes a person
who (either alone or together with persons with whom that person is not dealing at arm's length for the purposes of the Canadian Tax Act) owns or
has the right to acquire or control or is otherwise deemed to own 25% or more of the Issuer's shares determined on a votes or fair market value
basis. Special rules which apply to non-resident insurers carrying on business in Canada and elsewhere are not discussed in this summary.

This summary is supplemental to and should be read together with the description of material Canadian federal income tax considerations relevant
to a Non-Resident Holder owning notes under "Material Income Tax Consequences--Canadian Taxation" in the accompanying prospectus and a
Non-Resident Holder should carefully read that description as well.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular
Non-Resident Holder. Non-Resident Holders are advised to consult with their own tax advisors with respect to their particular
circumstances.

Based on Canadian tax counsel's understanding of the Canada Revenue Agency's administrative policies, and having regard to the terms of the
notes, interest payable on the notes should not be considered to be "participating debt interest" as defined in the Canadian Tax Act and
accordingly, a Non-Resident Holder should not be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding tax in respect of amounts paid or credited or
deemed to have been paid or credited by the Issuer on a note as, on account of or in lieu of payment of, or in satisfaction of, interest.

Non-Resident Holders should consult their own advisors regarding the consequences to them of a disposition of notes to a person with whom they
are not dealing at arm's length for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act.
