Risk Factors
Please see the Preliminary Offering Documents for a description of certain risks related to this investment, including, but not limited to, the following:
| · | If your notes are not automatically called, depending on the performance of the Market Measure as measured shortly before the maturity date, you may lose up to 100% of the principal amount. | |
| · | If the notes are called, your investment return is limited to the return represented by the Call Premium. | |
| · | Changes in the level of one of the Basket Components may be offset by changes in the levels of the other Basket Components. | |
| · | Payments on the notes, including any repayment of principal, are subject to the credit risk of CIBC, and actual or perceived changes in the creditworthiness of CIBC are expected to affect the value of the notes. If CIBC becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its obligations, you may lose your entire investment. | |
| · | The initial estimated value of the notes on the pricing date will be less than their public offering price. | |
| · | If you attempt to sell the notes prior to maturity, their market value may be lower than both the public offering price and the initial estimated value of the notes on the pricing date. | |
| · | As a noteholder, you will have no rights of a holder of the securities represented by the Basket Components, and you will not be entitled to receive securities, dividends or other distributions by the issuers of those securities. | |
| · | Your return on the notes may be adversely affected by factors affecting the international securities markets, specifically markets in the countries represented by the Basket Components. In addition, you will not obtain the benefit of any increase in the value of the currencies in which the securities included in the Basket Components trade against the U.S. dollar, which you would have received if you had owned the securities included in the Basket Components during the term of your notes, although the value of the Market Measure may be adversely affected by general exchange rate movements in the market. | |
| · | Recent executive orders could adversely affect your investment in the notes. |
Final terms will be set on the pricing date within the given range for the specified Market-Linked Investment. Please see the Preliminary Offering Documents for complete product disclosure, including related risks and tax disclosure.
