Summary
The Capped Leveraged Index Return Notes®
Linked to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, due July 31,
2026 (the “notes”) are our senior unsecured debt securities. The notes are not guaranteed or insured by the Canada Deposit
Insurance Corporation, the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency of the United States, Canada or
any other jurisdiction or secured by collateral. The notes are not bail-inable debt securities (as defined on page 6 of the prospectus).
The notes will rank equally with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated debt. Any payments due on the notes, including any repayment
of principal, will be subject to the credit risk of CIBC. The notes provide you a leveraged return, subject to a cap, if the Ending
Value of the Market Measure, which is the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (the “Index”), is greater than the Starting Value. If
the Ending Value is equal to or less than the Starting Value but greater than or equal to the Threshold Value, you will receive the principal
amount of your notes. If the Ending Value is less than the Threshold Value, you will lose a portion, which could be significant, of the
principal amount of your notes. Any payments on the notes will be calculated based on the $10 principal amount per unit and will depend
on the performance of the Index, subject to our credit risk. See “Terms of the Notes” below.
The economic terms of the notes (including the Capped Value) are based
on our internal funding rate, which is the rate we would pay to borrow funds through the issuance of market-linked notes, and the economic
terms of certain related hedging arrangements. Our internal funding rate is typically lower than the rate we would pay when we issue conventional
fixed rate debt securities. This difference in funding rate, as well as the underwriting discount and the hedging-related charge and certain
service fee described below, reduced the economic terms of the notes to you and the initial estimated value of the notes on the pricing
date. Due to these factors, the public offering price you pay to purchase the notes is greater than the initial estimated value of the
notes.
On the cover page of this term sheet, we have provided the initial
estimated value for the notes. This initial estimated value was determined based on our pricing models, and was based on our internal
funding rate on the pricing date, market conditions and other relevant factors existing at that time, and our assumptions about market
parameters. For more information about the initial estimated value and the structuring of the notes, see “Structuring the Notes”
on page TS-13.

Hypothetical Payout Profile and Examples of Payments
at Maturity
Capped Leveraged Index Return Notes®
|
This graph reflects the returns on the notes,
based on the Participation Rate of 200%, the Threshold Value of 90% of the Starting Value and the Capped Value of $12.245 per unit. The
green line reflects the returns on the notes, while the dotted gray line reflects the returns of a direct investment in the stocks included
in the Index, excluding dividends.
This graph has been prepared for purposes
of illustration only. |
The following table and examples are for purposes of illustration only.
They are based on hypothetical values and show hypothetical returns on the notes. They illustrate the calculation of the
Redemption Amount and total rate of return based on a hypothetical Starting Value of 100.00, a hypothetical Threshold Value of 90.00,
the Participation Rate of 200%, the Capped Value of $12.245 per unit and a range of hypothetical Ending Values. The actual amount you
receive and the resulting total rate of return will depend on the actual Starting Value, Threshold Value and Ending Value, and whether
you hold the notes to maturity. The following examples do not take into account any tax consequences from investing in the notes.
For recent actual levels of the Market Measure, see “The Index”
section below. The Index is a price return index and as such the Ending Value will not include any income generated by dividends paid
on the stocks included in the Index, which you would otherwise be entitled to receive if you invested in those stocks directly. In addition,
all payments on the notes are subject to issuer credit risk.

Redemption Amount Calculation Examples
Example 1 |
The Ending Value is 50.00, or 50.00% of the Starting Value: |
Starting Value: 100.00 |
Threshold Value: 90.00 |
Ending Value: 50.00 |
|
= $6.00 Redemption Amount per unit |
Example 2 |
The Ending Value is 97.00, or 97.00% of the Starting Value: |
Starting Value: 100.00 |
Threshold Value: 90.00 |
Ending Value: 97.00 |
Redemption Amount (per unit) = $10.00, the principal amount, since the Ending Value is less than the Starting Value but equal to or greater than the Threshold Value. |
Example 3 |
The Ending Value is 102.00, or 102.00% of the Starting Value: |
Starting Value: 100.00 |
Ending Value: 102.00 |
|
= $10.40 Redemption Amount per unit |
Example 4 |
The Ending Value is 130.00, or 130.00% of the Starting Value: |
Starting Value: 100.00 |
Ending Value: 130.00 |
|
= $16.00, however, because the Redemption Amount for the notes cannot exceed the Capped Value, the Redemption Amount will be $12.245 per unit |

Risk Factors
There are important differences between the notes and a conventional
debt security. An investment in the notes involves significant risks, including those listed below. You should carefully review the more
detailed explanation of risks relating to the notes in the “Risk Factors” sections beginning on page PS-7 of product
supplement EQUITY LIRN-1, page S-1 of the prospectus supplement, and page 1 of the prospectus identified above. We also urge
you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting, and other advisors before you invest in the notes.
Structure-related Risks
| § | Depending on the performance of the Index as measured shortly before the maturity
date, you may lose up to 90% of the principal amount. |
| § | Your investment return is limited to the return represented by the Capped
Value and may be less than a comparable investment directly in the stocks included in the Index. |
| § | Your return on the notes may be less than the yield you could earn by owning
a conventional fixed or floating rate debt security of comparable maturity. |
| § | 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. If we become insolvent or are unable to pay our obligations,
you may lose your entire investment. |
Valuation- and Market-related Risks
| § | Our initial estimated value of the notes is lower than the public offering
price of the notes. The public offering price of the notes exceeds our initial estimated value because costs associated with selling and
structuring the notes, as well as hedging the notes, all as further described in “Structuring the Notes” on page TS-13,
are included in the public offering price of the notes. |
| § | Our initial estimated value does not represent future values of the notes
and may differ from others’ estimates. Our initial estimated value is only an estimate, which was determined by reference to our
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, our internal funding rate on the pricing date 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 notes that
are greater or less than our 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, our creditworthiness, interest rate movements and other
relevant factors, which may impact the price at which MLPF&S, BofAS or any other party would be willing to buy notes from you in any
secondary market transactions. Our estimated value does not represent a minimum price at which MLPF&S, BofAS or any other party would
be willing to buy your notes in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. |
| § | Our initial estimated value of the notes was not determined by reference to
credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. The internal funding rate that was used in the determination of our 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 we 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 pricing date, and could have an adverse effect on any secondary market prices of the notes. |
| § | A trading market is not expected to develop for the notes. None of us, MLPF&S
or BofAS is obligated to make a market for, or to repurchase, the notes. There is no assurance that any party will be willing to purchase
your notes at any price in any secondary market. |
Conflict-related Risks
| § | Our business, hedging and trading activities, and those of MLPF&S, BofAS
and our respective affiliates (including trades in shares of companies included in the Index), and any hedging and trading activities
we, MLPF&S, BofAS or our respective affiliates engage in for our clients’ accounts, may affect the market value and return of
the notes and may create conflicts of interest with you. |
| § | There may be potential conflicts of interest involving the calculation agent,
which is BofAS. We have the right to appoint and remove the calculation agent. |
Market Measure-related Risks
| § | The Index sponsor may adjust the Index in a way that affects its level, and
has no obligation to consider your interests. |
| § | As a noteholder, you will have no rights of a holder of the securities represented
by the Index, and you will not be entitled to receive securities, dividends or other distributions by the issuers of those securities. |
| § | While we, MLPF&S, BofAS or our respective affiliates may from time to
time own securities of companies included in the Index, we, MLPF&S, BofAS and our respective affiliates do not control any company
included in the Index, and have not verified any disclosure made by any other company. |

|
| § | The value of, and your return on, the notes may be affected by factors affecting
the international securities markets, specifically changes in the countries represented by the Index. |
| § | Exchange rate movements may adversely impact the value of the notes. |
Tax-related Risks
| § | The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the notes are uncertain, and may
be adverse to a holder of the notes. See “Summary of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” below and “U.S. Federal Income
Tax Summary” beginning on page PS-39 of product supplement EQUITY LIRN-1. For a discussion of the Canadian federal income tax
consequences of investing in the notes, see “Material Income Tax Consequences—Canadian Taxation” in the prospectus,
as supplemented by the discussion under “Summary of Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” herein. |
Additional Risk Factors
There are risks associated with emerging markets. An investment
in the notes will involve risks that are associated with investments that are linked to the equity securities of issuers from emerging
markets. Many of the issuers included in the Index are based in nations that are undergoing rapid institutional change, including the
restructuring of economic, political, financial and legal systems. The regulatory and tax environments in these nations may be subject
to change without review or appeal and many emerging markets suffer from underdevelopment of their capital markets and their tax systems.
In addition, in some of these nations, issuers of the relevant securities face the threat of expropriation of their assets and/or nationalization
of their businesses. It may be more difficult for an investor in these markets to monitor investments in these companies, because these
companies may be subject to fewer disclosure requirements than companies in developed markets, and economic and financial data about some
of these countries may be unreliable.
Recent executive orders could adversely affect
your investment in the notes. Pursuant to recent executive orders, U.S. persons are prohibited from engaging in transactions in publicly
traded securities of certain companies that are determined to be linked to the military, intelligence and security apparatus of the People’s
Republic of China. The prohibition also covers any securities that are derivative of, or are designed to provide investment exposure to,
such securities. In response to this, the Index sponsor announced that it removed a small number of companies from the Index. If in the
future any existing constituent of the Index is designated as such a prohibited company, the value of such constituent may be adversely
affected, perhaps significantly, which would adversely affect the performance of the Index. In addition, under these circumstances, the
Index sponsor has publicly announced that it intends to remove any such constituent from the Index. Any changes to the composition of
the Index in response to the executive orders described above may adversely affect the performance of the Index and the notes.
Other Terms of the Notes
Market Measure Business Day
The following definition shall supersede and replace
the definition of a “Market Measure Business Day” set forth in product supplement EQUITY LIRN-1.
A “Market Measure Business Day” means

| (A) | each of the London Stock Exchange, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the São Paulo Stock Exchange,
the Korea Stock Exchange and the Shanghai Stock Exchange (or any successor to the foregoing exchanges) are open for trading; and |
| (B) | the Index or any successor thereto is calculated and published. |

The Index
All disclosures contained in this term sheet regarding the Index, including,
without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation, and changes in its components, have been derived from publicly available sources,
which we have not independently verified. The information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, MSCI Inc. (“MSCI”
or the “Index sponsor”). The Index sponsor, which licenses the copyright and all other rights to the Index, has no obligation
to continue to publish, and may discontinue publication of, the Index. The consequences of the Index sponsor discontinuing publication
of the Index are discussed in the section entitled “Description of LIRNs—Discontinuance of an Index” beginning on page PS-26
of product supplement EQUITY LIRN-1. None of us, the calculation agent, MLPF&S or BofAS accepts any responsibility for the calculation,
maintenance or publication of the Index or any successor index.
The Index is a free float-adjusted, capitalization-weighted index that
is designed to measure the performance of the large- and mid-cap segments of emerging markets. As of May 31, 2024, the Index consisted
of companies from the following developing countries: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia,
Korea, Kuwait, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and United Arab
Emirates. The Index covers approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in each country. The Index is part of the
MSCI Market Cap Weighted Indexes series and is an MSCI Global Investable Market Index. The Index is reported by Bloomberg under the symbol
“MXEF.”
The MSCI Indices
MSCI provides global equity indices that are designed
to measure equity performance in international markets. In constructing these indices, MSCI applies its index construction and maintenance
methodology across developed, emerging and frontier markets.
MSCI enhanced the methodology used in its international
equity indices. The MSCI Standard and MSCI Small Cap Indices, along with the other MSCI equity indices based on them, transitioned to
the Global Investable Market Indexes methodology described below. The transition was completed at the end of May 2008. The MSCI Standard
Indices are composed of the MSCI Large Cap and Mid Cap Indices. The MSCI Global Small Cap Index transitioned to the MSCI Small Cap Index
resulting from the Global Investable Market Indices methodology and contains no overlap with constituents of the transitioned MSCI Standard
Indices. Together, the relevant MSCI Large Cap, Mid Cap, and Small Cap Indices make up the MSCI investable market index for each country,
composite, sector, and style index that MSCI offers.
Index Construction
The MSCI Global Investable Market Indices are constructed
and maintained at an individual market level. MSCI undertakes an index construction process for the MSCI Global Investable Market Indexes,
which involves:
| · | defining
the equity universe; |
| · | determining
the market investable equity universe for each market; |
| · | determining
market capitalization size-segments for each market; |
| · | applying
index continuity rules for the MSCI Standard Index; and |
| · | classifying
securities under the Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS®”). |
Defining the Equity Universe. The equity universe is defined
by:
| · | Identifying Eligible Equity Securities:
all listed equity securities, including Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) and certain income trusts listed in Canada
are eligible for inclusion in the equity universe. Limited partnerships, limited liability companies, and business trusts, which are listed
in the United States and are not structured to be taxed as limited partnerships, are likewise eligible for inclusion in the equity universe.
Conversely, mutual funds, ETFs, equity derivatives, and most investment trusts are not eligible for inclusion in the equity universe. |
| · | Classifying Eligible Securities
into the Appropriate Country: each company and its securities (i.e., share classes) are classified in only one country. Countries will
be classified as Developed Markets (“DM”), Emerging Markets (“EM”) or Frontier Markets (“FM”). |
Determining the Market Investable Equity Universes. A market
investable equity universe for a market is derived by identifying eligible listings for each security in the equity universe and applying
investability screens to individual companies and securities in the equity universe that are classified in that market. A market is equivalent
to a single country, except in DM Europe, where all DM countries in Europe are aggregated into a single market for index construction
purposes. Subsequently, individual DM Europe country indices within the MSCI Europe Index are derived from the constituents of the MSCI
Europe Index under the Global Investable Market Indexes methodology.
In identifying eligible listings, a security may have a listing in the
country where it is classified (i.e. “local listing”) and/or in a different country (i.e. “foreign listing”).
Securities may be represented by either a local listing or a foreign listing (including a depositary receipt) in the equity universe.
A security may be represented by a foreign listing only if the following conditions are met:
Capped Leveraged Index Return Notes® | TS-8 |
Capped
Leveraged Index Return Notes®
Linked to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, due July 31,
2026 |
|
| · | The security is classified in a country that meets the Foreign
Listing Materiality Requirement, and |
| · | The security’s foreign listing
is traded on an eligible stock exchange of: (a) a DM country if the security is classified in a DM country; (b) a DM or an EM
country if the security is classified in an EM country; or (c) a DM, EM or FM country if the security is classified in an FM country. |
The investability screens used to determine the investable equity universe
in each market are as follows:
| · | Equity Universe Minimum Size Requirement: this
investability screen is applied at the company level. In order to be included in a market investable equity universe, a company must have
the required minimum full market capitalization. |
| · | Equity Universe Minimum Free Float-Adjusted Market
Capitalization Requirement: this investability screen is applied at the individual security level. To be eligible for inclusion in a market
investable equity universe, a security must have a free float-adjusted market capitalization equal to or higher than 50% of the equity
universe minimum size requirement. |
| · | DM and EM Minimum Liquidity Requirement: this
investability screen is applied at the individual security level. To be eligible for inclusion in a market investable equity universe,
a security must have adequate liquidity. The twelve-month and three-month Annual Traded Value Ratio, a measure that screens out extreme
daily trading volumes and takes into account the free float-adjusted market capitalization of securities, together with the three-month
frequency of trading are used to measure liquidity. Only one listing per security may be included in the market investable equity universe.
In instances when a security has two or more eligible listings that meet the above liquidity requirements, then the following priority
rules are used to determine which listing will be used for potential inclusion of the security in the market investable equity universe:
(i) local listing; (ii) foreign listing in the same geographical region; and (iii) foreign listing in a different geographical
region. |
| · | Global Minimum Foreign Inclusion Factor Requirement: this investability screen
is applied at the individual security level. To be eligible for inclusion in a market investable equity universe, a security’s Foreign
Inclusion Factor (“FIF”) must reach a certain threshold. The FIF of a security is defined as the proportion of shares outstanding
that is available for purchase in the public equity markets by international investors. This proportion accounts for the available free
float of and/or the foreign ownership limits applicable to a specific security (or company). In general, a security must have an FIF equal
to or larger than 0.15 to be eligible for inclusion in a market investable equity universe. |
| · | Minimum Length of Trading Requirement: this investability
screen is applied at the individual security level. For an IPO to be eligible for inclusion in a market investable equity universe, the
new issue must have started trading at least three months before the implementation of a semi-annual index review. This requirement is
applicable to small new issues in all markets. Large IPOs are not subject to the minimum length of trading requirement and may be included
in a market investable equity universe and the MSCI Standard Index outside of a quarterly or semi-annual index review (as described below). |
| · | Minimum Foreign Room Requirement: this investability
screen is applied at the individual security level. For a security that is subject to a Foreign Ownership Limit to be eligible for inclusion
in a market investable equity universe, the proportion of shares still available to foreign investors relative to the maximum allowed
(referred to as “foreign room”) must be at least 15%. |
| · | Financial Reporting Requirement: for any companies
classified as belonging to the United States, the company must file a Form 10-K/10-Q to be eligible for inclusion in the USA investable
equity universe. |
Defining Market Capitalization Size Segments for Each Market.
Once a market investable equity universe is defined, it is segmented into the following size-based indices, with the following free float-adjusted
market capitalization market coverage target ranges:
| · | Investable Market Index (Large + Mid + Small): 99%+1% or -0.5% |
| · | Standard Index (Large + Mid): 85% ± 5% |
| · | Large Cap Index: 70% ± 5% |
| · | Mid Cap Index: The Mid Cap Index market coverage in each market is derived
as the difference between the market coverage of the Standard Index and the Large Cap Index in that market. |
| · | Small Cap Index: The Small Cap Index market coverage in each market is derived
as the difference between the free float-adjusted market capitalization coverage of the Investable Market Index and the Standard Index
in that market. |
Index Continuity Rules for the Standard Indices. In
order to achieve index continuity, as well as to provide some basic level of diversification within a market index, and notwithstanding
the effect of other index construction rules described in this section, a minimum number of five constituents will be maintained
for a DM Standard Index and a minimum number of three constituents will be maintained for an EM Standard Index.
Classifying Securities under the GICS®. All
securities in the global investable equity universe are assigned to the industry that best describes their business activities. To this
end, MSCI has designed, in conjunction with Standard & Poor’s, the GICS®. Under the GICS®,
each company is assigned to one sub-industry according to its principal business activity. Therefore, a company can belong to only one
industry grouping at each of the four levels of the GICS®.

Index Maintenance
The MSCI Global Investable Market Indexes are maintained with the objective
of reflecting the evolution of the underlying equity markets and segments on a timely basis, while seeking to achieve index continuity,
continuous investability of constituents and replicability of the indices, index stability and low index turnover. In particular, index
maintenance involves:
(i) Semi-Annual Index Reviews (“SAIRs”) in May and
November of the Size Segment and Global Value and Growth Indices which include:
| · | Updating the indices on the basis of a fully refreshed equity universe; |
| · | Taking buffer rules into consideration for migration of securities across
size and style segments; and |
| · | Updating FIFs and number of shares (“NOS”). |
(ii) Quarterly Index Reviews in February and August of
the Size Segment Indices aimed at:
| · | Including significant new eligible securities (such as IPOs that were not
eligible for earlier inclusion) in the index; |
| · | Allowing for significant moves of companies within the Size Segment Indices,
using wider buffers than in the SAIR; and |
| · | Reflecting the impact of significant market events on FIFs and updating NOS. |
(iii) Ongoing Event-Related Changes: changes of this type are generally
implemented in the indices as they occur. Significantly large IPOs are included in the indices after the close of the company’s
tenth day of trading.
Index Calculation
The MSCI Indices are calculated using the Laspeyres formula. As a general
principle, today’s index level is obtained by applying the change in the market performance to the previous period index level.

Supplement to the Plan of Distribution
Under our distribution agreement with BofAS, BofAS will purchase the
notes from us as principal at the public offering price indicated on the cover of this term sheet, less the indicated underwriting discount.
MLPF&S will in turn purchase the notes from BofAS for resale, and it will receive a selling concession in connection with the sale
of the notes in an amount up to the full amount of the underwriting discount set forth on the cover of this term sheet.
We will pay a fee to a broker dealer in which an affiliate of BofAS has
an ownership interest for providing certain services with respect to this offering, which will reduce the economic terms of the notes
to you.
We will deliver the notes against payment therefor in New York, New York
on a date that is greater than one business day following the pricing date. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree
otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes more than one business day prior to the original issue date will be required
to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. In the original
offering of the notes, the notes will be sold in minimum investment amounts of 100 units. If you place an order to purchase the notes,
you are consenting to MLPF&S and/or one of its affiliates acting as a principal in effecting the transaction for your account.
MLPF&S and BofAS may repurchase and resell the notes, with repurchases
and resales being made at prices related to then-prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, and these prices will include MLPF&S’s
and BofAS’s trading commissions and mark-ups or mark-downs. MLPF&S and BofAS may act as principal or agent in these market-making
transactions; however, neither is obligated to engage in any such transactions. At their discretion, for a short, undetermined initial
period after the issuance of the notes, MLPF&S and BofAS may offer to buy the notes in the secondary market at a price that may exceed
the initial estimated value of the notes. Any price offered by MLPF&S or BofAS for the notes will be based on then-prevailing market
conditions and other considerations, including the performance of the Index and the remaining term of the notes. However, none of us,
MLPF&S, BofAS or any of our respective affiliates is obligated to purchase your notes at any price or at any time, and we cannot assure
you that we, MLPF&S, BofAS or any of our respective affiliates will purchase your notes at a price that equals or exceeds the initial
estimated value of the notes.
The value of the notes shown on your account statement will be based
on BofAS’s estimate of the value of the notes if BofAS or another of its affiliates were to make a market in the notes, which it
is not obligated to do. That estimate will be based upon the price that BofAS may pay for the notes in light of then-prevailing market
conditions, and other considerations, as mentioned above, and will include transaction costs. At certain times, this price may be higher
than or lower than the initial estimated value of the notes.
The distribution of the Note Prospectus in connection with these offers
or sales will be solely for the purpose of providing investors with the description of the terms of the notes that was made available
to investors in connection with their initial offering. Secondary market investors should not, and will not be authorized to, rely on
the Note Prospectus for information regarding CIBC or for any purpose other than that described in the immediately preceding sentence.
Structuring the Notes
The notes are our debt securities, the return on which is linked to the
performance of the Index. As is the case for all of our debt securities, including our market-linked notes, the economic terms of the
notes reflect our actual or perceived creditworthiness at the time of pricing. The internal funding rate we use in pricing the market-linked
notes is typically lower than the rate we would pay when we issue conventional fixed-rate debt securities of comparable maturity. This
difference 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. This generally relatively
lower internal funding rate, which is reflected in the economic terms of the notes, along with the fees and charges associated with market-linked
notes, resulted in the initial estimated value of the notes on the pricing date being less than their public offering price.
At maturity, we are required to pay the Redemption Amount to holders
of the notes, which will be calculated based on the performance of the Index and the $10 per unit principal amount. In order to meet these
payment obligations, at the time we issue the notes, we may choose to enter into certain hedging arrangements (which may include call
options, put options or other derivatives) with BofAS or one of its affiliates. The terms of these hedging arrangements are determined
by seeking bids from market participants, including BofAS and its affiliates, and take into account a number of factors, including our
creditworthiness, interest rate movements, the volatility of the Index, the tenor of the notes and the tenor of the hedging arrangements.
The economic terms of the notes and their initial estimated value depend in part on the terms of these hedging arrangements.
BofAS has advised us that the hedging arrangements will include a hedging-related
charge of approximately $0.075 per unit, reflecting an estimated profit to be credited to BofAS from these transactions. Since hedging
entails risk and may be influenced by unpredictable market forces, additional profits and losses from these hedging arrangements may be
realized by BofAS or any third party hedge providers.

Market-related Risks” beginning on page PS-8 of product supplement EQUITY LIRN-1 and “Use of Proceeds” on page S-14

Summary of 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 term sheet 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 CIBC 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; (e) is not a, and deals at arm’s length with any, “specified shareholder” of CIBC
for purposes of the thin capitalization rules in the Canadian Tax Act; and (f) is not an entity in respect of which CIBC or
any transferee resident (or deemed to be resident) in Canada to whom the purchaser disposes of, loans or otherwise transfers the note
is a “specified entity”, and is not a “specified entity” in respect of such a transferee, in each case, for purposes
of the Hybrid Mismatch Rules, as defined below (a “Non-Resident Holder”). Special rules which apply to non-resident insurers
carrying on business in Canada and elsewhere are not discussed in this summary.
This summary assumes that no amount paid or payable to a holder described
herein will be the deduction component of a “hybrid mismatch arrangement” under which the payment arises within the meaning
of the rules in the Canadian Tax Act with respect to “hybrid mismatch arrangements” (the “Hybrid Mismatch Rules”).
Investors should note that the Hybrid Mismatch Rules are highly complex and there remains significant uncertainty as to their interpretation
and application.
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 CIBC
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 the notes to a person with whom they are not dealing at arm’s length for purposes of the
Canadian Tax Act.

Summary of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
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, or in some cases supplements, the discussion entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary” in product supplement EQUITY LIRN-1,
which you should carefully review prior to investing in the notes.
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, redemption
or payment on maturity in an amount equal to the difference between the amount you receive at such time and the amount that you paid for
your notes. Such gain or loss should generally be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held your notes for more than one year. Non-U.S.
holders should consult the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary – Non-U.S. Holders” in product supplement
EQUITY LIRN-1.
The expected characterization of the notes is not binding on the U.S.
Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or the courts. Thus, it is possible that the IRS would seek to characterize your notes
in a manner that results in tax consequences to you that are different from those described above or in the accompanying product 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
your notes and certain other considerations with respect to your investment in the notes, you should consider the discussion set forth
in “U.S. Federal Income Tax Summary” of the product 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.
With respect to the discussion
in the product supplement regarding “dividend equivalent” payments, the IRS has issued a notice that provides that withholding
on dividend equivalent payments will not apply to specified ELIs that are not delta-one instruments and that are issued before January 1,
2027.
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.
Validity of the Notes
In the opinion of Blake, Cassels &
Graydon LLP, as Canadian counsel to CIBC, the issue and sale of the notes has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of
CIBC in conformity with the indenture, and when the notes have been duly executed, authenticated and issued in accordance with the indenture,
the notes will be validly issued and, to the extent validity of the notes is a matter governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario
or the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, will be valid obligations of CIBC, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and
other laws of general application affecting creditors’ rights, equitable principles, and subject to limitations as to the currency
in which judgments in Canada may be rendered, as prescribed by the Currency Act (Canada). This opinion is given as of the date
hereof and is limited to the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. In addition, this opinion
is subject to customary assumptions about the Trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery of the indenture and the genuineness
of signature, and to such counsel’s reliance on CIBC and other sources as to certain factual matters, all as stated in the opinion
letter of such counsel dated June 6, 2023, which has been filed as Exhibit 5.2 to CIBC’s Registration Statement on Form F-3
filed with the SEC on June 6, 2023.
In the opinion of Mayer Brown LLP,
when the notes have been duly completed in accordance with the indenture and issued and sold as contemplated by this term sheet and the
accompanying product supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus, the notes will constitute valid and binding obligations of CIBC,
entitled to the benefits of the indenture, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar
laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles. This opinion is given
as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the State of New York. This opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the
Trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery of the indenture and such counsel’s reliance on CIBC and other sources as
to certain factual matters, all as stated in the legal opinion dated June 6, 2023, which has been filed as Exhibit 5.1 to CIBC’s
Registration Statement on Form F-3 filed with the SEC on June 6, 2023.
