U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
10(b)(1)(v).  Description of the action or claim:
CIBC Mellon Trust Company ("CMTC") submitted a Consent to Entry of Judgment (the "Consent") which was presented by the SEC in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia (the "Court") on February 16, 2005. In the Consent, and solely for the purpose of the injunctive action and any other proceedings arising out of the SEC's investigation brought by or on behalf of the SEC or to which the SEC is a party, CMTC consented to the entry of Final Judgment as to Defendant CMTC (the "Final Judgment") without admitting or denying the matters set forth therein (other than those relating to the jurisdiction of the Court and the subject matter of the action). The Final Judgment, entered on February 24, 2005, resolved the allegations that CMTC had failed to register as a transfer agent with the SEC, that it had issued "legend free" stock certificates of a company whose shares were not registered with the SEC, that one of its managers had accepted payments of stock from that company's officers to issue the certificates, and that it had acted as an unregistered broker or dealer in connection with its stock plan administration business. CMTC was permanently enjoined from prescribed violations of Securities Act Section 5, Exchange Act Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5, Exchange Act Section 15(a), Exchange Act Section 17A(c)(1), and from aiding and abetting future violations of Exchange Act Section 10(b) or Rule 10b-5. CMTC also agreed to pay a civil monetary penalty of $5 million and disgorgement of $889,773 and prejudgment interest of $140,270. Payment was made on March 4, 2005. CMTC also consented, without admitting or denying the SEC complaint's allegations, to the entry of an SEC administrative order based on the Final Judgment on March 2, 2005 (the "Order"). Pursuant to the Order, CMTC was censured and agreed to an undertaking to engage an independent consultant to review its relevant businesses and procedures. This matter responds to items 10B(1) and 10C(2).

10(b)(1)(iv).  The Court or body taking the Action and location:
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
10(b)(1)(v).  Description of the action or claim:
On December 22, 2003 the SEC filed a Complaint with the US District Court for the Southern District of Texas alleging that CIBC aided and abetted violations of the federal securities laws related to certain structured finance transactions between CIBC and the Enron Corporation including Enron's manipulation of its reported financial results through a series of financial transactions that were improperly reported by Enron as asset sales; that CIBC knew or was reckless in not knowing that loans were structured as asset sales for accounting and financial reporting purposes and therefore CIBC knowingly and substantially assisted Enron to file with the SEC false and misleading reports and failed to make and keep accurate books, records and accounts. Without admitting or denying any wrongdoing CIBC consented to the entry of a Final Judgment permanently enjoining CIBC from violation of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule l0b-5 there under, Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1 and 13a-13 there under, Section 13(b)(2) of the Exchange Act, Rule 13b2-1, and Section 13(b)(5) of the Exchange Act. This Final Judgment was also filed on December 22, 2003. On the same day CIBC deposited with the Court $80,000,000 in disgorgement, interest and a civil penalty. In addition to these sanctions CIBC also agreed that it will not seek any benefit from any offset or reduction of any investor's claim, and that it shall not seek reimbursement or indemnification, nor any tax deduction or credit for any of the amount paid. The SEC has agreed to not institute any proceedings against CIBC, its subsidiaries or affiliates pursuant to Sections 15(b), 15B, 15C, or 19(h) of the Exchange Act.

10(c)(2)(v).  Description of the action or claim:
On July 20, 2005 Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce ("CIBC") and The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") announced a joint settlement (the "Settlement") of certain of CIBC's U.S. subsidiaries with the SEC and the Attorney General for the State of New York ("NYAG") of proceedings in relation to the activities of the subsidiaries in respect of certain alleged mutual fund market timing practices. The CIBC subsidiaries to which the Settlement relates are CIBC World Markets Corp. ("World Markets"), Canadian Imperial Holdings Inc. ("CIHI"), CIBC Bank and Trust (Cayman) Limited, Rudy Capital USA LLC and Hudson River Investments LLC (the "Other Parties"). On July 20, 2005, the SEC issued an Order Instituting Administrative and Cease-and-Desist Proceeding, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease-and-Desist Order Pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), Sections 15(b) and 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), Section 203(e) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and Sections 9(b) and 9(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Investment Company Act") (the "SEC Order"). Under the SEC Order: (a) Without CIHI admitting or denying such findings, the SEC found that as a result of World Markets' registered representatives' facilitation of market timing and related financial transactions in which CIHI participated, CIHI wilfully violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, Sections 7(d) and 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, Rule 22c-1, as adopted under Section 22(c) of the Investment Company Act and Regulation U promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board. (b) Without World Markets admitting or denying such findings, the SEC found that as a result of World Markets' registered representatives' facilitation of market timing and related financial transactions, World Markets wilfully violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, Sections 7(c), 10(b), 11(d), 15(c) and 17(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 10b-3, 10b-5 and 17a-3 thereunder, Rule 22c-1, as adopted under Section 22(c) of the Investment Company Act and Regulation T promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board. (c) World Markets and CIHI agree to pay disgorgement and prejudgement interest in the amount of $100 million and a civil money penalty of $25 million (all numbers in U.S. dollars), and to retain an independent distribution consultant to develop a plan for the distribution of the $125 million to investors. (d) CIHI agrees to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, Sections 7(d) and 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, Rule 22c-1 as adopted under Section 22(c) of the Investment Company Act and Regulation U promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board regarding the extension of margin credit. (e) World Markets agrees to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, Sections 7(c), 10(b), 11(d), 15(c) and 17(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 10b-3, 10b-5 and 17a-3 thereunder, Rule 22c-1 as adopted under Section 22(c) of the Investment Company Act and Regulation T promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board regarding the extension of margin credit. The settlement with the NYAG (the "NYAG Settlement") is effected under an Assurance of Discontinuance under which the NYAG will agree not to pursue an action against CIHI, World Markets and the Other Parties. The NYAG Settlement requires CIHI, World Markets and the Other Parties to make payment of the $125 million arising under the SEC Order.

10(c)(2)(v).  Description of the action or claim:
The SEC alleged that from at least January 1, 2003 through June 30, 2004, in connection with certain auctions, the Bank of New York Mellon (formerly, The Bank of New York, "BNY") accepted initial or revised bids after submission deadlines and allowed broker-dealers to intervene in auctions. In certain instances, this conduct also affected the rate paid on the auction rate securities. As a result, BNY caused violations of section 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act. BNY was required to make certain disclosures regarding its material auction practices and procedures; and not later than 6 months after the date of this order, unless otherwise extended by the Staff of the Commission for good cause shown, have its CEO or general counsel certify in writing to the Staff of the Commission that BNY has implemented procedures. In addition BNY paid a monetary settlement in the amount of $750,000.

The SEC alleged that the Bank of New York Mellon(formerly, The Bank of New York, "BNY") failed as a transfer agent to exercise reasonable care to ascertain the correct addresses of lost security holders and escheated assets belonging to those security holders to various states. As a result BNY entered into agreement to offer payment to certain security holders for property escheated erroneously (while reserving the right to pursue their claim for repayment with the State to which the property was escheated). In addition BNY paid a penalty of $250,000 and agreed to the retention of an independent consultant to review and evaluate certain of the Bank's policies and procedures.

The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly, The Bank of New York, the "Bank"), an affiliate of the registrant, entered into a non-prosecution agreement with the U.S. Attorneys offices for the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York ("EDNY" and "SDNY"). The respective EDNY and SDNY investigations related to actions by Bank employees that facilitated a fraudulent scheme conducted by RW Professional Leasing Services Corp., a former customer of one of the Bank's Long Island branch offices, and certain funds transfer activities to and from Russia from 1996 to 1999. Among other things, the non-prosecution agreement outlines a series of measures, many of which already are completed and others that are well underway, to enhance the Bank's procedures for monitoring and reporting suspicious activity. The Bank has agreed to pay restitution and forfeiture totalling $38 million, all of which has been previously reserved. The agreement, which has a term of three years, provides for the Bank to retain an independent examiner to review the enhanced procedures and report to the government on a periodic basis.

Specifically, the reports failed to adequately disclose that (i) CIBC World Markets had assumed an underwriting liability to Shoppers in the 12 months prior to the reports; (ii) CIBC World Markets, along with its affiliate, owned 7,450,000 shares of Shoppers; and (iii) Shoppers was indebted to CIBC (CIBC World Markets' parent corporation).

Market Regulation Services Inc. ("RS") alleged that in 2002, a group of related clients with accounts at CIBC World Markets Inc. ("CIBC WM") engaged in suspicious trading in certain stocks and warrants listed on the TSX and the TSX Venture Exchanges, which had the appearance of manipulative and deceptive trading. The trading was carried out through numerous accounts held by the client group, including retail accounts and individual RRSP accounts and Direct Market Access trading accounts at CIBC Investor Services Inc. ("CIBC ISI"), CIBC WM and another unrelated investment dealer. It was alleged that CIBC WM did not fulfill its trading supervision obligations in relation to the client. On December 21, 2004, RS approved a settlement agreement with CIBC WM pursuant to which CIBC WM admitted that: CIBC WM failed to comply with its trading supervision obligations, contrary to Section 2-401(5) of the Rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange; and, in the period of April to December 2002, CIBC WM failed to comply with its trading supervision obligations, contrary to Universal Market Integrity Rule 7.1 (1) and Policy 7.1. As part of the Settlement Agreement CIBC WM was required to pay to RS a fine of $700,000 and $92,500 towards RS' investigation costs. CIBC WM also agreed to implement specified measures, by June 30, 2005, to ensure compliance with its obligations going forward.
