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:

·          Depending on the performance of the Market Measure as measured shortly before the maturity date, you may lose up to 85.00% of the principal amount.

·          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.

·          Ownership of the notes will not entitle you to any rights with respect to any commodities or futures contracts represented by or included in the Market Measure.

·          The prices of commodities or futures contracts represented by or included in the Market Measure may change unpredictably, affecting the value of your notes in unforeseeable ways

·          The notes will not be regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

·          The Market Measure includes futures contracts traded on foreign exchanges, which may be less regulated than U.S. markets and may involve different and greater risks than trading on U.S. exchanges.

·          The Market Measure tracks commodity futures contracts and does not track the spot prices of the Index Commodities

·          Higher future prices of the components of the Market Measure relative to their current prices may have a negative effect on the level of the Market Measure, and therefore the value of 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.
