Reference Index

MerQube Euro Zone Large Cap Banks 20 AR Index. The Reference Index is an adjusted return index that aims to track the gross total return performance of the MerQube Euro Zone Large Cap Banks 20 Total Return Index (the "Target Index"), subject to a reduction of a synthetic dividend of 140 index points per annum calculated daily in arrears on a 360 day basis at the time the Reference Index is calculated (the "Adjusted Return Factor").

Call Feature

The Notes will be automatically called by CIBC on a Call Date if the Reference Index Return on the applicable Valuation Date is greater than or equal to 0.00%. If the Notes are called by CIBC on any of the Call Dates, Investors will receive a minimum Fixed Return plus 4.00% of the amount, if any, by which the Reference Index Return exceeds such Fixed Return.

Fixed Return

The "Fixed Returns" are as follows:

Valuation Date	Fixed Return
July 29, 2025	6.25%
January 30, 2026	12.50%
July 29, 2026	18.75%
February 1, 2027	25.00%
July 29, 2027	31.25%
January 31, 2028	37.50%
July 31, 2028	43.75%
January 30, 2029	50.00%
July 30, 2029	56.25%
January 30, 2030	62.50%
July 29, 2030	68.75%
January 30, 2031	75.00%
July 29, 2031	81.25%
January 30, 2032	87.50%

Potential Upside

If the Notes are not automatically called by CIBC and if the Reference Index Return at maturity is greater than or equal to 0.00%, Investors will receive a minimum return of 87.50% (annual compounded return of 9.40%), and will also receive 4.00% of the amount, if any, by which the Reference Index Return exceeds 87.50%.

Contingent Principal Protection

If the Notes are not automatically called by CIBC and if the Reference Index Return at maturity is negative, the Notes provide principal protection at maturity if the Reference Index Return is greater than or equal to -45.00% on the final Valuation Date. If, however, the Reference Index Return is less than -45.00% on the final Valuation Date, Investors will receive less than the Principal Amount at maturity, subject to a minimum payment of $1.00 per Note.

The performance of the Reference Index reflects the gross total return performance of the Target Index as reduced by the Adjusted Return Factor. Investors will not have any right to receive any dividends or other distributions on any securities included in the Target Index. The annual dividend yield of the securities included in the Target Index was 6.26% for the 12 months ended January 17, 2025, which would represent aggregate dividends of 43.82% over the seven year term of the Notes, assuming the dividend yield remains consistent and the dividends are not reinvested.

Hypothetical Examples

The following hypothetical examples show how the Maturity Amount would be calculated under six different scenarios. The Reference Index Return will be calculated based on the performance of the Reference Index, which reflects the gross total return performance of the Target Index as reduced by the Adjusted Return Factor. These examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as an estimate or forecast of the performance of the Reference Index at any time during the term of the Notes or the Variable Return to be determined on any Valuation Date. The actual performance of the Reference Index will be different from these hypothetical examples and the differences may be material.

Example 1 – Notes are not called and the Reference Index Return is less than -45.00% on the final Valuation Date

In this example, the Notes are not automatically called by CIBC and Investors are entitled to receive a Maturity Amount of $45.00 per Note (annual compounded return of -10.78%) on the Maturity Payment Date. The Reference Index Return is less than -45.00% on the final Valuation Date; therefore, the Variable Return is equal to the negative Reference Index Return.

Reference Index Return

July 2025	January 2026	July 2026	February 2027	July 2027	January 2028	July 2028
-2.00%	-4.00%	-6.00%	-8.00%	-10.00%	-12.00%	-14.00%
January 2029	July 2029	January 2030	July 2030	January 2031	July 2031	January 2032
-16.00%	-18.00%	-20.00%	-22.00%	-24.00%	-26.00%	-55.00%
Variable Return:		-55.00%
Maturity Amount:		$45.00

Example 2 – Notes are not called and the Reference Index Return is less than 0.00% and greater than or equal to -45.00% on the final Valuation Date

In this example, the Notes are not automatically called by CIBC and Investors are entitled to receive a Maturity Amount of $100.00 per Note (annual compounded return of 0.00%) on the Maturity Payment Date. The Reference Index Return is less than 0.00% and greater than or equal to -45.00% on the final Valuation Date; therefore, the Variable Return is 0.00%.

Reference Index Return

July 2025	January 2026	July 2026	February 2027	July 2027	January 2028	July 2028
-2.00%	-4.00%	-6.00%	-8.00%	-10.00%	-12.00%	-14.00%

Example 3 – Notes are called in February 2027 and the Reference Index Return is less than or equal to the Fixed Return of 25.00% and greater than or equal to 0.00%

In this example, the Notes are automatically called by CIBC and Investors are entitled to receive a Maturity Amount of $125.00 per Note (annual compounded return of 11.80%) on the Call Date in February 2027. Since the Reference Index Return is less than or equal to the Fixed Return of 25.00% and greater than or equal to 0.00%, the Variable Return is equal to 25.00%.

Reference Index Return

July 2025	January 2026	July 2026	February 2027	July 2027	January 2028	July 2028

Maturity Amount: $125.00

Example 4 – Notes are called in August 2025 and the Reference Index Return of 16.25% is greater than the Fixed Return of 6.25%

In this example, the Notes are automatically called by CIBC and Investors are entitled to receive a Maturity Amount of $106.65 per Note (annual compounded return of 13.74%) on the Call Date in August 2025. Since the Reference Index Return is greater than the Fixed Return of 6.25%, the Variable Return is equal to (i) 6.25%, plus (ii) 4.00% x (16.25% - 6.25%), or 6.65%.

Reference Index Return

Example 5 – Notes mature in February 2032 and the Reference Index Return is less than or equal to the Fixed Return of 87.50% and greater than or equal to 0.00%

In this example, Investors are entitled to receive a Maturity Amount of $187.50 per Note (annual compounded return of 9.40%) on the Maturity Payment Date. Since the Reference Index Return is less than or equal to the Fixed Return of 87.50% and greater than or equal to 0.00%, the Variable Return is equal to 87.50%.

Reference Index Return

July 2025	January 2026	July 2026	February 2027	July 2027	January 2028	July 2028

Variable Return: 87.50%

Maturity Amount: $187.50

Example 6 – Notes mature in February 2032 and the Reference Index Return of 89.50% is greater than the Fixed Return of 87.50%

In this example, Investors are entitled to receive a Maturity Amount of $187.58 per Note (annual compounded return of 9.40%) on the Maturity Payment Date. Since the Reference Index Return is greater than the Fixed Return of 87.50%, the Variable Return is equal to (i) 87.50%, plus (ii) 4.00% x (89.50% - 87.50%), or 87.58%.

Reference Index Return

Reference Index

The MerQube Euro Zone Large Cap Banks 20 AR Index. The MerQube Euro Zone Large Cap Banks 20 AR Index is a decrement index (also known as an adjusted return index) that aims to track the gross total return performance of the MerQube Euro Zone Large Cap Banks 20 Total Return Index, subject to a reduction of a decrement (also known as a synthetic dividend) of 140 index points per annum calculated daily on a 360 day basis at the time the Reference Index is calculated. The Closing Level of the Reference Index on January 17, 2025 was 2,450.38. The Adjusted Return Factor divided by the level of the Reference Index was therefore equal to 5.71% on January 17, 2025. Over the term of the Notes, the sum of the Adjusted Return Factor of 140 points per annum will be approximately 980 index points, representing 39.99% of the level of the Reference Index on January 17, 2025. The Target Index is a gross total return index that reflects the applicable price changes of its constituent securities and any dividends and distributions declared in respect of such securities. For the calculation of the level of the Target Index, any dividends or other distributions declared on the constituent securities of the Target Index are assumed to be reinvested across all the constituent securities of the Target Index. There is no assurance of the ability of issuers of the securities comprising the Target Index to declare dividends or make distributions in respect of the constituent securities of the Target Index or to sustain or increase such dividends and distributions at or above historical levels.

Issue Date

February 6, 2025

Maturity Date / Term

February 6, 2032 (7 years), provided that if such date is not a Business Day then the Maturity Date will be the immediately following Business Day, subject to the Notes being automatically called by CIBC on any Call Date and subject to the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event.

January 30, 2031	February 6, 2031
July 29, 2031	August 6, 2031
January 30, 2032	-

Provided that (i) if the Issue Date is postponed, each Call Date will be postponed by an equivalent number of days, and provided further that if any such Call Date is not both a Business Day and at least five Business Days following the applicable Valuation Date, the applicable Call Date will be postponed until the next Business Day that is at least five Business Days following the immediately preceding Valuation Date, in each case subject to the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event; and (ii) if any such Valuation Date is not an Exchange Day, then the applicable Valuation Date will be the immediately preceding Exchange Day, subject to the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event.

Call Feature

The Notes will be automatically called by CIBC on a Call Date if the Reference Index Return on the applicable Valuation Date is greater than or equal to 0.00%. If the Notes are called by CIBC on any of the Call Dates, Investors will receive a minimum Fixed Return plus 4.00% of the amount, if any, by which the Reference Index Return exceeds such Fixed Return.

Reference Index Return

The Reference Index Return will be a number (positive or negative), expressed as a percentage, determined as follows: (Index LevelVD – Index LevelID) / Index LevelID

where:

• the "Index LevelVD" will be the Closing Level on the applicable Valuation Date; and
• the "Index LevelID" will be the Closing Level on the Issue Date, provided that if the Issue Date is not an Exchange Day, the Index LevelID shall be determined on the next following Exchange Day (in which case references to the Closing Level on the Issue Date shall be deemed to refer to the Closing Level on such next following Exchange Day),

subject in each case to the provisions set out under "Market Disruption Events, Adjustments and Substitutions and Extraordinary Events" in the Prospectus.

Maturity Amount

Investors will be entitled to receive on the later of (a) the fifth Business Day following the final Valuation Date and (b) the Maturity Date (the "Maturity Payment Date") (or on a Call Date, if the Notes are automatically called by CIBC prior to the Maturity Date) in respect of each Note held by such Investor, an amount (the "Maturity Amount") equal to the product of:

i) $100.00; and
ii) 100.00% plus the Variable Return,

subject to a minimum Maturity Amount of $1.00 per Note.

Variable Return

Positive Variable Return

If the Notes are called by CIBC on any of the Call Dates or the Reference Index Return is greater than or equal to 0.00% on the final Valuation Date preceding the Maturity Date in 2032, the "Variable Return" will be calculated as follows:

a) where the Reference Index Return is less than or equal to the applicable Fixed Return, the Variable Return will be equal to such Fixed Return; or
b) where the Reference Index Return is greater than the applicable Fixed Return, the Variable Return will be equal to such Fixed Return, plus 4.00% of the amount by which the Reference Index Return exceeds such Fixed Return.

If the Notes are called by CIBC, Investors will not be entitled to receive any further return that they would have otherwise been entitled to receive if the Notes had not been called by CIBC.

Zero or Negative Variable Return

If the Notes are not called by CIBC and the Reference Index Return is less than 0.00% on the final Valuation Date preceding the Maturity Date in 2032, the Variable Return at maturity will be calculated as follows:

a) where the Reference Index Return is greater than or equal to -45.00% on the final Valuation Date, the Variable Return will be equal to 0.00%; or
b) where the Reference Index Return is less than -45.00% on the final Valuation Date, the Variable Return will be equal to the Reference Index Return (which will be negative and result in a loss of a portion of the Principal Amount at maturity in these circumstances).

Variable Returns Payable

The following table shows the Variable Return payable to an Investor on a Call Date or on the Maturity Payment Date, depending on the Reference Index Return as determined on the applicable Valuation Date:

Secondary Market and Early Trading Amount

The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange or quotation system. CIBC World Markets Inc. ("CIBC WM") intends to provide a daily secondary market for the sale of Notes to CIBC WM, but reserves the right not to do so, in its sole discretion, at any time without any prior notice to Investors. Under no circumstances will CIBC WM provide a secondary market for the Notes on or following a Valuation Date for the Notes if the Notes will be called by CIBC on the applicable Call Date. No other secondary market for the Notes will be available. Any sale in the secondary market may be made at a price less than the Principal Amount and will reflect the deduction of an early trading amount of 4.68% per Note initially, declining daily by 0.052% to 0.00% after 90 days. A sale of Notes originally purchased using the Fundserv network will be subject to certain additional procedures and limitations established by the Fundserv network.

An Investor who disposes of a Note to CIBC WM in the secondary market will generally be required to include in income as interest the amount, if any, by which the sale price exceeds the Principal Amount of such Note. Investors who dispose of a Note prior to maturity should consult their own tax advisors. See "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations" in the Pricing Supplement.

None of CIBC, the Dealers or any of their respective affiliates, associates, or any other person or entity guarantees that holders of Notes will receive an amount equal to their original investment in the Notes or guarantees that any return will be paid on the Notes (subject to the minimum Maturity Amount of $1.00 per Note) at or prior to maturity of the Notes. Amounts paid to holders of the Notes will depend on the performance of the Reference Index. An investment in Notes is not suitable for a purchaser who does not understand (either on his or her own or with the help of a financial advisor) the terms of the Notes or the risks associated with the Notes and with structured products, options or similar financial instruments generally. See "Risk Factors" in the Prospectus and "Certain Risk Factors" in the Pricing Supplement. Neither MerQube, Inc. nor any of its affiliates (collectively, "MerQube") is the issuer or producer of the Notes and MerQube has no duties, responsibilities, or obligations to investors in the Notes. The index underlying the Notes is a product of MerQube and has been licensed for use by CIBC. Such index is calculated using, among other things, market data or other information ("Input Data") from one or more sources (each a "Data Provider"). MerQube® is a registered trademark of MerQube, Inc. These trademarks have been licensed for certain purposes by CIBC in its capacity as the issuer of the Notes. The Notes are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by MerQube, any Data Provider, or any other third party, and none of such parties make any representation regarding the advisability of investing in such product(s) nor do they have any liability for any errors, omissions, or interruptions of the Input Data, the index underlying the Notes, or any associated data.

The Notes will not constitute deposits that are insured under the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act or any other deposit insurance regime designed to ensure the payment of all or a portion of a deposit upon the insolvency of the deposit taking institution.

The principal amount of the Notes will not be fully guaranteed and, subject to the minimum Maturity Amount of $1.00 per Note, will be at risk. As a result, Investors could lose substantially all of their original investment in the Notes.

CIBC WM intends to provide a secondary market for the sale of Notes to CIBC WM but reserves the right not to do so, in its sole discretion, at any time without any prior notice to holders of Notes. There is no other market through which the Notes may be sold and purchasers may not be able to re-sell Notes.

CIBC WM is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CIBC. By virtue of such ownership, CIBC is a "related issuer" and a "connected issuer" of CIBC WM within the meaning of applicable securities legislation. See "Plan of Distribution" in the Prospectus.
