The securities are not appropriate for all investors. The securities may be an appropriate investment for investors who:

The securities may not be an appropriate investment for investors who:

The considerations identified above are not exhaustive. Whether or not the securities are an appropriate investment for you will depend on your individual circumstances, and you should reach an investment decision only after you and your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors have carefully considered the appropriateness of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances. You should also review carefully the “Selected Risk Considerations” herein and the “Risk Factors” in the accompanying underlying supplement for risks related to an investment in the securities.

Whether the securities are automatically called on the Call Observation Date will be determined based on the Closing Level of the Lowest Performing Index on the Call Observation Date as follows: 

If the securities have not been automatically called prior to maturity, then at maturity, you will receive a cash payment per security (the Maturity Payment Amount) calculated as follows:

PRS-7

The securities have complex features and investing in the securities will involve risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. Some of the risks that apply to an investment in the securities are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of the risks relating to the securities generally in the “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-1 of the accompanying underlying supplement, page S-1 of the prospectus supplement and page 1 of the prospectus. You should reach an investment decision only after you have carefully considered with your advisors the appropriateness of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances.

Risks Relating To The Structure Of The Securities

If The Securities Are Not Automatically Called Prior To Maturity And The Ending Level of the Lowest Performing Index On The Final Calculation Day Is Less Than Its Threshold Level, You Will Lose More Than 25%, And Possibly All, Of The Face Amount Of Your Securities At Maturity.

We will not repay you a fixed amount on the securities at maturity. If the securities are not automatically called, the Maturity Payment Amount will depend on the direction of and percentage change in the Ending Level of the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day relative to its Starting Level and the other terms of the securities. Because the level of each Index will be subject to market fluctuations, the Maturity Payment Amount may be more or less, and possibly significantly less, than the face amount of your securities.

If the securities are not automatically called and the Ending Level of the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day is less than its Threshold Level, the Maturity Payment Amount will be less than the face amount and you will have full downside exposure to the decrease in the level of the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day from its Starting Level. The Threshold Level of an Index is 75% of its Starting Level. For example, if the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day has declined by 25.1% from its Starting Level to its Ending Level, you will not receive any benefit of the contingent downside feature and you will lose 25.1% of the face amount. As a result, you will not receive any protection if the level of the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day declines below its Threshold Level and you will lose more than 25%, and possibly all, of the face amount at maturity. This is the case even if the level of the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day is greater than or equal to its Starting Level or its Threshold Level at certain times during the term of the securities.

Even if the securities are not automatically called and the Ending Level of the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day is greater than its Starting Level, the Maturity Payment Amount may only be slightly greater than the face amount, and your yield on the securities may be less than the yield you would earn if you bought a traditional interest-bearing debt security of CIBC or another issuer with a similar credit rating with the same Stated Maturity Date.

If The Securities Are Automatically Called, Your Return Will Be Limited to the Call Premium.

If the securities are automatically called, the positive return on the securities will be limited to the Call Premium, and you will not participate in any appreciation of any Index, which may be significant. Accordingly, if the securities are automatically called, the return on the securities may be less than the return in a direct investment in the Indices. If the securities are automatically called, you will no longer have the opportunity to participate in any appreciation of any Index at the Upside Participation Rate.

The Securities Are Subject To The Full Risks Of Each Index And Will Be Negatively Affected If Any Index Performs Poorly, Even If The Other Indices Perform Favorably.

You are subject to the full risks of each Index. If any Index performs poorly, you will be negatively affected, even if the other Indices perform favorably. The securities are not linked to a basket composed of the Indices, where the better performance of some Indices could offset the poor performance of others. Instead, you are subject to the full risks of whichever Index is the Lowest Performing Index on the Call Observation Date or the Final Calculation Day, as applicable. As a result, the securities are riskier than an alternative investment linked to only one of the Indices or linked to a basket composed of the Indices. You should not invest in the securities unless you understand and are willing to accept the full downside risks of each Index.

Your Return On The Securities Will Depend Solely On The Performance Of The Lowest Performing Index On Each Calculation Day, And You Will Not Benefit In Any Way From The Performance Of The Better Performing Indices.

Your return on the securities will depend solely on the performance of the Lowest Performing Index on the Call Observation Date or the Final Calculation Day, as applicable. Although it is necessary for each Index to close at or above its respective Starting Level on the Call Observation Date for you to receive the Call Premium and at or above its respective Threshold Level on the Final Calculation Day for you to receive at least the face amount of your securities at maturity, you will not benefit in any way from the performance of the

PRS-8

better performing Indices. The securities may underperform an alternative investment linked to a basket composed of the Indices, since in such case the performance of the better performing Indices would be blended with the performance of the Lowest Performing Index, resulting in a better return than the return of the Lowest Performing Index alone.

You Will Be Subject To Risks Resulting From The Relationship Among The Indices.

It is preferable from your perspective for the Indices to be correlated with each other so that their levels will tend to increase or decrease at similar times and by similar magnitudes. By investing in the securities, you assume the risk that the Indices will not exhibit this relationship. The less correlated the Indices, the more likely it is that any one of the Indices will be performing poorly at any time over the term of the securities. All that is necessary for the securities to perform poorly is for one of the Indices to perform poorly; the performance of the better performing Indices is not relevant to your return on the securities. It is impossible to predict what the relationship among the Indices will be over the term of the securities. To the extent the Indices represent different equity markets, such equity markets may not perform similarly over the term of the securities.

No Periodic Interest Will Be Paid On The Securities.

No periodic interest will be paid on the securities. However, if the securities were classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as contingent payment debt instruments rather than prepaid cash-settled derivative contracts, you would be required to accrue interest income over the term of your securities. See “Summary of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in this pricing supplement and “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the underlying supplement.

You Will Be Subject To Reinvestment Risk.

If your securities are automatically called, the term of the securities may be reduced to as short as approximately one year. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the securities at a comparable return for a similar level of risk in the event the securities are automatically called prior to maturity.

The Call Payment Date Or The Stated Maturity Date May Be Postponed If The Call Observation Date or The Final Calculation Day Is Postponed.

The Call Observation Date or the Final Calculation Day with respect to an Index will be postponed if the originally scheduled Call Observation Date or Final Calculation Day is not a Trading Day with respect to any Index or if the calculation agent determines that a Market Disruption Event has occurred or is continuing with respect to that Index on that day. If such a postponement occurs with respect to the Call Observation Date, then the Call Payment Date will be postponed. If such a postponement occurs with respect to the Final Calculation Day, the Stated Maturity Date will be the later of (i) the initial Stated Maturity Date and (ii) the third Business Day after the last Final Calculation Day, as postponed.

Risk Relating To The Credit Risk Of CIBC

The Securities Are Subject To The Credit Risk Of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.

The securities are our obligations exclusively and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any amounts payable under the securities are subject to our creditworthiness, and you will have no ability to pursue any securities included in any Index for payment. As a result, our actual and perceived creditworthiness and actual or anticipated decreases in our credit ratings may affect the value of the securities and, in the event we were to default on our obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the securities. See “Description of Senior Debt Securities—Events of Default” in the prospectus.

Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market

Our Estimated Value Of The Securities Will Be Lower Than The Original Offering Price Of The Securities.

Our estimated value is only an estimate using several factors. The original offering price of the securities will exceed our estimated value because costs associated with selling and structuring the securities, as well as hedging the securities, are included in the original offering price of the securities. See “The Estimated Value of the Securities” in this pricing supplement.

Our Estimated Value Does Not Represent Future Values Of The Securities And May Differ From Others’ Estimates.

Our estimated value of the securities is determined by reference to our internal pricing models when the terms of the securities are set. This estimated value is based on market conditions and other relevant factors existing at that time 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 securities that are greater than or less than our 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 value of the securities could change significantly based on, among other things, changes in market conditions, our creditworthiness, interest rate movements

PRS-9

and other relevant factors, which may impact the price, if any, at which Wells Fargo Securities or any other person would be willing to buy securities from you in secondary market transactions. See “The Estimated Value of the Securities” in this pricing supplement.

Our Estimated Value Is Not Determined By Reference To Credit Spreads For Our Conventional Fixed-Rate Debt.

The internal funding rate used in the determination of our estimated value generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. If we were to use the interest rate implied by our conventional fixed-rate credit spreads, we would expect the economic terms of the securities to be more favorable to you. Consequently, our use of an internal funding rate would have an adverse effect on the terms of the securities and any secondary market prices of the securities. See “The Estimated Value of the Securities” in this pricing supplement.

The Estimated Value Of The Securities Will Not Be An Indication Of The Price, If Any, At Which Wells Fargo Securities Or Any Other Person May Be Willing To Buy The Securities From You In The Secondary Market.

The price, if any, at which Wells Fargo Securities or any of its affiliates may purchase the securities in the secondary market will be based on Wells Fargo Securities’ proprietary pricing models and will fluctuate over the term of the securities as a result of changes in the market and other factors described in the next risk factor. Any such secondary market price for the securities will also be reduced by a bid-offer spread, which may vary depending on the aggregate face amount of the securities to be purchased in the secondary market transaction, and the expected cost of unwinding any related hedging transactions. Unless the factors described in the next risk factor change significantly in your favor, any such secondary market price for the securities will likely be less than the original offering price.

If Wells Fargo Securities or any of its affiliates makes a secondary market in the securities at any time up to the Issue Date or during the three-month period following the Issue Date, the secondary market price offered by Wells Fargo Securities or any of its affiliates will be increased by an amount reflecting a portion of the costs associated with selling, structuring, hedging and issuing the securities that are included in the original offering price. Because this portion of the costs is not fully deducted upon issuance, any secondary market price offered by Wells Fargo Securities or any of its affiliates during this period will be higher than it would be if it were based solely on Wells Fargo Securities’ proprietary pricing models less the bid-offer spread and hedging unwind costs described above. The amount of this increase in the secondary market price will decline steadily to zero over this three-month period. If you hold the securities through an account at Wells Fargo Securities or one of its affiliates, we expect that this increase will also be reflected in the value indicated for the securities on your brokerage account statement. If you hold your securities through an account at a broker-dealer other than Wells Fargo Securities or any of its affiliates, the value of the securities on your brokerage account statement may be different than if you held your securities at Wells Fargo Securities or any of its affiliates.

The Value Of The Securities Prior To Maturity Or Automatic Call Will Be Affected By Numerous Factors, Some Of Which Are Related In Complex Ways.

The value of the securities prior to maturity or automatic call will be affected by the then-current levels of the Indices, interest rates at that time and a number of other factors, some of which are interrelated in complex ways. The effect of any one factor may be offset or magnified by the effect of another factor. The following factors, among others, are expected to affect the value of the securities: performance of the Indices; volatility of the Indices; correlation among the Indices; economic and other conditions generally; interest rates; dividend yields on securities included in the Indices; our credit ratings or credit spreads; and time remaining to maturity. When we refer to the “value” of your security, we mean the value you could receive for your security if you are able to sell it in the open market before the Stated Maturity Date

You should understand that the impact of one of the factors specified above, such as a change in interest rates, may offset some or all of any change in the value of the securities attributable to another factor, such as a change in the level of an Index. Because numerous factors are expected to affect the value of the securities, changes in the levels of the Indices may not result in a comparable change in the value of the securities.

The Securities Will Not Be Listed On Any Securities Exchange And We Do Not Expect A Trading Market For The Securities To Develop.

The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Although Wells Fargo Securities and/or its affiliates may purchase the securities from holders, they are not obligated to do so and are not required to make a market for the securities. There can be no assurance that a secondary market will develop for the securities. Because we do not expect that any market makers will participate in a secondary market for the securities, the price at which you may be able to sell your securities is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which Wells Fargo Securities and/or its affiliates are willing to buy your securities.

If a secondary market does exist, it may be limited. Accordingly, there may be a limited number of buyers if you decide to sell your securities prior to maturity or automatic call. This may affect the price you receive upon such sale. Consequently, you should be willing to hold the securities to maturity or automatic call.

PRS-10

Risks Relating To The Indices

An Investment In The Securities Is Subject To Risks Associated With Investing In Stocks With A Small Market Capitalization.

The stocks that constitute the RTY are issued by companies with relatively small market capitalization. These companies often have greater stock price volatility, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large capitalization companies. As a result, the RTY may be more volatile than that of an equity index that does not track solely small capitalization stocks. Stock prices of small capitalization companies are also generally more vulnerable than those of large capitalization companies to adverse business and economic developments, and the stocks of small capitalization companies may be thinly traded, and be less attractive to many investors if they do not pay dividends. In addition, small capitalization companies are typically less well-established and less stable financially than large capitalization companies and may depend on a small number of key personnel, making them more vulnerable to loss of those individuals. Small capitalization companies tend to have lower revenues, less diverse product lines, smaller shares of their target markets, fewer financial resources and fewer competitive strengths than large capitalization companies. These companies may also be more susceptible to adverse developments related to their products or services.

There Are Risks Associated With Investments In Securities Linked To The Value Of Non-U.S. Equity Securities.

Some of the equity securities composing the NDX are issued by non-U.S. companies. Investments in securities linked to the value of such non-U.S. equity securities, such as the securities, involve risks associated with the home countries of the issuers of those non-U.S. equity securities. The prices of securities in non-U.S. markets may be affected by political, economic, financial and social factors in those countries, or global regions, including changes in government, economic and fiscal policies and currency exchange laws.

Risks Relating To Conflicts Of Interest

We Or One Of Our Affiliates Will Be The Calculation Agent And, As A Result, Potential Conflicts Of Interest Could Arise.

We or one of our affiliates will be the calculation agent for purposes of determining, among other things, the Starting Level and the Closing Level of each Index on the Call Observation Date and the Final Calculation Day, calculating the Maturity Payment Amount, determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred on a scheduled Calculation Day with respect to an Index, which may result in postponement of that Calculation Day for that Index, and determining the Closing Level of an Index if a Calculation Day is postponed to the last day to which it may be postponed and a Market Disruption Event occurs on that day for that Index; if publication of an Index is discontinued, selecting a successor or, if no successor is available, determining the Closing Level of such Index on the relevant calculation day; and determining whether to adjust the Closing Level of an Index on the relevant calculation day in the event of certain changes in or modifications to such Index. Although the calculation agent will exercise its judgment in good faith when performing its functions, potential conflicts of interest may exist between the calculation agent and you.

Our Economic Interests And Those Of Any Dealer Participating In The Offering Of Securities Will Potentially Be Adverse To Your Interests.

You should be aware of the following ways in which our economic interests and those of any dealer participating in the distribution of the securities, which we refer to as a “participating dealer,” will potentially be adverse to your interests as an investor in the securities. In engaging in certain of the activities described below, our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may take actions that may adversely affect the value of and your return on the securities, and in so doing they will have no obligation to consider your interests as an investor in the securities. Our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may realize a profit from these activities even if investors do not receive a favorable investment return on the securities.

●Research reports by our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may be inconsistent with an investment in the securities and may adversely affect the level of an Index.

●Business activities of our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates with the companies whose securities are included in an Index may adversely affect the level of such Index;

●Hedging activities by our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may adversely affect the level of an Index. 

●Trading activities by our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may adversely affect the level of an Index. 

●A participating dealer or its affiliates may realize hedging profits projected by its proprietary pricing models in addition to any selling concession and/or any fee, creating a further incentive for the participating dealer to sell the securities to you. 

Risks Relating To Tax

The U.S. Federal Tax Consequences Of An Investment In The Securities Are Unclear.

There is no direct legal authority regarding the proper U.S. federal tax treatment of the securities, and we do not plan to request a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). Consequently, significant aspects of the tax treatment of the securities are uncertain, and the IRS or a court might not agree with the treatment of the securities as prepaid cash-settled derivative contracts. If the IRS were

PRS-11

successful in asserting an alternative treatment of the securities, the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the securities might be materially and adversely affected. As described under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the underlying supplement, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. Any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including the character and timing of income or loss and the degree, if any, to which income realized by non-U.S. persons should be subject to withholding tax, possibly with retroactive effect.

Both U.S. and non-U.S. persons considering an investment in the securities should review carefully “Summary of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in this pricing supplement and “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the underlying supplement and consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the securities (including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the notice), as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

There Can Be No Assurance That The Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences Of An Investment In The Securities Will Not Change In The Future.

There can be no assurance that Canadian federal income tax laws, the judicial interpretation thereof, or the administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency will not be changed in a manner that adversely affects investors. For a discussion of the Canadian federal income tax consequences of investing in the securities, please read the section entitled “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” in this pricing supplement as well as the section entitled “Material Income Tax Consequences—Canadian Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus. You should consult your tax advisor with respect to your own particular situation.

The payout profile, return table and examples below illustrate hypothetical payments upon an automatic call or at stated maturity for a $1,000 face amount security on a hypothetical offering of securities under various scenarios, with the assumptions set forth in the table below. The terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples do not represent the actual Starting Level or Threshold Level for any Index. The hypothetical Starting Level of 100.00 for each Index has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual Starting Level of any Index. The actual Starting Level and Threshold Level for each Index will be determined on the Pricing Date and will be set forth under “Terms of the Securities” above. For historical data regarding the actual Closing Levels of the Indices, see the historical information set forth herein. The payout profile, return table and examples below assume that an investor purchases the securities for $1,000 per security. These examples are for purposes of illustration only and the values used in the examples may have been rounded for ease of analysis. The actual amount you receive at stated maturity or upon automatic call, and the resulting pre-tax total rate of return will depend on the actual terms of the securities.

Hypothetical Payout Profile

PRS-13

Hypothetical Returns

If the securities are automatically called:

If the securities are automatically called on the Call Observation Date, you will receive on the Call Payment Date the face amount of your securities plus the hypothetical Call Premium, resulting in a hypothetical pre-tax total rate of return of 18.90%.

If the securities are not automatically called:

⁽¹⁾The Index Return of the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day is equal to the percentage change from its Starting Level to its Ending Level (i.e., the Ending Level of the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day minus its Starting Level, divided by its Starting Level).

⁽²⁾The hypothetical pre-tax total rate of return is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the Maturity Payment Amount per security to the face amount of $1,000 (i.e., the Maturity Payment Amount per security minus $1,000, divided by $1,000).

PRS-14

Hypothetical Examples Of Payment Upon An Automatic Call Or At Stated Maturity

Example 1. The Closing Level of the Lowest Performing Index on the Call Observation Date is greater than its Starting Level, and the securities are automatically called on the Call Observation Date:

Step 1: Determine which Index is the Lowest Performing Index on the Call Observation Date.

In this example, the RTY has the lowest Index Return and is, therefore, the Lowest Performing Index on the Call Observation Date.

Step 2: Determine whether the securities will be automatically called on the Call Observation Date.

Because the hypothetical Closing Level of the Lowest Performing Index on the Call Observation Date is greater than its hypothetical Starting Level, the securities are automatically called on the Call Observation Date and you will receive on the Call Payment Date the face amount of your securities plus a Call Premium of 18.90% of the face amount. In this example, even though the Lowest Performing Index on the Call Observation Date appreciated by 50.00% from its Starting Level to its Closing Level on the Call Observation Date, your return on the securities is limited to the Call Premium of 18.90%.

On the Call Payment Date, you would receive $1,189.00 per security.

Example 2. The securities are not automatically called. The Maturity Payment Amount is greater than the face amount:

Step 1: Determine which Index is the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day.

In this example, the SPX has the lowest Index Return and is, therefore, the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day.

Step 2: Determine the Maturity Payment Amount based on the Index Return of the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day.

Because the hypothetical Closing Level of the Lowest Performing Index on the Call Observation Date is less than its hypothetical Starting Level, the securities are not automatically called. Because the hypothetical Ending Level of the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day is greater than its hypothetical Starting Level, the Maturity Payment Amount per security would be equal to:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × Index Return of the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day × Upside Participation Rate)

$1,000 + ($1,000 × 10.00% × 150.00%)

= $1,150.00

On the Stated Maturity Date, you would receive $1,150.00 per security.

PRS-15

Example 3. The securities are not automatically called. The Maturity Payment Amount is equal to the face amount:

Step 1: Determine which Index is the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day.

In this example, the SPX has the lowest Index Return and is, therefore, the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day.

Step 2: Determine the Maturity Payment Amount based on the Index Return of the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day.

Because the hypothetical Closing Level of the Lowest Performing Index on the Call Observation Date is less than its hypothetical Starting Level, the securities are not automatically called. Because the hypothetical Ending Level of the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day is less than its hypothetical Starting Level, but not by more than 25%, you would not lose any of the face amount of your securities.

On the Stated Maturity Date, you would receive $1,000.00 per security.

Example 4. The securities are not automatically called. The Maturity Payment Amount is less than the face amount:

Step 1: Determine which Index is the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day.

In this example, the SPX has the lowest Index Return and is, therefore, the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day.

Step 2: Determine the Maturity Payment Amount based on the Index Return of the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day.

Because the hypothetical Closing Level of the Lowest Performing Index on the Call Observation Date is less than its hypothetical Starting Level, the securities are not automatically called. Because the hypothetical Ending Level of the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day is less than its hypothetical Starting Level by more than 25%, you would lose a portion of the face amount of your securities and receive the Maturity Payment Amount equal to:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × Index Return of the Lowest Performing Index on the Final Calculation Day)

$1,000 + ($1,000 × -80.00%)

= $200.00

On the Stated Maturity Date you would receive $200.00 per security. As this example illustrates, if the securities are not automatically called and any Index depreciates by more than 25% from its Starting Level to its Ending Level, you will incur a loss on the securities at maturity, even if the other Indices have appreciated or have not declined below their respective Threshold Levels.

The estimated value of the securities set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement is equal to the sum of the values of the following hypothetical components: (1) a fixed-income debt component with the same maturity as the securities, valued using our internal funding rate for structured debt described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the securities. The estimated value does not represent a minimum price at which Wells Fargo Securities or any other person would be willing to buy your securities in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the Bank’s estimated value 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 securities as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the securities in comparison to those costs for our conventional fixed-rate debt. For additional information, see “Risk Factors—Our Estimated Value Is Not Determined By Reference To Credit Spreads For Our Conventional Fixed-Rate Debt” in this pricing supplement. The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the securities is derived from the Bank’s or a third party hedge provider’s internal pricing models. These models are dependent on inputs such as the traded market prices of comparable derivative instruments and on various other inputs, some of which are market-observable, and which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors, as well as assumptions about future market events and/or environments. Accordingly, the Bank’s estimated value of the securities is determined when the terms of the securities are set based on market conditions and other relevant factors and assumptions existing at that time. See “Risk Factors—Our Estimated Value Does Not Represent Future Values Of The Securities And May Differ From Others’ Estimates” in this pricing supplement.

The Bank’s estimated value of the securities will be lower than the original offering price of the securities because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the securities are included in the original offering price of the securities. These costs include the selling commissions paid to affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, the projected profits that our hedge counterparties, which may include our affiliates, expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the securities and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the securities. Because hedging our obligations entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or it may result in a loss. We or one or more of our affiliates will retain any profits realized in hedging our obligations under the securities. See “Risk Factors—Our Estimated Value of the Securities Will Be Lower Than The Original Offering Price Of The Securities” in this pricing supplement.

The following discussion is a brief summary of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to an investment in the securities.  The following summary is not complete and is both qualified and supplemented by, or in some cases supplements, the discussion entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the underlying supplement, which you should carefully review prior to investing in the securities.

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in the securities are uncertain. No statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly discusses how the securities 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 securities as prepaid cash-settled derivative contracts. By purchasing the securities, you agree to treat the securities 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 securities. Such gain or loss should generally be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held your securities for more than one year. Non-U.S. Holders should consult the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—Non-U.S. Holders” in the underlying supplement.

The expected characterization of the securities is not binding on the IRS or the courts. Thus, it is possible that the IRS would seek to characterize your securities in a manner that results in tax consequences to you that are different from those described above or in the accompanying underlying supplement. Such alternate treatments could include a requirement that a holder accrue ordinary income over the life of the securities 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 securities and certain other considerations with respect to your investment in the securities, you should consider the discussion set forth in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” of the underlying supplement. We are not responsible for any adverse consequences that you may experience as a result of any alternative characterization of the securities for U.S. federal income tax or other tax purposes.

With respect to the discussion in the underlying 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 through 2028. Based on our determination that the securities are not “delta-one” instruments, Non-U.S. Holders should not be subject to withholding on dividend equivalent payments, if any, under the securities. For a more detailed discussion of withholding responsibilities on dividend equivalent payments, Non-U.S. Holders should consult the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—Non-U.S. Holders” in the underlying supplement and consult with their own tax advisors.

You should consult your tax advisor as to the tax consequences of such characterization and any possible alternative characterizations of the securities 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 securities 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.

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 security pursuant to this pricing supplement 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 security; (c) does not use or hold and is not deemed to use or hold the security 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 security; (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 security 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 securities 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 securities, interest payable on the securities 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 security 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 securities to a person with whom they are not dealing at arm’s length for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act.
