By Kiku Steinfeld

Chicago, Dec. 17 – Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce priced $445,000 of notes due Nov. 26, 2021 linked to a basket of 24 stocks selected by Raymond James & Associates, Inc., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket consists of Analog Devices, Inc., Aflac Inc., Alaska Air Group, Inc., Allstate Corp., Avnet, Inc., Best Buy Co., Inc., Comcast Corp., Cisco Systems, Inc., CubeSmart, LP, CVS Health Corp., Brinker International, Inc., Home Depot, Inc., Johnson & Johnson, M.D.C. Holdings, Inc., Medtronic plc, Marathon Petroleum Corp., NexPoint Residential Trust, Inc., Polaris Industries Inc., Qualcomm Inc., Republic Services, Inc., Skyworks Solutions Inc., AT&T Inc., Target Corp. and Union Pacific Corp. Each stock has a weight of 4.1667%.

Interest, if any, is payable quarterly. For each $1,000 principal amount, the coupon amount will equal the sum of the dividend amounts for the stocks multiplied by the 98.6% participation rate.

For each stock, the dividend amount is an amount in dollars equal to (a) $1,000 divided by the applicable initial share price multiplied by (b) the applicable stock weighting multiplied by (c) 100% of the gross cash distributions (including ordinary and extraordinary dividends), after withholding tax that would be imposed on CIBC with respect to such dividends, if any, per share or unit of the stock declared by the stock issuer where the date that the applicable stock has commenced trading ex-dividend as to each relevant distribution occurs during the relevant coupon calculation period.

For each $1,000 principal amount of notes, the payout at maturity will be $1,000 multiplied by the basket level percentage multiplied by the 98.6% participation rate. The basket level percentage is the sum of the weighted stock performances. Because the participation rate is less than 100%, the basket level percentage must exceed 1.42%. in order for investors to receive more than par.

CIBC World Markets Corp. is the agent.
