By William Gullotti

Buffalo, N.Y., Jan. 19 – Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce priced $2.45 million of 0% trigger gears due Jan. 20, 2027 linked to the lesser performing of the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the index return is positive, the payout at maturity will be par plus 1.3635 times the least performing index gain.
