Market Linked Securities—Auto-Callable with Leveraged Upside Participation and Contingent Downside
Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Lowest Performing of the Common Stock of Microsoft Corporation and the Common Stock of NVIDIA Corporation due September 22, 2027
¨	Linked to the lowest performing of the common stock of Microsoft Corporation and the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation (each, an “Underlying Stock”)
¨	Unlike ordinary debt securities, the securities do not pay interest or repay a fixed amount of principal at maturity, and are subject to potential automatic call prior to maturity upon the terms described below. Whether the securities are automatically called prior to maturity and, if not automatically called, the Maturity Payment Amount, will depend, in each case, on the Stock Closing Price of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Call Observation Date or the Final Calculation Day, as applicable. The Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Call Observation Date or the Final Calculation Day is the Underlying Stock that has the lowest Stock Return on that day
¨	Automatic Call. If the Stock Closing Price of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Call Observation Date occurring approximately one year after issuance is greater than or equal to its Starting Price, the securities will be automatically called for the face amount plus a Call Premium of at least 40.00% of the face amount (to be determined on the Pricing Date)
¨	Maturity Payment Amount. If the securities are not automatically called, you will receive a Maturity Payment Amount that may be greater than, equal to or less than the face amount of the securities, depending on the performance of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Final Calculation Day from its Starting Price to its Ending Price. The Maturity Payment Amount will reflect the following terms:
	o     If the price of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Final Calculation Day increases, you will receive the face amount plus a positive return equal to 200% of the percentage increase in the price of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Final Calculation Day from its Starting Price o       If the price of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Final Calculation Day does not change or decreases but the decrease is not more than 50%, you will receive the face amount o      If the price of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Final Calculation Day decreases by more than 50%, you will have full downside exposure to the decrease in the price of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Final Calculation Day from its Starting Price, and you will lose more than 50%, and possibly all, of the face amount
¨	Investors may lose a significant portion or all of the face amount
¨	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 Underlying Stock, which may be significant. If the securities are automatically called, you will no longer have the opportunity to participate in any appreciation of any Underlying Stock at the Upside Participation Rate
¨	Your return on the securities will depend solely on the performance of the Underlying Stock that is the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Call Observation Date or the Final Calculation Day, as applicable. You will not benefit in any way from the performance of the better performing Underlying Stocks. Therefore, you will be adversely affected if any Underlying Stock performs poorly, even if the other Underlying Stocks perform favorably
¨	All payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and you will have no ability to pursue any Underlying Stock Issuer for payment; if Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce defaults on its obligations, you could lose all or some of your investment
¨	No periodic interest payments or dividends
¨	No exchange listing; designed to be held to maturity or earlier automatic call

Market Linked Securities—Auto-Callable with Leveraged Upside Participation and Contingent Downside Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Lowest Performing of the Common Stock of Microsoft Corporation and the Common Stock of NVIDIA Corporation due September 22, 2027

Investor Considerations

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

● seek a fixed return equal to the Call Premium if the securities are automatically called on the Call Observation Date;

● understand that the securities may be automatically called prior to maturity and that the term of the securities may be as short as approximately one year;

● seek 200% leveraged exposure to the upside performance of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Final Calculation Day if the securities are not automatically called and its Ending Price is greater than its Starting Price;

● desire repayment of the face amount at maturity if the securities are not called so long as the Ending Price of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Final Calculation Day is not less than its Starting Price by more than 50%;

● are willing to accept the risk that, if the securities are not called and the Ending Price of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Final Calculation Day is less than its Starting Price by more than 50%, they will be fully exposed to the decrease in the price of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Final Calculation Day from its Starting Price, and will lose more than 50%, and possibly all, of the face amount at maturity;

● understand that the return on the securities will depend solely on the performance of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Call Observation Date or the Final Calculation Day, as applicable, and that they will not benefit in any way from the performance of the better performing Underlying Stocks;

● understand that the securities are riskier than alternative investments linked to only one of the Underlying Stocks or linked to a basket composed of the Underlying Stocks;

● are willing to forgo periodic interest payments on the securities and dividends or other distributions paid on the Underlying Stocks; and

● are willing to hold the securities until maturity or earlier automatic call.

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

● seek a liquid investment or are unable or unwilling to hold the securities to maturity or automatic call;

● believe that the price of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Call Observation Date will decrease and the Ending Price of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Final Calculation Day will be less than its Starting Price;

● are unwilling to accept the risk that the securities are not automatically called prior to maturity and the Ending Price of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Final Calculation Day may decrease by more than 50% from its Starting Price;

● seek full return of the face amount of the securities at maturity;

● seek a security with a fixed term;

● seek exposure to a basket composed of the Underlying Stocks or a similar investment in which the overall return is based on a blend of the performances of the Underlying Stocks, rather than solely on the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock;

● are unwilling to purchase securities with an estimated value as of the Pricing Date that is lower than the original offering price, and may be as low as the lower estimate set forth on the cover page;

● seek current income;

● are unwilling to accept the risk of exposure to the Underlying Stocks;

● seek exposure to the Underlying Stocks but are unwilling to accept the risk/return trade-offs inherent in the Maturity Payment Amount for the securities;

● are unwilling to accept the credit risk of CIBC; or

● prefer the lower risk of conventional fixed income investments with comparable maturities issued by companies with comparable credit ratings.

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.

Market Linked Securities—Auto-Callable with Leveraged Upside Participation and Contingent Downside Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Lowest Performing of the Common Stock of Microsoft Corporation and the Common Stock of NVIDIA Corporation due September 22, 2027

Selected Risk Considerations

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 Price of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock On The Final Calculation Day Is Less Than Its Threshold Price, You Will Lose More Than 50%, And Possibly All, Of The Face Amount Of Your Securities At Maturity.

We will not repay you a fixed amount on the securities on the Stated Maturity Date. If the securities are not automatically called, the Maturity Payment Amount will depend on the direction of and percentage change in the Ending Price of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Final Calculation Day relative to its Starting Price and the other terms of the securities. Because the price of each Underlying Stock 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 Price of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Final Calculation Day is less than its Threshold Price, the Maturity Payment Amount will be less than the face amount and you will have full downside exposure to the decrease in the price of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Final Calculation Day from its Starting Price. The Threshold Price of an Underlying Stock is 50% of its Starting Price. For example, if the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Final Calculation Day has declined by 50.1% from its Starting Price to its Ending Price, you will not receive any benefit of the contingent downside feature and you will lose 50.1% of the face amount. As a result, you will not receive any protection if the price of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Final Calculation Day declines below its Threshold Price and you will lose more than 50%, and possibly all, of the face amount at maturity. This is the case even if the price of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Final Calculation Day is greater than or equal to its Starting Price or its Threshold Price at certain times during the term of the securities.

Even if the securities are not automatically called and the Ending Price of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Final Calculation Day is greater than its Starting Price, 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 Underlying Stock, 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 Underlying Stocks. If the securities are automatically called, you will no longer have the opportunity to participate in any appreciation of any Underlying Stock at the Upside Participation Rate.

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

You are subject to the full risks of each Underlying Stock. If any Underlying Stock performs poorly, you will be negatively affected, even if the other Underlying Stocks perform favorably. The securities are not linked to a basket composed of the Underlying Stocks, where the better performance of some Underlying Stocks could offset the poor performance of others. Instead, you are subject to the full risks of whichever Underlying Stock is the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock 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 Underlying Stocks or linked to a basket composed of the Underlying Stocks. You should not invest in the securities unless you understand and are willing to accept the full downside risks of each Underlying Stock.

PRS-8

Market Linked Securities—Auto-Callable with Leveraged Upside Participation and Contingent Downside Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Lowest Performing of the Common Stock of Microsoft Corporation and the Common Stock of NVIDIA Corporation due September 22, 2027

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

Your return on the securities will depend solely on the performance of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Call Observation Date or the Final Calculation Day, as applicable. Although it is necessary for each Underlying Stock to close at or above its respective Starting Price on the Call Observation Date for you to receive the Call Premium and at or above its respective Threshold Price 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 better performing Underlying Stocks. The securities may underperform an alternative investment linked to a basket composed of the Underlying Stocks, since in such case the performance of the better performing Underlying Stocks would be blended with the performance of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock, resulting in a better return than the return of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock alone.

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

It is preferable from your perspective for the Underlying Stocks to be correlated with each other so that their prices will tend to increase or decrease at similar times and by similar magnitudes. By investing in the securities, you assume the risk that the Underlying Stocks will not exhibit this relationship. The less correlated the Underlying Stocks, the more likely it is that any one of the Underlying Stocks 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 Underlying Stocks to perform poorly; the performance of the better performing Underlying Stocks is not relevant to your return on the securities. It is impossible to predict what the relationship among the Underlying Stocks will be over the term of the securities. To the extent the Underlying Stocks operate in different industries or sectors of the market, such industries and sectors 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 Underlying Stock will be postponed if the originally scheduled Call Observation Date or Final Calculation Day is not a Trading Day with respect to any Underlying Stock or if the calculation agent determines that a Market Disruption Event has occurred or is continuing with respect to that Underlying Stock 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 Underlying Stock Issuer 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 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 prices of the Underlying Stocks, 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 Underlying Stocks; volatility of the Underlying Stocks; correlation among the Underlying Stocks; economic and other conditions generally; interest rates; dividend yields on the Underlying Stocks; 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 price of an Underlying Stock. Because numerous factors are expected to affect the value of the securities, changes in the price of an Underlying Stock 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

PRS-10

Market Linked Securities—Auto-Callable with Leveraged Upside Participation and Contingent Downside Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Lowest Performing of the Common Stock of Microsoft Corporation and the Common Stock of NVIDIA Corporation due September 22, 2027

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.

Risks Relating To The Underlying Stocks

The Securities Will Be Subject To Single Stock Risk.

The price of an Underlying Stock can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to that Underlying Stock and its issuer, such as stock price volatility, earnings, financial conditions, corporate, industry and regulatory developments, management changes and decisions and other events, as well as general market factors, such as general stock market volatility and prices, interest rates and economic and political conditions.

You Have Limited Anti-dilution Protection.

The calculation agent will, in its sole discretion, adjust the Adjustment Factor of an Underlying Stock for certain events affecting that Underlying Stock, such as stock splits and stock dividends, and certain other corporate actions involving its Underlying Stock Issuer, such as mergers. However, the calculation agent is not required to make an adjustment for every corporate event that can affect an Underlying Stock. For example, the calculation agent is not required to make any adjustments to the Adjustment Factor of an Underlying Stock if its Underlying Stock Issuer or anyone else makes a partial tender or partial exchange offer for that Underlying Stock. Consequently, this could affect the market value of the securities. See “General Terms of the Securities—Adjustments Relating to an Underlying Stock” in the accompanying product supplement for a description of the general circumstances in which the calculation agent will make adjustments to the Adjustment Factor of an Underlying Stock.

The Securities May Become Linked To The Common Stock Of A Company Other Than An Original Underlying Stock Issuer.

Following certain corporate events relating to an Underlying Stock, such as a stock-for-stock merger where its Underlying Stock Issuer is not the surviving entity, the shares of a successor corporation to its Underlying Stock Issuer will be substituted for that Underlying Stock for all purposes of the securities. Following certain other corporate events relating to an Underlying Stock in which holders of that Underlying Stock would receive all of their consideration in cash and the surviving entity has no marketable securities outstanding or there is no surviving entity (including, but not limited to, a leveraged buyout or other going private transaction involving that Underlying Stock Issuer, or a liquidation of its Underlying Stock Issuer), the common stock of another company in the same industry group as its Underlying Stock Issuer will be substituted for that Underlying Stock for all purposes of the securities. In the event of such a corporate event, the equity-linked nature of the securities would be significantly altered. We describe the specific corporate events that can lead to these adjustments and the procedures for selecting the stock of another company as an Underlying Stock in the section entitled “General Terms of the Securities—Adjustments Relating to an Underlying Stock” in the accompanying product supplement. The occurrence of such corporate events and the consequent adjustments may materially and adversely affect the market value of the securities.

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 Price and the Stock Closing Price of each Underlying Stock on the Call Observation Date and the Final Calculation Day, calculating the Maturity Payment Amount, determining whether adjustments should be made to the Adjustment Factor of any Underlying Stock, determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred on a scheduled Calculation Day with respect to an Underlying Stock, which may result in postponement of that Calculation Day for that Underlying Stock, and determining the Stock Closing Price of an Underlying Stock 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 with respect to that Underlying Stock. 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 price of an Underlying Stock.

· Business activities of our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates with an Underlying Stock Issuer;

· Hedging activities by our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may adversely affect the price of an Underlying Stock.

· Trading activities by our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may adversely affect the price of an Underlying Stock.

· 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 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 terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples do not represent the actual Starting Price or Threshold Price for any Underlying Stock. The hypothetical Starting Price of $100.00 for each Underlying Stock has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual Starting Price of any Underlying Stock. The actual Starting Price and Threshold Price for each Underlying Stock 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 Prices of the Underlying Stocks, 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 Examples Of Payment Upon An Automatic Call Or At Stated Maturity

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

	MSFT	NVDA
Hypothetical Starting Price:	$100.00	$100.00
Hypothetical Stock Closing Price on the Call Observation Date:	$175.00	$150.00
Hypothetical Stock Return on the Call Observation Date:	75.00%	50.00%

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

In this example, the NVDA has the lowest Stock Return and is, therefore, the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Call Observation Date.

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

Because the hypothetical Stock Closing Price of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Call Observation Date is greater than its hypothetical Starting Price, 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 40.00% of the face amount. In this example, even though the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Call Observation Date appreciated by 50.00% from its Starting Price to its Stock Closing Price on the Call Observation Date, your return on the securities is limited to the Call Premium of 40.00%.

On the Call Payment Date, you would receive $1,400.00 per security.

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

	MSFT	NVDA
Hypothetical Starting Price:	$100.00	$100.00
Hypothetical Stock Closing Price on the Call Observation Date:	$80.00	$95.00
Hypothetical Ending Price:	$110.00	$150.00
Hypothetical Threshold Price:	$50.00	$50.00
Hypothetical Stock Return on the Final Calculation Day:	10.00%	50.00%

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

In this example, the MSFT has the lowest Stock Return and is, therefore, the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Final Calculation Day.

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

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

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

$1,000 + ($1,000 × 10.00% × 200.00%)

= $1,200.00

On the Stated Maturity Date, you would receive $1,200.00 per security.

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

	MSFT	NVDA
Hypothetical Starting Price:	$100.00	$100.00
Hypothetical Stock Closing Price on the Call Observation Date:	$70.00	$90.00
Hypothetical Ending Price:	$80.00	$125.00
Hypothetical Threshold Price:	$50.00	$50.00
Hypothetical Stock Return on the Final Calculation Day:	-20.00%	25.00%

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

In this example, the MSFT has the lowest Stock Return and is, therefore, the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Final Calculation Day.

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

Because the hypothetical Stock Closing Price of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Call Observation Date is less than its hypothetical Starting Price, the securities are not automatically called. Because the hypothetical Ending Price of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Final Calculation Day is less than its hypothetical Starting Price, but not by more than 50%, 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:

	MSFT	NVDA
Hypothetical Starting Price:	$100.00	$100.00
Hypothetical Stock Closing Price on the Call Observation Date:	$75.00	$80.00
Hypothetical Ending Price:	$20.00	$105.00
Hypothetical Threshold Price:	$50.00	$50.00
Hypothetical Stock Return on Final Calculation Day:	-80.00%	5.00%

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

In this example, the MSFT has the lowest Stock Return and is, therefore, the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Final Calculation Day.

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

Because the hypothetical Stock Closing Price of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock on the Call Observation Date is less than its hypothetical Starting Price, the securities are not automatically called. Because the hypothetical Ending Price of the Lowest

Performing Underlying Stock on the Final Calculation Day is less than its hypothetical Starting Price by more than 50%, you would lose a portion of the face amount of your securities and receive the Maturity Payment Amount equal to:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × Stock Return of the Lowest Performing Underlying Stock 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 Underlying Stock depreciates by more than 50% from its Starting Price to its Ending Price, you will incur a loss on the securities at maturity, even if the other Underlying Stocks have appreciated or have not declined below their respective Threshold Prices.

The Estimated Value of the Securities

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.

Summary of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

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 before January 1, 2027. 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.

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

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.
