TORONTO , June 8, 2022 /CNW/ - CIBC (TSX: CM) (NYSE: CM) today announced an offering of $800 million of 7.150% Limited Recourse Capital Notes Series 3 (Non-Viability Contingent Capital (NVCC)) (Subordinated Indebtedness) (the "LRCNs"). The LRCNs will be sold through a dealer syndicate led by CIBC Capital Markets.

The LRCNs will bear interest at a rate of 7.150% annually, payable semi-annually, for the initial period ending on, but excluding, July 28, 2027 . Thereafter, the interest rate on the LRCNs will reset every five years at a rate equal to the prevailing 5-year Government of Canada Yield plus 4.000%. The LRCNs will mature on July 28, 2082 . The expected closing date of the offering is June 15, 2022 .

In connection with the issuance of the LRCNs, CIBC will issue Non-Cumulative 5-Year Fixed Rate Reset Class A Preferred Shares Series 55 (Non-Viability Contingent Capital (NVCC)) (the "Series 55 Shares") to be held by Computershare Trust Company of Canada as trustee of CIBC LRCN Limited Recourse Trust (the "Limited Recourse Trust"). In case of non-payment of interest on or principal of the LRCNs when due, the recourse of each LRCN holder will be limited to that holder's proportionate share of the Limited Recourse Trust's assets held in respect of the LRCNs, which will consist of Series 55 Shares except in limited circumstances.

CIBC may redeem the LRCNs during the period from June 28 to and including July 28 , commencing on June 28, 2027 and every five years thereafter with the prior written approval of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (Canada ), in whole or in part on not less than 10 nor more than 60 days' prior notice.
