TORONTO, March 25, 2022 /CNW/ - CIBC (TSX: CM) (NYSE: CM), as manager, today announced a change to the fee structure for the Imperial Pools and Income Generation Portfolios (each, a "fund" and collectively, the "funds") listed in Appendix A of this release.

Effective July 1, 2022, the funds will no longer be responsible for paying for certain costs that are currently categorized as operating expenses. There is no impact to unitholders regarding this change.

The benefits to unitholders include a protection from potential increases in certain future operating expenses. Prior to applicable taxes, the MER of each class of each fund is also expected to be less than or equal to the most recently published MER. The Independent Review Committee of the funds has reviewed the introduction of a change in fee structure with respect to the potential conflict of interest matters and provided its positive recommendation, having determined that the change in fee structure achieves a fair and reasonable result for each fund.

Unitholders in the following classes of the funds do not need to approve the change in fee structure. They will be provided with at least 60 days' notice before the implementation of the change, in accordance with applicable securities law:
