ETF Series units of the CIBC 2026 Investment Grade Bond Fund (Cboe Canada: CTBB) and the CIBC 2026 U.S. Investment Grade Bond Fund (Cboe Canada: CTUD.U) are expected to be voluntarily delisted at CIBC GAM's request, with trading expected to end after the market close on or about November 25, 2026.

After paying or making adequate provision for all liabilities, CIBC GAM will distribute each fund's net assets pro rata to unitholders of record of the applicable fund, based on the series net asset value per unit. The distribution will occur as soon as practicable following the termination date. CIBC GAM will issue an additional press release on or about the termination date confirming the final valuation for the ETF Series units of the funds.
