Q3 2019 Fixed Income Investor Presentation

24 21 Domestic Stability Buffer Background Canadian Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBS) are required to hold Pillar 2 capital buffer that is privately communicated to each bank, to address risks that are inadequately captured by the Pillar 1 minimum capital requirements D-SIBS are subject to publicly-disclosed Pillar 1 minimum of 8.0% and undisclosed non-public Pillar 2 buffer What Has Changed ☐ ☐ This Domestic Stability Buffer will increase to 2.0% of RWA effective October 31, 2019, but could range between 0% to 2.5% depending on OSFI's assessment of systemic vulnerabilities D-SIBS face including Canadian consumer and institutional indebtedness, as well as asset imbalances in the Canadian market OSFI announced on June 20th 2018 a revised framework where a component of the Pillar 2 buffer for D-SIBS will be publicly disclosed (1) The purpose of public disclosure is to provide greater transparency to the market and other stakeholders, and to enhance the usability of the buffer by the banks in times of stress A breach would require a remediation plan from the bank OSFI will undertake a review of the buffer on a semi-annual basis, in June and December with any changes being made public Implications for Banks There is no incremental capital requirement for banks. This is a transition of the Pillar 2 capital buffer requirement from private to public domain. Given CIBC (and other Canadian D-SIBS) are well above the minimum requirement, we do not believe this will impact banks' capital planning in a material way (1) There may be an additional private component to Pillar 2 buffer specific to individual banks (2) The Domestic Stability Buffer was originally set at 1.5% when introduced Current 1.75% Domestic Stability 11.4% Buffer(2) Pillar 1 Minimum 8.0% for D-SIBS* OSFI Requirement CIBC (Q3/19) * Consists of 4.5% minimum plus 2.5% of capital conservation buffer plus 1.0% current D-SIB surcharge
