Early Redemption:
We, at our election, may redeem the notes early, in whole but not in part, on any of the Interest Payment Dates (other than the first and final Interest Payment Dates) at a price, for each $1,000 principal amount note, equal to (a) $1,000 plus (b) the Contingent Interest Payment, if any, applicable to the immediately preceding Review Date.

If the notes have not been redeemed early and the Final Value of each Underlying is greater than or equal to its Trigger Value, you will receive a cash payment at maturity, for each $1,000 principal amount note, equal to (a) $1,000 plus (b) the Contingent Interest Payment, if any, applicable to the final Review Date.
If the notes have not been redeemed early and the Final Value of any Underlying is less than its Trigger Value, your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × Least Performing Underlying Return)
If the notes have not been redeemed early and the Final Value of any Underlying is less than its Trigger Value, you will lose more than 45.00% of your principal amount at maturity and could lose all of your principal amount at maturity.

Supplemental Terms of the Notes
The notes are not commodity futures contracts or swaps and are not regulated under the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as amended (the “Commodity Exchange Act”). The notes are offered pursuant to an exemption from regulation under the Commodity Exchange Act, commonly known as the hybrid instrument exemption, that is available to securities that have one or more payments indexed to the value, level or rate of one or more commodities, as set out in section 2(f) of that statute. Accordingly, you are not afforded any protection provided by the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulation promulgated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Any values of the Underlyings, and any values derived therefrom, included in this pricing supplement may be corrected, in the event of manifest error or inconsistency, by amendment of this pricing supplement and the corresponding terms of the notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the indenture governing the notes, that amendment will become effective without consent of the holders of the notes or any other party.

Total Contingent Interest Payments
The table below illustrates the hypothetical total Contingent Interest Payments per $1,000 principal amount note over the term of the notes based on a hypothetical Contingent Interest Rate of 13.00% per annum, depending on how many Contingent Interest Payments are made prior to early redemption or maturity. The actual Contingent Interest Rate will be provided in the pricing supplement and will be at least 13.00% per annum (payable at a rate of at least 3.25% per quarter).
| Number of Contingent Interest Payments | Total Contingent Interest Payments |
| 11 | $357.50 |
| 10 | $325.00 |
| 9 | $292.50 |
| 8 | $260.00 |
| 7 | $227.50 |
| 6 | $195.00 |

Hypothetical Payout Examples
The following examples illustrate payments on the notes linked to three hypothetical Underlyings, assuming a range of performances for the hypothetical Least Performing Underlying on the Review Dates. Each hypothetical payment set forth below assumes that the closing value of each Underlying that is not the Least Performing Underlying on each Review Date is greater than or equal to its Initial Value (and therefore its Interest Barrier and Trigger Value).
The hypothetical payments set forth below assume the following:
| · | the notes have not been redeemed early; |
| · | an Initial Value for the Least Performing Underlying of 100.00; |
| · | an Interest Barrier for the Least Performing Underlying of 60.00 (equal to 60.00% of its hypothetical Initial Value); |
| · | a Trigger Value for the Least Performing Underlying of 55.00 (equal to 55.00% of its hypothetical Initial Value); and |
| · | a Contingent Interest Rate of 13.00% per annum. |
The hypothetical Initial Value of the Least Performing Underlying of 100.00 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and may not represent a likely actual Initial Value of any Underlying. The actual Initial Value of each Underlying will be the closing value of that Underlying on the Pricing Date and will be provided in the pricing supplement. For historical data regarding the actual closing values of each Underlying, please see the historical information set forth under “The Underlyings” in this pricing supplement.
Each hypothetical payment set forth below is for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual payment applicable to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.
Example 1 — Notes have NOT been redeemed early and the Final Value of the Least Performing Underlying is greater than or equal to its Trigger Value and its Interest Barrier.
| Date | Closing Value of Least Performing Underlying | Payment (per $1,000 principal amount note) |
| First Review Date | 95.00 | $32.50 |
| Second Review Date | 85.00 | $32.50 |
| Third through Tenth Review Dates | Less than Interest Barrier | $0 |
| Final Review Date | 90.00 | $1,032.50 |
| Total Payment | $1,097.50 (9.75% return) |
Because the notes have not been redeemed early and the Final Value of the Least Performing Underlying is greater than or equal to its Trigger Value and its Interest Barrier, the payment at maturity, for each $1,000 principal amount note, will be $1,032.50 (or $1,000 plus the Contingent Interest Payment applicable to the final Review Date). When added to the Contingent Interest Payments received with respect to the prior Review Dates, the total amount paid, for each $1,000 principal amount note, is $1,097.50.
Example 2 — Notes have NOT been redeemed early and the Final Value of the Least Performing Underlying is less than its Interest Barrier but is greater than or equal to its Trigger Value.
| Date | Closing Value of Least Performing Underlying | Payment (per $1,000 principal amount note) |
| First Review Date | 95.00 | $32.50 |
| Second Review Date | 80.00 | $32.50 |
| Third through Tenth Review Dates | Less than Interest Barrier | $0 |
| Final Review Date | 55.00 | $1,000.00 |
| Total Payment | $1,065.00 (6.50% return) |
Because the notes have not been redeemed early and the Final Value of the Least Performing Underlying is less than its Interest Barrier but is greater than or equal to its Trigger Value, the payment at maturity, for each $1,000 principal amount note, will be $1,000.00. When added to the Contingent Interest Payments received with respect to the prior Review Dates, the total amount paid, for each $1,000 principal amount note, is $1,065.00.
PS-4 | Structured Investments Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Least Performing of the iShares® Silver Trust, the iShares® Semiconductor ETF and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index | |
Example 3 — Notes have NOT been redeemed early and the Final Value of the Least Performing Underlying is less than its Trigger Value.
| Date | Closing Value of Least Performing Underlying | Payment (per $1,000 principal amount note) |
| First Review Date | 40.00 | $0 |
| Second Review Date | 45.00 | $0 |
| Third through Tenth Review Dates | Less than Interest Barrier | $0 |
| Final Review Date | 40.00 | $400.00 |
| Total Payment | $400.00 (-60.00% return) |
Because the notes have not been redeemed early, the Final Value of the Least Performing Underlying is less than its Trigger Value and the Least Performing Underlying Return is -60.00%, the payment at maturity will be $400.00 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:
$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-60.00%)] = $400.00
The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the notes shown above apply only if you hold the notes for their entire term. These hypotheticals do not reflect the fees or expenses that would be associated with any sale in the secondary market. If these fees and expenses were included, the hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments shown above would likely be lower.
Selected Risk Considerations
An investment in the notes involves significant risks. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” sections of the accompanying prospectus supplement and product supplement and in Annex A to the accompanying prospectus addendum.
Risks Relating to the Notes Generally
| · | YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS — |
The notes do not guarantee any return of principal. If the notes have not been redeemed early and the Final Value of any Underlying is less than its Trigger Value, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Final Value of the Least Performing Underlying is less than its Initial Value. Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose more than 45.00% of your principal amount at maturity and could lose all of your principal amount at maturity.
| · | THE NOTES DO NOT GUARANTEE THE PAYMENT OF INTEREST AND MAY NOT PAY ANY INTEREST AT ALL — |
If the notes have not been redeemed early, we will make a Contingent Interest Payment with respect to a Review Date only if the closing value of each Underlying on that Review Date is greater than or equal to its Interest Barrier. If the closing value of any Underlying on that Review Date is less than its Interest Barrier, no Contingent Interest Payment will be made with respect to that Review Date. Accordingly, if the closing value of any Underlying on each Review Date is less than its Interest Barrier, you will not receive any interest payments over the term of the notes.
| · | CREDIT RISKS OF JPMORGAN FINANCIAL AND JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. — |
Investors are dependent on our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s ability to pay all amounts due on the notes. Any actual or potential change in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness or credit spreads, as determined by the market for taking that credit risk, is likely to adversely affect the value of the notes. If we and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were to default on our payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the notes and you could lose your entire investment.
| · | AS A FINANCE SUBSIDIARY, JPMORGAN FINANCIAL HAS NO INDEPENDENT OPERATIONS AND HAS LIMITED ASSETS — |
As a finance subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co., we have no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of our securities and the collection of intercompany obligations. Aside from the initial capital contribution from JPMorgan Chase & Co., substantially all of our assets relate to obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. to make payments under loans made by us to JPMorgan Chase & Co. or under other intercompany agreements. As a result, we are dependent upon payments from JPMorgan Chase & Co. to meet our obligations under the notes. We are not a key operating subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and in a bankruptcy or resolution of JPMorgan Chase & Co. we are not expected to have sufficient resources to meet our obligations in respect of the notes as they come due. If JPMorgan Chase & Co. does not make payments to us and we are unable to make payments on the notes, you may have to seek payment under the related guarantee by JPMorgan Chase & Co., and that
PS-5 | Structured Investments Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Least Performing of the iShares® Silver Trust, the iShares® Semiconductor ETF and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index | |
guarantee will rank pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. For more information, see the accompanying prospectus addendum.
| · | THE APPRECIATION POTENTIAL OF THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO THE SUM OF ANY CONTINGENT INTEREST PAYMENTS THAT MAY BE PAID OVER THE TERM OF THE NOTES, |
regardless of any appreciation of any Underlying, which may be significant. You will not participate in any appreciation of any Underlying.
| · | YOU ARE EXPOSED TO THE RISK OF DECLINE IN THE VALUE OF EACH UNDERLYING — |
Payments on the notes are not linked to a basket composed of the Underlyings and are contingent upon the performance of each individual Underlying. Poor performance by any of the Underlyings over the term of the notes may negatively affect whether you will receive a Contingent Interest Payment on any Interest Payment Date and your payment at maturity and will not be offset or mitigated by positive performance by any other Underlying.
| · | YOUR PAYMENT AT MATURITY WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE LEAST PERFORMING UNDERLYING. |
| · | THE BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE TRIGGER VALUE MAY TERMINATE ON THE FINAL REVIEW DATE — |
If the Final Value of any Underlying is less than its Trigger Value and the notes have not been redeemed early, the benefit provided by the Trigger Value will terminate and you will be fully exposed to any depreciation of the Least Performing Underlying.
| · | THE OPTIONAL EARLY REDEMPTION FEATURE MAY FORCE A POTENTIAL EARLY EXIT — |
If we elect to redeem your notes early, the term of the notes may be reduced to as short as approximately six months and you will not receive any Contingent Interest Payments after the applicable Interest Payment Date. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the notes at a comparable return and/or with a comparable interest rate for a similar level of risk. Even in cases where we elect to redeem your notes before maturity, you are not entitled to any fees and commissions described on the front cover of this pricing supplement.
| · | YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE DIVIDENDS ON THE iSHARES® SEMICONDUCTOR ETF OR THE SECURITIES HELD BY THE iSHARES® SEMICONDUCTOR ETF OR INCLUDED IN THE INDEX OR HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO EITHER FUND OR THE SECURITIES OR COMMODITIES HELD BY OR INCLUDED IN ANY UNDERLYING. |
| · | THE RISK OF THE CLOSING VALUE OF AN UNDERLYING FALLING BELOW ITS INTEREST BARRIER OR TRIGGER VALUE IS GREATER IF THE VALUE OF THAT UNDERLYING IS VOLATILE. |
| · | WE MAY ACCELERATE YOUR NOTES IF A CHANGE-IN-LAW EVENT OCCURS — |
Upon the announcement or occurrence of legal or regulatory changes that the calculation agent determines are likely to interfere with your or our ability to transact in or hold the notes or our ability to hedge or perform our obligations under the notes, we may, in our sole and absolute discretion, accelerate the payment on your notes and pay you an amount determined in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner by the calculation agent. If the payment on your notes is accelerated, your investment may result in a loss and you may not be able to reinvest your money in a comparable investment. Please see “General Terms of Notes — Consequences of a Change-in-Law Event” in the accompanying product supplement for more information.
| · | LACK OF LIQUIDITY — |
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Accordingly, the price at which you may be able to trade your notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, which we refer to as JPMS, is willing to buy the notes. You may not be able to sell your notes. The notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity.
| · | THE FINAL TERMS AND VALUATION OF THE NOTES WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE PRICING SUPPLEMENT — |
You should consider your potential investment in the notes based on the minimums for the estimated value of the notes and the Contingent Interest Rate.
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest
| · | POTENTIAL CONFLICTS — |
We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the notes. In performing these duties, our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s economic interests are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes. It is possible that hedging or trading
PS-6 | Structured Investments Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Least Performing of the iShares® Silver Trust, the iShares® Semiconductor ETF and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index | |
activities of ours or our affiliates in connection with the notes could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the notes declines. Please refer to “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest” in the accompanying product supplement.
In addition, the benchmark price of the iShares® Silver Trust’s Underlying Commodity (as defined under “The Funds” below) is administered by the London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”) or an independent service provider appointed by the LBMA, and we are, or one of our affiliates is, a price participant that contributes to the determination of that price. Furthermore, our affiliate is the custodian of the iShares® Silver Trust. We and our affiliates will have no obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the notes in taking any actions in connection with our roles as a price participant and a custodian that might affect the iShares® Silver Trust or the notes.
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes
| · | THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES WILL BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE (PRICE TO PUBLIC) OF THE NOTES — |
The estimated value of the notes is only an estimate determined by reference to several factors. The original issue price of the notes will exceed the estimated value of the notes because costs associated with structuring and hedging the notes are included in the original issue price of the notes. These costs include the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. See “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
| · | THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE VALUES OF THE NOTES AND MAY DIFFER FROM OTHERS’ ESTIMATES — |
See “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
| · | THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES IS DERIVED BY REFERENCE TO AN INTERNAL FUNDING RATE — |
The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied funding rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference may be based on, among other things, our and our affiliates’ view of the funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the notes in comparison to those costs for the conventional fixed income instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any secondary market prices of the notes. See “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
| · | THE VALUE OF THE NOTES AS PUBLISHED BY JPMS (AND WHICH MAY BE REFLECTED ON CUSTOMER ACCOUNT STATEMENTS) MAY BE HIGHER THAN THE THEN-CURRENT ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES FOR A LIMITED TIME PERIOD — |
We generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the notes will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period. See “Secondary Market Prices of the Notes” in this pricing supplement for additional information relating to this initial period. Accordingly, the estimated value of your notes during this initial period may be lower than the value of the notes as published by JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer account statements).
| · | SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL LIKELY BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE OF THE NOTES — |
Any secondary market prices of the notes will likely be lower than the original issue price of the notes because, among other things, secondary market prices take into account our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances and, also, because secondary market prices may exclude projected hedging profits, if any, and estimated hedging costs that are included in the original issue price of the notes. As a result, the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy the notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, is likely to be lower than the original issue price. Any sale by you prior to the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you.
| · | SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL BE IMPACTED BY MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS — |
The secondary market price of the notes during their term will be impacted by a number of economic and market factors, which may either offset or magnify each other, aside from the projected hedging profits, if any, estimated hedging costs and the values of the Underlyings. Additionally, independent pricing vendors and/or third party broker-dealers may publish a price for the notes,
PS-7 | Structured Investments Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Least Performing of the iShares® Silver Trust, the iShares® Semiconductor ETF and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index | |
which may also be reflected on customer account statements. This price may be different (higher or lower) than the price of the notes, if any, at which JPMS may be willing to purchase your notes in the secondary market. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — Secondary market prices of the notes will be impacted by many economic and market factors” in the accompanying product supplement.
Risks Relating to the Underlyings
| · | THE PERFORMANCE AND MARKET VALUE OF EACH FUND, PARTICULARLY DURING PERIODS OF MARKET VOLATILITY, MAY NOT CORRELATE WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THAT FUND’S UNDERLYING INDEX OR UNDERLYING COMMODITY, AS APPLICABLE, AS WELL AS THE NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE — |
The iShares® Semiconductor ETF does not fully replicate its Underlying Index (as defined under “The Underlyings” below) and may hold securities different from those included in its Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of the iShares® Semiconductor ETF will reflect additional transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of its Underlying Index. All of these factors may lead to a lack of correlation between the performance of the iShares® Semiconductor ETF and its Underlying Index. In addition, corporate actions with respect to the equity securities underlying the iShares® Semiconductor ETF (such as mergers and spin-offs) may impact the variance between the performances of the iShares® Semiconductor ETF and its Underlying Index. Finally, because the shares of the iShares® Semiconductor ETF are traded on a securities exchange and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the market value of one share of the iShares® Semiconductor ETF may differ from the net asset value per share of the iShares® Semiconductor ETF.
In addition, the iShares® Silver Trust does not fully replicate the performance of its Underlying Commodity due to the fees and expenses charged by the iShares® Silver Trust or by restrictions on access to the relevant Underlying Commodity (as defined under “The Underlyings” below) due to other circumstances. The iShares® Silver Trust does not generate any income, and as the iShares® Silver Trust regularly sells its Underlying Commodity to pay for ongoing expenses, the amount of its Underlying Commodity represented by each share gradually declines over time. The iShares® Silver Trust sells its Underlying Commodity to pay expenses on an ongoing basis irrespective of whether the trading price of the shares rises or falls in response to changes in the price of its Underlying Commodity. The sale by the iShares® Silver Trust of its Underlying Commodity to pay expenses at a time of low prices for its Underlying Commodity could adversely affect the value of the notes. Additionally, there is a risk that part or all of the iShares® Silver Trust’s holdings in its Underlying Commodity could be lost, damaged or stolen. Access to the iShares® Silver Trust’s Underlying Commodity could also be restricted by natural events (such as an earthquake) or human actions (such as a terrorist attack). All of these factors may lead to a lack of correlation between the performance of the iShares® Silver Trust and its Underlying Commodity. In addition, because the shares of the iShares® Silver Trust are traded on a securities exchange and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the market value of one share of the iShares® Silver Trust may differ from the net asset value per share of the iShares® Silver Trust.
During periods of market volatility, securities underlying the iShares® Semiconductor ETF or the Underlying Commodity of the iShares® Silver Trust may be unavailable in the secondary market, market participants may be unable to calculate accurately the net asset value per share of a Fund and the liquidity of a Fund may be adversely affected. This kind of market volatility may also disrupt the ability of market participants to create and redeem shares of a Fund. Further, market volatility may adversely affect, sometimes materially, the prices at which market participants are willing to buy and sell shares of a Fund. As a result, under these circumstances, the market value of shares of a Fund may vary substantially from the net asset value per share of that Fund. For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of each Fund may not correlate with the performance of its Underlying Index or Underlying Commodity, as applicable, as well as the net asset value per share of that Fund, which could materially and adversely affect the value of the notes in the secondary market and/or reduce any payment on the notes.
| · | THE iSHARES® SILVER TRUST IS NOT AN INVESTMENT COMPANY OR COMMODITY POOL AND WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO REGULATION UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED, OR THE COMMODITY EXCHANGE ACT — |
Accordingly, you will not benefit from any regulatory protections afforded to persons who invest in regulated investment companies or commodity pools.
| · | THE NOTES ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SILVER WITH RESPECT TO THE iSHARES® SILVER TRUST — |
The iShares® Silver Trust seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of silver, less the iShares® Silver Trust’s expenses and liabilities. The price of silver is primarily affected by global demand for and supply of silver. Silver prices can fluctuate widely and may be affected by numerous factors. These include general economic trends, increases in silver hedging activity by silver producers, significant changes in attitude by speculators and investors in silver, technical developments, substitution issues and regulation, as well as specific factors including industrial and jewelry demand, expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, the relative strength of the U.S. dollar (the currency in which the price of silver is generally quoted) and other currencies, interest rates,
PS-8 | Structured Investments Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Least Performing of the iShares® Silver Trust, the iShares® Semiconductor ETF and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index | |
central bank sales, forward sales by producers, global or regional political or economic events and production costs and disruptions in major silver-producing countries, such as Mexico, China and Peru. The demand for and supply of silver affect silver prices, but not necessarily in the same manner as supply and demand affect the prices of other commodities. The supply of silver consists of a combination of new mine production and existing stocks of bullion and fabricated silver held by governments, public and private financial institutions, industrial organizations and private individuals. In addition, the price of silver has on occasion been subject to very rapid short-term changes due to speculative activities. From time to time, above-ground inventories of silver may also influence the market. The major end uses for silver include industrial applications, jewelry and silverware. It is not possible to predict the aggregate effect of all or any combination of these factors.
| · | THERE ARE RISKS RELATING TO COMMODITIES TRADING ON THE LBMA WITH RESPECT TO THE iSHARES® SILVER TRUST — |
The iShares® Silver Trust seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of silver, less the iShares® Silver Trust’s expenses and liabilities. The price of silver is determined by the LBMA or an independent service provider appointed by the LBMA. The LBMA is a self-regulatory association of bullion market participants. Although all market-making members of the LBMA are supervised by the Bank of England and are required to satisfy a capital adequacy test, the LBMA itself is not a regulated entity. If the LBMA should cease operations, or if bullion trading should become subject to a value added tax or other tax or any other form of regulation currently not in place, the role of the LBMA silver price as a global benchmark for the value of silver may be adversely affected. The LBMA is a principals’ market, which operates in a manner more closely analogous to an over-the-counter physical commodity market than regulated futures markets, and certain features of U.S. futures contracts are not present in the context of LBMA trading. For example, there are no daily price limits on the LBMA which would otherwise restrict fluctuations in the prices of LBMA contracts. In a declining market, it is possible that prices would continue to decline without limitation within a trading day or over a period of trading days. The LBMA may alter, discontinue or suspend calculation or dissemination of the LBMA silver price, which could adversely affect the value of the notes. The LBMA, or an independent service provider appointed by the LBMA, will have no obligation to consider your interests in calculating or revising the LBMA silver price.
| · | SINGLE COMMODITY PRICES TEND TO BE MORE VOLATILE THAN, AND MAY NOT CORRELATE WITH, THE PRICES OF COMMODITIES GENERALLY — |
The iShares® Silver Trust is linked to a single commodity and not to a diverse basket of commodities or a broad-based commodity index. The iShares® Silver Trust’s Underlying Commodity may not correlate to the price of commodities generally and may diverge significantly from the prices of commodities generally. As a result, the notes carry greater risk and may be more volatile than notes linked to the prices of more commodities or a broad-based commodity index.
| · | THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE iSHARES® SEMICONDUCTOR ETF — |
The iShares® Semiconductor ETF is subject to management risk, which is the risk that the investment strategies of the iShares® Semiconductor ETF’s investment adviser, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. These constraints could adversely affect the market price of the shares of the iShares® Semiconductor ETF and, consequently, the value of the notes.
| · | RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY WITH RESPECT TO THE iSHARES® SEMICONDUCTOR ETF — |
All or substantially all of the equity securities held by the iShares® Semiconductor ETF are issued by companies whose primary line of business is directly associated with the semiconductor industry. As a result, the value of the notes may be subject to greater volatility and be more adversely affected by a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting this industry than a different investment linked to securities of a more broadly diversified group of issuers. Semiconductor companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Semiconductor companies typically face intense competition, potentially rapid product obsolescence and high capital costs and are dependent on third-party suppliers and the availability of materials. They are also heavily dependent on intellectual property rights and may be adversely affected by loss or impairment of those rights. Semiconductor companies are also affected by the economic performance of their customers. These factors could affect the semiconductor industry and could affect the value of the equity securities held by the iShares® Semiconductor ETF and the price of the iShares® Semiconductor ETF during the term of the notes, which may adversely affect the value of your notes.
| · | NON-U.S. SECURITIES RISK WITH RESPECT TO THE iSHARES® SEMICONDUCTOR ETF AND THE INDEX — |
Some or all of the equity securities held by the iShares® Semiconductor ETF and included in the Index have been issued by non-U.S. companies. Investments in securities linked to the value of such non-U.S. equity securities involve risks associated with the home countries and/or the securities markets in the home countries of the issuers of those non-U.S. equity securities. Also, there is generally less publicly available information about companies in some of these jurisdictions than there is about U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC.

| · | THE ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION FOR THE FUNDS IS LIMITED — |
The calculation agent will make adjustments to the Share Adjustment Factor for each Fund for certain events affecting the shares of that Fund. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment in response to all events that could affect the shares of the Funds. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to make an adjustment, the value of the notes may be materially and adversely affected.
| · | EMERGING MARKETS RISK WITH RESPECT TO THE INDEX — |
The equity securities included in the Index have been issued by non-U.S. companies located in emerging markets countries. Countries with emerging markets may have relatively unstable governments, may present the risks of nationalization of businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and prohibitions on the repatriation of assets, and may have less protection of property rights than more developed countries. The economies of countries with emerging markets may be based on only a few industries, may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global trade conditions, and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt burdens or inflation rates. Local securities markets may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at times.
| · | THE NOTES ARE SUBJECT TO CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK WITH RESPECT TO THE INDEX — |
Because the prices of the non-U.S. equity securities included in the Index are converted into U.S. dollars for purposes of calculating the level of the Index, holders of the notes will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the currencies in which the non-U.S. equity securities included in the Index trade. Your net exposure will depend on the extent to which those currencies strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar and the relative weight of equity securities included in the Index denominated in each of those currencies. If, taking into account the relevant weighting, the U.S. dollar strengthens against those currencies, the level of the Index will be adversely affected and any payment on the notes may be reduced.
| · | RECENT EXECUTIVE ORDERS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE INDEX — |
Pursuant to recent executive orders, U.S. persons are prohibited from engaging in transactions in, or possession of, publicly traded securities of certain companies that are determined to be linked to the People’s Republic of China military, intelligence and security apparatus, or securities that are derivative of, or are designed to provide investment exposure to, those securities. The sponsor of the Index recently removed the equity securities of a small number of companies from the Index in response to these executive orders. If the issuer of any of the equity securities included in the Index is in the future designated as such a prohibited company, the value of that company may be adversely affected, perhaps significantly, which would adversely affect the performance of the Index. In addition, under these circumstances, the sponsor of the Index is expected to remove the equity securities of that company from the Index. Any changes to the composition of the Index in response to these executive orders could adversely affect the performance of the Index.

The Underlyings
The iShares® Silver Trust is an investment trust sponsored by iShares® Delaware Trust Sponsor LLC. The iShares® Silver Trust seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of silver, less the iShares® Silver Trust’s expenses and liabilities. The assets of the iShares® Silver Trust consists primarily of silver held by a custodian on behalf of the iShares® Silver Trust. We refer to silver as the Underlying Commodity with respect to the iShares® Silver Trust. For additional information about the iShares® Silver Trust, see “Fund Descriptions — The iShares® Silver Trust” in the accompanying underlying supplement.
The iShares® Semiconductor ETF is an exchange-traded fund of iShares® Trust, a registered investment company, that seeks to track the investment results, before fees and expenses, of an index composed of U.S.-listed equities in the semiconductor sector, which we refer to as the Underlying Index with respect to the iShares® Semiconductor ETF. The Underlying Index with respect to the iShares® Semiconductor ETF is currently the ICE Semiconductor Index. The ICE Semiconductor Index is a modified float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to track the performance of the thirty largest U.S.-listed semiconductor companies. For additional information about the iShares® Semiconductor ETF, see “Fund Descriptions — The iShares® ETFs” in the accompanying underlying supplement.
The Index is a free-float adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of global emerging markets. For additional information about the Index, see “Equity Index Descriptions — The MSCI Indices” in the accompanying underlying supplement.
Historical Information
The following graphs set forth the historical performance of each Underlying based on the weekly historical closing values from January 4, 2019 through September 20, 2024. The closing value of the iShares® Silver Trust Index on September 23, 2024 was $27.98. The closing value of the iShares® Semiconductor ETF on September 23, 2024 was $224.54. The closing value of the Index on September 23, 2024 was 1,110.66. We obtained the closing values above and below from the Bloomberg Professional® service (“Bloomberg”), without independent verification. The closing values of the Funds above and below may have been adjusted by Bloomberg for actions taken by the Funds, such as stock splits.
The historical closing values of each Underlying should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the closing values of any Underlying on the Pricing Date or any Review Date. There can be no assurance that the performance of the Underlyings will result in the return of any of your principal amount or the payment of any interest.

Tax Treatment
You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 4-I. In determining our reporting responsibilities we intend to treat (i) the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons and (ii) any Contingent Interest Payments as ordinary income, as described in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Notes Treated as Prepaid Forward Contracts with Associated Contingent Coupons” in the accompanying product supplement. Based on the advice of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, our special tax counsel, we believe that this is a reasonable treatment, but that there are other reasonable treatments that the IRS or a court may adopt, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the notes could be materially affected. In addition, in 2007 Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require investors in these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments and the relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially affect the tax consequences of an investment in the notes, possibly with retroactive effect. The discussions above and in the accompanying product supplement do not address the consequences to taxpayers subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the notice described above.
PS-12 | Structured Investments Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Least Performing of the iShares® Silver Trust, the iShares® Semiconductor ETF and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index | |
Non-U.S. Holders — Tax Considerations. The U.S. federal income tax treatment of Contingent Interest Payments is uncertain, and although we believe it is reasonable to take a position that Contingent Interest Payments are not subject to U.S. withholding tax (at least if an applicable Form W-8 is provided), it is expected that withholding agents will (and we, if we are the withholding agent, intend to) withhold on any Contingent Interest Payment paid to a Non-U.S. Holder generally at a rate of 30% or at a reduced rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty under an “other income” or similar provision. We will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts withheld. In order to claim an exemption from, or a reduction in, the 30% withholding tax, a Non-U.S. Holder of the notes must comply with certification requirements to establish that it is not a U.S. person and is eligible for such an exemption or reduction under an applicable tax treaty. If you are a Non-U.S. Holder, you should consult your tax adviser regarding the tax treatment of the notes, including the possibility of obtaining a refund of any withholding tax and the certification requirement described above.
Section 871(m) of the Code and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 871(m)”) generally impose a 30% withholding tax (unless an income tax treaty applies) on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid to Non-U.S. Holders with respect to certain financial instruments linked to U.S. equities or indices that include U.S. equities. Section 871(m) provides certain exceptions to this withholding regime, including for instruments linked to certain broad-based indices that meet requirements set forth in the applicable Treasury regulations. Additionally, a recent IRS notice excludes from the scope of Section 871(m) instruments issued prior to January 1, 2027 that do not have a delta of one with respect to underlying securities that could pay U.S.-source dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes (each an “Underlying Security”). Based on certain determinations made by us, we expect that Section 871(m) will not apply to the notes with regard to Non-U.S. Holders. Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination. Section 871(m) is complex and its application may depend on your particular circumstances, including whether you enter into other transactions with respect to an Underlying Security. If necessary, further information regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) will be provided in the pricing supplement for the notes. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to the notes.
In the event of any withholding on the notes, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so withheld.
The Estimated Value of the Notes
The estimated value of the notes 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 notes, valued using the internal funding rate described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes. The estimated value of the notes does not represent a minimum price at which JPMS would be willing to buy your notes in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied funding rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference may be based on, among other things, our and our affiliates’ view of the funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the notes in comparison to those costs for the conventional fixed income instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any secondary market prices of the notes. For additional information, see “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Estimated Value of the Notes Is Derived by Reference to an Internal Funding Rate” in this pricing supplement.
The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes is derived from internal pricing models of our affiliates. 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 estimated value of the notes is determined when the terms of the notes are set based on market conditions and other relevant factors and assumptions existing at that time.
The estimated value of the notes does not represent future values of the notes and may differ from others’ estimates. Different pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations for the notes that are greater than or less than the estimated value of the notes. 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 notes could change significantly based on, among other things, changes in market conditions, our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness, interest rate movements and other relevant factors, which may impact the price, if any, at which JPMS would be willing to buy notes from you in secondary market transactions.
The estimated value of the notes will be lower than the original issue price of the notes because costs associated with structuring and hedging the notes are included in the original issue price of the notes. These costs include the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging our
PS-13 | Structured Investments Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Least Performing of the iShares® Silver Trust, the iShares® Semiconductor ETF and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index | |
obligations under the notes. 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. A portion of the profits, if any, realized in hedging our obligations under the notes may be allowed to other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, and we or one or more of our affiliates will retain any remaining hedging profits. See “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Estimated Value of the Notes Will Be Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to Public) of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes
For information about factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the notes, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — Secondary market prices of the notes will be impacted by many economic and market factors” in the accompanying product supplement. In addition, we generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the notes will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period. These costs can include projected hedging profits, if any, and, in some circumstances, estimated hedging costs and our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances. This initial predetermined time period is intended to be the shorter of six months and one-half of the stated term of the notes. The length of any such initial period reflects the structure of the notes, whether our affiliates expect to earn a profit in connection with our hedging activities, the estimated costs of hedging the notes and when these costs are incurred, as determined by our affiliates. See “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Value of the Notes as Published by JPMS (and Which May Be Reflected on Customer Account Statements) May Be Higher Than the Then-Current Estimated Value of the Notes for a Limited Time Period” in this pricing supplement.
Supplemental Use of Proceeds
The notes are offered to meet investor demand for products that reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the notes. See “How the Notes Work” and “Hypothetical Payout Examples” in this pricing supplement for an illustration of the risk-return profile of the notes and “The Underlyings” in this pricing supplement for a description of the market exposure provided by the notes.
The original issue price of the notes is equal to the estimated value of the notes plus (minus) the projected profits (losses) that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes, plus the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes.
Additional Terms Specific to the Notes
You may revoke your offer to purchase the notes at any time prior to the time at which we accept such offer by notifying the applicable agent. We reserve the right to change the terms of, or reject any offer to purchase, the notes prior to their issuance. In the event of any changes to the terms of the notes, we will notify you and you will be asked to accept such changes in connection with your purchase. You may also choose to reject such changes, in which case we may reject your offer to purchase.
