Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase &
Co.
The
Dual Directional Trigger PLUS, or “Trigger PLUS,” will pay no
interest and do not guarantee any return of your principal at
maturity. At maturity, if the ETF Shares have appreciated in
price, investors will receive the stated principal amount of their
investment plus leveraged upside performance of the ETF Shares,
subject to a maximum upside payment at maturity. If the ETF Shares
have depreciated in price but by no more than 20%, investors
will receive at maturity the stated principal amount of the Trigger
PLUS plus an unleveraged positive return equal to the
absolute value of the percentage decline, which will effectively be
limited to a positive 20% return. However, if the ETF Shares have
depreciated in price by more than 20% in value, at maturity
investors will lose the benefit of the absolute return feature and
will lose 1% of the stated principal amount for every 1% of decline
in the price of the ETF Shares over the term of the Trigger PLUS.
The Trigger PLUS are for investors who are willing to risk their
principal and forgo current income and upside above the maximum
upside payment at maturity in exchange for the leverage and
absolute return features that in each case apply to a limited range
of the performance of the ETF Shares. The Trigger PLUS are
unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase
Financial Company LLC, which we refer to as JPMorgan Financial, the
payment on which is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by
JPMorgan Chase & Co., issued as part of JPMorgan Financial’s
Medium-Term Notes, Series A, program. Any payment on the Trigger
PLUS is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial, as issuer
of the Trigger PLUS, and the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase &
Co., as guarantor of the Trigger PLUS. The investor may lose some
or all of the stated principal amount of the Trigger PLUS.

Key Investment Rationale
Trigger PLUS offer leveraged upside exposure to an underlying asset
and the opportunity, through the absolute return feature, to earn a
positive return at maturity for a limited range of negative
performance of the underlying asset. At maturity, if the underlying
asset has appreciated, investors will receive the stated
principal amount of their investment plus leveraged upside
performance of the underlying asset, subject to the maximum upside
payment at maturity. At maturity, if the underlying asset has
depreciated in value but by no more than 20%, investors will
receive the stated principal amount of their investment plus an
unleveraged positive return equal to the absolute value of the
percentage decline in the underlying asset, which will effectively
be limited to a positive 20% return. However, at maturity, if the
underlying asset has depreciated in value by more than 20%,
investors will lose the benefit of the absolute return feature and
will lose 1% of the stated principal amount for every 1% of
decline, without any buffer. Investors may lose some or all of
the stated principal amount of the Trigger PLUS.
Leveraged Upside
Performance |
The
Trigger PLUS offer investors an opportunity to capture enhanced
returns for a certain range of positive performance relative to a
direct investment in the ETF Shares. |
Absolute
Return Feature |
The Trigger
PLUS offer investors an opportunity to earn an unleveraged positive
return if the final share price is less than or equal to the
initial share price but is greater than or equal to the
trigger level. |
Upside
Scenario if the ETF Shares Appreciates |
The final share
price is greater than the initial share price and, at maturity, the
Trigger PLUS pay the stated principal amount of $1,000 plus
a return equal to 200% of the share percent change, subject to the
maximum upside payment at maturity of $1,174.00 (117.40% of the
stated principal amount) per Trigger PLUS. |
Absolute
Return Scenario |
The final share
price is less than or equal to the initial share price but is
greater than or equal to the trigger level, which is 80% of the
initial share price. In this case, the Trigger PLUS pay
a 1% positive return for each 1% negative return of the ETF
Shares. For example, if the final share price is 5% less
than the initial share price, the Trigger PLUS will provide a total
positive return of 5% at maturity. The maximum return
you may receive in this scenario is a positive 20% return at
maturity. |
Downside
Scenario |
The final share
price is less than the trigger level. In this case, the
Trigger PLUS pay an amount that is over 20% less than the stated
principal amount and this decrease will be by an amount that is
proportionate to the percentage decline in the final share price
from the initial share price. (Example: if the ETF
Shares decrease in value by 30%, the Trigger PLUS will pay an
amount that is less than the stated principal amount by 30%, or
$700.00 per Trigger PLUS.) |

How it works
|
§ |
Upside
Scenario. If the final share price is greater than the
initial share price, for each $1,000 principal amount Trigger PLUS,
investors will receive the $1,000 stated principal amount
plus a return equal to 200% of the appreciation of the ETF
Shares over the term of the Trigger PLUS, subject to the maximum
upside payment at maturity. Under the terms of the Trigger PLUS, an
investor will realize the maximum upside payment at maturity at a
final share price of 108.70% of the initial share price. |
|
§ |
For example, if the ETF Shares
appreciate 5%, investors will receive a 10% return, or $1,100.00
per Trigger PLUS. |
|
§ |
Absolute
Return Scenario. If the final share price is less than
or equal to the initial share price but is greater than or equal to
the trigger level, investors will receive a 1% positive return on
the Trigger PLUS for each 1% negative return of the ETF
Shares. |
|
§ |
For example, if the ETF Shares
depreciate 5%, investors will receive a 5% return, or $1,050.00 per
Trigger PLUS. |
|
§ |
The maximum return you may receive in
this scenario is a positive 20% return at maturity. |
|
§ |
Downside
Scenario. If the final share price is less than the
trigger level, investors will lose the benefit of the absolute
return feature and will instead receive an amount that is
significantly less than the stated principal amount by an amount
proportionate to the percentage decrease of the final share price
from the initial share price. This amount will be less than 80% of
the stated principal amount per Trigger PLUS. |
|
§ |
For example, if the ETF Shares
depreciate 50%, investors will lose 50% of their principal and
receive only $500.00 per Trigger PLUS at maturity, or 50% of the
stated principal amount. |
The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the Trigger
PLUS shown above apply only if you hold the Trigger PLUS for
their entire term. These hypotheticals do not reflect 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.

Risk Factors
The
following is a non-exhaustive list of certain key risk factors for
investors in the Trigger PLUS. For further discussion
of these and other risks, you should read the sections entitled
“Risk Factors” of the accompanying prospectus supplement and the
accompanying product supplement. We urge you to consult your
investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers in connection
with your investment in the Trigger PLUS.
Risks Relating to the Trigger PLUS Generally
|
§ |
The Trigger PLUS do
not pay interest or guarantee the return of any principal and your
investment in the Trigger PLUS may result in a loss. The
terms of the Trigger PLUS differ from those of ordinary debt
securities in that the Trigger PLUS do not pay interest or
guarantee the payment of any principal amount at maturity. If the
final share price is less than the trigger level (which is 80% of
the initial share price), you will lose the benefit of the absolute
return feature and the payment at maturity will be an amount in
cash that is over 20% less than the stated principal amount of each
Trigger PLUS, and this decrease will be by an amount that is
proportionate to the decrease in the price of the ETF Shares and
may be zero. There is no minimum payment at maturity on the Trigger
PLUS, and, accordingly, you could lose your entire initial
investment in the Trigger PLUS. |
|
§ |
The
appreciation potential of the Trigger PLUS is limited by the
maximum upside payment at maturity if the ETF Shares have
appreciated. The appreciation
potential of the Trigger PLUS is limited by the maximum upside
payment at maturity of $1,174.00 (117.40% of the stated principal
amount) per Trigger PLUS if the ETF Shares have appreciated.
Although the leverage factor provides 200% exposure to any increase
in the final share price as compared to the initial share price on
the valuation date, because the maximum upside payment at maturity
will be limited to 117.40% of the stated principal amount for the
Trigger PLUS, any increase in the final share price by more than
8.70% will not further increase the return on the Trigger
PLUS. |
|
§ |
Your
maximum downside gain on the Trigger PLUS is limited by the trigger
level. If the final share price is less than or equal to
the initial share price and greater than or equal to the trigger
level, you will receive at maturity $1,000 plus a return
equal to the absolute share return, which will reflect a 1%
positive return for each 1% negative return on the ETF Shares,
subject to an effective limit of 20%. Because you will not
receive a positive return if the ETF Shares have depreciated below
the trigger level, your maximum downside payment will be $1,200.00
per $1,000.00 stated principal amount Trigger PLUS. |
|
§ |
The Trigger PLUS are
subject to the credit risks of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan
Chase & Co., and any actual or anticipated changes to our or
JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s credit ratings or credit spreads may
adversely affect the market value of the Trigger PLUS.
Investors are dependent on our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s
ability to pay all amounts due on the Trigger PLUS. Any actual or
anticipated decline in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s credit
ratings or increase in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s credit
spreads determined by the market for taking that credit risk is
likely to adversely affect the market value of the Trigger PLUS. If
we and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were to default on our payment
obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the
Trigger PLUS 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. Aside from the
initial capital contribution from JPMorgan Chase & Co.,
substantially all of our assets relate to obligations of our
affiliates to make payments under loans made by us or other
intercompany agreements. As a result, we are dependent upon
payments from our affiliates to meet our obligations under the
Trigger PLUS. If these affiliates do not make payments to us and we
fail to make payments on the Trigger PLUS, you may have to seek
payment under the related guarantee by JPMorgan Chase & Co.,
and that guarantee will rank pari passu with all other
unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase &
Co. |
|
§ |
The
benefit provided by the trigger level may terminate on the
valuation date. If the final
share price is less than the trigger level, the benefit provided by
the trigger level will terminate and you will be fully exposed to
any depreciation of the ETF Shares. |
|
§ |
Secondary trading
may be limited. The Trigger PLUS will not be
listed on a securities exchange. There may be little or no
secondary market for the Trigger PLUS. Even if there is a secondary
market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade
or sell the Trigger PLUS easily.
JPMS may act as a market maker for the Trigger PLUS, but is
not required to do so. Because we do not expect that other market
makers will participate significantly in the secondary market for
the Trigger PLUS, the price at which you may be able to trade your
Trigger PLUS is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which
JPMS
is willing to buy the Trigger PLUS. If at any time JPMS
or another agent does not act as a market maker, it is likely that
there would be little or no secondary market for the Trigger
PLUS. |

§ |
The tax consequences of an
investment in the Trigger PLUS are uncertain. There is no
direct legal authority as to the proper U.S. federal income tax
characterization of the Trigger PLUS, and we do not intend to
request a ruling from the IRS. The IRS might not accept, and a
court might not uphold, the treatment of the Trigger PLUS described
in “Additional Information about the Trigger PLUS ― Additional
Provisions ― Tax considerations” in this document and in “Material
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product
supplement. If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative
treatment for the Trigger PLUS, the timing and character of any
income or loss on the Trigger PLUS could differ materially and
adversely from our description herein. |
Even if the treatment of the Trigger PLUS is respected, the IRS may
assert that the Trigger PLUS constitute “constructive ownership
transactions” within the meaning of Section 1260 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), in which case any
gain recognized in respect of the Trigger PLUS that would otherwise
be long-term capital gain and that is in excess of the “net
underlying long-term capital gain” (as defined in Section 1260)
would be treated as ordinary income, and a notional interest charge
would apply as if that income had accrued for tax purposes at a
constant yield over your holding period for the Trigger PLUS. Our
special tax counsel has not expressed an opinion with respect to
whether the constructive ownership rules apply to the Trigger
PLUS.
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; the
relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property
to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which
income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S.
investors should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these
instruments are or should be subject to the constructive ownership
regime described above. 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 and adversely affect the tax
consequences of an investment in the Trigger PLUS, possibly with
retroactive effect.
You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S.
Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product
supplement and consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal
income tax consequences of an investment in the Trigger PLUS,
including the potential application of the constructive ownership
rules, possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by
this notice.
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest
|
§ |
Economic interests of the issuer, the guarantor, the
calculation agent, the agent of the offering of the Trigger PLUS
and other affiliates of the issuer may be different from those of
investors. We
and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the
issuance of the Trigger PLUS, including acting as calculation agent
and as an agent of the offering of the Trigger PLUS, hedging our
obligations under the Trigger PLUS and making the assumptions used
to determine the pricing of the Trigger PLUS and the estimated
value of the Trigger PLUS, which we refer to as the estimated value
of the Trigger PLUS. In performing these duties, our and JPMorgan
Chase & Co.’s economic interests and the economic interests of
the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially
adverse to your interests as an investor in the Trigger
PLUS. The calculation agent has determined the initial index
value and the trigger level, will determine the final share price
and will calculate the amount of payment you will receive at
maturity, if any. Determinations made by the calculation agent,
including with respect to the occurrence or non-occurrence of
market disruption events, the selection of a successor to the ETF
Shares or calculation of the final share price in the event of a
discontinuation of the ETF Shares, and any anti-dilution
adjustments, may affect the payment to you at maturity. |
In
addition, our
and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s business activities, including
hedging and trading activities, could cause our and JPMorgan Chase
& Co.’s economic interests to be adverse to yours and could
adversely affect any payment on the Trigger PLUS and the value of
the Trigger PLUS. It is possible that hedging or trading activities
of ours or our affiliates in connection with the Trigger PLUS could
result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the
value of the Trigger PLUS declines. Please refer to “Risk Factors —
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest” in the accompanying
product supplement for additional information about these
risks.
|
§ |
Hedging and trading activities by the issuer and its
affiliates could potentially affect the value of the Trigger
PLUS. The hedging or trading activities of the issuer’s
affiliates and of any other hedging counterparty with respect to
the Trigger
PLUS on or prior to the pricing date and prior to maturity could
have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, the
value of the ETF Shares and, as a result, could decrease the amount
an investor may receive on the Trigger PLUS at maturity, if any.
Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to
the pricing date could have affected the initial share price and
the trigger level and, therefore, could potentially increase the
price that the final share price must reach before you receive a
payment at maturity that exceeds the issue price of the Trigger
PLUS or so that you |

Principal at Risk Securities
do not suffer a loss on your initial investment in the Trigger
PLUS. Additionally, these hedging or trading activities during the
term of the Trigger
PLUS, including on the valuation date, could adversely
affect the final share price and, accordingly, the payment to you
at maturity, if any. It is possible that these hedging or trading
activities could result in substantial returns for us or our
affiliates while the value of the Trigger PLUS declines.
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices
of the Trigger PLUS
|
§ |
The
estimated value of the Trigger PLUS is lower than the original
issue price (price to public) of the Trigger PLUS. The estimated value of the Trigger PLUS is
only an estimate determined by reference to several factors. The
original issue price of the Trigger PLUS exceeds the estimated
value of the Trigger PLUS because costs associated with selling,
structuring and hedging the Trigger PLUS are included in the
original issue price of the Trigger PLUS. These costs include the
selling commissions, the structuring fee, the projected profits, if
any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks
inherent in hedging our obligations under the Trigger PLUS and the
estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the Trigger PLUS.
See “Additional Information about the Trigger PLUS — The estimated
value of the Trigger PLUS” in this document. |
|
§ |
The
estimated value of the Trigger PLUS does not represent future
values of the Trigger PLUS and may differ from others’
estimates. The estimated
value of the Trigger PLUS is determined by reference to internal
pricing models of our affiliates. This estimated value of the
Trigger PLUS is based on market conditions and other relevant
factors existing at the time of pricing and assumptions about
market parameters, which can include volatility, dividend rates,
interest rates and other factors. Different pricing models and
assumptions could provide valuations for the Trigger PLUS that are
greater than or less than the estimated value of the Trigger PLUS.
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 Trigger PLUS 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 the
Trigger PLUS from you in secondary market transactions. See
“Additional Information about the Trigger PLUS — The estimated
value of the Trigger PLUS” in this document. |
|
§ |
The
estimated value of the Trigger PLUS is derived by reference to an
internal funding rate. The
internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated
value of the Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS as well
as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability
management costs of the Trigger PLUS 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
Trigger PLUS. The use of an internal funding rate and any potential
changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the
Trigger PLUS and any secondary market prices of the Trigger PLUS.
See “Additional Information about the Trigger PLUS — The estimated
value of the Trigger PLUS” in this document. |
|
§ |
The
value of the Trigger PLUS as published by JPMS (and which may be
reflected on customer account statements) may be higher than the
then-current estimated value of the Trigger PLUS for a limited time
period. We generally expect
that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the
Trigger PLUS will be partially paid back to you in connection with
any repurchases of your Trigger PLUS by JPMS in an amount that will
decline to zero over an initial predetermined period. These costs
can include selling commissions, the structuring fee, projected
hedging profits, if any, and, in some circumstances, estimated
hedging costs and our internal secondary market funding rates for
structured debt issuances. See “Additional Information about the
Trigger PLUS — Secondary market prices of the Trigger PLUS” in this
document for additional information relating to this initial
period. Accordingly, the estimated value of your Trigger PLUS
during this initial period may be lower than the value of the
Trigger PLUS as published by JPMS (and which may be shown on your
customer account statements). |
|
§ |
Secondary market
prices of the Trigger PLUS will likely be lower than the original
issue price of the Trigger PLUS. Any secondary market prices of the Trigger
PLUS will likely be lower than the original issue price of the
Trigger PLUS 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 selling commissions, the structuring fee,
projected hedging profits, if any, and estimated hedging costs that
are included in the original issue price of the Trigger PLUS. As a
result, the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy
Trigger PLUS 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. See the immediately following risk factor for information
about additional factors that will impact any secondary market
prices of the Trigger PLUS. |

The Trigger PLUS are not designed
to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be
able and willing to hold your Trigger PLUS to maturity. See “—
Risks Relating to the Trigger PLUS Generally — Secondary trading
may be limited” above.
|
§ |
Secondary market
prices of the Trigger PLUS will be impacted by many economic and
market factors. The secondary market price of the
Trigger PLUS 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 selling commissions, structuring fee,
projected hedging profits, if any, estimated hedging costs and the
price of the ETF Shares, including: |
|
o |
any actual or potential change in our or JPMorgan Chase &
Co.’s creditworthiness or credit spreads; |
|
o |
customary bid-ask spreads for similarly sized trades; |
|
o |
our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt
issuances; |
|
o |
the actual and expected volatility of the ETF Shares; |
|
o |
the time to maturity of the Trigger PLUS; |
|
o |
the dividend rates on the ETF Shares and the equity securities
underlying the ETF Shares; |
|
o |
interest and yield rates in the market generally; |
|
o |
the occurrence of certain events
to the ETF Shares that may or may not require an adjustment to the
share adjustment factor; and |
|
o |
a variety of other economic,
financial, political, regulatory and judicial events. |
Additionally, independent pricing vendors and/or third party
broker-dealers may publish a price for the Trigger PLUS, which may
also be reflected on customer account statements. This price may be
different (higher or lower) than the price of the Trigger PLUS, if
any, at which JPMS may be willing to purchase your Trigger PLUS in
the secondary market.
Risks Relating to the ETF Shares
|
§ |
Investing in the
Trigger PLUS is not equivalent to investing in the ETF Shares.
Investing in the Trigger PLUS is
not equivalent to investing in the ETF Shares, the index tracked by
the ETF Shares, which we refer to as the underlying index, or the
stocks underlying the ETF Shares or the underlying index. Investors
in the Trigger PLUS will not have voting rights or rights to
receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with
respect to the ETF Shares, the reference index or the stocks held
by the ETF Shares or the underlying index. |
|
§ |
Adjustments to the
ETF Shares or the underlying index could adversely affect the value
of the Trigger PLUS. Those responsible for calculating
and maintaining the ETF Shares and the underlying index, can add,
delete or substitute the components of the ETF Shares or the
underlying index, or make other methodological changes that could
change the value of the ETF Shares or the underlying index. Any of
these actions could adversely affect the price of the ETF Shares
and, consequently, the value of the Trigger PLUS. |
|
§ |
There are risks associated with the ETF Shares. Although
the ETF Shares are listed for trading on a securities exchange and
a number of similar products have been traded on various securities
exchanges for varying periods of time, there is no assurance that
an active trading market will continue for the ETF Shares or that
there will be liquidity in the trading market. The ETF Shares are
subject to management risk, which is the risk that the investment
strategy of the investment adviser to the ETF Shares, 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 ETF Shares and, consequently, the
value of the Trigger PLUS. |
|
§ |
The
performance and market value of the ETF Shares, particularly during
periods of market volatility, may not correlate with the
performance of the underlying index as well as the net asset value
per ETF Share. The iShares® Russell 2000
Value ETF does not fully replicate the underlying index and may
hold securities different from those included in the underlying
index. In addition, the performance of the ETF Shares will reflect
additional transaction costs and fees that are not included in the
calculation of the underlying index. All of these factors may lead
to a lack of correlation between the performance of the ETF Shares
and the underlying index. In addition, corporate actions with
respect to the equity securities underlying the ETF Shares (such as
mergers and spin-offs) may impact the variance between the
performances of the ETF Shares and the underlying index. Finally,
because the ETF Shares are |
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC
Dual Directional Trigger PLUS Based on the Performance of the
iShares® Russell 2000 Value
ETF due December 5, 2024
Trigger Performance Leveraged Upside SecuritiesSM
Principal at Risk Securities
traded on a securities exchange and are subject to market supply
and investor demand, the market value of one ETF Share may differ
from the net asset value per ETF Share.
During periods of market volatility, securities underlying the ETF
Shares may be unavailable in the secondary market, market
participants may be unable to calculate accurately the net asset
value per ETF Share and the liquidity of the ETF Shares may be
adversely affected. This kind of market volatility may also disrupt
the ability of market participants to create and redeem ETF Shares.
Further, market volatility may adversely affect, sometimes
materially, the prices at which market participants are willing to
buy and sell ETF Shares. As a result, under these circumstances,
the market value of ETF Shares may vary substantially from the net
asset value per ETF Share. For all of the foregoing reasons, the
performance of the ETF Shares may not correlate with the
performance of the underlying index as well as its net asset value
per ETF Share, which could materially and adversely affect the
value of the Trigger PLUS in the secondary market and/or reduce any
payment on the Trigger PLUS.
|
§ |
The Trigger PLUS are subject to risks associated with small
capitalization stocks. The stocks underlying the ETF
Shares are issued by companies with relatively small market
capitalization. The stock prices of smaller companies may be
more volatile than stock prices of large capitalization
companies. Small capitalization companies may be less able to
withstand adverse economic, market, trade and competitive
conditions relative to larger companies. Small capitalization
companies are less likely to pay dividends on their stocks, and the
presence of a dividend payment could be a factor that limits
downward stock price pressure under adverse market conditions. |
|
§ |
The investment strategy represented by ETF Shares may not be
successful. The
iShares® Russell 2000 Value ETF seeks to track the
investment results, before fees and expenses, of an index composed
of small capitalization U.S. equities that exhibit value
characteristics, which is currently the Russell 2000®
Value Index. The Russell 2000® Value Index
measures the capitalization-weighted price performance of the
stocks included in the Russell 2000® Index that are
determined by FTSE Russell to be value oriented, with lower
price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. A
“value” investment strategy is premised on the goal of investing in
stocks that are determined to be relatively cheap or “undervalued”
under the assumption that the value of those stocks will increase
over time as the market comes to reflect the “fair” market value of
those stocks. However, the value characteristics referenced
by the Russell 2000® Value Index may not be accurate
predictors of undervalued stocks, and there is no guarantee that
undervalued stocks will appreciate. In addition, the Russell
2000® Value Index’s selection methodology includes a
significant bias against stocks with strong growth characteristics,
and stocks with strong growth characteristics may outperform stocks
with weak growth characteristics. There is no assurance that
the iShares® Russell 2000 Value ETF will outperform any
other index, exchange-traded fund or strategy that tracks U.S.
stocks selected using other criteria and may underperform the
Russell 2000® Index as a whole. It is possible
that the stock selection methodology of the Russell
2000® Value Index will adversely affect its return and,
consequently, the level of the Russell 2000® Value
Index, the price of the ETF Shares and the value and return of the
Trigger PLUS. |
|
§ |
Governmental legislative and regulatory actions, including
sanctions, could adversely affect your investment in the Trigger
PLUS. Governmental legislative and regulatory actions,
including, without limitation, sanctions-related actions by the
U.S. or a foreign government, could prohibit or otherwise restrict
persons from holding the Trigger PLUS or the ETF Shares, or
engaging in transactions in them, and any such action could
adversely affect the value of the Trigger PLUS or the ETF
Shares. These legislative and regulatory actions could result
in restrictions on the Trigger PLUS. You may lose a
significant portion or all of your initial investment in the
Trigger PLUS if you are forced to divest the Trigger PLUS due to
the government mandates, especially if such divestment must be made
at a time when the value of the Trigger PLUS has
declined. |
|
§ |
The
anti-dilution protection for the ETF Shares is limited.
The calculation agent will make
adjustments to the share adjustment factor for certain events
affecting the ETF Shares. However, the calculation agent will not
make an adjustment in response to all events that could affect the
ETF Shares. If an event occurs that does not require the
calculation agent to make an adjustment, the value of the Trigger
PLUS may be materially and adversely affected. |

The
estimated value of the Trigger PLUS: |
The estimated value of the Trigger PLUS set forth on the cover of
this document 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 Trigger PLUS, valued using the internal
funding rate described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives
underlying the economic terms of the Trigger PLUS. The estimated
value of the Trigger PLUS does not represent a minimum price at
which JPMS would be willing to buy your Trigger PLUS in any
secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The internal funding
rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the
Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS as well as the higher issuance,
operational and ongoing liability management costs of the Trigger
PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS. The use of an
internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may
have an adverse effect on the terms of the Trigger PLUS and any
secondary market prices of the Trigger PLUS. For additional
information, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Estimated
Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Trigger PLUS — The
estimated value of the Trigger PLUS is derived by reference to an
internal funding rate” in this document. The value of the
derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the
Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS
on the pricing date is based on market conditions and other
relevant factors and assumptions existing at that time. See “Risk
Factors — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary
Market Prices of the Trigger PLUS — The estimated value of the
Trigger PLUS does not represent future values of the Trigger PLUS
and may differ from others’ estimates” in this document.
The
estimated value of the Trigger PLUS is lower than the original
issue price of the Trigger PLUS because costs associated with
selling, structuring and hedging the Trigger PLUS are included in
the original issue price of the Trigger PLUS. These costs include
the selling commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or
unaffiliated dealers, the structuring fee, the projected profits,
if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks
inherent in hedging our obligations under the Trigger PLUS and the
estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the Trigger PLUS.
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 Trigger PLUS 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 “Risk
Factors — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary
Market Prices of the Trigger PLUS — The estimated value of the
Trigger PLUS is lower than the original issue price (price to
public) of the Trigger PLUS” in this document.

partially paid back to you in
connection with any repurchases of your Trigger PLUS by JPMS in an
amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined
period that is intended to be the shorter of two years and one-half
of the stated term of the Trigger PLUS. The length of
any such initial period reflects the structure of the Trigger PLUS,
whether our affiliates expect to earn a profit in connection with
our hedging activities, the estimated costs of hedging the Trigger
PLUS and when these costs are incurred, as determined by our
affiliates. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the
Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Trigger PLUS —
The value of the Trigger PLUS as published by JPMS (and which may
be reflected on customer account statements) may be higher than the
then-current estimated value of the Trigger PLUS for a limited time
period.” |
Tax
considerations: |
You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S.
Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product
supplement no. 4-I. The following discussion, when read in
combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of our
special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, regarding the
material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and
disposing of the Trigger PLUS.
Based on current market conditions, in the opinion of our special
tax counsel, your Trigger PLUS should be treated as “open
transactions” that are not debt instruments for U.S. federal income
tax purposes, as more fully described in “Material U.S. Federal
Income Tax Consequences — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Notes
Treated as Open Transactions That Are Not Debt Instruments” in the
accompanying product supplement. Assuming this treatment is
respected, subject to the possible application of the “constructive
ownership” rules, the gain or loss on your Trigger PLUS should be
treated as long-term capital gain or loss if you hold your Trigger
PLUS for more than a year, whether or not you are an initial
purchaser of the Trigger PLUS at the issue price. The Trigger PLUS
could be treated as “constructive ownership transactions” within
the meaning of Section 1260 of the Code, in which case any gain
recognized in respect of the Trigger PLUS that would otherwise be
long-term capital gain and that was in excess of the “net
underlying long-term capital gain” (as defined in Section 1260)
would be treated as ordinary income, and a notional interest charge
would apply as if that income had accrued for tax purposes at a
constant yield over your holding period for the Trigger PLUS. Our
special tax counsel has not expressed an opinion with respect to
whether the constructive ownership rules apply to the Trigger PLUS.
Accordingly, U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers
regarding the potential application of the constructive ownership
rules.
The IRS or a court may not respect the treatment of the Trigger
PLUS described above, in which case the timing and character of any
income or loss on your Trigger PLUS could be materially and
adversely 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; the relevance of factors such as the nature of
the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the
degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals)
realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding
tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the
constructive ownership regime described above. 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 and adversely affect
the tax consequences of an investment in the Trigger PLUS, possibly
with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax adviser
regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment
in the Trigger PLUS, including the potential application of the
constructive ownership rules, possible alternative treatments and
the issues presented by this notice.
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, 2025 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, our special tax counsel
is of the opinion that Section 871(m) should not apply to the
Trigger PLUS 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.
You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential
application of Section 871(m) to the Trigger PLUS.
