You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. MS-1-II. 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 securities.

Based on current market conditions, in the opinion of our special tax counsel, your securities 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, the gain or loss on your securities should be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if you hold your securities for more than a year, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of securities at the issue price. However, the IRS or a court may not respect this treatment of the securities, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the securities 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, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income and impose a notional interest charge. 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 securities, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including 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 securities 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 securities.

The securities are offered to meet investor demand for products that reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the securities. See “How the Enhanced Buffered Jump Securities Work” in this document for an illustration of the risk-return profile of the securities and “Bank of America Corporation Overview” in this document for a description of the market exposure provided by the securities.

The original issue price of the securities is equal to the estimated value of the securities plus the selling commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers and the structuring fee, plus (minus) the projected profits (losses) that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the securities, plus the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the securities.

Subject to regulatory constraints, JPMS intends to use its reasonable efforts to offer to purchase the securities in the secondary market, but is not required to do so. JPMS, acting as agent for JPMorgan Financial, will pay all of the selling commissions it receives from us to Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. In addition, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management will receive a structuring fee as set forth on the cover of this document for each security.

We or our affiliate may enter into swap agreements or related hedge transactions with one of our other affiliates or unaffiliated counterparties in connection with the sale of the securities and JPMS and/or an affiliate may earn additional income as a result of payments pursuant to the swap or related hedge transactions. See “— Supplemental use of proceeds and hedging” above and “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying product supplement.

We expect that delivery of the securities will be made against payment for the securities on or about the original issue date set forth on the front cover of this document, which will be the third business day following the pricing date of the securities (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to that trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade securities on any date prior to two business days before delivery will be required to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisors.

Canada

The securities may be sold only to purchasers purchasing, or deemed to be purchasing, as principal that are accredited investors, as defined in National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions (“NI 45-106”) or subsection 73.3(1) of the Securities Act (Ontario) (the “OSA”), and are permitted clients, as defined in National Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations (“NI-33-103”).

Accordingly, by placing a purchase order for securities, each purchaser of securities in Canada will be deemed to have represented to the issuer, the guarantor and each agent and dealer participating in the sale of the securities that such purchaser:

·        is an “accredited investor” as defined in section 1.1 of NI 45-106 or subsection 73.3(1) of the OSA and is either purchasing the securities as principal for its own account, or is deemed to be purchasing the securities as principal by applicable law;

·        is a “permitted client” as defined in section 1.1 of NI 31-103 and, in particular, if the purchaser is an individual, he or she beneficially owns financial assets (as defined in section 1.1 of NI 45-106) having an aggregate realizable value that, before taxes but net of any related liabilities, exceeds CAD$5,000,000;

·        is not a company or other entity created or being used solely to purchase or hold securities as an “accredited investor”; and

·        is not an “insider” of the issuer or the guarantor and is not registered as a dealer, adviser or otherwise under the securities laws of any province or territory of Canada.

The securities are being distributed in Canada on a private placement basis only and therefore any resale of the securities must be made in accordance with an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the prospectus requirements of applicable securities laws. Each of the issuer and the guarantor is not a reporting issuer in any province or territory in Canada and the securities are not listed on any stock exchange in Canada and there is currently no public market for the securities in Canada. Each of the issuer and the guarantor currently has no intention of becoming a reporting issuer in Canada, filing a prospectus with any securities regulatory authority in Canada to qualify the resale of the securities to the public, or listing its securities on any stock exchange in Canada. Canadian purchasers are advised to seek legal advice prior to any resale of the securities.

Securities legislation in certain provinces or territories of Canada may provide a purchaser with remedies for rescission or damages if this document (including any amendment thereto) contains a misrepresentation, provided that the remedies for rescission or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory for particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.

The issuer, the guarantor, the agents and the dealers are relying on the statutory exemption contained in section 3A.3 of National Instrument 33-105 Underwriting Conflicts (“NI 33-105”),

which provides that the disclosure requirements of NI 33-105 regarding underwriter conflicts of interest in connection with this offering are not applicable.

By purchasing securities, the purchaser acknowledges that the issuer, the guarantor, the agents and the dealers and their respective agents and advisers may each collect, use and disclose its name, telephone number, address, the number and value of any securities purchased and other specified personally identifiable information (the “personal information”), including the principal amount of securities that it has purchased and whether the purchaser is an “insider” of the issuer or the guarantor or a “registrant” for purposes of meeting legal, regulatory and audit requirements and as otherwise permitted or required by law or regulation. By purchasing securities, the purchaser consents to the foregoing collection, use and disclosure of the personal information pertaining to the purchaser.

Furthermore, by purchasing securities, the purchaser acknowledges that the personal information concerning the purchaser (A) will be disclosed to the relevant Canadian securities regulatory authorities and may become available to the public in accordance with the requirements of applicable securities and freedom of information laws and the purchaser consents to the disclosure of the personal information; (B) is being collected indirectly by the applicable Canadian securities regulatory authority under the authority granted to it in securities legislation; and (C) is being collected for the purposes of the administration and enforcement of the applicable Canadian securities legislation. By purchasing securities, the purchaser shall be deemed to have authorized such indirect collection of the personal information by the relevant Canadian securities regulatory authorities.

The purchaser acknowledges that each of the issuer and the guarantor is an entity formed under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of Canada. Some or all of the managers and officers of the issuer or the guarantor may be located outside Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible for purchasers to effect service of process within Canada upon such entity or such persons. All or a substantial portion of the assets of each of the issuer and the guarantor may be located outside of Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible to satisfy a judgment in Canada against the issuer, the guarantor or their respective directors and officers or to enforce a judgment obtained in Canadian courts against the issuer, the guarantor or such persons outside of Canada. The securities will not be governed by the laws of any province or territory of Canada. Accordingly, it may not be possible to enforce securities in accordance with their terms in a Canadian court.
