JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC
Structured Investments
$650,000
Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Common Stock
of MercadoLibre, Inc. due September 26, 2024
Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by JPMorgan
Chase & Co.
|
· |
The notes are designed for investors who seek a Contingent
Interest Payment with respect to each Review Date for which the
closing price of one share of the Reference Stock is greater than
or equal to 65.00% of the Strike Value, which we refer to as the
Interest Barrier. |
|
· |
If the closing price of one share of the Reference Stock is
greater than or equal to the Interest Barrier on any Review Date,
investors will receive, in addition to the Contingent Interest
Payment with respect to that Review Date, any previously unpaid
Contingent Interest Payments for prior Review Dates. |
|
· |
The notes will be automatically called if the closing price of
one share of the Reference Stock on any Review Date (other than the
final Review Date) is greater than or equal to the Strike
Value. |
|
· |
The earliest date on which an automatic call may be initiated
is June 21, 2023. |
|
· |
Investors should be willing to accept the risk of losing some
or all of their principal and the risk that no Contingent Interest
Payment may be made with respect to some or all Review Dates. |
|
· |
Investors should also be willing to forgo fixed interest and
dividend payments, in exchange for the opportunity to receive
Contingent Interest Payments. |
|
· |
The notes 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. Any payment on
the notes is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial, as
issuer of the notes, and the credit risk of JPMorgan
Chase & Co., as guarantor of the notes. |
|
· |
Minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples
thereof |
|
· |
The notes priced on March 22, 2023 (the “Pricing Date”) and are
expected to settle on or about March 27, 2023. The Strike Value
has been determined by reference to the closing price of one share
of the Reference Stock on March 21, 2023 and not by reference to
the closing price of one share of the Reference Stock on the
Pricing Date. |
Investing in the notes involves a number of risks. See “Risk
Factors” beginning on page S-2 of the accompanying prospectus
supplement, “Risk Factors” beginning on page PS-12 of the
accompanying product supplement and “Selected Risk Considerations”
beginning on page PS-4 of this pricing supplement.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any
state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the
notes or passed upon the accuracy or the adequacy of this pricing
supplement or the accompanying product supplement, prospectus
supplement and prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a
criminal offense.

|
Automatic Call:
If the
closing price of one share of the Reference Stock on any Review
Date (other than the final Review Date) is greater than or equal to
the Strike Value, the notes will be automatically called for a cash
payment, for each $1,000 principal amount note, equal to (a) $1,000
plus (b) the Contingent Interest Payment applicable to that
Review Date plus (c) any previously unpaid Contingent
Interest Payments for any prior Review Dates, payable on the
applicable Call Settlement Date. No further payments will be made
on the notes.
Payment at Maturity:
If the
notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value is
greater than or equal to the 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
applicable to the final Review Date plus (c) any previously
unpaid Contingent Interest Payments for any prior Review Dates.
If the
notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value is
less than the Trigger Value, your payment at maturity per $1,000
principal amount note will be calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × Stock Return)
If
the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value is
less than the Trigger Value, you will lose more than 35.00% of your
principal amount at maturity and could lose all of your principal
amount at maturity.
Stock Return:
(Final Value – Strike Value)
Strike Value
Strike
Value: The closing price
of one share of the Reference Stock on the Strike Date, which was
$1,220.42. The Strike Value is not the closing price of
one share of the Reference Stock on the Pricing

Value: The closing price
of one share of the Reference Stock on the final Review
Date
Stock
Adjustment Factor: The Stock Adjustment Factor is
referenced in determining the closing price of one share of the
Reference Stock and is set equal to 1.0 on the Strike Date. The
Stock Adjustment Factor is subject to adjustment upon the
occurrence of certain corporate events affecting the Reference
Stock. See “The Underlyings — Reference Stocks — Anti-Dilution
Adjustments” and “The Underlyings — Reference Stocks —

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 the Contingent Interest Rate of 19.00% per
annum, depending on how many Contingent Interest Payments are made
prior to automatic call or maturity.

Hypothetical Payout Examples
The following examples illustrate payments on the notes linked to a
hypothetical Reference Stock, assuming a range of performances for
the hypothetical Reference Stock on the Review Dates. The
hypothetical payments set forth below assume the following:
|
· |
a Strike Value of $100.00; |
|
· |
an Interest Barrier and a Trigger Value of $65.00 (equal to
65.00% of the hypothetical Strike Value); and |
|
· |
a Contingent Interest Rate of 19.00% per annum (payable at a
rate of 4.75% per quarter). |
The hypothetical Strike Value of $100.00 has been chosen for
illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual Strike
Value. The actual Strike Value is the closing price of one share of
the Reference Stock on the Strike Date and is specified under “Key
Terms — Strike Value” in this pricing supplement. For historical
data regarding the actual closing prices of one share of the
Reference Stock, please see the historical information set forth
under “The Reference Stock” 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 are automatically called on the first Review
Date.

Closing Price |
Payment (per $1,000 principal amount
note) |
First Review Date |
$105.00 |
$1,047.50 |
|
Total Payment |
$1,047.50 (4.75% return) |
Because the closing price of one share of the Reference Stock on
the first Review Date is greater than or equal to the Strike Value,
the notes will be automatically called for a cash payment, for each
$1,000 principal amount note, of $1,047.50 (or $1,000 plus
the Contingent Interest Payment applicable to the first Review
Date), payable on the applicable Call Settlement Date. No further
payments will be made on the notes.

$1,190.00 |
|
Total Payment |
$1,285.00 (28.50% return) |
Because the notes have not been automatically called and the Final
Value is greater than or equal to the Trigger Value, the payment at
maturity, for each $1,000 principal amount note, will be $1,190.00
(or $1,000 plus the Contingent Interest Payment applicable
to the final Review Date plus the unpaid Contingent Interest
Payments for any prior Review Dates). 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
$1,285.00.
Example 3 — Notes have NOT been automatically called and the
Final Value is less than the Trigger Value.

Payment (per $1,000 principal amount
note) |

$0 |
Final Review Date |
$50.00 |
$500.00 |
|
Total Payment |
$500.00 (-50.00% return) |
Because the notes have not been automatically called, the Final
Value is less than the Trigger Value and the Stock Return is
-50.00%, the payment at maturity will be $500.00 per $1,000
principal amount note, calculated as follows:
$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-50.00%)] = $500.00
The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the notes
shown above apply only if you hold the notes for their entire
term or until automatically called. 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.
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 automatically called and the Final Value is less than
the Trigger Value, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your
notes for every 1% that the Final Value is less than the Strike
Value. Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose more
than 35.00% 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 automatically called, we will make a
Contingent Interest Payment with respect to a Review Date (and we
will pay you any previously unpaid Contingent Interest Payments for
any prior Review Dates) only if the closing price of one share of
the Reference Stock on that Review Date is greater than or equal to
the Interest Barrier. If the closing price of one share of the
Reference Stock on that Review Date is less than the Interest
Barrier, no Contingent Interest Payment will be made with respect
to that Review Date. You will not receive any unpaid Contingent
Interest Payments if the closing price of one share of the
Reference Stock on each subsequent Review Date is less than the
Interest Barrier. Accordingly, if the closing price of one share of
the Reference Stock on each Review Date is less than the 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. 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 notes. If these affiliates do not
make payments to us and we fail to make payments on the notes, 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 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 the Reference Stock, which may be
significant. You will not participate in any appreciation of the
Reference Stock.
|
· |
THE BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE TRIGGER VALUE MAY TERMINATE ON
THE FINAL REVIEW DATE — |
If the Final Value is less than the Trigger Value and the notes
have not been automatically called, the benefit provided by the
Trigger Value will terminate and you will be fully exposed to any
depreciation of the Reference Stock.
|
· |
THE AUTOMATIC CALL FEATURE MAY FORCE A POTENTIAL EARLY EXIT
— |
If your notes are automatically called, the term of the notes may
be reduced to as short as approximately three months and you will
not receive any Contingent Interest Payments after the applicable
Call Settlement 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 the notes are called
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 REFERENCE STOCK OR
HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THE REFERENCE STOCK. |
|
· |
THE RISK OF THE CLOSING PRICE OF ONE SHARE OF THE REFERENCE
STOCK FALLING BELOW THE INTEREST BARRIER OR THE TRIGGER VALUE IS
GREATER IF THE PRICE OF ONE SHARE OF THE REFERENCE STOCK IS
VOLATILE. |
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 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.
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest
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 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.

 |
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market
Prices of the Notes
|
· |
THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES IS 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
exceeds the estimated value of the notes because costs associated
with selling, structuring and hedging the notes are included in the
original issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling
commissions, 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 selling commissions,
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 selling
commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, estimated hedging
costs and the price of one share of the Reference Stock.
Additionally, independent pricing vendors and/or third party
broker-dealers may publish a price for the notes, 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 Reference Stock
|
· |
NO AFFILIATION WITH THE REFERENCE STOCK ISSUER — |
We have not independently verified any of the information about the
Reference Stock issuer contained in this pricing supplement. You
should undertake your own investigation into the Reference Stock
and its issuer. We are not responsible for the Reference Stock
issuer’s public disclosure of information, whether contained in SEC
filings or otherwise.
|
· |
EMERGING MARKETS RISK — |
The Reference Stock has been issued by a company conducting its
business primarily in emerging markets (Latin America).
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.
|
· |
THE ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION FOR THE REFERENCE STOCK IS
LIMITED AND MAY BE DISCRETIONARY — |
The calculation agent will not make an adjustment in response to
all events that could affect the Reference Stock. The calculation
agent may make adjustments in response to events that are not
described in the accompanying product supplement to account for any
diluting or concentrative effect, but the calculation agent is
under no obligation to do so or to consider your interests as a
holder of the notes in making these determinations.

The Reference Stock
All information contained herein on the Reference Stock and on
MercadoLibre is derived from publicly available sources, without
independent verification. According to its publicly available
filings with the SEC, MercadoLibre operates an online commerce
ecosystem in Latin America designed to provide users with a
portfolio of services to facilitate commercial transactions both
digitally and offline. The common stock of MercadoLibre, par value
$0.001 per share (Bloomberg ticker: MELI), is registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to as
the Exchange Act, and is listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market, which
we refer to as the relevant exchange for purposes of MercadoLibre
in the accompanying product supplement. Information provided to or
filed with the SEC by MercadoLibre pursuant to the Exchange Act can
be located by reference to the SEC file number 001-33647, and can

that these publicly available documents are accurate or
complete.
Historical Information
The following graph sets forth the historical performance of the
Reference Stock based on the weekly historical closing prices of
one share of the Reference Stock from January 5, 2018 through March
17, 2023. The closing price of one share of the Reference Stock on
March 21, 2023 was $1,220.42. We obtained the closing prices above
and below from the Bloomberg Professional® service
(“Bloomberg”), without independent verification. The closing prices
above and below may have been adjusted by Bloomberg for corporate
actions, such as stock splits, public offerings, mergers and
acquisitions, spin-offs, delistings and bankruptcy.
The historical closing prices of one share of the Reference Stock
should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no
assurance can be given as to the closing price of one share of the
Reference Stock on any Review Date. There can be no assurance that
the performance of the Reference Stock 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-II. 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
PS-8
| Structured Investments
Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Common Stock
of MercadoLibre, Inc.
|
 |
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.
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, 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 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. 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 is lower than the original issue
price of the notes because costs associated with selling,
structuring and hedging the notes are included in the original
issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling
commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated
dealers, 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. 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 Is 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 selling commissions,
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 Reference Stock” 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 the selling commissions paid to JPMS and
other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, 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.
Supplemental Plan of Distribution
We expect that delivery of the notes will be made against payment
for the notes on or about the Original Issue Date set forth on the
front cover of this pricing supplement, which will be the third
business day following the Pricing Date of the notes (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 notes 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.
Supplemental Information About the Form of the Notes
The notes will initially be represented by a type of global
security that we refer to as a master note. A master note
represents multiple securities that may be issued at different
times and that may have different terms. The trustee and/or
paying agent will, in accordance with instructions from us, make
appropriate entries or notations in its records relating to the
master note representing the notes to indicate that the master note
evidences the notes.
Validity of the Notes and the Guarantee
In the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as special
products counsel to JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan
Chase & Co., when the notes offered by this pricing
supplement have been issued by JPMorgan Financial pursuant to the
indenture, the trustee and/or paying agent has made, in accordance
with the instructions from JPMorgan Financial, the appropriate
entries or notations in its records relating to the master global
note that represents such notes (the “master note”), and such notes
have been delivered against payment as contemplated herein, such
notes will be valid and binding obligations of JPMorgan Financial
and the related guarantee will constitute a valid and binding
obligation of JPMorgan Chase & Co., enforceable in
accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,

insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally,
concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general
applicability (including, without limitation, concepts of good
faith, fair dealing and the lack of bad faith), provided
that such counsel expresses no opinion as to (i) the effect of
fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of
applicable law on the conclusions expressed above or (ii) any
provision of the indenture that purports to avoid the effect of
fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of
applicable law by limiting the amount of JPMorgan
Chase & Co.’s obligation under the related guarantee.
This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the
laws of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act.
In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about
the trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery of the
indenture and its authentication of the master note and the
validity, binding nature and enforceability of the indenture with
respect to the trustee, all as stated in the letter of such counsel
dated May 6, 2022, which was filed as an exhibit to a Current
Report on Form 8-K by JPMorgan Chase & Co. on May 6,
2022.
