JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC Trigger In-Digital Notes
$6,735,000 Linked to the S&P 500® Index due June 10,
2024
Fully
and Unconditionally Guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Trigger
In-Digital Notes, which we refer to as the “Notes,” are unsecured
and unsubordinated debt securities issued by JPMorgan Chase
Financial Company LLC (“JPMorgan Financial”), the payment on which
is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase &
Co., with a return linked to the performance of the S&P
500® Index (the “Underlying”). If the Final Value
is greater than or equal to the Digital Barrier (which is equal to
the Downside Threshold), JPMorgan Financial will repay your
principal amount at maturity and pay a return equal to the Digital
Return of 8.60%. However, if the Final Value is less than the
Downside Threshold, JPMorgan Financial will repay less than your
principal amount at maturity, if anything, resulting in a loss of
principal that is proportionate to the negative Underlying Return.
In this case, you will have full downside exposure to the
Underlying from the Initial Value to the Final Value and could lose
all of your principal amount. Investing in the Notes involves
significant risks. You may lose some or all of your principal
amount. You will not receive dividends or other distributions
paid on any stocks included in the Underlying, and the Notes will
not pay interest. The contingent repayment of principal and
the Digital Return apply only if you hold the Notes to maturity.
Any payment on the Notes, including any repayment of
principal, is subject to the creditworthiness of JPMorgan
Financial, as issuer of the Notes, and the creditworthiness of
JPMorgan Chase & Co., as guarantor of the Notes. If
JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were to default on
their payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to
you under the Notes and you could lose your entire
investment.
|
q |
Digital Return Feature — If the Final Value is greater
than or equal to the Digital Barrier (which is equal to the
Downside Threshold) on the Final Valuation Date, JPMorgan Financial
will repay your principal amount at maturity and pay a return equal
to the Digital Return, regardless of any appreciation of the
Underlying. However, if the Final Value is less than the Downside
Threshold, investors will be exposed to the negative Underlying
Return at maturity. |
|
q |
Downside Exposure — If the Final Value is less than the
Downside Threshold (which is equal to the Digital Barrier),
JPMorgan Financial will repay less than your principal amount at
maturity, if anything, resulting in a loss of principal that is
proportionate to the negative Underlying Return. You may lose
some or all of your principal. The contingent repayment of
principal applies only if you hold the Notes to maturity. Any
payment on the Notes, including any repayment of principal, is
subject to the creditworthiness of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan
Chase & Co. |

THE NOTES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY RISKIER THAN CONVENTIONAL DEBT
INSTRUMENTS. JPMORGAN FINANCIAL IS NOT NECESSARILY OBLIGATED TO
REPAY THE FULL PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THE NOTES AT MATURITY, AND THE
NOTES CAN HAVE DOWNSIDE MARKET RISK SIMILAR TO THE UNDERLYING. THIS
MARKET RISK IS IN ADDITION TO THE CREDIT RISK INHERENT IN
PURCHASING A DEBT OBLIGATION OF JPMORGAN FINANCIAL FULLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY GUARANTEED BY JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. YOU SHOULD
NOT PURCHASE THE NOTES IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND OR ARE NOT
COMFORTABLE WITH THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS INVOLVED IN INVESTING IN THE
NOTES.
YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS DESCRIBED UNDER “KEY
RISKS” BEGINNING ON PAGE 6 OF THIS PRICING SUPPLEMENT, UNDER “RISK
FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE S-2 OF THE ACCOMPANYING PROSPECTUS
SUPPLEMENT AND UNDER “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE PS-12 OF THE
ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT SUPPLEMENT BEFORE PURCHASING ANY NOTES. EVENTS
RELATING TO ANY OF THOSE RISKS, OR OTHER RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES,
COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET VALUE OF, AND THE RETURN ON, YOUR
NOTES. YOU MAY LOSE SOME OR ALL OF YOUR INITIAL INVESTMENT IN THE
NOTES. THE NOTES WILL NOT BE LISTED ON ANY SECURITIES
EXCHANGE.
We are offering Trigger In-Digital Notes linked to the S&P
500® Index. The Notes are offered at a minimum
investment of $1,000 in denominations of $10 and integral multiples
thereof.

The
suitability considerations identified above are not exhaustive.
Whether or not the Notes are a suitable investment for you will
depend on your individual circumstances, and you should reach an
investment decision only after you and your investment, legal, tax,
accounting and other advisers have carefully considered the
suitability of an investment in the Notes in light of your
particular circumstances. You should also review carefully the “Key
Risks” section of this pricing supplement and the “Risk Factors”
sections of the accompanying prospectus supplement and the
accompanying product supplement for risks related to an investment
in the Notes. For more information on the Underlying, please see

INVESTMENT.
What Are the Tax Consequences of the Notes?
|
In determining our reporting responsibilities, we intend to treat
the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes as “open
transactions” that are not debt instruments, as described in the
section entitled “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 no. UBS-1-I. 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 and adversely affected.
No statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly
addresses the characterization of the Notes (or similar
instruments) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and no ruling is
being requested from the IRS with respect to their proper
characterization and treatment. Assuming that “open transaction”
treatment is respected, the gain or loss on your Notes should
generally be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if you hold
your Notes for more than a year, whether or not you are an initial
purchaser of the Notes at the issue price. However, the IRS or a
court may not respect the treatment of the Notes as “open
transactions,” in which case the timing and character of any income
or loss on the Notes could be materially and adversely affected.
For instance, the Notes could be treated as contingent payment debt
instruments, in which case the gain on your Notes would be treated
as ordinary income and you would be required to accrue original
issue discount on your Notes in each taxable year at the
“comparable yield,” as determined by us, although we will not make
any payment with respect to the Notes until maturity.
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 Notes, 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 Notes, 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 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.
An investment in the Notes involves significant risks. Investing in
the Notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the
Underlying. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk
Factors” sections of the accompanying prospectus supplement and the
accompanying product supplement. We also urge you to consult your
investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers before you
invest in the Notes.
Risks Relating to the Notes Generally
|
t |
Your
Investment in the Notes May Result in a Loss — The Notes differ
from ordinary debt securities in that we will not necessarily repay
the full principal amount of the Notes. We will pay you the
principal amount of your Notes in cash only if the Final Value has
not declined below the Downside Threshold. If the Final Value is
less than the Downside Threshold, you will be exposed to the full
decline of the Underlying and will lose some or all of your
principal amount in an amount proportionate to the negative
Underlying Return. Accordingly, you could lose up to your entire
principal amount. |
|
t |
Credit Risks of
JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. — The Notes are
unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the Issuer,
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, the payment on which is fully
and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The
Notes will rank pari passu with all of our other unsecured
and unsubordinated obligations, and the related guarantee JPMorgan
Chase & Co. will rank pari passu with all of JPMorgan
Chase & Co.’s other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations.
The Notes and related guarantees are not, either directly or
indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any payment to be
made on the Notes, including any repayment of principal, depends on
the ability of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. to
satisfy their obligations as they come due. As a result, the actual
and perceived creditworthiness of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan
Chase & Co. may affect the market value of the Notes and, in
the event JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were to
default on their obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed
to you under the terms of the Notes and you could lose your entire
investment. |
|
t |
As a
Finance Subsidiary, JPMorgan Financial Has No Independent
Operations and 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. |
|
t |
The
Appreciation Potential of the Notes Is Limited by the Digital
Return — The appreciation potential of the Notes is limited by
the Digital Return. If the Final Value is greater than or equal to
the Digital Barrier, at maturity we will repay your principal
amount, plus a return equal to the Digital Return,
regardless of any appreciation of the Underlying. Accordingly, the
appreciation potential of the Notes will be limited by the Digital
Return even if the Underlying Return is greater than the Digital
Return. |
|
t |
The
Digital Return Applies Only If You Hold the Notes to Maturity —
You should be willing to hold your Notes to maturity. If you are
able to sell your Notes prior to maturity in the secondary market,
if any, the price you receive likely will not reflect the full
economic value of the Digital Return or the Notes themselves, and
the return you realize may be less than the Underlying’s return,
even if that return is positive. You can receive the full benefit
of the Digital Return from JPMorgan Financial only if you hold your
Notes to maturity. |
|
t |
The
Contingent Repayment of Principal Applies Only If You Hold the
Notes to Maturity — You should be willing to hold your Notes to
maturity. If you are able to sell your Notes in the secondary
market, if any, prior to maturity, you may have to sell them at a
loss relative to your initial investment even if the closing level
of the Underlying is above the Downside Threshold. If you hold the
Notes to maturity, JPMorgan Financial will repay your principal
amount as long as the Final Value is not below the Downside
Threshold. However, if the Final Value is less than the Downside
Threshold, JPMorgan Financial will repay less than the principal
amount, if anything, resulting in a loss that is proportionate to
the decline in the level of the Underlying from the Initial Value
to the Final Value. The contingent repayment of principal based on
whether the Final Value is below the Downside Threshold applies
only if you hold your Notes to maturity. |
|
t |
Your
Ability to Receive the Digital Return May Terminate on the Final
Valuation Date — If the Final Value is less than the Digital
Barrier (which is equal to the Downside Threshold), you will not be
entitled to receive the Digital Return on the Notes. Under these
circumstances, you will lose some or all of your principal amount
in an amount proportionate to the negative Underlying
Return. |
|
t |
No
Interest Payments — JPMorgan Financial will not make any
interest payments to you with respect to the Notes. |
|
t |
The
Probability That the Final Value Will Fall Below the Downside
Threshold on the Final Valuation Date Will Depend on the Volatility
of the Underlying — “Volatility" refers to the frequency and
magnitude of changes in the level of the Underlying. Greater
expected volatility with respect to the Underlying reflects a
higher expectation as of the Trade Date that the Underlying could
close below the Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date,
resulting in the loss of some or all of your investment. However,
the Underlying’s volatility can change significantly over the term
of the Notes. The level of the Underlying could fall sharply, which
could result in a significant loss of principal. |
|
t |
Investing in the
Notes Is Not Equivalent to Investing in the Stocks Composing the
Underlying — Investing in the Notes is not equivalent to
investing in the stocks included in the Underlying. As an investor
in the Notes, you will not have any ownership interest or rights in
the stocks included in the Underlying, such as voting rights,
dividend payments or other distributions. |
|
t |
We
Cannot Control Actions by the Sponsor of the Underlying and That
Sponsor Has No Obligation to Consider Your Interests — We and
our affiliates are not affiliated with the sponsor of the
Underlying and have no ability to control or predict its actions,
including any errors in or discontinuation of public disclosure
regarding methods or policies relating to the calculation of
the |
Underlying. The sponsor of the Underlying is not involved in this
Note offering in any way and has no obligation to consider your
interest as an owner of the Notes in taking any actions that might
affect the market value of your Notes.
|
t |
Your
Return on the Notes Will Not Reflect Dividends on the Stocks
Composing the Underlying — Your return on the Notes will not
reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the
stocks included in the Underlying and received the dividends on the
stocks included in the Underlying. This is because the calculation
agent will calculate the amount payable to you at maturity of the
Notes by reference to the Final Value, which reflects the closing
level of the Underlying on the Final Valuation Date without taking
into consideration the value of dividends on the stock included in
the Underlying. |
|
t |
Lack
of Liquidity — The Notes will not be listed on any securities
exchange. JPMS intends to offer to purchase the Notes in the
secondary market, but is not required to do so. Even if there is a
secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you
to trade or sell the Notes easily. Because other dealers are not
likely to make a secondary market for the Notes, 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. |
|
t |
Tax
Treatment — Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the
Notes are uncertain. You should consult your tax adviser about your
tax situation. |
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest
|
t |
Potential
Conflicts — We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in
connection with the issuance of the Notes, including acting as
calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the Notes and
making the assumptions used to determine the pricing of the Notes
and the estimated value of the Notes when the terms of the Notes
are set, which we refer to as the estimated value of the Notes. 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 Notes. 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 Notes and the value of 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 for
additional information about these risks. |
|
t |
Potentially
Inconsistent Research, Opinions or Recommendations by JPMS, UBS or
Their Affiliates — JPMS, UBS or their affiliates may publish
research, express opinions or provide recommendations that are
inconsistent with investing in or holding the Notes, and that may
be revised at any time. Any such research, opinions or
recommendations may or may not recommend that investors buy or hold
investments linked to the Underlying and could affect the level of
the Underlying, and therefore the market value of the
Notes. |
|
t |
Potential JPMorgan
Financial Impact on the Level of the Underlying — Trading or
transactions by JPMorgan Financial or its affiliates in the
Underlying or in futures, options or other derivative products on
the Underlying may adversely affect the market value of the
Underlying and, therefore, the market value of the
Notes. |
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market
Prices of the Notes
|
t |
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. |
|
t |
The
Estimated Value of the Notes Does Not Represent Future Values of
the Notes and May Differ from Others’ Estimates — The estimated
value of the Notes is determined by reference to internal pricing
models of our affiliates when the terms of the Notes are set. This
estimated value of the Notes is based on market conditions and
other relevant factors existing at that time 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 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. See “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this
pricing supplement. |
|
t |
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. |
|
t |
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. 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. 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).
|
t |
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 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. See the immediately following
risk factor for information about additional factors that will
impact any secondary market prices of the 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. See “— Risks Relating to the Notes Generally — Lack of
Liquidity” above.
|
t |
Many
Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Notes
— As described under “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this
pricing supplement, the Notes can be thought of as securities that
combine a fixed-income debt component with one or more derivatives.
As a result, the factors that influence the values of fixed-income
debt and derivative instruments will also influence the terms of
the Notes at issuance and their value in the secondary market.
Accordingly, 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 level of the Underlying,
including: |
|
t |
any
actual or potential change in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s
creditworthiness or credit spreads; |
|
t |
customary bid-ask
spreads for similarly sized trades; |
|
t |
our
internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt
issuances; |
|
t |
the
actual and expected volatility in the level of the
Underlying; |
|
t |
the
time to maturity of the Notes; |
|
t |
the
dividend rates on the equity securities included in the
Underlying; |
|
t |
interest and yield
rates in the market generally; and |
|
t |
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 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.
Risks Relating to the Underlying
|
¨ |
JPMorgan Chase & Co. Is Currently One of the Companies that
Make Up the Underlying — JPMorgan Chase & Co. is currently one
of the companies that make up the Underlying. JPMorgan Chase &
Co. will not have any obligation to consider your interests as a
holder of the Notes in taking any corporate action that might
affect the level of the Underlying and the
Notes. |
Hypothetical Examples and Return Table
|
Hypothetical terms only. Actual terms may vary. See the cover
page for actual offering terms.
The following table and hypothetical examples below illustrate the
payment at maturity per $10.00 principal amount Note for a
hypothetical range of Underlying Returns from -100.00% to +100.00%
on an offering of the Notes linked to a hypothetical Underlying,
and assume a hypothetical Initial Value of 100, a hypothetical
Digital Barrier of 90, a hypothetical Downside Threshold of 90 and
a hypothetical Digital Return of 5.00%. The hypothetical Initial
Value of 100 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and
does not represent the actual Initial Value. The actual Initial
Value, Digital Barrier and Downside Threshold are based on the
closing level of the Underlying on May 24, 2023 and are specified
on the cover of this pricing supplement. For historical data
regarding the actual closing levels of the Underlying, please see
the historical information set forth under “The Underlying” in this
pricing supplement. The actual Digital Return is specified on the
cover of this pricing supplement. The hypothetical payment at
maturity examples set forth below are for illustrative purposes
only and may not be the actual returns applicable to a purchaser of
the Notes. The actual payment at maturity may be more or less than
the amounts displayed below and will be determined based on the
actual terms of the Notes, including the Initial Value, the Digital
Barrier, the Downside Threshold and the Digital Return and the
Final Value on the Final Valuation Date. You should consider
carefully whether the Notes are suitable to your investment goals.
The numbers appearing in the table below have been rounded for ease
of analysis.

Example 1 — The level of the Underlying increases by 2.50% from
the Initial Value of 100 to the Final Value of
102.50.
Because the Final Value is greater than or equal to the Digital
Barrier (which is equal to the Downside Threshold), at maturity,
JPMorgan Financial will pay you your principal amount plus a
return equal to the Digital Return, regardless of the appreciation
of the Underlying, resulting in a payment at maturity of $10.50 per
$10 principal amount Note, calculated as follows:
$10.00 + ($10.00 × the Digital Return)
$10.00 + ($10.00 × 5.00%) = $10.50
Example 2 — The level of the Underlying increases by 10% from
the Initial Value of 100 to the Final Value of 110.
Because the Final Value is greater than or equal to the Digital
Barrier (which is equal to the Downside Threshold) and although the
Underlying Return of 10% is greater than the Digital Return of
5.00%, at maturity, JPMorgan Financial will pay you your principal
amount plus a return equal to only the Digital Return,
regardless of the appreciation of the Underlying, resulting in a
payment at maturity of $10.50 per $10 principal amount Note,
calculated as follows:
$10.00 + ($10.00 × the Digital Return)
$10.00 + ($10.00 × 5.00%) = $10.50
Example 3 — The level of the Underlying decreases by 5% from the
Initial Value of 100 to the Final Value of 95.
Even though the level of the Underlying has declined, because the
Final Value is greater than or equal to the Digital Barrier (which
is equal to the Downside Threshold), at maturity, JPMorgan
Financial will pay you your principal amount plus a return
equal to the Digital Return of 5.00%, resulting in a payment at
maturity of $10.50 per $10 principal amount Note, calculated as
follows:
$10.00 + ($10.00 × the Digital Return)
$10.00 + ($10.00 × 5.00%) = $10.50
Example 4 — The level of the Underlying decreases by 60% from
the Initial Value of 100 to the Final Value of 40.
Because the Final Value is less than the Downside Threshold and the
Underlying Return is -60%, at maturity, JPMorgan Financial will pay
you a payment at maturity of $4.00 per $10 principal amount Note,
calculated as follows:
$10.00 + ($10.00 × Underlying Return)
$10.00 + ($10.00 × -60%) = $4.00
If the Final Value is less than the Downside Threshold,
investors will be exposed to the negative Underlying Return at
maturity, resulting in a loss of principal that is proportionate to
the Underlying’s decline from the Initial Value to the Final Value.
Investors could lose some or all of their principal
amount.
The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the Notes
shown above apply only if you hold the Notes for their entire
term. These hypotheticals do not reflect 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.

Historical Information
The graph below illustrates the daily performance of the Underlying
from January 2, 2013 through May 24, 2023, based on information
from the Bloomberg Professional® service (“Bloomberg”),
without independent verification. The closing level of the
Underlying on May 24, 2023 was 4,115.24. We obtained the closing
levels of the Underlying above and below from Bloomberg, without
independent verification.
The dotted line represents the Digital Barrier and the Downside
Threshold of 2,880.67, equal to 70% of the closing level of the
Underlying on May 24, 2023.
Past performance of the Underlying is not indicative of the
future performance of the Underlying.

The historical performance of the Underlying should not be taken as
an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given
as to the closing level of the Underlying on the Final Valuation
Date. There can be no assurance that the performance of the
Underlying will result in the return of any of your principal
amount.
Supplemental Plan of Distribution
|
We and JPMorgan Chase & Co. have agreed to indemnify UBS and
JPMS against liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or to contribute to payments that UBS may be required to
make relating to these liabilities as described in the prospectus
supplement and the prospectus. We have agreed that UBS may sell all
or a part of the Notes that it purchases from us to the public or
its affiliates at the price to public indicated on the cover
hereof.
Subject to regulatory constraints, JPMS intends to offer to
purchase the Notes in the secondary market, but it is not required
to do so.
We or
our affiliates 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 Notes, 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” in this pricing supplement and “Use
of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying product
supplement.
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 values 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 “Key Risks —
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. See “Key Risks — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value
and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Estimated Value of
the Notes Does Not Represent Future Values of the Notes and May
Differ from Others’ Estimates” in this pricing
supplement.
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 UBS, 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. We or one or more of our affiliates will retain any profits
realized in hedging our obligations under the Notes. See “Key Risks
— 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 “Key
Risks — 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 this pricing
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 that is intended to be up to four months. The
length of any such initial period reflects secondary market volumes
for the Notes, 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 “Key Risks — 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.
Validity of the Securities and the Guarantee
In the
opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as special products
counsel to JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., when
the Securities 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
Securities (the “master note”), and such Securities have been
delivered against payment as contemplated herein, such Securities
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 February 24, 2023, which was filed as
an exhibit to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 by JPMorgan
Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. on February 24, 2023.
Supplemental Use of Proceeds
