JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC
Structured Investments
Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the MerQube US
Tech+ Vol Advantage Index due June 30, 2028
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 level of the MerQube US Tech+ Vol
Advantage Index, which we refer to as the Index, is greater than or
equal to 70.00% of the Initial Value, which we refer to as the
Interest Barrier. |
|
· |
The notes will be automatically called
if the closing level of the Index on any Review Date (other than
the first and final Review Dates) is greater than or equal to the
Initial Value. |
|
· |
The earliest date on which an
automatic call may be initiated is December 27, 2023. |
|
· |
Investors should be willing to accept
the risk of losing up to 70.00% 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 Index is subject to a 6.0% per
annum daily deduction. This daily deduction will offset any
appreciation of the futures contracts included in the Index, will
heighten any depreciation of those futures contracts and will
generally be a drag on the performance of the Index. The Index will
trail the performance of an identical index without a deduction.
See “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Notes
Generally — The Level of the Index Will Include a 6.0% per Annum
Daily Deduction” in this pricing supplement. |
|
· |
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 are expected to price on or
about June 27, 2023 and are expected to settle on or about June 30,
2023. |
Investing in the notes involves a number of risks. See “Risk
Factors” beginning on page S-2 of the accompanying prospectus

Review Date, 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 Buffer Threshold, 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.
If the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value
is less than the Buffer Threshold, your payment at maturity per
$1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:
$1,000 + [$1,000 × (Index Return + Buffer Amount)]

The MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index
The MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index (the “Index”) was
developed by MerQube (the “Index Sponsor” and “Index Calculation
Agent”), in coordination with JPMS, and is maintained by the Index
Sponsor and is calculated and published by the Index Calculation
Agent. The Index was established on June 22, 2021. An affiliate of
ours currently has a 10% equity interest in the Index Sponsor, with
a right to appoint an employee of JPMS, another of our affiliates,
as a member of the board of directors of the Index Sponsor.
The Index attempts to provide a dynamic rules-based exposure to an
unfunded rolling position in E-Mini Nasdaq-100 futures (the
“Futures Contracts”), which reference the Nasdaq-100
Index®, while targeting a level of implied volatility,
with a maximum exposure to the Futures Contracts of 500% and a
minimum exposure to the Futures Contracts of 0%. The Index is
subject to a 6.0% per annum daily deduction. The Nasdaq-100
Index® is a modified market capitalization-weighted
index of 100 of the largest non-financial securities listed on The
Nasdaq Stock Market based on market capitalization. For more
information about the Futures Contracts and the Nasdaq-100
Index®, see “Background on E-Mini Nasdaq-100 Futures”
and “Background on the Nasdaq-100 Index®,” respectively,
in the accompanying underlying supplement.
On each weekly Index rebalance day, the exposure to the Futures
Contracts is set equal to (a) the 35% implied volatility target
(the “target volatility”) divided by (b) the one-week
implied volatility of the Invesco QQQ TrustSM, Series 1
(the “QQQ Fund”), subject to a maximum exposure of 500%. For
example, if the implied volatility of the QQQ Fund is equal to
17.5%, the exposure to the Futures Contracts will equal 200% (or
35% / 17.5%) and if the implied volatility of the QQQ Fund is equal
to 40%, the exposure to the Futures Contracts will equal 87.5% (or
35% / 40%). The Index’s exposure to the Futures Contracts will be
greater than 100% when the implied volatility of the QQQ Fund is
below 35%, and the Index’s exposure to the Futures Contracts will
be less than 100% when the implied volatility of the QQQ Fund is
above 35%. In general, the Index’s target volatility feature is
expected to result in the volatility of the Index being more stable
over time than if no target volatility feature were employed. No
assurance can be provided that the volatility of the Index will be
stable at any time.
The investment objective of the QQQ Fund is to seek to track the
investment results, before fees and expenses, of the Nasdaq-100
Index®. For more information about the QQQ Fund, see
“Background on the Invesco QQQ TrustSM, Series 1” in the
accompanying underlying supplement. The Index uses the implied
volatility of the QQQ Fund as a proxy for the volatility of the
Futures Contracts.
The 6.0% per annum daily deduction will offset any appreciation of
the Futures Contracts, will heighten any depreciation of the
Futures Contracts and will generally be a drag on the performance
of the Index. The Index will trail the performance of an identical
index without a deduction.
Holding the estimated value of the notes and market conditions
constant, the Contingent Interest Rate, the Interest Barrier, the
Trigger Value and the other economic terms available on the notes
are more favorable to investors than the terms that would be
available on a hypothetical note issued by us linked to an
identical index without a daily deduction. However, there can be no
assurance that any improvement in the terms of the notes derived
from the daily deduction will offset the negative effect of the
daily deduction on the performance of the Index. The return on the
notes may be lower than the return on a hypothetical note issued by
us linked to an identical index without a daily deduction.
The daily deduction and the volatility of the Index (as influenced
by the Index’s target volatility feature) are two of the primary
variables that affect the economic terms of the notes.
Additionally, the daily deduction and volatility of the Index are
two of the inputs our affiliates’ internal pricing models use to
value the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms
of the notes for purposes of determining the estimated value of the
notes set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement. The
daily deduction will effectively reduce the value of the derivative
or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes.
See “The Estimated Value of the Notes” and “Selected Risk
Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes” in this pricing
supplement.
The Index is subject to risks associated with the use of
significant leverage. In addition, the Index may be significantly
uninvested on any given day, and, in that case, will realize only a
portion of any gains due to appreciation of the Futures Contracts
on that day. The index deduction is deducted daily at a rate of
6.0% per annum, even when the Index is not fully invested.
No assurance can be given that the investment strategy used to
construct the Index will achieve its intended results or that the
Index will be successful or will outperform any alternative index
or strategy that might reference the Futures Contracts.
For additional information about the Index, see “The MerQube Vol
Advantage Index Series” in the accompanying underlying
supplement.

Supplemental Terms of the Notes
The notes are not commodity futures contracts or swaps and are
not regulated under the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as amended
(the “Commodity Exchange Act”). The notes are offered pursuant
to an exemption from regulation under the Commodity Exchange Act,
commonly known as the hybrid instrument exemption, that is
available to securities that have one or more payments indexed to
the value, level or rate of one or more commodities, as set out in
section 2(f) of that statute. Accordingly, you are not afforded any
protection provided by the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulation
promulgated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

Hypothetical Payout Examples
The following examples illustrate payments on the notes linked to a
hypothetical Index, assuming a range of performances for the
hypothetical Index on the Review Dates. The hypothetical payments
set forth below assume the following:
|
· |
an Initial Value of 100.00; |
|
· |
an Interest Barrier and a Buffer
Threshold of 70.00 (equal to 70.00% of the hypothetical Initial
Value); |
|
· |
a Buffer Amount of 30.00%; and |
|
· |
a Contingent Interest Rate of 10.00%
per annum (payable at a rate of 2.50% per quarter). |
The hypothetical Initial Value of 100.00 has been chosen for
illustrative purposes only and may not represent a likely actual
Initial Value. The actual Initial Value will be the closing level
of the Index on the Pricing Date and will be provided in the
pricing supplement. For historical data regarding the actual
closing levels of the Index, please see the historical information
set forth under “Hypothetical Back-Tested Data and Historical
Information” 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 second Review
Date.
Date |
Closing Level |
Payment (per $1,000 principal amount
note) |
First Review Date |
105.00 |
$25.00 |
Second Review Date |
110.00 |
$1,025.00 |
|
Total Payment |
$1,050.00 (5.00% return) |
Because the closing level of the Index on the second Review Date is
greater than or equal to the Initial Value, the notes will be
automatically called for a cash payment, for each $1,000 principal
amount note, of $1,025.00 (or $1,000 plus the Contingent
Interest Payment applicable to the second Review Date), payable on
the applicable Call Settlement Date. The notes are not
automatically callable before the second Review Date, even though
the closing level of the Index on the first Review Date is greater
than the Initial Value. When added to the Contingent Interest
Payment received with respect to the prior Review Date, the total
amount paid, for each $1,000 principal amount note, is $1,050.00.
No further payments will be made on the notes.
Example 2 — Notes have NOT been automatically called and the
Final Value is greater than or equal to the Buffer
Threshold.
Date |
Closing Level |
Payment (per $1,000 principal amount
note) |
First Review Date |

$0 |
Final Review Date |
90.00 |
$1,025.00 |
|
Total Payment |
$1,075.00 (7.50% return) |
Because the notes have not been automatically called and the Final
Value is greater than or equal to the Buffer Threshold, the payment
at maturity, for each $1,000 principal amount note, will be
$1,025.00 (or $1,000 plus the Contingent Interest Payment
applicable to the final Review Date). When added to the Contingent
Interest Payments received with respect to the prior Review Dates,
the total amount paid, for each $1,000 principal amount note, is
$1,075.00.
Example
3 — Notes have NOT been automatically called and the Final Value is
less than the Buffer Threshold.
Date |
Closing Level |
Payment (per $1,000 principal amount
note) |
First Review Date |
40.00 |

Third through Nineteenth Review
Dates |
Less than Interest Barrier |
$0 |
Final Review Date |
50.00 |
$800.00 |
|
Total Payment |
$800.00 (-20.00% return) |
Because the notes have not been automatically called, the Final
Value is less than the Buffer Threshold and the Index Return is
-50.00%, the payment at maturity will be $800.00 per $1,000
principal amount note, calculated as follows:
$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-50.00% + 30.00%)] = $800.00
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, product supplement and
underlying 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 Buffer Threshold, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of
your notes for every 1% that the Final Value is less than the
Initial Value by more than 30.00%. Accordingly, under these
circumstances, you will lose up to 70.00% 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 only if
the closing level of the Index on that Review Date is greater than
or equal to the Interest Barrier. If the closing level of the Index
on that Review Date is less than the Interest Barrier, no
Contingent Interest Payment will be made with respect to that
Review Date. Accordingly, if the closing level of the Index on each
Review Date is less than the Interest Barrier, you will not receive
any interest payments over the term of the notes.
|
· |
THE LEVEL OF THE INDEX WILL INCLUDE
A 6.0% PER ANNUM DAILY DEDUCTION — |
The Index is subject to a 6.0% per annum daily deduction. The level
of the Index will trail the value of an identically constituted
synthetic portfolio that is not subject to any such deduction.
The index deduction will place a significant drag on the
performance of the Index, potentially offsetting positive returns
on the Index’s investment strategy, exacerbating negative returns
of its investment strategy and causing the level of the Index to
decline steadily if the return of its investment strategy is
relatively flat. The Index will not appreciate unless the return of
its investment strategy is sufficient to offset the negative
effects of the index deduction, and then only to the extent that
the return of its investment strategy is greater than the index
deduction. As a result of the index deduction, the level of the
Index may decline even if the return of its investment strategy is
positive.
The daily deduction is one of the inputs our affiliates’ internal
pricing models use to value the derivative or derivatives
underlying the economic terms of the notes for purposes of
determining the estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover
of this pricing supplement. The daily deduction will effectively
reduce the value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the
economic terms of the notes. See “The Estimated Value of the Notes”
and “— Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market
Prices of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
|
· |
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 Index, which may be
significant. You will not participate in any appreciation of the
Index.
|
· |
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 six 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 OR
OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS ON THE SECURITIES UNDERLYING THE NASDAQ-100
INDEX® OR HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THOSE
SECURITIES OR THE FUTURES CONTRACTS UNDERLYING THE INDEX. |
|
· |
THE RISK OF THE CLOSING LEVEL OF
THE INDEX FALLING BELOW THE INTEREST BARRIER OR THE BUFFER
THRESHOLD IS GREATER IF THE LEVEL OF THE INDEX IS
VOLATILE. |
|
· |
JPMS AND ITS AFFILIATES MAY HAVE
PUBLISHED RESEARCH, EXPRESSED OPINIONS OR PROVIDED RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT ARE INCONSISTENT WITH INVESTING IN OR HOLDING THE NOTES, AND
MAY DO SO IN THE FUTURE — |
Any research, opinions or recommendations could affect the market
value of the notes. Investors should undertake their own
independent investigation of the merits of investing in the notes,
the Index and the futures contracts composing the Index.
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.
|
· |
THE FINAL TERMS AND VALUATION OF
THE NOTES WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE PRICING SUPPLEMENT — |
You should consider your potential investment in the notes based on
the minimums for the estimated value of the notes and the
Contingent Interest Rate.
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest
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.
An affiliate of ours currently has a 10% equity interest in the
Index Sponsor, with a right to appoint an employee of JPMS, another
of our affiliates, as a member of the board of directors of the
Index Sponsor. The Index Sponsor can implement policies, make
judgments or enact changes to the Index methodology that could
negatively affect the performance of the Index. The Index Sponsor
can also alter, discontinue or suspend calculation or dissemination
of the Index. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value
of the notes. The Index Sponsor has no obligation to consider your
interests in calculating, maintaining or revising the Index, and
we, JPMS, our other affiliates and our respective employees are
under no obligation to consider your interests as an investor in
the notes in connection with the role of our affiliate as an owner
of an equity interest in the Index Sponsor or the role of an
employee of JPMS as a member of the board of directors of the Index
Sponsor.
In addition JPMS worked with the Index Sponsor in developing the
guidelines and policies governing the composition and calculation
of the Index. Although judgments, policies and determinations
concerning the Index were made by JPMS, JPMorgan
Chase & Co., as the parent company of JPMS,
ultimately controls JPMS. The policies and judgments for which JPMS
was responsible could have an impact, positive or negative, on the
level of the Index and the value of your notes. JPMS is under no
obligation to consider your interests as an investor in the notes
in its role in developing the guidelines and policies governing the
Index or making judgments that may affect the level of the
Index.

Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market
Prices of the Notes
|
· |
THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES
WILL BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE (PRICE TO PUBLIC) OF
THE NOTES — |
The estimated value of the notes is only an estimate determined by
reference to several factors. The original issue price of the notes
will exceed the estimated value of the notes because costs
associated with 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 level of the Index. 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 Index
|
· |
THE INDEX MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL OR
OUTPERFORM ANY ALTERNATIVE STRATEGY THAT MIGHT BE EMPLOYED IN
RESPECT OF THE FUTURES CONTRACTS — |
No assurance can be given that the investment strategy on which the
Index is based will be successful or that the Index will outperform
any alternative strategy that might be employed with respect to the
Futures Contracts.
PS-8
| Structured Investments
Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the MerQube US
Tech+ Vol Advantage Index
|
 |
|
· |
THE INDEX MAY NOT APPROXIMATE ITS
TARGET VOLATILITY — |
No assurance can be given that the Index will maintain an
annualized realized volatility that approximates its target
volatility of 35%. The Index’s target volatility is a level of
implied volatility and therefore the actual realized volatility of
the Index may be greater or less than the target volatility. On
each weekly Index rebalance day, the Index’s exposure to the
Futures Contracts is set equal to (a) the 35% implied volatility
target divided by (b) the one-week implied volatility of the QQQ
Fund, subject to a maximum exposure of 500%. The Index uses the
implied volatility of the QQQ Fund as a proxy for the volatility of
the Futures Contracts. However, there is no guarantee that the
methodology used by the Index to determine the implied volatility
of the QQQ Fund will be representative of the implied or realized
volatility of the Futures Contracts. The performance of the QQQ
Fund may not correlate with the performance of the Futures
Contracts, particularly during periods of market volatility. In
addition, the volatility of the Futures Contracts on any day may
change quickly and unexpectedly and realized volatility may differ
significantly from implied volatility. In general, over time, the
realized volatilities of the QQQ Fund and the Futures Contracts
have tended to be lower than their respective implied volatilities;
however, at any time those realized volatilities may exceed their
respective implied volatilities, particularly during periods of
market volatility. Accordingly, the actual realized annualized
volatility of the Index may be greater than or less than the target
volatility, which may adversely affect the level of the Index and
the value of the notes.
|
· |
THE INDEX IS SUBJECT TO RISKS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF SIGNIFICANT LEVERAGE — |
On a weekly Index rebalance day, the Index will employ leverage to
increase the exposure of the Index to the Futures Contracts if the
implied volatility of the QQQ Fund is below 35%, subject to a
maximum exposure of 500%. Under normal market conditions in the
past, the QQQ Fund has tended to exhibit an implied volatility
below 35%. Accordingly, the Index has generally employed leverage
in the past, except during periods of elevated volatility. When
leverage is employed, any movements in the prices of the Futures
Contracts will result in greater changes in the level of the Index
than if leverage were not used. In particular, the use of leverage
will magnify any negative performance of the Futures Contracts,
which, in turn, would negatively affect the performance of the
Index. Because the Index’s leverage is adjusted only on a weekly
basis, in situations where a significant increase in volatility is
accompanied by a significant decline in the value of the Futures
Contracts, the level of the Index may decline significantly before
the following Index rebalance day when the Index’s exposure to the
Futures Contracts would be reduced.
|
· |
THE INDEX MAY BE SIGNIFICANTLY
UNINVESTED — |
On a weekly Index rebalance day, the Index’s exposure to the
Futures Contracts will be less than 100% when the implied
volatility of the QQQ Fund is above 35%. If the Index’s exposure to
the Futures Contracts is less than 100%, the Index will not be
fully invested, and any uninvested portion will earn no return. The
Index may be significantly uninvested on any given day, and will
realize only a portion of any gains due to appreciation of the
Futures Contracts on any such day. The 6.0% per annum deduction is
deducted daily, even when the Index is not fully invested.
|
· |
THE INDEX MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED
IF LATER FUTURES CONTRACTS HAVE HIGHER PRICES THAN AN EXPIRING
FUTURES CONTRACT INCLUDED IN THE INDEX — |
As the Futures Contracts included in the Index come to expiration,
they are replaced by Futures Contracts that expire three months
later. This is accomplished by synthetically selling the expiring
Futures Contract and synthetically purchasing the Futures Contract
that expires three months from that time. This process is referred
to as “rolling.” Excluding other considerations, if the market for
the Futures Contracts is in “contango,” where the prices are higher
in the distant delivery months than in the nearer delivery months,
the purchase of the later Futures Contract would take place at a
price that is higher than the price of the expiring Futures
Contract, thereby creating a negative “roll yield.” In addition,
excluding other considerations, if the market for the Futures
Contracts is in “backwardation,” where the prices are lower in the
distant delivery months than in the nearer delivery months, the
purchase of the later Futures Contract would take place at a price
that is lower than the price of the expiring Futures Contract,
thereby creating a positive “roll yield.” The presence of contango
in the market for the Futures Contracts could adversely affect the
level of the Index and, accordingly, any payment on the notes.
|
· |
THE INDEX IS AN EXCESS RETURN INDEX
THAT DOES NOT REFLECT “TOTAL RETURNS” — |
The Index is an excess return
index that does not reflect total returns. The return from
investing in futures contracts derives from three sources: (a)
changes in the price of the relevant futures contracts (which is
known as the “price return”); (b) any profit or loss realized when
rolling the relevant futures contracts (which is known as the “roll
return”); and (c) any interest earned on the cash deposited as
collateral for the purchase of the relevant futures contracts
(which is known as the “collateral return”).
The Index measures the
returns accrued from investing in uncollateralized futures
contracts (i.e., the sum of the price return and the roll
return associated with an investment in the Futures Contracts). By
contrast, a total return index, in addition to reflecting those
returns, would also reflect interest that could be earned on funds
committed to the trading of the Futures Contracts (i.e., the
collateral return associated with an investment in the Futures
Contracts). Investing in the notes will not generate the same
return as would be generated from investing in a total return index
related to the Futures Contracts.

AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES WILL BE
SUBJECT TO RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH NON-U.S. SECURITIES
— |
Some of the equity securities
composing the Nasdaq-100 Index® are issued by non-U.S. companies.
Investments in securities linked to the value of such non-U.S.
equity securities involve risks associated with the home countries
of the issuers of those non-U.S. equity securities. The prices of
securities issued by non-U.S. companies may be affected by
political, economic, financial and social factors in the home
countries of those issuers, or global regions, including changes in
government, economic and fiscal policies and currency exchange
laws.
|
· |
CONCENTRATION RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH
THE INDEX MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF YOUR NOTES — |
The Index generally provides exposure to a single futures contract
on the Nasdaq-100 Index® that trades on the Chicago
Mercantile Exchange. Accordingly, the notes are less diversified
than other funds, investment portfolios or indices investing in or
tracking a broader range of products and, therefore, could
experience greater volatility. You should be aware that other
indices may be more diversified than the Index in terms of both the
number and variety of futures contracts. You will not benefit, with
respect to the notes, from any of the advantages of a diversified
investment and will bear the risks of a highly concentrated
investment.
|
· |
THE INDEX IS SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FUTURES CONTRACTS, INCLUDING VOLATILITY
— |
The Index tracks the returns of futures contracts. The price of a
futures contract depends not only on the price of the underlying
asset referenced by the futures contract, but also on a range of
other factors, including but not limited to changing supply and
demand relationships, interest rates, governmental and regulatory
policies and the policies of the exchanges on which the futures
contracts trade. In addition, the futures markets are subject to
temporary distortions or other disruptions due to various factors,
including the lack of liquidity in the markets, the participation
of speculators and government regulation and intervention. These
factors and others can cause the prices of futures contracts to be
volatile.
|
· |
SUSPENSION OR DISRUPTIONS OF MARKET
TRADING IN FUTURES CONTRACTS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF YOUR
NOTES — |
Futures markets like the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the market
for the Futures Contracts, are subject to temporary distortions or
other disruptions due to various factors, including the lack of
liquidity in the markets, the participation of speculators, and
government regulation and intervention. In addition, futures
exchanges have regulations that limit the amount of fluctuation in
some futures contract prices that may occur during a single day.
These limits are generally referred to as “daily price fluctuation
limits” and the maximum or minimum price of a contract on any given
day as a result of these limits is referred to as a “limit price.”
Once the limit price has been reached in a particular contract, no
trades may be made at a price beyond the limit, or trading may be
limited for a set period of time. Limit prices have the effect of
precluding trading in a particular contract or forcing the
liquidation of contracts at potentially disadvantageous times or
prices. These circumstances could affect the level of the Index and
therefore could affect adversely the value of your notes.
|
· |
THE OFFICIAL SETTLEMENT PRICE AND
INTRADAY TRADING PRICES OF THE RELEVANT FUTURES CONTRACTS MAY NOT
BE READILY AVAILABLE — |
The official settlement price and intraday trading prices of the
Futures Contracts are calculated and published by the Chicago
Mercantile Exchange and are used to calculate the levels of the
Index. Any disruption in trading of the Futures Contracts could
delay the release or availability of the official settlement price
and intraday trading prices and may delay or prevent the
calculation of the Index.
|
· |
CHANGES IN THE MARGIN REQUIREMENTS
FOR THE FUTURES CONTRACTS INCLUDED IN THE INDEX MAY ADVERSELY
AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES — |
Futures exchanges require market participants to post collateral in
order to open and to keep open positions in futures contracts. If
an exchange changes the amount of collateral required to be posted
to hold positions in the Futures Contracts, market participants may
adjust their positions, which may affect the prices of the Futures
Contracts. As a result, the level of the Index may be affected,
which may adversely affect the value of the notes.

back-tested performance measures have inherent limitations.
Hypothetical back-tested performance is derived by means of the
retroactive application of a back-tested model that has been
designed with the benefit of hindsight. Alternative modelling
techniques might produce significantly different results and may
prove to be more appropriate. Past performance, and especially

Hypothetical Back-Tested Data and Historical Information
The following graph sets forth the hypothetical back-tested
performance of the Index based on the hypothetical back-tested
weekly closing levels of the Index from January 5, 2018 through
June 18, 2021, and the historical performance of the Index based on
the weekly historical closing levels of the Index from June 25,
2021 through May 26, 2023. The Index was established on June 22,
2021, as represented by the vertical line in the following graph.
All data to the left of that vertical line reflect hypothetical
back-tested performance of the Index. All data to the right of that
vertical line reflect actual historical performance of the Index.
The closing level of the Index on May 26, 2023 was 7,946.68. We
obtained the closing levels above and below from the Bloomberg
Professional® service (“Bloomberg”), without independent
verification.
The data for the hypothetical
back-tested performance of the Index set forth in the following
graph are purely theoretical and do not represent the actual
historical performance of the Index. See “Selected Risk
Considerations — Risks Relating to the Index — Hypothetical
Back-Tested Data Relating to the Index Do Not Represent Actual
Historical Data and Are Subject to Inherent Limitations”
above.
The hypothetical back-tested and historical closing levels of the
Index should not be taken as an indication of future performance,
and no assurance can be given as to the closing level of the Index
on the Pricing Date or any Review Date. There can be no assurance
that the performance of the Index will result in the return of any
of your principal amount in excess of $300.00 per $1,000 principal
amount note, subject to the credit risks of JPMorgan Financial and
JPMorgan Chase & Co., or the payment of any
interest.

The hypothetical back-tested closing levels of the Index have
inherent limitations and have not been verified by an independent
third party. These hypothetical back-tested closing levels are
determined by means of a retroactive application of a back-tested
model designed with the benefit of hindsight. Hypothetical
back-tested results are neither an indicator nor a guarantee of
future returns. No representation is made that an investment in the
notes will or is likely to achieve returns similar to those shown.
Alternative modeling techniques or assumptions would produce
different hypothetical back-tested closing levels of the Index that
might prove to be more appropriate and that might differ
significantly from the hypothetical back-tested closing levels of
the Index set forth above.
Tax Treatment
You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S.
Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product
supplement no. 4-I. In determining our reporting responsibilities
we intend to treat (i) the notes for U.S. federal income tax
purposes as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent
coupons and (ii) any Contingent Interest Payments as ordinary
income, as described in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal
Income Tax Consequences — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Notes
Treated as Prepaid Forward Contracts with Associated Contingent
Coupons” in the accompanying product supplement. Based on the
advice of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, our special tax counsel,
we believe that this is a reasonable treatment, but that there are
other reasonable treatments that the IRS or a court may adopt, in
which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the
notes could be materially affected. In addition, in 2007 Treasury
and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S.
federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and
similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to
require investors in these instruments to accrue income over the
term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of
related topics, including the character of income or loss with
respect to these instruments and the relevance of factors such as
the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are
linked. While the notice requests comments on appropriate
transition rules and
PS-12
| Structured Investments
Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the MerQube US
Tech+ Vol Advantage Index
|
 |
effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance
promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially
affect the tax consequences of an investment in the notes, possibly
with retroactive effect. The discussions above and in the
accompanying product supplement do not address the consequences to
taxpayers subject to special tax accounting rules under Section
451(b) of the Code. You should consult your tax adviser regarding
the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the
notes, including possible alternative treatments and the issues
presented by the notice described above.
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, we expect that Section 871(m)
will not apply to the notes with regard to Non-U.S. Holders. Our
determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree
with this determination. Section 871(m) is complex and its
application may depend on your particular circumstances, including
whether you enter into other transactions with respect to an
Underlying Security. If necessary, further information regarding
the potential application of Section 871(m) will be provided in the
pricing supplement for the notes. You should consult your tax
adviser regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to
the notes.
In the event of any withholding on the notes, we will not be
required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so
withheld.
The Estimated Value of the Notes
The estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover of this
pricing supplement is equal to the sum of the values of the
following hypothetical components: (1) a fixed-income debt
component with the same maturity as the notes, valued using the
internal funding rate described below, and (2) the derivative or
derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes. The
estimated value of the notes does not represent a minimum price at
which JPMS would be willing to buy your notes in any secondary
market (if any exists) at any time. The internal funding rate used
in the determination of the estimated value of the notes may differ
from the market-implied funding rate for vanilla fixed income
instruments of a similar maturity issued by JPMorgan
Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference may be
based on, among other things, our and our affiliates’ view of the
funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance,
operational and ongoing liability management costs of the notes in
comparison to those costs for the conventional fixed income
instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal
funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions,
which may prove to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the
prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use
of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate
may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any
secondary market prices of the notes. For additional information,
see “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated
Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Estimated
Value of the Notes Is Derived by Reference to an Internal Funding
Rate” in this pricing supplement.
The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic
terms of the notes is derived from internal pricing models of our
affiliates. These models are dependent on inputs such as the traded
market prices of comparable derivative instruments and on various
other inputs, some of which are market-observable, and which can
include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other
factors, as well as assumptions about future market events and/or
environments. Accordingly, the estimated value of the notes is
determined when the terms of the notes are set based on market
conditions and other relevant factors and assumptions existing at
that time.
The estimated value of the notes does not represent future values
of the notes and may differ from others’ estimates. Different
pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations for the
notes that are greater than or less than the estimated value of the
notes. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in
the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to be
incorrect. On future dates, the value of the notes could change
significantly based on, among other things, changes in market
conditions, our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s
creditworthiness, interest rate movements and other relevant
factors, which may impact the price, if any, at
PS-13

 |
which JPMS would be willing to buy notes from you in secondary
market transactions.
The estimated value of the notes will be lower than the original
issue price of the notes because costs associated with 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 Will Be Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to Public)
of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes
For information about factors that will impact any secondary market
prices of the notes, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the
Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes —
Secondary market prices of the notes will be impacted by many
economic and market factors” in the accompanying product
supplement. In addition, we generally expect that some of the costs
included in the original issue price of the notes will be partially
paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your notes
by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial
predetermined period. These costs can include 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 MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index”
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.
Additional Terms Specific to the Notes
You may revoke your offer to purchase the notes at any time prior
to the time at which we accept such offer by notifying the
applicable agent. We reserve the right to change the terms of, or
reject any offer to purchase, the notes prior to their issuance. In
the event of any changes to the terms of the notes, we will notify
you and you will be asked to accept such changes in connection with
your purchase. You may also choose to reject such changes, in which
case we may reject your offer to purchase.
You should read this pricing supplement together with the
