Contingent Income Callable Securities due June 20, 2025
Based on the Value of the S&P 500® Index
Principal at Risk Securities
Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase &
Co.
Contingent Income Callable Securities do not guarantee the payment
of interest or the repayment of principal. Instead, the securities
offer the opportunity for investors to earn a contingent quarterly
payment equal to at least 2.05% of the stated principal amount with
respect to each determination date on which the closing level of
the underlying index is greater than or equal to 75% of the initial
index value, which we refer to as the downside threshold level.
However, if, on any determination date, the closing level of the
underlying index is less than the downside threshold level, you
will not receive any contingent quarterly payment for that
quarterly period. In addition, we will have the right to redeem
the securities at our discretion on any contingent payment date
(other than the final contingent payment date) for an early
redemption payment equal to the stated principal amount plus
any contingent quarterly payment with respect to the related
determination date. Any early redemption of the securities will be
at our discretion and will not automatically occur based on the
performance of the underlying index. If the securities have not
been redeemed prior to maturity and the final index value is
greater than or equal to the downside threshold level, the payment
at maturity due on the securities will be the stated principal
amount and the contingent quarterly payment with respect to the
final determination date. If, however, the securities have not been
redeemed prior to maturity and the final index value is less than
the downside threshold level, you will be exposed to the decline in
the underlying index, as compared to the initial index value, on a
1-to-1 basis and will receive a cash payment at maturity that is
less than 75% of the stated principal amount of the securities and
could be zero. The securities are for investors who are willing to
risk their principal and seek an opportunity to earn interest at a
potentially above-market rate in exchange for the risk of receiving
few or no contingent quarterly payments and also the risk of
receiving a cash payment at maturity that is significantly less
than the stated principal amount of the securities and could be
zero. Accordingly, investors could lose their entire initial
investment in the securities. Investors will not participate in
any appreciation of the underlying index. The securities are
unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase
Financial Company LLC, which we refer to as JPMorgan Financial, the
payment on which is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by
JPMorgan Chase & Co., issued as part of JPMorgan Financial’s
Medium-Term Notes, Series A, program. Any payment on the
securities is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial, as
issuer of the securities, and the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase
& Co., as guarantor of the securities.

JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC
Contingent Income Callable Securities due June 20, 2025
Based on the Value of the S&P 500® Index
Principal at Risk Securities
Investment Summary
The Contingent Income Callable Securities due June 20, 2025 Based
on the Value of the S&P 500® Index, which we refer
to as the securities, provide an opportunity for investors to earn
a contingent quarterly payment, which is an amount equal to at
least $20.50 (at least 2.05% of the stated principal amount) per
security, with respect to each quarterly determination date on
which the closing level is greater than or equal to 75% of the
initial index value, which we refer to as the downside threshold
level. The actual contingent quarterly payment will be provided in
the pricing supplement. The contingent quarterly payment, if any,
will be payable quarterly on the contingent payment date
immediately following the related determination date. However, if
the closing level of the underlying index is less than the downside
threshold level on any determination date, investors will receive
no contingent quarterly payment for the related quarterly period.
It is possible that the closing level of the underlying index could
be below the downside threshold level on most or all of the
determination dates so that you will receive few or no contingent
quarterly payments during the term of the securities. We refer to
these payments as contingent, because there is no guarantee that
you will receive a payment on any contingent payment date. Even if
the underlying index was at or above the downside threshold level
on some quarterly determination dates, the underlying index may
fluctuate below the downside threshold level on others.
In addition, we will have the right to redeem the securities at
our discretion on any contingent payment date (other than the
final contingent payment date) for the early redemption payment
equal to the stated principal amount plus any contingent
quarterly payment with respect to the related determination date.
Any early redemption of the securities will be at our discretion
and will not automatically occur based on the performance of the
underlying index. If the securities have not previously been
redeemed and the final index value is greater than or equal to the
downside threshold level, the payment at maturity will be the sum
of the stated principal amount and the contingent quarterly payment
with respect to the final determination date. However, if the
securities have not previously been redeemed and the final index
value is less than the downside threshold level, investors will be
exposed to the decline in the closing level of the underlying
index, as compared to the initial index value, on a 1-to-1 basis.
Under these circumstances, the payment at maturity will be (i) the
stated principal amount times (ii) the index performance
factor, which will be less than 75% of the stated principal amount
of the securities and could be zero. Investors in the securities
must be willing to accept the risk of losing their entire principal
and also the risk of receiving few or no contingent quarterly
payments over the term of the securities. In addition, investors
will not participate in any appreciation of the underlying
index.
Supplemental Terms of the Securities
For purposes of the accompanying product supplement, the underlying
index is an “Index.”

Principal at Risk Securities
Key Investment Rationale
The
securities do not provide for the regular payment of interest.
Instead, the securities offer investors an opportunity to earn a
contingent quarterly payment equal to at least 2.05% of the stated
principal amount with respect to each determination date on which
the closing level of the underlying index is greater than or equal
to 75% of the initial index value, which we refer to as the
downside threshold level. The actual contingent quarterly payment
will be provided in the pricing supplement. The securities may be
redeemed prior to maturity for the stated principal amount per
security plus any applicable contingent quarterly payment,
and the payment at maturity will vary depending on the final index
value, as follows:
Scenario
1 |
On any contingent payment date (other than the final contingent
payment date), we elect to redeem the securities.
§
The securities will be redeemed for (i) the stated principal amount
plus (ii) any contingent quarterly payment with respect to
the related determination date.
§
Investors will not participate in any appreciation of the
underlying index from the initial index value.
Any early redemption of the securities will be at our discretion
and will not automatically occur based on the performance of the
underlying index. It is more likely that we will redeem the
securities when it would otherwise be advantageous for you to
continue to hold the securities. As such, we will be more likely to
redeem the securities when the closing level of the underlying
index on the determination dates is at or above the downside
threshold level, which would otherwise result in an amount of
interest payable on the securities that is greater than instruments
issued by us of a comparable maturity and credit rating trading in
the market. In other words, we will be more likely to redeem the
securities when the securities are paying above-market
interest.
If the securities are redeemed prior to maturity, you will receive
no more contingent quarterly payments and may be forced to reinvest
in a lower interest rate environment. Under these circumstances,
you may not be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in
the securities at a comparable return for a similar level of risk.
On the other hand, we will be less likely to exercise our
redemption right when the closing level of the underlying index on
the determination dates is below the downside threshold level, such
that you will receive no contingent quarterly payments and/or that
you will suffer a significant loss on your investment in the
securities at maturity. Therefore, if we do not exercise our
redemption right, it is more likely that you will receive few or no
contingent quarterly payments and that you will suffer a
significant loss on your investment at maturity.
|
Scenario
2 |
The securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, and the final
index value is greater than or equal to the downside
threshold level.
§
The payment due at maturity will be (i) the stated principal amount
plus (ii) the contingent quarterly payment with respect to
the final determination date.
§
Investors will not participate in any appreciation of the
underlying index from the initial index value.
|
Scenario
3 |
The securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, and the final
index value is less than the downside threshold level.
§
The payment due at maturity will be (i) the stated principal amount
times (ii) the index performance factor.
§
Investors will lose some, and may lose all, of their principal
in this scenario.

Hypothetical Examples
The
below examples are based on the following terms:
Stated principal amount: |
$1,000
per security |
Hypothetical initial index value: |
100.00 |
Hypothetical downside threshold level: |
75.00,
which is 75% of the hypothetical initial index value |
Hypothetical contingent quarterly payment: |
$20.50
(2.05% of the stated principal amount) per security |
The hypothetical initial index value of 100.00 has been chosen for
illustrative purposes only and may not represent a likely actual
initial index value. The actual initial index value will be the
closing level of the underlying index on the pricing date and will
be provided in the pricing supplement. For historical data
regarding the actual closing levels of the underlying index, please
see the historical information set forth under “S&P
500® Index Overview” in this pricing supplement.
In Examples 1 and 2, the closing level of the underlying index
fluctuates over the term of the securities and we elect to call the
securities on one of the contingent payment dates (other than the
final contingent payment date). In Examples 3 and 4, the securities
are not redeemed prior to, and remain outstanding until, maturity.
Any redemption of the securities will be at our discretion and will
not automatically occur based on the performance of the underlying
index.

|
§ |
In Example 1, we elect to redeem the securities on the
second contingent payment date. As the closing level on each of the
first determination date is less than the downside threshold level,
no contingent quarterly payment was made with respect to that date.
As the closing level on the second determination date is greater
than the downside threshold level, the early redemption payment you
receive on the second contingent payment date includes the
contingent quarterly payment due with respect to that determination
date, and the early redemption payment is calculated as
follows: |
stated principal amount + contingent quarterly payment = $1,000 +
$20.50 = $1,020.50
In this example, the optional early redemption feature limits
the term of your investment to approximately 6 months and you may
not be able to reinvest at comparable terms or returns. If the
securities are redeemed early, you will stop receiving contingent
quarterly payments. Further, although the underlying index has
appreciated by 25% from its initial index value on the second
determination date, you only receive $1,020.50 per security upon
redemption and do not benefit from this appreciation.
|
§ |
In Example 2, we elect to redeem the securities on the
7th contingent payment date. As the closing level of the
underlying index on each of the first, fifth, and sixth
determination dates is greater than the downside threshold level,
you receive the contingent quarterly payment of $20.50 with respect
to each of those determination dates. However, because the closing
level of the underlying index is below the downside threshold level
on the 7th determination date, the early redemption
payment you receive on the 7th contingent payment date
does not include any contingent quarterly payment with respect to
that determination date, and the early redemption payment is equal
to the stated principal amount of $1,000. |

In this example, the optional early redemption feature limits
the term of your investment to approximately 21 months and you may
not be able to reinvest at comparable terms or returns. If the
securities are redeemed early, you will stop receiving contingent
quarterly payments. The total payments on the securities will
amount to $1,061.50 per security.

Examples 3 and 4 illustrate the payment at maturity per security
based on the final index value.
|
§ |
In Example 3, the securities are not redeemed prior to
maturity and the closing level of the underlying index remains
below the downside threshold level throughout the term of the
securities. As a result, you do not receive any contingent
quarterly payment during the term of the securities and, at
maturity, you are fully exposed to the decline in the closing level
of the underlying index. As the final index value is less than the
downside threshold level, you receive at maturity (i) the stated
principal amount times (ii) the index performance factor,
calculated as follows: |
$1,000 × 40.00 / 100.00 = $400.00
In this example, the amount you receive at maturity is
significantly less than the stated principal amount.
|
§ |
In Example 4, the securities are not redeemed prior to
maturity and the closing level of the underlying index decreases to
a final index value of 75.00. Although the final index value is
less than the initial index value, because the final index value is
still not less than the downside threshold level, you receive the
stated principal amount plus a contingent quarterly payment
with respect to the final determination date. Your payment at
maturity is calculated as follows: |
$1,000 + $20.50 = $1,020.50
In this example, although the final index value represents a 25%
decline from the initial index value, you receive the stated
principal amount per security plus the contingent quarterly
payment, equal to a total payment of $1,020.50 per security at
maturity.
The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the
securities shown above apply only if you hold the securities for
their entire term or until early redemption. These
hypotheticals do not reflect fees or expenses that would be
associated with any sale in the secondary market. If these fees and
expenses were included, the hypothetical returns and hypothetical
payments shown above would likely be lower.

Risk Factors
The following is a non-exhaustive list of certain key risk
factors for investors in the securities. For further discussion of
these and other risks, you should read the sections entitled “Risk
Factors” of the accompanying prospectus supplement and the
accompanying product supplement. We urge you to consult your
investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers in connection
with your investment in the securities.
Risks Relating to the Securities Generally
|
§ |
The securities do not guarantee the return of any principal
and your investment in the securities may result in a loss. The
terms of the securities differ from those of ordinary debt
securities in that the securities do not guarantee the return of
any of the principal amount at maturity. Instead, if the securities
have not been redeemed prior to maturity and if the final index
value is less than the downside threshold level, you will be
exposed to the decline in the closing level of the underlying
index, as compared to the initial index value, on a 1-to-1 basis
and you will receive for each security that you hold at maturity a
cash payment equal to the stated principal amount times the
index performance factor. In this case, your payment at maturity
will be less than 75% of the stated principal amount and could be
zero. |
|
§ |
You will not receive any contingent quarterly payment for
any quarterly period if the closing level of the underlying index
on the relevant determination date is less than the downside
threshold level. The terms of the securities differ from those
of ordinary debt securities in that the securities do not guarantee
the payment of regular interest. Instead, a contingent quarterly
payment will be made with respect to a quarterly period only if the
closing level of the underlying index on the relevant determination
date is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level. If
the closing level of the underlying index remains below the
downside threshold level on any determination date, you will not
receive a contingent quarterly payment for the related quarterly
period. It
is possible that the closing level of the underlying index could be
below the downside threshold level
on most or all of the determination dates so that you will
receive few
or no contingent quarterly payments. If you do not earn sufficient
contingent quarterly payments over the term of the securities, the
overall return on the securities may be less than the amount that
would be paid on one of our conventional debt securities of
comparable maturity. |
|
§ |
The contingent quarterly payment is based solely on the
closing levels of the underlying index on the specified
determination dates. Whether
the contingent quarterly payment will be made with respect to a
determination date will be based on the closing level of the
underlying index on that determination date. As a result, you will
not know whether you will receive the contingent quarterly payment
until the related determination date. Moreover, because the
contingent quarterly payment is based solely on the closing level
of the underlying index on a specific determination date, if that
closing level of the underlying index is less than the downside
threshold level, you will not receive any contingent quarterly
payment with respect to that determination date, even if the
closing level of the underlying index was higher on other days
during the term of the securities. |
|
§ |
The
securities are subject to the credit risks of JPMorgan Financial
and JPMorgan Chase & Co., and any actual or anticipated changes
to our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s credit ratings or credit
spreads may adversely affect the market value of the
securities. Investors are dependent on our and JPMorgan
Chase & Co.’s ability to pay all amounts due on the securities.
Any actual or anticipated decline in our or JPMorgan Chase &
Co.’s credit ratings or increase in our or JPMorgan Chase &
Co.’s credit spreads determined by the market for taking that
credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the
securities. If we and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were to default on
our payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to
you under the securities 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
securities. If these affiliates do not make payments to us and we
fail to make payments on the securities, 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. |
|
§ |
Investors will not
participate in any appreciation of the underlying index.
Investors will not participate in
any appreciation of the underlying index from the initial index
value, and the return on the securities will be limited to the
contingent quarterly payment that is paid with respect to each
determination date on which the closing level of the underlying
index is greater than or equal to the downside
threshold level. |

|
§ |
Early redemption
risk. The term of your investment in the securities may
be limited to as short as approximately three months by the
optional early redemption feature of the securities. Any early
redemption of the securities will be at our discretion and will not
automatically occur based on the performance of the underlying
index. It is more likely that we will redeem the securities when it
would otherwise be advantageous for you to continue to hold the
securities. As such, we will be more likely to redeem the
securities when the closing level of the underlying index on the
determination dates is at or above the downside threshold level,
which would otherwise potentially result in an amount of interest
payable on the securities that is greater than instruments issued
by us of a comparable maturity and credit rating trading in the
market. In other words, we will be more likely to redeem the
securities when the securities are paying above-market
interest. |
If the securities are redeemed prior to maturity, you will receive
no more contingent quarterly payments and may be forced to reinvest
in a lower interest rate environment. Under these circumstances,
you may not be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in
the securities at a comparable return for a similar level of risk.
On the other hand, we will be less likely to exercise our
redemption right when the closing level of the underlying index on
the determination dates is below the downside threshold level, such
that you will receive no contingent quarterly payments and/or that
you might suffer a significant loss on your investment in the
securities at maturity. Therefore, if we do not exercise our
redemption right, it is more likely that you will receive few or no
contingent quarterly payments and that you will suffer a
significant loss on your investment at maturity.
|
§ |
Secondary trading
may be limited. The securities will not be
listed on a securities exchange. There may be little or no
secondary market for the securities. Even if there is a secondary
market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade
or sell the securities easily.
JPMS may act as a market maker for the securities, but is
not required to do so. Because we do not expect that other market
makers will participate significantly in the secondary market for
the securities, the price at which you may be able to trade your
securities is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which
JPMS
is willing to buy the securities. If at any time JPMS
or another agent does not act as a market maker, it is likely that
there would be little or no secondary market for the
securities. |
|
§ |
The final terms and estimated valuation of the securities
will be provided in the pricing supplement. The final terms of
the securities will be provided in the pricing supplement. In
particular, each of the estimated value of the securities and the
contingent quarterly payment will be provided in the pricing
supplement and each may be as low as the applicable minimum set
forth on the cover of this document. Accordingly, you should
consider your potential investment in the securities based on the
minimums for the estimated value of the securities and the
contingent quarterly payment. |
|
§ |
The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in
the securities are uncertain. There is no direct legal
authority as to the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of the
securities, and we do not intend to request a ruling from the IRS.
The IRS might not accept, and a court might not uphold, the
treatment of the securities as prepaid forward contracts with
associated contingent coupons, as described in “Additional
Information about the Securities — Additional Provisions — Tax
considerations” in this document and in “Material U.S. Federal
Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement. If
the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment for
the securities, the timing and character of any income or loss on
the securities could be materially affected. Although the U.S.
federal income tax treatment of contingent quarterly payments
(including any contingent quarterly payments paid in connection
with an early redemption or at maturity) is uncertain, in
determining our reporting responsibilities we intend (in the
absence of an administrative determination or judicial ruling to
the contrary) to treat any contingent quarterly payments as
ordinary income. In addition, in 2007 Treasury and the IRS released
a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax
treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments.
The notice focuses in particular on whether to require investors in
these instruments to accrue income over the term of their
investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related
topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to
these instruments and the relevance of factors such as the nature
of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked.
While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules
and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance
promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially
affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities,
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 securities, including possible alternative treatments and
the issues presented by this notice. |
Non-U.S. Holders — Tax Considerations. The U.S.
federal income tax treatment of contingent quarterly payments is
uncertain, and although we believe it is reasonable to take a
position that contingent quarterly 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 quarterly
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
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC
Contingent Income Callable Securities due June 20, 2025
Based on the Value of the S&P 500® Index
Principal at Risk Securities
“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 securities 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
securities, including the possibility of obtaining a refund of any
withholding tax and the certification requirement described
above.
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest
|
§ |
Economic interests of the issuer, the guarantor, the
calculation agent, the agent of the offering of the securities and
other affiliates of the issuer may be different from those of
investors. We
and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the
issuance of the securities, including acting as calculation agent
and as an agent of the offering of the securities, hedging our
obligations under the securities and making the assumptions used to
determine the pricing of the securities and the estimated value of
the securities, which we refer to as the estimated value of the
securities. 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 securities. The
calculation agent will determine the initial index value, the
downside threshold level and the final index value and whether the
closing level of the underlying index on any determination date is
below the downside threshold level. Determinations made by the
calculation agent, including with respect to the occurrence or
non-occurrence of market disruption events, may affect the payment
to you at maturity or upon an early redemption. |
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 securities and the value of the
securities. It is possible that hedging or trading activities of
ours or our affiliates in connection with the securities could
result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the
value of the securities declines. Please refer to “Risk Factors —
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest” in the accompanying
product supplement for additional information about these
risks.
|
§ |
Hedging and trading activities by the issuer and its
affiliates could potentially affect the value of the securities.
The hedging or trading activities of the issuer’s affiliates and of
any other hedging counterparty with respect to the securities
on or prior to the pricing date and prior to maturity could
adversely affect the value of the underlying index. Any of
these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the pricing date
could potentially affect the initial index value and, as a result,
the downside threshold level, which is the value at or above which
the underlying index must close on each determination date in order
for you to earn a contingent quarterly payment or, if the
securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, in order for you to
avoid being exposed to the negative performance of the underlying
index at maturity. Additionally, these hedging or trading
activities during the term of the securities
could potentially affect the closing level of the underlying index
on the determination dates and, accordingly, whether investors will
receive one or more contingent quarterly payments and, if the
securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, the payment to you
at maturity. It is possible that these hedging or trading
activities could result in substantial returns for us or our
affiliates while the value of the securities declines. |
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices
of the Securities
|
§ |
The
estimated value of the securities will be lower than the original
issue price (price to public) of the securities. The estimated value of the securities is only
an estimate determined by reference to several factors. The
original issue price of the securities will exceed the estimated
value of the securities because costs associated with selling,
structuring and hedging the securities are included in the original
issue price of the securities. These costs include the selling
commissions, the structuring fee, the projected profits, if any,
that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent
in hedging our obligations under the securities and the estimated
cost of hedging our obligations under the securities. See
“Additional Information about the Securities — The estimated value
of the securities” in this document. |
|
§ |
The
estimated value of the securities does not represent future values
of the securities and may differ from others’ estimates. The
estimated value of the securities is determined by reference to
internal pricing models of our affiliates. This estimated value of the securities is
based on market conditions and other relevant factors existing at
the time of pricing and assumptions about market parameters, which
can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other
factors. Different pricing models and assumptions could provide
valuations for the securities that are greater than or less than
the estimated value of the securities. 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 securities 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 |
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC
Contingent Income Callable Securities due June 20, 2025
Based on the Value of the S&P 500® Index
Principal at Risk Securities
impact the price, if any, at which JPMS would be willing to buy
securities from you in secondary market transactions. See
“Additional Information about the Securities — The estimated value
of the securities” in this document.
|
§ |
The
estimated value of the securities is derived by reference to an
internal funding rate. The
internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated
value of the securities 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 securities as well as
the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management
costs of the securities 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
securities. The use of an internal funding rate and any potential
changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the
securities and any secondary market prices of the securities. See
“Additional Information about the Securities — The estimated value
of the securities” in this document. |
|
§ |
The
value of the securities as published by JPMS (and which may be
reflected on customer account statements) may be higher than the
then-current estimated value of the securities for a limited time
period. We generally expect
that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the
securities will be partially paid back to you in connection with
any repurchases of your securities by JPMS in an amount that will
decline to zero over an initial predetermined period. These costs
can include selling commissions, the structuring fee, projected
hedging profits, if any, and, in some circumstances, estimated
hedging costs and our internal secondary market funding rates for
structured debt issuances. See “Additional Information about the
Securities — Secondary market prices of the securities” in this
document for additional information relating to this initial
period. Accordingly, the estimated value of your securities during
this initial period may be lower than the value of the securities
as published by JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer
account statements). |
|
§ |
Secondary market
prices of the securities will likely be lower than the original
issue price of the securities. Any secondary market prices of the securities
will likely be lower than the original issue price of the
securities because, among other things, secondary market prices
take into account our internal secondary market funding rates for
structured debt issuances and, also, because secondary market
prices may exclude selling commissions, the structuring fee,
projected hedging profits, if any, and estimated hedging costs that
are included in the original issue price of the securities. As a
result, the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy
securities 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 securities. |
The securities are not designed
to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be
able and willing to hold your securities to maturity. See “— Risks
Relating to the Securities Generally — Secondary trading may be
limited” above.
|
§ |
Secondary market
prices of the securities will be impacted by many economic and
market factors. The
secondary market price of the securities during their term will be
impacted by a number of economic and market factors, which may
either offset or magnify each other, aside from the selling
commissions, structuring fee, projected hedging profits, if any,
estimated hedging costs and the closing level of the underlying
index, including: |
|
o |
any actual or potential change in our or JPMorgan Chase &
Co.’s creditworthiness or credit spreads; |
|
o |
customary bid-ask spreads for similarly sized trades; |
|
o |
our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt
issuances; |
|
o |
the actual and expected volatility of the underlying
index; |
|
o |
the time to maturity of the securities; |
|
o |
whether the closing level of the underlying index has been, or
is expected to be, less than the downside threshold level on any
determination date and whether the final index value is expected to
be less than the downside threshold level; |
|
o |
whether we are expected to exercise our right to redeem the
securities early; |
|
o |
the dividend rates on the equity securities included in the
underlying index; |
|
o |
interest and yield rates in the market generally; and |
|
o |
a variety of other economic, financial, political, regulatory
and judicial events. |

Additionally, independent pricing vendors and/or third party
broker-dealers may publish a price for the securities, which may
also be reflected on customer account statements. This price may be
different (higher or lower) than the price of the securities, if
any, at which JPMS may be willing to purchase your securities in
the secondary market.
Risks Relating to the Underlying Index

not equivalent to investing in the underlying index or its
component stocks. Investors in the securities will not have
voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions
or any other rights with respect to the stocks that constitute the

|
§ |
Adjustments to the underlying index could adversely affect
the value of the securities. The underlying index
publisher may discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of
the underlying index at any time. In these circumstances, the
calculation agent will have the sole discretion to substitute a
successor index that is comparable to the discontinued underlying
index and is not precluded from considering indices that are
calculated and published by the calculation agent or any of its
affiliates. |
|
§ |
Governmental legislative and regulatory actions, including
sanctions, could adversely affect your investment in the
securities. Governmental legislative and regulatory
actions, including, without limitation, sanctions-related actions
by the U.S. or a foreign government, could prohibit or otherwise
restrict persons from holding the securities or the securities
included in the underlying index, or engaging in transactions in
them, and any such action could adversely affect the value of the
securities or the underlying index. These legislative and
regulatory actions could result in restrictions on the
securities. You may lose a significant portion or all of your
initial investment in the securities if you are forced to divest
the securities due to the government mandates, especially if such
divestment must be made at a time when the value of the securities
has declined. |

The
estimated value of the securities: |
The estimated value of the securities set forth on the cover of
this document is equal to the sum of the values of the following
hypothetical components: (1) a fixed-income debt component with the
same maturity as the securities, valued using the internal funding
rate described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives
underlying the economic terms of the securities. The estimated
value of the securities does not represent a minimum price at which
JPMS would be willing to buy your securities in any secondary
market (if any exists) at any time. The internal funding rate used
in the determination of the estimated value of the securities 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 securities as well as the higher issuance, operational and
ongoing liability management costs of the securities 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 securities. The use of an
internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may
have an adverse effect on the terms of the securities and any
secondary market prices of the securities. For additional
information, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Estimated
Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Securities — The estimated
value of the securities is derived by reference to an internal
funding rate” in this document. The value of the derivative or
derivatives underlying the economic terms of the securities 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 securities on the pricing
date is based on market conditions and other relevant factors and
assumptions existing at that time. See “Risk Factors — Risks
Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the
Securities — The estimated value of the securities does not
represent future values of the securities and may differ from
others’ estimates” in this document.
The
estimated value of the securities will be lower than the original
issue price of the securities because costs associated with
selling, structuring and hedging the securities are included in the
original issue price of the securities. These costs include the
selling commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or
unaffiliated dealers, the structuring fee, the projected profits,
if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks
inherent in hedging our obligations under the securities and the
estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the securities.
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 securities may be allowed to other affiliated
or unaffiliated dealers, and we or one or more of our affiliates
will retain any remaining hedging profits. See “Risk Factors —
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices
of the Securities — The estimated value of the securities will be
lower than the original issue price (price to public) of the
securities” in this document.
|
Secondary
market prices of the securities: |
For information about factors that will impact
any secondary market prices of the securities, see “Risk Factors —
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices
of the Securities — Secondary market prices of the securities will
be impacted by many economic and market factors” in this
document. In addition, we generally expect that some of
the costs included in the original issue price of the securities
will be partially paid back to you in connection with any
repurchases of your securities by JPMS in an amount that will
decline to zero over an initial predetermined period that is
intended to be the shorter of two years and one-half of the stated
term of the securities. The length of any such initial
period reflects the structure of the securities, whether our
affiliates expect to earn a profit in connection with our hedging
activities, the estimated costs of hedging the securities and when
these costs are incurred, as determined by our
affiliates. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the
Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Securities — The
value of the securities as published by JPMS (and which may be
reflected on customer account statements) may be higher than the
then-current estimated value of the securities for a limited time
period.” |

Tax considerations:
|
You
should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal
Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no.
4-I. In determining our reporting responsibilities we intend to
treat (i) the securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes as
prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons and
(ii) any contingent quarterly 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 securities could
be materially affected. In addition, in 2007 Treasury and the IRS
released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income
tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar
instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require
investors in these instruments to accrue income over the term of
their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related
topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to
these instruments and the relevance of factors such as the nature
of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked.
While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules
and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance
promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially
affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities,
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
securities, 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 quarterly payments is uncertain,
and although we believe it is reasonable to take a position that
contingent quarterly 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 quarterly
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 securities 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
securities, 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 securities with regard to Non-U.S. Holders.
Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may
disagree with this determination. Section 871(m) is complex and its
application may depend on your particular circumstances, including
whether you enter into other transactions with respect to an
Underlying Security. If necessary, further information regarding
the potential application of Section 871(m) will be provided in the
pricing supplement for the securities. You should consult your tax
adviser regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to
the securities.
In
the event of any withholding on the securities, we will not be
required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so
withheld.

We
or our affiliate may enter into swap agreements or related hedge

payments pursuant to the swap or related hedge transactions. See “—
Supplemental use of proceeds and hedging” above and “Use of

Canada
The
securities may be sold only to purchasers purchasing, or deemed to
be purchasing, as principal that are accredited investors, as
defined in National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions (“NI
45-106”) or subsection 73.3(1) of the Securities Act (Ontario) (the
“OSA”), and are permitted clients, as defined in National
Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing
Registrant Obligations (“NI-33-103”).
Accordingly, by placing a purchase order for securities, each
purchaser of securities in Canada will be deemed to have
represented to the issuer, the guarantor and each agent and dealer
participating in the sale of the securities that such
purchaser:
· is
an “accredited investor” as defined in section 1.1 of NI 45-106 or
subsection 73.3(1) of the OSA and is either purchasing the
securities as principal for its own account, or is deemed to be
purchasing the securities as principal by applicable law;
· is
a “permitted client” as defined in section 1.1 of NI 31-103 and, in
particular, if the purchaser is an individual, he or she
beneficially owns financial assets (as defined in section 1.1 of NI
45-106) having an aggregate realizable value that, before taxes but
net of any related liabilities, exceeds CAD$5,000,000;
· is
not a company or other entity created or being used solely to
purchase or hold securities as an “accredited investor”; and
· is
not an “insider” of the issuer or the guarantor and is not
registered as a dealer, adviser or otherwise under the securities
laws of any province or territory of Canada.
The
securities are being distributed in Canada on a private placement
basis only and therefore any resale of the securities must be made
in accordance with an exemption from, or in a transaction not
subject to, the prospectus requirements of applicable securities
laws. Each of the issuer and the guarantor is not a reporting
issuer in any province or territory in Canada and the securities
are not listed on any stock exchange in Canada and there is
currently no public market for the securities in Canada. Each of
the issuer and the guarantor currently has no intention of becoming
a reporting issuer in Canada, filing a prospectus with any
securities regulatory authority in Canada to qualify the resale of
the securities to the public, or listing its securities on any
stock exchange in Canada. Canadian purchasers are advised to seek
legal advice prior to any resale of the securities.
Securities legislation in certain provinces or territories of
Canada may provide a purchaser with remedies for rescission or
damages if this document (including any amendment thereto) contains
a misrepresentation, provided that the remedies for rescission or
damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit
prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser’s
province or territory. The purchaser should refer to any applicable
provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s
province or territory for particulars of these rights or consult
with a legal advisor.
The
issuer, the guarantor, the agents and the dealers are relying on
the statutory exemption contained in section 3A.3 of National
Instrument 33-105 Underwriting Conflicts (“NI 33-105”), which
provides that the disclosure requirements of NI 33-105 regarding
underwriter conflicts of interest in connection with this offering
are not applicable.
By
purchasing securities, the purchaser acknowledges that the issuer,
the guarantor, the agents and the dealers and their respective
agents and advisers may each collect, use and disclose its name,
telephone number, address, the number and value of any securities
purchased and other specified personally identifiable information
(the “personal information”), including the principal amount of
securities that it has purchased and whether the purchaser is an
“insider” of the issuer or the guarantor or a “registrant” for
purposes of meeting legal, regulatory and audit requirements and as
otherwise permitted or required by law or regulation. By purchasing
securities, the purchaser consents to the foregoing collection, use
and disclosure of the personal information pertaining to the
purchaser.
Furthermore, by purchasing securities, the purchaser acknowledges
that the personal information concerning the purchaser (A) will be
disclosed to the relevant Canadian securities regulatory
authorities and may become available to the public in accordance
with the requirements of applicable securities and freedom of
information laws and the purchaser consents to the disclosure of
the personal information; (B) is being collected indirectly by the
applicable Canadian securities regulatory authority under the
authority granted to it in securities legislation; and (C) is being
collected for the purposes of the administration and enforcement of
the applicable Canadian securities legislation. By purchasing
securities, the purchaser shall be deemed to have authorized such
indirect collection of the personal information by the relevant
Canadian securities regulatory authorities.
Questions about the indirect collection of personal information
should be directed to the securities regulatory authority in the
province of the purchaser, using the following contact information:
in British Columbia, the British Columbia Securities Commission can
be contacted at P.O. Box 10142, Pacific

the indirect collection of the personal information by the
securities regulatory authority or regulator in the local
jurisdiction.
The
purchaser acknowledges that each of the issuer and the guarantor is
an entity formed under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of
Canada. Some or all of the managers and officers of the issuer or
the guarantor may be located outside Canada and, as a result, it
may not be possible for purchasers to effect service of process
within Canada upon such entity or such persons. All or a
substantial portion of the assets of each of the issuer and the
guarantor may be located outside of Canada and, as a result, it may
not be possible to satisfy a judgment in Canada against the issuer,
the guarantor or their respective directors and officers or to
enforce a judgment obtained in Canadian courts against the issuer,
the guarantor or such persons outside of Canada. The securities
will not be governed by the laws of any province or territory of
Canada. Accordingly, it may not be possible to enforce securities
in accordance with their terms in a Canadian court.
This
document does not address the Canadian tax consequences of
ownership of securities. Prospective purchasers should consult
their own tax advisors with respect to the Canadian and other tax
considerations applicable to them.
