JPMorgan Chase Financial Company
LLC
Medium-Term Notes, Series A
$
Autocallable Buffered Equity Notes due 2024
(Linked to the Financial Select Sector SPDR® Fund)
Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
The notes will not bear interest. The notes will mature on the stated maturity
date (January 30, 2024, subject to adjustment) unless they are automatically called on the call observation date (February 3, 2023, subject
to adjustment). Your notes will be automatically called on the call observation date if the closing level of the Financial Select Sector
SPDR ® Fund (which we refer to as the underlier) on that date is equal to or greater than the call level of 90.00% of the
initial underlier level (set on the trade date), resulting in a payment on the call payment date, for each $1,000 principal amount of
note, equal to $1,000 plus the product of $1,000 times the call premium amount. The call premium amount is expected
to be between 7.16% and 8.40%.
If your notes are not automatically called, the amount that you will be paid on your
notes on the stated maturity date is based on the performance of the underlier as measured from and including the trade date (on or about
January 26, 2022) to and including the determination date (January 26, 2024, subject to adjustment). If the final underlier level on the
determination date is greater than or equal to 90.00% of the initial underlier level, you will receive a cash payment equal to the principal
amount plus the product of $1,000 times the maturity date premium amount (expected to be between 14.32% and 16.80%)
for each $1,000 principal amount note. If the final underlier level declines by more than 10.00% from the initial underlier level, the
return on your notes will be negative. You could lose your entire investment in the notes. Any payment on the notes is subject to the
credit risk of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC (“JPMorgan Financial”), as issuer of the notes, and the credit risk of
JPMorgan Chase & Co., as guarantor of the notes.
The return on your notes is capped. The maximum payment you could receive is limited
if your notes are called on the call observation date because of the call premium amount. If the notes are not automatically called, your
payment at maturity is limited to between $1,143.20 and $1,168.00 for each $1,000 principal amount note.
If your notes are not automatically called on the call observation date, to determine
your payment at maturity, we will calculate the underlier return, which is the percentage increase or decrease in the final underlier
level from the initial underlier level. On the stated maturity date, for each $1,000 principal amount note, you will receive an amount
in cash equal to:
·
if the underlier return is greater than or equal to -10.00% (the final underlier level is greater than
or equal to 90.00% of the initial underlier level), the sum of (i) $1,000 plus (ii) the product of (a) $1,000
times (b) the maturity date premium amount; or
·
if the underlier return is below -10.00% (the final underlier level is less than the initial
underlier level by more than 10.00%), the sum of (i) $1,000 plus (ii) the product of (a) $1,000 times (b)
approximately 1.1111 times (c) the sum of the underlier return plus 10.00%. You will receive less than $1,000.
Your investment in the notes involves certain risks, including, among other things,
our credit risk. See “Risk Factors” on page S-2 of the accompanying prospectus supplement, “Risk Factors” on page
PS-12 of the accompanying product supplement, “Risk Factors” on page US-3 of the accompanying underlying supplement and “Selected
Risk Factors” on page PS-13 of this pricing supplement.
The foregoing is only a brief summary of the terms of your notes. You should read the
additional disclosure provided herein so that you may better understand the terms and risks of your investment.
If the notes priced today and assuming a maturity date premium amount equal to
the middle of the range listed above, the estimated value of the notes would be approximately $971.10 per $1,000 principal amount note.
The estimated value of the notes, when the terms of the notes are set, will be provided in the final pricing supplement and will not be
less than $961.10 per $1,000 principal amount note. See “Summary Information — The Estimated Value of the Notes”
on page PS-7 of this pricing supplement for additional information about the estimated value of the notes and “Summary Information
— Secondary Market Prices of the Notes” on page PS-8 of this pricing supplement for information about secondary market prices
of the notes.

SUMMARY INFORMATION
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.

Our Central Index Key, or CIK, on the SEC website is 1665650, and JPMorgan Chase
& Co.’s CIK is 19617. As used in this pricing supplement, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to
JPMorgan Financial.
Key Terms
Issuer: JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, an indirect, wholly owned
finance subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Guarantor: JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Underlier: the Financial Select Sector SPDR® Fund (Bloomberg
symbol, “XLF UP Equity”). The accompanying product supplement refers to the underlier as the “Fund.”
Underlying index: the Financial Select Sector Index, as maintained by
S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC
Principal amount: each note will have a principal amount of $1,000; $ in
the aggregate for all the offered notes; the aggregate principal amount of the offered notes may be increased if the issuer, at its sole
option, decides to sell an additional amount of the offered notes on a date subsequent to the date of this pricing supplement
Purchase at amount other than principal amount: the amount we will pay
you on the call payment date or at the stated maturity date, as applicable, for your notes will not be adjusted based on the price you
pay for your notes, so if you acquire notes at a premium (or discount) to the principal amount and hold them to the call payment date
or the stated maturity date, as applicable, it could affect your investment in a number of ways. The return on your investment in the
notes will be lower (or higher) than
it would have been had you purchased the notes at the principal amount. Also,
the stated buffer level would not offer the same benefit to your investment as would be the case if you had purchased the notes at the
principal amount. See “Selected Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Notes Generally — If You Purchase Your Notes at
a Premium to the Principal Amount, the Return on Your Investment Will Be Lower Than the Return on Notes Purchased at the Principal Amount
and the Impact of Certain Key Terms of the Notes Will Be Negatively Affected” on page PS-14 of this pricing supplement.
Cash settlement amount (on the call payment date): if your notes are automatically
called on the call observation date because the closing level of the underlier on that day is equal to or greater than the
call level, for each $1,000 principal amount note, we will pay you on the call payment date an amount in cash equal to the sum
of (i) $1,000 plus (ii) the product of $1,000 times the call premium amount.
Cash settlement amount (on the stated maturity date): if your notes are
not automatically called, for each $1,000 principal amount note, we will pay you on the stated maturity date an amount in cash equal to:
|
·
|
if the final underlier level is greater than or equal to the buffer level, the sum of (i) $1,000 plus
(ii) the product of (a) $1,000 times (b) the maturity date premium amount; or
|
|
·
|
if the final underlier level is less than the buffer level, the sum of (i) $1,000 plus (ii) the product
of (a) $1,000 times (b) the buffer rate times (c) the sum of the underlier return plus the buffer amount.
You will receive less than $1,000.
|
Initial underlier level (to be set on the trade date and will be the closing
level of the underlier on the trade date): $ . The accompanying product
supplement refers to the initial underlier level as the “Initial Value.”
Final underlier level: the closing level of the underlier on the determination
date. In certain circumstances, the closing level of the underlier will be based on the alternative calculation of the underlier described
under “General Terms of Notes — Postponement of a Determination Date — Notes Linked to a Single Underlying — Notes
Linked to a Single Underlying (Other Than a Commodity Index)” on page PS-46 of the accompanying product supplement or “The
Underlyings — Funds — Discontinuation of a Fund; Alternate Calculation of Closing Price and Trading Price” on page PS-77
of the accompanying product supplement. The accompanying product supplement refers to the final underlier level as the “Final Value.”
Call level: 90.00% of the initial underlier level, with respect to the
call observation date
Underlier return: the quotient of (i) the final underlier level
minus the initial underlier level divided by (ii) the initial underlier level, expressed as a percentage
Call premium amount (to be set on the trade date): expected to be between
7.16% and 8.40% with respect to the call observation date. Therefore, the maximum payment you could receive on the call payment date is
expected to be between $1,071.60 and $1,084.00 if your notes are called on the call observation date.
Maturity date premium amount (to be set on the trade date): expected to
be between 14.32% and 16.80%. Therefore, the maximum payment you could receive on the stated maturity date is expected to be between $1,143.20
and $1,168.00.
Buffer level: 90.00% of the initial underlier level
Buffer amount: 10.00%
Buffer rate: the quotient of the initial underlier level divided
by the buffer level, which equals approximately 1.1111
Trade date: on or about January 26, 2022
Original issue date (settlement date): on or about February 2, 2022
Call observation date: February 3, 2023, subject to postponement in the
event of a market disruption event and as described under “General Terms of Notes — Postponement of a Determination Date —
Notes Linked to a Single Underlying — Notes Linked to a Single Underlying (Other Than a Commodity Index)” on page PS-46 of
the accompanying product supplement. The call observation date is considered a determination date under the accompanying product supplement.

event of a market disruption event and as described under “General Terms of Notes — Postponement of a Payment Date”
on page PS-46 of the accompanying product supplement. The accompanying product supplement refers to the stated maturity date as the “maturity
date.”

determining the closing level of the underlier and is set initially at 1.0 on the trade date. The share adjustment factor is subject to
adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events affecting the underlier. See “The Underlyings — Funds — Price of One
Share of a Fund” on page PS-72 of the accompanying product supplement and “The Underlyings — Funds — Anti-Dilution
Adjustments” on page PS-74 of the accompanying product supplement for further information.

Tax treatment: You should review carefully the section entitled “Material
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 4-II. The following discussion, when read in combination
with that section, constitutes the full opinion of our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, regarding the material U.S.
federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of notes.
Based on current market conditions, in the opinion of our special tax counsel
it is reasonable to treat the notes as “open transactions” that are not debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
as more fully described in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Notes
Treated as Open Transactions That Are Not Debt Instruments” in the accompanying product supplement. Assuming this treatment is respected,
the gain or loss on your notes should be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if you hold your notes for more than a year, whether
or not you are an initial purchaser of notes at the issue price. However, the IRS or a court may not respect this treatment, in which
case the timing and character of any income or loss on the notes could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, in 2007 Treasury
and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts”
and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require investors in these instruments to accrue income over the
term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect
to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the
degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax;
and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” regime, which very generally can operate
to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income and impose a notional interest charge. While the notice requests comments
on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these
issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the notes, possibly with retroactive effect. 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 this notice.
Section 871(m) of the Code and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section
871(m)”) generally impose a 30% withholding tax (unless an income tax treaty applies) on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid
to Non-U.S. Holders with respect to certain financial instruments linked to U.S. equities or indices that include U.S. equities. Section
871(m) provides certain exceptions to this withholding regime, including for instruments linked to certain broad-based indices that meet
requirements set forth in the applicable Treasury regulations. Additionally, a recent IRS notice excludes from the scope of Section 871(m)
instruments issued prior to January 1, 2023 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.
ERISA: as described under “Benefit Plan Investor Considerations”
on page PS-91 of the accompanying product supplement.
Supplemental plan of distribution: as described under “Plan of Distribution
(Conflicts of Interest)” on page PS-89 of the accompanying product supplement; we estimate that our share of the total offering
expenses, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $ .
We expect to agree to sell to JPMS, and JPMS expects to agree to purchase from us, the aggregate principal amount of the notes specified
on the front cover of this pricing supplement. JPMS proposes initially to offer the notes to the public at the original issue price set
forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement, and to an unaffiliated dealer at that price and to pay that dealer a selling commission
not in excess of 2.00% of the principal amount.
We expect to deliver the notes against payment therefor in New York, New York
on or about February 2, 2022, which is the fifth scheduled business day following the date of this pricing supplement and of the pricing
of the notes. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required
to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade
notes on any date prior to two business days before delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes are initially expected
to settle in five business days (T + 5), to specify alternative settlement arrangements
to prevent a failed settlement.
Conflicts of interest: JPMS has a “conflict of interest” within
the meaning of FINRA Rule 5121 in any offering of the notes in which it participates because JPMorgan Chase & Co. owns, directly or
indirectly, all of the outstanding equity securities of JPMS, because JPMS and we are under common control by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
and because the net proceeds received from the sale of the notes will be used, in part, by JPMS or its affiliates in connection with hedging
our obligations under the notes. The offering of the notes will comply with the requirements of Rule 5121 of Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) regarding a FINRA member firm’s underwriting of securities of an affiliate. In accordance
with FINRA Rule 5121, neither JPMS nor any other affiliated agent of ours may make sales in the offering of the notes to any of its discretionary
accounts without the specific written approval of the customer.
Calculation agent: JPMS
CUSIP no.: 48133CXZ0
ISIN no.: US48133CXZ03
FDIC: the notes are not bank deposits and are not insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency, nor are they obligations of, or guaranteed by, a bank.

In addition, the following terms used in this pricing supplement are not defined
in the accompanying product supplement: underlier return, call premium amount, maturity date premium amount, call observation date, call
payment date, cash settlement amount, call level, buffer level, buffer amount and buffer rate. Accordingly, please refer to “Key
Terms” on page PS-3 of this pricing supplement for the definitions of these terms.
The Estimated Value of the Notes
The estimated value of the notes when the terms of the notes are set, which we
refer to as the estimated value of the notes, 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 Factors — 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” on page PS-16 of this pricing supplement. The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the
notes is derived from internal pricing models of our affiliates. These models are dependent on inputs such as the traded market prices
of comparable derivative instruments and on various other inputs, some of which are market-observable, and which can include volatility,
dividend rates, interest rates and other factors, as well as assumptions about future market events and/or environments. Accordingly,
the estimated value of the notes is determined when the terms of the notes are set based on market conditions and other relevant factors
and assumptions existing at that time. See “Selected Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market
Prices of the Notes — The Estimated Value of the Notes Does Not Represent Future Values of the Notes and May Differ from Others’
Estimates” on page PS-16 of this pricing supplement.
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 the unaffiliated dealer, 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 realized in hedging our
obligations under the notes, if any, may be allowed to other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, and we or one or more of our affiliates
will retain any remaining hedging profits. A fee will also be paid to SIMON Markets LLC, an electronic platform affiliated with Goldman
Sachs & Co. LLC, who is acting as a dealer in connection with the distribution of the notes. See “Selected Risk Factors —
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 of the Notes” on page PS-16 of this pricing supplement.
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes
For information about factors that will impact any secondary market prices of
the notes, see “Selected 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” on page PS-17 of this pricing supplement.
In addition, we generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the notes will be partially paid back
to you in connection with any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over the period from the trade
date through April 26, 2022. 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 Factors — 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” on page PS-16 of 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 “Hypothetical Examples” on page PS-9 of this pricing supplement for
an illustration of the risk-return profile of the notes and “The Underlier” on page PS-20 of 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 the unaffiliated dealer, 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.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLES
The following table and examples are provided for purposes of illustration only.
They should not be taken as an indication or prediction of future investment results and are intended merely to illustrate the impact
that the various hypothetical underlier levels on the call observation date and on the determination date could have on whether the notes
are automatically called on the call observation date or the cash settlement amount on the stated maturity date, as the case may be, assuming
all other variables remain constant.
The examples below are based on a range of closing levels for the underlier that
are entirely hypothetical; no one can predict what the underlier level will be on any day throughout the term of your notes, and no one
can predict what the closing level of the underlier will be on the call observation date or on the determination date. The underlier has
been highly volatile in the past — meaning that the underlier level has changed considerably in relatively short periods —
and its performance cannot be predicted for any future period.
The information in the following examples reflects hypothetical rates of return on the
offered notes assuming that they are purchased on the original issue date at the principal amount and held to the call payment date or
the stated maturity date, as applicable. If you sell your notes in a secondary market prior to the stated maturity date, your return will
depend upon the market value of your notes at the time of sale, which may be affected by a number of factors that are not reflected in
the table below, such as interest rates, the volatility of the underlier and our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness.
In addition, the estimated value of the notes will be less than the original issue price. For more information on the estimated value
of the notes, see “Summary Information — The Estimated Value of the Notes” on page PS-7 of this pricing supplement.
The information in the table also reflects the key terms and assumptions in the box below.

During the term of the notes, the underlier is not delisted, liquidated or otherwise
terminated, the underlier and the underlying index have not been changed in any material respect and the underlier has not been otherwise
modified so that it does not, in the opinion of the calculation agent, fairly represent the price of the underlier had those changes or
modifications not been made
Notes purchased on original issue date at the principal amount and held to the
call payment date or the stated maturity date, as applicable
|
Moreover, we have not yet set the initial underlier level that will serve as
the baseline for determining the underlier return and the amount that we will pay on your notes, if any, on the call payment date or at
maturity. We will not do so until the trade date. As a result, the actual initial underlier level may differ substantially from the underlier
level prior to the trade date.
For these reasons, the actual performance of the underlier over the term of your
notes, as well as whether the notes are automatically called on the call observation date and the amount payable on the call payment date
or at maturity, if any, may bear little relation to the hypothetical examples shown below or to the historical underlier levels shown
elsewhere in this pricing supplement. For information about the historical levels of the underlier during recent periods, see “The
Underlier — Historical Closing Levels of
the Underlier” below. Before investing in the offered notes, you should
consult publicly available information to determine the levels of the underlier between the date of this pricing supplement and the date
of your purchase of the offered notes.
Also, the hypothetical examples shown below do not take into account the effects
of applicable taxes. Because of the U.S. tax treatment applicable to your notes, tax liabilities could affect the after-tax rate of return
on your notes to a comparatively greater extent than the after-tax return on the underlier stocks.
If your notes are automatically called on the call observation date (i.e.,
the closing level of the underlier on the call observation date is greater than or equal to the call level), the cash settlement
amount that we would deliver for each $1,000 principal amount note on the call payment date would be the sum of $1,000 plus
the product of $1,000 times the call premium amount. If, for example, the closing level of the underlier on the call observation
date were determined to be 115.000% of the initial underlier level, your notes would be automatically called and the cash settlement amount
that we would deliver on your notes on the call payment date would be 107.160% of the principal amount or $1,071.60 for each $1,000 principal
amount note.
If the notes are not automatically called on the call observation date
(i.e., the closing level of the underlier on the call observation date is less than the call level), the cash settlement
amount we would deliver for each $1,000 principal amount note on the stated maturity date will depend on the performance of the underlier
on the determination date, as shown in the table below. The table below assumes that the notes have not been automatically called on the
call observation date and reflects hypothetical cash settlement amounts that you could receive on the stated maturity date.
The levels in the left column of the table below represent hypothetical final underlier
levels and are expressed as percentages of the initial underlier level. The amounts in the right column represent the hypothetical payments
at maturity, based on the corresponding hypothetical final underlier level (expressed as a percentage of the initial underlier level),
and are expressed as percentages of the principal amount of a note (rounded to the nearest one-thousandth of a percent). Thus, a hypothetical
payment at maturity of 100.000% means that the value of the cash payment that we would deliver for each $1,000 of the outstanding principal
amount of the offered notes on the stated maturity date would equal 100.000% of the principal amount of a note, based on the corresponding
hypothetical final underlier level (expressed as a percentage of the initial underlier level) and the assumptions noted above.

If, for example, the notes have not been automatically called on the call observation
date and the final underlier level were determined to be 25.000% of the initial underlier level, the payment that we would deliver on
your notes at maturity would be approximately 27.778% of the principal amount of your notes, as shown in the table above. As a result,
if you purchased your notes on the original issue date at the principal amount and held them to the stated maturity date, you would lose
approximately 72.222% of your investment (if you purchased your notes at a premium to principal amount you would lose a correspondingly
higher percentage of your investment). In addition, if the final underlier level were determined to be 150.000% of the initial underlier
level, the payment that we would deliver on your notes at maturity would be 114.320% of each $1,000 principal amount note, as shown in
the table above. As a result, if you held your notes to the stated maturity date, the cash settlement amount would be capped and you would
not benefit from any increase in the final underlier level above the initial underlier level.
The payments on the call payment date or at maturity shown above are entirely
hypothetical; they are based on closing levels for the underlier that may not be achieved on the call observation date or the determination
date, as applicable, and on assumptions that may prove to be erroneous. The actual market value of your notes on the stated maturity date
or at any other time, including any time you may wish to sell your notes, may bear little relation to the hypothetical payments at maturity
shown above, and these amounts should not be viewed as an indication of the financial return on an investment in the offered notes. The
hypothetical payments on the call payment date or at maturity on notes held to the call payment date or the stated maturity date, as applicable,
in the examples above assume you purchased your notes at their principal amount and have not been adjusted to reflect the actual price
you pay for your notes. The return on your investment (whether positive or negative) in your notes will be affected by the amount you
pay for your notes. If you purchase your notes for a price other than the principal amount, the return on your investment will differ
from, and may be significantly lower than, the hypothetical returns suggested by the above examples. Please read “Selected 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” on page PS-17 of this pricing supplement.
The hypothetical returns 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 fees or expenses that would be associated
with any sale in the secondary market. If these fees and expenses were included, the hypothetical returns shown above would likely be
lower.
We cannot predict the actual closing level of the underlier
on the call observation date or the determination date or what the market value of your notes will be on any particular day, nor can we
predict the relationship between the underlier level and the market value of your notes at any time prior to the stated maturity date.
The actual amount that you will receive, if any, on the call payment date or at maturity and the rate of return on the offered notes will
depend on whether the notes are automatically called, the actual initial underlier level, call premium amount and maturity date premium
amount we will provide in the final pricing supplement and the actual final underlier level as determined by the calculation agent as
described above. Moreover, the assumptions on which the hypothetical returns are based may turn out to be inaccurate. Consequently, the
amount of cash to be paid in respect of your notes, if any, on the call payment date or on the stated maturity date may be very different
from the information reflected in the examples above.
Selected Risk Factors
An investment in your notes is subject to the risks
described below, as well as the risks described under the “Risk Factors” sections of the accompanying prospectus supplement,
the accompanying product supplement and the accompanying underlying supplement. Your notes are a riskier investment than ordinary debt
securities. Also, your notes are not equivalent to investing directly in the underlier stocks, i.e., the stocks held by the underlier
to which your notes are linked. You should carefully consider whether the offered notes are suited to your particular circumstances.
Risks Relating to the Notes Generally
You May Lose Some or All of Your Investment in the Notes
The notes do not guarantee any return of principal. If your notes are not automatically
called on the call observation date, the return on the notes at maturity is linked to the performance of the underlier and will depend
on whether, and the extent to which, the underlier return is positive or negative. Your investment will be exposed to loss on a leveraged
basis if the final underlier level is less than the initial underlier level by more than 10%. For every 1% that the final underlier level
is less than the initial underlier level by more than 10%, you will lose an amount equal to approximately 1.1111% of the principal amount
of your notes. Accordingly, you could lose some or all of your initial investment at maturity. Also, the market price of your notes prior
to the stated maturity date may be significantly lower than the purchase price you pay for your notes. Consequently, if you sell your
notes before the stated maturity date, you may receive far less than the amount of your investment in the notes.
The Cash Settlement Amount You Will Receive on the Call
Payment Date or on the Stated Maturity Date, as the Case May Be, Will Be Capped
The cash settlement amount you may receive on any call payment date or the stated
maturity date is capped, regardless of any appreciation in the underlier, which may be significant. Even if the closing level of
the underlier on the call observation date exceeds the call level or if the final underlier level exceeds the buffer level, the return
on your notes on the call payment date or the stated maturity date, as applicable, will be limited to the call premium amount or the maturity
date premium amount (each of which will be set on the trade date), as applicable, and you will not benefit from the increase in the closing
level of the underlier above the initial underlier level. Accordingly, the amount payable on your notes may be significantly less
than it would have been had you invested directly in the underlier.
Your Notes Are Subject to Automatic Call
We will automatically call all, but not part, of your notes on the call observation
date, if the closing level of the underlier on that date is greater than or equal to the call level. Under these circumstances, we will
pay you the applicable cash settlement amount on the call payment date. Therefore, the term for your notes may be reduced to as short
as approximately one year after the original issue date. You may not be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the notes
at a comparable return for a similar level of risk in the event the notes are automatically called prior to maturity.
The Notes Are Subject to the Credit Risks of JPMorgan
Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co.
The notes are subject to our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s credit risks,
and our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s credit ratings and credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the notes. 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.
No Interest or Dividend Payments or Voting Rights
As a holder of the notes, you will not receive interest payments. As a result,
even if the amount payable for your notes on the call payment date or the stated maturity date exceeds the principal amount of your notes,
the overall return you earn on your notes may be less than you would have earned by investing in a non-fund-linked debt security of comparable
maturity that bears interest at a prevailing market rate. In addition, as a holder of the notes, you will not have voting rights or rights
to receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of the underlier stocks or shares of the underlier would
have.
We May Sell an Additional Aggregate Principal Amount of
the Notes at a Different Issue Price
At our sole option, we may decide to sell an additional aggregate principal amount
of the notes subsequent to the date of this pricing supplement. The issue price of the notes in the subsequent sale may differ substantially
(higher or lower) from the original issue price you paid as provided on the cover of this pricing supplement.
If You Purchase Your Notes at a Premium to the Principal
Amount, the Return on Your Investment Will Be Lower Than the Return on Notes Purchased at the Principal Amount and the Impact of Certain
Key Terms of the Notes Will Be Negatively Affected
The amount you will be paid for your notes on the call payment date or the stated
maturity date, as applicable, will not be adjusted based on the price you pay for the notes. If you purchase notes at a price that differs
from the principal amount of the notes, then the return on your investment in the notes held to the call payment date or the stated maturity
date, as applicable, will differ from, and may be substantially less than, the return on notes purchased at the principal amount. If you
purchase your notes at a premium to the principal amount and hold them to the call payment date or the stated maturity date, as applicable,
the return on your investment in the notes will be lower than it would have been had you purchased the notes at the principal amount or
a discount to the principal amount. In addition, the impact of the buffer level on the return on your investment will depend upon the
price you pay for your notes relative to the principal amount. For example, if you purchase your notes at a premium to the principal amount
and the notes have not been automatically called, the buffer level, while still providing an increase in the return on the notes if the
final underlier level is greater than or equal to the buffer level, will allow a greater percentage decrease in your investment in the
notes than would have been the case for notes purchased at the principal amount or a discount to the principal amount.
Lack of Liquidity
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. JPMS intends to offer
to purchase the notes in the secondary market but is not required to do so. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough
liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the notes easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the notes,
the price at which you may be able to trade your notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which JPMS is willing to buy the notes.
The Final Terms and Valuation of the Notes Will Be Provided
in the Final Pricing Supplement
The final terms of the notes will be based on relevant market conditions when
the terms of the notes are set and will be provided in the final pricing supplement. In particular, each of the estimated value of the
notes, the call premium amount and the maturity date premium amount will be provided in the final pricing supplement and each may be as
low as the applicable minimum set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement or under “Summary Information — Key Terms,”
as applicable. Accordingly, you should consider your potential investment in the notes based on the minimums for the estimated value of
the notes, the call premium amount and the maturity date premium amount.
The Tax Consequences of an Investment in the Notes Are
Uncertain
There is no direct legal authority as to the proper U.S. federal income tax characterization
of the notes, 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 notes described in “Key Terms — Tax treatment” in this pricing supplement 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 notes, the timing and character of any income or loss on the notes could differ materially and adversely from our description
herein. In addition, in 2007 Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid
forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require investors in these instruments
to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of
income or loss with respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the
instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors should be
subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” regime,
which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income and impose a notional interest charge.
While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated
after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the notes, possibly
with retroactive effect. You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”
in the accompanying product supplement and consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment
in the notes, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by this notice.
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest
Potential Conflicts of Interest
We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance
of the notes, including acting as calculation agent and as an agent of the offering of the notes, hedging our obligations under the notes
and making the assumptions used to determine the pricing of the notes and the estimated value of the notes. Also, the distributor from
which you purchase the notes may conduct hedging activities for us in connection with the notes. In performing these duties, our and JPMorgan
Chase & Co.’s economic interests, the economic interests of any distributor performing such duties and the economic interests
of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes. In addition,
our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s business activities, and the business activities of any distributor from which you purchase the
notes, including hedging and trading activities, could cause our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s economic interests to be adverse
to yours and could adversely affect any payment on the notes and the value of the notes. It is possible that hedging or trading activities
of ours or our affiliates in connection with the notes could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of
the notes declines. If the distributor from which you purchase notes is to conduct hedging activities for us in connection with the notes,
that distributor may profit in connection with such hedging activities and such profit, if any, will be in addition to the compensation
that the distributor receives for the sale of the notes to you. You should be aware that the potential to earn fees in connection with
hedging activities may create a further incentive for the distributor to sell the notes to you in addition to the compensation they would
receive for the sale of the notes. Please refer to “Risk Factors
— Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest” on page PS-16 of the accompanying
product supplement for additional information about these risks.
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 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 “Summary Information — The Estimated Value of
the Notes” on page PS-7 of this pricing supplement.
The Estimated Value of the Notes Does Not Represent Future
Values of the Notes and May Differ from Others’ Estimates
The estimated value of the notes is determined by reference to internal pricing
models of our affiliates when the terms of the notes are set. This estimated value of the notes is based on market conditions and other
relevant factors existing at that time and assumptions about market parameters, which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest
rates and other factors. Different pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations for the notes that are greater than or less
than the estimated value of the notes. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in the future may change, and any assumptions
may prove to be incorrect. On future dates, the value of the notes could change significantly based on, among other things, changes in
market conditions, our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness, interest rate movements and other relevant factors, which
may impact the price, if any, at which JPMS would be willing to buy notes from you in secondary market transactions. See “Summary
Information — The Estimated Value of the Notes” on page PS-7 of 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 “Summary Information — The Estimated Value of the Notes” on
page PS-7 of 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. These costs can include selling commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, and, in
some circumstances, estimated hedging costs and our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances. See “Summary
Information — Secondary Market Prices of the Notes” on page PS-8 of 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 notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, is likely to be lower than the original issue
price. Any sale by you prior to the maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you. See the immediately following risk consideration
for information about additional factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the notes.
The notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly,
you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity. See “— Risks Relating to the Notes Generally — Lack of
Liquidity” on page PS-14 of this pricing supplement.
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 underlier, including:
|
·
|
any actual or potential change in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness or credit spreads;
|
|
·
|
customary bid-ask spreads for similarly sized trades;
|
|
·
|
our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances;
|
|
·
|
the actual and expected volatility of the underlier;
|
|
·
|
the time to maturity of the notes;
|
|
·
|
the dividend rates on the underlier stocks;
|
|
·
|
interest and yield rates in the market generally;
|
|
·
|
the occurrence of certain events to the underlier that may or may not require an adjustment to the share adjustment factor; and
|
|
·
|
a variety of other economic, financial, political, regulatory and judicial events.
|
Additionally, independent pricing vendors and/or third party broker-dealers may
publish a price for the notes, which may also be reflected on customer account statements. This price may be different (higher or lower)
than the price of the notes, if any, at which JPMS may be willing to purchase your notes in the secondary market.
Risks Relating to the Underlier
There Are Risks
Associated with the Underlier
Although the shares of the underlier are
listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “NYSE Arca”) and a number of similar products have been traded on securities exchanges
for varying periods of time, there is no assurance that an active trading market will continue for the shares of the underlier or that
there will be liquidity in the trading market. The underlier is subject to management risk, which is the risk that the investment strategies
of the underlier’s investment adviser, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended
results. These constraints could adversely affect the market price of the shares of the underlier and, consequently, the value of the
notes.
Further, under continuous listing standards
adopted by the NYSE Arca, the underlier will be required to confirm on an ongoing basis that the components of the underlying index satisfy
the applicable listing requirements. In the event that its underlying index does not comply with the applicable listing requirements,
the underlier would be required to rectify the non-compliance by requesting that the underlying index sponsor modify the underlying index,
adopting a new underlying index or obtaining relief from the SEC. There can be no assurance that the underlying index sponsor would modify
the underlying index or that relief would be obtained from the SEC and, therefore, non-compliance with the continuous listing standards
may result in the underlier being delisted by the NYSE Arca. If the underlier were delisted by the NYSE Arca, the calculation agent would
(i) substitute an exchange-traded fund that it determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the underlier or (ii) if no successor
fund is available, in its sole discretion, calculate the appropriate closing level of the underlier by a computation methodology that
it determines will as closely as reasonably possible replicate the underlier.
The Performance
and Market Value of the Underlier, Particularly During Periods of Market Volatility, May Not Correlate With the Performance of the Underlying
Index as Well as the Net Asset Value per Share of the Underlier
The underlier does not fully replicate
the underlying index and may hold securities different from those included in the underlying index. In addition, the performance of the
underlier will reflect additional transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the underlying index. All of
these factors may lead to a lack of correlation between the performance of the underlier and the underlying index. In addition, corporate
actions with respect to the equity securities held by the underlier (such as mergers and spin-offs) may impact the variance between the
performances of the underlier and the underlying index. Finally, because the shares of the underlier are traded on a securities exchange
and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the market value of one share of the underlier may differ from the net asset value
per share of the underlier.
During periods of market volatility, securities
held by the underlier may be unavailable in the secondary market, market participants may be unable to calculate accurately the net asset
value per share of the underlier and the liquidity of the underlier may be adversely affected. This kind of market volatility may also
disrupt the ability of market participants to create and redeem shares of the underlier. Further, market volatility may adversely affect,
sometimes materially, the prices at which market participants are willing to buy and sell shares of the underlier. As a result, under
these circumstances, the market value of one share of the underlier may vary substantially from the net asset value per share of the underlier.
For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of the underlier may not correlate with the performance of the underlying index as well
as its net asset value per share of the underlier, which could materially and adversely affect the value of the notes in the secondary
market and/or reduce any payment on the notes.
The Notes Are Subject
to Risks Associated with the Financial Sector
All or substantially all of the equity
securities held by the underlier are issued by companies whose primary line of business is directly associated with the financial sector.
As a result, the value of the notes may be subject to greater volatility and be more adversely affected by a single economic, political
or regulatory occurrence affecting this sector than a different investment linked to securities of a more broadly diversified group of
issuers. Financial services companies are subject to extensive government regulation, which may limit both the amounts and types of loans
and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities, the prices
they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital
funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. In addition, deterioration of the credit
markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money
markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. Certain events in the financial sector may cause
an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause certain financial services companies
to incur large losses. Securities of financial services companies may experience a dramatic decline in value when these companies experience
substantial declines in the valuations of their assets, take action to raise capital (such as the issuance of debt or equity securities)
or cease operations. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment
activities can negatively impact the financial sector.
Insurance companies may be subject to severe price competition. Adverse economic,
business or political developments could adversely affect financial institutions engaged in mortgage finance or other lending or investing
activities directly or indirectly connected to the value of real estate. These factors could affect the financial sector and could affect
the value of the equity securities held by the underlier and the price of the underlier during the term of the notes, which may adversely
affect the value of your notes.
The Underlier May
Be Disproportionately Affected By the Performance of a Small Number of Securities
Although the underlier holds 67 securities
as of January 24, 2022, approximately 30.86% of the underlier is invested in the securities of only three companies as of that date: Berkshire
Hathaway Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Bank of America Corporation. As a result, a decline in the prices of one or more of
those securities, including as a result of events negatively affecting one or more of those companies, may have the effect of significantly
lowering the level of the underlier even if none of the other securities held by the underlier are affected by such events. Because
of the weighting of the holdings of the underlier, the amount you receive at maturity could be less than the cash settlement amount you
would have received if you had invested in a product linked to an underlier that capped the maximum weight of any one security to a low
amount or that equally weighted all securities held by that underlier.
JPMorgan Chase &
Co. Is Currently One of the Companies that Make Up the Underlier
JPMorgan Chase & Co. is currently one
of the companies that make up the underlier. JPMorgan Chase & Co. will not have any obligation to consider your interests as a holder
of the notes in taking any corporate action that might affect the value of the underlier and the notes.
The Anti-Dilution
Protection for the Underlier Is Limited
The
calculation agent will make adjustments to the share adjustment factor for certain events affecting the shares of the underlier. However,
the calculation agent will not make an adjustment in response to all events that could affect the shares of the underlier. If an event
occurs that does not require the calculation agent to make an adjustment, the value of the notes may be materially and adversely affected.
THE Underlier
The Financial Select Sector SPDR® Fund is an exchange-traded fund
of the Select Sector SPDR® Trust, a registered investment company, that seeks to provide investment results that, before
expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of publicly traded equity securities of companies in the Financial Select
Sector Index, which we refer to as the Underlying Index with respect to the Financial Select Sector SPDR® Fund. The Financial
Select Sector Index is a modified market capitalization-based index that measures the performance of the GICS® financial
sector of the S&P 500® Index, which currently includes companies in the following industries: banks; thrifts &
mortgage finance; diversified financial services; consumer finance; capital markets; mortgage real estate investment trusts (“REITs”);
and insurance. For additional information about the Financial Select Sector SPDR® Fund, see “Fund Descriptions —
The Select Sector SPDR® Funds” in the accompanying underlying supplement.
In addition, information about the Financial Select Sector SPDR®
Fund may be obtained from other sources, including, but not limited to, the underlier sponsor’s website (including information regarding
the underlier’s (i) top ten constituents and their weightings and (ii) sector weightings). We are not incorporating by reference
into this pricing supplement the website or any material it includes. Neither we nor any agent or dealer for this offering makes any representation
that this publicly available information regarding the underlier is accurate or complete.
Historical Closing Levels of the Underlier
The closing level of the underlier has fluctuated in the past and may, in the
future, experience significant fluctuations. Any historical upward or downward trend in the closing level of the underlier during any
period shown below is not an indication that the underlier is more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time during the term
of your notes.
You should not take the historical levels of the underlier as an indication
of the future performance of the underlier. We cannot give you any assurance that the future performance of the underlier or the underlier
stocks will result in a return of any of your initial investment on the call payment date or the stated maturity date. In light of the
increased volatility currently being experienced by the financial services sector and U.S. and global securities markets, and recent market
declines, it may be substantially more likely that you could lose all or a substantial portion of your investment in the notes.
Neither we nor any of our affiliates make any representation to you as to the
performance of the underlier. The actual performance of the underlier over the term of the offered notes, as well as the amount payable
on the call payment date or at maturity, may bear little relation to the historical levels shown below.
The graph below shows the closing levels of the underlier on each day from January 6,
2017 through January 24, 2022. The closing level of the underlier on January 24, 2022 was $38.31. We obtained the closing levels shown
above and in the graph below from the Bloomberg Professional® service (“Bloomberg”), without independent verification.
The closing levels of the underlier above and below may have been adjusted by Bloomberg for actions taken by the underlier, such as stock
splits.
