JPMorgan Chase & Co. Trigger Phoenix Autocallable Optimization Securities

$2,877,500 Linked to the common stock of AbbVie Inc. due July 31, 2018

$1,756,800 Linked to the common stock of Johnson Controls, Inc. due July 31, 2018

 
Investment Description
Trigger Phoenix Autocallable Optimization Securities are unsecured and unsubordinated debt securities issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. ("JPMorgan Chase") (each, a "Security" and collectively, the "Securities") linked to the performance of the common stock of a specific company (the "Underlying Stock"). If the closing price of one share of the applicable Underlying Stock on the applicable quarterly Observation Date is equal to or greater than the applicable Coupon Barrier, JPMorgan Chase will make a Contingent Coupon payment with respect to that Observation Date. Otherwise, no coupon will be payable with respect to that Observation Date. JPMorgan Chase will automatically call the Securities early if the closing price of one share of the applicable Underlying Stock on any quarterly Observation Date (after an initial six-month non-call period) is equal to or greater than the applicable Initial Price. If the Securities are called, JPMorgan Chase will pay the principal amount plus the applicable Contingent Coupon for that Observation Date and no further amounts will be owed to you. If the Securities are not called prior to maturity and the applicable Final Price is equal to or greater than the applicable Trigger Price (which is the same price as the applicable Coupon Barrier), JPMorgan Chase will make a cash payment at maturity equal to the principal amount of your Securities, in addition to the applicable Contingent Coupon. If the applicable Final Price is less than the applicable Trigger Price, JPMorgan Chase will pay you less than the full principal amount, if anything, at maturity, resulting in a loss on your principal amount that is proportionate to the decline in the price of one share of the applicable Underlying Stock from the Trade Date to the Final Valuation Date. The closing price of the applicable Underlying Stock is subject to adjustments, in the sole discretion of the calculation agent, in the case of certain corporate events described in the accompanying product supplement no. UBS-1a-I under "The Underlyings — Underlying Stocks — Anti-Dilution Adjustments" and "The Underlyings — Underlying Stocks — Reorganization Events." Investing in the Securities involves significant risks. You may lose some or all of your principal amount. Generally, a higher contingent coupon rate on the Securities reflects a greater risk of loss. The contingent repayment of principal applies only if you hold the Securities to maturity. Any payment on the Securities, including any repayment of principal, is subject to the creditworthiness of JPMorgan Chase. If JPMorgan Chase were to default on its payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the Securities and you could lose your entire investment.

         
Features   Key Dates

Automatically Callable: JPMorgan Chase will automatically call the Securities and pay you the principal amount plus the applicable Contingent Coupon otherwise due for a quarterly Observation Date (after an initial six-month non-call period) if the closing price of one share of the applicable Underlying Stock on that quarterly Observation Date is equal to or greater than the applicable Initial Price. No further payments will be made on the Securities. If the securities are not called, investors will have the potential for downside equity market risk at maturity.

Contingent Coupon: If the closing price of one share of the applicable Underlying Stock on a quarterly Observation Date (including the Final Valuation Date) is equal to or greater than the applicable Coupon Barrier, JPMorgan Chase will make a Contingent Coupon payment with respect to that Observation Date. Otherwise, no coupon will be payable with respect to that Observation Date.

Contingent Repayment of Principal Amount at Maturity: If by maturity the Securities have not been called and the price of one share of the applicable Underlying Stock closes at or above the applicable Trigger Price on the Final Valuation Date, JPMorgan Chase will pay you the principal amount per Security at maturity. If the price of one share of the applicable Underlying Stock closes below the applicable Trigger Price on the Final Valuation Date, JPMorgan Chase will repay less than the principal amount, if anything, at maturity, resulting in a loss on your principal amount that is proportionate to the decline in the price of one share of the applicable Underlying Stock from the applicable Initial Price to the applicable Final Price. The contingent repayment of principal applies only if you hold the Securities until maturity. Any payment on the Securities, including any repayment of principal, is subject to the creditworthiness of JPMorgan Chase.

THE SECURITIES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY RISKIER THAN CONVENTIONAL DEBT INSTRUMENTS. JPMORGAN CHASE IS NOT NECESSARILY OBLIGATED TO REPAY THE FULL PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THE SECURITIES AT MATURITY, AND THE SECURITIES CAN HAVE DOWNSIDE MARKET RISK SIMILAR TO THE APPLICABLE UNDERLYING STOCK. THIS MARKET RISK IS IN ADDITION TO THE CREDIT RISK INHERENT IN PURCHASING A DEBT OBLIGATION OF JPMORGAN CHASE.  YOU SHOULD NOT PURCHASE THE SECURITIES IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND OR ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS INVOLVED IN INVESTING IN THE SECURITIES.

YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS DESCRIBED UNDER "KEY RISKS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 6 AND UNDER "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE PS-6 OF THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT SUPPLEMENT NO. UBS-1A-I BEFORE PURCHASING ANY SECURITIES. EVENTS RELATING TO ANY OF THOSE RISKS, OR OTHER RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET VALUE OF, AND THE RETURN ON, YOUR SECURITIES. YOU MAY LOSE SOME OR ALL OF YOUR INITIAL INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES. THE SECURITIES WILL NOT BE LISTED ON ANY SECURITIES EXCHANGE.

Security Offering
This pricing supplement relates to two (2) separate Security offerings. Each issuance of offered Securities is linked to one, and only one, Underlying Stock. You may participate in either of the two (2) Security offerings or, at your election, both of the offerings. This pricing supplement does not, however, allow you to purchase a Security linked to a basket of the Underlying Stocks described below. The Securities are offered at a minimum investment of $1,000 in denominations of $10 and integral multiples thereof. Each of the two (2) Security offerings is linked to the common stock of a different company, and each of the two (2) Security offerings has its own Contingent Coupon Rate, Initial Price, Trigger Price and Coupon Barrier. The performance of each Security offering will not depend on the performance of any other Security offering.

Additional Information about JPMorgan Chase & Co. and the Securities

This pricing supplement relates to two (2) separate Security offerings. Each issue of the offered Securities is linked to one, and only one, Underlying Stock. The purchaser of a Security will acquire a security linked to a single Underlying Stock (not to a basket or index that includes the other Underlying Stock). You may participate in either of the two (2) Security offerings or, at your election, in both of the offerings. While each Security offering relates only to a single Underlying Stock identified on the cover page, you should not construe that fact as a recommendation of the merits of acquiring an investment linked to that Underlying Stock (or the other Underlying Stock) or as to the suitability of an investment in the Securities.

You should read this pricing supplement together with the prospectus, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement, each dated November 7, 2014, relating to our Series E medium-term notes of which these Securities are a part, and the more detailed information contained in product supplement no.

You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in "Risk Factors" in the accompanying product supplement no. UBS-1a-I, as the Securities involve risks not associated with conventional debt securities.

Whether or not the Securities are a suitable investment for you will depend on your individual circumstances, and you should reach an investment decision only after you and your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers have carefully considered the suitability of an investment in the Securities in light of your particular circumstances. You should also review carefully the "Key Risks" beginning on page 6 of this pricing supplement and "Risk Factors" in the accompanying product supplement no.

What Are the Tax Consequences of the Securities?

You should review carefully the section entitled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the accompanying product supplement no. UBS-1a-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 Coupons 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 no. UBS-1a-I. Based on the advice of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, our special tax counsel, we believe that this is a reasonable treatment, but that there are other reasonable treatments that the IRS or a court may adopt.

Sale, Exchange or Redemption of a Security. Assuming the treatment described above is respected, upon a sale or exchange of the Securities (including redemption upon an automatic call or at maturity), you should recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or exchange and your tax basis in the Securities, which should equal the amount you paid to acquire the Securities (assuming Contingent Coupons are properly treated as ordinary income, consistent with the position referred to above). This gain or loss should be short-term capital gain or loss unless you hold the Securities for more than one year, in which case the gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of the Securities at the issue price. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. If you sell your Securities between the time your right to a Contingent Coupon is fixed and the time it is paid, it is likely that you will be treated as receiving ordinary income equal to the Contingent Coupon. Although uncertain, it is possible that proceeds received from the sale or exchange of your Securities prior to an Observation Date but that can be attributed to an expected Contingent Coupon payment could be treated as ordinary income. You should consult your tax adviser regarding this issue.

As described above, 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. 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 this notice.

Non-U.S. Holders — Tax Considerations. The U.S. federal income tax treatment of Contingent Coupons is uncertain, and although we believe it is reasonable to take a position that Contingent Coupons are not subject to U.S. withholding tax (at least if an applicable Form W-8 is provided), a withholding agent may nonetheless withhold on these payments (generally at a rate of 30%, subject to the possible reduction of that rate under an applicable income tax treaty), unless income from your Securities is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if an applicable treaty so requires, attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States). If you are not a United States person, you are urged to consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Securities in light of your particular circumstances.

FATCA. Withholding under legislation commonly referred to as "FATCA" could apply to payments on the Securities, and (if they are recharacterized, in whole or in part, as debt instruments) could also apply to the payment of gross proceeds of a sale of a Security occurring after December 31, 2016 (including an automatic call or redemption at maturity). You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of FATCA 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.

Key Risks

An investment in the Securities involves significant risks. Investing in the Securities is not equivalent to investing directly in the applicable Underlying Stock. These risks are explained in more detail in the "Risk Factors" section of the accompanying product supplement no. UBS-1a-I. We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers before you invest in the Securities.

Risks Relating to the Securities Generally

Your Investment in the Securities May Result in a Loss — The Securities differ from ordinary debt securities in that JPMorgan Chase will not necessarily repay the full principal amount of the Securities. If the Securities are not called and the closing price of one share of the applicable Underlying Stock has declined below the applicable Trigger Price on the Final Valuation Date, you will be fully exposed to any depreciation in the closing price of one share of the applicable Underlying Stock from the applicable Initial Price to the applicable Final Price. In this case, JPMorgan Chase will repay less than the full principal amount at maturity, resulting in a loss of principal that is proportionate to the negative Stock Return. Under these circumstances, you will lose 1% of your principal for every 1% that the applicable Final Price is less than the applicable Initial Price and could lose your entire principal amount. As a result, your investment in the Securities may not perform as well as an investment in a security that does not have the potential for full downside exposure to the applicable Underlying Stock at maturity.
Credit Risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co. — The Securities are unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the Issuer, JPMorgan Chase & Co., and will rank pari passu with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. The Securities are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any payment to be made on the Securities, including any repayment of principal, depends on the ability of JPMorgan Chase & Co. to satisfy its obligations as they come due. As a result, the actual and perceived creditworthiness of JPMorgan Chase & Co. may affect the market value of the Securities and, in the event JPMorgan Chase & Co. were to default on its obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the Securities and you could lose your entire investment.
You Are Not Guaranteed Any Contingent Coupons — We will not necessarily make periodic coupon payments on the Securities. If the closing price of one share of the applicable Underlying Stock on an Observation Date is less than the applicable Coupon Barrier, we will not pay you the applicable Contingent Coupon for that Observation Date and the applicable Contingent Coupon that would otherwise be payable will not be accrued and will be lost. If the closing price of one share of the applicable Underlying Stock is less than the applicable Coupon Barrier on each of the Observation Dates, we will not pay you any Contingent Coupon during the term of, and you will not receive a positive return on, your Securities. Generally, this non-payment of the Contingent Coupon coincides with a period of greater risk of principal loss on your Securities.
Return on the Securities Limited to the Sum of Any Contingent Coupons and You Will Not Participate in Any Appreciation of the Applicable Underlying Stock — The return potential of the Securities is limited to the specified Contingent Coupon Rate, regardless of the appreciation in the closing price of one share of the applicable Underlying Stock, which may be significant. In addition, the total return on the Securities will vary based on the number of Observation Dates on which the requirements for a Contingent Coupon have been met prior to maturity or an automatic call. Further, if the Securities are called, you will not receive any Contingent Coupons or any other payments in respect of any Observation Dates after the applicable Call Settlement Date. Because the Securities could be called as early as the second Coupon Observation Date, the total return on the Securities could be minimal. If the Securities are not called, you may be subject to the applicable Underlying Stock's risk of decline even though you are not able to participate in any potential appreciation in the price of the applicable Underlying Stock. As a result, the return on an investment in the Securities could be less than the return on a direct investment in the applicable Underlying Stock. In addition, if the Securities are not called and the applicable Final Price is below the applicable Trigger Price, you will have a loss on your principal amount and the overall return on the Securities may be less than the amount that would be paid on a conventional debt security of JPMorgan Chase of comparable maturity.
Contingent Repayment of Principal Applies Only If You Hold the Securities to Maturity — If you are able to sell your Securities in the secondary market, if any, prior to maturity, you may have to sell them at a loss relative to your initial investment even if the applicable stock price is above the applicable Trigger Price. If by maturity the Securities have not been called, either JPMorgan Chase will repay you the full principal amount per Security plus the applicable Contingent Coupon, or if the price of one share of the applicable Underlying Stock closes below the applicable Trigger Price on the Final Valuation Date, JPMorgan Chase will repay less than the principal amount, if anything, at maturity, resulting in a loss on your principal amount that is proportionate to the decline in the closing price of one share of the applicable Underlying Stock from the Trade Date to the Final Valuation Date. This contingent repayment of principal applies only if you hold your Securities to maturity.
The Probability That the Applicable Closing Price Will Fall Below the applicable Coupon Barrier on Any Observation Date or the Applicable Trigger Price on the Final Valuation Date Will Depend on the Volatility of the Applicable Underlying Stock — "Volatility" refers to the frequency and magnitude of changes in the price of one share of the applicable Underlying Stock. Greater expected volatility with respect to the applicable Underlying Stock reflects a higher expectation as of the Trade Date that the price of one share of that Underlying Stock could close below its Coupon Barrier on any Observation Date, resulting in the loss of one or more Contingent Coupons or below its Trigger Price on the Final Valuation Date of the Securities, resulting in the loss of some or all of your principal amount. In addition, each Contingent Coupon Rate is a fixed rate and depends in part on this expected volatility. A higher Contingent Coupon Rate is generally associated with greater expected volatility. However, a stock's volatility can change significantly over the term of the Securities. The closing price of one share of the applicable Underlying Stock for your Securities could fall sharply, which could result in a loss of one or more Contingent Coupons and a significant loss of principal.

Reinvestment Risk — If your Securities are called early, the holding period over which you would have the opportunity to receive any Contingent Coupons could be as short as approximately six months. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the Securities at a comparable return and/or with a comparable interest rate for a similar level of risk in the event the Securities are called prior to the maturity date.
Potential Conflicts — We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Securities, including acting as calculation agent and 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 when the terms of the Securities are set, which we refer to as JPMS's estimated value. In performing these duties, our 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. In addition, our business activities, including hedging and trading activities, could cause our 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 no. UBS-1a-I for additional information about these risks. We and/or our affiliates may also currently or from time to time engage in business with the issuer of the applicable Underlying Stock, including extending loans to, or making equity investments in, the issuer of the applicable Underlying Stock or providing advisory services to the issuer of the applicable Underlying Stock. As a prospective purchaser of the Securities, you should undertake an independent investigation of the issuer of the applicable Underlying Stock as in your judgment is appropriate to make an informed decision with respect to an investment in the Securities.
Each Contingent Coupon Is Based Solely on the Closing Price of One Share of the Applicable Underlying Stock on the Applicable Observation Date — Whether a Contingent Coupon will be payable with respect to an Observation Date will be based solely on the closing price of one share of the applicable Underlying Stock on that Observation Date. As a result, you will not know whether you will receive a Contingent Coupon until the related Observation Date. Moreover, because each Contingent Coupon is based solely on the closing price of one share of the applicable Underlying Stock on the applicable Observation Date, if that closing price is less than the applicable Coupon Barrier, you will not receive any Contingent Coupon with respect to that Observation Date, even if the closing price of one share of the applicable Underlying Stock was higher on other days during the period before that Observation Date.
Single Stock Risk — The price of the applicable Underlying Stock can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to that Underlying Stock and its issuer, such as stock price volatility, earnings, financial conditions, corporate, industry and regulatory developments, management changes and decisions and other events, as well as general market factors, such as general stock market volatility and levels, interest rates and economic and political conditions. For additional information regarding each Underlying Stock and its issuer, please see "The Underlying Stocks" and the section applicable to that Underlying Stock issuer in this pricing supplement and that issuer's SEC filings referred to in those sections. We urge you to review financial and other information filed periodically with the SEC by the applicable Underlying Stock issuer.
JPMS's Estimated Value of the Securities Is Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to Public) of the Securities — JPMS's estimated value is only an estimate using several factors. The original issue price of the Securities exceeds JPMS's estimated value of the applicable 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 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 "JPMS's Estimated Value of the Securities" in this pricing supplement.
JPMS's Estimated Value Does Not Represent Future Values of the Securities and May Differ from Others' Estimates — JPMS's estimated value of the applicable Securities is determined by reference to JPMS's internal pricing models when the terms of the Securities are set. This estimated value is based on market conditions and other relevant factors existing at that time and JPMS's assumptions about market parameters, which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors. Different pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations for Securities that are greater than or less than JPMS's estimated value. 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 creditworthiness, interest rate movements and other relevant factors, which may impact the price, if any, at which JPMS would be willing to buy Securities from you in secondary market transactions. See "JPMS's Estimated Value of the Securities" in this pricing supplement.
JPMS's Estimated Value Is Not Determined by Reference to Credit Spreads for Our Conventional Fixed-Rate Debt — The internal funding rate used in the determination of JPMS's estimated value of the applicable Securities generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. The discount is based on, among other things, our 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 our conventional fixed-rate debt. If JPMS were to use the interest rate implied by our conventional fixed-rate credit spreads, we would expect the economic terms of the Securities to be more favorable to you. Consequently, our use of an internal funding rate would have an adverse effect on the terms of the Securities and any secondary market prices of the Securities. See "JPMS's Estimated Value of the Securities" in this pricing supplement.
The Value of the Securities as Published by JPMS (and Which May Be Reflected on Customer Account Statements) May Be Higher Than JPMS's 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, projected hedging profits, if any, and, in some circumstances, estimated hedging costs and our secondary market credit spreads

8


  for structured debt issuances. See "Secondary Market Prices of the Securities" in this pricing supplement 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 secondary market credit spreads for structured debt issuances and, also, because secondary market prices (a) exclude selling commissions and (b) may exclude 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 "— Lack of Liquidity" below.
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, projected hedging profits, if any, estimated hedging costs and the price of the applicable Underlying Stock, including:
  any actual or potential change in our creditworthiness or credit spreads;
  customary bid-ask spreads for similarly sized trades;
  secondary market credit spreads for structured debt issuances;
  the actual and expected volatility in the closing price of one share of the applicable Underlying Stock;
  the time to maturity of the Securities;
  the likelihood of an automatic call being triggered;
  whether the closing price of one share of the applicable Underlying Stock has been, or is expected to be, less than the applicable Coupon Barrier on any Observation Date and whether the applicable Final Price is expected to be less than the Trigger Price;
  the dividend rate on the applicable Underlying Stock;
  the occurrence of certain events affecting the issuer of the applicable Underlying Stock that may or may not require an adjustment to the closing price and the Stock Adjustment Factor of the applicable Underlying Stock, including a merger or acquisition;
  interest and yield rates in the market generally; 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 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.
No Dividend Payments or Voting Rights in the Applicable Underlying Stock — As a holder of the Securities, you will not have any ownership interest or rights in the applicable Underlying Stock, such as voting rights or dividend payments. In addition, the issuer of the applicable Underlying Stock will not have any obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the Securities in taking any corporate action that might affect the value of the applicable Underlying Stock and the Securities.
No Affiliation with the Applicable Underlying Stock Issuer — We are not affiliated with the issuer of the applicable Underlying Stock. We have not independently verified any of the information about the applicable Underlying Stock issuer contained in this pricing supplement. You should make your own investigation into the applicable Underlying Stock and its issuer. We are not responsible for the applicable Underlying Stock issuer's public disclosure of information, whether contained in SEC filings or otherwise.
No Assurances That the Investment View Implicit in the Securities Will Be Successful — While the Securities are structured to provide for Contingent Coupons if the applicable Underlying Stock does not close below the applicable Coupon Barrier on the Observation Dates, we cannot assure you of the economic environment during the term or at maturity of your Securities.
Lack of Liquidity — The Securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. JPMS intends to offer to purchase the Securities 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 Securities easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a 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.
Anti-Dilution Protection Is Limited and May Be Discretionary — Although the calculation agent will adjust the closing price and the Stock Adjustment Factor of the applicable Underlying Stock for certain corporate events (such as stock splits and stock dividends) affecting the applicable Underlying Stock, the calculation agent is not required to make an adjustment for every corporate event that can affect the applicable Underlying Stock. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to make these adjustments, the market value of your Securities, whether the Securities will be automatically called and any payment on the Securities may be materially

9


  and adversely affected. You should also be aware that the calculation agent may make any such adjustment, determination or calculation in a manner that differs from what is described in the accompanying product supplement as it deems necessary to ensure an equitable result. Subject to the foregoing, the calculation agent is under no obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the Securities in making these determinations.
Potentially Inconsistent Research, Opinions or Recommendations by JPMS, UBS or Their Affiliates — JPMS, UBS or their affiliates may publish research, express opinions or provide recommendations (for example, with respect to the issuer of the applicable Underlying Stock) that are inconsistent with investing in or holding the Securities, and that may be revised at any time. Any such research, opinions or recommendations may or may not recommend that investors buy or hold the applicable Underlying Stock and could affect the value of the applicable Underlying Stock, and therefore the market value of the Securities.
Tax Treatment — Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Securities are uncertain. You should consult your tax adviser about your tax situation.
Potential JPMorgan Chase & Co. Impact on the Market Price of the Applicable Underlying Stock — Trading or transactions by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates in the applicable Underlying Stock and/or over-the-counter options, futures or other instruments with returns linked to the performance of the applicable Underlying Stock may adversely affect the market price of the applicable Underlying Stock and, therefore, the market value of the Securities.
Limited Trading History — The common stock of AbbVie Inc. began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on December 10, 2012 and therefore has a limited performance history. Accordingly, historical information for the common stock of AbbVie Inc. is available only since that date. Past performance should not be considered indicative of future performance.

Hypothetical Examples

The examples below illustrate the hypothetical payments on a Coupon Payment Date, upon an automatic call or at maturity under different hypothetical scenarios for a $10.00 Security on an offering of the Securities linked to a hypothetical Underlying Stock and assume an Initial Price of $100, a Trigger Price and Coupon Barrier of $70.00 (which is 70.00% of the hypothetical Initial Price) and a Contingent Coupon Rate of 7.00% per annum*. The hypothetical Initial Price has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent a likely actual Initial Price for any Underlying Stock. For historical data regarding the actual closing prices of one share of each Underlying Stock, please see the historical information set forth under "The Underlying Stocks" in this pricing supplement.

   
Principal Amount: $10.00
Term: Three years (unless earlier called)
Hypothetical Initial Price: $100.00
Contingent Coupon Rate: 7.00% per annum (or 1.75% per quarter)
Observation Dates: Quarterly (callable after six months)
Hypothetical Trigger Price: $70.00 (which is 70.00% of the hypothetical Initial Price)
Hypothetical Coupon Barrier: $70.00 (which is 70.00% of the hypothetical Initial Price)

   
* The actual value of any Contingent Coupon payments you will receive over the term of the Securities, the actual value of the payment upon automatic call or at maturity and the actual Initial Price, Trigger Price and Coupon Barrier for each Underlying Stock applicable to your Securities may be more or less than the amounts displayed in these hypothetical scenarios. The actual Contingent Coupon Rate, Initial Price, Trigger Price and Coupon Barrier for each Underlying Stock are specified on the cover of this pricing supplement.

The examples below are purely hypothetical and are not based on any specific offering of Securities linked to any specific Underlying Stock. These examples are intended to illustrate how the value of any payment on the Securities will depend on the closing price on the Observation Dates.

Example 1 — Securities Are Automatically Called on the Second Observation Date

       
Date Closing Price Payment (per Security)
First Observation Date $105.00 (at or above Initial Price; Securities NOT called because Observation Date is prior to the second Observation Date) $0.175 (Contingent Coupon)
Second Observation Date $110.00 (at or above Initial Price) $10.175
     
    Total Payment: $10.35 (3.50% return)

Although the closing price is above the Initial Price on the first Observation Date, the Securities are not called because the Securities cannot be called before the second Observation Date. Because the Securities are automatically called on the second Observation Date, we will pay you on the applicable Call Settlement Date a total of $10.175 per Security, reflecting your principal amount plus the applicable Contingent Coupon. When that amount is added to the Contingent Coupon payment of $0.175 received in respect of prior Observation Dates, we will have paid you a total of $10.35 per Security for a 3.50% total return on the Securities. No further amounts will be owed on the Securities.

Example 2 — Securities Are Automatically Called on the eleventh Observation Date

       
Date Closing Price Payment (per Security)
First Observation Date $90.00 (at or above Coupon Barrier; below Initial Price) $0.175 (Contingent Coupon)
Second Observation Date $80.00 (at or above Coupon Barrier; below Initial Price) $0.175 (Contingent Coupon)
Third through Tenth Observation Dates Various (all at or above Coupon Barrier, all below Initial Price) $1.40 (Contingent Coupons)
Eleventh Observation Date $105.00 (at or above Initial Price) $10.175 (Payment upon Automatic Call)
     
    Total Payment: $11.925 (19.25% return)

Because the Securities are automatically called on the eleventh Observation Date, we will pay you on the applicable Call Settlement Date a total of $10.175 per Security, reflecting your principal amount plus the applicable Contingent Coupon. When that amount is added to the Contingent Coupon payments of $1.75 received in respect of prior Observation Dates, we will have paid you a total of $11.925 per Security for a 19.25% total return on the Securities. No further amounts will be owed on the Securities.

Example 3 — Securities Are NOT Automatically Called and the Final Price Is at or above the Trigger Price and the Coupon Barrier

       
Date Closing Price Payment (per Security)
First Observation Date $90.00 (at or above Coupon Barrier; below Initial Price) $0.175 (Contingent Coupon)
Second Observation Date $85.00 (at or above Coupon Barrier; below Initial Price) $0.175 (Contingent Coupon)
Third through Eleventh Observation Dates Various (all below Coupon Barrier) $0.00
Final Valuation Date $80.00 (at or above Trigger Price and Coupon Barrier; below Initial Price) $10.175 (Payment at Maturity)
     
    Total Payment: $10.525 (5.25% return)

At maturity, we will pay you a total of $10.175 per Security, reflecting your principal amount plus the applicable Contingent Coupon. When that amount is added to the Contingent Coupon payments of $0.35 received in respect of prior Observation Dates, we will have paid you a total of $10.525 per Security for a 5.25% total return on the Securities.

11


Example 4 — Securities Are NOT Automatically Called and the Final Price Is below the Trigger Price and the Coupon Barrier

       
Date Closing Price Payment (per Security)
First Observation Date $80.00 (at or above Coupon Barrier; below Initial Price) $0.175 (Contingent Coupon)
Second Observation Date $75.00 (at or above Coupon Barrier; below Initial Price) $0.175 (Contingent Coupon)
Third through Eleventh Observation Dates Various (all at or above Coupon Barrier; all below Initial Price) $1.575 (Contingent Coupons)
Final Valuation Date $60.00 (below Trigger Price and Coupon Barrier) $10.00 × (1 + Underlying Stock Return) =
$10.00 × (1 + -40%) =
$10.00 × 60% =
$6.00 (Payment at Maturity)
     
    Total Payment: $7.925 (-20.75% return)

Because the Securities are not called and the Final Price of $60.00 is below the Trigger Price and the Coupon Barrier, at maturity we will pay you $6.00 per Security. When that amount is added to the Contingent Coupon payments of $1.925 received in respect of prior Observation Dates, we will have paid you $7.925 per Security for a loss on the Securities of 20.75%.

Example 5 — Securities Are NOT Automatically Called and the Final Price is below the Trigger Price and the Coupon Barrier

       
Date Closing Price Payment (per Security)
First Observation Date $65.00 (below Coupon Barrier) $0.00
Second Observation Date $60.00 (below Coupon Barrier) $0.00
Third through Eleventh Observation Dates Various (all below Coupon Barrier) $0.00
Final Valuation Date $50.00 (below Trigger Price and Coupon Barrier) $10.00 × (1 + Underlying Stock Return) =
$10.00 × (1 + -50%) =
$10.00 × 50% =
$5.00 (Payment at Maturity)
     
    Total Payment: $5.00 (-50.00% return)

Because the Securities are not called and the Final Price is below the Trigger Price and the Coupon Barrier, at maturity we will pay you $5.00 per Security for a loss on the Securities of 50.00%. Because there is no Contingent Coupon paid during the term of the Securities, that represents the total payment on the Securities.

The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the Securities shown above apply only if you hold the Securities for their entire term or until 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 and hypothetical payments shown above would likely be lower.

Supplemental Plan of Distribution

We have agreed to indemnify UBS and JPMS against liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments that UBS may be required to make relating to these liabilities as described in the prospectus supplement and the prospectus. We have agreed that UBS may sell all or a part of the Securities that it purchases from us to the public or its affiliates at the price to public indicated on the cover hereof.

Subject to regulatory constraints, JPMS intends to offer to purchase the Securities in the secondary market, but it is not required to do so.

We or our affiliates may enter into swap agreements or related hedge transactions with one of our other affiliates or unaffiliated counterparties in connection with the sale of the Securities, and JPMS and/or an affiliate may earn additional income as a result of payments pursuant to the swap or related hedge transactions. See "Supplemental Use of Proceeds" in this pricing supplement and "Use of Proceeds and Hedging" beginning on page PS-43 of the accompanying product supplement no. UBS-1a-I.

JPMS's Estimated Value of the Securities

For each offering of the Securities, JPMS's estimated value of the Securities 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 Securities, valued using our internal funding rate for structured debt described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the Securities. JPMS's estimated value 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 JPMS's estimated value generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. For additional information, see "Key Risks — Risks Relating to the Securities Generally — JPMS's Estimated Value Is Not Determined by Reference to Credit Spreads for Our Conventional Fixed-Rate Debt." The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the Securities is derived from JPMS's internal pricing models. 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, JPMS's estimated value of the Securities is determined when the terms of the Securities are set based on market conditions and other relevant factors and assumptions existing at that time. See "Key Risks — Risks Relating to the Securities Generally — JPMS's Estimated Value Does Not Represent Future Values of the Securities and May Differ from Others' Estimates."

JPMS's estimated value of the Securities is 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 UBS, 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. We or one or more of our affiliates will retain any profits realized in hedging our obligations under the Securities. See "Key Risks — Risks Relating to the Securities Generally — JPMS's Estimated Value of the Securities Is Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to Public) of the Securities" in this pricing supplement.

Secondary Market Prices of the Securities

For information about factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the Securities, see "Key Risks — Risks Relating to the Securities Generally — Secondary Market Prices of the Securities Will Be Impacted by Many Economic and Market Factors" in this pricing supplement. In addition, we generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the 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 up to seven months. The length of any such initial period reflects secondary market volumes for the Securities, 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 JPMS. See "Key Risks — Risks Relating to the Securities Generally — The Value of the Securities as Published by JPMS (and Which May Be Reflected on Customer Account Statements) May Be Higher Than JPMS's Then-Current Estimated Value of the Securities for a Limited Time Period."

Supplemental Use of Proceeds

The Securities are offered to meet investor demand for products that reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the Securities. See "Hypothetical Examples" in this pricing supplement for an illustration of the risk-return profile of the Securities and the section for the applicable Underlying Stock set forth under "The Underlying Stocks" in this pricing supplement for a description of the market exposure provided by the Securities.

The original issue price of the Securities is equal to JPMS's estimated value of the Securities plus the selling commissions paid to UBS, plus (minus) the projected profits (losses) that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the Securities, plus the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the Securities.

Validity of the Securities

In the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as our special products counsel, when the Securities offered by this pricing supplement have been executed and issued by us and authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the indenture, and delivered against payment as contemplated herein, such Securities will be our valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability (including, without limitation, concepts of good faith, fair dealing and the lack of bad faith), provided that such counsel expresses no opinion as to the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the federal laws of the United States of America, the laws of the State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the trustee's authorization, execution and delivery of the indenture and its authentication of the Securities and the validity, binding nature and enforceability of the indenture with respect to the trustee, all as stated in the letter of such counsel dated November 7, 2014, which was filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 by us on November 7, 2014.
