JPMorgan Chase & Co. Buffered Return Optimization Securities

Linked to an equally weighted basket consisting of 10 Underlying Stocks due on or about June 30, 2017

 
Investment Description
Buffered Return Optimization Securities, which we refer to as the "Securities," are unsecured and unsubordinated debt securities issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. ("JPMorgan Chase"), with a return linked to the performance of an equally weighted basket (the "Basket") of the common stocks or ordinary shares of ten specific companies, as specified below (each, an "Underlying Stock"). If the Basket Return is positive, JPMorgan Chase will repay your principal amount at maturity plus pay a return equal to the Basket Return times the Multiplier of 1.50, up to the Maximum Gain of between 15.00% and 16.00%, which will be finalized on the Trade Date and provided in the pricing supplement. If the Basket Return is zero or negative and the Final Basket Level is less than the Initial Basket Level by up to the Buffer Amount of 10.00%, JPMorgan Chase will repay your principal amount at maturity. However, if the Basket Return is negative and the Final Basket Level is less than the Initial Basket Level by more than the Buffer Amount, JPMorgan Chase will repay less than your principal amount at maturity, resulting in a loss of 1% of your principal amount for every 1% that the Basket has declined by more than the Buffer Amount. Investing in the Securities involves significant risks. You may lose up to 90% of your principal amount. You will not receive dividends or other distributions paid on any Underlying Stock, and the Securities will not pay interest. The downside market exposure to the Basket is buffered 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

Enhanced Growth Potential Subject to Maximum Gain — At maturity, the Securities enhance any positive Basket Return, up to the Maximum Gain of between 15.00% and 16.00%, which will be finalized on the Trade Date and provided in the pricing supplement. If the Basket Return is negative, investors may be exposed to the negative Basket Return at maturity, subject to the Buffer Amount.

Buffered Downside Market Exposure — If the Basket Return is zero or negative and the Final Basket Level is less than the Initial Basket Level by up to the Buffer Amount of 10%, JPMorgan Chase will repay your principal amount at maturity. However, if the Basket Return is negative and the Final Basket Level is less than the Initial Basket Level by more than the Buffer Amount, JPMorgan Chase will repay less than your principal amount, resulting in a loss of 1% of your principal amount for every 1% that the Basket has declined by more than the Buffer Amount. You may lose up to 90% of your principal amount. The downside market exposure to the Basket is subject to the Buffer Amount 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.

Final Valuation Date2 June 26, 2017
Maturity Date2 June 30, 2017
1 Expected. In the event that we make any change to the expected Trade Date and Settlement Date, the Final Valuation Date and/or the Maturity Date will be changed so that the stated term of the Securities remains the same.
2 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 Multiple Underlyings" and "General Terms of Notes — Postponement of a Payment Date" in the accompanying product supplement no. UBS-1a-I

 

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 MAY HAVE DOWNSIDE MARKET RISK SIMILAR TO THE BASKET, SUBJECT TO THE BUFFER AMOUNT. 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 5 AND UNDER "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE PS-9 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 UP TO 90% OF YOUR INITIAL INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES. THE SECURITIES WILL NOT BE LISTED ON ANY SECURITIES EXCHANGE.

Security Offering
We are offering Buffered Return Optimization Securities linked to an equally weighted basket consisting of the 10 Underlying Stocks specified below. The Securities are offered for a minimum investment of 100 Securities at the price to public described below. The return on the Securities is subject to, and will not exceed, the Maximum Gain. The Maximum Gain and Initial Basket Level will be finalized on the Trade Date and provided in the pricing supplement.

1 See "Supplemental Use of Proceeds" in this pricing supplement for information about the components of the price to public of the Securities.
2 All sales of the Securities will be made to certain fee-based advisory accounts for which UBS Financial Services Inc., which we refer to as UBS, is an investment advisor at a purchase price of $10.00 per $10.00 principal amount Security. UBS, acting as placement agent for such advisory accounts, will purchase the Securities from a dealer that is not affiliated with UBS or J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, which we refer to as JPMS, and that dealer will purchase the Securities from JPMS. JPMS will pay all of the selling commissions it receives from us to that dealer. In no event will these selling commissions exceed $0.05 per $10.00 principal amount Security. UBS will forgo any commissions related to these sales. See "Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)" beginning on page PS-87 of the accompanying product supplement no. UBS-1a-I, as supplemented by "Supplemental Plan of Distribution" in this pricing supplement.

If the Securities priced today and assuming a Maximum Gain equal to the middle of the range listed above, the estimated value of the Securities as determined by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, which we refer to as JPMS, would be approximately $9.903 per $10 principal amount Security. JPMS's estimated value of the Securities, when the terms of the Securities are set, will be provided by JPMS in the pricing supplement and will not be less than $9.70 per $10 principal amount Security. See "JPMS's Estimated Value of the Securities" in this pricing supplement for additional information.

The Securities are not bank deposits, are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency and are not obligations of, or guaranteed by, a bank.

Investor Suitability

     

The Securities may be suitable for you if, among other considerations:

You fully understand the risks inherent in an investment in the Securities, including the risk of loss of up to 90% of your principal amount.

You can tolerate a loss of a substantial portion of your investment and are willing to make an investment that may have similar downside market risk as a hypothetical investment in the Basket, subject to the Buffer Amount.

You believe the level of the Basket will increase over the term of the Securities and that the appreciation is unlikely to exceed an amount equal to the Maximum Gain indicated on the cover hereof (the actual Maximum Gain will be finalized on the Trade Date and provided in the pricing supplement and will not be less than the bottom of the range listed on the cover hereof).

You understand and accept that your potential return is limited by the Maximum Gain and you would be willing to invest in the Securities if the Maximum Gain were set equal to the bottom of the range indicated on the cover hereof.

You can tolerate fluctuations in the price of the Securities prior to maturity that may be similar to or exceed the downside fluctuations in the level of the Basket.

You do not seek current income from your investment and are willing to forgo dividends paid on the Underlying Stocks.

You are willing and able to hold the Securities to maturity.

You accept that there may be little or no secondary market for the Securities and that any secondary market will depend in large part on the price, if any, at which JPMS is willing to trade the Securities.

You understand and accept the risks associated with the Underlying Stocks.

You are willing to assume the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase for all payments under the Securities, and understand that if JPMorgan Chase defaults on its obligations you may not receive any amounts due to you including any repayment of principal.

 

The Securities may not be suitable for you if, among other considerations:

You do not fully understand the risks inherent in an investment in the Securities, including the risk of loss of up to 90% of your principal amount.

You cannot tolerate a loss of a substantial portion of your investment, or you are not willing to make an investment that may have similar downside market risk as a hypothetical investment in the Basket, subject to the Buffer Amount.

You believe the Final Basket Level will decline below the Initial Basket Level by more than the Buffer Amount, or you believe the Basket will appreciate over the term of the Securities by more than the Maximum Gain indicated on the cover hereof (the actual Maximum Gain will be finalized on the Trade Date and provided in the pricing supplement and will not be less than the bottom of the range listed on the cover hereof).

You seek an investment that has unlimited return potential without a cap on appreciation.

You would be unwilling to invest in the Securities if the Maximum Gain were set equal to the bottom of the range indicated on the cover hereof.

You cannot tolerate fluctuations in the price of the Securities prior to maturity that may be similar to or exceed the downside fluctuations in the level of the Basket.

You seek current income from your investment or prefer not to forgo dividends paid on the Underlying Stocks.

You are unable or unwilling to hold the Securities to maturity and seek an investment for which there will be an active secondary market.

You do not understand or accept the risks associated with the Underlying Stocks.

You are not willing to assume the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase for all payments under the Securities, including any repayment of principal.

The suitability considerations identified above are not exhaustive. 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 5 of this pricing supplement and "Risk Factors" in the accompanying product supplement no. UBS-1a-I a for risks related to an investment in the Securities. For more information on the Underlying Stocks, please see the section titled "The Underlying Stocks" below.

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. 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 Securities.

Based on current market conditions, in the opinion of our special tax counsel it is reasonable to treat the Securities 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 no. UBS-1a-I. Assuming this treatment is respected, the gain or loss on your Securities should be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if you hold your Securities for more than a year, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of Securities 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 Securities 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 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.

Withholding under legislation commonly referred to as "FATCA" may (if the Securities are recharacterized as debt instruments) apply to amounts treated as interest paid with respect to the Securities.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the accompanying product supplement no. UBS-1a-I, under a recent IRS notice, withholding under FATCA will not apply to payments of gross proceeds (other than any amount treated as interest) of a taxable disposition, including redemption at maturity, of the Securities.  You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of FATCA to the Securities.

Non-U.S. holders should also note that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the accompanying product supplement no. UBS-1a-I, recently promulgated Treasury regulations imposing a withholding tax on certain "dividend equivalents" under certain "equity linked instruments" will not apply to the Securities.

Key Risks

An investment in the Securities involves significant risks. Investing in the Securities is not equivalent to investing directly in the Basket or any of the Underlying Stocks. 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 we will not necessarily repay the full principal amount of the Securities. If the Basket Return is negative, we will pay you the principal amount of your Securities in cash only if the Final Basket Level is less than the Initial Basket Level by up to the Buffer Amount. If the Basket Return is negative and the Final Basket Level is less than the Initial Basket Level by more than the Buffer Amount, you will lose 1% of your principal amount for every 1% that the Basket has declined by more than the Buffer Amount. Accordingly, you could lose up to 90% of your principal amount.
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.
The Appreciation Potential of the Securities Is Limited by the Maximum Gain — The appreciation potential of the Securities is limited by the Maximum Gain. The Maximum Gain will be finalized on the Trade Date and provided in the pricing supplement and will not be less than the bottom of the range indicated on the front cover of this pricing supplement. Accordingly, the appreciation potential of the Securities will be limited by the Maximum Gain even if the Basket Return times the Multiplier is greater than the Maximum Gain.
The Multiplier Applies Only If You Hold the Securities to Maturity — You should be willing to hold your Securities to maturity. If you are able to sell your Securities prior to maturity in the secondary market, if any, the price you receive likely will not reflect the full economic value of the Multiplier or the Securities themselves, and the return you realize may be less than the product of the performance of the Basket and the Multiplier and may be less than the Basket return, even if that return is positive and does not exceed the Maximum Gain. You can receive the full benefit of the Multiplier, subject to the Maximum Gain, only if you hold your Securities to maturity.
The Downside Market Exposure to the Basket Is Buffered Only If You Hold the Securities to Maturity — You should be willing to hold your 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 even if the Basket has not declined by more than the Buffer Amount at the time of the secondary market transaction.
No Interest Payments — JPMorgan Chase will not make any interest payments to you with respect to the Securities.
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.
JPMS's Estimated Value of the Securities Will Be 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 will exceed JPMS's estimated value of the Securities because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the Securities are included in the original issue price of the Securities. These costs include the selling commissions, the 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 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.

6


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 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 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 one share of each of the Underlying Stocks, 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 price of one share of each of the Underlying Stocks;
  the time to maturity of the Securities;
  the dividend rates on the Underlying Stocks;
  the actual and expected positive or negative correlation among the Underlying Stocks, or the actual or expected absence of any such correlation;
  the occurrence of certain events affecting the issuer of an Underlying Stock that may or may not require an adjustment to the applicable Stock Adjustment Factor, 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.
Correlation (or Lack of Correlation) of the Underlying Stocks — Changes in the prices of the Underlying Stocks may not correlate with each other. At a time when the price of one or more Underlying Stocks increase, the price of one or more other Underlying Stocks may not increase as much or may even decline. Therefore, in calculating the closing level of the Basket, an increase in the price of one or more of the Underlying Stocks may be moderated, or more than offset, by a lesser increase or decline in the price of one or more other Underlying Stocks. In addition, high correlation of movements in the prices of the Underlying Stocks during periods of negative returns among the Underlying Stocks could have an adverse effect on any payment on the Securities.
Investing in the Securities Is Not Equivalent to Investing in the Underlying Stocks — Investing in the Securities is not equivalent to investing in the Underlying Stocks. As an investor in the Securities, you will not have any ownership interest or rights in the Underlying Stocks, such as voting rights, dividend payments or other distributions.

Your Return on the Securities Will Not Reflect Dividends on the Underlying Stocks — Your return on the Securities will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the Underlying Stocks and received the dividends on the Underlying Stocks. This is because the calculation agent will calculate the amount payable to you at maturity of the Securities by reference to the Final Basket Level, which reflects the closing level of the Basket on the Final Valuation Date without taking into consideration the value of dividends on the Underlying Stocks.
No Affiliation with the Issuers of the Underlying Stocks — We are not affiliated with the issuers of the Underlying Stocks. We have not independently verified the information about the Underlying Stocks or the issuers of the Underlying Stocks contained in this pricing supplement. You should make your own investigation into the Underlying Stocks and the issuers of the Underlying Stocks. We are not responsible for the public disclosure of information by the issuers of the Underlying Stocks, whether contained in SEC filings or otherwise.
Historical Performance of the Basket Should Not be Taken as an Indication of the Future Performance of the Basket During the Term of the Securities — The actual performance of the Basket over the term of the Securities may bear little relation to the historical performance of the Basket. The future performance of the Basket may differ significantly from its historical performance. It is impossible to predict whether the level of the Basket will rise or fall. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of the Basket will not adversely affect any payment on the 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 an Underlying Stock for certain corporate events (such as stock splits and stock dividends) affecting the Underlying Stock and making other related adjustments that may affect your payment at maturity, the calculation agent is not required to make an adjustment for every corporate event that can affect each Underlying Stock. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to make these adjustments, the market value of your Securities and any payment on the Securities may be materially 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 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 Underlying Stocks and could affect the prices of the Underlying Stocks, 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 Underlying Stocks — Trading or transactions by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates in the Underlying Stocks or in futures, options or other derivative products on the Underlying Stocks may adversely affect the market values of the Underlying Stocks and, therefore, the market value of the Securities.
The Final Terms and Valuation of the Securities Will Be Finalized on the Trade Date and Provided in the Pricing Supplement — The final terms of the Securities will be based on relevant market conditions when the terms of the Securities are set and will be finalized on the Trade Date and provided in the pricing supplement. In particular, each of JPMS's estimated value and the Maximum Gain will be finalized on the Trade Date and provided in the pricing supplement and each may be as low as the applicable minimum set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement. Accordingly, you should consider your potential investment in the Securities based on the minimums for JPMS's estimated value and the Maximum Gain.

Risks Relating to the Ordinary Shares of Medtronic Public Limited Company

Risks Associated with Non-U.S. Companies — An investment in Securities linked to the ordinary shares of Medtronic Public Limited Company involves risks associated with the home country of Medtronic Public Limited Company, which is Ireland. The prices of securities issued by non-U.S. companies may be affected by political, economic, financial and social factors in the home country of the applicable non-U.S. issuer, including changes in that country's government, economic and fiscal policies, currency exchange laws or other laws or restrictions. Moreover, the economy of that country may differ favorably or unfavorably from the economy of the United States in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources and self-sufficiency. That country may be subjected to different and, in some cases, more adverse economic environments.

Hypothetical Examples and Return Table

The following table and hypothetical examples below illustrate the payment at maturity per $10.00 principal amount Security for a hypothetical range of Basket Returns from -100.00% to +100.00%, reflect the Multiplier of 1.50, the Buffer Amount of 10% and the Initial Basket Level of 100 and assume a Maximum Gain of 15.00% (the bottom of the range of 15.00% to 16.00%). The actual Maximum Gain will be finalized on the Trade Date and provided in the pricing supplement and will not be less than 15.00% or greater than 16.00%. The hypothetical payment at maturity examples set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual returns applicable to a purchaser of the Securities. The actual payment at maturity will be determined based on the Initial Basket Level and the Maximum Gain to be finalized on the Trade Date and provided in the pricing supplement and the Final Basket Level on the Final Valuation Date. You should consider carefully whether the Securities are suitable to your investment goals. The numbers appearing in the table below have been rounded for ease of analysis.

       
Final Basket Level Basket Return (%) Payment at Maturity ($) Return at Maturity per
$10.00 issue price (%)
200.00 100.00% $11.500 15.00%
190.00 90.00% $11.500 15.00%
180.00 80.00% $11.500 15.00%
170.00 70.00% $11.500 15.00%
160.00 60.00% $11.500 15.00%
150.00 50.00% $11.500 15.00%
140.00 40.00% $11.500 15.00%
130.00 30.00% $11.500 15.00%
120.00 20.00% $11.500 15.00%
115.00 15.00% $11.500 15.00%
110.00 10.00% $11.500 15.00%
105.00 5.00% $10.750 7.50%
102.50 2.50% $10.375 3.75%
101.00 1.00% $10.150 1.50%
100.00 0.00% $10.000 0.00%
95.00 -5.00% $10.000 0.00%
90.00 -10.00% $10.000 0.00%
89.99 -10.01% $9.999 -0.01%
80.00 -20.00% $9.000 -10.00%
70.00 -30.00% $8.000 -20.00%
60.00 -40.00% $7.000 -30.00%
50.00 -50.00% $6.000 -40.00%
40.00 -60.00% $5.000 -50.00%
30.00 -70.00% $4.000 -60.00%
20.00 -80.00% $3.000 -70.00%
10.00 -90.00% $2.000 -80.00%
0.00 -100.00% $1.000 -90.00%

Example 1 — The level of the Basket increases by 2.50% from the Initial Basket Level of 100 to the Final Basket Level of 102.50.

Because the Multiplier of 1.50 times the Basket Return of 4% is less than the Maximum Gain of 15.00%, JPMorgan Chase will pay you your principal amount plus a return equal to the Basket Return times the Multiplier, resulting in a payment at maturity of $10.60 per $10 principal amount Security, calculated as follows:

$10.00 + ($10.00 × Basket Return × Multiplier)
$10.00 + ($10.00 × 2.50% × 1.5) = $10.375

Example 2 — The level of the Basket increases by 12% from the Initial Basket Level of 100 to the Final Basket Level of 112.

Because the Multiplier of 1.50 times the Basket Return of 12% is greater than the Maximum Gain of 15.00%, JPMorgan Chase will pay you your principal amount plus a return equal to the Maximum Gain of 15.00%, resulting in a payment at maturity of $11.50 per $10 principal amount Security, calculated as follows:

$10.00 + ($10.00 × Maximum Gain)
$10.00 + ($10.00 × 15.00%) = $11.50

Example 3 — The level of the Basket decreases by 10% from the Initial Basket Level of 100 to the Final Basket Level of 90.

Because the Basket Return is negative and the Final Basket Level is less than the Initial Basket Level by up to the Buffer Amount of 10%, at maturity, JPMorgan Chase will repay your principal amount of $10.00 per $10 principal amount Security.

9


Example 4 — The level of the Basket decreases by 40% from the Initial Basket Level of 100 to the Final Basket Level of 60.

Because the Basket Return is -40% and the Final Basket Level is less than the Initial Basket Level by more than the Buffer Amount of 10%, at maturity, JPMorgan Chase will pay you a payment at maturity of $7.00 per $10 principal amount Security, calculated as follows:

$10.00 + [$10.00 × (Basket Return + Buffer Amount)]
$10.00 + [$10.00 × (-40.00% + 10.00%)] = $7.00

If the Basket Return is negative and the Final Basket Level is less than the Initial Basket Level by more than the Buffer Amount, investors will lose 1% of their principal amount for every 1% that the Basket has declined in excess of the Buffer Amount. Investors could lose up to 90% of their principal amount.

The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the Securities shown above apply only if you hold the Securities for their entire term. These hypotheticals do not reflect fees or expenses that would be associated with any sale in the secondary market. If these fees and expenses were included, the hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments shown above would likely be lower.

Closing Level of the Basket: 100 × [1 + (8.00% × 10.00%) + (7.00% × 10.00%) + (6.00% × 10.00%) + (10.00% × 10.00%) + (2.00% × 10.00%) + (2.00% × 10.00%) + (1.00% × 10.00%) + (2.00% × 10.00%) + (4.00% × 10.00%) + (8.00% × 10.00%)] = 105

A closing level of the Basket of 105 represents a 5% increase in the level of the Basket from the Initial Basket Level.

Example 2 — On the Final Valuation Date, each Underlying Stock closes below its Initial Price.

The Basket

The following graph shows the daily hypothetical performance of the Basket from May 18, 2012 through February 10, 2016, assuming that the closing level of the Basket on May 18, 2012 was 100 and that the Underlying Stocks on those dates were weighted as specified in the "Indicative Terms" on page 4 of this pricing supplement. The hypothetical historical daily Basket performance data in this graph was determined using the closing prices of one share of each Underlying Stock reported by the Bloomberg Professional® service ("Bloomberg") for those dates, without independent verification. The hypothetical historical performance of the Basket displayed below is a reflection of the aggregated historical performance of the Underlying Stocks as described above.

Past performance of the Basket is not indicative of the future performance of the Basket. See "Key Risks — Risks Relating to the Securities Generally — Historical Performance of the Basket Should Not be Taken as an Indication of the Future Performance of the Basket During the Term of the Securities."

Alphabet Inc.

According to its publicly available filings with the SEC, Alphabet Inc., which we refer to as Alphabet, is a holding company that, through its subsidiaries (which include Google Inc.), provides web-based search, advertisements, maps, software applications, mobile operating systems, consumer content, enterprise solutions, commerce and hardware products. Alphabet became the successor SEC registrant to, and parent holding company of, Google Inc. on October 2, 2015, in connection with a holding company reorganization. Alphabet's Class A common stock began trading on October 5, 2015 under the ticker symbol "GOOGL," the same symbol under which Google Inc.'s Class A common stock previously traded. The Class A common stock of Alphabet, par value $0.001 per share (Bloomberg ticker: GOOGL), is listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market, which we refer to as the relevant exchange for purposes of Alphabet in the accompanying product supplement no. UBS-1a-I. Alphabet's SEC file number is 001-37580 and the SEC file number of its predecessor SEC registrant, Google Inc., is 001-36380.

Historical Information Regarding the Class A Common Stock of Google Inc. and the Class A Common Stock of Alphabet

The following table* sets forth the quarterly high and low closing prices of one share of the Class A common stock of Google Inc. or of one share of the Class A common stock of Alphabet, as applicable, based on daily closing prices on the primary exchange for Google Inc. and Alphabet, respectively, as reported by Bloomberg. The closing price of one share of the Class A common stock of Alphabet on February 10, 2016 was $706.85. The actual Initial Price will be the closing price of one share of the Class A common stock of Alphabet on the Trade Date. We obtained the closing prices and other information below from Bloomberg, without independent verification. The closing prices and this other information may have been adjusted by Bloomberg for corporate actions such as stock splits, public offerings, mergers and acquisitions, spin-offs, delistings and bankruptcy.

Since their inception, the price of one share of the Class A common stock of Google Inc. and the price of one share of the Class A common stock of Alphabet have experienced significant fluctuations. The historical performance of the Class A common stock of Google Inc. and the Class A common stock of Alphabet should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the closing prices of one share of the Class A common stock of Alphabet during the term of the Securities.

Supplemental Plan of Distribution

All sales of the Securities will be made to certain fee-based advisory accounts for which UBS is an investment advisor at a purchase price of $10.00 per $10.00 principal amount Security. UBS, acting as placement agent for such advisory accounts, will purchase the Securities from a dealer that is not affiliated with UBS or JPMS, and that dealer will purchase the Securities from JPMS. JPMS will pay all of the selling commissions it receives from us to that dealer. In no event will these selling commissions exceed $0.05 per $10.00 principal amount Security. UBS will forgo any commissions related to these sales. Investors who purchase and hold the Securities in fee-based advisory accounts will pay advisory fees to UBS based on the amount of assets held in those accounts, including the Securities.

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

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 will be lower than the original issue price of the Securities because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the Securities are included in the original issue price of the Securities. These costs include the selling commissions paid to an unaffiliated dealer, 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 Will Be 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 two 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 and Return Table" and "Hypothetical Examples of Calculations of the Closing Levels of the Basket" in this pricing supplement for an illustration of the risk-return profile of the Securities and "The Basket" and "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 an unaffiliated dealer, 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.
