|
|
an Initial Value of 100
|
|
●
|
|
a Maximum Return of 23.00%

an Upside Leverage Factor of 1.5
|
|
●
|
|
the Buffer Amount of 10%.
|
The hypothetical Initial Value of 100 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and may
not represent a likely actual Initial Value. The actual Initial Value will be based on the closing level of the Index on the Pricing Date and will be provided in the pricing supplement. For historical data regarding the actual closing level of the
Index, please see the historical information set forth under The Index in this pricing supplement.

The following graph demonstrates the hypothetical total returns and hypothetical payments at maturity on the notes at
maturity for a sub-set of Index Returns detailed in the table above (-30% to 30%). Your investment may result in a loss of up to 90% of your principal amount at maturity.
How the Notes Work
Upside
Scenario:
If the Final Value is greater than the Initial Value, investors will receive at maturity the $1,000 principal amount plus a return equal to 1.5
times the Index Return, up to the Maximum Return, which will not be less than 23.00% or greater than 27.00%, at maturity. Assuming a hypothetical Maximum Return of 23.00%, an investor will realize the maximum payment at maturity at a Final
Value of 115.33% or more of the Initial Value.
●
|
|
If the closing level of the Index increases 5.00%, investors will receive at maturity a 7.50% return, or $1,075.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.
|
●
|
|
Assuming a hypothetical Maximum Return of 23.00%, if the closing level of the Index increases 40.00%, investors will receive at maturity a return equal to the Maximum Return of 23.00%, or $1,230.00 per $1,000 principal
amount note, which is the maximum payment at maturity.
|
Par Scenario:
If the Final Value is equal to the Initial Value or is less than the Initial Value by up to the Buffer Amount of 10%, investors will receive at maturity the principal
amount of their notes.
Downside Scenario:
If the Final Value is less than the Initial Value by more than the Buffer Amount of 10%, investors will lose 1% of the principal amount of their notes for every 1% that
the Final Value is less than the Initial Value by more than the Buffer Amount.
●
|
|
For example, if the closing level of the Index declines 50.00%, investors will lose 40.00% of their principal amount and receive only $600.00 per $1,000 principal amount note at maturity.
|
The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the notes shown above apply
only if you hold the notes for their entire
term.
These hypotheticals do not reflect the fees or expenses that would be associated with any sale in the secondary market. If these fees and expenses were included, the hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments shown above
would likely be lower.
Selected Risk Considerations
An investment in the notes involves significant risks. These
risks are explained in more detail in the Risk Factors sections of the accompanying product supplement and underlying supplement.
●
|
|
YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS
|
The notes do not guarantee any return of
principal. If the Final Value is less than the Initial Value by more than 10%, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Final Value is less than the Initial Value by more than 10%. Accordingly, you may
lose up to 90% of your principal amount at maturity.

|
●
|
|
YOUR MAXIMUM GAIN ON THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM RETURN,
|
regardless of the appreciation in
the Index, which may be significant.
●
|
|
CREDIT RISKS OF JPMORGAN FINANCIAL AND JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
|
Investors are dependent on
our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.s ability to pay all amounts due on the notes. Any actual or potential change in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.s creditworthiness or credit spreads, as determined by the market for taking that credit
risk, is likely to adversely affect the value of the notes. If we and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were to default on our payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the notes and you could lose your entire investment.
●
|
|
AS A FINANCE SUBSIDIARY, JPMORGAN FINANCIAL HAS NO INDEPENDENT OPERATIONS AND HAS LIMITED ASSETS
|
As a finance subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co., we have no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of our
securities. Aside from the initial capital contribution from JPMorgan Chase & Co., substantially all of our assets relate to obligations of our affiliates to make payments under loans made by us or other intercompany agreements. As a
result, we are dependent upon payments from our affiliates to meet our obligations under the notes. If these affiliates do not make payments to us and we fail to make payments on the notes, you may have to seek payment under the related
guarantee by JPMorgan Chase & Co., and that guarantee will rank
pari passu
with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co.
We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the
notes. In performing these duties, our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.s economic interests are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes. It is possible that hedging or trading activities of ours or our affiliates in
connection with the notes could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the notes declines. Please refer to Risk Factors Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest in the accompanying product
supplement.
●
|
|
THE NOTES DO NOT PAY INTEREST.
|
●
|
|
YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE DIVIDENDS ON THE SECURITIES INCLUDED IN THE INDEX OR HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THOSE SECURITIES.
|
The notes will not be listed on any securities
exchange. Accordingly, the price at which you may be able to trade your notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which JPMS is willing to buy the notes. You may not be able to sell your notes. The notes are not designed to
be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity.
●
|
|
THE FINAL TERMS AND VALUATION OF THE NOTES WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE PRICING SUPPLEMENT
|
You
should consider your potential investment in the notes based on the minimums for the estimated value of the notes and the Maximum Return.
●
|
|
THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES WILL BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE (PRICE TO PUBLIC) OF THE NOTES
|
The estimated value of the notes is only an estimate determined by reference to several factors. The original issue price of the notes will exceed the
estimated value of the notes because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the notes are included in the original issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling commissions, the projected profits, if any, that our
affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. See The Estimated Value of the Notes in this pricing supplement.
●
|
|
THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE VALUES OF THE NOTES AND MAY DIFFER FROM OTHERS ESTIMATES
|
See The Estimated Value of the Notes in this pricing supplement.
●
|
|
THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES IS DERIVED BY REFERENCE TO AN INTERNAL FUNDING RATE
|
The
internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the notes is based on, among other things, our and our affiliates view of the funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing
liability management costs of the notes The use of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the
|
|
|
PS-4 | Structured
Investments
Capped Buffered Return Enhanced Notes Linked to the Dow Jones
Industrial Average
TM
|
|
|
terms of the notes and any secondary market prices of the notes. See The Estimated Value of the Notes in this pricing supplement.
●
|
|
THE VALUE OF THE NOTES AS PUBLISHED BY JPMS (AND WHICH MAY BE REFLECTED ON CUSTOMER ACCOUNT STATEMENTS) MAY BE HIGHER THAN THE THEN-CURRENT ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES FOR A LIMITED TIME PERIOD
|
We generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the notes will be partially paid back to you in
connection with any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period. See Secondary Market Prices of the Notes in this pricing supplement for additional information relating to
this initial period. Accordingly, the estimated value of your notes during this initial period may be lower than the value of the notes as published by JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer account statements).
●
|
|
SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL LIKELY BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE OF THE NOTES
|
Any secondary market prices of the notes will likely be lower than the original issue price of the notes because, among other things, secondary market
prices take into account our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances and, also, because secondary market prices (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 notes. As a result the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy the notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, is likely to be lower than the
original issue price. Any sale by you prior to the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you.
●
|
|
SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL BE IMPACTED BY MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS
|
The secondary market price of the notes during their term will be impacted by a number of economic and market factors, which may either offset or magnify
each other, aside from the selling commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, estimated hedging costs and the level of the Index. Additionally, independent pricing vendors and/or third party broker-dealers may publish a price for the notes,
which may also be reflected on customer account statements. This price may be different (higher or lower) than the price of the notes, if any, at which JPMS may be willing to purchase your notes in the secondary market. See Risk Factors
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes Secondary market prices of the notes will be impacted by many economic and market factors in the accompanying product supplement.

The Index
The Dow Jones Industrial Average
TM
consists of 30 common stocks chosen as representative of the broad market of U.S. industry. For additional information about the Dow Jones Industrial Average
TM
, see Equity Index Descriptions The Dow Jones Industrial Average
TM
in the accompanying underlying supplement.
Historical Information
The following graph sets
forth the historical performance of the Index based on the weekly historical closing levels of the Index from January 7, 2011 through April 29, 2016. The closing level of the Index on April 29, 2016 was 17,773.64. We obtained the
closing levels below from the Bloomberg Professional
®
service (Bloomberg), without independent verification.
The historical closing levels of the Index should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the closing level of the Index
on the Pricing Date or the Observation Date. There can be no assurance that the performance of the Index will result in the return of any of your principal amount in excess of $100 per $1,000 principal amount note, subject to the credit risk of
JPMorgan Financial, as issuer of the notes, and the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co., as guarantor of the notes.
Tax Treatment
You should review carefully the section entitled
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences in the accompanying product supplement no. 4-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 notes.
Based on current market conditions, in the opinion of
our special tax counsel it is reasonable to treat the notes as open transactions that are not debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as more fully described in Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders Notes Treated as Open Transactions That Are Not Debt Instruments in the accompanying product supplement. Assuming this treatment is respected, the gain or loss on your notes should be treated as
long-term capital gain or loss if you hold your notes for more than a year, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of notes at the issue price. However, the IRS or a court may not respect this treatment, in which case the timing and character
of any income or loss on the notes could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, in 2007 Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of prepaid forward contracts and
similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require investors in these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income
or loss with respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S.
investors should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject
|
|
|
PS-6 | Structured
Investments
Capped Buffered Return Enhanced Notes Linked to the Dow Jones
Industrial Average
TM
|
|
|
to the constructive ownership regime, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income and impose a notional interest
charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax
consequences of an investment in the notes, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including possible alternative treatments and
the issues presented by this notice.
Withholding under legislation commonly referred to as FATCA may (if the notes are recharacterized as debt
instruments) apply to amounts treated as interest paid with respect to the notes, as well as to payments of gross proceeds of a taxable disposition, including redemption at maturity, of a note. However, under a recent IRS notice, this regime
will not apply to payments of gross proceeds (other than any amount treated as interest) with respect to dispositions occurring before January 1, 2019. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of FATCA to the
notes.
Non-U.S. holders should also note that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the accompanying product supplement, recently promulgated Treasury
regulations imposing a withholding tax on certain dividend equivalents under certain equity linked instruments will not apply to the notes.
The Estimated Value of the Notes
The estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover of
this pricing supplement is equal to the sum of the values of the following hypothetical components: (1) a fixed-income debt component with the same maturity as the notes, valued using the internal funding rate described below, and (2) the derivative
or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes. The estimated value of the notes does not represent a minimum price at which JPMS would be willing to buy your notes in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The internal funding
rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the notes is based on, among other things, our and our affiliates view of the funding value of the notes as well as the issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of
the notes. For additional information, see Selected Risk Considerations The Estimated Value of the Notes Is Derived by Reference to an Internal Funding Rate in this pricing supplement.
The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes is derived from internal pricing models of our affiliates. These models are
dependent on inputs such as the traded market prices of comparable derivative instruments and on various other inputs, some of which are market-observable, and which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors, as well
as assumptions about future market events and/or environments. Accordingly, the estimated value of the notes is determined when the terms of the notes are set based on market conditions and other relevant factors and assumptions existing at
that time.
The estimated value of the notes does not represent future values of the notes and may differ from others estimates. Different pricing models and
assumptions could provide valuations for the notes that are greater than or less than the estimated value of the notes. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to be
incorrect. On future dates, the value of the notes could change significantly based on, among other things, changes in market conditions, our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.s creditworthiness, interest rate movements and other relevant factors,
which may impact the price, if any, at which JPMS would be willing to buy notes from you in secondary market transactions.
The estimated value of the notes will be
lower than the original issue price of the notes because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the notes are included in the original issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling commissions paid to JPMS and other
affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes.
Because hedging our obligations entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or it may result in a loss. A portion of the profits, if any, realized in
hedging our obligations under the notes may be allowed to other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, and we or one or more of our affiliates will retain any remaining hedging profits, if any. See Selected Risk Considerations The
Estimated Value of the Notes Will Be Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to Public) of the Notes in this pricing supplement.
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes
For information about factors that will impact any secondary
market prices of the notes, see Risk Factors Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes Secondary market prices of the notes will be impacted by many economic and market factors in the
accompanying product supplement. In addition, we generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the notes will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in an amount that
will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period. These costs can include projected hedging profits, if
|
|
|
PS-7 | Structured
Investments
Capped Buffered Return Enhanced Notes Linked to the Dow Jones
Industrial Average
TM
|
|
|
any, and, in some circumstances, estimated hedging costs and our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances. This initial predetermined time period is intended to be
the shorter of six months and one-half of the stated term of the notes. The length of any such initial period reflects the structure of the notes, whether our affiliates expect to earn a profit in connection with our hedging activities, the
estimated costs of hedging the notes and when these costs are incurred, as determined by our affiliates. See Selected Risk Considerations The Value of the Notes as Published by JPMS (and Which May Be Reflected on Customer Account
Statements) May Be Higher Than the Then-Current Estimated Value of the Notes for a Limited Time Period in this pricing supplement.
Supplemental Use of Proceeds
The notes are offered to meet investor demand for products
that reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the notes. See Hypothetical Payout Profile and How the Notes Work in this pricing supplement for an illustration of the risk-return profile of the notes and
The Index in this pricing supplement for a description of the market exposure provided by the notes.
The original issue price of the notes is equal to
the estimated value of the notes plus the selling commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, plus (minus) the projected profits (losses) that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our
obligations under the notes, plus the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes.
Additional Terms Specific to the Notes

notes at any time prior to the time at which we accept such offer by notifying the applicable agent. We reserve the right to change the terms of, or reject any offer to purchase, the notes prior to their issuance. In the event of any
changes to the terms of the notes, we will notify you and you will be asked to accept such changes in connection with your purchase. You may also choose to reject such changes, in which case we may reject your offer to purchase.
