During any interest payment period, interest will not accrue on any day on which (i) the index closing value is less than the index reference level, or (ii) 30ICE minus 2ICE is less than 0.00%. If on each day during an interest payment period either (i) the index closing value is less than the index reference level or (ii) 30ICE minus 2ICE is less than 0.00%, the securities will not pay any interest for such interest payment period. We, JPMorgan Financial Company LLC, which we refer to as JPMorgan Financial, the payment on which is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., have the right to redeem the securities on any quarterly redemption date beginning June 30, 2017.

Callable Range Accrual Securities due June 30, 2031

The Securities

The securities are issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. We describe the basic features of these securities in the sections of the accompanying product supplement called “Description of Notes” and “General Terms of Notes” subject to and as modified by the provisions described above. The terms of the securities as set forth in this pricing supplement, to the extent they differ or conflict with those set forth in the accompanying product supplement, will supersede the terms set forth in the accompanying product supplement . Among other things, your interest rate will be determined as described above under “Summary Terms — Interest Rate.” At maturity, if we have not redeemed the securities, r egardless of the performance of the ICE Swap rates, the payment at maturity will be determined based on the index closing value on the valuation date. If the index closing value on the valuation date is greater than or equal to the trigger level, we will pay you the principal amount of your securities plus any accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the maturity date. However, if the index closing value on the valuation date is less than the trigger level, you will lose at least 50% of principal and may lose your entire principal at maturity. All payments on the securities are subject to the creditworthiness of JPMorgan Chase & Co .

The securities offer periodic interest payments on each interest payment date. For each interest payment period, the securities will pay interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable interest factor, provided that interest will accrue at such per annum rate only on each day on which (i) the index closing value is greater than or equal to the index reference level and (ii) the spread is greater than or equal to 0.00%, each as determined on the corresponding accrual determination date. If on each accrual determination date during such interest payment period, either (a) the index closing value is less than the index reference level or (b) the spread is less than 0%, interest will not accrue during the related interest payment period. Interest, if any, will be paid in arrears on each interest payment date, to the holders of record at the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the applicable interest payment date. The yield on the securities may be less than the overall return you would receive from a conventional debt security that you could purchase today with the same maturity as the securities.

At our option, we may redeem the securities, in whole but not in part, on any redemption date, at a price equal to the principal amount being redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest, subject to the business day convention and the interest accrual convention described on the cover of this pricing supplement and in the accompanying product supplement. Any accrued and unpaid interest on the securities redeemed will be paid to the person who is the holder of record of such securities at the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the applicable redemption date.

Additional Provisions

The S&P 500 ® Index.

 

The S&P 500 ® Index consists of stocks of 500 component companies selected to provide a performance benchmark for the U.S. equity markets. For additional information on the S&P 500 ® Index, see the information set forth under “Equity Index Descriptions — The S&P 500 ® Index” in the accompanying underlying supplement no. 1-I.

The ICE Swap Rate

What are the 30-Year U.S. Dollar ICE Swap Rate (“30ICE”) and the 2-Year U.S. Dollar ICE Swap Rate (“2ICE”)?

The 30ICE is the rate for U.S. dollar swap with a Designated Maturity of 30 years that appears on Reuters page “ICESWAP1” (or any successor page) at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any accrual determination date, as determined by the calculation agent.

The 2ICE is the rate for U.S. dollar swap with a Designated Maturity of 2 years that appears on Reuters page “ICESWAP1” (or any successor page) at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any accrual determination date, as determined by the calculation agent.

 

 

 

June 2016 Page 3

JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC

Callable Range Accrual Securities due June 30, 2031

An interest rate swap rate, at any given time, generally indicates the fixed rate of interest (paid semi-annually) that a counterparty in the swaps market would have to pay for a given maturity, in order to receive a floating rate (paid quarterly) equal to 3-month LIBOR for that same maturity.

ICE Swap Rate Fallback Provisions

On any accrual determination date, if the 30ICE or the 2ICE cannot be determined by reference to Reuters page “ICESWAP1” (or any successor page), then the calculation agent will determine such affected rate for such day on the basis of the mid-market semi-annual swap rate quotations to the calculation agent provided by five leading swap dealers in the New York City interbank market (the “Reference Banks”) at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such accrual determination date, and, for this purpose, the mid-market semi-annual swap rate means the mean of the bid and offered rates for the semi-annual fixed leg, calculated on a 30/360 day count basis, of a fixed-for-floating U.S. Dollar interest rate swap transaction with a term equal to the applicable 30 year or 2 year maturity commencing on such accrual determination date and in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in the relevant market at the relevant time with an acknowledged dealer of good credit in the swap market, where the floating leg, calculated on an actual/360 day count basis, is equivalent to USD LIBOR with a designated maturity of three months. The calculation agent will request the principal New York City office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least three quotations are provided, the rate for that day will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest). If fewer than three quotations are provided as requested, the rate will be determined by the calculation agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.

Index Closing Value

For each accrual determination date, the official closing level of the S&P 500 ® Index (the “Index”) published following the regular official weekday close of trading for the S&P 500 ® Index on Bloomberg Professional ® Service page “SPX Index HP” on such accrual determination date. If a market disruption event exists with respect to the S&P 500 ® Index on any accrual determination date, the index closing value on the immediately preceding accrual determination date for which no market disruption event occurs or is continuing will be the index closing value for such disrupted accrual determination date (and will also be the index closing value for the originally scheduled accrual determination date). In certain circumstances, the index closing value will be based on the alternative calculation of the S&P 500 ® Index as described under “General Terms of Notes — Discontinuation of an Equity Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation” in the accompanying product supplement no. 1-I.

Accrual Determination Date

For each calendar day, the second trading day prior to such calendar day; provided that for the period commencing on the sixth scheduled business day prior to but excluding each interest payment date, the accrual determination date will be the first trading day that immediately precedes such period. For purposes of product supplement no. 1-I, an accrual determination date is (i) an index determination date and (ii) a USD ICE Swap determination date.

Trading Day

A day, as determined by the calculation agent, (i) on which trading is generally conducted on (a) the relevant exchanges for securities underlying the S&P 500 ® Index or the relevant successor index, if applicable, and (b) the exchanges on which futures or options contracts related to the S&P 500 ® Index or the relevant successor index, if applicable, are traded, other than a day on which trading on such relevant exchange or exchange on which such futures or options contracts are traded is scheduled to close prior to its regular weekday closing time and (ii) which is a U.S. government securities business day.

U.S. Government Securities Business Day

Any day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (“SIFMA”) recommends that the fixed income departments of its members be closed for the entire day for purposes of trading in U.S. government securities.

Hypothetical Examples

Hypothetical Examples of Calculation of the Interest Rate on the Securities for an Interest Payment Period

 

The following examples illustrate how to calculate the interest rate on the securities for four hypothetical interest payment periods. The following examples assume that we have not called the securities prior to their scheduled maturity date, the interest factor is 8.00% and the total number of calendar days in the applicable interest payment period is 90. The hypothetical spread, index closing values and interest rates in the following examples are for illustrative purposes only and may not correspond to the actual spread, index closing values or interest rates for any interest payment period applicable to a purchaser of the securities. The numbers appearing in the following examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Example 1: The spread is greater than or equal to 0.00% and the index closing value is greater than or equal to the index reference level on 70 calendar days during the interest payment period. Because (i) the spread is greater than 0.00% and (ii) the index closing value is greater than the index reference level for 70 calendar days and the interest factor for the interest payment period is 8.00%, the interest rate for the interest payment period is 6.22% per annum, calculated as follows:

8.00% × (70 / 90) = 6.22% per annum

Example 2: The spread is greater than or equal to 0.00% and the index closing value is greater than or equal to the index reference level on 50 calendar days during the interest payment period. Because (i) the spread is greater than 0.00% and (ii) the index closing value is greater than the index reference level for 50 calendar days and the interest factor for the interest payment period is 8.00%, the interest rate for the interest payment period is 4.44% per annum, calculated as follows:

8.00% × (50 / 90) = 4.44% per annum

Example 3: The spread is greater than or equal to 0.00% and the index closing value is greater than or equal to the index reference level on 90 calendar days during the interest payment period. Because (i) the spread is greater than 0.00% and (ii) the index closing value is greater than the index reference level for all 90 calendar days and the interest factor for the interest payment period is 8.00%, the interest rate for the interest payment period is 8.00% per annum, calculated as follows:

8.00% × (90 / 90) = 8.00% per annum

Example 4: The spread is greater than or equal to 0.00% but and the index closing value is less than the index reference level on each calendar day during the interest payment period. Regardless of the interest factor, because the index closing value is less than the index reference level for each day during the interest payment period, the interest rate for the interest payment period is 0.00% per annum. Under these circumstances, investors would not receive any interest for the given interest payment period.

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity

 

The following examples illustrate how to calculate the payment at maturity. For purposes of the following examples, we have assumed a hypothetical initial index value of 2,000 and a hypothetical trigger level of 1,000, and that the securities are not called prior to their scheduled maturity date. Each hypothetical payment at maturity set forth below is for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual payment at maturity applicable to a purchaser of the securities. In addition, the effect of any accrued and unpaid interest has been excluded.

Example 1: The level of the index increases from the initial index value of 2,000 to a final index value of 2,500. Because the final index value of 2,500 is greater than the initial index value of 2,000, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount security. Investors do not participate in any appreciation of the index.

Example 2: The level of the index decreases from the initial index value of 2,000 to a final index value of 1,400. Although the index return is negative, because the final index value of 1,400 is not less than the trigger level of 1,000, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount security.

Example 3: The level of the index decreases from the initial index value of 2,000 to a final index value of 900. Because the index return is negative and the final index value of 900 is less than the trigger level of 1,000, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $450.00 per $1,000 principal amount security, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × -55.00%) = $450.00

June 2016 Page 6

JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC

Callable Range Accrual Securities due June 30, 2031

Example 4: The level of the index decreases from the initial index value of 2,000 to a final index value of 0. Because the index return is negative and the final index value of 0 is less than the trigger level of 1,000, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $0.00 per $1,000 principal amount security, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × -100%) = $0.00

If the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity and the final index value is less than the trigger level, investors will lose a significant portion or all of their investment.

The hypothetical payments on the securities shown above apply only if the securities are not called prior to maturity and 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 payments shown above would likely be lower.

Risk Factors

The securities involve risks not associated with an investment in ordinary floating rate securities. An investment in the securities entails significant risks not associated with similar investments in a conventional debt security, including, but not limited to, fluctuations in 30ICE, 2ICE and the index, and other events that are difficult to predict and beyond our control.

The following is a non-exhaustive list of certain key risk factors for investors in the securities. For further discussion of these and other risks, you should read the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement.

§ Your investment may result in a loss. The securities do not guarantee any return of principal. The return on the securities at maturity is linked to the performance of the index and will depend on whether or not the final index value is greater than or equal to the trigger level. Your investment will be exposed to significant loss if the final index value is less than the trigger level. For every 1% that the final index value is less than the trigger level, you will lose an amount equal to 1% of the principal amount of your securities. Accordingly, if the final index value is less than the trigger level, you will lose at least 50.00% of your principal and may lose your entire principal at maturity.
§ The securities are not ordinary debt securities and are subject to an interest accrual provision; the interest rate on the securities is variable and may equal the minimum rate of 0.00%. The terms of the securities differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that the rate of interest you will receive is not fixed, but will vary based on both the level of the S&P 500 ® Index and the spread over the course of each interest payment period. The variable interest rate on the securities, while determined by reference to the spread and the official closing level of the S&P 500 ® Index as described herein, does not actually pay an amount based directly on such levels. Moreover, each calendar day during an interest payment period for which (i) the index closing value of the S&P 500 ® Index is less than the index reference level or (ii) the spread is less than 0.00% (each as determined based on the level of the S&P 500 ® Index and the spread on the applicable accrual determination date) will result in a reduction of the interest rate per annum payable for the corresponding interest payment period, potentially down to 0.00%. If, for an entire interest payment period, either (i) the official closing level of S&P 500 ® Index is less than the index reference level or (ii) the spread is less than 0.00%, the interest rate for such interest payment period will be equal to 0.00% and you will not receive any interest payment for such interest payment period. In that event, you will not be compensated for any loss in value due to inflation and other factors relating to the value of money over time during such period.
§ The securities reference an equity index and the ICE Swap rates. If the index closing value of the S&P 500 ® Index is less than the index reference level on any accrual determination date, the securities will not accrue interest on that day. If the index closing value of the S&P 500 ® Index is less than the index reference level on each accrual determination date in an interest payment period, the interest rate payable on the securities will be equal to 0.00% per annum for such interest payment period. Similarly, if the 30ICE is less than or equal to the 2ICE on any accrual determination date, the securities will not accrue interest on that day. Therefore, you are exposed to risks relating to both equity markets and swap rates. You should carefully consider the movement, current level and overall trend in equity markets and swap rates, prior to purchasing these securities. Although the securities do not directly reference the level of the S&P 500 ® Index or the ICE Swap Rates, the amount of interest, if any, payable on your securities is contingent upon, and related to, each of these levels.
§ You are exposed to the performance risks of each of the ICE Swap rates and the S&P 500 ® Index. Your interest rate applicable to each interest payment period is not linked to the aggregate performance of the ICE Swap rates and the S&P 500 ® Index. For instance, whether or not interest accrues on a calendar day within an interest payment period will be contingent upon the performance of the S&P 500 ® Index and the spread, each as determined on the applicable accrual determination date. Unlike an investment in an instrument with a return linked to a basket of underlying assets, in which risk is mitigated through diversification among all of the components of the basket, an investment in the securities will expose you to the risks related to each of the ICE Swap rates and the S&P 500 ® Index. Poor performance of the 30ICE, as compared to the 2ICE (meaning that the spread would be lower), or the S&P 500 ® Index (meaning that

June 2016 Page 11

JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC

Callable Range Accrual Securities due June 30, 2031

it decreases to be less than the index reference level) during the term of the securities will negatively affect your return on the securities and will not be offset or mitigated by a positive performance of the other. Accordingly, your investment is subject to the performance risk of each of the ICE Swap rates and the S&P 500 ® Index.

§ The interest rate on the securities may be below the rate otherwise payable on similar variable rate securities issued by us. The value of the securities will depend on the interest rate on the securities, which will be affected by the spread and the level of the S&P 500 ® Index. If on any accrual determination date (i) the level of the S&P 500 ® Index is less than the index reference level or (ii) the spread is less than 0.00%, the interest rate on the securities may be less than returns on similar variable rate securities issued by us that are not linked to the ICE Swap rates and the S&P 500 ® Index, or that are linked to only one of the ICE Swap rates or the S&P 500 ® Index. We have no control over any fluctuations in the ICE Swap rates or the S&P 500 ® Index.
§ The method of determining whether interest accrues on an accrual determination date may not directly correlate to the actual value of the index or the actual spread. The determination of the interest rate per annum payable for any interest payment period will be based on the actual number of days in that interest payment period on which (i) the index closing value of the index is greater than or equal to the index reference level and (ii) the spread is greater than or equal to 0.00%, each as determined on each accrual determination date. However, we will use the same index closing value of the S&P 500 ® Index and the same spread for the period commencing on the sixth business day prior to but excluding each applicable interest payment date. The index closing value used will be the index closing value of the S&P 500 ® Index on the first trading day immediately preceding the sixth business day prior to but excluding each applicable interest payment date, regardless of what the actual closing level of the S&P 500 ® Index is for the calendar days in that period or whether the index closing value would have been greater than or equal to the index reference level during such accrual determination dates if actually tested in such period. Likewise, the spread used will be the spread on the first trading day immediately preceding the sixth business day prior to but excluding each applicable interest payment date, regardless of what the actual spread is for the calendar days in that period or whether the spread would have been greater than or equal to 0.00% during such accrual determination dates if actually tested in such period. As a result, the determination as to whether (i) the index closing value is greater than or equal to the index reference level or (ii) the spread is greater than or equal to 0.00% for any interest payment period may not directly correlate to the actual index closing values of the S&P 500 ® Index or the spread, which will in turn affect the interest rate calculation.
§ Your return on the securities is limited to the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest regardless of any appreciation in the value of the index. If the securities are not called and the final index value is greater than or equal to the trigger level, for each $1,000 principal amount security, you will receive $1,000 at maturity plus any accrued and unpaid interest, regardless of any appreciation in the value of the index, which may be significant. In addition, if the securities are called, for each $1,000 principal amount security, you will receive $1,000 plus any accrued and unpaid interest, regardless of the appreciation in the value of the index, which may be significant. Accordingly, the return on the securities may be significantly less than the return on a direct investment in the index during the term of the securities.
§ We may call your securities prior to their scheduled maturity date. We may choose to call the securities early or choose not to call the securities early on any redemption date in our sole discretion. If the securities are called early, you will receive the principal amount of your securities plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. The aggregate amount that you will receive through and including the redemption date may be less than the aggregate amount that you would have received had the securities not been called early. If we call the securities early, your overall return may be less than the yield which the securities would have earned if you held your securities to maturity and you may not be able to reinvest your funds at the same rate as the original securities. We may choose to call the securities early, for example, if U.S. interest rates decrease significantly or if volatility of U.S. interest rates decreases significantly. In other words, we will be more likely to redeem the securities when the securities are paying an above-market interest rate. If the securities are redeemed prior to maturity, you

June 2016 Page 12

JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC

Callable Range Accrual Securities due June 30, 2031

will receive no more quarterly interest payments, may be forced to invest in a lower interest rate environment and may not be able to reinvest at comparable terms or returns.

On the other hand, we will be less likely to exercise our redemption right when the index closing value of the underlying index is below the index reference level or when the spread is negative, and/or when the final index value is expected to be below the trigger level, such that you will receive reduced interest payments, or no quarterly interest payments, and/or that you will suffer a significant loss on your initial investment in the securities at maturity. Therefore, if we do not exercise our redemption right, it is more likely that you will receive reduced interest payments, or no quarterly interest payments, and suffer a significant loss at maturity.

§ The interest rate on the securities for an interest payment period is subject to the maximum interest rate. The interest rate for an interest payment period is variable; however, it will never exceed the interest factor applicable to such interest payment period set forth on the front cover of this pricing supplement, regardless of the performance of the index or ICE Swap rates. In addition, although the interest factor increases over the term of the securities, you will not benefit from such increase if the securities are called early.
§ The interest rate on the securities is based, in part, on the spread, which may result in application of the minimum interest rate of 0.00%. The spread is calculated as (a) 30ICE minus (b) 2ICE. The ICE Swap rates may be influenced by a number of factors, including (but not limited to) monetary policies, fiscal policies, inflation, general economic conditions and public expectations with respect to such factors. The effect that any single factor may have on the ICE Swap rates may be partially offset by other factors. We cannot predict the factors that may cause the ICE Swap rates, and consequently the spread, to increase or decrease. A negative spread (indicating that the 30ICE is less than the 2ICE) on an accrual determination date will cause the interest rate for the corresponding interest payment period to decline below the applicable interest factor. The amount of interest you accrue on the securities in any interest payment period may decrease even if either or both of the ICE Swap rates increase. Under these circumstances, particularly if short term interest rates rise significantly relative to long term interest rates, the interest rate during any interest payment period may adversely affected and may be equal to 0.00% per annum, and you will not be compensated for any loss in value due to inflation and other factors relating to the value of money over time during such period.
§ Longer dated securities may be more risky than shorted dated securities. By purchasing a security with a longer tenor, you are more exposed to fluctuations in interest rates than if you purchased a security with a shorter tenor. Specifically, you may be negatively affected if certain interest rate scenarios occur, or if the index closing value of the S&P 500 ® Index is less than the index reference level or the spread is less than 0.00% for an entire interest payment period. The applicable discount rate, which is the prevailing rate in the market for securities of the same tenor, will likely be higher for securities with longer tenors than if you had purchased a security with a shorter tenor. Therefore, assuming that short term rates rise, the market value of a longer dated security will be lower than the market value of a comparable short term security with similar terms.
§ Market disruption events may adversely affect the rate at which the securities accrue interest. The rate at which the securities accrue interest for an interest payment period will be based on the index closing value of the S&P 500 ® Index and the spread, each as determined on the applicable accrual determination date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the accompanying product supplement, if a market disruption event occurs or is continuing on any accrual determination date, the index closing value on the immediately preceding accrual determination date for which no market disruption event occurs or is continuing will be the index closing value for such disrupted accrual determination date (and will also be the index closing value for the originally scheduled accrual determination date). Because your securities will not accrue interest unless the index closing value is less greater than or equal to the index reference level, if a market disruption event continues for an extended period of time, the amount of interest that accrues on the securities may be severely limited.
§ The historical performance of 30ICE, 2IEC and the Index are not an indication of their future performance. The historical performance of 30ICE, 2ICE and the index should not be taken as indications of their future performance during the term of the securities. Changes in the levels of 30ICE, 2ICE and the

June 2016 Page 13

JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC

Callable Range Accrual Securities due June 30, 2031

index will affect the trading price of the securities, but it is impossible to predict whether such levels will rise or fall. There can be no assurance that the spread will be positive and the index closing value will be equal to or greater than the index reference level on any day during the term of the securities. In addition, there can be no assurance that the index closing value of the index on the final determination date will be greater than or equal to the trigger level. Furthermore, the historical performance of each of the spread and the index does not reflect the return the securities would have yielded, because each does not take into account the other’s performance .

§ The securities are subject to the credit risks of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co . T he securities are subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., and our credit ratings and credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the securities. Investors are dependent on JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s ability to pay all amounts due on the securities. Any actual or potential change in our creditworthiness or credit spreads, as determined by the market for taking our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s credit risk, is likely to adversely affect the value of the securities.  If we or JPMorgan Chase & Co. were to default on our payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the securities and you could lose your entire investment.
§ As a finance subsidiary, JPMorgan Financial has no independent operations and has limited assets. As a finance subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co., we have no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of our securities. Aside from the initial capital contribution from JPMorgan Chase & Co., substantially all our assets relate to obligations of our affiliates to make payments under loans made by us or other intercompany agreements. As a result, we are dependent upon payments from our affiliates to meet our obligations under the securities. If these affiliates do not make payments to us and we fail to make payments on the securities, you may have to seek payment under the related guarantee by JPMorgan Chase & Co., and that guarantee will rank pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co.
§ 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 as an agent of the offering of the securities, hedging our obligations under the securities and making the assumptions used to determine the pricing of the securities and the estimated value of the securities when the terms of the securities are set, which we refer to as the 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 as well as modeling and structuring the economic terms of the securities, 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 the Notes Generally” in the accompanying product supplement for additional information about these risks.

In addition, JPMorgan Chase & Co. is currently one of the companies that make up the S&P 500 ® Index , but JPMorgan Chase & Co. will not have any obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the securities in taking any corporate action that might affect the level of the S&P 500 ® Index and the securities .

§ Adjustments to the Index could adversely affect the value of the securities. The underlying index publisher for the index can add, delete or substitute the stocks underlying such index, and can make other methodological changes required by certain events relating to the underlying stocks, such as stock dividends, stock splits, spin-offs, rights offerings and extraordinary dividends, that could change the value of such index. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of the securities. The underlying index publisher may also discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of such index at any time. In these circumstances, the calculation agent will have the sole discretion to substitute a successor index that is comparable to the discontinued index. The calculation agent could have an economic interest that is different than that of investors in the securities insofar as, for example, the calculation agent is permitted to consider indices that are calculated and published by the calculation agent or any of its affiliates. If the calculation agent determines that there is no appropriate successor index, on any day on which the index closing value of an index is to be determined, the index closing value for such day will be based on the

June 2016 Page 14

JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC

Callable Range Accrual Securities due June 30, 2031

stocks underlying the discontinued index at the time of such discontinuance, without rebalancing or substitution, computed by the calculation agent, in accordance with the formula for calculating the index closing value for the index last in effect prior to the discontinuance of the index.

§ The estimated value of the securities is lower than the original issue price (price to public) of the securities. The estimated value of the securities is only an estimate determined by reference to several factors. The original issue price of the securities exceeds the estimated value of the securities because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the securities are included in the original issue price of the securities. These costs include the selling commissions, the structuring fee, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the securities and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the securities. See “Additional Information about the Securities — The estimated value of the notes” in this document.
§ The estimated value does not represent future values of the securities and may differ from others’ estimates. This estimated value is based on market conditions and other relevant factors existing at the time of pricing and assumptions about market parameters, which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors. Different pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations for securities that are greater than or less than the 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 “Additional Information About the Securities –The Estimated Value of the Securities” in this document.
§ The estimated value of the securities is derived by reference to an internal funding rate . The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the securities is based on, among other things, our and our affiliates’ view of the funding value of the securities as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the securities in comparison to those costs for the conventional fixed-rate debt of JPMorgan Chase & Co. The use of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate would have an adverse effect on the terms of the securities and any secondary market prices of the securities. See “Additional Information About the Securities —The Estimated Value of the Securities” in this document.
§ The value of the securities as published (and which may be reflected on customer account statements) may be higher than the then-current estimated value of the securities for a limited time period . We generally expect that some of the costs included in the 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 projected hedging profits, if any, and, in some circumstances, estimated hedging costs and our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances. See “Additional Information About the Securities — Secondary Market Prices of the Securities” in this document for additional information relating to this initial period. Accordingly, the estimated value of your securities during this initial period may be lower than the value of the securities as published by JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer account statements).
§ Secondary market prices of the securities will likely be lower than the issue price of the securities. Any secondary market prices of the securities will likely be lower than the issue price of the securities because, among other things, secondary market prices take into account our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances and, also, because secondary market prices (a) exclude selling commissions and (b) may exclude projected hedging profits, if any, and estimated hedging costs that are included in the 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 two immediately following risk factors 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, and estimated hedging costs, including but not limited to:
o the performance of the ICE Swap rates;
o the performance of the index;
o any actual or potential change in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness or credit spreads;
o customary bid-ask spreads for similarly sized trades;
o our internal secondary market funding rates for structured issuances;
o the time to maturity of the securities;
o dividend rates on the equity securities underlying the index;
o the expected positive or negative correlation between the ICE Swap rates and the S&P 500 ® Index or the expected absence of such correlation;
o interest and yield rates in the market generally, as well as the volatility of those rates;
o the likelihood, or expectation, that the securities will be redeemed by us, based on prevailing market interest rates or otherwise; and
o a variety of other economic, financial, political, regulatory and judicial events.

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

§ JPMS and its affiliates may have published research, expressed opinions or provided recommendations that are inconsistent with investing in or holding the securities, and may do so in the future. Any such research, opinions or recommendations could affect the market value of the securities. JPMS and its affiliates publish research from time to time on financial markets and other matters that may influence the value of the securities, or express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the securities. JPMS and its affiliates may have published research or other opinions that call into question the investment view implicit in an investment in the securities. Any research, opinions or recommendations expressed by JPMS or its affiliates may not be consistent with each other and may be modified from time to time without notice. Investors should undertake their own independent investigation of the merits of investing in the securities.
§ Secondary market prices of the securities are sensitive to both interest rates and the performance of the index. If interest rates rise generally, the secondary market prices of the securities will be adversely impacted because of the relatively long term of the securities and the increased probability that that the interest rate for the securities will be less than such rates.  Additionally, if the index closing value declines, even if the index closing value has not declined below the trigger level, the secondary market prices of the securities will also be adversely impacted because of the increased probability that the index closing value may decline below the index reference level and may be less than the index reference level over the remaining term of the securities and the increased probability that you may lose some or all of your principal at maturity.  If both interest rates rise and the index closing value declines, the secondary market prices of the securities may decline more rapidly than those of other securities that are linked to only the ICE Swap rates or the index, or than if the amount payable at maturity were not linked to the performance of the Index relative to the trigger level.
§ Reinvestment risk. If we redeem the securities, the term of the securities may be reduced and you will not receive interest payments after the applicable redemption date. 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 redeemed prior to the maturity date.

June 2016 Page 16

§ Variable rate securities differ from fixed rate securities. The variable interest rate for all interest payment periods will be determined in part based on the spread and the index closing value of the S&P 500 ® Index and may be less than returns otherwise payable on debt securities issued by us with similar maturities. You should consider, among other things, the overall potential annual percentage rate of interest to maturity of the securities as compared to other investment alternatives.
§ Market factors may influence whether we exercise our right to redeem the securities prior to their scheduled maturity. We have the right to redeem the securities prior to the maturity date, in whole but not in part, on the specified redemption dates. It is more likely that we will redeem the securities prior to the maturity date if the index closing value of the S&P 500 ® Index is greater than or equal to the index reference level and the spread is greater than 0.00% on the applicable accrual determination dates. If the securities are called prior to the maturity date, you may be unable to invest in securities with similar risk and yield as the securities. Your ability to realize a higher than market yield on the securities is limited by our right to redeem the securities prior to their scheduled maturity, which may adversely affect the value of the securities in the secondary market, if any.

On the other hand, we are less likely to redeem the securities when the value of the S&P 500 ® Index is less than the index reference level or when the spread is less than or equal to 0.00%. Therefore, if we do not redeem the securities, it is more likely that you will not receive interest payments and/or that you will suffer a substantial loss at maturity.

§ The spread will be affected by a number of factors. The amount of interest, if any, payable on the securities will depend on the ICE Swap rates and the spread on the applicable accrual determination dates. A number of factors can affect the spread by causing changes in the relative values of the ICE Swap rates including, but not limited to:

o     changes in, or perceptions about, future ICE Swap rates;

o     general economic conditions;

o     prevailing interest rates; and

o     policies of the Federal Reserve Board regarding interest rates.

These and other factors may have a negative impact on the payment of interest on the securities and on the value of the securities in the secondary market.

§ The ICE Swap rates may be volatile. The ICE Swap rates are subject to volatility due to a variety of factors affecting interest rates generally, including but not limited to:

o     sentiment regarding underlying strength in the U.S. and global economies;

o     expectation regarding the level of price inflation;

o     sentiment regarding credit quality in U.S. and global credit markets;

o     central bank policy regarding interest rates; and

o     performance of capital markets.

Increases or decreases in the ICE Swap rates could result in the corresponding spread decreasing or being negative and thus in the reduction of interest, if any, payable 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.

 

Additional Information About the Securities

The Estimated Value of the Securities

The estimated value of the securities set forth on the cover of this document is equal to the sum of the values of the following hypothetical components: (1) a fixed-income debt component with the same maturity as the securities, valued using the internal funding rate for structured debt described below, and (2) the derivative or

June 2016 Page 17

JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC

Callable Range Accrual Securities due June 30, 2031

derivatives underlying the economic terms of the securities. The 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 the estimated value is based on, among other things, our and our affiliates’ view of the funding value of the securities as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the securities in comparison to those costs for the conventional fixed-rate debt of JPMorgan Chase & Co. For additional information, see “Risk Factors —The estimated value is derived by reference to an internal funding rate” in this document. The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the securities is derived from internal pricing models of our affiliates. These models are dependent on inputs such as the traded market prices of comparable derivative instruments and on various other inputs, some of which are market-observable, and which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors, as well as assumptions about future market events and/or environments. Accordingly, the estimated value of the securities 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 “Risk Factors — The estimated value of the securities does not represent future values of the securities and may differ from others’ estimates” in this document.

The estimated value of the securities is lower than the issue price of the securities because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the securities are included in the issue price of the securities. 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 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 “Risk Factors —The estimated value of the securities is lower than the issue price (price to public) of the securities” in this document.

Secondary Market Prices of the Securities

For information about factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the securities, see “Risk Factors — 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 issue price of the securities will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your securities by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period that is intended to be the shorter of six months and one-half of the stated term of the securities. The length of any such initial period reflects the structure of the securities, whether our affiliates expect to earn a profit in connection with our hedging activities, the estimated costs of hedging the securities and when these costs are incurred, as determined by our affiliates. See “Risk Factors — The value of the securities as published may be higher than the then-current estimated value of the securities for a limited time period” in this document.

Supplemental Plan of Distribution

Subject to regulatory constraints, JPMS intends to use its reasonable efforts to offer to purchase the securities in the secondary market, but is not required to do so.

We or our affiliate 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 “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” on page PS-37 in the accompanying product supplement.

Tax Considerations

You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 1-I. Based on the advice of Sidley Austin llp , our special tax counsel, and on current market conditions, in determining our reporting responsibilities we intend to treat the securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes as income-bearing pre-paid derivative contracts. By purchasing the securities, you agree (in the absence of an administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary) to follow this treatment. However, there are other reasonable treatments that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or a court may adopt, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the securities could be significantly and adversely affected. In addition, in 2007, the Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. While it is not clear whether the securities would be viewed as similar to

the typical prepaid forward contract described in the notice, it is possible that 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. The notice focuses on a number of issues, the most relevant of which for holders of the securities are the character of income or loss and the degree, if any, to which income realized by Non-U.S. Holders should be subject to withholding tax.

Assuming that the treatment of the securities as income-bearing pre-paid derivative contracts is respected, interest payments that you receive should be included in ordinary income at the time you receive the payments or when the payments accrue, in accordance with your regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Under this treatment, any gain or loss recognized upon the sale, exchange or maturity of the securities should be treated as capital gain or loss. Any such capital gain or loss should be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if you held the securities for more than one year.

Non-U.S. Holders should note that because the United States federal income tax treatment (including the applicability of withholding) of the interest payments on the securities is uncertain, and although the Company believes it is reasonable to take a position that the interest payments are not subject to U.S. withholding tax (at least if the applicable IRS Form W-8 is provided), a withholding agent could possibly nonetheless withhold on these payments (generally at a rate of 30%, subject to the possible reduction or elimination 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). In the event of any withholding, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so withheld. If you are a Non-U.S. Holder, 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.

Non-U.S. Holders should also note that final Treasury regulations were released on legislation that imposes a withholding tax of 30% on payments to certain foreign entities unless information reporting and diligence requirements are met, as described in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences-Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders” in the accompanying product supplement. Pursuant to the final regulations, such withholding tax will generally apply to obligations that are issued on or after July 1, 2014; therefore, the securities will generally be subject to this withholding tax. The withholding tax described above will not apply to payments of gross proceeds from the sale, exchange or other disposition of the securities made before January 1, 2019.

Both U.S. and Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the 2007 notice. Purchasers who are not initial purchasers of securities at the issue price should also consult their tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative treatments.

Subject to certain assumptions and representations received from us, the discussion in this section entitled “Tax Considerations”, when read in combination with the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement, constitutes the full opinion of Sidley Austin LLP regarding the material U.S. federal income tax treatment of owning and disposing of the securities.
