Contingent Income Callable Securities due August 2, 2018

Based on the Performance of an Equally Weighted Basket of Four Underlying Stocks
Principal at Risk Securities

Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Contingent Income Callable Securities do not guarantee the payment of interest or the repayment of principal. Instead, the securities offer the opportunity for investors to earn a contingent quarterly payment equal to at least 2.25% of the stated principal amount with respect to each quarterly monitoring period during which the basket closing value on each day is greater than or equal to 70% of the initial basket value, which we refer to as the downside threshold level. However, if, on any day during a quarterly monitoring period, the basket closing value is less than the downside threshold level, you will not receive any contingent quarterly payment for the related quarterly monitoring period. In addition, we will have the right to redeem the securities at our discretion on any contingent payment date (other than the final contingent payment date) for an early redemption payment equal to the stated principal amount plus any contingent quarterly payment otherwise due with respect to the related quarterly monitoring period. Any early redemption of the securities will be at our discretion and will not automatically occur based on the performance of the basket. If the securities have not been redeemed prior to maturity and the final basket value is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level, the payment at maturity due on the securities will be the stated principal amount and, if the basket closing value on each day during the final quarterly monitoring period is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level, a contingent quarterly payment with respect to the final quarterly monitoring period. If, however, the securities have not been redeemed prior to maturity and the final basket value is less than the downside threshold level, you will be exposed to the decline in the basket, as compared to the initial basket value, on a 1-to-1 basis and will receive a cash payment at maturity that is less than 70% of the stated principal amount of the securities and could be zero. The securities are for investors who are willing to risk their principal and seek an opportunity to earn interest at a potentially above-market rate in exchange for the risk of receiving few or no contingent quarterly payments and also the risk of receiving a cash payment at maturity that is significantly less than the stated principal amount of the securities and could be zero.  Accordingly, investors could lose their entire initial investment in the securities . Investors will not participate in any appreciation of the basket. The securities are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, which we refer to as JPMorgan Financial, the payment on which is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., issued as part of JPMorgan Financial’s Medium-Term Notes, Series A, program.  Any payment on the securities is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial, as issuer of the securities, and the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co., as guarantor of the securities.

Investment Summary

The Contingent Income Callable Securities due August 2, 2018 Based on the Performance of an Equally Weighted Basket of Four Underlying Stocks, which we refer to as the securities, do not provide for the regular payment of interest. Instead, the securities provide an opportunity for investors to earn a contingent quarterly payment, which is an amount equal to at least $22.50 (at least 2.25% of the stated principal amount) per security, with respect to each quarterly monitoring period during which the basket closing value on each day is greater than or equal to 70% of the initial basket value, which we refer to as a downside threshold level. The actual contingent quarterly payment will be provided in the pricing supplement. The contingent quarterly payment, if any, will be payable quarterly on the relevant contingent payment date, which is the third business day after the determination date on which the related quarterly monitoring period ends or, in the case of the contingent quarterly payment, if any, with respect to the final quarterly monitoring period, the maturity date. However, if the basket closing value is less than the downside threshold level on any day during a quarterly monitoring period, investors will receive no contingent quarterly payment for that quarterly monitoring period. We refer to these payments as contingent, because there is no guarantee that you will receive a payment on any contingent payment date. Even if the basket was at or above the downside threshold level on each day during some quarterly monitoring periods, the basket may fluctuate below the downside threshold level on any day during the others.

In addition, we will have the right to redeem the securities at our discretion on any contingent payment date (other than the final contingent payment date) for the early redemption payment equal to the stated principal amount plus any contingent quarterly payment otherwise due with respect to the related quarterly monitoring period. Any early redemption of the securities will be at our discretion and will not automatically occur based on the performance of the basket. If the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final basket value is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level, the payment at maturity will be the sum of the stated principal amount and, if the basket closing value on each day during the final quarterly monitoring period is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level, a contingent quarterly payment with respect to the final quarterly monitoring period. However, if the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final basket value is less than the downside threshold level, investors will be exposed to the decline in the basket, as compared to the initial basket value, on a 1-to-1 basis. Under these circumstances, the payment at maturity will be (i) the stated principal amount times (ii) the basket performance factor, which will be less than 70% of the stated principal amount of the securities and could be zero. Investors in the securities must be willing to accept the risk of losing their entire principal and also the risk of receiving few or no contingent quarterly payments over the term of the securities. In addition, investors will not participate in any appreciation of the basket.

Supplemental Terms of the Securities

For purposes of the accompanying product supplement, each underlying stock is a “Reference Stock.”

Key Investment Rationale

The securities do not provide for the regular payment of interest. Instead, the securities offer investors an opportunity to earn a contingent quarterly payment equal to at least 2.25% of the stated principal amount with respect to each quarterly monitoring period during which the basket closing value on each day is greater than or equal to 70% of the initial basket value, which we refer to as the downside threshold level. The actual contingent quarterly payment will be provided in the pricing supplement. The securities may be redeemed prior to maturity for the stated principal amount per security plus any contingent quarterly payment otherwise due with respect to the related quarterly monitoring period, and the payment at maturity will vary depending on the basket closing value on each day during the final quarterly monitoring period, including the final basket value, as follows:

Scenario 1

On any contingent payment date (other than the final contingent payment date), we elect to redeem the securities.

§        The securities will be redeemed for (i) the stated principal amount plus (ii) any contingent quarterly payment otherwise due with respect to the related quarterly monitoring period.

§        Investors will not participate in any appreciation of the basket from the initial basket value.

Any early redemption of the securities will be at our discretion and will not automatically occur based on the performance of the basket. It is more likely that we will redeem the securities when it would otherwise be advantageous for you to continue to hold the securities. As such, we will be more likely to redeem the securities when the basket closing value is at or above the downside threshold level, which would otherwise potentially result in an amount of interest payable on the securities that is greater than instruments issued by us of a comparable maturity and credit rating trading in the market. In other words, we will be more likely to redeem the securities when the securities are paying above-market interest.

If the securities are redeemed prior to maturity, you will receive no more contingent quarterly payments and may be forced to reinvest in a lower interest rate environment. Under these circumstances, you may not be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the securities at a comparable return for a similar level of risk. On the other hand, we will be less likely to exercise our redemption right when the basket closing value is below the downside threshold level, such that you will receive no contingent quarterly payments and/or that you might suffer a significant loss on your investment in the securities at maturity. Therefore, if we do not exercise our redemption right, it is more likely that you will receive few or no contingent quarterly payments and that you will suffer a significant loss on your investment at maturity.

Scenario 2

The securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, and the final basket value is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level.

§        The payment due at maturity will be (i) the stated principal amount plus (ii) if the basket closing value on each day during the final quarterly monitoring period is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level, a contingent quarterly payment with respect to the final quarterly monitoring period.

§        Investors will not participate in any appreciation of the basket from the initial basket value.

Scenario 3

The securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, and the final basket value is less than the downside threshold level.

§        The payment due at maturity will be (i) the stated principal amount times (ii) the basket performance factor.

§        Investors will lose some, and may lose all, of their principal in this scenario.

How the Securities Work

The following diagrams illustrate the potential outcomes for the securities depending on (1) the basket closing value, (2) the final basket value and (3) whether we exercise our option to redeem the securities.

Hypothetical Examples

The below examples are based on the following terms:

Stated principal amount: $1,000 per security
Initial basket value: 100.00
Downside threshold level: 70.00, which is 70% of the initial basket value
Hypothetical contingent quarterly payment: $22.50 (2.25% of the stated principal amount) per security

In Examples 1 and 2, the closing basket value fluctuates over the term of the securities and we elect to call the securities on one of the contingent payment dates (other than the final contingent payment date). In Examples 3 and 4, the securities are not redeemed prior to, and remain outstanding until, maturity. Any redemption of the securities will be at our discretion and will not automatically occur based on the performance of the basket.

Final Quarterly Monitoring Period N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A

* The early redemption payment includes any unpaid contingent quarterly payment with respect to the related quarterly monitoring period.

 

§ In Example 1 , we elect to redeem the securities on the fourth contingent payment date. As the basket closing value on at least one day during each of the first, second and third quarterly monitoring periods is less than the downside threshold level, no contingent quarterly payment was made with respect to those quarterly monitoring periods. As the basket closing value on each day during the fourth quarterly monitoring period is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level, the early redemption payment you receive on the fourth contingent payment date includes the contingent quarterly payment due with respect to that quarterly monitoring period, and the early redemption payment is calculated as follows:

stated principal amount + contingent quarterly payment = $1,000.00 + $22.50 = $1,022.50

In this example, the optional early redemption feature limits the term of your investment to approximately 12 months and you may not be able to reinvest at comparable terms or returns. If the securities are redeemed early, you will stop receiving contingent quarterly payments. Further, although the basket has appreciated by 25% from its initial basket value on the fourth determination date, you receive only $1,022.50 per security upon redemption and do not benefit from this appreciation.

§ In Example 2 , we elect to redeem the securities on the 6 th contingent payment date. As the basket closing value on each day during the first, third and fifth quarterly monitoring periods is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level, you receive the contingent quarterly payment of $22.50 with respect to each of those quarterly monitoring periods. However, because the basket closing value is below the downside threshold level on at least one day during the 6 th quarterly monitoring period, the early redemption payment you receive on the 6 th contingent payment date does not include any contingent quarterly payment with respect to that quarterly monitoring period, and the early redemption payment is equal to the stated principal amount of $1,000.

In this example, the optional early redemption feature limits the term of your investment to approximately 18 months and you may not be able to reinvest at comparable terms or returns. If the securities are redeemed early, you will stop receiving contingent quarterly payments. The total payments on the securities will amount to $1,067.50 per security.

Final Quarterly Monitoring Period 45.00 55.00 $0 N/A 70.00 70.00 $22.50 N/A
Payment at Maturity $550.00 $1,022.50

 

Examples 3 and 4 illustrate the payment at maturity per security based on the final basket value.

In Example 3 , the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity and the basket closing value is below the downside threshold level on at least one during each quarterly monitoring period. As a result, you do not receive any contingent quarterly payment during the term of the securities and because the final basket value is less than the downside threshold level, at maturity, you are fully exposed to the decline in the basket closing value. As the final basket value is less than the downside threshold level, you receive at maturity (i) the stated principal amount times (ii) the basket performance factor, calculated as follows:

$1,000.00 × 55.00 / 100.00 = $550.00

In this example, the amount you receive at maturity is significantly less than the stated principal amount.

In Example 4 , the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity and the basket closing value decreases to a final basket value of 70.00. As the basket closing value on each day during the first fifth and sixth quarterly monitoring periods is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level, you receive the contingent quarterly payment of $22.50 with respect to each of those quarterly monitoring periods. Although the final basket value is less than the initial basket value, because the final basket value is still not less than the downside threshold level, at maturity you will receive the stated principal amount and, because the basket closing value on each day during the final quarterly monitoring period is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level, the contingent quarterly payment with respect to the final quarterly monitoring period. Your payment at maturity is $1,022.50.

In this example, although the final basket value represents a 30% decline from the initial basket value, you receive the stated principal amount at maturity. In addition, because the basket has not declined below the downside threshold level on any day during the final quarterly monitoring period, you also receive at maturity the contingent quarterly payment with respect to the final quarterly monitoring period. The total payments on the securities will amount to $1,090.00 per security.

 

The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the securities shown above apply only if you hold the securities for their entire term or until early redemption. 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.

Risk Factors

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” of the accompanying product supplement. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers in connection with your investment in the securities.

§ The securities do not guarantee the return of any principal and your investment in the securities may result in a loss. The terms of the securities differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that the securities do not guarantee the return of any of the principal amount at maturity. Instead, if the securities have not been redeemed prior to maturity and if the final basket value is less than the downside threshold level, you will be exposed to the decline in the basket closing value, as compared to the initial basket value, on a 1-to-1 basis. Under these circumstances, you will receive for each security that you hold at maturity a cash payment equal to the stated principal amount times the basket performance factor. In this case, your payment at maturity will be less than 70% of the stated principal amount and could be zero.
§ You will not receive any contingent quarterly payment for any quarterly monitoring period if the basket closing value is less than the downside threshold level on any day during that quarterly monitoring period. The terms of the securities differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that the securities do not guarantee the payment of regular interest. Instead, a contingent quarterly payment will be made with respect to a quarterly monitoring period only if the basket closing value on each day during the quarterly monitoring period is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level. If the basket closing value is below the downside threshold level on any day during a quarterly monitoring period, you will not receive a contingent quarterly payment for that quarterly monitoring period. It is possible that the basket closing value could be below the downside threshold level on at least one day during most or all of the quarterly monitoring periods so that you will receive few or no contingent quarterly payments. If you do not earn sufficient contingent quarterly payments over the term of the securities, the overall return on the securities may be less than the amount that would be paid on one of our conventional debt securities of comparable maturity .
§ The contingent quarterly payment is based on the basket closing value during the quarterly monitoring periods . Whether the contingent quarterly payment will be made with respect to a quarterly monitoring period will be based on the basket closing value on each day during that quarterly monitoring period. As a result, you will not know whether you will receive the contingent quarterly payment until the end of the related quarterly monitoring period. Moreover, because the contingent quarterly payment is based on the basket closing value on each day during that quarterly monitoring period, if the basket closing value on any day during that quarterly monitoring period is below the downside threshold level, you will not receive any contingent quarterly payment with respect to that quarterly monitoring period, even if the basket closing value was higher on other days during that quarterly monitoring period.
§ The securities are subject to the credit risks of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., and any actual or anticipated changes to our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s credit ratings or credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the securities. Investors are dependent on our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s ability to pay all amounts due on the securities. Any actual or anticipated decline in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s credit ratings or increase in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s credit spreads determined by the market for taking that credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the securities. If we and 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 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 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.
§ Investors will not participate in any appreciation in the basket. Investors will not participate in any appreciation in the basket from the initial basket value, and the return on the securities will be limited to the contingent quarterly payment that is paid with respect to each quarterly monitoring period during which the basket closing value on each day is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level, if any.
§ Early redemption risk. The term of your investment in the securities may be limited to as short as approximately three months by the optional early redemption feature of the securities. Any early redemption of the securities will be at our discretion and will not automatically occur based on the performance of the basket. It is more likely that we will redeem the securities when it would otherwise be advantageous for you to continue to hold the securities. As such, we will be more likely to redeem the securities when the basket closing value is at or above the downside threshold level, which would otherwise potentially result in an amount

of interest payable on the securities that is greater than instruments issued by us of a comparable maturity and credit rating trading in the market. In other words, we will be more likely to redeem the securities when the securities are paying above-market interest.

If the securities are redeemed prior to maturity, you will receive no more contingent quarterly payments and may be forced to reinvest in a lower interest rate environment. Under these circumstances, you may not be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the securities at a comparable return for a similar level of risk. On the other hand, we will be less likely to exercise our redemption right when the basket closing value is below the downside threshold level, such that you will receive no contingent quarterly payments and/or that you might suffer a significant loss on your investment in the securities at maturity. Therefore, if we do not exercise our redemption right, it is more likely that you will receive few or no contingent quarterly payments and that you will suffer a significant loss on your investment at maturity.

§ Economic interests of the issuer, the guarantor, the calculation agent, the agent of the offering of the securities and other affiliates of the issuer may be different from those of investors. 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, which we refer to as the estimated value of the securities. In performing these duties, our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s 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. The calculation agent will determine the downside threshold level and the final basket value and whether the basket closing value on any day during any quarterly monitoring period or the final determination date is below the downside threshold level. Determinations made by the calculation agent, including with respect to the occurrence or non-occurrence of market disruption events, may affect the payment to you at maturity or upon an early redemption.

In addition, our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s business activities, including hedging and trading activities, could cause our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s economic interests to be adverse to yours and could adversely affect any payment on the 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 for additional information about these risks.

§ Correlation (or lack of correlation) of performances among the underlying stocks may reduce the performance of the basket, and changes in the prices of the underlying stocks may offset each other . The securities are linked to an equally weighted basket consisting of the underlying stocks. Movements and performances of the underlying stocks may or may not be correlated with each other. At a time when the price of one or more of the underlying stocks increases, the prices of the other underlying stocks may not increase as much or may decline. Therefore, in calculating the basket closing value on any day, increases in the price of one or more of the underlying stocks may be moderated, or more than offset, by the lesser increases or declines in the prices of the other underlying stocks. High correlation of movements in the prices of the underlying stocks during periods of negative returns could have an adverse effect on your return on your investment. There can be no assurance that the basket closing value will be greater than or equal to the downside threshold level on any day during any quarterly monitoring period.
§ The estimated value of the securities will be 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 will exceed 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 securities” in this document.
§ The estimated value of the securities does not represent future values of the securities and may differ from others’ estimates. The estimated value of the securities is determined by reference to internal pricing models of our affiliates. This estimated value of the securities 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 the securities that are greater than or less than the estimated value of the securities. 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 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 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 may 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 by JPMS (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 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, the structuring fee, 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 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 internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances and, also, because secondary market prices (a) exclude selling commissions and the structuring fee 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 “— Secondary trading may be limited” 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, structuring fee, projected hedging profits, if any, estimated hedging costs and the basket closing value, including:
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 debt issuances;
o the actual and expected volatility in the prices of the underlying stocks;
o the time to maturity of the securities;
o whether the basket closing value has been, or is expected to be, less than the downside threshold level on any day during any quarterly monitoring period;
o whether we are expected to exercise our right to redeem the securities early;
o the dividend rates on the underlying stocks;
o the actual and expected positive or negative correlation among the underlying stocks, or the actual or expected absence of any such correlation;
o interest and yield rates in the market generally;
o the occurrence of certain events affecting the issuer of an underlying stock that may or may not require an adjustment to the stock adjustment factor for that underlying stock, including a merger or acquisition; 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.

§ Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the basket or the underlying stocks. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the basket or any underlying stock. Investors in the securities will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the underlying stocks.
§ No affiliation with the issuers of underlying stocks. The issuers of the underlying stocks are not an affiliate of ours, are not involved with this offering in any way, and have no obligation to consider your interests in taking any corporate actions that might

July 2016

JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC

Contingent Income Callable Securities due August 2, 2018

Based on the Performance of an Equally Weighted Basket of Four Underlying Stocks
Principal at Risk Securities

affect the value of the securities. We have not made any due diligence inquiry with respect to the issuers of the underlying stocks in connection with this offering.

§ We may engage in business with or involving the issuers of the underlying stocks without regard to your interests. We or our affiliates may presently or from time to time engage in business with the issuers of the underlying stocks without regard to your interests and thus may acquire non-public information about the issuers of the underlying stocks. Neither we nor any of our affiliates undertakes to disclose any such information to you. In addition, we or our affiliates from time to time have published and in the future may publish research reports with respect to the issuers of the underlying stocks, which may or may not recommend that investors buy or hold the underlying stocks.
§ The anti-dilution protection for the underlying stocks is limited and may be discretionary. The calculation agent will make adjustments to the stock adjustment factor for a underlying stock and other adjustments for certain corporate events affecting an underlying stock. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment in response to all events that could affect an underlying stock. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to make an adjustment, the value of the securities may be materially and adversely affected. You should also be aware that the calculation agent may make adjustments in response to events that are not described in the accompanying product supplement to account for any diluting or concentrative effect, but the calculation agent is under no obligation to do so or to consider your interests as a holder of the securities in making these determinations.
§ The underlying stocks are concentrated in the banking industry . Each of the underlying stocks has been issued by a company whose business is associated with the banking industry.  Because the value of the securities is determined by the performance of the Basket, an investment in these securities will be concentrated in this industry.  As a result, the value of the securities may be subject to greater volatility and be more adversely affected by a single positive or negative economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting this industry than a different investment linked to securities of a more broadly diversified group of issuers.
§ Hedging and trading activities by the issuer and its affiliates could potentially affect the value of the securities . The hedging or trading activities of the issuer’s affiliates and of any other hedging counterparty with respect to the securities on or prior to the pricing date and prior to maturity could adversely affect the basket closing value. Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the pricing date could potentially affect the initial share price of an underlying stock and, therefore, could potentially increase the value that the closing price of an underlying stock must reach on each day during any quarterly monitoring period in order for you to earn a contingent quarterly payment or, if the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, in order for you to avoid being exposed to the negative price performance of the basket at maturity. Additionally, these hedging or trading activities during the term of the securities could potentially affect the basket closing value on any day during any quarterly monitoring period or on the final determination date and, accordingly, whether investors will receive one or more contingent quarterly payments and, if the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, the payment to you at maturity. It is possible that these hedging or trading activities could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the securities declines.
§ Secondary trading may be limited. The securities will not be listed on a securities exchange. There may be little or no secondary market for the securities. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the securities easily. JPMS may act as a market maker for the securities, but is not required to do so. Because we do not expect that other market makers will participate significantly in the 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. If at any time JPMS or another agent does not act as a market maker, it is likely that there would be little or no secondary market for the securities.
§ The final terms and valuation of the securities will be provided in the pricing supplement. The final terms of the securities will be provided in the pricing supplement. In particular, each of the estimated value of the securities and the contingent quarterly payment will be provided in the pricing supplement and each may be as low as the applicable minimum set forth on the cover of this document. Accordingly, you should consider your potential investment in the securities based on the minimums for the estimated value of the securities and the contingent quarterly payment.
§ The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities are uncertain. There is no direct legal authority as to the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of the securities, and we do not intend to request a ruling from the IRS. The IRS might not accept, and a court might not uphold, the treatment of the securities as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons, as described in “Additional Information about the Securities — Additional Provisions — Tax considerations” in this document and in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement. If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment for the securities, the timing and character of any income or loss on the securities could be materially affected. Although the U.S. federal income tax treatment of contingent quarterly payments (including any contingent quarterly payments paid in connection with an early redemption or at maturity) is uncertain, in determining our reporting responsibilities we intend (in the absence of an administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary) to treat any contingent quarterly payments as ordinary income. In addition, in 2007 Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require investors in these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments and the relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments

are linked. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect. You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement and consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by this notice.

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

Basket Overview

The basket is an equally weighted basket composed of four underlying stocks. For additional information about the underlying stocks, see “Underlying Stocks Overview” below.

The following graph is calculated to show the performance of the basket during the period from January 3, 2011 through July 26, 2016, assuming the underlying stocks are weighted as set out above such that the initial basket value was 100 on January 3, 2011 and illustrates the effect of the offset and/or correlation among the underlying stocks during that period. You cannot predict the future performance of any underlying stock or of the basket as a whole, or whether increases in the price of any underlying stock will be offset by decreases in the prices of the other underlying stocks. The historical value performance of the basket and the degree of correlation between the value trends of the underlying stocks (or lack thereof) should not be taken as an indication of its future performance.

 

Historical Basket Performance*

January 3, 2011 through July 26, 2016

* The dotted line in the graph indicates the hypothetical downside threshold level, equal to 70% of the initial basket value.

Additional Information About the Securities

Please read this information in conjunction with the summary terms on the front cover of this document.

 

Additional Provisions  
Record date: The record date for each contingent payment date is the date one business day prior to that contingent payment date.
Postponement of maturity date: If the scheduled maturity date is not a business day, then the maturity date will be the following business day.  If the scheduled final determination date is not a trading day or if a market disruption event occurs on that day so that the final determination date is postponed and falls less than three business days prior to the scheduled maturity date, the maturity date of the securities will be postponed to the third business day following that final determination date as postponed.
Minimum ticketing size: $1,000/1 security
Trustee: Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (formerly Bankers Trust Company)
Calculation agent: JPMS
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 described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the securities. The estimated value of the securities 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 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. For additional information, see “Risk Factors — The estimated value of the securities 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 on the pricing date is 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 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 JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, 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. 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 will be lower than the original 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 document. 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 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 by JPMS (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.”
Tax considerations: You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. MS-1-I.  In determining our reporting responsibilities we intend to treat (i) the securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons and (ii) any contingent quarterly payments as ordinary income, as

described in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Notes Treated as Prepaid Forward Contracts with Associated Contingent Coupons” in the accompanying product supplement. Based on the advice of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, our special tax counsel, we believe that this is a reasonable treatment, but that there are other reasonable treatments that the IRS or a court may adopt, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the securities could be materially affected. In addition, in 2007 Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require investors in these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments and the relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by this notice.

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

Non-U.S. holders should also note that recently promulgated Treasury regulations imposing a withholding tax on certain “dividend equivalents” under certain “equity linked instruments” will not apply to the securities.

FATCA Withholding under legislation commonly referred to as “FATCA” could apply to payments with respect to the securities that are treated as U.S.-source “fixed or determinable annual or periodical” income (“FDAP Income”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (such as interest, if the securities are recharacterized, in whole or in part, as debt instruments, or contingent quarterly payments if they are otherwise treated as FDAP Income).  Under a recent IRS notice, withholding under FATCA will not apply to payments of gross proceeds (other than any amount treated as FDAP Income) of a taxable disposition, including an early redemption or redemption at maturity, of the securities.  You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of FATCA to the securities.

In the event of any withholding on the securities, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so withheld.

Supplemental use of proceeds and hedging:

The securities are offered to meet investor demand for products that reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the securities. See “How the Securities Work” and “Hypothetical Examples” in this document for an illustration of the risk-return profile of the securities and “Basket Overview” and “Underlying Stocks Overview” in this document for a description of the market exposure provided by the securities.

The original issue price of the securities is equal to the estimated value of the securities plus the selling commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers and the structuring fee, 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.

Benefit plan investor considerations: See “Benefit Plan Investor Considerations” in the accompanying product supplement.
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. JPMS, acting as agent for JPMorgan Financial, will pay all of the selling commissions it receives from us to Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. In addition, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management will receive a structuring fee as set forth on the cover of this document for each security.

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 “— Supplemental use of proceeds and hedging” above and “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying product supplement.
