Additional Terms Specific to the Notes
You may revoke your offer to purchase the notes at any time
prior to the time at which we accept such offer by notifying the applicable agent. We reserve the right to change the terms of,
or reject any offer to purchase, the notes prior to their issuance. In the event of any changes to the terms of the notes, we will
notify you and you will be asked to accept such changes in connection with your purchase. You may also choose to reject such changes
in which case we may reject your offer to purchase.
You should read this pricing supplement together with the accompanying
prospectus, as supplemented by the accompanying prospectus supplement relating to our Series E medium-term notes of which these
notes are a part, and the more detailed information contained in the accompanying product supplement. This pricing supplement,
together with the documents listed below, contains the terms of the notes and supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous oral
statements as well as any other written materials including preliminary or indicative pricing terms,
correspondence,
trade ideas, structures for implementation, sample structures, fact sheets, brochures or other educational materials of ours. You
should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying
product supplement, as the notes involve risks not associated with conventional debt securities. We urge you to consult your investment,
legal, tax, accounting and other advisors before you invest in the notes.
You may access these documents on the SEC website at www.sec.gov
as follows (or if such address has changed, by reviewing our filings for the relevant date on the SEC website):
Our Central Index Key, or CIK, on the SEC website is 19617. As
used in this pricing supplement, “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Regulatory Developments
The ultimate impact of proposed U.S. banking regulations relating
to total loss-absorbing capacity is uncertain, and could require JPMorgan Chase & Co. to issue a substantial amount of new
debt and thereby significantly increase its funding costs.
On October 30, 2015, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (the “Federal Reserve”) issued proposed rules (the “proposed TLAC rules”) that would require the
top-tier holding companies of eight U.S. global systemically important bank holding companies (“U.S. G-SIB BHCs”),
including JPMorgan Chase & Co., among other things, to maintain minimum amounts of loss-absorbing capacity in the form of long-term
debt satisfying certain eligibility criteria (“eligible LTD”), commencing January 1, 2019. The proposed TLAC rules
would disqualify from eligible LTD, among other instruments, senior debt securities that permit acceleration for reasons other
than insolvency or payment default, as well as debt securities that are not governed by U.S. law and structured notes. The currently
outstanding senior long-term debt of U.S. G-SIB BHCs, including JPMorgan Chase & Co., includes structured notes as well as
other debt that typically permits acceleration for reasons other than insolvency or payment default and, as a result, none of such
outstanding senior long-term debt or any subsequently issued senior long-term debt with similar terms (including the notes offered
by this prospectus supplement) would qualify as eligible LTD under the proposed TLAC rules. The Federal Reserve has requested comment
on whether certain currently outstanding instruments should be allowed to count as eligible LTD “despite containing features
that would be prohibited under the proposal.” The steps that the U.S. G-SIB BHCs, including JPMorgan Chase & Co., may
need to take to come into compliance with the final TLAC rules, including the amount and form of long-term debt that must be refinanced
or issued, will depend in substantial part on the ultimate eligibility requirements for senior long-term debt and any grandfathering
provisions. To the extent that outstanding senior long-term debt of JPMorgan Chase & Co. is not classified as eligible LTD
under the TLAC rule as finally adopted by the Federal Reserve, JPMorgan Chase & Co. could be required to issue a substantial
amount of new senior long-term debt which could significantly increase its funding costs.
Selected Purchase Considerations
|
·
|
PRESERVATION
OF CAPITAL AT MATURITY
– Regardless of the performance of 3-Month USD LIBOR, we will pay you at least the principal
amount of your notes if you hold the notes to maturity. Because the notes are our unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, payment
of any amount at maturity is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.
|
|
·
|
PERIODIC
INTEREST PAYMENTS
– The notes offer periodic interest payments on each Interest Payment Date. With respect to the Initial
Interest Periods, your notes will pay an annual interest rate equal to the Initial Interest Rate, and for the applicable Interest
Periods thereafter, your notes will pay an interest rate per annum equal to 3-Month USD LIBOR plus 1.25%, provided that such rate
will not be less than the Minimum Interest Rate or greater than the applicable Maximum Interest Rate. The yield on the notes 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 notes.
|
|
·
|
TREATED
AS VARIABLE RATE DEBT INSTRUMENTS
– You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income
Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement. You and we agree to treat the notes as “variable rate
debt instruments” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming this characterization is respected, interest paid on the
notes will generally be taxable to you as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is received in accordance with your
method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except to the extent of original issue discount, if any. In addition,
a U.S. Holder (as defined in the accompanying product supplement) must include original issue discount, if any, in income as ordinary
income as it accrues, generally in advance of receipt of cash attributable to such income. In general, gain or loss realized on
the sale, exchange or other disposition of the notes will be capital gain or loss. Prospective purchasers are urged to consult
their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income

tax consequences
of an investment in the notes. Purchasers who are not initial purchasers of notes at their issue price on the Original Issue
Date should consult their tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in the notes, and the potential application
of special rules.
Non-U.S. Holders should 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 notes 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 notes made before January 1, 2019.
Selected Risk Considerations
|
·
|
THE
NOTES ARE NOT ORDINARY DEBT SECURITIES BECAUSE, OTHER THAN DURING THE INITIAL INTEREST PERIODS, THE INTEREST RATE ON THE NOTES
IS A FLOATING RATE AND MAY BE EQUAL TO THE MINIMUM INTEREST RATE
– With respect to the Initial Interest Periods, your
notes will pay a rate equal to the Initial Interest Rate, and for the applicable Interest periods thereafter, your notes will
pay a rate per annum equal to 3-Month USD LIBOR plus 1.25%, provided that such rate will not be less than the Minimum Interest
Rate or greater than the applicable Maximum Interest Rate.
|
|
·
|
THE
INTEREST RATE ON THE NOTES FOR AN INTEREST PERIOD (OTHER THAN THE INITIAL INTEREST PERIODS) IS SUBJECT TO THE APPLICABLE MAXIMUM
INTEREST RATE —
The Interest Rate for an Interest Period (other than the Initial Interest Periods) is variable; however,
it will not exceed the applicable Maximum Interest Rate set forth on the front cover of this pricing supplement, regardless of
the performance of 3-Month USD LIBOR. In other words, for an Interest Period (other than the Initial Interest Periods), if 3-Month
USD LIBOR plus 1.25% is greater than or equal to the applicable Maximum Interest Rate, your Interest Rate on the Notes will be
capped at the applicable Maximum Interest Rate.
|
|
·
|
AFTER
THE INITIAL INTEREST PERIODS, THE INTEREST RATE ON THE NOTES IS BASED ON 3-MONTH USD LIBOR
OVER WHICH WE HAVE NO SUBSTANTIVE CONTROL
– The amount of interest, if any, payable on the notes will depend
on a number of factors that could affect the levels of 3-Month USD LIBOR, and in turn, could affect the value of the notes. These
factors include (but are not limited to) the expected volatility of 3-Month USD LIBOR, supply and demand among banks in London
for U.S. dollar-denominated deposits with approximately a three month term, interest and yield rates in the market generally,
the performance of capital markets, monetary policies, fiscal policies, regulatory or judicial events, inflation, general economic
conditions, and public expectations with respect to such factors. These and other factors may have a negative impact on the Interest
Rate and on the value of the notes in the secondary market. The effect that any single factor may have on 3-Month USD LIBOR may
be partially offset by other factors. We cannot predict the factors that may cause 3-Month USD LIBOR, and consequently the Interest
Rate for an Interest Period, to increase or decrease. A decrease in 3-Month USD LIBOR will result in a reduction of the applicable
Interest Rate used to calculate the Interest for any Interest Period
.
|
|
·
|
FLOATING
RATE NOTES DIFFER FROM FIXED RATE NOTES
– After the Initial Interest Period, the rate of interest on your notes will
be variable and determined based on 3-Month USD LIBOR plus 1.25%, provided that such rate will not be greater than the applicable
Maximum Interest Rate or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, which may be less than returns otherwise payable on notes issued
by us with similar maturities. You should consider, among other things, the overall potential annual percentage rate of interest
to maturity of the notes as compared to other investment alternatives.
|
|
·
|
LONGER
DATED NOTES MAY BE MORE RISKY THAN SHORTER DATED NOTES
– By purchasing a note with a longer tenor, you are more exposed
to fluctuations in interest rates than if you purchased a note with a shorter tenor. Specifically, you may be negatively affected
if certain interest rate scenarios occur. The applicable discount rate, which is the prevailing rate in the market for notes of
the same tenor, will likely be higher for notes with longer tenors than if you had purchased a note with a shorter tenor. Therefore,
assuming that short term rates rise, the market value of a longer dated note will be lower than the market value of a comparable
short term note with similar terms.
|
|
·
|
CREDIT
RISK OF JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
— The notes are subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co., and our credit
ratings and credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the notes. Investors are dependent on JPMorgan Chase &
Co.’s ability to pay all amounts due on the notes. Any actual or potential change in our creditworthiness or credit spreads,
as determined by the market for taking our credit risk, is likely to adversely affect the value of the notes. If we were to default
on our payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the notes and you could lose your entire investment.
|
|
·
|
POTENTIAL
CONFLICTS
— We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the notes, including acting
as calculation agent and as an agent of the offering of the notes, hedging our obligations under the notes and making the assumptions
used to determine the pricing of the notes and the estimated value of the notes when the terms of the notes are set, which we
refer to as JPMS’s estimated value. In performing these duties, our economic interests and the economic interests of the
calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes. In addition,
our business activities, including hedging and trading activities as well as modeling and structuring the economic terms of the
notes, could cause our economic interests to be adverse to yours and could adversely affect any payment on the notes and the value
of the notes. It is possible that hedging or trading activities of ours or our affiliates in connection with the notes could result
in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the notes declines. Please refer to “Risk Factors —
Risks Relating to the Notes Generally” in the accompanying product supplement for additional information about these risks.
|
|
·
|
3-Month
USD LIBOR will be affected by a number of factors
— The
amount of interest payable on the notes (after the Initial Interest Period) will depend on 3-Month USD LIBOR. A number of factors
can affect 3-Month USD LIBOR by causing changes in the value of 3-Month USD LIBOR including, but not limited to:
|
·
supply and demand among banks in London for U.S. dollar-denominated
deposits with approximately a three month term;
·
sentiment regarding underlying strength in the U.S. and global economies;
·
expectations regarding the level of price inflation;
JPMorgan Structured Investments —

|
PS-

|
·
sentiment regarding credit quality in the U.S. and global credit markets;
·
central bank policy regarding interest rates;
·
inflation and expectations concerning inflation; and
·
performance of capital markets.
These
and other factors may have a negative impact on the payment of interest on the notes and on the value of the notes in the secondary
market.
|
·
|
3-Month
USD LIBOR may be volatile
— 3-Month USD LIBOR is subject
to volatility due to a variety of factors affecting interest rates generally, including but not limited to:
|
·
sentiment regarding the U.S. and global economies;
·
expectation regarding the level of price inflation;
·
sentiment regarding credit quality in U.S. and global credit markets;
·
central bank policy regarding interest rates; and
·
performance of capital markets.
Increases
or decreases in 3-Month USD LIBOR could result in the corresponding Interest Rate decreasing to the Minimum Interest Rate of 0.00%
per annum and thus in the reduction of interest payable on the notes.
|
·
|
CERTAIN
BUILT-IN COSTS ARE LIKELY TO ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES PRIOR TO MATURITY
—
While the payment at maturity described in this pricing supplement is based on the full principal amount of your notes, the original
issue price of the notes includes the agent’s commission or reflects the deduction of a discount allowed to each agent and
includes the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. As a result, and as a general matter, the price, if any,
at which JPMS will be willing to purchase notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, will likely be lower than
the full principal amount and may be lower than the price at which you initially purchased the notes and any sale prior to the
maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you. This secondary market price will also be affected by a number of factors
aside from the agent’s commission or discount and hedging costs, including those set forth under “Many Economic and
Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Notes” below. The notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments.
Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity.
|
|
·
|
LACK
OF LIQUIDITY
— The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. JPMS intends to offer
to purchase the notes 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 notes easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for
the notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your notes is likely to depend
on the price, if any, at which JPMS is willing to buy the notes.
|
|
·
|
MANY
ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL IMPACT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES
— In addition to 3-Month USD LIBOR on any day, the value of the notes will be affected by a number of economic and market
factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including:
|
·
the expected volatility of 3-Month USD LIBOR;
·
the time to maturity of the notes;
·
interest and yield rates in the market generally, as well as the volatility
of those rates;
·
a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial
events; and
·
our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in
our credit ratings.

Hypothetical
Examples of Interest Rate Calculation
The following examples illustrate how the hypothetical Interest
Rates set forth in the table above are calculated for a particular Interest Period occurring after the Initial Interest Periods
and assume that that the actual number of calendar days in the applicable Interest Period is 90. The hypothetical Interest Rates
in the following examples are for illustrative purposes only and may not correspond to the actual Interest Rates for any Interest
Period applicable to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.
Example 1: After the Initial Interest Periods, 3-Month USD
LIBOR is 0.00% on the applicable Determination Date and the hypothetical Maximum Interest Rate is 4.00%.
Because the 3-Month
USD LIBOR of 0.00% plus 1.25% is less than the hypothetical Maximum Interest Rate, the Interest Rate is 1.25% per annum, calculated
as follows:
0.00% + 1.25% = 1.25%
The corresponding interest payment per $1,000 principal amount
note is calculated as follows:
$1,000 × 1.25% × (90/360)
= $3.125
Example 2: After the Initial Interest Periods, 3-Month USD
LIBOR is 3.50% on the applicable Determination Date and the hypothetical Maximum Interest Rate is 4.00% per annum.
Because
3-Month USD LIBOR of 3.50% plus 1.25% exceeds the Maximum Interest Rate of 4.00% per annum, the Interest Rate is the Maximum Interest
Rate of 4.00% per annum and the interest payment per $1,000 principal amount note is calculated as follows:
$1,000 × 4.00% × (90 / 360)
= $10.00
Example 3: After the Initial Interest Periods, with respect
to a particular Interest Period, 3-Month USD LIBOR is -2.00% on the applicable Determination Date.
Because 3-Month USD LIBOR
of -2.00% plus 1.25% is less than the Minimum Interest Rate of 0.00% per annum, the Interest Rate is the Minimum Interest Rate
of 0.00% per annum and no interest payment is made.
