Contingent Income Callable Securities due October 25, 2018
All Payments on the Securities Based on the Worst Performing of the EURO STOXX

®
Index and the Russell 2000
®
IndexPrincipal 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 3.40% of the stated principal amount with respect to each quarterly monitoring period during which the closing level of each of the EURO STOXX
50
®
Index, the S&P 500
®
Index
and
the Russell 2000
®
Index on each
day is
greater than or equal to
75% of its initial index value, which we refer to as a downside threshold level. However, if, on
any
day during a quarterly monitoring period, the closing level of
any underlying index
is
less than its 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 underlying indices. If the securities have not been redeemed prior to maturity and the final index
value of
each
underlying index is greater than or equal to its downside threshold level, the payment at maturity due on the securities will be the stated principal amount and, if the closing level of each underlying index on each day during
the final quarterly monitoring period is greater than or equal to its 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 index value of
any underlying index
is less than its downside threshold level, you will be exposed to the decline in the worst performing of the underlying indices, as compared to its initial index value, on a 1-to-1
basis and will receive a cash payment at maturity that is less than 75% 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
. Because all payments on the securities are based on the worst performing of the underlying indices, a decline beyond
the downside threshold level of any underlying index will result in few or no contingent quarterly payments and/or significant loss of your initial investment, even if the other underlying indices appreciate or have not declined as
much. Investors will not participate in any appreciation of any underlying index. The securities are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan 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 Financials 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.

Index, 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 $34.00 (3.40% of the stated principal amount) per security, with respect to each quarterly monitoring period during which the closing level of each underlying index on each day is greater than or equal to 75% of
its initial index value, which we refer to as a downside threshold level. 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 closing level of any underlying index
is less than its downside threshold level on any day during a quarterly monitoring period, investors will receive no contingent quarterly payment for that quarterly monitoring period. It is possible that the closing level of one or more
underlying indices could be below their respective downside threshold levels 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 during the term of the
securities. 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 all of the underlying indices were to be at or above their respective downside threshold
levels on each day during some quarterly monitoring periods, one or more underlying indices may fluctuate below their respective downside threshold level(s) on any day during 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 underlying indices. If the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final index value of each underlying index is greater than or equal to its downside
threshold level, the payment at maturity will be the sum of the stated principal amount and, if the closing level of each underlying index on each day during the final quarterly monitoring period is greater than or equal to its 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 index value of any underlying index is less than its downside threshold
level, investors will be exposed to the decline in the worst performing underlying index, as compared to its initial index value, on a 1-to-1 basis. Under these circumstances, the payment at maturity will be (i) the stated principal amount
times
(ii) the index performance factor of the worst performing underlying index, which will be less than 75% 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 underlying indices.

Principal at Risk Securities
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 3.40% of the stated principal amount with respect to each quarterly monitoring period during which the
closing level of each underlying index on each day is
greater than or equal to
75% of its initial index value, which we refer to as a downside threshold level. 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 closing level of each underlying index on each day during
the final quarterly monitoring period including its final index 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 any underlying index from its initial index value.
|
|
|
|
|
Any early redemption of the securities will be at our discretion and will not automatically occur based on the performance of the
underlying indices. 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 closing level of
each underlying index is at or above its 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 closing level of any underlying index is below its 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 index value of each underlying index is
greater than or equal to
its downside threshold
level.
|
|
|
|
|
|
§
|
|
The payment due at maturity will be (i) the stated principal amount
plus
(ii) if the closing level of each underlying index on each day during the final quarterly monitoring period is greater than or equal to its downside
threshold level, a contingent quarterly payment with respect to the final quarterly monitoring period.
|
|
|
|
|
|
§
|
|
Investors will not participate in any appreciation of any underlying index from its initial index value.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Scenario 3
|
|
The securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, and the final index value of any underlying index is
less than
its downside threshold level.
|
|
|
|
|
|
§
|
|
The payment due at maturity will be (i) the stated principal amount
times
(ii) the index performance factor of the worst performing underlying index.
|
|
|
|
|
Investors will lose some, and may lose all, of their principal in this scenario.

Hypothetical Examples
The following hypothetical
examples illustrate how to determine whether a contingent quarterly payment is payable with respect to a quarterly monitoring period, how to calculate the early redemption payment if we elect to redeem the securities early and how to calculate the
payment at maturity if the securities have not been redeemed early. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only. Whether you receive a contingent quarterly payment will be determined by reference to the closing level of each
underlying index on each day during a quarterly monitoring period and the amount you will receive at maturity, if any, will be determined by reference to the final index value of each underlying index and the closing level of each underlying index
on each day during the final 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 underlying indices. The actual initial index value
and downside threshold level for each underlying index will be provided in the pricing supplement. Any payment on the securities is subject to our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.s credit risks. The numbers in the hypothetical examples
below may have been rounded for the ease of analysis.
The examples below are based on the following assumed terms:
|
|
|
|
|
Contingent quarterly payment:
|
|
A contingent quarterly payment of $34.00 per quarter per security will be paid on the securities on each contingent payment date
but only if
the closing level of each underlying index is at or above its downside threshold
level on each day during the related quarterly monitoring period.
|
|
|
Early redemption:
|
|
We,
at our discretion
, may redeem the securities early, in whole but not in part, on any of the contingent payment dates (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.
|
|
|
Payment at maturity (if the securities have not been redeemed early):
|
|
If the final index value of each underlying index is
greater than or equal to
its downside threshold level: the stated principal amount and,
if the closing level of each underlying index on each day of the final quarterly monitoring period is greater than or equal to its downside threshold level, the contingent quarterly payment with respect to the final quarterly monitoring period.
If the final index value of any underlying index is less than its downside threshold level: (i) the
stated principal amount
times
(ii) the index performance factor of the worst performing underlying index
|
|
|
Stated principal amount:
|
|
$1,000 per security
|
|
|
Hypothetical initial index value:
|
|

With respect to the
SPX Index: 2,100.00
With respect to the RTY Index: 1,200.00
|
|
|
Hypothetical downside threshold level:
|
|
With respect to the SX5E Index: 2,250.00, which is 75% of the hypothetical initial index value for such index
With respect to the SPX Index: 1,575.00, which is 75% of the hypothetical initial index value for such index
With respect to the RTY Index: 900.00, which is 75% of the hypothetical initial index value for such index

During hypothetical quarterly monitoring period 1, each underlying index closes at or above its downside threshold level on each
day. Therefore, a contingent quarterly payment of $34.00 is payable on the relevant contingent payment date.
During each of the hypothetical quarterly
monitoring periods 2 and 3, one underlying index closes at or above its downside threshold level on each day but the other underlying indices close below their respective downside threshold levels on at least one day. Therefore, no contingent
quarterly payment is payable on the relevant contingent payment date.
During hypothetical quarterly monitoring period 4, each underlying index closes below its
downside threshold level on at least one day and, accordingly, no contingent quarterly payment is payable on the relevant contingent payment date.
You will not
receive a contingent quarterly payment on any contingent payment date if the closing level of any underlying index is below its downside threshold level on any day during the related quarterly monitoring period.

In example 1, we elect to redeem the securities early on a contingent payment date (other than the final contingent payment
date). During the related quarterly monitoring period, one underlying index closes at or above its downside threshold level on each day but the other underlying indices close below their respective downside threshold levels on at least one day.
Therefore, you receive an early redemption payment equal to the stated principal amount of the securities. No further payments will be made on the securities once they have been redeemed.
In example 2, we elect to redeem the securities early on a contingent payment date (other than the final contingent payment date). During the related quarterly
monitoring period, each underlying index closes at or above its downside threshold level on each day. Therefore, you receive an early redemption payment equal to the stated principal amount

In example 1, the final index value of each
underlying index is at or above its downside threshold level and each underlying index closes at or above its downside threshold level on each day during the final quarterly monitoring period. Therefore, you receive at maturity the stated principal
amount of the securities and the contingent quarterly payment with respect to the final quarterly monitoring period.
In example 2, the final index value of each
underlying index is at or above its downside threshold level but at least one underlying index closes below its downside threshold level on at least one day during the final quarterly monitoring period. Therefore, you receive at maturity the
stated principal amount of the securities but no contingent quarterly payment is payable with respect to the final quarterly monitoring period.
In example 3, the
final index value of one underlying index is at or above its downside threshold level but the final index values of the other underlying indices are below their respective downside threshold levels. Therefore, you are exposed to the downside
performance of the worst performing underlying index at maturity and receive a cash payment at maturity equal to the stated principal amount times the index performance factor of the worst performing underlying index.
Similarly, in examples 4 and 5, the final index value of each underlying index is below its downside threshold level, and you receive a cash payment at maturity equal
to the stated principal amount
times
the index performance factor of the worst performing underlying index.
If the final index value of ANY underlying
index is below its downside threshold level, you will be exposed to the downside performance of the worst performing underlying index at maturity, and your payment at maturity will be less than 75% of the stated principal amount per security and
could be zero.
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.

Principal at Risk Securities
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 sections entitled Risk Factors of the accompanying product supplement and the accompanying underlying
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 index value of
any
of the underlying indices is less than its
downside threshold level, you will be exposed to the decline in the closing level of the worst performing underlying index, as compared to its initial index 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 index performance factor of the worst performing underlying index.
In this case, your payment at maturity will be less than 75% of the stated principal
amount and could be zero.
|
§
|
|
You will not receive any contingent quarterly payment for any quarterly monitoring period if the closing level of any underlying index is less than its 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 closing level of each underlying index on each day during the quarterly monitoring period is greater than or equal to its downside threshold level. If the closing level of any underlying index is below
its 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 closing level of one or more underlying indices could be below their respective downside threshold levels 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 closing levels of the underlying indices 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 closing level of each underlying index 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 closing level of each underlying index on each day during that quarterly monitoring period, if the closing level of any
of the underlying indices on any day during that quarterly monitoring period is below its downside threshold level, you will not receive any contingent quarterly payment with respect to that quarterly monitoring period, even if the closing level of
that underlying index was higher on other days during that quarterly monitoring period.
|
§
|
|
You are exposed to the price risk of all three underlying indices, with respect to all the contingent quarterly payments, if any, and the payment at maturity, if any.
Your return on the securities is not
linked to a basket consisting of the underlying indices. Rather, it will be contingent upon the independent performance of each underlying index. Unlike an instrument with a return linked to a basket of underlying assets in which risk is
mitigated and diversified among all the components of the basket, you will be exposed to the risks related to each underlying index. The performance of the underlying indices may not be correlated. Poor performance by
any underlying
index
over the term of the securities may negatively affect your return and will not be offset or mitigated by any positive performance by the other underlying indices. Accordingly, your investment is subject to the risk of decline in the
closing level of each underlying index.
|
To receive
any
contingent quarterly payments,
each
underlying index must close
at or above its downside threshold level on each day throughout a quarterly monitoring period. In addition, if
any underlying index
has declined to below its downside threshold level as of the final determination date, you will be
fully exposed
to the decline in the worst performing underlying index, as compared to its initial index value, on a 1-to-1 basis, even if the other underlying indices have appreciated. Under this scenario, the value of any such payment
will be less than 75% of the stated principal amount and could be zero.
§
|
|
Because the securities are linked to the performance of the worst performing underlying index, you are exposed to
greater risks of no contingent quarterly payments and sustaining a significant loss on your
|

|
investment than if the securities were linked to just one underlying index.
The risk that you will not receive any contingent quarterly payments, or that you will suffer a significant loss on your investment is
greater if you invest in the securities than if you invest in substantially similar securities that are linked to the performance of just one underlying index. With three underlying indices, it is more likely that any one underlying index will
close below its downside threshold level on any day during a quarterly monitoring period or on the final determination date than if the securities were linked to only one underlying index. In addition, you will not benefit from the performance
of any underlying index other than the worst performing underlying index. Therefore it is more likely that you will not receive any contingent quarterly payments and that you will suffer a significant loss on your investment.
|
§
|
|
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 any underlying index.
Investors will not participate in any appreciation in any underlying index from its initial index 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 closing level of each underlying index on each day is greater than or equal to its downside threshold
level, if any.
|
§
|
|
The securities are subject to risks associated with securities issued by non-U.S. companies, with respect to the SX5E Index.
The equity securities included in the SX5E Index have been issued by non-U.S.
companies. Investments in securities linked to the value of such non-U.S. equity securities involve risks associated with the securities markets in the home countries of the issuers of those non-U.S. equity securities, including risks of
volatility in those markets, governmental intervention in those markets and cross shareholdings in companies in certain countries. Also, there is generally less publicly available information about companies in some of these jurisdictions than
there is about U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC, and generally non-U.S. companies are subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements and securities trading rules different
from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies.
|
§
|
|
The securities are not directly exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates with respect to the SX5E Index.
The value of your securities will not be adjusted for exchange rate fluctuations between the
U.S. dollar and the currencies upon which the equity securities included in the SX5E Index are based, although any currency fluctuations could affect the performance of the SX5E Index. Therefore, if the applicable currencies appreciate or
depreciate relative to the U.S. dollar over the term of the securities, you will not receive any additional payment or incur any reduction in any payment on the securities.
|
§
|
|
An investment in the securities is subject to risks associated with small capitalization stocks with respect to the RTY Index.
The stocks that constitute the RTY Index are issued by companies with relatively
small market capitalization. The stock prices of smaller companies may be more volatile than stock prices of large capitalization companies. Small capitalization companies may be less able to withstand adverse economic, market, trade and
competitive conditions relative to larger companies. Small capitalization companies are less likely to pay dividends on their stocks, and the presence of a dividend payment could be a factor that limits downward stock price pressure under
adverse market conditions.
|
§
|
|
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 underlying indices. 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 closing level of each underlying index is at or above its 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 closing level of any underlying index is below its 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 has determined the initial index values and the downside threshold
levels and will determine the final index values and whether the closing value of each underlying index on any day during any quarterly monitoring period or on the final determination date is below its 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, JPMorgan Chase & Co. is currently one of the companies that make up the SPX Index. 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 value of the SPX Index or the securities.
Moreover, 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.
§
|
|
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 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 closing level of each underlying index, including:
|
|
¡
|
|
any actual or potential change in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.s creditworthiness or credit spreads;
|
|
¡
|
|
customary bid-ask spreads for similarly sized trades;
|
|
¡
|
|
our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances;
|
|
¡
|
|
the actual and expected volatility in the closing level of each underlying index;
|
|
¡
|
|
the time to maturity of the securities;
|
|
¡
|
|
whether the closing level of any underlying index has been, or is expected to be, less than its downside threshold level on any day during any quarterly monitoring period;
|
|
¡
|
|
whether we are expected to exercise our right to redeem the securities early;
|
|
¡
|
|
the dividend rates on the equity securities included in the underlying indices;
|
|
¡
|
|
the actual and expected positive or negative correlation between the underlying indices, or the actual or expected absence of any such correlation;
|
|
¡
|
|
interest and yield rates in the market generally;
|
|
¡
|
|
the exchange rates and the volatility of the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and each of the currencies in which the equity securities included in the SX5E Index trade and the correlation among those rates and
the levels of the SX5E Index; and
|
|
¡
|
|
a variety of other economic, financial, political, regulatory and judicial events.
|
Additionally,
independent pricing vendors and/or third party broker-dealers may publish a price for the securities, which may also be reflected on customer account statements. This price may be different (higher or lower) than the price of the securities, if
any, at which JPMS may be willing to purchase your securities in the secondary market.

voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to stocks that constitute any underlying index.
|
§
|
|
Adjustments to any underlying index could adversely affect the value of the securities.
The underlying index publisher of any underlying index may discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of that
underlying 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 underlying index and is not precluded from considering indices that
are calculated and published by the calculation agent or any of its affiliates.
|
§
|
|
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 issuers affiliates and of any other hedging
counterparty with respect to the securities on or prior to the pricing date and prior to maturity could have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, the closing levels of the underlying indices. Any of these hedging or trading
activities on or prior to the pricing date could have affected the initial index values and, as a result, the downside threshold levels, which are the respective levels at or above which the underlying indices must close on each day during a
quarterly monitoring period in order for you to earn a contingent quarterly payment or, if the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, the respective levels at or above which the underlying indices must close on the final determination date
in order for you to avoid being exposed to the negative price performance of the worst performing underlying index at maturity. Additionally, these hedging or trading activities during the term of the securities could potentially affect the
values of the underlying indices 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 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

Calculation agent:

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 is 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 is 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.

obligations under the securities.

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.
