Capped Dual Directional Contingent Buffered Equity Notes Linked
to the Invesco QQQ TrustSM, Series 1 due June 7,
2024
Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase &
Co.
|
General
|
· |
The
notes are designed for investors who seek an unleveraged return
equal to any appreciation (up to the Maximum Upside Return of
6.34%), or an unleveraged return equal to the absolute value of any
depreciation (up to 35.00%), of the Invesco QQQ TrustSM,
Series 1 at maturity. |
|
· |
Investors
should be willing to forgo interest and dividend payments and, if
the Final Share Price is less than the Share Strike Price by more
than 35.00%, be willing to lose some or all of their principal
amount at maturity. |
|
· |
The
notes 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. Any payment on the notes
is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial, as issuer of
the notes, and the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co., as
guarantor of the notes. |

Key Terms
Issuer: |
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, an indirect,
wholly owned finance subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase &
Co. |
Guarantor: |
JPMorgan Chase & Co. |
Fund: |
The
Invesco QQQ TrustSM, Series 1 (Bloomberg ticker: QQQ
UQ) |
Payment
at Maturity: |
If the
Final Share Price is greater than the Share Strike Price, at
maturity you will receive a cash payment that provides you with a
return per $1,000 principal amount note equal to the Fund Return,
subject to the Maximum Upside Return. Accordingly, under
these circumstances, your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal
amount note will be calculated as follows: |
|
$1,000
+ ($1,000 × Fund Return), subject to the Maximum Upside
Return |
|
If
the Final Share Price is equal to the Share Strike Price, you will
receive the principal amount of your notes at maturity.
If
the Final Share Price is less than the Share Strike Price by up to
the Contingent Buffer Amount, you will receive at maturity a cash
payment that provides you with a return per $1,000 principal amount
note equal to the Absolute Fund Return, and your payment at
maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as
follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × Absolute Fund Return)
Because the payment at maturity will not reflect the Absolute
Fund Return if the Final Share Price is less than the Share Strike
Price by more than the Contingent Buffer Amount of 35.00%, your
maximum payment at maturity if the Fund Return is negative is
$1,350.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.
|
|
If the
Final Share Price is less than the Share Strike Price by more than
the Contingent Buffer Amount, you will lose 1% of the principal
amount of your notes for every 1% that the Final Share Price is
less than the Share Strike Price. Under these
circumstances, your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount
note will be calculated as follows: |
|
$1,000
+ ($1,000 × Fund Return) |
|
If
the Final Share Price is less than the Share Strike Price by more
than the Contingent Buffer Amount of 35.00%, you will lose more
than 35.00% of your principal amount at maturity and may lose all
of your principal amount at maturity. |
Maximum
Upside Return: |
6.34%.
For example, if the Fund Return is equal to or greater than 6.34%,
you will receive the Maximum Upside Return of 6.34%, which entitles
you to a maximum payment at maturity if the Fund Return is positive
of $1,063.40 per $1,000 principal amount note that you
hold. |
Contingent Buffer Amount: |
35.00% |
Fund Return: |
(Final Share Price – Share Strike Price)
Share Strike Price
|
Absolute Fund Return: |
The
absolute value of the Fund Return. For example, if the
Fund Return is -5%, the Absolute Fund Return will equal
5%. |
Share
Strike Price: |
$333.36, the closing price of one share of the
Fund on the Strike Date. The Share Strike Price is not determined
by reference to the closing price of one share of the Fund on the

What Is the Total Return on the Notes at Maturity, Assuming a
Range of Performances for the Fund?
The following table and examples illustrate the hypothetical total
return and the hypothetical payment at maturity on the notes. The
“total return” as used in this pricing supplement is the number,
expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the payment
at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note to $1,000. Each
hypothetical total return or payment at maturity set forth below
assumes a hypothetical Share Strike Price of $100.00 and reflects
the Maximum Upside Return of 6.34% and the Contingent Buffer Amount
of 35.00%. The hypothetical Share Strike Price of 100.00 has been
chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the
actual Share Strike Price. Each hypothetical total return or
payment at maturity set forth below is for illustrative purposes
only and may not be the actual total return or payment at maturity
applicable to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in
the following table and in the examples below have been rounded for
ease of analysis.

Hypothetical Examples of Amount Payable at Maturity
The following examples illustrate how the total payment at maturity
in different hypothetical scenarios is calculated.
Example 1: The price of one share of the Fund increases from the
Share Strike Price of $100.00 to a Final Share Price of
$102.50.
Because the Final Share Price of $102.50 is greater than the Share
Strike Price of $100.00 and the Fund Return of 2.50% does not
exceed the Maximum Upside Return of 6.34%, the investor receives a
payment at maturity of $1,025.00 per $1,000 principal amount note,
calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × 2.50%) = $1,025.00
Example 2: The price of one share of the Fund decreases from the
Share Strike Price of $100.00 to a Final Share Price of
$95.00.
Although the Fund Return is negative, because the Final Share Price
of $95.00 is less than the Share Strike Price of $100.00 and the
Fund Return of -5.00% does not exceed the Contingent Buffer Amount
of 35.00%, the Absolute Fund Return is 5.00%. Accordingly, the
investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,050.00 per $1,000
principal amount note, calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × 5.00%) = $1,050.00
Example 3: The price of one share of the Fund increases from the
Share Strike Price of $100.00 to a Final Share Price of
$130.00.
Because the Final Share Price of $130.00 is greater than the Share
Strike Price of $100.00 and the Fund Return of 30.00% exceeds the
Maximum Upside Return of 6.34%, the investor receives a payment at
maturity of $1,063.40 per $1,000 principal amount note, the maximum
payment at maturity if the Fund Return is positive.
Example 4: The price of one share of the Fund decreases from the
Share Strike Price of $100.00 to a Final Share Price of
$50.00.
Because the Final Share Price of $50.00 is less than the Share
Strike Price of $100.00 by more than the Contingent Buffer Amount
of 35.00% and the Fund Return is -50.00%, the investor receives a
payment at maturity of $500.00 per $1,000 principal amount note,
calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × -50.00%) = $500.00
Example 5: The price of one share of the Fund decreases from the
Share Strike Price of $100.00 to a Final Share Price of $65.00.
Although the Fund Return is negative, because the Final Share Price
of $65.00 is less than the Share Strike Price of $100.00 by up to
the Contingent Buffer Amount of 35.00% and the Absolute Fund Return
is 35.00%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,350.00
per $1,000 principal amount note, the maximum payment at maturity
if the Fund Return is negative, calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × 35.00%) = $1,350.00
The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the notes
shown above apply only if you hold the notes for their entire
term. These hypotheticals do not reflect fees or expenses that
would be associated with any sale in the secondary market. If these
fees and expenses were included, the hypothetical returns and
hypothetical payments shown above would likely be lower.

Selected Purchase Considerations
|
· |
CAPPED, UNLEVERAGED
APPRECIATION POTENTIAL IF THE FUND RETURN IS POSITIVE — The
notes provide the opportunity to earn a capped, unleveraged return
equal to a positive Fund Return, up to the Maximum Upside Return of
6.34%. Accordingly, the maximum payment at maturity if the Fund
Return is positive is $1,063.40 per $1,000 principal amount note.
The actual Maximum Upside Return will be provided in the pricing
supplement and will not be less than 6.34%. Because the notes
are our unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, the payment of
which is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase
& Co., payment of any amount on the notes is subject to our
ability to pay our obligations as they become due and JPMorgan
Chase & Co.’s ability to pay its obligations as they become
due. |
|
· |
POTENTIAL FOR UP TO
A 35.00% RETURN ON THE NOTES EVEN IF THE FUND RETURN IS
NEGATIVE — If the Final Share Price is less than the Share
Strike Price by up to the Contingent Buffer Amount, you will earn a
positive, unleveraged return on the notes equal to the Absolute
Fund Return. Under these circumstances, you will earn a positive
return on the notes even though the Final Share Price is less than
the Share Strike Price. For example, if the Fund Return is -5%, the
Absolute Fund Return will equal 5%. Because the payment at maturity
will not reflect the Absolute Fund Return if the Final Share Price
is less than the Share Strike Price by more than the Contingent
Buffer Amount of 35.00%, your maximum payment at maturity if the
Fund Return is negative is $1,350.00 per $1,000 principal amount
note. |
|
· |
RETURN LINKED TO THE
INVESCO QQQ TRUSTSM, SERIES 1 — The return on the
notes is linked to the Invesco QQQ TrustSM, Series 1.
The Invesco QQQ TrustSM, Series 1 is an exchange-traded
fund that seeks to track the investment results, before fees and
expenses, of the Nasdaq-100 Index®, which we refer to as
the Underlying Index with respect to the Invesco QQQ
TrustSM, Series 1. The Nasdaq-100 Index® is a
modified market capitalization-weighted index of stocks of the 100
largest non-financial companies listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market
based on market capitalization. For additional information about
the Invesco QQQ TrustSM, Series 1, see “Fund
Descriptions — The Invesco QQQ TrustSM, Series 1” in the
accompanying underlying supplement. |
|
· |
TAX TREATMENT —
You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S.
Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product
supplement no. 4-I. The following discussion, when read in
combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of our
special tax counsel, Latham & Watkins LLP, regarding the
material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and
disposing of notes. |
Based on current market conditions, and the advice of our special
tax counsel, we believe it is reasonable to treat the notes as
“open transactions” that are not debt instruments for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, as more fully described in “Material U.S.
Federal Income Tax Consequences — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders
— Notes Treated as Open Transactions That Are Not Debt Instruments”
in the accompanying product supplement. Assuming this treatment is
respected, subject to the possible application of the “constructive
ownership” rules, the gain or loss on your notes should be treated
as long-term capital gain or loss if you hold your notes for more
than a year, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of notes
at the issue price. The notes could be treated as “constructive
ownership transactions” within the meaning of Section 1260 of the
Code, in which case any gain recognized in respect of the notes
that would otherwise be long-term capital gain and that was in
excess of the “net underlying long-term capital gain” (as defined
in Section 1260) would be treated as ordinary income, and a
notional interest charge would apply as if that income had accrued
for tax purposes at a constant yield over your holding period for
the notes. Our special tax counsel has not expressed an opinion
with respect to whether the constructive ownership rules apply to
the notes. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should consult their tax
advisers regarding the potential application of the constructive
ownership rules.
There are other reasonable treatments that the IRS or a court may
adopt on the treatment of the notes described above, in which case
the timing and character of any income or loss on your notes could
be materially and adversely affected. In addition, in 2007 Treasury
and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S.
federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and
similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to
require investors in these instruments to accrue income over the
term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of
related topics, including the character of income or loss with
respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as the
nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are
linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated
accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to
withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be
subject to the constructive ownership regime described above. While
the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and
effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance
promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially
and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the
notes, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your
tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of
an investment in the notes, including the potential application of
the constructive ownership rules, possible alternative treatments
and the issues presented by this notice.
Section 871(m) of the Code and Treasury regulations promulgated
thereunder (“Section 871(m)”) generally impose a 30% withholding
tax (unless an income tax treaty applies) on dividend equivalents
paid or deemed paid to Non-U.S. Holders with respect to certain
financial instruments linked to U.S. equities or indices that
include U.S. equities. Section 871(m) provides certain exceptions
to this withholding regime, including for instruments linked to
certain broad-based indices that meet requirements set forth in the
applicable Treasury regulations (such an index, a “Qualified
Index”). Additionally, a recent IRS notice excludes from the scope
of Section 871(m) instruments issued prior to January 1, 2025 that
do not have a delta of one with respect to underlying securities
that could pay U.S.-source dividends for U.S. federal income tax
purposes (each an “Underlying Security”). Based on certain
determinations made by us, our special tax counsel is of the
opinion that Section 871(m) should
|
|
JPMorgan
Structured Investments — |
PS-4 |
Capped
Dual Directional Contingent Buffered Equity Notes Linked to the QQQ
TrustSM, Series 1 |
not apply to the notes with regard to Non-U.S. Holders. Our
determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree
with this determination. Section 871(m) is complex and its
application may depend on your particular circumstances, including
whether you enter into other transactions with respect to an
Underlying Security. You should consult your tax adviser regarding
the potential application of Section 871(m) to the notes.
Withholding under legislation commonly referred to as “FATCA” may
(if the notes are recharacterized as debt instruments) apply to
amounts treated as interest paid with respect to the notes, as well
as to payments of gross proceeds of a taxable disposition,
including redemption at maturity, of a note, although under
recently proposed regulations (the preamble to which specifies that
taxpayers are permitted to rely on them pending finalization), no
withholding will apply to payments of gross proceeds (other than
any amount treated as interest). You should consult your tax
adviser regarding the potential application of FATCA to the
notes.
Selected Risk Considerations
An investment in the notes involves significant risks. Investing in
the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Fund, the
Underlying Index or any of the component securities of the Fund or
the Underlying Index. These risks are explained in more detail in
the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product
supplement.
Risks Relating to the Notes Generally
|
· |
YOUR INVESTMENT IN
THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS — The notes do not guarantee any
return of principal. The return on the notes at maturity is linked
to the performance of the Fund and will depend on whether, and the
extent to which, the Fund Return is positive or negative. If the
Final Share Price is less than the Share Strike Price by more than
the Contingent Buffer Amount of 35.00%, you will lose 1% of the
principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Final Share
Price is less than the Share Strike Price. Accordingly, under these
circumstances, you will lose more than 35.00% of your principal
amount at maturity and may lose all of your principal amount at
maturity. |
|
· |
YOUR MAXIMUM GAIN ON
THE NOTES IS LIMITED BY THE MAXIMUM UPSIDE RETURN AND THE
CONTINGENT BUFFER AMOUNT — If the Final Share Price is greater
than the Share Strike Price, for each $1,000 principal amount note,
you will receive at maturity $1,000 plus an additional
return that will not exceed the Maximum Upside Return of 6.34%,
regardless of the appreciation of the Fund, which may be
significant. In addition, if the Final Share Price is less than the
Share Strike Price by up to the Contingent Buffer Amount of 35.00%,
you will receive at maturity $1,000 plus an additional
return equal to the Absolute Fund Return, up to 35.00%. Because the
payment at maturity will not reflect the Absolute Fund Return if
the Final Share Price is less than the Share Strike Price by more
than the Contingent Buffer Amount of 35.00%, your maximum payment
at maturity if the Fund Return is negative is $1,350.00 per $1,000
principal amount note. |
|
· |
CREDIT RISKS OF
JPMORGAN FINANCIAL AND JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. — The notes are
subject to our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s credit risks, and our
and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s credit ratings and credit spreads
may adversely affect the market value of the notes. Investors
are dependent on our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s ability to pay
all amounts due on the notes. Any actual or potential change in our
or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness or credit spreads,
as determined by the market for taking that credit risk, is likely
to adversely affect the value of the notes. If we and
JPMorgan Chase & Co. were to default on our payment
obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the
notes and you could lose your entire investment. |
|
· |
THE BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE CONTINGENT BUFFER AMOUNT MAY
TERMINATE ON THE VALUATION DATE — If the Final Share Price is
less than the Share Strike Price by more than the Contingent Buffer
Amount, the benefit provided by the Contingent Buffer Amount will
terminate and you will be fully exposed to any depreciation of the
Fund from the Share Strike Price to the Final Share
Price. |
|
· |
NO INTEREST OR
DIVIDEND PAYMENTS OR VOTING RIGHTS — As a holder of the notes,
you will not receive interest payments, and you will not have
voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other
distributions or other rights that holders of the securities
included in the Fund would have. |
|
· |
AS A FINANCE
SUBSIDIARY, JPMORGAN FINANCIAL HAS NO INDEPENDENT OPERATIONS AND
HAS LIMITED ASSETS — As a finance subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase
& Co., we have no independent operations beyond the issuance
and administration of our securities. Aside from the initial
capital contribution from JPMorgan Chase & Co., substantially
all of our assets relate to obligations of our affiliates to make
payments under loans made by us or other intercompany agreements.
As a result, we are dependent upon payments from our affiliates to
meet our obligations under the notes. If these affiliates do not
make payments to us and we fail to make payments on the notes, you
may have to seek payment under the related guarantee by JPMorgan
Chase & Co., and that guarantee will rank pari passu
with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan
Chase & Co. |
|
· |
VOLATILITY RISK
— Greater expected volatility with respect to a Fund indicates a
greater likelihood as of the Strike Date or the Pricing Date that
the Final Share Price of the Fund could be less than the Share
Strike Price. A Fund’s volatility, however, can change
significantly over the term of the notes. The closing price of one
share of the Fund could fall sharply during the term of the notes,
which could result in your losing some or all of your principal
amount at 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

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.
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest
|
· |
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 the estimated value of the notes. 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 notes. 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 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 Conflicts of Interest” in the accompanying
product supplement for additional information about these
risks. |
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market
Prices of the Notes
|
· |
THE ESTIMATED VALUE
OF THE NOTES IS LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE (PRICE TO
PUBLIC) OF THE NOTES — The estimated value of the notes is only
an estimate determined by reference to several factors. The
original issue price of the notes exceeds the estimated value of
the notes because costs associated with selling, structuring and
hedging the notes are included in the original issue price of the
notes. These costs include the selling commissions, the projected
profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming
risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes and the
estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. See “The
Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing
supplement. |
|
· |
THE ESTIMATED VALUE
OF THE NOTES DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE VALUES OF THE NOTES AND MAY
DIFFER FROM OTHERS’ ESTIMATES — The estimated value of the
notes is determined by reference to internal pricing models of our
affiliates when the terms of the notes are set. This estimated
value of the notes is based on market conditions and other relevant
factors existing at that time 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 notes that are greater than or
less than the estimated value of the notes. In addition, market
conditions and other relevant factors in the future may change, and
any assumptions may prove to be incorrect. On future dates, the
value of the notes could change significantly based on, among other
things, changes in market conditions, our or JPMorgan Chase &
Co.’s creditworthiness, interest rate movements and other relevant
factors, which may impact the price, if any, at which JPMS would be
willing to buy notes from you in secondary market transactions. See
“The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing
supplement. |
|
· |
THE ESTIMATED VALUE
OF THE NOTES IS DERIVED BY REFERENCE TO AN INTERNAL FUNDING
RATE — The internal funding rate used in the determination of
the estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied
funding rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar
maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any
difference may be based on, among other things, our and our
affiliates’ view of the funding value of the notes as well as the
higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs
of the notes in comparison to those costs for the conventional
fixed income instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal
funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions,
which may prove to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the
prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use
of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate
may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any
secondary market prices of the notes. See “The Estimated Value of
the Notes” in this pricing supplement. |
|
· |
THE VALUE OF THE
NOTES AS PUBLISHED BY JPMS (AND WHICH MAY BE REFLECTED ON CUSTOMER
ACCOUNT STATEMENTS) MAY BE HIGHER THAN THE THEN-CURRENT ESTIMATED
VALUE OF THE NOTES FOR A LIMITED TIME PERIOD — We generally
expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price
of the notes will be partially paid back to you in connection with
any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in an amount that will
decline to zero over an initial predetermined period. These costs
can include selling commissions, projected hedging profits, if any,
and, in some circumstances, estimated hedging costs and our
internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances. See “Secondary
Market Prices of the Notes” in this pricing supplement for
additional information relating to this initial period.
Accordingly, the estimated value of your notes during this initial
period may be lower than the value of the notes as published by
JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer account
statements). |
|
· |
SECONDARY MARKET
PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL LIKELY BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE
PRICE OF THE NOTES — Any secondary market prices of the notes
will likely be lower than the
original issue price of the notes because, among other things,
secondary market prices take into account our internal secondary
market funding rates for structured debt issuances and, also,
because secondary market prices may exclude selling commissions,
projected hedging profits, if any, and estimated hedging costs that
are included in the original issue price of the notes. As a result,
the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy notes from
you in secondary market transactions, if at all, is likely to be
lower than the original issue price. Any sale by you prior to the

Date could result in a
substantial loss to you. See the immediately following risk
consideration for information about additional factors that will
impact any secondary market prices of the notes.
The notes are not designed to
be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able
and willing to hold your notes to maturity. See “— Lack of
Liquidity” below.
|
· |
SECONDARY MARKET
PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL BE IMPACTED BY MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET
FACTORS — The secondary market price of the notes during their
term will be impacted by a number of economic and market factors,
which may either offset or magnify each other, aside from the
selling commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, estimated
hedging costs and the price of one share of the Fund. |
Additionally, independent pricing vendors and/or third party
broker-dealers may publish a price for the notes, which may also be
reflected on customer account statements. This price may be
different (higher or lower) than the price of the notes, if any, at
which JPMS may be willing to purchase your notes in the secondary
market. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value
and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — Secondary market prices
of the notes will be impacted by many economic and market factors”
in the accompanying product supplement.
Risks Relating to the Fund
|
· |
THERE ARE RISKS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE FUND — Although the shares of the Fund are
listed for trading on a securities exchange and a number of similar
products have been traded on securities exchanges for varying
periods of time, there is no assurance that an active trading
market will continue for the shares of the Fund or that there will
be liquidity in the trading market. The Fund is subject to
management risk, which is the risk that the investment strategies
of the Fund’s investment adviser, the implementation of which is
subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended
results. These constraints could adversely affect the market price
of the shares of the Fund, and consequently, the value of the
notes. |
|
· |
THE PERFORMANCE AND
MARKET VALUE OF THE FUND, PARTICULARLY DURING PERIODS OF MARKET
VOLATILITY, MAY NOT CORRELATE WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND’S
UNDERLYING INDEX AS WELL AS THE NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE — The
Fund does not fully replicate its Underlying Index and may hold
securities different from those included in its Underlying Index.
In addition, the performance of the Fund will reflect additional
transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation
of its Underlying Index. All of these factors may lead to a lack of
correlation between the performance of the Fund and its Underlying
Index. In addition, corporate actions with respect to the equity
securities underlying the Fund (such as mergers and spin-offs) may
impact the variance between the performances of the Fund and its
Underlying Index. Finally, because the shares of the Fund are
traded on a securities exchange and are subject to market supply
and investor demand, the market value of one share of the Fund may
differ from the net asset value per share of the Fund. |
During periods of market volatility, securities underlying the Fund
may be unavailable in the secondary market, market participants may
be unable to calculate accurately the net asset value per share of
the Fund and the liquidity of the Fund may be adversely affected.
This kind of market volatility may also disrupt the ability of
market participants to create and redeem shares of the Fund.
Further, market volatility may adversely affect, sometimes
materially, the prices at which market participants are willing to
buy and sell shares of the Fund. As a result, under these
circumstances, the market value of shares of the Fund may vary
substantially from the net asset value per share of the Fund. For
all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of the Fund may not
correlate with the performance of its Underlying Index as well as
the net asset value per share of the Fund, which could materially
and adversely affect the value of the notes in the secondary market
and/or reduce any payment on the notes.
|
· |
NON-U.S.
SECURITIES RISK WITH RESPECT TO FUND — Some of the equity
securities held by the Fund 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 home countries
of those non-U.S. equity securities. |
|
· |
THE ANTI-DILUTION
PROTECTION FOR THE FUND IS LIMITED — The calculation agent will
make adjustments to the Share Adjustment Factor for certain events
affecting the shares of the Fund. However, the calculation agent
will not make an adjustment in response to all events that could
affect the shares of the Fund. If an event occurs that does not
require the calculation agent to make an adjustment, the value of
the notes may be materially and adversely affected. |

Historical Information
The following graph sets forth the historical performance of the
Fund based on the weekly historical closing prices of one share of
the Fund from January 5, 2018 through May 19, 2023. The closing
price of one share of the Fund on May 24, 2023 was $331.65.
We obtained the closing prices above and below from the Bloomberg
Professional® service (“Bloomberg”), without independent
verification. The closing prices above and below may have been
adjusted by Bloomberg for actions taken by the Fund, such as stock
splits. The historical prices of one share of the Fund should not
be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance
can be given as to the closing price of one share of the Fund on
the Valuation Date. There can be no assurance that the performance
of the Fund will result in the return of any of your principal
amount.

The Estimated Value of the Notes
The estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover of this
pricing supplement is equal to the sum of the values of the
following hypothetical components: (1) a fixed-income debt
component with the same maturity as the notes, valued using the
internal funding rate described below, and (2) the derivative or
derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes. The
estimated value of the notes does not represent a minimum price at
which JPMS would be willing to buy your notes in any secondary
market (if any exists) at any time. The internal funding rate used
in the determination of the estimated value of the notes may differ
from the market-implied funding rate for vanilla fixed income
instruments of a similar maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase &
Co. or its affiliates. Any difference may be based on, among other
things, our and our affiliates’ view of the funding value of the
notes as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing
liability management costs of the notes in comparison to those
costs for the conventional fixed income instruments of JPMorgan
Chase & Co. This internal funding rate is based on certain
market inputs and assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect, and
is intended to approximate the prevailing market replacement
funding rate for the notes. The use of an internal funding rate and
any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on
the terms of the notes and any secondary market prices of the
notes. For additional information, see “Selected Risk
Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Estimated Value of the
Notes Is Derived by Reference to an Internal Funding Rate” in this
pricing supplement. The value of the derivative or derivatives
underlying the economic terms of the notes is derived from internal
pricing models of our affiliates. These models are dependent on
inputs such as the traded market prices of comparable derivative
instruments and on various other inputs, some of which are
market-observable, and which can include volatility, dividend
rates, interest rates and other factors, as well as assumptions
about future market events and/or environments. Accordingly, the
estimated value of the notes is determined when the terms of the
notes are set based on market conditions and other relevant factors
and assumptions existing at that time. See “Selected Risk
Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Estimated Value of the
Notes Does Not Represent Future Values of the Notes and May Differ
from Others’ Estimates” in this pricing supplement.
The estimated value of the notes is lower than the original issue
price of the notes because costs associated with selling,
structuring and hedging the notes are included in the original
issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling
commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated
dealers, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect
to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations
under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations
under the notes. Because hedging our obligations entails risk and
may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging
may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or it
may result in a loss. We or one or more of our affiliates will
retain any profits realized in hedging our obligations under the
notes. See “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the
Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The
Estimated Value of the Notes Is Lower Than the Original Issue Price
(Price to Public) of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes

prices of the notes, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the

be impacted by many economic and market factors” in the
accompanying product supplement. In addition, we generally expect
that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the
notes will be partially paid back to you in connection with any
repurchases of your notes by JPMS in an amount that will decline to
zero over an initial predetermined period. These costs can include
selling commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, and, in
some circumstances, estimated hedging costs and our internal
secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances. This
initial predetermined time period is intended to be the shorter of
six months and one-half of the stated term of the notes. The length
of any such initial period reflects the structure of the notes,
whether our affiliates expect to earn a profit in connection with
our hedging activities, the estimated costs of hedging the notes
and when these costs are incurred, as determined by our affiliates.
See “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated
Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Value of the
Notes as Published by JPMS (and Which May Be Reflected on Customer
Account Statements) May Be Higher Than the Then-Current Estimated
Value of the Notes for a Limited Time Period” in this pricing
supplement.
Supplemental Use of Proceeds
The notes are offered to meet investor demand for products that
reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the
notes. See “What Is the Total Return on the Notes at Maturity,
Assuming a Range of Performances for the Fund?” and “Hypothetical
Examples of Amount Payable at Maturity” in this pricing supplement
for an illustration of the risk-return profile of the notes and
“Selected Purchase Considerations — Return Linked to the Invesco
QQQ TrustSM, Series 1” in this pricing supplement for a
description of the market exposure provided by the notes.
The original issue price of the notes is equal to the estimated
value of the notes plus the selling commissions paid to JPMS and
other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, plus (minus) the
projected profits (losses) that our affiliates expect to realize
for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the
notes, plus the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the
notes.

amount of JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s obligation under the related
guarantee. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is
limited to the laws of the State of New York, the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Delaware Limited
Liability Company Act. In addition, this opinion is subject to
customary assumptions about the trustee’s authorization, execution
and delivery of the indenture and its authentication of the notes
and the validity, binding nature and enforceability of the
indenture with respect to the trustee, all as stated in the letter
of such counsel dated February 24, 2023, which was filed as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 by JPMorgan
Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. on February 24, 2023.
