Supplemental
Terms of the Notes
Any values of the Indices, and any values derived
therefrom, included in this pricing supplement may be corrected, in the event of manifest error or inconsistency, by amendment of this
pricing supplement and the corresponding terms of the notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the indenture governing the notes,
that amendment will become effective without consent of the holders of the notes or any other party.
Hypothetical Payout
Profile
The following table and graph illustrate the hypothetical
total return and payment at maturity on the notes linked to three hypothetical Indices. 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. The hypothetical total returns and payments set forth below assume the following:
| · | an Initial Value for the Least Performing Index of 100.00; |
| · | a Contingent Digital Return of 16.25%; and |
| · | a Buffer Amount of 20.00%. |
The hypothetical Initial Value of the Least Performing
Index of 100.00 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and may not represent a likely actual Initial Value of any Index. The actual
Initial Value of each Index will be the closing level of that Index on the Pricing Date and will be provided in the pricing supplement.
For historical data regarding the actual closing levels of each Index, please see the historical information set forth under “The
Indices” in this pricing supplement.
Each hypothetical total return or hypothetical 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 graph have been rounded for ease of analysis.

The following graph demonstrates the hypothetical payments
at maturity on the notes for a range of Least Performing Index Returns. There can be no assurance that the performance of the Least Performing
Index will result in the return of any of your principal amount in excess of $200.00 per $1,000 principal amount note, subject to the
credit risks of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co.
How the Notes Work
Upside Scenario:
If the Final Value of each Index is greater than or equal
to its Initial Value or is less than its Initial Value by up to the Buffer Amount of 20.00%, investors will receive at maturity the $1,000
principal amount plus a fixed return equal to the Contingent Digital Return of at least 16.25%, which reflects the maximum return
at maturity.
| · | Assuming a hypothetical Contingent Digital Return of 16.25%, if the closing level of the Least Performing Index increases 5.00%, investors
will receive at maturity a return equal to 16.25%, or $1,162.50 per $1,000 principal amount note. |
| · | Assuming a hypothetical Contingent Digital Return of 16.25%, if the closing level of the Least Performing Index increases 50.00%,
investors will receive at maturity a return equal to 16.25%, or $1,162.50 per $1,000 principal amount note. |
| · | Assuming a hypothetical Contingent Digital Return of 16.25%, if the closing level of the Least Performing Index decreases 10.00%,
investors will receive at maturity a return equal to 16.25%, or $1,162.50 per $1,000 principal amount note. |
Downside Scenario:
If the Final Value of any Index is less than its Initial
Value by more than the Buffer Amount of 20.00%, investors will lose 1% of the principal amount of their notes for every 1% that the Final
Value of the Least Performing Index is less than its Initial Value by more than the Buffer Amount.
| · | For example, if the closing level of the Least Performing Index declines 60.00%, investors will lose 40.00% of their principal amount
and receive only $600.00 per $1,000 principal amount note at maturity, calculated as follows: |
$1,000
+ [$1,000 × (-60.00% + 20.00%)] = $600.00
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 the 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 Risk Considerations
An investment in the notes involves significant risks.
These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” sections of the accompanying prospectus supplement and product
supplement and in Annex A to the accompanying prospectus addendum.
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.
If the Final Value of any Index is less than its Initial Value by more than 20.00%, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes
for every 1% that the Final Value of the Least Performing Index is less than its Initial Value by more than 20.00%. Accordingly, under
these circumstances, you will lose up to 80.00% of your principal amount at maturity.
| · | YOUR MAXIMUM GAIN ON THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO THE CONTINGENT DIGITAL RETURN, |
regardless of any appreciation of any Index,
which may be significant.
| · | YOUR ABILITY TO RECEIVE THE CONTINGENT DIGITAL RETURN MAY TERMINATE ON THE OBSERVATION DATE — |
If the Final Value of any Index is less than
its Initial Value by more than the Buffer Amount, you will not be entitled to receive the Contingent Digital Return at maturity. Under
these circumstances, you will lose up to 80.00% of your principal amount at maturity.
| · | CREDIT RISKS OF JPMORGAN FINANCIAL AND JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. — |
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.
| · | 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 and the collection of intercompany obligations.
Aside from the initial capital contribution from JPMorgan Chase & Co., substantially all of our assets relate to obligations
of JPMorgan Chase & Co. to make payments under loans made by us to JPMorgan Chase & Co. or under other intercompany
agreements. As a result, we are dependent upon payments from JPMorgan Chase & Co. to meet our obligations under the notes.
We are not a key operating subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and in a bankruptcy or resolution of JPMorgan Chase & Co.
we are not expected to have sufficient resources to meet our obligations in respect of the notes as they
come due. If JPMorgan Chase & Co. does not make payments to us and we are unable 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. For more information, see the accompanying
prospectus addendum.
| · | YOU ARE EXPOSED TO THE RISK OF DECLINE IN THE LEVEL OF EACH INDEX — |
Payments on the notes are not linked to a basket
composed of the Indices and are contingent upon the performance of each individual Index. Poor performance by any of the Indices over
the term of the notes may negatively affect your payment at maturity and will not be offset or mitigated by positive performance by any
other Index.
| · | YOUR PAYMENT AT MATURITY WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE LEAST PERFORMING INDEX. |
| · | THE NOTES DO NOT PAY INTEREST. |
| · | YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE DIVIDENDS ON THE SECURITIES INCLUDED IN ANY INDEX OR HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THOSE SECURITIES. |
The notes will not be listed on any securities
exchange. Accordingly, 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. You may not be able to sell your 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.

S&P 500® Index, the Russell 2000® Index and the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM |
|
| · | THE FINAL TERMS AND VALUATION OF THE NOTES WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE PRICING SUPPLEMENT — |
You should consider your potential investment
in the notes based on the minimums for the estimated value of the notes and the Contingent Digital Return.
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest
We and our affiliates play a variety of roles
in connection with the notes. In performing these duties, our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s economic interests are potentially
adverse to your interests as an investor in 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.
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary
Market Prices of the Notes
| · | THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES WILL BE 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 will exceed 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 —
|
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. 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 the 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 Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you.
| · | SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL BE IMPACTED BY MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS — |
PS-5
| Structured Investments
Buffered Digital Notes Linked to the Least Performing of the
S&P 500® Index, the Russell 2000® Index and the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM |
|
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 levels of the Indices. 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 Indices
| · | JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. IS CURRENTLY ONE OF THE COMPANIES THAT MAKE UP THE S&P 500® INDEX, |
but JPMorgan Chase & Co. will
not have any obligation to consider your interests in taking any corporate action that might affect the level of the S&P 500®
Index.
| · | AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES IS SUBJECT TO RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SMALL CAPITALIZATION STOCKS WITH RESPECT TO THE RUSSELL 2000®
INDEX — |
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.
| · | RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TECHNOLOGY SECTOR WITH RESPECT TO THE NASDAQ-100® TECHNOLOGY SECTOR INDEXSM
— |
All or substantially all of the equity securities
included in the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM are issued by companies whose primary line of business
is directly associated with the technology sector. As a result, the value of the notes may be subject to greater volatility and
be more adversely affected by a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting this sector than a different investment
linked to securities of a more broadly diversified group of issuers. The value of stocks of technology companies and companies that
rely heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government
regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production
costs. Stocks of technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned
companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual
property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability. Additionally, companies in the technology sector
may face dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. These
factors could affect the technology sector and could affect the value of the equity securities included in the Nasdaq-100®
Technology Sector IndexSM and the level of the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM during the term
of the notes, which may adversely affect the value of your notes.
| · | NON-U.S. SECURITIES RISK WITH RESPECT TO THE NASDAQ-100® TECHNOLOGY SECTOR INDEXSM — |
Some of the equity securities included in the
Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM 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 the issuers of those non-U.S. equity
securities.

Historical Information
The following graphs set forth the historical performance
of each Index based on the weekly historical closing levels from January 4, 2019 through August 23, 2024. The closing level of the S&P
500® Index on August 29, 2024 was 5,591.96. The closing level of the Russell 2000® Index on August 29, 2024
was 2,202.983. The closing level of the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM on August 29, 2024 was 10,249.34.
We obtained the closing levels above and below from the Bloomberg Professional® service (“Bloomberg”), without
independent verification.
The historical closing levels of each Index should
not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the closing level of any Index on the Pricing
Date or the Observation Date. There can be no assurance that the performance of the Indices will result in the return of any of your principal
amount in excess of $200.00 per $1,000 principal amount note, subject to the credit risks of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co.

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,
Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of notes.
Based on current
market conditions, in the opinion of our special tax counsel 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, 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. However, the
IRS or a court may not respect this treatment, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the 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, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary

income and impose a notional interest charge. 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 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.
Additionally, a recent IRS notice excludes from the scope of Section 871(m) instruments issued prior to January 1, 2027 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, we expect that Section 871(m) will 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. If necessary, further information regarding the potential application of Section 871(m)
will be provided in the pricing supplement for the notes. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application
of Section 871(m) to the notes.
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.
The estimated value of the notes does not represent
future values of the notes and may differ from others’ estimates. 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.
The estimated value of the notes will be 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. A portion
of the profits, if any, realized in hedging our obligations under the notes may be allowed to other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers,
and we or one or more of our affiliates will retain any remaining hedging

profits. See “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating
to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Estimated Value of the Notes Will Be Lower Than the Original
Issue Price (Price to Public) of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
Secondary
Market Prices of the Notes
For information about factors that will impact any
secondary market prices of the notes, 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. 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 “Hypothetical Payout Profile” and “How
the Notes Work” in this pricing supplement for an illustration of the risk-return profile of the notes and “The Indices”
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.

Annex A
The Nasdaq-100® Technology
Sector IndexSM
All information contained in this pricing supplement
regarding the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation
and changes in its components, has been derived from publicly available information, without independent verification. This information
reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”). The Nasdaq-100®
Technology IndexSM was developed by Nasdaq and is calculated, maintained and published by The Nasdaq OMX Group, Inc. (“Nasdaq
OMX”). Neither Nasdaq nor Nasdaq OMX has any obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue publication of, the Nasdaq-100®
Technology Sector IndexSM.
The Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM
began on February 22, 2006 at a base value of 1,000.00. The Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM is reported
by Bloomberg, L.P. under the ticker symbol “NDXT.”
The Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM
is an equal-weighted, price-return index designed to measure the performance of the technology companies in the Nasdaq-100 Index®.
Security Eligibility Criteria
The Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM
contains securities of the Nasdaq-100 Index® which are classified as Technology according to the Industry Classification
Benchmark (“ICB”). The eligibility for the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM is determined in
a 2-step process and the security has to meet both criteria in order to become eligible for the Nasdaq-100® Technology
Sector IndexSM. For additional information about the Nasdaq-100 Index®, including the methodology for inclusion
in the Nasdaq-100 Index®, see “Equity Index Descriptions — The Nasdaq-100 Index®” in the
accompanying underlying supplement.
Parent Index
The security must be included in the Nasdaq-100 Index®,
which includes 100 of the largest domestic and international non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq.
Industry or Sector Eligibility
The company must be classified as a Technology Company
(any company classified under the Technology Industry) according to ICB.
Constituent Selection
All securities that meet the applicable Security Eligibility
Criteria described above are included in the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM.
Constituent Weighting
The Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM
employs an equal weighting methodology such that each company’s Index market value is rebalanced quarterly to an equal-dollar value
corresponding to an equal percent weight of the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM’s aggregate market
value. Index Shares are calculated by dividing this equal-dollar market value for each Index Security by the corresponding Last Sale Price
of the security at the close of trading on the third Friday in March, June, September, and December. In the case of multiple share classes
of a company being included in the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM, the equal-weighted market value will
be divided equally among the securities of that company.
Index Calculation
The Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM
is an equal weighted, price return index. The Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM is calculated without regard
to ordinary dividends, however, it does reflect special dividends. The formula is as follows:
| (1) | “Index Market Value” shall be calculated as follows: |
“Index Security” shall mean a security
that has been selected for membership in the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM, having met all applicable
eligibility requirements.

| (2) | “PR Index Divisor” should be calculated as follows: |
The Index Divisor serves the purpose of scaling
an Index Market Value to lower order of magnitude, which is recommended for reporting purposes. The Index Divisor is adjusted to ensure
that changes in an Index Security’s price or shares either by corporate actions or index participation which occur outside of trading
hours do not affect the index value. An Index Divisor change occurs after the close of the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector
IndexSM.
Index Maintenance
Deletion Policy
If a component of the Nasdaq-100® Technology
Sector IndexSM is removed from the Nasdaq-100 Index® for any reason, it is also removed from the Nasdaq-100®
Technology Sector IndexSM at the same time.
Replacement Policy
When a component of the Nasdaq-100 Index®
that is classified as Technology according to ICB is removed from the Nasdaq-100 Index, it is also removed from the Nasdaq-100 Technology
Sector Index. As such, if the replacement company being added to the Nasdaq-100 Index® is classified as Technology according
to ICB, it is added to the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM and will assume the weight of the removed company
on the Index effective date.
When a component of the Nasdaq-100 Index®
that is not classified as Technology according to ICB is removed and the replacement company being added to the Nasdaq-100 Index is classified
as Technology according to ICB, the replacement company is considered for addition to the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index at the next
quarterly Rebalance. When a component of the Nasdaq-100 Index that is classified as Technology according to ICB is removed from the Nasdaq-100
Index and the replacement company being added to the Nasdaq-100 Index® is not classified as Technology according to ICB,
the company is removed from the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM and the divisor of the Nasdaq-100®
Technology Sector IndexSM is adjusted to ensure Index continuity.
Additions Policy
If a security is added to the Nasdaq-100 Index®
for any reason, it may be added to the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM at the same time.
Corporate Actions
In the interim periods between scheduled index reconstitution
and rebalance events, individual Index securities may be the subject to a variety of corporate actions and events that require maintenance
and adjustments to the Index.
In certain cases, corporate actions and events are handled
according to the weighting scheme or other index construction techniques employed. Wherever alternate methods are described, the Index
will follow the “Non-Market Cap Corporate Action Method.”
Index Share Adjustments
Other than as a direct result of corporate actions, the
Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM does not normally experience share adjustments between scheduled index
rebalance and reconstitution events.
License Agreement
JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliate intends
to enter into a non-exclusive license agreement with Nasdaq providing for the license to it and certain of its affiliates or subsidiaries,
including JPMorgan Financial, with a non-exclusive license and, for a fee, with the right to use the Nasdaq-100® Technology
Sector IndexSM in connection with certain securities, including the notes.
The license agreement with Nasdaq provides that the following
language must be stated in this pricing supplement:
