In the event of any withholding on the notes, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so
withheld.
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 — 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 structuring
and hedging the notes are included in the original issue price of the notes. These costs include 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 — 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 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 — 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 “How the Notes Work” and “Hypothetical Payout Examples” 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 (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.
