Payment at Maturity:
If the Final Value of each
Index is greater than its Initial Value, your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:
$1,000
+ ($1,000 × Least Performing Index Return × Upside Leverage Factor)
Because the Upside Leverage Factor is set at 1.00, you
will not benefit from any upside leverage at maturity.
If the Final Value of any Index is equal to or less than its Initial Value but
the Final Value of each Index is greater than or equal to its Barrier Amount, your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note
will be calculated as follows:
$1,000
+ ($1,000 × Absolute Index Return of the Least Performing Index)
This payout formula results in an effective cap of 30.00% on your return at
maturity if the Least Performing Index Return is
negative. Under these limited circumstances, your maximum payment at maturity is $1,300.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.
If the Final Value of any Index is less than its Barrier Amount, your payment at
maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × Least Performing Index
Return)
If the Final Value of
any Index is less than its Barrier Amount, you will lose more than 30.00% of your principal amount at maturity and could lose all
of your principal amount at maturity.
Absolute Index Return:
With respect to each Index, the absolute value of its Index Return.
For example, if the Index Return of an Index is -5%, its Absolute Index Return will equal 5%.

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; |
| ● | an Upside Leverage Factor of 1.00; and |
| ● | a Barrier Amount for the Least Performing Index of 70.00 (equal to
70.00% of its hypothetical Initial Value). |
The hypothetical Initial Value of the Least Performing Index of 100.00
has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual Initial Value of any Index. The actual Initial Value
of each Index is the closing level of that Index on the Pricing Date and is specified under “Key Terms – Initial Value”
in this 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.

Uncapped Dual Directional Barrier Notes Linked to the Least Performing
of the Dow Jones Industrial Average™, the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index |
|
The following graph demonstrates the hypothetical payments at maturity
on the notes for a range of Least Performing Index Returns (-100% to 100%). There can be no assurance that the performance of the Least
Performing Index will result in the return of any of your principal amount.
How the Notes Work
Index Appreciation Upside Scenario:
If the Final Value of each Index is greater than its Initial Value,
investors will receive at maturity the $1,000 principal amount plus a return equal to the Least Performing Index Return times the
Upside Leverage Factor of 1.00.
| ● | If the closing level of the Least Performing Index increases 10.00%, investors will receive at maturity a return of 10.00%, or $1,100.00
per $1,000 principal amount note. |
Index Par or Index Depreciation Upside Scenario:
If the Final Value of any Index is equal to or less than its Initial
Value but the Final Value of each Index is greater than or equal to its Barrier Amount of 70.00% of its Initial Value, investors will
receive at maturity the $1,000 principal amount plus a return equal to the Absolute Index Return of the Least Performing Index.
| ● | For example, if the closing level of
the Least Performing Index declines
10.00%, investors will receive at maturity a return of 10.00%, or $1,100.00 per $1,000 principal amount note. |
Downside Scenario:
If the Final Value of any Index is less than its Barrier Amount of
70.00% of its Initial Value, 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.
| ● | For example, if the closing level of the Least Performing Index declines 50.00%,
investors will lose 50.00% of their principal amount and receive
only $500.00 per $1,000 principal amount note at maturity. |
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.
| ● | 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 Barrier Amount, 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.
Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose more than 30.00%
of your principal amount at maturity and could lose all of your principal
amount at maturity. |
| ● | YOUR MAXIMUM GAIN ON THE NOTES IS LIMITED BY THE BARRIER AMOUNT IF THE LEAST PERFORMING INDEX RETURN IS NEGATIVE —
Because the payment at maturity will not reflect the Absolute Index Return of the Least Performing Index if its Final Value is less than
its Barrier Amount, the Barrier Amount effectively caps your return at maturity if the Least Performing Index Return is negative. The
maximum payment at maturity if the Least Performing Index Return is negative is $1,300.00
per $1,000 principal amount note. |
| ● | 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. 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. |
| ● | POTENTIAL CONFLICTS —
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. |
| ● | JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. IS CURRENTLY ONE OF THE COMPANIES THAT MAKE UP THE DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGETM
AND 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average™ or 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. |
| ● | 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 BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE BARRIER AMOUNT MAY TERMINATE ON THE OBSERVATION DATE —
If the Final Value of any Index is less than its Barrier Amount, the benefit provided by the Barrier Amount will terminate, and you will
be fully exposed to any depreciation of 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 RISK OF THE CLOSING LEVEL OF AN INDEX FALLING BELOW ITS BARRIER AMOUNT IS GREATER IF THE LEVEL OF THAT INDEX IS VOLATILE. |
| ● | LACK OF LIQUIDITY—
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. |

of the Dow Jones Industrial Average™, the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index |
|
| ● | 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 —
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 —
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. |

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, 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 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.

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 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. 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 Is 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 — 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.
