General
|
● |
The notes are designed for investors who seek a Contingent
Interest Payment if, (1) with respect to any Review Date (other
than the final Review Date), the closing price of one share of the
Reference Stock or, (2) with respect to the final Review Date, the
Final Stock Price is greater than or equal to 80.00% of the Initial
Stock Price, which we refer to as the Interest Barrier. Investors
should be willing to forgo fixed interest and dividend payments, in
exchange for the opportunity to receive Contingent Interest
Payments. |
|
● |
Investors in the notes should be willing to accept the risk of
losing some or all of their principal if a Trigger Event (as
defined below) has occurred and the risk that no Contingent
Interest Payment may be made with respect to some or all Review
Dates. Contingent Interest Payments should not be viewed as
periodic interest payments. |
|
● |
If the closing price of one share of the Reference Stock is
greater than or equal to the Interest Barrier on any Review Date,
investors will receive, in addition to the Contingent Interest
Payment with respect to that Review Date, any previously unpaid
Contingent Interest Payments for prior Review Dates. |
|
● |
The notes will be automatically called if the closing price of
one share of the Reference Stock on any Review Date (other than the
final Review Date) is greater than or equal to the Initial Stock
Price. The earliest date on which an automatic call may be
initiated, is March 18, 2022. |
|
● |
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. |

What Are the Payments on the Notes, Assuming a Range of
Performances for the Reference Stock?
If the notes
have not been automatically called and, (1) with respect to any
Review Date (other than the final Review Date), the closing price
of one share of the Reference Stock or, (2) with respect to the
final Review Date, the Final Stock Price is greater than or equal
to the Interest Barrier, you will receive on the applicable
Interest Payment Date for each $1,000 principal amount note a
Contingent Interest Payment equal to at least $37.25 plus any
previously unpaid Contingent Interest Payments for any prior Review
Dates. The actual Contingent Interest Payment will be provided in
the pricing supplement and will not be less than $37.25 per $1,000
principal amount note. If, (1) with respect to any Review Date
(other than the final Review Date), the closing price of one share
of the Reference Stock or, (2) with respect to the final Review
Date, the Final Stock Price is less than the Interest Barrier, no
Contingent Interest Payment will be made with respect to that
Review Date. We refer to the Interest Payment Date immediately
following any Review Date on which the closing price of one share
of the Reference Stock or Final Stock Price, as applicable, is less
than the Interest Barrier as a “No-Coupon Date.” The following
table assumes a Contingent Interest Payment of $37.25 per $1,000
principal amount note and illustrates the hypothetical total
Contingent Interest Payments per $1,000 principal amount note over
the term of the notes depending on how many No-Coupon Dates
occur.

The following
table illustrates the hypothetical payments on the notes in
different hypothetical scenarios. Each hypothetical payment set
forth below assumes an Initial Stock Price of $250, an Interest
Barrier and a Trigger Level of $200.00 (equal to 80.00% of the
hypothetical Initial Stock Price) and a Contingent Interest Payment
of $37.25. The actual Contingent Interest Payment will be provided
in the pricing supplement and will not be less than $37.25 per
$1,000 principal amount note. Each hypothetical payment set forth
below is for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual
payment applicable to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers
appearing in the following table and examples have been rounded for
ease of analysis.

(1) |
The notes will be automatically called if the closing price of
one share of the Reference Stock on any Review Date (other than the
final Review Date) is greater than or equal to the Initial Stock
Price. |
|
(2) |
You will receive a Contingent Interest Payment in connection
with a Review Date if, (1) with respect to any Review Date (other
than the final Review Date), the closing price of one share of the
Reference Stock or, (2) with respect to the final Review Date, the
Final Stock Price is greater than or equal to the Interest Barrier
plus any previously unpaid Contingent Interest Payments for
any prior Review Dates. The applicable amount shown in the table
above does not include any previously unpaid Contingent Interest
Payments that may be payable on the applicable Interest Payment
Date. |
|
(3) |
A Trigger Event occurs if the Final Stock Price (i.e.,
the arithmetic average of the closing prices of one share of the
Reference Stock on the Ending Averaging Dates) is less than the
Trigger Level. |
Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable on the Notes
The following
examples illustrate how payments on the notes in different
hypothetical scenarios are calculated.
Example 1:
The price of one share of the Reference Stock increases from the
Initial Stock Price of $250 to a closing level of $300 on the first
Review Date. Because the closing price of one share of the
Reference Stock on the first Review Date is greater than the
Interest Barrier, the investor is entitled to receive a Contingent
Interest Payment in connection with the first Review Date. In
addition, because the closing price of one share of the Reference
Stock on the first Review Date is greater than the Initial Stock
Price, the notes are automatically called. Accordingly, the
investor receives a payment of $1,037.25 per $1,000 principal
amount note on the relevant Call Settlement Date, consisting of a
Contingent Interest Payment of $37.25 per $1,000 principal amount
note and repayment of principal equal to $1,000 per $1,000
principal amount note.
Example 2: A
Contingent Interest Payment is not paid in connection with the
first Review Date but is paid in connection with the second Review
Date, the closing price of one share of the Reference Stock is less
than the Initial Stock Price of $250 on each of the Review Dates
preceding the third Review Date and the price of one share of the
Reference Stock increases from the Initial Stock Price of $250 to a
closing price of $300 on the third Review Date. The investor
receives a payment of $74.50 per $1,000 principal amount note in
connection with the second Review Date (reflecting the Contingent
Interest Payment for the second Review Date and the unpaid
Contingent Interest Payment for the first Review Date), but the
notes are not automatically called on any of the Review Dates
preceding the third Review Date because the closing price of one
share of the Reference Stock is less than the Initial Stock Price
on each of the Review Dates preceding the third Review Date.
Because the closing price of one share of the Reference Stock on
the third Review Date is greater than the Interest Barrier, the
investor is entitled to receive a Contingent Interest Payment in
connection with the third Review Date. In addition, because the
closing price of one share of the Reference Stock on the third
Review Date is greater than the Initial Stock Price, the notes are
automatically called. Accordingly, the investor receives a
payment of $1,037.25 per $1,000 principal amount note on the
relevant Call Settlement Date, consisting of a Contingent Interest
Payment of $37.25 per $1,000 principal amount note and repayment of
principal equal to $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.
As a result, the total amount paid on the notes over the term of
the notes is $1,111.75 per $1,000 principal amount note.
Example 3:
The notes are not automatically called prior to maturity,
Contingent Interest Payments are paid in connection with each of
the Review Dates preceding the final Review Date and the price of
one share of the Reference Stock increases from the Initial Stock
Price of $250 to a Final Stock Price of $300 — A Trigger Event has
not occurred. The investor receives a payment of $37.25 per
$1,000 principal amount note in connection with each of the Review
Dates preceding the final Review Date. Because the notes are not
automatically called prior to maturity and a Trigger Event has not
occurred, the investor receives at maturity a payment of $1,037.25
per $1,000 principal amount note. This payment consists of a
Contingent Interest Payment of $37.25 per $1,000 principal amount
note and repayment of principal equal to $1,000 per $1,000
principal amount note. The total amount paid on the notes over the
term of the notes is $1,149.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.
This represents the maximum total payment an investor may
receive over the term of the notes.
Example 4:
The notes are not automatically called prior to maturity, a
Contingent Interest Payment is paid in connection with the second
Review Date but not paid in connection with the first or third
Review Dates and the price of one share of the Reference Stock
decreases from the Initial Stock Price of $250 to a Final Stock
Price of $200 — A Trigger Event has not occurred. The investor
receives a payment of $74.50 per $1,000 principal amount note in
connection with the second Review Date (reflecting the Contingent
Interest Payment for the second Review Date and the unpaid
Contingent Interest Payment for the first Review Date). Because the
notes are not automatically called prior to maturity and a Trigger
Event has not occurred, even though the Final Stock Price is less
than the Initial Stock Price, the investor receives at maturity a
payment of $1,074.50 per $1,000 principal amount note. This payment
consists of Contingent Interest Payments of $74.50 per $1,000
principal amount note (reflecting the Contingent Interest Payment
for the final Review Date and the unpaid Contingent Interest
Payment for the third Review Date) and repayment of principal equal
to $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note. The total amount paid
on the notes over the term of the notes is $1,149.00 per $1,000
principal amount note. This represents the maximum total
payment an investor may receive over the term of the
notes.
Example 5:
The notes are not automatically called prior to maturity,
Contingent Interest Payments are paid in connection with each of
the Review Dates preceding the final Review Date and the price of
one share of the Reference Stock decreases from the Initial Stock
Price of $250 to a Final Stock Price of $100 — A Trigger Event has
occurred. The investor receives a payment of $37.25 per $1,000
principal amount note in connection with each of the Review Dates
preceding the final Review Date. Because the notes are not
automatically called prior to maturity, a Trigger Event has
occurred and the Stock Return is -60%, the investor receives a
payment at maturity of $400 per $1,000 principal amount note,
calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × -60%) = $400
JPMorgan Structured Investments -

of salesforce.com, inc. |
PS - 3
|
The total value
of the payments on the notes over the term of the notes is $511.75
per $1,000 principal amount note.
Example 6:
The notes are not automatically called prior to maturity, no
Contingent Interest Payments are paid in connection with the Review
Dates preceding the final Review Date and the price of one share of
the Reference Stock decreases from the Initial Stock Price of $250
to a Final Stock Price of $75 — A Trigger Event has occurred.
Because the notes are not automatically called prior to maturity,
no Contingent Interest Payments are paid in connection with the
Review Dates preceding the final Review Date, a Trigger Event has
occurred and the Stock Return is -70%, the investor receives no
payments over the term of the notes, other than a payment at
maturity of $300 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as
follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × -70%) = $300
The hypothetical
payments on the notes shown above apply only if you hold the
notes for their entire term or until automatically called.
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 payments shown above would
likely be lower.
Selected Purchase Considerations

● |
CONTINGENT INTEREST PAYMENTS — The notes offer the
potential to earn a Contingent Interest Payment in connection with
each Review Date of at least $37.25* per $1,000 principal amount
note. If the notes have not been automatically called and, (1) with
respect to any Review Date (other than the final Review Date), the
closing price of one share of the Reference Stock or, (2) with
respect to the final Review Date, the Final Stock Price is greater
than or equal to the Interest Barrier, you will receive on the
applicable Interest Payment Date a Contingent Interest Payment for
that Review Date plus any previously unpaid Contingent
Interest Payments for any prior Review Dates. If, (1) with respect
to any Review Date (other than the final Review Date), the closing
price of one share of the Reference Stock or, (2) with respect to
the final Review Date, the Final Stock Price is less than the
Contingent Interest Barrier, no Contingent Interest Payment will be
made with respect to that Review Date. You will not receive any
unpaid Contingent Interest Payments if the closing price of one
share of the Reference Stock or the Final Stock Price, as
applicable, on each subsequent Review Date is less than the
Interest Barrier. If the closing price of one share of the
Reference Stock or the Final Stock Price, as applicable, on each
Review Date is less than the Interest Barrier, you will not receive
any Contingent Interest Payments over the term of the notes. If
payable, a Contingent Interest Payment will be made to the holders
of record at the close of business on the business day immediately
preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date. 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. |
* The
actual Contingent Interest Payment will be provided in the pricing
supplement and will not be less than $37.25 per $1,000 principal
amount note.
|
● |
POTENTIAL EARLY EXIT AS A RESULT OF THE AUTOMATIC CALL
FEATURE — If the closing price of one share of the Reference
Stock on any Review Date (other than the final Review Date) is
greater than or equal to the Initial Stock Price, your notes will
be automatically called prior to the Maturity Date. Under these
circumstances, you will receive a cash payment, for each $1,000
principal amount note, equal to (a) $1,000 plus (b) the
Contingent Interest Payment applicable to that Review Date plus (c)
any previously unpaid Contingent Interest Payments for any prior
Review Dates, payable on the applicable Call Settlement Dates. Even
in cases where the notes are called before maturity, you are not
entitled to any fees and commissions described on the front cover
of this pricing supplement. |
|
● |
THE NOTES DO NOT GUARANTEE THE RETURN OF YOUR PRINCIPAL IF
THE NOTES HAVE NOT BEEN AUTOMATICALLY CALLED — If the notes
have not been automatically called, we will pay you your principal
back at maturity only if a Trigger Event has not occurred.
However, if the notes have not been automatically called and a
Trigger Event has occurred, you will lose some or all of the
principal amount of your notes at maturity. |
|
● |
RETURN LINKED TO A SINGLE REFERENCE STOCK — The return
on the notes is linked to the performance of a single Reference
Stock, which is the common stock of Salesforce. For additional
information see “The Reference Stock” in this pricing
supplement. |
|
● |
TAX TREATMENT — You should review carefully the section
entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the
accompanying product supplement no. 4-II. In determining our
reporting responsibilities we intend to treat (i) the notes for
U.S. federal income tax purposes as prepaid forward contracts with
associated contingent coupons and (ii) any Contingent Interest
Payments as ordinary income, as described in the section entitled
“Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Tax Consequences
to U.S. Holders — Notes Treated as Prepaid Forward Contracts with
Associated Contingent Coupons” in the accompanying product
supplement. Based on the advice of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP,
our special tax counsel, we believe that this is a reasonable
treatment, but that there are other reasonable treatments that the
IRS or a court may adopt, in which case the timing and character of
any income or loss on the notes could be materially affected. In
addition, in 2007 Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting
comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid
forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in
particular on whether to require investors in these instruments to
accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for
comments on a number of related topics, including the character of
income or loss with respect to these instruments and the relevance
of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which
the instruments are linked. While the notice requests comments on
appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury
regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of
these issues could materially affect the tax consequences of an
investment in the notes, possibly with retroactive effect. The
discussions above and in the accompanying product supplement do not
address the consequences to taxpayers subject to special tax
accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code. You should
consult your tax adviser |
JPMorgan Structured Investments -
Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Common Stock
of salesforce.com, inc. |
PS - 4
|
regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment
in the notes, including possible alternative treatments and the
issues presented by the notice described above.
Non-U.S. Holders — Tax Considerations. The U.S.
federal income tax treatment of Contingent Interest Payments is
uncertain, and although we believe it is reasonable to take a
position that Contingent Interest Payments are not subject to U.S.
withholding tax (at least if an applicable Form W-8 is provided), a
withholding agent may nonetheless withhold on these payments
(generally at a rate of 30%, subject to the possible reduction of
that rate under an applicable income tax treaty), unless income
from your notes is effectively connected with your conduct of a
trade or business in the United States (and, if an applicable
treaty so requires, attributable to a permanent establishment in
the United States). If you are not a United States person, you are
urged to consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income
tax consequences of an investment in the notes in light of your
particular circumstances.
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, 2023 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.
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.
Selected Risk Considerations
An investment in
the notes involves significant risks. Investing in the notes is not
equivalent to investing directly in the Reference Stock. These
risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” sections
of the accompanying prospectus supplement and accompanying product
supplement.
|
● |
YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS — The
notes do not guarantee any return of principal. If the notes have
not been automatically called and a Trigger Event has occurred, you
will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes at maturity for
every 1% that the Final Stock Price is less than the Initial Stock
Price. Under these circumstances, you will lose more than 20.00% of
your principal amount at maturity and could lose all of the
principal amount of your notes at maturity. |
|
● |
THE NOTES DO NOT GUARANTEE THE PAYMENT OF INTEREST AND MAY
NOT PAY ANY INTEREST AT ALL — The terms of the notes differ
from those of conventional debt securities in that, among other
things, whether we pay interest is linked to the performance of the
Reference Stock. Contingent Interest Payments should not be viewed
as periodic interest payments. If the notes have not been
automatically called and if, (1) with respect to any Review Date
(other than the final Review Date), the closing price of one share
of the Reference Stock or, (2) with respect to the final Review
Date, the Final Stock Price is greater than or equal to the
Interest Barrier, we will make a Contingent Interest Payment with
respect to that Review Date (and will pay you any previously unpaid
Contingent Interest Payments for any prior Review Dates). If, (1)
with respect to any Review Date (other than the final Review Date),
the closing price of one share of the Reference Stock or, (2) with
respect to the final Review Date, the Final Stock Price is less
than the Contingent Interest Barrier, no Contingent Interest
Payment will be made with respect to that Review Date. You will not
receive any unpaid Contingent Interest Payments if the closing
price of one share of the Reference Stock or the Final Stock Price,
as applicable, on each subsequent Review Date is less than the
Interest Barrier. Accordingly, if, (1) with respect to any Review
Date (other than the final Review Date), the closing price of one
share of the Reference Stock or, (2) with respect to the final
Review Date, the Final Stock Price is less than the Interest
Barrier, you will not receive any Contingent Interest Payments over
the term of the notes. |
|
● |
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. |
|
● |
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 |
JPMorgan Structured Investments -
Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Common Stock
of salesforce.com, inc. |
PS - 5
|
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.
|
● |
THE AUTOMATIC CALL FEATURE MAY FORCE A POTENTIAL EARLY
EXIT — If the notes are automatically called, the amount of
Contingent Interest Payments made on the notes may be less than the
amount of Contingent Interest Payments that might have been payable
if the notes were held to maturity, and, for each $1,000 principal
amount note, you will receive on the applicable Call Settlement
Date $1,000 plus the Contingent Interest Payment applicable
to the relevant Review Date plus any previously unpaid
Contingent Interest Payments for any prior Review Dates. |
|
● |
REINVESTMENT RISK — If your notes are automatically
called, the term of the notes may be reduced to as short as
approximately three months and you will not receive any Contingent
Interest Payments after the applicable Call Settlement Date. There
is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds
from an investment in the notes at a comparable return and/or with
a comparable interest rate for a similar level of risk in the event
the notes are automatically called prior to the Maturity Date. |
|
● |
THE APPRECIATION POTENTIAL OF THE NOTES IS LIMITED, AND YOU
WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY APPRECIATION OF THE REFERENCE STOCK
— The appreciation potential of the notes is limited to the sum
of any Contingent Interest Payments that may be paid over the term
of the notes, regardless of any appreciation of the Reference
Stock, which may be significant. You will not participate in any
appreciation of the Reference Stock. Accordingly, the return on the
notes may be significantly less than the return on a direct
investment in the Reference Stock during the term of the
notes. |
|
● |
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.
We and/or our affiliates may also currently or from time to time
engage in business with Salesforce, including extending loans to,
or making equity investments in, Salesforce or providing advisory
services to Salesforce. In addition, one or more of our affiliates
may publish research reports or otherwise express opinions with
respect to Salesforce, and these reports may or may not recommend
that investors buy or hold the Reference Stock. As a prospective
purchaser of the notes, you should undertake an independent
investigation of the Reference Stock issuer that in your judgment
is appropriate to make an informed decision with respect to an
investment in the notes. |
|
● |
THE BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE TRIGGER LEVEL MAY TERMINATE ON
THE FINAL ENDING AVERAGING DATE — If the Final Stock Price is
less than the Trigger Level and the notes have not been
automatically called, the benefit provided by the Trigger Level
will terminate and you will be fully exposed to any depreciation of
the Reference Stock. |
|
● |
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 — 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 |
JPMorgan Structured Investments -
Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Common Stock
of salesforce.com, inc. |
PS - 6
|
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
Maturity 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 Reference Stock, including: |
|
● |
any actual or potential change in our or JPMorgan Chase &
Co.’s creditworthiness or credit spreads; |
|
● |
customary bid-ask spreads for similarly sized trades; |
|
● |
our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt
issuances; |
|
● |
the actual and expected volatility of the Reference Stock; |
|
● |
the time to maturity of the notes; |
|
● |
whether the closing price of one share of the Reference Stock
or Final Stock Price, as applicable, has been, or is expected to
be, less than the Interest Barrier on any Review Date and whether a
Trigger Event is expected to occur; |
|
● |
the likelihood of an automatic call being triggered; |
|
● |
the dividend rate on the Reference Stock; |
|
● |
interest and yield rates in the market generally; |
|
● |
the occurrence of certain events affecting the issuer of the
Reference Stock that may or may not require an adjustment to the
Stock Adjustment Factor, including a merger or acquisition;
and |
|
● |
a variety of other economic, financial, political, regulatory
and judicial events. |
Additionally, independent pricing vendors and/or third party
broker-dealers may publish a price for the 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.
|
● |
NO OWNERSHIP OR DIVIDEND RIGHTS IN THE REFERENCE STOCK—
As a holder of the notes, you will not have any ownership interest
or rights in the Reference Stock, such as voting rights or dividend
payments. In addition, the issuer of the Reference Stock will not
have any obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the
notes in taking any corporate action that might affect the value of
the Reference Stock and the notes. |
|
● |
NO AFFILIATION WITH THE REFERENCE STOCK ISSUER — We are
not affiliated with the issuer of the Reference Stock. We assume no
responsibility for the adequacy of the information about the
Reference Stock issuer contained in this pricing supplement. You
should undertake your own investigation into the Reference Stock
and its issuer. We are not responsible for the Reference Stock
issuer’s public disclosure of information, whether contained in SEC
filings or otherwise. |
|
● |
SINGLE STOCK RISK — The price of the Reference Stock can
fall sharply due to factors specific to the Reference Stock and its
issuer, such as stock price volatility, earnings, financial
conditions, corporate, industry and regulatory developments,
management changes and decisions and other events, as well as
general market factors, such as general stock market volatility and
levels, interest rates and economic and political conditions. |
|
● |
VOLATILITY RISK — Greater expected volatility with
respect to the Reference Stock indicates a greater likelihood as of
the Pricing Date that the closing price of one share of the
Reference Stock or the Final Stock Price, as applicable, could be
below the Interest Barrier on any Review Date or below the Trigger
Level on the Final Review Date. The Reference Stock’s volatility,
however, can change significantly over the term of the notes. The
price of one share of the Reference Stock could fall sharply at any
time during the term of the notes, which could result in the loss
of one or more, or all, Contingent Interest Payments or a
significant loss of principal. |
|
● |
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
not 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. |
|
● |
THE ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION FOR THE REFERENCE STOCK IS
LIMITED AND MAY BE DISCRETIONARY — The calculation agent will
make adjustments to the Stock Adjustment Factor for certain
corporate events affecting the Reference Stock. However, the
calculation agent will not make an adjustment in response to all
events that could affect the Reference Stock. 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.
You should also be aware that the calculation agent may make |
JPMorgan Structured Investments -

of salesforce.com, inc. |
PS - 7
|
adjustments in response to events that are not described in the
accompanying product supplement to account for any diluting or
concentrative effect, but the calculation agent is under no
obligation to do so or to consider your interests as a holder of
the notes in making these determinations.
|
● |
THE FINAL TERMS AND VALUATION OF THE NOTES WILL BE PROVIDED
IN THE PRICING SUPPLEMENT — The final terms of the notes will
be based on relevant market conditions when the terms of the notes
are set and will be provided in the pricing supplement. In
particular, each of the estimated value of the notes and the
Contingent Interest Payment will be provided in the pricing
supplement and each may be as low as the applicable minimum set
forth on the cover of this pricing supplement. Accordingly, you
should consider your potential investment in the notes based on the
minimums for the estimated value of the notes and the Contingent
Interest Payment. |

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. See “Selected Risk
Considerations — 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 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. We or one or more of our affiliates will retain any profits
realized in hedging our obligations under the notes. 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 “Selected Risk Considerations — Secondary Market Prices
of the Notes Will Be Impacted by Many Economic and Market Factors”
in this pricing 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 that 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.
Supplemental Plan of Distribution
We expect that
delivery of the notes will be made against payment for the notes on
or about the Original Issue Date set forth on the front cover of
this pricing supplement, which will be the third business day
following the Pricing Date of the notes (this settlement cycle
being referred to as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market
generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the
parties to that trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly,
purchasers who wish to trade notes on any date prior to two
business days before delivery will be required to specify an
alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent
a failed settlement and should consult their own advisors.
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 Are the Payments on the Notes, Assuming a Range of
Performances for the Reference Stock?” and “Hypothetical Examples
of Amounts Payable on the Notes” in this pricing supplement for an
illustration of the risk-return profile of the notes and “The
Reference Stock” 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.
