JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC
Structured Investments
Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the MerQube US
Large-Cap Vol Advantage Index due October 29, 2027
Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by JPMorgan
Chase & Co.
|
· |
The notes are designed for investors who seek a Contingent
Interest Payment with respect to each Review Date for which the
closing level of the MerQube US Large-Cap Vol Advantage Index,
which we refer to as the Index, is greater than or equal to 40.00%
of the Initial Value, which we refer to as the Interest
Barrier. |
|
· |
The notes will be automatically called if the closing level of
the Index on any Review Date (other than the first, second, third
and final Review Dates) is greater than or equal to the Initial
Value. |
|
· |
The earliest date on which an automatic call may be initiated
is October 26, 2023. |
|
· |
Investors should be willing to accept the risk of losing some
or all of their principal and the risk that no Contingent Interest
Payment may be made with respect to some or all Review Dates. |
|
· |
Investors should also be willing to forgo fixed interest and
dividend payments, in exchange for the opportunity to receive
Contingent Interest Payments. |
|
· |
The Index is subject to a 6.0% per annum daily deduction.
This daily deduction will offset any appreciation of the futures
contracts included in the Index, will heighten any depreciation of
those futures contracts and will generally be a drag on the
performance of the Index. The Index will trail the performance of
an identical index without a deduction. See “Selected Risk
Considerations — Risks Relating to the Notes Generally — The Level
of the Index Will Include a 6.0% per Annum Daily Deduction” in this
pricing supplement. |
|
· |
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. |
|
· |
Minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples
thereof |
|
· |
The notes are expected to price on or about October 26, 2022
and are expected to settle on or about October 31, 2022. |
Investing in the notes involves a number of risks. See “Risk
Factors” beginning on page S-2 of the accompanying prospectus
supplement, “Risk Factors” beginning on page PS-12 of the
accompanying product supplement, “Risk Factors” beginning on page
US-3 of the accompanying underlying supplement and “Selected Risk
Considerations” beginning on page PS-6 of this pricing
supplement.

state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the
notes or passed upon the accuracy or the adequacy of this pricing
supplement or the accompanying product supplement, underlying
supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus. Any
representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Automatic Call:
If the
closing level of the Index on any Review Date (other than the
first, second, third and final Review Dates) is greater than or
equal to the Initial Value, the notes will be automatically called
for 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, payable on the applicable Call
Settlement Date. No further payments will be made on the notes.
Payment at Maturity:
If the
notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value is
greater than or equal to the Trigger Value, you will receive a cash
payment at maturity, for each $1,000 principal amount note, equal
to (a) $1,000 plus (b) the Contingent Interest Payment
applicable to the final Review Date.
If the
notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value is
less than the Trigger Value, your payment at maturity per $1,000
principal amount note will be calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × Index Return)
If
the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value is
less than the Trigger Value, you will lose more than 60.00% of your
principal amount at maturity and could lose all of your principal
amount at maturity.

Large-Cap Vol Advantage Index

The MerQube US Large-Cap Vol Advantage Index
The MerQube US Large-Cap Vol
Advantage Index (the “Index”) was developed by MerQube (the “Index
Sponsor” and “Index Calculation Agent”), in coordination with JPMS,
and is maintained by the Index Sponsor and is calculated and
published by the Index Calculation Agent. The Index was established
on February 11, 2022. In
September 2021, an affiliate of ours purchased a 10% equity
interest in the Index Sponsor, with a right to appoint an employee
of JPMS, another of our affiliates, as a member of the board of
directors of the Index Sponsor.
The Index attempts to provide
a dynamic rules-based exposure to an unfunded rolling position in
E-mini® S&P 500® futures (the “Futures
Contracts”), which reference the S&P 500® Index,
while targeting a level of implied volatility, with a maximum
exposure to the Futures Contracts of 500% and a minimum exposure to
the Futures Contracts of 0%. The Index is subject to a 6.0% per
annum daily deduction. The S&P 500® Index consists
of stocks of 500 companies selected to provide a performance
benchmark for the U.S. equity markets. For more information about
the Futures Contracts and the S&P 500® Index, see
“Background on E-mini® S&P 500® Futures”
and “Background on the S&P 500® Index,”
respectively, in the accompanying underlying supplement.
On each weekly Index
rebalance day, the exposure to the Futures Contracts is set equal
to (a) the 35% implied volatility target (the “target volatility”)
divided by (b) the one-week implied volatility of the
SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust (the “SPY
Fund”), subject to a maximum exposure of 500%. For example, if the
implied volatility of the SPY Fund is equal to 17.5%, the exposure
to the Futures Contracts will equal 200% (or 35% / 17.5%) and if
the implied volatility of the SPY Fund is equal to 40%, the
exposure to the Futures Contracts will equal 87.5% (or 35% / 40%).
The Index’s exposure to the Futures Contracts will be greater than
100% when the implied volatility of the SPY Fund is below 35%, and
the Index’s exposure to the Futures Contracts will be less than
100% when the implied volatility of the SPY Fund is above 35%. In
general, the Index’s target volatility feature is expected to
result in the volatility of the Index being more stable over time
than if no target volatility feature were employed. No assurance
can be provided that the volatility of the Index will be stable at
any time.
The investment objective of
the SPY Fund is to provide investment results that, before
expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance
of the S&P 500® Index. For more information about
the SPY Fund, see “Background on the SPDR® S&P
500® ETF Trust” in the accompanying underlying
supplement. The Index uses the implied volatility of the SPY Fund
as a proxy for the volatility of the Futures Contracts.
The 6.0% per annum daily
deduction will offset any appreciation of the Futures Contracts,
will heighten any depreciation of the Futures Contracts and will
generally be a drag on the performance of the Index. The Index will
trail the performance of an identical index without a
deduction.
Holding the estimated value
of the notes and market conditions constant, the Contingent
Interest Rate, the Interest Barrier, the Trigger Value and the
other economic terms available on the notes are more favorable to
investors than the terms that would be available on a hypothetical
note issued by us linked to an identical index without a daily
deduction. However, there can be no assurance that any
improvement in the terms of the notes derived from the daily
deduction will offset the negative effect of the daily deduction on
the performance of the Index. The return on the notes may be
lower than the return on a hypothetical note issued by us linked to
an identical index without a daily deduction.
The daily deduction and the
volatility of the Index (as influenced by the Index’s target
volatility feature) are two of the primary variables that affect
the economic terms of the notes. Additionally, the daily
deduction and volatility of the Index are two of the inputs our
affiliates’ internal pricing models use to value the derivative or
derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes for purposes
of determining the estimated value of the notes set forth on the
cover of this pricing supplement. The daily deduction will
effectively reduce the value of the derivative or derivatives
underlying the economic terms of the notes. See “The
Estimated Value of the Notes” and “Selected Risk Considerations —
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices
of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
The Index is subject to risks associated with the use of
significant leverage. In addition, the Index may be significantly
uninvested on any given day, and, in that case, will realize only a
portion of any gains due to appreciation of the Futures Contracts
on that day. The index deduction is deducted daily at a rate of
6.0% per annum, even when the Index is not fully invested.
No assurance can be given that the investment strategy used to
construct the Index will achieve its intended results or that the
Index will be successful or will outperform any alternative index
or strategy that might reference the Futures Contracts.
For additional information about the Index, see “The MerQube US
Large-Cap Vol Advantage Index” in the accompanying underlying
supplement.

Supplemental Terms of the Notes
The notes are not commodity futures contracts or swaps and are
not regulated under the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as amended
(the “Commodity Exchange Act”). The notes are offered pursuant
to an exemption from regulation under the Commodity Exchange Act,
commonly known as the hybrid instrument exemption, that is
available to securities that have one or more payments indexed to
the value, level or rate of one or more commodities, as set out in
section 2(f) of that statute. Accordingly, you are not afforded any
protection provided by the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulation
promulgated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

Hypothetical Payout Examples
The following examples illustrate payments on the notes linked to a
hypothetical Index, assuming a range of performances for the
hypothetical Index on the Review Dates. The hypothetical payments
set forth below assume the following:
|
· |
an Initial Value of 100.00; |
|
· |
an Interest Barrier and a Trigger Value of 40.00 (equal to
40.00% of the hypothetical Initial Value); and |
|
· |
a Contingent Interest Rate of 8.50% per annum (payable at a
rate of 2.125% per quarter). |
The hypothetical Initial Value of 100.00 has been chosen for
illustrative purposes only and may not represent a likely actual
Initial Value. The actual Initial Value will be the closing level
of the Index on the Pricing Date and will be provided in the
pricing supplement. For historical data regarding the actual
closing levels of the Index, please see the historical information
set forth under “Hypothetical Back-Tested Data and Historical
Information” in this pricing supplement.
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
examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.
Example 1 — Notes are automatically called on the fourth Review
Date.
Date |
Closing Level |
Payment (per $1,000 principal amount
note) |
First Review Date |

$21.25 |
Second Review Date |

Third Review Date |
120.00 |
$21.25 |
Fourth Review Date |
110.00 |
$1,021.25 |
|
Total Payment |
$1,085.00 (8.50% return) |
Because the closing level of the Index on the fourth Review Date is
greater than or equal to the Initial Value, the notes will be
automatically called for a cash payment, for each $1,000 principal
amount note, of $1,021.25 (or $1,000 plus the Contingent
Interest Payment applicable to the fourth Review Date), payable on
the applicable Call Settlement Date. The notes are not
automatically callable before the fourth Review Date, even though
the closing level of the Index on each of the first, second and
third Review Dates is greater than the Initial Value. When added to
the Contingent Interest Payments received with respect to the prior
Review Dates, the total amount paid, for each $1,000 principal
amount note, is $1,085.00. No further payments will be made on the
notes.
Example 2 — Notes have NOT been automatically called and the
Final Value is greater than or equal to the Trigger Value.
Date |

note) |

$0 |
Final Review Date |
90.00 |
$1,021.25 |
|
Total Payment |
$1,063.75 (6.375% return) |
Because the notes have not been automatically called and the Final
Value is greater than or equal to the Trigger Value, the payment at
maturity, for each $1,000 principal amount note, will be $1,021.25
(or $1,000 plus the Contingent Interest Payment applicable
to the final Review Date). When added to the Contingent Interest
Payments received with respect to the prior Review Dates, the total
amount paid, for each $1,000 principal amount note, is
$1,063.75.
Example
3 — Notes have NOT been automatically called and the Final Value is
less than the Trigger Value.

$0 |
Final Review Date |
30.00 |
$300.00 |
|
Total Payment |
$300.00 (-70.00% return) |
Because the notes have not been automatically called, the Final
Value is less than the Trigger Value and the Index Return is
-70.00%, the payment at maturity will be $300.00 per $1,000
principal amount note, calculated as follows:

|
 |
$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-70.00%)] = $300.00
The hypothetical returns and 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 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, product supplement and
underlying supplement.
Risks Relating to the Notes Generally
|
· |
YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS — |
The notes do not guarantee any return of principal. If the notes
have not been automatically called and the Final Value is less than
the Trigger Value, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your
notes for every 1% that the Final Value is less than the Initial
Value. Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose more
than 60.00% of your principal amount at maturity and could lose all
of your principal amount at maturity.
|
· |
THE NOTES DO NOT GUARANTEE THE PAYMENT OF INTEREST AND MAY
NOT PAY ANY INTEREST AT ALL — |
If the notes have not been automatically called, we will make a
Contingent Interest Payment with respect to a Review Date only if
the closing level of the Index on that Review Date is greater than
or equal to the Interest Barrier. If the closing level of the Index
on that Review Date is less than the Interest Barrier, no
Contingent Interest Payment will be made with respect to that
Review Date. Accordingly, if the closing level of the Index on each
Review Date is less than the Interest Barrier, you will not receive
any interest payments over the term of the notes.
|
· |
THE LEVEL OF THE INDEX WILL INCLUDE A 6.0% PER ANNUM DAILY
DEDUCTION — |
The Index is subject to a 6.0% per annum daily deduction. The level
of the Index will trail the value of an identically constituted
synthetic portfolio that is not subject to any such deduction.
The index deduction will place a significant drag on the
performance of the Index, potentially offsetting positive returns
on the Index’s investment strategy, exacerbating negative returns
of its investment strategy and causing the level of the Index to
decline steadily if the return of its investment strategy is
relatively flat. The Index will not appreciate unless the return of
its investment strategy is sufficient to offset the negative
effects of the index deduction, and then only to the extent that
the return of its investment strategy is greater than the index
deduction. As a result of the index deduction, the level of the
Index may decline even if the return of its investment strategy is
positive.
The daily deduction is one of the inputs our affiliates’ internal
pricing models use to value the derivative or derivatives
underlying the economic terms of the notes for purposes of
determining the estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover
of this pricing supplement. The daily deduction will effectively
reduce the value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the
economic terms of the notes. See “The Estimated Value of the Notes”
and “— Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market
Prices of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
|
· |
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.

|
· |
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 Index, which may be
significant. You will not participate in any appreciation of the
Index.
|
· |
THE BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE TRIGGER VALUE MAY TERMINATE ON
THE FINAL REVIEW DATE — |
If the Final Value is less than the Trigger Value and the notes
have not been automatically called, the benefit provided by the
Trigger Value will terminate and you will be fully exposed to any
depreciation of the Index.
|
· |
THE AUTOMATIC CALL FEATURE MAY FORCE A POTENTIAL EARLY EXIT
— |
If your notes are automatically called, the term of the notes may
be reduced to as short as approximately one year 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. 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.
|
· |
YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE DIVIDENDS OR OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS ON THE
SECURITIES UNDERLYING THE S&P 500® INDEX OR HAVE ANY
RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THOSE SECURITIES OR THE FUTURES CONTRACTS
UNDERLYING THE INDEX. |
|
· |
THE RISK OF THE CLOSING LEVEL OF THE INDEX FALLING BELOW THE
INTEREST BARRIER OR THE TRIGGER VALUE IS GREATER IF THE LEVEL OF
THE INDEX IS VOLATILE. |
|
· |
JPMS AND ITS AFFILIATES MAY HAVE PUBLISHED RESEARCH,
EXPRESSED OPINIONS OR PROVIDED RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE
INCONSISTENT WITH INVESTING IN OR HOLDING THE NOTES, AND MAY DO SO
IN THE FUTURE — |
Any research, opinions or recommendations could affect the market
value of the notes. Investors should undertake their own
independent investigation of the merits of investing in the notes,
the Index and the futures contracts composing the Index.
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.
|
· |
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 Interest Rate.
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.
In September 2021, an affiliate of ours purchased a 10% equity
interest in the Index Sponsor, with a right to appoint an employee
of JPMS, another of our affiliates, as a member of the board of
directors of the Index Sponsor. The Index Sponsor can implement
policies, make judgments or enact changes to the Index methodology
that could negatively affect the performance of the Index. The
Index Sponsor can also alter, discontinue or suspend calculation or
dissemination of the Index. Any of these actions could adversely
affect the value of the notes. The Index Sponsor has no obligation
to consider your interests in calculating, maintaining or revising
the Index, and we, JPMS, our other affiliates and our respective
employees are under no obligation to consider your interests as an
investor in the notes in connection with the role of our affiliate
as an owner of an equity interest in the Index Sponsor or the role
of an employee of JPMS as a member of the board of directors of the
Index Sponsor.
In addition, JPMS worked with the Index Sponsor in developing the
guidelines and policies governing the composition and calculation
of the Index. Although judgments, policies and determinations
concerning the Index were made by JPMS, JPMorgan Chase & Co.,
as the parent company of JPMS, ultimately controls JPMS. The
policies and judgments for which JPMS was

responsible could have an impact, positive or negative, on the
level of the Index and the value of your notes. JPMS is under no
obligation to consider your interests as an investor in the notes
in its role in developing the guidelines and policies governing the
Index or making judgments that may affect the level of the
Index.
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 — |
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 level of the Index. 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.

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.
|
· |
THE INDEX MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL OR OUTPERFORM ANY
ALTERNATIVE STRATEGY THAT MIGHT BE EMPLOYED IN RESPECT OF THE
FUTURES CONTRACTS — |
No assurance can be given that the investment strategy on which the
Index is based will be successful or that the Index will outperform
any alternative strategy that might be employed with respect to the
Futures Contracts.
|
· |
THE INDEX MAY NOT APPROXIMATE ITS TARGET VOLATILITY
— |
No assurance can be given that the Index will maintain an
annualized realized volatility that approximates its target
volatility of 35%. The Index’s target volatility is a level of
implied volatility and therefore the actual realized volatility of
the Index may be greater or less than the target volatility. On
each weekly Index rebalance day, the Index’s exposure to the
Futures Contracts is set equal to (a) the 35% volatility target
divided by (b) the one-week implied volatility of the SPY Fund,
subject to a maximum exposure of 500%. The Index uses the implied
volatility of the SPY Fund as a proxy for the volatility of the
Futures Contracts. However, there is no guarantee that the
methodology used by the Index to determine the implied volatility
of the SPY Fund will be representative of the implied or realized
volatility of the Futures Contracts. The performance of the SPY
Fund may not correlate with the performance of the Futures
Contracts, particularly during periods of market volatility. In
addition, the volatility of the Futures Contracts on any day may
change quickly and unexpectedly and realized volatility may differ
significantly from implied volatility. In general, over time, the
realized volatilities of the SPY Fund and the Futures Contracts
have tended to be lower than their respective implied volatilities;
however, at any time those realized volatilities may exceed their
respective implied volatilities, particularly during periods of
market volatility. Accordingly, the actual realized annualized
volatility of the Index may be greater than or less than the target
volatility, which may adversely affect the level of the Index and
the value of the notes.
|
· |
THE INDEX IS SUBJECT TO RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF
SIGNIFICANT LEVERAGE — |
On a weekly Index rebalance day, the Index will employ leverage to
increase the exposure of the Index to the Futures Contracts if the
implied volatility of the SPY Fund is below 35%, subject to a
maximum exposure of 500%. Under normal market conditions in the
past, the SPY Fund has tended to exhibit an implied volatility
below 35%. Accordingly, the Index has generally employed leverage
in the past, except during periods of elevated volatility. When
leverage is employed, any movements in the prices of the Futures
Contracts will result in greater changes in the level of the Index
than if leverage were not used. In particular, the use of leverage
will magnify any negative performance of the Futures Contracts,
which, in turn, would negatively affect the performance of the
Index. Because the Index’s leverage is adjusted only on a weekly
basis, in situations where a significant increase in volatility is
accompanied by a significant decline in the value of the Futures
Contracts, the level of the Index may decline significantly before
the following Index rebalance day when the Index’s exposure to the
Futures Contracts would be reduced.
|
· |
THE INDEX MAY BE SIGNIFICANTLY UNINVESTED — |
On a weekly Index rebalance day, the Index’s exposure to the
Futures Contracts will be less than 100% when the implied
volatility of the SPY Fund is above 35%. If the Index’s exposure to
the Futures Contracts is less than 100%, the Index will not be
fully invested, and any uninvested portion will earn no return. The
Index may be significantly uninvested on any given day, and will
realize only a portion of any gains due to appreciation of the
Futures Contracts on any such day. The 6.0% per annum deduction is
deducted daily, even when the Index is not fully invested.
|
· |
THE INDEX MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF LATER FUTURES
CONTRACTS HAVE HIGHER PRICES THAN AN EXPIRING FUTURES CONTRACT
INCLUDED IN THE INDEX — |
As the Futures Contracts included in the Index come to expiration,
they are replaced by Futures Contracts that expire three months
later. This is accomplished by synthetically selling the expiring
Futures Contract and synthetically purchasing the Futures Contract
that expires three months from that time. This process is referred
to as “rolling.” Excluding other considerations, if the market for
the Futures Contracts is in “contango,” where the prices are higher
in the distant delivery months than in the nearer delivery months,
the purchase of the later Futures Contract would take place at a
price that is higher than the price of the expiring Futures
Contract, thereby creating a negative “roll yield.” In addition,
excluding other considerations, if the market for the Futures
Contracts is in “backwardation,” where the prices are lower in the
distant delivery months than in the nearer delivery months, the
purchase of the later Futures Contract would take place at a price
that is lower than the price of the expiring Futures Contract,
thereby creating a positive “roll yield.” The presence of contango
in the market for the Futures Contracts could adversely affect the
level of the Index and, accordingly, any payment on the notes.

|
· |
THE INDEX IS AN EXCESS RETURN INDEX THAT DOES NOT REFLECT
“TOTAL RETURNS” — |
The Index is an excess return
index that does not reflect total returns. The return from
investing in futures contracts derives from three sources: (a)
changes in the price of the relevant futures contracts (which is
known as the “price return”); (b) any profit or loss realized when
rolling the relevant futures contracts (which is known as the “roll
return”); and (c) any interest earned on the cash deposited as
collateral for the purchase of the relevant futures contracts
(which is known as the “collateral return”).
The Index measures the
returns accrued from investing in uncollateralized futures
contracts (i.e., the sum of the price return and the roll
return associated with an investment in the Futures Contracts). By
contrast, a total return index, in addition to reflecting those
returns, would also reflect interest that could be earned on funds
committed to the trading of the Futures Contracts (i.e., the
collateral return associated with an investment in the Futures
Contracts). Investing in the notes will not generate the same
return as would be generated from investing in a total return index
related to the Futures Contracts.
|
· |
CONCENTRATION RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INDEX MAY ADVERSELY
AFFECT THE VALUE OF YOUR NOTES — |
The Index generally provides exposure to a single futures contract
on the S&P 500® Index that trades on the Chicago
Mercantile Exchange. Accordingly, the notes are less diversified
than other funds, investment portfolios or indices investing in or
tracking a broader range of products and, therefore, could
experience greater volatility. You should be aware that other
indices may be more diversified than the Indices in terms of both
the number and variety of futures contracts. You will not benefit,
with respect to the notes, from any of the advantages of a
diversified investment and will bear the risks of a highly
concentrated investment.
|
· |
THE INDEX IS SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH
FUTURES CONTRACTS, INCLUDING VOLATILITY — |
The Index tracks the returns of futures contracts. The price of a
futures contract depends not only on the price of the underlying
asset referenced by the futures contract, but also on a range of
other factors, including but not limited to changing supply and
demand relationships, interest rates, governmental and regulatory
policies and the policies of the exchanges on which the futures
contracts trade. In addition, the futures markets are subject to
temporary distortions or other disruptions due to various factors,
including the lack of liquidity in the markets, the participation
of speculators and government regulation and intervention. These
factors and others can cause the prices of futures contracts to be
volatile.
|
· |
SUSPENSION OR DISRUPTIONS OF MARKET TRADING IN FUTURES
CONTRACTS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF YOUR NOTES — |
Futures markets like the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the market
for the Futures Contracts, are subject to temporary distortions or
other disruptions due to various factors, including the lack of
liquidity in the markets, the participation of speculators, and
government regulation and intervention. In addition, futures
exchanges have regulations that limit the amount of fluctuation in
some futures contract prices that may occur during a single day.
These limits are generally referred to as “daily price fluctuation
limits” and the maximum or minimum price of a contract on any given
day as a result of these limits is referred to as a “limit price.”
Once the limit price has been reached in a particular contract, no
trades may be made at a price beyond the limit, or trading may be
limited for a set period of time. Limit prices have the effect of
precluding trading in a particular contract or forcing the
liquidation of contracts at potentially disadvantageous times or
prices. These circumstances could affect the level of the Index and
therefore could affect adversely the value of your notes.
|
· |
THE OFFICIAL SETTLEMENT PRICE AND INTRADAY TRADING PRICES OF
THE RELEVANT FUTURES CONTRACTS MAY NOT BE READILY AVAILABLE
— |
The official settlement price and intraday trading prices of the
Futures Contracts are calculated and published by the Chicago
Mercantile Exchange and are used to calculate the levels of the
Index. Any disruption in trading of the Futures Contracts could
delay the release or availability of the official settlement price
and intraday trading prices and may delay or prevent the
calculation of the Index.
|
· |
CHANGES IN THE MARGIN REQUIREMENTS FOR THE FUTURES CONTRACTS
INCLUDED IN THE INDEX MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES
— |
Futures exchanges require market participants to post collateral in
order to open and to keep open positions in futures contracts. If
an exchange changes the amount of collateral required to be posted
to hold positions in the Futures Contracts, market participants may
adjust their positions, which may affect the prices of the Futures
Contracts. As a result, the level of the Index may be affected,
which may adversely affect the value of the notes.

The following graph sets
forth the hypothetical back-tested performance of the Index based
on the hypothetical back-tested weekly closing levels of the Index
from January 6, 2017 through February 4, 2022, and the historical
performance of the Index based on the weekly historical closing

2022. The Index was established on February 11, 2022 as represented
by the vertical line in the following graph. All data to the left
of that vertical line reflect hypothetical back-tested performance
of the Index. All data to the right of that vertical line reflect
actual historical performance of the Index. The closing level of
the Index on September 28, 2022 was 2,261.11. We obtained the
closing levels above and below from the Bloomberg
Professional® service (“Bloomberg”), without independent
verification.
The data for the hypothetical
back-tested performance of the Index set forth in the following
graph are purely theoretical and do not represent the actual
historical performance of the Index. See “Selected Risk
Considerations — Risks Relating to the Index — Hypothetical
Back-Tested Data Relating to the Index Do Not Represent Actual
Historical Data and Are Subject to Inherent Limitations”
above.
The hypothetical back-tested and historical closing levels of the
Index should not be taken as an indication of future performance,
and no assurance can be given as to the closing level of the Index
on the Pricing Date or any Review Date. There can be no assurance
that the performance of the Index will result in the return of any
of your principal amount or the payment of any interest.

The hypothetical back-tested closing levels of the Index have
inherent limitations and have not been verified by an independent
third party. These hypothetical back-tested closing levels are
determined by means of a retroactive application of a back-tested
model designed with the benefit of hindsight. Hypothetical
back-tested results are neither an indicator nor a guarantee of
future returns. No representation is made that an investment in the
notes will or is likely to achieve returns similar to those shown.
Alternative modeling techniques or assumptions would produce
different hypothetical back-tested closing levels of the Index that
might prove to be more appropriate and that might differ
significantly from the hypothetical back-tested closing levels of
the Index set forth above.

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 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, 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, 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.
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 “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 MerQube US Large-Cap Vol Advantage
Index” 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.
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 Information About the Form of the Notes
The notes will initially be represented by a type of global
security that we refer to as a master note. A master note
represents multiple securities that may be issued at different
times and that may have different terms. The trustee and/or
paying agent will, in accordance with instructions from us, make
