Automatic Call:
If the closing
level of each Index on any Review Date is greater than or equal to
its Call Value, the notes will be automatically called for a cash
payment, for each $1,000 principal amount note, equal to (a) $1,000

less than its Barrier Amount, your payment at maturity per $1,000
principal amount note will be calculated as follows:
$1,000
+ ($1,000 × Least Performing Index Return)
If the notes have not been automatically

Hypothetical Payout Examples
The
following examples illustrate payments on the notes linked to three
hypothetical Indices, assuming a range of performances for the
hypothetical Least Performing Index on the Review Dates. Each
hypothetical payment set forth below assumes that the closing level
of each Index that is not the Least Performing Index on each Review
Date is greater than or equal to its Call Value (and therefore its
Barrier Amount).
In
addition, the hypothetical payments set forth below assume the
following:
|
· |
an Initial Value for the Least Performing Index of 100.00; |
|
· |
a Call Value for the Least Performing Index of 100.00 (equal to
100.00% of its hypothetical Initial Value); |
|
· |
a Barrier Amount for the Least Performing Index of 70.00 (equal
to 70.00% of its hypothetical Initial Value); and |
|
· |
the Call Premium Amounts are equal to the minimum Call Premium
Amounts set forth under “Key Terms — Call Premium Amount”
above. |
The hypothetical Initial Value of the Least Performing Index of
100.00 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and may not
represent a likely actual Initial Value of any Index. The actual
Initial Value of each Index will be the closing level of that Index
on the Pricing Date and will be provided in the pricing supplement.
For historical data regarding the actual closing levels of each
Index, please see the historical information set forth under “The
Indices” in this pricing supplement.
Each
hypothetical 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 first Review
Date.

Performing Index |
|
First Review Date |
105.00 |
Notes are automatically
called |
|
Total Payment |
$1,111.00 (11.10% return) |
Because
the closing level of each Index on the first Review Date is greater
than or equal to its Call Value, the notes will be automatically
called for a cash payment, for each $1,000 principal amount note,
of $1,111.00 (or $1,000 plus the Call Premium Amount
applicable to the first Review Date), payable on the applicable
Call Settlement Date. No further payments will be made on the
notes.

Date.

|
 |
Because
the closing level of each Index on the final Review Date is greater
than or equal to its Call Value, the notes will be automatically
called for a cash payment, for each $1,000 principal amount note,
of $1,555.00 (or $1,000 plus the Call Premium Amount
applicable to the final Review Date), payable on the applicable
Call Settlement Date, which is the Maturity Date.
Example 3 — Notes have NOT been automatically called and the Final
Value of the Least Performing Index is greater than or equal to its
Barrier Amount.

70.00 |
Notes NOT automatically called; Final
Value of Least Performing Index is greater than or equal to Barrier
Amount |
|
Total Payment |
$1,000.00 (0.00% return) |
Because
the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value of
the Least Performing Index is greater than or equal to its Barrier
Amount, the payment at maturity, for each $1,000 principal amount
note, will be $1,000.00.
Example 4 — Notes have NOT been automatically called and the Final
Value of the Least Performing Index is less than its Barrier
Amount.

Dates |

Notes NOT automatically

Final Review Date |
50.00 |
Notes NOT automatically called; Final
Value of Least Performing Index is less than Barrier
Amount |
|
Total Payment |
$500.00 (-50.00% return) |
Because
the notes have not been automatically called, the Final Value of
the Least Performing Index is less than its Barrier Amount and the
Least Performing Index Return is -50.00%, the payment at maturity
will be $500.00 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as
follows:
$1,000
+ [$1,000 × (-50.00%)] = $500.00
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 of any Index
is less than its Barrier Amount, you will lose 1% of the principal
amount of your notes for every 1% that the Final Value of the Least
Performing Index is less than its Initial Value. Accordingly, under
these circumstances, you will lose more than 30.00% of your
principal amount at maturity and could lose all of your principal
amount at maturity.

|
 |
|
· |
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 ANY CALL PREMIUM AMOUNT PAID ON THE
NOTES, |
regardless of any appreciation of any Index, which may be
significant. You will not participate in any appreciation of any
Index.
|
· |
YOU ARE EXPOSED TO THE RISK OF
DECLINE IN THE LEVEL OF EACH INDEX — |
Payments on the notes are not linked to a basket composed of the
Indices and are contingent upon the performance of each individual
Index. Poor performance by any of the Indices over the term of the
notes may result in the notes not being automatically called on a
Review Date, may negatively affect your payment at maturity and
will not be offset or mitigated by positive performance by any
other Index.
|
· |
YOUR PAYMENT AT MATURITY WILL BE
DETERMINED BY THE LEAST PERFORMING INDEX. |
|
· |
THE BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE
BARRIER AMOUNT MAY TERMINATE ON THE FINAL REVIEW DATE — |
If the Final Value of any Index is less than its Barrier Amount and
the notes have not been automatically called, the benefit provided
by the Barrier Amount will terminate and you will be fully exposed
to any depreciation of the Least Performing 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. There is no
guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an
investment in the notes at a comparable return 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.
|
· |
THE NOTES DO NOT PAY
INTEREST. |
|
· |
YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE DIVIDENDS ON
THE SECURITIES INCLUDED IN ANY INDEX OR HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH
RESPECT TO THOSE SECURITIES. |
|
· |
THE RISK OF THE CLOSING LEVEL OF
AN INDEX FALLING BELOW ITS BARRIER AMOUNT IS GREATER IF THE LEVEL
OF THAT INDEX IS VOLATILE. |
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 Call
Premium Amounts.
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest
We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with
the notes. In performing these duties, our and JPMorgan Chase &
Co.’s economic interests are potentially adverse to your interests
as an investor in the notes. It is possible that hedging or trading
activities of ours or our affiliates in connection with the notes
could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while
the

 |
value of the notes declines. Please refer to “Risk Factors — Risks
Relating to Conflicts of Interest” in the accompanying product
supplement.
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market
Prices of the Notes
|
· |
THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES
WILL BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE (PRICE TO PUBLIC) OF
THE NOTES — |
The estimated value of the notes is only an estimate determined by
reference to several factors. The original issue price of the notes
will exceed the estimated value of the notes because costs
associated with selling, structuring and hedging the notes are
included in the original issue price of the notes. These costs
include the selling commissions, the projected profits, if any,
that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent
in hedging our obligations under the notes and the estimated cost
of hedging our obligations under the notes. See “The Estimated
Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
|
· |
THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES
DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE VALUES OF THE NOTES AND MAY DIFFER FROM
OTHERS’ ESTIMATES — |
See “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing
supplement.
|
· |
THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES
IS DERIVED BY REFERENCE TO AN INTERNAL FUNDING RATE — |
The internal funding rate used in the determination of the
estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied
funding rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar
maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any
difference may be based on, among other things, our and our
affiliates’ view of the funding value of the notes as well as the
higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs
of the notes in comparison to those costs for the conventional
fixed income instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal
funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions,
which may prove to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the
prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use
of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate
may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any
secondary market prices of the notes. See “The Estimated Value of
the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
|
· |
THE VALUE OF THE NOTES AS
PUBLISHED BY JPMS (AND WHICH MAY BE REFLECTED ON CUSTOMER ACCOUNT
STATEMENTS) MAY BE HIGHER THAN THE THEN-CURRENT ESTIMATED VALUE OF
THE NOTES FOR A LIMITED TIME PERIOD — |
We generally expect that some of the costs included in the original
issue price of the notes will be partially paid back to you in
connection with any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in an amount
that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period. See
“Secondary Market Prices of the Notes” in this pricing supplement
for additional information relating to this initial period.
Accordingly, the estimated value of your notes during this initial
period may be lower than the value of the notes as published by
JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer account
statements).
|
· |
SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE
NOTES WILL LIKELY BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE OF THE
NOTES — |
Any secondary market prices of the notes will likely be lower than
the original issue price of the notes because, among other things,
secondary market prices take into account our internal secondary
market funding rates for structured debt issuances and, also,
because secondary market prices may exclude selling commissions,
projected hedging profits, if any, and estimated hedging costs that
are included in the original issue price of the notes. As a result,
the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy the notes
from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, is likely to
be lower than the original issue price. Any sale by you prior to
the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you.
|
· |
SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL BE IMPACTED BY
MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS — |
The secondary market price of the notes during their term will be
impacted by a number of economic and market factors, which may
either offset or magnify each other, aside from the selling
commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, estimated hedging
costs and the levels of the Indices. Additionally, independent
pricing vendors and/or third party broker-dealers may publish a
price for the notes, which may also be reflected on customer
account statements. This price may be different (higher or lower)
than the price of the notes, if any, at which JPMS may be willing
to purchase your notes in the secondary market. See “Risk Factors —
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices
of the Notes — Secondary market prices of the notes will be
impacted by many economic and market factors” in the accompanying
product supplement.

JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. IS

but JPMorgan Chase & Co. will not have any obligation to

|
· |
AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES IS SUBJECT TO RISKS ASSOCIATED
WITH SMALL CAPITALIZATION STOCKS WITH RESPECT TO THE RUSSELL
2000® INDEX — |
Small capitalization companies may be less able to withstand
adverse economic, market, trade and competitive conditions relative
to larger companies. Small capitalization companies are less likely
to pay dividends on their stocks, and the presence of a dividend
payment could be a factor that limits downward stock price pressure
under adverse market conditions.

Tax Treatment
You
should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal
Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no.
4-II. The following discussion, when read in combination with that
section, constitutes the full opinion of our special tax counsel,
Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, regarding the material U.S. federal
income tax consequences of owning and disposing of notes.
Based on current market conditions, in the opinion of our special
tax counsel it is reasonable to treat the notes as “open
transactions” that are not debt instruments for U.S. federal income
tax purposes, as more fully described in “Material U.S. Federal
Income Tax Consequences — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Notes
Treated as Open Transactions That Are Not Debt Instruments” in the
accompanying product supplement. Assuming this treatment is
respected, the gain or loss on your notes should be treated as
long-term capital gain or loss if you hold your notes for more than
a year, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of notes at the
issue price. However, the IRS or a court may not respect this
treatment, in which case the timing and character of any income or
loss on the notes could be materially and adversely affected. In
addition, in 2007 Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting
comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid
forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in
particular on whether to require investors in these instruments to
accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for
comments on a number of related topics, including the character of
income or loss with respect to these instruments; the relevance of
factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the
instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income
(including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors
should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments
are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” regime,
which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain
long-term capital gain as ordinary

income and impose a notional interest charge. While the notice
requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective
dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after
consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect
the tax consequences of an investment in the notes, possibly with
retroactive effect. You should consult your tax adviser regarding
the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the
notes, including possible alternative treatments and the issues
presented by this notice.
Section 871(m) of the Code and Treasury regulations promulgated
thereunder (“Section 871(m)”) generally impose a 30% withholding
tax (unless an income tax treaty applies) on dividend equivalents
paid or deemed paid to Non-U.S. Holders with respect to certain
financial instruments linked to U.S. equities or indices that
include U.S. equities. Section 871(m) provides certain exceptions
to this withholding regime, including for instruments linked to
certain broad-based indices that meet requirements set forth in the
applicable Treasury regulations. Additionally, a recent IRS notice
excludes from the scope of Section 871(m) instruments issued prior
to January 1, 2025 that do not have a delta of one with respect to
underlying securities that could pay U.S.-source dividends for U.S.
federal income tax purposes (each an “Underlying Security”). Based
on certain determinations made by us, we expect that Section 871(m)
will not apply to the notes with regard to Non-U.S. Holders. Our
determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree
with this determination. Section 871(m) is complex and its
application may depend on your particular circumstances, including
whether you enter into other transactions with respect to an
Underlying Security. If necessary, further information regarding
the potential application of Section 871(m) will be provided in the
pricing supplement for the notes. You should consult your tax
adviser regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to
the notes.
The Estimated Value of the Notes
The
estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover of this pricing
supplement is equal to the sum of the values of the following
hypothetical components: (1) a fixed-income debt component with the
same maturity as the notes, valued using the internal funding rate
described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying
the economic terms of the notes. The estimated value of the notes
does not represent a minimum price at which JPMS would be willing
to buy your notes in any secondary market (if any exists) at any
time. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the
estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied
funding rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar
maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any
difference may be based on, among other things, our and our
affiliates’ view of the funding value of the notes as well as the
higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs
of the notes in comparison to those costs for the conventional
fixed income instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal
funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions,
which may prove to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the
prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use
of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate
may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any
secondary market prices of the notes. For additional information,
see “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated
Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Estimated
Value of the Notes Is Derived by Reference to an Internal Funding
Rate” in this pricing supplement.
The
value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic
terms of the notes is derived from internal pricing models of our
affiliates. These models are dependent on inputs such as the traded
market prices of comparable derivative instruments and on various
other inputs, some of which are market-observable, and which can
include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other
factors, as well as assumptions about future market events and/or
environments. Accordingly, the estimated value of the notes is
determined when the terms of the notes are set based on market
conditions and other relevant factors and assumptions existing at
that time.
The
estimated value of the notes does not represent future values of
the notes and may differ from others’ estimates. Different pricing
models and assumptions could provide valuations for the notes that
are greater than or less than the estimated value of the notes. In
addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in the
future may change, and any assumptions may prove to be incorrect.
On future dates, the value of the notes could change significantly
based on, among other things, changes in market conditions, our or
JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness, interest rate
movements and other relevant factors, which may impact the price,
if any, at which JPMS would be willing to buy notes from you in
secondary market transactions.
The estimated value of the notes will be lower than the original
issue price of the notes because costs associated with selling,
structuring and hedging the notes are included in the original
issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling
commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated
dealers, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect
to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations
under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations
under the notes. Because hedging our obligations entails risk and
may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging
may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or it
may result in a loss. A portion of the profits, if any, realized in
hedging our obligations under the notes may be allowed to other
affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, and we or one or more of our
affiliates will retain any remaining hedging

profits. See “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the
Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The
Estimated Value of the Notes Will Be Lower Than the Original Issue
Price (Price to Public) of the Notes” in this pricing
supplement.
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes
For
information about factors that will impact any secondary market
prices of the notes, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the
Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes —
Secondary market prices of the notes will be impacted by many
economic and market factors” in the accompanying product
supplement. In addition, we generally expect that some of the costs
included in the original issue price of the notes will be partially
paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your notes
by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial
predetermined period. These costs can include selling commissions,
projected hedging profits, if any, and, in some circumstances,
estimated hedging costs and our internal secondary market funding
rates for structured debt issuances. This initial predetermined
time period is intended to be the shorter of six months and
one-half of the stated term of the notes. The length of any such
initial period reflects the structure of the notes, whether our
affiliates expect to earn a profit in connection with our hedging
activities, the estimated costs of hedging the notes and when these
costs are incurred, as determined by our affiliates. See “Selected
Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Value of the Notes as
Published by JPMS (and Which May Be Reflected on Customer Account
Statements) May Be Higher Than the Then-Current Estimated Value of
the Notes for a Limited Time Period” in this pricing
supplement.
Supplemental Use of Proceeds
The
notes are offered to meet investor demand for products that reflect
the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the notes.
See “How the Notes Work” and “Hypothetical Payout Examples” in this
pricing supplement for an illustration of the risk-return profile
of the notes and “The Indices” in this pricing supplement for a
description of the market exposure provided by the notes.
The original issue price of the notes is equal to the estimated
value of the notes plus 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 appropriate
entries or notations in its records relating to the master note
representing the notes to indicate that the master note evidences
the notes.
Additional Terms Specific to the Notes
You may
revoke your offer to purchase the notes at any time prior to the
time at which we accept such offer by notifying the applicable
agent. We reserve the right to change the terms of, or reject any
offer to purchase, the notes prior to their issuance. In the event
of any changes to the terms of the notes, we will notify you and
you will be asked to accept such changes in connection with your
purchase. You may also choose to reject such changes, in which case
we may reject your offer to purchase.
You
should read this pricing supplement together with the accompanying
prospectus, as supplemented by the accompanying prospectus
supplement relating to our Series A medium-term notes of which
these notes are a part, and the more detailed information contained
in the accompanying product supplement and the accompanying
underlying supplement. This pricing supplement, together with the
