JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC |
$30,730,000
Floating Rate Notes due January 30, 2063
|
Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase &
Co.
General
|
· |
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. |
|
· |
The notes are designed for investors who seek (a) periodic
interest payments that for each Interest Period are linked to a
benchmark rate, which will initially be Compounded SOFR, as
determined on each Determination Date plus 0.30%,
provided that this rate will not be less than the Minimum
Interest Rate of 0.00% per annum, and (b) the applicable Repurchase
Amount on any Repurchase Date or the return of their principal
amount at maturity, as applicable. |
|
· |
You may request that we repurchase your notes on an annual
basis on or after the Initial Repurchase Date (approximately 5
years after the Original Issue Date), subject to your compliance
with the procedural requirements and the other limitations set
forth under “Additional Key Terms” and “Supplemental Terms of the
Notes” in this pricing supplement. You will receive less than your
principal amount if you request that we repurchase your notes on
any Repurchase Date prior to January 30, 2030. |
|
· |
These notes have a relatively long maturity relative to other
fixed income products. Longer-dated notes may be riskier than
shorter-dated notes. See “Selected Risk Considerations” in this
pricing supplement. |
|
· |
The notes may be purchased in minimum denominations of $1,000
and in integral multiples of $1,000 thereafter. |

Supplemental Terms of the Notes
Early Repurchase. You may submit a request to have us
repurchase your notes on any Repurchase Date, subject to the
procedures and terms set forth below. Any payment upon early
repurchase, including interest and principal, is subject to the
Business Day Convention and Interest Accrual Convention.
Any repurchase request that we accept in accordance with the
procedures and terms set forth below will be irrevocable.
To request that we repurchase your notes, you must instruct your
broker or other person through which you hold your notes to take
the following steps:
|
· |
Send a
Repurchase Notice to us via email at rates_repurchase@jpmorgan.com no
earlier than forty-five business days prior to the relevant
Repurchase Date and by no later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time,
fifteen business days prior to the relevant Repurchase Date.
The subject line of the email should include the title of the notes
and the CUSIP for those notes. We or our affiliate must
acknowledge receipt of the Repurchase Notice on the same business
day for it to be effective, which acknowledgment will be deemed to
evidence our acceptance of your repurchase request; |
|
· |
Instruct your DTC
custodian to book a delivery versus payment trade with respect to
your notes on the relevant Repurchase Date at a price equal to the
amount payable upon early repurchase of the notes; and |
|
· |
Cause
your DTC custodian to deliver the trade as booked for settlement
via DTC at or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day
on which the notes will be repurchased. |
Different brokerage firms may have different deadlines for
accepting instructions from their customers. Accordingly, you
should consult the brokerage firm through which you own your
interest in the notes in respect of those deadlines. If you
elect to request that we repurchase your notes, your request will
be valid only if we receive your Repurchase Notice no earlier than
forty-five business days prior to the relevant Repurchase Date and
by no later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, fifteen business
days prior to the relevant Repurchase Date and if we (or our
affiliates) acknowledge receipt of the Repurchase Notice on the
same day. If we do not receive that Repurchase Notice or we
(or our affiliates) do not acknowledge receipt of that notice, your
repurchase request will not be effective and we will not repurchase
your notes. Once given, a Repurchase Notice may not be
revoked.
The calculation agent will, in its sole
discretion, resolve any questions that may arise as to the validity
of a Repurchase Notice and the timing of receipt of a Repurchase
Notice or as to whether and when the required deliveries have been
made. Questions about the repurchase requirements should be
directed to rates_repurchase@jpmorgan.com.

Selected Purchase Considerations
|
· |
PRESERVATION OF CAPITAL ON ANY REPURCHASE DATE ON OR AFTER
JANUARY 30, 2030 OR AT MATURITY ONLY — Regardless of the
performance of the Benchmark Rate, we will pay you at least the
principal amount of your notes if you request that we repurchase
your notes on any Repurchase Date on or after January 30, 2030 or
if you hold the notes to maturity. However, you will receive less
than your principal amount if you request that we repurchase your
notes on any Repurchase Date prior to January 30, 2030. 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. |
|
· |
PERIODIC INTEREST PAYMENTS — The notes offer periodic
interest payments on each Interest Payment Date, subject to any
earlier repurchase. With respect to each Interest Period, your
notes will pay an interest rate per annum equal to the Benchmark
Rate, which will initially be Compounded SOFR, plus 0.30%,
provided that this rate will not be less than the Minimum
Interest Rate. The yield on the notes may be less than the overall
return you would receive from a conventional debt security that you
could purchase today with the same maturity as the notes. |
|
· |
ANNUAL REPURCHASES — You may request that we repurchase
your notes on an annual basis on any Repurchase Date during the
term of the notes on or after the Initial Repurchase Date by
delivering a repurchase notice to us via email at
rates_repurchase@jpmorgan.com no earlier than forty five business
days prior to the relevant Repurchase Date and by no later than
4:00 p.m., New York City time, fifteen business days prior to the
relevant Repurchase Date and following the procedures described
under “Supplemental Terms of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
Upon early repurchase, you will receive for each $1,000 principal
amount note a cash payment on the relevant Repurchase Date equal to
the Repurchase Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. You will
receive less than your principal amount if you request that we
repurchase your notes on any Repurchase Date prior to January 30,
2030. |
|
· |
TAX TREATMENT — You should review carefully the section
entitled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" in this
pricing supplement and the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal
Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement and
consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax
consequences of an investment in the notes. |
|
· |
NOTES USED AS QUALIFIED REPLACEMENT PROPERTY —
Prospective investors seeking to treat the notes as “qualified
replacement property” for purposes of Section 1042 of the Code
should be aware that Section 1042 requires the issuer to meet
certain requirements in order for the notes to constitute qualified
replacement property. In general, qualified replacement property is
a security issued by a domestic corporation that did not, for the
taxable year preceding the taxable year in which such security was
purchased, have “passive investment income” in excess of 25 percent
of the gross receipts of such corporation for such preceding
taxable year (the “passive income test”). For purposes of the
passive income test, where the issuing corporation is in control of
one or more corporations or such issuing corporation is controlled
by one or more other corporations, all such corporations are
treated as one corporation (the “affiliated group”) when computing
the amount of passive investment income under Section 1042. |
We believe that less than 25 percent of our affiliated group’s
gross receipts is passive investment income for the taxable year
ended December 31, 2022. In making this determination, we have made
certain assumptions and used procedures which we believe are
reasonable. Accordingly, the issuer is of the view that the notes
should qualify as “qualified replacement property.” We cannot give
any assurance as to whether our affiliated group will continue to
meet the passive income test. It is, in addition, possible that the
Internal Revenue Service may disagree with the manner in which we
have calculated the affiliated group’s gross receipts (including
the characterization thereof) and passive investment income and the
conclusions reached herein.
Selected Risk Considerations
An
investment in the notes involves significant risks. These risks are
explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” sections of the
accompanying prospectus supplement and the accompanying product
supplement.
Risks Relating to the Notes Generally
|
· |
THE NOTES ARE NOT ORDINARY DEBT SECURITIES BECAUSE THE
INTEREST RATE ON THE NOTES IS A FLOATING RATE AND MAY BE EQUAL TO
THE MINIMUM INTEREST RATE — With respect to each Interest
Period, your notes will pay an interest rate per annum equal to the
Benchmark Rate, which will initially be Compounded SOFR,
plus 0.30%, provided that this rate will not be less
than the Minimum Interest Rate. If the Interest Rate for an
Interest Period is equal to the Minimum Interest Rate, which will
occur if the Benchmark Rate on the applicable Determination Date is
less than or equal to -0.30% per annum, no interest will be payable
with respect to that Interest Period. Accordingly, if the
Benchmark Rate on the Determination Dates for some or all of the
Interest Periods is less than or equal to -0.30% per annum, you may
not receive any interest payments for an extended period over the
term of the notes. |
|
· |
IF YOU REQUEST THAT WE REPURCHASE YOUR NOTES ON ANY
REPURCHASE DATE PRIOR TO JANUARY 30, 2030, YOU WILL LOSE SOME OF
THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF YOUR NOTES — If you request that we
repurchase your notes on any Repurchase Date prior to January 30,
2030, the payment that you receive on the Repurchase Date will be
the relevant Repurchase Amount. The Repurchase Amount for any
Repurchase Date from and including January 30, 2028 to and
including January 30, 2029 is equal to |
Callable Floating Rate Notes |
PS-4
|
$980 for each $1,000 principal amount note. As a result, if you
request that we repurchase your notes on any Repurchase Date prior
to January 30, 2030, the Repurchase Amount will be less than the
$1,000 principal amount note. Accordingly, you may lose some of
your principal amount upon an early repurchase.
|
· |
THE INTEREST RATE ON THE NOTES IS BASED ON THE Benchmark Rate — The amount
of interest, if any, payable on the notes will depend on a number
of factors that could affect the levels of the Benchmark Rate, and
in turn, could affect the value of the notes. These factors include
(but are not limited to) the expected volatility of the Benchmark
Rate, interest and yield rates in the market generally, the
performance of capital markets, monetary policies, fiscal policies,
regulatory or judicial events, inflation, general economic
conditions, and public expectations with respect to such factors.
These and other factors may have a negative impact on the Benchmark
Rate and on the value of the notes in the secondary market. The
effect that any single factor may have on the Benchmark Rate may be
partially offset by other factors. We cannot predict the factors
that may cause the Benchmark Rate, and consequently the Interest
Rate for an Interest Period, to increase or decrease. A decrease in
the Benchmark Rate will result in a reduction of the applicable
Interest Rate used to calculate the Interest for any Interest
Period. |
|
· |
FLOATING RATE NOTES DIFFER FROM FIXED RATE NOTES — The
rate of interest on your notes will be variable and determined
based on the Benchmark Rate plus 0.30%, provided that
this rate will not be less than the Minimum Interest Rate, which
may be less than returns otherwise payable on notes issued by us
with similar maturities. You should consider, among other things,
the overall potential annual percentage rate of interest to
maturity of the notes as compared to other investment
alternatives. |
|
· |
THE BENCHMARK RATE WILL INITIALLY BE BASED ON COMPOUNDED
SOFR, WHICH IS RELATIVELY NEW IN THE MARKETPLACE — For each
Interest Period, the Interest Rate is based on the Benchmark Rate,
which will initially be Compounded SOFR, a compounded average of
Daily SOFR during the applicable Observation Period calculated as
described under “Key Terms — Compounded SOFR” in this pricing
supplement, and not on Daily SOFR published on or in respect of a
particular date during that Observation Period. For this and other
reasons, the Interest Rate for any Interest Period may not be the
same as the interest rate on other investments bearing interest at
a rate based on SOFR that use an alternative method to determine
the applicable interest rate, including any compounded average SOFR
published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FRBNY”).
Further, if Daily SOFR in respect of a particular date during an
Observation Period is negative, the inclusion of such Daily SOFR in
the calculation of Compounded SOFR for the applicable Interest
Period will reduce the Interest Rate and the interest payable on
the notes for that Interest Period. |
In addition, very limited market precedent exists for securities
that use compounded SOFR as the base rate, and the method for
calculating an interest rate based upon compounded SOFR in those
precedents varies. Accordingly, the specific formula and related
conventions (for example, observation periods) used for the notes
may not be widely adopted by other market participants, if at all.
Adoption of a different calculation method by the market likely
would adversely affect the return on, value of and market for the
notes.
|
· |
INTEREST PAYMENTS WITH RESPECT TO EACH INTEREST PERIOD WILL
BE DETERMINED ONLY NEAR THE END OF THAT INTEREST PERIOD — The
level of the Benchmark Rate applicable to each Interest Period and,
therefore, the amount of interest payable with respect to that
Interest Period will be determined on the Determination Date.
Because each Determination Date is near the end of the relevant
Interest Period, you will not know the amount of interest payable
with respect to that Interest Period until shortly prior to the
related Interest Payment Date and it may be difficult for you to
reliably estimate the amount of interest that will be payable on
each Interest Payment Date. |
|
· |
LONGER-DATED NOTES MAY BE RISKIER THAN SHORTER-DATED
NOTES — By purchasing a note with a longer tenor, you are more
exposed to fluctuations in interest rates than if you purchased a
note with a shorter tenor. The present value of a longer-dated note
tends to be more sensitive to rising interest rates than the
present value of a shorter-dated note. If interest rates rise, the
present value of a longer-dated note will fall faster than the
present value of a shorter-dated note. You should purchase these
notes only if you are comfortable with owning a note with a longer
tenor. |
|
· |
THERE ARE RESTRICTIONS ON YOUR ABILITY TO REQUEST THAT WE
REPURCHASE YOUR NOTES — You may submit a request to have us
repurchase your notes only annually on or after the Initial
Repurchase Date. In addition, if you elect to exercise your right
to have us repurchase your notes, your request that we repurchase
your notes is only valid if we receive your Repurchase Notice no
earlier than forty five business days prior to the relevant
Repurchase Date and by no later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time,
fifteen business days prior to the relevant Repurchase Date and
following the procedures described under “Supplemental Terms of the
Notes” in this pricing supplement, and we (or our affiliates)
acknowledge receipt of the Repurchase Notice that same day. If you
submit the Repurchase Notice outside the timeframe specified above
or we (or our affiliates) do not acknowledge receipt of that
notice, your repurchase request will not be effective and we will
not be required to repurchase your notes on the corresponding
Repurchase Date. |
Because of the timing requirements of the Repurchase Notice,
settlement of the repurchase will be prolonged when compared to a
sale and settlement in the secondary market. As your request that
we repurchase your notes is irrevocable, this will subject you to
market risk in the event the market fluctuates after we receive
your request. Furthermore, if we accept your repurchase request,
our obligation to repurchase the notes prior to maturity will be
subject to the Business Day Convention and the Interest Accrual
Convention.
|
· |
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 |
Callable Floating Rate Notes |
PS-5
|
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 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. |
|
· |
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. |
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest
|
· |
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 and hedging our obligations under 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 for our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s own
accounts or on behalf of customers, 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. |
In addition, if the Benchmark Rate is not published or if the
calculation agent determines on or prior to a Determination Date
that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark
Replacement Date (each as defined in “Annex A — Effect of Benchmark

respect to the Benchmark Rate, then the Benchmark Rate will be
determined by the alternative procedures set forth under “What Is
SOFR?” and “Annex A — Effect of Benchmark Transition Event” in this
pricing supplement, which may adversely affect the return on and
the market value of the notes.
Risks Relating to Secondary Market Prices of the Notes
|
· |
CERTAIN BUILT-IN COSTS ARE LIKELY TO AFFECT ADVERSELY THE
VALUE OF THE NOTES PRIOR TO MATURITY — While the payment at
maturity described in this pricing supplement is based on the full
principal amount of your notes, the original issue price of the
notes includes the agent’s commission and the estimated cost of
hedging our obligations under the notes through one or more of our
affiliates. As a result, the price, if any, at which JPMS will be
willing to purchase notes from you in secondary market
transactions, if at all, will likely be lower than the original
issue price, and any sale prior to the Maturity Date could result
in a substantial loss to you. This secondary market price will also
be affected by a number of factors aside from the agent’s
commission and hedging costs, including those referred to under “—
Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the
Notes” below. |
The notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments.
Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your notes to
maturity.
|
· |
MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL IMPACT THE VALUE OF
THE NOTES — In addition to the Benchmark Rate, which will
initially be Compounded SOFR, on any day, the value of the notes
will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that
may either offset or magnify each other, including, but not limited
to: |
|
· |
any actual or potential change in our or JPMorgan Chase &
Co.’s creditworthiness or credit spreads; |
|
· |
the actual and expected volatility of the Benchmark Rate; |
|
· |
the actual or potential cessation of Compounded SOFR; |
|
· |
the time to maturity of the notes; |
|
· |
interest and yield rates in the market generally, as well as
the volatility of those rates; and |
|
· |
a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or
judicial events.

Risks Relating to the Benchmark Rate
|
· |
SOFR HAS A LIMITED HISTORY AND ITS FUTURE PERFORMANCE CANNOT
BE PREDICTED BASED ON HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE — The publication
of SOFR began in April 2018, and, therefore, it has a limited
history. In addition, the future performance of SOFR cannot be
predicted based on the limited historical performance. The level of
SOFR during the term of the notes may bear little or no relation to
the historical actual or historical indicative SOFR data. Prior
observed patterns, if any, in the behavior of market variables and
their relation to SOFR, such as correlations, may change in the
future. While some pre-publication historical data has been
released by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “New York
Fed”), production of such historical indicative SOFR data
inherently involves assumptions, estimates and approximations. No
future performance of SOFR may be inferred from any of the
historical actual or historical indicative SOFR data. Hypothetical
or historical performance data are not indicative of, and have no
bearing on, the potential performance of SOFR. Changes in the
levels of SOFR will affect Compounded SOFR and, therefore, the
return on the notes and the trading price of the notes, but it is
impossible to predict whether such levels will rise or fall.
There can be no assurance that SOFR or the Benchmark Rate will be
positive. |
|
· |
SOFR will be
affected by a number of factors — The amount of interest
payable on the notes will initially depend on SOFR. SOFR will
depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to: |
|
· |
supply and demand for overnight U.S. Treasury repurchase
agreements; |
|
· |
sentiment regarding underlying strength in the U.S. and global
economies; |
|
· |
expectations regarding the level of price inflation; |
|
· |
sentiment regarding credit quality in the U.S. and global
credit markets; |
|
· |
central bank policy regarding interest rates; |
|
· |
inflation and expectations concerning inflation; |
|
· |
performance of capital markets; and |
|
· |
any statements from public government officials regarding the
cessation of SOFR. |
These and other factors may have a negative effect on the
performance of SOFR, on the payment of interest on the notes and on
the value of the notes in the secondary market.
|
· |
SOFR may be volatile
AND MAY BE MORE VOLATILE THAN OTHER BENCHMARK OR MARKET INTEREST
RATES — SOFR is subject to volatility due to a variety
of factors affecting interest rates generally, including, but not
limited to: |
|
· |
sentiment regarding underlying strength in the U.S. and global
economies; |
|
· |
expectations regarding the level of price inflation; |
|
· |
sentiment regarding credit quality in U.S. and global credit
markets; |
|
· |
central bank policy regarding interest rates; and |
|
· |
performance of capital markets. |
Since the initial publication of SOFR, daily changes in the rate
have, on occasion, been more volatile than daily changes in other
benchmark or market rates, such as USD LIBOR, during corresponding
periods. In addition, although changes in compounded SOFR generally
are not expected to be as volatile as changes in Daily SOFR, the
return on, value of and market for the notes may fluctuate more
than floating rate debt securities with interest rates based on
less volatile rates.
|
· |
THE COMPOSITION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF SOFR ARE NOT THE SAME
AS THOSE OF LIBOR AND THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT SOFR (OR
COMPOUNDED SOFR) IS A COMPARABLE SUBSTITUTE FOR LIBOR — In June
2017, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Alternative Reference
Rates Committee (the “ARRC”) announced SOFR as its recommended
alternative to USD LIBOR. However, the composition and
characteristics of SOFR are not the same as those of USD LIBOR.
SOFR is a broad Treasury repo financing rate that represents
overnight secured funding transactions and is not the economic
equivalent of USD LIBOR. While SOFR is a secured rate, USD LIBOR is
an unsecured rate. In addition, while SOFR currently is an
overnight rate only, USD LIBOR is a forward-looking rate that
represents interbank funding for a specified term. As a result,
there can be no assurance that SOFR will perform in the same way as
USD LIBOR would have at any time, including, without limitation, as
a result of changes in interest and yield rates in the market, bank
credit risk, market volatility or global or regional economic,
financial, political, regulatory, judicial or other events. For the
same reasons, SOFR is not expected to be a comparable substitute,
successor or replacement for USD LIBOR. See also “— Any Failure of
SOFR to Gain Market Acceptance Could Adversely Affect the Notes”
below. |
|
· |
ANY FAILURE OF SOFR TO GAIN MARKET ACCEPTANCE COULD
ADVERSELY AFFECT THE NOTES — According to the ARRC, SOFR was
developed for use in certain U.S. dollar derivatives and other
financial contracts as an alternative to USD LIBOR in part because
it is considered a good representation of general funding
conditions in the overnight U.S. Treasury repurchase agreement
market. However, as a rate based on transactions secured by U.S.
Treasury securities, it does not measure bank-specific credit risk
and, as a result, is less likely to correlate with the unsecured
short-term funding costs of banks than competing replacement rates
for USD LIBOR that reflect bank-specific credit risk. This may mean
that market participants would not consider SOFR a suitable
substitute, replacement or successor for all of the purposes for
which USD LIBOR historically has been used (including, without
limitation, as a representation of the unsecured short-term funding
costs of banks), which may, in turn, lessen market acceptance of
SOFR. Any failure of SOFR to gain market acceptance could adversely
affect the return on and value of the notes and the price at which
investors can sell the notes in the secondary market. |

|
· |
THE SECONDARY MARKET
FOR THE NOTES MAY BE LIMITED — If SOFR does not prove to
be widely used as a benchmark in securities that are similar or
comparable to the notes, the trading price of the notes may be
lower than those of debt securities with interest rates based on
rates that are more widely used. Similarly, market terms for debt
securities with interest rates based on SOFR, including, but not
limited to, the spread over the reference rate reflected in the
interest rate provisions or manner of compounding the reference
rate, may evolve over time, and as a result, trading prices of the
notes may be lower than those of later-issued debt securities that
are based on SOFR. Investors in the notes may not be able to sell
the notes at all or may not be able to sell the notes at prices
that will provide them with a yield comparable to similar
investments that have a developed secondary market, and may
consequently suffer from increased pricing volatility and market
risk. |
|
· |
THE ADMINISTRATOR OF SOFR MAY MAKE CHANGES THAT COULD
ADVERSELY AFFECT THE LEVEL OF SOFR OR DISCONTINUE SOFR AND HAS NO
OBLIGATION TO CONSIDER YOUR INTEREST IN DOING SO — SOFR is a
relatively new rate, and FRBNY (or a successor), as administrator
of SOFR, may make methodological or other changes that could change
the value of SOFR, including changes related to the method by which
SOFR is calculated, eligibility criteria applicable to the
transactions used to calculate SOFR, or timing related to the
publication of SOFR. If the manner in which SOFR is calculated is
changed, that change may result in a reduction of the amount of
interest payable on the notes, which may adversely affect the
trading prices of the notes. The administrator of SOFR may
withdraw, modify, amend, suspend or discontinue the calculation or
dissemination of SOFR in its sole discretion and without notice and
has no obligation to consider the interests of holders of the notes
in calculating, withdrawing, modifying, amending, suspending or
discontinuing SOFR. For purposes of the formula used to calculate
interest with respect to the notes, Daily SOFR in respect of a
particular date will not be adjusted for any modifications or
amendments to SOFR data that the administrator of SOFR may publish
after the Interest Rate for the applicable Interest Period has been
determined. |
|
· |
COMPOUNDED SOFR MAY BE REPLACED BY A SUCCESSOR OR SUBSTITUTE
INTEREST RATE — If the calculation agent determines that a
Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement
Date have occurred with respect to Compounded SOFR, then a
Benchmark Replacement will be selected by the calculation agent in
accordance with the benchmark transition provisions of the notes
described under “Annex A — Effect of Benchmark Transition Event” in
this pricing supplement. The selection of a Benchmark Replacement,
and any decisions, determinations or elections made by the
calculation agent or by us in connection with implementing a
Benchmark Replacement with respect to the notes in accordance with
the benchmark transition provisions, could result in adverse
consequences to the relevant Interest Rate on the notes during the
applicable Interest Period, which could adversely affect the return
on, value of and market for the notes. Further, there is no
assurance that the characteristics of any Benchmark Replacement
will be similar to Compounded SOFR, or that any Benchmark
Replacement will produce the economic equivalent of Compounded
SOFR. |
JPMS, an affiliate of ours, is currently the calculation agent for
the notes. In the future, we may appoint another firm, ourselves or
another affiliate of ours as the calculation agent. If the
calculation agent fails to make any determination, decision or
election that it is required to make pursuant to the benchmark
transition provisions described above, then we will make that
determination, decision or election.
|
· |
UNCERTAINTY AS TO SOME OF THE POTENTIAL BENCHMARK
REPLACEMENTS AND ANY BENCHMARK REPLACEMENT CONFORMING CHANGES WE
MAKE MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE RETURN ON AND THE MARKET VALUE OF THE
NOTES — Under the benchmark transition provisions of the notes,
if the calculation agent determines that a Benchmark Transition
Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with
respect to Compounded SOFR, then a Benchmark Replacement will be
selected by the calculation agent. If a particular Benchmark
Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Adjustment cannot be
determined, then the next-available Benchmark Replacement or
Benchmark Replacement Adjustment will apply. These replacement
rates and adjustments may be selected or formulated by (i) the
Relevant Governmental Body (such as the Alternative Reference Rates
Committee of FRBNY), (ii) ISDA or (iii) in certain circumstances,
us. In addition, the benchmark transition provisions expressly
authorize us to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes with
respect to, among other things, the determination of Interest
Periods, Observation Periods and the timing and frequency of
determining rates and making payments of interest. The application
of a Benchmark Replacement and Benchmark Replacement Adjustment,
and any implementation of Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes,
could result in adverse consequences to the amount of interest
payable on the notes during the applicable Interest Period, which
could adversely affect the return on, value of and market for the
notes. Further, there is no assurance that the characteristics of
any Benchmark Replacement will be similar to the then-current
Benchmark that it is replacing, or that any Benchmark Replacement
will produce the economic equivalent of the then-current Benchmark
that it is replacing. |

Hypothetical Examples of
Interest Rate Calculation for an Interest Period
The following examples illustrate how the hypothetical Interest
Rate is calculated for a particular Interest Period and assume that
that the Day Count Fraction for the applicable Interest Period is
equal to 90/360. The actual Day Count Fraction for an Interest
Period will be calculated in the manner set forth in the
accompanying product supplement. The hypothetical Interest Rates in
the following examples are for illustrative purposes only and may
not correspond to the actual Interest Rate for any Interest Period
applicable to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in
the following examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.
Example 1: With respect to a particular Interest Period, the
Benchmark Rate is 0.50% on the applicable Determination Date.
The Interest Rate applicable to this Interest Period is 0.80% per
annum, calculated as follows:
0.50% + 0.30% = 0.80%
The corresponding interest payment per $1,000 principal amount note
is calculated as follows:
$1,000 × 0.80% × (90/360) = $2.00
Example 2: With respect to a particular Interest Period, the
Benchmark Rate is -2.00% on the applicable Determination Date.
Because the Benchmark Rate plus 0.30% is less than the
Minimum Interest Rate of 0.00% per annum, the Interest Rate
applicable to this Interest Period is 0.00% per annum and no
interest payment is made.
The
hypothetical payments on the notes shown above apply only if you
hold the notes for their entire term. 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.

What is SOFR?
SOFR is
published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FRBNY”) and is
intended to be a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash
overnight collateralized by Treasury securities. FRBNY reports that
SOFR includes all trades in the Broad General Collateral Rate, plus
bilateral Treasury repurchase agreement (“repo”) transactions
cleared through the delivery-versus-payment service offered by the
Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (the “FICC”), a subsidiary of The
Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). SOFR is
filtered by FRBNY to remove a portion of the foregoing transactions
considered to be “specials.” According to FRBNY, “specials” are
repos for specific-issue collateral which take place at
cash-lending rates below those for general collateral repos because
cash providers are willing to accept a lesser return on their cash
in order to obtain a particular security.
FRBNY
reports that SOFR is calculated as a volume-weighted median of
transaction-level tri-party repo data collected from The Bank of
New York Mellon, which currently acts as the clearing bank for the
tri-party repo market, as well as General Collateral Finance Repo
transaction data and data on bilateral Treasury repo transactions
cleared through the FICC’s delivery-versus-payment service. FRBNY
notes that it obtains information from DTCC Solutions LLC, an
affiliate of DTCC.
FRBNY
currently publishes SOFR daily on its website. FRBNY states on its
publication page for SOFR that use of SOFR is subject to important
disclaimers, limitations and indemnification obligations, including
that FRBNY may alter the methods of calculation, publication
schedule, rate revision practices or availability of SOFR at any
time without notice. Information contained in the publication page
for SOFR is not incorporated by reference in, and should not be
considered part of, this pricing supplement.
“Daily
SOFR” means, with respect to any U.S. Government Securities
Business Day prior to a Benchmark Replacement Date:
|
· |
the Secured Overnight Financing Rate published for such U.S.
Government Securities Business Day as such rate appears on the SOFR
Administrator's Website at 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the
immediately following U.S. Government Securities Business Day;
or |
|
· |
if such rate does not so appear, the Secured Overnight
Financing Rate as published in respect of the first preceding U.S.
Government Securities Business Day for which the Secured Overnight
Financing Rate was published on the SOFR Administrator's
Website. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the calculation agent determines
on or prior to the relevant Determination Date that a Benchmark
Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date (each
as defined in “Annex A — Effect of Benchmark Transition Event” in
this pricing supplement) have occurred with respect to Compounded
SOFR, then the provisions set forth below under “Annex A — Effect
of Benchmark Transition Event” in this pricing supplement, which we
refer to as the benchmark transition provisions, will thereafter
apply to all determinations of the rate of interest payable on the
notes during the applicable Interest Period. In accordance with the
benchmark transition provisions, after a Benchmark Transition Event
and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the
amount of interest that will be payable for the applicable Interest
Period on the notes will be an annual rate equal to the Benchmark
Replacement (as defined in “Annex A — Effect of Benchmark
Transition Event” in this pricing supplement) plus the
margin of 30 basis points (0.30%).
“SOFR
Administrator” means the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a
successor administrator of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate);
and
“SOFR
Administrator's Website” means the website of the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York, or any successor source. Information contained in
the SOFR Administrator Website is not incorporated by reference in,
and should not be considered part of, this pricing supplement.
All
calculations of the calculation agent, in the absence of manifest
error, will be conclusive for all purposes and binding on us and
holders of the notes.
JPMS, an
affiliate of ours, is currently the calculation agent for the
notes. In the future, we may appoint another firm, ourselves or
another affiliate of ours as the calculation agent.

Historical Information
The
following graph sets forth the historical weekly performance of
Daily SOFR from April 6, 2018 through January 20, 2023. Daily SOFR
on January 25, 2023 was 4.31%. We obtained the levels of Daily SOFR
above and below from the Bloomberg Professional® service
(“Bloomberg”), without independent verification.
The
historical rates do not reflect the daily compounding method used
to calculate Compounded SOFR. The historical rates should not
be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance
can be given as to the level of Compounded SOFR or any Benchmark
Replacement on any Determination Date. There can be no assurance
that the performance of Compounded SOFR will result in an Interest
Rate for any Interest Period that is greater than the Minimum
Interest Rate.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
You
should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal
Income Tax Consequences,” and in particular the subsection thereof
entitled “Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Notes Treated as
Variable Rate Debt Instruments,” in the accompanying product
supplement no. 1-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.
The
notes will be treated as “variable rate debt instruments” that
provide for a single qualified floating rate (“QFR”) for U.S.
federal income tax purposes. We expect that the notes will be
issued without original issue discount and that the interest on the
notes generally will be taxable to you as ordinary interest income
at the time that it accrues or is received, in accordance with your
method of tax accounting.
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.
Validity of the Notes and
the Guarantee
In the opinion of Davis Polk
& Wardwell LLP, as special products counsel to JPMorgan
Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., when the notes offered by
this pricing supplement have been issued by JPMorgan Financial
pursuant to the indenture, the trustee and/or paying agent has
made, in accordance with the instructions from JPMorgan Financial,
the appropriate entries or notations in its records relating to the
master global note that
Callable Floating Rate Notes |

|
represents such notes (the “master note”), and such notes have been
delivered against payment as contemplated herein, such notes will
be valid and binding obligations of JPMorgan Financial and the
related guarantee will constitute a valid and binding obligation of
JPMorgan Chase & Co., enforceable in accordance with their
terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar
laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of
reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability
(including, without limitation, concepts of good faith, fair
dealing and the lack of bad faith), provided that such
counsel expresses no opinion as to (i) the effect of fraudulent
conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable
law on the conclusions expressed above or (ii) any provision of the
indenture that purports to avoid the effect of fraudulent
conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable
law by limiting the amount of JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s obligation
under the related guarantee. This opinion is given as of the
date hereof and is limited to the laws of the State of New York,
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the
Delaware Limited Liability Company Act. In addition, this
opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the trustee’s
authorization, execution and delivery of the indenture and its
authentication of the master note and the validity, binding nature
and enforceability of the indenture with respect to the trustee,
all as stated in the letter of such counsel dated May 6, 2022,
which was filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K by
JPMorgan Chase & Co. on May 6, 2022.

Annex A — Effect of Benchmark Transition Event
Benchmark Replacement. If the calculation agent determines
that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark
Replacement Date have occurred at or prior to the Reference Time in
respect of any determination of the Benchmark Rate on any date, the
Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark Rate
for all purposes relating to the notes during the applicable
Interest Period in respect of such determination on such date and
all determinations on all subsequent dates.
Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with
the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, we will have the
right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to
time.
Decisions and Determinations. Any determination, decision or
election that may be made by us or by the calculation agent
pursuant to the benchmark transition provisions described herein,
including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or
adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event,
circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from
taking any action or any selection:
|
· |
will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error; |
|
· |
if made by us, will be made in our sole discretion; |
|
· |
if made by the calculation agent, will be made after
consultation with us, and the calculation agent will not make any
such determination, decision or election to which we reasonably
object; and |
|
· |
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the indenture or
the notes, shall become effective without consent from the holders
of the notes or any other party. |
If the
calculation agent does not make any determination, decision or
election that it is required to make pursuant to the benchmark
transition provisions, then we will make that determination,
decision or election on the same basis as described above.
Certain Defined Terms. As used herein:
“Benchmark Rate” means, initially, Compounded SOFR; provided
that if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark
Replacement Date have occurred with respect to Compounded SOFR (or
the published daily SOFR used in the calculation thereof) or the
then-current Benchmark Rate, then “Benchmark Rate” means the
applicable Benchmark Replacement.
“Benchmark Replacement” means the first alternative set forth in
the order below that can be determined by the calculation agent as
of the Benchmark Replacement Date:
|
(1) |
the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been
selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body as the
replacement for the then-current Benchmark Rate and (b) the
Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; |
|
(2) |
the sum of: (a) the ISDA Fallback Rate and (b) the Benchmark
Replacement Adjustment; |
|
(3) |
the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been
selected by us as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark
Rate giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of
interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark Rate for
U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time and (b)
the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment. |
“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means the first alternative set
forth in the order below that can be determined by the calculation
agent as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:
|
(1) |
the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative
value or zero), or method for calculating or determining such
spread adjustment, that has been selected or recommended by the
Relevant Governmental Body for the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark
Replacement; |
|
(2) |
if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is
equivalent to the ISDA Fallback Rate, then the ISDA Fallback
Adjustment; |
|
(3) |
the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative
value or zero) that has been selected by us giving due
consideration to any industry-accepted spread adjustment, or method
for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the
replacement of the then-current Benchmark Rate with the applicable
Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated
floating rate notes at such time. |
“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to
any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or
operational changes (including changes to the definitions of
“Interest Period,” “Observation Period,” timing and frequency of
determining rates and making payments of interest, rounding of
amounts or tenors, and other administrative matters) that we decide
may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark
Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market
practice (or, if we decide that adoption of any portion of such
market practice is not administratively feasible or if we determine
that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement
exists, in such other manner as we determine is reasonably
necessary).
“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the
following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:
|
(1) |
in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of
“Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the
public statement or publication of information referenced therein
and (b) the date on which the |
Callable Floating Rate Notes |
PS-13
|
administrator of the Benchmark Rate permanently or indefinitely
ceases to provide the Benchmark Rate; or
|
(2) |
