JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC

$68,308,000

Floating Rate Notes due April 11, 2062

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 minus 0.35%, 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 3 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 April 11, 2056.
·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 $10,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

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 APRIL 11, 2056 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 April 11, 2056 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 April 11, 2056. 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, minus 0.35%, 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 April 11, 2056.
·TAX TREATMENT — You should review the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in this pricing supplement carefully 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, 2021. In making this determination, we have made certain assumptions and used procedures which we believe are reasonable. Accordingly, JPMorgan Chase Bank, as 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, minus 0.35%, 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 -0.35% 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 -0.35% 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 APRIL 11, 2056, 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 April 11, 2056, 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 April 11, 2025 to and including April 11, 2035 is equal to $970 for each $1,000 principal amount note, the Repurchase Amount for any Repurchase Date from and including April 11,
Callable Floating Rate Notes PS-4

 

2036 to and including April 11, 2045 is equal to $980 for each $1,000 principal amount note, and the Repurchase Amount for any Repurchase Date from and including April 11, 2046 to and including April 11, 2055 is equal to $990 for each $1,000 principal amount note. As a result, if you request that we repurchase your notes on any Repurchase Date prior to April 11, 2056, 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 minus 0.35%, 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

Callable Floating Rate Notes PS-5

 

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 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 Transition Event” in this pricing supplement) have occurred with 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 Interest Rate for an Interest Period

The following table illustrates the Interest Rate determination for an Interest Period for a hypothetical range of performance of the Benchmark Rate and reflects the Minimum Interest Rate set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement. The hypothetical Benchmark Rate and interest payments set forth in the following examples are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual Benchmark Rate or interest payment applicable to a purchaser of the notes.

Hypothetical Benchmark Rate

 

Spread

 

Hypothetical Interest Rate

9.00% - 0.35% = 8.65%
8.00% - 0.35% = 7.65%
7.00% - 0.35% = 6.65%
6.00% - 0.35% = 5.65%
5.00% - 0.35% = 4.65%
4.00% - 0.35% = 3.65%
3.00% - 0.35% = 2.65%
2.00% - 0.35% = 1.65%
1.00% - 0.35% = 0.65%
0.50% - 0.35% = 0.15%
0.35% - 0.35% = 0.00%
0.00% - 0.35% = 0.00%*
-1.00% - 0.35% = 0.00%*
-2.00% - 0.35% = 0.00%*

*The Interest Rate cannot be less than the Minimum Interest Rate of 0.00% per annum.

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 0.15% per annum, calculated as follows:

0.50% - 0.35% = 0.15%

The corresponding interest payment per $1,000 principal amount note is calculated as follows:

$1,000 × 0.15% × (90/360) = $0.375

Example 2: With respect to a particular Interest Period, the Benchmark Rate is -2.00% on the applicable Determination Date. Because the Benchmark Rate minus 0.35% 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) minus the margin of 35 basis points (0.35%).

“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.

See “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Benchmark Rate — Compounded SOFR May Be Replaced By a Successor or Substitute Interest Rate” and “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Benchmark Rate — 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” for additional information.

Historical Information

The following graph sets forth the historical weekly performance of Daily SOFR from April 6, 2018 through April 1, 2022. Daily SOFR on April 7, 2022 was 0.30%. 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.  You and we agree to treat the notes as “variable rate debt instruments” that provide for a single qualified floating rate (“QFR”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming this treatment is respected, as discussed in that subsection, we expect that the notes will be issued without original issue discount and 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. However, if the notes are issued with original issue discount, you will be required to include the original issue discount in income for federal income tax purposes as it accrues, in accordance with a constant-yield method based on a compounding of interest.

Upon a sale, exchange or retirement of the notes, you generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange or retirement (excluding amounts attributable to accrued interest, which will be treated as such) and your tax basis in the notes. Your tax basis in the notes generally will equal the amount you paid to acquire them. The gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if, at the time of the sale, exchange or retirement, you held the notes for more than one year, and short-term capital gain or loss otherwise. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. The discussions herein 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 owning and disposing of the notes, including the consequences of exercising an early redemption option. 

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 executed and issued by JPMorgan Financial and authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the indenture, and 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 notes 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 February 26, 2020, which was filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 by JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. on February 26, 2020.

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)in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination.

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark Rate:

(1)a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Benchmark Rate announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark Rate, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark Rate;
(2)a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark Rate, the central bank for the currency of the Benchmark Rate, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark Rate, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark Rate or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the Benchmark Rate, which states that the administrator of the Benchmark Rate has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark Rate permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark Rate; or
(3)a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark Rate announcing that the Benchmark Rate is no longer representative.

“ISDA Definitions” means the 2006 ISDA Definitions published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or any successor thereto, as amended or supplemented from time to time, or any successor definitional booklet for interest rate derivatives published from time to time.

“ISDA Fallback Adjustment” means the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the ISDA Definitions to be determined upon the occurrence of an index cessation event with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor.

“ISDA Fallback Rate” means the rate that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon the occurrence of an index cessation date with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor excluding the applicable ISDA Fallback Adjustment.

“Reference Time” with respect to any determination of the Benchmark Rate means (1) if the Benchmark Rate is Compounded SOFR, 3:00 p.m. New York time on the relevant Determination Date, and (2) if the Benchmark Rate is not Compounded SOFR, the time determined by the calculation agent in accordance with the Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.

“Relevant Governmental Body” means the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or any successor thereto.

“Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement” means the Benchmark Replacement excluding the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.
