Return Notes Linked to an Equally Weighted Basket of 12 Reference Stocks due May 25, 2016

General

·The notes are designed for investors who seek exposure to the performance of an equally weighted basket of 12 Reference Stocks, as increased by the Basket Adjustment Factor. Investors should be willing to forgo interest and dividend payments and, if the Basket declines by more than approximately 0.19960%, be willing to lose some or all of their principal.
·The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. Any payment on the notes is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co.
·Minimum denominations of $10,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof

Key Terms

Basket: The Basket consists of 12 common stocks and Class B common stock (each, a “Reference Stock” and collectively, the “Reference Stocks”).  The Bloomberg ticker symbol and the issuers of the Reference Stocks, the relevant exchange, the Stock Weight and the Initial Stock Price of each Reference Stock are set forth under “The Basket” on page TS-1 of this term sheet.
Payment at Maturity:

Payment at maturity will reflect the performance of the Basket, as increased by the Basket Adjustment Factor. Accordingly, at maturity, you will receive an amount per $1,000 principal amount note calculated as follows:

$1,000 × (1 + Basket Return) × Basket Adjustment Factor

Because the Basket Adjustment Factor is 100.20%, you will lose some or all of your principal amount at maturity if the Basket Return reflects a decline in the Basket Closing Level of more than approximately 0.19960%. For more information on how the Basket Adjustment Factor can impact your payment at maturity, please see “What Is the Total Return on the Notes at Maturity, Assuming a Range of Performances for the Basket?” in this term sheet.

Basket Return:

(Ending Basket Level – Starting Basket Level)

      Starting Basket Level

Basket Adjustment Factor: 100.20%
Starting Basket Level: Set equal to 100 on the Pricing Date
Ending Basket Level: The Basket Closing Level on the Observation Date
Basket Closing Level:

On the Observation Date, the Basket Closing Level will be calculated as follows:

100 × [1 + sum of (Stock Return of each Reference Stock × Stock Weight of that Reference Stock)]

Stock Return:

With respect to each Reference Stock:

(Final Stock Price – Initial Stock Price)

                Initial Stock Price

Initial Stock Price: With respect to each Reference Stock, the closing price of one share of that Reference Stock on the Pricing Date, as specified in “The Basket” on page TS-1 of this term sheet
Final Stock Price: With respect to each Reference Stock, the closing price of one share of that Reference Stock on the Observation Date
Stock Adjustment Factor: With respect to each Reference Stock, the Stock Adjustment Factor is referenced in determining the closing price of one share of the Reference Stock and is set equal to 1.0 on the Pricing Date. The Stock Adjustment Factor of each Reference Stock is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain corporate events affecting their Reference Stock.  See “The Underlyings — Reference Stocks — Anti-Dilution Adjustments” and “The Underlyings — Reference Stocks — Reorganization Events” in the accompanying product supplement no. 4a-I for further information.
Pricing Date On or about May 8, 2015
Original Issue Date (Settlement Date): On or about May 13, 2015
Observation Date*: May 20, 2016
Maturity Date*: May 25, 2016

What Is the Total Return on the Notes at Maturity, Assuming a Range of Performances for the Basket?

The following table and examples illustrate the hypothetical total return or payment at maturity on the notes. The “total return” as used in this term sheet is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note to $1,000. Each hypothetical total return or payment at maturity set forth below reflects the Basket Adjustment Factor of 100.20% and the Starting Basket Level of 100. Each hypothetical total return or payment at maturity set forth below is for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual total return or payment at maturity applicable to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following table and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Ending Basket Level Basket Return Total Return
200.00000 100.00000% 100.4000%

0.00000 -100.00000% -100.0000%

Hypothetical Examples of Amount Payable at Maturity

The following examples illustrate how the payment at maturity in different hypothetical scenarios is calculated.

Example 1: The level of the Basket increases from the Starting Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 105. Because the Ending Basket Level of 105 is greater than the Starting Basket Level of 100 and the Basket Return is 5%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,052.10 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 × (1 + 5%) × 100.20% = $1,052.10

Example 2: The level of the Basket decreases from the Starting Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 99.90. Although the Ending Basket Level of 99.90 is less than the Starting Basket Level of 100 and the Basket Return is -0.10%, because of the positive effect of the Basket Adjustment Factor, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,000.998 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 × (1 + (-0.10%)) × 100.20% = $1,000.998

Example 3: The level of the Basket decreases from the Starting Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 80. Because the Ending Basket Level of 80 is less than the Starting Basket Level of 100 and the Basket Return is -20%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $801.60 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 × (1 + -20%) × 100.20% = $801.60

The hypothetical returns and 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 returns and hypothetical payments shown above would likely be lower.

Return Notes Linked to an Equally Weighted Basket of 12 Reference Stocks
 
 

Selected Purchase Considerations

·UNCAPPED INVESTMENT EXPOSURE TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THE BASKET — The notes provide uncapped exposure to the performance of the Basket, as increased by the Basket Adjustment Factor. Because the notes are our unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, payment of any amount at maturity is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.
·RETURN LINKED TO AN EQUALLY WEIGHTED BASKET OF 12 REFERENCE STOCKS — The return on the notes is linked to the performance of an equally weighted Basket that consists of 12 Reference Stocks as set forth under “The Basket” on page TS-1 of this term sheet.
·CAPITAL GAINS TAX TREATMENT You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 4a-I. The following discussion, when read in combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of notes.

Based on current market conditions, in the opinion of our special tax counsel it is reasonable to treat the notes as “open transactions” that are not debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as more fully described in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Notes Treated as Open Transactions That Are Not Debt Instruments” in the accompanying product supplement no. 4a-I. Assuming this treatment is respected, the gain or loss on your notes should be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if you hold your notes for more than a year, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of notes at the issue price. However, the IRS or a court may not respect this treatment, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the notes could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, in 2007 Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require investors in these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” regime, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income and impose a notional interest charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the notes, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by this notice.

Withholding under legislation commonly referred to as “FATCA” may apply to amounts treated as interest paid with respect to the notes, if they are recharacterized as debt instruments. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of FATCA to the notes.

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the notes involves significant risks. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Basket or any of the Reference Stocks. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement no. 4a-I.

·YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS — The notes do not guarantee any return of your principal. The amount payable at maturity, if any, will reflect the performance of the Reference Stocks, as increased by the Basket Adjustment Factor. Because the Basket Adjustment Factor is 100.20%, if the Ending Basket Level declines from the Starting Basket Level by more than approximately 0.19960%, you will lose some or all of your investment in the notes.
· CREDIT RISK OF JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. — The notes are subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co., and our credit ratings and credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the notes. Investors are dependent on JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s ability to pay all amounts due on the notes. Any actual or potential change in our creditworthiness or credit spreads, as determined by the market for taking our credit risk, is likely to adversely affect the value of the notes. If we 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.
·POTENTIAL CONFLICTS — We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the notes, including acting as calculation agent and as an agent of the offering of the notes, hedging our obligations under the notes and making the assumptions used to determine the pricing of the notes and the estimated value of the notes when the terms of the notes are set, which we refer to as JPMS’s estimated value. In performing these duties, our 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 business activities, including hedging and trading activities, could cause our 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 no. 4a-I for additional information about these risks.

We and/or our affiliates may also currently or from time to time engage in business with the Reference Stock issuers, including extending loans to, or making equity investments in, the Reference Stock issuers or providing advisory services to the Reference Stock issuers. In addition, one or more of our affiliates may publish research reports or otherwise express opinions with respect to the Reference Stock issuers, and these reports may or

JPMorgan Structured Investments —TS-3
Return Notes Linked to an Equally Weighted Basket of 12 Reference Stocks
 
 

may not recommend that investors buy or hold the Reference Stocks. As a prospective purchaser of the notes, you should undertake an independent investigation of the Reference Stock issuers that in your judgment is appropriate to make an informed decision with respect to an investment in the notes.

·JPMS’S ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES WILL BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE (PRICE TO PUBLIC) OF THE NOTES — JPMS’s estimated value is only an estimate using several factors. The original issue price of the notes will exceed JPMS’s estimated value because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the notes are included in the original issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling commissions, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. See “JPMS’s Estimated Value of the Notes” in this term sheet.
·JPMS’S ESTIMATED VALUE DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE VALUES OF THE NOTES AND MAY DIFFER FROM OTHERS’ ESTIMATES — JPMS’s estimated value of the notes is determined by reference to JPMS’s internal pricing models when the terms of the notes are set. This estimated value is based on market conditions and other relevant factors existing at that time and JPMS’s assumptions about market parameters, which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors. Different pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations for notes that are greater than or less than JPMS’s estimated value. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to be incorrect. On future dates, the value of the notes could change significantly based on, among other things, changes in market conditions, our creditworthiness, interest rate movements and other relevant factors, which may impact the price, if any, at which JPMS would be willing to buy notes from you in secondary market transactions. See “JPMS’s Estimated Value of the Notes” in this term sheet.
·JPMS’S ESTIMATED VALUE IS NOT DETERMINED BY REFERENCE TO CREDIT SPREADS FOR OUR CONVENTIONAL FIXED-RATE DEBT — The internal funding rate used in the determination of JPMS’s estimated value generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. The discount is based on, among other things, our view of the funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the notes in comparison to those costs for our conventional fixed-rate debt. If JPMS were to use the interest rate implied by our conventional fixed-rate credit spreads, we would expect the economic terms of the notes to be more favorable to you. Consequently, our use of an internal funding rate would have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any secondary market prices of the notes. See “JPMS’s Estimated Value of the Notes” in this term sheet.
·THE VALUE OF THE NOTES AS PUBLISHED BY JPMS (AND WHICH MAY BE REFLECTED ON CUSTOMER ACCOUNT STATEMENTS) MAY BE HIGHER THAN JPMS’S THEN-CURRENT ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES FOR A LIMITED TIME PERIOD — We generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the notes will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period. These costs can include projected hedging profits, if any, and, in some circumstances, estimated hedging costs and our secondary market credit spreads for structured debt issuances. See “Secondary Market Prices of the Notes” in this term sheet for additional information relating to this initial period. Accordingly, the estimated value of your notes during this initial period may be lower than the value of the notes as published by JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer account statements).
·SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL LIKELY BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE OF THE NOTES — Any secondary market prices of the notes will likely be lower than the original issue price of the notes because, among other things, secondary market prices take into account our secondary market credit spreads for structured debt issuances and, also, because secondary market prices (a) exclude selling commissions and (b) may exclude projected hedging profits, if any, and estimated hedging costs that are included in the original issue price of the notes. As a result, the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, is likely to be lower than the original issue price. Any sale by you prior to the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you. See the immediately following risk consideration for information about additional factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the notes.

The notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity. See “— Lack of Liquidity” below.

·SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL BE IMPACTED BY MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS — The secondary market price of the notes during their term will be impacted by a number of economic and market factors, which may either offset or magnify each other, aside from the selling commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, estimated hedging costs and the closing price of one share of each Reference Stock, including:
·any actual or potential change in our creditworthiness or credit spreads;
·customary bid-ask spreads for similarly sized trades;
·secondary market credit spreads for structured debt issuances;
·the actual and expected volatility in the closing prices of the Reference Stocks;
·the time to maturity of the notes;
·the correlation (or lack of correlation) in price movements among the Reference Stocks;
·the dividend rates on the Reference Stocks;
JPMorgan Structured Investments —TS-4
Return Notes Linked to an Equally Weighted Basket of 12 Reference Stocks
 
 
·the occurrence of certain events affecting the issuer of a Reference Stock that may or may not require an adjustment to the applicable Stock Adjustment Factor, including a merger or acquisition;
·interest and yield rates in the market generally; and
·a variety of other economic, financial, political, regulatory and judicial events.

Additionally, independent pricing vendors and/or third party broker-dealers may publish a price for the notes, which may also be reflected on customer account statements. This price may be different (higher or lower) than the price of the notes, if any, at which JPMS may be willing to purchase your notes in the secondary market.

·CORRELATION (OR LACK OF CORRELATION) OF THE REFERENCE STOCKS — The notes are linked to an equally weighted Basket consisting of 12 Reference Stocks. Price movements and performances in the Reference Stocks may or may not be correlated with each other. At a time when the value of one or more of the Reference Stocks increases, the value of the other Reference Stocks may not increase as much or may even decline. Therefore, in calculating the Ending Basket Level, increases in the value of one or more of the Reference Stocks may be moderated, or more than offset, by the lesser increases or declines in the value of the other Reference Stocks. In addition, high correlation of movements in the values of the Reference Stocks during periods of negative returns among the Reference Stocks could have an adverse effect on the payment at maturity on the notes. There can be no assurance that the Ending Basket Level will be higher than the Starting Basket Level.
·NO OWNERSHIP OR DIVIDEND RIGHTS IN THE REFERENCE STOCKS — As a holder of the notes, you will not have any ownership interest or rights in any of the Reference Stocks, such as voting rights or dividend payments. In addition, the issuers of the Reference Stocks will not have any obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the notes in taking any corporate action that might affect the value of the relevant Reference Stocks and the notes.
·NO AFFILIATION WITH THE REFERENCE STOCK ISSUERS — We are not affiliated with the issuers of the Reference Stocks. We have not independently verified any of the information about the Reference Stock issuers contained in this term sheet. You should undertake your own investigation into the Reference Stocks and their issuers. We are not responsible for the Reference Stock issuers’ public disclosure of information, whether contained in SEC filings or otherwise.
·NO INTEREST PAYMENTS — As a holder of the notes, you will not receive any interest payments.
·LACK OF LIQUIDITY — The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. JPMS intends to offer to purchase the notes in the secondary market but is not required to do so. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the notes easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which JPMS is willing to buy the notes.
·THE ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION FOR THE REFERENCE STOCKS IS LIMITED AND MAY BE DISCRETIONARY — The calculation agent will make adjustments to the Stock Adjustment Factor for each Reference Stock for certain corporate events affecting that Reference Stock. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment in response to all events that could affect each Reference Stock. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to make an adjustment, the value of the notes may be materially and adversely affected. You should also be aware that the calculation agent may make adjustments in response to events that are not described in the accompanying product supplement to account for any diluting or concentrative effect, but the calculation agent is under no obligation to do so or to consider your interests as a holder of the notes in making these determinations.
·LIMITED TRADING HISTORY WITH RESPECT TO HILTON WORLDWIDE HOLDINGS INC. — The common stock of Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange on December 12, 2013 and therefore has limited historical performance.  Accordingly, historical information for Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. and for the Basket as a whole is available only since that date.  Past performance should not be considered indicative of future performance.
·THE FINAL TERMS AND VALUATION OF THE NOTES WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE PRICING SUPPLEMENT — The final terms of the notes will be based on relevant market conditions when the terms of the notes are set and will be provided in the pricing supplement. In particular, JPMS’s estimated value will be provided in the pricing supplement and may be as low as the minimum for JPMS’s estimated value set forth on the cover of this term sheet. Accordingly, you should consider your potential investment in the notes based on the minimum for JPMS’s estimated value.

Historical Information Regarding the Basket and the Reference Stocks

The graph of the historical Basket performance is based on the historical performance of the Reference Stocks from December 13, 2013 through May 6, 2015 and assumes the Basket Closing Level on December 13, 2013 was 100 and the Stock Weights were as specified under “The Basket” in this term sheet. Except as noted below, the graphs contained in this term sheet set forth the historical performance of the Reference Stocks from January 8, 2010 through May 1, 2015. We obtained the closing prices in this term sheet from the Bloomberg Professional® service (“Bloomberg”), without independent verification.

JPMS’s Estimated Value of the Notes

JPMS’s estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover of this term sheet is equal to the sum of the values of the following hypothetical components: (1) a fixed-income debt component with the same maturity as the notes, valued using our internal funding rate for structured debt described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the

notes. JPMS’s estimated value does not represent a minimum price at which JPMS would be willing to buy your notes in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The internal funding rate used in the determination of JPMS’s estimated value generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. For additional information, see “Selected Risk Considerations — JPMS’s Estimated Value Is Not Determined by Reference to Credit Spreads for Our Conventional Fixed-Rate Debt.” The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes is derived from JPMS’s internal pricing models. These models are dependent on inputs such as the traded market prices of comparable derivative instruments and on various other inputs, some of which are market-observable, and which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors, as well as assumptions about future market events and/or environments. Accordingly, JPMS’s estimated value of the notes is determined when the terms of the notes are set based on market conditions and other relevant factors and assumptions existing at that time. See “Selected Risk Considerations — JPMS’s Estimated Value Does Not Represent Future Values of the Notes and May Differ from Others’ Estimates.”

JPMS’s estimated value of the notes will be lower than the original issue price of the notes because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the notes are included in the original issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. Because hedging our obligations entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or it may result in a loss. We or one or more of our affiliates will retain any profits realized in hedging our obligations under the notes. See “Selected Risk Considerations — JPMS’s Estimated Value of the Notes Will Be Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to Public) of the Notes” in this term sheet.

Secondary Market Prices of the Notes

For information about factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the notes, see “Selected Risk Considerations — Secondary Market Prices of the Notes Will Be Impacted by Many Economic and Market Factors” in this term sheet. In addition, we generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the notes will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period that is intended to be the shorter of six months and one-half of the stated term of the notes. The length of any such initial period reflects the structure of the notes, whether our affiliates expect to earn a profit in connection with our hedging activities, the estimated costs of hedging the notes and when these costs are incurred, as determined by JPMS. See “Selected Risk Considerations — The Value of the Notes as Published by JPMS (and Which May Be Reflected on Customer Account Statements) May Be Higher Than JPMS’s Then-Current Estimated Value of the Notes for a Limited Time Period.”

Supplemental Use of Proceeds

The notes are offered to meet investor demand for products that reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the notes. See “What Is the Total Return on the Notes at Maturity, Assuming a Range of Performances for the Basket?” and “Hypothetical Examples of Amount Payable at Maturity” in this term sheet for an illustration of the risk-return profile of the notes and “The Reference Stocks” in this term sheet for a description of the market exposure provided by the notes.

The original issue price of the notes is equal to JPMS’s estimated value of the notes plus the selling commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, plus (minus) the projected profits (losses) that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes, plus the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes.
