Payment at Maturity:
If the Final Value of each Index is greater than its Initial Value,
your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will
be calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × Least Performing Index Return × Upside
Leverage Factor)
If (i) the Final Value of one or more Indices is greater than its
Initial Value and the Final Value of the other Index or Indices is
equal to its Initial Value or is less than its Initial Value by up to
the Buffer Amount or (ii) the Final Value of each Index is equal
to its Initial Value or is less than its Initial Value by up to the
Buffer Amount, your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal
amount note will be calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × Absolute Index Return of the Least
Performing Index)
This payout formula results in an effective cap of 20.00% on
your return at maturity if the Least Performing Index Return is
negative. Under these limited circumstances, your maximum
payment at maturity is $1,200.00 per $1,000 principal amount
note.
If the Final Value of any Index is less than its Initial Value by
more than the Buffer Amount, your payment at maturity per
$1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:
$1,000 + [$1,000 × (Least Performing Index Return + Buffer
Amount)]
If the Final Value of any Index is less than its Initial Value by
more than the Buffer Amount, you will lose some or most of
your principal amount at maturity.
Absolute Index Return: With respect to each Index, the
absolute value of its Index Return. For example, if the Index
Return of an Index is -5%, its Absolute Index Return will equal
5%.

Hypothetical Payout Profile
The following table and graph illustrate the hypothetical total return and payment at maturity on the notes linked to three hypothetical
Indices. The “total return” as used in this pricing supplement is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the
payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note to $1,000. The hypothetical total returns and payments set forth below assume the
following:
●an Initial Value for the Least Performing Index of 100.00;
●an Upside Leverage Factor of 1.20; and
●a Buffer Amount of 20.00%.
The hypothetical Initial Value of the Least Performing Index of 100.00 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not
represent the actual Initial Value of any Index. The actual Initial Value of each Index is the closing level of that Index on the Pricing Date
and is specified under “Key Terms – Initial Value” in this pricing supplement. For historical data regarding the actual closing levels of
each Index, please see the historical information set forth under “The Indices” in this pricing supplement.
Each hypothetical total return or hypothetical 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 graph
have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Uncapped Dual Directional Buffered Return Enhanced Notes Linked to the Least
Performing of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageTM, the Russell 2000® Index and the
S&P 500® Index
|
The following graph demonstrates the hypothetical payments at maturity on the notes for a range of Least Performing Index Returns
(-100% to 100%). There can be no assurance that the performance of the Least Performing Index will result in the return of any of your
principal amount in excess of $200.00 per $1,000.00 principal amount note, subject to the credit risks of JPMorgan Financial and
JPMorgan Chase & Co.
How the Notes Work
Index Appreciation Upside Scenario:
If the Final Value of each Index is greater than its Initial Value, investors will receive at maturity the $1,000 principal amount plus a return
equal to the Least Performing Index Return times the Upside Leverage Factor of 1.20.
●If the closing level of the Least Performing Index increases 5.00%, investors will receive at maturity a return of 6.00%, or $1,060.00
per $1,000 principal amount note.
Index Par or Index Depreciation Upside Scenario:
If (i) the Final Value of one or more Indices is greater than its Initial Value and the Final Value of the other Index or Indices is equal to its
Initial Value or is less than its Initial Value by up to the Buffer Amount of 20.00% or (ii) the Final Value of each Index is equal to its Initial
Value or is less than its Initial Value by up to the Buffer Amount of 20.00%, investors will receive at maturity the $1,000 principal amount
plus a return equal to the Absolute Index Return of the Least Performing Index.
●For example, if the closing level of the Least Performing Index declines 10.00%, investors will receive at maturity a return of
10.00%, or $1,100.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.
Downside Scenario:
If the Final Value of any Index is less than its Initial Value by more than the Buffer Amount of 20.00%, investors will lose 1% of the
principal amount of their notes for every 1% that the Final Value of the Least Performing Index is less than its Initial Value by more than
the Buffer Amount.
●For example, if the closing level of the Least Performing Index declines 60.00%, investors will lose 40.00% of their principal amount
and receive only $600.00 per $1,000 principal amount note at maturity.
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 the fees or expenses that would be associated with any sale in the secondary market. If these
fees and expenses were included, the hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments shown above would likely be lower.

Selected Risk Considerations
An investment in the notes involves significant risks. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” sections of the
accompanying prospectus supplement and product supplement and in Annex A to the accompanying prospectus addendum.
Risks Relating to the Notes Generally
●YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS —
The notes do not guarantee any return of principal. If the Final Value of any Index is less than its Initial Value by more than 20.00%,
you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Final Value of the Least Performing Index is less than its
Initial Value by more than 20.00%. Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose up to 80.00% of your principal amount at
maturity.
●YOUR MAXIMUM GAIN ON THE NOTES IS LIMITED BY THE BUFFER AMOUNT IF THE LEAST PERFORMING INDEX
RETURN IS NEGATIVE —
Because the payment at maturity will not reflect the Absolute Index Return of the Least Performing Index if its Final Value is less
than its Initial Value by more than the Buffer Amount, the Buffer Amount is effectively a cap on your return at maturity if the Least
Performing Index Return is negative. The maximum payment at maturity if the Least Performing Index Return is negative is
$1,200.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.
●CREDIT RISKS OF JPMORGAN FINANCIAL AND JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. —
Investors are dependent on our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s ability to pay all amounts due on the notes. Any actual or potential
change in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness or credit spreads, as determined by the market for taking that credit risk,
is likely to adversely affect the value of the notes. If we and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were to default on our payment obligations, you
may not receive any amounts owed to you under the notes and you could lose your entire investment.
●AS A FINANCE SUBSIDIARY, JPMORGAN FINANCIAL HAS NO INDEPENDENT OPERATIONS AND HAS LIMITED ASSETS —
As a finance subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co., we have no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of
our securities and the collection of intercompany obligations. Aside from the initial capital contribution from JPMorgan Chase & Co.,
substantially all of our assets relate to obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. to make payments under loans made by us to
JPMorgan Chase & Co. or under other intercompany agreements. As a result, we are dependent upon payments from JPMorgan
Chase & Co. to meet our obligations under the notes. We are not a key operating subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and in a
bankruptcy or resolution of JPMorgan Chase & Co. we are not expected to have sufficient resources to meet our obligations in
respect of the notes as they come due. If JPMorgan Chase & Co. does not make payments to us and we are unable 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. For more information, see
the accompanying prospectus addendum.
●YOU ARE EXPOSED TO THE RISK OF DECLINE IN THE LEVEL OF EACH INDEX —
Payments on the notes are not linked to a basket composed of the Indices and are contingent upon the performance of each
individual Index. Poor performance by any of the Indices over the term of the notes may negatively affect your payment at maturity
and will not be offset or mitigated by positive performance by any other Index.
●YOUR PAYMENT AT MATURITY WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE LEAST PERFORMING INDEX.
●THE NOTES DO NOT PAY INTEREST.
●YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE DIVIDENDS ON THE SECURITIES INCLUDED IN ANY INDEX OR HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH
RESPECT TO THOSE SECURITIES.
●LACK OF LIQUIDITY—
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Accordingly, the price at which you may be able to trade your notes is likely
to depend on the price, if any, at which JPMS is willing to buy the notes. You may not be able to sell your notes. The notes are not
designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity.
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest
●POTENTIAL CONFLICTS —
We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the notes. In performing these duties, our and JPMorgan Chase &
Co.’s economic interests are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes. It is possible that hedging or trading
activities of ours or our affiliates in connection with the notes could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value
of the notes declines. Please refer to “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest” in the accompanying product
supplement.
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes
●THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES IS LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE (PRICE TO PUBLIC) OF THE
NOTES —
The estimated value of the notes is only an estimate determined by reference to several factors. The original issue price of the notes
exceeds the estimated value of the notes because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the notes are included in
the original issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling commissions, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates
expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging our
obligations under the notes. See “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.

|
●THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE VALUES OF THE NOTES AND MAY DIFFER
FROM OTHERS’ ESTIMATES —
See “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
●THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES IS DERIVED BY REFERENCE TO AN INTERNAL FUNDING RATE —
The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied funding
rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference may
be based on, among other things, our and our affiliates’ view of the funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance,
operational and ongoing liability management costs of the notes in comparison to those costs for the conventional fixed income
instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions, which may
prove to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use of an
internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any secondary
market prices of the notes. See “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
●THE VALUE OF THE NOTES AS PUBLISHED BY JPMS (AND WHICH MAY BE REFLECTED ON CUSTOMER ACCOUNT
STATEMENTS) MAY BE HIGHER THAN THE THEN-CURRENT ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES FOR A LIMITED TIME
PERIOD —
We generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the notes will be partially paid back to you in
connection with any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period.
See “Secondary Market Prices of the Notes” in this pricing supplement for additional information relating to this initial period.
Accordingly, the estimated value of your notes during this initial period may be lower than the value of the notes as published by
JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer account statements).
●SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL LIKELY BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE OF THE
NOTES —
Any secondary market prices of the notes will likely be lower than the original issue price of the notes because, among other things,
secondary market prices take into account our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances and, also,
because secondary market prices may exclude selling commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, and estimated hedging costs
that are included in the original issue price of the notes. As a result, the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy the notes
from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, is likely to be lower than the original issue price. Any sale by you prior to the
Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you.
●SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL BE IMPACTED BY MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS —
The secondary market price of the notes during their term will be impacted by a number of economic and market factors, which may
either offset or magnify each other, aside from the selling commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, estimated hedging costs
and the levels of the Indices. Additionally, independent pricing vendors and/or third party broker-dealers may publish a price for the
notes, which may also be reflected on customer account statements. This price may be different (higher or lower) than the price of
the notes, if any, at which JPMS may be willing to purchase your notes in the secondary market. See “Risk Factors — Risks
Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — Secondary market prices of the notes will be
impacted by many economic and market factors” in the accompanying product supplement.
Risks Relating to the Indices
●JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. IS CURRENTLY ONE OF THE COMPANIES THAT MAKE UP THE DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL
AVERAGETM AND THE S&P 500® INDEX,
but JPMorgan Chase & Co. will not have any obligation to consider your interests in taking any corporate action that might affect the
level of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageTM or the level of the S&P 500® Index.
●AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES IS SUBJECT TO RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SMALL CAPITALIZATION STOCKS WITH
RESPECT TO THE RUSSELL 2000® INDEX —
Small capitalization companies may be less able to withstand adverse economic, market, trade and competitive conditions relative
to larger companies. Small capitalization companies are less likely to pay dividends on their stocks, and the presence of a dividend
payment could be a factor that limits downward stock price pressure under adverse market conditions.

to the closing level of any Index on the Observation Date. There can be no assurance that the performance of the Indices will result in
the return of any of your principal amount in excess of $200.00 per $1,000.00 principal amount note, subject to the credit risks of
JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Tax Treatment
You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product
supplement no. 4-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. Assuming this treatment is respected, the gain or loss on your notes should be treated as long-term
capital gain or loss if you hold your notes for more than a year, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of notes at the issue price.
However, the IRS or a court may not respect this treatment, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the notes
could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, in 2007 Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S.
federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to
require investors in these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of
related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as the nature of
the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals)
realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the
“constructive ownership” regime, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income
and impose a notional interest charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any
Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax
consequences of an investment in the notes, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S.
federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by
this notice.
Section 871(m) of the Code and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 871(m)”) generally impose a 30% withholding
tax (unless an income tax treaty applies) on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid to Non-U.S. Holders with respect to certain
financial instruments linked to U.S. equities or indices that include U.S. equities. Section 871(m) provides certain exceptions to this
withholding regime, including for instruments linked to certain broad-based indices that meet requirements set forth in the applicable
Treasury regulations. Additionally, a recent IRS notice excludes from the scope of Section 871(m) instruments issued prior to January 1,
2027 that do not have a delta of one with respect to underlying securities that could pay U.S.-source dividends for U.S. federal income
tax purposes (each an “Underlying Security”). Based on certain determinations made by us, our special tax counsel is of the opinion that
Section 871(m) should not apply to the notes with regard to Non-U.S. Holders. Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS
may disagree with this determination. Section 871(m) is complex and its application may depend on your particular circumstances,
including whether you enter into other transactions with respect to an Underlying Security. You should consult your tax adviser regarding
the potential application of Section 871(m) to the notes.

The Estimated Value of the Notes
The estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement is equal to the sum of the values of the following
hypothetical components: (1) a fixed-income debt component with the same maturity as the notes, valued using the internal funding rate
described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes. The estimated value of the notes does
not represent a minimum price at which JPMS would be willing to buy your notes in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The
internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied funding rate for
vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference may be based on,
among other things, our and our affiliates’ view of the funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing
liability management costs of the notes in comparison to those costs for the conventional fixed income instruments of JPMorgan Chase
& Co. This internal funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect, and is intended to
approximate the prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use of an internal funding rate and any potential changes
to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any secondary market prices of the notes. For additional
information, see “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes —
The Estimated Value of the Notes Is Derived by Reference to an Internal Funding Rate” in this pricing supplement.
The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes is derived from internal pricing models of our
affiliates. These models are dependent on inputs such as the traded market prices of comparable derivative instruments and on various
other inputs, some of which are market-observable, and which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors, as
well as assumptions about future market events and/or environments. Accordingly, the estimated value of the notes is determined when
the terms of the notes are set based on market conditions and other relevant factors and assumptions existing at that time.
The estimated value of the notes does not represent future values of the notes and may differ from others’ estimates. Different pricing
models and assumptions could provide valuations for the notes that are greater than or less than the estimated value of the notes. In
addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to be incorrect. On
future dates, the value of the notes could change significantly based on, among other things, changes in market conditions, our or
JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness, interest rate movements and other relevant factors, which may impact the price, if any, at
which JPMS would be willing to buy notes from you in secondary market transactions.
The estimated value of the notes is lower than the original issue price of the notes because costs associated with selling, structuring and
hedging the notes are included in the original issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling commissions paid to JPMS and
other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in
hedging our obligations under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. Because hedging our
obligations entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging may result in a profit that is more or less
than expected, or it may result in a loss. A portion of the profits, if any, realized in hedging our obligations under the notes may be
allowed to other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, and we or one or more of our affiliates will retain any remaining hedging profits. See
“Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Estimated
Value of the Notes Is Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to Public) of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes
For information about factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the notes, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the
Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — Secondary market prices of the notes will be impacted by many economic
and market factors” in the accompanying product supplement. In addition, we generally expect that some of the costs included in the
original issue price of the notes will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in an amount
that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period. These costs can include selling commissions, projected hedging profits, if
any, and, in some circumstances, estimated hedging costs and our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt
issuances. This initial predetermined time period is intended to be the shorter of six months and one-half of the stated term of the notes.
The length of any such initial period reflects the structure of the notes, whether our affiliates expect to earn a profit in connection with our
hedging activities, the estimated costs of hedging the notes and when these costs are incurred, as determined by our affiliates. See
“Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Value of the
Notes as Published by JPMS (and Which May Be Reflected on Customer Account Statements) May Be Higher Than the Then-Current
Estimated Value of the Notes for a Limited Time Period” in this pricing supplement.
Supplemental Use of Proceeds
The notes are offered to meet investor demand for products that reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the
notes. See “Hypothetical Payout Profile” and “How the Notes Work” in this pricing supplement for an illustration of the risk-return profile
of the notes and “The Indices” in this pricing supplement for a description of the market exposure provided by the notes.
The original issue price of the notes is equal to the estimated value of the notes plus the selling commissions paid to JPMS and other
affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, plus (minus) the projected profits (losses) that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent
in hedging our obligations under the notes, plus the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes.
