JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC
Structured Investments
Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Least
Performing of the Class A Common Stock of Alphabet Inc., the
Common Stock of Amazon.com, Inc. and the Common Stock of
Apple Inc. due November 2, 2026
Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
● The notes are designed for investors who seek a Contingent Interest Payment with respect to each Review Date for which
the closing price of one share of each of the Reference Stocks is greater than or equal to 58.20% of its Strike Value, which
we refer to as an Interest Barrier.
● If the closing price of one share of each Reference Stock is greater than or equal to its Interest Barrier on any Review Date,
investors will receive, in addition to the Contingent Interest Payment with respect to that Review Date, any previously unpaid
Contingent Interest Payments for prior Review Dates.
● The notes will be automatically called if the closing price of one share of each Reference Stock on any Review Date (other
than the first and final Review Dates) is greater than or equal to its Strike Value.
● The earliest date on which an automatic call may be initiated is April 28, 2025.
● Investors should be willing to accept the risk of losing some or all of their principal and the risk that no Contingent Interest
Payment may be made with respect to some or all Review Dates.
● Investors should also be willing to forgo fixed interest and dividend payments, in exchange for the opportunity to receive
Contingent Interest Payments.
● 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.
● Payments on the notes are not linked to a basket composed of the Reference Stocks. Payments on the notes are linked to
the performance of each of the Reference Stocks individually, as described below.
● Minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof
● The notes are expected to price on or about October 29, 2024 (the “Pricing Date”) and are expected to settle on or about
November 1, 2024. The Strike Value of each Reference Stock has been determined by reference to the closing price
of one share of that Reference Stock on October 28, 2024 and not by reference to the closing price of one share of
that Reference Stock on the Pricing Date.
● CUSIP: 48135UW97

Hypothetical Payout Examples
The following examples illustrate payments on the notes linked to three hypothetical Reference Stocks, assuming a range of
performances for the hypothetical Least Performing Reference Stock on the Review Dates. Each hypothetical payment set forth
below assumes that the closing price of one share of each Reference Stock that is not the Least Performing Reference Stock
on each Review Date is greater than or equal to its Strike Value (and therefore its Interest Barrier and Trigger Value).
In addition, the hypothetical payments set forth below assume the following:
● a Strike Value for the Least Performing Reference Stock of $100.00;
● an Interest Barrier and a Trigger Value for the Least Performing Reference Stock of $58.20 (equal to 58.20% of its
hypothetical Strike Value); and
● a Contingent Interest Rate of 9.00% per annum (payable at a rate of 2.25% per quarter).
The hypothetical Strike Value of the Least Performing Reference Stock of $100.00 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and
does not represent the actual Strike Value of any Reference Stock.
The actual Strike Value of each Reference Stock is the closing price of one share of that Reference Stock on the Strike Date and is
specified under “Key Terms Relating to the Reference Stocks” in this pricing supplement. For historical data regarding the actual
closing prices of one share of each Reference Stock, please see the historical information set forth under “The Reference Stocks” in
this pricing supplement.
Each hypothetical payment set forth below is for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual payment applicable to a purchaser
of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.
Example 1 — Notes are automatically called on the second Review Date.
Date
Closing Price of One
Share of Least
Performing Reference
Stock
Payment (per $1,000 principal amount note)
First Review Date
$105.00
$22.50
Second Review Date
$110.00
$1,022.50
Total Payment
$1,045.00 (4.50% return)
Because the closing price of one share of each Reference Stock on the second Review Date is greater than or equal to its Strike Value,
the notes will be automatically called for a cash payment, for each $1,000 principal amount note, of $1,022.50 (or $1,000 plus the
Contingent Interest Payment applicable to the second Review Date), payable on the applicable Call Settlement Date. The notes are not
automatically callable before the second Review Date, even though the closing price of one share of each Reference Stock on the first
Review Date is greater than its Strike Value. When added to the Contingent Interest Payment received with respect to the prior Review
Date, the total amount paid, for each $1,000 principal amount note, is $1,045.00. No further payments will be made on the notes.
Example 2 — Notes have NOT been automatically called and the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference
Stock is greater than or equal to its Trigger Value.
Date
Closing Price of One

Review Dates

$0
Final Review Date
$90.00
$1,135.00
Total Payment
$1,180.00 (18.00% return)
Because the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Stock is greater than or
equal to its Trigger Value, the payment at maturity, for each $1,000 principal amount note, will be $1,135.00 (or $1,000 plus the
Contingent Interest Payment applicable to the final Review Date plus the unpaid Contingent Interest Payments for any prior Review
Dates). When added to the Contingent Interest Payments received with respect to the prior Review Dates, the total amount paid, for
each $1,000 principal amount note, is $1,180.00.
Example 3 — Notes have NOT been automatically called and the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference
Stock is less than its Trigger Value.
Date
Closing Price of One
Share of Least
Performing Reference

Payment (per $1,000 principal amount note)

Third through Seventh
Review Dates
Less than Interest Barrier
$0
Final Review Date
$48.20
$482.00
Total Payment
$482.00 (-51.80% return)
Because the notes have not been automatically called, the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Stock is less than its Trigger
Value and the Least Performing Stock Return is -51.80%, the payment at maturity will be $482.00 per $1,000 principal amount note,
calculated as follows:
$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-51.80%)] = $482.00
The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the notes shown above apply only if you hold the notes for their entire term
or until automatically called. These hypotheticals do not reflect the fees or expenses that would be associated with any sale in the
secondary market. If these fees and expenses were included, the hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments shown above would
likely be lower.
Selected Risk Considerations
An investment in the notes involves significant risks. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” sections of the
accompanying prospectus supplement and product supplement and in Annex A to the accompanying prospectus addendum.
● YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS —
The notes do not guarantee any return of principal. If the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value of any
Reference Stock is less than its Trigger Value, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Final
Value of the Least Performing Reference Stock is less than its Strike Value. Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose
more than 41.80% of your principal amount at maturity and could lose all of your principal amount at maturity.
● THE NOTES DO NOT GUARANTEE THE PAYMENT OF INTEREST AND MAY NOT PAY ANY INTEREST AT ALL —
If the notes have not been automatically called, we will make a Contingent Interest Payment with respect to a Review Date (and we
will pay you any previously unpaid Contingent Interest Payments for any prior Review Dates) only if the closing price of one share
of each Reference Stock on that Review Date is greater than or equal to its Interest Barrier. If the closing price of one share of any
Reference Stock on that Review Date is less than its Interest Barrier, no Contingent Interest Payment will be made with respect to
that Review Date. You will not receive any unpaid Contingent Interest Payments if the closing price of one share of any Reference
Stock on each subsequent Review Date is less than its Interest Barrier. Accordingly, if the closing price of one share of any
Reference Stock on each Review Date is less than its Interest Barrier, you will not receive any interest payments over the term of
the notes.
● 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.
● THE APPRECIATION POTENTIAL OF THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO THE SUM OF ANY CONTINGENT INTEREST PAYMENTS
THAT MAY BE PAID OVER THE TERM OF THE NOTES,
regardless of any appreciation of any Reference Stock, which may be significant. You will not participate in any appreciation of any
Reference Stock.
● 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.
● YOU ARE EXPOSED TO THE RISK OF DECLINE IN THE PRICE OF ONE SHARE OF EACH REFERENCE STOCK—
Payments on the notes are not linked to a basket composed of the Reference Stocks and are contingent upon the performance of
each individual Reference Stock. Poor performance by any of the Reference Stocks over the term of the notes may result in the
notes not being automatically called on a Review Date, may negatively affect whether you will receive a Contingent Interest
Payment on any Interest Payment Date and your payment at maturity and will not be offset or mitigated by positive performance by
any other Reference Stock.
● YOUR PAYMENT AT MATURITY WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE LEAST PERFORMING REFERENCE STOCK.
● THE BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE TRIGGER VALUE MAY TERMINATE ON THE FINAL REVIEW DATE—
If the Final Value of any Reference Stock is less than its Trigger Value and the notes have not been automatically called, the
benefit provided by the Trigger Value will terminate and you will be fully exposed to any depreciation of the Least Performing
Reference Stock.
● THE AUTOMATIC CALL FEATURE MAY FORCE A POTENTIAL EARLY EXIT —
If your notes are automatically called, the term of the notes may be reduced to as short as approximately six months and you will
not receive any Contingent Interest Payments after the applicable Call Settlement Date. There is no guarantee that you would be
able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the notes at a comparable return and/or with a comparable interest rate for a
similar level of risk. Even in cases where the notes are called before maturity, you are not entitled to any fees and commissions
described on the front cover of this pricing supplement.
● YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE DIVIDENDS ON ANY REFERENCE STOCK OR HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO ANY
REFERENCE STOCK.
● NO AFFILIATION WITH ANY REFERENCE STOCK ISSUER —
We have not independently verified any of the information about any Reference Stock issuer contained in this pricing supplement.
You should undertake your own investigation into each Reference Stock and its issuer. We are not responsible for any Reference
Stock issuer’s public disclosure of information, whether contained in SEC filings or otherwise.
● THE ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION FOR EACH REFERENCE STOCK IS LIMITED AND MAY BE DISCRETIONARY —
The calculation agent will not make an adjustment in response to all events that could affect a Reference Stock. 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.
● THE RISK OF THE CLOSING PRICE OF ONE SHARE OF A REFERENCE STOCK FALLING BELOW ITS INTEREST
BARRIER OR TRIGGER VALUE IS GREATER IF THE PRICE OF ONE SHARE OF THAT REFERENCE STOCK IS VOLATILE.
● 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.
● THE FINAL TERMS AND VALUATION OF THE NOTES WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE PRICING SUPPLEMENT —
You should consider your potential investment in the notes based on the minimums for the estimated value of the notes and the
Contingent Interest Rate.
● THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES WILL BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE (PRICE TO PUBLIC) OF
THE NOTES —
The estimated value of the notes is only an estimate determined by reference to several factors. The original issue price of the
notes will exceed the estimated value of the notes because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the notes are
included in the original issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling commissions, the projected profits, if any, that our
affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging
our obligations under the notes. See “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
● THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE VALUES OF THE NOTES AND MAY DIFFER
FROM OTHERS’ ESTIMATES —
See “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
● THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES IS DERIVED BY REFERENCE TO AN INTERNAL FUNDING RATE —
The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied funding
rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference may
be based on, among other things, our and our affiliates’ view of the funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance,
operational and ongoing liability management costs of the notes in comparison to those costs for the conventional fixed income
instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions, which may
prove to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use of an
internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any
secondary market prices of the notes. See “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
● THE VALUE OF THE NOTES AS PUBLISHED BY JPMS (AND WHICH MAY BE REFLECTED ON CUSTOMER ACCOUNT
STATEMENTS) MAY BE HIGHER THAN THE THEN-CURRENT ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES FOR A LIMITED TIME
PERIOD —
We generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the notes will be partially paid back to you in
connection with any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period.
See “Secondary Market Prices of the Notes” in this pricing supplement for additional information relating to this initial period.
Accordingly, the estimated value of your notes during this initial period may be lower than the value of the notes as published by
JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer account statements).
● SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL LIKELY BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE OF THE
NOTES —
Any secondary market prices of the notes will likely be lower than the original issue price of the notes because, among other
things, secondary market prices take into account our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances and,
also, because secondary market prices may exclude selling commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, and estimated hedging
costs that are included in the original issue price of the notes. As a result, the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy the
notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, is likely to be lower than the original issue price. Any sale by you prior to
the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you.
● SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL BE IMPACTED BY MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS —
The secondary market price of the notes during their term will be impacted by a number of economic and market factors, which
may either offset or magnify each other, aside from the selling commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, estimated hedging
costs and the prices of one share of the Reference Stocks. 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.

Historical Information
The following graphs set forth the historical performance of each Reference Stock based on the weekly historical closing prices of one
share of that Reference Stock from January 4, 2019 through October 25, 2024. The closing prices above and below may have been
adjusted by Bloomberg for corporate actions, such as stock splits, public offerings, mergers and acquisitions, spin-offs, delistings and
bankruptcy.
The historical closing prices of one share of each Reference Stock should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no
assurance can be given as to the closing price of one share of any Reference Stock on any Review Date. There can be no assurance
that the performance of the Reference Stocks will result in the return of any of your principal amount or the payment of any interest.

Tax Treatment
You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product
supplement no. 4-I. In determining our reporting responsibilities we intend to treat (i) the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes as
prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons and (ii) any Contingent Interest Payments as ordinary income, as
described in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Notes
Treated as Prepaid Forward Contracts with Associated Contingent Coupons” in the accompanying product supplement. Based on the
advice of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, our special tax counsel, we believe that this is a reasonable treatment, but that there are other
reasonable treatments that the IRS or a court may adopt, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the notes
could be materially 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 and the relevance of factors such as the nature of the
underlying property to which the instruments are linked. 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 affect the
tax consequences of an investment in the notes, possibly with retroactive effect. The discussions above 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 an investment in the notes, including
possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the notice described above.
Non-U.S. Holders — Tax Considerations. The U.S. federal income tax treatment of Contingent Interest Payments is uncertain, and
although we believe it is reasonable to take a position that Contingent Interest Payments are not subject to U.S. withholding tax (at
least if an applicable Form W-8 is provided), it is expected that withholding agents will (and we, if we are the withholding agent, intend
to) withhold on any Contingent Interest Payment paid to a Non-U.S. Holder generally at a rate of 30% or at a reduced rate specified by
an applicable income tax treaty under an “other income” or similar provision. We will not be required to pay any additional amounts with
respect to amounts withheld. In order to claim an exemption from, or a reduction in, the 30% withholding tax, a Non-U.S. Holder of the
notes must comply with certification requirements to establish that it is not a U.S. person and is eligible for such an exemption or
reduction under an applicable tax treaty. If you are a Non-U.S. Holder, you should consult your tax adviser regarding the tax treatment
of the notes, including the possibility of obtaining a refund of any withholding tax and the certification requirement described above.
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, we expect that Section 871(m) will
not apply to the notes with regard to Non-U.S. Holders. Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this
determination. Section 871(m) is complex and its application may depend on your particular circumstances, including whether you enter
into other transactions with respect to an Underlying Security. If necessary, further information regarding the potential application of
Section 871(m) will be provided in the pricing supplement for the notes. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential
application of Section 871(m) to the notes.
In the event of any withholding on the notes, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so withheld.
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 — The Estimated Value of the Notes Is Derived by Reference to an
Internal Funding Rate” in this pricing supplement.
The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes is derived from internal pricing models of our
affiliates. These models are dependent on inputs such as the traded market prices of comparable derivative instruments and on various
other inputs, some of which are market-observable, and which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors, as
well as assumptions about future market events and/or environments. Accordingly, the estimated value of the notes is determined when
the terms of the notes are set based on market conditions and other relevant factors and assumptions existing at that time.
The estimated value of the notes does not represent future values of the notes and may differ from others’ estimates. Different pricing
models and assumptions could provide valuations for the notes that are greater than or less than the estimated value of the notes. In
addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to be incorrect. On
future dates, the value of the notes could change significantly based on, among other things, changes in market conditions, our or
JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness, interest rate movements and other relevant factors, which may impact the price, if any, at
which JPMS would be willing to buy notes from you in secondary market transactions.
The estimated value of the notes will be lower than the original issue price of the notes because costs associated with selling,
structuring and hedging the notes are included in the original issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling commissions paid
to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks
inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. Because
hedging our obligations entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging may result in a profit that
is more or less than expected, or it may result in a loss. A portion of the profits, if any, realized in hedging our obligations under the
notes may be allowed to other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, and we or one or more of our affiliates will retain any remaining hedging
profits. See “Selected Risk Considerations — The Estimated Value of the Notes Will Be Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to
Public) of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes
For information about factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the notes, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the
Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — Secondary market prices of the notes will be impacted by many
economic and market factors” in the accompanying product supplement. In addition, we generally expect that some of the costs
included in the original issue price of the notes will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your notes by
JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period. These costs can include selling commissions,
projected hedging profits, if any, and, in some circumstances, estimated hedging costs and our internal secondary market funding rates
for structured debt issuances. This initial predetermined time period is intended to be the shorter of six months and one-half of the
stated term of the notes. The length of any such initial period reflects the structure of the notes, whether our affiliates expect to earn a
profit in connection with our hedging activities, the estimated costs of hedging the notes and when these costs are incurred, as
determined by our affiliates. See “Selected Risk Considerations — The Value of the Notes as Published by JPMS (and Which May Be
Reflected on Customer Account Statements) May Be Higher Than the Then-Current Estimated Value of the Notes for a Limited Time
Period” in this pricing supplement.
Supplemental Use of Proceeds
The notes are offered to meet investor demand for products that reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the
notes. See “How the Notes Work” and “Hypothetical Payout Examples” in this pricing supplement for an illustration of the risk-return
profile of the notes and “The Reference Stocks” 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.
