JPMorgan 2x Uncapped Barrier Notes, 70% barrier, due 2030

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC announced a preliminary pricing supplement for Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes linked to the S&P 500 Futures Excess Return Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes are expected to price on or about November 18, 2025 and settle on or about November 21, 2025, with maturity on November 21, 2030.

The notes offer at least 2.00x any positive Index return at maturity, with a 70.00% barrier of the Initial Value. If the Final Value is above the Initial Value, the payoff equals $1,000 plus $1,000 × Index Return × Upside Leverage Factor. If the Final Value is at or above the barrier but not higher than the Initial Value, principal is returned. If the Final Value falls below the barrier, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the Index decline, and investors could lose all principal.

Key terms include minimum denominations of $1,000, no periodic interest, and unsecured, unsubordinated status of the issuer obligations, subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. The agent selling commission will not exceed $11.25 per $1,000 note. If priced today, the estimated value would be approximately $967.10 per $1,000, and will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000 when finalized.

Supplemental Terms of the Notes
The notes are not futures contracts or swaps and are not regulated under the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as
amended (the “Commodity Exchange Act”). The notes are offered pursuant to an exemption from regulation under the
Commodity Exchange Act, commonly known as the hybrid instrument exemption, that is available to securities that have one or
more payments indexed to the value, level or rate of one or more commodities, as set out in section 2(f) of that statute. Accordingly,
you are not afforded any protection provided by the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulation promulgated by the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission.
For purposes of the accompanying product supplement, the Index will be deemed to be an Equity Index, except as provided below,
and any references in the accompanying product supplement to the securities included in an Equity Index (or similar references)
should be read to refer to the securities included in the S&P 500® Index, which is the reference index for the futures contracts

entitled “The Underlyings — Indices — Discontinuation of an Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation” in the accompanying
product supplement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the accompanying product supplement, if a Determination Date (as defined in the
accompanying product supplement) has been postponed to the applicable Final Disrupted Determination Date (as defined in the
accompanying product supplement) and that day is a Disrupted Day (as defined in the accompanying product supplement), the
calculation agent will determine the closing level of the Index for that Determination Date on that Final Disrupted Determination
Date in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the closing level of the Index last in effect prior to the
commencement of the market disruption event (or prior to the non-trading day), using the official settlement price (or, if trading in
the relevant futures contract has been materially suspended or materially limited, the calculation agent’s good faith estimate of
the applicable settlement price that would have prevailed but for that suspension or limitation) at the close of the principal trading
session on that date of each futures contract most recently composing the Index, as well as any futures contract required to roll any
expiring futures contract in accordance with the method of calculating the Index.
Any values of the Index, and any values derived therefrom, included in this pricing supplement may be corrected, in the
event of manifest error or inconsistency, by amendment of this pricing supplement and the corresponding terms of the notes.

Hypothetical Payout Profile
The following table and graph illustrate the hypothetical total return and payment at maturity on the notes linked to a hypothetical
Index. 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 of 100.00;
●an Upside Leverage Factor of 2.00; and
●a Barrier Amount of 70.00 (equal to 70.00% of the hypothetical Initial Value).
The hypothetical Initial Value of 100.00 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and may not represent a likely actual
Initial Value. The actual Initial Value will be the closing level of the Index on the Pricing Date and will be provided in the pricing
supplement. For historical data regarding the actual closing levels of the Index, please see the historical information set forth under
“The Index” 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.

Excess Return Index
The following graph demonstrates the hypothetical payments at maturity on the notes for a sub-set of Index Returns detailed in
the table above (-50% to 50%). There can be no assurance that the performance of the Index will result in the return of any of your
principal amount.
How the Notes Work
Upside Scenario:
If the Final Value is greater than the Initial Value, investors will receive at maturity the $1,000 principal amount plus a return equal to
the Index Return times the Upside Leverage Factor of at least 2.00.
● Assuming a hypothetical Upside Leverage Factor of 2.00, if the closing level of the Index increases 10.00%, investors will
receive at maturity a return of 20.00%, or $1,200.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.
Par Scenario:
If the Final Value is equal to the Initial Value or is less than the Initial Value but greater than or equal to the Barrier Amount of
70.00% of the Initial Value, investors will receive at maturity the principal amount of their notes.
Downside Scenario:
If the Final Value is less than the Barrier Amount of 70.00% of the Initial Value, investors will lose 1% of the principal amount of their
notes for every 1% that the Final Value is less than the Initial Value.
● For example, if the closing level of the Index declines 60.00%, investors will lose 60.00% of their principal amount and receive
only $400.00 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.
●YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS —
The notes do not guarantee any return of principal. If the Final Value is less than the Barrier Amount, you will lose 1% of
the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Final Value is less than the Initial Value. Accordingly, under these
circumstances, you will lose more than 30.00% of your principal amount at maturity and could lose all of your principal amount
at maturity.
●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.

PS-5 | Structured Investments

Excess Return Index
●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 BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE BARRIER AMOUNT MAY TERMINATE ON THE OBSERVATION DATE —
If the Final Value is less than the Barrier Amount, the benefit provided by the Barrier Amount will terminate and you will be fully
exposed to any depreciation of the Index.
●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.
●THE NOTES DO NOT PAY INTEREST.
●YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THE E-MINI® S&P 500® FUTURES CONTRACTS (THE
“UNDERLYING FUTURES CONTRACTS”) OR THE SECURITIES INCLUDED IN THE INDEX UNDERLYING THE
UNDERLYING FUTURES CONTRACTS.
●THE RISK OF THE CLOSING LEVEL OF THE INDEX FALLING BELOW THE BARRIER AMOUNT IS GREATER IF THE
LEVEL OF THE INDEX IS VOLATILE.
●JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. IS CURRENTLY ONE OF THE COMPANIES THAT MAKE UP THE S&P 500® INDEX, THE
INDEX UNDERLYING THE UNDERLYING FUTURES CONTRACTS OF THE 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 Index.
●THE INDEX IS SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE UNDERLYING FUTURES CONTRACTS —
The Index tracks the excess return of the Underlying Futures Contracts. The price of an Underlying Futures Contract
depends not only on the level of the underlying index referenced by the Underlying Futures Contract, but also on a range
of other factors, including but not limited to the performance and volatility of the U.S. stock market, corporate earnings
reports, geopolitical events, governmental and regulatory policies and the policies of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (the
“Exchange”) on which the Underlying Futures Contracts trade. In addition, the futures markets are subject to temporary
distortions or other disruptions due to various factors, including the lack of liquidity in the markets, the participation of
speculators and government regulation and intervention. These factors and others can cause the prices of the Underlying
Futures Contracts to be volatile and could adversely affect the level of the Index and any payments on, and the value of, your
notes.
●SUSPENSION OR DISRUPTIONS OF MARKET TRADING IN THE UNDERLYING FUTURES CONTRACTS MAY
ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF YOUR NOTES —
Futures markets are subject to temporary distortions or other disruptions due to various factors, including lack of liquidity,
the participation of speculators, and government regulation and intervention. In addition, futures exchanges generally have
regulations that limit the amount of the Underlying Futures Contract price fluctuations that may occur in a single day. These
limits are generally referred to as “daily price fluctuation limits” and the maximum or minimum price of a contract on any given
day as a result of those limits is referred to as a “limit price.” Once the limit price has been reached in a particular contract, no
trades may be made at a price beyond the limit, or trading may be limited for a set period of time. Limit prices have the effect of
precluding trading in a particular contract or forcing the liquidation of contracts at potentially disadvantageous times or prices.
These circumstances could delay the calculation of the level of the Index and could adversely affect the level of the Index and
any payments on, and the value of, your notes.

PS-6 | Structured Investments
Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes Linked to the S&P 500® Futures
Excess Return Index
●THE PERFORMANCE OF THE INDEX WILL DIFFER FROM THE PERFORMANCE OF THE INDEX UNDERLYING THE
UNDERLYING FUTURES CONTRACTS —
A variety of factors can lead to a disparity between the performance of a futures contract on an equity index and the
performance of that equity index, including the expected dividend yields of the equity securities included in that equity index,
an implicit financing cost associated with futures contracts and policies of the exchange on which the futures contracts are
traded, such as margin requirements. Thus, a decline in expected dividends yields or an increase in margin requirements may
adversely affect the performance of the Index. In addition, the implicit financing cost will negatively affect the performance of
the Index, with a greater negative effect when market interest rates are higher. During periods of high market interest rates, the
Index is likely to underperform the equity index underlying the Underlying Futures Contracts, perhaps significantly.
●NEGATIVE ROLL RETURNS ASSOCIATED WITH THE UNDERLYING FUTURES CONTRACTS MAY ADVERSELY
AFFECT THE LEVEL OF THE INDEX AND THE VALUE OF THE NOTES —
The Index tracks the excess return of the Underlying Futures Contracts. Unlike common equity securities, futures contracts,
by their terms, have stated expirations. As the exchange-traded Underlying Futures Contracts approach expiration, they are
replaced by contracts of the same series that have a later expiration. For example, an Underlying Futures Contract notionally
purchased and held in June may specify a September expiration date. As time passes, the contract expiring in September
is replaced by a contract for delivery in December. This is accomplished by notionally selling the September contract and
notionally purchasing the December contract. This process is referred to as “rolling.” Excluding other considerations, if prices
are higher in the distant delivery months than in the nearer delivery months, the notional purchase of the December contract
would take place at a price that is higher than the price of the September contract, thereby creating a negative “roll return.”
Negative roll returns adversely affect the returns of the Underlying Futures Contracts and, therefore, the level of the Index and
any payments on, and the value of, the notes. Because of the potential effects of negative roll returns, it is possible for the level
of the Index to decrease significantly over time, even when the levels of the underlying index referenced by the Underlying
Futures Contracts are stable or increasing.
●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 Upside Leverage Factor.
●THE TAX DISCLOSURE IS SUBJECT TO CONFIRMATION —
The information set forth under “Tax Treatment” in this pricing supplement remains subject to confirmation by our special tax
counsel following the pricing of the notes. If that information cannot be confirmed by our tax counsel, you may be asked to
accept revisions to that information in connection with your purchase. Under these circumstances, if you decline to accept
revisions to that information, your purchase of the notes will be canceled.
●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.

PS-7 | Structured Investments
Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes Linked to the S&P 500® Futures
Excess Return Index
●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 level of the Index. 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.
●OTHER KEY RISK:
oTHE INDEX COMPRISES NOTIONAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES. THERE IS NO ACTUAL PORTFOLIO OF ASSETS
TO WHICH ANY PERSON IS ENTITLED OR IN WHICH ANY PERSON HAS ANY OWNERSHIP INTEREST.
The Index
The Index measures the performance of the nearest maturing quarterly Underlying Futures Contracts trading on the Chicago
Mercantile Exchange (the “Exchange”). The Underlying Futures Contracts are U.S. dollar-denominated futures contracts based
on the S&P 500® Index. The S&P 500® Index consists of stocks of 500 companies selected to provide a performance benchmark
for the U.S. equity markets. For additional information about the Index and the Underlying Futures Contracts, see Annex A in this
pricing supplement.

Tax Treatment
You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product
supplement no. 4-I. We expect to ask our special tax counsel to provide an opinion substantially consistent with the following
discussion at pricing.
Based on current market conditions, 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, 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.
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 “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 Index” 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.
Additional Terms Specific to the Notes
You may revoke your offer to purchase the notes at any time prior to the time at which we accept such offer by notifying the
applicable agent. We reserve the right to change the terms of, or reject any offer to purchase, the notes prior to their issuance. In
the event of any changes to the terms of the notes, we will notify you and you will be asked to accept such changes in connection
with your purchase. You may also choose to reject such changes, in which case we may reject your offer to purchase.
You should read this pricing supplement together with the accompanying prospectus, as supplemented by the accompanying
prospectus supplement relating to our Series A medium-term notes of which these notes are a part, the accompanying prospectus
addendum and the more detailed information contained in the accompanying product supplement and the accompanying
underlying supplement. This pricing supplement, together with the documents listed below, contains the terms of the notes and
supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous oral statements as well as any other written materials including preliminary or

Excess Return Index
Annex A
The S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index
All information contained in this pricing supplement regarding the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index (the “SPX Futures
Index”), including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, has been derived from
publicly available information, without independent verification. This information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change
by, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (“S&P Dow Jones”). The SPX Futures Index is calculated, maintained and published by S&P Dow
Jones. S&P Dow Jones has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue the publication of, the SPX Futures Index.
The SPX Futures Index is reported by Bloomberg L.P. under the ticker symbol “SPXFP.”
The SPX Futures Index measures the performance of the nearest maturing quarterly E-mini® S&P 500® futures contracts (Symbol:
ES) (the “Underlying Futures Contracts”) trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (the “Exchange”). E-mini® S&P 500® futures
contracts are U.S. dollar-denominated futures contracts based on the S&P 500® Index. For additional information about the S&P
500® Index, see “Equity Index Descriptions — The S&P U.S. Indices” in the accompanying underlying supplement. The SPX
Futures Index is calculated real-time from the price change of the Underlying Futures Contracts. The SPX Futures Index is an
“excess return” index that is based on price levels of the Underlying Futures Contracts as well as the discount or premium obtained
by “rolling” hypothetical positions in the Underlying Futures Contracts as they approach delivery. The SPX Futures Index does not
reflect interest earned on hypothetical, fully collateralized contract positions.
Index Rolling
As each Underlying Futures Contract approaches maturity, it is replaced by the next maturing Underlying Futures Contract in a
process referred to as “rolling.” The rolling of the SPX Futures Index occurs quarterly over a one-day rolling period (the “roll day”)
every March, June, September and December, effective after the close of trading five business days preceding the last trading date
of the maturing Underlying Futures Contract.
On any scheduled roll day, the occurrence of either of the following circumstances will result in an adjustment of the roll day
according to the procedure set forth in this section:
●An exchange holiday occurs on that scheduled roll day.
●The daily contract price of any Underlying Futures Contract within the index on that scheduled roll day is a limit price.
If either of the above events occur, the relevant roll day will take place on the next designated commodity index business day
whereby none of the circumstances identified take place.
If a disruption is approaching the last trading day of a contract expiration, the Index Committee (defined below) will convene to
determine the appropriate course of action, which may include guidance from the Exchange.
The Index Committee may change the date of a given rebalancing for reasons including market holidays occurring on or around the
scheduled rebalancing date. Any such change will be announced with proper advance notice where possible.
Index Calculations
The closing level of the SPX Futures Index on any trading day reflects the change in the daily contract price of the Underlying
Futures Contract since the immediately preceding trading day. On each quarterly roll day, the closing level of the SPX Futures
Index reflects the change from the daily contract price of the maturing Underlying Futures Contract on the immediately preceding
trading day to the daily contract price of the next maturing Underlying Futures Contract on that roll day.
The daily contract price of an Underlying Futures Contract will be the settlement price reported by the Exchange. If the Exchange
fails to open due to unforeseen circumstances, such as natural disasters, inclement weather, outages, or other events, the SPX
Futures Index uses the prior daily contract prices. In situations where the Exchange is forced to close early due to unforeseen
events, such as computer or electric power failures, weather conditions or other events, S&P Dow Jones calculates the closing
level of the SPX Futures Index based on (1) the daily contract price published by the Exchange, or (2) if no daily contract price is
available, the Index Committee determines the course of action and notifies clients accordingly.
Index Corrections and Recalculations
S&P Dow Jones reserves the right to recalculate an index at its discretion in the event that settlement prices are amended or upon
the occurrence of a missed index methodology event (deviation from what is stated in the methodology document).

Index Governance
An S&P Dow Jones index committee (the “Index Committee”) maintains the SPX Futures Index. All committee members are full-
time professional members of S&P Dow Jones’ staff. The Index Committee may revise index policy covering rules for including
currencies, the timing of rebalancing or other matters. The Index Committee considers information about changes to the SPX
Futures Index and related matters to be potentially market moving and material. Therefore, all Index Committee discussions are
confidential.
The Index Committees reserve the right to make exceptions when applying the methodology of the SPX Futures Index if the need
arises. In any scenario where the treatment differs from the general rules stated in this document or supplemental documents,
notice will be provided, whenever possible.
In addition to the daily governance of the SPX Futures Index and maintenance of its index methodology, at least once within any
12-month period, the Index Committee reviews the methodology to ensure the SPX Futures Index continues to achieve the stated
objectives, and that the data and methodology remain effective. In certain instances, S&P Dow Jones may publish a consultation
inviting comments from external parties.

Background on Futures Contracts
Overview of Futures Markets
Futures contracts are contracts that legally obligate the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price during a
specified future time period. Futures contracts are traded on regulated futures exchanges, in the over-the-counter market and
on various types of physical and electronic trading facilities and markets. An exchange-traded futures contract provides for the
purchase and sale of a specified type and quantity of an underlying asset or financial instrument during a stated delivery month
for a fixed price. A futures contract provides for a specified settlement month in which the cash settlement is made or in which
the underlying asset or financial instrument is to be delivered by the seller (whose position is therefore described as “short”) and
acquired by the purchaser (whose position is therefore described as “long”).

PS-13 | Structured Investments

Excess Return Index
No purchase price is paid or received on the purchase or sale of a futures contract. Instead, an amount of cash or cash equivalents
must be deposited with the broker as “initial margin.” This amount varies based on the requirements imposed by the exchange
clearing houses, but it may be lower than 5% of the notional value of the contract. This margin deposit provides collateral for the
obligations of the parties to the futures contract.
By depositing margin, which may vary in form depending on the exchange, with the clearing house or broker involved, a market
participant may be able to earn interest on its margin funds, thereby increasing the total return that it may realize from an
investment in futures contracts.
In the United States, futures contracts are traded on designated contract markets. At any time prior to the expiration of a futures
contract, a trader may elect to close out its position by taking an opposite position on the exchange on which the trader obtained
the position, subject to the availability of a liquid secondary market. This operates to terminate the position and fix the trader’s profit
or loss. Futures contracts are cleared through the facilities of a centralized clearing house and a brokerage firm, referred to as a
“futures commission merchant,” which is a member of the clearing house.
Unlike common equity securities, futures contracts, by their terms, have stated expirations. At a specific point in time prior to
expiration, trading in a futures contract for the current delivery month will cease. As a result, a market participant wishing to
maintain its exposure to a futures contract on a particular asset or financial instrument with the nearest expiration must close out
its position in the expiring contract and establish a new position in the contract for the next delivery month, a process referred to as
“rolling.” For example, a market participant with a long position in a futures contract expiring in November who wishes to maintain
a position in the nearest delivery month will, as the November contract nears expiration, sell the November contract, which serves
to close out the existing long position, and buy a futures contract expiring in December. This will “roll” the November position into
a December position, and, when the November contract expires, the market participant will still have a long position in the nearest
delivery month.
Futures exchanges and clearing houses in the United States are subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (the “CFTC”). Exchanges may adopt rules and take other actions that affect trading, including imposing speculative
position limits, maximum price fluctuations and trading halts and suspensions and requiring liquidation of contracts in certain
circumstances. Futures markets outside the United States are generally subject to regulation by foreign regulatory authorities
comparable to the CFTC. The structure and nature of trading on non-U.S. exchanges, however, may differ from the above
description.
Underlying Futures Contracts
E-mini® S&P 500® futures contracts are U.S. dollar-denominated futures contracts, based on the S&P 500® Index, traded on the
Exchange, representing a contract unit of $50 multiplied by the S&P 500® Index, measured in cents per index point.
E-mini® S&P 500® futures contracts listed for the nearest nine quarters, for each March, June, September and December, and the
nearest three Decembers are available for trading. Trading of the E-mini® S&P 500® futures contracts will terminate at 9:30 A.M.
Eastern time on the third Friday of the contract month.
The daily settlement prices of the E-mini® S&P 500® futures contracts are based on trading activity in the relevant contract (and in
the case of a lead month also being the expiry month, together with trading activity on lead month-second month spread contracts)
on the Exchange during a specified settlement period. The final settlement price of E-mini® S&P 500® futures contracts is based on
the opening prices of the component stocks in the S&P 500® Index, determined on the third Friday of the contract month.
