Rhea-AI Filing Summary

JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering principal-at-risk market-linked securities tied to the weaker of the SPDR® Gold Trust (GLD) and iShares® Silver Trust (SLV), maturing on February 2, 2029. Each security has a $1,000 principal amount, with a price to the public of $1,000, selling fees of $23.25 and proceeds to the issuer of $976.75 per security. The notes pay a contingent quarterly coupon at a rate to be set on the pricing date, but at least 18.65% per annum, only if the lowest-performing fund is at or above 70% of its starting price; missed coupons can be recovered later via a memory feature. From April 2026 through October 2028, the notes are auto‑callable if the weaker fund is at or above its starting price, returning principal plus due coupons. If not called, at maturity investors receive $1,000 per note only if the weaker fund is at or above its 70% threshold; otherwise payoff is $1,000 plus $1,000 times the negative fund return, exposing investors to losses beyond 30% and potentially a total loss of principal. The preliminary estimated value is about $957.10 per note and will not be less than $920.00 when finalized, reflecting embedded selling costs and hedging economics.

Market Linked Securities — Auto-Callable with Contingent Coupon with Memory Feature and Contingent Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Lowest Performing of the SPDR® Gold Trust and the iShares® Silver Trust due February 2, 2029

n  Linked to the lowest performing of the SPDR® Gold Trust and the iShares® Silver Trust (each referred to as a “Fund”)

n  Unlike ordinary debt securities, the securities do not provide for fixed payments of interest, do not repay a fixed amount of principal at maturity and are subject to potential automatic call prior to maturity upon the terms described below. Whether the securities pay a contingent coupon, whether the securities are automatically called prior to maturity and, if they are not automatically called, whether you are repaid the principal amount of your securities at maturity will depend, in each case, on the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day. The lowest performing Fund on any calculation day is the Fund that has the lowest fund return on that calculation day, calculated for each Fund as the percentage change from its starting price to its fund closing price on that calculation day.

n  Contingent Coupon Payments. The securities will pay a contingent coupon payment on a quarterly basis until the earlier of maturity or automatic call if, and only if, the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on the calculation day for the relevant quarter is greater than or equal to its threshold price. If the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on a calculation day is less than its threshold price, you will not receive any contingent coupon payment for the relevant quarter. However, if the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on one or more calculation days is less than its threshold price and, on a subsequent calculation day, the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund is greater than or equal to its threshold price, the securities will pay the contingent coupon payment due for that subsequent calculation day plus all previously unpaid contingent coupon payments (without interest on amounts previously unpaid). If the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund is less than its threshold price on every calculation day, you will not receive any contingent coupon payments throughout the entire term of the securities. The contingent coupon rate will be determined on the pricing date and will be at least 18.65% per annum.

n  Automatic Call. If the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on any of the quarterly calculation days from April 2026 to October 2028, inclusive, is greater than or equal to its starting price, we will automatically call the securities for the principal amount plus a final contingent coupon payment and any previously unpaid contingent coupon payments.

n  Potential Loss of Principal. If the securities are not automatically called prior to maturity, you will be repaid the principal amount at maturity if, and only if, the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is greater than or equal to its threshold price. If the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is less than its threshold price, you will have full downside exposure to the decrease in the price of that Fund from its starting price, and you will lose more than 30%, and possibly all, of the principal amount of your securities.

n  The threshold price for each Fund is equal to 70% of its starting price.

n  You will not participate in any appreciation of either Fund.

n  Investors may lose a significant portion or all of the principal amount.

n  Your return on the securities will depend solely on the performance of the lowest performing Fund on each calculation day. You will not benefit in any way from the performance of the better performing Fund. Therefore, you will be adversely affected if either Fund performs poorly, even if the other Fund performs favorably.

n  The securities 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 securities is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial, as issuer of the securities, and the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co., as guarantor of the securities.

n  No exchange listing; designed to be held to maturity

The securities have complex features and investing in the securities involves risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-2 of the accompanying prospectus supplement, Annex A to the accompanying prospectus addendum,“Risk Factors” beginning on page PS-11 of the accompanying product supplement and “Selected Risk Considerations” on page PS-12 in this pricing supplement.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the securities or passed upon the accuracy or the adequacy of this pricing supplement or the accompanying product supplement, underlying supplement, prospectus supplement, prospectus and prospectus addendum. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

(3)In respect of certain securities sold in this offering, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, which we refer to as JPMS, may pay a fee of up to $3.00 per security to selected dealers in consideration for marketing and other services in connection with the distribution of the securities to other dealers.

If the securities priced today, the estimated value of the securities would be approximately $957.10 per security. The estimated value of the securities, when the terms of the securities are set, will be provided in the pricing supplement and will not be less than $920.00 per security. See “The Estimated Value of the Securities” in this pricing supplement for additional information.

The securities are not bank deposits, are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency and are not obligations of, or guaranteed by, a bank.

Issue Date1: February 4, 2026
Stated Maturity Date1, 2: February 2, 2029
Principal Amount: $1,000 per security.  References in this pricing supplement to a “security” are to a security with a principal amount of $1,000.
Contingent Coupon Payment:

On each contingent coupon payment date, you will receive a contingent coupon payment at a per annum rate equal to the contingent coupon rate if, and only if, the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on the related calculation day is greater than or equal to its threshold price.  In addition, if the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on one or more calculation days is less than its threshold price and, on a subsequent calculation day, the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund is greater than or equal to its threshold price, on the contingent coupon payment date related to that subsequent calculation day, you will receive the contingent coupon payment due for that subsequent calculation day plus all previously unpaid contingent coupon payments (without interest on amounts previously unpaid).

Each “contingent coupon payment,” if any, will be calculated per security as follows:

($1,000 × contingent coupon rate) / 4.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the accompanying product supplement, any contingent coupon payment will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.

If the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on any calculation day is less than its threshold price, you will not receive any contingent coupon payment on the related contingent coupon payment date.  If the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on a calculation day is less than its threshold price and the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on each subsequent calculation day up to and including the final calculation day is less than its threshold price, you will not receive any unpaid contingent coupon payment in respect of any of those calculation days. In addition, if the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund is less than its threshold price on all calculation days, you will not receive any contingent coupon payments over the term of the securities.

If the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on any of the calculation days from April 2026 to October 2028, inclusive, is greater than or equal to its starting price, the securities will be automatically called, and on the related call settlement date you will be entitled to receive a cash payment per security in U.S. dollars equal to the principal amount per security plus a final contingent coupon payment and any previously unpaid contingent coupon payments.

If the securities are automatically called, they will cease to be outstanding on the related call settlement date and you will have no further rights under the securities after that call settlement date.

Calculation Days1, 2: Quarterly, on the 30th day of each January, April, July and October, commencing April 2026 and ending January 2029.  We refer to January 30, 2029 as the “final calculation day.”

$1,000 + ($1,000 × fund return of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day)

If the securities are not automatically called prior to maturity and the ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is less than its threshold price, you will lose more than 30%, and possibly all, of the principal amount of your securities at maturity.

Any return on the securities will be limited to the sum of your contingent coupon payments, if any.  You will not participate in any appreciation of either Fund, but you will have full downside exposure to the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day if its ending price is less than its threshold price.

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Lowest Performing of the SPDR® Gold Trust and the iShares® Silver Trust due February 2, 2029

The Estimated Value of the Securities

The estimated value of the securities 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 securities, valued using the internal funding rate described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the securities. The estimated value of the securities does not represent a minimum price at which JPMS would be willing to buy your securities in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the securities 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 securities as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the securities 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 securities. The use of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the securities and any secondary market prices of the securities. For additional information, see “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Securities — The Estimated Value of the Securities 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 securities 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 securities is determined when the terms of the securities are set based on market conditions and other relevant factors and assumptions existing at that time. See “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Securities — The Estimated Value of the Securities Does Not Represent Future Values of the Securities and May Differ from Others’ Estimates” in this pricing supplement.

The estimated value of the securities will be lower than the original issue price of the securities because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the securities are included in the original issue price of the securities. These costs include the selling commissions paid to WFS (which WFS has advised us includes selling concessions and distribution expense fees), the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the securities and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the securities. 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 securities 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 Securities — The Estimated Value of the Securities Will Be Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to Public) of the Securities” in this pricing supplement.

Secondary Market Prices of the Securities

For information about factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the securities, 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 securities will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your securities by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period that is intended to be approximately three months. The length of any such initial period reflects the structure of the securities, whether our affiliates expect to earn a profit in connection with our hedging activities, the estimated costs of hedging the securities 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 Securities — The Value of the Securities as Published by JPMS (and Which May Be Reflected on Customer Account Statements) May Be Higher Than the Then-Current Estimated Value of the Securities for a Limited Time Period” in this pricing supplement.

Supplemental Use of Proceeds

The securities are offered to meet investor demand for products that reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the securities. See “Hypothetical Examples and Returns” in this pricing supplement for an illustration of the risk-return profile of the securities and “The SPDR® Gold Trust” and “The iShares® Silver Trust” in this pricing supplement for a description of the market exposure provided by the securities.

The original issue price of the securities is equal to the estimated value of the securities plus the selling commissions paid to WFS (which WFS has advised us includes selling concessions and distribution expense fees), plus (minus) the projected profits (losses) that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the securities, plus the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the securities.

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Lowest Performing of the SPDR® Gold Trust and the iShares® Silver Trust due February 2, 2029

Supplemental Terms of the Securities

The securities are not commodity futures contracts or swaps and are not regulated under the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as amended (the “Commodity Exchange Act”). The securities 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.

Any values of the Funds, 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 securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the indenture governing the securities, that amendment will become effective without consent of the holders of the securities or any other party.

The securities are not appropriate for all investors. The securities may be an appropriate investment for you if all of the following statements are true:

§You do not seek an investment that produces fixed periodic interest or coupon payments or other non-contingent sources of current income.
§You seek an investment with contingent coupon payments at a rate of at least 18.65% per annum (to be provided in the pricing supplement) until the earlier of maturity or automatic call, if, and only if, the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on the applicable calculation day is greater than or equal to its threshold price.
§You do not anticipate that the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund will be less than its threshold price on any calculation day, and you are willing and able to accept the risk that, if it is, you may receive few or no contingent coupon payments over the term of the securities.
§You are willing and able to accept the risk that, if the securities are not automatically called and the ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is less than its threshold price, you will lose more than 30%, and possibly all, of the principal amount of your securities at maturity.
§You are willing and able to accept the risk that the securities may be automatically called and that you may not be able to reinvest your money in an alternative investment with comparable risk and yield.
§You are willing and able to forgo participation in any appreciation of either Fund, and you understand that any return on your investment will be limited to the contingent coupon payments that may be payable on the securities.
§You understand that the return on the securities will depend solely on the performance of the lowest performing Fund on each calculation day and that you will not benefit in any way from the performance of the better performing Fund.
§You understand that the securities are riskier than alternative investments linked to only one of the Funds or linked to a basket composed of the Funds.
§You understand and are willing to accept the full downside risks of all of the Funds.
§You are willing and able to accept the risks associated with an investment linked to the performance of the lowest performing Fund, as explained in more detail in the “Selected Risk Considerations” section of this pricing supplement.
§You understand and accept that you will not be entitled to receive distributions that may be paid to holders of the Funds, nor will you have any rights with respect to the Funds or the commodities held by the Funds.
§You do not seek an investment for which there will be an active secondary market and you are willing and able to hold the securities to maturity if the securities are not automatically called.
§You are willing and able to assume our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s credit risks for all payments on the securities.

The securities may not be an appropriate investment for you if any of the following statements are true:

§You seek an investment that produces fixed periodic interest or coupon payments or other non-contingent sources of current income.
§You seek an investment that provides for the full repayment of principal at maturity.
§You anticipate that the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund will be less than its threshold price on any calculation day, and you are unwilling or unable to accept the risk that, if it is, you may receive few or no contingent coupon payments over the term of the securities.
§You are unwilling or unable to accept the risk that, if the securities are not automatically called and the ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is less than its threshold price, you will lose more than 30%, and possibly all, of the principal amount of your securities at maturity.
§You are unwilling or unable to accept the risk that the securities may be automatically called and that you may not be able to reinvest your money in an alternative investment with comparable risk and yield.
§You seek exposure to any upside performance of either Fund or you seek an investment with a return that is not limited to the contingent coupon payments that may be payable on the securities.
§You seek exposure to a basket composed of both Funds or a similar investment in which the overall return is based on a blend of the performances of the Funds, rather than solely on the lowest performing Fund.
§You are unwilling to accept the risk of exposure to each of the Funds.
§You are unwilling or unable to accept the risks associated with an investment linked to the performance of the lowest performing Fund, as explained in more detail in the “Selected Risk Considerations” section of this pricing supplement.

Determining Payment On A Contingent Coupon Payment Date and at Maturity

If the securities have not been previously automatically called, on each contingent coupon payment date, you will either receive a contingent coupon payment (plus any previously unpaid contingent coupon payments) or you will not receive a contingent coupon payment, depending on the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on the related calculation day, as follows:

Step 1: Determine which Fund is the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day. The lowest performing Fund on any calculation day is the Fund that has the lowest fund return on that calculation day, calculated for each Fund as the percentage change from its starting price to its fund closing price on that calculation day.

Step 2: Determine whether a contingent coupon payment (plus any previously unpaid contingent coupon payments) is payable on the applicable contingent coupon payment date based on the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day, as follows:

 

On the stated maturity date, if the securities have not been automatically called prior to the stated maturity date, you will receive (in addition to the final contingent coupon payment and any previously unpaid contingent coupon payments, if due) a cash payment per security (the maturity payment amount) calculated as follows:

Step 1: Determine which Fund is the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day. The lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is the Fund that has the lowest fund return on that calculation day, calculated for each Fund as the percentage change from its starting price to its ending price (i.e., its fund closing price on the final calculation day).

Step 2: Calculate the maturity payment amount based on the ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day, as follows:

Hypothetical Payout Profile

 

The following profile illustrates the potential maturity payment amount on the securities (excluding the final contingent coupon payment and any previously unpaid contingent coupon payments, if due) for a range of hypothetical performances of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day from its starting price to its ending price, assuming the securities have not been automatically called prior to the stated maturity date. As this profile illustrates, in no event will you have a positive rate of return based solely on the maturity payment amount received at maturity; any positive return will be based solely on the contingent coupon payments, if any, received during the term of the securities. This graph has been prepared for purposes of illustration only. Your actual return will depend on the actual ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day and whether you hold your securities to stated maturity. The performance of the better performing Fund is not relevant to your return on the securities.

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the securities involves significant risks. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing directly in either or both of the Funds or their components. Some of the risks that apply to an investment in the securities are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the securities generally in the “Risk Factors” sections of the accompanying prospectus supplement and the accompanying product supplement and in Annex A to the accompanying prospectus addendum. You should not purchase the securities unless you understand and can bear the risks of investing in the securities.

Risks Relating to the Securities Generally

·If the Securities Are Not Automatically Called and the Ending Price of the Lowest Performing Fund on the Final Calculation Day Is Less Than Its Threshold Price, You Will Lose More Than 30%, and Possibly All, of the Principal Amount of Your Securities at Maturity — The securities do not guarantee the full return of principal. If the securities are not automatically called, the return on the securities at maturity is linked to the performance of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day and will depend on whether, and the extent to which that Fund has depreciated. If the ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is less than its threshold price, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of the securities for every 1% that its ending price is less than its starting price. Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose more than 30%, and possibly all, of your principal amount at maturity.
·The Securities Do Not Guarantee the Payment of Interest and May Not Pay Any Interest at All — If the securities have not been automatically called, we will make a contingent coupon payment (plus any previously unpaid contingent coupon payments, without interest on amounts previously unpaid) on a contingent coupon payment date if, and only if, the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on the related calculation day is greater than or equal to its threshold price. If the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on a calculation day is less than its threshold price, no contingent coupon payment will be made on the related contingent coupon payment date. Accordingly, if the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on each calculation day is less than its threshold price, you will not receive any contingent coupon payments over the term of the securities.
·The Potential Return on the Securities Is Limited to the Sum of Any Contingent Coupon Payments and You Will Not Participate in Any Appreciation of Either Fund — The potential return on the securities is limited to the sum of any contingent coupon payments that may be paid over the term of the securities, regardless of any appreciation of either Fund, which may be significant. You will not participate in any appreciation of either Fund. Therefore, your return on the securities may be lower than the return on a direct investment in the Funds.
·You Will Be Subject to Reinvestment Risk — If your securities are automatically called early, the term of the securities may be reduced to as short as approximately three months. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the securities at a comparable return for a similar level of risk in the event the securities are automatically called prior to maturity. Even in cases where the securities are called before maturity, you are not entitled to any fees and commissions described on the front cover of this pricing supplement.
·The Securities Are Subject to the 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 securities. 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 securities. If we and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were to default on our payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the securities 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 securities. 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 securities as they come due. If JPMorgan Chase & Co. does not make payments to us and we are unable to make payments on the securities, 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 Price of Each Fund — Payments on the securities are not linked to a basket composed of the Funds and are contingent upon the performance of each individual Fund. Poor performance by either of the Funds over the term of the securities may result in the securities not being automatically called on a call settlement date, may negatively affect whether you will receive a contingent coupon payment on any contingent coupon payment date and may negatively affect your maturity payment amount and will not be offset or mitigated by positive performance by the other Fund. Any payment on the securities will be determined by the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day.

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Lowest Performing of the SPDR® Gold Trust and the iShares® Silver Trust due February 2, 2029

·Your Maturity Payment Amount Will Be Determined by the Lowest Performing Fund — Because, if the securities have not been automatically called, the maturity payment amount will be determined based on the performance of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day, you will not benefit from the performance of the other Fund.  Accordingly, if the ending price of either Fund is less than its threshold price, you will lose a significant portion or all of your principal amount at maturity, even if the ending price of the other Fund is greater than or equal to its starting price.
·You Will Be Subject to Risks Resulting from the Relationship Between the Funds — It is preferable from your perspective for the Funds to be correlated with each other so that their prices will tend to increase or decrease at similar times and by similar magnitudes. By investing in the securities, you assume the risk that the Funds will not exhibit this relationship. The less correlated the Funds, the more likely it is that one of the Funds will be performing poorly at any time over the term of the securities. All that is necessary for the securities to perform poorly is for one of the Funds to perform poorly; the performance of the better performing Fund is not relevant to your return on the securities. It is impossible to predict what the relationship between the Funds will be over the term of the securities.
·Higher Contingent Coupon Rates Are Associated with Greater Risk — The securities offer contingent coupon payments at a higher rate, if paid, than the fixed rate we would pay on conventional debt securities of the same maturity. These higher potential contingent coupon payments are associated with greater levels of expected risk as of the pricing date as compared to conventional debt securities, including the risk that you may not receive a contingent coupon payment on one or more, or any, contingent coupon payment dates and the risk that you may lose a significant portion, and possibly all, of the principal amount per security at maturity. The volatility of the Funds and the correlation between the Funds are important factors affecting this risk. Volatility is a measure of the degree of variation in the price of each Fund over a period of time. Volatility can be measured in a variety of ways, including on a historical basis or on an expected basis as implied by option prices in the market. The correlation of a pair of Funds represents a statistical measurement of the degree to which the returns of those Funds are similar to each other over a given period in terms of timing and direction. Greater expected volatility of the Funds or lower correlation between the Funds as of the pricing date may result in a higher contingent coupon rate, but it also represents a greater expected likelihood as of the pricing date that the fund closing price of at least one Fund will be less than its threshold price on one or more calculation days, such that you will not receive one or more, or any, contingent coupon payments during the term of the securities, and that the ending price of at least one Fund will be less than its threshold price such that you will lose a significant portion, and possibly all, of the principal amount per security at maturity. In general, the higher the contingent coupon rate is relative to the fixed rate we would pay on conventional debt securities, the greater the expected risk that you will not receive one or more, or any, contingent coupon payments during the term of the securities and that you will lose a significant portion, and possibly all, of the principal amount per security at maturity.
·The Benefit Provided by the Threshold Price May Terminate on the Final Calculation Day — If the ending price of either Fund is less than its threshold price and the securities have not been automatically called, the benefit provided by the threshold price will terminate and you will be fully exposed to any depreciation of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.
·You Will Have No Ownership Rights in Either Fund or Any of the Commodities Held by Either Fund — Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing directly in either or both of the Funds or any of the commodities held by either Fund or exchange-traded or over-the-counter instruments based on any of the foregoing.  As an investor in the securities, you will not have any ownership interests or rights in any of the foregoing.
·Lack of Liquidity — The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Accordingly, the price at which you may be able to trade your securities is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which JPMS or WFS is willing to buy the securities. You may not be able to sell your securities. The securities are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your securities to maturity.
·The Final Terms and Estimated Valuation of the Securities Will Be Provided in the Pricing Supplement — You should consider your potential investment in the securities based on the minimums for the estimated value of the securities and the contingent coupon rate.
·The U.S. Federal Tax Consequences of the Securities Are Uncertain, and May Be Adverse to a Holder of the Securities — See “Tax Considerations” below and “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Notes Generally — The tax consequences of an investment in the notes are uncertain” in the accompanying product supplement.

Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest

·Potential Conflicts — We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the securities, including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the securities and making the assumptions used to determine the pricing of the securities and the estimated value of the securities when the terms of the securities are set, which we refer to as the estimated value of the securities. In performing these duties, our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s economic interests and the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the

PS-13

Market Linked Securities—Auto-Callable with Contingent Coupon with Memory Feature and Contingent Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Lowest Performing of the SPDR® Gold Trust and the iShares® Silver Trust due February 2, 2029

securities. In addition, our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s business activities, including hedging and trading activities, could cause our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s economic interests to be adverse to yours and could adversely affect any payment on the securities and the value of the securities. It is possible that hedging or trading activities of ours or our affiliates in connection with the securities could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the securities declines. Please refer to “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest” in the accompanying product supplement for additional information about these risks.

In addition, the benchmark price of each Fund’s fund underlying commodity (as defined under “The SPDR® Gold Trust” and “The iShares® Silver Trust” below) is administered by the London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”) or an independent service provider appointed by the LBMA, and we are, or one of our affiliates is, a price participant that contributes to the determination of that price. Furthermore, our affiliate is the custodian of each Fund. We and our affiliates will have no obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the securities in taking any actions in connection with our roles as a price participant and a custodian that might affect the Funds or the securities.

Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Securities

·The Estimated Value of the Securities Will Be Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to Public) of the Securities — The estimated value of the securities is only an estimate determined by reference to several factors. The original issue price of the securities will exceed the estimated value of the securities because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the securities are included in the original issue price of the securities. 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 securities and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the securities. See “The Estimated Value of the Securities” in this pricing supplement.
·The Estimated Value of the Securities Does Not Represent Future Values of the Securities and May Differ from Others’ Estimates — The estimated value of the securities is determined by reference to internal pricing models of our affiliates when the terms of the securities are set. This estimated value of the securities is based on market conditions and other relevant factors existing at that time and assumptions about market parameters, which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors. Different pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations for the securities that are greater than or less than the estimated value of the securities. 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 securities 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 securities from you in secondary market transactions. See “The Estimated Value of the Securities” in this pricing supplement.
·The Estimated Value of the Securities Is Derived by Reference to an Internal Funding Rate — The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the securities 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 securities as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the securities 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 securities. The use of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the securities and any secondary market prices of the securities. See “The Estimated Value of the Securities” in this pricing supplement.
·The Value of the Securities as Published by JPMS (and Which May Be Reflected on Customer Account Statements) May Be Higher Than the Then-Current Estimated Value of the Securities for a Limited Time Period — We generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the securities will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your securities 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. See “Secondary Market Prices of the Securities” in this pricing supplement for additional information relating to this initial period. Accordingly, the estimated value of your securities during this initial period may be lower than the value of the securities as published by JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer account statements).
·Secondary Market Prices of the Securities Will Likely Be Lower Than the Original Issue Price of the Securities — Any secondary market prices of the securities will likely be lower than the original issue price of the securities 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 securities. As a result, the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy securities 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 stated maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you. See the immediately following risk consideration for information about additional factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the securities.

Market Linked Securities—Auto-Callable with Contingent Coupon with Memory Feature and Contingent Downside

The securities are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your securities to maturity. See “— Risks Relating to the Securities Generally — Lack of Liquidity” above.

·Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Securities — As described under “The Estimated Value of the Securities” in this pricing supplement, the securities can be thought of as securities that combine a fixed-income debt component with one or more derivatives.  As a result, the factors that influence the values of fixed-income debt and derivative instruments will also influence the terms of the securities at issuance and their value in the secondary market.  Accordingly, the secondary market price of the securities 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 the Funds, including:
·any actual or potential change in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness or credit spreads;
·customary bid-ask spreads for similarly sized trades;
·our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances;
·the actual and expected volatility of the Funds;
·the time to maturity of the securities;
·supply and demand trends for the commodities held by the Funds;
·the actual and expected positive or negative correlation between the Funds, or the actual or expected absence of any such correlation;
·the occurrence of certain events affecting a Fund that may or may not require an adjustment to the adjustment factor of that Fund;
·interest and yield rates in the market generally; and
·a variety of other economic, financial, political, regulatory, geographical and judicial events.

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

Risks Relating to the Funds

·There Are Risks Associated with the Funds — Although shares of each Fund are listed for trading on a securities exchange and a number of similar products have been trading on a securities exchange for varying periods of time, there is no assurance that an active trading market will continue for the shares of that Fund or that there will be liquidity in the trading market.
·The Funds Are Not Investment Companies or Commodity Pools and Will Not Be Subject to Regulation Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, As Amended, or the Commodity Exchange Act — Accordingly, you will not benefit from any regulatory protections afforded to persons who invest in regulated investment companies or commodity pools.
·The Performance and Market Value of Each Fund, Particularly During Periods of Market Volatility, May Not Correlate with the Performance of that Fund’s Fund Underlying Commodity As Well As the Net Asset Value Per Share — Each Fund does not fully replicate the performance of its fund underlying commodity due to the fees and expenses charged by the Funds or by restrictions on access to the relevant fund underlying commodity due to other circumstances.  Each Fund does not generate any income, and as each Fund regularly sells its fund underlying commodity to pay for ongoing expenses, the amount of its fund underlying commodity represented by each share gradually declines over time.  Each Fund sells its fund underlying commodity to pay expenses on an ongoing basis irrespective of whether the trading price of the shares rises or falls in response to changes in the price of its fund underlying commodity.  The sale by a Fund of its fund underlying commodity to pay expenses at a time of low prices for its fund underlying commodity could adversely affect the value of the securities.  Additionally, there is a risk that part or all of a Fund’s holdings in its fund underlying commodity could be lost, damaged or stolen.  Access to that Fund’s fund underlying commodity could also be restricted by natural events (such as an earthquake) or human actions (such as a terrorist attack).  All of these factors may lead to a lack of correlation between the performance of each Fund and its fund underlying commodity.  In addition, because the shares of each Fund are traded on a securities exchange and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the market value of one share of each Fund may differ from the net asset value per share of that Fund.

During periods of market volatility, a Fund’s fund underlying commodity may be unavailable in the secondary market, market participants may be unable to calculate accurately the net asset value per share of a Fund and the liquidity of a Fund may be adversely affected. This kind of market volatility may also disrupt the ability of market participants to create and redeem shares of a Fund. Further, market volatility may adversely affect, sometimes materially, the prices at which market participants are willing to buy and sell shares of a Fund. As a result, under these circumstances, the market value of shares of a Fund may vary substantially from the net asset value per share of that Fund. For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of each Fund may not correlate

PS-15

Market Linked Securities—Auto-Callable with Contingent Coupon with Memory Feature and Contingent Downside

with the performance of its fund underlying commodity as well as the net asset value per share of that Fund, which could materially and adversely affect the value of the securities in the secondary market and/or reduce any payment on the securities.

·The Securities Are Subject to Risks Associated with Gold with Respect to the SPDR® Gold Trust — The investment objective of the SPDR® Gold Trust is to reflect the performance of the price of gold bullion, less the expenses of the SPDR® Gold Trust’s operations. The price of gold is primarily affected by the global demand for and supply of gold. The market for gold bullion is global, and gold prices are subject to volatile price movements over short periods of time and are affected by numerous factors, including macroeconomic factors, such as the structure of and confidence in the global monetary system, expectations regarding the future rate of inflation, the relative strength of, and confidence in, the U.S. dollar (the currency in which the price of gold is usually quoted), interest rates, gold borrowing and lending rates and global or regional economic, financial, political, regulatory, judicial or other events. Gold prices may be affected by industry factors, such as industrial and jewelry demand as well as lending, sales and purchases of gold by the official sector, including central banks and other governmental agencies and multilateral institutions that hold gold. Additionally, gold prices may be affected by levels of gold production, production costs and short-term changes in supply and demand due to trading activities in the gold market. From time to time, above-ground inventories of gold may also influence the market. It is not possible to predict the aggregate effect of all or any combination of these factors. The price of gold has recently been, and may continue to be, extremely volatile.
·The Securities Are Subject to Risks Associated with Silver with Respect to the iShares® Silver Trust — The iShares® Silver Trust seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of silver, less the iShares® Silver Trust’s expenses and liabilities. The price of silver is primarily affected by global demand for and supply of silver. Silver prices can fluctuate widely and may be affected by numerous factors. These include general economic trends, increases in silver hedging activity by silver producers, significant changes in attitude by speculators and investors in silver, technical developments, substitution issues and regulation, as well as specific factors including industrial and jewelry demand, expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, the relative strength of the U.S. dollar (the currency in which the price of silver is generally quoted) and other currencies, interest rates, central bank sales, forward sales by producers, global or regional political or economic events and production costs and disruptions in major silver-producing countries, such as Mexico, China and Peru. The demand for and supply of silver affect silver prices, but not necessarily in the same manner as supply and demand affect the prices of other commodities. The supply of silver consists of a combination of new mine production and existing stocks of bullion and fabricated silver held by governments, public and private financial institutions, industrial organizations and private individuals. In addition, the price of silver has on occasion been subject to very rapid short-term changes due to speculative activities. From time to time, above-ground inventories of silver may also influence the market. The major end uses for silver include industrial applications, jewelry and silverware. It is not possible to predict the aggregate effect of all or any combination of these factors.
·There Are Risks Relating to Commodities Trading on the LBMA — The investment objective of the SPDR® Gold Trust is to reflect the performance of the price of gold bullion, less the expenses of SPDR® Gold Trust’s operations, and the iShares® Silver Trust seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of silver, less the iShares® Silver Trust’s expenses and liabilities. The prices of gold and silver are determined by the LBMA or an independent service provider appointed by the LBMA. The LBMA is a self-regulatory association of bullion market participants. Although all market-making members of the LBMA are supervised by the Bank of England and are required to satisfy a capital adequacy test, the LBMA itself is not a regulated entity. If the LBMA should cease operations, or if bullion trading should become subject to a value added tax or other tax or any other form of regulation currently not in place, the role of the LBMA gold and silver prices as a global benchmark for the values of gold and silver may be adversely affected. The LBMA is a principals’ market, which operates in a manner more closely analogous to an over-the-counter physical commodity market than regulated futures markets, and certain features of U.S. futures contracts are not present in the context of LBMA trading. For example, there are no daily price limits on the LBMA which would otherwise restrict fluctuations in the prices of LBMA contracts. In a declining market, it is possible that prices would continue to decline without limitation within a trading day or over a period of trading days. The LBMA may alter, discontinue or suspend calculation or dissemination of the LBMA gold and silver prices, which could adversely affect the value of the securities. The LBMA, or an independent service provider appointed by the LBMA, will have no obligation to consider your interests in calculating or revising the LBMA gold and silver prices.
·Single Commodity Prices Tend to Be More Volatile Than, and May Not Correlate with, the Prices of Commodities Generally — Each Fund is linked to a single commodity and not to a diverse basket of commodities or a broad-based commodity index. Each Fund’s fund underlying commodity may not correlate to the price of commodities generally and may diverge significantly from the prices of commodities generally. As a result, the securities carry greater risk and may be more volatile than securities linked to the prices of more commodities or a broad-based commodity index.
·The Anti-Dilution Protection Is Limited and May Be Discretionary — The calculation agent will, in its sole discretion, adjust the adjustment factor, which will be set initially at 1.0, of a Fund for certain events affecting that Fund, such as stock splits. However, the calculation agent is not required to make an adjustment for every event that can affect a Fund. If such a dilution event occurs and the calculation agent is not required to make an adjustment, the value of the securities may be materially and adversely affected. You should also be aware that the calculation agent may make adjustments in response to events that are not described in the accompanying product supplement to account for any dilutive or concentrative effect, but the calculation agent is under no obligation to do so.

Hypothetical Returns  

If the securities are automatically called:

If the securities are automatically called prior to stated maturity, you will receive the principal amount of your securities plus a final contingent coupon payment and any previously unpaid contingent coupon payments on the call settlement date. In the event the securities are automatically called, your total return on the securities will equal any contingent coupon payments received prior to the call settlement date and the contingent coupon payment(s) received on the call settlement date.

If the securities are not automatically called:

If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity, the following table illustrates, for a range of hypothetical fund returns of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day, the hypothetical maturity payment amount payable at stated maturity per security (excluding the final contingent coupon payment and any previously unpaid contingent coupon payments, if due).

Hypothetical fund return of lowest
performing Fund on final
calculation day
Hypothetical maturity payment
amount per security
75.00% $1,000.00
60.00% $1,000.00
50.00% $1,000.00
40.00% $1,000.00
30.00% $1,000.00
20.00% $1,000.00
10.00% $1,000.00
0.00% $1,000.00
-10.00% $1,000.00
-20.00% $1,000.00
-30.00% $1,000.00
-31.00% $690.00
-40.00% $600.00
-50.00% $500.00
-60.00% $400.00
-75.00% $250.00
-90.00% $100.00
-100.00% $0.00

The above figures do not take into account contingent coupon payments, if any, received during the term of the securities. As evidenced above, in no event will you have a positive rate of return based solely on the maturity payment amount received at maturity; any positive return will be based solely on the contingent coupon payments, if any, received during the term of the securities.

The above figures are for purposes of illustration only and may have been rounded for ease of analysis. If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity, the actual amount you will receive at stated maturity will depend on the actual ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day. The performance of the better performing Fund is not relevant to your return on the securities.

Hypothetical Contingent Coupon Payments

 

Set forth below are examples that illustrate how to determine whether a contingent coupon payment will be paid (and whether any previously unpaid contingent coupon payments will be paid) and whether the securities will be automatically called, if applicable, on a contingent coupon payment date prior to the stated maturity date. The following examples reflect a hypothetical contingent coupon rate of 18.65% per annum (the minimum contingent coupon rate; the actual contingent coupon rate will be provided in the pricing supplement) and assume the hypothetical starting price, threshold price and fund closing prices for each Fund indicated in the examples. The terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples do not represent any actual starting price, threshold price or fund closing prices. These examples are for purposes of illustration only and the values used in the examples may have been rounded for ease of analysis.

The hypothetical starting price of $100.00 for each Fund has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and may not represent a likely actual starting price for either Fund. The actual starting price for each Fund will be the fund closing price of that Fund on the pricing date and will be specified in the pricing supplement. For historical data regarding the actual closing prices of the Funds, please see the historical information set forth under “The SPDR® Gold Trust” and “The iShares® Silver Trust” in this pricing supplement.

Example 1 – Hypothetical Calculation Day #1. The hypothetical fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on hypothetical calculation day #1 is greater than its hypothetical threshold price and less than its hypothetical starting price. As a result, investors receive a contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date and the securities are not automatically called.

  SPDR® Gold Trust iShares® Silver Trust
Hypothetical starting price: $100.00 $100.00
Hypothetical fund closing price on hypothetical calculation day #1: $95.00 $115.00
Hypothetical threshold price: $70.00 $70.00

Hypothetical fund return

(fund closing price on hypothetical calculation day #1 – starting price) / starting price:

-5.00% 15.00%

Step 1: Determine which Fund is the lowest performing Fund on hypothetical calculation day #1.

In this example, the SPDR® Gold Trust has the lowest fund return and is, therefore, the lowest performing Fund on hypothetical calculation day #1.

Step 2: Determine whether a contingent coupon payment will be payable and whether the securities will be automatically called on the applicable contingent coupon payment date.

Since the hypothetical fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on hypothetical calculation day #1 is greater than its hypothetical threshold price, but less than its hypothetical starting price, you would receive a contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date and the securities would not be automatically called. The contingent coupon payment would be equal to $46.63 per security, determined as follows: (i) $1,000 multiplied by 18.65% per annum divided by (ii) 4, rounded to the nearest cent.

Example 2Hypothetical Calculation Day #2. The hypothetical fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on hypothetical calculation day #2 is less than its hypothetical threshold price. As a result, investors do not receive a contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date and the securities are not automatically called.

  SPDR® Gold Trust iShares® Silver Trust
Hypothetical starting price: $100.00 $100.00
Hypothetical fund closing price on hypothetical calculation day #2: $125.00 $55.00
Hypothetical threshold price: $70.00 $70.00

Hypothetical fund return

(fund closing price on hypothetical calculation day #2 – starting price) / starting price:

25.00% -45.00%

Step 1: Determine which Fund is the lowest performing Fund on hypothetical calculation day #2.

In this example, the iShares® Silver Trust has the lowest fund return and is, therefore, the lowest performing Fund on hypothetical calculation day #2.

Step 2: Determine whether a contingent coupon payment will be payable and whether the securities will be automatically called on the applicable contingent coupon payment date.

The securities would not be automatically called, even though the hypothetical fund closing price of the better performing Fund is greater than its hypothetical starting price. In addition, since the hypothetical fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on hypothetical calculation day #2 is less than its hypothetical threshold price, you would not receive a contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date. As this example illustrates, whether you receive a contingent coupon payment and whether the securities are automatically called on a contingent coupon payment date will depend solely on the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day. The performance of the better performing Fund is not relevant to your return on the securities.

Example 3 Hypothetical Calculation Day #3. The hypothetical fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on hypothetical calculation day #3 is greater than its hypothetical starting price. As a result, the securities are automatically called on the applicable contingent coupon payment date for the principal amount plus a final contingent coupon payment (plus the previously unpaid contingent coupon payment).

  SPDR® Gold Trust iShares® Silver Trust
Hypothetical starting price: $100.00 $100.00
Hypothetical fund closing price on hypothetical calculation day #3: $105.00 $115.00
Hypothetical threshold price: $70.00 $70.00

Hypothetical fund return

(fund closing price on hypothetical calculation day #3 – starting price) / starting price:

5.00% 15.00%

Step 1: Determine which Fund is the lowest performing Fund on hypothetical calculation day #3.

In this example, the SPDR® Gold Trust has the lowest fund return and is, therefore, the lowest performing Fund on hypothetical calculation day #3.

Step 2: Determine whether a contingent coupon payment will be payable and whether the securities will be automatically called on the applicable contingent coupon payment date.

Since the hypothetical fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on hypothetical calculation day #3 is greater than its hypothetical starting price, the securities would be automatically called and you would receive the principal amount plus a final contingent coupon payment. Because no contingent coupon payment was received in connection with hypothetical calculation day #2, you would also receive the previously unpaid contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date, which is also referred to as the call settlement date. On the call settlement date, you would receive $1,093.26 per security. You will not receive any further payments after the call settlement date.

Hypothetical Payment at Stated Maturity

Set forth below are examples of calculations of the maturity payment amount payable at stated maturity, assuming that the securities have not been automatically called prior to stated maturity and assuming the hypothetical starting price, threshold price and ending prices for each Fund indicated in the examples. The terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples do not represent any actual starting price, threshold price or ending price. These examples are for purposes of illustration only and the values used in the examples may have been rounded for ease of analysis.

The hypothetical starting price of $100.00 for each Fund has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and may not represent a likely actual starting price for either Fund. The actual starting price for each Fund will be the fund closing price of that Fund on the pricing date and will be specified in the pricing supplement. For historical data regarding the actual closing prices of the Funds, please see the historical information set forth under “The SPDR® Gold Trust” and “The iShares® Silver Trust” in this pricing supplement.

Example 1. The hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is greater than its hypothetical starting price, the maturity payment amount is equal to the principal amount of your securities at maturity and you receive a final contingent coupon payment (plus any previously unpaid contingent coupon payments).

  SPDR® Gold Trust iShares® Silver Trust
Hypothetical starting price: $100.00 $100.00
Hypothetical ending price: $135.00 $145.00
Hypothetical threshold price: $70.00 $70.00

Hypothetical fund return

(ending price – starting price) / starting price:

35.00% 45.00%

Step 1: Determine which Fund is the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

In this example, the SPDR® Gold Trust has the lowest fund return and is, therefore, the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

Step 2: Determine the maturity payment amount based on the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

Since the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is greater than its hypothetical threshold price, the maturity payment amount would equal the principal amount. Although the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is significantly greater than its hypothetical starting price in this scenario, the maturity payment amount will not exceed the principal amount.

In addition to any contingent coupon payments received during the term of the securities, on the stated maturity date, you would receive $1,000 per security as well as a final contingent coupon payment (plus any previously unpaid contingent coupon payments) because the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is greater than its hypothetical threshold price.

Example 2. The hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is less than its hypothetical starting price but greater than its hypothetical threshold price, the maturity payment amount is equal to the principal amount of your securities at maturity and you receive a final contingent coupon payment (plus any previously unpaid contingent coupon payments).

  SPDR® Gold Trust iShares® Silver Trust
Hypothetical starting price: $100.00 $100.00
Hypothetical ending price: $115.00 $90.00
Hypothetical threshold price: $70.00 $70.00

Hypothetical fund return

(ending price – starting price) / starting price:

15.00% -10.00%

Step 1: Determine which Fund is the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

In this example, the iShares® Silver Trust has the lowest fund return and is, therefore, the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

Step 2: Determine the maturity payment amount based on the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

Since the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is greater than its hypothetical threshold price, you would be repaid the principal amount of your securities at maturity.

In addition to any contingent coupon payments received during the term of the securities, on the stated maturity date, you would receive $1,000 per security as well as a final contingent coupon payment (plus any previously unpaid contingent coupon payments) because the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is greater than its hypothetical threshold price.

Example 3. The hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is less than its hypothetical threshold price, the maturity payment amount is less than the principal amount of your securities at maturity and you do not receive a final contingent coupon payment or any previously unpaid contingent coupon payments.

  SPDR® Gold Trust iShares® Silver Trust
Hypothetical starting price: $100.00 $100.00
Hypothetical ending price: $40.00 $120.00
Hypothetical threshold price: $70.00 $70.00

Hypothetical fund return

(ending price – starting price) / starting price:

-60.00% 20.00%

Step 1: Determine which Fund is the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

In this example, the SPDR® Gold Trust has the lowest fund return and is, therefore, the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

Step 2: Determine the maturity payment amount based on the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

Since the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is less than its hypothetical threshold price, you would lose a portion of the principal amount of your securities and receive the maturity payment amount equal to $400.00 per security, calculated as follows:

= $1,000 + ($1,000 × fund return of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day)

= $1,000 + ($1,000 × -60.00%)

= $400.00

In addition to any contingent coupon payments received during the term of the securities, on the stated maturity date you would receive $400.00 per security, but no final contingent coupon payment or any previously unpaid contingent coupon payments.

These examples illustrate that you will not participate in any appreciation of either Fund, but will be fully exposed to a decrease in the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day if its ending price is less than its threshold price, even if the ending price of the other Fund has appreciated or has not declined below its threshold price.

To the extent that the starting price, threshold price and ending price of the lowest performing Fund differ from the values assumed above, the results indicated above would be different.

The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the securities shown above apply only if you hold the securities 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.

Tax Considerations

You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. WF-1-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 securities.

In determining our reporting responsibilities we intend to treat (i) the securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons and (ii) any contingent coupon 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 securities 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; 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 securities, 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 securities, 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 coupon payments is uncertain, and although we believe it is reasonable to take a position that contingent coupon 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 coupon 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 securities 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 securities, including the possibility of obtaining a refund of any withholding tax and the certification requirement described above.

In the event of any withholding on the securities, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so withheld.

FAQ

What are JPMorgan AMJB 2029 gold and silver linked notes?

The securities are principal-at-risk structured notes issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., that pay contingent coupons and return of principal based on the performance of the worse of the SPDR® Gold Trust (GLD) and iShares® Silver Trust (SLV) through February 2, 2029.

How do the contingent coupons work on the JPMorgan AMJB notes?

Each quarter you receive a contingent coupon at a rate of at least 18.65% per annum only if the fund closing price of the lowest performing fund on that calculation day is at or above its 70% threshold price. Missed coupons can be paid later if the condition is again satisfied, due to the memory feature.

When can the JPMorgan AMJB notes be automatically called before 2029?

On any quarterly calculation day from April 2026 to October 2028, if the fund closing price of the lowest performing fund is at or above its starting price, the notes are automatically called. Investors then receive the $1,000 principal per note plus the applicable contingent coupon and any previously unpaid contingent coupons.

What happens at maturity if the AMJB notes are not called early?

If the notes are not automatically called, at maturity investors receive the maturity payment amount per note. This equals $1,000 if the ending price of the lowest performing fund is at or above its 70% threshold, or $1,000 + $1,000 × fund return if it is below the threshold, which means losses greater than 30% and possibly a total loss of principal.

What are the pricing economics and estimated value of these JPMorgan notes?

Per note, the price to the public is $1,000, with $23.25 in fees and commissions and $976.75 in proceeds to the issuer. If priced on the illustrated date, the estimated value would be about $957.10, and when finalized will not be less than $920.00, reflecting selling compensation, hedging costs and issuer funding assumptions.

Are the JPMorgan AMJB structured notes principal protected or insured?

No. The securities are principal at risk, are not bank deposits, are not insured by the FDIC or any government agency, and are unsecured obligations of the issuer, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. Investors can lose more than 30% and up to all of their principal.

How are the AMJB notes expected to be treated for U.S. federal tax purposes?

The issuer intends to treat the securities as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons. Contingent coupons are treated as ordinary income. The filing notes that the tax treatment is not certain and that future IRS or Treasury guidance on prepaid forwards could materially affect tax consequences, possibly retroactively.
