Insights
High coupon with principal risk tied to the least performing reference stock.
The notes pay at least 17.50% per annum in periodic Interest Payments but cap upside: principal repayment depends on the Least Performing Reference Stock at the final Review Date and may result in losses exceeding 50.00% or complete principal loss.
Key operational points: Strike Value set on February 23, 2026, automatic call feature begins on May 26, 2026, and estimated value per $1,000 note is approximately $970.00. Investor outcomes hinge on Review Date prices and holder decisions regarding secondary market liquidity.
Notes are expected to be treated as a Put plus a Deposit for U.S. federal tax purposes.
The issuer intends to treat each note as comprising a cash‑settled Put Option and a $1,000 Deposit; a portion of each Interest Payment (about 3.75% per annum of the Deposit) is intended to be reported as interest, with the remainder as Put Premium.
Tax treatment is not binding on the IRS; subsequent guidance could materially affect timing and character of income. Consult a tax adviser for individual consequences.

Hypothetical Payout Examples
The following examples illustrate payments on the notes linked to three hypothetical Reference Stocks, assuming a range of
performances for the hypothetical Least Performing Reference Stock on the Review Dates. Solely for purposes of this section, the
Least Performing Reference Stock with respect to each Review Date is the least performing of the Reference Stocks
determined based on the closing price of one share of each Reference Stock on that Review Date compared with its Initial
Value.
The hypothetical payments set forth below assume the following:
• a Strike Value for each Reference Stock of $100.00;
Review Dates Preceding
the Final Review Date
You will receive (a) $1,000 plus (b) the
Interest Payment applicable to the
Maturity Date.
The notes are not
automatically called.
Proceed to maturity
Final Review Date Payment at Maturity
The Final Value of each Reference Stock is
greater than or equal to its Trigger Value.
You will receive, in addition to the
Interest Payment applicable to the
Maturity Date:
$1,000 + ($1,000 ×Least Performing
Stock Return)
Under these circumstances, you will
lose a significant portion or all of your
principal amount at maturity.
The Final Value of any Reference Stock is less
than its Trigger Value.

• a Trigger Value for each Reference Stock of $50.00 (equal to 50.00% of its hypothetical Strike Value); and
• an Interest Rate of 17.50% per annum.
The hypothetical Strike Value of each Reference Stock of $100.00 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not
represent the actual Strike Value of any Reference Stock. The actual Strike Value of each Reference Stock is the closing price of one
share of that Reference Stock on the Strike Date and is specified under “Key Terms Relating to the Reference Stocks” in this pricing
supplement. For historical data regarding the actual closing prices of one share of each Reference Stock, please see the historical
information set forth under “The Reference Stocks” in this pricing supplement.
Each hypothetical payment set forth below is for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual payment applicable to a purchaser
of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.
Example 1 — Notes are automatically called on the first Review Date.
Date
Closing Price of One Share of
Least Performing Reference
Stock
First Review Date
$105.00
Notes are automatically called
Total Payment
$1,043.75 (4.375% return)
Because the closing price of one share of each Reference Stock on the first Review Date is greater than or equal to its Strike Value, the
notes will be automatically called for a cash payment, for each $1,000 principal amount note, of $1,014.5833 (or $1,000 plus the
Interest Payment applicable to the corresponding Interest Payment Date), payable on the applicable Call Settlement Date. When
added to the Interest Payments received with respect to prior Interest Payment Dates, the total amount paid, for each $1,000 principal
amount note, is $1,043.75. No further payments will be made on the notes.
Example 2 — Notes have NOT been automatically called and the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Stock is
greater than or equal to its Trigger Value.
Date
Closing Price of One Share of

Final Review Date
$90.00
Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Stock is greater
than or equal to its Trigger Value
Total Payment
$1,218.75 (21.875% return)
Because the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Stock is greater than or
equal to its Trigger Value, the payment at maturity, for each $1,000 principal amount note, will be $1,014.5833 (or $1,000 plus the
Interest Payment applicable to the Maturity Date). When added to the Interest Payments received with respect to the prior Interest
Payment Dates, the total amount paid, for each $1,000 principal amount note, is $1,218.75.

Total Payment
$618.75 (-38.125% return)
Because the notes have not been automatically called, the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Stock is less than its Trigger
Value and the Least Performing Stock Return is -60.00%, the payment at maturity will be $414.5833 per $1,000 principal amount note,
calculated as follows:
$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-60.00%)] + $14.5833 = $414.5833
PS-5 | Structured Investments
Auto Callable Yield Notes Linked to the Least Performing of the Common
Stock of Adobe Inc., the Common Stock of Blackstone Inc. and the Class A
Common Stock of Chewy, Inc.
When added to the Interest Payments received with respect to the prior Interest Payment Dates, the total amount paid, for each $1,000
principal amount note, is $618.75.
The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the notes shown above apply only if you hold the notes for their entire term
or until automatically called. These hypotheticals do not reflect the fees or expenses that would be associated with any sale in the
secondary market. If these fees and expenses were included, the hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments shown above would
likely be lower.
Selected Risk Considerations
An investment in the notes involves significant risks. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” sections of the
accompanying prospectus supplement and product supplement and in Annex A to the accompanying prospectus addendum.
Risks Relating to the Notes Generally
• YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS —
The notes do not guarantee any return of principal. If the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value of any
Reference Stock is less than its Trigger Value, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Final
Value of the Least Performing Reference Stock is less than its Strike Value. Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose
more than 50.00% 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.
• AS A FINANCE SUBSIDIARY, JPMORGAN FINANCIAL HAS NO INDEPENDENT OPERATIONS AND HAS LIMITED ASSETS
—
As a finance subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co., we have no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of
our securities and the collection of intercompany obligations. Aside from the initial capital contribution from JPMorgan Chase &
Co., substantially all of our assets relate to obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. to make payments under loans made by us to
JPMorgan Chase & Co. or under other intercompany agreements. As a result, we are dependent upon payments from JPMorgan
Chase & Co. to meet our obligations under the notes. We are not a key operating subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and in a
bankruptcy or resolution of JPMorgan Chase & Co. we are not expected to have sufficient resources to meet our obligations in
respect of the notes as they come due. If JPMorgan Chase & Co. does not make payments to us and we are unable to make
payments on the notes, you may have to seek payment under the related guarantee by JPMorgan Chase & Co., and that
guarantee will rank pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. For more
information, see the accompanying prospectus addendum.
• THE APPRECIATION POTENTIAL OF THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO THE SUM OF THE INTEREST PAYMENTS PAID OVER
THE TERM OF THE NOTES,
regardless of any appreciation of any Reference Stock, which may be significant. You will not participate in any appreciation of any
Reference Stock.
• YOU ARE EXPOSED TO THE RISK OF DECLINE IN THE PRICE OF ONE SHARE OF EACH REFERENCE STOCK —
Payments on the notes are not linked to a basket composed of the Reference Stocks and are contingent upon the performance of
each individual Reference Stock. Poor performance by any of the Reference Stocks over the term of the notes may result in the
notes not being automatically called on a Review Date, may negatively affect your payment at maturity and will not be offset or
mitigated by positive performance by any other Reference Stock.
• YOUR PAYMENT AT MATURITY WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE LEAST PERFORMING REFERENCE STOCK.
• THE BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE TRIGGER VALUE MAY TERMINATE ON THE FINAL REVIEW DATE —
If the Final Value of any Reference Stock is less than its Trigger Value and the notes have not been automatically called, the
benefit provided by the Trigger Value will terminate and you will be fully exposed to any depreciation of the Least Performing
Reference Stock.
PS-6 | Structured Investments
Auto Callable Yield Notes Linked to the Least Performing of the Common
Stock of Adobe Inc., the Common Stock of Blackstone Inc. and the Class A
Common Stock of Chewy, Inc.
• THE AUTOMATIC CALL FEATURE MAY FORCE A POTENTIAL EARLY EXIT —
If your notes are automatically called, the term of the notes may be reduced to as short as approximately three months and you will
not receive any Interest Payments after the applicable Call Settlement Date. There is no guarantee that you would be able to
reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the notes at a comparable return and/or with a comparable interest rate for a similar
level of risk. Even in cases where the notes are called before maturity, you are not entitled to any fees and commissions described
on the front cover of this pricing supplement.
• YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE DIVIDENDS ON ANY REFERENCE STOCK OR HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO ANY
REFERENCE STOCK.
• THE RISK OF THE CLOSING PRICE OF ONE SHARE OF A REFERENCE STOCK FALLING BELOW ITS TRIGGER VALUE IS
GREATER IF THE PRICE OF ONE SHARE OF THAT REFERENCE STOCK IS VOLATILE.
• LACK OF LIQUIDITY —
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Accordingly, the price at which you may be able to trade your notes is
likely to depend on the price, if any, at which JPMS is willing to buy the notes. You may not be able to sell your notes. The notes
are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity.
• THE FINAL TERMS AND VALUATION OF THE NOTES WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE PRICING SUPPLEMENT —
You should consider your potential investment in the notes based on the minimums for the estimated value of the notes and the
Interest Rate.
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest
• POTENTIAL CONFLICTS —
We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the notes. In performing these duties, our and JPMorgan Chase &
Co.’s economic interests are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes. It is possible that hedging or trading
activities of ours or our affiliates in connection with the notes could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the
value of the notes declines. Please refer to “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest” in the accompanying product
supplement.
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes
• THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES WILL BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE (PRICE TO PUBLIC) OF
THE NOTES —
The estimated value of the notes is only an estimate determined by reference to several factors. The original issue price of the
notes will exceed the estimated value of the notes because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the notes are
included in the original issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling commissions, the projected profits, if any, that our
affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging
our obligations under the notes. See “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
• THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE VALUES OF THE NOTES AND MAY DIFFER
FROM OTHERS’ ESTIMATES —
See “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
• THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES IS DERIVED BY REFERENCE TO AN INTERNAL FUNDING RATE —
The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied funding
rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference may
be based on, among other things, our and our affiliates’ view of the funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance,
operational and ongoing liability management costs of the notes in comparison to those costs for the conventional fixed income
instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions, which may
prove to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use of an
internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any
secondary market prices of the notes. See “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
PS-7 | Structured Investments
Auto Callable Yield Notes Linked to the Least Performing of the Common
Stock of Adobe Inc., the Common Stock of Blackstone Inc. and the Class A
Common Stock of Chewy, Inc.
• THE VALUE OF THE NOTES AS PUBLISHED BY JPMS (AND WHICH MAY BE REFLECTED ON CUSTOMER ACCOUNT
STATEMENTS) MAY BE HIGHER THAN THE THEN-CURRENT ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES FOR A LIMITED TIME
PERIOD —
We generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the notes will be partially paid back to you in
connection with any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period.
See “Secondary Market Prices of the Notes” in this pricing supplement for additional information relating to this initial period.
Accordingly, the estimated value of your notes during this initial period may be lower than the value of the notes as published by
JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer account statements).
• SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL LIKELY BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE OF THE
NOTES —
Any secondary market prices of the notes will likely be lower than the original issue price of the notes because, among other
things, secondary market prices take into account our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances and,
also, because secondary market prices may exclude selling commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, and estimated hedging
costs that are included in the original issue price of the notes. As a result, the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy the
notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, is likely to be lower than the original issue price. Any sale by you prior to
the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you.
• SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL BE IMPACTED BY MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS —
The secondary market price of the notes during their term will be impacted by a number of economic and market factors, which
may either offset or magnify each other, aside from the selling commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, estimated hedging
costs and the prices of one share of the Reference Stocks. Additionally, independent pricing vendors and/or third party broker-
dealers may publish a price for the notes, which may also be reflected on customer account statements. This price may be
different (higher or lower) than the price of the notes, if any, at which JPMS may be willing to purchase your notes in the secondary
market. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — Secondary
market prices of the notes will be impacted by many economic and market factors” in the accompanying product supplement.

Tax Treatment
You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product
supplement no. 4-I. Based on the advice of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, our special tax counsel, and on current market conditions, in
determining our reporting responsibilities we intend to treat the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes as units each comprising: (x)
a cash-settled Put Option written by you that is terminated if an automatic call occurs and that, if not terminated, in circumstances
where the payment due at maturity is less than $1,000 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest), requires you to pay us an amount equal
to that difference and (y) a Deposit of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note to secure your potential obligation under the Put Option,
as more fully described in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Notes Treated
as Units Each Comprising a Put Option and a Deposit” in the accompanying product supplement, and in particular in the subsection
thereof entitled “— Notes with a Term of More than One Year.” By purchasing the notes, you agree (in the absence of an
administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary) to follow this treatment and the allocation described in the following
paragraph. However, there are other reasonable treatments that the IRS or a court may adopt, in which case the timing and character
of any income or loss on the notes could be materially 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 on a number of issues, the most relevant of which for investors in the notes are the character of income or loss
(including whether the Put Premium might be currently included as ordinary income) and the degree, if any, to which income realized by
non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax. While it is not clear whether the notes would be viewed as similar to the typical
PS-10 | Structured Investments
Auto Callable Yield Notes Linked to the Least Performing of the Common
Stock of Adobe Inc., the Common Stock of Blackstone Inc. and the Class A
Common Stock of Chewy, Inc.
prepaid forward contract described in the notice, it is possible that 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.
In determining our reporting responsibilities, we intend to treat a portion of each Interest Payment equal to approximately 3.75% per
annum times the amount of the Deposit times the number of days in the applicable period divided by 365 as interest on the Deposit (so
that the amount allocated as interest on the Deposit will vary from Interest Payment to Interest Payment depending on the number of
days in the applicable period) and the remainder of each Interest Payment as Put Premium. Assuming that the treatment of the notes
as units each comprising a Put Option and a Deposit is respected, amounts treated as interest on the Deposit will be taxed as ordinary
income, while the Put Premium will not be taken into account prior to sale or settlement, including a settlement following an automatic
call.
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 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 all aspects of the U.S. federal
income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the 2007
notice. Purchasers who are not initial purchasers of notes at the issue price should also consult their tax advisers with respect to the
tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including possible alternative treatments, as well as the allocation of the purchase
price of the notes between the Deposit and the Put Option.
The Estimated Value of the Notes
The estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement is equal to the sum of the values of the following
hypothetical components: (1) a fixed-income debt component with the same maturity as the notes, valued using the internal funding
rate described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes. The estimated value of the
notes does not represent a minimum price at which JPMS would be willing to buy your notes in any secondary market (if any exists) at
any time. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied
funding rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference
may be based on, among other things, our and our affiliates’ view of the funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance,
operational and ongoing liability management costs of the notes in comparison to those costs for the conventional fixed income
instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions, which may prove
to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use of an internal
funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any secondary market
prices of the notes. For additional information, see “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Estimated Value of the Notes Is Derived by Reference to an Internal Funding Rate” in this
pricing supplement.
The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes is derived from internal pricing models of our
affiliates. These models are dependent on inputs such as the traded market prices of comparable derivative instruments and on
various other inputs, some of which are market-observable, and which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other
factors, as well as assumptions about future market events and/or environments. Accordingly, the estimated value of the notes is
determined when the terms of the notes are set based on market conditions and other relevant factors and assumptions existing at that
time.
The estimated value of the notes does not represent future values of the notes and may differ from others’ estimates. Different pricing
models and assumptions could provide valuations for the notes that are greater than or less than the estimated value of the notes. In
addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to be incorrect. On
future dates, the value of the notes could change significantly based on, among other things, changes in market conditions, our or
PS-11 | Structured Investments
Auto Callable Yield Notes Linked to the Least Performing of the Common
Stock of Adobe Inc., the Common Stock of Blackstone Inc. and the Class A
Common Stock of Chewy, Inc.
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 — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — 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 — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices
of the Notes — The Value of the Notes as Published by JPMS (and Which May Be Reflected on Customer Account Statements) May
Be Higher Than the Then-Current Estimated Value of the Notes for a Limited Time Period” in this pricing supplement.
Supplemental Use of Proceeds
The notes are offered to meet investor demand for products that reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the
notes. See “How the Notes Work” and “Hypothetical Payout Examples” in this pricing supplement for an illustration of the risk-return
profile of the notes and “The Reference Stocks” in this pricing supplement for a description of the market exposure provided by the
notes.
The original issue price of the notes is equal to the estimated value of the notes plus the selling commissions paid to JPMS and other
affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, plus (minus) the projected profits (losses) that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent
in hedging our obligations under the notes, plus the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes.
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. 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 indicative pricing terms, correspondence, trade ideas, structures for
implementation, sample structures, fact sheets, brochures or other educational materials of ours. You should carefully consider, among
other things, the matters set forth in the “Risk Factors” sections of the accompanying prospectus supplement and the accompanying
product supplement and in Annex A to the accompanying prospectus addendum, as the notes involve risks not associated with
conventional debt securities. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers before you invest in the
notes.
