Insights
Notes offer leveraged upside of at least 4.65 with a 20% downside buffer, concentrated on the least performing stock.
The structure multiplies the appreciation of the least performing Reference Stock by an Upside Leverage Factor of at least 4.65 at maturity; if all Reference Stocks rise, payoff = principal + (least performing return × 4.65). The pricing supplement provides hypothetical payouts and an estimated value of $931.60 per $1,000 note.
Key dependencies include each Reference Stock's final closing price on the Observation Date and the calculation agent's adjustments for corporate events. Timing and final numeric terms are set on the Pricing Date; holders face limited liquidity and should plan to hold to maturity.
Payoffs are unsecured obligations, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., making credit risk central to value.
The notes are obligations of JPMorgan Financial and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.; any payment is subject to both entities' creditworthiness. The pricing supplement highlights that JPMorgan Financial is a finance subsidiary with limited independent assets.
Secondary market values will be affected by changes in issuer/guarantor credit spreads and the internal funding rate; investors should note repurchase pricing may be below original issue price and liquidity is dealer-dependent.

Hypothetical Payout Profile
The following table and graph illustrate the hypothetical total return and payment at maturity on the notes linked to three hypothetical
Reference Stocks. The “total return” as used in this pricing supplement is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from
comparing the payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note to $1,000. The hypothetical total returns and payments set forth
below assume the following:
• an Initial Value for the Least Performing Reference Stock of $100.00;
• an Upside Leverage Factor of 4.65; and
• a Buffer Amount of 20.00%.
The hypothetical Initial Value of the Least Performing Reference Stock of $100.00 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and
may not represent a likely actual Initial Value of any Reference Stock. The actual Initial Value of each Reference Stock will be the
closing price of one share of that Reference Stock on the Pricing Date and will be provided in the 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 total return or hypothetical payment at maturity set forth below is for illustrative purposes only and may not be the
actual total return or payment at maturity applicable to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following table and

Uncapped Buffered Return Enhanced Notes Linked to the Least Performing
of the Class A Common Stock of AppLovin Corporation, the Common Stock
of Salesforce, Inc. and the Common Stock of ServiceNow, Inc.
The following graph demonstrates the hypothetical payments at maturity on the notes for a range of Least Performing Stock Returns.
There can be no assurance that the performance of the Least Performing Reference Stock will result in the return of any of your
principal amount in excess of $200.00 per $1,000 principal amount note, subject to the credit risks of JPMorgan Financial and
JPMorgan Chase & Co.
How the Notes Work
Upside Scenario:
If the Final Value of each Reference Stock is greater than its Initial Value, investors will receive at maturity the $1,000 principal amount
plus a return equal to the Least Performing Stock Return times the Upside Leverage Factor of at least 4.65.
• Assuming a hypothetical Upside Leverage Factor of 4.65, if the closing price of one share of the Least Performing Reference Stock
increases 5.00%, investors will receive at maturity a return equal to 23.25%, or $1,232.50 per $1,000 principal amount note.
Par Scenario:
If (i) the Final Value of one or more Reference Stocks is greater than its Initial Value and the Final Value of the other Reference Stock
or Reference Stocks is equal to its Initial Value or is less than its Initial Value by up to the Buffer Amount of 20.00% or (ii) the Final
Value of each Reference Stock is equal to its Initial Value or is less than its Initial Value by up to the Buffer Amount of 20.00%,
investors will receive at maturity the principal amount of their notes.
Downside Scenario:
If the Final Value of any Reference Stock is less than its Initial Value by more than the Buffer Amount of 20.00%, investors will lose 1%
of the principal amount of their notes for every 1% that the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Stock is less than its Initial
Value by more than the Buffer Amount.
• For example, if the closing price of one share of the Least Performing Reference Stock declines 60.00%, investors will lose 40.00%
of their principal amount and receive only $600.00 per $1,000 principal amount note at maturity, calculated as follows:
$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-60.00% + 20.00%)] = $600.00
The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the notes shown above apply only if you hold the notes for their entire term.
These hypotheticals do not reflect the fees or expenses that would be associated with any sale in the secondary market. If these fees
and expenses were included, the hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments shown above would likely be lower.

Selected Risk Considerations
An investment in the notes involves significant risks. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” sections of the
accompanying prospectus supplement and product supplement and in Annex A to the accompanying prospectus addendum.
Risks Relating to the Notes Generally
• YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS —
The notes do not guarantee any return of principal. If the Final Value of any Reference Stock is less than its Initial Value by more
than 20.00%, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Final Value of the Least Performing
Reference Stock is less than its Initial Value by more than 20.00%. Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose up to
80.00% of your principal amount at maturity.
• CREDIT RISKS OF JPMORGAN FINANCIAL AND JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. —
Investors are dependent on our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s ability to pay all amounts due on the notes. Any actual or potential
change in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness or credit spreads, as determined by the market for taking that credit
risk, is likely to adversely affect the value of the notes. If we and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were to default on our payment
obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the notes and you could lose your entire investment.
• AS A FINANCE SUBSIDIARY, JPMORGAN FINANCIAL HAS NO INDEPENDENT OPERATIONS AND HAS LIMITED ASSETS
—
As a finance subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co., we have no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of
our securities and the collection of intercompany obligations. Aside from the initial capital contribution from JPMorgan Chase &
Co., substantially all of our assets relate to obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. to make payments under loans made by us to
JPMorgan Chase & Co. or under other intercompany agreements. As a result, we are dependent upon payments from JPMorgan
Chase & Co. to meet our obligations under the notes. We are not a key operating subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and in a
bankruptcy or resolution of JPMorgan Chase & Co. we are not expected to have sufficient resources to meet our obligations in
respect of the notes as they come due. If JPMorgan Chase & Co. does not make payments to us and we are unable to make
payments on the notes, you may have to seek payment under the related guarantee by JPMorgan Chase & Co., and that
guarantee will rank pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. For more
information, see the accompanying prospectus addendum.
• YOU ARE EXPOSED TO THE RISK OF DECLINE IN THE 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 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 NOTES DO NOT PAY INTEREST.
• YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE DIVIDENDS ON ANY REFERENCE STOCK OR HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO ANY
REFERENCE STOCK.
• LACK OF LIQUIDITY —
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Accordingly, the price at which you may be able to trade your notes is
likely to depend on the price, if any, at which JPMS is willing to buy the notes. You may not be able to sell your notes. The notes
are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity.
• THE FINAL TERMS AND VALUATION OF THE NOTES WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE PRICING SUPPLEMENT —
You should consider your potential investment in the notes based on the minimums for the estimated value of the notes and the
Upside Leverage Factor.
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
PS-5 | Structured Investments
Uncapped Buffered Return Enhanced Notes Linked to the Least Performing
of the Class A Common Stock of AppLovin Corporation, the Common Stock
of Salesforce, Inc. and the Common Stock of ServiceNow, Inc.
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.
• 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.

Risks Relating to the Reference Stocks
• NO AFFILIATION WITH ANY REFERENCE STOCK ISSUER —
We have not independently verified any of the information about any Reference Stock issuer contained in this pricing supplement.
You should undertake your own investigation into each Reference Stock and its issuer. We are not responsible for any Reference
Stock issuer’s public disclosure of information, whether contained in SEC filings or otherwise.
• LIMITED TRADING HISTORY WITH RESPECT TO THE CLASS A COMMON STOCK OF APPLOVIN COPORATION —
The Class A common stock of AppLovin Corporation commenced trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market on April 15, 2021 and
therefore has limited historical performance. Accordingly, historical information for this Reference Stock is available only since that
date. Past performance should not be considered indicative of future performance.
• THE ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION FOR EACH REFERENCE STOCK IS LIMITED AND MAY BE DISCRETIONARY —
The calculation agent will not make an adjustment in response to all events that could affect a Reference Stock. The calculation
agent may make adjustments in response to events that are not described in the accompanying product supplement to account for
any diluting or concentrative effect, but the calculation agent is under no obligation to do so or to consider your interests as a
holder of the notes in making these determinations.

Historical Information
The following graphs set forth the historical performance of each Reference Stock (other than the Class A common stock of AppLovin
Corporation) based on the weekly historical closing prices of one share of that Reference Stock from January 8, 2021 through February
13, 2026 and the historical performance of the Class A common stock of AppLovin Corporation based on the weekly historical closing
prices of one share of that Reference Stock from April 16, 2021 through February 13, 2026. The Class A common stock of AppLovin

Tax Treatment
You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product
supplement no. 4-I. The following discussion, when read in combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of our special tax
counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of notes.
Based on current market conditions, in the opinion of our special tax counsel it is reasonable to treat the notes as “open transactions”
that are not debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as more fully described in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax
Consequences — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Notes Treated as Open Transactions That Are Not Debt Instruments” in the
accompanying product supplement. Assuming this treatment is respected, the gain or loss on your notes should be treated as long-
term capital gain or loss if you hold your notes for more than a year, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of notes at the issue
price. However, the IRS or a court may not respect this treatment, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the
notes could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, in 2007 Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on
the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on
whether to require investors in these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a
number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as
the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated
accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject
to the “constructive ownership” regime, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary

income and impose a notional interest charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates,
any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the
tax consequences of an investment in the notes, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the
U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented
by this notice.
Section 871(m) of the Code and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 871(m)”) generally impose a 30% withholding
tax (unless an income tax treaty applies) on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid to Non-U.S. Holders with respect to certain
financial instruments linked to U.S. equities or indices that include U.S. equities. Section 871(m) provides certain exceptions to this
withholding regime, including for instruments linked to certain broad-based indices that meet requirements set forth in the applicable
Treasury regulations. Additionally, a recent IRS notice excludes from the scope of Section 871(m) instruments issued prior to January
1, 2027 that do not have a delta of one with respect to underlying securities that could pay U.S.-source dividends for U.S. federal
income tax purposes (each an “Underlying Security”). Based on certain determinations made by us, we expect that Section 871(m) will
not apply to the notes with regard to Non-U.S. Holders. Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with
this determination. Section 871(m) is complex and its application may depend on your particular circumstances, including whether you
enter into other transactions with respect to an Underlying Security. If necessary, further information regarding the potential application
of Section 871(m) will be provided in the pricing supplement for the notes. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential
application of Section 871(m) to the notes.
The Estimated Value of the Notes
The estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement is equal to the sum of the values of the following
hypothetical components: (1) a fixed-income debt component with the same maturity as the notes, valued using the internal funding
rate described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes. The estimated value of the
notes does not represent a minimum price at which JPMS would be willing to buy your notes in any secondary market (if any exists) at
any time. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied
funding rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference
may be based on, among other things, our and our affiliates’ view of the funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance,
operational and ongoing liability management costs of the notes in comparison to those costs for the conventional fixed income
instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions, which may prove
to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use of an internal
funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any secondary market
prices of the notes. For additional information, see “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Estimated Value of the Notes Is Derived by Reference to an Internal Funding Rate” in this
pricing supplement.
The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes is derived from internal pricing models of our
affiliates. These models are dependent on inputs such as the traded market prices of comparable derivative instruments and on
various other inputs, some of which are market-observable, and which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other
factors, as well as assumptions about future market events and/or environments. Accordingly, the estimated value of the notes is
determined when the terms of the notes are set based on market conditions and other relevant factors and assumptions existing at that
time.
The estimated value of the notes does not represent future values of the notes and may differ from others’ estimates. Different pricing
models and assumptions could provide valuations for the notes that are greater than or less than the estimated value of the notes. In
addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to be incorrect. On
future dates, the value of the notes could change significantly based on, among other things, changes in market conditions, our or
JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness, interest rate movements and other relevant factors, which may impact the price, if any, at
which JPMS would be willing to buy notes from you in secondary market transactions.
The estimated value of the notes 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 “Hypothetical Payout Profile” and “How the Notes Work” in this pricing supplement for an illustration of the risk-return profile
of the notes and “The 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.
