Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. |
General
| · | If
the notes are not automatically called and the Ending Index Level is equal to or greater than the Index Strike Level, at maturity investors
will receive uncapped exposure of any appreciation of the S&P 500® Index, subject to a contingent minimum return of
at least 20.00%. |
| · | Investors
should be willing to forgo interest and dividend payments and, if the notes are not automatically called and the Ending Index Level is
less than 80.00% of the Index Strike Level, be willing to lose some or all of their principal amount at maturity. |
| · | The
notes will be automatically called if the closing level of the Index is greater than or equal to the Index Strike Level on the Review
Date. |
| · | The
notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, which we refer to as JPMorgan Financial,
the payment on which is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. Any payment on the notes is subject
to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial, as issuer of the notes, and the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co., as guarantor

Key Terms
| Issuer: |
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, a direct, wholly owned finance subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. |
| Guarantor: |
JPMorgan Chase & Co. |
| Index: |
The S&P 500® Index (Bloomberg ticker: SPX) |
| Automatic Call: |
On the Review Date, if the closing level of the Index is greater than or equal to the Index Strike Level, the notes will be automatically called for a cash payment plus a call premium amount per note that will be payable on the Call Settlement Date. |
| Payment if Called: |
If the notes are automatically called, on the Call Settlement Date you will receive one payment of $1,000 plus a call premium amount equal to at least 10.00%. The actual call premium will be provided in the pricing supplement and will not be less than 10.00%. |
| Payment at Maturity: |
If the notes have not been automatically called and the Ending Index Level is equal to or greater than the Index Strike Level, at maturity you will receive a cash payment that provides you with a return per $1,000 principal amount note equal to the Index Return, subject to the Contingent Minimum Return. Accordingly, under these circumstances, your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows: |
| |
$1,000 + [$1,000 × the greater of (i) the Contingent Minimum Return and (ii) the Index Return] |
| |
If the notes have not been automatically called and the Ending Index Level is less than the Index Strike Level by up to the Contingent Buffer Amount, you will receive the principal amount of your notes at maturity.
If the notes have not been automatically called and the Ending Index Level is less than the Index Strike Level by more than the Contingent Buffer Amount, at maturity you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Ending Index Level is less than the Index Strike Level. Under these circumstances, your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows: |
| |
$1,000 + ($1,000 × Index Return) |
| |
If the notes have not been automatically called and the Ending Index Level is less than 80.00% of the Index Strike Level, you will lose more than 20.00% of your principal amount at maturity and may lose all of your principal amount at maturity. |

What Is the Total Return on the
Notes at Maturity, Assuming a Range of Performances for the Index?
The following table and examples illustrate the hypothetical
total return and the hypothetical payment at maturity on the notes. 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.
Each hypothetical total return or payment at maturity set forth below assumes a hypothetical Index Strike Level of 100.00, a call premium
of 10.00% and a Contingent Minimum Return of 20.00%, and reflects the Contingent Buffer Amount of 20.00%. The hypothetical Index Strike
Level of 100.00 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual Index Strike Level. The actual call premium
and Contingent Minimum Return will be provided in the pricing supplement and will not be less than 10.00% and 20.00%, respectively. Each
hypothetical total return or 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 in the examples below
have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Hypothetical Examples of Amount
Payable at Maturity
The following examples illustrate how the total payment
at maturity in different hypothetical scenarios is calculated.
Example 1: On the Review Date, the level of the Index
increases from the Index Strike Level of 100.00 to a closing level of 102.50. The notes are automatically called.
Because the closing level of the Index on the Review
Date is greater than the Index Strike Level of 100.00, the notes are automatically called and the investor receives a payment on the Call
Settlement Date of $1,100.00 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × 10.00%)
= $1,100.00
Example 2: The notes are not automatically called
on the Review Date, and the level of the Index increases from the Index Strike Level of 100.00 to an Ending Index Level of 102.50.
Because the Ending Index Level of 102.50 is greater
than the Index Strike Level of 100.00 and the Index Return of 2.50% is less than the Contingent Minimum Return of 20.00%, the investor
receives a payment at maturity of $1,200.00 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × 20.00%)
= $1,200.00
Example 3: The notes are not automatically called
on the Review Date, and the level of the Index decreases from the Index Strike Level of 100.00 to an Ending Index Level of 80.00.
Although the Index Return is negative, because the Ending
Index Level of 80.00 is less than the Index Strike Level of 100.00 by up to the Contingent Buffer Amount of 20.00%, the investor receives
a payment at maturity of $1,000.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.
Example 4: The notes are not automatically called
on the Review Date, and the level of the Index increases from the Index Strike Level of 100.00 to an Ending Index Level of 130.00.
Because the Ending Index Level of 130.00 is greater
than the Index Strike Level of 100.00 and the Index Return of 30.00% is greater than the Contingent Minimum Return of 20.00%, the investor
receives a payment at maturity of $1,300.00 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × 30.00%)
= $1,300.00
Example 5: The level of the Index decreases from
the Index Strike Level of 100.00 to an Ending Index Level of 50.00.
Because the Ending Index Level of 50.00 is less than
the Index Strike Level of 100.00 by more than the Contingent Buffer Amount of 20.00% and the Index Return is -50.00%, the investor receives
a payment at maturity of $500.00 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × -50.00%)
= $500.00
The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on
the notes shown above apply only if you hold the notes for their entire term or until automatically called. These hypotheticals
do not reflect 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 Purchase Considerations
| · | APPRECIATION POTENTIAL — If the
closing level of the Index is greater than or equal to the Index Strike Level on the Review Date, your investment will yield a payment
per $1,000 principal amount note of $1,000 plus a call premium of at least 10.00%. The actual call premium will be provided in
the pricing supplement and will not be less than 10.00%. |
If the notes are not automatically called, the notes
provide the opportunity to earn an uncapped return equal to any positive Index Return, subject to the Contingent Minimum Return. If the
Ending Index Level is greater than or equal to the Index Strike Level, in addition to the principal amount, you will receive at maturity
at least the Contingent Minimum Return of 20.00% for a minimum payment at maturity of $1,200.00 for every $1,000 principal amount note.
The actual Contingent Minimum Return will be provided in the pricing supplement and will not be less than 20.00%. The notes are not subject
to a predetermined maximum gain and, accordingly, any return at maturity will be determined based on the movement of the level of the
Index. Because the notes are our unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, the payment of which is fully and unconditionally guaranteed
by JPMorgan Chase & Co., payment of any amount on the notes is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become
due and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s ability to pay its obligations as they become due.
| · | POTENTIAL EARLY EXIT WITH APPRECIATION AS
A RESULT OF AUTOMATIC CALL FEATURE — While the original term of the notes is approximately two years, the notes will be automatically
called before maturity if the closing level of the Index on the Review Date is greater than or equal to the Index Strike Level, and you
will be entitled to a call premium of at least 10.00%. Even in the case 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. |
| · | LOSS OF PRINCIPAL BEYOND CONTINGENT BUFFER
AMOUNT — If the notes are not automatically called, we will pay you your principal back at maturity if the Ending Index Level
is equal to or greater than 80.00% of the Index Strike Level. If the Ending Index Level is less than the Index Strike Level by more than
the Contingent Buffer Amount, for every 1% that the Ending Index Level is less than the Index Strike Level, you will lose an amount equal
to 1% of the principal amount of your notes. Under these circumstances, you will lose more than 20.00% of your principal amount at maturity
and may lose all of your principal amount at maturity. |
| · | RETURN LINKED TO THE S&P 500®
INDEX — The S&P 500® Index consists of stocks of 500 companies selected to provide a performance benchmark
for the U.S. equity markets. For additional information about the S&P 500® Index, see “Equity Index Descriptions
— The S&P U.S. Indices” in the accompanying underlying 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. The following discussion, when read in combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of our special tax counsel, Latham
& Watkins LLP, regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of notes. |
Based on current market conditions and the advice of
our special tax counsel, we believe 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, 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 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 (such an index, a “Qualified Index”). 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
| | |
| JPMorgan Structured Investments — | PS- 4 |
| Auto Callable Contingent Buffered Equity Notes Linked to the S&P 500® Index | |
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.
Withholding under legislation commonly referred to as
“FATCA” may (if the notes are recharacterized as debt instruments) apply to amounts treated as interest paid with respect
to the notes, as well as to payments of gross proceeds of a taxable disposition, including redemption at maturity, of a note, although
under recently proposed regulations (the preamble to which specifies that taxpayers are permitted to rely on them pending finalization),
no withholding will apply to payments of gross proceeds (other than any amount treated as interest). You should consult your tax adviser
regarding the potential application of FATCA to the notes.
Selected Risk Considerations
An investment in the notes involves significant risks.
Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Index or any of the component securities of the Index. 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. The return on the notes at maturity is linked to the performance
of the Index and will depend on whether, and the extent to which, the Index Return is positive or negative. If the Ending Index Level
is less than 80.00% of the Index Strike Level, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Ending Index
Level is less than the Index Strike Level. Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose more than 20.00% of your principal amount
at maturity and may lose all of your principal amount at maturity. |
| · | YOUR ABILITY TO RECEIVE THE CONTINGENT MINIMUM
RETURN MAY TERMINATE ON THE VALUATION DATE — If the Ending Index Level is less than the Index Strike Level, you will not be
entitled to receive the Contingent Minimum Return at maturity. Under these circumstances, if the Ending Index Level is less than 80.00%
of the Index Strike Level, you will lose more than 20.00% of your principal amount at maturity and may lose all of your principal amount
at maturity. |
| · | CREDIT RISKS OF JPMORGAN FINANCIAL AND JPMORGAN
CHASE & CO. — The notes are subject to our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s credit risks, and our
and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s credit ratings and credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the notes.
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. |
| · | REINVESTMENT RISK — If your notes
are automatically called, the term of the notes may be reduced to as short as approximately one year. There is no guarantee that you would
be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the notes at a comparable return for a similar level of risk in the event the notes
are automatically called prior to the Maturity Date. |
| · | THE BENEFIT PROVIDED
BY THE CONTINGENT BUFFER AMOUNT MAY TERMINATE ON THE VALUATION DATE — If the Ending Index Level is less than 80.00%
of the Index Strike Level, the benefit provided by the Contingent Buffer Amount will terminate and
you will be fully exposed to any depreciation of the Index from the Index Strike Level to the Ending Index Level. |
| · | NO INTEREST OR DIVIDEND PAYMENTS OR VOTING
RIGHTS — As a holder of the notes, you will not receive interest payments, and you will not have voting rights or rights to
receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of the securities included in the Index would have. |
| · | 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. |
| · | VOLATILITY RISK — Greater expected
volatility with respect to the Index indicates a greater likelihood as of the Pricing Date that the Ending Index Level could decline by
more than the Contingent Buffer Amount. The Index’s volatility, however, can change significantly over the term of the notes.
The Index closing level could fall sharply during the term of the notes, which could result in your losing some or all of your principal
amount at maturity. |
| · | LACK OF LIQUIDITY — The notes
will not be listed on any securities exchange. JPMS intends to offer to purchase the notes in the secondary market but is not required
to do so. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not |
| | |
| JPMorgan Structured Investments — | PS- 5 |
| Auto Callable Contingent Buffered Equity Notes Linked to the S&P 500® Index | |
provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the
notes easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the notes, 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.
| · | THE FINAL TERMS AND VALUATION OF THE NOTES
WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE PRICING SUPPLEMENT — The final terms of the notes will be based on relevant market conditions when the
terms of the notes are set and will be provided in the pricing supplement. In particular, the estimated value of the notes, call premium
and Contingent Minimum Return will be provided in the pricing supplement and may be as low as the minimums set forth on the cover of this
pricing supplement. Accordingly, you should consider your potential investment in the notes based on the minimums for the estimated value
of the notes, call premium and Contingent Minimum Return. |
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest
| · | POTENTIAL CONFLICTS — We and our
affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the notes, including acting as calculation agent and as an agent
of the offering of the notes, hedging our obligations under the notes and making the assumptions used to determine the pricing of the
notes and the estimated value of the notes when the terms of the notes are set, which we refer to as the estimated value of the notes.
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 notes. 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 notes and the value of 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 for additional information about these risks. |
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 — The estimated value of the notes is determined
by reference to internal pricing models of our affiliates when the terms of the notes are set. This estimated value of the notes 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 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. 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. 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 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 |
| | |
| JPMorgan Structured Investments — | PS- 6 |
| Auto Callable Contingent Buffered Equity Notes Linked to the S&P 500® Index | |
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 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. See the immediately following risk consideration for information about additional factors that will impact any secondary market prices
of the 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. See “—
Lack of Liquidity” below.
| · | SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL
BE IMPACTED BY MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS — The secondary market price of the notes during their term will be impacted
by a number of economic and market factors, which may either offset or magnify each other, aside from the selling commissions, projected
hedging profits, if any, estimated hedging costs and the level of the Index. |
Additionally, independent pricing vendors and/or third party
broker-dealers may publish a price for the notes, which may also be reflected on customer account statements. This price may be different
(higher or lower) than the price of the notes, if any, at which JPMS may be willing to purchase your notes in the secondary market. See
“Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — Secondary market prices
of the notes will be impacted by many economic and market factors” in the accompanying product supplement.
Risks Relating to the Index
| · | JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. IS CURRENTLY
ONE OF THE COMPANIES THAT MAKE UP THE INDEX — JPMorgan Chase & Co. is currently one of the companies that make
up the Index, but JPMorgan Chase & Co. will have no obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the notes in taking
any corporate action that might affect the value of the Index. |
Historical Information
The following graph sets forth the historical performance of
the Index based on the weekly historical closing levels of the Index from January 4, 2019 through August 2, 2024. The closing level of
the Index on August 6, 2024 was 5,240.03.
We obtained the closing levels of the Index above and
below from the Bloomberg Professional® service (“Bloomberg”), without independent verification. The historical
levels of the Index should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the closing level
of the Index on the Pricing Date or the Valuation Date. There can be no assurance that the performance of the Index will result in the
return of any of your principal amount.
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. See “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes —
The Estimated Value of the Notes Does Not Represent Future Values of the Notes and May Differ from Others’ Estimates” in this
pricing supplement.
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. We or one
or more of our affiliates will retain any profits realized in hedging our obligations under the notes. 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 “What Is the Total Return on the Notes at Maturity,
Assuming a Range of Performances for the Index?” and “Hypothetical Examples of Amount Payable at Maturity” in this pricing
supplement for an illustration of the risk-return profile of the notes and “Selected Purchase Considerations — Return Linked
to the S&P 500® Index” in this pricing supplement for a description of the market exposure provided by the notes.
The original issue price of the notes is equal to the
estimated value of the notes plus the selling commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, plus (minus) the
projected profits (losses) that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes,
plus the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes.
Supplemental
Terms of the Notes
Any values of
the Index, and any values derived therefrom, included in this pricing supplement may be corrected, in the event of manifest error or inconsistency,
by amendment of this pricing supplement and the corresponding terms of the notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the indenture
governing the notes, that amendment will become effective without consent of the holders of the notes or any other party.
