Automatic Call:
If the closing level of the Index on the Review Date is greater than
or equal to the Call Value, the notes will be automatically called for a cash payment, for each $1,000 principal amount note, equal to
(a) $1,000 plus (b) the Call Premium Amount, payable on the Call Settlement Date. No further payments will be made on the notes.
If the notes are automatically called, you will not benefit from the
Upside Leverage Factor that applies to the payment at maturity if the Final Value is greater than the Initial Value. Because the
Upside Leverage Factor does not apply to the payment upon an automatic call, the payment upon an automatic call may be significantly less
than the payment at maturity for the same level of appreciation in the Index.
Payment at Maturity:
If the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value is
greater than the Initial Value, your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × Index Return × Upside
Leverage Factor)
If the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value is
equal to the Initial Value or is less than the Initial Value but greater than or equal to the Barrier Amount, you will receive the principal
amount of your notes at maturity.
If the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value is
less than the Barrier Amount, 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 Final Value is less than the Barrier Amount, you will lose more than 25.00% of your principal amount at maturity and could
lose all of your principal amount at maturity.

Payment at Maturity If the Notes Have Not Been Automatically
Called
The following table illustrates the hypothetical
total return and payment at maturity on the notes linked to a hypothetical Index if the notes have not been automatically called. 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:
| · | the notes have not been automatically called; |
| · | an Initial Value of 100.00; |
| · | an Upside Leverage Factor of 2.00; and |
| · | a Barrier Amount of 75.00 (equal to 75.00% of the hypothetical Initial
Value). |
The hypothetical Initial Value of 100.00 has been chosen
for illustrative purposes only and may not represent a likely actual Initial Value. The actual Initial Value will be the closing level
of the Index on the Pricing Date and will be provided in the pricing supplement. For historical data regarding the actual closing levels
of the Index, please see the historical information set forth under “The Index” in this pricing supplement.
Each hypothetical total return or hypothetical payment
at maturity set forth below is for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual total return or payment at maturity applicable
to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following table have been rounded for ease of analysis.

How the
Notes Work
Upside Scenario If Automatic Call:
If the closing level of the Index on the Review Date
is greater than or equal to the Call Value, the notes will be automatically called and investors will receive on the Call Settlement Date
the $1,000 principal amount plus the Call Premium Amount of at least $100.00. No further payments will be made on the notes.
| · | Assuming a hypothetical Call Premium Amount of $100.00, if the closing
level of the Index increases 20.00% as of the Review Date, the notes will be automatically called and investors will receive a return
equal to 10.00%, or $1,100.00 per $1,000 principal amount note. |
Upside Scenario If No Automatic Call:
If the notes have not been automatically called and the
Final Value is greater than the Initial Value, investors will receive at maturity the $1,000 principal amount plus a return equal
to the Index Return times the Upside Leverage Factor of 2.00.
| · | If the notes have not been automatically called and the closing
level of the Index increases 5.00%, investors will receive at maturity a return equal to 10.00%, or $1,100.00 per $1,000 principal amount
note. |
Par Scenario:
If the notes have not been automatically called and the
Final Value is equal to the Initial Value or is less than the Initial Value but greater than or equal to the Barrier Amount of 75.00%
of the Initial Value, investors will receive at maturity the principal amount of their notes.
Downside Scenario:
If the notes have not been automatically called and the
Final Value is less than the Barrier Amount of 75.00% of the Initial Value, investors will lose 1% of the principal amount of their notes
for every 1% that the Final Value is less than the Initial Value.
| · | For example, if the notes have not been automatically called and
the closing level of the Index declines 60.00%, investors will lose 60.00% of their principal amount and receive only $400.00 per $1,000
principal amount note at maturity. |
The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on
the notes shown above apply only if you hold the notes for their entire term 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 is less than the Barrier Amount, you will lose 1% of the principal
amount of your notes for every 1% that the Final Value is less than the Initial Value. Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will
lose more than 25.00% 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
|
PS-4
| Structured Investments
Auto Callable Accelerated Barrier Notes Linked to the Russell
2000® Index |
|
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.
| · | IF THE NOTES ARE AUTOMATICALLY CALLED, THE APPRECIATION POTENTIAL OF THE NOTES IS LIMITED
TO THE CALL PREMIUM AMOUNT PAID ON THE NOTES, |
regardless of any appreciation of the Index,
which may be significant. In addition, if the notes are automatically called, you will not benefit from the Upside Leverage Factor
that applies to the payment at maturity if the Final Value is greater than the Initial Value. Because the Upside Leverage Factor
does not apply to the payment upon an automatic call, the payment upon an automatic call may be significantly less than the payment at
maturity for the same level of appreciation in the Index.
| · | THE BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE BARRIER AMOUNT MAY TERMINATE ON THE OBSERVATION DATE —
|
If the Final Value is less than the Barrier
Amount and the notes have not been automatically called, the benefit provided by the Barrier Amount will terminate and you will be fully
exposed to any depreciation of the Index.
| · | 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 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. 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.
| · | THE NOTES DO NOT PAY INTEREST. |
| · | YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE DIVIDENDS ON THE SECURITIES INCLUDED IN THE INDEX OR HAVE ANY RIGHTS
WITH RESPECT TO THOSE SECURITIES. |
| · | THE RISK OF THE CLOSING LEVEL OF THE INDEX FALLING BELOW THE BARRIER AMOUNT IS GREATER
IF THE LEVEL OF THE INDEX IS VOLATILE. |
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 Call Premium Amount.
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest
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.
|
PS-5
| Structured Investments
Auto Callable Accelerated Barrier Notes Linked to the Russell
2000® Index |
|
| · | 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 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
| · | AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES IS SUBJECT TO RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SMALL CAPITALIZATION
STOCKS — |
Small capitalization companies may be less able
to withstand adverse economic, market, trade and competitive conditions relative to larger companies. Small capitalization companies are
less likely to pay dividends on their stocks, and the presence of a dividend payment could be a factor that limits downward stock price
pressure under adverse market conditions.

The Index
The Index consists of the middle 2,000 companies included
in the Russell 3000E™ Index and, as a result of the index calculation methodology, consists of the smallest 2,000 companies included
in the Russell 3000® Index. The Index is designed to track the performance of the small capitalization segment of the U.S.
equity market. For additional information about the Index, see “Equity Index Descriptions — The Russell Indices” in
the accompanying underlying supplement.
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 September 6, 2024. The closing level
of the Index on September 12, 2024 was 2,129.427. We obtained the closing levels above and below from the Bloomberg Professional®
service (“Bloomberg”), without independent verification.
The historical closing 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, the Review Date or the Observation Date. There can be no assurance that the performance of the Index will result in the return of
any of your principal amount.
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
|
PS-7
| Structured Investments
Auto Callable Accelerated Barrier Notes Linked to the Russell
2000® Index |
|
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 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.
