JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC Trigger Callable Yield Notes

Linked to the SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust due on or about November 15, 2023

Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.

 Investment Description

Trigger Callable Yield Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated debt securities issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC (“JPMorgan Financial”), the payment on which is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. (each, a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”), linked to the performance of a specific underlying (the “Underlying”). On each monthly Coupon Payment Date, JPMorgan Financial will make a Coupon payment based on the Coupon Rate, regardless of the performance of the Underlying, unless the Notes have been previously called. JPMorgan Financial may, at its election, call the Notes early on any monthly Optional Call Notice Date (after an initial three-month non-call period), regardless of the closing price of one share of the Underlying on that Optional Call Notice Date. If JPMorgan Financial elects to call the Notes, JPMorgan Financial will pay the principal amount plus the Coupon for that Optional Call Notice Date and no further amounts will be owed to you. If JPMorgan Financial does not elect to call the Notes prior to maturity and the Final Value is equal to or greater than the Downside Threshold, JPMorgan Financial will make a cash payment at maturity equal to the principal amount of your Notes, in addition to paying the final Coupon. However, if the Notes are not called prior to maturity and the Final Value is less than the Downside Threshold, JPMorgan Financial will, in addition to paying the final Coupon, pay you less than the full principal amount, if anything, at maturity, resulting in a loss of your principal amount that is proportionate to the decline in the closing price of one share of the Underlying from the Initial Value to the Final Value. The closing price of one share of the Underlying is subject to adjustments in the case of certain events described in the accompanying product supplement under “The Underlyings — Funds — Anti-Dilution Adjustments.” Investing in the Notes involves significant risks. You may lose some or all of your principal amount at maturity. Generally, a higher Coupon Rate is associated with a greater risk of loss. The contingent repayment of principal applies only if you hold the Notes to maturity. Any payment on the Notes, including any repayment of principal, is subject to the creditworthiness of JPMorgan Financial, as issuer of the Notes, and the creditworthiness of JPMorgan Chase & Co., as guarantor of the Notes. If JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were to default on their payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the Notes and you could lose your entire investment.

 Features

qIssuer Callable: JPMorgan Financial may, at its election and upon written notice to The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), call the Notes on any monthly Optional Call Notice Date (after an initial three-month non-call period), regardless of the closing price of one share of the Underlying on that Optional Call Notice Date, and pay you the principal amount plus a Coupon. No further payments will be made on the Notes.
qIncome: Regardless of the performance of the Underlying, JPMorgan Financial will pay you a monthly Coupon unless the Notes have been previously called. In exchange for the opportunity to receive the monthly Coupon payments, you are accepting the risk of losing some or all of your principal amount and the credit risks of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. for all payments, including Coupon payments, under the Notes.
qDownside Exposure with Contingent Repayment of Principal Amount at Maturity: If by maturity the Notes have not been called and the Underlying closes at or above the Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date, JPMorgan Financial will pay you the principal amount per Note at maturity, in addition to the Coupon. If the Underlying closes below the Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date, JPMorgan Financial will, in addition to paying the final Coupon, repay less than the principal amount, if anything, at maturity, resulting in a loss on your principal amount that is proportionate to the decline in the closing price of one share of the Underlying from the Initial Value to the Final Value. The contingent repayment of principal applies only if you hold the Notes to maturity. Any payment on the Notes, including any repayment of principal, is subject to the creditworthiness of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co.

THE NOTES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY RISKIER THAN CONVENTIONAL DEBT INSTRUMENTS. JPMORGAN FINANCIAL IS NOT NECESSARILY OBLIGATED TO REPAY THE FULL PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THE NOTES AT MATURITY, AND THE NOTES CAN HAVE DOWNSIDE MARKET RISK SIMILAR TO THE UNDERLYING. THIS MARKET RISK IS IN ADDITION TO THE CREDIT RISK INHERENT IN PURCHASING A DEBT OBLIGATION OF JPMORGAN FINANCIAL FULLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY GUARANTEED BY JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.  YOU SHOULD NOT PURCHASE THE NOTES IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND OR ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS INVOLVED IN INVESTING IN THE NOTES.

YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS DESCRIBED UNDER “KEY RISKS” BEGINNING ON PAGE 7 OF THIS PRICING SUPPLEMENT, UNDER “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE S-2 OF THE ACCOMPANYING PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT, UNDER “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE PS-12 OF THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT SUPPLEMENT AND UNDER “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE US-3 OF THE ACCOMPANYING UNDERLYING SUPPLEMENT BEFORE PURCHASING ANY NOTES. EVENTS RELATING TO ANY OF THOSE RISKS, OR OTHER RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET VALUE OF, AND THE RETURN ON, YOUR NOTES. YOU MAY LOSE SOME OR ALL OF YOUR INITIAL INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES. THE NOTES WILL NOT BE LISTED ON ANY SECURITIES EXCHANGE.

tYou would be willing to invest in the Notes if the Coupon Rate were set equal to the bottom of the range indicated on the cover hereof (the actual Coupon Rate will be finalized on the Trade Date and provided in the pricing supplement and will not be less than the bottom of the range listed on the cover).
tYou are willing to forgo dividends paid on the Underlying.
tYou are able and willing to invest in Notes that may be called early (after an initial three-month non-call period) at JPMorgan Financial’s election or you are otherwise able and willing to hold the Notes to maturity.

tYou are willing to assume the credit risks of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. for all payments under the Notes, and understand that if JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. default on their obligations, you may not receive any amounts due to you including any repayment of principal.

 What Are the Tax Consequences of the Notes?

You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. UBS-1-II. 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 units each comprising a Put Option and a debt component for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  In determining our reporting responsibilities, we intend to treat a portion of each Coupon Payment equal to approximately 4.01% per annum times the amount of the debt component times the number of days in the applicable period divided by 365 as interest on the debt component (so that the amount allocated as interest on the debt component will vary from Coupon Payment to Coupon Payment depending on the number of days in the applicable period) and the remainder of each Coupon Payment as Put Premium.  By purchasing the Notes, you agree to treat the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes consistently with the treatment and allocation as described above.  Assuming the treatment and allocation described above are respected, (a) interest on the debt component will be taxed as ordinary income, while the Put Premium will not be taken into account prior to maturity, sale or early redemption, and (b) assuming that you are an initial purchaser of Notes purchasing the Notes at the Issue Price for cash, at maturity or upon early redemption you will recognize short-term capital gain in an amount equal to the total Put Premium received.

There are, however, other reasonable treatments that the IRS or a court may adopt for the Notes, in which case the timing and character of your income or loss could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, in 2007 Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses on a number of issues, the most relevant of which for investors in the Notes are the character of income or loss (including whether the Put Premium might be currently included as ordinary income) and the degree, if any, to which income realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax. While it is not clear whether the Notes would be viewed as similar to the typical prepaid forward contract described in the notice, it is possible that any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the Notes, possibly with retroactive effect.

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, 2023 that do not have a delta of one with respect to underlying securities that could pay U.S.-source dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes (each an “Underlying Security”).  Based on certain determinations made by us, we expect that Section 871(m) will not apply to the Notes with regard to Non-U.S. Holders.  Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination.  Section 871(m) is complex and its application may depend on your particular circumstances, including whether you enter into other transactions with respect to an Underlying Security.  If necessary, further information regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) will be provided in the pricing supplement for the Notes.  You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to the Notes.

The discussions above and in the accompanying product supplement do not address the consequences to taxpayers subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code.  You should consult your tax adviser regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Notes, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the 2007 notice. Purchasers who are not initial purchasers of Notes at the Issue Price should also consult their tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in the Notes, including possible alternative treatments, as well as the allocation of the purchase price of the Notes between the debt component and the Put Option.

 Key Risks

An investment in the Notes involves significant risks. Investing in the Notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Underlying. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” sections of the accompanying prospectus supplement, the accompanying product supplement and the accompanying underlying supplement. We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers before you invest in the Notes.

Risks Relating to the Notes Generally

tYour Investment in the Notes May Result in a Loss — The Notes differ from ordinary debt securities in that JPMorgan Financial will not necessarily repay the full principal amount of the Notes. If JPMorgan Financial does not elect to call the Notes and the closing price of one share of the Underlying has declined below the Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date, you will be fully exposed to any depreciation of the Underlying from the Initial Value to the Final Value. In this case, JPMorgan Financial will repay less than the full principal amount at maturity, resulting in a loss of principal that is proportionate to the negative Underlying Return. Under these circumstances, you will lose 1% of your principal for every 1% that the Final Value is less than the Initial Value and could lose your entire principal amount. As a result, your investment in the Notes may not perform as well as an investment in a security that does not have the potential for full downside exposure to the Underlying at maturity.
tCredit Risks of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. — The Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the Issuer, JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, the payment on which is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The Notes will rank pari passu with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, and the related guarantee JPMorgan Chase & Co. will rank pari passu with all of JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. The Notes and related guarantees are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any payment to be made on the Notes, including any repayment of principal, depends on the ability of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. to satisfy their obligations as they come due. As a result, the actual and perceived creditworthiness of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. may affect the market value of the Notes and, in the event JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were to default on their obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the Notes and you could lose your entire investment.
tAs a Finance Subsidiary, JPMorgan Financial Has No Independent Operations and Limited Assets — As a finance subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co., we have no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of our securities. Aside from the initial capital contribution from JPMorgan Chase & Co., substantially all of our assets relate to obligations of our affiliates to make payments under loans made by us or other intercompany agreements. As a result, we are dependent upon payments from our affiliates to meet our obligations under the Notes. If these affiliates do not make payments to us and we fail 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.
tYour Return on the Notes Is Limited to the Sum of the Coupon Payments and You Will Not Participate in Any Appreciation of the Underlying — The return potential of the Notes is limited to the specified Coupon Rate, regardless of the appreciation of the Underlying, which may be significant. In addition, if JPMorgan Financial elects to call the Notes, you will not receive any Coupons or any other payments after the Call Settlement Date. Because the Notes could be called as early as the first Optional Call Notice Date (after an initial three-month non-call period), the total return on the Notes could be minimal. If JPMorgan Financial does not elect to call the Notes, you may be subject to the risk of decline of the Underlying, even though you are not able to participate in any potential appreciation of the Underlying.  As a result, the return on an investment in the Notes could be less than the return on a hypothetical direct investment in the Underlying. In addition, if JPMorgan Financial does not elect to call the Notes and the Final Value is below the Downside Threshold, you will lose some or all of your principal amount and the overall return on the Notes may be less than the amount that would be paid on a conventional debt security of JPMorgan Financial of comparable maturity.
tContingent Repayment of Principal Applies Only If You Hold the Notes to Maturity — If you are able to sell your Notes in the secondary market, if any, prior to maturity, you may have to sell them at a loss relative to your initial investment even if the closing price of one share of the Underlying is above the Downside Threshold. If by maturity the Notes have not been called, either JPMorgan Financial will repay you the full principal amount per Note plus the final Coupon, or, if the Underlying closes below the Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date, JPMorgan Financial will, in addition to paying the final Coupon, repay less than the principal amount, if anything, at maturity, resulting in a loss on your principal amount that is proportionate to the decline of the Underlying from the Initial Value to the Final Value. This contingent repayment of principal applies only if you hold your Notes to maturity.
tA Higher Coupon Rate and/or a Lower Downside Threshold May Reflect Greater Expected Volatility of the Underlying, Which Is Generally Associated With a Greater Risk of Loss — Volatility is a measure of the degree of variation in the price of one share of the Underlying over a period of time.  The greater the expected volatility of the Underlying at the time the terms of the Notes are set, the greater the expectation is at that time that the price of one share of the Underlying could close below the Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date, resulting in the loss of a significant portion or all of your principal at maturity.  In addition, the economic terms of the Notes, including the Coupon Rate and the Downside Threshold, are based, in part, on the expected volatility of the Underlying at the time the terms of the Notes are set, where a higher expected volatility will generally be reflected in a higher Coupon Rate than the fixed rate we would pay on conventional debt securities of the same maturity and/or on otherwise comparable securities and/or a lower Downside Threshold as compared to otherwise comparable securities.  Accordingly, a higher Contingent Coupon Rate will generally be indicative of a greater risk of loss while a lower Downside Threshold does not necessarily indicate that the Notes have a greater likelihood of returning your principal at maturity.  You should be willing to accept the downside market risk of the Underlying and the potential loss of some or all of your principal at maturity.

tCall and Reinvestment Risk — JPMorgan Financial may, in its sole discretion, elect to call the Notes on any Optional Call Notice Date (after an initial three-month non-call period), regardless of the closing price of one share of the Underlying on that Optional Call Notice Date. If JPMorgan Financial elects to call your Notes early, you will no longer have the opportunity to receive any Coupons after the applicable Call Settlement Date. The first Optional Call Notice Date, and the first potential date on which JPMorgan Financial may elect to call the Notes, occurs after approximately three months and therefore you may not have the opportunity to receive any Coupons after approximately three months. In the event JPMorgan Financial elects to call the Notes, there is no guarantee that you will be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the Notes at a comparable return and/or with a comparable interest rate for a similar level of risk.

It is more likely that JPMorgan Financial will elect to call the Notes prior to maturity when the expected interest payable on the Notes is greater than the interest that would be payable on other instruments issued by JPMorgan Financial of comparable maturity, terms and credit rating trading in the market. The greater likelihood of JPMorgan Financial calling the Notes in that environment increases the risk that you will not be able to reinvest the proceeds from the called Notes in an equivalent investment with a similar interest rate. JPMorgan Financial is less likely to call the Notes prior to maturity when the expected interest payable on the Notes is less than the interest that would be payable on other comparable instruments issued by JPMorgan Financial. Therefore, the Notes are more likely to remain outstanding when the expected interest payable on the Notes is less than what would be payable on other comparable instruments.

tInvesting in the Notes Is Not Equivalent to Investing in the Underlying or the Equity Securities Held by the Underlying — Investing in the Notes is not equivalent to investing in the Underlying or the equity securities held by the Underlying. As an investor in the Notes, you will not have any ownership interest or rights in the Underlying or the equity securities held by the Underlying, such as voting rights, dividend payments or other distributions.
tYour Return on the Notes Will Not Reflect Dividends on the Underlying or the Equity Securities Held by the Underlying — Your return on the Notes will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the Underlying or the equity securities held by the Underlying and received the dividends on the Underlying or those equity securities. This is because the calculation agent will determine whether the Notes will be called and whether a Contingent Coupon is payable and will calculate the amount payable to you at maturity of the Notes by reference to the closing price of one share of the Underlying on the relevant Observation Date without taking into consideration the value of dividends on the Underlying or the equity securities held by the Underlying.
tNo Assurances That the Investment View Implicit in the Notes Will Be Successful — While the Notes are structured to provide for Contingent Coupons if the Underlying does not close below the Coupon Barrier on the Observation Dates, we cannot assure you of the economic environment during the term or at maturity of your Notes.
tLack 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 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.
tTax Treatment — Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Notes are uncertain. You should consult your tax adviser about your tax situation.
tThe Final Terms and Valuation of the Notes Will Be Finalized on the Trade Date and 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 finalized on the Trade Date and provided in the pricing supplement. In particular, each of the estimated value of the Notes and the Contingent Coupon Rate will be finalized on the Trade Date and provided in the pricing supplement and each may be as low as the applicable minimum 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 and the Contingent Coupon Rate.

Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest

tPotential Conflicts — We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Notes, including acting as calculation agent and 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.
tPotentially Inconsistent Research, Opinions or Recommendations by JPMS, UBS or Their Affiliates — JPMS, UBS or their affiliates may publish research, express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with investing in or holding the Notes, and that may be revised at any time. Any such research, opinions or recommendations may or may not recommend that investors buy or hold the Underlying and could affect the price of one share of the Underlying, and therefore the market value of the Notes.
tPotential JPMorgan Financial Impact on the Price of the Underlying — Trading or transactions by JPMorgan Financial or its affiliates in the Underlying and/or over-the-counter options, futures or other instruments with returns linked to the performance of the Underlying may adversely affect the price of the Underlying and, therefore, the market value of the Notes.

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

tThe 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.
tThe 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.
tThe 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.
tThe 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).
tSecondary 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 (a) exclude selling commissions and (b) may exclude 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 factor 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 “— Risks Relating to the Notes Generally — Lack of Liquidity” above.

tMany Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Notes — As described under “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement, the Notes can be thought of as securities that combine a fixed-income debt component with one or more derivatives. As a result, the factors that influence the values of fixed-income debt and derivative instruments will also influence the terms of the Notes at issuance and their value in the secondary market. Accordingly, 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 price of one share of the Underlying, including:
tany actual or potential change in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness or credit spreads;
tcustomary bid-ask spreads for similarly sized trades;
tour internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances;
tthe actual and expected volatility in the price of one share of the Underlying;
tthe time to maturity of the Notes;
twhether the Final Value is expected to be less than the Downside Threshold;
tthe dividend rates on the Underlying and the equity securities held by the Underlying;

9

 

tthe occurrence of certain events affecting the Underlying that may or may not require an adjustment to the closing price and the Share Adjustment Factor of the Underlying;
tinterest and yield rates in the market generally; and
ta variety of other economic, financial, political, regulatory and judicial events.

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.

Risks Relating to the Underlying

tJPMorgan Chase & Co. Is Currently One of the Companies that Make Up the Underlying and Its Underlying Index — JPMorgan Chase & Co. is currently one of the companies that make up the Underlying and its Underlying Index (as defined under “The Underlyings” below). JPMorgan Chase & Co. will not have any obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the Notes in taking any corporate action that might affect the price of the Underlying or the level of its Underlying Index.
tNo Affiliation with the Underlying or the Issuers of the Equity Securities Held by the Underlying We are not affiliated with the Underlying or, to our knowledge, the issuers of the equity securities held by the Underlying. We have not independently verified the information about the Underlying or the issuers of the equity securities held by the Underlying contained in this pricing supplement. You should make your own investigation into the Underlying and the issuers of the equity securities held by the Underlying. We are not responsible for the public disclosure of information by the Underlying or the issuers of the equity securities held by the Underlying, whether contained in SEC filings or otherwise.
tThere Are Risks Associated with the UnderlyingAlthough shares of the Underlying are listed for trading on a securities exchange and a number of similar products have been trading on a securities exchange for varying periods of time, there is no assurance that an active trading market will continue for the shares of the Underlying or that there will be liquidity in the trading market.  The Underlying is subject to management risk, which is the risk that the investment strategies of the Underlying’s investment adviser, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results.  These constraints could adversely affect the market price of the shares of the Underlying, and consequently, the value of the Notes.
tThe Performance and Market Value of the Underlying, Particularly During Periods of Market Volatility, May Not Correlate with the Performance of the Underlying’s Underlying Index as well as the Net Asset Value per Share — The Underlying does not fully replicate its Underlying Index (as defined under “The Underlying” below) and may hold securities different from those included in its Underlying Index.  In addition, the performance of the Underlying will reflect additional transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of its Underlying Index.  All of these factors may lead to a lack of correlation between the performance of the Underlying and its Underlying Index.  In addition, corporate actions with respect to the equity securities underlying the Underlying (such as mergers and spin-offs) may impact the variance between the performances of the Underlying and its Underlying Index.  Finally, because the shares of the Underlying are traded on a securities exchange and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the market value of one share of the Underlying may differ from the net asset value per share of the Underlying.

During periods of market volatility, securities underlying the Underlying may be unavailable in the secondary market, market participants may be unable to calculate accurately the net asset value per share of the Underlying and the liquidity of the Underlying may be adversely affected.  This kind of market volatility may also disrupt the ability of market participants to create and redeem shares of the Underlying.  Further, market volatility may adversely affect, sometimes materially, the prices at which market participants are willing to buy and sell shares of the Underlying.  As a result, under these circumstances, the market value of shares of the Underlying may vary substantially from the net asset value per share of the Underlying.  For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of the Underlying may not correlate with the performance of its Underlying Index as well as the net asset value per share of the Underlying, which could materially and adversely affect the value of the Notes in the secondary market and/or reduce any payment on the Notes.

tAnti-Dilution Protection Is Limited — Although the calculation agent will adjust the closing price and the Share Adjustment Factor of the Underlying for certain events affecting the Underlying, the calculation agent is not required to make an adjustment for every event that can affect the Underlying.  If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to make these adjustments, the market value of your Notes and any payment on the Notes may be materially and adversely affected.

 Hypothetical Examples

Hypothetical terms only. Actual terms may vary. See the cover page for actual offering terms.

The examples below illustrate the hypothetical payments on a Coupon Payment Date, upon an issuer-elected call or at maturity under different hypothetical scenarios for a $10.00 Note on an offering of the Notes, with the assumptions set forth below.* We cannot predict the closing price of one share of the Underlying on any day during the term of the Notes, including on the Final Valuation Date. You should not take these examples as an indication or assurance of the expected performance of the Notes. Numbers in the examples below have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Principal Amount: $10.00
Term: 15 months (unless earlier called)
Hypothetical Initial Value: $100.00
Hypothetical Coupon Rate: 8.00% per annum (or 0.667% per month), based on the bottom of the range of 8.00% to 8.75% per annum
Optional Call Notice Dates: Monthly (callable after three months)
Hypothetical Downside Threshold: $75.00 (which is 75.00% of the hypothetical Initial Value)

 

* Terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples may not represent the actual Coupon Rate, Initial Values or Downside Thresholds. The actual Coupon Rate will be finalized on the Trade Date and provided in the pricing supplement. The hypothetical Initial Value of $100.000 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and may not represent a likely Initial Value. The actual Initial Value and resulting Downside Threshold will be based on the closing price of one share of the Underlying on the Trade Date. For historical data regarding the actual closing prices of one share of the Underlying, please see the historical information set forth under the sections titled “The SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust”.

The examples below are purely hypothetical and are not based on any specific offering of Notes linked to any specific Underlying. These examples are intended to illustrate (a) the effect of an issuer-elected call, (b) how the value of the payment at maturity on the Notes will depend on whether the Final Value is less than the Downside Threshold and (c) how the total return on the Notes may be less than the total return on a direct investment in the Underlying in certain scenarios. The “total return” as used in this pricing supplement is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the total payments per $10.00 principal amount Note over the term of the Notes to the $10.00 initial issue price.

Example 1 — JPMorgan Financial Elects to Call the Notes on the First Optional Call Notice Date

Date     Payment (per Note)
First Optional Call Notice Date Issuer elects to call the Notes. Issuer repays principal plus pays Coupon of $0.0667 on Call Settlement Date.

 

Total Payments (per $10.00 Note):

 

 

Payment on Call Settlement Date:

Prior Coupons:

 

$10.0667 ($10.00 + $0.0667)

$0.1334

    Total: $10.2001
    Total Return: 2.001%

 

On the first Optional Call Notice Date (which is approximately three months after the Trade Date and is the first date on which the Notes are callable), JPMorgan Financial elects to call the Notes. JPMorgan Financial will pay you on the Call Settlement Date $10.0667 per $10.00 principal amount Note, which is equal to your principal amount plus the Coupon due on the Coupon Payment Date that is also the Call Settlement Date. No further amounts will be owed to you under the Notes.

In addition, JPMorgan Financial will also pay the Coupon of $0.0667 on each of the first and second Coupon Payment Dates. Accordingly, JPMorgan Financial will have paid a total of $10.2001 per $10.00 principal amount Note, for a 2.001% total return over the shortened term of the Notes.

11

 

Example 2 — Notes Are NOT Called and the Final Value Is Above the Downside Threshold

Date   Closing Price   Payment (per Note)
Each Optional Call Notice Date   N/A  

Notes NOT called at the election of the Issuer. Issuer pays Coupon of $0.0667 on each of the first to fourteenth Coupon Payment Dates.

 

Final Valuation Date   $80.00   Notes NOT callable. Final Value above Downside Threshold; Issuer repays principal plus pays Coupon of $0.0667 on Maturity Date.

 

Total Payments (per $10.00 Note):

 

 

Payment at Maturity:

$10.0667 ($10.00 + $0.0667)
    Prior Coupons: $0.9338 ($0.0667 × 14)
    Total: $11.0005
    Total Return: 10.005%

In this example, the Issuer does not elect to call the Notes and the Notes remain outstanding until maturity. Because the Final Value is greater than or equal to the Downside Threshold, JPMorgan Financial will pay you on the Maturity Date $10.0667 per $10.00 principal amount Note, which is equal to your principal amount plus the final Coupon.

In addition, JPMorgan Financial will also pay the Coupon of $0.0667 on each of the first to fourteenth Coupon Payment Dates. Accordingly, JPMorgan Financial will have paid a total of $11.0005 per $10.00 principal amount Note, for a 10.005% total return over the term of the Notes.

12

 

Example 3 — Notes Are NOT Called and the Final Value Is Below the Downside Threshold

Date   Closing Price   Payment (per Note)
Each Optional Call Notice Date   N/A  

Notes NOT called at the election of the Issuer. Issuer pays Coupon of $0.0667 on each of the first to fourteenth Coupon Payment Dates.

 

Final Valuation Date   $40.00   Notes NOT callable. Final Value below Downside Threshold; Issuer pays Coupon on Maturity Date, and Issuer will repay less than the principal amount resulting in a loss proportionate to the decline of the Underlying.
 
     

 

Total Payments (per $10.00 Note):

 

 

Payment at Maturity:

$4.0667 ($4.00 + $0.0667)
    Prior Coupons: $0.9338 ($0.0667 × 14)
    Total: $5.0005
    Total Return: -49.995%

In this example, the Issuer does not elect to call the Notes and the Notes remain outstanding until maturity. Because the Final Value is less than the Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date and the Underlying Return is -60%, at maturity, JPMorgan Financial will pay you $4.0667 per $10.00 principal amount Note, calculated as follows:

$10.00 × (1 + -60%) + $0.0667 = $4.0667

In addition, JPMorgan Financial will also pay the Coupon of $0.0667 on each of the first to fourteenth Coupon Payment Dates. Accordingly, JPMorgan Financial will have paid a total of $5.0005 per $10.00 principal amount Note, for a -49.995% total return over the term of the Notes.

The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the Notes shown above apply only if you hold the Notes for their entire term or until 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.

 The Underlying

The SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust is a registered investment company whose trust units represent an undivided ownership interest in a portfolio of all, or substantially all, of the common stocks of the S&P 500® Index. The SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust seeks to provide investment results that, before expenses, generally correspond to the price and yield performance of the S&P 500® Index, which we refer to as the Underlying Index with respect to the SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust. 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 SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust, see “Fund Descriptions — The SPDR® S&P 500 ETF® Trust” in the accompanying underlying supplement.

Historical Information

The following table sets forth the quarterly high and low closing prices of one share of the Underlying, based on daily closing prices of one share of the Underlying as reported by the Bloomberg Professional® service (“Bloomberg”), without independent verification. The information given below is for the four calendar quarters in each of 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 and the first and second calendar quarters of 2022. Partial data is provided for the third calendar quarter of 2022. The closing price of one share of the Underlying on August 5, 2022 was $413.47. The actual Initial Value will be the closing price of one share of the Underlying on the Trade Date. We obtained the closing prices of one share of the Underlying above and below from Bloomberg, without independent verification. The closing prices above and below may have been adjusted by Bloomberg for certain actions, such as stock splits. You should not take the historical prices of one share of the Underlying as an indication of future performance.

The graph below illustrates the daily performance of the Underlying from January 3, 2012 through August 5, 2022, based on information from Bloomberg, without independent verification. The dotted line represents a hypothetical Downside Threshold of $310.10, equal to 75.00% of the closing price of one share of the Underlying on August 5, 2022. The actual Downside Threshold will be based on the closing price of one share of the Underlying on the Trade Date (the Initial Value) and will equal 75.00% of the Initial Value.

Past performance of the Underlying is not indicative of the future performance of the Underlying.

 

 Supplemental Plan of Distribution

We and JPMorgan Chase & Co. have agreed to indemnify UBS and JPMS against liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments that UBS may be required to make relating to these liabilities as described in the prospectus supplement and the prospectus. We will agree that UBS may sell all or a part of the Notes that it purchases from us to the public or its affiliates at the price to public indicated on the cover hereof.

Subject to regulatory constraints, JPMS intends to offer to purchase the Notes in the secondary market, but it is not required to do so.

We or our affiliates may enter into swap agreements or related hedge transactions with one of our other affiliates or unaffiliated counterparties in connection with the sale of the Notes, and JPMS and/or an affiliate may earn additional income as a result of payments pursuant to the swap or related hedge transactions. See “Supplemental Use of Proceeds” in this pricing supplement and “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying product supplement.

We expect that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment for the Notes on or about the Original Issue Date set forth on the front cover of this pricing supplement, which will be the third business day following the Trade Date of the Notes (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to that trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Notes on any date prior to two business days before delivery will be required to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisors.

 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 values 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 “Key Risks — 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 “Key Risks — 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 UBS, 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 “Key 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” 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 “Key Risks — 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 this pricing 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 that is intended to be up to four months. The length of any such initial period reflects secondary market volumes for the Notes, 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 “Key Risks — 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 Examples” in this pricing supplement for an illustration of the risk-return profile of the Notes and “The Underlying” 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 UBS, 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 Information About the Form of the Notes

The Notes will initially be represented by a type of global security that we refer to as a master note.  A master note represents multiple securities that may be issued at different times and that may have different terms.  The trustee and/or paying agent will, in accordance with instructions from us, make appropriate entries or notations in its records relating to the master note representing the Notes to indicate that the master note evidences the Notes.
