JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC Step Down Trigger Autocallable Notes
$13,000,000 Linked to the lesser performing of the MSCI Emerging Markets
Index and the EURO STOXX 50® Index due December 7, 2026
Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by JPMorgan
Chase & Co.
Investment
Description
|
Step Down Trigger Autocallable Notes, which we refer to as the “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., linked to the lesser performing of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and the EURO STOXX 50® Index (each an “Underlying” and together the “Underlyings”). If each Underlying closes at or above (i) its Initial Value on any Observation Date (other than the Final Valuation Date) or (ii) its Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date, JPMorgan Financial will automatically call the Notes and pay you a Call Price equal to the principal amount per Note plus a Call Return. The Call Return increases the longer the Notes are outstanding. If by maturity the Notes have not been called, and, therefore, either Underlying closes below its Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date, JPMorgan Financial will repay less than the principal amount, if anything, resulting in a loss of your principal amount that is proportionate to the decline of the Underlying with the lower Underlying Return (the “Lesser Performing Underlying”) from its Initial Value to its Final Value. Investing in the Notes involves significant risks. The Notes do not pay interest. You may lose some or all of your principal amount. You will be exposed to the market risk of each Underlying and any decline in the level of one Underlying may negatively affect your return and will not be offset or mitigated by a lesser decline or any potential increase in the level of the other Underlying. Generally, a higher Call Return 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.

t Call Return: JPMorgan Financial will automatically call the Notes for a Call Price equal to the principal amount plus
a Call Return if (i) the closing level of each Underlying on any Observation Date (other than the Final Valuation Date) is equal to or
greater than its Initial Value or (ii) the closing level of each Underlying on the Final Valuation Date is equal to or greater than its
Downside Threshold. The Call Return increases the longer the Notes are outstanding. If the Notes are not called, investors will be exposed
to any depreciation of the Underlyings at maturity.
t Contingent Downside Exposure: If by maturity the Notes have not been called and, therefore, either Underlying closes below
its Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date, JPMorgan Financial will repay less than the principal amount, if anything, resulting
in a loss of your principal amount that is proportionate to the decline of the Lesser Performing Underlying from its Initial Value to
its Final Value. The contingent repayment of principal applies only if you hold the Notes until 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 LESSER PERFORMING 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 6 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.

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 “open transactions” that are not debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, as more fully described in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders —
Notes Treated as Open Transactions That Are Not Debt Instruments” in the accompanying product supplement. Assuming this treatment
is respected, the gain or loss on your Notes should be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if you hold your Notes for more than
a year, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of Notes at the issue price. However, the IRS or a court may not respect this
treatment, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the Notes could be materially and adversely affected.
In addition, in 2007 Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid
forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require investors in these instruments
to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character
of income or loss with respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the
instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors should be
subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” regime,
which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income and impose a notional interest charge.
While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated
after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the Notes, possibly
with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment
in the Notes, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by this notice.
Section 871(m) of the Code and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder
(“Section 871(m)”) generally impose a 30% withholding tax (unless an income tax treaty applies) on dividend equivalents paid
or deemed paid to Non-U.S. Holders with respect to certain financial instruments linked to U.S. equities or indices that include U.S.
equities. Section 871(m) provides certain exceptions to this withholding regime, including for instruments linked to certain broad-based
indices that meet requirements set forth in the applicable Treasury regulations. Additionally, a recent IRS notice excludes from the scope
of Section 871(m) instruments issued prior to January 1, 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, our special tax counsel is of the opinion that Section 871(m) should 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.
You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to the Notes.
Key
Risks
An investment in the Notes involves significant risks. Investing in
the Notes is not equivalent to investing directly in either or both of the Underlyings. 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
|
t
|
Your 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 the Notes are not automatically
called and, therefore, the closing level of either Underlying has declined below its Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date, you
will be fully exposed to any depreciation of the Lesser Performing Underlying from its Initial Value to its 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 of the Lesser Performing Underlying. Under these circumstances, you will lose 1% of your principal for
every 1% that the Final Value of the Lesser Performing Underlying is less than its 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 either Underlying at maturity.
|
|
t
|
Credit 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.
|
|
t
|
As 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.
|
|
t
|
Limited Return on the Notes — Your potential gain on the Notes will be limited to the applicable Call Return, regardless
of the appreciation of either Underlying, which may be significant. Because the Call Return increases the longer the Notes have been outstanding
and your Notes can be automatically called as early as the first Observation Date, the term of the Notes could be cut short and the return
on the Notes would be less than if the Notes were called at a later date. In addition, because the closing level of either Underlying
at various times during the term of the Notes could be higher than on the Observation Dates and on the Final Valuation Date, you may receive
a lower payment if the Notes are automatically called or at maturity, as the case may be, than you would have if you had hypothetically
invested directly in either Underlying. Even though you will not participate in any potential appreciation of either Underlying, you may
be exposed to each Underlying’s downside market risk if the Notes are not automatically called.
|
|
t
|
Because the Notes Are Linked to the Lesser Performing Underlying, You Are Exposed to Greater Risks of the Notes Not Being Automatically
Called and Sustaining a Significant Loss on Your Investment at Maturity Than If the Notes Were Linked to a Single Underlying —
The risk that the Notes will not be automatically called and you will lose some or all of your initial investment in the Notes at maturity
is greater if you invest in the Notes as opposed to substantially similar securities that are linked to the performance of a single Underlying.
With two Underlyings, it is more likely that the closing level of either Underlying will be less than its Initial Value on the Observation
Dates prior to the Final Valuation Date or less than its Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date. Therefore it is more likely
that the Notes will not be automatically called and that you will suffer a significant loss on your investment at maturity. In addition,
the performance of the Underlyings may not be correlated or may be negatively correlated.
|
The lower the correlation between two Underlyings, the greater
the potential for one of those Underlyings to close below its Initial Value or Downside Threshold on an Observation Date prior to the
Final Valuation Date or on the Final Valuation Date, respectively. Although the correlation of the Underlyings’ performance may
change over the term of the Notes, the Call Return Rate is determined, in part, based on the correlation of the Underlyings’ performance,
as calculated using internal models of our affiliates at the time when the terms of the Notes are finalized. A higher Call Return
Rate is generally associated with lower correlation of the Underlyings, which reflects a greater potential for a loss of principal at
maturity. The correlation referenced in setting the terms of the Notes is calculated using internal models of our affiliates and
is not derived from the returns of the Underlyings over the period set forth under “Correlation of the Underlyings” below.
In addition, other factors and inputs other than correlation may impact how the terms of the Notes are set and the performance of the
Notes. Furthermore, because the closing level of each Underlying must be greater than or equal to (i) its Initial Value on an Observation
Date prior to the Final Valuation Date or (ii) its Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date in order for the notes to be automatically
called, the Notes are less likely to be automatically called on any Observation Date than if the Notes were linked to a single Underlying.
|
t
|
You Are Exposed to the Risk of Decline of Each Underlying — Your return on the Notes and your payment at maturity, if
any, is not linked to a basket consisting of the Underlyings. If the Notes have not been automatically called, your payment at maturity
is
|
contingent upon the performance of each individual Underlying
such that you will be equally exposed to the risks related to either of the Underlyings. In addition, the performance of the Underlyings
may not be correlated. Poor performance by either of the Underlyings over the term of the Notes may negatively affect whether the
Notes will be automatically called and your payment at maturity and will not be offset or mitigated by positive performance by the other
Underlying. Accordingly, your investment is subject to the risk of decline of each Underlying.
|
t
|
Your Payment at Maturity Will Be Determined By the Lesser Performing Underlying — Because the payment at maturity will
be determined based on the performance of the Lesser Performing Underlying, you will not benefit from the performance of the other Underlying.
Accordingly, if the Notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value of either Underlying is less than its Downside Threshold,
you will lose some or all of your principal amount at maturity, even if the Final Value of the other Underlying is greater than or equal
to its Initial Value.
|
|
t
|
The Contingent 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 levels of both Underlyings are above their respective Downside Thresholds. If by maturity the Notes have not been automatically
called and, therefore, either Underlying closes below its Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date, JPMorgan Financial will repay
less than the principal amount, if anything, resulting in a loss that is proportionate to the decline of the Lesser Performing Underlying
from its Initial Value to its Final Value. The contingent repayment of principal is based on whether the Final Value of the Lesser Performing
Underlying is below the Downside Threshold and applies only if you hold your Notes to maturity.
|
|
t
|
A Higher Call Return Rate and/or a Lower Downside Threshold May Reflect Greater Expected Volatility
of the Underlyings, Which Is Generally Associated With a Greater Risk of Loss — Volatility is a measure of the degree of variation
in the levels of the Underlyings over a period of time. The greater the expected volatilities of the Underlyings at the time the
terms of the Notes are set, the greater the expectation is at that time that the Notes will not be automatically called for the applicable
Call Price and that you may lose a significant portion or all of your principal at maturity. In addition, the economic terms of
the Notes, including the Call Return Rate and the Downside Threshold, are based, in part, on the expected volatilities of the Underlyings
at the time the terms of the Notes are set, where higher expected volatilities will generally be reflected in a higher Call Return 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 Call Return 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 each Underlying and the potential
loss of some or all of your principal at maturity.
|
|
t
|
Reinvestment Risk — If your Notes are automatically called early, the holding period over which you would receive the
Call Return Rate could be 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 rate of return for a similar level of risk in the event the Notes are called prior to the Maturity
Date.
|
|
t
|
No Periodic Interest Payments — You will not receive any periodic interest payments on the Notes.
|
|
t
|
Investing in the Notes Is Not Equivalent to Investing in the Stocks Composing the Underlyings — Investing in the Notes
is not equivalent to investing in the stocks included in the Underlyings. As an investor in the Notes, you will not have any ownership
interest or rights in the stocks included in the Underlyings, such as voting rights, dividend payments or other distributions.
|
|
t
|
We Cannot Control Actions by the Sponsor of Either Underlying and That Sponsor Has No Obligation
to Consider Your Interests — We and our affiliates are not affiliated with the sponsor of either Underlying and have no ability
to control or predict its actions, including any errors in or discontinuation of public disclosure regarding methods or policies relating
to the calculation of that Underlying. The sponsor of each Underlying is not involved in this Note offering in any way and has no obligation
to consider your interest as an owner of the Notes in taking any actions that might affect the market value of your Notes.
|
|
t
|
Your Return on the Notes Will Not Reflect Dividends on the Stocks Composing the Underlyings — Your return on the Notes
will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the stocks included in the Underlyings and received the dividends
on the stocks included in the Underlyings. This is because the calculation agent will determine whether the Notes will be called and,
if not called, the amount payable to you at maturity of the Notes by reference to the closing level of each Underlying on the relevant
Observation Date, without taking into consideration the value of dividends on the stocks included in that Underlying.
|
|
t
|
No Assurances of a Flat or Bullish Environment — While the Notes are structured to provide potentially enhanced returns
in a flat or bullish environment, we cannot assure you of the economic environment during the term or at maturity of your Notes and you
will lose some or all of your investment at maturity if the Notes have not been called.
|
|
t
|
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 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.
|
|
t
|
Tax Treatment — Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Notes are uncertain. You should consult your tax adviser
about your tax situation.
|
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest
|
t
|
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 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.
|
t
|
Potentially 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
investments linked to either Underlying and could affect the level of an Underlying, and therefore the market value of the Notes.
|
|
t
|
Potential JPMorgan Financial Impact on the Level of an Underlying — Trading or transactions by JPMorgan Financial or
its affiliates in an Underlying and/or over-the-counter options, futures or other instruments with returns linked to the performance of
an Underlying may adversely affect the level of that Underlying and, therefore, the market value of the Notes.
|
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices
of the Notes
|
t
|
The Estimated Value of the Notes Is 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 exceeds the estimated
value of the Notes because costs associated with structuring and hedging the Notes are included in the original issue price of the Notes.
These costs include 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.
|
|
t
|
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.
|
|
t
|
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.
|
|
t
|
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 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).
|
|
t
|
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 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.
|
t
|
Many 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 projected hedging profits, if any, estimated hedging costs
and the levels of the Underlyings, including:
|
t
|
any actual or potential change in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness or credit spreads;
|
|
t
|
customary bid-ask spreads for similarly sized trades;
|
|
t
|
our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances;
|
|
t
|
the actual and expected volatility in the levels of the Underlyings;
|
|
t
|
the time to maturity of the Notes;
|
|
t
|
the likelihood of an automatic call being triggered;
|
|
t
|
the dividend rates on the equity securities included in the Underlyings;
|
|
t
|
the actual and expected positive or negative correlation between the Underlyings, or the actual or expected absence of any such correlation;
|
|
t
|
interest and yield rates in the market generally;
|
|
t
|
the exchange rates and the volatility of the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and each of the currencies in which the equity
securities included in the Underlyings trade and the correlation among those rates and the levels of the Underlyings; and
|
|
t
|
a 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 Underlyings
|
t
|
Non-U.S. Securities Risk — The equity securities included in the Underlyings have
been issued by non-U.S. companies. Investments in securities linked to the value of such non-U.S. equity securities involve risks associated
with the securities markets in the home countries of the issuers of those non-U.S. equity securities, including risks of volatility in
those markets, governmental intervention in those markets and cross shareholdings in companies in certain countries. Also, there is generally
less publicly available information about companies in some of these jurisdictions than about U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting
requirements of the SEC.
|
|
t
|
Emerging Markets Risk with Respect to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index — The equity
securities included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index have been issued by non-U.S. companies located in emerging markets countries. Countries
with emerging markets may have relatively unstable governments, may present the risks of nationalization of businesses, restrictions on
foreign ownership and prohibitions on the repatriation of assets, and may have less protection of property rights than more developed
countries. The economies of countries with emerging markets may be based on only a few industries, may be highly vulnerable to changes
in local or global trade conditions, and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt burdens or inflation rates. Local securities markets
may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt
liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at times.
|
|
t
|
The Notes Are Subject to Currency Exchange Risk with Respect to the MSCI Emerging Markets
Index — Because the prices of the equity securities included in the MSCI
Emerging Markets Index are converted into U.S. dollars for purposes of calculating the level of the MSCI
Emerging Markets Index, holders of the Notes will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the currencies
in which the equity securities included in the MSCI
Emerging Markets Index trade. Your net exposure will depend on the extent to which those currencies strengthen or weaken against
the U.S. dollar and the relative weight of equity securities included in the MSCI
Emerging Markets Index denominated in each of those currencies. If, taking into account the relevant weighting, the U.S. dollar
strengthens against those currencies, the level of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index will be
adversely affected and any payment on the Notes may be reduced. Of particular importance to potential currency exchange risk are:
|
|
t
|
existing and expected rates of inflation;
|
|
t
|
existing and expected interest rate levels;
|
|
t
|
the balance of payments in the countries issuing those currencies and the United States and between each country and its major trading
partners;
|
|
t
|
political, civil or military unrest in the countries issuing those currencies and the United States; and
|
|
t
|
the extent of government surpluses or deficits in the countries issuing those currencies and the United States.
|
All of these factors are in turn sensitive to the monetary,
fiscal and trade policies pursued by the governments of the countries issuing those currencies and the United States and other countries
important to international trade and finance.
|
t
|
Recent Executive Orders May Adversely Affect the Performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index — Pursuant to recent
executive orders, U.S. persons are prohibited from engaging in transactions in, or possession of, publicly traded securities of certain
companies that are determined to be linked to the People’s Republic of China military, intelligence and security apparatus, or securities
that are derivative of, or are designed to provide investment exposure to, those securities. The sponsor of the MSCI Emerging Markets
Index recently removed the equity securities of a small number of companies from the MSCI Emerging Markets Index in response to these
executive orders. If the issuer of any of the equity securities included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index is in the future designated
as such a prohibited company, the value of that company may be adversely affected, perhaps significantly, which would
|
adversely affect the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets
Index. In addition, under these circumstances, the sponsor of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index is expected to remove the equity securities
of that company from the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Any changes to the composition of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index in response
to these executive orders could adversely affect the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.
|
t
|
No Direct Exposure to Fluctuations in Foreign Exchange Rates with Respect to the EURO STOXX 50® Index —
The value of the Notes will not be adjusted for exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the currencies upon which the equity
securities included in the EURO STOXX 50® Index are based, although any currency fluctuations could affect the performance
of the EURO STOXX 50® Index. Therefore, if the applicable currencies appreciate or depreciate relative to the U.S. dollar
over the term of the Notes, you will not receive any additional payment or incur any reduction in any payment on the Notes.
|
Hypothetical
Examples
Hypothetical terms only. Actual terms
may vary. See the cover page for actual offering terms.
The examples below illustrate the hypothetical payment upon an automatic
call or at maturity under different hypothetical scenarios for a $10.00 Note on an offering of the Notes linked to two hypothetical Underlyings
and assume an Initial Value of 100.00 and a Downside Threshold of 90.00 (which is 90.00% of the Initial Value)
for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, an Initial Value of 100.00 and a Downside Threshold of 90.00 (which is 90.00% of the Initial Value)
for the EURO STOXX 50® Index and a Call Return Rate of 5.00% per annum. The hypothetical Initial Value of 100.00 for each
Underlying has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual Initial Value for either Underlying. The actual
Initial Value and the resulting Downside Threshold of each Underlying are based on the closing level of that Underlying on the Trade Date
and are specified on the cover of this pricing supplement. For historical data regarding the actual closing levels of the Underlyings,
please see the historical information set forth under “The MSCI Emerging Markets Index” and “The EURO STOXX 50®
Index” in this pricing supplement. The actual Call Return Rate is specified on the cover of this pricing supplement. The hypothetical
payments on the Notes set forth in the examples below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual returns applicable
to a purchaser of the Notes. The actual payment on the Notes may be more or less than the amounts displayed below and will be determined
based on the actual terms of the Notes, including the Initial Value and the Downside Threshold of each Underlying, the Call Return Rate
and the Final Value of each Underlying on the Final Valuation Date. You should consider carefully whether the Notes are suitable to your
investment goals. The numbers appearing in the examples below have been rounded for ease of analysis. In these examples, we refer to the
MSCI Emerging Markets Index and the EURO STOXX 50® Index as the “MXEF Index” and the “SX5E Index,”
respectively.

Because the Notes are not automatically called and, therefore, the
Final Value of the Lesser Performing Underlying is below its Downside Threshold and the Lesser Performing Underlying Return is -70%, at
maturity we will pay you a total of $3.00 per $10.00 principal amount (a 70% loss on 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 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.
The
Underlyings
Included on the following pages is a brief description of the
Underlyings. This information has been obtained from publicly available sources, without independent verification. Set forth below is
a table that provides the quarterly high and low closing levels of each Underlying. The information given below is for the four calendar
quarters in each of 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 and the first, second and third calendar quarters of 2021. Partial data is provided
for the fourth calendar quarter of 2021. We obtained the closing levels information set forth below from the Bloomberg Professional®
service (“Bloomberg”), without independent verification. You should not take the historical levels of either Underlying as
an indication of future performance.
The
MSCI Emerging Markets Index
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a free-float adjusted market capitalization
index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of global emerging markets. For additional information about the MSCI
Emerging Markets Index, see the information set forth under “Equity Index Descriptions — The MSCI Indices” in the accompanying
underlying supplement.
Historical Information Regarding the MSCI Emerging Markets
Index
The following table sets forth the quarterly high and low closing
levels of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, based on daily closing levels of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index as reported by Bloomberg,
without independent verification. The closing level of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index on December 2, 2021 was 1,236.19. We obtained the
closing levels of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index above and below from Bloomberg, without independent verification. You should not take
the historical levels of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index as an indication of future performance.

The graph below illustrates the daily performance of the EURO
STOXX 50® Index from January 3, 2011 through December 2, 2021, based on information from Bloomberg, without independent
verification. The dotted line represents the Downside Threshold of 2,875.61, equal to 70% of the closing level of the EURO STOXX 50®
Index on December 2, 2021.
Past performance of the EURO STOXX 50®
Index is not indicative of the future performance of the EURO STOXX 50® Index.
Correlation
of the Underlyings
The graph below illustrates the daily performance of the MSCI
Emerging Markets Index and the EURO STOXX 50® Index from January 3, 2011 through December 2, 2021. For comparison purposes,
each Underlying has been normalized to have a closing level of 100.00 on January 3, 2011 by dividing the closing level of that Underlying
on each day by the closing level of that Underlying on January 3, 2011 and multiplying by 100.00. We obtained the closing levels used
to determine the normalized closing levels set forth below from Bloomberg, without independent verification.
Past performance of the Underlyings is not indicative
of the future performance of the Underlyings.
The correlation of a pair of Underlyings represents a statistical
measurement of the degree to which the returns of those Underlyings were similar to each other over a given period in terms of timing
and direction. The correlation between a pair of Underlyings is scaled from 1.0
to -1.0, with 1.0 indicating perfect positive correlation (i.e., the value of both Underlyings are increasing together or decreasing
together and the ratio of their returns has been constant), 0 indicating no correlation (i.e., there is no statistical relationship
between the returns of that pair of Underlyings) and -1.0 indicating perfect negative correlation (i.e., as the value of one Underlying
increases, the value of the other Underlying decreases and the ratio of their returns has been constant).
The closer the relationship of the returns of a pair of Underlyings
over a given period, the more positively correlated those Underlyings are. The
graph above illustrates the historical performance of each Underlying relative to each other over the time period shown and provides an
indication of how close the relative performance of each Underlying has historically been to the other Underlying.
The lower (or more negative) the correlation between the Underlyings,
the less likely it is that the Underlyings will move in the same direction and, therefore, the greater the potential for one of the Underlyings
to close below its Initial Value on any Observation Date prior to the Final Valuation Date or its Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation
Date. This is because the less positively correlated the Underlyings are, the
greater the likelihood that at least one of the Underlyings will decrease in value. However,
even if the Underlyings have a higher positive correlation, one or both of the Underlyings might close below its Initial Value on any
Observation Date prior to the Final Valuation Date or its Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date, as both of the Underlyings may
decrease in value together.
Although the correlation of the Underlyings’ performance
may change over the term of the Notes, the Call Return Rate is determined, in part, based on the correlation of the Underlyings’
performance calculated using internal models of our affiliates at the time when the terms of the Notes are finalized. A
higher Call Return Rate is generally associated with lower correlation of the Underlyings, which reflects a greater potential for the
Notes not being automatically called and for a loss of principal at maturity. The
correlation referenced in setting the terms of the Notes is calculated using internal models of our affiliates and is not derived from
the returns of the Underlyings over the period set forth above. In addition,
other factors and inputs other than correlation may impact how the terms of the Notes are set and the performance of the Notes.
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 have agreed 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.
All sales of the Notes will be made to certain fee-based advisory accounts
for which UBS is an investment adviser and UBS will act as placement agent. The purchase price will be $10.00 per Note and UBS will forgo
any selling commissions related to these sales.
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 is lower than the original issue price
of the Notes because costs associated with structuring and hedging the Notes are included in the original issue price of the Notes. These
costs include 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
Is 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 five 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 Underlyings” 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 (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.
Validity
of the Notes and the Guarantee
In the opinion of Davis Polk &
Wardwell LLP, as special products counsel to JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., when the Notes offered by this pricing supplement
have been executed and issued by JPMorgan Financial and authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the indenture, and delivered against
payment as contemplated herein, such Notes will be valid and binding obligations of JPMorgan Financial and the related guarantee will
constitute a valid and binding obligation of JPMorgan Chase & Co., enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles
of general applicability (including, without limitation, concepts of good faith, fair dealing and the lack of bad faith), provided
that such counsel expresses no opinion as to (i) the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable
law on the conclusions expressed above or (ii) any provision of the indenture that purports to avoid the effect of fraudulent conveyance,
fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law by limiting the amount of JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s obligation under
the related guarantee. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the State of New York, the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions
about the trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery of the indenture and its authentication of the Notes and the validity,
binding nature and enforceability of the indenture with respect to the trustee, all as stated in the letter of such counsel dated February
26, 2020, which was filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 by JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. on
February 26, 2020.
