Auto Callable Buffered Return Enhanced Notes Linked
to the Lesser Performing of the S&P 500® Index and the Russell 2000® Index due June 9, 2022
Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase
& Co.
|
·
|
The notes are designed for investors who seek early exit prior to maturity at a premium if, on the Review Date, the closing
level of each of the S&P 500® Index and the Russell 2000® Index, which we refer to as the Indices,
is at or above its Call Value.
|
|
·
|
The date on which an automatic call may be initiated is June 8, 2021.
|
|
·
|
The notes are also designed for investors who seek an uncapped return of 3.00 times any appreciation of the lesser performing
of the Indices at maturity, if the notes have not been automatically called.
|
|
·
|
Investors should be willing to forgo interest and dividend payments and be willing to lose up to 90.00% of their principal
amount at maturity.
|
|
·
|
The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, which we refer to as JPMorgan
Financial, the payment on which is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. Any payment on the notes
is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial, as issuer of the notes, and the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co., as
guarantor of the notes.

|
·
|
Payments on the notes are not linked to a basket composed of the Indices. Payments on the notes are linked to the performance
of each of the Indices individually, as described below.

Underlyings” and “General Terms of Notes — Postponement of a Payment Date” in the accompanying product
supplement
Automatic Call:
If the closing level of each Index on the Review Date is greater than or
equal to its Call Value, the notes will be automatically called for a cash payment, for each $1,000 principal amount note, equal
to (a) $1,000 plus (b) the Call Premium Amount, payable on the Call Settlement Date. No further payments will be made on
the notes.
If the notes are automatically called, you will not benefit from the
Upside Leverage Factor that applies to the payment at maturity if the Final Value of each Index is greater than its Initial Value.
Because the Upside Leverage Factor does not apply to the payment upon an automatic call, the payment upon an automatic call may
be significantly less than the payment at maturity for the same level of appreciation in the Lesser Performing Index.
Payment at Maturity:
If the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value of each
Index is greater than its Initial Value, your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × Lesser Performing Index Return
× Upside Leverage Factor)
If the notes have not been automatically called and (i) the Final Value
of one Index is greater than its Initial Value and the Final Value of the other Index is equal to its Initial Value or is less
than its Initial Value by up to the Buffer Amount or (ii) the Final Value of each Index is equal to its Initial Value or is less
than its Initial Value by up to the Buffer Amount, you will receive the principal amount of your notes at maturity.
If the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value of either
Index is less than its Initial Value by more than the Buffer Amount, your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note
will be calculated as follows:
$1,000 + [$1,000 × (Lesser Performing Index Return
+ Buffer Amount)]
If the notes have not been automatically
called and the Final Value of either Index is less than its Initial Value by more than the Buffer Amount, you will lose some or
most of your principal amount at maturity.

Payment at Maturity If the Notes Have Not Been Automatically
Called
The following table illustrates the hypothetical total return
and payment at maturity on the notes linked to two hypothetical Indices if the notes have not been automatically called. The “total
return” as used in this pricing supplement is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the payment
at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note to $1,000. The hypothetical total returns and payments set forth below assume the
following:
|
·
|
the notes have not been automatically called;
|
|
·
|
an Initial Value for the Lesser Performing Index of 100.00;
|
|
·
|
an Upside Leverage Factor of 3.00; and
|
|
·
|
a Buffer Amount of 10.00%.
|
The hypothetical Initial Value of the Lesser Performing
Index of 100.00 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual Initial Value of either Index.
The actual Initial Value of each Index is the closing level of that Index on the Pricing Date and is specified under “Key
Terms — Initial Value” in this pricing supplement. For historical data regarding the actual closing levels of each
Index, please see the historical information set forth under “The Indices” in this pricing supplement.
Each hypothetical total return or hypothetical payment at
maturity set forth below is for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual total return or payment at maturity applicable
to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following table have been rounded for ease of analysis.

How the Notes
Work
Upside Scenario If Automatic Call:
If the closing level of each Index on the Review Date is greater
than or equal to its Call Value, the notes will be automatically called and investors will receive on the Call Settlement Date
the $1,000 principal amount plus the Call Premium Amount of $90.00. No further payments will be made on the notes.
|
·
|
If the closing level of the Lesser Performing Index increases 10.00% as of
the Review Date, the notes will be automatically called and investors will receive a 9.00% return, or $1,090.00 per $1,000 principal
amount note.
|
Upside Scenario If No Automatic Call:
If the notes have not been automatically called and the Final
Value of each Index is greater than its Initial Value, investors will receive at maturity the $1,000 principal amount plus
a return equal to the Lesser Performing Index Return times the Upside Leverage Factor of 3.00.
|
·
|
If the notes have not been automatically called and the closing level of the Lesser Performing Index increases 5.00%, investors
will receive at maturity a 15.00% return, or $1,150.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.
|
Par Scenario:
If the notes have not been automatically called and (i) the
Final Value of one Index is greater than its Initial Value and the Final Value of the other Index is equal to its Initial Value
or is less than its Initial Value by up to the Buffer Amount of 10.00% or (ii) the Final Value of each Index is equal to its Initial
Value or is less than its Initial Value by up to the Buffer Amount of 10.00%, investors will receive at maturity the principal
amount of their notes.
Downside Scenario:
If the notes have not been automatically called and the Final
Value of either Index is less than its Initial Value by more than the Buffer Amount of 10.00%, investors will lose 1% of the principal
amount of their notes for every 1% that the Final Value of the Lesser Performing Index is less than its Initial Value by more than
the Buffer Amount.
|
·
|
For example, if the notes have not been automatically called and the closing
level of the Lesser Performing Index declines 60.00%, investors will lose 50.00% of their principal amount and receive only $500.00
per $1,000 principal amount note at maturity, calculated as follows:
|
$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-60.00%
+ 10.00%)] = $500.00
The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the
notes shown above apply only if you hold the notes for their entire term or until automatically called. These hypotheticals
do not reflect the fees or expenses that would be associated with any sale in the secondary market. If these fees and expenses
were included, the hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments shown above would likely be lower.
Selected Risk
Considerations
An investment in the notes involves significant risks. These
risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” sections of the accompanying prospectus supplement, product
supplement and underlying supplement.
|
·
|
YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS —
|
The notes do not guarantee any return of principal.
If the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value of either Index is less than its Initial Value by more than
10.00%, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Final Value of the Lesser Performing Index
is less than its Initial Value by more than 10.00%. Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose up to 90.00% of your
principal amount at maturity.
|
·
|
CREDIT RISKS OF JPMORGAN FINANCIAL AND JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. —
|
Investors are dependent on our and JPMorgan Chase
& Co.’s ability to pay all amounts due on the notes. Any actual or potential change in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s
creditworthiness or credit spreads, as determined by the market for taking that credit risk, is likely to adversely affect the
value of the notes. If we and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were to default on our payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts
owed to you under the notes and you could lose your entire investment.

|
AS A FINANCE SUBSIDIARY, JPMORGAN FINANCIAL HAS NO INDEPENDENT OPERATIONS AND HAS LIMITED ASSETS
—
|
As a finance subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase &
Co., we have no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of our securities. 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.
|
·
|
IF THE NOTES ARE AUTOMATICALLY CALLED, THE APPRECIATION POTENTIAL OF THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO THE
CALL PREMIUM AMOUNT PAID ON THE NOTES,
|
regardless of any appreciation of either Index,
which may be significant. In addition, if the notes are automatically called, you will not benefit from the Upside Leverage Factor
that applies to the payment at maturity if the Final Value of each Index is greater than its Initial Value. Because the Upside
Leverage Factor does not apply to the payment upon an automatic call, the payment upon an automatic call may be significantly less
than the payment at maturity for the same level of appreciation in the Lesser Performing Index.
We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in
connection with the notes. In performing these duties, our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s economic interests are potentially
adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes. It is possible that hedging or trading activities of ours or our affiliates
in connection with the notes could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the notes declines.
Please refer to “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest” in the accompanying product supplement.
|
·
|
JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. IS CURRENTLY ONE OF THE COMPANIES THAT MAKE UP THE S&P 500®
INDEX,
|
but JPMorgan
Chase & Co. will not have any obligation to consider your interests in taking any corporate action that might affect the level
of the S&P 500® Index.
|
·
|
YOU ARE EXPOSED TO THE RISK OF DECLINE IN THE LEVEL OF EACH INDEX —
|
Payments on the notes are not linked to a basket
composed of the Indices and are contingent upon the performance of each individual Index. Poor performance by either of the Indices
over the term of the notes may result in the notes not being automatically called on a Review Date, may negatively affect your
payment at maturity and will not be offset or mitigated by positive performance by the other Index.
|
·
|
YOUR PAYMENT AT MATURITY WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE LESSER PERFORMING INDEX.
|
|
·
|
THE AUTOMATIC CALL FEATURE MAY FORCE A POTENTIAL EARLY EXIT —
|
If your notes are automatically called, the term
of the notes may be reduced to as short as approximately one year. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the
proceeds from an investment in the notes at a comparable return for a similar level of risk. Even in cases where the notes are
called before maturity, you are not entitled to any fees and commissions described on the front cover of this pricing supplement.
|
·
|
THE NOTES DO NOT PAY INTEREST.
|
|
·
|
YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE DIVIDENDS ON THE SECURITIES INCLUDED IN EITHER INDEX OR HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH
RESPECT TO THOSE SECURITIES.
|
|
·
|
AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES IS SUBJECT TO RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SMALL CAPITALIZATION STOCKS WITH RESPECT TO THE RUSSELL 2000®
INDEX —
|
Small capitalization companies may be less able to
withstand adverse economic, market, trade and competitive conditions relative to larger companies. Small capitalization companies
are less likely to pay dividends on their stocks, and the presence of a dividend payment could be a factor that limits downward
stock price pressure under adverse market conditions.
The notes will not be listed on any securities
exchange. Accordingly, the price at which you may be able to trade your notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which
JPMS is willing to buy the notes. You may not be able to sell your notes. The notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments.
Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity.

·
|
THE 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 selling, structuring and hedging the notes are included in the original issue price of the notes. These costs
include the selling commissions, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent
in hedging our obligations under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. See “The Estimated
Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
|
·
|
THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE VALUES OF THE NOTES AND MAY DIFFER
FROM OTHERS’ ESTIMATES —
|
See “The Estimated Value of the Notes”
in this pricing supplement.
|
·
|
THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES IS DERIVED BY REFERENCE TO AN INTERNAL FUNDING RATE —
|
The internal funding rate used in the determination
of the estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied funding rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar
maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference may be based on, among other things, our and our
affiliates’ view of the funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management
costs of the notes in comparison to those costs for the conventional fixed income instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This
internal funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate
the prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to
that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any secondary market prices of the notes. See “The Estimated
Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
|
·
|
THE VALUE OF THE NOTES AS PUBLISHED BY JPMS (AND WHICH MAY BE REFLECTED ON CUSTOMER ACCOUNT STATEMENTS)
MAY BE HIGHER THAN THE THEN-CURRENT ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES FOR A LIMITED TIME PERIOD —
|
We generally expect that some of the costs included
in the original issue price of the notes will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your notes by
JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period. See “Secondary Market Prices of the Notes”
in this pricing supplement for additional information relating to this initial period. Accordingly, the estimated value of your
notes during this initial period may be lower than the value of the notes as published by JPMS (and which may be shown on your
customer account statements).
|
·
|
SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL LIKELY BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE OF THE
NOTES —
|
Any secondary market prices of the notes will likely
be lower than the original issue price of the notes because, among other things, secondary market prices take into account our
internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances and, also, because secondary market prices may exclude selling
commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, and estimated hedging costs that are included in the original issue price of the
notes. As a result, the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy the notes from you in secondary market transactions,
if at all, is likely to be lower than the original issue price. Any sale by you prior to the Maturity Date could result in a substantial
loss to you.
|
·
|
SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL BE IMPACTED BY MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS —
|
The secondary market price of the notes during
their term will be impacted by a number of economic and market factors, which may either offset or magnify each other, aside from
the selling commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, estimated hedging costs and the levels of the Indices. Additionally,
independent pricing vendors and/or third party broker-dealers may publish a price for the notes, which may also be reflected on
customer account statements. This price may be different (higher or lower) than the price of the notes, if any, at which JPMS may
be willing to purchase your notes in the secondary market. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value
and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — Secondary market prices of the notes will be impacted by many economic and market
factors” in the accompanying product supplement.

Historical Information
The following graphs set forth the historical performance
of each Index based on the weekly historical closing levels from January 2, 2015 through June 5, 2020. The closing level of the
S&P 500® Index on June 5, 2020 was 3,193.93. The closing level of the Russell 2000® Index on
June 5, 2020 was 1,507.153. We obtained the closing levels above and below from the Bloomberg Professional® service
(“Bloomberg”), without independent verification.
The historical closing levels of each Index should not
be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the closing level of either Index on the Review
Date or the Observation Date. There can be no assurance that the performance of the Indices will result in the return of any of
your principal amount in excess of $100.00 per $1,000 principal amount note, subject to the credit risks of JPMorgan Financial
and JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Tax Treatment
You should review carefully the section entitled “Material
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 4-I. The following discussion, when read
in combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, regarding
the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of notes.
Based on current market conditions, in the opinion of
our special tax counsel it is reasonable to treat the notes as “open transactions” that are not debt instruments for
U.S. federal income tax purposes, as more fully described in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Tax Consequences
to U.S. Holders — Notes Treated as Open Transactions That Are Not Debt Instruments” in the accompanying product supplement.
Assuming this treatment is respected, the gain or loss on your notes should be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if you
hold your notes for more than a year, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of notes at the issue price. However, the IRS
or a court may not respect this treatment, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the notes could be materially
and adversely affected. In addition, in 2007 Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income
tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to
require investors in these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number
of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as
the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated
accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject
to the “constructive ownership” regime, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital
gain as ordinary income and impose a notional interest charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules
and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially
and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the notes, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your
tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including possible alternative treatments
and the issues presented by this notice.
Section 871(m) of the Code and Treasury regulations promulgated
thereunder (“Section 871(m)”) generally impose a 30% withholding tax (unless an income tax treaty applies) on dividend
equivalents paid or deemed paid to Non-U.S. Holders with respect to certain financial instruments linked to U.S. equities or indices
that include U.S. equities. Section 871(m) provides certain exceptions to this withholding regime, including for instruments linked
to certain broad-based indices that meet requirements set forth in the applicable Treasury regulations. Additionally, a recent
IRS notice excludes from the scope of Section 871(m) instruments issued prior to January 1, 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.
The Estimated
Value of the Notes
The estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover
of this pricing supplement is equal to the sum of the values of the following hypothetical components: (1) a fixed-income debt
component with the same maturity as the notes, valued using the internal funding rate described below, and (2) the derivative or
derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes. The estimated value of the notes does not represent a minimum price at
which JPMS would be willing to buy your notes in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The internal funding rate used
in the determination of the estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied funding rate for vanilla fixed income
instruments of a similar maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference may be based on, among other
things, our and our affiliates’ view of the funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing
liability management costs of the notes in comparison to those costs for the conventional fixed income instruments of JPMorgan
Chase & Co. This internal funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect,
and is intended to approximate the prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use of an internal funding rate
and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any secondary market prices of
the notes. For additional information, see “Selected Risk Considerations — The Estimated Value of the Notes Is Derived
by Reference to an Internal Funding Rate” in this pricing supplement.
The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying
the economic terms of the notes is derived from internal pricing models of our affiliates. These models are dependent on inputs
such as the traded market prices of comparable derivative instruments and on various other inputs, some of which are market-observable,
and which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors, as well as assumptions about future market
events and/or environments. Accordingly, the estimated value of the notes is

|
|
determined when the terms of the notes are set based on
market conditions and other relevant factors and assumptions existing at that time.
The estimated value of the notes does not represent future
values of the notes and may differ from others’ estimates. Different pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations
for the notes that are greater than or less than the estimated value of the notes. In addition, market conditions and other relevant
factors in the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to be incorrect. On future dates, the value of the notes could
change significantly based on, among other things, changes in market conditions, our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness,
interest rate movements and other relevant factors, which may impact the price, if any, at which JPMS would be willing to buy notes
from you in secondary market transactions.
The estimated value of the notes is lower than the original
issue price of the notes because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the notes are included in the original
issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers,
the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under
the notes and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. Because hedging our obligations entails risk and may
be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or it
may result in a loss. A portion of the profits, if any, realized in hedging our obligations under the notes may be allowed to other
affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, and we or one or more of our affiliates will retain any remaining hedging profits. See “Selected
Risk Considerations — 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 “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of
the Notes — Secondary market prices of the notes will be impacted by many economic and market factors” in the accompanying
product supplement. In addition, we generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the notes will
be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over
an initial predetermined period. These costs can include selling commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, and, in some circumstances,
estimated hedging costs and our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances. This initial predetermined
time period is intended to be the shorter of six months and one-half of the stated term of the notes. The length of any such initial
period reflects the structure of the notes, whether our affiliates expect to earn a profit in connection with our hedging activities,
the estimated costs of hedging the notes and when these costs are incurred, as determined by our affiliates. See “Selected
Risk Considerations — The Value of the Notes as Published by JPMS (and Which May Be Reflected on Customer Account Statements)
May Be Higher Than the Then-Current Estimated Value of the Notes for a Limited Time Period” in this pricing supplement.
Supplemental
Use of Proceeds
The notes are offered to meet investor demand for products
that reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the notes. See “Hypothetical Payout Profile” and
“How the Notes Work” in this pricing supplement for an illustration of the risk-return profile of the notes and “The
Indices” in this pricing supplement for a description of the market exposure provided by the notes.
The original issue price of the notes is equal to the
estimated value of the notes plus the selling commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, plus (minus)
the projected profits (losses) that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under
the notes, plus the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes.
Supplemental Plan
of Distribution
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 Pricing 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.

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

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.
