Structured Investments
Auto Callable Contingent Interest and Contingent Leveraged
Notes Linked to the S&P 500® Low Volatility High Dividend Index due October 26, 2026
Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
| · | The notes are designed for investors who seek a Contingent Interest Payment with respect to each Review Date for which the closing
level of the S&P 500® Low Volatility High Dividend Index, which we refer to as the Index, has been greater than or
equal to 90.00% of the Initial Value, which we refer to as the Trigger Value, on each day on or prior to that Review Date. Contingent
Interest Payments, if any, will be payable only during the first year of the term of the notes. |
| · | As early as the first day after the Pricing Date, investors in the notes could lose their ability to receive any Contingent Interest
Payments over the first year of the 4-year term of the notes. |
| · | The notes will be automatically called at the end of the first year of the term of the notes if the closing level of the Index on
each day on or prior to the final Review Date is greater than or equal to the Trigger Value. |
| · | If the notes are not automatically called, the payment at maturity will reflect (a) the sum of the return of the Index over the term
of the notes plus the Buffer Amount of 10.00% times (b) the Leverage Factor of 1.11111. This payment at maturity will be
less than the principal amount if the Final Value is less than the Trigger Value. |
| · | The date on which an automatic call may be initiated is October 24, 2023. |
| · | Investors should be willing to accept the risk of losing some or all of their principal and the risk that no Contingent Interest Payment
may be made with respect to some or all Review Dates. |
| · | Investors should also be willing to forgo fixed interest and dividend payments, in exchange for the opportunity to receive Contingent
Interest Payments or an enhanced payment at maturity. |
| · | Despite the name of the Index, the Index is a price return index, which means that the returns on the Index will not include any
dividends paid on the securities that make up the Index. |
| · | 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. |
| · | Minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof |
| · | The notes are expected to price on or about October 21, 2022 and are expected to settle on or about October 26, 2022. |
Investing in the notes involves a number of risks. See “Risk

Total Contingent Interest Payments
The table below illustrates the hypothetical total Contingent
Interest Payments per $1,000 principal amount note over the first year of the term of the notes based on a hypothetical Contingent Interest
Rate of 17.00% per annum, depending on how many Contingent Interest Payments are made prior to automatic call or maturity. The actual
Contingent Interest Rate will be provided in the pricing supplement and will be at least 17.00% per annum. Contingent Interest Payments,
if any, will be payable only during the first year of the term of the notes. If the closing level of the Index is less than the Trigger
Value on any day on or prior to a Review Date, no Contingent Interest Payment will be payable with respect to that Review Date or any
subsequent Review Date.

Hypothetical
Payout Examples
The following examples illustrate payments on the notes
linked to a hypothetical Index, assuming a range of performances for the hypothetical Index during the Monitoring Period and on the Observation
Date. The hypothetical payments set forth below assume the following:
| · | an Initial Value of 100.00; |
| · | a Trigger Value of 90.00 (equal to 90.00% of the hypothetical Initial Value); |
| · | a Buffer Amount of 10.00%; |
| · | a Leverage Factor of 1.11111; and |
| · | a Contingent Interest Rate of 17.00% per annum (payable at a rate of 1.41667% per month). |
The hypothetical Initial Value of 100.00 has been chosen
for illustrative purposes only and may not represent a likely actual Initial Value. The actual Initial Value will be the closing level
of the Index on the Pricing Date and will be provided in the pricing supplement. For historical data regarding the actual closing levels
of the Index, please see the historical information set forth under “The Index” in this pricing supplement.
Each hypothetical payment set forth below is for illustrative
purposes only and may not be the actual payment applicable to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following examples
have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Example 1 — Notes are automatically called
on the final Review Date because a Trigger Event has NOT occurred on or prior to the final Review Date.

|
Total Payment |
$1,170.00 (17.00% return) |
Because a Trigger Event has not occurred on or before
the final Review Date, the notes will be automatically called for a cash payment, for each $1,000 principal amount note, of $1,014.1667
(or $1,000 plus the Contingent Interest Payment applicable to the final Review Date), payable on the Call Settlement Date. When
added to the Contingent Interest Payments received with respect to the prior Review Dates, the total amount paid, for each $1,000 principal
amount note, is $1,170.00. No further payments will be made on the notes.
Example 2 — Notes have NOT been automatically
called, a Trigger Event has occurred on or prior to the first Review Date and the Final Value is greater than the Initial Value.

N/A |
$1,222.222 |
|
Total Payment |
$1,222.222 (22.2222% return) |
Because the notes have not been automatically called
(and, therefore, a Trigger Event has occurred) and the Index Return is 10.00%, the payment at maturity will be $1,222.222 per $1,000 principal
amount note, calculated as follows:
$1,000 + [$1,000 × (10.00% + 10.00%) ×
1.11111] = $1,222.222
In addition, because a Trigger Event occurred on
or prior to the first Review Date, you receive no Contingent Interest Payments during the first year of the term of the notes. Therefore,
the total amount paid, for each $1,000 principal amount note, is equal to $1,222.222.
Example 3 — Notes have NOT been automatically
called, a Trigger Event has occurred on or prior to the first Review Date and the Final Value is less than the Trigger Value.

Because the notes have not been automatically called
(and, therefore, a Trigger Event has occurred) and the Index Return is -50.00%, the payment at maturity will be $555.556 per $1,000 principal
amount note, calculated as follows:
$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-50.00% + 10.00%) ×
1.11111] = $555.556

|
In addition, because a Trigger Event occurred on
or prior to the first Review Date, you receive no Contingent Interest Payments during the first year of the term of the notes. Therefore,
the total amount paid, for each $1,000 principal amount note, is equal to only $588.2355.
Example 4 — Notes have NOT been automatically
called, a Trigger Event has occurred for the first time after the third Review Date and on or prior to the fourth Review Date and the
Final Value is greater than or equal to the Trigger Value.

N/A |
$1,055.5555 |
|
Total Payment |
$1,098.0555 (9.80555% return) |
Because the notes have not been automatically called
(and, therefore, a Trigger Event has occurred) and the Index Return is -5.00%, the payment at maturity will be $1,055.5555 per $1,000
principal amount note, calculated as follows:
$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-5.00% + 10.00%) ×
1.11111] = $1,055.5555
However, because a Trigger Event occurred for the first
time after the third Review Date and on or prior to the fourth Review Date, you receive no Contingent Interest Payments for the fourth
Review Date and for the remaining portion of the first year of the term of the notes. When added to the Contingent Interest Payments received
with respect to the prior Review Dates, the total amount paid, for each $1,000 principal amount note, is $1,098.0555.
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.
Risks Relating to the Notes Generally
| · | YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS — |
The notes do not guarantee any return of principal.
If (i) the notes have not been automatically called (and, therefore, a Trigger Event has occurred) and (ii) the Final Value is less than
the Trigger Value, you will lose 1.11111% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Final Value is less than the Initial
Value by more than 10.00%. Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose some or all of your principal amount at maturity.
| · | THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE CONTINGENT INTEREST PAYMENTS MAY TERMINATE AS EARLY AS THE FIRST DAY AFTER THE PRICING DATE —
|
As early as the first day
after the Pricing Date, you could lose your ability to receive any Contingent Interest Payments over the first year of the 4-year term
of the notes. Under these circumstances, if the notes have not been automatically called, the payment at maturity will reflect (a) the
sum of the Index Return plus the Buffer Amount of 10.00% times (b) the Leverage Factor of 1.11111. This payment at maturity
will be less than the principal amount if the Final Value is less than the Trigger Value.
| · | THE NOTES DO NOT GUARANTEE THE PAYMENT OF INTEREST AND MAY NOT PAY ANY INTEREST AT ALL — |
Contingent Interest Payments, if any, will
be payable only during the first year of the term of the notes. We will make a Contingent Interest Payment with respect to a Review
Date only if a Trigger Event has not occurred on or prior to that Review Date. If a Trigger Event has occurred on or prior to a Review
Date, no Contingent Interest Payment will be made with respect to
PS-5
| Structured Investments
Auto Callable Contingent Interest and Contingent Leveraged Notes
Linked to the S&P 500® Low Volatility High Dividend Index |
|
that Review Date or any subsequent Review Date. Under these circumstances,
no further Contingent Interest payments will be payable over the remaining portion of the term of the notes.
| · | 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 NO TRIGGER EVENT OCCURS, THE NOTES WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CALLED, AND THE APPRECIATION POTENTIAL OF THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO THE
SUM OF THE CONTINGENT INTEREST PAYMENTS PAID OVER THE FIRST YEAR OF THE TERM OF THE NOTES, |
regardless of any appreciation of the Index,
which may be significant. Under these circumstances, you will not participate in any appreciation of the Index.
| · | YOUR ABILITY TO BENEFIT FROM THE ENHANCED PAYMENT OFFERED BY THE BUFFER AMOUNT AND THE LEVERAGE FACTOR (IF THE FINAL VALUE IS GREATER
THAN THE TRIGGER VALUE) AT MATURITY WILL TERMINATE IF NO TRIGGER EVENT OCCURS AND THE NOTES ARE AUTOMATICALLY CALLED. |
| · | 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 and/or with a comparable interest rate 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.
| · | YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE DIVIDENDS ON THE SECURITIES INCLUDED IN THE INDEX OR HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THOSE SECURITIES. |
| · | THE RISK OF THE CLOSING LEVEL OF THE INDEX FALLING BELOW THE TRIGGER VALUE IS GREATER IF THE LEVEL OF THE INDEX IS VOLATILE. |
The notes will not be listed on any securities
exchange. Accordingly, the price at which you may be able to trade your notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which J.P.
Morgan Securities LLC, which we refer to as JPMS, is willing to buy the notes. You may not be able to sell your notes. The notes are not
designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity.
| · | THE FINAL TERMS AND VALUATION OF THE NOTES WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE PRICING SUPPLEMENT — |
You should consider your potential investment
in the notes based on the minimums for the estimated value of the notes and the Contingent Interest Rate.
Risks Relating to Conflicts
of Interest
We and our affiliates play a variety of roles
in connection with the notes. In performing these duties, our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s economic interests are potentially
adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes. It is possible that hedging or trading activities of ours or our affiliates in
connection with the notes could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the notes declines. Please refer
to “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest” in the accompanying product supplement.

|
Risks Relating to the
Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes
| · | THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES WILL BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE (PRICE TO PUBLIC) OF THE NOTES — |
The estimated value of the notes is only an
estimate determined by reference to several factors. The original issue price of the notes will exceed the estimated value of the notes
because costs associated with 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.
| · | 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 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
projected hedging profits, if any, estimated hedging costs and the level of the Index. Additionally, independent pricing vendors and/or
third party broker-dealers may publish a price for the notes, which may also be reflected on customer account statements. This price may
be different (higher or lower) than the price of the notes, if any, at which JPMS may be willing to purchase your notes in the secondary
market. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — Secondary
market prices of the notes will be impacted by many economic and market factors” in the accompanying product supplement.

|
Risks Relating to
the Index
| · | JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. IS CURRENTLY ONE OF THE COMPANIES THAT MAKE UP THE S&P 500® INDEX AND MAY BE INCLUDED
IN THE 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 Index.
| · | THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT STRATEGIES EMPLOYED BY THE INDEX WILL BE SUCCESSFUL — |
The Index is designed to measure the performance
of the 50 least-volatile among the 75 highest dividend-yielding companies in the S&P 500® Index, subject to sector
and individual constituent concentration limits. There is, however, no assurance that the Index will exhibit low volatility or provide
higher risk-weighted returns than the S&P 500® Index or any other index or strategy. Although the Index measures the
performance of high dividend-yielding companies, the Index is a price return index and, therefore, the return on the Index will not include
any dividends paid on the securities that make up the Index. In addition, the Index is constructed pursuant to a weighting methodology
in which the weights of components reflect their dividend yields. It is possible that the stock selection and weighting methodology of
the Index will adversely affect its return (for example, by providing exposure to stocks that do not perform as well as other stocks with
higher volatility or with lower dividend yields) and, consequently, the closing level of the Index and the value of the notes. The Index
may also underperform the S&P 500® Index as a whole.
| · | THE INDEX IS SUBJECT TO CONCENTRATION RISK — |
The Index is designed to measure the performance
of the 50 least-volatile among the 75 highest dividend-yielding companies in the S&P 500® Index, subject to sector
and individual constituent concentration limits. Because volatility and dividend yield vary by industry and sector, the Index may
be concentrated to a significant degree in securities of issuers located in a single industry or sector or a small number of industries
or sectors. By concentrating its investments in an industry or sector, the Index may face more risks than if it were diversified
broadly over numerous industries or sectors. Accordingly, the Index may be more adversely affected by negative economic, political
or regulatory occurrences affecting its constituents and the relevant industries and sectors than a more broadly diversified stock index.
| · | DESPITE THE NAME OF THE INDEX, THE INDEX IS A PRICE RETURN INDEX, WHICH MEANS THAT THE RETURN ON THE INDEX WILL NOT INCLUDE ANY
DIVIDENDS PAID ON THE SECURITIES THAT MAKE UP THE INDEX. |

The Index
The Index is designed to measure the performance of the 50
least-volatile among the 75 highest dividend-yielding companies in the S&P 500® Index, subject to sector and individual
constituent concentration limits. Although the Index measures the performance of high dividend-yielding companies, the Index is a “price
return index” and, therefore, the return on the Index will not include any dividends paid on the securities that make up the Index.
For additional information about the Index, see “Equity Index Descriptions — The S&P 500® Low Volatility
High Dividend Index” in the accompanying underlying supplement.
Historical Information
The following graph sets forth the historical performance
of the Index based on the weekly historical closing levels of the Index from January 6, 2017 through September 30, 2022. The closing level
of the Index on October 3, 2022 was 6,650.99. We obtained the closing levels above and below from the Bloomberg Professional®
service (“Bloomberg”), without independent verification.
The historical closing levels of the Index should
not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the closing level of the Index on the Pricing
Date, any day during the Monitoring Period or the Observation Date. There can be no assurance that the performance of the Index will result
in the return of any of your principal amount or the payment of any interest.
Tax Treatment
You should review carefully the section entitled
“Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 4-II. In determining our reporting
responsibilities we intend to treat (i) the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent
coupons and (ii) any Contingent Interest Payments as ordinary income, as described in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal
Income Tax Consequences — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Notes Treated as Prepaid Forward Contracts with Associated Contingent
Coupons” in the accompanying product supplement. Based on the advice of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, our special tax counsel,
we believe that this is a reasonable treatment, but that there are other reasonable treatments that the IRS or a court may adopt, in which
case the timing and character of any income or loss on the notes could be materially affected. For example, it is possible that a Trigger
Event would result in a deemed exchange of the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In that case, a U.S. Holder might be required
to recognize gain or loss (subject to the possible application of the wash sale rules) with respect to the notes. Assuming our treatment
is respected, the gain or loss on your notes should be treated as short-term capital gain or loss unless you hold your notes for more
than a year, in which case the gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of notes
at the issue price.
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 and the relevance
of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked. 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 affect the tax consequences of an investment in the notes, possibly with retroactive effect.

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 the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including possible alternative
treatments and the issues presented by the notice described above.
Non-U.S. Holders — Tax Considerations.
The U.S. federal income tax treatment of Contingent Interest Payments is uncertain, and although we believe it is reasonable to take a
position that Contingent Interest Payments are not subject to U.S. withholding tax (at least if an applicable Form W-8 is provided), we
intend to withhold on any Contingent Interest Payments paid to a Non-U.S. Holder generally at a rate of 30% or at a reduced rate specified
by an applicable income tax treaty under an “other income” or similar provision. We will not be required to pay any additional
amounts with respect to amounts withheld. In order to claim an exemption from, or a reduction in, the 30% withholding tax, a Non-U.S.
Holder of the notes must comply with certification requirements to establish that it is not a U.S. person and is eligible for such an
exemption or reduction under an applicable tax treaty. If you are a Non- U.S. Holder, you should consult your tax adviser regarding the
tax treatment of the notes, including the possibility of obtaining a refund of any withholding tax and the certification requirement described
above.
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, 2025 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.
In the event of any
withholding on the notes, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so withheld.
The Estimated Value of the Notes
The estimated value of the notes set forth on the
cover of this pricing supplement is equal to the sum of the values of the following hypothetical components: (1) a fixed-income debt component
with the same maturity as the notes, valued using the internal funding rate described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying
the economic terms of the notes. The estimated value of the notes does not represent a minimum price at which JPMS would be willing to
buy your notes in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated
value of the notes may differ from the market-implied funding rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar maturity issued by
JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference may be based on, among other things, our and our affiliates’ view of
the funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the notes in comparison
to those costs for the conventional fixed income instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal funding rate is based on certain
market inputs and assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the prevailing market replacement funding
rate for the notes. The use of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms
of the notes and any secondary market prices of the notes. For additional information, see “Selected Risk Considerations —
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes —The Estimated Value of the Notes Is Derived by Reference
to an Internal Funding Rate” in this pricing supplement.
The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying
the economic terms of the notes is derived from internal pricing models of our affiliates. These models are dependent on inputs such as
the traded market prices of comparable derivative instruments and on various other inputs, some of which are market-observable, and which
can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors, as well as assumptions about future market events and/or environments.
Accordingly, the estimated value of the notes is determined when the terms of the notes are set based on market conditions and other relevant
factors and assumptions existing at that time.
The estimated value of the notes does not represent
future values of the notes and may differ from others’ estimates. Different pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations
for the notes that are greater than or less than the estimated value of the notes. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors
in the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to be incorrect. On future dates, the value of the notes could change significantly
based on, among other things, changes in market conditions, our or

|
JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness, interest rate
movements and other relevant factors, which may impact the price, if any, at which JPMS would be willing to buy notes from you in secondary
market transactions.
The estimated value of the notes will be lower than
the original issue price of the notes because costs associated with 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. A portion of the profits, if any, realized in hedging our obligations under the notes may be allowed
to other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, and we or one or more of our affiliates will retain any remaining hedging profits. See “Selected
Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Estimated Value
of the Notes Will Be Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to Public) of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
Secondary
Market Prices of the Notes
For information about factors that will impact any
secondary market prices of the notes, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices
of the Notes — Secondary market prices of the notes will be impacted by many economic and market factors” in the accompanying
product supplement. In addition, we generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the notes will be
partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial
predetermined period. These costs can include projected hedging profits, if any, and, in some circumstances, estimated hedging costs and
our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances. This initial predetermined time period is intended to be the
shorter of six months and one-half of the stated term of the notes. The length of any such initial period reflects the structure of the
notes, whether our affiliates expect to earn a profit in connection with our hedging activities, the estimated costs of hedging the notes
and when these costs are incurred, as determined by our affiliates. See “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to
the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes —The Value of the Notes as Published by JPMS (and Which May Be Reflected
on Customer Account Statements) May Be Higher Than the Then-Current Estimated Value of the Notes for a Limited Time Period” in this
pricing supplement.
Supplemental
Use of Proceeds
The notes are offered to meet investor demand for products
that reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the notes. See “How the Notes Work” and “Hypothetical
Payout Examples” in this pricing supplement for an illustration of the risk-return profile of the notes and “The Index”
in this pricing supplement for a description of the market exposure provided by the notes.
The original issue price of the notes is equal to the
estimated value of the notes plus (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.
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.
Additional
Terms Specific to the Notes
You may revoke your offer to purchase the notes at
any time prior to the time at which we accept such offer by notifying the applicable agent. We reserve the right to change the terms of,
or reject any offer to purchase, the notes prior to their issuance. In the event of any changes to the terms of the notes, we will notify
you and you will be asked to accept such changes in connection with your purchase. You may also choose to reject such changes, in which
case we may reject your offer to purchase.
