Review Notes Linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index | |
Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable upon
Automatic Call or at Maturity
The following table illustrates the hypothetical simple total
return (i.e., not compounded) on the notes that could be realized on the applicable Review Date for a range of movements
in the Index as shown under the column “Index Level Appreciation/Depreciation at Review Date.” The following table
assumes a hypothetical Initial Index Level of 3,500 and a hypothetical Call Level of 3,500 (equal to 100% of the hypothetical Initial
Index Level) on each of the Review Dates. The table assumes that the call premiums used to calculate the call premium amount applicable
to the first, second, third and final Review Dates are 3.2125%, 6.4250%, 9.6375% and 12.8500%, respectively, regardless of the
appreciation of the Index, which may be significant. The actual call premiums will be provided in the pricing supplement and will
not be less than 3.2125%, 6.4250%, 9.6375% and 12.8500%, respectively. There will be only one payment on the notes whether called
or at maturity. An entry of “N/A” indicates that the notes would not be called on the applicable Review Date and no
payment would be made on the applicable Call Settlement Date. The hypothetical returns set forth below are for illustrative purposes
only and may not be the actual total returns applicable to a purchaser of the notes.

The following examples illustrate how the payment upon an automatic
call or at maturity in different hypothetical scenarios is calculated.
Example 1: The level of the Index increases from the Initial
Index Level of 3,500 to a closing level of 3,850 on the first Review Date. Because the closing level of the Index on the first
Review Date of 3,850 is greater than the corresponding Call Level of 3,500, the notes are automatically called, and the investor
receives a single payment of $1,032.125 per $1,000 principal amount note on the first Call Settlement Date.
Example 2: The level of the Index decreases from the Initial
Index Level of 3,500 to a closing level of 1,750 on the first Review Date, 2,100 on the second Review Date and 2,450 on the third
Review Date and to an Ending Index Level of 2,800. Because (a) the closing level of the Index on each of the Review Dates prior
to the final Review Date (1,750, and 2,100, and 2,450) is less than the corresponding Call Level of 3,500 and (b) the Ending Index
Level of 2,800 is less than the Initial Index Level of 3,500 by up to the Contingent Buffer Amount of 20%, the notes are not automatically
called and the payment at maturity is the principal amount of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.
Example 3: The level of the Index decreases from the Initial
Index Level of 3,500 to a closing level of 3,150 on the first Review Date, 2,800 on the second Review Date, and 2,450 on the third
Review Date and to an Ending Index Level of 2,100. Because (a) the closing level of the Index on each of the Review Dates prior
to the final Review Date (3,150, 2,800 and 2,450) is less than the corresponding Call Level of 3,500 (b) the Ending Index Level
of 2,100 is less than the Initial Index Level by more than the Contingent Buffer Amount of 20% and (c) the Index Return is -40%,
the notes are not automatically called and the investor receives a payment at maturity that is less than the principal amount for
each $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × -40%) = $600
The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the notes
shown above apply only if you hold the notes for their entire term. 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.

Selected Purchase Considerations
| · | APPRECIATION POTENTIAL — If, (a) with respect to any Review
Date (other than the final Review Date), the closing level of the Index is greater than or equal to the Call Level on that Review
Date or, (b) with respect to the final Review Date, the Ending Index Level is greater than or equal to the Call Level, your investment
will yield a payment per $1,000 principal amount note of $1,000 plus: (i) at least 3.2125%* × $1,000 if automatically
called on the first Review Date, (ii) at least 6.4250%* × $1,000 if automatically called on the second Review Date, (iii)
at least 9.6375%* × $1,000 if automatically called on the third Review Date or (iv) at least 12.8500%* × $1,000 if
automatically called on the final Review Date. Because the notes are our unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, payment of
any amount on the notes is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due. |
*The actual call premiums applicable
to the first, second, third and final Review Dates will be provided in the pricing supplement and will not be less than 3.2125%,
6.4250%, 9.6375% and 12.8500%, respectively.
| · | Potential Early Exit With Appreciation
As a Result of Automatic Call Feature — While the original
term of the notes is just over one year, the notes will be automatically called before maturity if, (i) with respect to any Review
Date (other than the final Review Date), the closing level of the Index on that Review Date is at or above the Call Level or, (ii)
with respect to the final Review Date, the Ending Index Level is at or above the Call Level. You will be entitled to the applicable
payment corresponding to that Review Date as set forth on the cover of this term sheet. |
| · | LIMITED PROTECTION AGAINST LOSS — If the notes are not
automatically called and the Ending Index Level is less than the Initial Index Level by up to the Contingent Buffer Amount of 20%,
you will be entitled to the full repayment of your principal at maturity. If the Ending Index Level is less than the Initial Index
Level by more than the Contingent Buffer, for every 1% that the Ending Index Level is less than the Initial Index Level, you will
lose an amount equal to 1% of the principal amount of your notes. Under these circumstances, you will lose more than 20% of your
principal amount at maturity and may lose all of your principal amount at maturity. |
| · | RETURN LINKED TO THE EURO STOXX 50® INDEX —
The return on the notes is linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index. The EURO STOXX 50® Index consists
of 50 component stocks of market sector leaders from within the Eurozone. The EURO STOXX 50® Index and STOXX®
are the intellectual property (including registered trademarks) of STOXX Limited, Zurich, Switzerland and/or its licensors (the
“Licensors”), which are used under license. The notes based on the EURO STOXX 50® Index are in no way
sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by STOXX Limited and its Licensors and neither STOXX Limited nor any of its Licensors shall
have any liability with respect thereto. For additional information about the EURO STOXX 50® Index, see the information
set forth under “Equity Index Descriptions — The EURO STOXX 50® Index” in the accompanying underlying
supplement no. 1a-I. |
| · | CAPITAL GAINS TAX TREATMENT — You should review carefully the section entitled
“Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 4a-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 no. 4a-I. Assuming this 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. 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.
Withholding under legislation commonly referred to
as “FATCA” may apply to amounts treated as interest paid with respect to the notes, if they are recharacterized as
debt instruments. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of FATCA to the notes.

Selected Risk Considerations
An investment in the notes involves significant risks. Investing
in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Index or any of the equity securities included in the Index. These
risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement no. 4a-I and
the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying underlying supplement 1a-I.
| · | YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS — The
notes do not guarantee any return of principal. If the notes are not automatically called, the return on the notes at maturity
is linked to the performance of the Index and will depend on whether, and the extent to which, the Index Return is positive or
negative. If the Ending Index Level is less than the Initial Index Level by more than the Contingent Buffer Amount of 20%, the
benefit provided by the Contingent Buffer Amount will terminate and for every 1% that the Ending Index Level is less than the Initial
Index Level, you will lose an amount equal to 1% of the principal amount of your notes. Under these circumstances, you will lose
more than 20% of your principal amount at maturity and may lose all of your principal amount at maturity. |
| · | CREDIT RISK OF JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. — The notes are
subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and our credit ratings and credit spreads may adversely affect the market
value of the notes. Investors are dependent on JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s ability to pay all amounts due on the notes. Any
actual or potential change in our creditworthiness or credit spreads, as determined by the market for taking our credit risk, is
likely to adversely affect the value of the notes. If we 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. |
| · | 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 as an agent of the offering of
the notes, 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 JPMS’s estimated value. In performing
these duties, our 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 business activities, including hedging and trading activities,
could cause our 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 no. 4a-I for additional information about
these risks. |
| · | LIMITED RETURN ON THE NOTES — Your potential gain on the
notes will be limited to the call premium applicable to the Review Dates, as set forth on the cover of this term sheet, regardless
of the appreciation in the Index, which may be significant. Because the closing level of the Index at various times during the
term of the notes could be higher than on the Review Dates, you may receive a lower payment if automatically called or at maturity,
as the case may be, than you would have if you had invested directly in the Index. |
| · | REINVESTMENT RISK — If your notes are automatically called
early, the term of the notes may be reduced to as short as approximately three months. 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 in the event the
notes are automatically called prior to the Maturity Date. |
| · | THE BENEFIT
PROVIDED BY THE CONTINGENT BUFFER AMOUNT MAY TERMINATE ON THE FINAL ENDING AVERAGING DATE — If the notes are not automatically
called and the Ending Index Level is less than the Initial Index Level by more than the Contingent Buffer Amount, the benefit provided
by the Contingent Buffer Amount will terminate and you will be fully exposed to any depreciation in the Index. |
| · | JPMS’S ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES WILL BE LOWER THAN THE
ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE (PRICE TO PUBLIC) OF THE NOTES — JPMS’s estimated value is only an estimate using several
factors. The original issue price of the notes will exceed JPMS’s estimated value 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 “JPMS’s Estimated Value of the Notes”
in this term sheet. |
| · | JPMS’S ESTIMATED VALUE DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE VALUES OF
THE NOTES AND MAY DIFFER FROM OTHERS’ ESTIMATES — JPMS’s estimated value of the notes is determined by reference
to JPMS’s internal pricing models when the terms of the notes are set. This estimated value is based on market conditions
and other relevant factors existing at that time and JPMS’s assumptions about market parameters, which can include volatility,
dividend rates, interest rates and other factors. Different pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations for notes that
are greater than or less than JPMS’s estimated value. 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 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
“JPMS’s Estimated Value of the Notes” in this term sheet. |
| · | JPMS’S ESTIMATED VALUE IS NOT DETERMINED BY REFERENCE TO CREDIT
SPREADS FOR OUR CONVENTIONAL FIXED-RATE DEBT — The internal funding rate used in the determination of JPMS’s estimated
value generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. The discount is based on, among
other things, our 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 our conventional fixed-rate debt. If JPMS were to use the interest rate implied
by our conventional fixed-rate credit spreads, we would expect the economic terms of the notes to be more favorable to you. Consequently,
our use of an internal funding rate would |
JPMorgan Structured Investments — | TS-4 |
Review Notes Linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index | |
| | have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any secondary market prices of the
notes. See “JPMS’s Estimated Value of the Notes” in this term sheet. |
| · | THE VALUE OF THE NOTES AS PUBLISHED BY JPMS (AND WHICH MAY BE REFLECTED
ON CUSTOMER ACCOUNT STATEMENTS) MAY BE HIGHER THAN JPMS’S 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
secondary market credit spreads for structured debt issuances. See “Secondary Market Prices of the Notes” in this term
sheet 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
secondary market credit spreads for structured debt issuances and, also, because secondary market prices (a) exclude selling commissions
and (b) may exclude projected hedging profits, if any, and estimated hedging costs that are included in the original issue price
of the notes. As a result, the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy notes from you in secondary market transactions,
if at all, is likely to be lower than the original issue price. Any sale by you prior to the Maturity Date could result in a substantial
loss to you. See the immediately following risk consideration 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 “—
Lack of Liquidity” below.
| · | SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL BE IMPACTED BY MANY ECONOMIC
AND MARKET FACTORS — The secondary market price of the notes during their term will be impacted by a number of economic
and market factors, which may either offset or magnify each other, aside from the selling commissions, projected hedging profits,
if any, estimated hedging costs and the level of the Index , including: |
| · | any
actual or potential change in our creditworthiness or credit spreads; |
| · | customary
bid-ask spreads for similarly sized trades; |
| · | secondary
market credit spreads for structured debt issuances; |
| · | the
actual and expected volatility of the Index; |
| · | the
time to maturity of the notes; |
| · | the
likelihood of an automatic call being triggered; |
| · | the
dividend rates on the equity securities included in the Index; |
| · | interest
and yield rates in the market generally; |
| · | 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 Index trade and the correlation among those rates and the levels of the Index; and |
| · | 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.
| · | NO INTEREST OR DIVIDEND PAYMENTS OR VOTING RIGHTS — As
a holder of the notes, you will not receive interest payments, and you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends
or other distributions or other rights that holders of securities composing the Index would have. |
| · | VOLATILITY RISK — Greater
expected volatility with respect to the Index indicates a greater likelihood as of the Pricing Date that the Ending Index Level
could be below its Call Level or below its Initial Index Level by more than the Contingent Buffer Amount. The Index’s volatility,
however, can change significantly over the term of the notes. The closing level of the Index could fall sharply between the Pricing
Date and the final Review Date, which could result in a significant loss of principal. |
| · | NON-U.S. SECURITIES RISK —
The equity securities included in the EURO STOXX 50® Index 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 there is about U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements
of the SEC. |
| · | NO DIRECT EXPOSURE TO FLUCTUATIONS
IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES —
The value of your 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 |
JPMorgan Structured Investments — | TS-5 |
Review Notes Linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index | |
| | incur any reduction in any payment
on the notes. |
| · | 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. |
| · | THE FINAL TERMS AND VALUATION OF
THE NOTES WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE PRICING SUPPLEMENT — The final terms of the notes will be based on relevant market
conditions when the terms of the notes are set and will be provided in the pricing supplement. In particular, each of JPMS’s
estimated value and the call premium will be provided in the pricing supplement and each may be as low as the applicable minimum
set forth on the cover of this term sheet. Accordingly, you should consider your potential investment in the notes based on the
minimums for JPMS’s estimated value and the call premium. |

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 8, 2010 through July 3, 2015. The closing level
of the Index on July 6, 2015 was 3,365.20. We obtained the closing levels of the Index 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
or any Review Date or Ending Averaging Date. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of the Index will result in the
return of any of your principal amount.
JPMS’s Estimated Value of
the Notes
JPMS’s estimated value of the notes set forth
on the cover of this term sheet 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 our internal funding rate for structured debt described below,
and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes. JPMS’s estimated value 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 JPMS’s estimated value generally represents a discount from the credit spreads
for our conventional fixed-rate debt. For additional information, see “Selected Risk Considerations — JPMS’s
Estimated Value Is Not Determined by Reference to Credit Spreads for Our Conventional Fixed-Rate Debt.” The value of the
derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes is derived from JPMS’s internal pricing models. 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, JPMS’s 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 “Selected Risk Considerations — JPMS’s Estimated Value Does Not Represent Future Values of the Notes and
May Differ from Others’ Estimates.”
JPMS’s estimated value of the notes will be
lower than the original issue price of the notes because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the notes are included
in the original issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated
dealers, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations
under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. Because hedging our obligations entails risk
and may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected,
or it may result in a loss. We or one or more of our affiliates will retain any profits realized in hedging our obligations under
the notes. See “Selected Risk Considerations — JPMS’s Estimated Value of the Notes Will Be Lower Than the Original
Issue Price (Price to Public) of the Notes” in this term sheet.
Secondary Market Prices of the
Notes
For information about factors that will impact any
secondary market prices of the notes, see “Selected Risk Considerations — Secondary Market Prices of the Notes Will
Be Impacted by Many Economic and Market Factors” in this term sheet. 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 the shorter of
six months and one-half of the
JPMorgan Structured Investments — | TS-7 |
Review Notes Linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index | |
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 JPMS. 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 JPMS’s Then-Current Estimated
Value of the Notes for a Limited Time Period.”
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 of Amounts
Payable upon Automatic Call or at Maturity” in this term sheet for an illustration of the risk-return profile of the notes
and “Selected Purchase Considerations — Return Linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index” in this term
sheet for a description of the market exposure provided by the notes.
The original issue price of the notes is equal to
JPMS’s 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.
