by a lesser decline or any potential increase in the levels of the other Underlyings.
♦
You accept that you may not receive a Contingent Coupon on some or all of the Coupon Payment Dates.

If the closing level of each Underlying is equal to or greater than
its Coupon Barrier on each day during a Quarterly Observation Period, we will pay you the Contingent Coupon for that Quarterly
Observation Period on the relevant Coupon Payment Date.
If the closing level of any Underlying is less than its Coupon Barrier
on any day during a Quarterly Observation Period, the Contingent Coupon for that Quarterly Observation Period will not accrue or
be payable, and we will not make any payment to you on the relevant Coupon Payment Date.
Each Contingent Coupon will be a fixed amount based on equal
quarterly installments at the Contingent Coupon Rate, which is a per annum rate.
Contingent Coupon payments on the Notes are
not guaranteed. We will not pay you the Contingent Coupon for any Quarterly Observation Period in which the closing level of any
Underlying on any day during that Quarterly Observation Period is less than its Coupon Barrier.

Quarterly
(callable by JPMorgan Financial
at its election after an initial one-year non-call period):
|
|
If the closing level of each Underlying is equal to or greater
than its Coupon Barrier on each day during a Quarterly Observation Period, JPMorgan Financial will pay you a Contingent Coupon
on the related Coupon Payment Date.
JPMorgan Financial may, at its election and upon written notice
to DTC, call the Notes on any Quarterly Observation End Date (after an initial one-year non-call period and other than the Final
Valuation Date), regardless of the closing level of any Underlying on that Quarterly Observation End Date. If JPMorgan Financial
elects to call the Notes, JPMorgan Financial will pay you a cash payment per Note equal to the principal amount
plus
any
Contingent Coupon otherwise due for the applicable Quarterly Observation Period, and no further payments will be made on the Notes.
|
|
|
Maturity Date
|
|
The Final Value of each
Underlying is determined as of the Final Valuation Date.
If JPMorgan Financial does
not elect to call the Notes, the Final Value of each Underlying is equal to or greater than its Downside Threshold, at maturity
JPMorgan Financial will repay the principal amount equal to $10.00 per Note
plus
any Contingent Coupon otherwise due on
the Maturity Date.
If JPMorgan Financial does
not elect to call the Notes and the Final Value of any Underlying is less than its Downside Threshold, JPMorgan Financial will
repay less than the principal amount, if anything, at maturity, resulting in a loss on your principal amount proportionate to the
decline of the Least Performing Underlying, equal to a return of:
$10 × (1 + Least Performing Underlying
Return) per Note

INVESTING IN THE NOTES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISKS. YOU MAY LOSE SOME OR ALL OF YOUR PRINCIPAL AMOUNT AT MATURITY. YOU MAY RECEIVE FEW OR NO QUARTERLY CONTINGENT COUPONS DURING THE TERM OF THE NOTES. YOU WILL BE EXPOSED TO THE MARKET RISK OF EACH UNDERLYING ON EACH DAY OF THE QUARTERLY OBSERVATION PERIODS AND ON THE FINAL VALUATION DATE AND ANY DECLINE IN THE LEVEL OF ONE UNDERLYING MAY NEGATIVELY AFFECT YOUR RETURN AND WILL NOT BE OFFSET OR MITIGATED BY A LESSER DECLINE OR ANY POTENTIAL INCREASE IN THE LEVELS OF THE OTHER UNDERLYINGS. ANY PAYMENT ON THE NOTES, INCLUDING ANY REPAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, IS SUBJECT TO THE CREDITWORTHINESS OF JPMORGAN FINANCIAL AND JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. IF JPMORGAN FINANCIAL AND JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. WERE TO DEFAULT ON THEIR PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS, YOU MAY NOT RECEIVE ANY AMOUNTS OWED TO YOU UNDER THE NOTES AND YOU COULD LOSE YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.

*The Notes are not callable at JPMorgan Financial’s election until
the fourth Quarterly Observation End Date, August 21, 2017.
**The
Notes are not callable at JPMorgan
Financial’s election on the Final Valuation Date. Thus, the Maturity Date is not a Call Settlement Date.
Each of the Quarterly Observation End Dates, and therefore the Coupon
Payment Dates, is subject to postponement in the event of a market disruption event and as described under “General Terms
of Notes — Postponement of a Determination Date — Notes Linked to Multiple Underlyings” and “General Terms
of Notes — Postponement of a Payment Date” in the accompanying product supplement.
What
Are the Tax Consequences of the Notes?
You should review carefully the section entitled “Material
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. UBS-1-I. 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 Coupons 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.
Sale, Exchange or Redemption of a Note.
Assuming the treatment
described above is respected, upon a sale or exchange of the Notes (including upon early redemption or redemption at maturity),
you should recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or exchange and your
tax basis in the Notes, which should equal the amount you paid to acquire the Notes (assuming Contingent Coupons are properly treated
as ordinary income, consistent with the position referred to above). This gain or loss should be short-term capital gain or loss
unless you hold the Notes for more than one 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 the Notes at the issue price. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
If you sell your Notes between the time your right to a Contingent Coupon is fixed and the time it is paid, it is likely that you
will be treated as receiving ordinary income equal to the Contingent Coupon. Although uncertain, it is possible that proceeds received
from the sale or exchange of your Notes prior to a Quarterly Observation End Date but that can be attributed to an expected Contingent
Coupon payment could be treated as ordinary income. You should consult your tax adviser regarding this issue.
As described above, 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.
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 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. 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.
Non-U.S. Holders — Tax Considerations
. The U.S. federal
income tax treatment of Contingent Coupons is uncertain, and although we believe it is reasonable to take a position that Contingent
Coupons are not subject to U.S. withholding tax (at least if an applicable Form W-8 is provided), a withholding agent may nonetheless
withhold on these payments (generally at a rate of 30%, subject to the possible reduction of that rate under an applicable income
tax treaty), unless income from your Notes is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States
(and, if an applicable treaty so requires, attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States). If you are not a United
States person, you are urged to consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in
the Notes in light of your particular circumstances.
Non-U.S. holders should also note that recently promulgated Treasury
regulations imposing a withholding tax on certain “dividend equivalents” under certain “equity linked instruments”
will not apply to the Notes.
FATCA
. Withholding under legislation commonly referred to
as “FATCA” could apply to payments with respect to the Notes that are treated as U.S.-source “fixed or determinable
annual or periodical” income (“FDAP Income”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (such as interest, if the Notes
are recharacterized, in whole or in part, as debt instruments, or Contingent Coupons if they are otherwise treated as FDAP Income).
If the Notes are recharacterized, in whole or in part, as debt instruments, withholding could also apply to payments of gross proceeds
of a taxable disposition, including an early redemption or redemption at maturity. However, under a recent IRS notice, this regime
will not apply to payments of gross proceeds (other than any amount treated as FDAP Income) with respect to dispositions occurring
before January 1, 2019. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of FATCA 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.
Key Risks
An investment in the Notes involves significant risks. Investing
in the Notes is not equivalent to investing directly in any or all of the Underlyings. These risks are explained in more detail
in the “Risk Factors” sections of the accompanying product supplement and the accompanying underlying supplement. We
also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers before you invest in the Notes.
Risks Relating to the Notes Generally
|
♦
|
Your Investment in the Notes May Result in a Loss
— The Notes differ from ordinary debt securities in that JPMorgan
Financial will not necessarily repay the full principal amount of the Notes. If JPMorgan Financial does not elect to call the Notes
and the closing level of any Underlying has declined below its Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date, you will be fully
exposed to any depreciation of the Least Performing Underlying from its Initial Value to its Final Value. In this case, JPMorgan
Financial will repay less than the full principal amount at maturity, resulting in a loss of principal that is proportionate to
the negative Underlying Return of the Least Performing Underlying. Under these circumstances, you will lose 1% of your principal
for every 1% that the Final Value of the Least Performing Underlying is less than its Initial Value and could lose your entire
principal amount. As a result, your investment in the Notes may not perform as well as an investment in a security that does not
have the potential for full downside exposure to any Underlying.
|
|
♦
|
Credit Risks of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co.
— The Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated debt
obligations of the Issuer, JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, the payment on which is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by
JPMorgan Chase & Co. The Notes will rank
pari passu
with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations,
and the related guarantee JPMorgan Chase & Co. will rank
pari passu
with all of JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s other
unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. The Notes and related guarantees are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation
of any third party. Any payment to be made on the Notes, including any repayment of principal, depends on the ability of JPMorgan
Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. to satisfy their obligations as they come due. As a result, the actual and perceived creditworthiness
of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. may affect the market value of the Notes and, in the event JPMorgan Financial
and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were to default on their obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms
of the Notes and you could lose your entire investment.
|
|
♦
|
As a Finance Subsidiary, JPMorgan Financial Has No Independent Operations and Limited Assets —
As a finance subsidiary
of JPMorgan Chase & Co., we have no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of our securities. Aside
from the initial capital contribution from JPMorgan Chase & Co., substantially all of our assets relate to obligations of our
affiliates to make payments under loans made by us or other intercompany agreements. As a result, we are dependent upon payments
from our affiliates to meet our obligations under the Notes. If these affiliates do not make payments to us and we fail to make
payments on the Notes, you may have to seek payment under the related guarantee by JPMorgan Chase & Co., and that guarantee
will rank
pari passu
with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co.
|
|
♦
|
You Are Not Guaranteed Any Contingent Coupons
— We will not necessarily make periodic coupon payments on the Notes.
If the closing level of any Underlying is less than its Coupon Barrier on any day during a Quarterly Observation Period, we will
not pay you the Contingent Coupon for that Quarterly Observation Period and the Contingent Coupon that would otherwise be payable
will not be accrued and will be lost. This will be the case even if the closing levels of the other Underlyings are greater than
or equal to their respective Coupon Barriers on each day during that Quarterly Observation Period, and even if the closing level
of that Underlying was higher than its Coupon Barrier on every other day during the Quarterly Observation Period. If the closing
level of any Underlying is less than its Coupon Barrier on any day during each Quarterly Observation Period, we will not pay you
any Contingent Coupon during the term of, and you will not receive a positive return on, your Notes. Generally, this non-payment
of the Contingent Coupon coincides with a period of greater risk of principal loss on your Notes.
|
|
♦
|
Each Quarterly Contingent Coupon Is Based on the Closing Levels of the Underlyings on Each Day During the Applicable Quarterly
Observation Period
— Whether a Contingent Coupon will be payable with respect to a Quarterly Observation Period will
be based solely on the closing levels of the Underlyings on each day during that Quarterly Observation Period. If the closing level
of any Underlying on any day during a Quarterly Observation Period is less than its Coupon Barrier, you will not receive any Contingent
Coupon with respect to that Quarterly Observation Period. As a result, a Contingent Coupon for a Quarterly Observation Period may
be lost after the first day of such period, but you will not know whether you will receive a Contingent Coupon for a Quarterly
Observation Period until the end of the related period.
|
|
♦
|
Return on the Notes Limited to the Sum of Any Contingent Coupons and You Will Not Participate in Any Appreciation of Any
Underlying
— The return potential of the Notes is limited to the specified Contingent Coupon Rate, regardless of the
appreciation of any Underlying, which may be significant. In addition, the total return on the Notes will vary based on the number
of Quarterly Observation Periods during which the requirements for a Contingent Coupon have been met prior to maturity or JPMorgan
Financial electing to call the Notes. Further, if JPMorgan Financial elects to call the Notes, you will not receive any Contingent
Coupons or any other payments in respect of any Quarterly Observation Periods after the Call Settlement Date. If JPMorgan Financial
does not elect to call the Notes, you may be subject to the risk of decline in the level of each Underlying, even though you are
not able to participate in any potential appreciation of any Underlying. As a result, the return on an investment in the Notes
could be less than the return on a hypothetical direct investment in any Underlying. In addition, if JPMorgan Financial does not
elect to call the Notes and the Final Value of any Underlying is below its Downside Threshold, you will lose some or all of your
principal amount and the overall return on the Notes may be less than the amount that would be paid on a conventional debt security
of JPMorgan Financial of comparable maturity.
|
|
♦
|
Because the Notes Are Linked to the Least Performing Underlying, You Are Exposed to Greater Risks of No Contingent Coupons
and Sustaining a Significant Loss on Your Investment at Maturity Than If the Notes Were Linked to a Single
|
|
|
Underlying
— The risk that you will not receive any Contingent Coupons and lose some or all of your initial investment
in the Notes at maturity is greater if you invest in the Notes as opposed to substantially similar securities that are linked to
the performance of a single Underlying or to two Underlyings. With three Underlyings, it is more likely that the closing level
of any Underlying will be less than its Coupon Barrier on any day during the Quarterly Observation Periods or less than its Downside
Threshold on the Final Valuation Date. Therefore it is more likely that you will not receive any Contingent Coupons and that you
will suffer a significant loss on your investment at maturity. In addition, the performance of the Underlyings may not be correlated
or may be negatively correlated.
|
The lower the correlation between two Underlyings,
the greater the potential for one of those Underlyings to close below its Coupon Barrier or Downside Threshold on any day during
a Quarterly Observation Period or the Final Valuation Date, respectively, and with three Underlyings there is a greater potential
that one pair of Underlyings will have low or negative correlation. See “Correlation of the Underlyings” below. Although
the correlation of the Underlyings’ performance may change over the term of the Notes, the Contingent Coupon Rate is determined,
in part, based on the correlation of the Underlyings’ performance, as calculated using internal models of our affiliates
at the time when the terms of the Notes are finalized. A higher Contingent Coupon Rate is generally associated with lower
correlation of the Underlyings, which reflects a greater potential for loss on your investment at maturity.
|
♦
|
You Are Exposed to the Risk of Decline in the Level of Each Underlying
— Your return on the Notes and your payment
at maturity, if any, is not linked to a basket consisting of the Underlyings. If JPMorgan Financial does not elect to call the
Notes, your payment at maturity is contingent upon the performance of each individual Underlying such that you will be fully exposed
to the risks related to each of the Underlyings. In addition, the performance of the Underlyings may not be correlated. Poor performance
by any of the Underlyings over the term of the Notes may negatively affect whether you will receive a Contingent Coupon on any
Coupon Payment Date and your payment at maturity and will not be offset or mitigated by positive performance by the other Underlyings.
Accordingly, your investment is subject to the risk of decline in the value of each Underlying.
|
|
♦
|
Your Payment at Maturity May Be Determined By the Least Performing Underlying
— Because the payment at maturity
will be determined based on the performance of the Least Performing Underlying, you will not benefit from the performance of the
other Underlyings. Accordingly, if JPMorgan Financial does not elect to call the Notes and the Final Value of any Underlying
is less than its Downside Threshold, you will lose some or all of your principal amount at maturity, even if the Final Value of
the other Underlyings is greater than or equal to its Initial Value.
|
|
♦
|
Contingent Repayment of Principal Applies Only If You Hold the Notes to Maturity
— If you are able to sell your
Notes in the secondary market prior to maturity, you may have to sell them at a loss relative to your initial investment even if
the closing levels of all of the Underlyings are above their respective Downside Thresholds. If by maturity the Notes have not
been called, either JPMorgan Financial will repay you the full principal amount per Note, with or without the Contingent Coupon,
or, if any Underlying closes below its Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date, JPMorgan Financial will repay less than
the principal amount, if anything, at maturity, resulting in a loss on your principal amount that is proportionate to the decline
in the closing level of the Least Performing Underlying from the Trade Date to the Final Valuation Date. This contingent repayment
of principal applies only if you hold your Notes to maturity.
|
|
♦
|
A Higher Contingent Coupon Rate and/or a Lower Coupon Barrier and/or Downside Threshold May Reflect Greater Expected Volatility
of the Underlyings, Which Is Generally Associated With a Greater Risk of Loss
— Volatility is a measure of the degree
of variation in the levels of the Underlyings over a period of time.
The greater the expected volatilities of the Underlyings at the time the terms of the Notes are set, the greater the expectation
is at that time that the level of an Underlying could close below its Coupon Barrier on any day during any Quarterly Observation
Period, resulting in the loss of one or more, or all, Contingent Coupon payments, or below its Downside Threshold on the Final
Valuation Date, resulting in the loss of a significant portion or all of your principal at maturity.
In addition, the economic terms of the Notes, including the Contingent Coupon Rate, the Coupon Barrier and the Downside Threshold,
are based, in part, on the expected volatilities of the Underlyings at the time the terms of the Notes are set, where higher expected
volatilities will generally be reflected in a higher Contingent Coupon Rate than the fixed rate we would pay on conventional debt
securities of the same maturity and/or on otherwise comparable securities and/or a lower Coupon Barrier and/or a lower Downside
Threshold as compared to otherwise comparable securities.
Accordingly, a higher Contingent Coupon Rate will generally be indicative of a greater risk of loss while a lower Coupon Barrier
or Downside Threshold does not necessarily indicate that the Notes have a greater likelihood of paying Contingent Coupon payments
or returning your principal at maturity.
You should be willing
to accept the downside market risk of each Underlying and the potential loss of some or all of your principal at maturity.

Call and Reinvestment Risk
— JPMorgan Financial may, in its sole discretion, elect to call the Notes on any Quarterly
Observation End Date (after an initial one-year non-call period and other than the Final Valuation Date), regardless of the closing
level of any Underlying on that Quarterly Observation End Date. If JPMorgan Financial elects to call your Notes early, you will
no longer have the opportunity to receive any Contingent Coupons after the applicable Call Settlement Date. The fourth Quarterly
Observation End Date, and the first potential date on which JPMorgan Financial may elect to call the Notes, occurs after approximately
one year and therefore you may not have the opportunity to receive any Contingent Coupons after approximately one year. In the
event JPMorgan Financial elects to call the Notes, there is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds at a comparable
return and/or with a comparable Contingent Coupon Rate for a similar level of risk.
|
It is more likely that JPMorgan Financial will
elect to call the Notes prior to maturity when the expected interest payable on the Notes is greater than the interest that would
be payable on other instruments issued by JPMorgan Financial of comparable maturity, terms and credit rating trading in the market.
The greater likelihood of JPMorgan Financial calling the Notes in that environment increases the risk that you will not be able
to reinvest the proceeds from the called Notes in an equivalent investment with a similar Contingent Coupon Rate. JPMorgan Financial
is less likely to call the Notes prior to maturity when the expected interest payable on the Notes is less than the interest that
would be payable on other comparable instruments issued by JPMorgan Financial, which
includes when the level of any of the Underlyings
is less than its Coupon Barrier. Therefore, the Notes are more likely to remain outstanding when the expected interest payable
on the Notes is less than what would be payable on other comparable instruments and when your risk of not receiving a Contingent
Coupon is relatively higher.

Potential Conflicts
— We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Notes,
including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the Notes and making the assumptions used to determine
the pricing of the Notes and the estimated value of the Notes when the terms of the Notes are set, which we refer to as the estimated
value of the Notes. In performing these duties, our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s economic interests and the economic interests
of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the Notes. In
addition, our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s business activities, including hedging and trading activities, could cause our
and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s economic interests to be adverse to yours and could adversely affect any payment on the Notes
and the value of the Notes. It is possible that hedging or trading activities of ours or our affiliates in connection with the
Notes could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the Notes declines. Please refer to “Risk
Factors — Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest” in the accompanying product supplement for additional information
about these risks.
|
|
♦
|
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
— The estimated value of the Notes is determined by reference to internal pricing models of our affiliates when the terms
of the Notes are set. This estimated value of the Notes is based on market conditions and other relevant factors existing at that
time and assumptions about market parameters, which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors. Different
pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations for the Notes that are greater than or less than the estimated value of
the Notes. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to
be incorrect. On future dates, the value of the Notes could change significantly based on, among other things, changes in market
conditions, our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness, interest rate movements and other relevant factors, which
may impact the price, if any, at which JPMS would be willing to buy Notes from you in secondary market transactions. See “The
Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
|
|
♦
|
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 is 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-rate debt of JPMorgan Chase & Co. 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. These costs can include selling commissions,
projected hedging profits, if any, and, in some circumstances, estimated hedging costs and our internal secondary market funding
rates for structured debt issuances. See “Secondary Market Prices of the Notes” in this pricing supplement for additional
information relating to this initial period. Accordingly, the estimated value of your Notes during this initial period may be lower
than the value of the Notes as published by JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer account statements).
|
|
♦
|
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 (a) exclude selling commissions and (b) may exclude projected hedging profits, if any, and estimated hedging costs
that are included in the original issue price of the Notes. As a result, the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy
Notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, is likely to be lower than the original issue price. Any sale by you
prior to the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you. See the immediately following risk factor for information
about additional factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the Notes.
|
The Notes are not designed to be short-term trading
instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your Notes to maturity. See “— Lack of Liquidity”
below.
|
♦
|
Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Notes
— As described under “The Estimated
Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement, the Notes can be thought of as securities that combine a fixed-income debt
component with one or more derivatives. As a result, the factors that influence the values of fixed-income debt and derivative
instruments will also influence the terms of the Notes at issuance and their value in the secondary market. Accordingly, the secondary
market price of the Notes during their term will be impacted by a number of economic and market factors, which may either offset
or magnify each other, aside from the selling commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, estimated hedging costs and the levels
of the Underlyings, including:
|
|
♦
|
any actual or potential change in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness or credit spreads;
|
|
♦
|
customary bid-ask spreads for similarly sized trades;
|
|
♦
|
our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances;
|
|
♦
|
the actual and expected volatility in the levels of the Underlyings;
|
|
♦
|
the time to maturity of the Notes;
|
|
♦
|
whether the closing level of any Underlying has been, or is expected to be, less than its Coupon Barrier on any day during
any Quarterly Observation Period and whether the Final Value of any Underlying is expected to be less than its Downside Threshold;
|
|
♦
|
the dividend rates on the equity securities underlying the Underlyings;
|
|
♦
|
the actual and expected positive or negative correlation between the Underlyings, or the actual or expected absence of any
such correlation;
|
|
♦
|
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 EURO STOXX 50
®
Index trade and the correlation among those rates and the levels
of the EURO STOXX 50
®
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.
|
♦
|
Investing in the Notes Is Not Equivalent to Investing in the Stocks Composing the Underlyings
— Investing in the
Notes is not equivalent to investing in the stocks included in the Underlyings. As an investor in the Notes, you will not have
any ownership interest or rights in the stocks included in the Underlyings, such as voting rights, dividend payments or other distributions.
|
|
♦
|
We Cannot Control Actions by the Sponsor of Any Underlying and That Sponsor Has No
Obligation to Consider Your Interests
— We and our affiliates are not affiliated with the sponsor of any Underlying and
have no ability to control or predict its actions, including any errors in or discontinuation of public disclosure regarding methods
or policies relating to the calculation of that Underlying. The sponsor of each Underlying is not involved in this Note offering
in any way and has no obligation to consider your interest as an owner of the Notes in taking any actions that might affect the
market value of your Notes.
|
|
♦
|
Your Return on the Notes Will Not Reflect Dividends on the Stocks Composing the Underlyings
— Your return on the
Notes will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the stock included in the Underlyings and received the
dividends on the stock included in the Underlyings. This is because the calculation agent will determine whether the Notes will
be called and whether a Contingent Coupon is payable and will calculate the amount payable to you at maturity of the Notes by reference
to the closing level of each Underlying on the Final Valuation Date, without taking into consideration the value of dividends on
the stock included in that Underlying.
|
|
♦
|
No Assurances That the Investment View Implicit in the Notes Will Be Successful
— While the Notes are structured
to provide for Contingent Coupons if each Underlying does not close below its Coupon Barrier on any day during the Quarterly Observation
Periods, we cannot assure you of the economic environment during the term or at maturity of your 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.
|
|
♦
|
Potentially Inconsistent Research, Opinions or Recommendations by JPMS, UBS or Their Affiliates
— JPMS, UBS or
their affiliates may publish research, express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with investing in or holding
the Notes, and that may be revised at any time. Any such research, opinions or recommendations may or may not recommend that investors
buy or hold the Underlyings and could affect the level of an Underlying, and therefore the market value of the Notes.
|
|
♦
|
Tax Treatment
— Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Notes are uncertain. You should consult your tax
adviser about your tax situation.
|
|
♦
|
Potential JPMorgan Financial Impact on the Level of an Underlying
— Trading or transactions by JPMorgan Financial
or its affiliates in an Underlying and/or over-the-counter options, futures or other instruments with returns linked to the performance
of an Underlying may adversely affect the level of that Underlying and, therefore, the market value of the Notes.
|
Risks Relating to the Underlyings
|
♦
|
Non-U.S. Securities Risk with Respect to the EURO STOXX 50
®
Index —
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 about U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting
requirements of the SEC.
|
|
♦
|
No Direct Exposure to Fluctuations in Foreign Exchange Rates with Respect to the EURO
STOXX 50
®
Index —
The value of the Notes will not be adjusted for exchange rate fluctuations between the
U.S. dollar and the currencies upon which the equity securities included in the EURO STOXX 50
®
Index are based,
although any currency fluctuations could affect the performance of the
|
|
|
EURO STOXX 50
®
Index. Therefore, if the applicable currencies appreciate
or depreciate relative to the U.S. dollar over the term of the Notes, you will not receive any additional payment or incur any
reduction in any payment on the Notes.
|
|
♦
|
An Investment in the Notes is Subject to Risks Associated with Small Capitalization Stocks with Respect to the
Russell
2000
®
Index
— The equity securities included in the
Russell
2000
®
Index
are issued by companies with relatively small market capitalization. The stock prices of smaller
companies may be more volatile than stock prices of large capitalization companies. Small capitalization companies may be less
able to withstand adverse economic, market, trade and competitive conditions relative to larger companies. These companies tend
to be less well-established than large market capitalization 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.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. Is Currently One of the Companies that Make Up the S&P 500
®
Index —
JPMorgan
Chase & Co. is currently one of the companies that make up the S&P 500

will not have any obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the Notes in taking any corporate action that might affect

Hypothetical
Examples
The examples below illustrate the hypothetical payments on a Coupon
Payment Date, upon an issuer-elected call or at maturity under different hypothetical scenarios for a $10.00 Note on an offering
of the Notes, with the assumptions set forth below.* We cannot predict the closing level of any Underlying on any day during the
term of the Notes, including on any day during any Quarterly Observation Period or on the Final Valuation Date. You should not
take these examples as an indication or assurance of the expected performance of the Notes. Numbers in the examples below have
been rounded for ease of analysis. In these examples, we refer to the Russell 2000
®
Index, the S&P 500
®
Index and the EURO STOXX 50
®
Index as the “RTY Index,” the “SPX Index” and the “SX5E
Index,” respectively.

|
Term:
|
2.5 years (unless earlier called)
|
Hypothetical Initial Value:

100.000 for the RTY Index, 100.00 for the SPX Index and 100.00 for the SX5E Index
|
Contingent Coupon Rate:

9.00% per annum (or 2.25% per quarter)
|
Quarterly Observation Periods/Quarterly
Observation End Dates:
|
Quarterly
|
Hypothetical Downside Threshold:
|
65.000 for the RTY Index, 65.00 for the SPX Index and 65.00 for the SX5E Index (which, with respect to each Underlying, is 65% of the hypothetical Initial Value of that Underlying)
|
Hypothetical Coupon Barrier:
|
65.000 for the RTY Index, 65.00 for the SPX Index and 65.00 for the SX5E Index (which, with respect to each Underlying, is 65% of the hypothetical Initial Value of that Underlying)
|
*
|
Terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples do not represent the actual Initial Values, Coupon Barriers or Downside Thresholds. The hypothetical Initial Values of 100.000 for the RTY Index, 100.00 for the SPX Index and 100.00 for the SX5E Index have been chosen for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the actual Initial Value for either Underlying. The actual Initial Value and resulting Downside Threshold and Coupon Barrier of each Underlying are based on the closing level of that Underlying on the Trade Date and are specified on the cover of this pricing supplement. For historical data regarding the actual closing levels of the Underlyings, please see the historical information set forth under the sections titled “The Russell 2000
®
Index,” “The S&P 500
®
Index” and “The EURO STOXX 50
®
Index” below.

The examples below are hypothetical. These examples are intended
to illustrate (a) the effect of an issuer-elected call, (b) how the payment of a Contingent Coupon with respect to any Quarterly
Observation Period will depend on whether the closing level of any Underlying is less than its Coupon Barrier on any day during
that Quarterly Observation Period, (c) how the value of the payment at maturity on the Notes will depend on whether the Final Value
of any Underlying is less than its Downside Threshold and (d) how the total return on the Notes may be less than the total return
on a direct investment in any or all Underlyings in certain scenarios. The “total return” as used in this pricing supplement
is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the total payments per $10.00 principal amount Note over
the term of the Notes to the $10.00 initial issue price.

Total:
|
$10.45
|
|
|
Total Return:
|
4.50%
|
On the fourth Quarterly Observation End Date, JPMorgan Financial
elects to call the Notes. Because the closing level of each Underlying is above its applicable Coupon Barrier on each day during
the fourth Quarterly Observation Period (the Quarterly Observation End Date of which is approximately one year after the Trade
Date and is the first Quarterly Observation End Date on which the Notes are callable), JPMorgan Financial will pay you on the Call
Settlement Date $10.225 per $10.00 principal amount Note, which is equal to your principal
amount
plus
the Contingent Coupon due on the Coupon Payment
Date that is also the Call Settlement Date. No further amounts will be owed to you under the Notes.
In addition, because the closing level of each Underlying was greater
than or equal to its Coupon Barrier on each day during the first Quarterly Observation Period, JPMorgan Financial will pay the
Contingent Coupon of $0.225 on the first Coupon Payment Date. However, because the closing level of at least one Underlying was
less than its Coupon Barrier on at least one day during each of the second and third Quarterly Observation Periods, JPMorgan Financial
will not pay any Contingent Coupon on the Coupon Payment Dates following the applicable Quarterly Observation Periods. Accordingly,
JPMorgan Financial will have paid a total of $10.45 per $10.00 principal amount Note for a 4.50% total return over the approximately
2.5 year term of the Notes.

In this example, the Issuer does not elect to call the Notes and
the Notes remain outstanding until maturity. Because the Final Value of each Underlying is greater than or equal to its Downside
Threshold and the closing level of each Underlying is greater than or equal to its Coupon Barrier on each day during the final
Quarterly Observation Period, JPMorgan Financial will pay you on the Maturity Date $10.225 per $10.00 principal amount Note, which
is equal to your principal amount
plus
the Contingent Coupon due on the Coupon Payment Date that is also the Maturity Date.
In addition, because the closing level of each Underlying was greater
than or equal to its Coupon Barrier on each day during the first and second Quarterly Observation Periods, JPMorgan Financial will
pay the Contingent Coupon of $0.225 on the first and second Coupon Payment Dates. However, because the closing level of at least
one Underlying was less than its Coupon Barrier on at least one day during each of the third through ninth Quarterly Observation
Periods, JPMorgan Financial will not pay any Contingent Coupon on the Coupon Payment Date following the applicable Quarterly Observation
Period. Accordingly, JPMorgan Financial will have paid a total of $10.675 per $10.00 principal amount Note for a 6.75% total return
over the approximately 2.5 year term of the Notes.

In this example, the Issuer does not elect to call the Notes and
the Notes remain outstanding until maturity. Because the Final Value of each Underlying is greater than or equal to its Downside
Threshold but the closing level of at least one Underlying is less than its Coupon Barrier on at least one day during the final
Quarterly Observation Period, JPMorgan Financial will pay you on the Maturity Date $10.00 per $10.00 principal amount Note, which
is equal to your principal amount, but JPMorgan Financial will not pay any Contingent Coupon on the Maturity Date.
In addition, because the closing level of each Underlying was greater
than or equal to its Coupon Barrier on each day during the first and second Quarterly Observation Periods, JPMorgan Financial will
pay the Contingent Coupon of $0.225 on the first and second Coupon Payment Dates. However, because the closing level of at least
one Underlying was less than its Coupon Barrier on at least one day during each of the third through ninth Quarterly Observation
Periods, JPMorgan Financial will not pay any Contingent Coupon on the Coupon Payment Date following the applicable Quarterly Observation
Period. Accordingly, JPMorgan Financial will have paid a total of $10.45 per $10.00 principal amount Note for a 4.50% total return
over the approximately 2.5 year term of the Notes.

|
|
Notes NOT callable. Closing level of RTY Index below its Downside Threshold; Issuer DOES NOT pay Contingent Coupon on Maturity Date, and Issuer will repay less than the principal amount resulting in a loss proportionate to the decline of the Least Performing Underlying.
|
Total Payments (per $10.00 Note):
|

Payment at Maturity:
|
$4.50
|
|
|
Prior Contingent Coupons:

$4.50
|
|
|
Total Return:
|
-55.00%
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this example, the Issuer does not elect to call the Notes and the Notes
remain outstanding until maturity. Because the Final Value of at least one Underlying is less than its Downside Threshold on the
Final Valuation Date, at maturity, JPMorgan Financial will pay you a total of $4.50 per $10.00 principal amount, for a -55.00%
total return on the Notes, calculated as follows:
$10.00 × (1 + Least Performing Underlying Return)
Step 1: Determine the Underlying Return of each Underlying:
Underlying Return of the RTY Index:
Final Value – Initial Value
|
=
|
45.000 – 100.000
|
= -55.00%
|
Initial Value
|
100.000
|
Underlying Return of the SPX Index:
Final Value – Initial Value
|
=
|
110.00 – 100.00
|
= 10.00%
|
Initial Value
|
100.00
|
Underlying Return of the SX5E Index:
Final Value – Initial Value
|
=
|
80.00 – 100.00
|
= -20.00%
|
Initial Value
|
100.00
|
Step 2: Determine the Least Performing Underlying
. The RTY Index
is the Underlying with the Lowest Underlying Return.
Step 3: Calculate the Payment at Maturity:
$10.00 × (1 + Least Performing Underlying Return)
= $10.00 × (1 + -55.00%) = $4.50
In addition, because the closing level of at least one Underlying is less
than its Coupon Barrier on at least one day during each Quarterly Observation Period, JPMorgan Financial will not pay any Contingent
Coupons over the term of the Notes.
Accordingly, JPMorgan Financial
will have paid a total of $4.50 per $10.00 principal
amount Note for a -55.00% total return over the approximately 2.5 year term of the Notes.
The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the Notes
shown above apply
only if you hold the Notes for their entire term or until called
. These hypotheticals do not reflect fees
or expenses that would be associated with any sale in the secondary market. If these fees and expenses were included, the hypothetical
returns and hypothetical payments shown above would likely be lower.
The

Correlation
of the Underlyings
The graph below illustrates the daily performance of the Russell
2000
®
Index, the S&P 500
®
Index and the EURO STOXX 50
®
Index from January 3, 2006
through August 19, 2016. For comparison purposes, each Underlying has been normalized to have a closing level of 100.00 on January
3, 2006 by dividing the closing level of that Underlying on each day by the closing level of that Underlying on January 3, 2006
and multiplying by 100.00. We obtained the closing levels used to determine the normalized closing levels set forth below from
Bloomberg, without independent verification.
Past performance of the Underlyings is not indicative of
the future performance of the Underlyings.
The correlation of a pair of Underlyings represents a statistical
measurement of the degree to which the returns of those Underlyings were similar to each other over a given period in terms of
timing and direction (
i.e.
, positive or negative). Set forth below is a table that provides the correlation of each pair
of Underlyings, calculated based on the daily returns of the Underlyings from August 19, 2006 through August 19, 2016, based on
information from Bloomberg, without independent verification. You should not take the historical correlations of the Underlyings
as an indication of future correlation.

A correlation of 1.000 for a pair of Underlyings represents a perfect
positive correlation. This means that the closing levels of that pair of Underlyings have moved in the same direction and the ratio
of their daily returns has been constant. A correlation of -1.000 for a pair of Underlyings represents a perfect negative correlation.
This means that the closing levels of that pair of Underlyings have moved in the opposite direction and the ratio of their daily
returns has been constant. A correlation of 0.000 for a pair of Underlyings means that the Underlyings are uncorrelated. This means
that there is no statistical relationship between the daily returns of that pair of Underlyings. The closer the correlation of
a pair of Underlyings is to 1.000, the more positively correlated those Underlyings are. The closer the correlation of a pair of
Underlyings is to -1.000, the more negatively correlated those Underlyings. The closer the correlation of a pair of Underlyings
is to 0.000, the less correlated those Underlyings are. The lower the correlation between two Underlyings, the greater the potential
for one of those Underlyings to close below its Coupon Barrier or Downside Threshold on any day during a Quarterly Observation
Period or the Final Valuation Date, respectively.
The correlations set forth above are based on the historical performance
of the Underlyings, and you should not take those historical correlations as an indication of future correlation. In addition,
the correlations set forth above are not the same as the correlations referenced in setting the terms of the Notes. The correlations
referenced in setting the terms of the Notes are calculated using internal models of our affiliates and are not derived from the
daily returns of the Underlyings over the period set forth above. Although the correlation of the Underlyings’ performance
may change over the term of the Notes, the Contingent Coupon Rate is determined, in part, based on the correlations of the Underlyings’
performance calculated using internal models of our affiliates at the time when the terms of the Notes are finalized. A higher
Contingent Coupon Rate is generally associated with lower correlation of the Underlyings, which reflects a greater potential for
missed Contingent Coupons and for a loss on your investment at maturity.
Supplemental
Plan of Distribution
We and JPMorgan Chase & Co. have agreed to indemnify UBS and
JPMS against liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments that UBS may be required to
make relating to these liabilities as described in the prospectus supplement and the prospectus. We have agreed that UBS may sell
all or a part of the Notes that it purchases from us to the public or its affiliates at the price to public indicated on the cover
hereof.
Subject to regulatory constraints, JPMS intends to offer to purchase
the Notes in the secondary market, but it is not required to do so.
We or our affiliates may enter into swap agreements or related hedge
transactions with one of our other affiliates or unaffiliated counterparties in connection with the sale of the Notes, and JPMS
and/or an affiliate may earn additional income as a result of payments pursuant to the swap or related hedge transactions. See
“Supplemental Use of Proceeds” in this pricing supplement and “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying
product supplement.
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 fifth
business day following the Trade Date of the Notes (this settlement cycle being referred to as T+5). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business
days, unless the parties to that trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Notes on the Trade
Date or the succeeding business day will be required to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to
prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisors.
The
Estimated Value of the Notes
The estimated value of the Notes set forth on the cover of this pricing
supplement is equal to the sum of the values of the following hypothetical components: (1) a fixed-income debt component with the
same maturity as the Notes, valued using the internal funding rate described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying
the economic terms of the Notes. The estimated value of the Notes does not represent a minimum price at which JPMS would be willing
to buy your Notes in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the
estimated value of the Notes is based on, among other things, our and our affiliates’ view of the funding values of the Notes
as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the Notes in comparison to those costs for
the conventional fixed-rate debt of JPMorgan Chase & Co. For additional information, see “Key Risks — Risks Relating
to the Notes Generally — The Estimated Value of the Notes Is Derived by Reference to an Internal Funding Rate” in this
pricing supplement. The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the Notes is derived from internal
pricing models of our affiliates. These models are dependent on inputs such as the traded market prices of comparable derivative
instruments and on various other inputs, some of which are market-observable, and which can include volatility, dividend rates,
interest rates and other factors, as well as assumptions about future market events and/or environments. Accordingly, the estimated
value of the Notes is determined when the terms of the Notes are set based on market conditions and other relevant factors and
assumptions existing at that time. See “Key Risks — Risks Relating to the Notes Generally — The Estimated Value
of the Notes Does Not Represent Future Values of the Notes and May Differ from Others’ Estimates” in this pricing supplement.
The estimated value of the Notes is lower than the original issue
price of the Notes because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the Notes are included in the original issue
price of the Notes. These costs include the selling commissions paid to UBS, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates
expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the Notes and the estimated cost of hedging our
obligations under the Notes. Because hedging our obligations entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our control,
this hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or it may result in a loss. We or one or more of our affiliates
will retain any profits realized in hedging our obligations under the Notes. See “Key Risks — Risks Relating to the
Notes Generally — The Estimated Value of the Notes Is Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to Public) of the Notes”
in this pricing supplement.
Secondary
Market Prices of the Notes
For information about factors that will impact any secondary market
prices of the Notes, see “Key Risks — Risks Relating to the Notes Generally — Secondary Market Prices of the
Notes Will Be Impacted by Many Economic and Market Factors” in this pricing supplement. In addition, we generally expect
that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the Notes will be partially paid back to you in connection with
any repurchases of your Notes by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period that is intended
to be up to five months. The length of any such initial period reflects secondary market volumes for the Notes, the structure of
the Notes, whether our affiliates expect to earn a profit in connection with our hedging activities, the estimated costs of hedging
the Notes and when these costs are incurred, as determined by our affiliates. See “Key Risks — Risks Relating to the
Notes Generally — 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.
