|
Automatic Call:
If the closing price of one share of the Fund on any Review Date (other than
the first, second and final Review Dates) is greater than or equal to the Initial Value, the notes will be automatically called for a
cash payment, for each $1,000 principal amount note, equal to (a) $1,000 plus (b) the Contingent Interest Payment applicable to
that Review Date, payable on the applicable Call Settlement Date. No further payments will be made on the notes.
Payment at Maturity:
If the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value is greater
than or equal to the Trigger Value, you will receive a cash payment at maturity, for each $1,000 principal amount note, equal to (a) $1,000
plus (b) the Contingent Interest Payment applicable to the final Review Date.
If the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value is less
than the Trigger Value, your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × Fund Return)
If the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value is
less than the Trigger Value, you will lose more than 30.00% of your principal amount at maturity and could lose all of your principal
amount at maturity.
Fund Return:
(Final Value – Initial Value)
Initial Value
Initial
Value: The closing price of one share of the Fund on the Pricing Date, which was $34.92
Final
Value: The closing price of one share of the Fund on the final Review Date

Adjustment Factor: The Share Adjustment Factor is referenced in determining the closing price of one share of the Fund and
is set equal to 1.0 on the Pricing Date. The Share Adjustment Factor is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events affecting
the Fund. See “The Underlyings — Funds — Anti-Dilution Adjustments” in the accompanying product supplement for

Hypothetical Payout Examples
The following examples illustrate payments on the notes
linked to a hypothetical Fund, assuming a range of performances for the hypothetical Fund on the Review Dates. The hypothetical payments
set forth below assume the following:
|
·
|
an Initial Value of $100.00;
|
|
·
|
an Interest Barrier and a Trigger Value of $70.00 (equal to 70.00% of the hypothetical Initial Value); and
|
|
·
|
a Contingent Interest Rate of 7.00% per annum (payable at a rate of 0.58333% per month).
|
The hypothetical Initial Value of $100.00 has been
chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual Initial Value. The actual Initial Value is the closing price of
one share of the Fund on the Pricing Date and is specified under “Key Terms — Initial Value” in this pricing supplement.
For historical data regarding the actual closing prices of one share of the Fund, please see the historical information set forth under
“The Fund” 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 third Review Date.

|
$110.00
|
$1,005.8333
|
|
Total Payment
|
$1,017.50 (1.75% return)
|
Because the closing price of one share of the Fund
on the third Review Date is greater than or equal to the Initial Value, the notes will be automatically called for a cash payment, for
each $1,000 principal amount note, of $1,005.8333 (or $1,000 plus the Contingent Interest Payment applicable to the third Review
Date), payable on the applicable Call Settlement Date. The notes are not automatically callable before the third Review Date, even though
the closing price of one share of the Fund on each of the first and second Review Dates is greater than the Initial Value. 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 $1,017.50. No further payments will be made on the notes.
Example 2 — Notes have NOT been automatically
called and the Final Value is greater than or equal to the Trigger Value.

Because the notes have not been automatically called
and the Final Value is greater than or equal to the Trigger Value, the payment at maturity, for each $1,000 principal amount note, will
be $1,005.8333 (or $1,000 plus the Contingent Interest Payment applicable to the final Review 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 $1,017.50.

Because the notes have not been automatically called,
the Final Value is less than the Trigger Value and the Fund Return is -50.00%, the payment at maturity will be $500.00 per $1,000 principal
amount note, calculated as follows:
$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-50.00%)] = $500.00
The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments
on the notes shown above apply only if you hold the notes for their entire term or until automatically called. These hypotheticals
do not reflect the fees or expenses that would be associated with any sale in the secondary market. If these fees and expenses were included,
the hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments shown above would likely be lower.
Selected
Risk Considerations
An investment in the notes involves significant risks.
These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” sections of the accompanying prospectus supplement, product
supplement and underlying supplement.
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 the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value is less than the Trigger Value, you will lose 1% of the principal
amount of your notes for every 1% that the Final Value is less than the Initial Value. Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will
lose more than 30.00% of your principal amount at maturity and could lose all of your principal amount at maturity.
|
·
|
THE NOTES DO NOT GUARANTEE THE PAYMENT OF INTEREST AND MAY NOT PAY ANY INTEREST AT ALL —
|
If the notes have not been automatically called,
we will make a Contingent Interest Payment with respect to a Review Date only if the closing price of one share of the Fund on that Review
Date is greater than or equal to the Interest Barrier. If the closing price of one share of the Fund on that Review Date is less than
the Interest Barrier, no Contingent Interest Payment will be made with respect to that Review Date. Accordingly, if the closing price
of one share of the Fund on each Review Date is less than the Interest Barrier, you will not receive any interest payments over 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.
|
·
|
THE APPRECIATION POTENTIAL OF THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO THE SUM OF ANY CONTINGENT INTEREST PAYMENTS THAT MAY BE PAID OVER THE TERM
OF THE NOTES,
|
regardless of any appreciation of the Fund,
which may be significant. You will not participate in any appreciation of the Fund.
PS-5
| Structured Investments
Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the VanEck

|
|
|
·
|
THE BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE TRIGGER VALUE MAY TERMINATE ON THE FINAL REVIEW DATE —
|
If the Final Value is less than the Trigger
Value and the notes have not been automatically called, the benefit provided by the Trigger Value will terminate and you will be fully
exposed to any depreciation of the Fund.
|
·
|
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 three months and you will not receive any Contingent Interest Payments after
the applicable Call Settlement Date. 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 FUND OR THE SECURITIES HELD BY THE FUND OR HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THE FUND OR THOSE
SECURITIES.
|
|
·
|
THE RISK OF THE CLOSING PRICE OF ONE SHARE OF THE FUND FALLING BELOW THE INTEREST BARRIER OR THE TRIGGER VALUE IS GREATER IF THE
PRICE OF ONE SHARE OF THE FUND 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 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.
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 IS LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE (PRICE TO PUBLIC) OF THE NOTES —
|
The estimated value of the notes is only an
estimate determined by reference to several factors. The original issue price of the notes exceeds the estimated value of the notes because
costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the notes are included in the original issue price of the notes. These costs include
the selling commissions, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our
obligations under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. See “The Estimated Value of the Notes”
in this pricing supplement.
|
·
|
THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE VALUES OF THE NOTES AND MAY DIFFER FROM OTHERS’ ESTIMATES —
|
See “The Estimated Value of the Notes”
in this pricing supplement.
|
·
|
THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES IS DERIVED BY REFERENCE TO AN INTERNAL FUNDING RATE —
|
The internal funding rate used in the determination
of the estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied funding rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar
maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference may be based on, among other things, our and our affiliates’
view of the funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the notes
in comparison to those costs for the conventional fixed income instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal funding rate is based
on certain market inputs and assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the prevailing market replacement
funding rate for the notes. The use of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the
terms of the notes and any secondary market prices of the notes. See “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
PS-6
| Structured Investments
Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the VanEck
Vectors® Gold Miners ETF
|
|
|
·
|
THE VALUE OF THE NOTES AS PUBLISHED BY JPMS (AND WHICH MAY BE REFLECTED ON CUSTOMER ACCOUNT STATEMENTS) MAY BE HIGHER THAN THE
THEN-CURRENT ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES FOR A LIMITED TIME PERIOD —
|
We generally expect that some of the costs included
in the original issue price of the notes will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in
an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period. See “Secondary Market Prices of the Notes” in this
pricing supplement for additional information relating to this initial period. Accordingly, the estimated value of your notes during this
initial period may be lower than the value of the notes as published by JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer account statements).
|
·
|
SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL LIKELY BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE OF THE NOTES —
|
Any secondary market prices of the notes will
likely be lower than the original issue price of the notes because, among other things, secondary market prices take into account our
internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances and, also, because secondary market prices may exclude selling commissions,
projected hedging profits, if any, and estimated hedging costs that are included in the original issue price of the notes. As a result,
the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy the notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, is likely to be
lower than the original issue price. Any sale by you prior to the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you.
|
·
|
SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL BE IMPACTED BY MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS —
|
The secondary market price of the notes during
their term will be impacted by a number of economic and market factors, which may either offset or magnify each other, aside from the
selling commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, estimated hedging costs and the price of one share of the Fund. 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 Fund
|
·
|
THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FUND —
|
The Fund is subject to management risk, which
is the risk that the investment strategies of the Fund’s investment adviser, the implementation of which is subject to a number
of constraints, may not produce the intended results. These constraints could adversely affect the market price of the shares of the Fund
and, consequently, the value of the notes.
|
·
|
THE PERFORMANCE AND MARKET VALUE OF THE FUND, PARTICULARLY DURING PERIODS OF MARKET VOLATILITY, MAY NOT CORRELATE WITH THE PERFORMANCE
OF THE FUND’S UNDERLYING INDEX AS WELL AS THE NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE —
|
The Fund does not fully replicate its Underlying
Index (as defined under “The Fund” below) and may hold securities different from those included in its Underlying Index. In
addition, the performance of the Fund will reflect additional transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of its
Underlying Index. All of these factors may lead to a lack of correlation between the performance of the Fund and its Underlying Index.
In addition, corporate actions with respect to the equity securities underlying the Fund (such as mergers and spin-offs) may impact the
variance between the performances of the Fund and its Underlying Index. Finally, because the shares of the Fund are traded on a securities
exchange and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the market value of one share of the Fund may differ from the net asset
value per share of the Fund.
During periods of market volatility, securities
underlying the Fund may be unavailable in the secondary market, market participants may be unable to calculate accurately the net asset
value per share of the Fund and the liquidity of the Fund may be adversely affected. This kind of market volatility may also disrupt
the ability of market participants to create and redeem shares of the Fund. Further, market volatility may adversely affect, sometimes
materially, the prices at which market participants are willing to buy and sell shares of the Fund. As a result, under these circumstances,
the market value of shares of the Fund may vary substantially from the net asset value per share of the Fund. For all of the foregoing
reasons, the performance of the Fund may not correlate with the performance of its Underlying Index as well as the net asset value per
share of the Fund, which could materially and adversely affect the value of the notes in the secondary market and/or reduce any payment
on the notes.
|
·
|
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE GOLD AND SILVER MINING INDUSTRIES —
|
PS-7
| Structured Investments
Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the VanEck
Vectors® Gold Miners ETF
|
|
All or substantially all of the equity securities
held by the Fund are issued by companies whose primary line of business is directly associated with the gold and/or silver mining industries. As
a result, the value of the notes may be subject to greater volatility and be more adversely affected by a single economic, political or
regulatory occurrence affecting these industries than a different investment linked to securities of a more broadly diversified group
of issuers. Investments related to gold and silver are considered speculative and are affected by a variety of factors. Competitive
pressures may have a significant effect on the financial condition of gold and silver mining companies. Also, gold and silver mining
companies are highly dependent on the price of gold and silver bullion, respectively, and may be adversely affected by a variety of worldwide
economic, financial and political factors. The price of gold and silver may fluctuate substantially over short periods of time,
so the Fund’s share price may be more volatile than other types of investments. Fluctuation in the prices of gold and silver
may be due to a number of factors, including changes in inflation, changes in currency exchange rates and changes in industrial and commercial
demand for metals (including fabricator demand). Additionally, increased environmental or labor costs may depress the value of metal investments.
These factors could affect the gold and silver mining industries and could affect the value of the equity securities held by the Fund
and the price of the Fund during the term of the notes, which may adversely affect the value of your notes.
|
·
|
NON-U.S. SECURITIES RISK —
|
Some of the equity securities held by the
Fund 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. 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.
|
·
|
THE NOTES ARE SUBJECT TO CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK —
|
Because the prices of the non-U.S. equity
securities held by the Fund are converted into U.S. dollars for purposes of calculating the net asset value of the Fund, holders of the
notes will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the currencies in which the non-U.S. equity securities held
by the Fund trade. Your net exposure will depend on the extent to which those currencies strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar
and the relative weight of equity securities held by the Fund denominated in each of those currencies. If, taking into account the
relevant weighting, the U.S. dollar strengthens against those currencies, the price of the Fund will be adversely affected and any payment
on the notes may be reduced.
|
·
|
THE ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION FOR THE FUND IS LIMITED —
|
The calculation agent will make adjustments
to the Share Adjustment Factor for certain events affecting the shares of the Fund. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment
in response to all events that could affect the shares of the Fund. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to
make an adjustment, the value of the notes may be materially and adversely affected.

The Fund
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund of the VanEck Vectors®
ETF Trust, a registered investment company, that seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield
performance of the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index, which we refer to as the Underlying Index with respect to the Fund. The NYSE Arca Gold
Miners Index is a modified market capitalization weighted index composed of publicly traded companies involved primarily in the mining
of gold or silver. For additional information about the Fund, see “Fund Descriptions — The VanEck Vectors®
ETFs” in the accompanying underlying supplement.
Historical Information
The following graph sets forth the historical performance
of the Fund based on the weekly historical closing prices of one share of the Fund from January 8, 2016 through July 30, 2021. The closing
price of one share of the Fund on July 30, 2021 was $34.92. We obtained the closing prices above and below from the Bloomberg Professional®
service (“Bloomberg”), without independent verification. The closing prices above and below may have been adjusted by Bloomberg
for actions taken by the Fund, such as stock splits.
The historical closing prices of one share of the
Fund should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the closing price of one share of
the Fund on any Review Date. There can be no assurance that the performance of the Fund 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. 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. 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

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), 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.
Section 871(m) of
the Code and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 871(m)”) generally impose a 30% withholding tax (unless
an income tax treaty applies) on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid to Non-U.S. Holders with respect to certain financial instruments
linked to U.S. equities or indices that include U.S. equities. Section 871(m) provides certain exceptions to this withholding regime,
including for instruments linked to certain broad-based indices that meet requirements set forth in the applicable Treasury regulations.
Additionally, a recent IRS notice excludes from the scope of Section 871(m) instruments issued prior to January 1, 2023 that do not have
a delta of one with respect to underlying securities that could pay U.S.-source dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes (each an
“Underlying Security”). Based on certain determinations made by us, our special tax counsel is of the opinion that Section
871(m) should not apply to the notes with regard to Non-U.S. Holders. Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may
disagree with this determination. Section 871(m) is complex and its application may depend on your particular circumstances, including
whether you enter into other transactions with respect to an Underlying Security. You should consult your tax adviser regarding
the potential application of Section 871(m) to the notes.
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 is lower than the
original issue price of the notes because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the notes are included in the original
issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, the projected
profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes and the
estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. Because hedging our obligations entails risk and may be influenced by market
forces beyond our control, this hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or it may result in a loss. A portion
of the profits, if any, realized in hedging our obligations under the notes may be allowed to other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers,
and we or one or more of our affiliates will retain any remaining hedging profits. See

“Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the
Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Estimated Value of the Notes Is Lower Than the Original Issue Price
(Price to Public) of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
Secondary
Market Prices of the Notes
For information about factors that will impact any
secondary market prices of the notes, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices
of the Notes — Secondary market prices of the notes will be impacted by many economic and market factors” in the accompanying
product supplement. In addition, we generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the notes will be
partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial
predetermined period. These costs can include selling commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, and, in some circumstances, estimated
hedging costs and our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances. This initial predetermined time period is
intended to be the shorter of six months and one-half of the stated term of the notes. The length of any such initial period reflects
the structure of the notes, whether our affiliates expect to earn a profit in connection with our hedging activities, the estimated costs
of hedging the notes and when these costs are incurred, as determined by our affiliates. See “Selected Risk Considerations —
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 Fund”
in this pricing supplement for a description of the market exposure provided by the notes.
The original issue price of the notes is equal to
the estimated value of the notes plus the selling commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, plus (minus)
the projected profits (losses) that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the
notes, plus the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes.
Supplemental
Plan of Distribution
We expect that delivery of the notes will be made against
payment for the notes on or about the Original Issue Date set forth on the front cover of this pricing supplement, which will be the third
business day following the Pricing Date of the notes (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-1
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days,
unless the parties to that trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on any date prior to two business
days before delivery will be required to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement
and should consult their own advisors.
Validity
of the Notes and the Guarantee
In the opinion
of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as special products counsel to JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., when the notes offered
by this pricing supplement have been executed and issued by JPMorgan Financial and authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the indenture,
and delivered against payment as contemplated herein, such notes will be valid and binding obligations of JPMorgan Financial and the related
guarantee will constitute a valid and binding obligation of JPMorgan Chase & Co., enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject
to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable
principles of general applicability (including, without limitation, concepts of good faith, fair dealing and the lack of bad faith), provided
that such counsel expresses no opinion as to (i) the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable
law on the conclusions expressed above or (ii) any provision of the indenture that purports to avoid the effect of fraudulent conveyance,
fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law by limiting the amount of JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s obligation under
the related guarantee. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the State of New York, the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions
about the trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery of the indenture and its authentication of the notes and the validity,
binding nature and enforceability of the indenture with respect to the trustee, all as stated in the letter of such counsel dated February
26, 2020, which was filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 by JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. on
February 26, 2020.
