$2,578,000
Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Common Stock
of Micron Technology, Inc. due January 16, 2025
Fully and
Unconditionally Guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
|
● |
The notes are designed for investors who seek a Contingent
Interest Payment with respect to each Review Date for which the
closing price of one share of the Reference Stock is greater than
or equal to 55.00% of the Initial Value, which we refer to as the
Interest Barrier. |
|
● |
The notes will be automatically called if the closing price of
one share of the Reference Stock on any Review Date (other than the
first and final Review Dates) is greater than or equal to the
Initial Value. |
|
● |
The earliest date on which an automatic call may be initiated
is July 12, 2022. |
|
● |
Investors should be willing to accept the risk of losing some
or all of their principal and the risk that no Contingent Interest
Payment may be made with respect to some or all Review Dates. |
|
● |
Investors should also be willing to forgo fixed interest and
dividend payments, in exchange for the opportunity to receive
Contingent Interest Payments. |
|
● |
The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, which we refer to as JPMorgan
Financial, the payment on which is fully and unconditionally
guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. Any payment on the notes
is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial, as issuer of
the notes, and the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co., as
guarantor of the notes. |

Minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples
thereof |

Hypothetical Payout Examples
The following examples illustrate payments on the notes linked to a
hypothetical Reference
Stock, assuming a range of performances for the hypothetical
Reference
Stock 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 $55.00 (equal to
55.00% of the hypothetical Initial Value); and |
|
● |
a Contingent Interest Rate of 10.00% per annum (payable at a
rate of 2.50% per quarter). |
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
Reference Stock 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
Reference Stock, please see the historical information set forth
under “The Reference Stock” 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 second Review
Date.
Date |
Closing Price |
Payment (per $1,000 principal amount note) |
First Review Date |
$105.00 |
$25.00 |
Second Review Date |
$110.00 |
$1,025.00 |
|
Total Payment |
$1,050.00 (5.00% return) |
Because the closing price of one share of the Reference Stock on
the second 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 $1,025.00 (or $1,000
plus the Contingent Interest Payment applicable to the
second Review Date), payable on the applicable Call Settlement
Date. The notes are not automatically callable before the second
Review Date, even though the closing price of one share of the
Reference Stock on the first Review Date is greater than the
Initial Value. When added to the Contingent Interest Payment
received with respect to the prior Review Date, the total amount
paid, for each $1,000 principal amount note, is $1,050.00. No
further payments will be made on the notes.

$1,025.00 |

Total Payment |
$1,075.00 (7.50% return) |
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 $1,025.00
(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
$1,075.00.
Example 3 — Notes have NOT been automatically called and the
Final Value is less than the Trigger Value.
Date |
Closing Price |
Payment (per $1,000 principal amount note) |

Less than Interest Barrier |
$0 |
Final Review Date |
$45.00 |
$450.00 |
|
Total Payment |
$450.00 (-55.00% return) |
Because the notes have not been automatically called, the Final
Value is less than the Trigger Value and the Stock Return
is -55.00%, the payment at maturity will be $450.00 per
$1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:
$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-55.00%)] = $450.00
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” section of the
accompanying prospectus supplement and product supplement.
|
● |
YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS —
The notes do not guarantee any return of principal. If the notes
have not been automatically called and the Final Value 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 45.00% 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 Reference Stock on that
Review Date is greater than or equal to the Interest Barrier. If
the closing price of one share of the Reference Stock 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 Reference
Stock 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 Reference Stock, which may be
significant. You will not participate in any appreciation of the
Reference Stock. |
|
● |
POTENTIAL CONFLICTS —
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. |
|
● |
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 Reference Stock. |
|
● |
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 six 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 REFERENCE STOCK OR
HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THE REFERENCE STOCK. |
|
● |
NO AFFILIATION WITH THE REFERENCE STOCK ISSUER —
We have not independently verified any of the information about the
Reference Stock issuer contained in this pricing supplement. You
should undertake your own investigation into the Reference Stock
and its issuer. We are not responsible for the Reference Stock
issuer’s public disclosure of information, whether contained in SEC
filings or otherwise. |
|
● |
THE ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION FOR THE REFERENCE STOCK IS
LIMITED AND MAY BE DISCRETIONARY —
The calculation agent will not make an adjustment in response to
all events that could affect the Reference Stock. The calculation
agent may make adjustments in response to events that are not
described in the accompanying product supplement to account for any
diluting or concentrative effect, but the calculation agent is
under no obligation to do so or to consider your interests as a
holder of the notes in making these determinations. |
|
● |
THE RISK OF THE CLOSING PRICE OF THE REFERENCE STOCK FALLING
BELOW THE INTEREST BARRIER OR THE TRIGGER VALUE IS GREATER IF THE
PRICE OF THE REFERENCE STOCK IS VOLATILE. |
|
● |
LACK OF LIQUIDITY—
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange.
Accordingly, the price at which you may be able to trade your notes
is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which JPMS is willing
to buy the notes. You may not be able to sell your notes. The notes
are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly,
you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity. |
|
● |
THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES IS LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL
ISSUE PRICE (PRICE TO PUBLIC) OF THE NOTES —
The estimated value of the notes is only an estimate determined by
reference to several factors. The original issue price of the notes
exceeds the estimated value of the notes because costs associated
with selling, structuring and hedging the notes are included in the
original issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling
commissions, the structuring fee, the projected profits, if any,
that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent
in hedging our obligations under the notes and the estimated cost
of hedging our obligations under the notes. See “The Estimated
Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement. |
|
● |
THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE
VALUES OF THE NOTES AND MAY DIFFER FROM OTHERS’ ESTIMATES —
See “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing
supplement. |
|
● |
THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES IS DERIVED BY REFERENCE TO
AN INTERNAL FUNDING RATE —
The internal funding rate used in the determination of the
estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied
funding rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar
maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any
difference may be based on, among other things, our and our
affiliates’ view of the funding value of the notes as well as the
higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs
of the notes in comparison to those costs for the conventional
fixed income instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal
funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions,
which may prove to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the
prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use
of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate
may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any
secondary market prices of the notes. See “The Estimated Value of
the Notes” in this pricing supplement. |

|
 |
|
● |
THE VALUE OF THE NOTES AS PUBLISHED BY JPMS (AND WHICH MAY
BE REFLECTED ON CUSTOMER ACCOUNT STATEMENTS) MAY BE HIGHER THAN THE
THEN-CURRENT ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES FOR A LIMITED TIME PERIOD
—
We generally expect that some of the costs included in the original
issue price of the notes will be partially paid back to you in
connection with any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in an amount
that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period. See
“Secondary Market Prices of the Notes” in this pricing supplement
for additional information relating to this initial period.
Accordingly, the estimated value of your notes during this initial
period may be lower than the value of the notes as published by
JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer account
statements). |
|
● |
SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL LIKELY BE LOWER
THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE OF THE NOTES —
Any secondary market prices of the notes will likely be lower than
the original issue price of the notes because, among other things,
secondary market prices take into account our internal secondary
market funding rates for structured debt issuances and, also,
because secondary market prices (a) exclude the structuring fee and
(b) 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, structuring fee, projected hedging profits, if any,
estimated hedging costs and the price of the Reference Stock.
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. |

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 in the notes, including possible alternative treatments
and the issues presented by the notice described above.
Non-U.S. Holders — Tax Considerations. The U.S. federal
income tax treatment of Contingent Interest Payments is uncertain,
and although we believe it is reasonable to take a position that
Contingent Interest Payments are not subject to U.S. withholding
tax (at least if an applicable Form W-8 is provided), 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 — 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 structuring fee paid to other affiliated or
unaffiliated dealers, the projected profits, if any, that our
affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging
our obligations under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging
our obligations under the notes. Because hedging our obligations
entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our
control, this hedging may result in a profit that is more or less
than expected, or it may result in a loss. A portion of the
profits, if any, realized in hedging our obligations under the
notes may be allowed to other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers,
and we or one or more of our affiliates will retain any remaining
hedging profits. See “Selected Risk Considerations — The Estimated
Value of the Notes Is Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to
Public) of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.

Secondary Market Prices of the Notes
For information about factors that will impact any secondary market
prices of the notes, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the
Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes —
Secondary market prices of the notes will be impacted by many
economic and market factors” in the accompanying product
supplement. In addition, we generally expect that some of the costs
included in the original issue price of the notes will be partially
paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your notes
by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial
predetermined period. These costs can include selling commissions,
projected hedging profits, if any, and, in some circumstances,
estimated hedging costs and our internal secondary market funding
rates for structured debt issuances. This initial predetermined
time period is intended to be the shorter of six months and
one-half of the stated term of the notes. The length of any such
initial period reflects the structure of the notes, whether our
affiliates expect to earn a profit in connection with our hedging
activities, the estimated costs of hedging the notes and when these
costs are incurred, as determined by our affiliates. See “Selected
Risk Considerations — The Value of the Notes as Published by JPMS
(and Which May Be Reflected on Customer Account Statements) May Be
Higher Than the Then-Current Estimated Value of the Notes for a
Limited Time Period” in this pricing supplement.
Supplemental Use of Proceeds
The notes are offered to meet investor demand for products that
reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the
notes. See “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 Reference Stock” 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 the structuring fee
paid to 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.
