Hypothetical Payout Profile
The following table illustrates the hypothetical total return and
payment at maturity on the notes linked to a hypothetical Index.
The “total return” as used in this pricing supplement is the
number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the
payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note to $1,000. The
hypothetical total returns and payments set forth below assume the
following:
|
● |
an Initial Value of 100.00; |
|
● |
a Maximum Return of 54.20%; |
|
● |
an Upside Leverage Factor of 1.00; and |
|
● |
a Buffer Amount of 20.00%. |
The hypothetical Initial Value of 100.00 has been chosen for
illustrative purposes only and may not represent a likely actual
Initial Value. The actual Initial Value will be the closing level
of the Index on the Pricing Date and will be provided in the
pricing supplement. For historical data regarding the actual
closing levels of the Index, please see the historical information
set forth under “The Index” in this pricing supplement.
Each hypothetical total return or hypothetical payment at maturity
set forth below is for illustrative purposes only and may not be
the actual total return or payment at maturity applicable to a
purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following
table have been rounded for ease of analysis.

How the Notes Work
Upside Scenario:
If the Final Value is greater than the Initial Value, investors
will receive at maturity the $1,000 principal amount plus a
return equal to 1.00 times the Index Return, subject to the Maximum
Return of at least 54.20%. Assuming a hypothetical Maximum Return
of 54.20%, an investor will realize the maximum payment at maturity
at a Final Value at or above 154.20% of the Initial Value.
|
● |
If the closing level of the Index increases 10.00%, investors
will receive at maturity a return of 10.00%, or $1,100.00 per
$1,000 principal amount note. |
|
● |
Assuming a hypothetical Maximum Return of 54.20%, if the
closing level of the Index increases 60.00%, investors will receive
at maturity a return equal to the Maximum Return of 54.20%, or
$1,542.00 per $1,000 principal amount note, which is the maximum
payment at maturity. |
Par Scenario:
If the Final Value is equal to the Initial Value or is less than
the Initial Value by up to the Buffer Amount of 20.00%, investors
will receive at maturity the principal amount of their notes.
Downside Scenario:
If the Final Value is less than the Initial Value by more than the
Buffer Amount of 20.00%, investors will lose 1% of the principal
amount of their notes for every 1% that the Final Value is less
than the Initial Value by more than the Buffer Amount.
|
● |
For example, if the closing level of the Index declines 50.00%,
investors will lose
30.00%
of their principal amount and receive only
$700.00 per $1,000 principal amount note at maturity. |
The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the notes
shown above apply only if you hold the notes for their entire
term. These hypotheticals do not reflect 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.
|
● |
YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS —
The notes do not guarantee any return of principal. If the Final
Value is less than the Initial Value by more than 20.00%, you will
lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the
Final Value is less than the Initial Value by more than 20.00%.
Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose up to 80.00%
of your principal amount at maturity. |
|
● |
YOUR MAXIMUM GAIN ON THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO
THE MAXIMUM RETURN,
regardless of any appreciation of the Index, which may be
significant. |
|
● |
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. |
|
● |
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 NOTES DO NOT PAY INTEREST. |

YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE DIVIDENDS ON THE SECURITIES INCLUDED IN
THE INDEX OR HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THOSE

JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. IS CURRENTLY ONE OF THE COMPANIES
THAT MAKE UP THE S&P 500®
INDEX,
but JPMorgan Chase & Co. will not have any obligation to

affect the level of the Index. |
|
● |
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 FINAL TERMS AND VALUATION OF THE NOTES WILL BE PROVIDED
IN THE PRICING SUPPLEMENT —
You should consider your potential investment in the notes based on
the minimums for the estimated value of the notes and the Maximum
Return. |
|
● |
THE TAX DISCLOSURE IS SUBJECT TO CONFIRMATION —
The information set forth under “Tax Treatment” in this pricing
supplement remains subject to confirmation by our special tax
counsel following the pricing of the notes. If that information
cannot be confirmed by our tax counsel, you may be asked to accept
revisions to that information in connection with your purchase.
Under these circumstances, if you decline to accept revisions to
that information, your purchase of the notes will be canceled. |
|
● |
THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES WILL BE LOWER THAN THE
ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE (PRICE TO PUBLIC) OF THE NOTES —
The estimated value of the notes is only an estimate determined by
reference to several factors. The original issue price of the notes
will exceed the estimated value of the notes because costs
associated with 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. |
|
● |
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 level of the Index. Additionally, independent pricing
vendors and/or third party broker-dealers may publish a price for
the notes, which may also be reflected on customer account
statements. This price may be different (higher or lower) than the
price of the notes, if any, at which JPMS may be willing to
purchase your notes in the secondary market. See “Risk Factors —
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices
of the Notes — Secondary market prices of the notes will be
impacted by many economic and market factors” in the accompanying
product supplement. |
The Index
The S&P 500® Index consists of stocks of 500
companies selected to provide a performance benchmark for the U.S.
equity markets. For additional information about the S&P
500® Index, see “Equity Index Descriptions — The S&P
U.S. Indices” in the accompanying underlying supplement.
Historical Information
The following graph sets forth the historical performance of the
Index based on the weekly historical closing levels of the Index
from January 6, 2017 through January 21, 2022. The closing level of
the Index on January 27, 2022 was 4,326.51. We obtained the closing
levels above and below from the Bloomberg Professional®
service (“Bloomberg”), without independent verification.
The historical closing levels of the Index should not be taken as
an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given
as to the closing level of the Index on the Pricing Date or the
Observation Date. There can be no assurance that the performance of
the Index will result in the return of any of your principal amount
in excess of
$200.00 per $1,000 principal amount note, subject to the
credit risks of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Tax Treatment
You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S.
Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product
supplement no. 4-II. We expect to ask our special tax counsel to
provide an opinion substantially consistent with the following
discussion at pricing.
Based on current market conditions, it is reasonable to treat the
notes as “open transactions” that are not debt instruments for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, as more fully described in “Material
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Tax Consequences to U.S.
Holders — Notes Treated as Open Transactions That Are Not Debt
Instruments” in the accompanying product supplement. Assuming this
treatment is respected, the gain or loss on your notes should be
treated as long-term capital gain or loss if you hold your notes
for more than a year, whether or not you are an initial purchaser
of notes at the issue price. However, the IRS or a court may not
respect this treatment, in which case the timing and character of
any income or loss on the notes could be materially and adversely
affected. In addition, in 2007 Treasury and the IRS released a
notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment
of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice
focuses in particular on whether to require investors in these
instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It
also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the
character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; the
relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property
to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which
income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S.
investors should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these
instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive
ownership” regime, which very generally can operate to
recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income
and impose a notional interest charge. While the notice requests
comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any
Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after
consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect
the tax consequences of an investment in the notes, possibly with
retroactive effect. You should consult your tax adviser regarding
the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the
notes, including possible alternative treatments and the issues
presented by this notice.
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, we expect that Section 871(m)
will not apply to the notes with regard to Non-U.S. Holders. Our
determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree
with this determination. Section 871(m) is complex and its
application may depend on your particular circumstances, including
whether you enter into other transactions with respect to an
Underlying Security. If necessary, further information regarding
the potential application of Section 871(m) will be provided in the
pricing supplement for the notes. You should consult your tax
adviser regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to
the notes.
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 will be lower than the original
issue price of the notes because costs associated with selling,
structuring and hedging the notes are included in the original
issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling
commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated
dealers, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect
to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations
under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations
under the notes. Because hedging our obligations entails risk and
may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging
may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or it
may result in a loss. 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 Will Be
Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to Public) of the Notes”
in this pricing supplement.
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes
For information about factors that will impact any secondary market
prices of the notes, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the
Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes —
Secondary market prices of the notes will be impacted by many
economic and market factors” in the accompanying product
supplement. In addition, we generally expect that some of the costs
included in the original issue price of the notes will be partially
paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your notes
by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial
predetermined period. These costs can include 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 “Hypothetical Payout Profile” and “How the Notes Work”
in this pricing supplement for an illustration of the risk-return
profile of the notes and “The Index” in this pricing supplement for
a description of the market exposure provided by the notes.
The original issue price of the notes is equal to the estimated
value of the notes plus 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.
Additional Terms Specific to the Notes
You may revoke your offer to purchase the notes at any time prior
to the time at which we accept such offer by notifying the
applicable agent. We reserve the right to change the terms of, or
reject any offer to purchase, the notes prior to their issuance. In
the event of any changes to the terms of the notes, we will notify
you and you will be asked to accept such changes in connection with
your purchase. You may also choose to reject such changes, in which
case we may reject your offer to purchase.
