Hypothetical Payout Profile
The
following table illustrates the hypothetical total return and
payment at maturity on the notes linked to three hypothetical
Indices. 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 for the Least Performing Index of 100.00; |
|
● |
a Contingent Digital Return of 74.50%; and |
|
● |
a Barrier Amount for the Least Performing Index of 80.00 (equal
to 80.00% of its hypothetical Initial Value). |
The
hypothetical Initial Value of the Least Performing Index of 100.00
has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not
represent the actual Initial Value of any Index. The actual Initial
Value of each Index is the closing level of that Index on the
Pricing Date and is specified under “Key Terms – Initial Value” in
this pricing supplement. For historical data regarding the actual
closing levels of each Index, please see the historical information
set forth under “The Indices” 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 of each Index is greater than or equal to its Initial
Value, investors will receive at maturity the $1,000 principal
amount plus a return equal to the greater of (a) the
Contingent Digital Return of 74.50% and (b) the Least Performing
Index Return.
|
● |
If the closing level of the Least Performing Index increases
5.00%, investors will receive at maturity a 74.50% return, or
$1,745.00 per $1,000 principal amount note. |
|
● |
If the closing level of the Least Performing Index increases
50.00%, investors will receive at maturity a 50.00% return, or
$1,500.00 per $1,000 principal amount note. |
Par
Scenario:
If the
Final Value of any Index is less than its Initial Value but the
Final Value of each Index is greater than or equal to its Barrier
Amount of 80.00%
of its Initial Value, investors will receive at maturity the
principal amount of their notes.
Downside Scenario:
If the
Final Value of any Index is less than its Barrier Amount of 80.00%
of its Initial Value, investors will lose 1% of the principal
amount of their notes for every 1% that the Final Value of the
Least Performing Index is less than its Initial Value.
|
● |
For example, if the closing level of the Least Performing Index
declines 60.00%, investors will lose 60.00% of their principal
amount and receive only $400.00 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 of any Index is less than its Barrier Amount, you will lose
1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the
Final Value of the Least Performing Index is less than its Initial
Value. Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose more
than 20.00% of your principal amount at maturity and could lose all
of your principal amount at maturity. |
|
● |
YOUR ABILITY TO RECEIVE THE CONTINGENT DIGITAL RETURN MAY
TERMINATE ON THE OBSERVATION DATE— |
|
If |
the Final Value of any Index is less than its Initial Value,
you will not be entitled to receive the Contingent Digital Return
at maturity. |
|
● |
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. |
|
● |
JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. IS CURRENTLY ONE OF THE COMPANIES
THAT MAKE UP THE DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL
AVERAGE™,
but JPMorgan Chase & Co. will not have any obligation to
consider your interests in taking any corporate action that might
affect the level of the Dow Jones Industrial Average™. |

and the Russell 2000® Index
|
 |
|
● |
AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES IS SUBJECT TO RISKS ASSOCIATED
WITH SMALL CAPITALIZATION STOCKS WITH RESPECT TO THE RUSSELL
2000® INDEX —
Small
capitalization companies may be less able to withstand adverse
economic, market, trade and competitive conditions relative to
larger companies. Small capitalization companies are less likely to
pay dividends on their stocks, and the presence of a dividend
payment could be a factor that limits downward stock price pressure
under adverse market conditions. |
|
● |
NON-U.S. SECURITIES RISK WITH RESPECT TO THE NASDAQ-100
INDEX® —
Some of the equity securities included in the NASDAQ-100
Index® have been issued by non-U.S.
companies. Investments in securities linked to the value of
such non-U.S. equity securities involve risks associated with the
securities markets in the home countries of the issuers of those
non-U.S. equity securities. 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. |
|
● |
YOU ARE EXPOSED TO THE RISK OF DECLINE IN THE LEVEL OF EACH
INDEX —
Payments on the notes are not linked to a basket composed of the
Indices and are contingent upon the performance of each individual
Index. Poor performance by any of the Indices over the term of the
notes may negatively affect your payment at maturity and will not
be offset or mitigated by positive performance by any other
Index. |
|
● |
YOUR PAYMENT AT MATURITY WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE LEAST
PERFORMING INDEX. |
|
● |
THE BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE BARRIER AMOUNT MAY TERMINATE ON
THE OBSERVATION DATE —
If the Final Value of any Index is less than its Barrier Amount,
the benefit provided by the Barrier Amount will terminate and you
will be fully exposed to any depreciation of the Least Performing
Index. |
|
● |
THE NOTES DO NOT PAY INTEREST. |
|
● |
YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE DIVIDENDS ON THE SECURITIES INCLUDED IN
ANY INDEX OR HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THOSE
SECURITIES. |
|
● |
THE RISK OF THE CLOSING LEVEL OF AN INDEX FALLING BELOW ITS
BARRIER AMOUNT IS GREATER IF THE LEVEL OF THAT INDEX 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 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 levels of the Indices. 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

Tax Treatment
You
should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal
Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no.
4-II. The following discussion, when read in combination with that
section, constitutes the full opinion of our special tax counsel,
Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, regarding the material U.S. federal
income tax consequences of owning and disposing of notes.
PS-

| Structured Investments
Uncapped Digital Barrier Notes Linked to the Least Performing of
the Dow Jones Industrial Average™, the NASDAQ-100 Index®
and the Russell 2000® Index
|
 |
Based
on current market conditions, in the opinion of our special tax
counsel it is reasonable to treat the notes as “open transactions”
that are not debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
as more fully described in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax
Consequences — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Notes Treated as
Open Transactions That Are Not Debt Instruments” in the
accompanying product supplement. 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, 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.
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 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 “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 Indices” 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.
