Payment at Maturity |
If the
Ending Index Level is greater than or equal to the Index Strike
Level or is less than the Index Strike Level by up to the
Contingent Buffer Amount, at maturity you will receive a cash
payment that provides you with a return per $1,000 principal amount
note equal to the Contingent Digital
Return. Accordingly, under these circumstances, your
payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be
calculated as follows: |
|
$1,000
+ ($1,000 × Contingent Digital Return) |
|
If the
Ending Index Level is less than the Index Strike Level by more than
the Contingent Buffer Amount, at maturity you will lose 1% of the
principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Ending Index
Level is less than the Index Strike Level. Under these
circumstances, your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount
note will be calculated as follows: |
|
$1,000
+ ($1,000 × Index Return) |
|
If the Ending Index Level is
less than the Index Strike Level by more than the Contingent Buffer
Amount of 25.00%, you will lose more than 25.00% of your principal
amount at maturity and may lose all of your principal amount at
maturity. |
Contingent Digital Return: |
At
least 9.65%*, which reflects the maximum return on the notes.
Accordingly, the maximum payment at maturity per $1,000 principal

What Is the Total Return on the Notes at Maturity, Assuming a
Range of Performances for the Index?
The following table and examples illustrate the hypothetical total
return and the hypothetical payment at maturity on the notes. 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. Each
hypothetical total return or payment at maturity set forth below
assumes an Index Strike Level of 3,900 and a Contingent Digital
Return of at least 9.65%, and reflects the Contingent Buffer Amount
of 25.00%. The actual maximum payment at maturity will be provided
in the pricing supplement and will not be less than $1,096.50 per
$1,000 principal amount note. Each hypothetical total return or
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 and in the examples below have been rounded for
ease of analysis.

Hypothetical Examples of Amount Payable at Maturity
The following examples illustrate how the total payment at maturity
in different hypothetical scenarios is calculated.
Example 1: The level of the Index increases from the Index
Strike Level of 3,900.00 to an Ending Index Level of
4,095.00.
Because the Ending Index Level of 4,095.00 is greater than the
Index Strike Level of 3,900.00, regardless of the Index Return, the
investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,096.50 per $1,000
principal amount note, calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × 9.65%) = $1,096.50
Example 2: The level of the Index decreases from the Index
Strike Level of 3,900.00 to an Ending Index Level of
2,925.00.
Although the Index Return is negative, because the Ending Index
Level of 2,925.00 is less than the Index Strike Level of 3,900.00
by up to the Contingent Buffer Amount of 25.00%, the investor
receives a payment at maturity of $1,096.50 per $1,000 principal
amount note, calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × 9.65%) = $1,096.50
Example 3: The level of the Index increases from the Index
Strike Level of 3,900.00 to an Ending Index Level of
5,460.00.
Because the Ending Index Level of 5,460.00 is greater than the
Index Strike Level of 3,900.00 and although the Index Return of
40.00% exceeds the Contingent Digital Return of 9.65%, the investor
is entitled to only the Contingent Digital Return and receives a
payment at maturity of $1,096.50 per $1,000 principal amount note,
calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × 9.65%) = $1,096.50
Example 4: The level of the Index decreases from the Index
Strike Level of 3,900.00 to an Ending Index Level of
1,950.00.
Because the Ending Index Level of 1,950.00 is less than the Index
Strike Level of 3,900.00 by more than the Contingent Buffer Amount
of 25.00% and the Index Return is -50.00%, the investor receives a
payment at maturity of $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. These hypotheticals do not reflect fees or expenses that
would be associated with any sale in the secondary market. If these
fees and expenses were included, the hypothetical returns and
hypothetical payments shown above would likely be lower.

Selected Purchase Considerations
|
· |
FIXED
APPRECIATION POTENTIAL — If the Ending Index Level is greater
than or equal to the Index Strike Level or is less than the Index
Strike Level by up to the Contingent Buffer Amount, you will
receive a fixed return equal to the Contingent Digital Return of at
least 9.65% at maturity, which also reflects the maximum return on
the notes at maturity. The actual maximum payment at maturity will
be provided in the pricing supplement and will not be less than
$1,096.50 per $1,000 principal amount note. Because the notes
are our unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, the payment of
which is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase
& Co., payment of any amount on the notes is subject to our
ability to pay our obligations as they become due and JPMorgan
Chase & Co.’s ability to pay its obligations as they become
due. |
|
· |
LOSS
OF PRINCIPAL BEYOND BUFFER AMOUNT — We will pay you the
Contingent Digital Return of at least 9.65% at maturity if the
Ending Index Level is greater than or equal to the Index Strike
Level or is less than the Index Strike Level by up to the
Contingent Buffer Amount of 25.00%. If the Ending Index Level is
less than the Index Strike Level by more than the Contingent Buffer
Amount, for every 1% that the Ending Index Level is less than the
Index Strike Level you will lose an amount equal to 1% of the
principal amount of your notes. Under these circumstances, you will
lose more than 25.00% of your principal amount at maturity and may
lose all of your principal amount at maturity. |

RETURN
LINKED TO THE S&P 500® 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. |
|
· |
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, Latham & Watkins LLP, regarding the
material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and
disposing of notes. |
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 (such an index, a “Qualified
Index”). 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.
Withholding under legislation commonly referred to as “FATCA” may
(if the notes are recharacterized as debt instruments) apply to
amounts treated as interest paid with respect to the notes, as well
as to payments of gross proceeds of a taxable disposition,
including redemption at maturity, of a note, although under
recently proposed regulations (the preamble to which specifies that
taxpayers are permitted to rely on them pending finalization), no
withholding will apply to payments of gross proceeds (other than
any amount treated as interest). You should consult your tax
adviser regarding the potential application of FATCA to the
notes.

Selected Risk Considerations
An investment in the notes involves significant risks. Investing in
the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Index or
any of the component securities of the Index. These risks are
explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” sections of the
accompanying prospectus supplement, the accompanying product
supplement and the accompanying 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. The return on the notes at
maturity is dependent on the performance of the Index and will
depend on whether, and the extent to which, the Ending Index Level
is less than the Index Strike Level. Your investment will be
exposed to a loss if the Ending Index Level is less than the Index
Strike Level by more than the Contingent Buffer Amount. In this
case, for every 1% that the Ending Index Level is less than the
Index Strike Level, you will lose an amount equal to 1% of the
principal amount of your notes. Under these circumstances, you will
lose more than 25.00% of your principal amount at maturity and may
lose all of your principal amount at maturity. |
|
· |
YOUR
MAXIMUM GAIN ON THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO THE CONTINGENT DIGITAL
RETURN — If the Ending Index Level is greater than or equal to
the Index Strike Level or is less than the Index Strike Level by up
to the Contingent Buffer Amount, for each $1,000 principal amount
note, you will receive at maturity $1,000 plus an additional
return equal to the Contingent Digital Return of at least 9.65%,
regardless of any appreciation of the Index, which may be
significant. |
|
· |
YOUR
ABILITY TO RECEIVE THE CONTINGENT DIGITAL RETURN MAY TERMINATE ON
THE FINAL ENDING AVERAGING DATE — If the Ending Index Level is
less than the Index Strike Level by more than the Contingent Buffer
Amount, you will not be entitled to receive the Contingent Digital
Return at maturity. Under these circumstances, you will lose more
than 25.00% of your principal amount at maturity and may lose all
of your principal amount at maturity. |
|
· |
CREDIT
RISKS OF JPMORGAN FINANCIAL AND JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. — The
notes are subject to our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s credit
risks, and our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s credit ratings and
credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the
notes. 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. |
|
· |
NO
INTEREST OR DIVIDEND PAYMENTS OR VOTING RIGHTS — As a holder of
the notes, you will not receive interest payments, and you will not
have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other
distributions or other rights that holders of the securities
included in the Index would have. |
|
· |
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
BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE CONTINGENT BUFFER AMOUNT MAY TERMINATE ON
THE FINAL ENDING AVERAGING DATE — If the Ending Index Level is
less than the Index Strike Level by more than the Contingent Buffer
Amount, the benefit provided by the Contingent Buffer Amount will
terminate and you will be fully exposed to any depreciation of the
Index from the Index Strike Level to the Ending Index
Level. |
|
· |
VOLATILITY
RISK — Greater expected volatility with respect to the Index
indicates a greater likelihood as of the Strike Date and the
Pricing Date that the Ending Index Level could be less than the
Index Strike Level by more than the Contingent Buffer Amount.
The Index’s volatility, however, can change significantly over the
term of the notes. The closing level of the Index could fall
sharply during the term of the notes, which could result in your
losing some or all of your principal amount at
maturity. |
|
· |
LACK
OF LIQUIDITY — The notes will not be listed on any securities
exchange. JPMS intends to offer to purchase the notes in the
secondary market but is not required to do so. Even if there is a
secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you
to trade or sell the notes easily. Because other dealers are not
likely to make a secondary market for the notes, the price at which
you may be able to trade your notes is likely to depend on the
price, if any, at which JPMS is willing to buy the
notes. |
|
· |
THE
FINAL TERMS AND VALUATION OF THE NOTES WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE
PRICING SUPPLEMENT — The final terms of the notes will be based
on relevant market conditions when the terms of the notes are set
and will be provided in the pricing supplement. In particular, the
estimated value of the notes will be provided in the pricing
supplement and may be as low as the minimum for the estimated value
of the notes set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement.
Accordingly, you should consider your potential investment in the
notes based on the minimum for the estimated value of the
notes. |
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest
|
· |
POTENTIAL
CONFLICTS — We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in
connection with the issuance of the notes, including acting as
calculation agent and as an agent of the offering of the notes,
hedging our obligations under the notes and making the assumptions
used to determine the pricing of the notes and the estimated value
of the notes when the terms of the notes are set, which we refer to
as the estimated value of the notes. In performing
these |
|
JPMorgan
Structured Investments — |

|
Digital
Contingent Buffered Notes Linked to the S&P 500®
Index |
|
duties, our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s economic interests and
the economic interests of the calculation agent and other
affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an
investor in the notes. In addition, our and JPMorgan Chase &
Co.’s business activities, including hedging and trading
activities, could cause our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s economic
interests to be adverse to yours and could adversely affect any
payment on the notes and the value of the notes. It is possible
that hedging or trading activities of ours or our affiliates in
connection with the notes could result in substantial returns for
us or our affiliates while the value of the notes declines. Please
refer to “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest”
in the accompanying product supplement for additional information
about these risks.
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market
Prices of the Notes
|
· |
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 — The estimated
value of the notes is determined by reference to internal pricing
models of our affiliates when the terms of the notes are set. This
estimated value of the notes is based on market conditions and
other relevant factors existing at that time and assumptions about
market parameters, which can include volatility, dividend rates,
interest rates and other factors. Different pricing models and
assumptions could provide valuations for the notes that are greater
than or less than the estimated value of the notes. In addition,
market conditions and other relevant factors in the future may
change, and any assumptions may prove to be incorrect. On future
dates, the value of the notes could change significantly based on,
among other things, changes in market conditions, our or JPMorgan
Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness, interest rate movements and
other relevant factors, which may impact the price, if any, at
which JPMS would be willing to buy notes from you in secondary
market transactions. See “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this
pricing supplement. |
|

THE
ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES IS DERIVED BY REFERENCE TO AN INTERNAL
FUNDING RATE — The internal funding rate used in the
determination of the estimated value of the notes 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.
These costs can include selling commissions, projected hedging
profits, if any, and, in some circumstances, estimated hedging
costs and our internal secondary market funding rates for
structured debt issuances. See “Secondary Market Prices of the
Notes” in this pricing supplement for additional information
relating to this initial period. Accordingly, the estimated value
of your notes during this initial period may be lower than the
value of the notes as published by JPMS (and which may be shown on
your customer account statements). |
|
· |
SECONDARY
MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL LIKELY BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL
ISSUE PRICE OF THE NOTES — Any secondary market prices of the
notes will likely be lower than the original issue price of the
notes because, among other things, secondary market prices take
into account our internal secondary market funding rates for
structured debt issuances and, also, because secondary market
prices 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 notes from you in secondary
market transactions, if at all, is likely to be lower than the
original issue price. Any sale by you prior to the Maturity Date
could result in a substantial loss to you. See the immediately
following risk consideration for information about additional
factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the
notes. |
The notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments.
Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your notes to
maturity. See “— Lack of Liquidity”.
|
· |
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 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. See “Selected Risk
Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Estimated Value of the
Notes Does Not Represent Future Values of the Notes and May Differ
from Others’ Estimates” in this pricing supplement.
The estimated value of the notes 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. We or one or more of our affiliates will
retain any profits realized in hedging our obligations under the
notes. See “Selected Risk

Notes Will Be Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to Public)

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 “What Is the Total Return on the Notes at Maturity,
Assuming a Range of Performances for the Index?” and “Hypothetical
Examples of Amount Payable at Maturity” in this pricing supplement
for an illustration of the risk-return profile of the notes and
“Selected Purchase Considerations — Return Linked to the S&P
500® 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.
