Structured Investments |
$2,275,000 Capped Buffered Return Enhanced Notes Linked to Grade A Copper due September 8, 2026 Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. |
General
· | The notes are designed for investors who seek a return of 1.50 times the appreciation of copper, up to a maximum return of 40.65%, at maturity. |
· | Investors should be willing to forgo interest payments and, if the Final Value is less than the Strike Value by more than the Buffer Percentage of 15.00%, be willing to lose some or all of their principal amount at maturity. |
· | 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 $10,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof |
Key Terms
Issuer: | JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, a direct, wholly owned finance subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. |
Guarantor: | JPMorgan Chase & Co. |
Commodity: | The spot price of Grade A Copper (Bloomberg ticker: LOCADY) |
Payment at Maturity: |
If the Final Value is greater than the Strike Value, at maturity you will receive a cash payment that provides you with a return per $1,000 principal amount note equal to the Commodity Return multiplied by 1.50, subject to the Maximum Return. Accordingly, under these circumstances, your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows: |
$1,000 + ($1,000 × Commodity Return × 1.50), subject to the Maximum Return | |
If the Final Value is equal to the Strike Value or is less than the Strike Value by up to the Buffer Percentage, you will receive the principal amount of your notes at maturity. | |
If the Final Value is less than the Strike Value by more than the Buffer Percentage, at maturity you will lose 1.17647% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Final Value is less than the Strike Value by more than the Buffer Percentage. Under these circumstances, your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows: $1,000 + [$1,000 × (Commodity Return + Buffer Percentage) × Downside Leverage Factor] If the Final Value is less than the Strike Value by more than the Buffer Percentage, you will lose some or all of your principal amount at maturity. |
|
Upside Leverage Factor: | 1.50 |
Maximum Return: | 40.65%. For example, if the Commodity Return is equal to or greater than 27.10%, you will receive the Maximum Return of 40.65%, which entitles you to a maximum payment at maturity of $1,406.50 per $1,000 principal amount note. |
Buffer Percentage: | 15.00% |
Downside Leverage Factor: | 1.17647 |
Commodity Return: |
(Final Value - Strike Value) Strike Value |
Strike Value: | $8,983.00, which is a price determined by reference to certain intraday prices of the Commodity on the Strike Date. The Strike Value is not determined by reference to the Commodity Price on the Strike Date or the Pricing Date. We and our affiliates are under no obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the notes in making any determinations in connection with setting the Strike Value. See "Selected Risk Considerations - Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest - Potential Conflicts" in this pricing supplement for more information. |

What Is the Total Return on the Notes at Maturity, Assuming a Range of Performances for the Commodity?
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 a Strike Value of $100 and reflects the Maximum Return of 40.65%, the Upside Leverage Factor of 1.50, the Buffer Percentage of 15.00% and the Downside Leverage Factor of 1.17647. 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.
The hypothetical Strike Value of $100 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual Strike Value. The actual Strike Value has been determined based on certain intraday prices on the Strike Date and is specified under "Key Terms - Strike Value" in this pricing supplement. For historical data regarding the actual Commodity Prices, please see the historical information set forth under "Historical Information" in this pricing supplement.

Hypothetical Examples of Amount Payable at Maturity
The following examples illustrate how the payment at maturity in different hypothetical scenarios is calculated.
Example 1: The price of the Commodity increases from the Strike Value of $100 to a Final Value of $102.50.
Because the Final Value of $102.50 is greater than the Strike Value of $100 and the Commodity Return is 2.50%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,037.50 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × 2.50% × 1.50) = $1,037.50
Example 2: The price of the Commodity decreases from the Strike Value of $100 to a Final Value of $85.
Although the Commodity Return is negative, because the Final Value of $85 is less than the Strike Value of $100 by up to the Buffer Percentage of 15.00%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.
Example 3: The price of the Commodity increases from the Strike Value of $100 to a Final Value of $160.
Because the Final Value of $160 is greater than the Strike Value of $100 and the Commodity Return of 60% multiplied by the Upside Leverage Factor of 1.50 exceeds the Maximum Return of 40.65%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,406.50 per $1,000 principal amount note, the maximum payment at maturity.
Example 4: The price of the Commodity decreases from the Strike Value of $100 to a Final Value of $40.
Because the Final Value of $40 is less than the Strike Value of $100 by more than the Buffer Percentage of 15.00% and the Commodity Return is -60%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $470.59 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:
$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-60% + 15%) × 1.17647] = $470.59
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
· | CAPPED APPRECIATION POTENTIAL - The notes provide the opportunity to enhance returns by multiplying a positive Commodity Return by 1.50, up to the Maximum Return of 40.65%. Accordingly, the maximum payment at maturity is $1,406.50 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. |
· | LIMITED PROTECTION AGAINST LOSS - We will pay you your principal back at maturity if the Final Value is equal to the Strike Value or is less than the Strike Value by up to the Buffer Percentage of 15.00%. If the Final Value is less than the Strike Value by more than the Buffer Percentage, you will lose 1.17647% of your principal amount at maturity for every 1% that the Final Value is less than the Strike Value by more than the Buffer Percentage. Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose some or all of your principal amount at maturity. |
· | RETURN LINKED TO THE PERFORMANCE OF COPPER - The return on the notes is linked to the performance of copper. For additional information about the Commodity, see the information set forth under "The Underlyings - Commodities" 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. 2-I. 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. |
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.
Selected Risk Considerations
An investment in the notes involves significant risks. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Commodity or in any exchange-traded or over-the-counter instruments based on, or other instruments linked to, the Commodity. These risks are explained in more detail in the "Risk Factors" sections of the accompanying prospectus supplement and the accompanying product supplement and in Annex A to the accompanying prospectus addendum.
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 at maturity. The return on the notes at maturity is linked to the performance of the Commodity and will depend on whether, and the extent to which, the Commodity Return is positive or negative. Your investment will be exposed to a loss on a leveraged basis if the Final Value is less than the Strike Value by more than the Buffer Percentage. In this case, for every 1% that the Final Value is less than the Strike Value by more than the Buffer Percentage, you will lose an amount equal to 1.17647% of the principal amount of your notes. Under these circumstances, you will lose some or all of your principal amount at maturity. |
· | YOUR MAXIMUM GAIN ON THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM RETURN - If the Final Value is greater than the Strike Value, for each $1,000 principal amount note, you will receive at maturity $1,000 plus an additional return that will not exceed the Maximum Return of 40.65%, regardless of the appreciation of the Commodity, which may be significant. |
· | 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 |
JPMorgan Structured Investments - | PS- 4 |
Capped Buffered Return Enhanced Notes Linked to Grade A Copper |
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 and the collection of intercompany obligations. Aside from the initial capital contribution from JPMorgan Chase & Co., substantially all of our assets relate to obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. to make payments under loans made by us to JPMorgan Chase & Co. or under other intercompany agreements. As a result, we are dependent upon payments from JPMorgan Chase & Co. to meet our obligations under the notes. We are not a key operating subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and in a bankruptcy or resolution of JPMorgan Chase & Co. we are not expected to have sufficient resources to meet our obligations in respect of the notes as they come due. If JPMorgan Chase & Co. does not make payments to us and we are unable 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. For more information, see the accompanying prospectus addendum. |
· | OWNING THE NOTES IS NOT THE SAME AS OWNING THE COMMODITY OR COMMODITY-RELATED FUTURES CONTRACTS DIRECTLY - The return on your notes will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually purchased the Commodity or exchange-traded or over-the-counter instruments based on the Commodity. You will not have any rights that holders of such assets or instruments have. |
· | NO INTEREST PAYMENTS - As a holder of the notes, you will not receive any interest payments. |
· | 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. |
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 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. |
We and our affiliates are under no obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the notes in making any determinations in connection with setting the Strike Value. The value of the notes may be affected by the level of the Strike Value.
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes
· | THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES IS LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE (PRICE TO PUBLIC) OF THE NOTES - The estimated value of the notes is only an estimate determined by reference to several factors. The original issue price of the notes exceeds the estimated value of the notes because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the notes are included in the original issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling commissions, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. See "The Estimated Value of the Notes" in this pricing supplement. |
· | THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE VALUES OF THE NOTES AND MAY DIFFER FROM OTHERS' ESTIMATES - 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, 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 |
JPMorgan Structured Investments - | PS- 5 |
Capped Buffered Return Enhanced Notes Linked to Grade A Copper |
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 "- Risks Relating to the Notes Generally - Lack of Liquidity" above.
· | SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL BE IMPACTED BY MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS - The secondary market price of the notes during their term will be impacted by a number of economic and market factors, which may either offset or magnify each other, aside from the selling commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, estimated hedging costs and the price of the Commodity, including: |
· | any actual or potential change in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s creditworthiness or credit spreads; |
· | customary bid-ask spreads for similarly sized trades; |
· | our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances; |
· | the actual and expected volatility in the Commodity Price; |
· | supply and demand trends for the Commodity; |
· | the time to maturity of the notes; |
· | interest and yield rates in the market generally; and |
· | a variety of other economic, financial, political, regulatory, geographical, agricultural, meteorological and judicial events. |
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.
Risks Relating to the Commodity
· | INVESTMENTS RELATED TO THE PRICES OF THE COMMODITY MAY BE MORE VOLATILE THAN TRADITIONAL SECURITIES INVESTMENTS - The price of copper is subject to variables that may be less significant to the prices of traditional securities such as stocks and bonds, and where the return on the securities is not related to commodities. Variables such as those described under "- The Market Price of Copper Will Affect the Value of the Notes" below may have a larger impact on the price of the Commodity than on traditional securities. These additional variables may create additional investment risks that may cause the price of the Commodity to move in unpredictable and unanticipated directions and at unpredictable or unanticipated rates and cause the value of the notes to be more volatile than the prices of traditional securities. |
· | THE MARKET PRICE OF COPPER WILL AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES - Because the notes are linked to copper, we expect that generally the market value of the notes will depend in part on the market price of copper. The price of copper is primarily affected by the global demand for and supply of copper, but is also influenced significantly from time to time by speculative actions and by currency exchange rates. Demand for copper is significantly influenced by the level of global industrial economic activity. Industrial sectors that are particularly important to demand for copper include the electrical and construction sectors. In recent years, demand has been supported by strong consumption from newly industrializing countries due to their copper-intensive economic growth and industrial development. An additional, but highly volatile, component of demand is adjustments to inventory in response to changes in economic activity and/or pricing levels. There are substitutes for copper in various applications. Their availability and price will also affect demand for copper. Apart from the United States, Canada, Australia and Poland, the majority of copper concentrate supply (the raw material) comes from outside the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development countries. The supply of copper is also affected by current and previous price levels, which will influence investment decisions in new smelters. In previous years, copper supply has been affected by strikes, financial problems and terrorist activity. It is not possible to predict the aggregate effect of all or any combination of these factors. |

· | SINGLE COMMODITY PRICES TEND TO BE MORE VOLATILE THAN, AND MAY NOT CORRELATE WITH, THE PRICES OF COMMODITIES GENERALLY - The notes are linked to a single commodity and are not linked to a diverse basket of commodities or a broad-based commodity index. The price of the Commodity may not correlate with, and may diverge significantly from, the prices of commodities generally. Because the notes are linked to a single commodity, they carry greater risk and may be more volatile than notes linked to the prices of multiple commodities or a broad-based commodity index. |
· | ON THE OBSERVATION DATE, THE COPPER PRICE IS DETERMINED BY REFERENCE TO THE OFFICIAL CASH SETTLEMENT PRICE OF COPPER AS DETERMINED BY THE LME, AND THERE ARE CERTAIN RISKS RELATING TO THE COPPER PRICE BEING DETERMINED BY THE LME - The Commodity Price of copper will be determined by reference to the official cash settlement price of copper as determined by the LME. The LME is a principals' market that operates in a manner more closely analogous to the over-the-counter physical commodity markets than regulated futures markets. For example, there are no daily price limits on the LME, which would otherwise restrict the extent of daily fluctuations in the prices of LME contracts. In a declining market, therefore, it is possible that prices would continue to decline without limitation within a trading day or over a period of trading days. In addition, a contract may be entered into on the LME calling for delivery on any day from one day to three months following the date of that contract and for monthly delivery up to 123 months forward following that third month, in contrast to trading on futures exchanges, which call for delivery in stated delivery months. As a result, there may be a greater risk of a concentration of positions in LME contracts on particular delivery dates, which in turn could cause temporary aberrations in the prices of LME contracts for certain delivery dates. If such aberrations occur during the term of the notes, the official cash settlement prices of copper and, consequently, the Commodity Return, could be adversely affected. The LME has no obligation to consider your interests in calculating or revising the official cash settlement price of copper. |

Historical Information
The following graph sets forth the historical weekly performance of the Commodity from January 4, 2019 through August 9, 2024. The Commodity Price on August 15, 2024 was $9,009.00.
We obtained the Commodity Prices above and below from Bloomberg, without independent verification. The historical Commodity Prices should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the Commodity Price on the Observation Date. There can be no assurance that the performance of the Commodity will result in the return of any of your principal amount.
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, 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 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. We or one or more of our affiliates will retain any profits realized in hedging our obligations under the notes. See "Selected Risk Considerations - Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes - The Estimated Value of the Notes Is Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to Public) of the Notes" in this pricing supplement.

Secondary Market Prices of the Notes
For information about factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the notes, see "Selected Risk Considerations - 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 this pricing 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 that 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."
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 Commodity?" 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 Performance of Copper" 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.
