Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Lesser
Performing of the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM and
the VanEck® Gold Miners ETF due December 23, 2027
Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
● The notes are designed for investors who seek a Contingent Interest Payment with respect to each Review Date for which
the closing value of each of the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM and the VanEck® Gold Miners ETF, which we
refer to as the Underlyings, is greater than or equal to 70.00% of its Initial Value, which we refer to as an Interest Barrier.
● The notes may be redeemed early, in whole but not in part, at our option on any of the Interest Payment Dates (other than
the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and final Interest Payment Dates).
● The earliest date on which the notes may be redeemed early is June 25, 2025.
● Investors should be willing to accept the risk of losing some or all of their principal and the risk that no Contingent Interest
Payment may be made with respect to some or all Review Dates.
● Investors should also be willing to forgo fixed interest and dividend payments, in exchange for the opportunity to receive
Contingent Interest Payments.
● The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, which we refer to as
JPMorgan Financial, the payment on which is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. Any
payment on the notes is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial, as issuer of the notes, and the credit risk
of JPMorgan Chase & Co., as guarantor of the notes.

performance of each of the Underlyings individually, as described below.
● Minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof
● The notes are expected to price on or about December 20, 2024 and are expected to settle on or about December 26, 2024.

Hypothetical Payout Examples
The following examples illustrate payments on the notes linked to two hypothetical Underlyings, assuming a range of performances for
the hypothetical Lesser Performing Underlying on the Review Dates. Solely for purposes of this section, the Lesser Performing
Underlying with respect to each Review Date is the lesser performing of the Underlyings determined based on the closing
value of the Underlying on that Review Date compared with its Initial Value.
The hypothetical payments set forth below assume the following:
● the notes have not been redeemed early;
● an Initial Value for each Underlying of 100.00;
● an Interest Barrier and a Trigger Value for each Underlying of 70.00 (equal to 70.00% of its hypothetical Initial Value); and
● a Contingent Interest Rate of 10.20% per annum (payable at a rate of 0.85% per month).
PS-6| Structured Investments
Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Lesser Performing of the
Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM and the VanEck® Gold Miners
ETF
The hypothetical Initial Value of each Underlying of 100.00 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and may not represent a
likely actual Initial Value of either Underlying.
The actual Initial Value of each Underlying will be the closing value of that Underlying on the Pricing Date and will be provided in the
pricing supplement. For historical data regarding the actual closing values of each Underlying, please see the historical information set
forth under "The Underlyings" in this pricing supplement.
Each hypothetical payment set forth below is for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual payment applicable to a purchaser
of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.
Example 1 - Notes have NOT been redeemed early and the Final Value of the Lesser Performing Underlying is
greater than or equal to its Trigger Value.

Final Review Date

$1,008.50
Total Payment
$1,025.50 (2.55% return)
Because the notes have not been redeemed early and the Final Value of the Lesser Performing Underlying is greater than or equal to
its Trigger Value, the payment at maturity, for each $1,000 principal amount note, will be $1,008.50 (or $1,000 plus the Contingent
Interest Payment applicable to the final Review Date). When added to the Contingent Interest Payments received with respect to the
prior Review Dates, the total amount paid, for each $1,000 principal amount note, is $1,025.50.
Example 2 - Notes have NOT been redeemed early and the Final Value of the Lesser Performing Underlying is
less than its Trigger Value.
Date
Closing Value of Lesser
Performing Underlying

Review Dates

Barrier
$0
Final Review Date
40.00
$400.00
Total Payment
$400.00 (-60.00% return)
Because the notes have not been redeemed early, the Final Value of the Lesser Performing Underlying is less than its Trigger Value
and the Lesser Performing Underlying Return is -60.00%, the payment at maturity will be $400.00 per $1,000 principal amount note,
calculated as follows:
$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-60.00%)] = $400.00
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 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 and product supplement and in Annex A to the accompanying prospectus addendum.
● YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS -
The notes do not guarantee any return of principal. If the notes have not been redeemed early and the Final Value of either
Underlying is less than its Trigger Value, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Final Value of
the Lesser Performing Underlying is less than its Initial Value. Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose more than
30.00% of your principal amount at maturity and could lose all of your principal amount at maturity.
PS-7| Structured Investments
Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Lesser Performing of the
Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM and the VanEck® Gold Miners
ETF
● THE NOTES DO NOT GUARANTEE THE PAYMENT OF INTEREST AND MAY NOT PAY ANY INTEREST AT ALL -
If the notes have not been redeemed early, we will make a Contingent Interest Payment with respect to a Review Date only if the
closing value of each Underlying on that Review Date is greater than or equal to its Interest Barrier. If the closing value of either
Underlying on that Review Date is less than its Interest Barrier, no Contingent Interest Payment will be made with respect to that
Review Date. Accordingly, if the closing value of either Underlying on each Review Date is less than its Interest Barrier, you will not
receive any interest payments over the term of the notes.
● CREDIT RISKS OF JPMORGAN FINANCIAL AND JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. -
Investors are dependent on our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s ability to pay all amounts due on the notes. Any actual or potential
change in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s creditworthiness or credit spreads, as determined by the market for taking that credit
risk, is likely to adversely affect the value of the notes. If we and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were to default on our payment
obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the notes and you could lose your entire investment.
● AS A FINANCE SUBSIDIARY, JPMORGAN FINANCIAL HAS NO INDEPENDENT OPERATIONS AND HAS LIMITED ASSETS
-
As a finance subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co., we have no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of
our securities 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.
● THE APPRECIATION POTENTIAL OF THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO THE SUM OF ANY CONTINGENT INTEREST PAYMENTS
THAT MAY BE PAID OVER THE TERM OF THE NOTES,
regardless of any appreciation of either Underlying, which may be significant. You will not participate in any appreciation of either
Underlying.
● 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.
● THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FUND -
The Fund is subject to management risk, which is the risk that the investment strategies of the Fund's investment adviser, the
implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. These constraints could
adversely affect the market price of the shares of the Fund and, consequently, the value of the notes.
● THE PERFORMANCE AND MARKET VALUE OF THE FUND, PARTICULARLY DURING PERIODS OF MARKET VOLATILITY,
MAY NOT CORRELATE WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND'S UNDERLYING INDEX AS WELL AS THE NET ASSET
VALUE PER SHARE -
The Fund does not fully replicate its Underlying Index (as defined under "The Underlyings" below) and may hold securities different
from those included in its Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of the Fund will reflect additional transaction costs and
fees that are not included in the calculation of its Underlying Index. All of these factors may lead to a lack of correlation between
the performance of the Fund and its Underlying Index. In addition, corporate actions with respect to the equity securities underlying
the Fund (such as mergers and spin-offs) may impact the variance between the performances of the Fund and its Underlying
Index. Finally, because the shares of the Fund are traded on a securities exchange and are subject to market supply and investor
demand, the market value of one share of the Fund may differ from the net asset value per share of the Fund.
During periods of market volatility, securities underlying the Fund may be unavailable in the secondary market, market participants
may be unable to calculate accurately the net asset value per share of the Fund and the liquidity of the Fund may be adversely
affected. This kind of market volatility may also disrupt the ability of market participants to create and redeem shares of the Fund.
Further, market volatility may adversely affect, sometimes materially, the prices at which market participants are willing to buy and
sell shares of the Fund. As a result, under these circumstances, the market value of shares of the Fund may vary substantially from
the net asset value per share of the Fund. For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of the Fund may not correlate with the
performance of its Underlying Index as well as the net asset value per share of the Fund, which could materially and adversely
affect the value of the notes in the secondary market and/or reduce any payment on the notes.
● NON-U.S. SECURITIES RISK -
The non-U.S. equity securities included in or held by the Underlyings 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 home countries and/or the
securities markets in the home countries of the issuers of those non-U.S. equity securities. Also, with respect to equity securities
that are not listed in the U.S., 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.
PS-8| Structured Investments
Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Lesser Performing of the
Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM and the VanEck® Gold Miners
ETF
● THE NOTES ARE SUBJECT TO CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK WITH RESPECT TO THE FUND -
Because the prices of the non-U.S. equity securities held by the Fund are converted into U.S. dollars for purposes of calculating
the net asset value of the Fund, holders of the notes will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the
currencies in which the non-U.S. equity securities held by the Fund trade. Your net exposure will depend on the extent to which
those currencies strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar and the relative weight of equity securities held by the Fund
denominated in each of those currencies. If, taking into account the relevant weighting, the U.S. dollar strengthens against those
currencies, the price of the Fund will be adversely affected and any payment on the notes may be reduced.
● RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TECHNOLOGY SECTOR WITH RESPECT TO THE INDEX -
All or substantially all of the equity securities included in the Index are issued by companies whose primary line of business is
directly associated with the technology sector. As a result, the value of the notes may be subject to greater volatility and be more
adversely affected by a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting this sector than a different investment linked to
securities of a more broadly diversified group of issuers. The value of stocks of technology companies and companies that rely
heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence,
government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with
lower production costs. Stocks of technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of
smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Technology companies are heavily dependent
on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability. Additionally, companies
in the technology sector may face dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of
qualified personnel. These factors could affect the technology sector and could affect the value of the equity securities included in
the Index and the level of the Index during the term of the notes, which may adversely affect the value of your notes.
● RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE GOLD AND SILVER MINING INDUSTRIES WITH RESPECT TO THE FUND -
All or substantially all of the equity securities held by the Fund are issued by companies whose primary line of business is directly
associated with the gold and/or silver mining industries. As a result, the value of the notes may be subject to greater volatility and
be more adversely affected by a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting these industries than a different
investment linked to securities of a more broadly diversified group of issuers. Investments related to gold and silver are considered
speculative and are affected by a variety of factors. Competitive pressures may have a significant effect on the financial condition
of gold and silver mining companies. Also, gold and silver mining companies are highly dependent on the price of gold and silver
bullion, respectively, but may also be adversely affected by a variety of worldwide economic, financial and political factors. The
price of gold and silver may fluctuate substantially over short periods of time, so the Fund's share price may be more volatile than
other types of investments. Fluctuation in the prices of gold and silver may be due to a number of factors, including changes in
inflation, changes in currency exchange rates and changes in industrial and commercial demand for metals (including fabricator
demand). Additionally, increased environmental or labor costs may depress the value of metal investments. These factors could
affect the gold and silver mining industries and could affect the value of the equity securities held by the Fund and the price of the
Fund during the term of the notes, which may adversely affect the value of your notes.
● YOU ARE EXPOSED TO THE RISK OF DECLINE IN THE VALUE OF EACH UNDERLYING -
Payments on the notes are not linked to a basket composed of the Underlyings and are contingent upon the performance of each
individual Underlying. Poor performance by either of the Underlyings over the term of the notes may negatively affect whether you
will receive a Contingent Interest Payment on any Interest Payment Date and your payment at maturity and will not be offset or
mitigated by positive performance by the other Underlying.
● YOUR PAYMENT AT MATURITY WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE LESSER PERFORMING UNDERLYING.
● THE BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE TRIGGER VALUE MAY TERMINATE ON THE FINAL REVIEW DATE -
If the Final Value of either Underlying is less than its Trigger Value and the notes have not been redeemed early, the benefit
provided by the Trigger Value will terminate and you will be fully exposed to any depreciation of the Lesser Performing Underlying.
● THE OPTIONAL EARLY REDEMPTION FEATURE MAY FORCE A POTENTIAL EARLY EXIT -
If we elect to redeem your notes early, the term of the notes may be reduced to as short as approximately six months and you will
not receive any Contingent Interest Payments after the applicable Interest Payment Date. There is no guarantee that you would be
able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the notes at a comparable return and/or with a comparable interest rate for a
similar level of risk. Even in cases where we elect to redeem your notes before maturity, you are not entitled to any fees and
commissions described on the front cover of this pricing supplement.
● YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE DIVIDENDS ON THE FUND OR THE SECURITIES INCLUDED IN OR HELD BY EITHER
UNDERLYING OR HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THE FUND OR THOSE SECURITIES.
● THE ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION FOR THE FUND IS LIMITED -
The calculation agent will make adjustments to the Share Adjustment Factor for certain events affecting the shares of the Fund.
However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment in response to all events that could affect the shares of the Fund. If an
event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to make an adjustment, the value of the notes may be materially and
adversely affected.
● THE RISK OF THE CLOSING VALUE OF AN UNDERLYING FALLING BELOW ITS INTEREST BARRIER OR TRIGGER
VALUE IS GREATER IF THE VALUE OF THAT UNDERLYING 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 FINAL TERMS AND VALUATION OF THE NOTES WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE PRICING SUPPLEMENT -
You should consider your potential investment in the notes based on the minimums for the estimated value of the notes and the
Contingent Interest Rate.

● THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES WILL BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE (PRICE TO PUBLIC) OF
THE NOTES -
The estimated value of the notes is only an estimate determined by reference to several factors. The original issue price of the
notes will exceed the estimated value of the notes because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the notes are
included in the original issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling commissions, the projected profits, if any, that our
affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging
our obligations under the notes. See "The Estimated Value of the Notes" in this pricing supplement.
● THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE VALUES OF THE NOTES AND MAY DIFFER
FROM OTHERS' ESTIMATES -
See "The Estimated Value of the Notes" in this pricing supplement.
● THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES IS DERIVED BY REFERENCE TO AN INTERNAL FUNDING RATE -
The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied funding
rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference may
be based on, among other things, our and our affiliates' view of the funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance,
operational and ongoing liability management costs of the notes in comparison to those costs for the conventional fixed income
instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions, which may
prove to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use of an
internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any
secondary market prices of the notes. See "The Estimated Value of the Notes" in this pricing supplement.
● THE VALUE OF THE NOTES AS PUBLISHED BY JPMS (AND WHICH MAY BE REFLECTED ON CUSTOMER ACCOUNT
STATEMENTS) MAY BE HIGHER THAN THE THEN-CURRENT ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES FOR A LIMITED TIME
PERIOD -
We generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the notes will be partially paid back to you in
connection with any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period.
See "Secondary Market Prices of the Notes" in this pricing supplement for additional information relating to this initial period.
Accordingly, the estimated value of your notes during this initial period may be lower than the value of the notes as published by
JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer account statements).
● SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL LIKELY BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE OF THE
NOTES -
Any secondary market prices of the notes will likely be lower than the original issue price of the notes because, among other
things, secondary market prices take into account our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances and,
also, because secondary market prices may exclude selling commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, and estimated hedging
costs that are included in the original issue price of the notes. As a result, the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy the
notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, is likely to be lower than the original issue price. Any sale by you prior to
the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you.
● SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL BE IMPACTED BY MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS -
The secondary market price of the notes during their term will be impacted by a number of economic and market factors, which
may either offset or magnify each other, aside from the selling commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, estimated hedging
costs and the values of the Underlyings. 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 Underlyings
The Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM is an equal-weighted, price-return index designed to measure the performance of the
technology companies in the Nasdaq-100 Index®. For additional information about the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM, see
Annex A in this pricing supplement.
The VanEck® Gold Miners ETF is an exchange-traded fund of the VanEck® ETF Trust, a registered investment company, that seeks to
replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index, which
we refer to as the Underlying Index with respect to the VanEck® Gold Miners ETF. The NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index is a modified
market capitalization weighted index composed of publicly traded companies involved primarily in the mining of gold or silver. For
additional information about the VanEck® Gold Miners ETF, see "Fund Descriptions - The VanEck® ETFs" in the accompanying
underlying supplement.
Historical Information
The following graphs set forth the historical performance of each Underlying based on the weekly historical closing values from January
4, 2019 through December 13, 2024. The closing value of the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM on December 16, 2024 was
11,019.47. The closing value of the VanEck® Gold Miners ETF on December 16, 2024 was $36.42. We obtained the closing values
above and below from the Bloomberg Professional® service ("Bloomberg"), without independent verification. The closing values of the
Fund above and below may have been adjusted by Bloomberg for actions taken by the Fund, such as stock splits.
The historical closing values of each Underlying should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be
given as to the closing value of either Underlying on the Pricing Date or any Review Date. There can be no assurance that the
performance of the Underlyings will result in the return of any of your principal amount or the payment of any interest.

Tax Treatment
You should review carefully the section entitled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the accompanying product
supplement no. 4-I. In determining our reporting responsibilities we intend to treat (i) the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes as
prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons and (ii) any Contingent Interest Payments as ordinary income, as
described in the section entitled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences - Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders - Notes
Treated as Prepaid Forward Contracts with Associated Contingent Coupons" in the accompanying product supplement. Based on the
advice of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, our special tax counsel, we believe that this is a reasonable treatment, but that there are other
reasonable treatments that the IRS or a court may adopt, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the notes
could be materially affected. In addition, in 2007 Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal
income tax treatment of "prepaid forward contracts" and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require
investors in these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related
topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments and the relevance of factors such as the nature of the
underlying property to which the instruments are linked. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and
effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially affect the
tax consequences of an investment in the notes, possibly with retroactive effect. The discussions above and in the accompanying
product supplement do not address the consequences to taxpayers subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the
Code. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including
possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the notice described above.

Non-U.S. Holders - Tax Considerations. The U.S. federal income tax treatment of Contingent Interest Payments is uncertain, and
although we believe it is reasonable to take a position that Contingent Interest Payments are not subject to U.S. withholding tax (at
least if an applicable Form W-8 is provided), it is expected that withholding agents will (and we, if we are the withholding agent, intend
to) withhold on any Contingent Interest Payment paid to a Non-U.S. Holder generally at a rate of 30% or at a reduced rate specified by
an applicable income tax treaty under an "other income" or similar provision. We will not be required to pay any additional amounts with
respect to amounts withheld. In order to claim an exemption from, or a reduction in, the 30% withholding tax, a Non-U.S. Holder of the
notes must comply with certification requirements to establish that it is not a U.S. person and is eligible for such an exemption or
reduction under an applicable tax treaty. If you are a Non-U.S. Holder, you should consult your tax adviser regarding the tax treatment
of the notes, including the possibility of obtaining a refund of any withholding tax and the certification requirement described above.
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, 2027 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.
In the event of any withholding on the notes, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so withheld.
The Estimated Value of the Notes
The estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement is equal to the sum of the values of the following
hypothetical components: (1) a fixed-income debt component with the same maturity as the notes, valued using the internal funding
rate described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes. The estimated value of the notes
does not represent a minimum price at which JPMS would be willing to buy your notes in any secondary market (if any exists) at any
time. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied funding
rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference may be
based on, among other things, our and our affiliates' view of the funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance, operational
and ongoing liability management costs of the notes in comparison to those costs for the conventional fixed income instruments of
JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect,
and is intended to approximate the prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use of an internal funding rate and
any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any secondary market prices of the notes.
For additional information, see "Selected Risk Considerations - The Estimated Value of the Notes Is Derived by Reference to an
Internal Funding Rate" in this pricing supplement.
The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes is derived from internal pricing models of our
affiliates. These models are dependent on inputs such as the traded market prices of comparable derivative instruments and on various
other inputs, some of which are market-observable, and which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors, as
well as assumptions about future market events and/or environments. Accordingly, the estimated value of the notes is determined when
the terms of the notes are set based on market conditions and other relevant factors and assumptions existing at that time.
The estimated value of the notes does not represent future values of the notes and may differ from others' estimates. Different pricing
models and assumptions could provide valuations for the notes that are greater than or less than the estimated value of the notes. In
addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to be incorrect. On
future dates, the value of the notes could change significantly based on, among other things, changes in market conditions, our or
JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s creditworthiness, interest rate movements and other relevant factors, which may impact the price, if any, at
which JPMS would be willing to buy notes from you in secondary market transactions.
PS-12| Structured Investments
Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Lesser Performing of the
Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM and the VanEck® Gold Miners
ETF
The estimated value of the notes will be lower than the original issue price of the notes because costs associated with selling,
structuring and hedging the notes are included in the original issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling commissions paid
to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks
inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. Because
hedging our obligations entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging may result in a profit that
is more or less than expected, or it may result in a loss. A portion of the profits, if any, realized in hedging our obligations under the
notes may be allowed to other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, and we or one or more of our affiliates will retain any remaining hedging
profits. See "Selected Risk Considerations - The Estimated Value of the Notes Will Be Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to
Public) of the Notes" in this pricing supplement.
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes
For information about factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the notes, see "Risk Factors - Risks Relating to the
Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes - Secondary market prices of the notes will be impacted by many
economic and market factors" in the accompanying product supplement. In addition, we generally expect that some of the costs
included in the original issue price of the notes will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your notes by
JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period. These costs can include selling commissions,
projected hedging profits, if any, and, in some circumstances, estimated hedging costs and our internal secondary market funding rates
for structured debt issuances. This initial predetermined time period is intended to be the shorter of six months and one-half of the
stated term of the notes. The length of any such initial period reflects the structure of the notes, whether our affiliates expect to earn a
profit in connection with our hedging activities, the estimated costs of hedging the notes and when these costs are incurred, as
determined by our affiliates. See "Selected Risk Considerations - The Value of the Notes as Published by JPMS (and Which May Be
Reflected on Customer Account Statements) May Be Higher Than the Then-Current Estimated Value of the Notes for a Limited Time
Period" in this pricing supplement.
Supplemental Use of Proceeds
The notes are offered to meet investor demand for products that reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the
notes. See "How the Notes Work" and "Hypothetical Payout Examples" in this pricing supplement for an illustration of the risk-return
profile of the notes and "The Underlyings" 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.
Additional Terms Specific to the Notes
You may revoke your offer to purchase the notes at any time prior to the time at which we accept such offer by notifying the applicable
agent. We reserve the right to change the terms of, or reject any offer to purchase, the notes prior to their issuance. In the event of any
changes to the terms of the notes, we will notify you and you will be asked to accept such changes in connection with your purchase.
You may also choose to reject such changes, in which case we may reject your offer to purchase.
You should read this pricing supplement together with the accompanying prospectus, as supplemented by the accompanying
prospectus supplement relating to our Series A medium-term notes of which these notes are a part, the accompanying prospectus
addendum and the more detailed information contained in the accompanying product supplement and the accompanying underlying

Annex A
The Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM
All information contained in this pricing supplement regarding the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM, including, without limitation,
its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, has been derived from publicly available information, without
independent verification. This information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.
("Nasdaq"). The Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM was developed by Nasdaq and is calculated, maintained and published by
The Nasdaq OMX Group, Inc. ("Nasdaq OMX"). Neither Nasdaq nor Nasdaq OMX has any obligation to continue to publish, and may
discontinue publication of, the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM.
The Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM began on February 22, 2006 at a base value of 1,000.00. The Nasdaq-100® Technology
Sector IndexSM is reported by Bloomberg, L.P. under the ticker symbol "NDXT."
The Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM is an equal-weighted, price-return index designed to measure the performance of the
technology companies in the Nasdaq-100 Index®.
Security Eligibility Criteria
The Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM contains securities of the Nasdaq-100 Index® which are classified as Technology
according to the Industry Classification Benchmark ("ICB"). The eligibility for the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM is
determined in a 2-step process and the security has to meet both criteria in order to become eligible for the Nasdaq-100® Technology
Sector IndexSM. For additional information about the Nasdaq-100 Index®, including the methodology for inclusion in the Nasdaq-100
Index®, see "Equity Index Descriptions - The Nasdaq-100 Index®" in the accompanying underlying supplement.
Parent Index
The security must be included in the Nasdaq-100 Index®, which includes 100 of the largest domestic and international non-financial
companies listed on the Nasdaq.
Industry or Sector Eligibility
The company must be classified as a Technology Company (any company classified under the Technology Industry) according to ICB.
Constituent Selection
All securities that meet the applicable Security Eligibility Criteria described above are included in the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector
IndexSM.
Constituent Weighting
The Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM employs an equal weighting methodology such that each company's Index market value
is rebalanced quarterly to an equal-dollar value corresponding to an equal percent weight of the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector
IndexSM's aggregate market value. Index Shares are calculated by dividing this equal-dollar market value for each Index Security by
the corresponding Last Sale Price of the security at the close of trading on the third Friday in March, June, September, and December.
In the case of multiple share classes of a company being included in the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM, the equal-weighted
market value will be divided equally among the securities of that company.
Index Calculation
The Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM is an equal weighted, price return index. The Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM
is calculated without regard to ordinary dividends, however, it does reflect special dividends. The formula is as follows:
(1)
"Index Market Value" shall be calculated as follows:
"Index Security" shall mean a security that has been selected for membership in the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM,
having met all applicable eligibility requirements.
n = Number of Index Securities included in the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM
qi = Number of shares of Index Security i applied in the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM.
pi = Price in quote currency of Index Security i. Depending on the time of the calculation, the price can be either of the following:
PS-15| Structured Investments
Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Lesser Performing of the
Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM and the VanEck® Gold Miners
ETF
a.
The Start of Day (SOD) price which is the previous index calculation day's (t-1) closing price for Index Security i adjusted
for corporate action(s) occurring prior to market open on date t, if any, for the SOD calculation only;
b.
The intraday price which reflects the current trading price received from the Nasdaq during the index calculation day;
c.
The End of Day (EOD) price refers to the Last Sale Price, which refers to the last regular-way trade reported on Nasdaq;
or
d.
The Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)
t = current index calculation day
t-1 = current index calculation day
(2)
"PR Index Divisor" should be calculated as follows:
The Index Divisor serves the purpose of scaling an Index Market Value to lower order of magnitude, which is recommended for
reporting purposes. The Index Divisor is adjusted to ensure that changes in an Index Security's price or shares either by corporate
actions or index participation which occur outside of trading hours do not affect the index value. An Index Divisor change occurs after
the close of the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM.
Index Maintenance
Deletion Policy
If a component of the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM is removed from the Nasdaq-100 Index® for any reason, it is also
removed from the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM at the same time.
Replacement Policy
When a component of the Nasdaq-100 Index® that is classified as Technology according to ICB is removed from the Nasdaq-100
Index, it is also removed from the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index. As such, if the replacement company being added to the
Nasdaq-100 Index® is classified as Technology according to ICB, it is added to the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM and will
assume the weight of the removed company on the Index effective date.
When a component of the Nasdaq-100 Index® that is not classified as Technology according to ICB is removed and the replacement
company being added to the Nasdaq-100 Index is classified as Technology according to ICB, the replacement company is considered
for addition to the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index at the next quarterly Rebalance. When a component of the Nasdaq-100 Index
that is classified as Technology according to ICB is removed from the Nasdaq-100 Index and the replacement company being added to
the Nasdaq-100 Index® is not classified as Technology according to ICB, the company is removed from the Nasdaq-100® Technology
Sector IndexSM and the divisor of the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM is adjusted to ensure Index continuity.
Additions Policy
If a security is added to the Nasdaq-100 Index® for any reason, it may be added to the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM at the
same time.
Corporate Actions
In the interim periods between scheduled index reconstitution and rebalance events, individual Index securities may be the subject to a
variety of corporate actions and events that require maintenance and adjustments to the Index.
In certain cases, corporate actions and events are handled according to the weighting scheme or other index construction techniques
employed. Wherever alternate methods are described, the Index will follow the "Non-Market Cap Corporate Action Method."
Index Share Adjustments
Other than as a direct result of corporate actions, the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM does not normally experience share
adjustments between scheduled index rebalance and reconstitution events.
License Agreement
JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliate intends to enter into a non-exclusive license agreement with Nasdaq providing for the license to it
and certain of its affiliates or subsidiaries, including JPMorgan Financial, with a non-exclusive license and, for a fee, with the right to use
the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM in connection with certain securities, including the notes.
The license agreement with Nasdaq provides that the following language must be stated in this pricing supplement:
