Tax Treatment
You should review carefully the section entitled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the accompanying product
supplement no. 4-I. Based on the advice of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, our special tax counsel, and on current market conditions, in
determining our reporting responsibilities we intend to treat the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes as units each consisting of:
(x) a cash-settled Put Option written by you that, in circumstances where the payment due at maturity is less than $1,000 (excluding
accrued but unpaid interest), requires you to pay us an amount equal to that difference and (y) a Deposit of $1,000 per $1,000 principal
amount note to secure your potential obligation under the Put Option, as more fully described in "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax
Consequences - Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders - Notes Treated as Units Each Comprising a Put Option and a Deposit" in the
accompanying product supplement, and in particular in the subsection thereof entitled "- Notes with a Term of More than One Year."
By purchasing the notes, you agree (in the absence of an administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary) to follow this
treatment and the allocation described in the following paragraph. However, 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 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 on a number of issues, the most relevant of which for investors in the
notes are the character of income or loss (including whether the Put Premium might be currently included as ordinary income) and the
degree, if any, to which income realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax. While it is not clear whether the
notes would be viewed as similar to the typical prepaid forward contract described in the notice, it is possible that 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.
In determining our reporting responsibilities, we intend to treat a portion of each Interest Payment equal to approximately 4.88% per
annum times the amount of the Deposit times the number of days in the applicable period divided by 365 as interest on the Deposit (so
that the amount allocated as interest on the Deposit will vary from Interest Payment to Interest Payment depending on the number of
days in the applicable period) and the remainder of each Interest Payment as Put Premium. Assuming that the treatment of the notes
as units each comprising a Put Option and a Deposit is respected, amounts treated as interest on the Deposit will be taxed as ordinary
income, while the Put Premium will not be taken into account prior to sale or settlement.
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, our special tax counsel is of the
opinion that Section 871(m) should not apply to the notes with regard to Non-U.S. Holders. Our determination is not binding on the
IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination. Section 871(m) is complex and its application may depend on your particular
circumstances, including whether you enter into other transactions with respect to an Underlying Security. You should consult your tax
adviser regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to the notes.
The 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 all aspects of the U.S. federal
income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the 2007
notice. Purchasers who are not initial purchasers of notes at the issue price should also consult their tax advisers with respect to the
tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including possible alternative treatments, as well as the allocation of the purchase
price of the notes between the Deposit and the Put Option.
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
