where:

"d0" means the number of U.S. Government Securities Business Days in that Observation Period;

"i" is a series of whole numbers from one to d0, each representing the relevant U.S. Government Securities Business Days in chronological order from, and including, the first U.S. Government Securities Business Day in that Observation Period;

"SOFRi" means, for any U.S. Government Securities Business Day "i" in that Observation Period, Daily SOFR with respect to that day, determined as set forth in the accompanying product supplement;

"ni" means, for any U.S. Government Securities Business Day "i" in that Observation Period, the number of calendar days from, and including, that U.S. Government Securities Business Day "i" up to, but excluding, the following U.S. Government Securities Business Day ("i+1"); and

"d" means the number of calendar days in that Observation Period.

Supplemental Terms of the Notes

Benchmark Replacement. The section entitled "The Underlyings - Base Rates - Compounded SOFR - Effect of a Benchmark Replacement Event - Benchmark Replacement" in the accompanying product supplement is amended, replaced and superseded in its entirety by the following. Capitalized terms are as defined in the accompanying product supplement.

"Benchmark Replacement. If the calculation agent determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred at or prior to the Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark Rate on any date, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark Rate for all purposes relating to the notes during the applicable Interest Period (after any Initial Interest Periods) in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates (including, if applicable, for purposes of the determination of the payment at maturity)."

Capped Fixed to Floating Rate Notes PS-2

Selected Purchase Considerations

· PRESERVATION OF CAPITAL AT MATURITY - Regardless of the performance of the Benchmark Rate, we will pay you at least the principal amount of your notes if you hold the notes to maturity. 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.
· PERIODIC INTEREST PAYMENTS - The notes offer periodic interest payments on each Interest Payment Date. With respect to the Initial Interest Period, your notes will pay an annual interest rate equal to the Initial Interest Rate, and for the applicable Interest Periods thereafter, your notes will pay an interest rate per annum equal to the Benchmark Rate, which will initially be Compounded SOFR, plus the Spread, provided that this rate will not be less than the Minimum Interest Rate or greater than the Maximum Interest Rate. The yield on the notes may be less than the overall return you would receive from a conventional debt security that you could purchase today with the same maturity as the notes.
· TAX TREATMENT - You should review carefully the section entitled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" in this pricing supplement and the section entitled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the accompanying product supplement and consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes.

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 the accompanying product supplement and in Annex A to the accompanying prospectus addendum.

Risks Relating to the Notes Generally

· THE NOTES ARE NOT ORDINARY DEBT SECURITIES BECAUSE, OTHER THAN DURING THE INITIAL INTEREST PERIOD, THE INTEREST RATE ON THE NOTES IS A FLOATING RATE AND MAY BE EQUAL TO THE MINIMUM INTEREST RATE - With respect to the Initial Interest Period, your notes will pay a rate equal to the Initial Interest Rate, and, for the applicable Interest Periods thereafter, your notes will pay an interest rate per annum equal to the Benchmark Rate, which will initially be Compounded SOFR, plus the Spread of 0.15%, provided that this rate will not be less than the Minimum Interest Rate or greater than the Maximum Interest Rate. If the Interest Rate for an Interest Period after the Initial Interest Period is equal to the Minimum Interest Rate, which will occur if the Benchmark Rate on the applicable Determination Date is less than or equal to -0.15% per annum, no interest will be payable with respect to that Interest Period. Accordingly, if the Benchmark Rate on the Determination Dates for some or all of the Interest Periods after the Initial Interest Period is less than or equal to -0.15% per annum, you may not receive any interest payments for an extended period over the term of the notes.
· AFTER THE INITIAL INTEREST PERIOD, THE INTEREST RATE ON THE NOTES IS BASED ON THE Benchmark Rate - The amount of interest, if any, payable on the notes will depend on a number of factors that could affect the levels of the Benchmark Rate, and in turn, could affect the value of the notes. These factors include (but are not limited to) the expected volatility of the Benchmark Rate, interest and yield rates in the market generally, the performance of capital markets, monetary policies, fiscal policies, regulatory or judicial events, inflation, general economic conditions, and public expectations with respect to such factors. These and other factors may have a negative impact on the Benchmark Rate and on the value of the notes in the secondary market. The effect that any single factor may have on the Benchmark Rate may be partially offset by other factors. We cannot predict the factors that may cause the Benchmark Rate, and consequently the Interest Rate for an Interest Period (other than the Initial Interest Period), to increase or decrease. A decrease in the Benchmark Rate will result in a reduction of the applicable Interest Rate used to calculate the Interest for any Interest Period (after the Initial Interest Period).
· FLOATING RATE NOTES DIFFER FROM FIXED RATE NOTES - After the Initial Interest Period, the rate of interest on your notes will be variable and determined based on the Benchmark Rate plus 0.15%, provided that this rate will not be less than the Minimum Interest Rate or greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, which may be less than returns otherwise payable on notes issued by us with similar maturities. You should consider, among other things, the overall potential annual percentage rate of interest to maturity of the notes as compared to other investment alternatives.
· THE BENCHMARK RATE WILL INITIALLY BE BASED ON COMPOUNDED SOFR, WHICH IS RELATIVELY NEW IN THE MARKETPLACE - For each Interest Period (after the Initial Interest Period), the Interest Rate is based on the Benchmark Rate, which will initially be Compounded SOFR, a compounded average of Daily SOFR during the applicable Observation Period calculated as described under "Key Terms - Compounded SOFR" in this pricing supplement, and not on Daily SOFR published on or in respect of a particular date during that Observation Period. For this and other reasons, the Interest Rate for any Interest Period (after the Initial Interest Period) may not be the same as the interest rate on other investments bearing interest at a rate based on SOFR that use an alternative method to determine the applicable interest rate, including any compounded average SOFR published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("FRBNY"). Further, if Daily SOFR in respect of a particular date during an Observation Period is negative, the inclusion of such Daily SOFR in the calculation of Compounded SOFR for the applicable Interest Period (after the Initial Interest Period) will reduce the Interest Rate and the interest payable on the notes for that Interest Period.
Capped Fixed to Floating Rate Notes PS-3

In addition, very limited market precedent exists for securities that use compounded SOFR as the base rate, and the method for calculating an interest rate based upon compounded SOFR in those precedents varies. Accordingly, the specific formula and related conventions (for example, observation periods) used for the notes may not be widely adopted by other market participants, if at all. Adoption of a different calculation method by the market likely would adversely affect the return on, value of and market for the notes.

· INTEREST PAYMENTS WITH RESPECT TO EACH INTEREST PERIOD (AFTER THE INITIAL INTEREST PERIOD) WILL BE DETERMINED ONLY NEAR THE END OF THAT INTEREST PERIOD - The level of the Benchmark Rate applicable to each Interest Period (after the Initial Interest Period) and, therefore, the amount of interest payable with respect to that Interest Period will be determined on the Determination Date. Because each Determination Date is near the end of the relevant Interest Period, you will not know the amount of interest payable with respect to that Interest Period until shortly prior to the related Interest Payment Date and it may be difficult for you to reliably estimate the amount of interest that will be payable on each Interest Payment Date.
· THE INTEREST RATE OF THE NOTES IS CAPPED BY THE APPLICABLE MAXIMUM INTEREST RATE - The Interest Rate for each Interest Period (after the Initial Interest Period) is subject to a Maximum Interest Rate, regardless of any appreciation of the Benchmark Rate, which may be significant. The Maximum Interest Rate is 5.50% per annum.
· 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.
· 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.
· 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 and hedging our obligations under 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 for our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s own accounts or on behalf of customers, 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.

In addition, if the Benchmark Rate is not published or if the calculation agent determines on or prior to a Determination Date that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date (each as defined in the accompanying product supplement) have occurred with respect to the Benchmark Rate, then the Benchmark Rate will be determined by the alternative procedures set forth under "The Underlyings -Base Rates - Compounded SOFR - Effect of a Benchmark Transition Event" in the accompanying product supplement, as supplemented by "Supplemental Terms of the Notes - Benchmark Replacement" in this pricing supplement, which may adversely affect the return on and the market value of the notes.

Risks Relating to Secondary Market Prices of the Notes

· CERTAIN BUILT-IN COSTS ARE LIKELY TO AFFECT ADVERSELY THE VALUE OF THE NOTES PRIOR TO MATURITY - While the payment at maturity described in this pricing supplement is based on the full principal amount of your notes, the original issue price of the notes includes the agent's commission and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes through one or more of our affiliates. As a result,
Capped Fixed to Floating Rate Notes PS-4

the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to purchase notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, will likely be lower than the original issue price, and any sale prior to the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you. This secondary market price will also be affected by a number of factors aside from the agent's commission and hedging costs, including those referred to under "- Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Notes" below.

The notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity.

· MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL IMPACT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES - In addition to the Benchmark Rate, which will initially be Compounded SOFR, on any day, the value of the notes will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including, but not limited to:
· any actual or potential change in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s creditworthiness or credit spreads;
· the actual and expected volatility of the Benchmark Rate;
· the actual or potential cessation of Compounded SOFR;
· the time to maturity of the notes;
· interest and yield rates in the market generally, as well as the volatility of those rates; and
· a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events.

Risks Relating to the Benchmark Rate

· SOFR WILL BE AFFECTED BY A NUMBER OF FACTORS AND MAY BE VOLATILE - The amount of interest payable on the notes (after the Initial Interest Period) will initially depend on SOFR. SOFR will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to:
· supply and demand for overnight U.S. Treasury repurchase agreements;
· sentiment regarding underlying strength in the U.S. and global economies;
· expectations regarding the level of price inflation;
· sentiment regarding credit quality in the U.S. and global credit markets;
· central bank policy regarding interest rates;
· inflation and expectations concerning inflation;
· performance of capital markets; and
· any statements from public government officials regarding the cessation of SOFR.

These and other factors may have a negative effect on the performance of SOFR, on the payment of interest on the notes and on the value of the notes in the secondary market.

Since the initial publication of SOFR, daily changes in the rate have, on occasion, been more volatile than daily changes in other benchmark or market rates during corresponding periods. In addition, although changes in compounded SOFR generally are not expected to be as volatile as changes in Daily SOFR, the return on, value of and market for the notes may fluctuate more than floating rate debt securities with interest rates based on less volatile rates.

· THE COMPOSITION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF SOFR ARE NOT THE SAME AS THOSE OF LIBOR AND THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT SOFR (OR COMPOUNDED SOFR) IS A COMPARABLE SUBSTITUTE FOR LIBOR - In June 2017, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's Alternative Reference Rates Committee (the "ARRC") announced SOFR as its recommended alternative to USD LIBOR. However, the composition and characteristics of SOFR are not the same as those of USD LIBOR. SOFR is a broad Treasury repo financing rate that represents overnight secured funding transactions and is not the economic equivalent of USD LIBOR. While SOFR is a secured rate, USD LIBOR is an unsecured rate. In addition, while SOFR currently is an overnight rate only, USD LIBOR is a forward-looking rate that represents interbank funding for a specified term. As a result, there can be no assurance that SOFR will perform in the same way as USD LIBOR would have at any time, including, without limitation, as a result of changes in interest and yield rates in the market, bank credit risk, market volatility or global or regional economic, financial, political, regulatory, judicial or other events. For the same reasons, SOFR is not expected to be a comparable substitute, successor or replacement for USD LIBOR.
· THE SECONDARY MARKET FOR THE NOTES MAY BE LIMITED - If SOFR does not prove to be widely used as a benchmark in securities that are similar or comparable to the notes, the trading price of the notes may be lower than those of debt securities with interest rates based on rates that are more widely used. Similarly, market terms for debt securities with interest rates based on SOFR, including, but not limited to, the spread over the reference rate reflected in the interest rate provisions or manner of compounding the reference rate, may evolve over time, and as a result, trading prices of the notes may be lower than those of later-issued debt securities that are based on SOFR. Investors in the notes may not be able to sell the notes at all or may not be able to sell the notes at prices that will provide them with a yield comparable to similar investments that have a developed secondary market, and may consequently suffer from increased pricing volatility and market risk.
· THE ADMINISTRATOR OF SOFR MAY MAKE CHANGES THAT COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE LEVEL OF SOFR OR DISCONTINUE SOFR AND HAS NO OBLIGATION TO CONSIDER YOUR INTEREST IN DOING SO - SOFR is a relatively new rate, and FRBNY (or a successor), as administrator of SOFR, may make methodological or other changes that could change the value of SOFR, including changes related to the method by which SOFR is calculated, eligibility criteria applicable to the transactions used to calculate SOFR, or timing related to the publication of SOFR. If the manner in which SOFR is calculated is changed, that change may result in a reduction of the amount of interest payable on the notes, which may
Capped Fixed to Floating Rate Notes PS-5

adversely affect the trading prices of the notes. The administrator of SOFR may withdraw, modify, amend, suspend or discontinue the calculation or dissemination of SOFR in its sole discretion and without notice and has no obligation to consider the interests of holders of the notes in calculating, withdrawing, modifying, amending, suspending or discontinuing SOFR. For purposes of the formula used to calculate interest with respect to the notes, Daily SOFR in respect of a particular date will not be adjusted for any modifications or amendments to SOFR data that the administrator of SOFR may publish after the Interest Rate for the applicable Interest Period (after the Initial Interest Period) has been determined.

· COMPOUNDED SOFR MAY BE REPLACED BY A SUCCESSOR OR SUBSTITUTE INTEREST RATE - If the calculation agent determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to Compounded SOFR, then a Benchmark Replacement will be selected by the calculation agent in accordance with the benchmark transition provisions of the notes described under "The Underlyings -Base Rates - Compounded SOFR - Effect of a Benchmark Transition Event" in the accompanying product supplement, as supplemented by "Supplemental Terms of the Notes - Benchmark Replacement" in this pricing supplement. The selection of a Benchmark Replacement, and any decisions, determinations or elections made by the calculation agent or by us in connection with implementing a Benchmark Replacement with respect to the notes in accordance with the benchmark transition provisions, could result in adverse consequences to the relevant Interest Rate on the notes during the applicable Interest Period (after the Initial Interest Period), which could adversely affect the return on, value of and market for the notes. Further, there is no assurance that the characteristics of any Benchmark Replacement will be similar to Compounded SOFR, or that any Benchmark Replacement will produce the economic equivalent of Compounded SOFR.

JPMS, an affiliate of ours, is currently the calculation agent for the notes. In the future, we may appoint another firm, ourselves or another affiliate of ours as the calculation agent. If the calculation agent fails to make any determination, decision or election that it is required to make pursuant to the benchmark transition provisions described above, then we will make that determination, decision or election.

· UNCERTAINTY AS TO SOME OF THE POTENTIAL BENCHMARK REPLACEMENTS AND ANY BENCHMARK REPLACEMENT CONFORMING CHANGES WE MAKE MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE RETURN ON AND THE MARKET VALUE OF THE NOTES - Under the benchmark transition provisions of the notes, if the calculation agent determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to Compounded SOFR, then a Benchmark Replacement will be selected by the calculation agent. If a particular Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Adjustment cannot be determined, then the next-available Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Adjustment will apply. These replacement rates and adjustments may be selected or formulated by (i) the Relevant Governmental Body (such as the ARRC of FRBNY), (ii) the International Swaps and Derivatives Association ("ISDA") or (iii) in certain circumstances, us. In addition, the benchmark transition provisions expressly authorize us to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes with respect to, among other things, the determination of Interest Periods, Observation Periods and the timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest. The application of a Benchmark Replacement and Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, and any implementation of Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, could result in adverse consequences to the amount of interest payable on the notes during the applicable Interest Period (after the Initial Interest Period), which could adversely affect the return on, value of and market for the notes. Further, there is no assurance that the characteristics of any Benchmark Replacement will be similar to the then-current Benchmark Rate that it is replacing, or that any Benchmark Replacement will produce the economic equivalent of the then-current Benchmark Rate that it is replacing.

Hypothetical Examples of Interest Rate Calculation for an Interest Period (Other Than the Initial Interest Period)

The following examples illustrate how the hypothetical Interest Rate is calculated for a particular Interest Period occurring after the Initial Interest Period and assume that that the Day Count Fraction for the applicable Interest Period is equal to 90/360. The actual Day Count Fraction for an Interest Period will be calculated in the manner set forth in the accompanying product supplement. The hypothetical Interest Rates in the following examples are for illustrative purposes only and may not correspond to the actual Interest Rate for any Interest Period applicable to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Example 1: After the Initial Interest Period, with respect to a particular Interest Period, the Benchmark Rate is 1.00% on the applicable Determination Date. The Interest Rate applicable to this Interest Period is 1.15% per annum, calculated as follows:

1.00% + 0.15% = 1.15%

The corresponding interest payment per $1,000 principal amount note is calculated as follows:

$1,000 × 1.15% × (90/360) = $2.875

Example 2: After the Initial Interest Period, with respect to a particular Interest Period, the Benchmark Rate is 9.00% on the applicable Determination Date. Because the Benchmark Rate plus 0.15% exceeds the Maximum Interest Rate of 5.50%, the Interest Rate applicable to this Interest Period is 5.50% per annum.

The corresponding interest payment per $1,000 principal amount note is calculated as follows:

$1,000 × 5.50% × (90/360) = $13.75

Example 3: After the Initial Interest Period, with respect to a particular Interest Period, the Benchmark Rate is -2.00% on the applicable Determination Date. Because the Benchmark Rate plus 0.15% is less than the Minimum Interest Rate of 0.00% per annum, the Interest Rate applicable to this Interest Period is 0.00% per annum and no interest payment is made.

The 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 payments shown above would likely be lower.

What Is SOFR?

SOFR is intended to be a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities. For more information about SOFR, see "The Underlyings - Base Rates - Compounded SOFR" in the accompanying product supplement.

Historical Information

The following graph sets forth the historical weekly performance of Daily SOFR from January 4, 2019 through November 1, 2024. Daily SOFR on November 1, 2024 was 4.86%. We obtained the levels of Daily SOFR above and below from the Bloomberg Professional® service ("Bloomberg"), without independent verification.

The historical rates do not reflect the daily compounding method used to calculate Compounded SOFR. The historical rates should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the level of Compounded SOFR or any Benchmark Replacement on any Determination Date. There can be no assurance that the performance of Compounded SOFR will result in an Interest Rate for any Interest Period (after the Initial Interest Period) that is greater than the Minimum Interest Rate.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

You should review carefully the section entitled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences," and in particular the subsection thereof entitled "Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders - Notes Treated as Debt Instruments and That Have a Term of More than One Year - Notes Treated as Debt Instruments But Not Contingent Payment Debt Instruments - Notes Treated as Variable Rate Debt Instruments," in the accompanying product supplement no. 1-I. You and we agree to treat the notes as "variable rate debt instruments" for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Based on market conditions as of the issue date of the notes, we will determine whether the notes are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes (1) as providing for a single qualified floating rate ("QFR") or (2) as providing for a single fixed rate followed by a QFR.

If the initial fixed rate on the notes is within 0.25% of the Benchmark Rate plus the Spread as of the issue date of the notes, the notes will be treated as providing for a single QFR. In that case, the notes will not be treated as issued with original issue discount ("OID") and interest paid on the notes will be treated as qualified stated interest ("QSI").

However, if the initial fixed rate on the notes is not within 0.25% of the Benchmark Rate plus the Spread as of the issue date of the notes, the notes will be treated as providing for a single fixed rate followed by a QFR. In that case, under Treasury regulations applicable to variable rate debt instruments, the notes may be treated as issued with OID. In that case, in order to determine the amount of QSI and OID in respect of the notes, an equivalent fixed rate debt instrument must be constructed. The equivalent fixed rate debt instrument is constructed in the following manner: (i) first, the initial fixed rate is converted to a QFR that would preserve the fair market value of the notes, and (ii) second, each QFR (including the QFR determined under (i) above) is converted to a fixed rate substitute (which will generally be the value of that QFR as of the issue date of the notes). The rules described under "- Notes Treated as Debt Instruments But Not Contingent Payment Debt Instruments - Qualified Stated Interest and Original Issue Discount" in the accompanying product supplement are then applied for purposes of calculating the amount of OID on the notes. Under these rules, the notes will generally be treated as providing for QSI at a rate equal to the lowest rate of interest in effect at any time, and any interest in excess of that rate will generally be treated as part of the stated redemption price at maturity and, therefore, as giving rise to OID.

QSI on the notes will generally be taxable to you as ordinary income at the time it accrues or is received, in accordance with your method of tax accounting. If the notes are issued with OID, you will be required to include the OID in income for U.S. federal income tax purposes as it accrues, in accordance with a constant-yield method based on a compounding of interest. If the notes are not issued with OID, all stated interest on the notes will be treated as QSI and will be taxable to you as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is received in accordance with your method of tax accounting. If the amount of interest you receive on your notes in a calendar year is greater than the interest assumed to be paid or accrued under the equivalent fixed rate debt instrument, the excess is treated as additional QSI taxable to you as ordinary income. Otherwise, any difference will reduce the amount of QSI you are treated as receiving and will therefore reduce the amount of ordinary income you are required to take into income.

Information regarding the determination of QSI and the amount of OID, if any, on the notes may be obtained by contacting a member of the J.P. Morgan Structured Investments team at (800) 576-3529.

Upon a sale or exchange (including redemption at maturity), you will generally recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or exchange (not including any amount attributable to accrued but unpaid QSI) and your tax basis in the notes, which will generally equal the amount you paid to acquire the notes, increased by the amount of OID (if any) previously included in income by you with respect to the notes and reduced by any payments other than QSI received by you with respect to the notes. This gain or loss will generally be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the notes for more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitation.

The discussions herein and in the accompanying product supplement do not address the consequences to taxpayers subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b).
