Market Linked Securities - Leveraged Upside Participation to a Cap and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Lowest Performing of the S&P 500® Index and the Russell 2000® Index due December 9, 2025

n Linked to the lowest performing of the S&P 500® Index and the Russell 2000® Index (each referred to as an "Index")

n Unlike ordinary debt securities, the securities do not pay interest or repay a fixed amount of principal at maturity. Instead, the securities provide for a maturity payment amount that may be greater than, equal to or less than the principal amount of the securities, depending on the performance of the lowest performing Index. The lowest performing Index is the Index that has the lowest index return (i.e., the lowest percentage change from its starting level to its ending level). The maturity payment amount will reflect the following terms:

n If the level of the lowest performing Index increases, you will receive the principal amount plus a positive return equal to 150% of the percentage increase in the level of that Index from its starting level, subject to a maximum return at maturity of at least 12.00% (to be provided in the pricing supplement) of the principal amount. As a result of the maximum return, the maximum maturity payment amount will be at least $1,120.00 per security.

n If the level of the lowest performing Index remains flat or decreases but the decrease is not more than the buffer amount of 10%, you will receive the principal amount.

n If the level of the lowest performing Index decreases by more than the buffer amount, you will receive less than the principal amount and will have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the decrease in the level of that Index in excess of the buffer amount.

n Investors may lose up to 90% of the principal amount.

n Your return on the securities will depend solely on the performance of the lowest performing Index. You will not benefit in any way from the performance of the better performing Index. Therefore, you will be adversely affected if either Index performs poorly, even if the other Index performs favorably.

n The securities 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 securities is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial, as issuer of the securities, and the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co., as guarantor of the securities.

n No periodic interest payments or dividends

n No exchange listing; designed to be held to maturity

The securities have complex features and investing in the securities involves risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-2 of the accompanying prospectus supplement, Annex A to the accompanying prospectus addendum, "Risk Factors" beginning on page PS-11 of the accompanying product supplement and "Selected Risk Considerations" on page PS-9 in this pricing supplement.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the securities or passed upon the accuracy or the adequacy of this pricing supplement or the accompanying product supplement, underlying supplement, prospectus supplement, prospectus and prospectus addendum. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The Estimated Value of the Securities

The estimated value of the securities 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 securities, valued using the internal funding rate described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the securities. The estimated value of the securities does not represent a minimum price at which JPMS would be willing to buy your securities in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the securities 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 securities as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the securities 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 securities. The use of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the securities and any secondary market prices of the securities. For additional information, see "Selected Risk Considerations - Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Securities - The Estimated Value of the Securities 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 securities 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 securities is determined when the terms of the securities 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 Securities - The Estimated Value of the Securities Does Not Represent Future Values of the Securities and May Differ from Others' Estimates" in this pricing supplement.

The estimated value of the securities will be lower than the original issue price of the securities because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the securities are included in the original issue price of the securities. These costs include the selling commissions paid to WFS (which WFS has advised us includes selling concessions and distribution expense fees), the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the securities and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the securities. 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 securities 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 - Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Securities - The Estimated Value of the Securities Will Be Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to Public) of the Securities" in this pricing supplement.

Secondary Market Prices of the Securities

For information about factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the securities, see "Risk Factors - Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes - Secondary market prices of the securities 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 securities will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your securities by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period that is intended to be approximately three months. The length of any such initial period reflects the structure of the securities, whether our affiliates expect to earn a profit in connection with our hedging activities, the estimated costs of hedging the securities 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 Securities - The Value of the Securities as Published by JPMS (and Which May Be Reflected on Customer Account Statements) May Be Higher Than the Then-Current Estimated Value of the Securities for a Limited Time Period" in this pricing supplement.

Supplemental Use of Proceeds

The securities are offered to meet investor demand for products that reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the securities. See "Hypothetical Examples and Returns" in this pricing supplement for an illustration of the risk-return profile of the securities and "The S&P 500® Index" and "The Russell 2000® Index" in this pricing supplement for a description of the market exposure provided by the securities.

The original issue price of the securities is equal to the estimated value of the securities plus the selling commissions paid to WFS (which WFS has advised us includes selling concessions and distribution expense fees), plus (minus) the projected profits (losses) that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the securities, plus the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the securities.

Supplemental Terms of the Securities

Any values of the Indices, and any values derived therefrom, included in this pricing supplement may be corrected, in the event of manifest error or inconsistency, by amendment of this pricing supplement and the corresponding terms of the securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the indenture governing the securities, that amendment will become effective without consent of the holders of the securities or any other party.

Investor Considerations

The securities are not appropriate for all investors. The securities may be an appropriate investment for you if all of the following statements are true:

§ You do not seek an investment that produces periodic interest or coupon payments or other sources of current income.
§ You anticipate that the ending level of the lowest performing Index will be greater than its starting level, and you are willing and able to accept the risk that, if the ending level of the lowest performing Index is less than its starting level by more than the buffer amount, you will lose up to 90% of the principal amount of your securities at maturity.
§ You are willing and able to accept that any potential return on the securities is limited to the maximum return.
§ You understand that the return on the securities will depend solely on the performance of the lowest performing Index and that you will not benefit in any way from the performance of the better performing Index.
§ You understand that the securities are riskier than alternative investments linked to only one of the Indices or linked to a basket composed of both Indices.
§ You understand and are willing to accept the full downside risks of both Indices.
§ You are willing and able to accept the risks associated with an investment linked to the performance of the lowest performing Index, as explained in more detail in the "Selected Risk Considerations" section of this pricing supplement.
§ You understand and accept that you will not be entitled to receive dividends or distributions that may be paid to holders of the securities composing the Indices, nor will you have any voting rights with respect to the securities composing the Indices.
§ You do not seek an investment for which there will be an active secondary market and you are willing and able to hold the securities to maturity.
§ You are willing and able to assume our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s credit risks for all payments on the securities.

The securities may not be an appropriate investment for you if any of the following statements are true:

§ You seek an investment that produces periodic interest or coupon payments or other sources of current income.
§ You seek an investment that provides for the full repayment of principal at maturity.
§ You anticipate that the ending level of the lowest performing Index will be less than its starting level, or you are unwilling or unable to accept the risk that, if the ending level of the lowest performing Index is less than its starting level by more than the buffer amount, you will lose up to 90% of the principal amount of your securities at maturity.
§ You seek an investment with uncapped exposure to any positive performance of the lowest performing Index.
§ You seek exposure to a basket composed of both Indices or a similar investment in which the overall return is based on a blend of the performances of the Indices, rather than solely on the lowest performing Index.
§ You are unwilling to accept the risk of exposure to each of the Indices.
§ You are unwilling or unable to accept the risks associated with an investment linked to the performance of the lowest performing Index, as explained in more detail in the "Selected Risk Considerations" section of this pricing supplement.
§ You seek an investment that entitles you to dividends or distributions on, or voting rights related to, the securities composing the Indices.
§ You seek an investment for which there will be an active secondary market and/or you are unwilling or unable to hold the securities to maturity.
§ You are unwilling or unable to assume our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s credit risks for all payments on the securities.

The considerations identified above are not exhaustive. Whether or not the securities are an appropriate investment for you will depend on your individual circumstances, and you should reach an investment decision only after you and your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors have carefully considered the appropriateness of an

Determining the Maturity Payment Amount

On the stated maturity date, you will receive a cash payment per security (the maturity payment amount) calculated as follows:

Step 1: Determine which Index is the lowest performing Index. The lowest performing Index is the Index that has the lowest index return, calculated for each Index as the percentage change from its starting level to its ending level.

Step 2: Calculate the maturity payment amount based on the index return of the lowest performing Index, as follows:

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the securities involves significant risks. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing directly in either or both of the Indices or their components. Some of the risks that apply to an investment in the securities are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the securities generally in the "Risk Factors" sections of the accompanying prospectus supplement and the accompanying product supplement and in Annex A to the accompanying prospectus addendum. You should not purchase the securities unless you understand and can bear the risks of investing in the securities.

Risks Relating to the Securities Generally

· If the Ending Level of the Lowest Performing Index Is Less Than Its Threshold Level, You Will Lose Up to 90% of the Principal Amount of Your Securities at Maturity - The securities do not guarantee the full return of principal. The return on the securities at maturity is linked to the performance of the lowest performing Index and will depend on whether, and the extent to which, that Index has appreciated or depreciated. If the ending level of the lowest performing Index is less than its threshold level, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of the securities for every 1% that its ending level is less than its threshold level (expressed as a percentage of the starting level). Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose up to 90% of your principal amount at maturity.
· Your Return Will Be Limited to the Maximum Return and May Be Lower Than the Return on a Direct Investment in the Securities Composing Either Index - If the ending level of the lowest performing Index is greater than its starting level, for each $1,000 security, you will receive at maturity $1,000 plus an additional return that will not exceed the maximum return, regardless of the appreciation of that Index, which may be significant. Therefore, your return on the securities may be lower than the return on a direct investment in the securities composing either Index. Furthermore, the effect of the upside participation rate will be progressively reduced for all ending levels of the lowest performing Index exceeding the ending level at which the maximum return is reached.
· The Securities Are Subject to the 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 securities. 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 securities. If we and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were to default on our payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the securities 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 securities. 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 securities as they come due. If JPMorgan Chase & Co. does not make payments to us and we are unable to make payments on the securities, 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.
· You Are Exposed to the Risk of Decline in the Level of Each Index - Payments on the securities are not linked to a basket composed of the Indices and are contingent upon the performance of each individual Index. Poor performance by either of the Indices over the term of the securities may negatively affect your maturity payment amount and will not be offset or mitigated by positive performance by the other Index. Your maturity payment amount will be determined by the lowest performing Index.
· Your Payment at Maturity Will Be Determined by the Lowest Performing Index - Because the payment at maturity will be determined based on the performance of the lowest performing Index, you will not benefit from the performance of the other Index. Accordingly, if the ending level of either Index is less than its threshold level, you will lose some or a significant portion of your principal amount at maturity, even if the ending level of the other Index is greater than or equal to its starting level.
· You Will Be Subject to Risks Resulting from the Relationship Between the Indices - It is preferable from your perspective for the Indices to be correlated with each other so that their levels will tend to increase or decrease at similar times and by similar magnitudes. By investing in the securities, you assume the risk that the Indices will not exhibit this relationship. The less correlated the Indices, the more likely it is that one of the Indices will be performing poorly at any time over the term of the securities. All that is necessary for the securities to perform poorly is for one of the Indices to perform poorly; the performance of the better performing Index is not relevant to your return on the securities. It is impossible to predict what the relationship between the Indices will be over the term of the securities.

Market Linked Securities-Leveraged Upside Participation to a Cap and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Lowest Performing of the S&P 500® Index and the Russell 2000® Index due December 9, 2025

· No Interest or Dividend Payments or Voting Rights - As a holder of the securities, you will not receive interest payments, and you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of the securities included in the Indices would have.
· Lack of Liquidity - The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Accordingly, the price at which you may be able to trade your securities is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which JPMS or WFS is willing to buy the securities. You may not be able to sell your securities. The securities are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your securities to maturity.
· The Final Terms and Estimated Valuation of the Securities Will Be Provided in the Pricing Supplement - You should consider your potential investment in the securities based on the minimums for the estimated value of the securities and the maximum return.
· The U.S. Federal Tax Consequences of the Securities Are Uncertain, and May Be Adverse to a Holder of the Securities - See "Tax Considerations" below and "Risk Factors - Risks Relating to the Notes Generally - The tax consequences of an investment in the notes are uncertain" in the accompanying product supplement.

Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest

· Potential Conflicts - We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the securities, including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the securities and making the assumptions used to determine the pricing of the securities and the estimated value of the securities when the terms of the securities are set, which we refer to as the estimated value of the securities. 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 securities. 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 securities and the value of the securities. It is possible that hedging or trading activities of ours or our affiliates in connection with the securities could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the securities declines. Please refer to "Risk Factors - Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest" in the accompanying product supplement for additional information about these risks.

· The Estimated Value of the Securities Will Be Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to Public) of the Securities - The estimated value of the securities is only an estimate determined by reference to several factors. The original issue price of the securities will exceed the estimated value of the securities because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the securities are included in the original issue price of the securities. 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 securities and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the securities. See "The Estimated Value of the Securities" in this pricing supplement.
· The Estimated Value of the Securities Does Not Represent Future Values of the Securities and May Differ from Others' Estimates - The estimated value of the securities is determined by reference to internal pricing models of our affiliates when the terms of the securities are set. This estimated value of the securities is based on market conditions and other relevant factors existing at that time and assumptions about market parameters, which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors. Different pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations for the securities that are greater than or less than the estimated value of the securities. 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 securities 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 securities from you in secondary market transactions. See "The Estimated Value of the Securities" in this pricing supplement.
· The Estimated Value of the Securities Is Derived by Reference to an Internal Funding Rate - The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the securities 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 securities as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the securities 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 securities. The use of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the securities and any secondary market prices of the securities. See "The Estimated Value of the Securities" in this pricing supplement.

· The Value of the Securities as Published by JPMS (and Which May Be Reflected on Customer Account Statements) May Be Higher Than the Then-Current Estimated Value of the Securities for a Limited Time Period - We generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the securities will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your securities 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 Securities" in this pricing supplement for additional information relating to this initial period. Accordingly, the estimated value of your securities during this initial period may be lower than the value of the securities as published by JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer account statements).
· Secondary Market Prices of the Securities Will Likely Be Lower Than the Original Issue Price of the Securities - Any secondary market prices of the securities will likely be lower than the original issue price of the securities 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 securities. As a result, the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy securities 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 stated 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 securities.

The securities are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your securities to maturity. See "- Risks Relating to the Securities Generally - Lack of Liquidity" above.

· Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Securities - As described under "The Estimated Value of the Securities" in this pricing supplement, the securities can be thought of as securities that combine a fixed-income debt component with one or more derivatives. As a result, the factors that influence the values of fixed-income debt and derivative instruments will also influence the terms of the securities at issuance and their value in the secondary market. Accordingly, the secondary market price of the securities 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 levels of the Indices, 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 of the Indices;
· the time to maturity of the securities;
· the dividend rates on the equity securities included in the Indices;
· the actual and expected positive or negative correlation between the Indices, or the actual or expected absence of any such correlation;
· interest and yield rates in the market generally; and
· a variety of other economic, financial, political, regulatory and judicial events.

Additionally, independent pricing vendors and/or third party broker-dealers may publish a price for the securities, which may also be reflected on customer account statements. This price may be different (higher or lower) than the price of the securities, if any, at which JPMS may be willing to purchase your securities in the secondary market.

Risks Relating to the Indices

· Each of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Wells Fargo & Company (the Parent Company of WFS) Is Currently One of the Companies that Make Up the S&P 500® Index - Each of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Wells Fargo & Company (the parent company of WFS) is currently one of the companies that make up the S&P 500® Index. JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Wells Fargo & Company will not have any obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the securities in taking any corporate action that might affect the value of the S&P 500® Index and the securities.
· An Investment in the Securities Is Subject to Risks Associated with Small Capitalization Stocks With Respect to the Russell 2000® Index - The equity securities included in the Russell 2000® Index are issued by companies with

relatively small market capitalization. The stock prices of smaller companies may be more volatile than stock prices of large capitalization companies. Small capitalization companies may be less able to withstand adverse economic, market, trade and competitive conditions relative to larger companies. These companies tend to be less well-established than large market capitalization companies. Small capitalization companies are less likely to pay dividends on their stocks, and the presence of a dividend payment could be a factor that limits downward stock price pressure under adverse market conditions.

· The Maturity Payment Amount Will Depend upon the Performance of Each Index and Therefore the Securities Are Subject to the Following Risks, Each as Discussed in More Detail in the Accompanying Product Supplement.
· You Will Have No Ownership Rights in Either Index or Any of the Securities Underlying the Indices. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing directly in either or both Indices or any of the securities underlying the Indices or exchange-traded or over-the-counter instruments based on any of the foregoing. As an investor in the securities, you will not have any ownership interests or rights in any of the foregoing.
· Historical Levels of an Index Should Not Be Taken as an Indication of the Future Performance of That Index During the Term of the Securities.
· The Sponsor of an Index May Adjust That Index in a Way That Affects Its Level, and No Index Sponsor Has an Obligation to Consider Your Interests.
· We Cannot Control Actions by Any of the Unaffiliated Companies Whose Securities Are Included in an Index.
· We and Our Affiliates Have No Affiliation with Any Index Sponsor and Have Not Independently Verified Its Public Disclosure of Information.

Hypothetical Examples and Returns

The payout profile and return table below illustrate the maturity payment amount for a security on a hypothetical offering of securities based on a range of hypothetical index returns of the lowest performing Index, with the assumptions set forth in the table below. The examples below illustrate the maturity payment amount for a security on a hypothetical offering of securities under various scenarios, with the assumptions set forth in the examples below. The terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples do not represent the actual starting level or threshold level of either Index.

The hypothetical starting level of 100.00 for each Index has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and may not represent a likely actual starting level for either Index. The actual starting level for each Index will be the closing level of that Index on the pricing date and will be specified in the pricing supplement. For historical data regarding the actual closing levels of the Indices, please see the historical information set forth under "The S&P 500® Index" and "The Russell 2000® Index" in this pricing supplement.

The payout profile, return table and examples below assume that an investor purchases the securities for $1,000 per security. These examples are for purposes of illustration only and the values used in the examples may have been rounded for ease of analysis. The payout profile, return table and examples below do not take into account any tax consequences from investing in the securities. The actual maturity payment amount and resulting pre-tax total rate of return will depend on the actual terms of the securities.

Upside Participation Rate: 150.00%
Hypothetical Maximum Return: 12.00% of the principal amount per security (the lowest maximum return)
Hypothetical Starting Level: For each Index, 100.00

Market Linked Securities-Leveraged Upside Participation to a Cap and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Lowest Performing of the S&P 500® Index and the Russell 2000® Index due December 9, 2025

Hypothetical Examples

Example 1. The ending level of the lowest performing Index is greater than its starting level, and the maturity payment amount is greater than the principal amount and reflects a return that is less than the maximum return:

S&P 500® Index Russell 2000® Index
Hypothetical starting level: 100.00 100.00
Hypothetical ending level: 105.00 145.00
Hypothetical threshold level: 90.00 90.00
Hypothetical index return
(ending level - starting level)/starting level:
5.00% 45.00%

Step 1: Determine which Index is the lowest performing Index.

In this example, the S&P 500® Index has the lowest index return and is, therefore, the lowest performing Index.

Step 2: Determine the maturity payment amount based on the index return of the lowest performing Index.

Because the hypothetical ending level of the lowest performing Index is greater than its hypothetical starting level, the maturity payment amount per security would be equal to the principal amount of $1,000 plus a positive return equal to the lesser of:

(i) $1,000 × index return of the lowest performing Index × upside participation rate

$1,000 × 5.00% × 150.00%

= $75.00; and

(ii) the maximum return of $120.00

On the stated maturity date, you would receive $1,075.00 per security.

Example 2. The ending level of the lowest performing Index is greater than its starting level, and the maturity payment amount is greater than the principal amount and reflects a return equal to the maximum return:

S&P 500® Index Russell 2000® Index
Hypothetical starting level: 100.00 100.00
Hypothetical ending level: 160.00 150.00
Hypothetical threshold level: 90.00 90.00
Hypothetical index return
(ending level - starting level)/starting level:
60.00% 50.00%

Step 1: Determine which Index is the lowest performing Index.

In this example, the Russell 2000® Index has the lowest index return and is, therefore, the lowest performing Index.

Step 2: Determine the maturity payment amount based on the index return of the lowest performing Index.

Because the hypothetical ending level of the lowest performing Index is greater than its hypothetical starting level, the maturity payment amount per security would be equal to the principal amount of $1,000 plus a positive return equal to the lesser of:

(i) $1,000 × index return of the lowest performing Index × upside participation rate

$1,000 × 50.00% × 150.00%

= $750.00; and

(ii) the maximum return of $120.00

On the stated maturity date, you would receive $1,120.00 per security, which is the maximum maturity payment amount.

In addition to limiting your return on the securities, the maximum return limits the positive effect of the upside participation rate. If the ending level of the lowest performing Index is greater than its starting level, you will participate in the performance of that Index at a rate of 150% up to a certain point. However, the effect of the upside participation rate will be progressively reduced for ending levels of the lowest performing Index that are greater than 108.00% of the starting level (assuming a maximum return of 12.00% of the principal amount or $120.00 per security, the lowest maximum return) since your return on the securities for any ending level of the lowest performing Index greater than 108.00% of its starting level will be limited to the maximum return.

Example 3. The ending level of the lowest performing Index is less than its starting level but greater than its threshold level, and the maturity payment amount is equal to the principal amount:

S&P 500® Index Russell 2000® Index
Hypothetical starting level: 100.00 100.00
Hypothetical ending level: 115.00 95.00
Hypothetical threshold level: 90.00 90.00
Hypothetical index return
(ending level - starting level)/starting level:
15.00% -5.00%

Step 1: Determine which Index is the lowest performing Index.

In this example, the Russell 2000® Index has the lowest index return and is, therefore, the lowest performing Index.

Step 2: Determine the maturity payment amount based on the index return of the lowest performing Index.

Because the hypothetical ending level of the lowest performing Index is less than its hypothetical starting level, but not by more than the buffer amount, you would not lose any of the principal amount of your securities.

On the stated maturity date, you would receive $1,000.00 per security.

Example 4. The ending level of the lowest performing Index is less than its threshold level, and the maturity payment amount is less than the principal amount:

S&P 500® Index Russell 2000® Index
Hypothetical starting level: 100.00 100.00
Hypothetical ending level: 50.00 120.00
Hypothetical threshold level: 90.00 90.00
Hypothetical index return
(ending level - starting level)/starting level:
-50.00% 20.00%

Step 1: Determine which Index is the lowest performing Index.

In this example, the S&P 500® Index has the lowest index return and is, therefore, the lowest performing Index.

Step 2: Determine the maturity payment amount based on the index return of the lowest performing Index.

Because the hypothetical ending level of the lowest performing Index is less than its hypothetical threshold level, you would lose a portion of the principal amount of your securities and receive the maturity payment amount equal to:

$1,000 + [$1,000 × (index return of the lowest performing Index + buffer amount)]

$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-50.00% + 10%)]

= $600.00

On the stated maturity date, you would receive $600.00 per security.

If the ending level of the lowest performing Index is less than its threshold level, you will have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the decrease in the level of that Index in excess of the buffer amount, and you will lose some, and possibly up to 90%, of the principal amount of your securities at maturity.

The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the securities shown above apply only if you hold the securities 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.

Tax Considerations

You should review carefully the section entitled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the accompanying product supplement no. WF-1-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 securities.

Based on current market conditions, in the opinion of our special tax counsel it is reasonable to treat the securities 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 securities should be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if you hold your securities for more than a year, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of securities 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 securities 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 securities, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by this notice.

Section 871(m) of the Code and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder ("Section 871(m)") generally impose a 30% withholding tax (unless an income tax treaty applies) on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid to Non-U.S. Holders with respect to certain financial instruments linked to U.S. equities or indices that include U.S. equities. Section 871(m) provides certain exceptions to this withholding regime, including for instruments linked to certain broad-based indices that meet requirements set forth in the applicable Treasury regulations. 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 our representation that the securities do not have a "delta of one" within the meaning of the regulations, our special tax counsel believes that these regulations should not apply to the securities with regard to non-U.S. Holders, and we have determined to treat the securities as not being subject to Section 871(m). 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 securities. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to the securities.
