Notes Linked to a Weighted Basket Consisting of the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF and the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets ETF due September 18, 2020

General

·Unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. maturing September 18, 2020
·Cash payment at maturity of principal plus the Additional Amount, as described below
·The notes are designed for investors who seek exposure to 85% of any appreciation of a weighted basket of two international exchange-traded funds. Investors should be willing to forgo interest and dividend payments, while seeking payment of their principal in full at maturity. Any payment on the notes is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co.
·Minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof
·The notes priced on September 13, 2013 and are expected to settle on or about September 18, 2013.

Key Terms

Basket: The notes are linked to a weighted basket consisting of the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF (Bloomberg Ticker: EFA) and the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (Bloomberg Ticker: EEM) (each a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”).
Component Weights: The iShares® MSCI EAFE Weight is 60.00% and the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Weight is 40.00% (each a “Component Weight,” and collectively, the “Component Weights”)
Payment at Maturity:

At maturity, you will receive a cash payment, for each $1,000 principal amount note, of $1,000 plus the Additional Amount, which will not be less than zero.

You are entitled to repayment of principal in full at maturity, subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Additional Amount: The Additional Amount per $1,000 principal amount note payable at maturity will equal $1,000 × the Basket Return × the Participation Rate, provided that the Additional Amount will not be less than zero.
Participation Rate: 85%
Basket Return: (Ending Basket Level – Starting Basket Level)
                 Starting Basket Level
Starting Basket Level: Set equal to 100 on the pricing date
Ending Basket Level: The Basket Closing Level on the Observation Date
Basket Closing Level: On the Observation Date, the Basket Closing Level will be calculated as follows:
  100 × [1 + (iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Return × iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Weight) + (iShares® MSCI EAFE Return × iShares® MSCI EAFE Weight)]  
  Each of the returns set forth in the formula above refers to the Fund Return for the relevant Fund, which reflects the performance of the relevant Fund, expressed as a percentage, from the closing price of one share of that Fund on the pricing date, divided by the applicable Share Adjustment Factor, to the closing price of one share of that Fund on the Observation Date.  The closing price of one share of the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF on the pricing date was $62.81.  The closing price of one share of the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets ETF on the pricing date was $41.16.
Share Adjustment Factor: With respect to each Fund, set at 1.0 on the pricing date and subject to adjustment under certain circumstances.  See “General Terms of Notes — Additional Fund Provisions — A. Anti-Dilution Adjustments” in the accompanying product supplement no. 6-I for further information about these adjustments.
Observation Date: September 15, 2020
Maturity Date: September 18, 2020
CUSIP: 48126NSK4
Subject to postponement in the event of a market disruption event and as described under “Description of Notes — Postponement of a Determination Date — A. Notes Linked to a Single Component” and “Description of Notes — Payment at Maturity — D. Other Terms” in the accompanying product supplement no. 6-I

Additional Terms Specific to the Notes

You should read this pricing supplement together with the prospectus dated November 14, 2011, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated November 14, 2011 relating to our Series E medium-term notes of which these notes are a part, and the more detailed information contained in product supplement no. 6-I dated November 14, 2011 and underlying supplement no. 1-I dated November 14, 2011. This pricing supplement, together with the documents listed below, contains the terms of the notes, supplements the term sheet related hereto dated September 13, 2013 and supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous oral statements as well as any other written materials including preliminary or indicative pricing terms, correspondence, trade ideas, structures for implementation, sample structures, fact sheets, brochures or other educational materials of ours. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement no. 6-I and “Risk Factors” in the accompanying underlying supplement no. 1-I, as the notes involve risks not associated with conventional debt securities. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers before you invest in the notes.

You may access these documents on the SEC website at www.sec.gov as follows (or if such address has changed, by reviewing our filings for the relevant date on the SEC website):

Selected Purchase Considerations

·POTENTIAL PRESERVATION OF CAPITAL AT MATURITY — Subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co., the payout formula allows you to receive at least the principal amount of your notes, if you hold the notes to maturity, regardless of the performance of the Basket. Because the notes are our unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, payment of any amount on the notes is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.
·UNCAPPED APPRECIATION POTENTIAL — At maturity, in addition to your principal, for each $1,000 principal amount note you will receive a payment equal to $1,000 × the Basket Return × the Participation Rate of 85%, provided that this payment (the Additional Amount) will not be less than zero. Because the Participation Rate of 85% is less than 100%, the Additional Amount, if any, you receive at maturity will not fully reflect the performance of the Basket.
·RETURN LINKED TO THE FUNDS — The return on the notes is linked to an unequally weighted basket consisting of the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets ETF and the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF.  Because the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF makes up 60% of the Basket, we expect that generally the market value of your notes and your payment at maturity will depend significantly on the performance of the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF.

The iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets ETF is an exchange-traded fund of iShares®, Inc., a registered investment company, which seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which we refer to as the Underlying Index with respect to the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets ETF.  The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance of global emerging markets.  On July 1, 2013, the name of the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets ETF was changed from the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund to the current name.  For additional information about the Fund, see the information set forth under “Fund Descriptions — The iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund” in the accompanying underlying supplement no. 1-I.

The iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF is an exchange-traded fund of iShares® Trust, a registered investment company, which seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI EAFE® Index, which we refer to as the Underlying Index with respect to the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF.  The MSCI EAFE® Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index intended to measure the equity market performance of the developed equity markets in Europe and Asia and in Australia and New Zealand.  On July 1, 2013, the name of the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF was changed from the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund to the current name. For additional information about the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF, see the information set forth under “Fund Descriptions — The iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund” in the accompanying underlying supplement no. 1-I.

·TAXED AS CONTINGENT PAYMENT DEBT INSTRUMENTS — You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” and in particular the subsection thereof entitled “—Notes Treated as Contingent Payment Debt Instruments” in the accompanying product supplement no. 6-I. In the opinion of our
JPMorgan Structured Investments —
PS-1
Notes Linked to a Weighted Basket Consisting of the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF and the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets ETF
 
 

special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, the notes will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as “contingent payment debt instruments.” You generally will be required to accrue original issue discount on your notes in each taxable year at the “comparable yield,” as determined by us, although we will not make any payment with respect to the notes until maturity. Upon sale or exchange (including at maturity), you will recognize taxable income or loss equal to the difference between the amount received from the sale or exchange and your adjusted basis in the note, which generally will equal the cost thereof, increased by the amount of original issue discount you have accrued in respect of the note. You generally must treat any income as interest income and any loss as ordinary loss to the extent of previous interest inclusions, and the balance as capital loss. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. You should consult your tax adviser concerning the application of these rules. Purchasers who are not initial purchasers of notes at their issue price should consult their tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in notes, including the treatment of the difference, if any, between the basis in their notes and the notes’ adjusted issue price.

Non-U.S. Holders — Additional Tax Consideration

Non-U.S. Holders should note that recently proposed Treasury regulations, if finalized in their current form, could impose a withholding tax at a rate of 30% (subject to reduction under an applicable income tax treaty) on amounts attributable to U.S.-source dividends (including, potentially, adjustments to account for extraordinary dividends) that are paid or “deemed paid” after December 31, 2013 under certain financial instruments, if certain other conditions are met. While significant aspects of the application of these proposed regulations to the notes are uncertain, if these proposed regulations were finalized in their current form, we (or other withholding agents) might determine that withholding is required with respect to notes held by a Non-U.S. Holder or that the Non-U.S. Holder must provide information to establish that withholding is not required. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the potential application of these proposed regulations. If withholding is required, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so withheld.

The discussion in the preceding paragraphs, when read in combination with the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” (and in particular the subsection thereof entitled “—Notes Treated as Contingent Payment Debt Instruments”) in the accompanying product supplement, constitutes the full opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of notes.

·COMPARABLE YIELD AND PROJECTED PAYMENT SCHEDULE We have determined that the “comparable yield” is an annual rate of 3.87%, compounded semiannually. Based on our determination of the comparable yield, the “projected payment schedule” per $1,000 principal amount note consists of a single payment at maturity, equal to $1,307.87. Assuming a semiannual accrual period, the following table sets out the amount of OID that will accrue with respect to a note during each calendar year, based upon our determination of the comparable yield and the projected payment schedule.

January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015 $41.05 $91.52
January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016 $42.65 $134.17
January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017 $44.32 $178.49
January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018 $46.04 $224.53
January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019 $47.84 $272.37
January 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020 $35.50 $307.87

Neither the comparable yield nor the projected payment schedule constitutes a representation by us regarding the actual Additional Amount, if any, that we will pay on the notes. The amount you actually receive at maturity or upon any earlier sale or exchange of your notes will affect your income for that year, as described above under “— Taxed as Contingent Payment Debt Instruments.”

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the notes involves significant risks. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Basket, the Funds, the Underlying Indices, or any of the equity securities held by the Funds or included in the Underlying Indices. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement no. 6-I dated November 14, 2011 and the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying underlying supplement no. 1-I dated November 14, 2011.

·MARKET RISK — The return on the notes at maturity is linked to the performance of the Basket, and will depend on whether, and the extent to which, the Basket Return is positive. YOU WILL RECEIVE NO MORE THAN THE FULL PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF YOUR NOTES AT MATURITY IF THE BASKET RETURN IS ZERO OR NEGATIVE.
JPMorgan Structured Investments —
PS-2
Notes Linked to a Weighted Basket Consisting of the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF and the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets ETF
 
 
·THE NOTES MIGHT NOT PAY MORE THAN THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT AT MATURITY — You may receive a lower payment at maturity than you would have received if you had invested directly in the Funds, the equity securities held by the Funds or included in the Underlying Indices. If the Ending Basket Level does not exceed the Starting Basket Level, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note. This will be true even if the level of the Basket was higher than the Starting Basket Level at some time during the term of the notes but falls below the Starting Basket Level on the Observation Date.
·THE PARTICIPATION RATE WILL LIMIT RETURNS — Your investment in the notes may not perform as well as an investment in other debt securities the return of which is based on the full performance of the Basket. Your ability to participate in any appreciation of the Basket as measured by the Ending Basket Level and the Starting Basket Level will be limited by the Participation Rate. Because the Participation Rate is 85%, you will only participate in 85% of any appreciation in the Basket above the Starting Basket Level. The Additional Amount, if any, you receive at maturity will not fully reflect the performance of the Basket.
·CREDIT RISK OF JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.The notes are subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co., and our credit ratings and credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the notes. Investors are dependent on JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s ability to pay all amounts due on the notes. Any actual or potential change in our creditworthiness or credit spreads, as determined by the market for taking our credit risk, is likely to adversely affect the value of the notes. If we 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.
·POTENTIAL CONFLICTS — We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the notes, including acting as calculation agent and as an agent of the offering of the notes, hedging our obligations under the notes and making the assumptions used to determine the pricing of the notes and the estimated value of the notes when the terms of the notes are set, which we refer to as JPMS’s estimated value. In performing these duties, our 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 business activities, including hedging and trading activities, could cause our 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 the Notes Generally” in the accompanying product supplement no. 6-I for additional information about these risks.
·JPMS’S ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES IS LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE (PRICE TO PUBLIC) OF THE NOTES — JPMS’s estimated value is only an estimate using several factors. The original issue price of the notes exceeds JPMS’s estimated value 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 “JPMS’s Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
·JPMS’S ESTIMATED VALUE DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE VALUES OF THE NOTES AND MAY DIFFER FROM OTHERS’ ESTIMATES — JPMS’s estimated value of the notes is determined by reference to JPMS’s internal pricing models when the terms of the notes are set. This estimated value is based on market conditions and other relevant factors existing at that time and JPMS’s assumptions about market parameters, which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors. Different pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations for notes that are greater than or less than JPMS’s estimated value. 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 creditworthiness, interest rate movements and other relevant factors, which may impact the price, if any, at which JPMS would be willing to buy notes from you in secondary market transactions. See “JPMS’s Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
·JPMS’S ESTIMATED VALUE IS NOT DETERMINED BY REFERENCE TO CREDIT SPREADS FOR OUR CONVENTIONAL FIXED-RATE DEBT — The internal funding rate used in the determination of JPMS’s estimated value generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. The discount is based on, among other things, our 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 our conventional fixed-rate debt. If JPMS were to use the interest rate implied by our conventional fixed-rate credit spreads, we would expect the economic terms of the notes to be more favorable to you. Consequently, our use of an internal funding rate would have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any secondary market prices of the notes. See “JPMS’s 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 JPMS’S THEN-CURRENT ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES FOR A LIMITED TIME PERIOD — We generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the notes will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period. These costs can include projected hedging profits, if any, and, in some circumstances, estimated hedging costs and our secondary market credit spreads for structured debt issuances. See “Secondary Market Prices of the Notes” in this pricing supplement for additional information relating to this initial period. Accordingly, the estimated value of your notes during this initial period may be lower than the value of the notes as published by JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer account statements).
JPMorgan Structured Investments —
PS-3
Notes Linked to a Weighted Basket Consisting of the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF and the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets ETF
 
 
·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 secondary market credit spreads for structured debt issuances and, also, because secondary market prices (a) exclude selling commissions and (b) may exclude projected hedging profits, if any, and estimated hedging costs that are included in the original issue price of the notes. As a result, the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, is likely to be lower than the original issue price. Any sale by you prior to the maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you. See the immediately following risk consideration for information about additional factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the notes.

The notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity. See “— Lack of Liquidity” below.

·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 level of the Basket, including:
·any actual or potential change in our creditworthiness or credit spreads;
·customary bid-ask spreads for similarly sized trades;
·secondary market credit spreads for structured debt issuances;
·the actual and expected volatility of the Funds;
·the time to maturity of the notes;
·the dividend rates on the equity securities underlying the Funds or included in the Underlying Indices;
·interest and yield rates in the market generally;
·the occurrence of certain events to the Funds that may or may not require an adjustment to the applicable Share Adjustment Factor; 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 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.

·NO INTEREST OR DIVIDEND PAYMENTS OR VOTING RIGHTS — As a holder of the notes, 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 shares of the Fund or the equity securities held by the Funds or included in the Underlying Indices would have.
·THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FUNDS — Although shares of the Funds are listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”) and a number of similar products have been traded on NYSE Arca and other securities exchanges for varying periods of time, there is no assurance that an active trading market will continue for the shares of the Funds or that there will be liquidity in the trading market. The Funds are subject to management risk, which is the risk that the investment strategies of the applicable 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 Funds, and consequently, the value of the notes.
·THE NOTES ARE SUBJECT TO CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK — Because the prices of the equity securities held by the Funds are converted into U.S. dollars for the purposes of calculating the net asset value of those Funds, holders of the notes will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to loss of the currencies in which the equity securities held by those Funds are traded. Your net exposure will depend on the extent to which those currencies strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar and the relative weights of equity securities denominated in those currencies in those Funds. If taking into account those weights, the U.S. dollar strengthens against those currencies, the net asset value of those Funds will be adversely affected, which may adversely affect the closing prices of those Funds and the payment at maturity, if any, may be reduced. Of particular importance to potential currency exchange risk are:
·existing and expected rates of inflation;
·existing and expected interest rate levels;
·the balance of payments in the countries issuing those currencies and the United States and between each country and its major trading partners;
·political, civil or military unrest in the countries issuing those currencies and the United States; and
·the extent of government surpluses or deficits in the issuing countries of those currencies and the United States.

All of these factors are in turn sensitive to the monetary, fiscal and trade policies pursued by the governments of the countries issuing those currencies and the United States and other countries important to international trade and finance.

·CORRELATION (OR LACK OF CORRELATION) OF THE FUNDS — The notes are linked to an unequally weighted Basket composed of Funds. Because the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF makes up 60% of the Basket, we expect that generally the market value of your notes and your payment at maturity will depend significantly on the performance of the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF. Price movements in the Funds may or may not correlate with each other. At a time when the value of one or more of the Funds increases, the value of the other Funds may not increase as much or may even decline. Therefore, in calculating the Ending Basket Level, increases in the
JPMorgan Structured Investments —
PS-4
Notes Linked to a Weighted Basket Consisting of the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF and the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets ETF
 
 

value of one or more of the Funds may be moderated, or more than offset, by lesser increases or declines in the value of the other Funds. In addition, high correlation of movements in the values of the Funds during periods of negative returns among the Funds could have an adverse effect on the payment at maturity on the notes. There can be no assurance that the Ending Basket Level will be higher than the Starting Basket Level.

·DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE FUNDS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE UNDERLYING INDICES — The Funds do not fully replicate their respective Underlying Indices, may hold securities not included in their respective Underlying Indices and their performance will reflect additional transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of their respective Underlying Indices, all of which may lead to a lack of correlation between the Funds and their respective Underlying Indices. In addition, corporate actions with respect to the sample of equity securities (such as mergers and spin-offs) may impact the variance between a Fund and its Underlying Index. Finally, because the shares of the Funds are traded on NYSE Arca, and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the market value of one share of a Fund may differ from the net asset value per share of that Fund. For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of the Funds may not correlate with the performance of their respective Underlying Indices.
·NON-U.S. SECURITIES RISK — The equity securities underlying the Fund 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 securities markets in those countries, including risks of volatility in those markets, government intervention in those markets and cross shareholdings in companies in certain countries. Also, 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.
·EMERGING MARKETS RISK — The equity securities held by the Funds have been issued by non-U.S. companies located in emerging markets countries. Countries with emerging markets may have relatively unstable governments, may present the risks of nationalization of businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and prohibitions on the repatriation of assets, and may have less protection of property rights than more developed countries. The economies of countries with emerging markets may be based on only a few industries, may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global trade conditions, and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt burdens or inflation rates. Local securities markets may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at times.
·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.
·THE ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION FOR THE FUNDS IS LIMITED — The calculation agent will make adjustments to the Share Adjustment Factor for a Fund for certain events affecting the shares of that Fund. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment in response to all events that could affect the shares of the Funds. 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.

What Is the Payment at Maturity, Assuming a Range of Performances for the Basket?

The following table and examples illustrate the payment at maturity (including, where relevant, the payment of the Additional Amount) for a $1,000 principal amount note for a hypothetical range of performances for the Basket Return from -80% to +80% and reflects the Participation Rate of 85% and the Starting Basket Level of 100.

The following results are based solely on the hypothetical examples cited. Each hypothetical payment at maturity set forth below is for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual payment at maturity applicable to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following table and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Hypothetical Examples of Amount Payable at Maturity

The following examples illustrate how a payment at maturity set forth in the table above is calculated.

Example 1: The level of the Basket increases from the Starting Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 120. Because the Ending Basket Level of 120 is greater than the Starting Basket Level of 100 and the Basket Return is 20%, the Additional Amount is equal to $170 and the payment at maturity is equal to $1,170 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × 20% × 85%) = $1,170

Example 2: The level of the Basket decreases from the Starting Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 80. Because the Ending Basket Level of 80 is less than the Starting Basket Level of 100, the payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note is the principal amount of $1,000.

Example 3: The level of the Basket neither increases nor decreases from the Starting Basket Level of 100. Because the Ending Basket Level of 100 is equal to the Starting Basket Level of 100, the payment at maturity is equal to $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.

The following graph demonstrates the hypothetical total return on the notes at maturity for a subset of the Basket Returns detailed in the table on the previous page (-30% to 40%). The numbers appearing in the graph have been rounded for ease of analysis.

The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the notes shown above apply only if you hold the notes for their entire term. These hypotheticals do not reflect fees or expenses that would be associated with any sale in the secondary market. If these fees and expenses were included, the hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments shown above would likely be lower.

Historical Information

The following graphs show the historical weekly performance of each Fund from January 4, 2008 through September 6, 2013, as well as the Basket as a whole from January 4, 2008 through September 13, 2013. The graph of the historical Basket performance assumes the Basket level on January 4, 2008 was 100 and the Component Weights specified on the cover of this pricing supplement on that date. The closing price of one share of the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF on September 13, 2013 was $62.81. The closing price of one share of the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets ETF on September 13, 2013 was $41.16.

We obtained the various Fund closing prices below from Bloomberg Financial Markets, without independent verification. The historical prices set forth in the graph for the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets ETF below have been adjusted for 3-for-1 stock splits that were paid on July 24, 2008. The historical prices of each Fund and the historical levels of the Basket should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the closing price of one share of any Fund on the Observation Date. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of the Funds will result in a positive return on your initial investment at maturity.

JPMS’s Estimated Value of the Notes

JPMS’s 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 our internal funding rate for structured debt described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes. JPMS’s estimated value 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 JPMS’s estimated value generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt.  For additional information, see “Selected Risk Considerations — JPMS’s Estimated Value Is Not Determined by Reference to Credit Spreads for Our Conventional Fixed-Rate Debt.” The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes is derived from JPMS’s internal pricing models. 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, JPMS’s estimated value of the notes is determined when the terms of the notes are set based on market conditions and other relevant factors and assumptions existing at that time. See “Selected Risk Considerations — JPMS’s Estimated Value Does Not Represent Future Values of the Notes and May Differ from Others’ Estimates.”

JPMS’s estimated value of the notes is lower than the original issue price of the notes because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the notes are included in the original issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. Because hedging our obligations entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or it may result in a loss. A portion of the profits 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 — JPMS’s Estimated Value of the Notes Is Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to Public) of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.

Secondary Market Prices of the Notes

For information about factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the notes, see “Selected Risk Considerations — Secondary Market Prices of the Notes Will Be Impacted by Many Economic and Market Factors” in this pricing supplement. In addition, we generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the notes will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period that is intended to be the shorter of six months and one-half of the stated term of the notes. The length of any such initial period reflects the structure of the notes, whether our affiliates expect to earn a profit in connection with our hedging activities, the estimated costs of hedging the notes and when these costs are incurred, as determined by JPMS. 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 JPMS’s Then-Current Estimated Value of the Notes for a Limited Time Period.”

Supplemental Use of Proceeds

The net proceeds we receive from the sale of the notes will be used for general corporate purposes and, in part, by us or one or more of our affiliates in connection with hedging our obligations under the notes.

The original issue price of the notes is equal to JPMS’s 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.
