12 month Auto Callable Yield Notes

Overview

May be appropriate for investors seeking interest payments at a higher interest rate than the current yield on a conventional debt security with the same maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. Investors are exposed to full downside market exposure if the Underlying declines by more than the Buffer Amount on any trading day during the Monitoring Period. Under these circumstances at maturity you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Ending Underlying Level is less than the Starting Underlying Level. You will lose some or all of your principal at maturity if the notes are not automatically called and the conditions described above are satisfied.

If on any Call Date, the closing level of the Underlying is greater than its closing level on the Pricing Date, the Notes will be automatically called.

Any payment on the notes is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Interest

Interest will be payable monthly in arrears. If an interest payment date is not a business day, payment will be made on the next business day immediately following such day, but no additional interest will accrue as a result of the delayed payment.

Payment at Maturity

Payment at maturity for each $1,000 principal amount note will be a cash payment of $1,000 or, if the Underlying has declined by more than the Buffer Amount during the Monitoring Period and remains below its initial level on the Pricing Date, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Ending Underlying Level is less than the Starting Underlying Level. In the event the Underlying appreciates relative to its initial value, the investor will receive $1,000 for each $1,000 principal amount invested, subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co. In all cases, payment will include any accrued and unpaid interest.

Automatic Call

If the notes are automatically called, the investor will receive a cash payment of $1,000 for each $1,000 principal amount note, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

Selected Benefits

The notes offer a higher interest rate than the yield currently available on debt securities of comparable maturity issued by us.
Monthly interest payments of [8.00%-10.00%] per annum.
If the notes are held to maturity, the Buffer Amount offers contingent market downside protection against a decrease in the level of the Underlying.

Selected Risks

Your investment in the notes may result in a loss. If the Underlying declines by more than the Buffer Amount on any trading day during the Monitoring Period, you could lose up to your entire principal amount of your notes.
The benefit provided by the Buffer Amount may terminate on any day during the term of the notes.
Any payment on the notes is subject to our credit risk. Therefore the value of the notes prior to maturity are subject to changes in the market’s view of our creditworthiness.
You are exposed to the risks of the decline in the closing level of the Underlying.
Your payment at maturity may be determined by the Underlying.
Return is limited to the principal amount plus accrued interest regardless of any appreciation of the Underlying.
The automatic call feature may force a potential early exit. There is no guarantee you will be able to reinvest the proceeds at a comparable interest rate for a similar level of risk.
No dividend payments, voting rights or ownership rights with the securities included in the Underlying.

Selected Risks (Continued)

The anti-dilution protection for the Underlying is limited and may be discretionary.
JPMS’s estimated value is not determined by references to our credit spreads for our conventional fixed rate debt.
JPMS’s estimated value does not represent future values and may differ from others’ estimates.
The value of the notes, which may be reflected in customer account statements, may be higher than JPMS’s then current estimated value for a limited time period.
Lack of liquidity: J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, acting as agent for the Issuer (and who we refer to as JPMS), intends to offer to purchase the notes in the secondary market but is not required to do so. The price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to purchase notes from you in the secondary market, if at all, may result in a significant loss of your principal.
Potential conflicts: We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of notes, including acting as calculation agent, hedging our obligations under the notes and making the assumptions to determine the pricing of the notes and the estimated value of the notes when the terms of the notes are set. It is possible that such hedging or other trading activities of J.P. Morgan or its affiliates could result in substantial returns for J.P. Morgan and its affiliates while the value of the notes decline.
The tax consequences of the notes may be uncertain. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes.

The risks identified above are not exhaustive. Please see “Risk Factors” in the applicable product supplement and “Selected Risk Considerations” to the applicable term sheet for additional information.
