Supplemental Terms of the Notes

Any values of the Fund, 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 notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the indenture governing the notes, that amendment will become effective without consent of the holders of the notes or any other party.

Hypothetical Payout Profile

The following table and graph illustrate the hypothetical total return and payment at maturity on the notes linked to a hypothetical Fund. The “total return” as used in this pricing supplement is the number, expressed as a percentage that results from comparing the payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note to $1,000. The hypothetical total returns and payments set forth below assume the following:

·an Initial Value of $100.00;
·a Maximum Return of 44.25%;
·an Upside Leverage Factor of 1.50; and
·a Buffer Amount of 20.00%.

The hypothetical Initial Value of $100.00 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and may not represent a likely actual Initial Value. The actual Initial Value will be the closing price of one share of the Fund on the Pricing Date and will be provided in the pricing supplement. For historical data regarding the actual closing prices of one share of the Fund, please see the historical information set forth under “The Fund” in this pricing supplement.

Each hypothetical total return or hypothetical payment at maturity set forth below is for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual total return or payment at maturity applicable to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following table and graph have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Final Value Fund Return Total Return on the Notes Payment at Maturity

The following graph demonstrates the hypothetical payments at maturity on the notes for a range of Fund Returns. There can be no assurance that the performance of the Fund will result in the return of any of your principal amount in excess of $200.00 per $1,000 principal amount note, subject to the credit risks of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co.

How the Notes Work

Upside Scenario:

If the Final Value is greater than the Initial Value, investors will receive at maturity the $1,000 principal amount plus a return equal to the Fund Return times the Upside Leverage Factor of 1.50, up to the Maximum Return of at least 44.25%. Assuming a hypothetical Maximum Return of 44.25%, an investor will realize the maximum payment at maturity at a Final Value at or above 129.50% of the Initial Value.

·If the closing price of one share of the Fund increases 5.00%, investors will receive at maturity a return equal to 7.50%, or $1,075.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.
·Assuming a hypothetical Maximum Return of 44.25%, if the closing price of one share of the Fund increases 65.00%, investors will receive at maturity a return equal to the 44.25% Maximum Return, or $1,442.50 per $1,000 principal amount note, which is the maximum payment at maturity.

Par Scenario:

If the Final Value is equal to the Initial Value or is less than the Initial Value by up to the Buffer Amount of 20.00%, investors will receive at maturity the principal amount of their notes.

Downside Scenario:

If the Final Value is less than the Initial Value by more than the Buffer Amount of 20.00%, investors will lose 1% of the principal amount of their notes for every 1% that the Final Value is less than the Initial Value by more than the Buffer Amount.

·For example, if the closing price of one share of the Fund declines 60.00%, investors will lose 40.00% of their principal amount and receive only $600.00 per $1,000 principal amount note at maturity, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-60.00% + 20.00%)] = $600.00

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 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.

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 product supplement.

Risks Relating to the Notes Generally

·YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS —

The notes do not guarantee any return of principal. If the Final Value is less than the Initial Value by more than 20.00%, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Final Value is less than the Initial Value by more than 20.00%. Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose up to 80.00% of your principal amount at maturity.

·YOUR MAXIMUM GAIN ON THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM RETURN,

regardless of any appreciation of the Fund, which may be significant.

·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 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. Aside from the initial capital contribution from JPMorgan Chase & Co., substantially all of our assets relate to obligations of our affiliates to make payments under loans made by us or other intercompany agreements. As a result, we are dependent upon payments from our affiliates to meet our obligations under the notes. If these affiliates do not make payments to us and we fail 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.

·THE NOTES DO NOT PAY INTEREST.
·YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE DIVIDENDS ON THE FUND OR THE SECURITIES HELD BY THE FUND OR HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THE FUND OR THOSE SECURITIES.
·LACK OF LIQUIDITY —

The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Accordingly, 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. You may not be able to sell your 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.

·THE FINAL TERMS AND VALUATION OF THE NOTES WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE PRICING SUPPLEMENT —

You should consider your potential investment in the notes based on the minimums for the estimated value of the notes and the Maximum Return.

Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest

·POTENTIAL CONFLICTS —

We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the notes. In performing these duties, our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s economic interests are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in 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.

Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes

·THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES WILL BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE (PRICE TO PUBLIC) OF THE NOTES —

The estimated value of the notes is only an estimate determined by reference to several factors. The original issue price of the notes will exceed the estimated value of the notes because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the notes are

PS-4 | Structured Investments

Capped Buffered Return Enhanced Notes Linked to the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF

 

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 “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.

·THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE VALUES OF THE NOTES AND MAY DIFFER FROM OTHERS’ ESTIMATES —

See “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.

·THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES IS DERIVED BY REFERENCE TO AN INTERNAL FUNDING RATE —

The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied funding rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference may be based on, among other things, our and our affiliates’ view of the funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the notes in comparison to those costs for the conventional fixed income instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any secondary market prices of the notes. See “The 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 THE 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. 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).

·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 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 notes. As a result, the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy the 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.

·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 price of one share of the Fund. 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. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — Secondary market prices of the notes will be impacted by many economic and market factors” in the accompanying product supplement.

Risks Relating to the Fund

·THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FUND —

The Fund is subject to management risk, which is the risk that the investment strategies of the Fund’s 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 Fund and, consequently, the value of the notes.

·THE PERFORMANCE AND MARKET VALUE OF THE FUND, PARTICULARLY DURING PERIODS OF MARKET VOLATILITY, MAY NOT CORRELATE WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND’S UNDERLYING INDEX AS WELL AS THE NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE —

The Fund does not fully replicate its Underlying Index (as defined under “The Fund” below) and may hold securities different from those included in its Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of the Fund will reflect additional transaction costs and fees

PS-5 | Structured Investments

Capped Buffered Return Enhanced Notes Linked to the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF

 

that are not included in the calculation of its Underlying Index. All of these factors may lead to a lack of correlation between the performance of the Fund and its Underlying Index. In addition, corporate actions with respect to the equity securities underlying the Fund (such as mergers and spin-offs) may impact the variance between the performances of the Fund and its Underlying Index. Finally, because the shares of the Fund are traded on a securities exchange and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the market value of one share of the Fund may differ from the net asset value per share of the Fund.

During periods of market volatility, securities underlying the Fund may be unavailable in the secondary market, market participants may be unable to calculate accurately the net asset value per share of the Fund and the liquidity of the Fund may be adversely affected. This kind of market volatility may also disrupt the ability of market participants to create and redeem shares of the Fund. Further, market volatility may adversely affect, sometimes materially, the prices at which market participants are willing to buy and sell shares of the Fund. As a result, under these circumstances, the market value of shares of the Fund may vary substantially from the net asset value per share of the Fund. For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of the Fund may not correlate with the performance of its Underlying Index as well as the net asset value per share of the Fund, which could materially and adversely affect the value of the notes in the secondary market and/or reduce any payment on the notes.

·RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INTERNET SECTOR —

All or substantially all of the equity securities held by the Fund are issued by companies whose primary line of business is directly associated with the internet sector. As a result, the value of the notes may be subject to greater volatility and be more adversely affected by a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting this sector than a different investment linked to securities of a more broadly diversified group of issuers. Investments in internet companies may be volatile. Internet companies are subject to intense competition, the risk of product obsolescence, changes in consumer preferences and legal, regulatory and political changes. They are also especially at risk of hacking and other cybersecurity events. In addition, it can be difficult to determine what qualifies as an internet company. These factors could affect the internet sector and could affect the value of the equity securities held by the Fund and the price of one share of the Fund during the term of the notes, which may adversely affect the value of the notes.

·NON-U.S. SECURITIES RISK —

The equity securities held by 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 the home countries of the issuers of those non-U.S. equity securities.  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 Fund 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.

·THE NOTES ARE SUBJECT TO CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK —

Because the prices of the equity securities held by the Fund are converted into U.S. dollars for purposes of calculating the net asset value of the Fund, holders of the notes will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the currencies in which the equity securities held by the Fund trade. Your net exposure will depend on the extent to which those currencies strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar and the relative weight of equity securities held by the Fund denominated in each of those currencies. If, taking into account the relevant weighting, the U.S. dollar strengthens against those currencies, the price of the Fund will be adversely affected and any payment on the notes may be reduced.

·RECENT EXECUTIVE ORDERS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND —

Pursuant to recent executive orders, U.S. persons are prohibited from engaging in transactions in, or possession of, publicly traded securities of certain companies that are determined to be linked to the People’s Republic of China military, intelligence and security apparatus, or securities that are derivative of, or are designed to provide investment exposure to, those securities.  If the issuer of any of the equity securities held by the Fund is in the future designated as such a prohibited company, the value of that company may be adversely affected, perhaps significantly, which would adversely affect the performance of the Fund.  In addition, under these circumstances, each of the sponsor of the Underlying Index for the Fund and the Fund is expected to remove the equity

PS-6 | Structured Investments

Capped Buffered Return Enhanced Notes Linked to the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF

 

securities of that company from the Underlying Index and the Fund, respectively.  Any changes to the composition of the Fund in response to these executive orders could adversely affect the performance of the Fund.

·THE ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION FOR THE FUND IS LIMITED —

The calculation agent will make adjustments to the Share Adjustment Factor for certain events affecting the shares of the Fund. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment in response to all events that could affect the shares of the Fund. 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.

The Fund

The Fund is an exchange-traded fund of KraneShares Trust, a registered investment company, that seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of a specific foreign equity securities index, which we refer to as the Underlying Index with respect to the Fund. The Underlying Index with respect to the Fund is currently the CSI Overseas China Internet Index. The CSI Overseas China Internet Index is a modified free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the overall performance of Hong Kong- and overseas-listed Chinese Internet companies. For additional information about the Fund, see Annex A in this pricing supplement.

Historical Information

The following graph sets forth the historical performance of the Fund based on the weekly historical closing prices of one share of the Fund from January 4, 2019 through January 26, 2024. The closing price of one share of the Fund on January 30, 2024 was $23.36. We obtained the closing prices above and below from the Bloomberg Professional® service (“Bloomberg”), without independent verification. The closing prices above and below may have been adjusted by Bloomberg for actions taken by the Fund, such as stock splits.

The historical closing prices of one share of the Fund 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 the Fund on the Pricing Date or the Observation Date. There can be no assurance that the performance of the Fund will result in the return of any of your principal amount in excess of $200.00 per $1,000 principal amount note, subject to the credit risks of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Tax Treatment

You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 4-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 notes.

Based on current market conditions, in the opinion of our special tax counsel it is reasonable to treat the notes 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, subject to the possible application of the “constructive ownership” rules, the gain or loss on your notes should be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if you hold your notes for more than a year, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of notes at the issue price. The notes could be treated as “constructive ownership transactions” within the meaning of Section 1260 of the Code, in which case any gain recognized in respect of the notes that would otherwise be long-term capital gain and that was in excess of the “net underlying long-term capital gain” (as defined in Section 1260) would be treated as ordinary income, and a notional interest charge would apply as if that income had accrued for tax purposes at a constant yield over your holding period for the notes. Our special tax counsel has not expressed an opinion with respect to whether the

PS-8 | Structured Investments

Capped Buffered Return Enhanced Notes Linked to the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF

 

constructive ownership rules apply to the notes. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the potential application of the constructive ownership rules.

The IRS or a court may not respect the treatment of the notes described above, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on your notes could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, in 2007 Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses 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 described above. 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 notes, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including the potential application of the constructive ownership rules, 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, 2025 that do not have a delta of one with respect to underlying securities that could pay U.S.-source dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes (each an “Underlying Security”). Based on certain determinations made by us, we expect that Section 871(m) will not apply to the notes with regard to Non-U.S. Holders. Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination. Section 871(m) is complex and its application may depend on your particular circumstances, including whether you enter into other transactions with respect to an Underlying Security. If necessary, further information regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) will be provided in the pricing supplement for the notes. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to the notes.

The Estimated Value of the Notes

The estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement is equal to the sum of the values of the following hypothetical components: (1) a fixed-income debt component with the same maturity as the notes, valued using the internal funding rate described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes. The estimated value of the notes does not represent a minimum price at which JPMS would be willing to buy your notes in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied funding rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference may be based on, among other things, our and our affiliates’ view of the funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the notes in comparison to those costs for the conventional fixed income instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any secondary market prices of the notes. For additional information, see “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Estimated Value of the Notes 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 notes 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 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.

The estimated value of the notes does not represent future values of the notes and may differ from others’ estimates. Different pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations for the notes that are greater than or less than the estimated value of the notes. 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 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 notes from you in secondary market transactions.

The estimated value of the notes will be 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, if any, 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 — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Estimated Value of the Notes Will Be 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 “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — Secondary market prices of the notes 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 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 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. This initial predetermined time period 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 our affiliates. See “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Value of the Notes as Published by JPMS (and Which May Be Reflected on Customer Account Statements) May Be Higher Than the Then-Current Estimated Value of the Notes for a Limited Time Period” in this pricing supplement.

Supplemental Use of Proceeds

The notes are offered to meet investor demand for products that reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the notes. See “Hypothetical Payout Profile” and “How the Notes Work” in this pricing supplement for an illustration of the risk-return profile of the notes and “The Fund” in this pricing supplement for a description of the market exposure provided by the notes.

The original issue price of the notes is equal to the 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.

Additional Terms Specific to the Notes

You may revoke your offer to purchase the notes at any time prior to the time at which we accept such offer by notifying the applicable agent. We reserve the right to change the terms of, or reject any offer to purchase, the notes prior to their issuance. In the event of any changes to the terms of the notes, we will notify you and you will be asked to accept such changes in connection with your purchase. You may also choose to reject such changes, in which case we may reject your offer to purchase.

You should read this pricing supplement together with the accompanying prospectus, as supplemented by the accompanying prospectus supplement relating to our Series A medium-term notes of which these notes are a part, and the more detailed information contained in the accompanying product supplement. This pricing supplement, together with the documents listed below, contains the terms of the notes 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 the “Risk Factors” sections of the accompanying prospectus supplement and the accompanying product supplement, 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.

Annex A

The KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF

All information contained in this pricing supplement regarding the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (the “KWEB Fund”) has been derived from publicly available information, without independent verification. This information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by KraneShares Trust and Krane Funds Advisors, LLC (“Krane”). The KWEB Fund is an investment portfolio of KraneShares Trust. Krane is currently the investment adviser to the KWEB Fund. The KWEB Fund is an exchange-traded fund that trades on the NYSE Arca, Inc. under the ticker symbol “KWEB.”

The KWEB Fund seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of a foreign equity securities index, which is currently the CSI Overseas China Internet Index (the “China Internet Index”). For more information about the China Internet Index, please see “The CSI Overseas China Internet Index” below.

Although the KWEB Fund reserves the right to replicate (or hold all components of) the China Internet Index, the KWEB Fund expects to use representative sampling to track the China Internet Index. “Representative sampling” is a strategy that involves investing in a representative sample of securities that collectively have an investment profile similar to the China Internet Index. The KWEB Fund may or may not hold all of the securities in the China Internet Index when using a representative sampling indexing strategy.

Tracking error refers to the risk that the KWEB Fund’s performance may not match or correlate to that of the China Internet Index, either on a daily or aggregate basis. Tracking error may cause the KWEB Fund’s performance to be less than expected. There are a number of factors that may contribute to the KWEB Fund’s tracking error, such as KWEB Fund expenses, imperfect correlation between the KWEB Fund’s investments and those of the China Internet Index, the use of representative sampling strategy, if applicable, asset valuation differences, tax considerations, the unavailability of securities in the China Internet Index from time to time, holding cash and cash equivalents, and other liquidity constraints. In addition, securities included in the China Internet Index may be suspended from trading. To the extent the KWEB Fund calculates its net asset value based on fair value prices and the value of the China Internet Index is based on securities’ closing prices on local foreign markets, the KWEB Fund’s ability to track the China Internet Index may be adversely affected. Mathematical compounding may prevent the KWEB Fund from correlating with the monthly, quarterly, annual or other period performance of the China Internet Index. In addition, the KWEB Fund may not invest in certain securities and other instruments included in the China Internet Index, or invest in them in the exact proportions they represent of the China Internet Index, including due to legal restrictions or limitations imposed by a foreign government or a lack of liquidity in certain securities. Moreover, the KWEB Fund may be delayed in purchasing or selling securities and other instruments included in the China Internet Index. Any issues the KWEB Fund encounters with regard to currency convertibility (including the cost of borrowing funds, if any) and repatriation may also increase the KWEB Fund’s tracking error.

KraneShares Trust is a registered investment company that consists of numerous separate investment portfolios, including the KWEB Fund. Information provided to or filed with the SEC by KraneShares Trust pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, can be located by reference to SEC file numbers 333-180870 and 811-22698 through the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

The CSI Overseas China Internet Index

General

All information contained in this pricing supplement regarding the China Internet Index, including, without limitation, its make-up, performance, method of calculation and changes in its components, has been derived from publicly available sources, without independent verification. This information reflects the policies of and is subject to change by China Securities Index Company Limited (“CSI”). The China Internet Index is calculated, maintained and published by CSI. CSI does not have any obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue the publication of, the China Internet Index.

The China Internet Index is a modified free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to measure the overall performance of Hong Kong- and overseas-listed Chinese Internet companies.

The China Internet Index is reported by Bloomberg L.P. in U.S. dollars under the ticker symbol “H11137.”

·Listed by a Chinese internet company that meets one of the following three criteria: (i) is incorporated in mainland China; (ii) has its operation center in mainland China; or (iii) derives at least 50% of its revenue from mainland China.

Hong Kong-listed securities that meet any of the following conditions will be excluded from the eligible universe:

·Securities whose average daily closing price in the most recent year is less than 0.1 HKD;
·Securities whose average daily closing price in the most recent year is less than 0.5 HKD and earnings per share in the most recent annual report is negative;
·Securities whose cumulative daily average market capitalization coverage in the most recent three months is beyond 90%, after having ranked the securities by the daily average turnover ratio (which is the daily trading value divided by total market capitalization) in descending order and calculated the cumulative daily average market capitalization coverage for each security; or
·Securities considered by an index advisory committee of CSI as inappropriate.

Other markets-listed securities should satisfy the following conditions:

·Listed for more than 3 months unless the market value of its IPO exceeds 30 billion USD; and
·Listed by a Chinese internet company that meets one of the following three criteria: (i) is incorporated in mainland China; (ii) has its operation center in mainland China; or (iii) derives at least 50% of its revenue from mainland China.

Constituent Selection

All securities whose average daily trading value in the past year is less than 3 million USD or average daily market capitalization in the past year is less than 2 billion USD are removed from the eligible universe.

From the remaining securities, securities are chosen for inclusion in the China Internet Index if they are assigned to one of the following categories, as determined by CSI:

·Internet Software & Services (companies developing and marketing internet software and/or providing internet services);
·Home Entertainment Software (manufacturers of home entertainment software and educational software primarily for home use);
·Internet Retail (companies providing retail services primarily on the internet);
·Internet Service (companies providing commercial services primarily through the internet); or
·Mobile Internet (companies developing and marketing mobile internet software or providing mobile internet services).

When two or more eligible listings of the same company are eligible for inclusion, the Hong Kong-listed security will have the priority to be selected.

Index Calculation

The China Internet Index is a modified free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index. The China Internet Index is calculated using the following formula:

 

Float Adjustment. CSI defines free float of a constituent as the shares outstanding and tradable in the security market. According to its definition, free float of a constituent is its total shares minus the restricted shares and the non-free float shares. The identification and calculation of free float by CSI is based on objective information including prospectuses and listing notices, periodic reports and temporary reports. CSI tracks the changes of free-float shares and adjusts free-float changes resulting from shareholder’s behavior every six months. All restricted shares subject to a lock-in period are deemed to be non-free float. Non-restricted shares will be deemed to be non-free float if (a) they fall into one of the following types of shares: (1) shares held by founders of the company or their

PS-13 | Structured Investments

families, and by senior executives, by directors, or by supervisors, etc.; (2) shares held by the government or its subsidiaries; (3) shares held by strategic investors for long-term strategic interest; or (4) shares held by employee share plans; and (b) the holdings by shareholders or shareholders acting in concert are 5% or greater; otherwise, they will be deemed to be free float. Restricted shares after the lock-in period are treated in the same way as non-restricted shares.

The weight factor is a value between 0 and 1, so that the weight of each constituent is capped at 10% and the total weight of the top five constituents is capped at 40%.

Exchange Rate. The price of each component stock and the total market capitalization as of the base date are converted into USD equivalents using the relevant exchange rates as of the applicable dates. Exchange rates are sourced from the data providers as designated by CSI from time to time. The real-time calculation of the China Internet Index is based on the real-time price date published by the stock exchanges during trading hours through their quotation system. The real-time exchange rate is used to calculate the real-time index; the exchange rate at the index closing time is used to calculate the index closing level.

Divisor. The purpose of the index divisor is to maintain the continuity of an index level following a change to the constituent list, a capital change in the index constituents or an index constituent’s market value changes due to non-trading factors. The new divisor is derived from the following formula:

The new divisor derived from this formula will be used for the future index calculation.

Index Review

The China Internet Index is adjusted and rebalanced semi-annually during the last ten days of May and November of each year. The adjustment will be effective as of the next trading day after the second Friday in June and December.

The weight factor is rebalanced monthly and the rebalance will be effective as of the next trading day after the 2nd Friday each month.

Suspension. At the periodic index review, if an index constituent is suspended, CSI will determine its treatment as follows:

·Constituents that have been suspended for more than 25 trading days and have not resumed trading as of the deadline for data used for constituents’ eligibility review (April 30th for the May review and October 31st for the November review), if listed on the candidate deletion list, will be classified as priority deletion securities.
·CSI reports list of constituents that have been suspended close to 25 trading days as of the deadline for data used for constituents’ eligibility review to the index advisory committee. The committee discusses whether they should be classified as candidate deletion securities.
·If the deletion securities are under suspension and the reason for suspension is a significant negative event, then the constituent will be deleted from the index at the price of 0.00001 Yuan. In the event that such securities resume trading at least one trading day prior to the effective date, CSI will amend the deletion price to market price and publish an announcement. Under any other conditions, a suspended constituent will be deleted from the index at its closing market price before suspension.

For suspended companies that are not currently constituents of the China Internet Index, CSI determines their treatment as follows:

·Securities that are under suspension and without a clear expectation of trading resumption on the date of the index advisory committee meeting will not be able to be selected as candidates for inclusion in the China Internet Index.
·Securities that have been suspended for more than 25 trading days during the data period used for constituents’ review are eligible for inclusion in the index only if they have resumed trading for 3 months, except in special circumstances approved by the index advisory committee.
·For new additions suspended between the announcement date and the effective date of the periodic review, CSI will decide whether to adjust the addition or not.

Corporate Action Related Changes

In the case of exceptional corporate events, CSI will review the China Internet Index and make necessary ongoing adjustments between index reviews in order to maintain the representativeness of the index and ensure it is investable. These corporate events include IPOs, mergers and acquisitions, spin-offs, suspensions, delistings, bankruptcies, cash or stock dividends, stock splits or reverse stock splits, rights issues and secondary offerings.

Base Date

The China Internet Index has a base date of June 29, 2007, with a base value of 1,000 on that date.

Index Governance

CSI annually reviews the index calculation and maintenance methodology, index methodologies and other index rule documents to ensure that the calculation and maintenance of the China Internet Index is in line with its objectives. After the regular review is completed, an annual review report is produced and presented to the index oversight committee.

CSI may review index methodology documents outside the annual scheduled reviews based on, but not limited to, one of the following: underlying market environment review, market participant feedback, problems identified in index management or unusual corporate events treatment.
