Basket: The notes are linked to an unequally weighted basket consisting of the following:

· the iShares® China Large-Cap ETF (Bloomberg ticker: FXI) (the “Fund”);
· the MSCI EAFE® Index (Bloomberg ticker: MXEA); and
· the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Bloomberg ticker: MXEF) (each of the MSCI EAFE® Index and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, an “Index” and collectively, the “Indices”)

(the Fund and each of the Indices, an “Underlying” and collectively, the “Underlyings”).

Best Performing Underlying Weighting: 60.00%

Second Best Performing Underlying Weighting: 40.00%

Pricing Date: January 29, 2024

Original Issue Date (Settlement Date): On or about February 1, 2024

Observation Date*: January 31, 2028

Maturity Date*: February 3, 2028

* Subject to postponement in the event of a market disruption event and as described under “General Terms of Notes — Postponement of a Determination Date — Notes Linked to Multiple Underlyings” and “General Terms of Notes — Postponement of a Payment Date” in the accompanying product supplement or early acceleration in the event of a change-in-law event as described under “General Terms of Notes — Consequences of a Change-in-Law Event” in the accompanying product supplement and “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Notes Generally — We May Accelerate Your Notes If a Change-in-Law Event Occurs” in this pricing supplement

Payment at Maturity:

Your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × Basket Return)

If the Final Basket Value is less than the Initial Basket Value, you will lose some or all of your principal amount at maturity.

Basket Return:

(Final Basket Value – Initial Basket Value)
Initial Basket Value

Initial Basket Value: Set equal to 100.00 on the Pricing Date

Final Basket Value: The closing level of the Basket on the Observation Date

Closing Level of the Basket:

100 × [1 + (Best Performing Underlying Weighting × Underlying Return of Best Performing Underlying) + (Second Best Performing Underlying Weighting × Underlying Return of Second Best Performing Underlying) + (0.00% × Underlying Return of Least Performing Underlying)]

Because the Least Performing Underlying will have a 0.00% weighting in the Basket, its Underlying Return will have no effect on the closing level of the Basket.

Best Performing Underlying: The Underlying with the highest Underlying Return

Second Best Performing Underlying: The Underlying with the second highest Underlying Return

Least Performing Underlying: The Underlying with the lowest Underlying Return

Underlying Return: With respect to each Underlying,

(Final Value – Initial Value)
Initial Value

Initial Value: With respect to each Underlying, the closing value of that Underlying on the Pricing Date, which was $22.29 for the Fund, 2,226.50 for the MSCI EAFE® Index and 990.18 for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index

Final Value: With respect to each Underlying, the closing value of that Underlying on the Observation Date

Share Adjustment Factor: The Share Adjustment Factor is referenced in determining the closing value of the Fund and is set equal to 1.0 on the Pricing Date. The Share Adjustment Factor is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events affecting the Fund. See “The Underlyings — Funds — Anti-Dilution Adjustments” in the accompanying product supplement for further information.

Supplemental Terms of the Notes

Any values of the Underlyings, 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 at maturity on the notes. 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 set forth below assume an Initial Basket Value of 100.00.

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 Basket Value Basket Return Total Return on the Notes Payment at Maturity
165.00 65.00% 65.00% $1,650.00

The following graph demonstrates the hypothetical payments at maturity on the notes for a range of Basket Returns.

How the Notes Work

Investors will receive at maturity the $1,000 principal amount plus a return equal to the Basket Return.

Upside Scenario:

·For example, if the closing level of the Basket increases 10.00%, investors will receive at maturity a return equal to 10.00%, or $1,100.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Par Scenario:

·For example, if the Final Basket Value is equal to the Initial Basket Value, investors will receive at maturity the principal amount of their notes.

Downside Scenario:

·For example, if the closing level of the Basket declines 60.00%, investors will lose 60.00% of their principal amount and receive only $400.00 per $1,000 principal amount note at maturity.

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.

How to Determine the Weightings of the Underlyings

The following examples illustrate a range of performances of the Underlyings on the Observation Date. The hypothetical examples set forth below assume the following:

·an Initial Value of 100.00 for each Underlying;
·a Best Performing Underlying Weighting of 60.00%;
·a Second Best Performing Underlying Weighting of 40.00%; and
·an Initial Basket Value of 100.00.

Example 1: All Underlying Returns are positive.

Underlying Initial Value Final Value Underlying Return Basket Weighting
Fund 100.00 105.00 5.00% 0.00%
MSCI EAFE® Index 100.00 110.00 10.00% 40.00%
MSCI Emerging Markets Index 100.00 115.00 15.00% 60.00%
           
        Basket Return: 13.00%
           

Because (a) the Underlying Return of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index is the highest, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index is weighted at 60.00%, (b) the Underlying Return of the MSCI EAFE® Index is the second highest, the MSCI EAFE® Index is weighted at 40.00% and (c) the Underlying Return of the Fund is the lowest, the Fund is weighted at 0.00%.

The Final Basket Value is calculated as follows:

100 × [1 + (60.00% × 15.00%) + (40.00% × 10.00%) + (0.00% × 5.00%)] = 113.00

Therefore, the Basket Return is 13.00%.

Example 2: All Underlying Returns are negative.

Underlying Initial Value Final Value Underlying Return Basket Weighting
Fund 100.00 70.00 -30.00% 60.00%
MSCI EAFE® Index 100.00 60.00 -40.00% 40.00%
MSCI Emerging Markets Index 100.00 50.00 -50.00% 0.00%
           
        Basket Return: -34.00%
           

Because (a) the Underlying Return of the Fund is the highest, the Fund is weighted at 60.00%, (b) the Underlying Return of the MSCI EAFE® Index is the second highest, the MSCI EAFE® Index is weighted at 40.00% and (c) the Underlying Return of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index is the lowest, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index is weighted at 0.00%.

The Final Basket Value is calculated as follows:

100 × [1 + (60.00% × -30.00%) + (40.00% × -40.00%) + (0.00% × -50.00%)] = 66.00

Therefore, the Basket Return is -34.00%.

Example 3: The Underlying Returns are mixed.

Underlying Initial Value Final Value Underlying Return Basket Weighting
Fund 100.00 105.00 5.00% 60.00%
MSCI EAFE® Index 100.00 10.00 -90.00% 0.00%
MSCI Emerging Markets Index 100.00 20.00 -80.00% 40.00%
           
        Basket Return: -29.00%
           

Because (a) the Underlying Return of the Fund is the highest, the Fund is weighted at 60.00%, (b) the Underlying Return of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index is the second highest, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index is weighted at 40.00% and (c) the Underlying Return of the MSCI EAFE® Index is the lowest, the MSCI EAFE® Index is weighted at 0.00%.

The Final Basket Value is calculated as follows:

100 × [1 + (60.00% × 5.00%) + (40.00% × -80.00%) + (0.00% × -90.00%)] = 71.00

Therefore, the Basket Return is -29.00%.

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 Basket Value is less than the Initial Basket Value, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Final Basket Value is less than the Initial Basket Value.  Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose some or all of your principal amount at maturity. 

·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.
·CORRELATION (OR LACK OF CORRELATION) OF THE UNDERLYINGS —

The notes are linked to an unequally weighted Basket composed of three Underlyings. In calculating the Final Basket Value, an increase in the value of one of the Underlyings may be moderated, or more than offset, by a lesser increase or decline in the value of the other Underlyings. In addition, high correlation of movements in the values of the Underlyings during periods of negative returns among the Underlyings could have an adverse effect on the payment at maturity on the notes.

·YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE DIVIDENDS ON THE FUND OR THE SECURITIES INCLUDED IN OR HELD BY ANY UNDERLYING OR HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THE FUND OR THOSE SECURITIES.

PS-5 | Structured Investments

Return Notes Linked to an Unequally Weighted Basket Consisting of the iShares® China Large-Cap ETF, the MSCI EAFE® Index and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index

 

·WE MAY ACCELERATE YOUR NOTES IF A CHANGE-IN-LAW EVENT OCCURS —

Upon the announcement or occurrence of legal or regulatory changes that the calculation agent determines are likely to interfere with your or our ability to transact in or hold the notes or our ability to hedge or perform our obligations under the notes, we may, in our sole and absolute discretion, accelerate the payment on your notes and pay you an amount determined in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner by the calculation agent. If the payment on your notes is accelerated, your investment may result in a loss and you may not be able to reinvest your money in a comparable investment. Please see “General Terms of Notes — Consequences of a Change-in-Law Event” in the accompanying product supplement for more information.

·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.

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 IS 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 exceeds the estimated value 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, 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).

PS-6 | Structured Investments

Return Notes Linked to an Unequally Weighted Basket Consisting of the iShares® China Large-Cap ETF, the MSCI EAFE® Index and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index

 

·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 level of the Basket. 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 Underlyings

·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 Underlyings” 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 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.

·NON-U.S. SECURITIES RISK —

The equity securities included in or held by the Underlyings 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 WITH RESPECT TO THE FUND AND THE MSCI EMERGING MARKETS INDEX —

The equity securities held by the Fund or included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index 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

Return Notes Linked to an Unequally Weighted Basket Consisting of the iShares® China Large-Cap ETF, the MSCI EAFE® Index and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index

 

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 included in or held by the Underlyings are converted into U.S. dollars for purposes of calculating the level or net asset value of that Underlying, holders of the notes will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the currencies in which the equity securities included in or held by that Underlying 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 included in or held by the relevant Underlying denominated in each of those currencies. If, taking into account the relevant weighting, the U.S. dollar strengthens against those currencies, the value of the Underlying will be adversely affected and any payment on the notes may be reduced.

·RECENT EXECUTIVE ORDERS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND AND THE MSCI EMERGING MARKETS INDEX —

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.  The sponsor of each of the Underlying Index for the Fund and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index has recently removed the equity securities of a small number of companies from that index in response to these executive orders and, as a result, the relevant stocks have also been removed from the Fund.  If the issuer of any of the equity securities held by the Fund or included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index 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 or the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.  In addition, under these circumstances, each of the sponsor of the relevant Index and the Fund is expected to remove the equity securities of that company from that index and the Fund, respectively.  Any changes to the composition of the Fund or the MSCI Emerging Markets Index in response to these executive orders could adversely affect the performance of the Fund or the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.

·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.

Return Notes Linked to an Unequally Weighted Basket Consisting of the iShares® China Large-Cap ETF, the MSCI EAFE® Index and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index

 

The Underlyings

The return on the notes is linked to an unequally weighted basket consisting of the Fund, the MSCI EAFE® Index and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.

The Fund is an exchange-traded fund of iShares® Trust, a registered investment company, that seeks to track the investment results, before fees and expenses, of an index composed of large-capitalization Chinese equities that trade on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which we refer to as the Underlying Index with respect to the Fund. The Underlying Index with respect to the Fund is currently the FTSE® China 50 Index.  The FTSE® China 50 Index is composed of 50 of the largest and most liquid Chinese stocks listed and trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and is designed to represent the performance of the mainland Chinese market that is available to international investors. For additional information about the Fund, see “Fund Descriptions — The iShares® ETFs” in the accompanying underlying supplement.

The MSCI EAFE® Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index intended to measure the equity market performance of certain developed markets, excluding the United States and Canada.

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 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, our special tax counsel is of the opinion that Section 871(m) should 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. 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 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, 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 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 “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 Basket” 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.
