Early Redemption:
We, at our election, may redeem the notes early, in whole but
not in part, on any of the Interest Payment Dates (other than
the first, second and final Interest Payment Dates) at a price,
for each $1,000 principal amount note, equal to (a) $1,000
plus (b) the Contingent Interest Payment, if any, applicable to
the immediately preceding Review Date. If we intend to
redeem your notes early, we will deliver notice to The
Depository Trust Company, or DTC, at least three business
days before the applicable Interest Payment Date on which the
notes are redeemed early.
Payment at Maturity:
If the notes have not been redeemed early and the Final Value
of each Index is greater than or equal to its Trigger Value, you
will receive a cash payment at maturity, for each $1,000
principal amount note, equal to (a) $1,000 plus (b) the
Contingent Interest Payment, if any, applicable to the final
Review Date.
If the notes have not been redeemed early and the Final Value
of any Index is less than its Trigger Value, your payment at
maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as
follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × Least Performing Index Return)
If the notes have not been redeemed early and the Final Value
of any Index is less than its Trigger Value, you will lose more
than 40.00% of your principal amount at maturity and could
lose all of your principal amount at maturity.

Hypothetical Payout Examples
The following examples illustrate payments on the notes linked to three hypothetical Indices, assuming a range of performances for the
hypothetical Least Performing Index on the Review Dates.
The hypothetical payments set forth below assume the following:
●the notes have not been redeemed early;
●an Initial Value for the Least Performing Index of 100.00;
●an Interest Barrier for the Least Performing Index of 70.00 (equal to 70.00% of its hypothetical Initial Value);

|
|
|
Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Least Performing of the
NASDAQ-100 Index®, the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index
|
●a Trigger Value for the Least Performing Index of 60.00 (equal to 60.00% of its hypothetical Initial Value); and
●a Contingent Interest Rate of 8.45% per annum (payable at a rate of 0.70417% per month).
The hypothetical Initial Value of the Least Performing Index of 100.00 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and may not
represent a likely actual Initial Value of any Index.
The actual Initial Value of each Index will be the closing level of that Index on the Pricing Date and will be provided in the pricing
supplement. For historical data regarding the actual closing levels of each Index, please see the historical information set forth under
“The Indices” in this pricing supplement.
Each hypothetical payment set forth below is for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual payment applicable to a purchaser
of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.
Example 1 — Notes have NOT been redeemed early and the Final Value of the Least Performing Index is greater
than or equal to its Trigger Value and its Interest Barrier.

Because the notes have not been redeemed early and the Final Value of the Least Performing Index is greater than or equal to its
Trigger Value and its Interest Barrier, the payment at maturity, for each $1,000 principal amount note, will be $1,007.0417 (or $1,000 plus
the Contingent Interest Payment applicable to the final Review Date). When added to the Contingent Interest Payments received with
respect to the prior Review Dates, the total amount paid, for each $1,000 principal amount note, is $1,021.125.
Example 2 — Notes have NOT been redeemed early and the Final Value of the Least Performing Index is less than
its Interest Barrier but is greater than or equal to its Trigger Value.

greater than or equal to its Trigger Value, the payment at maturity, for each $1,000 principal amount note, will be $1,000.00. When added
to the Contingent Interest Payments received with respect to the prior Review Dates, the total amount paid, for each $1,000 principal
amount note, is $1,014.0833.

Because the notes have not been redeemed early, the Final Value of the Least Performing Index is less than its Trigger Value and the
Least Performing Index Return is -60.00%, the payment at maturity will be $400.00 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as
follows:
$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-60.00%)] = $400.00
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.
●YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS —
The notes do not guarantee any return of principal. If the notes have not been redeemed early and the Final Value of any Index is
less than its Trigger Value, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Final Value of the Least
Performing Index is less than its Initial Value. Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose more than 40.00% of your
principal amount at maturity and could lose all of your principal amount at maturity.
●THE NOTES DO NOT GUARANTEE THE PAYMENT OF INTEREST AND MAY NOT PAY ANY INTEREST AT ALL —
If the notes have not been redeemed early, we will make a Contingent Interest Payment with respect to a Review Date only if the
closing level of each Index on that Review Date is greater than or equal to its Interest Barrier. If the closing level of any Index on that
Review Date is less than its Interest Barrier, no Contingent Interest Payment will be made with respect to that Review Date.
Accordingly, if the closing level of any Index on each Review Date is less than its Interest Barrier, you will not receive any interest
payments over the term of the notes.
●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 APPRECIATION POTENTIAL OF THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO THE SUM OF ANY CONTINGENT INTEREST PAYMENTS
THAT MAY BE PAID OVER THE TERM OF THE NOTES,
regardless of any appreciation of any Index, which may be significant. You will not participate in any appreciation of any Index.
●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.
●JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. IS CURRENTLY ONE OF THE COMPANIES THAT MAKE UP THE S&P 500® INDEX,
but JPMorgan Chase & Co. will not have any obligation to consider your interests in taking any corporate action that might affect the
level of the S&P 500® Index.
●AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES IS SUBJECT TO RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SMALL CAPITALIZATION STOCKS WITH
RESPECT TO THE RUSSELL 2000® INDEX —
Small capitalization companies may be less able to withstand adverse economic, market, trade and competitive conditions relative
to larger companies. Small capitalization companies are less likely to pay dividends on their stocks, and the presence of a dividend
payment could be a factor that limits downward stock price pressure under adverse market conditions.
●NON-U.S. SECURITIES RISK WITH RESPECT TO THE NASDAQ-100 INDEX® —
Some of the equity securities included in the NASDAQ-100 Index® 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 home countries of the issuers of
those non-U.S. equity securities.
●YOU ARE EXPOSED TO THE RISK OF DECLINE IN THE LEVEL OF EACH INDEX —
Payments on the notes are not linked to a basket composed of the Indices and are contingent upon the performance of each
individual Index. Poor performance by any of the Indices over the term of the notes may negatively affect whether you will receive a
Contingent Interest Payment on any Interest Payment Date and your payment at maturity and will not be offset or mitigated by
positive performance by any other Index.

|
●YOUR PAYMENT AT MATURITY WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE LEAST PERFORMING INDEX.
●THE BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE TRIGGER VALUE MAY TERMINATE ON THE FINAL REVIEW DATE —
If the Final Value of any Index is less than its Trigger Value and the notes have not been redeemed early, the benefit provided by the
Trigger Value will terminate and you will be fully exposed to any depreciation of the Least Performing Index.
●THE OPTIONAL EARLY REDEMPTION FEATURE MAY FORCE A POTENTIAL EARLY EXIT —
If we elect to redeem your notes early, the term of the notes may be reduced to as short as approximately three months and you will
not receive any Contingent Interest Payments after the applicable Interest Payment Date. There is no guarantee that you would be
able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the notes at a comparable return and/or with a comparable interest rate for a
similar level of risk. Even in cases where we elect to redeem your notes before maturity, you are not entitled to any fees and
commissions described on the front cover of this pricing supplement.
●YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE DIVIDENDS ON THE SECURITIES INCLUDED IN ANY INDEX OR HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH
RESPECT TO THOSE SECURITIES.
●THE RISK OF THE CLOSING LEVEL OF AN INDEX FALLING BELOW ITS INTEREST BARRIER OR TRIGGER VALUE IS
GREATER IF THE LEVEL OF THAT INDEX IS VOLATILE.
●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
Contingent Interest Rate.
●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 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 levels of the Indices. 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.

Tax Treatment
You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product
supplement no. 4-I. In determining our reporting responsibilities we intend to treat (i) the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes as
prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons and (ii) any Contingent Interest Payments as ordinary income, as
described in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Notes
Treated as Prepaid Forward Contracts with Associated Contingent Coupons” in the accompanying product supplement. Based on the
advice of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, our special tax counsel, we believe that this is a reasonable treatment, but that there are other
reasonable treatments that the IRS or a court may adopt, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the notes
could be materially 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 and the relevance of factors such as the nature of the

underlying property to which the instruments are linked. 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 affect the tax
consequences of an investment in the notes, possibly with retroactive effect. The discussions above and in the accompanying product
supplement do not address the consequences to taxpayers subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code.
You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including
possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the notice described above.
Non-U.S. Holders — Tax Considerations. The U.S. federal income tax treatment of Contingent Interest Payments is uncertain, and
although we believe it is reasonable to take a position that Contingent Interest Payments are not subject to U.S. withholding tax (at least
if an applicable Form W-8 is provided), it is expected that withholding agents will (and we, if we are the withholding agent, intend to)
withhold on any Contingent Interest Payment paid to a Non-U.S. Holder generally at a rate of 30% or at a reduced rate specified by an
applicable income tax treaty under an “other income” or similar provision. We will not be required to pay any additional amounts with
respect to amounts withheld. In order to claim an exemption from, or a reduction in, the 30% withholding tax, a Non-U.S. Holder of the
notes must comply with certification requirements to establish that it is not a U.S. person and is eligible for such an exemption or
reduction under an applicable tax treaty. If you are a Non-U.S. Holder, you should consult your tax adviser regarding the tax treatment of
the notes, including the possibility of obtaining a refund of any withholding tax and the certification requirement described above.
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.
In the event of any withholding on the notes, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so withheld.
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 — 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 — 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 — 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 “How the Notes Work” and “Hypothetical Payout Examples” in this pricing supplement for an illustration of the risk-return
profile of the notes and “The Indices” 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 and the accompanying underlying 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.
