Supplemental Terms of the Notes
|
Any value of any underlier, and any values derived therefrom, included in this pricing supplement may be corrected, in the event of

Hypothetical Payout Profile
|
The following table and graph illustrate the hypothetical total return and payment at maturity on the notes linked to two hypothetical Indices.
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 for the Lesser Performing Index of 100.00;
●an Upside Leverage Factor of 1.50; and
●a Barrier Amount for the Lesser Performing Index of 70.00 (equal to 70.00% of its hypothetical Initial Value).
The hypothetical Initial Value of the Lesser Performing Index of 100.00 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and may not
represent a likely actual Initial Value of either 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 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.

Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes Linked to the Lesser Performing of the
Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index
|
The following graph demonstrates the hypothetical payments at maturity on the notes for a sub-set of Lesser Performing Index Returns
detailed in the table above (-80% to 80%). There can be no assurance that the performance of the Lesser Performing Index will result in
the return of any of your principal amount.
|
How the Notes Work
|
Upside Scenario:
If the Final Value of each Index is greater than its Initial Value, investors will receive at maturity the $1,000 principal amount plus a return
equal to the Lesser Performing Index Return times the Upside Leverage Factor of at least 1.50.
●Assuming a hypothetical Upside Leverage Factor of 1.50, if the closing level of the Lesser Performing Index increases 10.00%,
investors will receive at maturity a return of 15.00%, or $1,150.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.
Par Scenario:
If the Final Value of either Index is equal to or is less than its Initial Value but the Final Value of each Index is greater than or equal to its
Barrier Amount of 70.00% of its Initial Value, investors will receive at maturity the principal amount of their notes.
Downside Scenario:
If the Final Value of either Index is less than its Barrier Amount of 70.00% of its Initial Value, investors will lose 1% of the principal amount
of their notes for every 1% that the Final Value of the Lesser Performing Index is less than its Initial Value.
●For example, if the closing level of the Lesser Performing Index 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.
|
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 Final Value of either Index is less than its Barrier Amount, you will lose 1% of
the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Final Value of the Lesser Performing Index is less than its Initial Value.
Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose more than 30.00% of your principal amount at maturity and could lose 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.

PS-3 | Structured Investments
|
|
|
Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes Linked to the Lesser Performing of the
Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index
|
●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 BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE BARRIER AMOUNT MAY TERMINATE ON THE OBSERVATION DATE —
If the Final Value of either Index is less than its Barrier Amount, the benefit provided by the Barrier Amount will terminate and you will
be fully exposed to any depreciation of the Lesser Performing 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.
●THE NOTES DO NOT PAY INTEREST.
●YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE DIVIDENDS ON THE SECURITIES INCLUDED IN EITHER INDEX OR HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH
RESPECT TO THOSE SECURITIES.
●THE RISK OF THE CLOSING LEVEL OF AN INDEX FALLING BELOW ITS BARRIER AMOUNT IS GREATER IF THE LEVEL OF
THAT INDEX IS VOLATILE.
●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.
●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 either of the Indices over the term of the notes may negatively affect your payment at maturity and will not
be offset or mitigated by positive performance by the other Index.
●YOUR PAYMENT AT MATURITY WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE LESSER PERFORMING INDEX.
●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
Upside Leverage Factor.
●THE TAX DISCLOSURE IS SUBJECT TO CONFIRMATION —
The information set forth under “Tax Treatment” in this pricing supplement remains subject to confirmation by our special tax counsel
following the pricing of the notes. If that information cannot be confirmed by our tax counsel, you may be asked to accept revisions to
that information in connection with your purchase. Under these circumstances, if you decline to accept revisions to that information,
your purchase of the notes will be canceled.
●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.

|
|
|
Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes Linked to the Lesser Performing of the
Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index
|
●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.

The Indices
|
The Russell 2000® Index consists of the middle 2,000 companies included in the Russell 3000ETM Index and, as a result of the index
calculation methodology, consists of the smallest 2,000 companies included in the Russell 3000® Index. The Russell 2000® Index is
designed to track the performance of the small capitalization segment of the U.S. equity market. For additional information about the
Russell 2000® Index, see “Equity Index Descriptions — The Russell Indices” in the accompanying underlying supplement.
The S&P 500® Index consists of stocks of 500 companies selected to provide a performance benchmark for the U.S. equity markets. For
additional information about the S&P 500® Index, see “Equity Index Descriptions — The S&P U.S. Indices” in the accompanying underlying

Historical Information
The following graphs set forth the historical performance of each Index based on the weekly historical closing levels from January 4, 2019
through April 19, 2024. The closing level of the Russell 2000® Index on April 24, 2024 was 1,995.426. The closing level of the S&P 500®
Index on April 24, 2024 was 5,071.63. We obtained the closing levels above and below from the Bloomberg Professional® service
(“Bloomberg”), without independent verification.
The historical closing levels of each Index should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to
the closing level of either Index on the Pricing Date or the Observation Date. There can be no assurance that the performance of the
Indices will result in the return of any of your principal amount.

Tax Treatment
|
You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product
supplement no. 4-I. We expect to ask our special tax counsel to provide an opinion substantially consistent with the following discussion at
pricing.
Based on current market conditions, 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, 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. However, the IRS or a court may not respect this treatment, in which
case the timing and character of any income or loss on the 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, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain
long-term capital gain as ordinary income and impose a notional interest charge. 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 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 — 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 “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 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.
