Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Least Performing of the Dow Jones Industrial Average™, the NASDAQ-100 Index® and the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index due June 20, 2023

Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.

The notes are designed for investors who seek a Contingent Interest Payment with respect to each monthly Interest Review Date for which the closing level of each of the Dow Jones Industrial Average™, the NASDAQ-100 Index® and the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index, which we refer to as the Indices, is greater than or equal to 71.00% of its Initial Value, which we refer to as an Interest Barrier.
The notes will be automatically called if the closing level of each Index on any quarterly Autocall Review Date is greater than or equal to its Initial Value.
The earliest date on which an automatic call may be initiated is June 17, 2019.
Investors in the notes should be willing to accept the risk of losing some or all of their principal and the risk that no Contingent Interest Payment may be made with respect to some or all Interest Review Dates.
Investors should also be willing to forgo fixed interest and dividend payments, in exchange for the opportunity to receive Contingent Interest Payments.
The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, which we refer to as JPMorgan Financial, the payment on which is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. Any payment on the notes is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial, as issuer of the notes, and the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co., as guarantor of the notes.
Payments on the notes are not linked to a basket composed of the Indices. Payments on the notes are linked to the performance of each of the Indices individually, as described below.
Minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof
The notes are expected to price on or about June 15, 2018 and are expected to settle on or about June 20, 2018.

Automatic Call:

If the closing level of each Index on any Autocall Review Date is greater than or equal to its Initial Value, the notes will be automatically called for a cash payment, for each $1,000 principal amount note, equal to (a) $1,000 plus (b) the Contingent Interest Payment applicable to the Interest Review Date corresponding to that Autocall Review Date, payable on the applicable Call Settlement Date. No further payments will be made on the notes.

Payment at Maturity:

If the notes have not been automatically called 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 applicable to the final Review Date.

If the notes have not been automatically called 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 automatically called and the Final Value of any Index is less than its Trigger Value, you will lose some or all of your principal amount at maturity.

Least Performing Index: The Index with the Least Performing Index Return

Least Performing Index Return: The lowest of the Index Returns of the Indices

Index Return: With respect to each Index,

(Final Value – Initial Value)
Initial Value

Initial Value: With respect to each Index, the closing level of that Index on the Pricing Date

Final Value: With respect to each Index, the closing level of that Index on the final Review Date

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 Interest Review Dates and the Autocall Review Dates. Each hypothetical payment set forth below assumes that the closing level of each Index that is not the Least Performing Index on (i) each Autocall Review Date is greater than or equal to its Initial Value and (ii) on each Interest Review Date is greater than or equal to its Interest Barrier (and therefore its Trigger Value).

In addition, the hypothetical payments set forth below assume the following:

·an Initial Value for the Least Performing Index of 100.00;
·an Interest Barrier and a Trigger Value for the Least Performing Index of 71.00 (equal to 71.00% of its hypothetical Initial Value); and
·a Contingent Interest Rate of 8.00% per annum (payable at a rate of 0.66667% 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 are automatically called on the first Autocall Review Date.

Date Closing Level of Least Performing Index Payment (per $1,000 principal amount note)
First Interest Review Date 105.00 $6.6667
Second Interest Review Date 50.00 $0
Third through Eleventh Interest Review Dates Less than Interest Barrier $0
Twelfth Interest Review Date (First Autocall Review Date) 110.00 $1,006.6667
  Total Payment $1,013.3333 (1.3333% return)

Because the closing level of each Index on the first Autocall Review Date, which is also the twelfth Interest Review Date, is greater than or equal to its Initial Value, the notes will be automatically called for a cash payment, for each $1,000 principal amount note, of $1,006.6667 (or $1,000 plus the Contingent Interest Payment applicable to the twelfth Interest Review Date), payable on the applicable Call Settlement Date. When added to the Contingent Interest Payment received with respect to the prior Interest Review Dates, the total amount paid, for each $1,000 principal amount note, is $1,013.3333. No further payments will be made on the notes.

Example 2 — Notes have NOT been automatically called and the Final Value of the Least Performing Index is greater than or equal to its Trigger Value.

Date Closing Level of Least Performing Index Payment (per $1,000 principal amount note)
First Interest Review Date 95.00 $6.6667
Second Interest Review Date 85.00 $6.6667
Third through Fifty-Ninth Interest Review Dates Less than Interest Barrier $0
Final Review Date 90.00 $1,006.6667
  Total Payment $1,020.00 (2.00% return)

PS-5 | Structured Investments

Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Least Performing of the Dow Jones Industrial Average™, the NASDAQ-100 Index® and the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index

 

Because the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value of the Least Performing Index is greater than or equal to its Trigger Value, the payment at maturity, for each $1,000 principal amount note, will be $1,006.6667 (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 Interest Review Dates, the total amount paid, for each $1,000 principal amount note, is $1,020.00.

 

Example 3 — Notes have NOT been automatically called and the Final Value of the Least Performing Index is less than its Trigger Value.

Date Closing Level of Least Performing Index Payment (per $1,000 principal amount note)
First Interest Review Date 40.00 $0
Second Interest Review Date 45.00 $0
Third through Fifty-Ninth Interest Review Dates Less than Interest Barrier $0
Final Review Date 50.00 $500.00
  Total Payment $500.00 (-50.00% return)

 

Because the notes have not been automatically called, the Final Value of the Least Performing Index is less than its Trigger Value and the Least Performing Index Return is -50.00%, the payment at maturity will be $500.00 per $1,000 principal amount note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-50.00%)] = $500.00

The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the notes shown above apply only if you hold the notes for their entire term or until automatically called. 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 product supplement and underlying 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 automatically called 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 automatically called, we will make a Contingent Interest Payment with respect to an Interest Review Date only if the closing level of each Index on that Interest Review Date is greater than or equal to its Interest Barrier. If the closing level of any Index on that Interest Review Date is less than its Interest Barrier, no Contingent Interest Payment will be made with respect to that Interest Review Date. Accordingly, if the closing level of any Index on each Interest 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 DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE™,     
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 Dow Jones Industrial Average™.
THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT STRATEGIES EMPLOYED BY THE EURO STOXX® SELECT DIVIDEND 30 INDEX WILL BE SUCCESSFUL —
The EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index is composed of 30 of the highest dividend-paying stocks selected from the components of the EURO STOXX® Index, which provides a broad representation of the developed markets in the Eurozone.  There is, however, no assurance that the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index will outperform any other any index or strategy that tracks Eurozone stocks selected using other criteria.  Although the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index measures the performance of high dividend-yielding companies, the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index is a price return index and, therefore, the return on the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index will not include any dividends paid on the securities that make up the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index.  In addition, the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index is constructed pursuant to a weighting methodology in which the weights of components reflect their indicated annual net dividend yields.  It is possible that the stock selection and weighting methodology of the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index will adversely affect its return (for example, by providing exposure to stocks that do not perform as well as other stocks with lower dividend yields) and, consequently, the value of the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index and of the notes. The EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index may also underperform the EURO STOXX® Index as a whole.
NON-U.S. SECURITIES RISK WITH RESPECT TO THE EURO STOXX® SELECT DIVIDEND 30 INDEX AND THE NASDAQ-100 INDEX®
All of the equity securities included in the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index and 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 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.

NO DIRECT EXPOSURE TO FLUCTUATIONS IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES WITH RESPECT TO THE EURO STOXX® SELECT DIVIDEND 30 INDEX —
The value of your notes will not be adjusted for exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the currencies upon which the equity securities included in the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index are based, although any currency fluctuations could affect the performance of the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index.
DESPITE THE NAME OF THE EURO STOXX® SELECT DIVIDEND 30 INDEX, THE INDEX IS A PRICE RETURN INDEX, WHICH MEANS THAT THE RETURN ON THE INDEX WILL NOT INCLUDE ANY DIVIDENDS PAID ON THE SECURITIES THAT MAKE UP THE INDEX.
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 result in the notes not being automatically called on an Autocall Review Date, 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 automatically called, the benefit provided by the Trigger Value will terminate and you will be fully exposed to any depreciation of the Least Performing Index.
THE AUTOMATIC CALL FEATURE MAY FORCE A POTENTIAL EARLY EXIT —
If your notes are automatically called, the term of the notes may be reduced to as short as approximately one year and you will not receive any Contingent Interest Payments after the applicable Call Settlement 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 the notes are called 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 minimum for the estimated value of the notes and the maximum for the Interest Barrier and Trigger Value.
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 is 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-rate debt of JPMorgan Chase & Co. 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 (a) exclude selling commissions and (b) may exclude 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average consists of 30 common stocks chosen as representative of the broad market of U.S. industry. For additional information about the Dow Jones Industrial Average, see “Equity Index Descriptions — The Dow Jones Industrial Average” in the accompanying underlying supplement.

The NASDAQ-100 Index® is a modified market capitalization-weighted index of 100 of the largest non-financial securities listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market based on market capitalization. For additional information about the NASDAQ-100 Index®, see “Equity Index Descriptions — The NASDAQ-100 Index®” in the accompanying underlying supplement.

The EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index is composed of 30 of the highest dividend-paying stocks selected from the components of the EURO STOXX® Index, which provides a broad representation of the developed markets in the Eurozone.  The component stocks are selected from 11 Eurozone countries: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain. Not all 11 countries are represented in the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index at any given time. Although the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index measures the performance of high dividend-yielding companies, the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index is a “price return index” and, therefore, the return on the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index will not include any dividends paid on the securities that make up the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index. For additional information about the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index, see Annex A in this pricing 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

PS-11 | Structured Investments

Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Least Performing of the Dow Jones Industrial Average™, the NASDAQ-100 Index® and the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index

 

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), a withholding agent may nonetheless withhold on these payments (generally at a rate of 30%, subject to the possible reduction of that rate under an applicable income tax treaty), unless income from your notes is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if an applicable treaty so requires, attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States). If you are not a United States person, you are urged to consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes in light of your particular circumstances.

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 (such an index, a “Qualified Index”). Additionally, a recent IRS notice excludes from the scope of Section 871(m) instruments issued prior to January 1, 2019 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.

FATCA. Withholding under legislation commonly referred to as “FATCA” could apply to payments with respect to the notes that are treated as U.S.-source “fixed or determinable annual or periodical” income (“FDAP Income”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (such as interest, if the notes are recharacterized, in whole or in part, as debt instruments, or Contingent Interest Payments if they are otherwise treated as FDAP Income). If the notes are recharacterized, in whole or in part, as debt instruments, withholding could also apply to payments of gross proceeds of a taxable disposition, including an early redemption or redemption at maturity. However, under a recent IRS notice, this regime will not apply to payments of gross proceeds (other than any amount treated as FDAP Income) with respect to dispositions occurring before January 1, 2019. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of FATCA 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 is 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-rate debt of JPMorgan Chase & Co. 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

PS-12 | Structured Investments

Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Least Performing of the Dow Jones Industrial Average™, the NASDAQ-100 Index® and the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index

 

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 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.

Supplemental Plan of Distribution

We expect that delivery of the notes will be made against payment for the notes on or about the Original Issue Date set forth on the front cover of this pricing supplement, which will be the third business day following the Pricing Date of the notes (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to that trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on any date prior to two business days before delivery will be required to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisors.

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. This amended and restated pricing supplement amends and restates and supersedes the original preliminary pricing supplement related hereto dated June 13, 2018 in its entirety. You should not rely on the original preliminary pricing supplement related hereto dated June 13, 2018 in making your decision to invest in the notes. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in the “Risk Factors” sections of the accompanying product supplement and the accompanying underlying supplement, as the notes involve risks not associated with conventional debt securities. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers before you invest in the notes.

ANNEX A

The EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index

All information contained in this pricing supplement regarding the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, has been derived from publicly available information, without independent verification. This information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, STOXX Limited. The EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index is calculated, maintained and published by STOXX Limited. STOXX Limited has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue publication of, the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index.

The EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index is reported by Bloomberg L.P. under the ticker symbol “SD3E.”

The EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index was created by STOXX Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Börse AG. The EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index has a base date of December 30, 1998 and a base value of 1,000. The EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index is disseminated on the STOXX Limited website: http://www.stoxx.com, which sets forth, among other things, the country and industrial sector weightings of the securities included in the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index. Information contained in the STOXX Limited website is not incorporated by reference in, and should not be considered a part of, this pricing supplement.

EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index Composition and Maintenance

The EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index is composed of 30 of the highest dividend-paying stocks selected from the components of the EURO STOXX® Index, which provides a broad representation of the developed markets in the Eurozone. The component stocks are selected from 11 Eurozone countries: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain.  Not all 11 countries are represented in the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index at any given time. Although the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index measures the performance of high dividend-yielding companies, it is a price return index and, therefore, the return on the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index will not include any dividends paid on the securities that make up the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index.

Components of the EURO STOXX® Index and their secondary share lines are eligible. Companies are screened for the following criteria: indicated annualized dividend (applies for components and non-components), non-negative dividend growth rate over the past five years (applies for non-components only), dividend payments in four out of five calendar years (applies for non-components only), non-negative payout ratio (applies for components and non-components), payout ratio of less than or equal to 60% (applies for non-components only) and a minimum level of liquidity (applies for non-components) as described below. For companies that have more than one share line, the line with the higher dividend yield is chosen.

The minimum liquidity threshold for each non-component is based on the average daily traded value over the 3-month period ending on the month prior to the review month and is determined as follows:

where ADTVi represents the average daily traded value of the ith non-component stock over the 3-month period ending on the month prior to the review month.

To obtain the selection list, all companies are ranked according to an outperformance factor, calculated as the net dividend yield of the company divided by the greater of maximum of (the relevant STOXX® Country TMI net dividend yield; EURO STOXX® TMI net dividend yield) – 1. All current companies ranked from 1 to 60 in the selection list will remain in EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index. If the number is below 30, the highest ranked non-components are added until there are enough stocks.

The composition of the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index is reviewed annually in March. The EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index is also reviewed on an ongoing basis.

To maintain the number of components constant, a deleted stock is replaced with the highest-ranked non-component on the selection list. The selection list is updated on a quarterly basis according to the review component selection process. The restrictions on the maximum count per country are applied. If a company is deleted from the EURO STOXX® Index between the annual review dates, but is still a component of the STOXX® Global TMI, the stock will remain in the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index until the next annual review, provided that it still meets the requirements for the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index.

If STOXX Limited becomes aware of dividend data changes for the components of the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index, the following index adjustments may occur. The timing of the index adjustment depends on the changes in the dividend data. If the company cancels one of its dividends, the company will be deleted from the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index, the replacement

Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Least Performing of the Dow Jones Industrial Average™, the NASDAQ-100 Index® and the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index

 

announced immediately, implemented two trading days later and become effective the next trading day. If the company lowers its dividend, the company will remain in the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index until the next selection list is available. If the company is ranked 60 or above on this selection list, it is retained. If it is ranked 61 or below on the selection list, it is removed and replaced by the highest-ranked non- component on that selection list. The changes will be announced on the fifth trading day of the month together with the selection list and become effective on the first trading day after the third Friday of the month. The weight factors for the new components will be published on the quarterly underlying data announcement based on previous day closing prices.

Spin-off stocks are not considered for immediate addition in the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index. If the original company has a significantly lower dividend after the spin-off, then its status will be reviewed for fast exit as described above. In the case of mergers or takeovers, the original stock is replaced by the surviving stock, if it is ranked 60 or above on this selection list. If the stocks of the surviving company is ranked 61 or below on the selection list, the original stocks are replaced with the highest-ranked non-component on the selection list.

EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index Calculation

The EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index is weighted based on the components’ stock prices and weighting factors. The formula for calculating the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index value can be expressed as follows:

Where:

= Index level at time (t)
t = Time the index is computed
n = Number of companies in the index
= Price of company (i) at time (t)
= Weighting factor of company (i) at time (t)
= Weighting cap factor of company (i) at time (t)
= Divisor of the index at time (t)

The weighting factor for each component stock of the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index is calculated based on net-dividend yields, as follows:

Where:

wi = weight of company i
Di = net dividend of company i
pi = closing price of company i
Dj = net dividend of company j
pj = closing price of company j
N = number of index components

The weighting factors are published on the second Friday in March, one week prior to quarterly review implementation using Thursday’s closing prices.

The weighting cap factor for each component stock of the EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index is determined as follows:

Weighting cap factor = (1,000,000,000 × initial weight / closing price of the stock in EUR), rounded to integers.

An additional cap factor of 15% applies. All weighting cap factors are reviewed quarterly.

The EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index is also subject to a divisor, which is adjusted to maintain the continuity of EURO STOXX® Select Dividend 30 Index values despite changes due to corporate actions. The following is a summary of the adjustments to any component stock made for corporate actions and the effect of such adjustment on the divisor, where shareholders of the component stock will receive “B” number of shares for every “A” share held (where applicable).
