Market Linked Securities - Auto-Callable with Contingent Coupon and Contingent Downside Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Lowest Performing of the VanEck® Oil Services ETF, the VanEck® Semiconductor ETF and the State Street® Utilities Select Sector SPDR® ETF due May 18, 2029

n Linked to the lowest performing of the VanEck® Oil Services ETF, the VanEck® Semiconductor ETF and the State Street® Utilities Select Sector SPDR® ETF (each referred to as a “Fund”) n Unlike ordinary debt securities, the securities do not provide for fixed payments of interest, do not repay a fixed amount of principal at maturity and are subject to potential automatic call prior to maturity upon the terms described below. Whether the securities pay a contingent coupon, whether the securities are automatically called prior to maturity and, if they are not automatically called, whether you are repaid the principal amount of your securities at maturity will depend, in each case, on the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day. The lowest performing Fund on any calculation day is the Fund that has the lowest fund return on that calculation day, calculated for each Fund as the percentage change from its starting price to its fund closing price on that calculation day. n Contingent Coupon Payments. The securities will pay a contingent coupon payment on a quarterly basis until the earlier of maturity or automatic call if, and only if, the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on the calculation day for the relevant quarter is greater than or equal to its threshold price. However, if the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on a calculation day is less than its threshold price, you will not receive any contingent coupon payment for the relevant quarter. If the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund is less than its threshold price on every calculation day, you will not receive any contingent coupon payments throughout the entire term of the securities. The contingent coupon rate will be determined on the pricing date and will be at least 15.00% per annum. n Automatic Call. If the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on any of the quarterly calculation days from November 2026 to February 2029, inclusive, is greater than or equal to its starting price, we will automatically call the securities for the principal amount plus a final contingent coupon payment. n Potential Loss of Principal. If the securities are not automatically called prior to maturity, you will be repaid the principal amount at maturity if, and only if, the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is greater than or equal to its threshold price. If the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is less than its threshold price, you will have full downside exposure to the decrease in the price of that Fund from its starting price, and you will lose more than 40%, and possibly all, of the principal amount of your securities. n The threshold price for each Fund is equal to 60% of its starting price. n You will not participate in any appreciation of any Fund or receive any dividends paid on any Fund. n Investors may lose a significant portion or all of the principal amount. n Your return on the securities will depend solely on the performance of the lowest performing Fund on each calculation day. You will not benefit in any way from the performance of the better performing Funds. Therefore, you will be adversely affected if any Fund performs poorly, even if the other Funds perform favorably. n The securities 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 securities is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial, as issuer of the securities, and the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co., as guarantor of the securities. n No exchange listing; designed to be held to maturity

The Estimated Value of the Securities

The estimated value of the securities 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 securities, valued using the internal funding rate described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the securities. The estimated value of the securities does not represent a minimum price at which JPMS would be willing to buy your securities in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the securities 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 securities as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the securities 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 securities. The use of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the securities and any secondary market prices of the securities. For additional information, see "Selected Risk Considerations - Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Securities - The Estimated Value of the Securities 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 securities 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 securities is determined when the terms of the securities are set based on market conditions and other relevant factors and assumptions existing at that time. See "Selected Risk Considerations - Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Securities - The Estimated Value of the Securities Does Not Represent Future Values of the Securities and May Differ from Others' Estimates" in this pricing supplement.

The estimated value of the securities will be lower than the original issue price of the securities because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the securities are included in the original issue price of the securities. These costs include the selling commissions paid to WFS (which WFS has advised us includes selling concessions and distribution expense fees), the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the securities, the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the securities and the fees, if any, paid for third-party data analytics and/or electronic platform services. 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 securities may be allowed to other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, and we or one or more of our affiliates will retain any remaining hedging profits. See "Selected Risk Considerations - Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Securities - The Estimated Value of the Securities Will Be Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to Public) of the Securities" in this pricing supplement.

Secondary Market Prices of the Securities

For information about factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the securities, 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 securities will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your securities by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period that is intended to be approximately three months. The length of any such initial period reflects the structure of the securities, whether our affiliates expect to earn a profit in connection with our hedging activities, the estimated costs of hedging the securities and when these costs are incurred, as determined by our affiliates. See "Selected Risk Considerations - Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Securities - The Value of the Securities as Published by JPMS (and Which May Be Reflected on Customer Account Statements) May Be Higher Than the Then-Current Estimated Value of the Securities for a Limited Time Period" in this pricing supplement.

Supplemental Use of Proceeds

The securities are offered to meet investor demand for products that reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the securities. See "Hypothetical Examples and Returns" in this pricing supplement for an illustration of the risk-return profile of the securities and "The VanEck^® Oil Services ETF," "The VanEck^® Semiconductor ETF" and "The State Street^® Utilities Select Sector SPDR^® ETF" in this pricing supplement for a description of the market exposure provided by the securities.

The original issue price of the securities is equal to the estimated value of the securities plus the selling commissions paid to WFS (which WFS has advised us includes selling concessions and distribution expense fees), plus (minus) the projected profits (losses) that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the securities, plus the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the securities, plus the fees, if any, paid for third-party data analytics and/or electronic platform services.

§

You seek exposure to any upside performance of any Fund or you seek an investment with a return that is not limited to the contingent coupon payments that may be payable on the securities.

§

You seek exposure to a basket composed of all of the Funds or a similar investment in which the overall return is based on a blend of the performances of the Funds, rather than solely on the lowest performing Fund.

§

You are unwilling to accept the risk of exposure to each of the Funds.

The considerations identified above are not exhaustive. Whether or not the securities are an appropriate investment for you will depend on your individual circumstances, and you should reach an investment decision only after you and your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors have carefully considered the appropriateness of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances. You should also review carefully the "Selected Risk Considerations" section in this pricing supplement and the "Risk Factors" sections in the accompanying prospectus supplement and product supplement. For more information about the Funds, please see the sections titled "The VanEck^® Oil Services ETF," "The VanEck^® Semiconductor ETF" and "The State Street^® Utilities Select Sector SPDR^® ETF" below.

Determining Payment on a Contingent Coupon Payment Date and at Maturity

If the securities have not been previously automatically called, on each contingent coupon payment date, you will either receive a contingent coupon payment or you will not receive a contingent coupon payment, depending on the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on the related calculation day, as follows:

Step 1: Determine which Fund is the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day. The lowest performing Fund on any calculation day is the Fund that has the lowest fund return on that calculation day, calculated for each Fund as the percentage change from its starting price to its fund closing price on that calculation day.

Step 2: Determine whether a contingent coupon payment is payable on the applicable contingent coupon payment date based on the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day, as follows:

On the stated maturity date, if the securities have not been automatically called prior to the stated maturity date, you will receive (in addition to the final contingent coupon payment, if any) a cash payment per security (the maturity payment amount) calculated as follows:

Step 1: Determine which Fund is the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day. The lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is the Fund that has the lowest fund return on that calculation day, calculated for each Fund as the percentage change from its starting price to its ending price (i.e., its fund closing price on the final calculation day).

Step 2: Calculate the maturity payment amount (in addition to the final contingent coupon payment, if any) based on the ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day, as follows:

Hypothetical Payout Profile

The following profile illustrates the potential maturity payment amount on the securities (excluding the final contingent coupon payment, if any) for a range of hypothetical performances of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day from its starting price to its ending price, assuming the securities have not been automatically called prior to the stated maturity date. As this profile illustrates, in no event will you have a positive rate of return based solely on the maturity payment amount received at maturity; any positive return will be based solely on the contingent coupon payments, if any, received during the term of the securities. This graph has been prepared for purposes of illustration only. Your actual return will depend on the actual ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day and whether you hold your securities to stated maturity. The performance of the better performing Funds is not relevant to your return on the securities.

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the securities involves significant risks. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing directly in any or all of the Funds or their components. Some of the risks that apply to an investment in the securities are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the securities generally in the "Risk Factors" sections of the accompanying prospectus supplement and the accompanying product supplement. You should not purchase the securities unless you understand and can bear the risks of investing in the securities.

Risks Relating to the Securities Generally

·

If the Securities Are Not Automatically Called and the Ending Price of the Lowest Performing Fund on the Final Calculation Day Is Less Than Its Threshold Price, You Will Lose More Than 40%, and Possibly All, of the Principal Amount of Your Securities at Maturity — The securities do not guarantee the full return of principal. If the securities are not automatically called, the return on the securities at maturity is linked to the performance of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day and will depend on whether, and the extent to which, that Fund has depreciated. If the ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is less than its threshold price, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of the securities for every 1% that its ending price is less than its starting price. Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose more than 40%, and possibly all, of your principal amount at maturity.

·

The Securities Do Not Guarantee the Payment of Interest and May Not Pay Any Interest at All — If the securities have not been automatically called, we will make a contingent coupon payment on a contingent coupon payment date if, and only if, the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on the related calculation day is greater than or equal to its threshold price. If the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on a calculation day is less than its threshold price, no contingent coupon payment will be made on the related contingent coupon payment date. Accordingly, if the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on each calculation day is less than its threshold price, you will not receive any contingent coupon payments over the term of the securities.

·

The Potential Return on the Securities Is Limited to the Sum of Any Contingent Coupon Payments and You Will Not Participate in Any Appreciation of Any Fund — The potential return on the securities is limited to the sum of any contingent coupon payments that may be paid over the term of the securities, regardless of any appreciation of any Fund, which may be significant. You will not participate in any appreciation of any Fund. Therefore, your return on the securities may be lower than the return on a direct investment in the Funds.

·

You Will Be Subject to Reinvestment Risk — If your securities are automatically called early, the term of the securities may be reduced to as short as approximately six months. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the securities at a comparable return for a similar level of risk in the event the securities are automatically called prior to maturity. Even in cases where the securities are called before maturity, you are not entitled to any fees and commissions described on the front cover of this pricing supplement.

·

The Securities Are Subject to the 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 securities. 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 securities. If we and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were to default on our payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the securities and you could lose your entire investment.

·

As a Finance Subsidiary, JPMorgan Financial Has No Independent Activities and Has Limited Assets — As a finance subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co., we have no independent activities beyond the issuance and administration of our securities and the collection of intercompany obligations. Aside from the initial capital contribution from JPMorgan Chase & Co., substantially all of our assets relate to obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. to make payments under loans made by us to JPMorgan Chase & Co. or under other intercompany agreements. As a result, we are dependent upon payments from JPMorgan Chase & Co. to meet our obligations under the securities. We are not an operating subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and in a bankruptcy or resolution of JPMorgan Chase & Co. we are not expected to have sufficient resources to meet our obligations in respect of the securities as they come due. If JPMorgan Chase & Co. does not make payments to us and we are unable to make payments on the securities, 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. For more information, see “Risk Factors — Holders of securities issued by JPMorgan Financial may be subject to losses if JPMorgan Chase & Co. were to enter into a resolution” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

·

You Are Exposed to the Risk of Decline in the Price of Each Fund — Payments on the securities are not linked to a basket composed of the Funds and are contingent upon the performance of each individual Fund. Poor performance by any of the Funds over the term of the securities may result in the securities not being automatically called on a call settlement date, may negatively affect whether you will receive a contingent coupon payment on any contingent coupon payment date and may negatively affect

your maturity payment amount and will not be offset or mitigated by positive performance by the other Funds. Any payment on the securities will be determined by the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day.

·

Your Maturity Payment Amount Will Be Determined by the Lowest Performing Fund — Because, if the securities have not been automatically called, the maturity payment amount will be determined based on the performance of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day, you will not benefit from the performance of the other Funds. Accordingly, if the ending price of any Fund is less than its threshold price, you will lose a significant portion or all of your principal amount at maturity, even if the ending price of each of the other Funds is greater than or equal to its starting price.

·

You Will Be Subject to Risks Resulting from the Relationship Among the Funds — It is preferable from your perspective for the Funds to be correlated with each other so that their prices will tend to increase or decrease at similar times and by similar magnitudes. By investing in the securities, you assume the risk that the Funds will not exhibit this relationship. The less correlated the Funds, the more likely it is that one of the Funds will be performing poorly at any time over the term of the securities. All that is necessary for the securities to perform poorly is for one of the Funds to perform poorly; the performance of the better performing Funds is not relevant to your return on the securities. It is impossible to predict what the relationship among the Funds will be over the term of the securities.

·

Higher Contingent Coupon Rates Are Associated with Greater Risk — The securities offer contingent coupon payments at a higher rate, if paid, than the fixed rate we would pay on conventional debt securities of the same maturity. These higher potential contingent coupon payments are associated with greater levels of expected risk as of the pricing date as compared to conventional debt securities, including the risk that you may not receive a contingent coupon payment on one or more, or any, contingent coupon payment dates and the risk that you may lose a significant portion, and possibly all, of the principal amount per security at maturity. The volatility of the Funds and the correlation among the Funds are important factors affecting this risk. Volatility is a measure of the degree of variation in the price of each Fund over a period of time. Volatility can be measured in a variety of ways, including on a historical basis or on an expected basis as implied by option prices in the market. The correlation of a pair of Funds represents a statistical measurement of the degree to which the returns of those Funds are similar to each other over a given period in terms of timing and direction. Greater expected volatility of the Funds or lower correlation among the Funds as of the pricing date may result in a higher contingent coupon rate, but it also represents a greater expected likelihood as of the pricing date that the fund closing price of at least one Fund will be less than its threshold price on one or more calculation days, such that you will not receive one or more, or any, contingent coupon payments during the term of the securities, and that the ending price of at least one Fund will be less than its threshold price such that you will lose a significant portion, and possibly all, of the principal amount per security at maturity. In general, the higher the contingent coupon rate is relative to the fixed rate we would pay on conventional debt securities, the greater the expected risk that you will not receive one or more, or any, contingent coupon payments during the term of the securities and that you will lose a significant portion, and possibly all, of the principal amount per security at maturity.

·

The Benefit Provided by the Threshold Price May Terminate on the Final Calculation Day — If the ending price of any Fund is less than its threshold price and the securities have not been automatically called, the benefit provided by the threshold price will terminate and you will be fully exposed to any depreciation of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

·

No Dividend Payments or Voting or Other Rights — As a holder of the securities, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of the Funds or the securities held by the Funds would have.

·

Lack of Liquidity — The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Accordingly, the price at which you may be able to trade your securities is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which JPMS or WFS is willing to buy the securities. You may not be able to sell your securities. The securities are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your securities to maturity.

·

The Final Terms and Estimated Valuation of the Securities Will Be Provided in the Pricing Supplement — You should consider your potential investment in the securities based on the minimums for the estimated value of the securities and the contingent coupon rate.

·

The U.S. Federal Tax Consequences of the Securities Are Uncertain, and May Be Adverse to a Holder of the Securities — See “Tax Considerations” below and “Risk Factors — The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in certain program securities are uncertain” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest

·

Potential Conflicts — We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the securities, including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the securities and making the assumptions used to determine the pricing of the securities and the estimated value of the securities when the terms of the securities are set, which we refer to as the

estimated value of the securities. In performing these duties, our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s economic interests and the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the securities. In addition, our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s business activities, including hedging and trading activities, could cause our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s economic interests to be adverse to yours and could adversely affect any payment on the securities and the value of the securities. It is possible that hedging or trading activities of ours or our affiliates in connection with the securities could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the securities declines. Please refer to "Risk Factors - Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest" in the accompanying product supplement for additional information about these risks.

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

·

The Estimated Value of the Securities Will Be Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to Public) of the Securities — The estimated value of the securities is only an estimate determined by reference to several factors. The original issue price of the securities will exceed the estimated value of the securities because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the securities are included in the original issue price of the securities. 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 securities, the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the securities and the fees, if any, paid for third-party data analytics and/or electronic platform services. See “The Estimated Value of the Securities” in this pricing supplement.

·

The Estimated Value of the Securities Does Not Represent Future Values of the Securities and May Differ from Others’ Estimates — The estimated value of the securities is determined by reference to internal pricing models of our affiliates when the terms of the securities are set. This estimated value of the securities is based on market conditions and other relevant factors existing at that time and assumptions about market parameters, which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors. Different pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations for the securities that are greater than or less than the estimated value of the securities. 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 securities 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 securities from you in secondary market transactions. See “The Estimated Value of the Securities” in this pricing supplement.

·

The Estimated Value of the Securities Is Derived by Reference to an Internal Funding Rate - The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the securities 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 securities as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the securities 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 securities. The use of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the securities and any secondary market prices of the securities. See "The Estimated Value of the Securities" in this pricing supplement.

·

The Value of the Securities as Published by JPMS (and Which May Be Reflected on Customer Account Statements) May Be Higher Than the Then-Current Estimated Value of the Securities for a Limited Time Period — We generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the securities will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your securities 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, our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances and the fees paid for third-party data analytics and/or electronic platform services. See “Secondary Market Prices of the Securities” in this pricing supplement for additional information relating to this initial period. Accordingly, the estimated value of your securities during this initial period may be lower than the value of the securities as published by JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer account statements).

·

Secondary Market Prices of the Securities Will Likely Be Lower Than the Original Issue Price of the Securities — Any secondary market prices of the securities will likely be lower than the original issue price of the securities 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, estimated hedging costs and fees, if any, paid for third-party data analytics and/or electronic platform services that are included in the original issue price of the securities. As a result, the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy securities from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, is likely to be lower than the original issue price. Furthermore, if you sell your securities, you will likely be charged a commission for secondary market transactions, or the price will likely reflect a dealer discount and/or fees for use of an electronic platform to facilitate secondary market activity. Any sale by you prior to the stated maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you. See the immediately following risk consideration for information about additional factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the securities.

The securities are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your securities to maturity. See "- Risks Relating to the Securities Generally - Lack of Liquidity" above.

·

Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Securities — As described under “The Estimated Value of the Securities” in this pricing supplement, the securities can be thought of as securities that combine a fixed-income debt component with one or more derivatives. As a result, the factors that influence the values of fixed-income debt and derivative instruments will also influence the terms of the securities at issuance and their value in the secondary market. Accordingly, the secondary market price of the securities 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 prices of the Funds, including:

·

any actual or potential change in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s creditworthiness or credit spreads;

·

customary bid-ask spreads for similarly sized trades;

·

our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances;

·

the actual and expected volatility of the Funds;

·

the time to maturity of the securities;

·

the dividend rates on the Funds and the equity securities held by the Funds;

·

the actual and expected positive or negative correlation among the Funds, or the actual or expected absence of any such correlation;

·

the occurrence of certain events affecting a Fund that may or may not require an adjustment to the adjustment factor of that Fund;

·

interest and yield rates in the market generally; and

·

a variety of other economic, financial, political, regulatory and judicial events.

Additionally, independent pricing vendors and/or third party broker-dealers may publish a price for the securities, which may also be reflected on customer account statements. This price may be different (higher or lower) than the price of the securities, if any, at which JPMS may be willing to purchase your securities in the secondary market.

Risks Relating to the Funds

·

There Are Risks Associated with the Funds — Although shares of the Funds are listed for trading on a securities exchange and a number of similar products have been trading on a securities exchange for varying periods of time, there is no assurance that an active trading market will continue for the shares of the Funds or that there will be liquidity in the trading market. The Funds are subject to management risk, which is the risk that the investment strategies of the applicable Fund’s investment adviser, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. These constraints could adversely affect the market prices of the shares of the Funds and, consequently, the value of the securities.

·

The Performance and Market Value of Each Fund, Particularly During Periods of Market Volatility, May Not Correlate with the Performance of that Fund’s Fund Underlying Index As Well As the Net Asset Value Per Share — Each Fund does not fully replicate its fund underlying index and may hold securities different from those included in its fund underlying index. In addition, the performance of each Fund will reflect additional transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of its fund underlying index. All of these factors may lead to a lack of correlation between the performance of each Fund and its fund underlying index. In addition, corporate actions with respect to the equity securities underlying a Fund (such as mergers and spin-offs) may impact the variance between the performances of that Fund and its fund underlying index. Finally, because the shares of each Fund are traded on a securities exchange and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the market value of one share of each Fund may differ from the net asset value per share of that Fund.

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

·

The Securities Are Subject to Risks Associated with the Oil Services Sector with Respect to the VanEck® Oil Services ETF — All or substantially all of the equity securities held by the VanEck® Oil Services ETF are issued by companies whose primary line of business is directly associated with the oil services sector. As a result, the value of the securities may be

subject to greater volatility and be more adversely affected by a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting this sector than a different investment linked to securities of a more broadly diversified group of issuers. The profitability of oil services companies is related to worldwide energy prices, including all sources of energy, and exploration and production costs. The price of energy, the earnings of oil services companies, and the value of these companies' securities are subject to significant volatility. Oil services companies are also subject to risks of changes in exchange rates and the price of oil and gas, changes in prices for competitive energy services, changes in the global supply of and demand for oil and gas, the imposition of import controls, world events, actions of OPEC, negative perception and publicity, depletion of resources and general economic conditions, development of alternative energy sources, energy conservation efforts, technological developments and labor relations, as well as market, economic, social and political risks of the countries where oil services companies are located or do business. Oil services companies operate in a highly competitive and cyclical industry, with intense price competition. Oil services companies are exposed to significant and numerous operating hazards. Oil services companies can be significantly affected by natural disasters and adverse weather conditions in the regions in which they operate. The revenues of oil services companies may be negatively impacted by contract termination and renegotiation. Oil services companies are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, extensive federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations. Oil services companies may also be adversely affected by environmental damage claims and other types of litigation. Changes to environmental protection laws, including the implementation of policies with less stringent environmental protection standards and those geared away from sustainable energy development, could lead to fluctuations in supply, demand and prices of oil and gas. The international operations of oil services companies expose them to risks associated with instability and changes in economic and political conditions, foreign currency fluctuations, changes in interest rates, changes in foreign regulations and other risks inherent to international business. Additionally, changes to U.S. trading policies could cause friction with certain oil producing countries and between the governments of the United States and other major exporters of oil to the United States. Some oil services companies are engaged in other lines of business unrelated to oil services, and they may experience problems with these lines of business, which could adversely affect their operating results. The operating results of these companies may fluctuate as a result of these additional risks and events in the other lines of business. In addition, a company's ability to engage in new activities may expose it to business risks with which it has less experience than it has with the business risks associated with its traditional businesses. Despite a company's possible success in traditional oil services activities, there can be no assurance that the other lines of business in which these companies are engaged will not have an adverse effect on a company's business or financial condition. These factors could affect the oil services sector and could affect the value of the equity securities held by the VanEck^® Oil Services ETF and the price of one share of the VanEck^® Oil Services ETF during the term of the securities, which may adversely affect the value of your securities.

·

Non-U.S. Securities Risk with Respect to the VanEck® Oil Services ETF and the VanEck® Semiconductor ETF — Some of the equity securities held by the VanEck® Oil Services ETF and the VanEck® Semiconductor ETF 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.

·

The Securities Are Subject to Risks Associated with the Semiconductor Industry with Respect to the VanEck® Semiconductor ETF — All or substantially all of the equity securities held by the VanEck® Semiconductor ETF are issued by companies whose primary line of business is directly associated with the semiconductor industry. As a result, the value of the securities may be subject to greater volatility and be more adversely affected by a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting this industry than a different investment linked to securities of a more broadly diversified group of issuers. Competitive pressures may have a significant effect on the financial condition of companies in the semiconductor industry. As product cycles shorten and manufacturing capacity increases, these companies may become increasingly subject to aggressive pricing, which hampers profitability. Semiconductor companies are vulnerable to wide fluctuations in securities prices due to rapid product obsolescence. Many semiconductor companies may not successfully introduce new products, develop and maintain a loyal customer base or achieve general market acceptance for their products, and failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on their business, results of operations and financial condition. Reduced demand for end-user products, underutilization of manufacturing capacity, and other factors could adversely impact the operating results of companies in the semiconductor industry. Semiconductor companies typically face high capital costs and these companies may need additional financing, which may be difficult to obtain. They also may be subject to risks relating to research and development costs and the availability and price of components. Moreover, they may be heavily dependent on intellectual property rights and may be adversely affected by loss or impairment of those rights. Some of the companies involved in the semiconductor sector are also engaged in other lines of business unrelated to the semiconductor business, and they may experience problems with these lines of business, which could adversely affect their operating results. The international operations of many semiconductor companies expose them to risks associated with instability and changes in economic and political conditions, foreign currency fluctuations, changes in foreign regulations, tariffs and trade disputes, competition from subsidized foreign competitors with lower production costs and other risks inherent to international business. The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical, which may cause the operating results of many semiconductor companies to vary significantly. Companies in the semiconductor industry also may be subject to competition from new market entrants. The stock prices of companies in the semiconductor industry have been and will likely continue to be extremely volatile compared to the overall market. These factors could affect the semiconductor industry and could affect the value of the equity securities held by the VanEck® Semiconductor ETF and the price of the VanEck® Semiconductor ETF during the term of the securities, which may adversely affect the value of your securities.

·

The Securities Are Subject to Risks Associated with the Utilities Sector with Respect to the State Street® Utilities Select Sector SPDR® ETF — All or substantially all of the equity securities held by the State Street® Utilities Select Sector SPDR® ETF are issued by companies whose primary line of business is directly associated with the utilities sector. As a result, the value of the securities may be subject to greater volatility and be more adversely affected by a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting this sector than a different investment linked to securities of a more broadly diversified group of issuers. Utility companies are affected by supply and demand, operating costs, government regulation, environmental factors, liabilities for environmental damage and general civil liabilities and rate caps or rate changes. Although rate changes of a regulated utility usually fluctuate in approximate correlation with financing costs, due to political and regulatory factors, rate changes ordinarily occur only following a delay after the changes in financing costs. This factor will tend to favorably affect a regulated utility company’s earnings and dividends in times of decreasing costs, but conversely, will tend to adversely affect earnings and dividends when costs are rising. The value of regulated utility equity securities may tend to have an inverse relationship to the movement of interest rates. Certain utility companies have experienced full or partial deregulation in recent years. These utility companies are frequently more similar to industrial companies in that they are subject to greater competition and have been permitted by regulators to diversify outside of their original geographic regions and their traditional lines of business. These opportunities may permit certain utility companies to earn more than their traditional regulated rates of return. Some companies, however, may be forced to defend their core business and may be less profitable. In addition, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, government intervention or other factors may render a utility company’s equipment unusable or obsolete and negatively impact profitability. Among the risks that may affect utility companies are the following: risks of increases in fuel and other operating costs; the high cost of borrowing to finance capital construction during inflationary periods; restrictions on operations and increased costs and delays associated with compliance with environmental and nuclear safety regulations; and the difficulties involved in obtaining natural gas for resale or fuel for generating electricity at reasonable prices. Other risks include those related to the construction and operation of nuclear power plants, the effects of energy conservation and the effects of regulatory changes. These factors could affect the utilities sector and could affect the value of the equity securities held by the State Street® Utilities Select Sector SPDR® ETF and the price of the State Street® Utilities Select Sector SPDR® ETF during the term of the securities, which may adversely affect the value of your securities.

·

The Anti-Dilution Protection Is Limited and May Be Discretionary — The calculation agent will, in its sole discretion, adjust the adjustment factor, which will be set initially at 1.0, of a Fund for certain events affecting that Fund, such as stock splits. However, the calculation agent is not required to make an adjustment for every event that can affect a Fund. If such a dilution event occurs and the calculation agent is not required to make an adjustment, the value of the securities may be materially and adversely affected. You should also be aware that the calculation agent may make adjustments in response to events that are not described in the accompanying product supplement to account for any dilutive or concentrative effect, but the calculation agent is under no obligation to do so.

·

Any Payment on the Securities Will Depend upon the Performance of Each Fund and Therefore the Securities Are Subject to the Following Risks, Each as Discussed in More Detail in the Accompanying Product Supplement.

·

You Will Have No Ownership Rights in the Funds or Any of the Securities Held by the Funds. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing directly in any or all of the Funds or any of the securities held by the Funds or exchange-traded or over-the-counter instruments based on any of the foregoing. As an investor in the securities, you will not have any ownership interests or rights in any of the foregoing.

·

Historical Prices of a Fund Should Not Be Taken as an Indication of the Future Performance of that Fund During the Term of the Securities.

·

The Policies of the Investment Adviser for a Fund, and the Sponsor of Its Fund Underlying Index, Could Affect the Value of, and Any Amount Payable on, the Securities.

·

We Cannot Control Actions by Any of the Unaffiliated Companies Whose Securities Are Held by a Fund.

·

We and Our Affiliates Have No Affiliation with the Sponsor of Each Fund and Have Not Independently Verified Its Public Disclosure of Information.

Hypothetical Returns

If the securities are automatically called:

If the securities are automatically called prior to stated maturity, you will receive the principal amount of your securities plus a final contingent coupon payment on the call settlement date. In the event the securities are automatically called, your total return on the securities will equal any contingent coupon payments received prior to the call settlement date and the contingent coupon payment received on the call settlement date.

If the securities are not automatically called:

If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity, the following table illustrates, for a range of hypothetical fund returns of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day, the hypothetical maturity payment amount payable at stated maturity per security (excluding the final contingent coupon payment, if any).

Hypothetical fund return of lowest performing Fund on final calculation day	Hypothetical maturity payment amount per security
75.00%	$1,000.00
60.00%	$1,000.00
50.00%	$1,000.00
40.00%	$1,000.00
30.00%	$1,000.00
20.00%	$1,000.00
10.00%	$1,000.00
0.00%	$1,000.00
-10.00%	$1,000.00
-20.00%	$1,000.00
-30.00%	$1,000.00
-40.00%	$1,000.00
-41.00%	$590.00
-50.00%	$500.00
-60.00%	$400.00
-75.00%	$250.00
-90.00%	$100.00
-100.00%	$0.00

The above figures do not take into account contingent coupon payments, if any, received during the term of the securities. As evidenced above, in no event will you have a positive rate of return based solely on the maturity payment amount received at maturity; any positive return will be based solely on the contingent coupon payments, if any, received during the term of the securities.

The above figures are for purposes of illustration only and may have been rounded for ease of analysis. If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity, the actual amount you will receive at stated maturity will depend on the actual ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day. The performance of the better performing Funds is not relevant to your return on the securities.

Hypothetical Contingent Coupon Payments

Set forth below are examples that illustrate how to determine whether a contingent coupon payment will be paid and whether the securities will be automatically called, if applicable, on a contingent coupon payment date prior to the stated maturity date. The examples do not reflect any specific contingent coupon payment date. The following examples assume that the securities are subject to automatic call on the applicable calculation day. The securities will not be subject to automatic call until the second calculation day, which is approximately six months after the issue date. The following examples reflect a hypothetical contingent coupon rate of 15.00% per annum (the minimum contingent coupon rate; the actual contingent coupon rate will be provided in the pricing supplement) and assume the hypothetical starting price, threshold price and fund closing prices for each Fund indicated in the examples. The terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples do not represent any actual starting price, threshold price or fund closing prices. These examples are for purposes of illustration only and the values used in the examples may have been rounded for ease of analysis.

The hypothetical starting price of $100.00 for each Fund has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and may not represent a likely actual starting price for any Fund. The actual starting price for each Fund will be the fund closing price of that Fund on the pricing date and will be specified in the pricing supplement. For historical data regarding the actual closing prices of the Funds, please see the historical information set forth under "The VanEck^® Oil Services ETF," "The VanEck^® Semiconductor ETF" and "The State Street^® Utilities Select Sector SPDR^® ETF" in this pricing supplement.

Example 1. The hypothetical fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day is greater than its hypothetical threshold price and less than its hypothetical starting price. As a result, investors receive a contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date and the securities are not automatically called.

	The VanEck® Oil Services ETF	The VanEck® Semiconductor ETF	The State Street® Utilities Select Sector SPDR® ETF
Hypothetical starting price:	$100.00	$100.00	$100.00
Hypothetical fund closing price on relevant calculation day:	$95.00	$115.00	$90.00
Hypothetical threshold price:	$60.00	$60.00	$60.00
Hypothetical fund return (fund closing price on relevant calculation day - starting price) / starting price:	-5.00%	15.00%	-10.00%

Step 1: Determine which Fund is the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day.

In this example, the State Street^® Utilities Select Sector SPDR^® ETF has the lowest fund return and is, therefore, the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day.

Step 2: Determine whether a contingent coupon payment will be payable and whether the securities will be automatically called on the applicable contingent coupon payment date.

Since the hypothetical fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day is greater than its hypothetical threshold price, but less than its hypothetical starting price, you would receive a contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date and the securities would not be automatically called. The contingent coupon payment would be equal to $37.50 per security, determined as follows: (i) $1,000 multiplied by 15.00% per annum divided by (ii) 4, rounded to the nearest cent.

Example 2. The hypothetical fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day is less than its hypothetical threshold price. As a result, investors do not receive a contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date and the securities are not automatically called.

	The VanEck® Oil Services ETF	The VanEck® Semiconductor ETF	The State Street® Utilities Select Sector SPDR® ETF
Hypothetical starting price:	$100.00	$100.00	$100.00
Hypothetical fund closing price on relevant calculation day:	$125.00	$55.00	$105.00
Hypothetical threshold price:	$60.00	$60.00	$60.00
Hypothetical fund return (fund closing price on relevant calculation day - starting price) / starting price:	25.00%	-45.00%	5.00%

Step 1: Determine which Fund is the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day.

In this example, the VanEck^® Semiconductor ETF has the lowest fund return and is, therefore, the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day.

Step 2: Determine whether a contingent coupon payment will be payable and whether the securities will be automatically called on the applicable contingent coupon payment date.

The securities would not be automatically called, even though the hypothetical fund closing prices of the better performing Funds are greater than their hypothetical starting prices. In addition, since the hypothetical fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day is less than its hypothetical threshold price, you would not receive a contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date. As this example illustrates, whether you receive a contingent coupon payment and whether the securities are automatically called on a contingent coupon payment date will depend solely on the fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day. The performance of the better performing Funds is not relevant to your return on the securities.

Example 3. The hypothetical fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day is greater than its hypothetical starting price. As a result, the securities are automatically called on the applicable contingent coupon payment date for the principal amount plus a final contingent coupon payment.

	The VanEck® Oil Services ETF	The VanEck® Semiconductor ETF	The State Street® Utilities Select Sector SPDR® ETF
Hypothetical starting price:	$100.00	$100.00	$100.00
Hypothetical fund closing price on relevant calculation day:	$105.00	$115.00	$130.00
Hypothetical threshold price:	$60.00	$60.00	$60.00
Hypothetical fund return (fund closing price on relevant calculation day - starting price) / starting price:	5.00%	15.00%	30.00%

Step 1: Determine which Fund is the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day.

In this example, the VanEck^® Oil Services ETF has the lowest fund return and is, therefore, the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day.

Step 2: Determine whether a contingent coupon payment will be payable and whether the securities will be automatically called on the applicable contingent coupon payment date.

Since the hypothetical fund closing price of the lowest performing Fund on the relevant calculation day is greater than its hypothetical starting price, the securities would be automatically called and you would receive the principal amount plus a final contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date, which is also referred to as the call settlement date. On the call settlement date, you would receive $1,037.50 per security. You will not receive any further payments after the call settlement date.

Hypothetical Payment at Stated Maturity

Set forth below are examples of calculations of the maturity payment amount payable at stated maturity, assuming that the securities have not been automatically called prior to stated maturity and assuming the hypothetical starting price, threshold price and ending prices for each Fund indicated in the examples. The terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples do not represent any actual starting price, threshold price or ending price. These examples are for purposes of illustration only and the values used in the examples may have been rounded for ease of analysis.

The hypothetical starting price of $100.00 for each Fund has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and may not represent a likely actual starting price for any Fund. The actual starting price for each Fund will be the fund closing price of that Fund on the pricing date and will be specified in the pricing supplement. For historical data regarding the actual closing prices of the Funds, please see the historical information set forth under "The VanEck^® Oil Services ETF," "The VanEck^® Semiconductor ETF" and "The State Street^® Utilities Select Sector SPDR^® ETF" in this pricing supplement.

Example 1. The hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is greater than its hypothetical starting price, the maturity payment amount is equal to the principal amount of your securities at maturity and you receive a final contingent coupon payment.

	The VanEck® Oil Services ETF	The VanEck® Semiconductor ETF	The State Street® Utilities Select Sector SPDR® ETF
Hypothetical starting price:	$100.00	$100.00	$100.00
Hypothetical ending price:	$135.00	$145.00	$125.00
Hypothetical threshold price:	$60.00	$60.00	$60.00
Hypothetical fund return (ending price - starting price) / starting price:	35.00%	45.00%	25.00%

Step 1: Determine which Fund is the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

In this example, the State Street^® Utilities Select Sector SPDR^® ETF has the lowest fund return and is, therefore, the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

Step 2: Determine the maturity payment amount based on the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

Since the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is greater than its hypothetical threshold price, the maturity payment amount would equal the principal amount. Although the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is significantly greater than its hypothetical starting price in this scenario, the maturity payment amount will not exceed the principal amount.

In addition to any contingent coupon payments received during the term of the securities, on the stated maturity date, you would receive $1,000 per security as well as a final contingent coupon payment because the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is greater than its hypothetical threshold price.

Example 2. The hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is less than its hypothetical starting price but greater than its hypothetical threshold price, the maturity payment amount is equal to the principal amount of your securities at maturity and you receive a final contingent coupon payment.

	The VanEck® Oil Services ETF	The VanEck® Semiconductor ETF	The State Street® Utilities Select Sector SPDR® ETF
Hypothetical starting price:	$100.00	$100.00	$100.00
Hypothetical ending price:	$115.00	$90.00	$110.00
Hypothetical threshold price:	$60.00	$60.00	$60.00
Hypothetical fund return (ending price - starting price) / starting price:	15.00%	-10.00%	10.00%

Step 1: Determine which Fund is the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

In this example, the VanEck^® Semiconductor ETF has the lowest fund return and is, therefore, the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

Step 2: Determine the maturity payment amount based on the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

Since the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is less than its hypothetical starting price but greater than its hypothetical threshold price, you would be repaid the principal amount of your securities at maturity.

In addition to any contingent coupon payments received during the term of the securities, on the stated maturity date, you would receive $1,000 per security as well as a final contingent coupon payment because the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is greater than its hypothetical threshold price.

Example 3. The hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is less than its hypothetical threshold price, the maturity payment amount is less than the principal amount of your securities at maturity and you do not receive a final contingent coupon payment.

	The VanEck® Oil Services ETF	The VanEck® Semiconductor ETF	The State Street® Utilities Select Sector SPDR® ETF
Hypothetical starting price:	$100.00	$100.00	$100.00
Hypothetical ending price:	$40.00	$120.00	$90.00
Hypothetical threshold price:	$60.00	$60.00	$60.00
Hypothetical fund return (ending price - starting price) / starting price:	-60.00%	20.00%	-10.00%

Step 1: Determine which Fund is the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

In this example, the VanEck^® Oil Services ETF has the lowest fund return and is, therefore, the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

Step 2: Determine the maturity payment amount based on the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day.

Since the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is less than its hypothetical threshold price, you would lose a portion of the principal amount of your securities and receive the maturity payment amount equal to $400.00 per security, calculated as follows:

= $1,000 + ($1,000 × fund return of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day)

= $1,000 + ($1,000 × -60.00%)

= $400.00

In addition to any contingent coupon payments received during the term of the securities, on the stated maturity date you would receive $400.00 per security. Because the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is less than its hypothetical threshold price, you will not receive a final contingent coupon payment.

These examples illustrate that you will not participate in any appreciation of any Fund, but will be fully exposed to a decrease in the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day if its ending price is less than its threshold price, even if the ending prices of the other Funds have appreciated or have not declined below their respective threshold prices.

To the extent that the starting price, threshold price and ending price of the lowest performing Fund differ from the values assumed above, the results indicated above would be different.

The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the securities shown above apply only if you hold the securities 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.

Tax Considerations

You should review carefully the section entitled "United States Federal Taxation" in the accompanying prospectus supplement. The following discussion, when read in combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of securities.

In determining our reporting responsibilities we intend to treat (i) the securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons and (ii) any contingent coupon payments as ordinary income, as described in the section entitled "United States Federal Taxation - Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders - Program Securities Treated as Prepaid Financial Contracts with Associated Coupons" in the accompanying prospectus 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 securities 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; 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 securities, possibly with retroactive effect. The discussions above and in the accompanying prospectus 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 securities, 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 coupon payments is uncertain, and although we believe it is reasonable to take a position that contingent coupon 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 coupon 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 securities 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 securities, 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, 2027 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 our representation that the securities do not have a "delta of one" within the meaning of the regulations, our special tax counsel believes that these regulations should not apply to the securities with regard to non-U.S. Holders, and we have determined to treat the securities as not being subject to Section 871(m). 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 securities. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to the securities.

In the event of any withholding on the securities, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so withheld.
