Supplemental Terms
of the Notes
Any values of the Indices, and any values derived therefrom,
included in this pricing supplement may be corrected, in the event of manifest error or inconsistency, by amendment of this pricing supplement
and the corresponding terms of the notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the indenture governing the notes, that amendment
will become effective without consent of the holders of the notes or any other party.
Hypothetical Payout
Profile
The following table and graph illustrate the hypothetical
total return and payment at maturity on the notes linked to two hypothetical Indices. The “total return” as used in this pricing
supplement is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note
to $1,000. The hypothetical total returns and payments set forth below assume the following:
| · | an Initial Value for the Lesser Performing Index of 100.00; |
| · | a Contingent Digital Return of 10.45%; and |
| · | a Barrier Amount for the Lesser Performing Index of 70.00 (equal to 70.00% of its hypothetical Initial Value). |
The hypothetical Initial Value of the Lesser Performing
Index of 100.00 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and may not represent a likely actual Initial Value of either Index. The
actual Initial Value of each Index will be the closing level of that Index on the Pricing Date and will be provided in the pricing supplement.
For historical data regarding the actual closing levels of each Index, please see the historical information set forth under “The
Indices” in this pricing supplement.
Each hypothetical total return or hypothetical payment
at maturity set forth below is for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual total return or payment at maturity applicable
to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following table and graph have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Uncapped Digital Barrier Notes Linked to the Lesser Performing
of the S&P 500® Index and the Russell 2000® Index |
|
The following graph demonstrates the hypothetical payments
at maturity on the notes for a range of Lesser Performing Index Returns. There can be no assurance that the performance of the Lesser
Performing Index will result in the return of any of your principal amount.
How the Notes Work
Upside Scenario:
If the Final Value of each Index is greater than or equal
to its Barrier Amount of 70.00% of its Initial Value, investors will receive at maturity the $1,000 principal amount plus a return
equal to the greater of (a) the Contingent Digital Return of at least 10.45% and (b) the Lesser Performing Index Return.
| · | Assuming a hypothetical Contingent Digital Return of 10.45%, if the closing level of the Lesser Performing Index increases 10.00%,
investors will receive at maturity a return equal to 10.45%, or $1,104.50 per $1,000 principal amount note. |
| · | Assuming a hypothetical Contingent Digital Return of 10.45%, if the closing level of the Lesser Performing Index increases 20.00%,
investors will receive at maturity a return equal to 20.00%, or $1,200.00 per $1,000 principal amount note. |
| · | Assuming a hypothetical Contingent Digital Return of 10.45%, if the closing level of the Lesser Performing Index decreases 10.00%,
investors will receive at maturity a return equal to 10.45%, or $1,104.50 per $1,000 principal amount note. |
Downside Scenario:
If the Final Value of either Index is less than its Barrier
Amount of 70.00% of its Initial Value, investors will lose 1% of the principal amount of their notes for every 1% that the Final Value
of the Lesser Performing Index is less than its Initial Value.
| · | For example, if the closing level of the Lesser Performing Index declines 60.00%, investors will lose 60.00% of their principal amount
and receive only $400.00 per $1,000 principal amount note at maturity. |
The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments
on the notes shown above apply only if you hold the notes for their entire term. These hypotheticals do not reflect the fees or
expenses that would be associated with any sale in the secondary market. If these fees and expenses were included, the hypothetical returns
and hypothetical payments shown above would likely be lower.

Selected Risk Considerations
An investment in the notes involves significant risks.
These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” sections of the accompanying prospectus supplement and product
supplement and in Annex A to the accompanying prospectus addendum.
Risks Relating to the Notes Generally
| · | YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS — |
The notes do not guarantee any return of principal.
If the Final Value of either Index is less than its Barrier Amount, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1%
that the Final Value of the Lesser Performing Index is less than its Initial Value. Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose
more than 30.00% of your principal amount at maturity and could lose all of your principal amount at maturity.
| · | YOUR ABILITY TO RECEIVE THE CONTINGENT DIGITAL RETURN MAY TERMINATE ON THE OBSERVATION DATE — |
If the Final Value of either Index is less than
its Barrier Amount, you will not be entitled to receive the Contingent Digital Return at maturity. Under these circumstances, you will
lose more than 30.00% of your principal amount at maturity and could lose all of your principal amount at maturity.
| · | CREDIT RISKS OF JPMORGAN FINANCIAL AND JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. — |
Investors are dependent on our and JPMorgan
Chase & Co.’s ability to pay all amounts due on the notes. Any actual or potential change in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s
creditworthiness or credit spreads, as determined by the market for taking that credit risk, is likely to adversely affect the value of
the notes. If we and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were to default on our payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed
to you under the notes and you could lose your entire investment.
| · | 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 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 notes.
We are not a key 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 notes as they come due. If JPMorgan Chase & Co.
does not make payments to us and we are unable 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. For more information, see the accompanying prospectus addendum.
| · | YOU ARE EXPOSED TO THE RISK OF DECLINE IN THE LEVEL OF EACH INDEX — |
Payments on the notes are not linked to a basket
composed of the Indices and are contingent upon the performance of each individual Index. Poor performance by either of the Indices over
the term of the notes may negatively affect your payment at maturity and will not be offset or mitigated by positive performance by the
other Index.
| · | YOUR PAYMENT AT MATURITY WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE LESSER PERFORMING INDEX. |
| · | THE BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE BARRIER AMOUNT MAY TERMINATE ON THE OBSERVATION DATE — |
If the Final Value of either Index is less than
its Barrier Amount, the benefit provided by the Barrier Amount will terminate and you will be fully exposed to any depreciation of the
Lesser Performing Index.
| · | THE NOTES DO NOT PAY INTEREST. |
| · | YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE DIVIDENDS ON THE SECURITIES INCLUDED IN EITHER INDEX OR HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THOSE SECURITIES.
|
| · | THE RISK OF THE CLOSING LEVEL OF AN INDEX FALLING BELOW ITS BARRIER AMOUNT IS GREATER IF THE LEVEL OF THAT INDEX IS VOLATILE. |

|
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 J.P.
Morgan Securities LLC, which we refer to as JPMS, is willing to buy the notes. You may not be able to sell your notes. The notes are not
designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity.
| · | THE FINAL TERMS AND VALUATION OF THE NOTES WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE PRICING SUPPLEMENT — |
You should consider your potential investment
in the notes based on the minimums for the estimated value of the notes and the Contingent Digital Return.
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest
We and our affiliates play a variety of roles
in connection with the notes. In performing these duties, our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s economic interests are potentially
adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes. It is possible that hedging or trading activities of ours or our affiliates in
connection with the notes could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the notes declines. Please refer
to “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest” in the accompanying product supplement.
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary
Market Prices of the Notes
| · | THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES 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 structuring and hedging the notes are included in the original issue price of the notes. These costs include
the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the
notes and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. See “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing
supplement.
| · | THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE VALUES OF THE NOTES AND MAY DIFFER FROM OTHERS’ ESTIMATES —
|
See “The Estimated Value of the Notes”
in this pricing supplement.
| · | THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES IS DERIVED BY REFERENCE TO AN INTERNAL FUNDING RATE — |
The internal funding rate used in the determination
of the estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied funding rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar
maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference may be based on, among other things, our and our
affiliates’ view of the funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management
costs of the notes in comparison to those costs for the conventional fixed income instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This
internal funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate
the prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate
may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any secondary market prices of the notes. See “The Estimated Value of the
Notes” in this pricing supplement.
| · | THE VALUE OF THE NOTES AS PUBLISHED BY JPMS (AND WHICH MAY BE REFLECTED ON CUSTOMER ACCOUNT STATEMENTS) MAY BE HIGHER THAN THE
THEN-CURRENT ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES FOR A LIMITED TIME PERIOD — |
We generally expect that some of the costs included
in the original issue price of the notes will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in
an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period. See “Secondary Market Prices of the Notes” in this
pricing supplement for additional information relating to this initial period. Accordingly, the estimated value of your notes during this
initial period may be lower than the value of the notes as published by JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer account statements).
| · | SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL LIKELY BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE OF THE NOTES — |
Any secondary market prices of the notes will
likely be lower than the original issue price of the notes because, among other things, secondary market prices take into account our
internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances and, also, because secondary market prices may exclude projected
hedging profits, if any, and estimated hedging costs that are
PS-5
| Structured Investments
Uncapped Digital Barrier Notes Linked to the Lesser Performing
of the S&P 500® Index and the Russell 2000® Index |
|
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
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.
Risks Relating to the Indices
| · | JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. IS CURRENTLY ONE OF THE COMPANIES THAT MAKE UP THE S&P 500® INDEX, |
but JPMorgan Chase & Co. will
not have any obligation to consider your interests in taking any corporate action that might affect the level of the S&P 500®
Index.
| · | AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES IS SUBJECT TO RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SMALL CAPITALIZATION STOCKS WITH RESPECT TO THE RUSSELL 2000®
INDEX — |
Small capitalization companies may be less able
to withstand adverse economic, market, trade and competitive conditions relative to larger companies. Small capitalization companies are
less likely to pay dividends on their stocks, and the presence of a dividend payment could be a factor that limits downward stock price
pressure under adverse market conditions.

The Indices
The S&P 500® Index consists of stocks
of 500 companies selected to provide a performance benchmark for the U.S. equity markets. For additional information about the S&P
500® Index, see “Equity Index Descriptions — The S&P U.S. Indices” in the accompanying underlying
supplement.
The Russell 2000® Index consists of
the middle 2,000 companies included in the Russell 3000E™ Index and, as a result of the index calculation methodology, consists
of the smallest 2,000 companies included in the Russell 3000® Index. The Russell 2000® Index is designed
to track the performance of the small capitalization segment of the U.S. equity market. For additional information about the Russell 2000®
Index, see “Equity Index Descriptions — The Russell Indices” in the accompanying underlying supplement.
Historical Information
The following graphs set forth the historical performance
of each Index based on the weekly historical closing levels from January 4, 2019 through December 6, 2024. The closing level of the S&P
500® Index on December 11, 2024 was 6,084.19. The closing level of the Russell 2000® Index on December 11,
2024 was 2,394.159. We obtained the closing levels above and below from the Bloomberg Professional® service (“Bloomberg”),
without independent verification.
The historical closing levels of each Index should
not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the closing level of either Index on the Pricing
Date or the Observation Date. There can be no assurance that the performance of the Indices will result in the return of any of your principal
amount.

Tax Treatment
In determining
our reporting responsibilities, we intend to treat the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes as “open transactions” that
are not debt instruments, as described in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Tax Consequences
to U.S. Holders — Notes Treated as Open Transactions That Are Not Debt Instruments” in the accompanying product supplement
no. 4-I. 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 and adversely affected.
No statutory,
judicial or administrative authority directly addresses the characterization of the notes (or similar instruments) for U.S. federal income
tax purposes, and no ruling is being requested from the IRS with respect to their proper characterization and treatment. Assuming that
“open transaction” treatment is respected, the gain or loss on your notes should be treated as long-term capital gain or loss
if you hold your notes for more than a year, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of the notes at the issue price. However, the
IRS or a court may not respect the treatment of the notes as “open transactions,” in which case the timing and character of
any income or loss on the notes could be materially and adversely affected. For instance, the notes could be treated as contingent payment
debt instruments, in which case the gain on your notes would be treated as ordinary income and you would be required to accrue original
issue discount on your notes in each taxable year at the “comparable yield,” as determined by us, although we will not make
any payment with respect to the notes until maturity.
In addition,
in 2007 Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward
contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require investors in these instruments to accrue
income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or
loss with respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments
are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to
withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” regime, which very
generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income and impose a notional interest charge. While
the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated
after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the notes, possibly
with retroactive effect. You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”
in the accompanying product supplement and consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment
in the notes, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by this notice.
Section 871(m)
of the Code and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 871(m)”) generally impose a 30% withholding tax (unless
an income tax treaty applies) on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid to Non-U.S. Holders with respect to certain financial instruments
linked to U.S. equities or indices that include U.S. equities. Section 871(m) provides certain exceptions to this withholding regime,
including for instruments linked to certain broad-based indices that meet requirements set forth in the applicable Treasury regulations.
Additionally, a recent IRS notice excludes from the scope of Section 871(m) instruments issued prior to January 1, 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 certain determinations made by us, we expect that Section 871(m) will not apply to the notes
with regard to Non-U.S. Holders. Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination. Section
871(m) is complex and its application may depend on your particular circumstances, including whether you enter into other transactions
with respect to an Underlying Security. If necessary, further information regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) will be
provided in the pricing supplement for the notes. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of Section 871(m)
to the notes.
The Estimated
Value of the Notes
The estimated value of the notes set forth on the
cover of this pricing supplement is equal to the sum of the values of the following hypothetical components: (1) a fixed-income debt component
with the same maturity as the notes, valued using the internal funding rate described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying
the economic terms of the notes. The estimated value of the notes does not represent a minimum price at which JPMS would be willing to
buy your notes in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated
value of the notes may differ from the market-implied funding rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar maturity issued by
JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference may be based on, among other things, our and our affiliates’
view of the funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the notes
in comparison to those costs for the conventional fixed income instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal funding
rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the prevailing
market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an
adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any secondary market prices of the notes. For additional information, see “Selected

Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Estimated Value
of the Notes Is Derived by Reference to an Internal Funding Rate” in this pricing supplement.
The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying
the economic terms of the notes is derived from internal pricing models of our affiliates. These models are dependent on inputs such as
the traded market prices of comparable derivative instruments and on various other inputs, some of which are market-observable, and which
can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors, as well as assumptions about future market events and/or environments.
Accordingly, the estimated value of the notes is determined when the terms of the notes are set based on market conditions and other relevant
factors and assumptions existing at that time.
The estimated value of the notes does not represent
future values of the notes and may differ from others’ estimates. Different pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations
for the notes that are greater than or less than the estimated value of the notes. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors
in the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to be incorrect. On future dates, the value of the notes could change significantly
based on, among other things, changes in market conditions, our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness, interest
rate movements and other relevant factors, which may impact the price, if any, at which JPMS would be willing to buy notes from you in
secondary market transactions.
The estimated value of the notes will be lower than
the original issue price of the notes because costs associated with structuring and hedging the notes are included in the original issue
price of the notes. These costs include the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent
in hedging our obligations under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes. Because hedging our obligations
entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than
expected, or it may result in a loss. A portion of the profits, if any, realized in hedging our obligations under the notes may be allowed
to other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, and we or one or more of our affiliates will retain any remaining hedging profits. See “Selected
Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Estimated Value
of the Notes 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 — Risks Relating to
the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Value of the Notes as Published by JPMS (and Which May Be Reflected
on Customer Account Statements) May Be Higher Than the Then-Current Estimated Value of the Notes for a Limited Time Period” in this
pricing supplement.
Supplemental
Use of Proceeds
The notes are offered to meet investor demand for products
that reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the notes. See “Hypothetical Payout Profile” and “How
the Notes Work” in this pricing supplement for an illustration of the risk-return profile of the notes and “The 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 (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.
