Selected Risks
•Your investment in the notes may result in a loss. The Notes do not guarantee return of your principal at maturity.
•Your maximum gain on the notes if the Index return is negative is limited by the contingent buffer amount
•Payment on the notes at maturity is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial Company LLC and JPMorgan Chase & Co. Therefore the value of the notes prior to maturity will be subject to changes in the market’s view of the creditworthiness of JPMorgan Financial or JPMorgan Chase & Co.
•The benefit provided by the contingent buffer amount and contingent minimum return may terminate on the Observation Date.
•No interest or dividend payments, voting rights, or ownership rights with the securities included in the Index.
•As a finance subsidiary, JPMorgan Financial Company LLC has no independent operations and has limited assets.
•You are exposed to the risks associated with small capitalization companies.
•The Guarantor is one of the companies that makes up the S&P 500 Index.
•You are exposed to the risk of decline in the level of each Index.
•The Upside Leverage Factor only applies to any appreciation in the Lesser Performing Index above the Contingent Minimum Return.
Selected Risks (continued)
•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 determined by reference to an internal funding rate.
•The estimated value of the notes does not represent future values and may differ from others’ estimates.
•The value of the notes, which may be reflected in customer account statements, may be higher than the then current estimated value of the notes for a limited time period.
•Lack of liquidity: J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, acting as agent for the Issuer (and who we refer to as JPMS), intends to offer to purchase the notes in the secondary market but is not required to do so. The price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to purchase notes from you in the secondary market, if at all, may result in a significant loss of your principal.
•Potential conflicts: We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of notes, including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the notes, and making the assumptions used to determine the pricing of the notes and the estimated value of the notes when the terms of the notes are set. It is possible that such hedging or other trading activities of J.P. Morgan or its affiliates could result in substantial returns for J.P. Morgan and its affiliates while the value of the notes decline.
•The tax consequences of the notes may be uncertain. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes.
The risks identified above are not exhaustive. Please see “Risk Factors” in the applicable product supplement and “Selected Risk Considerations” to the applicable preliminary pricing supplement for additional information.
