notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The
notice focuses on a number of issues, the most relevant of which for investors in the notes are the character of income or loss
(including whether the Put Premium might be currently included as ordinary income) and the degree, if any, to which income realized by
non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax. While it is not clear whether the notes would be viewed as similar to the typical
prepaid forward contract described in the notice, it is possible that 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.
We will determine the portion of each Interest Payment on the notes that we will allocate to interest on the Deposit and to Put Premium,
respectively, and will provide that allocation in the pricing supplement for the notes. If the notes had priced on July 30, 2025, we would
have allocated approximately 54.26% of each Interest Payment to interest on the Deposit and the remainder to Put Premium. The
actual allocation that we will determine for the notes may differ from this hypothetical allocation, and will depend upon a variety of
factors, including actual market conditions and our borrowing costs for debt instruments of comparable maturities on the Pricing Date.
Assuming that the treatment of the notes as units each comprising a Put Option and a Deposit is respected, amounts treated as interest
on the Deposit will be taxed as ordinary income, while the Put Premium will not be taken into account prior to sale or settlement,
including a settlement following an automatic call.
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 discussions above and in the accompanying product supplement do not address the consequences to taxpayers subject to special
tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code. You should consult your tax adviser regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal
income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the 2007
notice. Purchasers who are not initial purchasers of notes at the issue price should also consult their tax advisers with respect to the
tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including possible alternative treatments, as well as the allocation of the purchase
price of the notes between the Deposit and the Put Option.
The Estimated Value of the Notes
The estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement is equal to the sum of the values of the following
hypothetical components: (1) a fixed-income debt component with the same maturity as the notes, valued using the internal funding
rate described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes. The estimated value of the notes
does not represent a minimum price at which JPMS would be willing to buy your notes in any secondary market (if any exists) at any
time. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied funding
rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference may be
based on, among other things, our and our affiliates’ view of the funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance, operational
and ongoing liability management costs of the notes in comparison to those costs for the conventional fixed income instruments of
JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect,
and is intended to approximate the prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use of an internal funding rate and
any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any secondary market prices of the notes.
For additional information, see “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and 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.
