Dual Directional Trigger PLUS Based on the Value of the EURO STOXX 50® Index due July 6, 2017

Trigger Performance Leveraged Upside SecuritiesSM

Principal at Risk Securities

The Dual Directional Trigger PLUS, or “Trigger PLUS,” are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co., will pay no interest, do not guarantee any return of your principal at maturity and have the terms described in the accompanying product supplement no. MS-1-III, the prospectus supplement and the prospectus, as supplemented or modified by this document. At maturity, if the underlying index has appreciated in value, investors will receive the stated principal amount of their investment plus leveraged upside performance of the underlying index, subject to a maximum payment at maturity. If the underlying index has depreciated in value but by no more than 15%, investors will receive the stated principal amount of their investment plus an unleveraged positive return equal to the absolute value of the percentage decline, which will effectively be limited to a positive 15% return. However, if the underlying index has depreciated by more than 15% in value, investors will be negatively exposed to the full amount of the percentage decline in the underlying index and will lose 1% of the stated principal amount for every 1% of decline in the index value over the terms of the Trigger PLUS. The Trigger PLUS are for investors who seek an equity index-based return and who are willing to risk their principal and forgo current income and upside above the maximum payment at maturity in exchange for the leverage and absolute return features that in each case apply to a limited range of performance of the index. At maturity, an investor will receive an amount in cash that may be greater than, equal to, or less than the stated principal amount based upon the underlying index closing value on the valuation date. All payments on the Trigger PLUS are subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co. The investor may lose some or all of the stated principal amount of the Trigger PLUS.

FINAL TERMS

Key Investment Rationale

Trigger PLUS offer leveraged upside exposure to an underlying asset and the opportunity, through the absolute return feature, to earn a positive return at maturity for a limited range of negative performance of the underlying asset. At maturity, if the underlying asset has appreciated, investors will receive the stated principal amount of their investment plus leveraged upside performance of the underlying asset, subject to the maximum payment at maturity. At maturity, if the underlying asset has depreciated in value but by no more than 15%, investors will receive the stated principal amount of their investment plus an unleveraged positive return equal to the absolute value of the percentage decline in the underlying asset, which will effectively be limited to a positive 15% return. However, if the underlying asset has depreciated in value by more than 15%, investors will be negatively exposed to the full amount of the percentage decline in the underlying asset and will lose 1% of the stated principal amount for every 1% of decline, without any buffer. Investors may lose some or all of the stated principal amount of the Trigger PLUS. All payments on the Trigger PLUS are subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Leveraged Upside Performance The Trigger PLUS offer investors an opportunity to capture enhanced returns for a certain range of positive performance relative to a direct investment in the underlying index.
Absolute Return Feature The Trigger PLUS offer investors an opportunity to earn an unleveraged positive return if the final index value is less than or equal to the initial index value but is greater than or equal to the trigger level.
Upside Scenario if the Underlying Index Appreciates The final index value is greater than the initial index value and, at maturity, the Trigger PLUS pay the stated principal amount of $10 plus 200% of the index percent change, subject to the maximum payment at maturity of $14.30 (143.00% of the stated principal amount) per Trigger PLUS.
Absolute Return Scenario The final index value is less than or equal to the initial index value but is greater than or equal to the trigger level, which is 85% of the initial index value.  In this case, the Trigger PLUS pay a 1% positive return for each 1% negative return of the underlying index.  For example, if the final index value is 5% less than the initial index value, the Trigger PLUS will provide a total positive return of 5% at maturity.  The maximum return you may receive in this scenario is a positive 15% return at maturity.
Downside Scenario The final index value is less than the trigger level.  In this case, the Trigger PLUS pay an amount that is at least 15% less than the stated principal amount and this decrease will be by an amount that is proportionate to the percentage decline in the value of the index from the initial index value.  (Example: if the underlying index decreases in value by 30%, the Trigger PLUS will pay an amount that is less than the stated principal amount by 30%, or $7 per Trigger PLUS).  There is no minimum payment at maturity on the Trigger PLUS, and you could lose your entire investment.

How the Dual Directional Trigger PLUS Work

Payoff Diagram

The payoff diagram below illustrates the payment at maturity on the Trigger PLUS based on the following terms:

Stated principal amount: $10 per Trigger PLUS
Leverage factor: 200%
Trigger level: 85% of the initial index value
Maximum payment at maturity: $14.30 (143.00% of the stated principal amount) per Trigger PLUS

 

Dual Directional Trigger PLUS Payoff Diagram

How it works

§Upside Scenario. If the final index value is greater than the initial index value, for each $10 principal amount Trigger PLUS investors will receive the $10 stated principal amount plus 200% of the appreciation of the underlying index over the term of the Trigger PLUS, subject to the maximum payment at maturity. Under the terms of the Trigger PLUS, an investor will realize the maximum payment at maturity at a final index value of 121.50% of the initial index value.
§For example, if the underlying index appreciates 5%, investors will receive a 10% return, or $11.00 per Trigger PLUS.
§Absolute Return Scenario. If the final index value is less than or equal to the initial index value but is greater than or equal to the trigger level, investors will receive a 1% positive return on the Trigger PLUS for each 1% negative return of the underlying index.
§For example, if the underlying index depreciates 5%, investors will receive a 5% return, or $10.50 per Trigger PLUS.
§The maximum return you may receive in this scenario is a positive 15% return at maturity.
§Downside Scenario. If the final index value is less than the trigger level, investors will receive an amount that is significantly less than the stated principal amount by an amount proportionate to the percentage decrease of the final index value from the initial index value. This amount will be less than 85% of the stated principal amount per Trigger PLUS. There is no minimum payment at maturity on the Trigger PLUS.
§For example, if the underlying index depreciates 50%, investors will lose 50% of their principal and receive only $5 per Trigger PLUS at maturity, or 50% of the stated principal amount.

The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the Trigger PLUS shown above apply only if you hold the Trigger PLUS for their entire term. These hypotheticals do not reflect 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.

Risk Factors

The following is a non-exhaustive list of certain key risk factors for investors in the Trigger PLUS. For further discussion of these and other risks, you should read the sections entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page PS-17 of the accompanying product supplement no. MS-1-III. We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers in connection with your investment in the Trigger PLUS.

§The Trigger PLUS do not pay interest or guarantee return of any principal and your investment in the Trigger PLUS may result in a loss. The terms of the Trigger PLUS differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that the Trigger PLUS do not pay interest or guarantee the payment of any principal amount at maturity. If the final index value is less than the trigger level (which is 85% of the initial index value), the absolute return feature will no longer be available and the payment at maturity will be an amount in cash that is at least 15% less than the stated principal amount of each Trigger PLUS, and this decrease will be by an amount proportionate to the decrease in the value of the underlying index and may be zero. There is no minimum payment at maturity on the Trigger PLUS, and, accordingly, you could lose your entire initial investment in the Trigger PLUS.
§The appreciation potential of the Trigger PLUS is limited by the maximum payment at maturity. The appreciation potential of Trigger PLUS is limited by the maximum payment at maturity of $14.30 (143.00% of the stated principal amount) per Trigger PLUS. Although the leverage factor provides 200% exposure to any increase in the final index value as compared to the initial index value on the valuation date, because the maximum payment at maturity will be limited to 143.00% of the stated principal amount for the Trigger PLUS, any increase in the final index value by more than 21.50% will not further increase the return on the Trigger PLUS.
§Your maximum downside gain on the Trigger PLUS is limited by the trigger level. — If the final index value is less than or equal to the initial index value and greater than or equal to the trigger level, you will receive at maturity $10 plus a return equal to the absolute index return, which will reflect a 1% positive return for each 1% negative return on the underlying index, subject to an effective limit of 15%.  Because you will not receive a positive return if the index has depreciated below the trigger level, your maximum downside payment will be $11.00 per $10.00 stated principal amount Trigger PLUS.
§The Trigger PLUS are subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co., and any actual or anticipated changes to our credit ratings or credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the Trigger PLUS. Investors are dependent on JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s ability to pay all amounts due on the Trigger PLUS. Any actual or anticipated decline in our credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads determined by the market for taking our credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the Trigger PLUS. If we were to default on our payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the Trigger PLUS and you could lose your entire investment.
§Economic interests of the issuer, the calculation agent, the agent of the offering of the Trigger PLUS and other affiliates of the issuer may be different from those of investors. We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Trigger PLUS, including acting as calculation agent and as an agent of the offering of the Trigger PLUS, hedging our obligations under the Trigger PLUS and making the assumptions used to determine the pricing of the Trigger PLUS and the estimated value of the Trigger PLUS, which we refer to as JPMS’s estimated value. In performing these duties, our 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 Trigger PLUS. The calculation agent has determined the initial index value, will determine the final index value and will calculate the amount of payment you will receive at maturity, if any. Determinations made by the calculation agent, including with respect to the occurrence or non-occurrence of market disruption events, the selection of a successor to the underlying index or calculation of the final index value in the event of a discontinuance or material change in method of calculation of the underlying index, may affect the payment to you at maturity. Moreover, our business activities, including hedging and trading activities, could cause our economic interests to be adverse to yours and could adversely affect any payment on the Trigger PLUS and the value of the Trigger PLUS. It is possible that hedging or trading activities of ours or our affiliates in connection with the Trigger PLUS could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the Trigger PLUS declines. Please refer to “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the PLUS Generally” in the accompanying product supplement no. MS-1-III for additional information about these risks.
§The benefit provided by the trigger level may terminate on the valuation date. If the final index value is less than the trigger level, the benefit provided by the trigger level will terminate and you will be fully exposed to any depreciation of the underlying index. The final index value will be determined based on the index closing value on a single day near the end of the term of the Trigger PLUS. In addition, the index closing value at the maturity date or at other times during the term of the Trigger PLUS could be at a level not less than the trigger level. This difference could be particularly large if there is a significant decrease in

June 2014

the index closing value during the later portion of the term of the Trigger PLUS or if there is significant volatility in the index closing value during the term of the Trigger PLUS, especially on dates near the valuation date.

§JPMS’s estimated value of the Trigger PLUS is lower than the original issue price (price to public) of the Trigger PLUS. JPMS’s estimated value is only an estimate using several factors. The original issue price of the Trigger PLUS exceeds JPMS’s estimated value because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the Trigger PLUS are included in the original issue price of the Trigger PLUS. 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 Trigger PLUS and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the Trigger PLUS. See “Additional Information about the Trigger PLUS — JPMS’s estimated value of the Trigger PLUS” in this document.
§JPMS’s estimated value does not represent future values of the Trigger PLUS and may differ from others’ estimates. JPMS’s estimated value of the Trigger PLUS is determined by reference to JPMS’s internal pricing models. This estimated value is based on market conditions and other relevant factors existing at the time of pricing and JPMS’s assumptions about market parameters, which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors. Different pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations for Trigger PLUS that are greater than or less than JPMS’s estimated value. 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 Trigger PLUS could change significantly based on, among other things, changes in market conditions, our creditworthiness, interest rate movements and other relevant factors, which may impact the price, if any, at which JPMS would be willing to buy Trigger PLUS from you in secondary market transactions. See “Additional Information about the Trigger PLUS — JPMS’s estimated value of the Trigger PLUS” in this document.
§JPMS’s estimated value is not determined by reference to credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. The internal funding rate used in the determination of JPMS’s estimated value generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. The discount is based on, among other things, our view of the funding value of the Trigger PLUS as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the Trigger PLUS in comparison to those costs for our conventional fixed-rate debt. If JPMS were to use the interest rate implied by our conventional fixed-rate credit spreads, we would expect the economic terms of the Trigger PLUS to be more favorable to you. In addition, JPMS’s estimated value might be lower if it were based on the interest rate implied by our conventional fixed-rate credit spreads. Consequently, our use of an internal funding rate would have an adverse effect on the terms of the Trigger PLUS and any secondary market prices of the Trigger PLUS. See “Additional Information about the Trigger PLUS — JPMS’s estimated value of the Trigger PLUS” in this document.
§The value of the Trigger PLUS as published by JPMS (and which may be reflected on customer account statements) may be higher than JPMS’s then-current estimated value of the Trigger PLUS for a limited time period. We generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the Trigger PLUS will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your Trigger PLUS 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 and our secondary market credit spreads for structured debt issuances. See “Additional Information about the Trigger PLUS — Secondary market prices of the Trigger PLUS” in this document for additional information relating to this initial period. Accordingly, the estimated value of your Trigger PLUS during this initial period may be lower than the value of the Trigger PLUS as published by JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer account statements).
§Secondary market prices of the Trigger PLUS will likely be lower than the original issue price of the Trigger PLUS. Any secondary market prices of the Trigger PLUS will likely be lower than the original issue price of the Trigger PLUS because, among other things, secondary market prices take into account our secondary market credit spreads for structured debt issuances and, also, because secondary market prices (a) exclude selling commissions and (b) may exclude projected hedging profits, if any, and estimated hedging costs that are included in the original issue price of the Trigger PLUS. As a result, the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy Trigger PLUS 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. See the immediately following risk factor for information about additional factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the Trigger PLUS.

The PLUS are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your Trigger PLUS to maturity. See “— Secondary trading may be limited” below.

§Secondary market prices of the Trigger PLUS will be impacted by many economic and market factors.  The secondary market price of the Trigger PLUS 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 index closing value, including:
oany actual or potential change in our creditworthiness or credit spreads;
ocustomary bid-ask spreads for similarly sized trades;
osecondary market credit spreads for structured debt issuances;
othe actual and expected volatility of the underlying index;
odividend rates on the equity securities included in the underlying index;
othe time to maturity of the Trigger PLUS;
ointerest and yield rates in the market generally;
othe exchange rates and the volatility of the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and each of the currencies in which the equity securities included in the underlying index trade and the correlation among those rates and the levels of the underlying index; and
oa 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 Trigger PLUS, which may also be reflected on customer account statements. This price may be different (higher or lower) than the price of the Trigger PLUS, if any, at which JPMS may be willing to purchase your Trigger PLUS in the secondary market.

§The amount payable on the Trigger PLUS is not linked to the value of the underlying index at any time other than the valuation date.  The final index value will be based on the index closing value on the valuation date, subject to adjustment for non-trading days and certain market disruption events.  Even if the value of the underlying index appreciates prior to the valuation date but then drops to or below the trigger level by the valuation date, the payment at maturity will be less, and may be significantly less, than it would have been had the payment at maturity been linked to the value of the underlying index prior to such drop.  Although the actual value of the underlying index on the stated maturity date or at other times during the term of the Trigger PLUS may be higher than the final index value, the payment at maturity will be based solely on the index closing value on the valuation date.
§Investing in the Trigger PLUS is not equivalent to investing in the underlying index. Investing in the Trigger PLUS is not equivalent to investing in the underlying index or its component stocks. Investors in the Trigger PLUS will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the stocks that constitute the underlying index.
§Adjustments to the underlying index could adversely affect the value of the Trigger PLUS. The underlying index publisher may discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of the underlying index at any time. In these circumstances, the calculation agent will have the sole discretion to substitute a successor index that is comparable to the discontinued underlying index and is not precluded from considering indices that are calculated and published by the calculation agent or any of its affiliates.
§The Trigger PLUS are subject to risks associated with securities issued by non-U.S. companies. The equity securities included in the EURO STOXX 50® Index have been issued by non-U.S. companies. Investments in Trigger PLUS linked to the value of such non-U.S. equity securities involve risks associated with the securities markets in the home countries of the issuers of those non-U.S. equity securities, including risks of volatility in those markets, governmental intervention in those markets and cross shareholdings in companies in certain countries. Also, there is generally less publicly available information about companies in some of these jurisdictions than there is about U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC, and generally non-U.S. companies are subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements and securities trading rules different from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies.
§The Trigger PLUS are not directly exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The value of your Trigger PLUS will not be adjusted for exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the currencies upon which the equity securities included in the EURO STOXX 50® Index are based, although

June 2014

any currency fluctuations could affect the performance of the EURO STOXX 50® Index. Therefore, if the applicable currencies appreciate or depreciate relative to the U.S. dollar over the term of the Trigger PLUS, you will not receive any additional payment or incur any reduction in any payment on the Trigger PLUS.

§Hedging and trading activities by the calculation agent and its affiliates could potentially affect the value of the Trigger PLUS. The hedging or trading activities of the issuer’s affiliates and of any other hedging counterparty with respect to the Trigger PLUS on or prior to the pricing date and prior to maturity could have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, the value of the underlying index and, as a result, could decrease the amount an investor may receive on the Trigger PLUS at maturity, if any. Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the pricing date could have affected the initial index value and the trigger level and, therefore, could potentially increase the level that the final index value must reach so that you do not suffer a loss on your initial investment in the Trigger PLUS. Additionally, these hedging or trading activities during the term of the Trigger PLUS, including on the valuation date, could adversely affect the final index value and, accordingly, the amount of cash an investor will receive at maturity, if any. It is possible that such hedging or trading activities could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the Trigger PLUS declines.
§Secondary trading may be limited. The Trigger PLUS will not be listed on a securities exchange. There may be little or no secondary market for the Trigger PLUS. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the Trigger PLUS easily. JPMS may act as a market maker for the Trigger PLUS, but is not required to do so. Because we do not expect that other market makers will participate significantly in the secondary market for the Trigger PLUS, the price at which you may be able to trade your Trigger PLUS is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which JPMS is willing to buy the Trigger PLUS. If at any time JPMS or another agent does not act as a market maker, it is likely that there would be little or no secondary market for the Trigger PLUS.
§The tax consequences of an investment in the Trigger PLUS are uncertain. There is no direct legal authority as to the proper U.S. federal income tax characterization of the Trigger PLUS, and we do not intend to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). The IRS might not accept, and a court might not uphold, the treatment of the Trigger PLUS described in “Additional Information About the Trigger PLUS―Additional Provisions―Tax considerations” in this document and in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. MS-1-III. If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment for the Trigger PLUS, the timing and character of any income or loss on the Trigger PLUS could differ materially and adversely from our description herein. 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 Trigger PLUS, possibly with retroactive effect. You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. MS-1-III and consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Trigger PLUS, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by this notice.

Additional Information about the Trigger PLUS

Please read this information in conjunction with the summary terms on the front cover of this document.

Additional Provisions:
Postponement of maturity date: If the scheduled maturity date is not a business day, then the maturity date will be the following business day.  If the scheduled valuation date is not a trading day or if a market disruption event occurs on that day so that the valuation date as postponed falls less than three business days prior to the scheduled maturity date, the maturity date of the Trigger PLUS will be postponed until the third business day following the valuation date as postponed.
Minimum ticketing size: $1,000 / 100 Trigger PLUS
JPMS’s estimated value of the Trigger PLUS:

JPMS’s estimated value of the Trigger PLUS set forth on the cover of this document 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 Trigger PLUS, valued using our internal funding rate for structured debt described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the Trigger PLUS. JPMS’s estimated value does not represent a minimum price at which JPMS would be willing to buy your Trigger PLUS in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The internal funding rate used in the determination of JPMS’s estimated value generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. For additional information, see “Risk Factors — JPMS’s estimated value is not determined by reference to credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt.” The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the Trigger PLUS is derived from JPMS’s internal pricing models. 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, JPMS’s estimated value of the Trigger PLUS on the pricing date is based on market conditions and other relevant factors and assumptions existing at that time. See “Risk Factors — JPMS’s estimated value does not represent

future values of the Trigger PLUS and may differ from others’ estimates.”

JPMS’s estimated value of the Trigger PLUS is lower than the original issue price of the Trigger PLUS because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the Trigger PLUS are included in the original issue price of the Trigger PLUS. These costs include the selling commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the Trigger PLUS and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the Trigger PLUS. 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. We or one or more of our affiliates will retain any profits realized in hedging our obligations under the Trigger PLUS. See “Risk Factors — JPMS’s estimated value of the Trigger PLUS is lower than the original issue price (price to public) of the Trigger PLUS” in this document.

Secondary market prices of the Trigger PLUS: For information about factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the Trigger PLUS, see “Risk Factors — Secondary market prices of the Trigger PLUS will be impacted by many economic and market factors” in this document.  In addition, we generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the Trigger PLUS will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your Trigger PLUS by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period that is intended to be the shorter of six months and one-half of the stated term of the Trigger PLUS.  The length of any such initial period reflects the structure of the Trigger PLUS, whether our affiliates expect to earn a profit in connection with our hedging activities, the estimated costs of hedging the Trigger PLUS and when these costs are incurred, as determined by JPMS.  See “Risk Factors — The value of the Trigger PLUS as published by JPMS (and which may be reflected on customer account statements) may be higher than JPMS’s then-current estimated value of the Trigger PLUS for a limited time period.”
Supplemental notice to investors: The Trigger PLUS may cause you to become subject to short position disclosure requirements if they confer a financial advantage on you in the event of a decrease in the price or value of any relevant shares under Regulation (EU) No. 236/2012 (the “Short Selling Regulation”). This will occur if the short position represented by the short exposure provided by the Trigger PLUS, when combined with other long and short positions you may hold, causes you to cross a relevant net short position disclosure threshold under the Short Selling Regulation. It is your responsibility to monitor your net short positions and to comply with the obligations applicable to you under the Short Selling Regulation. You should consult with your own legal and regulatory advisers regarding the Trigger PLUS should you have any concerns about these requirements.
Tax considerations:

You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. MS-1-III. 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 the Trigger PLUS.

Based on current market conditions, in the opinion of our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, your Trigger PLUS should be treated as “open transactions” that are not debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming this treatment is respected, the gain or loss on your Trigger PLUS should be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if you hold your Trigger PLUS for more than a year, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of Trigger PLUS at the issue price. However, the IRS or a court may not respect this treatment of the Trigger PLUS, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the Trigger PLUS could be materially and adversely 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; 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 Trigger PLUS, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Trigger PLUS, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by this notice.

Validity of the Trigger PLUS: In the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as our special products counsel, when the Trigger PLUS offered by this pricing supplement have been executed and issued by us and authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the indenture, and delivered against payment as contemplated herein, such Trigger PLUS will be our valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability (including, without limitation, concepts of good faith, fair dealing and the lack of bad faith), provided that such counsel expresses no opinion as to the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the federal laws of the United States of America, the laws of the State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery of the indenture and its authentication of the Trigger PLUS and the validity, binding nature and enforceability of the indenture with respect to the trustee, all as stated in the letter of such counsel dated March 29, 2012, which was filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8- K by us on March 29, 2012.
