Contingent Coupon Callable Yield Notes Linked to the Least Performing of the Russell 2000® Index, the EURO STOXX 50® Index and the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF due April 28, 2016
|
|
·
|
The Notes are designed for investors who seek a Contingent Interest Payment with respect to each Observation Date for which the closing level of each of the Russell 2000® Index, the EURO STOXX 50® Index and the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF is greater than or equal to 75% of its Initial Level, which we refer to as a Coupon Barrier Level. Investors should be willing to forgo fixed interest and dividend payments, in exchange for the opportunity to receive Contingent Interest Payments.
|
|
·
|
Investors in the Notes should be willing to accept the risk of losing some or all of their principal if a Knock-In Event (as defined below) has occurred and the risk that no Contingent Interest Payment may be made with respect to some or all Observation Dates. Any payment on the Notes is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co.
|
|
·
|
The Notes may be redeemed early, in whole but not in part, at our option on any of the Contingent Interest Payment Dates (other than the final Contingent Interest Payment Date). The earliest date on which the Notes may be redeemed early is November 3, 2014.
|
|
·
|
Unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. maturing April 28, 2016†
|
|
·
|
The payment at maturity is not linked to a basket composed of the Underlyings. The payment at maturity is linked to the performance of each of the Underlyings individually, as described below.
|
|
·
|
Minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof
|
|
·
|
The terms of the Notes as set forth in “Key Terms” below, to the extent they differ from or conflict with those set forth in the accompanying product supplement no. 29-I, supersede the terms set forth in product supplement no. 29-I. In particular, the Notes will be subject to early redemption at our option as described under “Key Terms — Early Redemption” below and will not be subject to an automatic call.
|
Underlyings:
|
The Russell 2000® Index (Bloomberg ticker: RTY) and the EURO STOXX 50® Index (Bloomberg ticker: SX5E) (each, an “Index” and collectively, the “Indices”) and the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF (Bloomberg ticker: EFA) (the “Fund”) (each of the Indices and the Fund, an “Underlying” and collectively, the “Underlyings”)
|
Contingent Interest Payments:
|
If the Notes have not been previously redeemed early and the closing level of each Underlying on any Observation Date is greater than or equal to its Coupon Barrier Level, you will receive on the applicable Contingent Interest Payment Date for each $1,000 principal amount Note a Contingent Interest Payment equal to at least $22.50* (equivalent to an interest rate of at least 9.00%* per annum, payable at a rate of at least 2.25%* per quarter).
If the closing level of any Underlying on any Observation Date is less than its Coupon Barrier Level, no Contingent Interest Payment will be made with respect to that Observation Date.
|
Coupon Barrier Level / Knock-In Level:
|
With respect to each Underlying, an amount that represents 75% of its Initial Level (in the case of the Fund, subject to adjustments)
|
Contingent Interest Rate:
|
At least 9.00%* per annum, payable at a rate of at least 2.25%* per quarter, if applicable
*The actual Contingent Interest Rate will be provided in the pricing supplement and will not be less than 9.00% per annum.
|
Early Redemption:
|
We, at our election, may redeem the Notes early, in whole but not in part, on any of the Contingent Interest Payment Dates (other than the final Contingent Interest Payment Date) at a price for each $1,000 principal amount Note equal to $1,000 plus any accrued and unpaid Contingent Interest Payment. If we intend to redeem your Notes early, we will deliver notice to The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, at least five business days before the applicable Contingent Interest Payment Dates on which the Notes are redeemed early.
|
Payment at Maturity:
|
If the Notes have not been redeemed early and a Knock-In Event has not occurred, you will receive a cash payment at maturity, for each $1,000 principal amount Note, equal to (a) $1,000 plus (b) the Contingent Interest Payment applicable to the Valuation Date.
If the Notes have not been redeemed early and a Knock-In Event has occurred, at maturity you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your Notes for every 1% that the Final Level of the Least Performing Underlying is less than its Initial Level. Under these circumstances, your payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount Note will be calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × Least Performing Underlying Return)
If the Notes have not been redeemed early and a Knock-In Event has occurred, you will lose more than 25% of your principal amount and could lose up to the entire principal amount of your Notes at maturity.
|
Knock-In Event:
|
A Knock-In Event occurs if the Final Level (i.e., the closing level on the Valuation Date) of any Underlying is less than its Knock-In Level.

QUARTERLY CONTINGENT INTEREST PAYMENTS — The Notes offer the potential to earn a Contingent Interest Payment in connection with each quarterly Observation Date of at least $22.50* per $1,000 principal amount Note (equivalent to an interest rate of at least 9.00%* per annum, payable at a rate of at least 2.25%* per quarter). If the Notes have not been redeemed early and the closing level of each Underlying on any Observation Date is greater than or equal to its Coupon Barrier Level, you will receive a Contingent Interest Payment on the applicable Contingent Interest Payment Date. If the closing level of any Underlying on any Observation Date is less than its Coupon Barrier Level, no Contingent Interest Payment will be made with respect to that Observation Date. If payable, a Contingent Interest Payment will be made to the holders of record at the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the applicable Contingent Interest Payment Date. Because the Notes are our unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, payment of any amount on the Notes is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.
|
|
·
|
POTENTIAL EARLY EXIT AS A RESULT OF THE OPTIONAL EARLY REDEMPTION FEATURE — We, at our election, may redeem the Notes early, in whole but not in part, on any of the Contingent Interest Payment Dates (other than the final Contingent Interest Payment Date). If the Notes are redeemed early, you will receive $1,000 plus any accrued and unpaid Contingent Interest Payment for each $1,000 principal amount Note on the applicable Contingent Interest Payment Date on which the Notes are redeemed early.
|
|
·
|
THE NOTES DO NOT GUARANTEE THE RETURN OF YOUR PRINCIPAL IF THE NOTES HAVE NOT BEEN REDEEMED EARLY — If the Notes have not been redeemed early, we will pay you your principal back at maturity only if a Knock-In Event has not occurred. However, if the Notes have not been redeemed early and a Knock-In Event has occurred, you will lose more than 25% of your principal amount and could lose up to the entire principal amount of your Notes at maturity.
|
|
·
|
EXPOSURE TO EACH OF THE UNDERLYINGS — The return on the Notes is linked to the Least Performing Underlying, which will be any of the Russell 2000® Index, the EURO STOXX 50® Index or the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF.
|
|
·
|
TAX TREATMENT — You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 29-I, although for purposes of this offering, references therein to an automatic call should be read to refer to an early redemption. In determining our reporting responsibilities we intend to treat (i) the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons and (ii) any Contingent Interest Payments as ordinary income, as described in
|
JPMorgan Structured Investments —
|
TS-2
|
|
the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Tax Treatment as Prepaid Forward Contracts with Associated Contingent Coupons” in the accompanying product supplement no. 29-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 Internal Revenue Service (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 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 and 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 Notes, possibly with retroactive effect. You should 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.
|
|
·
|
YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS — The Notes do not guarantee any return of principal. If the Notes have not been redeemed early and a Knock-In Event has occurred, you will lose 1% of your principal amount at maturity for every 1% that the Final Level of the Least Performing Underlying is less than its Initial Level. Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose more than 25% of your principal amount and could lose up to the entire principal amount of your Notes at maturity.
|
|
·
|
THE NOTES DO NOT GUARANTEE THE PAYMENT OF INTEREST AND MAY NOT PAY ANY INTEREST AT ALL — The terms of the Notes differ from those of conventional debt securities in that, among other things, whether we pay interest is linked to the performance of each Underlying. If the Notes have not been redeemed early, we will make a Contingent Interest Payment with respect to an Observation Date only if the closing level of each Underlying on that Observation Date is greater than or equal to its Coupon Barrier Level. If the closing level of any Underlying on that Observation Date is less than its Coupon Barrier Level, no Contingent Interest Payment will be made with respect to that Observation Date, and the Contingent Interest Payment that would otherwise have been payable with respect to that Observation Date will not be accrued and subsequently paid. Accordingly, if the closing level of any Underlying on each Observation Date is less than its Coupon Barrier Level, you will not receive any interest payments over the term of the Notes.
|
|
·
|
CREDIT RISK OF JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. — The Notes are subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co., and our credit ratings and credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the Notes. Investors are dependent on JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s ability to pay all amounts due on the Notes. Any actual or potential change in our creditworthiness or credit spreads, as determined by the market for taking our credit risk, is likely to adversely affect the value of the Notes. If we 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.
|
|
·
|
THE OPTIONAL EARLY REDEMPTION FEATURE MAY FORCE A POTENTIAL EARLY EXIT — If the Notes are redeemed early, the amount of Contingent Interest Payments made on the Notes may be less than the amount of Contingent Interest Payments that might have been payable if the Notes were held to maturity, and, for each $1,000
|
JPMorgan Structured Investments —
|
TS-3
|
|
principal amount Note, you will receive $1,000 plus any accrued and unpaid Contingent Interest Payment on the applicable Contingent Interest Payment Date on which the Notes are redeemed early.
|
|
·
|
REINVESTMENT RISK — If your Notes are redeemed early, the term of the Notes may be reduced to as short as approximately three months and you will not receive any Contingent Interest Payments after the applicable Contingent Interest Payment Date. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the Notes at a comparable return and/or with a comparable interest rate for a similar level of risk in the event the Notes are redeemed early prior to the Maturity Date.
|
|
·
|
THE APPRECIATION POTENTIAL OF THE NOTES IS LIMITED, AND YOU WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY APPRECIATION IN THE VALUE OF ANY UNDERLYING — The appreciation potential of the Notes is limited to the sum of any Contingent Interest Payments that may be paid over the term of the Notes, regardless of any appreciation in the value of any Underlying, which may be significant. You will not participate in any appreciation in the value of any Underlying. Accordingly, the return on the Notes may be significantly less than the return on a direct investment in any Underlying during the term of the Notes.
|
|
·
|
POTENTIAL CONFLICTS — We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Notes, including acting as calculation agent and as an agent of the offering of the Notes, 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, 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 Notes. In addition, 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 Notes and the value of 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 the Notes Generally” in the accompanying product supplement no. 29-I for additional information about these risks.
|
|
·
|
YOU ARE EXPOSED TO THE RISK OF DECLINE IN THE VALUE OF EACH UNDERLYING — Your return on the Notes and your payment at maturity, if any, is not linked to a basket consisting of the Underlyings. If the Notes have not been redeemed early, your payment at maturity is contingent upon the performance of each individual Underlying such that you will be equally exposed to the risks related to any of the Underlyings. The performance of the Underlyings may not be correlated. Poor performance by any of the Underlyings over the term of the Notes may negatively affect whether you will receive a Contingent Interest Payment on any Contingent Interest Payment Date and your payment at maturity and will not be offset or mitigated by positive performance by any other Underlying. Accordingly, your investment is subject to the risk of decline in the value of each Underlying.
|
|
·
|
THE BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THE KNOCK-IN LEVEL MAY TERMINATE ON THE VALUATION DATE — If the Final Level of any Underlying is less than its Knock-In Level (i.e., a Knock-In Event occurs) and the Notes have not been redeemed early, the benefit provided by the Knock-In Level will terminate and you will be fully exposed to any depreciation in the Least Performing Underlying. The Final Level of each Underlying will be determined based on the applicable closing level on a single day near the end of the term of the Notes. In addition, the closing level of an Underlying at other times during the term of the Notes could be greater than or equal to its Knock-In Level. This difference could be particularly large if there is a significant decrease in the closing level of any or all of the Underlyings during the later portion of the term of the Notes or if there is significant volatility in the closing level of any or all of the Underlyings during the term of the Notes, especially on dates near the Valuation Date.
|
|
·
|
YOUR PAYMENT AT MATURITY MAY BE DETERMINED BY THE LEAST PERFORMING UNDERLYING — Because the payment at maturity will be determined based on the performance of the Least Performing Underlying, you will not benefit from the performance of any other Underlying. Accordingly, if the Notes have not been redeemed early and a Knock-In Event has occurred, you will lose some or all of your principal amount at maturity, even if the Final Level of any other Underlying is greater than or equal to its Initial Level.
|
|
·
|
JPMS’S ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES WILL BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE (PRICE TO PUBLIC) OF THE NOTES — JPMS’s estimated value is only an estimate using several factors. The original issue price of the Notes will exceed JPMS’s estimated value because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the Notes are included in the original issue price of the Notes. 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 Notes and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the Notes. See “JPMS’s Estimated Value of the Notes” in this term sheet.
|
|
·
|
JPMS’S ESTIMATED VALUE DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE VALUES OF THE NOTES AND MAY DIFFER FROM OTHERS’ ESTIMATES — JPMS’s estimated value of the Notes is determined by reference to JPMS’s internal pricing models when the terms of the Notes are set. This estimated value is based on market conditions and other relevant factors existing at that time 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 Notes 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 Notes 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 Notes from you in secondary market transactions. See “JPMS’s Estimated Value of the Notes” in this term sheet.
|
JPMorgan Structured Investments —
|
TS-4
|
|
·
|
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 Notes as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the Notes 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 Notes to be more favorable to you. Consequently, our use of an internal funding rate would have an adverse effect on the terms of the Notes and any secondary market prices of the Notes. See “JPMS’s Estimated Value of the Notes” in this term sheet.
|
|
·
|
THE VALUE OF THE NOTES 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 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. These costs can include projected hedging profits, if any, and, in some circumstances, estimated hedging costs and our secondary market credit spreads for structured debt issuances. See “Secondary Market Prices of the Notes” in this term sheet 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 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 Notes. As a result, the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy 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. See the immediately following risk consideration for information about additional factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the Notes.
|
|
·
|
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 selling commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, estimated hedging costs and the levels of the Underlyings, including:
|
|
·
|
any actual or potential change in our creditworthiness or credit spreads;
|
|
·
|
customary bid-ask spreads for similarly sized trades;
|
|
·
|
secondary market credit spreads for structured debt issuances;
|
|
·
|
the actual and expected volatility in the levels of the Underlyings;
|
|
·
|
the time to maturity of the Notes;
|
|
·
|
whether the closing level of any Underlying has been, or is expected to be, less than its Coupon Barrier Level on any Observation Date and whether a Knock-In Event is expected to occur;
|
|
·
|
the optional early redemption feature and whether we are expected to redeem the Notes early, which is likely to limit the value of the Notes;
|
|
·
|
the dividend rates on the Fund and the equity securities included in or held by the Underlyings;
|
|
·
|
the actual and expected positive or negative correlation between the Underlyings, or the actual or expected absence of any such correlation;
|
|
·
|
interest and yield rates in the market generally;
|
|
·
|
the 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 or held by the EURO STOXX 50® Index and the Fund trade and the correlation among those rates and the levels of the EURO STOXX 50® Index and the Fund;
|
|
·
|
the occurrence of certain events to the Fund that may or may not require an adjustment to the Share Adjustment Factor; and
|
|
·
|
a variety of other economic, financial, political, regulatory and judicial events.
|
|
·
|
NO DIVIDENDS OR VOTING RIGHTS — As a holder of the Notes, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of shares of the Fund or the securities included in or held by the Underlyings would have.
|
|
·
|
VOLATILITY RISK — Greater expected volatility with respect to an Underlying indicates a greater likelihood as of the Pricing Date that the closing level of that Underlying could be less than its Coupon Barrier Level on an Observation Date and/or that a Knock-In Event could occur. An Underlying’s volatility, however, can change significantly over the term of the Notes. The closing level of an Underlying could fall sharply on any day during the term of the Notes, which could result in your not receiving any Contingent Interest Payment or a significant loss of principal, or both.
|
|
·
|
AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES IS SUBJECT TO RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SMALL CAPITALIZATION STOCKS WITH RESPECT TO THE RUSSELL 2000® INDEX — The stocks that constitute the Russell 2000® Index
|
JPMorgan Structured Investments —
|
TS-5
|
|
are issued by companies with relatively small market capitalization. The stock prices of smaller companies may be more volatile than stock prices of large capitalization companies. 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.
|
|
·
|
THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FUND — Although the shares of the Fund are listed for trading on NYSE Arca and a number of similar products have been traded on NYSE Arca and other securities exchanges for varying periods of time, there is no assurance that an active trading market will continue for the shares of the Fund or that there will be liquidity in the trading market. The Fund is subject to management risk, which is the risk that the investment strategies of the 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 price of the shares of the Fund and, consequently, the value of the Notes.
|
|
·
|
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE FUND AND THE UNDERLYING INDEX — The Fund does not fully replicate the Underlying Index and may hold securities not included in the Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of the Fund will reflect additional transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the Underlying Index. All of these factors may lead to a lack of correlation between the Fund and the Underlying Index. In addition, corporate actions with respect to the equity securities held by the Fund (such as mergers and spin-offs) may impact the variance between the Fund and the Underlying Index. Finally, because the shares of the Fund are traded on NYSE Arca and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the market value of one share of the Fund may differ from the net asset value per share of the Fund. For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of the Fund may not correlate with the performance of the Underlying Index.
|
|
·
|
NON-U.S. SECURITIES RISK WITH RESPECT TO THE EURO STOXX 50® INDEX AND THE FUND — The equity securities included in or held by the EURO STOXX 50® Index and the Fund 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 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.
|
|
·
|
THE NOTES ARE SUBJECT TO CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK WITH RESPECT TO THE FUND — Because the prices of the equity securities held by the Fund are converted into U.S. dollars for purposes of calculating the net asset value of the Fund, holders of the Notes will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the currencies in which the equity securities held by the Fund trade. Your net exposure will depend on the extent to which those currencies strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar and the relative weight of equity securities held by the Fund denominated in each of those currencies. If, taking into account the relevant weighting, the U.S. dollar strengthens against those currencies, the price of the Fund will be adversely affected and any payment on the Notes may be reduced. Of particular importance to potential currency exchange risk are:
|
|
·
|
existing and expected rates of inflation;
|
|
·
|
existing and expected interest rate levels;
|
|
·
|
the balance of payments in the countries issuing those currencies and the United States and between each country and its major trading partners;
|
|
·
|
political, civil or military unrest in the countries issuing those currencies and the United States; and
|
|

NO DIRECT EXPOSURE TO FLUCTUATIONS IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES WITH RESPECT TO THE EURO STOXX 50® INDEX — The value of your Notes will not be adjusted for exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which the equity securities included in the EURO STOXX 50® Index are denominated, although 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 Notes, you will not receive any additional payment or incur any reduction in any payment on the Notes.

LACK OF LIQUIDITY — The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. JPMS intends to offer to purchase the Notes in the secondary market but is not required to do so. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the Notes easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the Notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your Notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which JPMS is willing to buy the Notes.
