Proposal #2: Advisory resolution to approve executive compensation
The Board recommends you vote FOR
the executive compensation program
Mr. Pinto, who is based in the U.K., received a fixed allowance of $7,635,000 paid in British pound sterling and a salary of £475,000.
1. Strong performance
We
continued
to
deliver
strong
multi-year
financial
performance,
invest
in
our
future,
strengthen
our
risk
and
control
environment,
reinforce
the
importance
of
our
culture
and
values,
deliver
on
our
long-standing
commitment
to
serve
our
customers,
employees
and
communities,
and
conduct
business
in
a
responsible
way
to
drive
inclusive
growth.
2. Disciplined performance assessment to determine pay
The CMDC uses a balanced approach to determine annual compensation by assessing performance against four broad performance categories over a sustained period of time.
A material portion of Operating Committee compensation is delivered in the form of at-risk performance share units (“PSUs”), reinforcing accountability and alignment with
shareholder interests by linking the ultimate payout to pre-established absolute and relative goals.
3. Sound pay practices
We believe our compensation philosophy promotes an equitable and well-governed approach to compensation, including pay-for-performance practices that attract and retain
top talent, are responsive to and aligned with shareholders, and encourage a shared success culture in support of our business principles.
4. Pay is aligned with performance
CEO pay is strongly aligned to the Firm’s short-, medium-
and long-term performance, with approximately 83% of the CEO’s variable pay deferred into equity, of which 100% is
in at-risk PSUs. Other NEO pay is also strongly aligned to Firm and Line-of-Business (“LOB”) performance, with a majority of their variable pay deferred into equity, of which
50% is in at-risk PSUs.
5. Rigorous accountability and recovery provisions
Our executive compensation program is designed to hold executives accountable, when appropriate, for meaningful actions or issues that negatively impact business
performance or the Firm’s reputation in current or future years.
In response to last year’s 93% Say-on-Pay support and positive shareholder feedback, the Compensation & Management Development Committee
(“CMDC”) maintained the key features of our compensation program.
We believe shareholders should consider five key factors in their evaluation of this year’s proposal:

Payout Grid
Payout under the PSU plan is calculated annually over the three-year performance period based on absolute and relative ROTCE per
the formulaic payout grid below. Absolute and relative performance metrics help promote a reasonable outcome for both
shareholders and participants. Annual payout calculations prevent excessive weightings attributable to a single year within the three-
year performance period. For the 2018 PSU award, the CMDC set the maximum payout at an ROTCE level of 18% (or greater),
compared to 14% in 2015 and 2016 and 17% in 2017.

Companies
In determining companies to include in the relative ROTCE scale, the CMDC selected competitors with business activities that overlap
with at least 30% of the Firm’s revenue mix. These are unchanged from prior years and include Bank of America, Barclays, Capital
One Financial, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, Morgan Stanley, UBS and Wells Fargo.
Narrow
Adjustment
Provision
The CMDC may make adjustments (up or down) to maintain the intended economics of the award in light of changed circumstances
(e.g., change in accounting rules/policies or changes in capital structure). The CMDC may also make additional downward
adjustments in relation to Mr. Pinto’s PSUs (see note 1 on page 52 of the 2019 Proxy Statement).

Determining absolute and relative PSU performance goals
Each year the CMDC sets the absolute ROTCE goal for that year’s award of PSUs by reviewing the Firm’s historical performance and a reasonable range of
possible net income and capital outcomes over the next three years. For the 2018 PSU award granted in January 2019, these outcomes were considered in
the context of (among other things) the expected impacts of: the TCJA; regulatory capital requirements; annual stress tests; interest rates; and the U.S. and
global economic environment, all of which affect the range of ROTCE outcomes in the medium-term.
Consistent with the Firm’s pay-for-performance philosophy, in setting the relative ROTCE performance goals, the CMDC determined that payout above target
for previously granted PSU awards should be limited to instances in which the Firm outperforms its competitors on a relative basis, with below target payout
occurring in instances of under performance. Achievement of median relative performance results in target payout (100%), which is consistent with peer
practices, and with what the CMDC believes is a reasonable outcome. Outstanding relative performance, which results in a payout of 150% is limited to the
Firm achieving a ROTCE in the top 25%, or top three, of the competitor group.

PSUs awarded for performance years 2015, 2016 and 2017
The Firm reported ROTCE of 13%, 12%, and 17% in 2016, 2017, and 2018 respectively, resulting in 1st Quartile relative performance and an expected
payout of 150% for each tranche of the 2015, 2016 and 2017 PSU awards referencing those years. In assessing the Firm’s 2017 and 2018 ROTCE
performance against the absolute goal established in the 2015 PSU award, the CMDC reviewed information related to the estimated impact of the
enactment of the TCJA on the Firm’s performance and determined no adjustment was required to the ultimate payout of that award in order to maintain its
intended economics. On March 25, 2019, the 2015 PSU award vested at 150%.
For additional detail, see 2019 Proxy Statement pages 38-77

The
Board
recommends
you
vote
FOR
ratification
of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC)
The members of the Audit Committee and the Board believe that continued retention of PwC as the Firm’s independent external
auditor is in the best interests of JPMorgan Chase and its shareholders
Engagement of independent registered public accounting firm
The Audit Committee annually reviews PwC’s qualifications, performance and independence in connection with its determination
as to whether to retain PwC. In conducting its review, the Audit Committee considers, among other factors:
The professional qualifications of PwC and that of the key members of the audit team
PwC’s performance on the Firm’s audit, including its professional skepticism and objectivity
The audit quality of PwC, including recent Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) reports, peer self-reviews,
and legal risks and significant proceedings affecting PwC
The independence of PwC
Audit committee annually reviews PwC
The Audit Committee assesses PwC’s independence throughout the year. This includes reviewing with PwC its practices for
maintaining independence
It is JPMorgan Chase’s policy not to use PwC for any other services other than audit, audit-related and tax services in certain
circumstances
In accordance with SEC rules and PwC policies, audit partners are subject to rotation requirements to limit the number of
consecutive years of service an individual partner may provide audit services to our Firm
The lead audit partner and quality review partner may provide services to our Firm for a maximum of five consecutive years
The current lead audit partner is expected to serve in this capacity through the end of the 2020 audit
The Board believes there are significant benefits to having an auditor with extensive history with the Firm, including: the high
quality of their audit work and accounting advice, their audit efficiency and effectiveness, and the time and expense that would be
avoided to onboard a new auditor

JPMorgan Chase already conducts periodic pay equity reviews that take into account factors that potentially impact pay.
Globally, women at the Firm are paid 99% of what men are paid, taking into account factors that potentially impact pay. This is
a more representative measure of comparable pay for similar work than a review focusing solely on median earnings of male
and female employees
We are committed to fairness in compensation practices for all employees. The report requested on the median pay gap is
primarily influenced by the representation of women at different levels of the organization and is not reflective of the Firm’s
commitment to diversity, expanding advancement opportunities for women and minorities, and fairness in compensation. We
do not believe it is a meaningful metric to present to shareholders
JPMorgan Chase is committed to diversity and inclusion best practices and devotes significant resources to programs, policies
and analyses that we believe have a greater impact than the proposed pay gap report
Request that the Firm report on the company’s global median pay gap between male and female employees
Proposal #4: Gender pay equity report
The
Board
recommends
you
vote
AGAINST
this
shareholder
proposal


Proposal #5: Enhance shareholder proxy access
The Board recommends you vote
AGAINST
this shareholder proposal
The Firm’s proxy access By-law strikes an appropriate balance between providing shareholders with meaningful access to the
right and protecting against potential abuse by shareholders whose interests are not aligned with the majority of long-term
shareholders
The By-law requiring that nominees receive at least 20% support to be eligible for re-nomination protects shareholders from
the expense and disruption of voting on repeat nominees who fail to garner significant shareholder support and provides
opportunity for shareholders to nominate other qualified candidates
The Firm’s By-law, including our re-nomination threshold, is aligned with current best practices
For additional detail, see 2019 Proxy Statement pages 88-89
Recommend that our Board amend its proxy access bylaw provisions so that a director candidate shall not need
to obtain a specific percentage vote in order to qualify as a shareholder proxy access director candidate

Proposal #6: Cumulative voting
The Board recommends you vote AGAINST
this shareholder proposal
One share, one vote best serves shareholder interests
Cumulative voting is inconsistent with majority voting for directors and increases the risk of disproportionate representation of
special interests
The Firm has strong corporate governance standards that promote long-term shareholder value
Because each director oversees the management of the Firm for the benefit of all shareholders, the Board believes that
changing the current voting procedures would not be in the best interests of all shareholders
For additional detail, see 2019 Proxy Statement pages 90-91
Recommend that our Board take the steps necessary to adopt cumulative voting

Notes
Notes on non-GAAP financial measures
1.
In
addition
to
analyzing
the
Firm’s
results
on
a
reported
basis,
management
reviews
Firmwide
results
on
a
“managed”
basis;
these
Firmwide
managed
basis
results
are
non-GAAP
financial
measures.
The
Firm
also
reviews
the results of the lines of business on a managed basis. The Firm’s definition of managed basis starts, in each case, with the reported U.S. GAAP results and includes certain reclassifications to present total net revenue for
the Firm (and each of the reportable business segments) on a fully taxable-equivalent basis. Accordingly, revenue from investments that receive tax credits and tax-exempt securities is presented in the managed results on
a basis comparable to taxable investments and securities. These non-GAAP financial measures allow management to assess the comparability of revenue year-to-year arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources.
The corresponding income tax impact related to tax-exempt items is recorded within income tax expense. These adjustments have no impact on net income as reported by the Firm as a whole or by the lines of business.
For a reconciliation of the Firm’s results from a reported to managed basis, see page 57 of the 2018 Form 10-K.
2.
TCE, ROTCE and TBVPS are each non-GAAP financial measures. TCE represents the Firm’s common stockholders’ equity (i.e., total stockholders’ equity less preferred stock) less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets
(other than mortgage servicing rights), net of related deferred tax liabilities. ROTCE measures the Firm’s net income applicable to common equity as a percentage of average TCE. TBVPS represents the Firm’s TCE at
period-end divided by common shares at period-end. TCE, ROTCE and TBVPS are utilized by the Firm, as well as investors and analysts, in assessing the Firm’s use of equity. The following tables provide reconciliations
and calculations of these measures for the periods presented.
Non-GAAP reconciliations
(a)
Represents deferred tax liabilities related to tax-deductible goodwill and to identifiable intangibles created
in nontaxable transactions, which are netted against goodwill and other intangibles when calculating
TCE.
(b)
Represents net income applicable to common equity / average common stockholders’ equity.
Notes on key performance measures
1.
The Basel III common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) ratio (which was fully phased-in effective January 1, 2019) is considered a key regulatory capital measure. This measure is used by management, bank regulators, investors and
analysts to assess and monitor the Firm’s capital position. For additional information on these measures, see Capital Risk Management on pages 85-94 of the 2018 Form 10-K.
2.
Core loans represent loans considered central to the Firm’s ongoing businesses; and exclude loans classified as trading assets, runoff portfolios, discontinued portfolios and portfolios the Firm has an intent to exit. Core
loans is a measure utilized by the Firm and its investors and analysts in assessing actual growth in the loan portfolio.
3.
On December 22, 2017, the TCJA was signed into law. The Firm’s results for the year ended December 31, 2017, included a $2.4 billion decrease to net income, as a result of the enactment of the TCJA, as well as a legal
benefit of $406 million (after-tax) related to a settlement with the FDIC receivership for Washington Mutual and with Deutsche Bank as trustee to certain Washington Mutual trusts. Adjusted ROTCE and adjusted earnings
per share, which exclude the impact of these significant items, are each non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes these measures help investors understand the effect of these items on reported results.
(c)
Represents net income applicable to common equity / average TCE.
(d)
Represents common stockholders’ equity at period-end / common shares at period-end.
(e)
Represents TCE at period-end / common shares at period-end.

Forward-looking statements
These Proxy Supplemental Materials contain forward-looking statements. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do
not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements often use words such as “anticipate,” “target,” “expect,”
“estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “believe” or other words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements provide JPMorgan Chase

and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties could cause the Firm’s actual results to differ
materially from those set forth in such forward-looking statements. Certain of such risks and uncertainties are described in JPMorgan
Chase’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. JPMorgan Chase does not undertake to update the
forward-looking statements included in these Proxy Supplemental Materials to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that may
arise after the date the forward-looking statements were made.
This document is only a summary of certain information in JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s 2019 Proxy Statement, and shareholders should
