Montant de l'émission 24 000 USD
Description détaillée JPMorgan Chase & Co. est une banque multinationale américaine et une société de services financiers offrant des services bancaires de détail et commerciaux, des services d'investissement, de gestion de patrimoine et de cartes de crédit à travers le monde.

Un événement notable a récemment marqué le marché des titres à revenu fixe avec l'arrivée à maturité et le remboursement intégral de l'obligation identifiée par le code ISIN XS1569764746, émise par JPMorgan Chase Bank. Cette institution est une composante majeure de JPMorgan Chase & Co., l'un des conglomérats financiers les plus importants et les plus respectés au niveau mondial, dont le siège est aux États-Unis. Forte d'une présence internationale étendue et d'une réputation de solidité financière inébranlable, JPMorgan Chase Bank opère dans un large éventail de services bancaires, incluant la banque d'investissement, les services aux entreprises et la gestion de patrimoine, ce qui confère à ses émissions de dette une perception de sécurité et de fiabilité élevée sur les marchés. L'obligation en question, d'une nature particulière étant un instrument à taux d'intérêt nominal de 0%, a été libellée en dollars américains (USD) et émise depuis les États-Unis. Lancée avec une taille totale d'émission s'élevant à 24 000 unités de valeur nominale, elle était accessible aux investisseurs par lots minimaux de 1 000 unités. Conformément à sa structure de "zéro-coupon", les investisseurs ne percevaient pas de paiements d'intérêts périodiques, le rendement étant généré par la différence entre le prix d'achat (généralement inférieur au pair) et le prix de remboursement à maturité. Le fait que son prix sur le marché ait été enregistré à 100% juste avant sa date d'échéance du 13 février 2025 confirme son remboursement à la valeur nominale, marquant la fin réussie de son cycle de vie et l'exécution de l'engagement de l'émetteur envers ses créanciers.

INTRODUCTION TO THIS DOCUMENT
The Securities, the Guarantees and, in certain instances, the securities to be delivered upon redemption
or exercise of the Securities, if any, have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United
States, and trading in the Securities and the Guarantees has not been approved by the U.S. Commodity
Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") under the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as amended
(the "Commodity Exchange Act"). The Securities issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and the
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Guarantee (as defined below) have not been and will not be registered under
the rules of the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC"). Subject to certain
exceptions, the Securities may not be offered, sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, delivered, exercised
or redeemed at any time within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, any U.S. Person
except, in respect of certain of the Securities, in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act
("Rule 144A") and in reliance upon the relevant exemptions from state securities laws and any other
applicable laws of other jurisdictions. Hedging transactions involving "equity securities" of "domestic
issuers" (as each such term is defined in the Securities Act and regulations thereunder) may only be
conducted in compliance with the Securities Act and hedging transactions must be conducted only in
compliance with the Commodity Exchange Act.
What is this document?
This document (referred to as the "Offering Circular"), including the documents incorporated by
reference within it, is intended to provide investors with information necessary to enable them to make
an informed investment decision before purchasing Securities. It may be supplemented from time to time.
It is not a "prospectus" for the purposes of the EU Prospectus Regulation or the UK Prospectus
Regulation (see "Important Legal Information ­ Warning" below).
This Offering Circular is the successor to the Offering Circular dated 20 April 2023 relating to issues of
non-equity securities under the Programme by J.P. Morgan Structured Products B.V., JPMorgan Chase
Financial Company LLC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. (the "2023 Offering
Circular"). It succeeds the 2023 Offering Circular as soon as the 2023 Offering Circular becomes invalid
on 18 April 2024.
Who are the Issuers and the Guarantors of the Securities?
The Securities will be issued by one of (i) JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, (ii) J.P. Morgan
Structured Products B.V., (iii) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and (iv) JPMorgan Chase & Co. The relevant

issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or JPMorgan Chase & Co. will not be the subject of a guarantee.
The Securities are unsecured and unsubordinated general obligations of the relevant Issuer (and, if
applicable, the relevant Guarantor). All payments or deliveries to be made by the relevant Issuer (and, if
applicable, the relevant Guarantor) under the Securities are subject to the credit risk of the relevant Issuer
(and, if applicable, the relevant Guarantor). The potential return on and value of the Securities will be
adversely affected in the event of a default or deterioration in the financial position of the relevant Issuer
(and, if applicable, the relevant Guarantor). The financial and other information which is incorporated
by reference into this Offering Circular, together with other information provided in this Offering
Circular, provides a description of each Issuer's business activities as well as certain financial information
and material risks faced by each Issuer.
What are the Securities?
The relevant Issuer may issue Securities in the form of any of (i) Warrants (ii) Certificates and (iii) Notes
(all of which are referred to as "Securities"), under the Structured Products Programme for the issuance
of Notes, Warrants and Certificates (the "Programme"). Securities may (a) have any maturity (save that
any Securities issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. will not have a maturity of less than one year from the

ii





date of their issue), (b) be listed and traded on an exchange-regulated (or other) market, or not listed or
traded, (c) be unrated or rated, (d) be non-interest bearing or bear fixed or floating rate interest or other
variable interest, (e) have interest and/or redemption amounts which are dependent on the performance
of one or more "Reference Assets" (as described below), (f) be settled by way of cash payment or physical
delivery and (g) provide that the scheduled amount payable could be as low as zero or else provide some
level of minimum scheduled amount payable at maturity (subject to the credit risk of the relevant Issuer
and, if applicable, the relevant Guarantor). Notwithstanding the foregoing, JPMCFC (as defined herein)
will not issue Securities in the form of Warrants and Securities issued by JPMCFC will not be subject to
physical delivery.
In addition, the relevant Issuer may issue "Green Securities", "Social Securities" and/or "Sustainability
Securities" (collectively, "Sustainable Securities") under the Programme, as described in the section
entitled "Information relating to Sustainable Securities" of this Offering Circular.
What are the Reference Assets?
The return on the Securities may be dependent on the performance of one or more "Reference Assets".
The types of Reference Assets to which Securities issued under the Programme may be linked are (i) a
share or a depositary receipt (ii) a share index, (iii) a commodity, (iv) a commodity index, (v) a foreign
exchange rate, (vi) a fund (regulated or unregulated, mutual, exchange traded tracker or hedge), (vii) the
credit of a specified entity or entities, (viii) a consumer price or other inflation index, (ix) an interest rate
or constant maturity swap rate or any other rate, (x) a loan or bond or other debt obligation or certificate,
(xi) a basket of the above or (xii) any combination of any of the above or other types of reference asset(s).
The relevant Issuer is under no obligation to hold a Reference Asset, and holders of Securities will have
no beneficial interest or any other rights in relation to any Reference Assets.
What are Pricing Supplements?
A "Pricing Supplement" document will be prepared in relation to each tranche of Securities, and sets out
the specific details of the Securities. For example, the Pricing Supplement will contain the issue date, the
maturity date, the Reference Asset(s) to which the Securities are linked and specify the method used to
calculate the redemption amount and any interest/coupon payments (if applicable).
What documents should I read before purchasing Securities?
You should read the applicable Pricing Supplement, together with this Offering Circular (including the
information incorporated by reference in it), before deciding to purchase any Securities.
This Offering Circular will be supplemented and replaced after the date hereof from time to time. If you
purchase Securities after the date of the applicable Pricing Supplement, you should review the most
recent version (if any) of this Offering Circular and each supplement thereafter up to (and including) the
date of purchase to ensure that you have the most up to date information on the Issuer and (if applicable)
the relevant Guarantor on which to base your investment decision (note that the terms and conditions of
the Securities will remain as described in the applicable Pricing Supplement and the version of the
Offering Circular described in the Pricing Supplement, subject to any amendments notified to Holders).
Each supplement and replacement version (if any) to the Offering Circular can be found on
(www.luxse.com) and (https://www.euronext.com/en/markets/dublin).
What are the principal risks?
Securities issued under the Programme may include embedded derivatives, and an investment in
Securities is subject to a number of risks, as described in the section of this Offering Circular entitled
"Risk Factors" below.
Securities are speculative investments, and returns may at times be volatile and losses may occur quickly
and in unanticipated magnitude. Depending on the particular "payout" terms of the Securities, you may
bear the risk of losing some or up to all of your investment depending on the performance of the
Reference Asset(s) to which your Securities are linked.
Even if the relevant Securities provide for a minimum scheduled amount payable at maturity, you could
still lose some or up to all of your investment where (i) the relevant Issuer (and, if applicable, the relevant
Guarantor) becomes insolvent or otherwise fails to meet its payment (or delivery) obligations under the

iii





Securities, (ii) you are able to sell your Securities prior to maturity (which may not be the case, as there
may not be a secondary market for them), but the amount you receive is less than what you paid for them,
(iii) your Securities are redeemed or terminated by the relevant Issuer prior to maturity due to the
occurrence of one or more specified events as provided in the terms and conditions of the Securities, and
the amount you receive on such early redemption or termination is less than what you paid for the
Securities or (iv) the terms and conditions of your Securities are unilaterally adjusted by the relevant
Issuer due to the occurrence of one or more specified events as described in the terms and conditions of
the Securities, resulting in a reduced return.
You should not acquire any Securities unless you (whether by yourself or in conjunction with your
financial adviser) understand the nature of the relevant Securities and the extent of your exposure to
potential loss on the Securities, and any investment in Securities must be consistent with your overall
investment strategy. You (whether by yourself or in conjunction with your financial adviser) should
consider carefully whether the particular Securities are suitable for you in the light of your investment
objectives, financial capabilities and expertise. You should consult your own legal, tax, accountancy,
regulatory, investment and other professional advisers as may be required to assist you in determining
the suitability of the Securities for you as an investment.
You should read, in particular, the sections of this Offering Circular entitled "Risk Factors" and
"Commonly Asked Questions" for important information prior to making any decision to purchase
Securities.
Potential for Discretionary Determinations by the Calculation Agent and the Issuer under the
Securities
Under the terms and conditions of the Securities, following the occurrence of certain events outside of
the control of JPMorgan Chase (as defined below), the Calculation Agent and/or the Issuer may exercise
discretion to take one or more of the actions available to it in order to deal with the impact of such event
on the Securities or (if applicable in respect of the terms and conditions of the particular Securities) the
Issuer's hedging arrangements. Any such discretionary determinations could have a material adverse
impact on the value of and return on the Securities. An overview of the potential for discretionary
determinations by the Calculation Agent and the Issuer under the Securities is provided in the section of
this Offering Circular entitled "Overview of the Potential for Discretionary Determinations by the
Calculation Agent and the Issuer".

Neither the Securities nor the relevant Guarantee are deposits insured by the U.S. Federal Deposit

Offering restrictions in the European Economic Area
This Offering Circular has been prepared on the basis that any offer of Securities in any Member
State of the European Economic Area (the "EEA") will be made pursuant to an exemption under
Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, as amended (the "EU Prospectus Regulation") from the requirement
to publish a prospectus for offers of Securities. Accordingly, any person making or intending to
make an offer in that Member State of Securities which are the subject of an offering contemplated
in this Offering Circular as completed by a Pricing Supplement in relation to the offer of those
Securities may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Issuer or the
Dealers to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the EU Prospectus Regulation or
supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 23 of the EU Prospectus Regulation in relation to
such offer.
Offering restrictions in the United Kingdom
This Offering Circular has been prepared on the basis that any offer of Securities in the United
Kingdom will be made pursuant to an exemption under section 86 of the Financial Services and
Markets Act 2000 (as amended, the "FSMA") from the requirement to publish a prospectus for
offers of Securities. Accordingly, any person making or intending to make an offer in the United

1




Important Notices

Kingdom of Securities which are the subject of an offering contemplated in this Offering Circular
as completed by a Pricing Supplement in relation to the offer of those Securities may only do so in
circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Issuer or the Dealers to publish a prospectus
pursuant to section 85 of the FSMA or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 23 of the UK
Prospectus Regulation in relation to such offer, where "UK Prospectus Regulation" means
Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union
(Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended, the "EUWA") and regulations made thereunder.
None of the Issuers, Guarantors or Dealers has authorised, nor do they authorise, the making of
any offer of Securities in circumstances in which an obligation arises for the Issuer to publish a
prospectus in the EEA, the United Kingdom or in any other jurisdiction.
If the Pricing Supplement in respect of any Securities includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of
Sales to EEA Retail Investors", the Securities are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise
made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor
in the EEA. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail
client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II");
(ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU (as amended, the "Insurance
Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined
in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the EU
Prospectus Regulation. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU)
No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "EU PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Securities or
otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore
offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the
EEA may be unlawful under the EU PRIIPs Regulation.
Notwithstanding the above paragraph, in the case where the Pricing Supplement in respect of any
Securities does not specify "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors" to be not applicable but where
the Dealer subsequently prepares and publishes a key information document under the EU PRIIPs
Regulation in respect of such Securities, then following such publication, the prohibition on the offering,
sale or otherwise making available the Securities to a retail investor in the EEA as described in the above
paragraph and in such legend shall no longer apply.
If the Pricing Supplement in respect of any Securities includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of
Sales to UK Retail Investors", the Securities are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made
available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in
the United Kingdom. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of:
(i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part
of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions
of the FSMA and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU)
2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of
Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the
EUWA; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the UK Prospectus Regulation. Consequently,
no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of UK
domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (as amended, the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or
selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the United Kingdom
has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them
available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs
Regulation.
Notwithstanding the above paragraph, in the case where the Pricing Supplement in respect of any
Securities does not specify "Prohibition of Sales to UK Retail Investors" to be not applicable but where
the Dealer subsequently prepares and publishes a key information document under the UK PRIIPs
Regulation in respect of such Securities, then following such publication, the prohibition on the offering,
sale or otherwise making available the Securities to a retail investor in the United Kingdom as described
in the above paragraph and in such legend shall no longer apply.
Certain U.S. restrictions and other disclosure
The Securities, the Guarantees and, in certain instances, the securities to be delivered upon redemption
or exercise of the Securities, if any, have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and

2
