The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. Any pa ym e nt on t he not e s is subje c t t o t he c re dit risk
of J PM orga n Cha se & Co.
·
These notes are designed for an investor who seeks a fixed income investment, where the interest rate increases over time as described under
"Interest Rate" below, but is also willing to accept the risk that the notes will be called prior to the Maturity Date.
·
Unless general interest rates rise significantly, you should not expect to earn the highest scheduled Interest Rate set forth below because the notes are
likely to be called prior to maturity if interest rates remain the same or fall during the term of your notes. Additionally, the Interest Rate on the notes
does not step up significantly until later in the term of the notes. See "Selected Risk Considerations" in this pricing supplement.
·
These notes have a long maturity relative to other fixed income products. Longer dated notes may be more risky than shorter dated notes. See
"Selected Risk Considerations" in this pricing supplement.
·
At our option, we may redeem the notes, in whole but not in part, on any of the Redemption Dates specified below.
·
The notes may be purchased in minimum denominations of $1,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 thereafter.

You should read this pricing supplement together with the prospectus dated November 7, 2014, as supplemented by the
prospectus supplement dated November 7, 2014 relating to our Series E medium-term notes of which these notes are a part, and
the more detailed information contained in product supplement no. 1a-I dated November 7, 2014. This pricing supplement, together
with the documents listed below, contains the terms of the notes, supplements the term sheet related hereto dated September 16,
2015, and supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous oral statements as well as any other written materials including
preliminary or indicative pricing terms, correspondence, trade ideas, structures for implementation, sample structures, fact sheets,
brochures or other educational materials of ours. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in "Risk
Factors" in the accompanying product supplement, as the notes involve risks not associated with conventional debt securities. We
urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers before you invest in the notes.
You may access these documents on the SEC website at www.sec.gov as follows (or if such address has changed, by reviewing
our filings for the relevant date on the SEC website):

Se le c t e d Purc ha se Conside ra t ions
·
PRESERV AT I ON OF CAPI T AL AT M AT U RI T Y OR U PON REDEM PT I ON -- We will pay you at least the principal
amount of your notes if you hold the notes to maturity or to the Redemption Date, if any, on which we elect to call the notes.
Because the notes are our unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, payment of any amount at maturity or upon early
redemption is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.
·
PERI ODI C I N T EREST PAY M EN T S -- The notes offer periodic interest payments on each Interest Payment Date at the
applicable Interest Rate. Interest, if any, will be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, to the holders of record at the
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/19617/000089109215008309/e66167_424b2.htm[9/23/2015 11:57:59 AM]

close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date. The interest payments will
be based on the Interest Rate listed on the cover of this pricing supplement. The yield on the notes may be less than the
overall return you would receive from a conventional debt security that you could purchase today with the same maturity as the
notes.
·
POT EN T I AL PERI ODI C REDEM PT I ON BY U S AT OU R OPT I ON -- At our option, we may redeem the notes, in whole
but not in part, on any of the Redemption Dates set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement, at a price equal to the
principal amount being redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest, subject to the Business Day Convention and the
Interest Accrual Convention described on the cover of this pricing supplement and in the accompanying product supplement.
Any accrued and unpaid interest on the notes redeemed will be paid to the person who is the holder of record of such notes at
the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Redemption Date.
·
T REAT ED AS FI X ED RAT E DEBT I N ST RU M EN T S -- You should review carefully the section entitled "Material U.S.
Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the accompanying product supplement for a detailed discussion of the U.S. federal
income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of a note and consult your tax adviser concerning your
particular circumstances. Subject to the limitations described therein, the notes will be treated for U.S. federal income tax
purposes as "fixed rate debt instruments." Accordingly, interest paid on the notes will generally be taxable to you as ordinary
interest income at the time it accrues or is received in accordance with your regular method of accounting for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. In general, gain or loss realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of the notes will be capital
gain or loss. As discussed in the section entitled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences Tax Treatment of
Indebtedness Notes Subject to Call or Put Options", we will be deemed to redeem the notes on each Redemption Date in a
manner that minimizes their yield. Notwithstanding the foregoing discussion, because the period between the last step-up date
and the final maturity date does not exceed one year, on September 23, 2034, solely for the purpose of determining original
issue discount, the notes should be treated as "short-term debt instruments" for the final period. Prospective purchasers are
urged to consult their own tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes.
Purchasers who are not initial purchasers of notes at their issue price on the Original Issue Date should consult their tax
advisers with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in the notes, and the potential application of special rules.
Non-U.S. Holders should note that final Treasury regulations were released on legislation that imposes a withholding tax of
30% on payments to certain foreign entities unless information reporting and diligence requirements are met, as described in
"Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences-Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders" in the accompanying product
supplement. Pursuant to the final regulations, such withholding tax will generally apply to obligations that are issued on or after
July 1, 2014; therefore, the notes will generally be subject to this withholding tax. The withholding tax described above will not
apply to payments of gross proceeds from the sale, exchange or other disposition of the notes made before January 1, 2019.

Se le c t e d Risk Conside ra t ions
An investment in the notes involves significant risks. These risks are explained in more detail in the "Risk Factors" section of the
accompanying product supplement.
·
WE M AY CALL Y OU R N OT ES PRI OR T O T H EI R SCH EDU LED M AT U RI T Y DAT E -- We may choose to call the
notes early or choose not to call the notes early on any Redemption Date in our sole discretion. If the notes are called early,
you will receive the principal amount of your notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption
Date. The aggregate amount that you will receive through and including the Redemption Date will be less than the aggregate
amount that you would have received had the notes not been called early. If we call the notes early, your overall return may be
less than the yield which the notes would have earned if you held your notes to maturity and you may not be able to reinvest
your funds at the same rate as the original notes. We may choose to call the notes early, for example, if U.S. interest rates
decrease significantly or if volatility of U.S. interest rates decreases significantly.
·
ST EP-U P N OT ES PRESEN T DI FFEREN T I N V EST M EN T CON SI DERAT I ON S T H AN FI X ED RAT E N OT ES -- The
rate of interest paid by us on the notes will increase upward from the initial stated rate of interest of the notes. The notes are
callable by us, in whole but not in part, prior to maturity and, therefore, contain the call risk described above. If we do not call
the notes, the interest rate will step up as described on the cover of this pricing supplement. Unless general interest rates rise
significantly, you should not expect to earn the highest scheduled Interest Rate set forth on the cover of this pricing
supplement because the notes are likely to be called prior to maturity if interest rates remain the same or fall during the term of
your notes. When determining whether to invest in a stepped-up rate note, you should not focus on the highest stated Interest
Rate, which usually is the final stepped-up rate of interest. You should instead focus on, among other things, the overall
annual percentage rate of interest to maturity or call as compared to other equivalent investment alternatives.
·
T H E I N T EREST RAT E OF T H E N OT ES DOES N OT ST EP U P SI GN I FI CAN T LY U N T I L LAT ER I N T H E T ERM
OF T H E N OT ES -- Unless general interest rates rise significantly, you should not expect to earn the highest scheduled
Interest Rate set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement because the notes are likely to be called prior to maturity if
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/19617/000089109215008309/e66167_424b2.htm[9/23/2015 11:57:59 AM]

interest rates remain the same or fall during the term of your notes. Additionally, the interest rate on the notes does not step up
significantly until later in the term of the notes. If interest rates rise faster than the incremental increases in the interest rates of
the notes, the notes may have an interest rate that is significantly lower than the interest rates at that time and the secondary
market value of the notes may be significantly lower than other instruments with a similar term but higher interest rates. In
other words, you should only purchase the notes if you are comfortable receiving the stated interest rates set forth on the cover
of this pricing supplement for the entire term of the notes.
·
LON GER DAT ED N OT ES M AY BE M ORE RI SK Y T H AN SH ORT ER DAT ED N OT ES -- By purchasing a note with a
longer tenor, you are more exposed to fluctuations in interest rates than if you purchased a note with a shorter tenor. The
present value of a longer-dated note tends to be more sensitive to rising interest rates than the present value of a shorter-
dated note. If interest rates rise, the present value of a longer-dated note will fall faster than the present value of a shorter-
dated note. You should only purchase these notes if you are comfortable with owning a note with a longer tenor.
·
CREDI T RI SK OF J PM ORGAN CH ASE & 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, and therefore investors are subject to our credit risk and to changes
in the market's view of our creditworthiness. Any decline in our credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged 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.
·
POT EN T I AL CON FLI CT S -- We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the notes,
including acting as Calculation Agent and hedging our obligations under the notes. 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 for our own
accounts or on behalf of customers, could cause our economic interests to be adverse to yours and could adversely affect any
payments on the notes and the value of the notes. It is possible that hedging or trading activities of ours or our affiliates 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 for additional information about these risks.

and other matters that may influence the value of the notes, or express opinions or provide recommendations that are
inconsistent with purchasing or holding the notes. JPMS and its affiliates may have published research or other opinions that
call into question the investment view implicit in an investment in the notes. Any research, opinions or recommendations
expressed by JPMS or its affiliates may not be consistent with each other and may be modified from time to time without
notice. Investors should undertake their own independent investigation of the merits of investing in the notes.

CERT AI N BU I LT -I N COST S ARE LI K ELY T O ADV ERSELY AFFECT T H E V ALU E OF T H E N OT ES PRI OR T O
M AT U RI T Y -- While the Payment at Maturity described in this pricing supplement is based on the full principal amount of
your notes, the original issue price of the notes includes the agent's commission and the estimated cost of hedging our
obligations under the notes through one or more of our affiliates. As a result, the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to
purchase notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, will likely be lower than the original issue price and could
result in a substantial loss to you.
·
REI N V EST M EN T RI SK -- If we redeem the notes, the term of the notes may be reduced and you will not receive interest
payments after the applicable Redemption 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 prior to the Maturity Date.
·
LACK OF LI QU I DI T Y -- The notes will not be listed on an organized securities exchange. JPMS and its affiliates may offer
to purchase the notes upon terms and conditions acceptable to them, but are 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.
·
M AN Y ECON OM I C AN D M ARK ET FACT ORS WI LL I M PACT T H E V ALU E OF T H E N OT ES -- The notes will be
affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including but not limited to:
·
the time to maturity of the notes;
·
interest and yield rates in the market generally, as well as the volatility of those rates;

·
the likelihood, or expectation, that the notes will be redeemed by us, based on prevailing market interest rates or otherwise;
and
·
our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.

H ypot he t ic a l Ex a m ple s of Ca lc ula t ion of t he I nt e re st Ra t e on t he N ot e s for a n I nt e re st Pe riod
The following examples illustrate how the hypothetical Interest Rates for an Interest Period are calculated if we choose to call the
notes early or choose not to call the notes early on any Redemption Date in our sole discretion, assuming that the number of
calendar days in the applicable Interest Period is 180. The hypothetical Interest Rates in the following examples are for illustrative
purposes only and may not correspond to the actual Interest Rates for any Interest Period applicable to a purchaser of the notes.
The numbers appearing in the following examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Se pt e m be r 2 3 , 2 0 2 2 , we will pay you $1,000 for each $1,000 principal amount note plus any accrued and unpaid interest at an
Interest Rate equal to 4.00% per annum. Therefore, the interest payment per $1,000 principal amount note on the Redemption
Date will be calculated as follows:

$1,000 × 4.00% × (180 / 360) = $20.00

We will pay you a principal payment of $1,000 for each $1,000 principal amount note on such Redemption Date. Therefore, you will
receive $1,020.00 for each $1,000 principal amount note ($1,000 of principal plus $20.00 of interest) on such Redemption Date, but
you will not receive any further interest or principal payments from us.

Ex a m ple 2 : I f w e c hoose not t o c a ll t he not e s e a rly on a Re de m pt ion Da t e a nd t he I nt e re st Pa ym e nt Da t e is
Se pt e m be r 2 3 , 2 0 2 2 , we will pay you any accrued and unpaid interest on the applicable Interest Payment Date at an Interest
Rate equal to 4.00% per annum. Therefore, the interest payment per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:

$1,000 × 4.00% × (180 / 360) = $20.00

We will pay you an interest payment of $20.00 for each $1,000 principal amount note on such Interest Payment Date. Because the
notes have not been called, you will be entitled to receive additional interest payments and a payment of principal at maturity or on
the applicable Redemption Date, if any.

Ex a m ple 3 : I f w e c hoose not t o c a ll t he not e s prior t o t he M a t urit y Da t e a nd t oda y is t he M a t urit y Da t e , we
will pay you $1,000 for each $1,000 principal amount note plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Maturity Date at an Interest
Rate equal to 7.00% per annum. Therefore, the interest payment per $1,000 principal amount note on the Maturity Date will be
calculated as follows:

$1,000 × 7.00% × (180 / 360) = $35.00

We will pay you a principal payment of $1,000 for each $1,000 principal amount note on the Maturity Date. Therefore, you will
receive $1,035.00 for each $1,000 principal amount note ($1,000 of principal plus $35.00 of interest) on the Maturity Date, and you
will not receive any further interest or principal payments from us.

V a lidit y of t he N ot e s
In the opinion of Sidley Austin LLP, as counsel to the Company, when the notes offered by this pricing supplement have been
