SYMBOL
GUIDE FOR STRUCTURED PRODUCTS CATEGORIZATION
Structured products
issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. can be organized into different categories
based on several characteristics, including investors’ investment horizon,
market outlook, desire for principal protection and investment objective and the
underlying index. To help investors identify appropriate structured
products for investment and how a specific structured product may be
categorized, we have developed a set of symbols that may be used in offering
documents relating to an offering of structured products by JPMorgan Chase &
Co. These symbols are intended to visually represent generally some
of the underlying characteristics of the relevant structured
products. However, investors should not rely solely on these symbols
in their investment decisions, and should read carefully the relevant
prospectus, prospectus supplement, product supplement, term sheet, pricing
supplement and any other related documents, which will set forth important
details about the particular structured products offered and the related
risks.
Classification
of structured products into categories is not intended to guarantee particular
results or performance.
JPMorgan Chase
& Co. (“JPMorgan”) has filed a registration statement (including a
prospectus) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for any
offerings to which these materials relate. Before you invest in any offering of
securities by JPMorgan, you should read the prospectus in that registration
statement, the prospectus supplement, as well as the particular product
supplement, terms sheet, pricing supplement and any other documents that
JPMorgan will file with the SEC relating to such offering for more complete
information about JPMorgan and the offering of any securities. You may get these
documents without cost by visiting EDGAR on the SEC Website at www.sec.gov.
Alternatively, JPMorgan, any agent or any dealer participating in the particular
offering will arrange to send you the prospectus and the prospectus supplement,
as well as any product supplement, term sheet and/or pricing supplement, if you
so request by calling toll-free 866-535-9248.
