Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Lesser
Performing of the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF and the
iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF due March 3, 2031
Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
• The notes are designed for investors who seek a Contingent Interest Payment with respect to each Review Date for
which the closing price of one share of each of the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF and the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF,
which we refer to as the Funds, is greater than or equal to 60.00% of its Initial Value, which we refer to as an Interest
Barrier.
• The notes will be automatically called if the closing price of one share of each Fund on any Review Date (other than the
first through eleventh and final Review Dates) is greater than or equal to its Call Value.
• The earliest date on which an automatic call may be initiated is February 26, 2027.
• Investors should be willing to accept the risk of losing up to 60.00% of their principal and the risk that no Contingent
Interest Payment may be made with respect to some or all Review Dates.
• Investors should also be willing to forgo fixed interest payments, in exchange for the opportunity to receive Contingent
Interest Payments.
• The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, which we refer to
as JPMorgan Financial, the payment on which is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. Any
payment on the notes is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial, as issuer of the notes, and the credit
risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co., as guarantor of the notes.
• Payments on the notes are not linked to a basket composed of the Funds. Payments on the notes are linked to the
performance of each of the Funds individually, as described below.
• Investors should be knowledgeable about the risks associated with cryptocurrencies and digital assets because the
Funds seek to reflect generally the performance of the prices of bitcoin and ether, respectively, and therefore the notes
involve significant risks in investments tracking cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin and ether have historically exhibited high
price volatility relative to more traditional asset classes and have experienced extreme volatility in recent
periods and may continue to do so, which may increase the volatility of the respective Funds.
• Minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof
• The notes are expected to price on or about February 26, 2026 and are expected to settle on or about March 3, 2026.
• CUSIP: 46660MXK6
Investing in the notes involves a number of risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-2 of the accompanying
prospectus supplement, Annex A to the accompanying prospectus addendum, "Risk Factors" beginning on page PS-11
of the accompanying product supplement and "Selected Risk Considerations" beginning on page PS-7 of this pricing

Automatic Call:
If the closing price of one share of each Fund on any Review
Date (other than the first through eleventh and final Review
Dates) is greater than or equal to its Call Value, the notes will
be automatically called for a cash payment, for each $1,000
principal amount note, equal to (a) $1,000 plus (b) the
Contingent Interest Payment applicable to that Review Date,
payable on the applicable Call Settlement Date. No further
payments will be made on the notes.
Payment at Maturity:
If the notes have not been automatically called and the Final
Value of each Fund is greater than or equal to its Buffer
Threshold, 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 final Review
Date.
If the notes have not been automatically called and the Final
Value of either Fund is less than its Buffer Threshold, your
payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note will be
calculated as follows:
$1,000 + [$1,000 × (Lesser Performing Fund Return + Buffer
Amount)]
If the notes have not been automatically called and the Final

Supplemental Terms of the Notes
The notes are not commodity futures contracts or swaps and are not regulated under the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936,
as amended (the "Commodity Exchange Act"). The notes are offered pursuant to an exemption from regulation under the
Commodity Exchange Act, commonly known as the hybrid instrument exemption, that is available to securities that have one or more
payments indexed to the value, level or rate of one or more commodities, as set out in section 2(f) of that statute. Accordingly, you are
not afforded any protection provided by the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulation promulgated by the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission.
Any values of the Funds, and any values derived therefrom, included in this pricing supplement may be corrected, in the event of
manifest error or inconsistency, by amendment of this pricing supplement and the corresponding terms of the notes. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the indenture governing the notes, that amendment will become effective without consent of the holders of
the notes or any other party.
Acceleration Upon a Liquidation Event
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under "The Underlyings - Funds - Discontinuation of a Fund; Alternate Calculation of
Closing Price and Trading Price" in the accompanying product supplement, if a Fund (or its successor fund (as defined in the
accompanying product supplement)) is delisted, liquidated or otherwise terminated (each, a "liquidation event") and the calculation
agent determines, in its sole discretion, that no successor fund is available, we will have the right, but not the obligation, to accelerate
the payment on the notes. If we choose to exercise this right, (a) we will provide, or cause the calculation agent to provide, written
notice of our election to exercise this right to the trustee, on which notice the trustee may conclusively rely, at its New York office, and to
The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, as holder of the notes, (b) the amount due and payable per note upon early acceleration will
be determined by the calculation agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner on the date on which we (or the
calculation agent) deliver notice of acceleration and (c) that amount will be payable on the fifth business day following the date on which
we (or the calculation agent) deliver notice of acceleration, and the maturity date will be accelerated to that fifth business day. In
determining the amount due and payable upon the occurrence of a liquidation event due to delisting of a Fund, the calculation agent will
consider the last price published by the relevant exchange before such delisting.
We will provide, or will cause the calculation agent to provide, written notice to the trustee at its New York office, on which notice the
trustee may conclusively rely, and to DTC of the cash amount due with respect to the notes as promptly as possible and in no event
later than two business days prior to the date on which payment is due.

Hypothetical Payout Examples
The following examples illustrate payments on the notes linked to two hypothetical Funds, assuming a range of performances for the
hypothetical Lesser Performing Fund on the Review Dates. Solely for purposes of this section, the Lesser Performing Fund with
respect to each Review Date is the lesser performing of the Funds determined based on the closing price of one share of each
Fund on that Review Date compared with its Initial Value.
The hypothetical payments set forth below assume the following:
• an Initial Value for each Fund of $100.00;
• an Interest Barrier and a Buffer Threshold for each Fund of $60.00 (equal to 60.00% of its hypothetical Initial Value);
• a Buffer Amount of 40.00%;
• a Call Value for each Fund of $85.00 (equal to 85.00% of its hypothetical Initial Value); and
• a Contingent Interest Rate of 13.00% per annum.
The hypothetical Initial Value of each Fund of $100.00 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and may not represent a likely
actual Initial Value of either Fund. The actual Initial Value of each Fund will be the closing price of one share of that Fund on the
Pricing Date and will be provided in the pricing supplement. For historical data regarding the actual closing prices of one share of each
Fund, please see the historical information set forth under "The Funds" in this pricing supplement.
Each hypothetical payment set forth below is for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual payment applicable to a purchaser
of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.
Example 1 - Notes are automatically called on the twelfth Review Date.
Date
Closing Price of One Share of
Lesser Performing Fund
Payment (per $1,000 principal amount note)
First Review Date
$105.00
$10.8333
Second Review Date

Third through Eleventh
Review Dates

$10.8333
Twelfth Review Date
$115.00
$1,010.8333
Total Payment
$1,130.00 (13.00% return)
Because the closing price of one share of the Lesser Performing Fund on the twelfth Review Date is greater than or equal to its Call
Value, the notes will be automatically called for a cash payment, for each $1,000 principal amount note, of $1,010.8333 (or $1,000 plus
the Contingent Interest Payment applicable to the twelfth Review Date), payable on the applicable Call Settlement Date. The notes are
not automatically callable before the twelfth Review Date, even though the closing price of one share of the Lesser Performing Fund on
each of the first through eleventh Review Dates is greater than its Call Value. When added to the Contingent Interest Payments
received with respect to the prior Review Dates, the total amount paid, for each $1,000 principal amount note, is $1,130.00. No further
payments will be made on the notes.

Review Dates

$0
Final Review Date
$80.00
$1,010.8333
Total Payment
$1,032.50 (3.25% return)
Because the notes have not been automatically called and the Final Value of the Lesser Performing Fund is greater than or equal to its
Buffer Threshold, the payment at maturity, for each $1,000 principal amount note, will be $1,010.8333 (or $1,000 plus the Contingent
Interest Payment applicable to the final Review Date). When added to the Contingent Interest Payments received with respect to the
prior Review Dates, the total amount paid, for each $1,000 principal amount note, is $1,032.50.
Example 3 - Notes have NOT been automatically called and the Final Value of the Lesser Performing Fund is less than its
Buffer Threshold.
Date
Closing Price of One Share of
Lesser Performing Fund
Payment (per $1,000 principal amount note)
First Review Date
$40.00
$0
Second Review Date
$45.00
$0
Third through Fifty-Ninth
Review Dates
Less than Interest Barrier
$0
Final Review Date
$40.00
$800.00
Total Payment
$800.00 (-20.00% return)
Because the notes have not been automatically called, the Final Value of the Lesser Performing Fund is less than its Buffer Threshold
and the Lesser Performing Fund Return is -60.00%, the payment at maturity will be $800.00 per $1,000 principal amount note,
calculated as follows:
$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-60.00% + 40.00%)] = $800.00
The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the notes shown above apply only if you hold the notes for their entire term
or until automatically called. These hypotheticals do not reflect the fees or expenses that would be associated with any sale in the
secondary market. If these fees and expenses were included, the hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments shown above would
likely be lower.
Selected Risk Considerations
An investment in the notes involves significant risks. These risks are explained in more detail in the "Risk Factors" sections of the
accompanying prospectus supplement and product supplement and in Annex A to the accompanying prospectus addendum.
Risks Relating to the Notes Generally
• 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 automatically called and the Final Value of either
Fund is less than its Buffer Threshold, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Final Value of
the Lesser Performing Fund is less than its Initial Value by more than 40.00%. Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will
lose up to 60.00% of your principal amount at maturity.
• THE NOTES DO NOT GUARANTEE THE PAYMENT OF INTEREST AND MAY NOT PAY ANY INTEREST AT ALL -
If the notes have not been automatically called, we will make a Contingent Interest Payment with respect to a Review Date only if
the closing price of one share of each Fund on that Review Date is greater than or equal to its Interest Barrier. If the closing price
of one share of either Fund on a Review Date is less than its Interest Barrier, no Contingent Interest Payment will be made with
respect to that Review Date. Accordingly, if the closing price of one share of either Fund on each Review Date is less than its
Interest Barrier, you will not receive any interest payments over the term of the notes.

• CREDIT RISKS OF JPMORGAN FINANCIAL AND JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. -
Investors are dependent on our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s ability to pay all amounts due on the notes. Any actual or potential
change in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s creditworthiness or credit spreads, as determined by the market for taking that credit
risk, is likely to adversely affect the value of the notes. If we and JPMorgan Chase & Co. 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.
• AS A FINANCE SUBSIDIARY, JPMORGAN FINANCIAL HAS NO INDEPENDENT OPERATIONS AND HAS LIMITED ASSETS
-
As a finance subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co., we have no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of
our securities and the collection of intercompany obligations. Aside from the initial capital contribution from JPMorgan Chase &
Co., substantially all of our assets relate to obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. to make payments under loans made by us to
JPMorgan Chase & Co. or under other intercompany agreements. As a result, we are dependent upon payments from JPMorgan
Chase & Co. to meet our obligations under the notes. We are not a key operating subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and in a
bankruptcy or resolution of JPMorgan Chase & Co. we are not expected to have sufficient resources to meet our obligations in
respect of the notes as they come due. If JPMorgan Chase & Co. does not make payments to us and we are unable to make
payments on the notes, you may have to seek payment under the related guarantee by JPMorgan Chase & Co., and that
guarantee will rank pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. For more
information, see the accompanying prospectus addendum.
• 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 of either Fund, which may be significant. You will not participate in any appreciation of either Fund.
• YOU ARE EXPOSED TO THE RISK OF DECLINE IN THE PRICE OF ONE SHARE OF EACH FUND -
Payments on the notes are not linked to a basket composed of the Funds and are contingent upon the performance of each
individual Fund. Poor performance by either of the Funds over the term of the notes may result in the notes not being
automatically called on a Review Date, may negatively affect whether you will receive a Contingent Interest Payment on any
Interest Payment Date and your payment at maturity and will not be offset or mitigated by positive performance by the other Fund.
• YOUR PAYMENT AT MATURITY WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE LESSER PERFORMING FUND.
• THE AUTOMATIC CALL FEATURE MAY FORCE A POTENTIAL EARLY EXIT -
If your notes are automatically called, the term of the notes may be reduced to as short as approximately one year and you will not
receive any Contingent Interest Payments after the applicable Call Settlement 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. Even in cases where the notes are called before maturity, you are not entitled to any fees and commissions described
on the front cover of this pricing supplement.
• YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO EITHER FUND OR ITS UNDERLYING ASSET.
• THE RISK OF THE CLOSING PRICE OF ONE SHARE OF A FUND FALLING BELOW ITS INTEREST BARRIER OR BUFFER
THRESHOLD IS GREATER IF THE PRICE OF ONE SHARE OF THAT FUND IS VOLATILE.
• WE MAY ACCELERATE YOUR NOTES IF A LIQUIDATION EVENT OCCURS -
If a liquidation event occurs and the calculation agent determines, in its sole discretion, that no successor fund is available, we
may, in our sole and absolute discretion, accelerate the payment on your notes and pay you an amount determined in good faith
and in a commercially reasonable manner by the calculation agent. If the payment on your notes is accelerated, your investment
may result in a loss and you may not be able to reinvest your money in a comparable investment. For more information, see
"Supplemental Terms of the Notes - Acceleration Upon a Liquidation Event" in this pricing supplement.
• LACK OF LIQUIDITY -
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Accordingly, 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. You may not be able to sell your notes. The notes
are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity.

• THE FINAL TERMS AND VALUATION OF THE NOTES WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE PRICING SUPPLEMENT -
You should consider your potential investment in the notes based on the minimums for the estimated value of the notes and the
Contingent Interest Rate.
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest
• POTENTIAL CONFLICTS -
We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the notes. In performing these duties, our and JPMorgan Chase &
Co.'s economic interests are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in 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 Conflicts of Interest" in the accompanying product
supplement.
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes
• THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES WILL BE LOWER THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE (PRICE TO PUBLIC) OF
THE NOTES -
The estimated value of the notes is only an estimate determined by reference to several factors. The original issue price of the
notes will exceed the estimated value of the notes 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 "The Estimated Value of the Notes" in this pricing supplement.
• THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE VALUES OF THE NOTES AND MAY DIFFER
FROM OTHERS' ESTIMATES -
See "The Estimated Value of the Notes" in this pricing supplement.
• THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES IS DERIVED BY REFERENCE TO AN INTERNAL FUNDING RATE -
The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied funding
rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference may
be based on, among other things, our and our affiliates' 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 the conventional fixed income
instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions, which may
prove to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use of an
internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any
secondary market prices of the notes. See "The Estimated Value of the Notes" in this pricing supplement.
• THE VALUE OF THE NOTES AS PUBLISHED BY JPMS (AND WHICH MAY BE REFLECTED ON CUSTOMER ACCOUNT
STATEMENTS) MAY BE HIGHER THAN THE 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.
See "Secondary Market Prices of the Notes" in this pricing supplement 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 internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances and,
also, because secondary market prices may exclude selling commissions, 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 the
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.
PS-10 | Structured Investments
Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Lesser Performing of
the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF and the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF
• 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 prices of one share of the Funds. Additionally, independent pricing vendors and/or third party broker-dealers may
publish a price for the notes, which may also be reflected on customer account statements. This price may be different (higher or
lower) than the price of the notes, if any, at which JPMS may be willing to purchase your notes in the secondary market. See "Risk
Factors - Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes - Secondary market prices of the
notes will be impacted by many economic and market factors" in the accompanying product supplement.
Risks Relating to the Funds
• THE FUNDS ARE NOT INVESTMENT COMPANIES OR COMMODITY POOLS AND WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO
REGULATION UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED, OR THE COMMODITY EXCHANGE ACT
-
Accordingly, you will not benefit from any regulatory protections afforded to persons who invest in regulated investment companies
or commodity pools.
• THE PERFORMANCE AND MARKET VALUE OF EACH FUND, PARTICULARLY DURING PERIODS OF MARKET
VOLATILITY, MAY NOT CORRELATE WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THAT FUND'S UNDERLYING ASSET AS WELL AS
THE NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE -
The iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF does not fully replicate the performance of bitcoin, which we refer to as the underlying asset with
respect to the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF, and the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF does not fully replicate the performance of ether,
which we refer to as the underlying asset with respect to the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF, due to the fees and expenses charged
by each Fund or by restrictions on access to its relevant underlying asset due to other circumstances. Additionally, there is a risk
that part or all of a Fund's holdings in its underlying asset could be lost, stolen or destroyed. Access to that Fund's underlying
asset could also be restricted by natural events (such as an earthquake) or human actions (such as a terrorist attack or
cyberattack). All of these factors may lead to a lack of correlation between the performance of each Fund and its underlying
asset. In addition, because the shares of each Fund are traded on a securities exchange and are subject to market supply and
investor demand, the market value of one share of each Fund may differ from the net asset value per share of that Fund.
During periods of market volatility, a Fund's underlying asset may be unavailable in the secondary market, market participants may
be unable to calculate accurately the net asset value per share of that Fund and the liquidity of that Fund may be adversely
affected. This kind of market volatility may also disrupt the ability of market participants to create and redeem shares of a
Fund. Further, market volatility may adversely affect, sometimes materially, the prices at which market participants are willing to
buy and sell shares of a Fund. As a result, under these circumstances, the market value of shares of a Fund may vary
substantially from the net asset value per share of that Fund. For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of each Fund may
not correlate with the performance of its underlying asset as well as the net asset value per share of that Fund, which could
materially and adversely affect the value of the notes in the secondary market and/or reduce any payment on the notes.
• VOLATILITY RISK -
Greater expected volatility with respect to each Fund indicates a greater likelihood as of the Pricing Date that the closing price of
one share of that Fund on any Review Date could be less than its Interest Barrier or that the Final Value of that Fund could be less
than its Buffer Threshold if the notes have not been automatically called. Each Fund's volatility, however, can change significantly
over the term of the notes. The closing price of one share of each Fund could fall sharply during the term of the notes, which could
result in you losing one or more, or all, of the Contingent Interest Payments or some or most of your principal amount at maturity.
In addition, because each Fund is linked to a single asset, not a diverse basket or a broad-based index, the notes carry greater risk
and may be more volatile than securities linked to the values of a diverse basket or a broad-based index. Furthermore, bitcoin
and ether have historically exhibited high price volatility relative to more traditional asset classes and have experienced
extreme volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so, which may increase the volatility of the respective Funds.
• THE NOTES ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS RELATING TO BITCOIN AND ETHER AND THE BITCOIN NETWORK AND
ETHEREUM NETWORK -
The iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF and the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF offer exposure to bitcoin and ether, respectively. Bitcoin
and ether are digital assets designed to act as a medium of exchange and do not represent legal tender. Use of bitcoin and ether
in the retail and commercial marketplace is relatively limited. Bitcoin and ether generally operate without central authority or banks
and are not backed by any government or organized governing body. Digital assets such as bitcoin and ether are new and novel
products, and their value is influenced by a wide variety of factors that are uncertain and difficult to evaluate. Information about
PS-11 | Structured Investments
Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Lesser Performing of
the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF and the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF
bitcoin and ether holdings is limited, as ownership of bitcoin and ether is semi-anonymous and the supply of accessible bitcoin and
ether is unknown.
Bitcoin and ether are an emerging asset class, and regulation in the United States is still developing, including with respect to
market integrity, anti-fraud, anti-manipulation, cybersecurity, surveillance and anti-money laundering. Federal, state and/or foreign
governments may restrict the use and exchange of bitcoin or ether and any such regulatory actions may adversely affect the value
of bitcoin or ether. Bitcoin and ether and bitcoin network and ethereum network face significant challenges to scaling. Bitcoin and
ether have been and may continue to be subject to extreme market volatility.
Competition from other digital assets or so-called "central bank digital currencies" could adversely affect the value of bitcoin or
ether. Political or economic crises may motivate large-scale sales of bitcoin or ether, which could result in a reduction in the prices
of bitcoin or ether and adversely affect an investment in the notes. Concerns about the perceived or actual environmental or other
risks associated with, or bad publicity regarding, bitcoin or ether may lead to decreased participation in the bitcoin network or
ethereum network, as applicable, or decreased interest in or use of bitcoin or ether, as applicable, which could adversely affect the
value of bitcoin or either and therefore the value of and return on the notes. The value of bitcoin or ether may fall sharply, and
potentially to zero, causing you to lose some or most of your principal amount at maturity. If bitcoin or ether continues to be subject
to sharp fluctuations, the relevant Fund and the notes may be adversely affected.
The value of bitcoin or ether could be adversely affected by the actions of bitcoin miners and ether validators respectively. Your
investment in the notes could also be adversely affected by a temporary or permanent "fork" (or "split") of the bitcoin network or
ethereum network and the blockchain, with one version running pre-modified software and the other running modified software.
Even when held indirectly, investment vehicles like the Funds may be affected by the high volatility associated with bitcoin or ether
exposure, as applicable. Bitcoin and ether are susceptible to theft, loss, destruction and fraud.
Bitcoin and ether exchanges and other trading venues on which bitcoin and ether trade are also relatively new and, in most cases,
largely unregulated and may therefore be more exposed to operational problems, fraud and failure than established, regulated
exchanges for securities, derivatives and other currencies. Bitcoin and ether exchanges may stop operating or permanently shut
down due to fraud, technical glitches, internet disruptions, hackers or malware (e.g., intentional network attacks), which may also
affect the prices of bitcoin and ether. Events that negatively affect bitcoin or ether may negatively affect the performance of the
relevant Fund and the notes.
Ether trading relies on new technologies that may be exposed to operational problems. For example, smart contracts, including
those relating to decentralized finance applications, are a new technology and their ongoing development and operation may result
in problems, which could reduce the demand for ether or cause a wider loss of confidence in the ethereum network, either of which
could have an adverse impact on the value of ether.
• LIMITED TRADING HISTORY -
The iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF commenced trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market on January 11, 2024 and the iShares® Ethereum
Trust ETF commenced trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market on July 23, 2024 and therefore each has limited historical
performance. Accordingly, historical information for each of these Funds is available only since the applicable date above. Past
performance should not be considered indicative of future performance.
• THE ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION FOR THE FUNDS IS LIMITED -
The calculation agent will make adjustments to the Share Adjustment Factor for each Fund for certain events affecting the shares
of that Fund. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment in response to all events that could affect the shares of
the Funds. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to make an adjustment, the value of the notes may be
materially and adversely affected.

The Funds
The iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of bitcoin before
the payment of its expenses and liabilities. The assets of the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF consist primarily of bitcoin held by the bitcoin
custodian on behalf of the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF. For additional information about the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF, see Annex A
below.
The iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of ether
before the payment of its expenses and liabilities. The assets of the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF consist primarily of ether held by the
ether custodian on behalf of the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF. For additional information about the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF, see
Annex B below.
Historical Information
The following graphs set forth (i) the historical performance of the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF based on the weekly historical closing
prices of one share of that Fund from January 12, 2024 through February 13, 2026 and (ii) the historical performance of the iShares®
Ethereum Trust ETF based on the weekly historical closing prices of one share of that Fund from July 26, 2024 through February 13,
2026. The iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF commenced trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market on January 11, 2024 and the iShares®
Ethereum Trust ETF commenced trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market on July 23, 2024 and therefore each has limited historical
performance. The closing price of one share of the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF on February 13, 2026 was $38.97. The closing price of
one share of the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF on February 13, 2026 was $15.44. We obtained the closing prices above and below
from the Bloomberg Professional® service ("Bloomberg"), without independent verification. The closing prices above and below may
have been adjusted by Bloomberg for actions taken by the Funds, such as stock splits.
The historical closing prices of one share of each Fund should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance
can be given as to the closing price of one share of either Fund on the Pricing Date or any Review Date. There can be no assurance
that the performance of the Funds will result in the return of any of your principal amount in excess of $400.00 per $1,000 principal
amount note, subject to the credit risks of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., or the payment of any interest.

Tax Treatment
You should review carefully the section entitled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the accompanying product
supplement no. 4-I. 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 the section entitled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences - Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders - Notes
Treated as Prepaid Forward Contracts with Associated Contingent Coupons" in the accompanying product supplement. 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 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. The discussions above and in the accompanying
product supplement do not address the consequences to taxpayers subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the
Code. 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 the notice described above.
Non-U.S. Holders - Tax Considerations. The U.S. federal income tax treatment of Contingent Interest Payments is uncertain, and
although we believe it is reasonable to take a position that Contingent Interest Payments are not subject to U.S. withholding tax (at least
if an applicable Form W-8 is provided), it is expected that withholding agents will (and we, if we are the withholding agent, intend to)
withhold on any Contingent Interest Payment paid to a Non-U.S. Holder generally at a rate of 30% or at a reduced rate specified by an
applicable income tax treaty under an "other income" or similar provision. We will not be required to pay any additional amounts with
respect to amounts withheld. In order to claim an exemption from, or a reduction in, the 30% withholding tax, a Non-U.S. Holder of the
notes must comply with certification requirements to establish that it is not a U.S. person and is eligible for such an exemption or
reduction under an applicable tax treaty. If you are a Non-U.S. Holder, you should consult your tax adviser regarding the tax treatment
of the notes, including the possibility of obtaining a refund of any withholding tax and the certification requirement described above.
In the event of any withholding on the notes, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so withheld.
The Estimated Value of the Notes
The estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement is equal to the sum of the values of the following
hypothetical components: (1) a fixed-income debt component with the same maturity as the notes, valued using the internal funding
rate described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes. The estimated value of the
notes does not represent a minimum price at which JPMS would be willing to buy your notes in any secondary market (if any exists) at
any time. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied
PS-14 | Structured Investments
Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes Linked to the Lesser Performing of
the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF and the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF
funding rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference
may be based on, among other things, our and our affiliates' 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 the conventional fixed income
instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions, which may prove
to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use of an internal
funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any secondary market
prices of the notes. For additional information, see "Selected Risk Considerations - Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes - The Estimated Value of the Notes Is Derived by Reference to an Internal Funding Rate" in this
pricing supplement.
The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes is derived from internal pricing models of our
affiliates. These models are dependent on inputs such as the traded market prices of comparable derivative instruments and on
various other inputs, some of which are market-observable, and which can include volatility, interest rates and other factors, as well as
assumptions about future market events and/or environments. Accordingly, the estimated value of the notes is determined when the
terms of the notes are set based on market conditions and other relevant factors and assumptions existing at that time.
The estimated value of the notes does not represent future values of the notes and may differ from others' estimates. Different pricing
models and assumptions could provide valuations for the notes that are greater than or less than the estimated value of the notes. 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 or
JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s 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.
The estimated value of the notes will be lower than the original issue price of the notes 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
paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, 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. Because
hedging our obligations entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging may result in a profit that
is more or less than expected, or it may result in a loss. A portion of the profits, if any, realized in hedging our obligations under the
notes may be allowed to other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, and we or one or more of our affiliates will retain any remaining hedging
profits. See "Selected Risk Considerations - Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes - The
Estimated Value of the Notes Will Be Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to Public) of the Notes" in this pricing supplement.
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes
For information about factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the notes, see "Risk Factors - Risks Relating to the
Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes - Secondary market prices of the notes will be impacted by many
economic and market factors" in the accompanying product supplement. In addition, 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 selling commissions,
projected hedging profits, if any, and, in some circumstances, estimated hedging costs and our internal secondary market funding rates
for structured debt issuances. This initial predetermined time period is intended to be the shorter of six months and one-half of the
stated term of the notes. The length of any such initial period reflects the structure of the notes, whether our affiliates expect to earn a
profit in connection with our hedging activities, the estimated costs of hedging the notes and when these costs are incurred, as
determined by our affiliates. See "Selected Risk Considerations - Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices
of the Notes - The Value of the Notes as Published by JPMS (and Which May Be Reflected on Customer Account Statements) May
Be Higher Than the Then-Current Estimated Value of the Notes for a Limited Time Period" in this pricing supplement.
Supplemental Use of Proceeds
The notes are offered to meet investor demand for products that reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the
notes. See "How the Notes Work" and "Hypothetical Payout Examples" in this pricing supplement for an illustration of the risk-return
profile of the notes and "The Funds" in this pricing supplement for a description of the market exposure provided by the notes.
The original issue price of the notes is equal to the estimated value of the notes plus the selling commissions paid to JPMS and other
affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, plus (minus) the projected profits (losses) that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent
in hedging our obligations under the notes, plus the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes.

Annex A
The iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF
All information contained in this pricing supplement regarding the iShares® Bitcoin Trust ETF (the "IBIT Fund") has been derived from
publicly available information, without independent verification. This information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, the
sponsor of the IBIT Fund, iShares Delaware Trust Sponsor LLC ("iShares Delaware"), an indirect subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc.
BlackRock Fund Advisors, a California corporation that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., is the trustee of the IBIT Fund.
The Bank of New York Mellon is the cash custodian of the IBIT Fund and Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC is the bitcoin
custodian of the IBIT Fund. The IBIT Fund is an investment trust that trades on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol
"IBIT."
The IBIT Fund seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of bitcoin before the payment of its expenses and liabilities. The
assets of the IBIT Fund consist primarily of bitcoin held by the bitcoin custodian on behalf of the IBIT Fund. The IBIT Fund issues blocks
of shares in exchange for deposits of bitcoin and distributes bitcoin in connection with the redemption of blocks of shares. The shares
of the IBIT Fund are intended to constitute a simple and cost-effective means of making an investment similar to an investment in
bitcoin. The shares of the IBIT Fund represent units of fractional undivided beneficial interest in and ownership of the IBIT Fund. The
IBIT Fund is a passive investment vehicle that does not seek to generate returns beyond tracking the price of bitcoin and the sponsor of
the IBIT Fund does not actively manage the bitcoin held by the IBIT Fund. The trustee of the IBIT Fund sells bitcoin held by the IBIT
Fund to pay the IBIT Fund's expenses on an as-needed basis irrespective of then-current bitcoin prices.
Currently, the IBIT Fund's only ordinary recurring expense is expected to be iShares Delaware's fee, which is accrued daily at an
annualized rate equal to 0.25% of the net asset value of the IBIT Fund and is payable at least quarterly in arrears. The trustee of the
IBIT Fund will, when directed by iShares Delaware, and, in the absence of such direction, may, in its discretion, sell bitcoin in such
quantity and at such times as may be necessary to permit payment of iShares Delaware's fee and of expenses or liabilities of the IBIT
Fund not assumed by iShares Delaware. As a result of the recurring sales of bitcoin necessary to pay the IBIT Fund sponsor's fee and
the IBIT Fund expenses or liabilities not assumed by the IBIT Fund sponsor, the net asset value of the IBIT Fund and, correspondingly,
the fractional amount of bitcoin represented by each share will decrease over the life of the IBIT Fund. New deposits of bitcoin, received
in exchange for additional new issuances of shares by the IBIT Fund, do not reverse this trend.
Information provided to or filed with the SEC by the IBIT Fund pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, can be located by reference to SEC file numbers 333-272680 and 001-41914, respectively,
through the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov. The IBIT Fund is not a mutual fund or any other type of investment company within
the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and is not subject to regulation thereunder. The IBIT Fund is not a
commodity pool for purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as amended, and is not subject to regulation thereunder, and
iShares Delaware is not subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as a commodity pool operator or a
commodity trading advisor.
Bitcoin
Bitcoin is a digital asset the ownership and behavior of which are determined by participants in an online, peer-to-peer network that
connects computers that run publicly accessible, or "open source," software that follows the rules and procedures governing the bitcoin
network, commonly referred to as the bitcoin protocol. The value of bitcoin, like the value of other digital assets, is not backed by any
government, corporation or other identified body. Ownership and the ability to transfer or take other actions with respect to bitcoin are
protected through public-key cryptography. The supply of bitcoin is constrained or formulated by its protocol instead of being explicitly
delegated to an identified body (e.g., a central bank) to control. Units of bitcoin, called tokens, are treated as fungible. Bitcoin and
certain other types of digital assets are often referred to as digital currencies or cryptocurrencies. No single entity owns or operates the
bitcoin network, the infrastructure of which is collectively maintained by (1) a decentralized group of participants who run computer
software that results in the recording and validation of transactions (commonly referred to as "miners"), (2) developers who propose
improvements to the bitcoin protocol and the software that enforces the protocol and (3) users who choose what bitcoin software to run.
Bitcoin was released in 2009 and, as a result, there is little data on its long-term investment potential. Bitcoin is not backed by a
government-issued legal tender or any other currency or asset. Bitcoin is "stored" or reflected on a digital transaction ledger commonly
known as a "blockchain." A blockchain is a type of shared and continually reconciled database, stored in a decentralized manner on the
computers of certain users of the digital asset. Bitcoin is created by "mining." Mining involves miners using a sophisticated computer
program to repeatedly solve very complex mathematical problems on specialized computer hardware. Miners can be bitcoin
enthusiasts but increasingly are professional mining operations that design and build dedicated machines and data centers as the
computing power required to solve the problem continues to increase significantly.

Annex B
The iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF
All information contained in this pricing supplement regarding the iShares® Ethereum Trust ETF (the "ETHA Fund") has been derived
from publicly available information, without independent verification. This information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change
by, the sponsor of the ETHA Fund, iShares Delaware Trust Sponsor LLC ("iShares Delaware"), an indirect subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc.
BlackRock Fund Advisors, a California corporation that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., is the trustee of the ETHA
Fund. The Bank of New York Mellon is the cash custodian of the ETHA Fund and Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC is the ether
custodian of the ETHA Fund. The ETHA Fund is an investment trust that trades on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol
"ETHA."
The ETHA Fund seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of ether before the payment of its expenses and liabilities. The
assets of the ETHA Fund consist primarily of ether held by the ether custodian on behalf of the ETHA Fund. The ETHA Fund issues
blocks of shares in exchange for deposits of ether or cash. The shares of the ETHA Fund are intended to constitute a simple and cost-
effective means of making an investment similar to an investment in ether. The shares of the ETHA Fund represent units of fractional
undivided beneficial interest in and ownership of the ETHA Fund. The ETHA Fund is a passive investment vehicle that does not seek
to generate returns beyond tracking the price of ether and the sponsor of the ETHA Fund does not actively manage the ether held by
the ETHA Fund. The trustee of the ETHA Fund sells ether held by the ETHA Fund to pay the ETHA Fund's expenses on an as-needed
basis irrespective of then-current ether prices.
Currently, the ETHA Fund's only ordinary recurring expense is expected to be iShares Delaware's fee, which is accrued daily at an
annualized rate equal to 0.25% of the net asset value of the ETHA Fund and is payable at least quarterly in arrears. The trustee of the
ETHA Fund will, when directed by iShares Delaware, and, in the absence of such direction, may, in its discretion, sell ether in such
quantity and at such times as may be necessary to permit payment of iShares Delaware's fee and of expenses or liabilities of the ETHA
Fund not assumed by iShares Delaware. As a result of the recurring sales of ether necessary to pay the ETHA Fund sponsor's fee and
the ETHA Fund expenses or liabilities not assumed by the ETHA Fund sponsor, the net asset value of the ETHA Fund and,
correspondingly, the fractional amount of ether represented by each share will decrease over the life of the ETHA Fund. New deposits
of ether, received in exchange for additional new issuances of shares by the ETHA Fund, do not reverse this trend.
Information provided to or filed with the SEC by the ETHA Fund pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, can be located by reference to SEC file numbers 333-275583 and 001-42166, respectively,
through the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov. The ETHA Fund is not a mutual fund or any other type of investment company within
the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and is not subject to regulation thereunder. The ETHA Fund is not
a commodity pool for purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as amended, and is not subject to regulation thereunder, and
iShares Delaware is not subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as a commodity pool operator or a
commodity trading advisor.
Ether
Ether is a digital asset, the ownership and behavior of which are determined by participants in an online, peer-to-peer network that
connects computers that run publicly accessible, or "open source," software that follows the rules and procedures governing the
ethereum network. The value of ether, like the value of other digital assets, is not backed by any government, corporation or other
identified body. Ownership and the ability to transfer or take other actions with respect to ether are protected through public-key
cryptography. The supply of ether is constrained or formulated by its protocol instead of being explicitly delegated to an identified body
(e.g., a central bank) to control. Unlike certain digital assets, such as bitcoin, there is no hard cap on the supply of ether. Units of
ether, called tokens, are treated as fungible. Ether and certain other types of digital assets are often referred to as digital currencies or
cryptocurrencies. No single entity owns or operates the ethereum network, the infrastructure of which is collectively maintained by (1) a
decentralized group of participants who run computer software that results in the recording and validation of transactions (commonly
referred to as "validators"), (2) developers who propose improvements to the ethereum network's underlying protocol and the software
that enforces the protocol and (3) users who choose what ethereum network software to run.
Ether was released in 2015 and, as a result, there is little data on its long-term investment potential. Ether is not backed by a
government-issued legal tender or any other currency or asset. Ether is "stored" or reflected on a digital transaction ledger commonly
known as a "blockchain." A blockchain is a type of shared and continually reconciled database, stored in a decentralized manner on
the computers of certain users of the digital asset. The ethereum network has undergone a number of significant changes since its
release, including the transition from a proof-of-work consensus mechanism (where network participants engaged in prescribed,
complex mathematical calculations to add blocks containing transactions to the blockchain) to a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism.
Under the proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, validators risk or "stake" their ether to compete to be randomly selected to validate
transactions and are rewarded ether in proportion to the amount of ether staked. Malicious activity, such as validating multiple blocks,

disagreeing with the eventual consensus or otherwise violating protocol rules, can result in the forfeiture of a portion of the staked ether.
The ETHA Fund is not permitted to stake its ether and is therefore not generating income or other earnings from staking. To the extent
the ETHA Fund were to begin staking its ether, such staking may introduce new risks involving security risks, regulatory risks and
operational risks.
