Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due November 25, 2020

All Payments on the Securities Based on the Worst Performing of the Financial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund and the Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund
Principal at Risk Securities

Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities do not guarantee the payment of interest or the repayment of principal.  Instead, the securities offer the opportunity for investors to earn a contingent quarterly payment equal to 1.8625% of the stated principal amount with respect to each determination date on which the closing price of one ETF Share of each of the Financial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund and the Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund is greater than or equal to 75% of its initial share price, which we refer to as a downside threshold level.  However, if on any determination date, the closing price of one ETF Share of either ETF is less than its downside threshold level, you will not receive any contingent quarterly payment for the related quarterly period.  In addition, if the closing price of one ETF Share of each ETF is greater than or equal to its initial share price on any determination date (other than the first, second, third and final determination dates), the securities will be automatically redeemed for an amount per security equal to the stated principal amount plus the contingent quarterly payment. If the securities have not been automatically redeemed prior to maturity and the final share price of each ETF is greater than or equal to its downside threshold level, the payment at maturity due on the securities will be the stated principal amount and the contingent quarterly payment with respect to the final determination date.

If, however, the securities have not been automatically redeemed prior to maturity and the final share price of either ETF is less than its downside threshold level, you will be exposed to the decline in the worst performing ETF, as compared to its initial share price, on a 1-to-1 basis and will receive a cash payment at maturity that is less than 75% of the stated principal amount of the securities and could be zero. The securities are for investors who are willing to risk their principal and seek an opportunity to earn interest at a potentially above-market rate in exchange for the risk of receiving few or no contingent quarterly payments and also the risk of receiving a cash payment at maturity that is significantly less than the stated principal amount of the securities and could be zero.  Accordingly, investors could lose their entire initial investment in the securities.  Because all payments on the securities are based on the worst performing of the ETFs, a decline beyond the downside threshold level of either ETF will result in few or no contingent quarterly payments and/or a significant loss of your initial investment, even if the other ETF appreciates or has not declined as much.  Investors will not participate in any appreciation of either ETF. The securities are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co., issued as part of JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s Medium-Term Notes, Series E, program.  Any payment on the securities is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Investment Summary

The Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due November 25, 2020 Based on the Worst Performing of the Financial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund and the Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund , which we refer to as the securities, do not provide for the regular payment of interest. Instead, the securities provide an opportunity for investors to earn a contingent quarterly payment, which is an amount equal to $0.1863 (1.8625% of the stated principal amount) per security, with respect to each quarterly determination date on which closing price of one ETF Share of each ETF is greater than or equal to 75% of its initial share price, which we refer to as a downside threshold level. The contingent quarterly payment, if any, will be payable quarterly on the relevant contingent payment date, which is the third business day after the related determination date or, in the case of the contingent quarterly payment, if any, with respect to the final determination date, the maturity date. If the closing price of one ETF Share of either ETF is less than its downside threshold level on any determination date, investors will receive no contingent quarterly payment for the related quarterly period. It is possible that the closing price of one ETF Share of each ETF could be below its downside threshold level on most or all of the determination dates so that you will receive few or no contingent quarterly payments during the term of the securities. We refer to these payments as contingent, because there is no guarantee that you will receive a payment on any contingent payment date. Even if both of the ETFs were to be at or above their respective downside threshold levels on some quarterly determination dates, one or both ETFs may fluctuate below their respective downside threshold level(s) on others.

If the closing price of one ETF share of each ETF is greater than or equal to its initial share price on any determination date (other than the first, second, third and final determination dates), the securities will be automatically redeemed for an early redemption payment equal to the stated principal amount plus the contingent quarterly payment with respect to the related determination date. If the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final share price of each ETF is greater than or equal to its downside threshold level, the payment at maturity will be the sum of the stated principal amount and the contingent quarterly payment with respect to the final determination date. However, if the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final share price of either ETF is less than its downside threshold level, investors will be exposed to the decline in the worst performing ETF, as compared to its initial share price, on a 1-to-1 basis. Under these circumstances, the payment at maturity will be (i) the stated principal amount times (ii) the ETF performance factor of the worst performing ETF, which will be less than 75% of the stated principal amount of the securities and could be zero. Investors in the securities must be willing to accept the risk of losing their entire principal and also the risk of receiving few or no contingent quarterly payments over the term of the securities. In addition, investors will not participate in any appreciation of the ETFs.

 

Supplemental Terms of the Securities

For purposes of the accompanying product supplement, each ETF is a “Fund.”

Principal at Risk Securities

Key Investment Rationale

The securities do not provide for the regular payment of interest. Instead, the securities offer investors an opportunity to earn a contingent quarterly payment equal to 1.8625% of the stated principal amount with respect to each determination date on which the closing price of one ETF Share of each ETF is greater than or equal to 75% of its initial share price, which we refer to as a downside threshold level. The securities may be redeemed prior to maturity for the stated principal amount per security plus the applicable contingent quarterly payment, and the payment at maturity will vary depending on the final share price of each ETF, as follows:

Scenario 1	This scenario assumes that, prior to early redemption, each ETF closes at or above its downside threshold level on some determination dates but one or both of the ETFs closes below their respective downside threshold levels on the others. On the 18th determination date, the closing price of one ETF Share of each ETF is greater than or equal to its initial share price. Investors receive the contingent quarterly payment for the quarterly periods in which the closing price of one ETF Share of each ETF is at or above its downside threshold level on the related determination date. On the contingent payment date immediately following the 18th determination date, the securities will be automatically redeemed for the stated principal amount plus the contingent quarterly payment with respect to the related determination date.
Scenario 2	This scenario assumes that each ETF closes at or above its downside threshold level on some determination dates but one or both of the ETFs closes below their respective downside threshold levels on the others, and each ETF closes below its initial share price on all the determination dates (other than the first, second and third determination dates) prior to the final determination date. On the final determination date, each ETF closes at or above its downside threshold level. Consequently, the securities are not automatically redeemed, and investors receive a contingent quarterly payment for the quarterly periods in which the closing price of one ETF Share of each ETF is at or above its downside threshold level on the related determination date. At maturity, investors will receive the stated principal amount and the contingent quarterly payment with respect to the final determination date.
Scenario 3	This scenario assumes that each ETF closes at or above its downside threshold level on some determination dates but one or both of the ETFs closes below their respective downside threshold levels on the others, and each ETF closes below its initial share price on all the determination dates (other than the first, second and third determination dates) prior to the final determination date. On the final determination date, one or both of the ETFs close below their respective downside threshold levels. Consequently, the securities are not automatically redeemed, and investors receive a contingent quarterly payment for the quarterly periods in which the closing price of one ETF Share of each ETF is at or above its downside threshold level on the related determination date. At maturity, investors will receive the stated principal amount times the ETF performance factor of the worst performing ETF, which will be less than 75% of the stated principal amount and could be zero. Investors will lose some, and may lose all, of their principal in this scenario.

Hypothetical Examples

The following hypothetical examples illustrate how to determine whether a contingent quarterly payment is payable with respect to a determination date, whether the securities will be automatically redeemed on any determination date prior to the final determination date and how to calculate the payment at maturity if the securities have not been redeemed early. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only. Whether you receive a contingent quarterly payment or whether the securities will be automatically redeemed will be determined by reference to the closing price of one ETF Share of each ETF on each quarterly determination date and the amount you will receive at maturity, if any, will be determined by reference to the final share price of each ETF. The actual initial share price and downside threshold level for each ETF will be provided in the pricing supplement. All payments on the securities, if any, are subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co. The numbers in the hypothetical examples below may have been rounded for the ease of analysis. The examples below are based on the following assumed terms:

Contingent quarterly payment:	A contingent quarterly payment of $0.1863 per quarter per security will be paid on the securities on each contingent payment date but only if the closing price of one ETF Share of each ETF is at or above its downside threshold level on the related determination date.
Early redemption:	If the closing price of one ETF Share of each ETF is greater than or equal to its initial share price on any quarterly determination date (other than the first, second, third and final determination dates), the securities will be automatically redeemed for an early redemption payment equal to the stated principal amount plus the contingent quarterly payment with respect to the related determination date.
Payment at maturity (if the securities have not been automatically redeemed early):	If the final share price of each ETF is greater than or equal to its downside threshold level: the stated principal amount and the contingent quarterly payment with respect to the final determination date If the final share price of either ETF is less than its downside threshold level: (i) the stated principal amount times (ii) the ETF performance factor of the worst performing ETF
Stated principal amount:	$10 per security
Hypothetical initial share price:	With respect to the XLF ETF: $25.00 With respect to the XLI ETF : $55.00
Hypothetical downside threshold level:	With respect to the XLF ETF: $18.75, which is 75% of its hypothetical initial share price With respect to the XLI ETF : $41.25, which is 75% of its hypothetical initial share price

How to determine whether a contingent quarterly payment is payable with respect to a determination date:

	Closing Price		Contingent quarterly payment
	XLF ETF	XLI ETF
Hypothetical Determination Date 1	$20 (at or above downside threshold level)	$50 (at or above downside threshold level)	$0.1863
Hypothetical Determination Date 2	$15 (below downside threshold level)	$45 (at or above downside threshold level)	$0
Hypothetical Determination Date 3	$20 (at or above downside threshold level)	$35 (below downside threshold level)	$0
Hypothetical Determination Date 4	$10 (below downside threshold level)	$35 (below downside threshold level)	$0

 

On hypothetical determination date 1, each ETF closes at or above its downside threshold level. Therefore, a contingent quarterly payment of $0.1863 is payable on the relevant contingent payment date.

On each of the hypothetical determination dates 2 and 3, one ETF closes at or above its downside threshold level but the other ETF closes below its downside threshold level. Therefore, no contingent quarterly payment is payable on the relevant contingent payment date.

On hypothetical determination date 4, each ETF closes below its downside threshold level and, accordingly, no contingent quarterly payment is payable on the relevant contingent payment date.

You will not receive a contingent quarterly payment on any contingent payment date if the closing price of one ETF Share of either ETF is below its downside threshold level on the related determination date.

How to determine whether the securities will be automatically redeemed on any determination date prior to the final determination date:

	Closing Price		Early Redemption Payment
	XLF ETF	XLI ETF
Hypothetical Determination Date 1	$35 (at or above initial share price)	$65 (at or above initial share price)	n/a (securities are not redeemed early)
Hypothetical Determination Date 2	$30 (at or above initial share price)	$50 (below initial share price)	n/a (securities are not redeemed early)
Hypothetical Determination Date 3	$20 (below initial share price)	$60 (at or above initial share price)	n/a (securities are not redeemed early)
Hypothetical Determination Date 4	$30 (at or above initial share price)	$50 (below initial share price)	n/a (securities are not redeemed early)
Hypothetical Determination Date 5	$20 (below initial share price)	$50 (below initial share price)	n/a (securities are not redeemed early)
Hypothetical Determination Date 6	$35 (at or above initial share price)	$65 (at or above initial share price)	$10.1863 (the stated principal amount plus the contingent quarterly payment with respect to

the related determination date)

 

On each of hypothetical determination dates 1, 2 and 3, the securities are not automatically redeemable even though each ETF closes above its initial share price on hypothetical determination date 1.

On hypothetical determination date 4, one ETF closes at or above its initial share price but the other ETF close below its initial share price. Therefore, the securities remain outstanding and are not redeemed early.

On hypothetical determination date 5, each ETF closes below its initial share price. Therefore, the securities remain outstanding and are not redeemed early.

On hypothetical determination date 6, each ETF closes at or above its initial share price. Therefore, the securities are automatically redeemed and you receive an early redemption payment equal to the stated principal amount plus the contingent quarterly payment with respect to the related determination date. No further payments will be made on the securities once they have been redeemed.

How to calculate the payment at maturity (if the securities have not been automatically redeemed early):

	Final Share Price		Payment at Maturity
	XLF ETF	XLI ETF
Example 1:	$20 (at or above downside threshold level)	$45 (at or above downside threshold level)	$10.1863 (the stated principal amount plus the contingent quarterly payment with respect to the final determination date)
Example 2:	$10 (below downside threshold level)	$45 (at or above downside threshold level)	$10 × ETF performance factor of the worst performing ETF = $10 × ($10/$25) = $4.00
Example 3:	$20 (at or above downside threshold level)	$27.50 (below downside threshold level)	$10 × ($27.50/$55) = $5.00
Example 4:	$15 (below downside threshold level)	$22 (below downside threshold level)	$10 × ($22/$55) = $4.00
Example 5:	$7.50 (below downside threshold level)	$30 (below downside threshold level)	$10 × ($7.50/$25) = $3.00

In example 1, the final share price of each ETF is at or above its downside threshold level. Therefore, you receive at maturity the stated principal amount of the securities and the contingent quarterly payment with respect to the final determination date.

In examples 2 and 3, the final share price of one ETF is at or above its downside threshold level but the final share price of the other ETF is below its downside threshold level. Therefore, you are exposed to the downside performance of the worst performing ETF at maturity and receive a cash payment at maturity equal to the stated principal amount times the ETF performance factor of the worst performing ETF.

Similarly, in examples 4 and 5, the final share price of each ETF is below its downside threshold level, and you receive a cash payment at maturity equal to the stated principal amount times the ETF performance factor of the worst performing ETF.

If the final share price of EITHER ETF is below its downside threshold level, you will be exposed to the downside performance of the worst performing ETF Share at maturity, and your payment at maturity will be less than 75% of the stated principal amount per security and could be zero.

Risk Factors

The following is a non-exhaustive list of certain key risk factors for investors in the securities. For further discussion of these and other risks, you should read the sections entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page PS-8 of the accompanying product supplement no. 4a-I and “Risk Factors” beginning on page US-2 of the accompanying underlying supplement no. 1a-I. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers in connection with your investment in the securities.

§

The securities do not guarantee the return of any principal and your investment in the securities may result in a loss. The terms of the securities differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that the securities do not guarantee the return of any of the principal amount at maturity. Instead, if the securities have not been automatically redeemed prior to maturity and if the final share price of either of the ETFs is less than its downside threshold level, you will be exposed to the decline in the closing price of one ETF Share of the worst performing ETF, as compared to its initial share price, on a 1-to-1 basis and you will receive for each security that you hold at maturity a cash payment equal to the stated principal amount times the ETF performance factor of the worst performing ETF. In this case, your payment at maturity will be less than 75% of the stated principal amount and could be zero.

§

You will not receive any contingent quarterly payment for any quarterly period where the closing price of one ETF Share of either ETF on the relevant determination date is less than its downside threshold level. The terms of the securities differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that the securities do not guarantee the payment of regular interest. Instead, a contingent quarterly payment will be made with respect to a quarterly period only if the closing price one ETF Share of each ETF on the relevant determination date is greater than or equal to its downside threshold level. If the closing price of one ETF Share of either ETF is below its downside threshold level on any determination date, you will not receive a contingent quarterly payment for the relevant quarterly period. It is possible that the closing price of one ETF Share of each ETF could be below its downside threshold level on most or all of the determination dates so that you will receive few or no contingent quarterly payments. If you do not earn sufficient contingent quarterly payments over the term of the securities, the overall return on the securities may be less than the amount that would be paid on a conventional debt security of the issuer of comparable maturity.

§

The contingent quarterly payment is based solely on the closing prices of one ETF Share of the ETFs on the specified determination dates. Whether the contingent quarterly payment will be made with respect to a determination date will be based on the closing prices of one ETF Share of each ETF on that determination date. As a result, you will not know whether you will receive the contingent quarterly payment until the related determination date. Moreover, because the contingent quarterly payment is based solely on the closing price of one ETF Share of each ETF on a specific determination date, if the closing price of one ETF Share of either of the ETFs on that determination date is below its downside threshold level, you will not receive any contingent quarterly payment with respect to that determination date, even if the closing price of one ETF Share of that ETF was higher on other days during the related quarterly period.

§

You are exposed to the price risk of both ETFs, with respect to both the contingent quarterly payments, if any, and the payment at maturity, if any. Your return on the securities is not linked to a basket consisting of the ETFs. Rather, it will be contingent upon the independent performance of each ETF. Unlike an instrument with a return linked to a basket of underlying assets in which risk is mitigated and diversified among all the components of the basket, you will be exposed to the risks related to each ETF. The performance of the ETFs may not be correlated. Poor performance by either ETF over the term of the securities may negatively affect your return and will not be offset or mitigated by any positive performance by the other ETF. Accordingly, your investment is subject to the risk of decline in the closing price of one ETF Share of each ETF.

To receive any contingent quarterly payments, each ETF must close at or above its downside threshold level on the applicable determination date. In addition, if either ETF has declined to below its downside threshold level as of the final determination date, you will be fully exposed to the decline in the worst performing ETF, as compared to its initial share price, on a 1-to-1 basis, even if the other ETF has appreciated. Under this scenario, the value of any such payment will be less than 75% of the stated principal amount and could be zero.

§

Because the securities are linked to the performance of the worst performing ETF, you are exposed to greater risks of no contingent quarterly payments and sustaining a significant loss on your investment than if the securities were linked to just one ETF. The risk that you will not receive any contingent quarterly payments, or that you will suffer a significant loss on your investment is greater if you invest in the securities than if you invest in substantially similar securities that are linked to the performance of just one ETF. With two ETFs, it is more likely that either ETF will close below its downside threshold level on any determination date than if the securities were linked to only one ETF. In addition, you will not benefit from the performance of the ETF that is not the worst performing ETF. Therefore it is more likely that you will not receive any contingent quarterly payments and that you will suffer a significant loss on your investment.

If we were to default on our payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the securities and you could lose your entire investment.

§

Investors will not participate in any appreciation in either ETF. Investors will not participate in any appreciation in either ETF from its initial share price, and the return on the securities will be limited to the contingent quarterly payment that is paid with respect to each determination date on which the closing price of one ETF Share of each ETF is greater than or equal to its downside threshold level, if any.

§

Early redemption risk. The term of your investment in the securities may be limited to as short as approximately one year by the automatic early redemption feature of the securities. If the securities are redeemed prior to maturity, you will receive no more contingent quarterly payments and may be forced to reinvest in a lower interest rate environment and may not be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the securities at a comparable return for a similar level of risk.

§

Economic interests of the issuer, the calculation agent, the agent of the offering of the securities and other affiliates of the issuer may be different from those of investors. We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the securities, including acting as calculation agent and as an agent of the offering of the securities, hedging our obligations under the securities and making the assumptions used to determine the pricing of the securities and the estimated value of the securities, which we refer to as JPMS’s estimated value. 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 securities. The calculation agent has determined the initial share prices and the downside threshold levels and will determine the final share prices and whether the closing price of one ETF Share of each ETF on any determination date is greater than or equal to its initial share price or is below its downside threshold level, as applicable. Determinations made by the calculation agent, including with respect to the occurrence or non-occurrence of market disruption events, may affect the payment to you at maturity or whether the securities are redeemed early.

In addition, we are currently one of the companies that make up the XLF ETF. We will not have any obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the securities in taking any corporate action that might affect the value of the XLF ETF or the securities.

Moreover, our business activities, including hedging and trading activities, could cause our economic interests to be adverse to yours and could adversely affect any payment on the securities and the value of the securities. It is possible that hedging or trading activities of ours or our affiliates in connection with the securities could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the securities declines. Please refer to “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest” in the accompanying product supplement no. 4a-I for additional information about these risks.

§

JPMS’s estimated value of the securities is lower than the original issue price (price to public) of the securities. JPMS’s estimated value is only an estimate using several factors. The original issue price of the securities exceeds JPMS’s estimated value because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the securities are included in the original issue price of the securities. These costs include the selling commissions, the structuring fee, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the securities and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the securities. See “Additional Information about the Securities — JPMS’s estimated value of the securities” in this document.

§

JPMS’s estimated value does not represent future values of the securities and may differ from others’ estimates. JPMS’s estimated value of the securities is determined by reference to JPMS’s internal pricing models. This estimated value is based on market conditions and other relevant factors existing at the time of pricing and JPMS’s assumptions about market parameters, which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors. Different pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations for securities that are greater than or less than JPMS’s estimated value. 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 securities could change significantly based on, among other things, changes in market conditions, our creditworthiness, interest rate movements and other relevant factors, which may impact the price, if any, at which JPMS would be willing to buy securities from you in secondary market transactions. See “Additional Information about the Securities — JPMS’s estimated value of the securities” in this document.

§

JPMS’s estimated value is not determined by reference to credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. The internal funding rate used in the determination of JPMS’s estimated value generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. The discount is based on, among other things, our view of the funding value of the securities as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the securities in comparison to those costs for our conventional fixed-rate debt. If JPMS were to use the interest rate implied by our conventional fixed-rate credit spreads, we would expect the economic terms of the securities to be more favorable to you. In addition, JPMS’s estimated value might be lower if it were based on the interest rate implied by our conventional fixed-rate credit spreads. Consequently, our use of an internal funding rate would have an adverse effect on the terms of the securities and any secondary market prices of the securities. See “Additional Information about the Securities — JPMS’s estimated value of the securities” in this document.

§

The value of the securities as published by JPMS (and which may be reflected on customer account statements) may be higher than JPMS’s then-current estimated value of the securities for a limited time period. We generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the securities will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your securities by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period. These costs can include selling commissions, the structuring fee, projected hedging profits, if any, and, in some circumstances, estimated hedging costs and our secondary market credit spreads for structured debt issuances. See “Additional Information about the Securities — Secondary market prices of the securities” in this document for additional information relating to this initial period. Accordingly, the estimated value of your securities during this initial period may be lower than the value of the securities as published by JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer account statements).

§

Secondary market prices of the securities will likely be lower than the original issue price of the securities. Any secondary market prices of the securities will likely be lower than the original issue price of the securities because, among other things, secondary market prices take into account our secondary market credit spreads for structured debt issuances and, also, because secondary market prices (a) exclude selling commissions and the structuring fee and (b) may exclude projected hedging profits, if any, and estimated hedging costs that are included in the original issue price of the securities. As a result, the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy securities 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. See the immediately following risk factor for information about additional factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the securities.

The securities are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your securities to maturity. See “— Secondary trading may be limited” below.

§

Secondary market prices of the securities will be impacted by many economic and market factors.  The secondary market price of the securities 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, structuring fee, projected hedging profits, if any, estimated hedging costs and the price of each ETF, including:

o

any actual or potential change in our creditworthiness or credit spreads;

o

customary bid-ask spreads for similarly sized trades;

o

secondary market credit spreads for structured debt issuances;

o

the actual and expected volatility in the prices of each ETF;

o

the time to maturity of the securities;

o

whether the closing price of one ETF Share of either ETF has been, or is expected to be, less than its downside threshold level on any determination date;

o

the likelihood of an early redemption being triggered;

o

the dividend rates on the ETFS and the equity securities held by the ETFs;

o

the actual and expected positive or negative correlation between the ETFs, or the actual or expected absence of any such correlation;

o

interest and yield rates in the market generally;

o

the occurrence of certain events affecting an ETF that may or may not require an adjustment to its share adjustment factor; and

o

a variety of other economic, financial, political, regulatory and judicial events.

Additionally, independent pricing vendors and/or third party broker-dealers may publish a price for the securities, which may also be reflected on customer account statements. This price may be different (higher or lower) than the price of the securities, if any, at which JPMS may be willing to purchase your securities in the secondary market.

§

Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the ETF Shares. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the ETF Shares, the indices tracked by the ETFs, each of which we refer to as an underlying index, or the stocks held by the ETFs or the underlying indices. Investors in the securities will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the ETF Shares, the reference indices or the stocks held by the ETFs or the underlying indices.

§

Adjustments to the ETFs or the underlying indices could adversely affect the value of the securities. Those responsible for calculating and maintaining the ETFs and the underlying indices can add, delete or substitute the components of the ETFs or the underlying indices, or make other methodological changes that could change the value of the ETF Shares or the underlying indices. Any of these actions could adversely affect the price of the ETF Shares and, consequently, the value of the securities.

§

There are risks associated with the ETFs. Although the ETF Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. and a number of similar products have been traded on various national securities exchanges for varying periods of time, there is no assurance that an active trading market will continue for the ETF Shares or that there will be liquidity in the trading market. The ETFs are subject to management risk, which is the risk that the investment strategy of the respective investment advisers to the ETFs, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. These constraints could adversely affect the market prices of the ETF Shares and, consequently, the value of the securities.

§

The performance and market value of the ETF Shares of each ETF, particularly during periods of market volatility, may not correlate with the performance of that ETF’s underlying index as well as the net asset value per ETF Share. Each ETF does not fully replicate its underlying index and may hold securities different from those included in its underlying index. In addition, the performance of the ETF Shares of each ETF will reflect additional transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of its underlying index. All of these factors may lead to a lack of correlation between the performance of the ETF Shares of each ETF and its underlying index. In addition, corporate actions with respect to the equity securities underlying an ETF (such as mergers and spin-offs) may impact the variance between the performances of its ETF Shares and its underlying index. Finally, because the ETF Shares of each ETF are traded on a securities exchange and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the market value of one ETF Share of that ETF may differ from the net asset value per ETF Share of that ETF.

During periods of market volatility, securities underlying an ETF may be unavailable in the secondary market, market participants may be unable to calculate accurately the net asset value per ETF Share and the liquidity of the ETF Shares may be adversely affected. This kind of market volatility may also disrupt the ability of market participants to create and redeem ETF Shares of an ETF. Further, market volatility may adversely affect, sometimes materially, the prices at which market participants are willing to buy and sell ETF Shares of an ETF. As a result, under these circumstances, the market value of ETF Shares may vary substantially from the net asset value per ETF Share of an ETF. For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of the ETF Shares of an ETF may not correlate with the performance of its underlying index as well as its net asset value per ETF Share, which could materially and adversely affect the value of the securities in the secondary market and/or reduce any payment on the notes.

§

The XLF ETF is linked to the performance of the financial sector. All or substantially all of the equity securities held by the XLF ETF are issued by companies whose primary line of business is directly associated with the financial sector. Market or economic factors impacting financial companies could have a major effect on the value of the XLF ETF. Financial services companies are subject to extensive government regulation, which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change. In addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector. Insurance companies may be subject to severe price competition. Adverse economic, business or political developments affecting real estate could have a major effect on the value of real estate securities (which include real estate

 

Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due November 25, 2020

Based on the Worst Performing of the Financial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund and the Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund
Principal at Risk Securities

investment trusts). As a result, the value of the securities may be subject to greater volatility and be more adversely affected by a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting this sector than a different investment linked to securities of a more broadly diversified group of issuers.

§

The XLI ETF is linked to the performance of the industrial sector.  All or substantially all of the equity securities held by the XLI ETF are issued by companies whose primary line of business is directly associated with the industrial sector. Market or economic factors impacting industrial companies could have a major effect on the value of the XLF ETF. Industrial companies are affected by supply and demand both for their specific product service and for industrial sector products in general. Government regulation, world events, exchange rates and economic conditions, technological developments and liabilities for environmental damage and general civil liabilities will likewise affect the performance of these companies. Aerospace and defense companies can be significantly affected by government spending policies because companies involved in this industry rely, to a significant extent, on U.S. and foreign government demand for their products and services. Governmental defense spending policies are typically under pressure from efforts to control the U.S. (and other) government budgets. Transportation securities are cyclical and may have sharp price movements, which may result from changes in the economy, fuel prices, labor agreements and insurance costs. As a result, the value of the securities may be subject to greater volatility and be more adversely affected by a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting this sector than a different investment linked to securities of a more broadly diversified group of issuers.

§

Owning the securities is not the same as owning the ETF Shares. Owning the securities is not the same as owning the ETF Shares. Accordingly, changes in the closing price of one ETF Share of an ETF may not result in a comparable change of the market value of the securities. If the closing price of one ETF Share of an ETF on any trading day increases above its initial share price, the value of the securities may not increase comparably, if at all. It is possible for the closing prices of one ETF Share of both ETFs to increase moderately while the value of the securities decline.

§

The anti-dilution protection for the ETF Shares is limited. The calculation agent will make adjustments to the share adjustment factor of each ETF for certain events affecting that ETF. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment in response to all events that could affect the ETF Shares. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to make an adjustment, the value of the securities may be materially and adversely affected.

§

Hedging and trading activities by the issuer and its affiliates could potentially affect the value of the securities. The hedging or trading activities of the issuer’s affiliates and of any other hedging counterparty with respect to the securities on or prior to the pricing date and prior to maturity could have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, the closing prices of one ETF Share of either ETF. Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the pricing date could have affected the initial share prices and, as a result, the downside threshold levels, which are the respective prices at or above which the ETFs must close on each determination date in order for you to earn a contingent quarterly payment or, if the securities are not called prior to maturity, in order for you to avoid being exposed to the negative price performance of the worst performing ETF at maturity. Additionally, these hedging or trading activities during the term of the securities could potentially affect the prices of the ETFs on the determination dates and, accordingly, whether investors will receive one or more contingent quarterly payments, whether the securities are automatically redeemed prior to maturity and, if the securities are not called prior to maturity, the payment to you at maturity. It is possible that these hedging or trading activities could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the securities declines.

§

Secondary trading may be limited. The securities will not be listed on a securities exchange. There may be little or no secondary market for the securities. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the securities easily. JPMS may act as a market maker for the securities, but is not required to do so. Because we do not expect that other market makers will participate significantly in the secondary market for the securities, the price at which you may be able to trade your securities is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which JPMS is willing to buy the securities. If at any time JPMS or another agent does not act as a market maker, it is likely that there would be little or no secondary market for the securities.

§

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities are uncertain. There is no direct legal authority as to the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of the securities, and we do not intend to request a ruling from the IRS. The IRS might not accept, and a court might not uphold, the treatment of the securities as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons, as described in “Additional Information about the Securities — Additional Provisions — Tax considerations” in this document and in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 4a-I. If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment for the securities, the timing and character of any income or loss on the securities could be materially affected. Although the U.S. federal income tax treatment of contingent quarterly payments (including any

 

Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due November 25, 2020

Based on the Worst Performing of the Financial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund and the Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund
Principal at Risk Securities

contingent quarterly payments paid in connection with an early redemption or at maturity) is uncertain, in determining our reporting responsibilities we intend (in the absence of an administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary) to treat any contingent quarterly payments as ordinary income. 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 securities, possibly with retroactive effect. You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 4a-I and consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by this notice.

Non-U.S. Holders — Tax Consideration. The U.S. federal income tax treatment of contingent quarterly payments is uncertain, and although we believe it is reasonable to take a position that contingent quarterly payments are not subject to U.S. withholding tax (at least if an applicable Form W-8 is provided), a withholding agent may nonetheless withhold on these payments (generally at a rate of 30%, subject to the possible reduction of that rate under an applicable income tax treaty), unless income from your securities is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if an applicable treaty so requires, attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States). In the event of any withholding, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts so withheld. If you are not a United States person, you are urged to consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances.

Additional Information about the Securities

Please read this information in conjunction with the summary terms on the front cover of this document.

 

Additional Provisions
Record date:	The record date for each contingent payment date is the date one business day prior to that contingent payment date.
Postponement of maturity date:	If the scheduled maturity date is not a business day, then the maturity date will be the following business day.  If the scheduled final determination date is not a trading day or if a market disruption event occurs on that day so that the final determination date is postponed and falls less than three business days prior to the scheduled maturity date, the maturity date of the securities will be postponed to the third business day following that final determination date as postponed.
Minimum ticketing size:	$1,000 / 100 securities
Trustee:	Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (formerly Bankers Trust Company)
Calculation agent:	JPMS
JPMS’s estimated value of the securities:	JPMS’s estimated value of the securities set forth on the cover of this document 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 securities, valued using our internal funding rate for structured debt described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the securities. JPMS’s estimated value does not represent a minimum price at which JPMS would be willing to buy your securities in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The internal funding rate used in the determination of JPMS’s estimated value generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. For additional information, see “Risk Factors — JPMS’s estimated value is not determined by reference to credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt.” The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the securities is derived from JPMS’s internal pricing models. 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, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors, as well as assumptions about future market events and/or environments. Accordingly, JPMS’s estimated value of the securities on the pricing date is based on market conditions and other relevant factors and assumptions existing at that time. See “Risk Factors — JPMS’s estimated value does not represent future values of the securities and may differ from others’ estimates.” JPMS’s estimated value of the securities is lower than the original issue price of the securities because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the securities are included in the original issue price of the securities. These costs include the selling commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, the structuring fee, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the securities and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the securities. 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. We or one or more of our affiliates will retain any profits realized in hedging our obligations under the securities. See “Risk Factors — JPMS’s estimated value of the securities is lower than the original issue price (price to public) of the securities” in this document.
Secondary market prices of the securities:	For information about factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the securities, see “Risk Factors — Secondary market prices of the securities will be impacted by many economic and market factors” in this document. In addition, we generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the securities will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your securities by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period that is intended to be the shorter of six months and one-half of the stated term of the securities.  The length of any such initial period reflects the structure of the securities, whether our affiliates expect to earn a profit in connection with our hedging activities, the estimated costs of hedging the securities and when these costs are incurred, as determined by JPMS.  See “Risk Factors — The value of the securities as published by JPMS (and which may be reflected on customer account statements) may be higher than JPMS’s then-current estimated value of the securities for a limited time period.”
Tax considerations:	You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. 4a-I.  In determining our reporting responsibilities we intend to treat (i) the securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons and (ii) any contingent quarterly 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 no. 4a-I.  Based on the advice of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, our special tax counsel, we believe that this is a reasonable treatment, but that

 

Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due November 25, 2020

Based on the Worst Performing of the Financial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund and the Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund
Principal at Risk Securities

	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 securities 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 securities, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by this notice. Non-U.S. Holders — Tax Considerations. The U.S. federal income tax treatment of contingent quarterly payments is uncertain, and although we believe it is reasonable to take a position that contingent quarterly payments are not subject to U.S. withholding tax (at least if an applicable Form W-8 is provided), a withholding agent may nonetheless withhold on these payments (generally at a rate of 30%, subject to the possible reduction of that rate under an applicable income tax treaty), unless income from your securities is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if an applicable treaty so requires, attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States). If you are not a United States person, you are urged to consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances. Non-U.S. holders should also note that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the accompanying product supplement no. 4a-I, recently promulgated Treasury regulations imposing a withholding tax on certain “dividend equivalents” under certain “equity linked instruments” will not apply to the securities. FATCA. Withholding under legislation commonly referred to as “FATCA” could apply to payments with respect to the securities that are treated as U.S.-source “fixed or determinable annual or periodical” income (“FDAP Income”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (such as interest, if the securities are recharacterized, in whole or in part, as debt instruments, or Contingent Interest Payments if they are otherwise treated as FDAP Income). If the securities are recharacterized, in whole or in part, as debt instruments, withholding could also apply to payments of gross proceeds of a taxable disposition, including an early redemption or redemption at maturity. However, under a recent IRS notice, this regime will not apply to payments of gross proceeds (other than any amount treated as FDAP Income) with respect to dispositions occurring before January 1, 2019. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of FATCA to the securities.
Supplemental use of proceeds and hedging:	The securities are offered to meet investor demand for products that reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the securities. See “How the Securities Work” in this document for an illustration of the risk-return profile of the securities and “The Financial Select Sector SPDR® Fund Overview” and “Appendix A” in this document for a description of the market exposure provided by the securities. The original issue price of the securities is equal to JPMS’s estimated value of the securities plus the selling commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers and the structuring fee, plus (minus) the projected profits (losses) that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the securities, plus the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the securities.
Benefit plan investor considerations:	See “Benefit Plan Investor Considerations” in the accompanying product supplement no. 4a-I
Supplemental plan of distribution:	Subject to regulatory constraints, JPMS intends to use its reasonable efforts to offer to purchase the securities in the secondary market, but is not required to do so. JPMS, acting as agent for JPMorgan Chase & Co., will pay all of the selling commissions it receives from us to Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. In addition, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management will receive a structuring fee as set forth on the cover of this document for each security. We or our affiliate may enter into swap agreements or related hedge transactions with one of our other affiliates or unaffiliated counterparties in connection with the sale of the securities and JPMS and/or an affiliate may earn additional income as a result of payments pursuant to the swap or related hedge transactions. See “— Supplemental use of proceeds and hedging” above and “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” on page PS-42 of the accompanying product supplement no. 4a-I.
Validity of the securities:	In the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as our special products counsel, when the securities offered by this pricing supplement have been executed and issued by us and authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the indenture, and delivered against payment as contemplated herein, such securities will be our valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of

APPENDIX A

The Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund

We have derived all information contained in this document regarding the Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund from publicly available information, without independent verification. This information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by the Select Sector SPDR^® Trust (the “Select Sector Trust”) and SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSFM”). The Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund is an investment portfolio managed by SSFM, the investment adviser to the Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund. The Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that trades on the NYSE Arca under the ticker symbol “XLI.”

The Select Sector Trust is a registered investment company that consists of nine separate investment portfolios (each, a “Select Sector SPDR^® Fund”), including the Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund. Each Select Sector SPDR^® Fund is an index fund that invests in a particular sector or group of industries represented by a specified Select Sector Index. The companies included in each Select Sector Index are selected on the basis of general industry classifications from a universe of companies defined by the S&P 500^® Index. The Select Sector Indices (each, a “Select Sector Index”) upon which the Select Sector SPDR^® Funds are based together comprise all of the companies in the S&P 500^® Index. The investment objective of each Select Sector SPDR^® Fund is to provide investment results that, before expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of publicly traded equity securities of companies in a particular sector or group of industries, as represented by a specified market sector index.

Information provided to or filed with the SEC by the Select Sector Trust pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, can be located by reference to SEC file numbers 333-57791 and 811-08837, respectively, through the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. For additional information regarding the Select Sector Trust or the Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund, please see the Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund’s prospectus. In addition, information about the Select Sector Trust, SS FM and the Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund may be obtained from other sources including, but not limited to, press releases, newspaper articles and other publicly disseminated documents and the Select Sector Trust website at http://www.sectorspdrs.com. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of such information. Information contained in the Select Sector Trust website is not incorporated by reference in, and should not be considered a part of, this document.

Investment Objective

The Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund seeks to provide investment results that, before expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of publicly traded equity securities of companies in the Industrial Select Sector Index. For more information about the Industrial Select Sector Index, please see “— The Industrial Select Sector Index” below.

Investment Strategy — Replication

The Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund employs a replication strategy in seeking to track the performance of the Industrial Select Sector Index. This means that the Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund typically invests in substantially all of the securities represented in the Industrial Select Sector Index in approximately the same proportions as the Industrial Select Sector Index. SSFM may sell securities that are represented in the Industrial Select Sector Index, or purchase securities that are not yet represented in the Industrial Select Sector Index, in anticipation of their removal from or addition to the Industrial Select Sector Index. Further, SSFM may choose to overweight securities in the Industrial Select Sector Index, purchase or sell securities not in the Industrial Select Sector Index or utilize various combinations of other available techniques, in seeking to track the Industrial Select Sector Index.

Under normal market conditions, the Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund generally invests substantially all, but at least 95%, of its total assets in the securities composing the Industrial Select Sector Index. In addition, the Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund may invest in cash and cash equivalents or money market instruments, such as repurchase agreements and money market funds (including money market funds advised by SSFM). Swaps, options and futures contracts, convertible securities and structured notes may be used by the Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund in seeking performance that corresponds to the Industrial Select Sector Index and in managing cash flows. SSFM anticipates that, under normal circumstances, it may take several business days for additions and deletions to the Industrial Select Sector Index to be reflected in the portfolio composition of the Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Select Sector Trust may change the Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund’s investment strategy and certain other policies without shareholder approval.

There may, however, be instances where SSFM intends to utilize a sampling strategy in managing the Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund. Sampling means that SSFM will use quantitative analysis to select securities, including securities in the Industrial Select Sector Index, outside of the Industrial Select Sector Index and derivatives, that have a similar investment profile as the Industrial Select Sector Index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other economic characteristics. These include industry weightings, market capitalization, and other financial characteristics of securities.

Correlation

The Industrial Select Sector Index is a theoretical financial calculation, while the Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund is an actual investment portfolio. The performance of the Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund’s return may not match or achieve a high degree of correlation with the return of the Industrial Select Sector Index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows, regulatory requirements and operational inefficiencies.

Holdings Information

As of November 19, 2015, the Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund included 66 companies. The following table summarizes the Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund’s top 10 holdings in individual companies as of that date.

The Industrial Select Sector Index

We have derived all information contained in this document regarding the Industrial Select Sector Index, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in their components, from publicly available information, without independent verification. This information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC or BofA Merrill Lynch Research, as index compilation agent (the “Index Compilation Agent”).

In July 2012, The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“McGraw-Hill”), the owner of the S&P Indices business, and CME Group Inc. (“CME Group”), the 90% owner of the CME Group and Dow Jones & Company, Inc. joint venture that owns the Dow Jones Indexes business, formed a new joint venture, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC, which owns the S&P Indices business and the Dow Jones Indexes business, including the Select Sector Indices.

The constituents included in the Select Sector Indices are selected by the Index Compilation Agent in consultation with S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC from the universe of companies represented by the S&P 500^® Index. The composition and weighting of the components included in the Select Sector Indices can be expected to differ from the composition and weighting of components included in any similar S&P 500^® sector index that is published and disseminated by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC. S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC acts as the index calculation agent in connection with the calculation and dissemination of the Select Sector Indices. S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC’s only relationship to the Index Compilation Agent is the licensing of certain trademarks and trade names of S&P and of the S&P 500^® Index which is determined, composed and calculated by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC without regard to the Index Compilation Agent.

The Industrial Select Sector Index is a modified market capitalization-based index, intended to provide an indication of the pattern of common stock price movements of companies that are components of the S&P 500^® Index and are involved in the development or production of industrial products. The Industrial Select Sector Index includes companies in the following industries: aerospace and defense; industrial conglomerates; marine; transportation infrastructure; machinery; road and rail; air freight and logistics; commercial services and supplies; professional services; electrical equipment; construction and engineering; trading companies and distributors; airlines; and building products. The Industrial Select Sector Index is one of the nine Select Sector sub-indices of the S&P 500^® Index, each of which we refer to as a “Select Sector Index.”

Construction and Maintenance

The Select Sector Indices are developed, maintained and calculated in accordance with the following criteria:

·

Each of the component stocks in the Select Sector Indices (the “Component Stocks”) is a constituent company of the S&P 500® Index.

·

Each stock in the S&P 500® Index is allocated to one and only one of the Select Sector Indices.

·

The Index Compilation Agent assigns each constituent stock of the S&P 500® Index to a Select Sector Index. The Index Compilation Agent, after consultation with S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC, assigns a particular company’s stock to a Select Sector Index based on that company’s classification under the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS).

·

The Select Sector Indices are calculated using the same methodology utilized by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC in calculating the S&P 500® Index.  See “Equity Index Descriptions — The S&P 500® Index” in underlying supplement no. 1a-I. The daily calculation of a Select Sector Index is computed by dividing the total market value of the companies in that Select Sector Index by a number called the index divisor.

·

The Select Sector Indices are calculated by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC using a modified “market capitalization” methodology subject to a capping methodology that implements Internal Revenue Code diversification requirements that are applicable to exchange-traded funds. For reweighting purposes, the Select Sector Indices are rebalanced quarterly after the close of business on the second to last calculation day of March, June, September and December using the following procedures:

1.

The rebalancing reference date is two business days prior to the last calculation day of March, June, September and December.

2.

With prices reflected on the rebalancing reference date, and membership, shares outstanding, and other metrics as of the rebalancing effective date, each company is weighted using the modified market capitalization methodology. Modifications are made as described below.

 

Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due November 25, 2020

Based on the Worst Performing of the Financial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund and the Industrial Select Sector SPDR^® Fund
Principal at Risk Securities

3.

The Select Sector Indices are first evaluated based on their companies’ modified market capitalization weights to ensure none of the Select Sector Indices breach the maximum allowable limits defined in paragraphs 4 and 7 below. If a Select Sector Index breaches any of the allowable limits, the companies are reweighted based on their float-adjusted market capitalization weights calculated using the prices as of the rebalancing reference date, and membership, shares outstanding and other metrics as of the rebalancing effective date.

4.

If any company has a weight greater than 24%, that company has its float-adjusted market capitalization weight capped at 23%. The cap is set to 23% to allow for a 2% buffer. This buffer is needed to ensure that no company exceeds 25% as of the quarter end diversification requirement date.

5.

All excess weight is equally redistributed to all uncapped companies within the relevant Select Sector Capped Index.

6.

After this redistribution, if the float-adjusted market capitalization weight of any other company then breaches 23%, the process is repeated iteratively until no company breaches the 23% weight cap.

7.

The sum of the companies with weight greater than 4.8% cannot exceed 50% of the total index weight. These caps are set to allow for a buffer below the 5% limit.

8.

If the rule in paragraph 7 is breached, all the companies are ranked in descending order of their float-adjusted market capitalization weights and the first stock that causes the 50% limit to be breached is identified. The weight of this company is, then, reduced to 4.6%.

9.

This excess weight is equally redistributed to all companies with weights below 4.6%. This process is repeated iteratively until paragraph 7 is satisfied.

10.

Index share amounts are assigned to each constituent to arrive at the weights calculated above. Since index shares are assigned based on prices one business day prior to rebalancing, the actual weight of each constituent at the rebalancing differs somewhat from these weights due to market movements.

If necessary, the reweighting process may take place more than once prior to the close on the last business day of March, June, September or December to ensure the Select Sector Indices conform to all diversification requirements.
