5 JPMorgan Chase 401(k) Savings Plan Annual Incentive Compensation Election Q&A The following Questions & Answers highlight some important information regarding the JPMorgan Chase 401(k) Savings Plan (Plan) Annual Incentive Compensation election. Important Note The 401(k) Savings Plan contribution elections for Annual Incentive Compensation are made prior to knowing how much, if any, Annual Incentive Compensation you may receive. It s important that you make informed decisions only after carefully reading all of the plan-related materials, including information on the investment funds. (For copies of these materials, please see Contact Information. ) You may also want to consult a financial planner regarding a strategy that s right for you. 1. What is Annual Incentive Compensation? Annual Incentive Compensation is the annual cash incentive compensation awarded under the firm s Performance-Based Incentive Plan (generally paid in January) or Branch Profitability Incentive Plan (generally paid in February). 2. There are two separate contribution rates: per-pay rate and Annual Incentive Compensation Rate. What do these refer to? Per-pay (Standard) rate applies to your Ongoing Compensation (base salary/regular pay and any non-annual cash incentives you receive). Non-annual incentive compensation includes cash incentives that are paid throughout the year, such as sales awards and monthly and quarterly incentives. It also includes any cash incentives paid annually other than Annual Incentive Compensation. Annual Incentive Compensation (Other) rate applies only to the cash compensation awarded, if any, under the firm s Performance-Based Incentive Plan (generally paid in January) or Branch Profitability Incentive Plan (generally paid in February). Your per-pay rate is not applied to the cash portion of your Annual Incentive Compensation, if any. You can contribute from your per-pay Ongoing Compensation, your Annual Incentive Compensation (if any), or both, up to the annual legal limits. See Q&A #10 for more information on limits. 3. What if I do nothing? The percentage that you have on file as your per-pay (Standard) rate will continue to be applied to your base salary/regular pay as well as any non-annual incentive compensation. You can change this rate at any time. If you do not proactively make a new contribution election for Annual Incentive Compensation (Other), if any, your rate on file from previous years will be applied whether that is 0% or any other election as of the deadline on the last business day of the calendar year. 1 1 If you are subject to a quarterly window period and you have an investment election on file to direct future contributions to the JPMorgan Chase Common Stock Fund, you may only make an election during an open window period. 1

6 4. Are there any special considerations for employees who have been here less than one year? A significant consideration is whether your Annual Incentive Compensation is match eligible. 2 If you were hired in 2017, any Annual Incentive Compensation you receive in early 2018 will likely be ineligible for matching contributions as only contributions you make and compensation paid beginning the first day of the month after completing one year of service are eligible to be matched. For example, Sally was hired on February 2, 2017 and will become eligible for matching contributions on March 1, Any contributions she makes to the plan between February 2, 2017 and February 28, 2018 are not eligible for matching contributions. Any amounts up to 5% of Eligible Compensation contributed from March 1, 2018 through the end of 2018 will be matched assuming Sally is employed as of December 31, Keep in mind that there is an annual IRS limit on your employee contributions. See Q&A #10 for more information on limits. Company match The 401(k) Savings Plan provides a dollarfor-dollar match up to 5% of Eligible Compensation, which includes Annual Incentive Compensation, for eligible employees. 2 Eligible Compensation is the sum of your Ongoing Compensation (base salary/regular pay and any non-annual cash incentives you receive) and your Annual Incentive Compensation. (It does not include overtime payments, sign-on bonus and similar awards, referral awards, stipends, non-cash awards such as equity awards and allowances.) One simple way to ensure that you receive the full 5% match is to contribute 5% of your Annual Incentive Compensation (if any) and 5% of your Ongoing (per-pay) Compensation throughout the year. 5. How can I maximize my 401(k) match if I receive Annual Incentive Compensation but do not contribute from it? Any Annual Incentive Compensation award you receive beginning the first of the month after you complete one year of service is included in your maximum match-eligible compensation for that year. Therefore, if you do not contribute from the cash portion of your Annual Incentive Compensation, you may need to increase your per-pay (Standard) contribution rate throughout the year to get to at least 5% of your Eligible Compensation. Remember, you need to contribute 5% of your Eligible Compensation for the year to maximize the matching contribution the firm provides. If you d like assistance modeling different contribution scenarios, please call the 401(k) Savings Plan Call Center (see the last page for Contact Information ) and a Client Service Representative can assist you. 6. When can I make my 401(k) contribution election for Annual Incentive Compensation? You can elect to contribute from the cash portion of your Annual Incentive Compensation from the first business day in March through the last business day of the calendar year. 3 Please note: You must make your contribution election prior to knowing how much, if any, Annual Incentive Compensation you may receive. The election on file as of the last business day of the calendar year is irrevocable and will be applied to the cash portion of any Annual Incentive Compensation you may receive the following January (or February). 2 Generally, you must have Total Annual Cash Compensation of less than $250,000 and be actively employed on December 31 to receive matching contributions for that year. You re eligible for the company match after one year of service. Only contributions made, and compensation earned, after one year of service are match eligible. For the purposes of determining your eligibility to receive matching contributions under the 401(k) Savings Plan, your Total Annual Cash Compensation is recalculated as of each August 1 to take effect the following January 1 and remain unchanged throughout the year. You can view your Total Annual Cash Compensation amount on the Benefits Web Center. 3 If you are subject to a quarterly window period and you have an investment election on file to direct future contributions to the JPMorgan Chase Common Stock Fund, you may only make an election during an open window period. 2

7 7. What if I made an Annual Incentive Compensation election in a previous year? If you have a 401(k) Annual Incentive Compensation contribution election on file from a previous year, that election will continue to be in effect this year unless you change it (to 0% or any other percentage) before the deadline on the last business day of the calendar year. 4 For example: You elected to contribute 10% of the cash portion of your Annual Incentive Compensation to your 401(k) last year. Unless you change your election prior to the deadline, 10% will be taken from the cash portion of any Annual Incentive Compensation in early 2018, regardless of whether the dollar amount of your Annual Incentive Compensation changes. 8. Does making a 401(k) contribution election for Annual Incentive Compensation mean that I will get an award? No. Annual Incentive Compensation is awarded by the firm at its sole and absolute discretion. The ability to make a contribution election is not a guarantee or promise that you will receive any Annual Incentive Compensation for any performance year, even if you received one in a prior year. 9. What if I make an election but don t receive any Annual Incentive Compensation? If you make an Annual Incentive Compensation contribution election, but do not receive an award, then no 401(k) deduction will be taken. Your new election, however, will replace your previous election and will remain on file until you change it. 10. What is the maximum dollar amount I can contribute to my 401(k) in 2018? The 2018 maximum IRS contribution limit for all 401(k) employee contributions including per-pay (Standard) deductions as well as any contribution from Annual Incentive Compensation (Other) is $18,500 ($24,500 for individuals age 50 or older). These limits will be systematically monitored so that you don t exceed the maximum legal limit across all of your contributions to the JPMorgan Chase 401(k) Savings Plan. 11. Can I make Roth AND before-tax contributions from my per-pay (Standard) as well as my Annual Incentive Compensation (Other)? You can elect to contribute up to 50% on a before-tax and/or Roth basis as your per-pay contribution rate (deducted from your base salary/regular pay and any non-annual incentives) and your Annual Incentive Compensation rate. Please note: If you elect to contribute on both a before-tax and Roth basis, your before-tax deductions will be made first, then your Roth deductions. Therefore, depending on your rate, it is possible that your before-tax deduction causes you to reach the IRS contribution limit, resulting in limited or no Roth contribution to your account. (This is more likely to happen with Annual Incentive Compensation.) 4 If you are subject to a quarterly window period and you have an investment election on file to direct future contributions to the JPMorgan Chase Common Stock Fund, you may only make an election during an open window period. 3
