1. "Catastrophic loss" defined as a 70% decline from peak value with minimal recovery. This is a subjective cutoff point; some investors may see smaller permanent declines as equally
unacceptable.
2. "Extreme winner" stocks defined as those stock with a 500%+ time-adjusted lifetime price return vs. the Russell 3000 Index. The Russell 3000 index measures the performance of the 3,000

Hedge
EFTA00506031
Protective puts are a hedge against a decline in the value of a single stock position
Puts provide downside protection by giving the investor the right to sell shares at a fixed price (the put strike price). In exchange
for this right, the investor must pay an upfront premium to acquire the put contract. This strategy is appropriate for investors
who are neutral to moderately bearish on the stock.
• Provides some downside protection
Benefits • Investor retains all upside appreciation, dividends; and voting rights
• Investor can borrow against hedged position to raise liquidity, as needed2
• Requires the investor to pay an upfront premium; this premium is an economic loss if the contract expires worthless
• Shares are pledged as collateral for the put for the duration of the contract
• Over-the-counter ("OTC") options are typically European-style options that expire at maturity; if unwound early,
the payout may vary from expected payout at maturity;
If stock price at maturity is less than the put strike price:
— Physical settlement: Investor delivers shares and receives the put strike price
Payment at — Cash settlement: Investor receives the difference between put strike price and stock price
Maturity If stock price at maturity is greater than the put strike price:
— Investor continues to hold the shares and the contract expires worthless
— Investor may claim a capital loss in the amount of the premium paid to acquire the option contract
1. Dividend protection is as defined in the term sheet and confirmation. Dividends would not qualify for qualified dividend income tax treatment during the time the offsetting put is held.
2. Subject to credit approval.
3. Based on factors including the underlying stock price, volatility, interest rates, dividend yield and time to maturity.

Collars provide downside protection and upside appreciation to a defined cap
Collars provide downside protection by foregoing some potential upside appreciation. The strategy consists of buying a put and
selling a call, with payoff contingent on the stock price at maturity. This strategy is appropriate for investors who are neither
aggressively bullish nor bearish on the stock.
Provides some downside protection
•
Less costly than purchasing the equivalent protection of a put alone; "cashless" collars incur no out-of-pocket cost
•
Benefits Investor retains all upside appreciation up to the call strike price, dividends', and voting rights

•
Investor caps the potential return on the stock at the call strike price and gives up any stock appreciation above

vary from expected payout at maturity'
If stock price at maturity is greater than the call strike price:
— Physical settlement: Investor delivers the underlying stock and receives the call strike price
Payment at — Cash Settlement: Investor pays difference between the stock price and the call strike price
Maturity • If stock price at maturity is less than or equal to the call strike price: Call option expires worthless

A securities-based line of credit can be an effective way to monetize your concentration
Borrower is able to extract value from the concentrated position by pledging the securities as collateral on a line
of credit facility extended by the bank
Borrower may use the loan proceeds for any purpose; if reinvested at a rate of return greater than the rate of
interest on the line of credit, an arbitrage opportunity may exist
Lending value of a concentrated position will be lower than lending value of a diversified portfolio of
investments; protecting the position with a collar or other hedging strategy may increase lending value,
Shares are pledged as collateral for the duration of the strategy and may be subject to forced sale by the lender
A decline in the value of the pledged securities may require the borrower to pledge additional collateral and/or
pay down the line of credit; this risk is heightened by the concentrated nature of the pledged shares
Borrowers hedging their concentrated position with a protection strategy intended to match the anticipated
maturity of the loan run the risk that the hedging strategy and/or the loan must be unwound early
1. Lending values are determined by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in its sole discretion. Advance rates on securities are determined by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and are subject to change
without notice.
Lines of credit are extended at the discretion of J.P. Morgan, and J.P. Morgan has no commitment to extend a line of credit or make loans available under the line of credit. Any extension of
uedit is subject to credit approval by the lender in accordance with the terms contained in definitive loan documents. Loans collateralized by securities involve certain risks and may not be
suitable for all borrowers and investors. A decline in the value of securities pledged as collateral may require the borrower to provide additional collateral and/or pay down the loan or line of
uedit in order to avoid the forced sale of the securities by the lender.

An outright sale of shares is the most direct path to diversification
But deciding on a selling strategy is more complex than it may seem
• Shares can either be sold all at once or in stages
Investors selling a concentrated position must ask themselves the following questions:
— What is the right amount for me to sell? (Consider liquidity needs and appetite for continued exposure to single-stock risk)
Am I comfortable selling out of the position more gradually if it means potentially selling at a higher price?
Am I comfortable selling out of the position more gradually if it means potentially selling at a lower price?
If I sell in stages, what is an appropriate pace for the sales?
How will the realized capital gains event(s) impact my overall income tax situation?
Immediate Sale Staged Selling Strategy
• Generates immediate cash for diversification • Liquidity realized more gradually
• Possibility of selling at a depressed or undervalued price • Greater potential upside and downside because
• Large lots may move markets concentration is held longer
• Investor may be subject to trading restrictions • Can accommodate investors subject to trading restrictions
• Creates an immediate capital gains tax liability • Capital gains taxes incurred, albeit at a staggered pace

• While similar to collar plus a loan, no interim interest payments required, structure generally provides more cash
Benefitslill upfront, and more flexibility in the use of proceeds
• Taxes on underlying shares deferred until maturity (or beyond if cash settled)
• Can be structured so investor retains dividends' (optional) and voting rights during contract
