NEW YORK -- July 27, 2012

JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) today announced next steps in unifying some
of its Chase-branded businesses to better serve consumer customers and more
formally aligning two of its J.P. Morgan-branded wholesale franchises for the
benefit of corporate and investor clients around the world.

With each of JPMorgan Chase’s major businesses now a market leader, the
company will integrate them even more formally. Managing businesses that share
similar customers allows the firm to utilize its collective strengths and
expertise to do more for our clients and to grow our business.

As part of this integrated approach, the company is announcing some
organizational changes and new and increased responsibilities for a number of
key executives.

Consumer & Community Banking

With the success of the “One Chase” effort to merge our Consumer businesses,
the company is now accelerating that integration. Todd Maclin and Gordon Smith
will become co-CEOs of Consumer & Community Banking, which includes Consumer &
Business Banking, Card & Auto, and over time, Mortgage Banking.

Frank Bisignano, who was tapped in early 2011 to lead the highly successful
transformation of Mortgage Banking, in addition to his role as Chief
Administrative Officer of the firm, will transition the Mortgage business to
Gordon Smith in early 2013 and become co-Chief Operating Officer for the
entire company.

Todd Maclin and Gordon Smith will run the Chase consumer businesses together
and continue to integrate the franchise for the benefit of the Chase’s 50
million customers. Todd will move on to a Chairman role of this business at
the end of 2013 and will then transition it to Gordon, who will become sole
CEO of Consumer & Community Banking, overseeing the entire offering of
consumer products and services.

Corporate & Investment Bank

The J.P. Morgan wholesale groups have made similar strides in aligning their
businesses. The Investment Bank (IB), Treasury & Securities Services (TSS),
and the Global Corporate Bank businesses currently serve many of the same
corporate and investor clients, and they are now being combined into the
Corporate & Investment Bank, which we believe will be the strongest and most
complete institutional client franchise in the industry.

The benefits of the Corporate & Investment Bank include a shared balance sheet
that can more effectively deliver credit to clients in the form most helpful
to them, as well as the benefits of scale that come from combined resources,
infrastructure and technology. A globally coordinated coverage team also can
better support clients in an increasingly complex regulatory and economic
environment with a comprehensive suite of products and services.

As a result of these changes, Jes Staley, CEO of the Investment Bank, will
become Chairman of J.P. Morgan’s Corporate & Investment Bank, a new position,
and will remain on the firm’s Operating Committee. In this role, he will head
a group of senior executives who will work together to develop a view of what
global banking will look like in the years ahead. More specifically, the team
will focus on changing client needs, the impact of technology, the extensive
requirements of global regulatory reform, future trade and investment flows
and other important issues. Remaining Chairman of the firm’s International
Steering Committee, Jes will continue to oversee the continued expansion of
the J.P. Morgan client franchise internationally, while ensuring an effective
transition of his current responsibilities to new leaders in the business.

Mike Cavanagh, head of TSS, and Daniel Pinto, head of EMEA and Global Fixed
Income, will become co-CEOs of the Corporate & Investment Bank. The global
businesses of the Corporate & Investment Bank will be organized into two main
groups: Banking, which will include Investment Banking, Global Corporate Bank
and Treasury Services; and Markets & Investor Services, which will include
Fixed Income, Equities, Commodities as well as Prime Services and Securities
Clearing.

While Mike and Daniel will run the business as a unified entity, Mike will be
the first point of contact for escalation and decision-making for the Banking
businesses, while Daniel will have that role for Markets & Investor Services.
Daniel will join Mike and Jes as members of the firmwide Operating Committee,
all reporting to Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO.

Asset Management and Commercial Banking

The company’s Asset Management and Commercial Banking businesses, which serve
a broad range of customers, companies and institutions, will remain separately
managed from the other businesses. Mary Erdoes continues as CEO of Asset
Management, and Douglas Petno remains head the Commercial Bank. They’ll work
closely with leaders of the other businesses as needed to find ways to better
integrate their client expertise and products across the firm.

Corporate

Matt Zames will remain head of the Chief Investment Office and Mortgage
Capital Markets, and he will also become co-Chief Operating Officer of the
entire firm with Frank Bisignano. In his co-COO role, Matt will also have
Finance and Regulatory Affairs reporting to him. Frank will be responsible for
Technology & Operations, Security & Resiliency, Real Estate, Procurement and
General Services. Both will remain on the firmwide Operating Committee.

Commenting on the changes, Jamie Dimon said: “We are blessed with
extraordinary leaders and outstanding businesses across our company. Today’s
appointments are a natural step in aligning our businesses more closely to
make our company even stronger.”
