Item 8.01 Other Events.

On November 29, 2010 JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan Chase” or the “Firm”) launched an offer to purchase (the “Offer”) any and all of the 5.875% Capital Securities, Series O (the “capital securities”) issued by JPMorgan Chase Capital XV (the “Trust”). The Offer expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 27, 2010 (the “Offer Expiration Date”).

On December 28, 2010, JPMorgan Chase announced that, as of the Offer Expiration Date, $907,061,000 aggregate liquidation amount of the capital securities had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 90.7% of the outstanding aggregate liquidation amount of the capital securities. JPMorgan Chase also announced that all of the capital securities validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer have been accepted for payment and that the settlement for the Offer had been completed. A copy of the press release announcing the final results of the Offer is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Following JPMorgan Chase’s purchase of capital securities pursuant to the Offer, the Firm merged the Trust into a new Delaware statutory trust, as permitted by the terms of the Trust’s governing documents. Following the merger, the capital securities that the Firm acquired pursuant to the Offer were exchanged for a like amount of the subordinated debt securities of JPMorgan Chase held by the Trust, and following such exchange, the capital securities and subordinated debt securities so exchanged were retired and canceled. The merger did not affect the rights of the holders of the capital securities that remain outstanding.
