JPMorgan (AMJB) issues callable contingent notes tied to Airbnb stock
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering callable contingent interest notes linked to the Class A common stock of Airbnb, Inc. The notes run to December 28, 2027 and pay a quarterly contingent coupon of at least 12.15% per annum (at least $30.375 per $1,000 per quarter) only if Airbnb’s share price on each Review Date is at or above 60% of the initial stock price, which is both the interest barrier and principal protection trigger.
JPMorgan may redeem the notes early on any interest payment date starting June 25, 2026, paying $1,000 plus any due contingent interest, after which no further payments are made. If the notes are not redeemed and Airbnb’s final stock price on the last Review Date is below the 60% trigger, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline from the initial price and could lose their entire investment; upside is limited to the stream of contingent coupons. The notes are unsecured, not FDIC insured, and an initial estimated value of about $970 per $1,000 reflects embedded fees, hedging costs and dealer profits.
