High-yield JPMorgan (NYSE: AMJB) notes linked to MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC plans to issue auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index, maturing on February 27, 2031 and fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes pay a quarterly contingent coupon of at least 9.50% per annum if, on a Review Date, the Index closes at or above 50% of its Initial Value.
The notes can be automatically called starting on February 24, 2027 if the Index is at or above its Initial Value, returning principal plus the applicable coupon. If held to maturity and the Final Index Value is below the 50% Trigger Value, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the Index decline, and investors can lose more than half, up to all, of principal. The Index embeds a 6.0% per annum daily deduction and a notional financing cost on the QQQ Fund, which drag on performance. The estimated value is about $901.30 per $1,000 note, and will not be less than $900.00 at pricing.

FAQ
What are the key terms of the JPMorgan (AMJB) auto callable notes in this 424B2?
The notes are due February 27, 2031, linked to the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index and fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. They offer potential quarterly contingent interest of at least 9.50% per annum if index conditions are met, with minimum denominations of $1,000.
How do the contingent interest payments work on the JPMorgan (AMJB) structured notes?
For each $1,000 note, investors receive at least $23.75 per quarter (a 9.50% per annum rate) only when the Index closes on a Review Date at or above 50% of its Initial Value. If the Index is below that barrier, no interest is paid for that period.
Under what conditions are the JPMorgan (AMJB) notes automatically called?
Beginning with the February 24, 2027 Review Date, the notes are automatically called if the Index closes at or above its Initial Value. Investors then receive $1,000 principal plus the applicable contingent interest for that Review Date, with no further payments afterward.
What principal risks do investors face with these JPMorgan (AMJB) MerQube-linked notes?
The notes do not guarantee principal. If not called and the Final Index Value is below the 50% Trigger Value, repayment equals $1,000 plus $1,000 times the Index Return, leading to losses greater than 50% and potentially a total loss. Interest payments are also entirely contingent.
How does the 6.0% deduction affect the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index and these notes?
The Index level reflects a 6.0% per annum daily deduction plus a daily notional financing cost on the QQQ Fund. These charges reduce positive performance, magnify negative returns and cause the Index to trail an identical index without such deductions, which can lower note returns.
What is the estimated value of the JPMorgan (AMJB) auto callable notes at issuance?
If priced on the described date, the estimated value would be about $901.30 per $1,000 note, and will not be less than $900.00 at pricing. This is below the price to public because it excludes selling commissions, structuring costs and hedging-related amounts included in the issue price.
What credit exposure do holders of the JPMorgan (AMJB) structured notes have?
The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.. Payments depend on the creditworthiness of both entities; a default could result in investors not receiving interest or principal.
