AMJB auto-callable notes linked to iShares Ethereum ETF ETHA
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering $1,621,000 of Auto Callable Accelerated Barrier Notes linked to the iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ticker ETHA), maturing on November 29, 2028. The notes may be automatically called on November 27, 2026 if the ETF’s closing price is at or above the Call Value, paying $1,000 plus a fixed call premium of $372.50 per $1,000 note.
If not called and the ETF rises above the Initial Value of $22.45, investors receive an uncapped payoff equal to 1.50 times the Fund’s gain. If the Final Value is at or above the Barrier Amount of 60% of the Initial Value, principal is returned; below that barrier, losses are one-for-one with the Fund’s decline and investors can lose all principal. The notes pay no interest, are unsecured obligations exposed to JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. credit risk, and depend on a highly volatile ether-linked ETF. The price to public is $1,000 per note versus an estimated value of $900.60, and the notes are not exchange-listed, so secondary market liquidity may be limited.

What is JPMorgan Chase Financial (AMJB) offering in this 424B2 filing?
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is issuing $1,621,000 of Auto Callable Accelerated Barrier Notes linked to the iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA), fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., and scheduled to mature on November 29, 2028.
How does the auto-call feature work on the AMJB Ethereum ETF notes?
The notes may be automatically called on the Review Date of November 27, 2026 if the ETF’s closing price is at or above the Call Value (100% of the Initial Value). In that case, investors receive $1,000 plus a $372.50 call premium per $1,000 note on the Call Settlement Date, and no further payments are made.
What is the upside participation and barrier level on these AMJB notes?
If the notes are not called and the Final Value of ETHA is above the Initial Value of $22.45, investors receive 1.50 times the Fund’s positive return at maturity. If the Final Value is at or above the Barrier Amount of 60% of the Initial Value ($13.47), principal is returned. Below that barrier, repayment is $1,000 plus $1,000 × Fund Return, so principal losses exceed 40% and can reach 100%.
What are the main risks of the AMJB Auto Callable Accelerated Barrier Notes?
Key risks include the possibility of losing a significant portion or all principal if the ETF finishes below the barrier, no interest payments, and exposure to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes reference an ETF that tracks the price of ether, which has experienced extreme volatility and faces regulatory, technological and market risks. The notes are also not listed, so liquidity may be limited.
How do the fees and estimated value compare to the price for these AMJB notes?
The price to public is $1,000 per note, including $30 in selling commissions, with net proceeds to the issuer of $970 per $1,000 note. The estimated value, determined at pricing, is $900.60 per $1,000 note, reflecting selling costs, structuring and hedging costs included in the issue price.
What is the underlying fund for the AMJB Ethereum-linked notes and how new is it?
The underlying is the iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA), which seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of ether before expenses and liabilities. The Fund began trading on July 23, 2024 on The Nasdaq Stock Market and therefore has limited historical performance
Do the AMJB notes provide any protection from commodity or investment company regulation?
The notes are offered under a hybrid instrument exemption from the Commodity Exchange Act and are not regulated as commodity futures or swaps. The underlying Fund itself is not an investment company or commodity pool, so investors do not receive regulatory protections applicable to those vehicles.
