FAQ
What are the key terms of the AMJB Uncapped Digital Notes linked to the S&P 500 Futures Excess Return Index?
The notes are unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., with a total offering of $647,000. They are linked to the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index, have a 57.00% Contingent Digital Return, a Digital Barrier at 90.00% of the Initial Value, an Initial Value of 558.74, and are scheduled to mature on January 24, 2031.
How do investors in AMJB notes get paid at maturity?
If the final index level is greater than or equal to the initial level, each $1,000 note pays $1,000 plus the greater of 57.00% or the Index Return. If the final level is below the initial but at or above the 90.00% Digital Barrier, payment equals $1,000 plus $1,000 times the sum of the 57.00% Contingent Digital Return and the Index Return. If the final level is below the barrier, payment equals $1,000 plus $1,000 times the Index Return, exposing investors to full downside.
Can investors in the AMJB S&P 500 futures-linked notes lose principal?
Yes. The notes do not guarantee return of principal. If the final index value is less than the Initial Value, investors lose 1% of principal for every 1% index decline, offset by the 57.00% Contingent Digital Return only when the final value is at or above the 90.00% Digital Barrier. If the final value is below the barrier, investors lose more than 10.00% of principal and could lose their entire investment.
Do the AMJB Uncapped Digital Notes pay interest or offer any interim income?
No. The notes do not pay periodic interest. All potential gains or losses are realized only at maturity based on the performance of the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index relative to the Initial Value and the 90.00% Digital Barrier.
What are the credit and liquidity characteristics of the AMJB structured notes?
The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., so payments depend on their creditworthiness. The notes are not listed on any securities exchange, and any secondary trading will depend on the price, if any, at which J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is willing to buy them.
How do fees and estimated value compare to the price of the AMJB notes?
The price to the public is $1,000 per note, including $11 in selling commissions, with proceeds to the issuer of $989 per note.

What index underlies the AMJB Uncapped Digital Notes and how is it constructed?
The notes are linked to the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index, which tracks the performance of the nearest maturing quarterly E-mini® S&P 500® futures contracts traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. It is an excess return index that reflects futures price changes and the effect of rolling contracts, but does not include interest on collateral.
