AMJB notes: JPMorgan 9.05% contingent coupon linked to 3 indices
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering $1,507,000 of Contingent Interest Notes linked individually to the Russell 2000 Index, the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index and the S&P 500 Index, maturing on November 27, 2028. The notes pay a monthly contingent coupon of $7.5417 per $1,000 (a 9.05% per annum rate) only if, on each Review Date, the closing level of every index is at or above 70% of its Initial Value; otherwise no interest is paid for that month.
At maturity, if each index is at or above its 70% Trigger Value, holders receive their $1,000 principal plus the final coupon. If any index finishes below its Trigger Value, repayment is reduced in line with the worst-performing index, and investors can lose more than 30% and up to all of their principal. The price to public is $1,000 per note, with estimated value of $975.30 due to embedded selling costs and hedging. The notes are unsecured, not FDIC‑insured, will not be listed on an exchange, and carry credit risk of both the issuer and guarantor.

FAQ
What is JPMorgan Chase Financial (AMJB) offering in this 424B2 filing?
The company is offering Contingent Interest Notes with a total principal amount of $1,507,000, linked to the Russell 2000 Index, the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index and the S&P 500 Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
How do the contingent interest payments on these AMJB notes work?
For each Review Date, investors receive a $7.5417 coupon per $1,000 note (a 9.05% per annum rate) only if the closing level of each index is at or above 70% of its Initial Value. If any index is below its Interest Barrier on a Review Date, no interest is paid for that period.
What happens at maturity for these JPMorgan Chase Financial contingent interest notes?
On November 27, 2028, if the Final Value of every index is at least its Trigger Value (70% of Initial Value), each note pays back $1,000 plus the final contingent coupon. If any index is below its Trigger Value, the payoff becomes $1,000 + ($1,000 × Least Performing Index Return), so investors can lose more than 30% and potentially all of their principal.
What are the main risks highlighted for investors in these AMJB structured notes?
Key risks include the possibility of no interest payments if any index stays below its barrier, potential loss of principal up to 100% if the worst index finishes below its Trigger Value, credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., lack of liquidity because the notes are not exchange‑listed, and the fact that investors do not receive dividends from any index constituents.
How is the pricing and estimated value of these JPMorgan structured notes determined?
The price to public is $1,000 per note, including selling commissions and hedging costs. The issuer’s estimated value at pricing is $975.30 per $1,000 note, based on an internal funding rate and derivative valuation models. The difference reflects distribution costs, projected hedging profits or losses, and other issuance expenses.
Which indices determine the performance of the AMJB contingent interest notes?
The notes are linked individually to three indices: the Russell 2000 Index (small-cap U.S. stocks), the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index (technology names from the Nasdaq-100) and the S&P 500 Index (large-cap U.S. stocks). Payments depend on each index’s level relative to its Initial Value and 70% barrier.
Are these JPMorgan Chase Financial notes suitable as a short-term trading instrument?
The disclosure states that the notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. They will not be listed on any securities exchange, and any secondary market would likely be limited to repurchases by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC at prices that may be significantly below the original issue price.
