JPMorgan (AMJB) issues $250,000 auto-callable NVIDIA barrier notes
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is issuing $250,000 of Auto Callable Accelerated Barrier Notes linked to the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes have a minimum denomination of $1,000, priced at 100% of principal with selling commissions of $8 per $1,000 and net proceeds of $248,000 to the issuer.
The notes may be automatically called on January 22, 2027 if NVIDIA’s share price is at or above the call value, paying $1,150 per $1,000 note (a 15% call premium). If not called and held to the January 25, 2029 maturity, investors receive leveraged upside of 2.46x any stock gain, return of principal if the final stock price is at or above 70% of the initial value, and one-for-one downside below that barrier, which can result in a total loss of principal.
The notes pay no interest or dividends, are unsecured obligations subject to the credit risk of both JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., are not FDIC insured, and may have limited or no secondary market liquidity. The estimated value at pricing was $980.60 per $1,000 note, below the issue price due to selling, structuring and hedging costs.
