JPMorgan (NYSE: AMJB) offers auto callable Exxon Mobil-linked notes
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the common stock of Exxon Mobil Corporation, maturing on December 23, 2027.
The notes pay a quarterly Contingent Interest Payment of at least $22.50 per $1,000 (a rate of at least 9.00% per annum, or 2.25% per quarter) for any Review Date where Exxon Mobil’s share price is at or above 75.00% of the Initial Value, the Interest Barrier. If the price is below this level, no interest is paid for that quarter.
The notes are automatically called if, on any Review Date other than the first and final, Exxon Mobil’s share price is at or above the Initial Value, returning $1,000 plus the applicable interest. If not called and the Final Value is below the Trigger Value (also 75.00% of the Initial Value), repayment at maturity is reduced dollar-for-dollar with the stock loss, and investors can lose more than 25.00% and up to all principal.
The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations, not listed on any exchange, do not pay dividends, and had an indicative estimated value of approximately $970.00 per $1,000, not less than $950.00, reflecting selling commissions, structuring fees and hedging costs.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan AMJB auto callable notes linked to Exxon Mobil stock?
The notes are Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., linked to the common stock of Exxon Mobil Corporation. They can pay high contingent interest and may be called early if Exxon Mobil’s share price performs well.
How do investors earn income on the JPMorgan AMJB notes?
For each $1,000 principal amount note, investors receive a Contingent Interest Payment of at least $22.50 on each Interest Payment Date, which equals a 9.00% per annum rate, payable at 2.25% per quarter, but only if Exxon Mobil’s share price on the related Review Date is at or above 75.00% of the Initial Value.
When can the JPMorgan AMJB notes be automatically called?
The notes are automatically called if, on any Review Date other than the first and final, the closing price of one Exxon Mobil share is at or above the Initial Value. In that case, investors receive $1,000 per note plus the applicable Contingent Interest Payment on the related Call Settlement Date, and no further payments are made.
What principal protection and downside risk do the JPMorgan AMJB notes have?
The notes do not guarantee return of principal. If they are not called and the Final Value of Exxon Mobil is below the Trigger Value of 75.00% of the Initial Value, the maturity payment is $1,000 + ($1,000 × Stock Return), so investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% the stock has fallen and can lose more than 25.00% or even all of their investment.
Do the JPMorgan AMJB notes pay dividends or trade on an exchange?
Holders do not receive dividends on Exxon Mobil stock and have no shareholder rights. The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange, so liquidity depends on the price, if any, at which J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is willing to buy them in the secondary market.
What is the estimated value of the JPMorgan AMJB notes at issuance?
If the notes priced on the indicated date, the estimated value would be approximately $970.00 per $1,000 principal amount note, and the final estimated value, when set, will not be less than $950.00 per $1,000. This is lower than the price to public because it reflects selling commissions, a structuring fee, projected hedging profits or losses and hedging costs.
What key risks are highlighted for investors in the JPMorgan AMJB notes?
Key risks include the possibility of losing all principal, the risk of receiving no interest if Exxon Mobil’s price is below the Interest Barrier on Review Dates, credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., lack of liquidity as the notes are not exchange-listed, and that investors do not participate in any upside of Exxon Mobil beyond the Contingent Interest Payments.
