JPMorgan Chase Financial (NYSE: AMJB) plans contingent interest index notes
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the lesser performance of the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index, maturing on December 14, 2026. The notes can pay a quarterly Contingent Interest Payment of at least $27.125 per $1,000 (a rate of at least 10.85% per annum) for each Review Date when both indices close at or above 70% of their Initial Values.
The notes are automatically called, returning $1,000 plus the applicable interest, if on any non-final Review Date both indices are at or above their Initial Values. If the notes are not called and either index ever closes below 70% of its Initial Value during the Monitoring Period and finishes below its Initial Value at maturity, principal is reduced 1% for each 1% decline in the lesser performing index, with the potential for a total loss of principal.
The minimum denomination is $1,000. A preliminary estimated value example is $984.60 per $1,000, and the final estimated value on the pricing date will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000, reflecting selling commissions, hedging costs and issuer funding assumptions.

FAQ
What is JPMorgan Chase Financial (AMJB) offering in this 424B2 document?
The company is offering Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the lesser performance of the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated debt with a scheduled maturity on December 14, 2026.
How does the contingent interest work on the JPMorgan AMJB auto callable notes?
On each Review Date, if the closing level of each index is at least 70.00% of its Initial Value, investors receive a Contingent Interest Payment of at least $27.125 per $1,000 principal amount (a 10.85% per annum rate, or at least 2.7125% per quarter). If either index is below its 70% Interest Barrier on a Review Date, no interest is paid for that period.
When can the JPMorgan AMJB structured notes be automatically called?
The notes are automatically called on any Review Date before the final one if the closing level of each index is greater than or equal to its Initial Value. In that case, investors receive $1,000 plus the applicable Contingent Interest Payment per note on the related Call Settlement Date, and no further payments will be made.
What are the main downside risks of these JPMorgan auto callable notes linked to the Russell 2000 and S&P 500?
If the notes are not called and a Trigger Event occurs (either index closes below 70.00% of its Initial Value on any day in the Monitoring Period) and the Final Value of either index is below its Initial Value, the principal repayment is reduced. The maturity payment becomes $1,000 + ($1,000 × Lesser Performing Index Return), so investors can lose some or all of their principal. There is also the risk of receiving no interest if barriers are not met.
Why is the estimated value of the JPMorgan AMJB notes lower than the price to public?
The document states that if priced on the indicated date, the estimated value would be about $984.60 per $1,000 principal amount, and the final estimated value will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000. This is lower than the price to public because it excludes selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses, and hedging and issuance costs, and uses JPMorgan’s internal funding rate, which can differ from market-implied rates.
What indices underlie the JPMorgan Chase Financial auto callable contingent interest notes?
The notes are linked to the Russell 2000® Index (ticker RTY), which tracks small-cap U.S. equities, and the S&P 500® Index (ticker SPX), a benchmark of 500 large U.S. companies. Payments depend on each index separately, with the Lesser Performing Index determining principal outcomes at maturity when downside conditions apply.
What is the schedule for key dates on the JPMorgan AMJB structured notes?
The notes are expected to price on or about December 9, 2025 and settle on or about December 12, 2025. Review Dates are scheduled for March 9, 2026, June 9, 2026, September 9, 2026 and December 9, 2026 (the final Review Date), with corresponding Interest Payment Dates on March 12, 2026, June 12, 2026, September 14, 2026 and the December 14, 2026 Maturity Date, subject to possible postponement for market disruption events.
