High-yield Meta-linked notes from JPMorgan (AMJB) carry principal loss risk
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the Class A common stock of Meta Platforms, Inc. The notes pay a quarterly Contingent Interest Payment of at least $34.125 per $1,000 note (at least 13.65% per annum) for each Review Date on which Meta’s share price is at or above 60% of its Initial Value. If Meta’s share price on a non-initial, non-final Review Date is at or above the Initial Value, the notes are automatically called and repay $1,000 plus that period’s contingent interest. If the notes are not called and Meta’s final price is below the 60% Trigger Value, repayment at maturity is $1,000 plus $1,000 times the stock return, so investors can lose more than 40% and up to all principal. The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations subject to the credit risk of both JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co.

FAQ
What security is JPMorgan (AMJB) offering in this 424B2 filing?
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the Class A common stock of Meta Platforms, Inc., fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
How do the contingent interest payments on the JPMorgan Meta-linked notes work?
For each $1,000 note, investors receive a Contingent Interest Payment of at least $34.125 (at least 13.65% per annum, 3.4125% per quarter) for any Review Date when Meta’s closing price is at or above 60% of the Initial Value. If the price is below that barrier, no interest is paid for that period.
When can the Meta-linked notes be automatically called by JPMorgan?
On any Review Date other than the first and final ones, if Meta’s closing share price is at or above the Initial Value, the notes are automatically called. Investors then receive $1,000 per note plus the applicable contingent interest on the related Call Settlement Date, and no further payments are due.
What happens at maturity if the notes are not called and Meta’s stock has fallen?
If the notes are not automatically called and Meta’s final share price is below the 60% Trigger Value, the payment per $1,000 note is $1,000 plus $1,000 times the stock return. In that case, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline from the Initial Value and can lose more than 40% or even all of their principal.
What are the key dates for these JPMorgan Meta-linked notes?
The notes are expected to price on or about February 2, 2026 and settle on or about February 5, 2026. The scheduled final Review Date is February 2, 2029, with a stated Maturity Date of February 7, 2029, subject to possible postponement for market disruption events.
What are the main risks of investing in these JPMorgan contingent interest notes linked to Meta?
Key risks include no principal protection, the possibility of no interest payments if Meta stays below the 60% barrier on Review Dates, full exposure to Meta’s downside below the Trigger Value at maturity, credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., lack of liquidity as the notes are not exchange-listed, and an estimated value lower than the original issue price.
How is the estimated value of the JPMorgan Meta-linked notes determined?
The indicative estimated value per $1,000 note would be about $980.00 if priced on the reference date and will not be less than $950.00 when set. It reflects a debt component discounted at an internal funding rate plus embedded derivatives, and is lower than the price to public because it includes selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses, and hedging costs.
