JPMorgan (AMJB) auto callable 9% contingent notes linked to S&P 500, Russell 2000 and Dow
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the least performing of the S&P 500, Russell 2000 and Dow Jones Industrial Average, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes run to July 20, 2027, with minimum denominations of $1,000, and can be automatically called as early as July 15, 2026 if each index is at or above its initial level on designated review dates.
The notes pay a quarterly contingent coupon at a rate of at least 9.00% per annum (at least 2.25% per quarter), but only if on every day in a quarter each index stays at or above 70% of its initial value. If a trigger event occurs (any index ever closes below 70% of its initial value) and the least performing index finishes below its initial level at maturity, investors lose principal in line with that index’s decline and could lose their entire investment. The estimated value is illustrated at about $963.40 per $1,000 note, and the notes are unsecured obligations subject to the credit risk of both the issuer and guarantor.

FAQ
What is JPMorgan’s AMJB auto callable contingent interest note linked to the S&P 500, Russell 2000 and Dow?
The note is a structured debt security of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., that pays contingent quarterly interest and offers potential early redemption based on the performance of the S&P 500, Russell 2000 and Dow Jones Industrial Average.
How does the contingent 9.00% annual interest on the AMJB-linked note work?
Investors receive a contingent interest payment of at least $22.50 per $1,000 each quarter (at least 9.00% per annum) only if, on every day in that quarter, each index closes at or above 70% of its initial value. If any index falls below this barrier on any day in the period, no interest is paid for that quarter.
When can the JPMorgan AMJB structured note be automatically called early?
The note is automatically called on a review date (other than the first and final) if the closing level of each index is at or above its initial value on that date. If called, investors receive $1,000 per note plus any due contingent interest, and no further payments are made.
What happens at maturity if the auto callable note has not been called?
If not called and the final level of each index is at or above its initial value or no trigger event has occurred, investors receive $1,000 per note plus any final contingent interest. If a trigger event has occurred and any index finishes below its initial level, the maturity payment is $1,000 plus $1,000 × the least performing index return, which can result in substantial principal loss.
What is the trigger event and how can it cause loss of principal on the AMJB-linked note?
A trigger event occurs if, on any day from pricing through the final review date, the closing level of any index is below 70% of its initial value. If that happens and at maturity the least performing index ends below its initial level, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline in that index, potentially down to zero.
What credit risks do investors face with JPMorgan’s auto callable contingent interest notes?
The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.. All payments depend on the credit of both entities; if they fail to meet obligations, investors may receive less than owed or lose their entire investment.
Why is the estimated value of the AMJB auto callable note below the $1,000 issue price?
The document states an illustrative estimated value of about $963.40 per $1,000 note, with a final estimated value not less than $900. This reflects selling commissions, hedging costs and projected profits included in the issue price and the use of an internal funding rate.
