JPMorgan (AMJB) launches Micron-linked auto callable notes with 23.25% contingent yield
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the common stock of Micron Technology, Inc. (MU), maturing on May 25, 2027, in $1,000 denominations. The notes can pay a monthly contingent interest rate of at least 23.25% per annum (at least $19.375 per $1,000 per month) if, on a given review date, Micron’s share price is at or above an interest barrier set at 60% of the initial value. The notes are automatically called from the third review date onward if Micron closes at or above its initial value, returning $1,000 plus the applicable contingent interest for that date.
If the notes are not called and Micron’s final price is at or above a 50% trigger value, investors receive $1,000 per note at maturity plus any final contingent interest. If the final price is below the trigger, repayment of principal is reduced in line with Micron’s decline, and investors can lose more than half or all of their principal. The notes are unsecured obligations exposed to the credit risk of JPMorgan entities. The issuer estimates the current value at about $954.70 per $1,000 note and states the final estimated value at pricing will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000 note.
