JPMorgan Chase Financial (AMJB) offers uncapped accelerated notes tied to EAFE ETF and EURO STOXX 50
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., plans to issue Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes linked to the lesser performance of the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF and the EURO STOXX 50® Index, maturing in December 2030. Each note has a $1,000 denomination and offers at least 1.96x any positive return of the weaker underlying at maturity if both finish above their initial values.
If either underlying finishes at or below its initial value but at or above 65% of its initial value, investors receive only their principal back. If either closes below this 65% barrier, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the loss on the lesser performing underlying, and principal can be entirely lost. The notes pay no interest or dividends, are unsecured obligations subject to the credit risk of both JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., and will not be listed on any exchange. An indicative estimated value is about $952 per $1,000 note, and the final estimated value will not be less than $900 per $1,000 note.

FAQ
What is JPMorgan Chase Financial (AMJB) offering in this 424B2 filing?
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes linked to the lesser performance of the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF and the EURO STOXX 50® Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes are structured products that combine equity exposure with principal-at-risk features.
How do the Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes linked to EFA and EURO STOXX 50 work?
At maturity, if both underlyings finish above their initial values, each note pays back $1,000 plus at least 1.96 times the return of the worse-performing underlying. If either is at or below its initial value but both stay at or above 65% of initial value, only principal is returned. If either falls below 65% of its initial value, repayment is reduced in line with the loss on the lesser performer and can fall to zero.
What are the main risks of these JPMorgan structured notes linked to EFA and EURO STOXX 50?
Key risks include full principal loss if either underlying closes below 65% of its initial value on the observation date, no interest or dividend payments, and exposure to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations and will not be listed, so liquidity may be limited and secondary market prices may be significantly below the original issue price.
What is the estimated value of the JPMorgan Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes at issuance?
If the notes priced on the date of the example, the estimated value would be approximately $952.00 per $1,000 principal amount note. The issuer states that when the terms are set, the estimated value disclosed will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000 note. This estimated value reflects internal funding rates, hedging costs, selling commissions and expected hedging profits.
Do investors in these AMJB notes receive interest or dividends from EFA or the EURO STOXX 50 companies?
No. The notes do not pay periodic interest, and investors do not receive dividends from the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF or from the companies included in the EURO STOXX 50® Index. Investors also have no voting or other ownership rights in the underlying securities or the fund.
What is the barrier level and what happens if it is breached on these JPMorgan notes?
For each underlying, the Barrier Amount is set at 65.00% of its Initial Value. If, on the observation date in December 2030, the final value of either underlying is below its barrier, the protection from the barrier terminates and the maturity payment is reduced by the same percentage loss as the lesser performing underlying, which can result in losing the entire principal.
Are these JPMorgan Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes insured or guaranteed by a government agency?
No. The notes are not bank deposits, are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency, and are not obligations of or guaranteed by a bank. Repayment depends solely on the financial condition and performance of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and the guarantee of JPMorgan Chase & Co.
