JPMorgan (AMJB) unveils uncapped accelerated barrier index notes
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering unsecured, unsubordinated structured notes fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes are linked to the least performing of the Dow Jones Industrial Average®, the Nasdaq-100 Index® and the S&P 500® Index and are scheduled to mature on February 4, 2031.
At maturity, if each index finishes above its Initial Value, investors receive $1,000 plus at least 1.475× the gain of the least performing index. If any index is at or below its Initial Value but all stay at or above 80% of Initial Value, principal is returned. If any index closes below this 80% barrier, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the decline of the least performing index, resulting in losses greater than 20% and up to a total loss of principal.
The notes pay no interest or dividends, will not be listed on any exchange and may be difficult to sell. An example estimated value is $930 per $1,000 principal amount, and the final estimated value will not be less than $900, reflecting costs and hedging factors. All payments depend on the credit of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan AMJB uncapped accelerated barrier notes described here?
The notes are structured investments issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., that return at maturity an amount linked to the least performing of the Dow Jones Industrial Average®, the Nasdaq-100 Index® and the S&P 500® Index, with potential leveraged upside and substantial downside risk.
How does the payoff on these JPMorgan AMJB notes work at maturity?
If the Final Value of each index is above its Initial Value, investors receive $1,000 plus the least performing index return multiplied by an Upside Leverage Factor of at least 1.475. If any index finishes below its 80% barrier, repayment is $1,000 plus the least performing index return, causing losses greater than 20% and potentially a total loss of principal.
What indices are referenced by the AMJB uncapped accelerated barrier notes?
The notes reference three equity indices: the Dow Jones Industrial Average® (INDU), the Nasdaq-100 Index® (NDX) and the S&P 500® Index (SPX). The payoff is based on the performance of the worst-performing of these indices over the term of the notes.
What is the barrier level on the JPMorgan AMJB notes and why does it matter?
For each index, the Barrier Amount is set at 80.00% of its Initial Value. If the Final Value of any index is below this level on the Observation Date, the protection ends and repayment is reduced in line with the decline of the least performing index, so investors can lose more than 20% and up to all of their principal.
Do the JPMorgan AMJB notes pay interest or dividends?
No. The notes do not pay periodic interest, and investors do not receive dividends on the stocks in any of the underlying indices or any shareholder rights. All potential return is delivered, if at all, only at maturity based on index performance.
What are the main risks of investing in these JPMorgan AMJB structured notes?
Key risks include the possibility of losing some or all principal if any index ends below its 80% barrier, credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., no interest or dividend income, no exchange listing and limited liquidity, and secondary market prices that are likely to be below the original issue price.
How does the estimated value compare to the price of the AMJB notes?
If priced on the indicated date, the notes would have an estimated value of about $930 per $1,000 principal amount, and the final estimated value will not be less than $900 per $1,000. The difference from the $1,000 price reflects selling commissions, projected hedging profits and hedging costs.
