JPMorgan Chase (AMJB) offers capped dual-directional buffered index notes
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering capped dual directional buffered equity notes linked to the lesser performing of the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM and the S&P 500® Index, maturing in March 2027.
The notes provide unleveraged upside to index gains, capped at a Maximum Upside Return of at least 10.45%, and can also pay a positive return if the weaker index falls by up to the 20.00% buffer, by using the absolute value of that loss. If either index declines by more than 20.00%, investors lose 1% of principal for each additional 1% drop, up to an 80.00% loss of principal.
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 an exchange. If priced today, the estimated value would be about $989.90 per $1,000 note, and the final estimated value on pricing will not be less than $900.00.

FAQ
What are JPMorgan AMJB capped dual directional buffered equity notes?
The AMJB notes are structured equity-linked securities issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., that tie returns to the lesser performing of the Nasdaq-100® Technology Sector IndexSM and the S&P 500® Index, with both upside caps and downside buffers.
How does the 20% buffer work on the JPMorgan AMJB notes?
The notes include a 20.00% buffer on the weaker index. If the lesser performing index ends down by up to 20.00%, investors receive a positive return equal to the absolute loss. If the lesser index falls by more than 20.00%, investors lose 1% of principal for each additional 1% decline, up to an 80.00% principal loss.
What is the maximum potential gain on the AMJB dual directional notes?
The notes cap upside. If the lesser performing index return is positive, the maximum gain is limited to a Maximum Upside Return of at least 10.45%. If the lesser index is negative but within the 20.00% buffer, the maximum payment at maturity is $1,200.00 per $1,000 note.
Do the JPMorgan AMJB notes pay interest or dividends?
No. The notes do not pay periodic interest and investors do not receive dividends from securities in either index. All value comes from the payment at maturity, which depends on the performance of the indices and the note formulas.
What are the key risks of investing in JPMorgan AMJB structured notes?
Investors face significant principal risk if either index falls by more than 20.00%, potential loss of up to 80.00% of principal, no interest or dividend income, credit risk of both JPMorgan entities, and limited liquidity since the notes are not exchange-listed and secondary prices may be well below the issue price.
What is the estimated value of the JPMorgan AMJB notes relative to the issue price?
If priced on the date referenced, the notes’ estimated value would be about $989.90 per $1,000 note, and the final estimated value at pricing will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000. The difference from the $1,000 issue price reflects selling commissions, structuring and hedging costs, and dealer profits.
