JPMorgan (AMJB) auto callable notes linked to Broadcom and CoreWeave stock
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering $1,677,000 of auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the lesser performing of Broadcom Inc. common stock and CoreWeave, Inc. Class A common stock, maturing in December 2026 and fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
The notes pay a monthly contingent coupon at a 38.00% per annum rate ($31.6667 per $1,000) only if on a review date the price of one share of each stock is at or above 60.00% of its initial value; missed coupons can be paid later if the condition is met.
The notes can be automatically called starting March 11, 2026 if both stocks are at or above their initial values, returning $1,000 plus due coupons. If held to maturity and either stock finishes below 50.00% of its initial value, repayment is reduced in line with the lesser performing stock and investors may lose most or all principal.
The notes are unsecured, not FDIC insured, may have limited liquidity, and have an estimated value of $957.20 per $1,000, reflecting selling commissions, hedging costs and issuer funding assumptions, with complex U.S. tax and potential withholding treatment.

FAQ
What is JPMorgan Chase Financial (AMJB) offering in this 424B2 filing?
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering $1,677,000 of Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the lesser performing of Broadcom Inc. common stock and CoreWeave, Inc. Class A common stock, maturing on December 16, 2026 and fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
How do the contingent interest payments on the AMJB-linked notes work?
For each $1,000 note, investors may receive a monthly Contingent Interest Payment of $31.6667, equal to a 38.00% per annum rate, only if on the applicable review date the closing price of one share of each reference stock is at or above 60.00% of its initial value. Missed coupons can be paid on later dates if the barrier is subsequently met, but no interest is paid if the condition is never satisfied.
When can these JPMorgan auto callable notes linked to Broadcom and CoreWeave be called early?
The notes can be automatically called on any review date other than the first, second and final review dates if the closing price of one share of each reference stock is at or above its Initial Value. The earliest possible automatic call date is based on the March 11, 2026 review date, with repayment of $1,000 per note plus the applicable contingent interest and any unpaid prior coupons.
What principal risk do investors in the AMJB auto callable contingent interest notes face at maturity?
If the notes are not automatically called and on the final review date the closing price of one share of either reference stock is below its 50.00% Trigger Value, the maturity payment per $1,000 note becomes $1,000 + ($1,000 × Lesser Performing Stock Return). In that case investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline in the lesser performing stock from its initial value and can lose more than 50.00% or even their entire principal.
Who issues and guarantees these JPMorgan structured notes and what is the credit risk?
The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. Payments depend on the credit of both entities; a deterioration in their creditworthiness or a default could result in investors receiving reduced amounts or losing their investment.
How does the estimated value of the AMJB-linked notes compare to the price to public?
The price to public is $1,000 per note, including $15 in fees and commissions, while the issuer’s estimated value at pricing is $957.20 per $1,000 note. The difference reflects selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses, and the estimated costs of hedging and structuring based on JPMorgan’s internal funding rate.
What are key tax and withholding considerations for investors in these JPMorgan auto callable notes?
JPMorgan currently intends to treat the notes as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons for U.S. federal income tax purposes, with contingent interest treated as ordinary income. For Non-U.S. Holders, a 30% U.S. withholding tax (subject to treaty relief) is expected on contingent interest payments, and no additional amounts will be paid to offset such withholding.
