Index-linked notes from JPMorgan (NYSE: AMJB) with 1.20x leveraged upside
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is issuing $1,438,000 of Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes linked to the lesser performer of the Nasdaq-100 Index and the S&P 500 Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., and maturing on February 14, 2029.
The notes provide 1.20x leveraged upside at maturity if both indices finish above their initial levels; if either index is at or above 70% of its initial level, investors receive principal only. If either index is below 70% of its initial level, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the lesser-performing index, and investors can lose all principal.
The notes pay no interest or dividends, are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, and carry the credit risk of both JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. The price to the public is $1,000 per note, including $9.50 in selling commissions, while the estimated value at pricing was $980.90 per $1,000 note.

How do fees and estimated value compare to the issue price of AMJB notes?
The public issue price is $1,000 per note, including $9.50 in selling commissions. The estimated value at pricing was $980.90 per $1,000 note, reflecting selling, structuring and hedging costs, so secondary market prices are expected to be lower than the issue price.
Which indices underlie the JPMorgan AMJB uncapped accelerated barrier notes?
The notes are linked individually to the Nasdaq-100 Index and the S&P 500 Index. Payoff depends on the lesser-performing index’s return from pricing to the observation date, rather than on a combined basket, so weak performance in either index can significantly reduce repayment at maturity.
