JPMorgan (AMJB) structured yield notes tied to Nasdaq-100 and Russell 2000
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering unsecured Yield Notes linked to the lesser performing of the Nasdaq-100 Index® and the Russell 2000® Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes pay at least 7.05% per annum, with semiannual interest of at least $35.25 per $1,000 on three scheduled dates through the July 8, 2027 maturity.
At maturity, investors receive full principal plus the final interest payment only if each index has not fallen more than the 20% buffer from its strike level. If either index is down more than 20%, principal is reduced by 1.25% for every 1% decline beyond the buffer, so some or all principal may be lost. The indicative estimated value is about $991.70 per $1,000 note and will not be less than $980.00, reflecting selling costs and hedging. The notes are not listed, expose holders to the credit risk of both JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., and do not pay any dividends from the underlying indices.

What are the JPMorgan AMJB yield notes linked to the Nasdaq-100 and Russell 2000?
The notes are unsecured debt securities of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., that pay a fixed interest rate of at least 7.05% per year and return of principal at maturity depends on the performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index® and the Russell 2000® Index.
How does the 7.05% interest on the AMJB yield notes work?
For each $1,000 principal amount, investors receive semiannual Interest Payments of at least $35.25, equal to an annual rate of at least 7.05%, on July 8, 2026, January 7, 2027 and the July 8, 2027 maturity date.
When do the JPMorgan AMJB yield notes mature and what is the payment at maturity?
The notes are scheduled to mature on July 8, 2027. If each index is at or above its Strike Value, or down by no more than the 20% buffer, investors receive $1,000 plus the final interest payment per note.

Can investors in the AMJB yield notes lose principal?
Yes. If the Final Value of either index is less than its Strike Value by more than the 20% Buffer Amount, the maturity payment is $1,000 + [$1,000 × (Lesser Performing Index Return + 20.00%) × 1.25], plus interest. In the worst case, investors can lose their entire principal.

If priced on the indicated date, the estimated value would be approximately $991.70 per $1,000 note, and when set it will not be less than $980.00 per $1,000. This is lower than the price to public because it excludes selling commissions, structuring and hedging costs.

Key risks include loss of principal if either index falls more than 20%, credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., no rights or dividends on index constituents, potential illiquidity since the notes are not exchange-listed, and the likelihood that secondary market prices will be below the original issue price.
How are the AMJB yield notes treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes?
JPMorgan intends to treat each note as a unit consisting of a cash-settled Put Option written by the investor and a $1,000 Deposit, with a portion of each Interest Payment treated as interest on the Deposit and the remainder as Put Premium. The pricing supplement will provide the final allocation, and investors are urged to consult their tax advisers.
