FAQ
What securities is JPMorgan Chase Financial (AMJB) offering in this 424B2?
The company is offering $2,804,000 of structured "Review Notes" linked to the lesser performing of the Dow Jones Industrial Average® and the Nasdaq-100 Index®, maturing on December 17, 2029, in $1,000 minimum denominations.
How do the automatic call features on the JPMorgan AMJB Review Notes work?
On each Review Date (from December 15, 2026 through December 12, 2029), if the closing level of each index is at or above 100% of its Initial Value, the notes are automatically called and pay back $1,000 plus a Call Premium of 12%, 24%, 36% or 48%, depending on which Review Date is triggered, and no further payments are due.
What happens at maturity if the JPMorgan AMJB notes are not automatically called?
If the notes are not called and the Final Value of each index is at or above 70% of its Initial Value, investors receive their full $1,000 principal per note. If either index is below 70% of its Initial Value, the payment becomes $1,000 + ($1,000 × Lesser Performing Index Return), so investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline in the weaker index and can lose all principal.
Do the JPMorgan AMJB Review Notes pay interest or dividends?
No. The notes do not pay periodic interest and investors do not receive dividends on any securities in either index. All potential return comes from an automatic call premium or the amount repaid at maturity.
What are the main risks of investing in these JPMorgan AMJB structured notes?
Key risks include the possibility of losing more than 30% and up to 100% of principal if the lesser performing index finishes below its 70% Barrier Amount, credit risk of JPMorgan Chase Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., no interest or dividend payments, potential lack of liquidity because the notes will not be listed on an exchange, and secondary market prices that are likely to be below the original issue price.
Why is the estimated value of the JPMorgan AMJB notes lower than the issue price?
The estimated value is $975.60 per $1,000 principal amount. It is lower than the issue price because it excludes certain costs in the original price, such as a $8.00 per $1,000 structuring fee on most of the issuance, projected hedging profits and estimated hedging costs.
How are the JPMorgan AMJB notes treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes?
JPMorgan’s special tax counsel believes it is reasonable to treat the notes as “open transactions” that are not debt instruments, so gains or losses should generally be long-term capital gain or loss if held more than one year, though the IRS could challenge this treatment. Investors are urged to consult their own tax advisers.
