JPMorgan (NYSE: AMJB) structured notes linked to three indices
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering callable contingent interest notes linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq-100 Index, the SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF and the VanEck Semiconductor ETF, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes pay a contingent coupon of at least $12.5833 per $1,000 (at least 15.10% per annum, paid monthly) for any review date on which each underlying stays at or above 70% of its initial value.
If the notes are not redeemed early and, on the final review date, any underlying closes below 60% of its initial value, repayment of principal is reduced one-for-one with the decline of the worst performer, and investors can lose more than 40% and up to all of their principal. JPMorgan may redeem the notes early on specified interest payment dates starting in July 2026, and the notes are unsecured obligations subject to the credit risk of both the issuer and guarantor. The preliminary estimated value is about $976 per $1,000 principal amount, and will not be less than $900 when finalized.

FAQ
What are JPMorgan AMJB Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to three underlyings?
The AMJB notes are structured investments issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.. They pay high, conditional interest and return of principal based on the performance of three separate underlyings: the Nasdaq-100 Index, the SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF (KRE), and the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH), with payoff determined by the least performing of the three.
How do contingent interest payments work on the AMJB notes?
On each monthly review date, if the closing value of each underlying is at least 70% of its initial value (the interest barrier), holders receive a Contingent Interest Payment of at least $12.5833 per $1,000 principal, equal to a rate of at least 15.10% per year (1.25833% per month). If any underlying is below its barrier, no interest is paid for that period.
When can JPMorgan redeem the AMJB notes early and what do investors receive?
JPMorgan may, at its option, redeem the notes early, in whole but not in part, on any interest payment date other than the first five and the final one. The earliest possible early redemption date is July 14, 2026. If redeemed, investors receive $1,000 per note plus any contingent interest due for the immediately preceding review date, and no further payments.
What happens at maturity of the AMJB notes if they are not redeemed early?
If the notes remain outstanding to the December 14, 2027 maturity and the final value of each underlying is at or above 60% of its initial value (the trigger value), investors receive $1,000 per note plus any final contingent interest. If the final value of any underlying is below its trigger, the maturity payment is reduced according to the least performing underlying’s return, and investors can lose more than 40% and up to all of their principal.
What are the main risks of investing in JPMorgan AMJB notes?
Key risks include: principal risk if any underlying finishes below 60% of its initial value; no guarantee of any interest because coupons are contingent on barrier levels; exposure to the worst-performing of the three markets (tech, regional banks and semiconductors); credit risk of both JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and JPMorgan Chase & Co.; and potential illiquidity since the notes are not exchange-listed and secondary market prices may be substantially below the issue price.
How is the estimated value of the AMJB notes determined and how does it compare to the price?
The preliminary estimated value per note is about $976 per $1,000 principal and will not be less than $900 when finalized. This value is based on an internal funding rate and the value of embedded derivatives, and is lower than the $1,000 price to the public because it excludes selling commissions, projected hedging profits and hedging costs that are built into the issue price.
Do investors in AMJB notes receive dividends from KRE, SMH, or the Nasdaq-100 companies?
No. Investors in the notes do not receive dividends on the SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF, the VanEck Semiconductor ETF, or on any stocks in the Nasdaq-100 Index. Any potential benefits from dividends are embedded in the note’s pricing but are not paid directly to holders.
